INFORMATION WANTED.

Tne publishers of the CANADA LUMBERMAN
have forwarded to lumber manufacturers
throughout the Dominion a circular requesting
certain information regarding the trade of the
year 1898, the data being*required for the
annual review to appear in our February num-
ber. Persons receiving these circulars will
confer a favor by returning same, with the re-
quired particulars, to this office without delay.
Readers are respectfully asked to assist us as
far as possible by placing at our disposal their
views regarding the trade of the year.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Although the lumber demand is quiet
at present, as might be expected, the
prospects are by no means discouraging,
and lumbermen generally are preparing
for increased business in 1899. Stocks
aré below the average, and the building
and manufacturing industries are in a
prosperous condition, giving hope of a
steadily growing consumption of lumber.
Encouraged by these conditions, manufac-
turers are operating in the woods on a
scale equal to or larger than last winter,
and are paying greater attention to the
getting of stock suitable for the local
market. An advance in the price of
certain grades of pine is expected before
the spring. Mild weather is interfering
with logging operations in some localities.
Dealers continue to receive orders for
hatdwood lumber which cannot be filled,
owing to inatility to find the stock.
Basswood has been completely sold out,
and there is no quantity of the other hard-
woods to be found. ‘The scarcity has in-
duced some manufacturers to operate their
mills during the winter, but the quantity
cut will not go far in supplying the
demand.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Very little has transpired within the
past week affecting the lumber trade of
Quebec. No stock of any account is Mov-
ing, and buyers have not as yet entered
the market vigorously. A transaction of
some importance is the purchase by
Messrs. J. Burstall & Company of the rafts
of pine timber of the St. Anthony Lumber
Company now wintering at Cap Rouge,
Quebec, the purchase price of which is said
to be nearly $150,000. . The conditions of
1899 are yet uncertain, though prospects
seem favorable. In New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia the outlook has improved,
but not to the extent as to induce manu-
facturers to increase their operations in
the woods. The stock of deals wintering
at St. John is twenty-three million feet
less than last year, which, with the de-
creased production of this winter, will no
doubt strengthen the market. We under-
stand that British buyers have shown
their hand, but shippers are believed to
be holding for more favorable prices, a
stand which is warranted to some extent
by the improved prospects in South
America, the West Indies and the United
States. It is much to be hoped that the
overproduction of last year will not again
be repeated, and it would seem that manu-
facturers and shippers alike are now alive
to this fact. A larger profit on a smaller
output is more desirable than the reverse.

UNITED STATES.

Not for many years has the lumber
market of the United States closed with
the same degree of strength. Nearly
every class of lumber is regarded as good
property, and there is not the slightest
fear that present prices will not be main-
tained throughout the winter. Stocks of
pine at the leading manufacturing centres
are much smaller than at the close of
1897, while retailers and consumers have
only a moderate supply, and will likely

continue to buy to a more or less extent
during the winter months, more particu-
larly as low rail rates prevail. The urgent
demand for box lumber continues, nor-
thern No. 4 boards being entirely cleaned
up, and heavy sales of No. 3 having been
made in order to supplement the lack of
No. 4. It 1s encouraging to note that in
the east the tendency is towards advanced
prices. Our Buffalo correspondent points
to the improved demand for pine, as well
as for other woods, and forecasts a general
shortage in many grades before the spring.
This, we think, reflects the conditions
prevailing at other wholesale points in the
Eastern States. The year closed with
broken stocks and a desire on the part of
wholesalers to increase their holdings.

The shortage in the supply of box lum-
ber has resulted in basswood being sub-
stituted to some extent by box manfac-
turers, and as a result there is very little
basswood to be found in the country. It
is said that box manufacturers have paid
$9.50 per thousand for cull basswood at
Minneapolis. * Hardweeds generally are
firm and scarce. In the north there has
been a brisk demand for birch, to be used
in furniture manufacture, and prices have
advanced $2 per thousand. Maple, ash,
and rock and soft elm are much inquired
for by Buffalo dealers, who are paying 516
to $18 for thick 1st and 2nd soft elm, $28
to $32 for same quality white ash, and $17
to $19 for maple. Hemlock is held firmly,
but the demand is backward. The spruce
market is much in the same condition,
although manufacturers are making a
strong effort to maintain higher prices.

FOREIGN.

Australia is suffering from intense heat
aud drought, and disastrous bush fires are
threatening. In many parts of New South
Wales rivers have dried up ; business has
been interfered with and work suspended.
There 1s practically no demand for lum-
ber. Reports from Great. Britain tell of
holiday quietude, although the market is
firm, and buying is expected to commence
very soon. Prices of Canadian woods are

improving.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

It is stated that Albert Pack, of Alpena,
Mich., is negotiating for mills and ex-
tensive timber lands in Chippewa county,
Michigan.

The Menominee and Marinette mills,
in Michigan, manufactured in 1898 408,-
200,000 feet of lumber, exclusive of lath
and shingles.

Several of the Ottawa lumbermen are
commencing to get out a considerable
quantity of cedar each year, taken off the
limits where the pine has already been
removed.

J. W. Munro, of Pembroke, Ont., is
lumbering quite extensively at Lake Wah-
napitae, Ont., having 125 men and 25 teams
in the woods. About 9,000,000 feet of
logs have already been cut.

The Indians on the Cope, Croker and
Saugeen reserves, in North Bruce, Ont.,
have passed a resolution asking that the
islands of Georgian Bay be put up at

auction, the proceeds to be applied toa
trust fund. Some of the land involved
contains large quantities of pine timber.

It is stated that the Ontario Lumber
Co. will start their mill at French River,
Ont., as soon as logs can be obtained in
the spring. The company have four
large camps in the woods this winter.

A movement is said to be on foot for
the consolidation of the spruce saw mills
in the New England States, and further
to induce a number of the wills in New
York state to enter the proposed com-
bination.

Mr. E. F. Stephenson, Dominion
crown timber agent, Winn:peg, has re-
ceived a return of the quantity of lumber
imported into Manitoba from the United
States dnring 1898. The amount was
over 30,C00,000 feet.

Pelton & Reid, of Cheboygan, Mich.,
have contracted with Munro & Gordon,
of Pembroke, Ont., for 15,000,000 feet of
logs, which are being put in on Lake
Wahnapitae, and will come down French
river to Georgian Bay, whence they will
be towed across to Cheboygan. These
logs are from Indian lands, which are not
affected by the Ontario prohibitory law.

Four timber berths were sold at the
Crown lands office, Fredericton, N. B.,
last week, at the upset price of $8 per
mile. They wereas follows: 2-mile berth
on Four Mile brook branch of the Gul-
quac river, to R. A. Estey; 2¥%-mile
berth and 9-mile berth on Crystal brook,
to Samuel Adams; 234-mile berth on
Nepisiquit mill stream, to Sumner & Co.,
of Bathurst.

Indications point to a heavy input of
- northern pine logs this winter and a full
running of the mills next season. In
some localities, particularly the western
Lake Superior and upper Michigan sec-
tions, logging conditions thus tar have
not been favorable, but there is sufficient
time to get out a full stock of logs. In
lower Michigan logging conditions aré
pronounced ideal, and a good average
crop will: be secured.

A report comes from Skagway that
lumber is greatly needed. There is no
building lumber there, and construction
- work on a half dozen buildings has been
stopped in consequence. The dealers m
the north had stocks at the beginning of
winter which they considered ample.
They did not anticipate that building
would ‘continue during cold weather.
According to reports, there has been little
falling off in construction work, and all
the lumber that can be sent north will be
used.

The Rat Portage Lumber Company, of
Rat Portage, Ont., are greatly increasing
their operations in the woods this winter.
Their cut wi!l probably be in the neigh-
borhood. of 50,000,000 feet. Graham,
Horne & Co., late of Fort William, are
logging 8,000,000 feet of pine for them on
the American or Minnesota side of the
Rainy river. This limit was purchased
by the Rat Portage Lumber Company
last summer from Congressmen Eddy, of
St. Paul. Graham, Horne & Co. have an
equipment of too men and 17 teams, the
logs being banked on the ice on the
Rainy river, over 3,000,000 now being
skidded.

Mr. Long, who operates with Mr.
Hughes, of the Beaver mills, Brandon, is
logging about 2,500,000 feet some {f00
miles up the Big Fork river, in Min-
nesota. These operators had their entire
drive of 2,000,000 feet hung up in the Big
Fork river last summer. They expect
that if the logs get down safely in the
spring, they will have a busy season next
summer. The lumbermen in the Rainy
River district expect that the new Ontario
& Rainy River Railway will make avail-
able large tracts of timber on Rainy Lake.
McKenzie & Mann’s surveying party is
now camped near Mine Centre, Ont., and
are engaged in surveying the line both
ways.

The lumber yard of the Sheppard & Morse
Lumber Company, together with their dry-
house and shaving shed, at Burlington, Vt.,
were totally destroyed by fire on the 24th inst.

BUFFALO AND TONAWANDA.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.]

There is a continuation 6f the good feeling in
the lumber trade, all on account of the stir in
the east that has followed the earlier stir in the
west. For a long ‘time, practically all the
season, the west and south were demanding
and paying a good advance over last year for
the entire range of lumber, but the east held
back so persistently that it was no use to ask
more here, for if it had been done the stock
would have been left on our hands. It is quite
a different story now. The east has found that
if it is to get lumber to sell again, it must pay
the price, and it appears to have come to the
conclusion that it is a good thing to have lum-
ber on hand again. For a long time very small
stocks have been held east. Whenever any-
thing was wanted, it was bought hastily and
ordered in as soon as it could be delivered. In
this way the trade was kept up. There was
no faith in the immediate future of the trace,
and Jumbey on hand wag.held to be poor prop-
erty. It turned out to be true for so long that
not a few. members of the trade despaired of
ever seeing a better price on their holdings
here, though they were obliged to pay more
for all they bought.

Some of the eastern lumbermen who held
the cut of southern mills were astonished to
find that they could sell much of it westward
to better advantage than they could east, and
they knew that so long as this state of things
lasted there was no use in trying to mass up
stock at home. They have overdone their
caution, though, for there is to-day very little
that can be called better property than lumber.
Practically all sorts and grades are higher than
they were through the summer, and if the
scarcity and lack of needed grades continues,
the spring will see a still further advance. It
is true that the east, including this market, is
still afraid to stand out for the prices that
should be asked, but there is a big change here
already.

We hear that there is more asked at mill
centres than can be obtained in Bufalo, freight
differences taken into account. It was re-
ported that Memphis was asking $40 for four-
inch ash, and even buyers say that it will be
paid, but we are not yet getting a correspond-
ing price. It isa fact, though, that anyone
who has stuff of this sort, suitable for the agri-
cultural and other machinery shops, can ask
about what he likes. There is a scarcity of
ash, elm and basswood, and in a less degree of
poplar and maple, that is little short of alarm-
ing. Some cautious dealers are saying that
such reports ought not to be allowed to get
into the trade journals, for the saw-mill man

watches them much more closely than the ~

dealers and consumers do, and he will take too
much advantage of the situation. Well, if that
is the reason for the difference in the ability io
grasp the situation, there is no reason for com-
plaint. If the average eastern dealer leaves his
lumber paper unopened,,or distrusts what he
finds in it, let him be frank once in a while and
confess that there are those who know how to
use it to a purpose.

There is about as great a shortage in pine as
in hardwoods, for the grades are so badly
broken that there will be nothing left of the
scant ones by spring, and it now looks as
though only cutting-up grades would be left
anyhow, for both uppers and box are very hard
to find. Tonawanda appears to be worse off
than Buffalo, for almost every day. there is a
call from there for something of which there is
none too much here.

The lakes did not close till very late, and
lumber and shingles came in with the very last,
something that usually does not happen.

Strange enough, there was no damage to the_

lumber fleet at the last, in spite of the many
losses to the grain fleet.

It is said that the barge’ Fassett, of the
Holland & Emery Company, which failed to
get down on the November trip, and had to be
unloaded while ashore on Lake Huron) will
no doubt be released in the spring. On the
next trip from Byng Inlet the same tow was
caught in the ice and will not deliver its lamber
till spring, unless it is shipped down by rail.
This is about the whole of the lumber losses
for the season with which this port had to do,

The Holland yard, as well as the neighbor-
ing one of C. M. Betts & Co., and the now
abandoned one of the Arthur Hill Co., was
flooded a few days ago by the overflowing of
the canal, caused by leaving the Black’ Rock
lock open. Many low piles were upset, the
plank roads carried off, and much damage done
by the mud and rubbish that was carried over
the yards. The state will have to pay for the
damage, no doubt.

Speaking of the canal, it should be noted
that the canal enlargement association, com-
posed of the boating interests mainly, has
about perfected a bill providing for the carry-
ing on of the work of canal improvement, be-

ginning with the enlargement of the locks, as

should have been done at the outset.
shipped 28,182,000 feet of lumber by canal
during the past season and received 2,341,000
feet, Tonawanda shipped 184,710,000 feet.
The receipts by lake were 183,932,000 feet in
Buffalo and 479,060,000 feet in the two Tona-
wandas. Both are considerably Jess than in
1897, partly on account of the cutting off of
Canadian lumber by the tariff, and partly on
account of the waking up to the need of stock
after the lake freights had gone up.

The firm of F. J. Underhill & Company is
in straits on account of a land deal, and has
but $2,000 to pay an indebtedness of $6,000.
The creditors are lumber dealers, who will
accept the offer rather than allow the firm to
go into bankruptcy and pay nothing.

The Buffalo Lumber Exchange will take a
general stock list this month. There will be
less than usual, as hardwood is very short, and
there is no extra in pine to make it up.

STOCKS AT LAKE SUPERIOR POINTS.

The shortage of bulk stocks of pine at mill
points on Lake Superior is one of the favorable
features of the lumber trade of the United
States. According to the Northwestern Lum-
berman, there’is about 56,000,000 feet on the
docks at Ashland, Bayfield and Washburn, of
which 16,500,000 feet is sold, and approxi-
mately 40,000,000 feet unsold. Thisis a much
smaller amount than was supposed to be on
the Chequamegan bay docks, but the figures
are claimed to be authentic.

The Duluth-Superior stocks show a decided
shortage as compared with those of last year.
The total amount of stocks on docks December
I was 120,000,000 feet, of which amount
73,000,000 feet was for sale. On December I
last year there was [25,000,000 feet on the
docks, 109,000,000 feet of which was for sale.
The amount of lumber manufactured by the
Duluth-Superior mills during the sawing season
of 1898 was 324,000,000 feet, while in 1897
the same mills cut only 290,000,000 feet. The

total amount shipped during the year ending -

December 1, 1898, was 333,000,000 feet, as
compared with shipments amounting to 283,-
000,000 feet for the same period in 1897.
Since December 1 there has been sold at
Duluth and Superior between 5,000,000 and
6,000,000 feet, thus reducing the total of unsold
stock to less than 58,000,000 feet. Norway is
the only stock at the Duluth-Superior mills
that shows an increase as compared with last
year, and that increase is the insignificant one
of 3,000,000 feet. The stock of No. 3 and No.
4 boards this year amounts to only a trifle over
15,000,000 feet, as compared with a total of
over 26,000,000 feet a year ago. This com-
prises all thicknesses from one to two inch.
The supply of No. 2 and better is a trifle under
40,000,000 feet, as compared with 63,000,000
feet on December 1 last year. All details
given above refer to unsold stock. =

Owing to the fact that a much lower rate of
freight is in effect by rail from Lake Superior
points than was the case a year ago, it is be-
lieved that a largely increased amount of stock
will be sent forward by rail this winter, so that
every indication points to a practical cleaning
up of dock stocks at Lake Superior points be-
fore any of the cut of next season is ready for
market.

SHIPPING MATTERS.

The ship Coringa and bark Louisa are
loading lumber at Yarmouth, N. S., for the
River Platte.

Owing to the change to be made in freight
rates on pulp wood by the Canadian railway
companies, the Niagara: Falls paper mills are
said to be perfecting plans whereby all this
class of freight will be handled by other roads.
The plan is to have the wood taken across
Lake Ontario to Charlotte or some other
advantageous lake port, and then shipped by
rail, either over the New York Central or thé
Rome, Watertown, and Ogdensburg Railways,
to Niagara Falls.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

The feature of the luuiber trade of the
past week has been the number of en-
guiries for stock of all kinds. Manufac-
turers and dealers alike agree that the
outlook for spring business is exception-
ally bright, and unless unforseen ob-
stacles arise, there is likely to be
an advance in lumber prices generally,
but particularly in low grade pine.
Stocks at the mills are lower than they
have been for years, and in no grades is
there a surplus. The scarcity of hard-
woods has perhaps resulted in a greater
consumption of hemlock ; in any case,
the market for that lumber seems to be
widening, and the mill men have suc-
ceeded in disposing of stocks which had
been accumulating for years. Shingles,
both pine and cedar, are scarce. The
supply of the latter is scarcely equal to
the demand, which is almost entirely of a
local character. Hardwoods remain firm,
although we would caution manufacturers
against a probable overproduction. With
a favorable winter, there is certain to be
taken out a large quantity of logs, and
unless discretion is used, prices are likely
to be affected.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

There is a quietness in lumber circles
in Quebec that is not easily understood.
For some reason, contracting for stock
for spring delivery is backward, and
manufacturers, some of whom are carry-
ing heavier stocks than last winter, are
not entirely satisfied with the outlook.
But now that the holiday season has
passed, we believe more life will be ex-
hibited. The condition of the trade in
New Brunswick during 1898 is shown by
the deal shipments from St. John, which
were 183,413,918 feet, as against 244,169,-
459 feet in the previous year. Within the
last two months, however, the outlook has
brightened. Many of the manufacturers
are Carrying over less stock than usual;
and are also operating very moderately in
the woods. This has produced a hope
that prices for all classes of lumber, ‘in-
cluding deals and shingles, will improve
in the spring. In Nova Scotia a light
production of logs was contemplated, and
this has been further reduced by unfayor-
able weather for logging operations.

UNITED STATES.

Reports from the lumber markets in
the United States are devoted largely to

reviewing the trade of 1898, which was,

on the whole, a satisfactory year. The
east revived late in the season to an un-

expected extent, and buyers entered the
market with a great eageiness to secure
stock. Wholesale dealers found that
their stocks were likely to become in:
adequate and sought to replenish them
but the prices asked at northern manu-
facturing points were considered beyond
their reach. Later they were compelled
to buy to some extent, meeting the situa-
tion by advancing wholesale prices. At
many of the wholesale distributing cities
stocks are badly broken. While at Buf-.
falo and Tonawanda the great scarcity
pertains to box lumber, yet of other -
grades of pine the supply is not ample:
The demand from the east is such as to
produce the hope that the spring require-
ment will be unusually large. Cousumers
have light stocks, and retailers are-by no
means oversupplied. Every class of
hardwoods is still enquired for, and there
is no likelihood, of the shortage being
relieved for some weeks at least. At
Buffalo there are no stocks of basswood
and elm, and ash, birch and maple are
sold as soon as they pass into the hands
of the wholesalers. Spruce seems to be
gaining ground steadily at Boston.
FOREIGN.

The condition of the timber market in
Great Britain at the close of the year was
satisfactory. The demand has continued
active, and there is a strong hope that the
spring trade will open up briskly. Some
contracts have been entered into for
Canadian deals and timber for spring
delivery, although buying has not been as
active as in some previous years. On the
east coast of England, where a considers
able quantity of spruce was placed in
1898, there appears to be an inclination
to wait, to ascertain the turn which prices
of Baltic whitewood willtake. At present
whitewood is selling at 45 5s per
standard, and spruce at an average of
46 15s. Should these prices rule for
spring goods, some believe that white-
wood will be given the preference, but
there is a possibility that Baltic white-
wood will be advanced in the near future,
to the advantage of spruce. There is a
good demand for red pine of good quality,
and if carefully manufactured, it is certain
to compete successfully with Baltic red-
wood. In pine deals the most urgent
demand seems to be for 11-inch stock of
first quality, which is in light supply at
Glasgow and some _ other importing
centres. Hardwoods are not in heavy
stock, and the demand is fair, Oak is
quoted at 2s 8d to 2s 1od per cubic foot
for 65 to 75 feet average, and ash is Steady
at 19d to 22d for 13 to 15 inch average.

II.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
The log production on the Nashwaak
river, in New Brunswick, this winter will
be about 30,000,000 feet.

The superintending engineer of the
Welland Canal desires tenders by January
17th for the annual supply of timber.

Messrs. Cockburn & Co., of Sturgeon
Falls, Ont., are cutting 4,000,000 feet of
logs this winter, to be sawn next summer.

During the year 1898 there were ex-
ported from St. John, N. B., forest
products to the value of $2,987,756,
against $3,938,379 for the year 1897.

Messrs. E. D. Davidson & Sons, Lim-
ited, of Bridgewater, N.S., expect to cut
during the coming season 10,c00,000 feet
of pine and spruce lumber.

