WOOL AND LUMBER.
LUMBER.-The very unfavorable weather
has had depressing effect on the lumber
L
| ket, seriously interfered with construction
and prevented deliveries, and there has been
very little business offering. The general
situation remains unchanged, however. The
feeling as to the prospects of the spring
trade continues very hopeful. Reports from
| the North and East state that logging is
going on vigorously and the prospects are
that fair average lot of logs will be cut
and at lower cost than last season. We
