WOOL AND LUMBER.
LUMBER.-The market has presented a
! quiet appearance the past week. Prices re-
main steady. There is fair amount of
snow in the East and large number of
| teams and men have heen sent into the
woods. In the North some sections are
well supplied with snow, but others are
! almost bare. Good efforts are being made
to cut an average quantity of logs, but
the season is late and a good rain-storm
would clean the snow nearly off. We
quote rough hemlock boards at $40 to
! $1,000, and planed at S11.50 to S12; spruce
underfloors at S16 and Northern stock
boards at $50; extra sawed cedar shingles at

| $50, clear at $50 to 500 and No. at So to
$50; spruce and pine laths, 81 to 1925.
WooL.-The market continues very quiet,
with no perceptble change from the posi-
| ton of last week. There has been a fair at
tendance during the week, with large in
quiry for sample bags, which probably is
| significant of a good demand about the LIST
of February, when manufacturers will have
taken sufficient orders to indicate the wool
needed by them for the manufacture of the
new heavy weights. Medium Ohio and
Pennsylvania fleece is not in very active de-
mand nor in large supply Michigan X is
very steady; combing and delaine are quiet
and in little request; Texas wool is barren of