The shipments of lumber from Nova
Scotia ports to trans-Atlantic countries in
1898 totalled 148,239,840 feet, a decrease of
about 40,000,000 feet as compared with
the previous year.

Messrs. J. T. Crawford, James Hunter
and A. G. Seaman, of Wiarton, Ont., are
now operating on the property recently
purchased from the Barrow Bay Lumber
Company, of Barrow Bay, Ont.

A Bangor, Maine, lumber dealer states
that he expects the market will open next
spring with a brisk demand, at prices
higher than those that prevailed at the
close of navigation. Random _ spruce
was then selling at from $13 to $15.

Messrs. D. & J. Hadden, of Foxmead,
Ont., have been given a contract to take
out and manufacture 1,000,000 feet of pine
for W. J. Lovering, of Coldwater, Ont.
Messrs. Hadden have also sold 200,000
feet of soft elm, to be sawn next summer.

Two timber berths, for which tenders
were recently invited, were disposed of
by the Ontario government a few days
ago. Six square miles in Hanmer town-
ship, northwest of Sudbury, were sold
to J. R. Booth, of Ottawa, for $15,000,
and a damaged berth, northeast of
Pogomasing, on the C. P. R., to Alexander
Barnet, of Renfrew, for $33,575.

At Fredericton, N. B., four timber
berths were sold last week as follows :
2% miles at mouth of East Branch of
Rockway river, to P. Momeault, at $8
per mile ; 2 miles on Mill Creek branch
of Petitcodiac river, to Albert Wood, at
same price ; two miles on northern side
of Cocaigne river, to Lockhart Lougher,
at $9 per mile; 434 miles at head of north
fork of north branch Charlo river, to
James Reid, at $156.

Messrs. Goodwin & Co., of Birmingham,
England, desire to receive quotations from
Canadian manufacturers for 200 gross
broom handles, 50 in. lony, 1% -1n. thick, de-
livered at Cardiff, South Wales. A white
handle, free from knots and imperfections,
is required. United States Consul Halstead
writes from Birmingham that there has
been a large sale of American broom
handles. He states that more could have
been disposed of if the ends had been
“turned in,” the favorite style for broom
handles in England.

KINDLY REPLY.

A number of lumber manufacturers, particu-
larly in Ontario, have not as yet responded to
our request for information regarding the trade
of the year 1898. The data, to be of service,
should be received immediately, and we ask
the favor of a reply-

RED PINE IN GREAT BRITAIN.

Concerning red pine, the Timber Trades
Journal says: The efforts to bring Canadian
red pine into competition with Baltic redwood
do not appear to meet with much success. The
want of classification and the limitation as to
lengths are the chief drawbacks. Wedrew the
attention of our Quebec friends to this subject
at the beginning of the season, when several
consignments of unsorted quality were shipped
to London and had to be realized at the public
sales. There is no reason, now that Baltic
deals are getting scarcer every year, why the
red pine deals from Quebec or neighboring
ports should not supply the want felt here of a
really sound, cheap, house building, 3x 9 and
11-inch deal.

The Birmingham correspondent of same
paper says: In Birmingham an_ increasing
quantity of Quebec red pine deals has been

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION

sold. They were sent over last year and again
this, and there is something to be said in their
favor. At the price of about £10 in Birming-
ham they took the place of Russian and
Swedish deals, and were sold freely. What a
pity it is that they are not classified. They are
rough, have large knots, but are fairly sound.
As joists, where they can be used whole, they
take the place of more costly deals, but why
do the shippers not classify them as mixed and
thirds, and sell them accordingly? Till this is
done there must be some disappointment ex-
perienced when they are offered for sale by
merchants.

THE BARBADOS MARKET.

Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Co. say of the
Barbados lumber market :

White Pine.—The arrivals have been the
Lewaniki, from St. John, N. B., with 73 M
shipping and 128 M 2nd quality, which was
placed at $22.25 and $16.25 respectively, and
the Victoria from Clyde river, with 47 M
shipping and 29 M ft. hemlock, which was
sold for St. Vincent at $22.25 and $15 re-
spectively. Demand has slackened off con-
siderably, and dealers anticipate some decline
in prices. In spruce, above vessel had a small
lot of 6 M shippers and 27 M 2nd quality,
which was sold at $18.03 and $13.67 respec-
tively ; and the Utility had a small quantity
cmall and narrow 2nd quality, which we sold
at $13. Stocks are quite moderate, and
unless receipts are free, or the price of 2nd
quality white pine declines considerably, fair
rates should rule.

Shingles. —The New Dominion arrived from
Pasbebiac, Que., to our address, on 15th
ultimo, with 680 M long Gaspe cedar, 590 M
of which we placed at $5.06, deck load and
inboard ; no allowance for retied ; the balance
90 M being of a little better quality, and
brighter, being all inboard, and also being a
small quantity, brought $4.40. The Duart
Castle brought 190 M, which were placed at
same rate, and she also had some cedar laying
for importers’ account. The only other arrival
of this latter description has been by the Le-
wanika, with about 400 M. previously con-
tracted for at $2, but considerably more.are
expected in fulfillment of contracts. Shooks.—
No arrivals have taken place, but we have
placed a small cargo of Portland, N.R., oak for
January shipment at $1.22.

LOGGING PROSPECTS AND PRICES.

Of logging prospects and prices of lumber in
the United aStates the American Lumber-
man says :

It is a fortunate thing for the lumber trade,
and indicative of the strong position occupied
by white pine, that prospects ofa heavy log in-
put during this winter cause no apprehensions
as to the strength of the lumber market during
the year. In this phase of the case there prob-
ably has been no parallel to the present situa-
tion, for in other years when prospects were as
bright as now the log crop and the lumber
product were both much larger thannow. The
white pine industry has come to the point
where the product will permanently be smaller
than the normal demand. If white pine were
to be had there is no apparent reason why the
iequirement for 1899 should not be as large as
for 1892, but there is not the supply there was
then and cannot be ; consequently the product
should all be marketed at firm prices. * * *
There is no question about the activity in log-
ging circles. Every jobber who can raise the
money to pay for supplies is at work, and
every manufacturing concern that does its own
logging 1s crowding things to the utmost. But
with all that can be done the crop will fall far
short of the banner years of the white pine
industry—is almost certain to lack 2,000,000, -
ooo feet of the record. Moreover, logging is
being conducted at a somewhat higher cost
than in a nun.ber of previous years. Early in
the season, before the mills closed down and
the laborers were entirely out of the harvest
fields, the preliminary woods work was done at
an extremely high price; but wages have
come down recently, until they are only a
moderate percentage in advance of those which
usually prevail. But, on the other hand, sup-
plies are higher than they have been for years.
The advance in bacon and the like adds a per-
ceptible amount to the cost of logs, while there
is a generally higher range of prices on logging
equipment.

These things mean that new logs will cost
more at the mills in 1899 than for a number of
years past, and will necessitate a higher aver-
age range of lumber values. This should sus-
tain the market even in lack of other strength-
ening influences, but such influences are not
lacking Every prospect is favorable for a
large, steady, and even insistent demand,
which, failing to be satisfied with light stocks
of lumber, will absorb the new crop practically
as fast as it shall be produced and ready for
shipment.

GLASGOW TRADE CONDITIONS.
In reviewing the timber trade of Glasgow
for the year 1898, Messrs. Calder, Henderson
& Livingston, in their annual circular, say :

The year ‘just closed has witnessed continued
activity in the timber trade.
heavy stocks on hand, and prices were in-
clined to weaken, but they firmed up in the
early summer, and have continued. firm until
now, with the exception of a short time about
the month of August, when the imports were
exceptionally heavy. There has been an ex-
cellent demand, and the amount of stock that
has gone into consumption is very satisfactory.
It seems impossible now to have a year go
past without some interruption to business, and
the branch to suffer this year has been that
dealing with furniture woods. Here the de-
mand has been much restricted through a strike
of the cabinet-makers, which has been going on
for about nine months and still continues. One
of the outstanding features of interest during
the year was the large import of American
spruce battens, which got a footing owing to
the high price of Baltic whitewood, and these,
having turned out very satisfactorily to import-
ers, are likely in the future to be strong com-
petitors with the latter, provided the price be
right. The rapidly increasing demand for
boards in place of log timber, especially in
white pine and Canary whitewood, is such as
ought to command the attention of shippers.
What is required in the former is an increase in
the average width, for which a corresponding
increase in value would be recognized.

The shipping industry has had an exceptional
period of activity, and the amount of work on
hand is such as to ensure a prosperous condition
of things throughout the coming year. During
the closing months of 1898, shipbuilders have
been large purchasers of teak, mahogany, pitch
pine, and long average waney board pine, and
the stock of the latter carried over by merchants
is comparatively small; considerable sales,
however, have already been made for shipment
during the coming spring by Quebec shippers.

BUSINESS NOTES.

John Coops & Sons, lumber dealers, Brook-
lyn, N.S., have dissolved partnership.

The lumbering firm of Joseph Martin &
Sons, at Harrison River, B. C., has been dis-
solved.

The Sutherland-Innes Company, of Chat-
ham, Ont., have leased a sawmill property at
Exeter, Ont., and intend manufacturing staves,
heading and lumber there.

Mr. Charles Neck has retired from the firm
of Churchill & Sim, wood agents, London,
Eng. The business will be continued by the
remaining partners under the former name.

The creditors of Joseph Matthew, lumber
dealer and general merchant, Sprucedale,
Ont., have accepted on offer of 80 cents on the
dollar. The liabilities amount to $7,000.

The Bay State Lumber Company has been
incorporated at Boston, Mass., witha capital
stock of $10,000. The W. H. Sawyer Lum-
ber Company has been incorporated at Wor-
cester, in same state, with a capital stock of
$50,000.

At Chicago there is much interest manifest
in northern hardwoods. Several good sales of
basswood and birch were made during the
holidays. Birch has a strong and urgent call,
and all the dry lumber of that kind that can be
scraped up in northern Wisconsin and Michi-
gan can readily be sold. The furniture manu-
facturers are calling for birch as never before,
and all that can be turned out during the winter
can be sold at prices better than ever before
were realized. Firsts and seconds by the car-
load are selling at $23 to $24 a thousand, and
common at about $16. Such prices are $2 to
$3 a thousand higher than a few months ago.
All northern hardwoods are selling well, and
prices at the mills are held so high that dealers
in this city hesitate to pay them. But they
may find that he who hesitates islost. Should

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.

ONTARIO,

While the quantity of lumber
which has changed hands since the
first of the year has not been large,
the number of inquiries received has
produced a strong feeling of hope
among the trade. Present in-
dications point to a large demand
for hemlock for repairing barns and
other cheap buildings ; the general
building outlook is good ; stocks at
the mills and in retail yards are light ;
prices show a tendency to advance.
These conditions are regarded
as favorable to the manufac-
turer. Not for many years has pine
lumber held a stronger position than
it does to-day, and this notwith-
standing the duty on United States
shipments. There isa marked degree
of strength surrounding the shingle
market, and the advance of last fall
has been maintained. At Toronto
XXX pine shingles, 16 inch, are
selling at $2.25, although an effort
is being made to obtain an advance
of five cents on this price. The
average price paid at the mill is
about $1.90.

Somewhat peculiar circumstances
surround the hardwood industry.
The competition in buying logs is
very keen in certain sections, par-
ticularly in western Ontario, and
exorbitant prices are being paid by
some mantfaucturers. Instances
have occurred where, in the desire
to secure a large stock of logs,
buyers have not exercised that
judgment which is essential to the
management of every successful
business. Just what the result of
this will be depends entirely upon
the course of the hardwood market.
If, from any cause, prices during
1899 should weaken, these mill men
who have paid excessive prices for
logs will certainly do business on
a very small margin of profit, if not

‘alized by buyers,

at an actual loss. Should present
prices be maintained throughout the
season, they may be able to show a
balance on the right side. The
season thus far has been against a
heavy production of hardwood logs.
A number of operators have logs on
the skids waiting for sufficient snow

for hauling, and unless. the balance

of the winter should be particularly
favorable, the contemplated input
will not be reached in many cases.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Wholesale dealers and manufac-
turers in Manitoba and the North-
west are experiencing the usual
winter quietude. Apart from a few
small orders for sorting-up purposes,
no business is doing. The market,
however, is firm, as there is every
indication of a continuance in 1899
of the prosperous conditions which
prevailed last ‘season. In anticipa-
tion of this, every effort is being put
forth this winter to secure a large
crop of logs. In British Columbia
trade is quiet, but there, as in Mani-
toba, the outlook is favorable. For
building purposes the lumber re-
quirement promises to belarge; the
box trade shows signs of reviving,
and the foreign demand is increas-
ing. It is expected that China will
furnish a greater outlet in the future
for British Columbia timber, and
that an increased quantity will be
placed in the British market, pro-
vided the cost of transportation can
be reduced.

UNITED STATES.

More lumber has changed hands
during the first two weeks of Janu-
ary than in any similar period for
several years past. A heavy move-
ment by rail from the mills indicates
broken assortments in wholesale
and retail yards, and there is a ten-
dency to further advance prices.
Since the close of navigation, low
grade stock at the head of the lakes
has been marked up 50 cents per
thousand. At Buffalo, Tonawanda,
Pittsburg and other eastern points
stocks of pine are expected to fall
short of the demand. This is re-
who have en-
deavored to augment their supplies.
The eastern spruce trade seems to
be gaining strength also. The
manufacturers at Boston and vicinity,
at a meeting held last week, agreed
upon another advance, which places
10 inch frames at S155 and ro to 12
inch at $16. The chief interest at

present centres around the hardwood
trade. There has been no abate-
ment in the consumption and conse-
quent demand, and consumers are
finding it difficult to obtain a suffi-
cient supply to meet their require-
ments until the new cut is available.

FOREIGN.

Circulars to hand review at some
length the timber trade of Great
Britain for the year 1898. There
were imported into the United
Kingdom during the year wood
goods to the value of 420,594,494,
against 422,978,842 in 1897. Al-
though the consumption was large
and the import less than in the
previous year, the stock of Canadian
timber of many classes is yet quite
heavy. Particulars of the Glasgow
market are given in another column.
At London the importation of pine
deals from the St. Lawrence was
1331,000 pieces, and of spruce
deals 3,866,000 pieces. Thesefigures
are considerably less than those for
the previous year. In New Bruns-
wick and Nova Scotia spruce, the
falling off is even more noticeable,
being 699,000 pieces in 1898, and
1,037,000 pieces in 1897. Of tim-
ber, elm, ash, oak and red pine
show a considerable increase. Elm
timber has advanced, 2s 4d being
paid for 50 cubic feet average.
Large white ash timber is wanted,
but smaller stock is plentiful. Red
pine deals have been much enquired
for and prices were firm throughout
the year. Spruce prices continue to
improve, and we understand that
contracts are being entered into for
spring delivery at a considerable

advance over late quotations. At
Manchester 2% inch by 7 inch

Spruce battens are wanted by builders
and wagon manufacturers. Some
inquiries have been made at Glas-
gow for spruce deals for spring
delivery, and the Caledonian Rail-
way Company are in the market for
their annual supply of wagon oak
planks, which amounts to over
100,000 cubic feet. Generally, the
market is considered firm.

A number of inquiries have been
received by British timber merchants
for battens and boards for export to
Spain. Now that this market is
improving, it should be possible for
Canadian exporters to secure a por-
tion of the trade. ‘The Australian
market is quiet, but it is believed
that more activity will be shown in
the near future.

Donald Fraser & Sons, of Fredericton, N.B.,
have just received a large order for box shooks
from Glasgow, Scotland.

Robert Moore has a gang of 300 men at
work in the woods near Loch Lomond, N.B.,
getting out logs for the Mispec pulp mill at St.
John.

The Departinent of Interior, Ottawa, desires
tenders by February 20th for a permit to cut
timber on Berth No. 834, in the district of Al-
berta, N. W.T.

John L. Peck, of Hillsboro, N. B., has pur-
chased the McRae property at Memel. Mr.
Peck expects to get out over 600,000 feet of
logs this winter.

R. McLean, of Kaslo, B.C., has lately re-
turned from a trip up the Kootenay river.
While absent he contracted for 2,000,000 feet
of logs for the Kootenay Lake saw mill.

The Snider Lumber Company, of Graven-
hurst, Ont., are taking out this winter, for
next season’s sawing, 4,500,000 feet of hem-
lock, 500,000 feet of pine, and 500,000 feet of
hardwood.

An Orillia exchange states that the Arthur
Hill Company, of Saginaw, Mich., have pur-
chased the timber limits of Doolittle & Cas-
well, of Orillia, the consideration being in the
neighborhood of $100,000.

It is expected that the present season will be
one of the best the lumbermen of Maine have
experienced in several years. The cut on the
Kennebec waters will be about 125,000,000
fect, an increase over that of 1897 of 24,000,000
eet.

Messrs. A. McPherson & Company, of
Longford Mills, Ont., have on hand about
1,300,000 feet of lumber at Ravensworth, and
1,700,000 feet at Longford Mills. The stock
_of shingles at these two points is 723 M and
2,000 M respectively.

The High Commissioner at London, Eng.,
has received a communication from a London
’ paper agent who desires to open up correspond-
ence with Canadian paper and pulp mills. He
has also received an inquiry from Dresden for
the names and addresses of exporters of wood
pulp.

At a recent auction sale held by Foy, Mor-
gan & Co., London, England, Canadian goods
sold as follows: Spruce, ex Carham, from
Quebec, 13-16 feet, 3x 9 inch, 4th quality, £6

. 155.3; 12 feet, 3x Q inch, £6 10s, Pine, ex
Hazelmoor, from Quebec, 16 feet, 3 x 1) inch,
Ist bright white, £18 Ios.

From Bangor, Maine, comes the report that
140,000,000 feet of logs will be cut on the
Penobscot waters this winter. This, with the

- 30,000,000 to 40,000,000 feet being wintered
over for early spring sawing, will give a stock
sufficient for all demands. It is anticipated
that there will be a considerable demand from
Porto Rica and Cuba for second growth pine,
known as shippers, as well as for spruce.

Concerning the Liverpool market, our con-
temporary, Timber, says: In harmony with
the general expectation, the sheet issued on the
31st December shows that the consumption
during December has been very good, being
considerably more in most lines than the cor-
responding month in last year, the two excep-
tions being birch and spruce deals. In Quebec
square and waney board pine the consumption
has been 65,000 feet, against 55,000 feet last
year, leaving the stock at 225,000 feet, a much
lighter stock than at the same period of last
year and 1896. In Canadian and United States

‘oak the consumption has been 156,000 feet,
against additions to stock of 130,000 feet, thus
reducing the stock by 26,000 feet during the
month. In spruce deals the consumption has
been 3,850 stds., as compared with the arrivals

- of 1,750 stds., and the stock is 14,950 stds.,
against 20,958 stds. last year. In pine deals
the consumption has been about the same as in
the corresponding month Jast year, but the im-
port has been several hundred standards in ex-
cess of last year, and the stock is heavy.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION

THE AUSTRALIAN LUMBER MARKET.

Messrs Fraser & Company, of Melbourne,
Australia, in their monthly report of the 15th
ultimo, say:

The demand has been fairly steady within
the past few weeks, and business has been
more or less arranged in mostly every class of
timber which is shipped to this market, none
of which is in short supply with the exception
of good Baltic red deals, and which have been
further dealt in ‘‘to arrive” at satisfactory
prices from a cargo now fully due. Last
valuations for other kinds have been about
maintained, though latterly a slight downward
tendency in prices has occurred 1n the descrip-
tions more generally consumed, but as the
trade are holders of fair stocks bought out of
previous shipments, there is no desire at the
moment to enter largely into further supplies
even at lower rates. Therefore it has been
necessary to place meanwhile into the storage
yards some proportion of the cargoes which
have arrived during the past four weeks. At
the close of the year, buyer’s operations are
not as a rule of an extensive character, but at
the opening of a new year considerable im-
provement in the demand is generally shown,
and as there is every prospect of a busy season
in all our productions during the next few
months, country inquiries will probably be on
the increase, and a material change for the
better both in respect to the volume of business
and values generally may be anticipated.

Spruce AND BALtic WHITE DEALS.—
Imports: 2,368,979 superficial feet. Ar
rivals: Gratia, from St. John; Bayard,
from Quebec ; Himalaya, from San Francisco.
Buyers are almost fully stocked for the
present, and efforts made to effect sales from
the above shipments have not yet been
successful. We quote 25d. to 2$d. per foot
of 9 x 3 as full market value. With supplies
“to arrive, ” stocks will be found ample to
meet all wants for some time to come.

