volume OF goods sent out was largely in re-
spouse TO free demand from up-coast lumb Der
sea ports. The consumption of lumber in
TINS State, and larger export movement,
nave called for more hands in numbering
camps, particularly from those up coast and
Inns, IN part, accounts for the better demand
ior groceries and merchandise in general. 1t
mas been several years since there was so free
a demand for lumber, and this, too, not spec
uiative, but legitimate, grounded on improve
ments mainly in the country. To railroad
construction, quite naturally, much is trace
aple. Every mile of railroad built adds just
30 much TO our wealth by bringing into closer
ana cheaper relations many fertile valleys
with the sea ports and other distributing
points. Improved transportation extends the
artery of trade into sections which have lain
dormant and almost worthless except for
pasture and other primitive purposes. The
awakening TO the new life brings in its wake
more farms, which add their share to the
general prosperity of the country.
The local money market has continued easy,
and we might say lifeless, for there is an al
most entire absence of any inquiry. In ex-
pectation of serious financial breakers ahead
merchants, wholesale and retail, have for
sometime past been trimming sails so as TO
weather the storm, and is Invariably the
case under such circumstances there are very
few failures. After the middle of next month
money ought to be in better demand, to move
the grain crop, but as the reserve is very large
no difficulty need be apprehended of the mar
ket working close. Eastern and European
mail advices continue to report a plethora of
funds. The total absence of speculation at
home or abroad is the most remarkable thing
we have witnessed in our years as a CONNER
cial and financial writer.
Silver continues to weaken of, but this was
expected. For over a year the market has ad-
vanced slightly the fore part of each month
under mint buying, but as soon as the re-
Quired 4,50O, 900 ounces are secured these
prices shade of, only to be advanced again in
the next month under mint buying. This
1iuctuation causes the metal to be attractive
10 spectators. Bills of exchange on London
are scarce and wanted.

but fairly firm. Buyers have been disap-
pointed in not getting prices down TO lower
