The Lumber market during the past week has
been very quiet, but there IL still very firm fse1-
Ing among holders. The receipts chow an increase
on those Of the weak previous but comparatively
little is thrown on the market. Both snanufactu-
and dealers aeem dtsfncined to sell very free
II, unless at an advance, which buyers at present
are not willing to aecede to.
The fEmneas among manufacturers 1s at1mu1a-
ted to some degree by the scarcity Of vessels aud
the upward tendency in freighta, Offers were
freely made ct SITE per Thousand from Muske-
son, and $3.50 from Grand River; but at these
figures the demand for vessels Ii greater than tile
supply. From Saginaw and Green Bay there Is
the game complaint. Grain vessels, bound up, in
consequence OF the high rates Of doWI-freights,
not willing to stop into either places for IRm-
bez, and We hear Of s. % per Thousand being paid
from pconto and Menominee Rivers. Some man-
nlacturers. under the impression that freghts will
become eaeier later in the season, are laudsbly ab
staining from sending their lumber here at such
freights.
There has been good demand for cazgoes do
ring the past week, and the market is firm but not
any higher. As compared with prices before the
advance II irejghts, there is really advance In
the price of ilumber-eteept to the manu- facturers
who had contracts for carrying their lumber during
the entire eeason. The following are few Of the
prominent transactions two cargoes Of common
Green Bay lumber, mill run, at $7.0o cargo Of
echr Illinois, from Nnskegoo, medium quality,
strips and boards, At $7D; cargo Of echr Active,
from Muskegon, COMMON quality, at Sc SO; cargo