OREGON Pine.—Imports: 2,569,961 feet
super. Arrivals: Veritas and Gladys, from
Chemainus, B. C.; Carrier Dove, from Puget
Sound. The above-named shipments per
Veritas and Carrier Dove have gone into the
yards of the importers ; but the cargo per
Gladys is being offered to the trade upon the
basis of £5 10s. per 1000 feet for an average
assortment of sizes, without, however, leading
to operations being concluded. The bulk of
the shipment is therefore being stored until
such time as buyer’s stocks are reduced to a
limit as will enable them to entertain further
purchases. After the New Year business in
Oregon is likely to be more active.

TIMBER TRADE OF THE CLYDE.

The yearly timber circular of Messrs. Edinis-
ton & Mitchell, Glasgow, Scotland, reviews
the timber trade of the Clyde at some length.
It shows that during 1898 the total import was
312,000 loads, a decrease of 25,000 loads as
compared with the previous year, while’ the
consumption increased in 1898 by 57,000 loads.
The circular says :

The import of white pine logs is again con-
siderably reduced, and every year the trade is
tending more and more towards the use of
sawn lumber, which has been largely imported,
cut to all thicknesses. Oak, elm, ash and red
pine are all somewhat in excess of recent years’
importation. In spruce the import has been
extremely large, and has exceeded that of 1897
(which wasa record year) by about 5,000 stand-
ards. This is largely owing to this commodity
taking the place of Baltic white pine. Not-
withstanding this, however, values have been
well maintained throughout the year.

WaneEY BoARDWooD.—Ist class—During
the early part of the year the inquiry was very
languid, but with the arrival of the fresh timber
a considerable demand sprung up, and some
large transactions took place. We are not
able, however, to report any advance in price,
and sellers, being eager to move their stocks
while there was some chance, have been con-
tent with very small margins of profit. Nine-
teen-inch wood has been sold at 2s. 6%d. to
2s. 734d., and 20-in. at 1d. more. The con-
sumption has exceeded the imports by 1,900
loads, and 30 per cent. of the stock is held by
consumers. 2nd class—A large percentage of
the remaining stock comes under this category,
and the market will take a long time yet to
recover from the overdose which it got three
years ago.

RED Prne.—The year began with no stock
on hand, and owing to our railway companies
being unable to secure their requirements in
this timber, they have been using substitutes,
with the result that sales have been somewhat
disappointing, and there are still 460 loads
available. The value of 48 to 50 cubic feet
average wood is 2s. Several shipments of sawn
logs brought from 12d. to 16d.

Oak.—The import has exceeded that of the
last two years by over 1,000 loads. The de-

mand, however, has been fair, and although
the stock carried forward to next year amounts
to 2,900 loads, half of this is held by consum-
ers. Timber to average 75 cubic feet per log
has been sold at 3s. Really good wood is not
too plentiful, but, on the other hand, all the
large buyers are well stocked.

ELM.—Throughout the year there has been
a steady demand for good timber, and, despite
an increased import, prices have advanced, and
as high as 2s. 4d. has been paid for 50 cubic
feet average. A large portion of the stock
carried to next year is of inferior quality.

BircH.—The import for the year from
Montreal and Quebec amounts to about 700
loads, and from the Lower Ports 850 loads.
Prices for Canadian logs have continued very
firm throughout the year at from 1s. 3d. for 14-
in. up to Is. 1od. for 18-in., but Lower Port
logs have been difficult to move at anything
over a penny aninch. The stock of Canadian
birch in first hands is small, but there is a con-
siderable quantity of Pictou wood on hand,
which unfortunately includes a large proportion
of inferior logs, making it difficult of disposal
unless at low prices. A fair business has been
done in planks, prices for which have ranged
from £6 to £8 per standard.

AsH.—The import amounts to about 1,400
loads, and consisted principally of small logs
averaging about 14-in. On the whole, prices
have been fairly steady at from ts. 6d. for
small wood up to Is. 10d. for 16-in., but the
consumption has been much interfered with by
the strike in the furniture trade. Large white
ash logs are wanted, but the stock of small stuff
is quite ample for probable requirements.

Quesec DeaLs.—The import of all kinds
from Montreal and Quebec has been about 30,-
ooo standards, being about 2,000 standards
over last year, and the consumption has. been
correspondingly good. Prices, however, have
not been favorable to the shipper, a drop hav-
ing taken place early in the year, which has
not been recovered since. They are, however,
firmer at the moment than in midsummer, and
the prospects being good, they should improve
a little before the advent of new supplies.
Current values have been as under: ist pine,
broads, £22 to £24; 11-inch, £20 10s. to
£22; non-dimensions, £15 10s. to £18 10s.;
ends, £15 to £18; strips, £12 10s. to £15.
Second pine.—Regulars, £16 to £18; non-
dimensions, £10 to £13. Third _pine.—
Broads, £10 to £11 ; I1-in., £9 10s. to £10;
narrows, £7 to 48; strips and ends, 26. 15S
to £7 10s. Fourth pine deals have been sold
as low as £6 3s. 9d. per standard for 11-inch
and £5 15s. for narrows, but sales lately have
been made at £7 and £6 per standard re-
spectively. Red pine deals have been scarce
throughout the year, and parcels arriving have
met with a ready market at fair prices, 9 and
L1-in. realising £9 to 410 10s., and narrower
sizes from £8 to £9 perstandard. Pine sidings
and boards have been done at 416 to £19 for
Ist quality of good breadihs, and £12 10s. to
£14 for narrows ; 3rd quality have been sold
at £7 10s. to £9 per standard, according to
specification.

Lower Port PINE AND SPRUCE DEALS.—
Imports of Lower Port pine and spruce are
about 20 per cent. over those of last year, being
about 22,000 standards spruce and about 5,000
standards pine. Prices have been fairly steady
all year, pine ranging from £5 Los. to £6 5s.
for narrows and 46 5s. to 47 for 11-inch;
and spruce, £6 to £6 7s. 6d, for 7-inch, £6
gs. to £6 15s. for 8-inch, and £6 (5s. to £7
gs. for 9 and 11-inch.

William Archer, carpenter and lumber
dealer, of Toronto, is announced to have
assigned to George Day. A meeting of credi-
tors is called for January 23rd.

The dissolution is announced of the firm of ~

S. Giilies & Son, who operated saw and plan-
ing mills at Ailsa Craig and London, Ont.,

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. ;
ONTARIO.

The present open winter 1s causing
operators in hardwood timber some
anxiety. In western Ontario there is not
sufficient snow for hauling purposes, and
unless winter weather, accompanied by
snow, should set in immediately and con-
tinue steadily for a couple of months, th
production of logs will be curtailed.
Should this prove to be the case, it will
have the result of reducing the lumber
supply, and therefore of maintaining the
strength of the market. With a favorable
logging season this winter, the crop of
hardwood logs would doubtless have been
large, but nature seems likely to prevent
the consummation of this probability. In
regard to prospective business the outlook
is very hopeful. Manufacturers report
numerous inquiries for both green and dry
stock. Consumers show a disposition to
secure themselves by contracting in ad-
vance of requirements, apparenily hiving
little hope that prices will be any lower.
There is a good demand for hemlock,
which seems likely to advance before
spring. A fair movement of pine lumber,
for local consumption, is reported. Some
of the lower grades have stiffened in price,
owing to the stock being scarce.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Lumber manufacturers in Quebec and
New Brunswick are looking forward to
the season of 1899 as likely to te more
prosperous than that of last year. The
market has been strengthened by the
position taken by the operators, who are
refusing to contract except at prices which
give a fair margin of profit. The quan-
tity of stock available for shipment is by
no means large, while the input of logs
will be,as previously stated, very much re-
duced. In many districts the winter has
so far been unfavorable for logging, owing
to the continued mild weather. As to
actual transactions, it is announced that
several mill cuts have been sold. For

spruce deals, delivered at St. John, $10.50
has been paid and $11 asked, and at other
ports $9.50 is the price reported. This is
a considerable advance upon last year’s
quotations, and it would seem as if the day
had passed for selling spruce deals at the
actual cost of production.
UNITED STATES.

If the reports received from certain dis-
tributing centres of the United States
reflect the general conditions of the coun-
try, the position of the iumber trade at the
present time is unusually strong. Even
in the absence of much demand for lum-
ber for building purposes, the trade of the
past week has been of considerable vol-
ume. Wholesale dealers and consumers
have been looking about for stocks, and
manifest a willingness to contract for
large supplies to be delivered during the
year. Were prices not held so firmly at
the mills, more buying would certainly
result, the tendency. being to wait until
the season is further advanced in the hope
that greater inducements to the buyer
will be offered. From indications, how-
ever, prices will not weaken before the
early summer at least, and some contend
that the present quotations will rule
throughout the year. Reports from New
York, Boston, Philadelphia and other
eastern points indicate low stocks of hard-
wood lumber, an urgent inquiry, and ad-
vancing prices. For basswood and birch
the demand is fully 25 per cent. greater
than it has been for several years. In the
south log hauling has been interfered
with by excessive rains, and the produc-
tion of lumber will be somewhat curtailed.
In the east the red cedar shingle market
is decidedly firm, and it has been possible
to obtain higher prices.

FOREIGN.

In foreign countries the buying season
has opened with the usual degree of ac-
tivity. In Great Britain there has been
considerable business done in wood goods
from Norway and Sweden, and prices
are,on the whole, firm. Some sales of
Canadian pine and spruce have been
made, and it is now generally believed
that the opening prices will be fully as
high as those of one year ago. Spruce
delas have improved of late, and num-
erous inquiries are in the market. Con-
cerning the situation as to wood goods,
the Timber Trades Journal says: ‘That
the large consumption here is fully ap-
preciated by the foreign shippers is evi-

‘denced by the elevation of free-on-board

prices, for which they have some justi-
fication in the eagerness of buyers to

secure stocks in the face of a largely in-
creased production. We ate more favor-
able to an advance than a fall in prices, as
a declining market would be almost a
calamity at the present time. On the
other hand, it is not our desire to encour-
age hopes of profits that may never come.
All we can say now is that the trade is full
of life and energy, and certain people who
have large stakes at issue will do their
utmost to keep prices from wavering.”
France and Belgium have purchased
battens and deals quite extensively, and
the market there is strong.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

McCall & Mason, of St. Williams, Ont.,
expect to take out this winter about 600,-
ooo feet of logs.

It is reported that J. D. Shier, of Brace-
bridge, Ont. has purchased a large limit
adjoining the township of Livingstone.

There is unusual activity in logging in
Emmet county, Mich. Elm timber, which
in former seasons sold at $6 per M., is
now selling at $8.

The Standard Oil Company is reported
to have made a considerable purchase of
lumber from W. C. Edwards & Company,
of New Edinburgh, Ont. The transaction
is said to represent over $30,000.

There will be cut this winter for the
McLean Estate mill, at Chipman, N.B.,
about 4,000,000 feet of logs. A. E. Alex-
ander, of Campbellton, will take out in the
neighborhood of 7,000,000 feet.

The manufacturers of packing boxes in
the New York district have formed a com-
bination for the purpose of advancing
prices. These manufacturers are among
the largest users of white pine box shooks.

“Hardwood dry stock in everything
except maple, says the American Lum-
berman, is very scarce at Grand Rapids,
Mich. There has been the marked ad-
vance of $5 per M. in white ash and
quarter sawed oak since last July, $1.
to $2. in elm, and 50 cents to $1 in
basswood.”

Figures are to hand showing the extent
of the importation of wood goods into
Great Britain during the year 1808.
There were imported in that year hewn
wood and timber to the value of £4,900,-
618; sawn, dressed and planed timber,
415,047,810 ; staves, £646,075, and ma-
hogany, £691,314.

John Edgington, of Edgington, Ont.,
writes that the stock of both lumber and
shingles in that vicinity is pretty well
cleaned out. During the season about
1,500,000 shingles were sold. There is
considerable work going on in the woods
in the neighborhood, and prospects are
considered good for spring business.

The American Lumberman states that
the mills at Cheboygan, Mich., will have
a full stock of logs for the coming season.
Pelton & Reed have cleared about 15,-
000,000 feet in the Georgian Bay district,
cut from Indian reserve lands. McArthur

eee

Bros. are lumbering on the Beaverstone
river, where they expect to take out 8,000,-
ooo feet.

M. N. Conlin, of St. Joseph, Ont., is
getting out 1,000,000 feet of logs.

Some fitty shanty teams were last week
sent from Ottawa to Gilmour & Company’s
limits at Canoe Lake. The present sea-
son has been favorable for hauling logs,
there being plenty of snow in the woods.

For the last quarter of the year 1898 the
New Brunswick lumber shipped from St.
Jobn to the United States was valued at
$53,784.89 while the quantity of Maine
lumber sawn by St. John mills and shipped
to the United States was valued at $156,-
670.38. In the last quarter of 1897 New
Brunswick lumber represenied $83,688.05,
and the Maine product $179,568.72.

At ameeting of m:anufacturers of spruce
lumber held at Boston, Mass., on January
3rd, it was agreed to adhere to the follow-
ing prices: Frames, 9 inches and under,
$15 ; 10 and 12-inch dimension, $16 ; I0-
inch random lengths, $15; 2x 3, 2x4 and
3x 4 random lengths, $13; 2x5, 2x6 and
2x7 random lengths, $13.50; all other
random lengths, 9 inches and under,
$14.50; 156-inch laths, $2.15; 1/4-inch
laths, $2; 6-inch and up merchantable
boards, 1o feet and up, p.i.s., $12.50;
5-inch and up, out boards, p.is., $10 ;
bundled furring, p.i.s., $12.50; planing
one side, 50c.; planing two sides, $1 ;
planing 3 or 4 sides, $1.50; planing one
side and grooved, $1 ; planing one or two
sides and matched, $1; splines, $1. These
prices are based on Boston rate of freight
terms (one per cent. discount for cash on
net in fifteen days from date of invoice)
or not to exceed sixty days.

EASTERN PRICE SITUATION.

It is a gratifymg fact that not only has
the volume of the eastern trade revived
somewhat in fact and more in promise,
but that prices, which for a long time were
weak, have been put on what may be as-
sumed to be a profitable basis, and give
promise of a still further advance in the
near futnre as the spring trade shall open
np. This betterment in values, says the
American Lumberman, is felt all through
the eastern territory from Delaware and
Pennsylvannia to Maine.

In New England proper, and especially
in the northern part of it, where genuine
winter is pretty sure to prevail for three
months to come, there is not much current
demand, though there isa larger require-
ment than for several years past at this
season. But there is a buoyant tone to
the market anda general anticipation of a
goad business year, which is encouraging.
Particularly is this the case in the manu-
facturing towns outside of Boston. The
textile industries are expected to be in a
prosperous condition, which will warrant
considerable expansion of town and
village building. It is too early in the
year to expect very marked indications as
to what is to be expected later on, but
already around New York there is a con-
siderable amount of building under way.
In a great many of the suburban towns,
and particularly along the seashore, a
heavy amount of construction is being
done to be ready by Mayt. The indus-
trial activity which is most noticeable in
the iron districts is the prominent feature
in many portions of Pennsylvania and
New York, so that altogether the eastern
trade seems well justified in its anticipa-
tion of aheavy requirement for the year
and in believing that the recent advances
in price are to be maintained and others
instituted.

Every variety of wood is sharing in the
improvement. Spruce is upa dollar or
two in New England and New York, with
some dimension showing a greater ad-
vance. Hemlock, which, strange as it
may seem, has been selling in the east at
lower prices than west of the Alleghanies,
has also advanced, while the record as to
white, yellow and North Carolina pine is
well known. It seems, therefore, that
lumbermen may count safely upon not
only a firm market such as has been ex-
perienced in the last few months, but on
still further price advances, which will put
the industry on a profitable basis.

CANADIAN TIMBER IN LIVERPOOL.

Messrs. Smith & Tyrer, wood agents, Glas-
gow, Scotland, in their annual wood circular,
refer to Canadian woods as follows :

SPRUCE DEaLs.—The heavy stock and low
prices which existed at the commencement of
the year, in the regular markets, has given
place to a gradually improved position, the
stock now being 15,156 standards, against
20,053 standards at the end of 1897, in this
market, while in other markets the position is
still better. Prices have improved fully 10p
per standard. The extensive shipments to the
east coast and continent, thus opening up new
markets, while they helped greatly to maintain
values, were looked upon very doubtfully ; but
the quality and manufacture has proved much
more satisfactory than was anticipated, and this
outlet will be a permanent one. One excellent
result is that it has shown the producers that
this wood is capable of better things than has
been displayed in the past, and they are begin-
ning to take more pride and care in their pro-
ductions. We hail this tendency with very
much satisfaction, because we advocate strongly
the principle that each production should be
known for its individual merits, and not classi-
fied with all shipments from the same port. The
output of logs during the winter is expected to
show a certain reduction as against that of last
winter, and, so far, in many districts the season
has not been a satisfactory one for logging
purposes. The stocks at the shipping ports
are smaller than last year, and not excessive.
An improved demand is expected from the
United States and West Indies, and, perhaps,
also from the South American ports,

OTHER CANADIAN Woops.—White Pine
Deals, &c., have been imported largely, and
the stock is 19,602 standards, against 17,729
standards in 1897. Inferior qualities have been
difficult to place, and low figures have at times
been accepted. Canadian tin-ber has gone
well into consumption, and the stocks are
moderate. Red Pine Deals have been im-
ported more largely than during several years
past, but a good consumption is maintained,
and opening prices show an improvement upon
those of last year. Birch has been difficult to
place, and planks have changed hands in some
instances at extremely low prices, which have
necessarily left a considerable loss to the
shippers.

The prices current at Liverpool on
of January were as follows :

SHIPPING MATTERS.

Coastwise freights have weakened slightly of
late. Itis reported that the rate on lumber
from St. John, N.B., to New York has dropped
from $3.50 to $3.

Free operations in sale tonnage are held in
check by the reserve offerings of vessels. From
Montreal comes the report that orders are in
the market for the various trades and shippers
in most instances are prepared to meet current
rates, but the supply of vessels is limited and
business is restricted in consequence.

BUSINESS NOTES.

The firm of Joseph Martin & Sons, lumber-
men, Harriston, B.C., has been dissolved.

A portion of the assets of W. I. Storey,
lumber dealer, Ottawa, were sold last week.

The Sheppard Lumber Company, of
Orillia, Ont., has obtained charter of incor-
poration.

Callim & McDonough, lumber dealers, Rus-
sell, Man., are announced to have assigned to
Charles Burley.

The sash and door factory of Phaneuf &
Dore, at Outremont, Que., was destroyed by
fire last week. The building and a greater
part of the machinery are a complete loss.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

The last week of January witnessed
more activity in the lumber business than
the preceding weeks of the month. Some
quite large sales of pine were
made, particularly in the Ottawa valley,
where it issaid manufacturers have con-
tracted for a considerable proportion of
the coming season’s production. In an-
ticipation of a good year, wholesale
dealers and exporters are buying liberally,
and this fact may induce manufacturers
to increase their operations in the woods
beyond what was originally intended.
Within the past fortnight several gangs
of men have been sent to the logging
districts. Theconditions on the Georgian
Bay are somewhat similar. Although in
southern Ontario there has been a lack of
snow for logging, in the Muskoka and
northern districts this difficulty has not
been met with.

It is yet too early to estimate the extent
of building operations in 1899, but the
amouut of work already arranged for
produces a strong hope of a busy season.
There will probably be more building in
country districts than last year, when it
was of considerable volume.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Manufacturers of spruce lumber are
holding quotations reasonably high, and
consequently shippers have not contract-
ed very heavily. The low prices at which
stock was purchased last year are being
used by buyers to secure better terms for
the coming season’s stock ; but manufac-
turers seem to have resolved to make a
fair margin of profit or cease business.
The highest price yet paid at St. John for
spruce lumber for spring delivery is $9.75,
which is about $1.50 higher than the aver-
age price last year. In shipping circles
there is not much doing ; the rate on lum-
ber to New York, from St. John, is lower,
being $3.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,

The lumbermen of Manitoba are pre-
paring for the annual convention which
takes place next week, and at which the at-
tendance promises to be unusually large.
There is some movement of lumber at the
present time, although it cannot be said

that spring trade has yet commenced. As
building prospects are particularly bright,
retailers will no doubt increase their
stocks materially in the near future. In
British Columbia the lumber trade is
without any special feature, although the
era of low prices is probably at an end,
owing largely to the scarcity of logs.
The foreign trade is quite brisk, and
several vessels are loading.

UNITED STATES,

The past week has been one of conven-
tions, and consequently lumbermen have
not devoted the usual attention to the
getting of business. Transactions have
been on a moderate scale, and have been
confined largely to immediate require-
ments. Prospects, however, are of an
encouraging character, and unless all
signs should fail, there will be a brisk
lumber trade in 1899. Eastern whole-
sale dealers report numerous inquiries for
quantities of different grades for spring
delivery, which would seem to indicate
that consumers anticipate higher prices in
the near future. There is an excessive
demand for box lumber, which is in short
supply and likely to further advance.
Manufacturers generally are firm in their
asking prices, and wholesale dealers are
not inclined to contract for stock at the
quotations given them. These remarks

apply particularly to white pine. Hem-

lock lumber has made an all-round ad-
vance of 50 cents per thousand feet.

