Hardwood lumber shipped from
the Pine lake region, Charlevoix
county, Mich. this year amounted TO
IL, lbs. 900 against Is, 797, $50 in 1884,
and 1851, 900 in 1888. TIE decrease
this year is accounted for from the
fact that two mills have been shut
down during the season, owing TO
the inactivity of the market.

and Menominee, Mich. have inspect
ed and shipped from the mouth of
the Menominee this season 25, 00O, 900
feet Of lumber and $1,000, 900 feet
from Saginaw valley. Mr.. Bradley
says that he can find sale for
81, 900, 600 feet of lumber next sea
son if he can secure that amount to
handle.
Late figures 10 the Toronto Globe
made IL appear that receipts of lam
Der at that point this year had been
Ii 600 900 feet less than in 1884. A
correspondent TO the same paper ex.
plains the apparent deficiency by the
fact that receipts this year for local
consumption, not being reported
with receipts for shipment. have
been sufficient 10 raise the total to
about that of last year.
