Of which viii probably como 10 this port
PERE MARorErTE.-There we're no logs got
out at this place during the winter; but there
are 100000 feet Of old logs LEFT over. The
proprietor Of the mill here has not yet decided
whether 10 run Il or not
PoINr sAuBLE AND ADJACENT PoNrs.-Lhst
year Mr. Mebrs run four mills-one at little Ssu-
bic, one 81 Big Point Sauble, one at Pentwater,
and one AZ Duck Lakeland turned out about
100000 feet. The mill at Duck Lake was des-
troyed by FIRE and this year he has logs suff-
Gent TO cut at his three mills about 5000 900
feet. The balance Of the mills in that section
will not get out more than two-thirds the guam
tity cut last year. One mill at Pentwater, which
ran last year, viii stand idle this year. Free
Soil cut last year about 1900, 900 feet but will
scarcely come up to this the present year. II is
estimated that the entire yield Of the mills be-
tween White Lake and Pere Marquette win not
exceed 100000 feet
wHI1E LAKE.-Thore are eighteen mills at
White Lake-fve Of which ran last year, send
ing to this market about 12,000,0 600 feet This
year six mills are expected to run, but they have
not logs sufficient TO turn out more than 9,Oo0,-
900 feet. OF this amount about 100000 will
probably come to this market--the balance to
Milwaukee and other Lake ports.
ST. JosEPH.-The scarcity Of snow also impe-
ded logging in this section and few is any of tho
mills viii run at their full capacity, while some
Of them will stand idle entirely. There are two
at Water Welt which turned out last year about
100000. This year they have not logs for
more than 100000 feet. Absve Water Welt
there are two mills turned out last year about
2,OOO, 600. This year they have not logs for more
than half that amount 1t is estimated that s.
0OO, OOo feet will be turned out this season very
little Of Whi-h is pine.
KALANAzoo.-Th The amount TO be cut ut this
point is vsriously estimated at from eight to nine
million feet. The scarcity Of snow prevented
many mills from getting more than half the
number Of logs they set out 10 cut
sorrH HAvEx.--Donlsrs do not expect that
South Haven will send more than one million
feet 10 this market
ST. CLAIR RIVER, LAKE HuRoN, 6c.-The
manufacturers on the ST. Clair River and Lake
Huron set out at the beginning Of white. 10 get
about half the usual quantity Of logs. but they
did not get more than ono-fourth. On Black
River there was very little snow. One manu-
facturer in THE region intended to get 5000
logs, but he did not get over 500. At Point au
Barques the snow was deeper, and those mills
which are to run have fair supplies. Al Thun-
der Bay there are two mills which have got out
logs sufficient Tor three n,iliign feet, bat ti.sy
will not commence running until June.
We know Of but one contract, for two mil
lion fect) from ST. Clair River for this market,
and the most recent that common lumber
on the ST. Clair River was selling at 50. q thou
sand-rendcrs it highly probable that no more
contracts viii be made til the prices improve
here. AT Tavas, il was calculated 70 get out
abou; 2,5oO,ocO feet, but they did not gc, half
that
CANADA-GEoRGiAN BAY, PoRr BURwELI.
wELLAND CANAL, &c.--In the Georgian Bay re.
gion, Cuilingwood, Nottawassaga, Barry &C,
there are about fourteen mills but on account
Of heavy losses last season, large proportion Of
these win stand idle this year. Among these
are, Harrisons a Smiths mill, J. Mewatt 4
Co.'S two mills, Steers 4 Co.'S mill, and two or
three others, whose owners have not been named
TO us. But in all, IL is estimated that the manu-
facture Of this region will not exceed 1000 600
feet, against AZ, 600 900 last year. Very little
Of this will come 10 Lake Michigan, rs those
who are to manufacture this year, usually sell
in the Albany market.
On the North shore Of Lake Erie, there was
very little snow last winter. and comparatively
few logs were got out. At Port Burwell, and
along the Wellsnd Canal there we're about TO-
600 600 feet sent 10 this market last year but
this year there will not, according 10 all &C
counts, be more than 100000 feet There will
be no lumber sent from Lake Ontario this sea
son, 20 this market.
REcAPrTuLAuoN.The foregoing facts VIC
have CLEANED from reliable sources, and although
in some instances they are mere estimates, yet
they are generally made by men whose expert
encc enables them 10 form pretty correct ideas
on tho subject, based on general facts. Below
We give a recapitalation Of the whole supply, a.
enumerated above:
