There appears to be no let up in the wood
famine as yet. Cars cannot be procured to
transport supplies from the interior, and those
who have wood in hand have learned of the
scarcity here, and take advantage of it to exact
the highest prices. Last year, on the st. Paul
Manitoba railway, wood could be had for
$3 per cord, and was bought
at that price by our home dealers.
Now they have to pay S4.25 for the same
quality of wood. The "honest farmer has the
wood in his hands and he means to make the
most of it, "a any body else would do under
the circumstances. Besides the 4.25 per cord
city dealers, who get their supplies from that
direction. have tn pay SIZE freight, and then
sell at from So. 80 to 81 on the market here
Where their profit cOmes in after the wastage,
and hauling. would require a microscope to
discover.
The out door city market, on Seventh, is
closed by cold weather, and purchasers go by
store prices.
A New York dispatch OF last evening says
1.-THE dry goods general market is quiet, but
cotton goods are moving steadily and prices
strong. Prints quiet. but stocks light in frs;
hands and best makes firmly held Ginghams
in light demand and firm. Light weight fancy
cassimeres and worsted coatings in moderate
demand and steady"