Hardwood stocks continue to be bought
upclose to the saw. In Michigan soft
and rock elm are bringing prices from
$4 to $6 higher than those which ruled
two years ago. Even beech, which has
been considered an unsaleable lumber,
finds a ready market.

It is claimed that at northern mill
points there is a pronounced shortage of
lath, and sellers are asking $1.65 per
thousand for white pine. Shingles are
demanding some attention, and show no
weakening in price.

FOREIGN.

British timber importers are contracting
for goods for spring delivery only in a
moderate way, as they believe that ship-
pers’ asking prices are higher than the
conditions warrant. It must be remem-
bered, however, that stocks in the British
market are lighter than those of one year
ago, while the production of Canadian
lumber is likely to be curtailed during the
coming season. There is also the fact
that prices of spruce, red pine, and sev-
eral classes*of timber are strengthening.

At London 3 x 11 and 3 x9 3rd spruce are
selling privately at £7 7s 6d per standard,
although similar goods can be purchased
at auction at 5s below these figures. Last
year spruce found its way into new fields,
and consumers are said to be willing to
again contract for a supply. Looking at
all the conditions surrounding the spruce
market, there would seem to be reason to
expect advanced prices and a good season
in 1899.

The conditions of the lumber trade in
France are about normal. It is expected
that there will be a large consumption of
wood during 1899, and that red pine will
be maintained at higher prices. White
pine joists, timber joists and hardwood
also show signs of strengthening.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
Thomas Myles’ Sons, Hamilton, Ont.,
want I50 pieces 12x12, 30 feet, sound
white pine timber,

J. E. Harroun & Son, of Watertown,
N.Y., want good white pine mill culls, 1%
inch, resawed for large boxes.

R. & T. Ritchie, of Aylmer, Que., have
contracted to supply the Metropolitan
Electric Company, of Ottawa, with poles,

The Metropolitan Railway Company, of
Toronto, are taking tenders for the supply
of 65,000 cedar ties, 1,000 cedar telegraph
poles and 300 cedar trolley poles.

During the season of 1898 Messrs. E.
I. White & Son, of Sand River, N.S.,
shipped to American ports 78 cargoes of
piles and spars, aggregating about 55,000
pieces.

The Exploits Lumber Company, of Bot-
woodville, Nfld., will cut 10,000,000 feet
of white pine lumber next summer, 5,000,-
000 feet of logs being now in the river.
The manager of this company is George
A. Fowler.

George Upham, of Fredericton, N.B.,
returned recently from the lumber camps
on the Tobique river. He estimates the
cut on that river this winter at 18,000,000
feet, a decrease of 7,000,000 feet as com-
pared with last winter. Mr. Upham has
contracted for all of Senator Baird’s logs,
about 1,500,000 feet.

At the annual meeting of the share-
holders of the Rat Portage Lumber Com-
pany, it was stated by the manager that
the compary had over 600 men cutting
logs in the woods. Some 50,000,000 feet
will be taken out, which, with the stock
now on hand, will give a good supply for
next season’s sawing.

The annual report of the Board of
Trade of Montreal gives the following
statement of forest products exported from
that port during the year 1898: Ashes,
pot and pearl, $35,321 ; logs, pine, $150;
logs, all other, $836 ; lumber, $5,574,114 ;
timber, square, $126,599 ; other articles,

was 304,000,000 feet. This is the smallest
output on the river since 1866, when it
amounted to 309,000,000 feet. There were
rafted to Michigan from the Georgian Bay
district 238,843,624 feet, nearly all of
which went to the Saginaw river.

C. Desmairais, of Hull, has secured
from the Bell Telephone Company a con-
tract to furnish 2,000 cedar poles.

The Bradley-Myles Lumber Company,
of Hamilton, Ont., have received an order
to supply the British Admiralty with 100
car-loads of oak dimension timber, for use
in the ironclads. The stock will be de-
livered at Liverpool early in the spring.

The Rat Portage Lumber Company
have purchased the stock of lumber of the
estate of Graham Horne & Company, of
Fort William. This company have ar-
ranged with Graham, Horne & Co. to
carry on the business in Fort William,
which will be conducted under the same
management as it has been for the past
twenty-one years.

Henry Hibson, of the firm of Hibson,
Briggs & Cooper, lumber merchants,
Saginaw, Mich., is making a tour of the
Ottawa valley for the purpose of buying a
quantity of lumber. He states that Cana-
dian white ash and basswood are in great
demand by the lumber dealers of Michi-
gan, chiefly for making furniture and
inside finishing.

Seven timber berths were sold at the
Crown Lands’ office, Fredericton, N.
B., last week, as follows : 334 square mile
block on White’s brook, Restigouche
county, to Wm. Currie, at $151 per mile ;
2% mile berth on Nash’s creek, Resti-
gouche, to Nathanial McNair, at $18 per
mile ; 5% mile brook on Nictor lake, to
T. B. Winslow, at $1.10 per mile ; two 9
mile and one 43 mile berth on White’s
creek, Restigouche, to Wm. Richards, at
upset price; 2 mile berth on Ten Mile
creek, St. John county, to J. E. Moore,
at upset price.

Alliston Cushing, of St. John, N.B.,
returned recently from California, where
he has been interested in quartz mines. It
will be remembered that Mr. Cushing had
the contract last year to furnish 8,000,000
feet of logs to Jerneagan & Fisher for the
Electrolytic Marine Salts Company, at
North Lubec. He had landed more than
half of that quantity when the bubble
broke, leaving him in a fair way to lose
about $20,000 by the transaction. He,
however, purchased all the logs and lum-
ber in the plant No. 2, then partly con-
structed, and now has a sawmill at work
converting the logs into lumber.

In Northwestern Ontario the winter
has been very favorable for bush work, and
a good deal of work is going on. The
North Shore Timber Company, of which
Jas. Whaien is manager, is getting out
about 25,000 cords of pulp wood at Nepi-
gon; Vigars & Co. are taking out a good
stock of logs for their Port Arthur mull ;
Alger, Smith & Co., who are operating
extensively on limits 2 and 3, Pigeon
river, are through their cutting, and haul-
ing is progressing satisfactorily; while a
large quantity of timber and ties is being
taken out along the line of the new On-
tario & Rainy River railway for use in
the construction of that road. Graham,
Horne & Co. are also getting out a large
quantity of cedar culvert timber for the
C.P.R. Work is plenty, and demand and
wages for men are both good.

OUTLOOK FOR CANADIAN TIMBER.

Reviewing the lumber market, the Timber
Trades Journal, of London, Eng., says :—
The quantity of timber and deals which con-
tinues to be taken into consumption is somewhat
surprising, considering that we are supposed to
be in the middle of the most inclement month
of the year. Last January similar weather
conditions prevailed, and the deliveries of the
first two weeks of the respective years very
nearly tally, with a slight advantage to the
present one, but only in goods taken from
ship’s side. In nearly all the districts which
receive their supplies grom the docks and yards
of the metropolis, building operations are on
the same extended scale that has marked the
course of the previous year. It is something
new to find spruce prices improving coincident
with a declining market for Baltic whitewood.

The shippers are lamenting over the difficulty
of getting the prices of Swedish and other
north of Europe productions back to their
former high standpoint, but they have no
sympathisers on this side. The forests of Can-
ada can supply all that our markets here re-
quire, and colonial shippers have only to ad-
just the lengths of the spruce cut to suit the de-
mand to take a much larger share of the white-
wood trade from their north of Europe com-
petitors. The major portions of the arguments
used in favor of the merits of Baltic white, are
founded on old fashioned prejudices, and it is
plain from the stiffening of spruce prices that
those who substituted spruce last year, on
account Of its cheapness, are ready to try the
experiment again. Spruce is a most durable
wood under many conditions, and now that it
is being shipped in batten dimensions, if sup-
plied in 6 to 26 feet lengths, would answer all
the purposes of trade.

We have aliuded before to the Canadian red
pine, of which there is plenty to be had in the
forests abroad. This is another building wood
that seems to be unappreciated amongst the
trade here, but only requires some alteration in
the specification to bring it more under notice.
4, 3, 9 and 11 inch widths in good sound wood
are scarce here, and likely to remain so, the
tendency of the Baltic trade being toward the
smaller dimensions.

The pine market is quiet, and the business
done is not satisfactory as far as prices go. In
wholesale lines the top price for best bright
seasoned regulars is £26, but we hear that the
Quebec firms are expecting to get an advance
on last years figures for the winter cut leading
stocks. There does not appear to be nearly as
much life now in this particular branch of the
wood trade as formerly existed—at least in the
London market. The enormous quantity of im-
ported ready-made stuff, in the shape of doors
and mouldings, in addition to the extension of the
planed deals from the Swedish mills, may have
had some exercising influence on the consump-
tion of Canadian pine. At any rate, the prices
now obtainable here, considering the high free-
on-board cost and freight, are not sufficiently
remunerative to encourage large importations
in the legitimate way, and we fear all but the
primest kinds of their class will be sent to
market for shipper’s account.

WHITE PINE STOCKS.

Statistics were published in a recent issue of
the American Lumberman showing the pro-
duction of lumber in 1898 and the stock on
hand at the close of the year. Commenting
thereon, this journal says :

While the product of the year was 78,000,-
000 feet less than that of the previous year, the
stock on hand at the close of the season. show-
ed a much greater decrease than this, for the
total stock reported from all the white pine and
hemlock mills in Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota, along the Mississippi river and on
Lake Erie, was but 3,494,739,000 feet, against
3,815,558,000 feet at the close of 1897; a de-
crease of 321,000,000 feet. Thus the stock on
hand has been decreasing in much more rapid
ratio than the product, testifying to the sub-
stantial character of the year’s business and its
improvement over 1897, good as the latter
part of that year was.

But the figures on mill stocks do not tell the
whole story. The stock on hand at wholesale
points must be taken into consideration and in
regard to that branch of the subject complete
statistics are lacking. From some of the
markets there are available and reliable reports.
At Chicago there was quite a heave decrease in
stock considering the volume carried—a little
less than 10 percent. Most other markets of
importance show similar figures with a decrease
in some of them even greater than in Chicago.
But the wholesale markets alone are not
sufficient to gain an accurate view of the gen-
eral situation. The stocks on hand in retail
yards and in the hands of heavy consumers
must be considered.

The general impression is that stocks in the
hands of retailers are lighter than ordinarily at
this season. While there was some retailers
who last fall bought quite heavily, particularly
early in the fall, or in the late summer before
the September advance in prices, most of the
stock was pretty well exhausted by the end of
the year and it is believed that the amount
available for the winter’s trade is light.

DUTY ON SPRUCE LUMBER.

A cablegram has been received by the De-
partment of Trade and Commerce at Ottawa
from Commercial Agent Rennie, at Buenos
Ayres, stating that on representations of the
Dominion Government the duty upon spruce
lumber had been reduced by the Government
of Argentina by $2.40 per thousand. Large
quantities of spruce lumber are annually shipped
from Canada to the Argentine Republic, the
Maritime Provinces and British Columbia be-
ing the principal exporters. In September last
the duty was increased by 10 per cent., but as
a result of Mr. Rennie’s good work the duty is
now less than it was six months ago.

BUSINESS NOTES.

The Burrill Lumber Company, of Forest-
dale, Que., has obtained a charter of incorpot-
ation.

The Sheppard Lumber Company, of Orillia,
Ont., has been incorporated, with a capital
stock of $85,000.

The Johnston-Ford Lumber Company, of

Ahmic Harbor, Ont., is reported to have as-
signed to J. C. Ford.

SHIPPING MATTERS.
The schooner Arthur N. Gibson has been
chatered to load lumber at Apalachicola for
Halifax at $7.00.

Chartering is somewhat quiet, and a weak-
ness in the market has developed. Two ves-
sels have been chartered for first open water
from Montreal to London, at 43s. 9d. From
the St. John district tonnage is offering at 43s.
gd., but charterers are diffident in offering
more than 42s 6d.

The planing mill of Matthew’s Bros. &
Company, on Dundas street, Toronto, was
destroyed by fire on Thursday last. Some
lumber was also burned.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

In all branches of the lumber trade
business is quite as brisk as could reasor-
ably be expected at this season of the
year, when the spring movement cannot
be said to have commenced. As to pros-
pective trade, pine and hardwood manu-
facturers agree that the outlook is brighter
than it has been for a number of years.
Stocks of pine lumber are light,
prices advancing, and enquiries numer-
ous. Again this year there is likely to
be a large local consumption of the lower
grades of lumber, one of the Conditions
of vital importance to manufacturers.
There would be a larger volume of trade
in hardwoods if dry stock could be
obtained. Consumers are showing a dis-
position to contract in advance of require-
ments, apparently fearing a scarcity of
hardwood lumber owing to unfavorable
weather for getting out logs.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

As a result of the improvement in the
Eastern States, lumbermen in Quebec and
New Brunswick are more hopeful of a
satisfactory year’s business. The Ameri-
can lumbermen with mills at St. John, as
well as those in the Eastern States,
are finding the home market much better,
and consequently will pay less attention to
export trade. These conditions are
favorable to the Canadian producers of
spruce. Logging in the Maritime pro-
vinces has been retarded on account of in-
sufficient snow, and along the St. John
river and in sections of Nova Scotia work
was discontinued by a few operators. A
recent snow-fall, however, has improved
conditions somewhat. On the St. John
river the production of logs will be less
than last year by perhaps 25 percent: In
view of the light production, it is likely
that all the lumber manufactured in 1899
will find a market at a reasonable price.
Freight rates during the year are likely
to be easier on account of the increase

in tonnage.
UNITED STATES.

From the leading wholesale centres in
the United States there comes the report

of a satisfactory volume of trade and an
unusual number of inquiries. Stocks have
become greatly reduced, and dealers are
looking round to replenish their supplies.
This can only be done by paying the
increased prices which are now asked by
manufacturers. In order to meet this con-
dition, it will be necessary to advance the
price of lumber to consumers, and this is
a step that will certainly be taken. On
the Duluth docks there are only 15,000,000
feet of unsold lumber, against 125,000,000
feet one year ago. Practically all the
No. 3 and No. 4 and mill culls have been
sold, and contracts are being entered into
for lumber to be cut next season. There
has been no falling off in the demand for
box lumber, and the eastern trade is buy-
ing up stocks wherever they can be
found. A steady improvement has char-
acterized the spruce market of late.
While quotations are yet unchanged, it
is thought that they cannot long remain
at the present basis. The scarcity of
hardwood lumber is making it extremely
difficult to fill orders, dry stocks being
nearly exhausted. Thick white ash has
been bought up by the manufacturers of
agricultural implements, and is advancing
in price.

FOREIGN.

While the lumber market in Great
Britain is regarded as showing no signs of
weakness, it cannot be said that buying is
being carried on vigorously. Canadian
shippers have visited the principal mar-
kets, but just what business has been done
has not yet transpired. The shippers are
asking firm prices, which it is thought has
had the effect of making buyers less will-
ing to close than they were last year. A
noticeable feature of the market is the
good demand for spruce, and we would
not be surprised if a substantial advance
in the price of this lumber was made in
the near future. It is competing favor-
ably with Baltic whitewood for many pur-
poses, particularly in deal and batten
sizes, but is not generally liked for floor-
ing. At West Hartlepool first and second
pine deals are in light supply, but there is
a fair stock of third pine. Shippers of red
pine are asking high prices, but as yet
very little stock has been contracted for.
The present asking prices are about equal
to those for the Swedish production, and
it is frequently a question by consumers
as to which will be given the preference.

The French and German markets are
said to be improving, and better prices
are being obtained. Spruce is growing in
popularity in France, and it is expected

that a considerable quantity will be placed
on that market this year.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

The city council of Winnipeg, Man., in-
vites tenders up to February 15th for the
supply of from 1,000 to 2,000 cords of
cedar paving wood.

S. A. Marks has made an estimate of
the pulp wood on the Mississauga and
Blind rivers, in Algoma. He figures that
there are 8,000 cords.

The ship Coringa sailed from Yarmouth,
N.S., last week for Buenos Ayres, with
I,!01,000 feet of lumber, the largest cargo
that ever cleared from that port.

Taylor & Hill, of Dartmouth,
N.S., have about 60 men employed in the
woods getting out logs. They will oper-
ate a portable mill during the coming
season.

Geo. Sutherland, of Welland, Ont., is in
the market for 500,000 feet of elm and
basswood, 300,000 feet of white oak, I0o,-
ooo feet of red oak, and 100,000 feet of
pine, to be delivered on bank of canal
feeder, Chippawa creek, and Niagara
river.

W. J. Bryce, Toronto, wants 2,100 pieces
of flated timber, either elm, hemlock,
tamarac or cedar, to square ten inches at
small end, sixteen feet long ; also two
hundred thousand feet, ten by ten, sawn,
twelve to twenty-two feet.

A report from Minneapolis states that
dry elm staves are very scarce. Dealers
are asking $7 per thousand, and but few
purchases can be made at a less figure,
There is but little movement in heading,
although the market is strong at from 4%
to 43% cents. Dry elm hoops are scarce,
and range in price from $6.50 to $6.60.

The following timber berths were sold
at the Crown Lands office, Fredericton, N.
B., last week: 3-mile berth at Young’s
brook, branch of McCallum’s brook, to
Alex. Gibson, at $270 per mile; 3-mile
berth at east branch of Christopher’s
brook, and 4%-mile berth on Gordan’s
brook, branch of the Popelogan, to Wm.
Currie, of Eel River, at upset price of $8
per mile ; 3 square miles, west of Bay du
Vin river, to the Maritime Sulphite Co., at
$8.50 per mile.

A timber berth on an Indian reserva-
tion in the Georgian Bay district is re-
ported to have been purchased bythe Sagi-
naw Lumber & Salt Company, the
deal representing an investment of
about $70,000. Some 10,000,000 feet of
logs are being put in this winter. Pelton
& Reid, of Cheboygan, have also pur-
chased 15,000,000 feet of Indian logs in
the Georgian Bay district, which are being
put in this winter, and will be rafted to
Cheboygan next season. The Central
Lumber Company, of Saginaw, is lumber-
ing on Blind river, Ont. The St. Anthony
Lumber Company is putting in about
45,000,000 feet of logs at Whitney,
and the Arthur Hill Company 20,-
000,000 feet at Midland. There was a
quantity of Canadian logs cut by Ameri-

It.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

can lumbermen last winter, which were
hung up, and these do not come under the
prohibitory act which went into effect on
April last.

At Saginaw, Mich., all kinds of lumber
are said to be short of the requirements.
Mill culls sell at $8, box lumber at $1o
and 11, Norway at $9 and $10, and log
run at $13 to $18.

The most active demand for lumber in
the Northern States pertains to birch,
which the furniture manufacturers are
using in place of quarter sawed oak. ~- The
call for birch has become so great that
the supply of dry lumber is nearly ex-
hausted. Prices of firsts and seconds
range from $22 to $25 a thousand. The
demand for common and cull basswood
is in excess of the supply, and the market
in respect to-maple is rapidly gaining in
strength.

BUFFALO AND TONAWANDA.

[Correspondence of the CanaDA LUMBERMAN. ]

There is something like the usual winter
quietness in the sale of pine lumber, though
the price is strong and likely to remain so, on
account of the activity in the east. Eastern
dealers have lost money by not laying in a
_ stock sooner, and now that the more wide-
awake seaboard dealers are alive to the situa-
tion, andare trying to buy on contract, our
dealers refuse to sell on time. It is felt by all
that there is more money in lumber than in
long-time sales. This conclusion is the more
plain from the fact thet one or two dealers have
been caught in that way and are being held up
as a terrible example.

The rush is in hardwood. If there is a yard
anywhere that has a lot of thick white ash in it,
the fact has not been made known to the man-
ufacturers of agricultural machinery. They
have all been through this market and taken at
sight everything in that line that they could
possibly use. There was never such a demand
for this class of machinery. The Johnston
Harvester Works at Satavia have a force of 600
men, which is 50 more than it ever had before,
and are working overtime at that. The same
report comes from the Osborne Works at Au-
burn. The Wagner car shops in Buffalo have
lately put in electric lights, so that a night gang
can be set to work.

The shortage of cars has never been more
marked than now. All car and locomotive
works are on full time, and shippers are com-
plaining all along the line that they cannot get
cars enough to do their business. There is no
prospect of anything but a rush of all sorts of
business the coming season. Buffalo will profit
doubly from this time on, as the Pan-American
exposition is regarded by all as a certainty.
Over a million dollars was subscribed for it in
a week, and the amount is now past the $1,-
300,000 mark, when the million was all the
promoters set out to raise. It is believed that
another million can be raised by popular sub-
scription, so that nothing will have to be raised
by bonds. We are astonished at ourselves.

