FIRE WOOD.

The very high price Of WOOD, and
the great consumption of it in this town,
and on the Island, we should suppose
would induce those who have that article
to sell, to hasten it to this market, where
from five to ten thousand cords are now
wanted. Wood commands a higher
price here, than in any of the neighbor-
ing towns. Oak, and other hard wood
is at present selling at nine dollars-pine
at about eight, and walnut from 10 TO
l2 dollars per cord. COMM.
