H1rMEETs OF LUMBER, EHEaLEs1 AND 1AFA fo6

IUMBER-The receipts OF Lumber during the i
past week shows falling of Of about four and q
half million feet, from the supply OF the week pre-
7ious The receipts thus far for the season are
little heaTier than In 1861, but about sixteen mil
lion feet LEGS than was received up to the corrcs
pon1iTg datein 1885,
The market in the carly part Of the week was
brisk ard firm, and cargoes met with ready sale at
ssCc6ss 50, according to quality. Towards the |
taoee, however, buyers showed less disposition to
pay these prices, and the sales did not rule quite
IS high. For good cargoes Of mixed lumber 1t |
was difficult to get over ss.93, and some very fair
sold Mt $500. City dealers have been selling
freely at $e0o, and sema at &s 509875 for second
grade Of Common and unless they advance their
figures they ttpaot afrssd to pay the prices paid
dung the past two weeks Country dealers, on
The other hand have been able to purchase to bet
ter advantage in the yards than BY cargoes, ezcep
where select lots have been obtained for the puI
pose Of asserting their yards.
It noticeable fact thia Eeason, that manufac-
tnrers at the mills inspect their lumber almost IS
closely az the yards in this city; and it rarely
happens that cargoes sold without inspection run
upas high as third clear, and In man7 instances
! they average only "second Commo1, NOT to
speak Of cus-when the price paid is about as high
as the quotations in the yards By the carload. OF
corrsc this will cure itself in time bat mean
while some Country dealers are led to imagine,

they will get fair proportion Of the upper quail
ties.