The Buffalo Lumber Exchange met on the
4th inst., and voted in favor of reducing the
tariff on all rough lumber to $1. It had prev-
iously voted in favor of a partial reduction, but
no distinction was made this time. The meet-
ing was held at the request of some western
lumbermen, presumably from Michigan, who
have undergone a change of heart of late. The
meeting was not largely attended, but the
secretary had received proxies enough to make
it certain that more than three-fourths of the
members are in favor of the reduction. Iam
not informed of the exact move made in Wash-

ington in the interest of a lower tariff, but it
seems that some influence is being exerted on
the members of Congress to modify the lumber
duty. Of course, the south and the northwest
will fight against it. The meeting of the Lum-
ber Exchange gave out some statistics of the
past year’s business, of which the following ex-
tract is made: Lake receipts, 185,752,000
feet ; rail receipts, 427,002,000 feet ; total,
613,754,000 feet ; shipped to customers with-
out bringing here, 287,698,000 feet; grand
total of year’s business, on the estimate that
stocks are at least not larger than they were
last winter, 900,631,000 feet ; on hand, Jan. 1,
163,352,000 feet ; shipped by canal, 28,182,000
feet ; by rail, 533,587,500 feet ; total, 561,-
769,500 feet. “This is a large amount of busi-
ness, but it is not what the coming season will
develop if the stock can be obtained.

Quite a good many changes have taken place
within the past few days. The Niagara Lum-
ber Company is to move to Cairo, Ill., in the
spring. Palen & Burns, who were the con-
trolling owners init, have sold out to the other
members E. C. Bradley, with whom is
associated C. H. Foote, of Cleveland. Palen
& Burns will remain actively in the hardwood

lumber business, but will not open a yard here.
They report an increased number of sales since
the change was made.

The H. M. Loud’s Sons Lumber Company
will in May move from the Ohio Basin to lower
Black Rock, having rented the yard of the
Arthur Hill Company, which was driven out
by the $2 duty. The Loud company is now
for the first time classed as a hardwood con-
cern.

Rung Bros., lumber and furniture, with two
large stores inthe city, have gone into the
hands of a receiver, though on account of a per-
sonal disagreement rather than any financial
difficulty. A hasty inventory finds the firm’s
assets much more than its liabilities. Asa
forced sale of the effects has been ordered, it is
feared that the assets will undergoa big shrink-
age in process of liquidation.

The hardwood firm of Pittman & James,
with timber land and mills in Mississippi and
principal office here, is in process of dissolution,
H. S. Janes having bought out his partner, M.
N. Pittman. Hehas not yet decided just
what name he will operate under in future. It
is probable that Mr, Pittman will still be con-
nected with the business, while his son, Harry
Pittman, has been engaged as foreman of the
mills. Mr. Janes returns south again in a few
days.

The firm of Mead & Stewart has separated,
C. C. Mead having sold out to Isaac Stewart.

John McLeod, of the R. Laidlaw Company,
was in New York last week, along with some
of the Tifft Farm dealers, looking intoa lumber
failure in which all are interested. It is not
known yet what the outcome will be.

Lumber carriers are saying that they expect
a better season than the last was, and they are
not trying to hold up rates by combining. The
association did not better matters very much
last season, and it created a large amount of
disturbance.

lumber business at Tuelon, Man.

DECISION OF THE UNITED STATES
TREASURY DEPARTMENT.

The United States Treasury Department has
replied in the negative to the following ques-
tion submitted by Senator Eugene Hale, of
Maine, one of the representatives of the lum-
ber interests of the state of Washington.

“Can American lumber, manufactured in
the province of New Brunswick by a corpora-
tion organized under the laws of Maine and
whose stockholders are American citizens
residing in New Brunswick, be reshipped to
the United States free of duty ; and how, if at
all, will it affect the matter if some of the
stock is held by persons who are not American
citizens or by persons who, although American
citizens, are not residents of New Brunswick ?”

There was some doubt about the law con-
tained in section 20 of the Dingley tariff act,
which says :

‘The produce of the forests of the state of
Maine upon the St. John river and its tribu-
taries, owned by American citizens and sawed
or hewed in the province of New Brunswick by
American citizens, the same being otherwise
manufactured in whole or in part, which is
now admitted into the ports of the United
States free of duty, shall continue to be so
admitted, under such regulations as the secre-
tary of the treasury shall from time to time
prescribe.”

Following its decision of 1886, when the
free entry of lumber was sought by the Clark
Brothers Lumber Company, the treasury de-
partment answers Senator Hale’s question in
the negative. The department says: ‘‘ Maine
lumber manufactured in the province of New
Brunswick by a corporation of citizens of the
United States cannot be reshipped to the
United States free of duty under section 20,
act of July 24th, 1897, as a corporation is not,
and cannot bea citizen of the United States,
to whom such privilege is confined.”

BUSINESS NOTES.

Francis and Joseph Roy have registered pro-
prietors of the sawmills of Roy & Frere at St.
Jude, Que.

The stock of Mantha, Lefebvre & Laper-
riere, sash and door manufacturers, Montreal,
was sold last week at 65 cents on the dollar.

George W. Stevens, formerly manager of the
Arthur Hill Lumber Co,, at Buffalo, has estab-
lished himselfin the lumber business at Sag-
inaw, Michigan. He has already purchased a
considerable quantity of hardwood lumber at
various points.

The Burrill Lumber Company, of Forest-
dale, Que., has been incorporated, with a
capital stock of $30,000. The members are:
William Mitchel}, of Drummondville ; David
Mitchell, of Forestdale; Vivian Burrill, of
Forestdale ; Charles Burriil, of Shawenegan,
and Joseph Patrick, of Montreal.

Samuel A. Skead, lumber exporter, Produce
Exchange Building, New York, is announced
to be financially embarrassed. Two judgments
have been filed against him, one of $8,666 in
favor of Noyes & Sawyer, of Buffalo, and the
other of $1,666 in favor of the Swan-Donogh
Lumber Co., of Tonawanda. Several Buffalo
and Tonawanda concerns are said to be inter-
ested.

SHIPPING MATTERS.

Chartering of lumber vessels is rather back-
ward. Owners are holding out for the new
form of charter, which the timber merchants
refuse to accept. 43s 9d has deen paid for
two vessels from the St. Lawrence to London ;
1,300 standards have been fixed, from Quebce
to Glasgow, at 42s 6d, deals and battens, 10
per cent. boards. Two vessels have been
chartered from Miramichi, N.B., to west coast
England, at 45s, and another vessel of 1,200
standards at St. John, N. B., for east coast
Ireland, at 42s 6d. There is a good delivery
for tonnage from all the N.S. and N.B. ports
at from 42s 6d to 43s 9d for regular sizes.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

The severe weather of the past week
has prevented an expansion of the lumber
trade which might otherwise have occur-
red. Only lumber for immediate require-
ments has been moved, but this has been
sufficient to represent a fair volume of
trade. That a good spring business is an-
ticipated by retail dealers is shown by the
number of enquiries for stock for early de-
livery. This is evidence also that retailers
are Carrying very light stocks, and fear that
these will not be sufficient to supply the
demand. A feature of the year, judging
from present indications, will be the
large number of farm buildings erected.
From all parts of the province comes the
report that farmers are preparing for the
building of dwellings, barns and other
outbuildings, and that there is a liberal
demand for the common and coarse grades
of lumber. In the cities and towns con-
siderable building is also being arranged
for. Lumber of all kinds is showing more
strength. The lower grades of pine are
advancing in price, and hardwoods are
particularly firm. Buyers are more num-
erous than for several years past at this
season.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,

Many of the lumbermen of Manitoba
have, within the past week, taken part in
the “bonspeil” at Winnipeg, and have
not given the usual attention to business.
The annual meeting of the Western Retail
Lumbermen’s Association was held on the
8th inst., at which some important ques-
tions affecting the trade were discussed.
It was decided to take no action looking
to the adoption of a telegraphic code and
to the formation of a mutual lumber in-
surance association. The honorary mem-
bers, who comprise the largest firms manu-
facturing for this market, pointed out that
about 30,000,000 feet of lumber was
brought in last year from the United
States by the retailers of the province.
This was looked upon as an injustice to
the honorary members of the associa-
tion.

The milis in British Columbia are busy
with orders, and look forward to the sea-
son of 1899 as likely to witness a marked
improvemont both in demand and prices.
It is reported that an order for 160,000,-
ooo feet has been placed with a provincial
mill for timber for Chinese railways and
naval posts occupied by Russia. The
company are said to have been given
six years in which to complete the con-
tract.

No. 4.

UNITED STATES,

Indications point to an unusually active
demand for Jumber in the United States
as soon as the weather shall permit of
building operations and other outside
work being proceeded with. Such in-
dustries as are not affected by weather
conditions are operating to their. full
capacity, and are consuming no small
quantity of pine and hardwood lumber.
Stocks in all quarters are lower than for
several years past, and consequently there
are numerous enquiries in the market.
Eastern wholesale dealers have purchased
to some extent at northern manufacturing
points, notwithstanding the high prices
asked by holders. The seller is now
in a position to dictate to the buyer, a
condition which is-in strong contrast
with that which prevailed one year ago.
Not only in pine and hardwood is the im-
provement noticed, but spruce, hemlock
and cedar are also showing more strength.
Reports from the hardwood trade are a
reiteration of what has been said in _prev-
ious issues. Demand is in excess of
supply, and buyers are willing to contract
for almost any kind of stock.

FOREIGN.

So far as can be learned, importers of
Canadian lumber have not as yet met
with much success in disposing of stock
in the British market. For some reason,
contracting has not been entered into as
early as usual, although there is no
reason to expect that the average quan-
tity will not be marketed there. Thecon-
suming industries are in a prosperous
condition, and stocks are gradually be-
coming reduced. There ‘s a good de-
mand for elm and ash timber, and prices
are firm. Birch is improving, and the
stock is light. Since the first of the year
pine deals have shown more strength,
and particularly first quality.

The Barbados market is _ heavily
stocked with both spruce and pine, result-
ing ina weakening of prices. Supplies
in the Australian market are also ample,
and until the present stock is reduced,
there will be little demand.

BUSINESS NOTES.

Victor Langis has established a sash
and door factory at St. Luce Station, Que.

Wm. L. Lawson, a lumber dealer of
Philadelphia, is reported to have assigned.

A sash, door and planing factory at
Ahmic Harbor, Ont., is offered for sale by
the assignee, Geo. H. Clarke, of Orillia,
Ont.

The balance of the assets of the estate
of W. I. Storey, planing mill, Ottawa,

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY

EDITION.

STOCKS AND PRICES. .

The Department of Public Works of
Ontario desires tenders by noon of the
17th inst., for the supply of a considerable
quantity of white pine and hemlock
timber. :

Donald Fraser & Son, of Fredericton,
N.B., are reported to have purchased the
timber prperty of the late James Miller at
Temiscouata, Que. The property con-
tains some 700 acres.

The January price list issued by the
British Columbia lumber manufacturers
shows an advance of one dollar on four
inch grained fir flooring. Three inch fir
flooring and ceiling has been dropped
from the published list.

A number of Ontario lumbermen. in-
cluding George -McCormack, M. P.,
Angus McLeod, and W. J. Sheppard,
have gone to British Columbia. It is said
that they have entered into a contract for
taking out timber for the C. P. R.

Mr. Joseph Tate reports that in the
township of Anson, where A. McPherson
& Co., of Longford Mills, Ont., are oper-
ating, the snow is very deep. Notwith-
standing, it is expected that some forty
thousand pieces will be on the ice in a few
days. The camp will probably break up
early in March.

Pelton & Reid, of Cheboygan, Mich.,
have closed a deal with Munro & Gordon,
of Pembroke, Ont., for the purchase of
15,000,000 feet of pine logs which are be-
ing put in this winter on Lake Wahnapitae.
These logs are being taken from Indian
‘lands. Pelton & Reid are also getting out
10,000,000 ft. of logs in the upper penisula
of Michigan.

Mr. W. C. Herbert, of the Manhattan
Car and Carriage Manufacturing Com-
pany, of New York, has been making a tour
of Ontario for jhe purpose of purchasing
hardwood lumber. He states that the
scarcity of cars of all classes is very great
throughout the United States, and that
the large manufacturers are crowded with
orders for rolling stock.

The lumber production of the State of
Michigan in 1898 was 2,158,343,122 feet,
about 200,000,000 less than the output in
1897. At the close of the manufacturing
season, there was abaut 100,000,000 feet
less in manufacturers’ hands than at the
close of 1897. Last year the shingle pro-
duction was 1,683.205,500, or about 400,-
000,000 more than was manufactured in
the previous year.

A feature of the pine trade of the
northern States 1s th- scarcity of lath at
all markets. The condition of the lath
market is becoming so noticeable that
northern wholesalers are getting out
new lists, advancing the price of ath
from ten to twenty-five cents a thousand,
and it is expected that the selling price
will shortly reach $1.75 for No. 1 white
pine and $1.25 for No. 2, on a Mirneap-
olis basis.

The Paepcke-Leicht Lumber Company,
of Chicago, recently purchased 12,000,000
feet of lumber from the Kirby:Carpen-
ter Co., of Menominee, Mich., and about
3,000,000 feet from Duluth and other
points in the Lake Superior district. The

THE GLASGOW MARKET.

Messrs. Allison, Cousland & Co., in their
monthly report, review the Glasgow market as
follows :

The amount of business transacted during
February has been moderate. As shippers are
asking advanced prices, values are steady and
inclined to stiffer, but the larger buyers being
well stocked, it may be some time before there
is any improvement. Several shippers of Que-
bec and Lower Port goods are here at present,
but as yet no great business is reported. All
consumers of timber are well employed, so
there is good reason to expect that shippers
ideas may be realized.

Wuitr Pinz.—Waney.—Prime wood, 19
to 20 inch average, is quoted at 2s 5d to 2s 8d
per cubic foot. 2nd class wood 15d to 2s per
cubic foot. Square.—The demand has been
very light. 1st class wood 35 to 40 feet aver-
age is quoted at 2s 3d to 2s 6d per eubic foot
G.F A. 18d to 20d per cubic foot.

RED PINE.—There is no business to report,
and prices remain unchanged at former figures,

Oak.—The stock on hand is heavy, and
little or no business has been transacted.
Quotations. —1st class is quoted at 2s 6d to 3s;
2nd class, 22d to 2s 2d per c. ft.

AsH.—The demand continues good, and
prices are firm ; 15 to 16 inch is quoted at 21d
to 23d per c. ft.

BircH.—The stock in first hands is very
limited and the prices are firm, 16 inch averrge
being quoted at 19d to 21d per c.-ft.

DEALS, BATTENS,AND BOARDS. —There has
been a moderate demand, and a fair amount of
business has been done, Prices on the whole
are inclined to be stiffer.

Pine.—Firsts are firmer in price for really
prime deals. Broads are quoted at 42375. Od.
to £24 15s. Undersized, £17 38. 9d. to £19

BARBADOS MARKET REPORT,

Of the Barbados
S. P. Musson, Son & Company :

Arrivals have been as follows: Schr.
Frances A. Rice, from Weymouth, N.S., 49m.
shipping, 18 m, 2nd quality w. pine, 71 m.
spruce; schr. Moss Glen from Bridgewater,
N.S., 73 m. ft. shipping, 41 m. 2nd quality w.
pine, 15 m. spruce scantling; schr. John A.
McKie from Windsor, N.S , to selves, 152 m.
shipping, 80 m. 2nd quality w. pine—lost
part of deck load; schr. Alfaretta S. Snare

- the Opal has 128 m.,

lumber market Messrs.

from St. John, N.B., 97 m. ft. shipping, 70 m.
small, 54 m. 2nd quality w. pine ; schr. Athlete
from Windsor, N.S., 143 m. shipping, 62 m.
2nd quality w. pine, 21 m, spruce scantling 5
schr. Mercedese from Belliveau Cove, 120
m. shippers, 24 m. plank, .7 m. 2nd quality
spruce; schr. Walter Sumner from Tusket
Wedge, N.S., 34 m. merchantable, 25 m.
small, 19 m. 2nd quality w. pine, 12 m. spruce
boards, -10 m. plank, and 150 m. laying spruce
shingles ; schr. Opal from Yarmouth, N.S.,
25 m. spruce, 9m. w. pine, 14 m. hemlock,
128 m. laying-cedar shingles.

The cargoes .of the Synara and B. B. Hard-
wick, mentioned in our last, were sold, former
at $21.10 shipping, $14.60 2nd quality, and
$13.40 small white pine; $11.40 2nd
quality spruce, $15 scantling 2 x 3; latter at
$21.26 shipping, $15.26 2nd w. pine ; $16.60
shipping spruce. For the Frances A. Rice’s
cargo we were able to obtain same rates, viz +
$21.26 shipping, $15.26 2nd quality w. pine ;
$16.60 shipping spruce. The. market was
well stocked with these previous receipts, and
the arrival of over half a million w. pine by the
Moss Glen, McKie, and Snare, had a most de-.
pressing effect. The first named, being a
small cargo, was sold at $20.50 shipping,
$13.50 2nd quality, cargo to be delivered at
Speightstown and Bridgetown. The Snare’s
and the McKie’s cargoes were placed at $20.10
shipping, $13.10. 2nd quality, and $15.10
small, deliverable at Bndgetown. The Ath-
lete we despatched to Demerara under val-
uation of $20 merchantable, $13 2nd quality,
bond. All these arrivals have depressed deal-
ers, who now anticipate a sharp break in the
prices, not only for w. pine, but for spruce as
well, and it was difficult to induce them to
make any offer for the Mercedese’s cargo,
which, however, we succeeded in placing at
$16 for shipping, and $14 for plank. The
Walter Summer’s cargo has been sold at $18.75
shipping, $12.50 2nd quality w. pine, $16
spruce boards, $12.50 plank ; and we learn
that the Opal has gone to St. Vincent.

Shingles—Long Gaspe—The S. S. Tay-
mouth Castle brought 196 m., which have
been sold at $5.53. In laying cedar the 500
m. by the Syanara were in part fulfillment of
contract at $2. The Taymouth Castle has
500 m., which were also contracted for ; and
which have gone on in
vessel ; other lots are expected. In spruce
laying the Wapiti, from Yarmouth, brought
264 m., of which we placed 200 m. at $2.35 5
the Walter Summer had 150 m., which were
sold at $1.90. We have done nothing so far
with the Cypress, ex Knowlton, and Saw
yer, mentioned in our last.

AUSTRALIAN CONDITIONS.

The monthly timber report of Fraser & Co.,
Melbourne, Australia, reviews that market as
fcllows : :

Operations during the past four weeks have
been very important, due ina measure to the
intervention of the holidays, and partly owing
to the fact of the trade holding off from buying
to any extent until after business has become
more settled in the new year. With the ex-
ception of flooring, lining, and weather-boards,
there are practically no alterations in values to
advise in other descriptions of timber, but in
the lines just named quotations have been given
for shipments shortly ‘‘ to arrive ” upon a re-
duced basis, though, for the reason already
mentioned, but few sales have been arranged.
Since the resumption of business after the holi-
days, a shipment of this class of timber just in
port has changed hands in a line at prices not
transpired, and it is the intention of the im-
porters of the cargo per Fernanda, also lately
arrived, to test the market to-morrow by sub-
mitting this shipment to public auction, along
with other kinds of timber importations now
upon the market.

It 1s probable that an increased consumption
will be shown during the current year,and later
on values of the lines chiefly in demand are
more than jikely to improve, but at present,
owing to near supplies appearing to be sufficient
to meet requirements, we hardly anticipate any

_ FEBRUARY 15, 1899

ee

early change for the better, even though cost
and freight prices at ports of shipment for many
imyortant kinds have but recently advanced.

Spruce AND BALTic WHITE DEALS.—
Imports: 1,175,308 feet super. Arrival =
Invermay, from St. John. Recent supplies —
have been in poor enquiry, as the principal
buyers of these lines are well stocked. Values
are weak, and are nominally 2}4d. to 254d.
per foot of 9 x 3. : r

OREGON PINE.—Imports? "1,539,238 feet
super, Arrivals: J. C. Potter, from Tacoma ;
Novelty from Astoria. Lumber stocks have
been dealt in to a slight extent only, but we
understand that a portion of the Novelty ship-
ment just arrived has been placed at about the
market rate of £5 10s. per 1,000 feet super. for
an average specification. The J. GC. Potters’
cargo has gone into the pard of the importers,

no business being concluded while at the wharf.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

Enquiries received during the past
week give rise to the hope that the spring
trade will open up earlier than usual, and
consequently retailers are stocking up
with some liberality. In the Ottawa
valley considerable lumber has changed
hands of late, and on some grades prices
have been advanced. United States
buyers have made considerable purchases
of box lumber, and at prices from one to
two dollars higher than those which ruled
one year ago. A singular feature of the
market is the scarcity of mill culls.
These have been practically cleaned out
in the Georgian Bay district, and it is
‘said that as high as $8 per thousand has
been offered. The steady demand
throughout the winter has reduced stocks
toa low point, and not for many years
has white pine occupied as strong a
position as it does to-day.

