The above figures do not include the re,
ccipts By our Eastern railroads, which con-
sisted chiefly Of hardwood lumber, and
! would probably amount to fifteen or eighteen
millions Of feet. In the receipts Of shingles
given are not included the quantity brought
In by the Chicago and Northwestern Rail-
road from Green Bay since the close of nayi-
cation.
We find from the receipts Of the past
year avery considerable increase upon those
Of 1662a, such an one as considering the sup
posed md actual deficiency Of tie ordinary
supply Of laborers in the country, as the r.
suits Of enlistments into the army,
etc., cxcitcs our surprise. This in
crease amounts. to IS, 7D9,s52 feet
Of lumber, or nearly q per cent; to 21,-
2so,cS3 shingles, OF rcar1y14 per cent; to
II, 600 pcs laths,. or nearly IS per cent
With this extraordinary and rnpld growth in
the supply Of the market, there has been,
throughout the year, more thnn ordinary
da0lcnlty In executing orders, because Of the
utter inability Of our Railroad Companies
to trapsmit in due course anything like the
quantity of lumber required tn many paris
Of the country. Ono Of the principal causes
OF The Increased demand in this market has
a1lscp from our having had In addition to
our own trade, to supply the whole Of that
section Of the country which usually obtain:
Its plies from the Upper Mississippi.
