TIMBER.

LIVERPOOL.—There have been no arrivals of timber
during the week, and only one cargo of St. John pine has
been sold from the yard at 2s. sd. per foot, for an average
girth of 201 inches. The sales of timber from the St.
Lawrence are confined to retail from the yards, the bulk
of the stock being in the hands of the dealers. Several
cargoes of deals have arrived, chiefly from St. John, New
Brunswick, the bulk of which are being stored on account
of the importers, without being offered for sale ; where
sales have been pressed lower rates have been submitted
to than those previously paid. St. Stephen spruce has
brought £l2 7s. ed. to £l3 2s. 6d., and St. John £l2 15s.
to £l3 12s. ed.; one cargo having been sold as low as
£l2 10s. The stocks in the dealers hands are moderate,
some of the more extensive of them have reduced their
stocks from an average, at this season. from 4,500
standards to considerably less than 1,000 standards, with
the view of replacing at lower rates than the present cost
of importation. The stock in the hands of consumers in
the country is light, and far below an average, and the
demand during the past week has been considerable.
There have been no recent sales of Baltic timber or deals
to report from the quay. The bulk of late arrivals have
been stored by the importers for war prices.