The demand for hardwood lumber is
unceasing, and the mills are constantly
refusing orders owing to inability to
supply the stock.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Beyond the shipment of shingles to the
‘United States, the movement of eastern
timber products has shown no expansion.
Some stock has gore forward from St.
John by the regular liners to the British
market, but the quantity has been less
than in the corresponding period last
year. It is learned that comparatively
few contracts have as yet been placed for
maritime province spruce deals. Manu-
facturers and shippers are holding out for
prices considerabiy higher than those of
last year, while buyers are reluctant in

acceding to their demands. The Quebec
shippers of spruce have been more for-
tunate than their eastern friends, and are
reported to have succeeded in selling an
average quantity of stock at a slight
advance over last year’s figures. Freights
for sailing vessels are about the same as
last year, but steamers are holding out
for stiffer rates. That they will be able
to secure such is very doubtful.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The spring movement of lumber has
commenced in a moderate degree, and
dealers report an increased number of
enquiries. The volume of building opera-
tion in Winnipeg and in towns in Mani-
toba and the Territories promises to be
large, while considerable railway work
will be carried out. Prices of lumber are
rather uncertain, and it 1s probable that a
new price list will be issued by the manu-
facturers. The British Columbia mills
are busy, and the outlook is good.

UNITED STATES.

Holders of stock in the United States
continue to advance prices, and for certain
lines of goods there seéms to be no limit.
In some quarters buying has been
deterred owing to the fear of a reaction
after the mills shall commence to manu-
facture. At the present time all kinds of
lumber are firm. At Chicago there is a
Pronounced shortage of No. 3 boards,
No, 3 strips, and piece stuff ; at Bradford,
Pa., No. I pine is in short supply, and at

Philadelphia there is a decided shortage
of 4/4 and 1%-1nch cutting up lumber.

In the east the demand for shingles has
been large, and the market is short of 16-
inch white pine. It is thought that the
supply of all kinds of shingles will be
exhausted before the opening of lake
navigation. Hardwood lumber continues
to be sought after, and it is probable that
some factories may be compelled to shut
down for lack of raw material. In the
south logging has been difficult, while in
the north the season has been fairly
favorable and the output of lumber will be
a full average.

FOREIGN.

It is rather surprising that British im-
porters have not contracted more exten-
sively for Canadian goods. Much less
stock has been placed than ata corres-
ponding period one year ago, and some
of the largest buyers are still standing
aloof. One reason given for this situation
is that large quantities of lumber have
been disposed of at auction, a course to
which many of the most reliable dealers
take exception. Concerning this policy
the Timber Trades Journal says: “The
shippers sell as much as they canto the
merchants here in the first instance, and
afterwards bring forward cargoes in the
market, which inevitably find their way

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

into the auction room for realization at
prices detrimental to the interests of those
who have previously bought largely on
f.o.b. or c.i.f. terms. Such a condition of
things must find its level, and the present
stagnation of first-open-water business can
be traced to this cause. It seemsa pity
that the Canadian firms do not combine
with the object of regulating their business
on similar methods to those of the North
of Europe shippers.” At Liverpool the
market is also dull, but some of the other
ports are buying spruce quite liberally. A
fair amount of business is being done in
Ireland, and at prices slightly higher than
those of last year. Red pine deals are
especially firm, being in low stock and
advancing in price.

France and Germany are buying only
moderately. The South American de-
mand shows some life, but the West
India market is overburdened with stock,
and prices are depreciating.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

D. K. Bugisch, of Antwerp, Belgium,
desires to correspond with Canadian lum-
ber exporters.

W. J. Barrett, of Thessalon, Ont., will
probably get out this winter 5,000 cords
of pulp wood.

S. H. White, of Sussex, N.B., is taking
out a quantity of hardwood timber for ex-
port to England.

William White, reeve of Tweed, Ont.,
wants tenders for the supply of pine plank
and cedar scantling.

R. J. Abbott, a contractor of Boston,
Mass., was in Annapolis, N. S., last week
with a view of purchasing lumber.

Red cedar shingle manufacturers in the
Western States have advanced prices.
Clears are now selling at about $2.50 de-
liveied on a 60 cent rate.

D. M. Rennie, Canadian Commercial
Agent in Agentina, writes that the lumber
business has not been large, but stocks
are light and the outlook for 1899 is ex-
cellent.

F. R. Gilchrist & Co., of Cleveland,
Ohio, have made a large shipment of
maple flooring to Peru, and have received
an order for the same kind of material to
go to Belfast, Ireland.

At Saginaw, Mich., there is a general
belief that prices will advance. Log run
lumber is selling at $13 to $18, box lumber
at $10 to $50, Norway at $9 and $10, and
mill culls at $7 and $8.

The Temiscouata timber property pur-
chased by Donald Fraser & Sons, of
Fredericton, N.B., and referred to in last

issue, contains 700 square miles. The
price paid was $90,000.
The corporation of Welland, Ont.,

invites tenders up to February 27th for
a supply of white oak and white pine
timber. Address, C. H. Reilly, chairman
Road and Bridge Committee.

It is reported that Boston capitalists
have undertaken the formation of a large
lumber company to consolidate all the
mills on the Machias river, and to pur-
chase several townships which embrace
valuable timber limits.

D. L. White, jr., and James Playfair &
Co., of Midland, Ont., are reported to have
purchased twenty million feet of logs put
in this winter by the Arthur Hill Co., of
Saginaw. This stock will be manufactured
at Midland, some of it for export.

A. McPherson & Co., of Longford
Mills, Ont., have just finished hauling
their cut ot logs in Anson township. They
have taken out 40,000 pieces. They state
that the great depth of snow is making
hauling very expensive. At their Ravens-
worth mill, in Bethune township, they
have a stock of two and one-quarter
million feet. They also have in stock
over two million of No. 1 and 2 16-inch
pine and cedar shingles.

Speaking of the lumber trade, Mr. E.
C. Whitney, manager of the St. Anthony

Lumber Company, remarked that this has
been an excellent season for getting out
logs in the Ottawa valley. The St.
Anthony Company, whose limits are
principally on the Madawaska, are taking
out about the usual quantity of logs. The
Booth Company are taking down to
Ottawa daily a train load of about forty-
five cars of pine and spruce logs, averag-
ing from twelve to twenty feet long and
about eighteen inches in diameter.

At the Crown Lands office, Fredericton,
N.B., the following timber berths were
sold last week:—Head of Popelogan
stream, Upsalquinch river, 43 miles, to
James Reid, at upset price of $8 per mile;
hardwood settlement, Bay du Vin, 2 miles,
to Edward Sinclair, at $8.50 per mile ;
east branch, Christopher’s brook, 23 miles,
to A. Alexander at upset price; headwaters
of Tattagouche river, 9 miles, to Sumner
& Co., at upset price; Tattagouche river,
above Third lake, 5 miles, to Sumner &
Co., at upset pries; Gaspereau river, at
mouth of Demon’s brook, 4% miles, to
Geo. F. Baird, at upset price ; Gaspereau
river, above Meadow brook, 2 miles, to
Geo. F. Baird, at upset price; west branch
Rockway river, 2 miles, to Milton Dayton,
at upset price; head of east branch
Christopher’s brook, 9 miles, to A. Alex-
ander, at $8.10 per mile.

Concerning an auction sale held by
Churchill & Sims, London, Eng., on the
8th inst., the Timber Trades Journal says:
Spruce went tolerably, and all we can say
is, that if the whitewood market has an
improving tendency,as some wish to make
out, there are no signs of it in the auction
realizations ; 2nd Quebec regulars selling
at 67 Ios., and unsorted 5s. less, must be
alosing game. The few lots of white
pine went indifferently, and it seems pretty
plain that the market for Canadian pine
has no life in it, and only at sacrificial
prices is the present stock realisable. 3rd
Quebec have been hanging in the auction
sales at £8 158. for some time past, and
though some explanation is afforded for
the depreciation on the score of quality,
the damage to better kinds by these low
sale values can be easily understood. The
red pine boards, ex “‘ Nordcap,” were well
competed for and prices fairly good.

BASSWOOD BOARDS WANTED.

A British importing firm write the CANADA
LUMBERMAN as follows :

““We would be glad to know if any Canadian
manufacturers can supply the following specifi-
cation of basswood boards, to be cut from
winter-sawed, perfectly white basswood :—
Lengths, 1234”, 13%”, 14”, 15’, 16”, 16%”, and
any width from 3’ and up, to be sound and per-
fectly white, and free from knots. Sufficient
number of each length, to make a board four
feet wide, these to be jointed onedge and glued
together, thus :—

FOUR FEET LONG,

Lengths of all these to be four feet long, and
to hold up %” thick after being planed or
sanded. Boards to be cased with 1” lun.ber,
about 100 pieces in a case, and delivered free
on rail, giving price per 1,000 feet superficial
for these goods, and allowing a 60 cent rate
per 100 lbs. from invoice, for freight. Two
carloads a month required.

We are also buyers of broom handles in large
quantities, 50” x 114”.

‘It is a great pityjthat we cannot give Can-
ada this business instead of the United States.”

The name and address of the firm may be
obtained upon application to this office,

FIRES.

A saw mill at Morbely, B.C., has been
burned.

The wood-working factory of Joseph Saun-
ders, at Sunderland, Ont., was destroyed by
fire on the 14th instant.

It is reported that a saw mill at Cranbrook,
B.C., in which James Mundie, of Winnipeg,
is interested, has been destroyed by fire. The
mill had a capacity of 30,000 feet per day.

THE BRITISH MARKET.

The lumber market at Liverpool, Eng., is
thus reviewed by Messrs. Farnworth & Jardine
in their circular dated February Ist :

The arrivals from British North America
during January have been 3,320 tons register,
against 3,864 tons register during the corres
ponding month last year, and the aggregate
tonnage to this date from all places during the
years 1897, 1898, and 1899 has been 15,132,
21,739 and 15,477 tons respectively. The
business during the past month has been quiet ;
the arrivals have been fairly moderate, but the
deliveries have been small. Stocks are ample,
and there is little change in values to report.

Pine TiMBER.—Of waney the deliveries
have been fair, and the stock is now reduced
to a moderate compass ; prices are firm. For
square there is little enquiry ; the stock is
ample. Red pine .is in very limited request,
and the stock is sufficient. Oak :—The de-
mand continues very dull; prices are difficult
to maintain, and the stock is large. Elm :-—
The stock is small, and it is firmly held at ad-
vanced prices. Ash:—The import consists of
round wood from the United States; there is
only a limited demand ; the stock is moderate
and values unchanged. Pine deals remain in
a very unsatisfactory position, the deliveries
have been disappointing, prices rule low and
the stock is far too heavy. Red pine deals
are in strong demand, and the prices for next
season are much higher ; the stock is light.

New BruNsWICK AND NOVA SCOTIASPRUCE

AND PINE DEALS. —The arrivals, amounting to
1,800 standards, have been by steamers from
St. John and Halifax ; the deliveries have been
unsatisfactory. Stocks are too heavy, but
there is little change in value to report. Pine
deals are in very dull demand and difficult to
sell ; the stock is sufficient.

Brrcu.—Cf logs there has been no import ;
there is a fair demand, and stocks are not ex-
cessive. Planks continue to arrive in moder-

- ate quantities, but prices are lower and the

stock is ample.
Current quotations are as follows :

Of the London demand, Messrs. Churchill &
Sim say: Pine deals have again been freely
sold during the month with varying fortunes,
dependent largely upon the quality of the par-
ticular parcel, but on the whole, perhaps, at
some shade of reduction on the levels of last
autumn. Spruce has been rather disappoint-
ing, for it has sold very freely in response to
quite an eager demand. The stock is consider-
ably reduced, comparing now very favourably
with that of last year, and yet for wholesale
quantities prices have been if anything rather
lower than they were before the turn of the
year. Birch, elm, and ash are in rather better
retail demand ; there is no change to record in
oak; white pine timber has been sold very
cheaply during the month.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

The time has arrived when the spring
movement of lumber should commence,
when contemplated construction work]
should cause dealers to stock up in antici-
pation of the season’s requirements. Re-
tail stocks were drawn upon to some ex-
tent during the winter, and are by no
means heavy, rendering replenishment a’
necessity. At the mills the quantity of
unsold lumber is less than it has been
for several years. These conditions ac-
count, in part, for the volume of the trade
of the past week, which was of a
most satisfactory character. In the pine
trade the chief transactions have been in
low grade and common stock, of which
the supply is rapidly becoming depleted,
and before the new cut is available there
will be little upon the market The de-
mand for mill culls is almost unprece-
dented, and manufacturers who held this
class of stock for higher prices are now
reaping the benefit. Considerable stock
has changed hands in the Ottawa valley
for shipment to the United States, and
there, as in the west, the outlook is hope-
ful. Much interest pertains to red pine,
the British demand for which has become
SO pronounced. Severel manufacturers
have disposed of their 1899 cut, and it is
learned that one manufacturer at least
has sold his production for the season of
1900. This fact forcibly illustrates the
strength of the market. It seems almost
incredible that in sucha short space of
time Canadian red pine should become
so popular in the British market.

Any reference to the hardwood trade
must be almost a repetition of what has
already been said. The market is
strengthening, demand expanding, and
stock becoming scarcer. Numerous
orders are being refused for black ash and
soft elm, the supply of which, it may be
said, is exhausted, while of the other hard-
woods it is difficult to find any consider-
able stock. Mill men have grasped the
situation, and those having any dry lum-
ber are not backward in asking fancy
prices. Birch is in greater supply than
the other woods. Early in the year a
word of warning was sounded to manu-
facturers that prices might weaken in the
spring, in view of the supposed heavy
production of logs. Conditions have been
changed somewhat by an unfavorable
Jogging season, and it is not believed that
the crop of logs secured has been more
than an average one, while the winter
season seems now to be at anend. With

the prospects for a good trade, prices are
not likely to depreciate to any extent.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

As the logging season draws to a close,
it becomes more evident that the pro luc-
tion of spruce logs will be limited. In
Quebec the cut will be an average one,
bnt in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia
Operations have been much curtailed.
Compared with last year spruce deals are
considerably higher. Manufacturers are
looking forward to a better demand, and
resuse to contract excepting at prices from
one to two dollars in advance of those
of last year. The cedar shingle market
is firm, there being a steady trade with
the Eastern States, where this class of
shingle 1s growing in favor.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,

Bright building Prospects in Manitoba
and the North-West Territories have
caused Iumbermen to look forward to the
season of 1899 as likely to be quite as
Prosperous as that of the previous year.
Already there is a considerable movement

~ of lumber, and plans are under way for

several important buildings to be erected
in the city of Winnipeg. Although the
price lst has not yet been re-arranged, it
is thought that very few lines will be
offered at lower figures than those which
ruled last year,

In British Columbia the demand for
lumber is unusually brisk, chiefly on ac-
count of the activity in building opera-
tions. Foreign trade is also of consider-
able volume, and lumbermen are much
encouraged at the outlook.

UNITED STATES.

It can truly be said that the lumber
trade of the United States is in a flourish-
ing condition. Whiie the spring move-
ment has not yet commenced, the heavy
purchases made during the past week show
that wholesale dealers anticipate an active
demand. Chicago dealers have closed
for several mill cuts in the Duluth-Superior
district, and have paid advanced prices
for the stock. Eastern dealers, who
showed a disposition to wait in the hope
that prices would weaken, are now con-
vinced that this will not be the case, and
are stocking up quite liberally. The
greatest scarcity pertains to low grade
boards suitable for box-making. This
grade of white pine is almost exhausted,
and substitutes are being purchased in
some instances,

Spruce is improving. In New York
13-foot stock jis very scarce; there is
practically none at the mills, and the

II.

stock on hand in Albany is the lowest in
years.

Prices of hardwood lumber have a ten-
dency to further advance. Black and
white ash and soft elm are much enquired
for, and orders have been refused owing
to inability to find the stock. In Wis-
consin and Michigan logging conditions
have been somewhat unfavorable, and as
a result the output of basswood, elm, birch,
maple and ash will not likely be as great
as was expected earlier in the winter.
The weather in the south has also been
unfavorable, and a restricted imput is ex-
pected. These conditions cannot but re-
sult in strengthening the hardwood
market.

FOREIGN.

The movement in Great Britain to-
wards contracting for the season’s supply
of lumber is still backward. One reason
for this is that shippers are asking higher
prices, which buyers refuse to pay until
convinced of the absolute necessity of
doing so. The market for white pine 1s
steady, and stocks sold at recent sales
have realized average prices. There is a
brisk demand for red pine, which has
practically passed out of first hands.
Spruce is likewise enquired for freely,
some sales having been made recently at
prices which show a considerable advance.

In France and Germany the trade of
this year has not exhibited much life.
For some reason buyers have not entered
the market with the usual vigor. The
South American market is improving.

The Skillings, Whitney & Barnes Lum-
ber Co., of Ogdensburg, N.Y., have just
been given an order for 180,000 feet of
one-half inch pine lumber, to be shipped
to Porto Rico, to be used in making sugar
boxes.

The Emporium Lumber Co., of Buf-
falo, is reported to have purchased from
F. H. & C. W. Goodyear and the Penn-
sylvania Canning Company, all of the
hardwood on 7,000 acres of land in Cam-
eron and Potter counties, Pennsylvania.

The city council of Winnipeg, Man.,
has accepted the tender of T. D. Robin-
son & Co. for the supply of from 1,000 to
2,000 cords of cedar blocks, at the price of
$11.98 per cord. Other tenderers were:
J. G. Hargrave, $12.14; Kelley Bros.,
$12.47.

Mr. William Margach, crown timber
agent at Rat Portage, Ont., reports that
logging operations are being carried on
extensively in that vicinity this winter.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

The quantity of ties, piles, telegraph poles
and cedar posts cut during the season will
be greatly in excess of any previous year.

In the Duluth-Superior district there is
only about 20,000,000 feet of last year’s
production of lumber yet unsold, while is
is estimated that over 90,000,000 feet of
the 1899 cut has been contracted for at
prices from $1 to $1.50 higher than quot-
ations of one year ago.

Messrs. Denny, Mott, & Dickson, of
London, Eng., says regarding Canadian
timber: ‘* Waney pine and oak have
been little enquired for, but there has
been a fair enquiry for elm. Prices re-
main firm; as there is little anxiety as to
the moving off of the present moderate
stocks before new supplies can come to
hand.”

O. E. Konkle, of Hamilton Ont., will
shortly commence to get out oak in the
vicinity of Farmers and Morehead, Ken-
tucky, having been given a contract to
furnish oak for a number of British war
vessels. The American Lumberman is
authority for the statement that he in-
tends to purchase 2,000 acres of oak
lands, and that 5,000,000 feet will be re-
quired for his purpose.

Referring to the probable log supply of
the Michigan mills for the coming sea-
son, the American Lumberman says :
“ The Siginaw Lumber and Salt Company
has 15,000,000 teet of logs now in Sagi-
naw river, and will get 10,000,000 feet
more from Canada this year, the latter
being cut on Indian lands. The mills of
Pitts & Co., McEwan Bros. & Co., Wil-
liam Peter, F. E. Bradley, and one or
two others on the river, chiefly depend
upon Canada for stock. Eddy Bros.
& Co., are operating in Canada, but also
in Michigan, and will have a partial stock
for their mills. The Central Lumber
Company depends upon Canada for a
portion of its stock, and it will bea hard-
ship if the 10,000,000 ft. being put in on the
Blind River are not allowed to come over.
Pelton & Reid, ot Cheboygan, have 15,-
000,000 feet of logs cut on Indian lands,
which will be allowed to come over. It
is also to be remembered that a consider-
able quantity of Canada logs cut last win-
ter were hung up by the sudden disap-
pearance of snow, and these logs have
mostly been purchased by Michigan
mills.”

THE MAINE LOG PRODUCTION.

