The Single Market.

In commenting on the present con-
dition of the single market, the Ia
coma Lumberm an says the good effects
OF the closing down proposition are al
ready being felt. The prices are firmer
and there are practically no shing les
on the market. Eastern buyers are in
the field trying to contract for round
lots. They are using argument TO
prove to the mill man that he should
contract now, because shingles may
he weak in the spring" Ii he really
thought SO he would not try to buy
now. The mill man is getting little
wiser each year. He knows more
about the shingle business than he did
a few years ago. He knows that the
big Eastern buyer, as rule, lays for
him and ambushes him when he can.
The line yard man of the East-who is
not in any senes jobber-buys out of
season, always. when the market is off.
If the mill men will remain closed
down until February |, start off with
moderate prices and raise them as the
trade demands, the year 1899 will be
the best one the single men have ever
seen.

WANTS NO NICARAGUA CANAL.
Russia Launches a Campaign Against
the American scheme.

New York, Jan. "a dispatch from
Paris SAYS: The IIerald's European
edition prints the following:
Russia is evidently beginning a
campaign against the Nicaragua canal.
Tie Novoe Vremya publishes an article
not only warmly advocating the Pana-
ma scheme, but filled with bitter dis
like of the United States.
The writer says the predominance OF
the United States would have been de-
srable for Russia few years ago, but
all this has changed since the last
war. lie goes on to say that, having
despoiled poor Spain, the United States
has become a colonial party and an
Asiatic power.
Forgetting the Monroe doctrine of
America for Americans, which implies
the other doctrine that American do
minion must be confined to America,
the Yankees" he says, "are now enter
ing into open competition with us in
China and Corea. They have no
scruples over an alliance with their
traditional enemy England, and with
Japan for this purpose.
For this reason Russian financiers
and diplomats ought to give their sup
port to the French undertaking when
it comes to seriously discarding the
naturalization of the Panama canal and
placing it under the general control or
guarantee of the European powers.
The writer declares the Panama route
would be more beneficial to Russia
than the Nicaragua route.
This latter canal" he adds, "even
supposing its completion possible,
would be purely American undertake
ing. whereas the Panama canal remains
in the hands of our allies, the French,
or it may become an international en-
terprIse with the addition OF a strong
American element to its shareholders. /"
The Novoe Vremya says:
"Russia must therefore, be on her
guard against the United States. es-

wealth of its Pacific shores and STRAIT.

StiInsOn VIII Not Sold.

There is no truth in the report that
the old Port Madison mill. which has
been shut down for several years. had
been purchased by the Stimson Mill
Company, of Ballard, and that the COM
pauy would run the old mill on scale
far exceeding the palmiest days of the
old Madison Mill Company. A fat
denial is given these rumors by G. ID.
Stmson, of the Stimson Mill Company,
who says that there is not the slightest
foundation for such rumor.

Fastest Train i'm the World,

Cleveland, o.. Jan. l.-As a result
of meeting of division superintend-
ents of the Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern railroad. just held here to re-
arrange timetables, it is announced
that the new fast mail, which is to
be started next Sunday between New
York and San Francisco. will be the
fastest regular train in the world.
That is to say, there is no other train
which goes SO great distance in as
short time every day in the year.
The total reduction in time between
New York and San Francisco over the
present schedule is little over IL
hours.