A dispatch from Bingham, Maine, relating
to the log input, says: The exceptionally fine
season for lumbering, the fair outlook for an
advance of prices for manufactured lumber and
the improvements made by the Kennebec Log
Driving Co. along the Kennebec river, have
tended to cause each of the lumbering firms to
incréase their expected cut, so that the year
1899 will see the largest cut of timber ever
made and rafted in the Kennebec waters, it be-
ing nearly one-third larger than the estimate
given by the Associated Press at the beginning
of the season. There is every reason to believe
that manufactured lumber will be $2 per
thousand more this year. Improvements along
the Kennebec are such that driving will be
practically easy compared with former years.
A conservative estimate of the cut to date is as
follows: In the Skowhegan section, 28,000,-
000 ; the cut in the Dead river regions, Berlin
Mills, 9,000,000; Clark Bros., 1,000,000 ;
Elias Thomas, 500,000 ; Elias Thompson &
Co. on Bay Brook, 250,000 ; on the Carry,
100,000 ; Lawrence Newhall & Co. on the
North Branch, 6,000,000 ; Lawrence New-
hall & Co. on Moose river, 8,000,000 ; Elias
Thomas on South Branch, 1,500,000; on
Supton Brook, 2,000,000 ; Viles and Thomas
on Black Brook, 1,000,000 ; Viles & Co. on
Carry Pond, 500,000 ; Lawrence Bros. and
Hollingsworth and Whitney Co. on the
Spencer, 6,000,000.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

In no branch of commerce 1s the busi-
ness isprovement more noticeable than
in the lumber trade. Manufacturers of
agricultural implements, furniture, house
finishing and other woed-working lines
are Operating their factories to their full
capacity, and have orders on hand which
will carry them well into the summer sea-
son, to say nothing of new business. The
lumber required for the execution of these
orders will be considerable, and as little is
held in stock, purchasing for requirements
must follow. That lumber will be scarce
seems to be admitted even by buyers, who
are showing some willingness to contract
for the cut of the coming season. While
hardwoods are eagerly sought for at the
advanced prices, there is also a satisfac-
tory movement of pine, and this will be
greatly increased as building operations
become more active. Toronto architects
are preparing plans for many buildings,
and at outside points the season is open-
ing up favorably.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Shippers of spruce have not purchased
with much liberality, having been unable
to contract with British importers at satis-
factory prices. The situation is some-
what peculiar, and there is a possibility
that buying will be deferred until late in
the spring. It is thought that then the
prices which manufacturers now ask will
be paid, and that all the stock manufac-
tured will be marketed. The trade have
some hope of placing a greater quantity
in the United States market on account
of the improvement in prices in
the east. There is also a bright prospect
of increased trade with the West India
Islands, and recently a number of in-
quiries have been received. Attention is
directed to the changes in the Quebec
price list. Square and Ottawa waney
pine are marked slightly higher.

UNITED STATES.

The only weakness in the lumber mar-
ket pertains to spruce, which does not im-
provein due relation tothe favorable condi-
tions surrounding the trade. In every
other branch of the industry, conditions
are particularly favorable. The demand
for white pine lumber is almost unpre-
cedented, and this notwithstanding the
fact that little lumber is as yet yoing into
consumption on account of building
operations. Owing to the inability of
Michigan manufacturers to obtain Cana-
dian logs this season, the lumber produc-
tion of that state will be greatly curtailed,
and consuming industries will no doubt
purchase some of their supply at least in
the Duluth-Superior district. Already
135,000,000 feet of the 1899 cut of the
Duluth mills has been contracted for, and
at prices from one to two dollars per
thousand higher than those of last year.
The supply of box grades, such as No. 3
and No. 4 common, and mill culls, is
nearly exhausted, and box-makers will be
compelled to purchase the higher grades
of pine or substitute some other lumber for
their purpose. Cull lumber is now selling

at the mills as high as $8. The eastern

trade is buying heavily in carload lots, the
scarcity of stock making it impossible to
wait until the opening of navigation to
replenish their supply.

Adverse weather conditions have re-
stricted the production of hardwood logs
in Wisconsin and Michigan, and in view
of the unparalleled demand for lumber, it
iS a question just to what point prices will
be advanced. Basswood is selling at $20
per thousand for firsts and seconds, and
$15 to $16 for common. Hard maple is
not in as good demand as most other hard-
woods. Contracts for soft elm have been
closed at an advance of $4 on prices of
last year, while ash occupies much the
same position. It is believed that the
production during the coming season will
be unequal to the demand, and that hard-
wood lumber of all kinds will find ready
sale.

FOREIGN.

In the British market considerable
hesitation still marks the progress of
business, and stocks usually purchased
early in the spring are still unsold. Im-
porters have been unable to obtain from
Canadian shippers quotations which they
consider would justify them in contract-
ing, more particularly as it has so far been
impossible to effect sales in the home
market at prices appreciably higher than
those of last year. They reason that
there is to be an ample stock, and that
nothing can be lost by waiting until the
season is further advanced. That this
course will cause shippers to weaken in
their demands is very.doubtful. The pro-
duction in Canada this season of both
pine and spruce is likely to be less than
last year, and should be marketed with-
out any difficulty. Itis learned that the
Government contract for Quebec goods
has been secured by McArthur Bros. &
Company, of Toronto, through Foy, Mor-
gan & Company, of London.

The British consumption of wood goods
continues active, and spot prices are firm.
At London late auction sales have been
practically free of third quality 3x9
spruce, and in consequence the price has
risen to £7 12s. 6d. per standard, at which
figure several lines have changed hands.

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.

The cedar shingle market is in a
peculiar condition. All shingles cut in
New Brunswick in 1898 are disposed of,
and everything now being offered is the
product of winter mills, and necessarily
small in volume. At the same time,
present consumption is light, probably
just about equal to offerings. There is a
considerable diveigence of opinion among
dealers as to future prices, some figuring

that after the small winter mills close:

down and during the intermission before
summer mills start, prices will stiffen
materially ; others that the anxiety of
manufacturers to secure orders will result
in still lower prices later. The retail
trade are, as a whole, lightly stocked. It
appears to us that future prices are in the
hands of the manufacturers; that no
more shingles are manufactured annually
than are needed for actual consumption,
and that the manufacturers can either get

a fair price or give away all profit. It
much depends upon themselves, as the
trade seem compelled to have the goods.
Present quotations for car delivery are on

STOCKS AND PRICES.

One million feet of elm lumber was sold
at Marinette, Wis., last week at 516 per
thousand.

Wm. Ramsay is cutting 200,000 feet of
lumber at Eight Mile brook, near Anna-
polis, N.S.

The Toronto Grain Cleaner Manufac-
turing Company, of Toronto, want a quan-
tity of basswood and elm lumber.

The Ross-MacLaren saw mill on the
Fraser river near New Westminster, B.C.,
is being repaired, and will probably re-
sume operations at an early date.

A. Cushing & Co. have been negotiating
for the purchase of the Miller & Wood-
man mill and lumber at St. John, N.B.,
but as yet no agreement has been reached.

A St. John lumberman estimates the
winter’s cut of logs on the Upper St. John
river, in New Brunswick, at about 120,-
000,000 feet, or practically the same as
last year.

At the Russell House, Ottawa, on June
1st, there will be offered for sale timber
berths Nos. 149, 150, 151 and 152, on the
river Coulogne, province of Quebec, and
containing about 150 square miles. These
limits are the property of Thomas Mackie.

The log cut in Maine this season has
been estimated at 400,000,000 feet. On
Penobscot waters 100,000,000 feet will be
cut; on the Androscoggin and tributaries,
200,000,000 feet, and on Kennebec waters,
75,000,000 feet. Only about two per cent.
will be pine and cedar, and the balance
spruce.

The Rat Portage Lumber Company, of
Rat Portage, Ont., is reported to have
purchased from Robert Thompson & Co.,
of Hamilton, a timber limit on Whitefish
Bay, Lake of the Woods district. The
limit comprises 23,000 acres, and is esti-
mated to contain 50,000,000 feet of stand-
Ing pine.

Prices of low grade boards and strips
on Lake Superior have advanced from $2
to $3 per M during the past six months.
Last season mill culls started at 4 per
thousand at Lake Superior and at $5 to
$5.50 at Lake Michigan points ; now mill
culls are held firmly at Duluth-Superior at
$7 on dock, while at Menominee, Mich.,
$8 is the price.

The Exploits Lumber Company, of Bot-
woodville, Nfld., have 400 men at work in
the woods. A late report stated that 7,-
000,000 feet of timber had been cut and
hauled to the Exploits river bank. Saw-
ing at the mill will be commenced shortly,
and Mr. Fowler, the manager, estimates
that from ten to twelve million feet of
lumber will be cut during the coming
summer. One million feet of lumber cut
last year is now waiting shipment to Eng-
land.

The Tonawanda correspondent of the
New York Lumber Trade Journal has the
following to say regarding market condi-
tions: “The box shook manufacturers
seem to be having all they can do, as the
Dodge & Bliss Company are running their
mill anywhere from 13 to 16 bours per
day, as is also Mr. F. I. Alliger, and, as
the quantity of box lumber is rather scarce
in this market, they have to use better
grades, and this they can afford to do,
owing to the prices they are securing for
their stock. The Dodge & Bliss Company
use a great amount of Canada lumber in
their business, and some of the other firms
are falling in line with them; among
them are Messrs. Mackenzie & Evans.
Mr. Alliger is also about to commence
using stock from across the border, and,
owing to the scarcity of stock in the west,
a good many other dealers will have to
secure a good portion of their stock from
over there.”

Concerning the Albany, N.Y., market,
Messrs. D. L. White & Co., who deal ex-
tensively in pine, say: We are able to re-
port a marked improvement in the outlook

for 1899. The evidences are unmistakable
of increased activity and better prices tor
all kinds of lumber. It has been in the
common grades that the recovery has been
more marked, with an advance of $1 to $2
per M. But return of prosperous times
will result in an increase in the consump-
tion of the better grades, and higher prices
may belookedfor. The foreign complica-
tions now existing, once totally brought to
an end, and a complete recovery from late
disastrous years: having set in, and con-
fidence restored, the next few years cannot
fail to be as prosperous as ever known.
The impetus in that direction already and
increase in all branches of trade are borne
out by the statistics published since the
new year. Our production of lumber
alone will represent a healthy and profit-
able business.

BUFFALO AND TONAWANDA.
[Correspondence of the CanADA LUMBERMAN.]
There is a very strong feeling in all depart-

ments of the lumber trade, unless it be in the
sash and blind manufacture, which is still
suffering from the terrible over-production that
has made it so nearly impossible to make any
money for so long. Even this is doing some-
what better, and the mills are more than
usually busy, but it is stjll hard to obtain the
prices for finished work that must be had
before there is any great profit in it.

The great scarcity in all sorts of hardwood
has continued all winter, and will stick to the
trade right along so far as can be seen now.
The need is great of a new lead in the business
in order to help out the sorts that give no hope
of ever becoming plenty again. White ash is
probably in most demand, considering the
slackness from which it at one time suffered.
This is largely on account of the practical
giving out of such woods as black ash and elm.
The agricultural machinery factories are in
great need of thick ash and will pay almost
any price for what they want.

There has been a great disappointment in
the supply of southern woods, especially oak
and poplar, both of which remain in sharp de-
mand. The Memphis district and beyond,
which has formerly been so well supplied with
oak and ash, failed us almost entirely last year.
There was first yellow fever enough to shut off
work, and then it rained till the forests were
under water.

Cypress and southern pine are not in great
demand, as they do not appear to come in as
a substitute for woods that are scarce. For a
time it was thought that cypress would become
a general substitute for white pine, but the
expectation was realized only in a moderate
way. Southern pine is, for the most part, a
competitor of maple for the manufacture of
flooring ; otherwise it is mostly considered too
coarse and gummy for general use.

The demand for basswood is active. Along
with elm it is sought by coopers as well as
lumbermen, and both say that they are unable
to find anywhere an adequate supply of either.
There is some effort to obtain them from
Canada, but that section does not seem to be
any better provided with them than we are at
home. The same may be said of oak.

White pine is not so plenty as it was former-
ly, the highest and lowest grades being espec-
ially scarce. Some of the yards have practi-
cally no uppers or box or mill culls Jeft, though
there is generally plenty of the other grades.
There is a much more active buying of pine by
our dealers now than there has been during
the winter for a considerable time. They do
not find the supply as good on the lakes as they
used to, and it is reported that Chicago is
again a strong buyer. Last winter our dealers
were still quite indifferent to the demands’ of
the pine producers, for they were still with a
large stock on hand and with grades unbroken
at the close of winter. It is different now, the
east is actively buying; the West India trade
must be looked after, and there isa more
general disposition to stock up eastward than
there was during the period of depression,
which may be said to be entirely over.

With all these conditions, it will still have
to be said that there is not the general advance
in prices that one would look for. The im-
provement is still more in the stage of greater
demand than in any other direction. There is
in all sorts of lumber a strong upward tendency,
yet with the added incentive for holding for
good figures caused by the crying scarcity, the
prices are not very high yet. An advance
within the past month in hemlock is the most
decisive change in the trade, for it means a call
to come for other woods to cover the hemlock
with. Dealers say that hemlock will probably
advance still further before long.

The recent advance has been a dollar in
pine uppers, No. 3 cuts and No. 1 barn. In
hardwoods there is an advance of one or two

dollars in white and black ash and birch, with
no weakness anywhere developing.

The certainty of the holding of the Pan-
American Exposition next year is already
stimulating building, and there is much pre-
paration for a general increase of building,
both of houses that require lumber for the most
part, and hotels and other brick structures.
Buffalo cannot fai] to reap a big harvest in this
special activity, which will run through the
entire business of the city and vicinity. The
money to ensure a success is now in sight, and
this week the organization will be completed
and the site selected.

The lumbermen of this section went to
Boston last week in quite large numbers to at-
tend the annual meeting of the National
Wholesale Association, and come back very
enthusiastic over the success of the gathering,
especially on account of the excellent under-
standing that was obtained with the retailers,
who were represented by a number of organiza-
tions and acted in perfect harmony with the
wholesalers, which has not been the case
formerly.

The numerous changes reported last month
among the Buffalo lumber firms appear to be
over fora time, and the work in sight is the
gathering of hardwood stock, to be followed
soon by the same activity in pine. Lake
freights are opening early, $2 having already
been paid on pine from Duluth to Lake Erie,

The Holland & Emery Company is prepar-
ing to open its Byng Inlet saw mills just as
soon as the weather will permit, and to cut
out a large amount of lumber The hope, if
there was any, of a reduction of the tariff is
gone, and the cut will have to be sold in
Canada for the most part.

Tonawanda will do the usual heavy business
this year, and is reported as already buying
actively, sticking mostly to pine as usual.

HARDWOOD LUMBER WANTED.

Mr. W. S. Fisher, of St. John, N. B., has
received the following letter of enquiry from
Messrs. Sharpe & Tylee, hardwood importers,
Liverpool, Eng.

*“We shall be glad to know if you can put
us in communication with any reliable shipper
of white ash, rock elm and rock maple in
either log, cut to size, or planks and boards.

SHIPPING MATTERS.

The bark Cambria, which sailed from Mont-
real for Buenos Ayres, encountered a severe
storm, and had to jettison its deckload of lum-
ber.

There has been a good inquiry for tonnage,
but it has not resulted in many fixtures. Per-
haps one reason for this is that underwriters are
asking increased premiums this season. The
following charters are reported : Two vessels,
of 1,000 to I,I00 standards, Three Rivers to
w.c. Great Britain, 43s. 9d.; 1,200 standards,
Montreal to w.c. Great Britain, 43s. 9d.; 950
standards, Montreal or Three Rivers to West
Hartlepool, 43s. 9d. f.o.w.; 750 standards,
Montreal to Bristol Channel, 43s. 9d.; 1,350
standards, Miramichi, N.B., to United King-
dom, 42s. 6d., June-July sailing. Some large
engagements have been made with the liners
from Montreal to London at 4os., Liverpool
37s. 6d., Glasgow 4os., and Belfast 42s. 6d.
Chartering from New Brunswick ports is fairly
active, at 42s. 6d. to 43s. 9d., to U.K.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.

ONTARIO.

That the lumber trade is improving is
shown by reports from all sections of
the province. There is a considerable
movement of stock, and everyone is look-
ing forward to a brisk spring business.
Information from the Ottawa valley is to
the effect that although the recent sales
have not been very great, still there have
been a large number of buyers looking for
lumber. They do not seem, however, to
have yet realized that prices. have ad-
vanced all round, and for that reason are
holding off. When they accustom them-
selves to the situation, they will no doubt
enter the market with some liberality, and
good-sized purchases may be _ looked
for. It is a peculiar circumstance that
pine mill culls should continue to
strengthen, although they have now
reached a figure which two years
ago would have been regarded as
entirely out of the question. This year
both pine and hardwood mill men hope to
be able to show a balance on the right
side of the ledger. Prices are fair, demand
good, and stocks light, while the log pro-
duction has not been excessive.

UNITED STATES.

Extreme firmness characterizes the
market for all kinds of lumber in the
United States. There is scarcely a weak
spot to be found, and indications point to
a continuation of these conditions
throughout the season. Dry pine stocks
have practically become exhausted, and a
large proportion of the coming season’s
cut has been contracted for by wholesale
dealers. The requirement has been
chiefly for factory purposes, and as build-
ing operations will commence almost
immediately, the demand will no doubt
be increased materially. Dealers in
tardwoods are putting forth their greatest
efforts to find dry stock. But of this
there is little that has not passed out of
first hands. Nor is it expected that the
new cut will greatly relieve the market, as
much of it has been contracted for and

will go immediately into consumption.

Excessive rains in the south and unfavor-
able weather in other sections rendered it

impossible to put in a full stock of logs.
This has given increased strength to the
hardwood marke.

FOREIGN.

Although the consumption of wood
goods in Great Britain continues active,
stocks have not become reduced to the
extent that was anticipated. At London,
for instance, on March Ist, there were
on public decks 136,185 standards,
against 127,049 standards one year ago.
This increase is largely due to the heavy
stock of Baltic battens, as pine deals are
represented by about the same quantity
as last year, while spruce deals and bat-
tens are nearly 5,000 standards less. It
isno doubt owing to the heavy stocks
held that buyers are not more disposed to
contiact for 1899 goods. Spruce prices
are steadily strengthening, and some sales
of St. Lawrence stocks have been made
at a slight advance over last year’s quota-
tions. The business done has been almost
entirely with importers in England and
Scotland. New Brunswick spruce has
not been contracted for to any extent, as
shippers, asking prices have been re-
garded by importers as too high. An
opinion seems to prevail that the produc-
tion of spruce in the Maritime provinces
will be much greater than is reported, but
this is extremely improbable. Importers
who contract at present prices wiil act
wisely, as prices are more likely to ad-
vance than depreciate later in the year.
There has been some improvement in
pine deals, of which a fair quantity has
been placed. Waney board pine is in
good demand, as is also elm and ash
timber.

The Australian market is suffering from
the effects of over-importation. Stocks of
almost every description of timber shipped
to that market are in excess of demand,
and until these become diminished prices
are certain to be weak. The year, how-
ever, is likely to witness a large con-
sumption.

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.

The market for New Brunswick cedar
shingles, on the whole, is a trifle firmer than
it was one week ago. There is only a small
quantity of shingles offering, and inquiries
from the yards are much more numerous than
they were. There isa tendency on the part
of the better informed manufacturers to ad-
vance prices. Any reasonable advance ought
to be solidly maintained, for the spring busi-
ness is now opening, and stocks are light and
must be replenished. Prices now ruling are,
on basis of Boston delivery, as follows : Extras,
$2.80 to $2.85 ; clears, $2.40 to $2. 50.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
Thomas Boys, of Vankoughnet, has
taken out 22,000 pieces of timber for
Robert Thompson & Company.

The town of Welland, Ont., desires
tenders by the 2oth inst. for the annual
supply of pine plank, oak plank and
scantling. :

The town of Brockville, Ont., wants
tenders by 5 p.m. on the 16 th inst. for the
supply of 100,000 feet of white pine plank
and cedar sills.

Tanner Bros., of Sturgeon Bay, Ont.,
are taking out a large stock of logs this
winter. About 5,000,000 feet have al-
ready been cut.

J.D. McArthur, of Winnipeg, Man.,
has purchased from H. B. Mitchell, of
Selkirk, a small limit and saw millat Dog
Island, Lake Winnipeg.

T. O. Bolger, city engineer of Kingston,
Ont., desires tenders by the 23rd inst. for
the supply of 2 and 1% inch plank, and
40,000 lineal feet of 5x4 inch cedar
sleepers.

Tenders are invited by the city of
Quebec up to 22nd inst. for the annual
supply of deals and other lumber. Ad-
dress, W. D. Baillairge, assistant city
inspector.

McArthur Bros., of Cheboygan, Mich.,
have finished logging on the Georgian
Bay for the season. They have taken
out 4,000,000 feet, which will likely be
manufactured in Canada.

Thackray & Davidson, of Ottawa,
report avery successful season at their
Quyon limits, having gotten out several

thousand loys more than last year. They
have just finished operations in the
woods.

During the month of February last,
there were imported into London from the
St. Lawrence 5,000 pieces of pine deals
and 73,000 pieces of spruce deals, against
6,000 and 4,000 pieces respectively in
1898. The only import from New Bruns-
wick was 4,000 pieces of birch planks.

It is reported that Buchanan Bros., of
Severn Bridge, Ont., have secured a con-
tract from The Brennan Manufacturing
Co., of Hamilton, for cutting and manu-
facturing into lumber and shingles the tim-
ber on a limit in the neighborhood of
Whitney, on the Parry Sound Railway.

The Department of Public Works at
Ottawa are about to undertake the con-
struction of 113 miles of telegraph line in
British Columbia, and invite tenders up to
Monday, March 2oth, for the supply of
the necessary poles. These are to be 25
feet long and not less than 5 inches
diameter at the top; if of cedar, to be
barked above 5 feet from the butt.

It is estimated that the cut of logs on
the head waters of the Miramichi river, in
New Brunswick, will be somewhat lighter
than last winter. Timothy Lynch and
Michael Welsh have each cut about
3,000,000 feet. William Richards, who
jumbers lower down on the Miramichi,
has cut about the same quantity as last
year, and has his logs ready for stream
driving. The winter has been a favorable
cne for lumbering, there being plenty of
frost and just about enough snow.

It may interest Canadian lumber manu-
facturers to learn the price at which yellow
pine is to be supplied to the United States
government for shipment to Cuba. The
bill was for 4,000,000 feet. About four-
fifths of the entire amounts to be delivered
at Havana, and the balance at other Cu-
ban ports. Included in the bill are about
400,000 feet of flooring, 1,100,000 feet of
boxing, and the balance piece stuff, 2 x 3,
3x5,4%4,4%5,4% 6, etc. The contract
was secured by the Lutcher & Moore
Lumber Co., of Orange, Texas, the aver-
age price being $14.80 delivered.

Concerning the Bay City, Mich., «mar-
ket, Mr. L. C. Slade says: “My trade in
January and February was double in
volume that of the corresponding months
last year. There is an extraordinary
demand, and the advance in prices is
well maintamed. Uppers and selects and
No. 3 common and mill culls are well
cleaned up, but in the intermediate grades
there 1s a fair supply. Box is not to be

had on the river, and is held at $11.50
and $12. Mill culls are out of stock,
except the small accumulations of the few
mills in operation, and they are asking
$9.50 for them.” Mr. C. S. Bliss, who is
cutting hardwood and hemlock, states
that there is a big call for special bills,
and his hardwood stock 1s all contracted
for in advance at a much better price than
last year. Hemlock piece stuff, No. 1, is
selling at $9 and $9.50, and No. 2 at
$7.50.

A slight error in the remarks of Messrs.
D. L. White & Co., quoted in last issue,
gave a rather ambiguous meaning to their
review of the Albany market. The para-
graph should have read as follows : “ We
are able to report a marked improvement
in the outlook for 1899. The evidences
are unmistakable of increased activity and
better prices for all kinds of lumber. It
has been in the common grades that the
recovery has been more marked, with an
advance of $1 to $2 per M. But return of
prosperous times will result in an increase
in the consumption of the better grades,
and higher prices may be looked for. The
foreign complications now existing, once
totally brought to an end, and a complete
recovery from late disastrous years having
set in, and confidence restored, the next
few years cannot fail to be as prosperous
as ever known. The iuipetus in that
direction already and increase in all
branches of trade are borne out by the
statistics published since the new year.
Over-production of lumber alone will pre-
vent a healthy and profitable business.”

THE GLASGOW MARKET.

Of the Glasgow market Allison, Cousland &
Company say :

WHITE PINE—WANEY.—There has been a

average, is quo ted at 2s 6d to 2s 8d; 2nd class,
15d to 2s per cubic foot. SQuarg.—The
demand has been very light, and little business

figures.

RED PINE.—Little or no business has been
done, and prices are unaltered at 144d to 154d

broad, £24 1s 3d to £24 15s; undersized £17
3s od to £19 5s per St. Pet. std. Seconds,—
There has been little demand, and that princi-

price. Quotations, regulars, £9 12s 6d to £10
13s Id; undersized, £7 4s 4d to £8 5s per St.
Pet. std. Fourths.—Although the prices have
improved, the demand has been very dull.

undersized, £9 3s 9d to £6 10s 7d per St. Pet.
std.

Albert Hirsch, formerly a wholesale lumber
dealer of New York city, has filed a petition

practically no assets.

TRADE CONDITIONS IN LIVERPOOL.

From timber circulars to hand the following
particulars of the Liverpool market are ob-
tained : ?

WuitE PINE TIMBER.—There has been a
good demand during the month for waney board
pine, the deliveries amounting to 28,000 feet,
but square wood is dull of sale. Stocks are
now light, and prospects fair for next season’s
imports.

RED PiNg.-—The deliveries have been of a
retail character, and stocks are sufficient for
probable requirements.

Oak Locs.—The consumption during Feb-
ruary amounted to only 6,000 feet. Stocks
are ample and 2nd quality wood is very diffi-
cult tosell. For prime wood values are steady.

Ei_m.—No change to report. Values are
steady and stock slight.

BircH.—Logs are in good demand, stocks
are now low and prices firm. The import of
planks has been heavy, but the consumption
has been good. Stocks, however, are exces-
sive, and values show no improvement.

PINE DEALS, SIDINGS, ETC.—Deliveries
have been fairly good, but stocks remain ex-
cessive, and there is no improvement in values
to report.

N. B. anD.N. S. SprucE DrAts.—The
deliveries daring February have been satisfac-
tory, and stocks are now comparatively light,
especially in long lengths and wide deals. The
import was 2,064 standards, in parcels, by
steamer, and sales of these have been made at
about 46 5s for St. John’s. For next season’s
imports sellers are demanding higher prices.

QUEBEC SpRUCE Deats.—Stocks are light
and prices firm.

CORRECTION.

A typographical error in our issue of March
8th made it appear that the lumber shipments
of the Charlemagne & Lac Oureau Lumber
Company from Montreal last year were
1,494,000 feet, whereas their total exports
were nearly 13,000,000 feet, a good showing
for an individual manufacturing company.

N. N. Bentley’s saw mill at Lower Five
Islands, Colchester county, N. S., was destroy-
cd by fireon March 2nd, The loss is estimated
at $2,000.

TEE BAABADOS MARKET.

The following particulars of the Barbados
lumber market are found in S. P. Masson,
Son & Co.’s monthly report :

LuMBER.—In our last we noted arrival of
the ‘Prohibition’ and ‘Comrade.’ Former’s
cargo consisted of 35 M merchantable, 17 M
2nd quality and 12 M plank (white pine); 81
M spruce, 15 M hemlock boards, and 5 M
hemlock plank ; it was sold for Trinidad at
$15.50 round. Latter’s consisted of 29 M
merchantable w. pine, 39 M merchantable and
3 M 2nd quality spruce, and 30 M spruce
shingles were sold at St. Vincent. Since these
the * B. R. Woodside,’ from St. John, N. B.,
has arrived with 86 M merchantable and 70 M
2nd quality white pine, which were placed at
. $14 round ; and the ‘Edward D,’ from Bridge-
water, brought 30 M merchantable, 113 M 2nd
quality white pine, which was sold by wire for
Trinidad at $13.25 net. The market is amply
stocked with white pine, and a cessation of
arrivals for some time is very necessary to
enable stocks to be worked down. Spruce is
in quite moderate stock. The ‘ Woodside’
had 5 M merchantable and 4o M 2nd quality,
which were sold at $14.60 and $10.60 re-
spectively. Prices should go no lower unless
receipts are free.

SHINGLES.—The ‘Duart Castle’ brought
415 M Long Gaspe and 6 inch cedar shingles,
to others, and 226 m to selves ; former were
placed at $5 05, and we sold ours at $5.13.
We had also some 3, 4, 5 and 6 inch cedar

shingles, 50 to the bundle, which we placed at
$3.16, $4.17, $5.18 and $6 respectively. In
laying cedar the ‘B. R. Woodside’ brought
2 million in fulfilment of contract, and the
*Duart Castle’ 243 M, which were of very
good quality, and bronght $2.13. We placed
the 58 m spruce laying mentioned in our last,
ex ‘ Jennie Lockwood,’ at $2.25, and sold a
small lot cedar laying to arrive at $207. In
cypress the lot by ‘M H Dudley’ mentioned
in our last, 6x22, and of very nice quality,
were sold at $9.03 hearts and $6.50 saps.

REDUCTION IN LUMBER DUTY.

Mr. D. M. Rennie, Commercial Agent at
Buenos Aires, sends the CANADA LUMBER-
MAN the following explanation of the reduction
on lumber which has been made by the govern-
ment there: ‘*‘I cabled to Ottawa on 1st Feb-
ruary that the government had conceded the
reduction in valuation of unplaned spruce lum-
ber, as petitioned for on 2nd June last. The
duty will be, until Dec. 31, 1899, $6.00 per
thousand feet, the reduction being $2.43.. The
duty on white pine and pitch pine remains the
same, viz., $8.42 per thousand feet. On
December 31st, 1899, the special duty of 10
per cent. imposed in September last, for ex-
pense of war material and mobilization, will
cease to be collected. This will mean a
further reduction on spruce of $2.18 and on
white and pitch pine of $3.05 per thousand.
The duty on spruce will then be the same as
in 1897.”

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

Snow storms in all sections of the pro-
vince have interfered with the movement
of lumber during the past week. The
trade, nevertheless, is in a prosperous
condition, and numerous enquiries con-
tinue to be received for lumber of all
grades. These enquiries are not confined
to the home market, but come also from
United States houses. There is a scar-
city even of pine lumber, and some of the
mills on the Georgian Bay have disposed
of their entire dry stock. Since January
Ist last prices of white pine have ad-
vanced $1.50 per thousand, and Norway
bill stuff $1 per thousand. Some manu-
facturers have a small stock which they
are holding for higher prices. The
urgency of demand seems to pertain to
common and low grade lumber, and par-
ticularly such stock as is adapted for box-
making. There are but few shingles
which have not passed out of first hands.
Laths are also low in stock and firm in
price.

Dealers are experiencing much difficulty
in locating any quantity of dry hardwood
lumber ; in fact, orders are being refused
owing to inability to purchase the stock.
This condition will be relieved to some
extent when the mills resume operations,
although it is not expected that the supply
will equal the demand for most kinds of
hardwoods. There were taken out in
Western Ontario during the past winter a
large quantity of maple logs, and there is
a possibility that as these are manu-
factured and the lumber placed upon the
market, prices will weaken. Log-run
maple is being held at $12 at the mill,
a figure which we do not think will be
maintained. In basswood, elm and ash
there is no reason to expect any reduction
in present prices, but on the other hand
manufacturers should not expect to ad-

vance quotations unreasonably. The mill
men are offering their production as log
run “and in some cases refuse to consider
propositions for graded stock. It 1s
learned that contracts have been entered
into for mill cuts of the coming season at
$I5.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Lumbermen in the province of Quebec
are somewhat dissatisfied with the outlook
for local trade. The season so far has
been backward, and unless conditions 1m-
prove, it will be difficult to advance prices,
although present quotations leave a mar-
gin of profit altogether inadequate. The
larger manufacturers cutting for export
trade hope to sell their production at
Prices equal to those of last year. In
New Brunswick trade prospects are im-
proving, and the shipments to Great
Britain, France, South America and the
West Indies will likely consume the bulk
of theseason’s production of export lumber.
An average domestic trade is also looked
for, as, in addition to the usual building
operations, extensive harbor improve-
ments at St. John are likely to be under-
taken.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,

The spring trade in Manitoba and
British Columbia has not yet commenced
in full force, yet the lumber market is very
strong. Prices are advancing, and
dealers are stocking up in anticipation of
a large demand this year. Steps have
been taken by both the manufacturers and
dealers which are likely to result in plac-
ing the trade on a better footing. The
Rat Portage mills supplying the Manitoba
market have made a 50 cent advance on
No. 1 and No. 2 red pine, No. 3 finishing,
1,1 and 2 inch red pine selects, and
No. 3 clear white pine. No. 1 and No.2
white pine have made the substantial ad-
vance of $3.50, while laths are marked
down five cents. The classification of
boards has been changed so that ten to
eighteen feet are now quoted at the same
price all through. British Columbia sid-
ing, ceiling and flooring were recently
advanced $1, which places flooring $2
higher than last fall. British Columbia
red cedar shingles are quoted at $2.25 for
No. 1, and $2 for No. 2, delivered in
Winnipeg. Some Washington shingles
are being offered in Manitoba at $2.10,
but they are said to be of no better
quality than British Columbia No. 2.

The retail dealers have taken similar
action to that of the manufacturers, and
have issued a new price list showing an

Il.

advance on various classes of lumber.
They have also agreed to adhere closely
to this list, and hope in this way to doa
more profitable business. Last year
cutting of prices was carried on to an un-
reasonable extent, and consequently few
of the dealers made a fair margin of
profit.
UNITED STATES.

In the northern and eastern states the
season has been backward, causing a
delay of the usual spring call for lumber.
Notwithstanding this, wholesale dealers
have entered the market with a marked
degree of liberality, and some large stocks
of lumber have been contracted for.
Eastern dealers have purchased freely in
Wisconsin and on the upper lakes, the
advanced prices asked by manufacturers
seeming to have no deterrent effect. In
the pine trade the chief interest pertains
to box lumber, and it is a question diffi-
cult’of solution as to where the stock will
be obtained to keep the factories in opera-
tion. Mill culls are selling at from $7 to
$8, and holders show no anxiety to dispose
of their stock even at these figures. Al-
though during the past winter there was a
heavy input of logs, it is unlikely that the
production of box lumber will exceed the
requirements before June or July, so that
present prices will likely be maintained
throughout the season. The spruce mar-
ket has also a stronger tone, and short
lumber is likely to witness a good spring
demand. The call for shingles, lath and
clapboards is likewise improving.

Under a strong demand, hardwood
prices are still strengthening, but as many
mills will shortly resume operations, It 1s
thought that the limit has about been
reached. Large stocks of birch, elm, ash,
maple and basswood have been put under

contract.
FOREIGN.

Advices from the British market tell of
an active consumption of wood goods and
a slight improvement in prices for delivery
to consumers. At several of the ports the
stock of spruce and pine is becoming re-
duced, and it is thought that importers
will this month show a greater disposition
to contract for new stock. When they
realize that the production of lumber in
Canada this year is likely to be slightly
below the average in quantity, they will
no doubt contract more freely for their re-
quirements.

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.

Prices of cedar shingles have again advanced,
market quotations now being as follows, de-
livered strictly on Boston freight rates :
Extras, $2.85 to $2.90; Clears, $2.45 to $2.50;
Saps and 2nd Clears, $1.90 to $2. The indi-
cations now are much in favor of continued
advances. The winter mills are practically
cleaned out of all grades, and have already
accepted enough orders to consume all that
can be made before they are obliged to shut
down ; in fact, a number of winter mill opera-
tors are oversold, and are scurrying around
amongst themselves in an endeavor to replace
some of their accepted orders at figures that
will allow them to escape without loss, but
they are finding a great deal of difficulty in so
replacing such orders. It is yet about two
months before the summer mills can start.
Before that time, there must be a great dearth
of shingles, and operators who can supply the
goods will then be able to get their asking
price without questions. It will be unwise to
accept orders, this year for anything but
immediate delivery.

en

STOCKS AND PRICES.

The High Commissioner in London,
Eng., has received enquiries for addresses
of Canadian shippers of wood pulp and
walnut and birch logs.

At Alpena, Mich., sales of black ash
are being made at $17 per thousand, elm
at $10, and hemlock at $8 and $9. Mill
culls are selling as high as $9.

J.D. McArthur’s men have finished
cutting logs on the Bird Tail Creek limits
to the north of Birtle, Man., and are now
preparing for the drive. The logs will be
cut at the Birtle mill.

The Columbia River Lumber Co., of
Golden, B.C., have had 2,000,000 ft. of
logs taken out this winter at Blaeberry.

These will be floated into the Columbia
river by means of a chute.

It is announced that F. P. R. Graves,
of Saginaw, Mich., has contracted for
the shingle timber on 10,000 acres of land
near Spanish river, Ont., and that he will
build a shingle mill at that point.

Three timber berths on the Tattagouche
river, in New Brunswick, aggregating 25
square miles, were sold at the crown lands
office, Fredericton, N. B., last week, to
Sunner & Co., at the upset price of $8 per
mile.

W. W. Harris, a pulp wood contractor
in the Sudbury district, states that during
1898 he handled over 100,000, cords of
wood, principally poplar. The supply of
wood in that district, he says, is practic-
ally inexhaustible.

J. A. Christie, of Brandon, Man., had
about 150 men at work this winter in each
of his logging camps at Shell River and
on the McLaren-Shields limit which he
recently purchased. The logs cut on
these limits will be sawn at his mill at
Brandon.

-J. D. McArthur, who has purchased the
lumbering business of H. B* Mitchell at
Selkirk, Man., will operate the plant on
an extensive scale this winter. The pur-
chase includes the mill at Selkirk, exten-
sive timber limits on Lake Winnipeg, lum-
ber on hand, etc.

J. R. McConell, the well known lumber-
man of Marysville, N. B., has finished
operations on the Aroostook river. The
cut in that vicinity was about 2,500,00 feet.
Mr. McConnell has disposed of all his
lumber to the Ashland Lumber Co., at a
very satisfactory figure.

The Department of Trade and Com-
merce at Ottawa has received a communi-
cation from Mr. W. Grey-Wilson, C.M.G.,
Governor of the Falkland Islands, asking
for quotations for specified quantities of
lumber, chiefly pitch pine and white pine.
The quantity figures up to about 250,000
feet.

J. E. McCollum, who has been lumber-
ing on atributary of the Tobique river,
in New Brunswick, estimates the produc-
tion of logs on that river this winter at
about. 18,000,000 feet, as against 24,000,-
ooo feet last year. Most of this is spruce,
although R. K. Beveridge, W. Reed and
L. Reed got out a quantity of red pine.

Inness, Homeon & Co. are cuting
1,000,000 feet of pulp wood for the Acadia
Pulp Company, near Liverpool, N.S. G.
A. Colp is getting out a million feet of
pulp wood in the same neighborhood. D.
C. Mulhall and J. A. Hunt are cutting a
large quantity near Liverpool for them-
selves and for the Acadia Pulp Company.

The trade returns for the Dominion
for the eight months ending February 28th
last show an increase in the aggregate
trade of the country of $11,640,441, as
compared with the same period of last
year. Produce of the forest was exported
to the value of $20,292,289, as against
$20,599,540 for the corresponding period
one year ago.

The Nova Scotia government has just
granted a lease for 30 years of timber
limits in Victoria and Inverness counfies,
Cape Breton, N. S., to three American
capitalists, Messrs. L. Sanborn and Robt.
B. Blodgett, of Boston, and Daniel F.
Emery, jr., of Portland, Me. The limits
comprise nearly 1,000 square miles, and
are leased for the purpose of converting
the timber thereon into pulp and paper.
The purchasers will form a company, to be
known as The North American Paper and
Pulp Co., Ltd.

THE GLASGOW MARKET,

Messrs. Edmiston & Mitchell, of Glasgow,
Scotland, review the lumber market as follows :

Quebec shippers and others have been going
their rounds, and this has occupied the atten-
tion of brokers and buyers. Considerable bus-
iness has been done, both on c.f. and f.o.b.
erms, in Quebec white pine, red pine, elm, ash,
and spruce, while lower port Spruce, although
not bought so freely as last year, has neverthe-
less been largely dealt in, The reduction of
Baltic whitewood prices has prevented any
business in Canadian spruce with the east coast
of Scotland.

Scotch shipbuilders launched 29,000 tons of
shipping during February. This amount would
have been considerably greater had it not been
for the fact that it is next to impossible to get
material out of the steel manufacturers’ hands, so
great is the pressure of work. The amount of
fresh work ‘booked is of the most meagre de-
scription. This is accounted for by the fact
that prices have advanced so much that owners
will not increase their fleets at the figures de-
manded.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.

ONTARIO,

The recent snowfalls have lengthened
the logging season, and all timber cut
will likely be gotten out of the woods. It
is not yet known just how the past winter’s
production of pine logs will compare with
that of Jast year, although the opinion
has been expressed that in the Georgian
Bay district it will be slightly heavier, and
that in the Ottawa valley there will bea
reduced output.

The backwardness of spring has affect-
ed the volume of lumber moving, atlhough
favorable reports continue to be received
of the present and prospective demand.
Several manufacturers in the Ottawa
valley have disposed of their 1899 pro-
duction, and the fact that probable buyers
have of late been numerous leads to the
Opinion that other transactions will soon
follow. Low grade and common
stock seems to be in most demand, some
of the mills having closed contracts for 75
per cent. of their cut at an advance of
from 15 to 20 per cent. on last year’s
quotations. While the cheif interest per-
tains to the lower grades, there is also a
fair demand for good lumber. Dry stock
does not cut any figure in the market, the
quantity in first hands being very small.

Manufacturers of hardwood lumber are
adhering to their decision to sell their
lumber as mill run. This is limiting the
volume of business, as there is frequently
a disparity between the value of log run
stock as fixed by the dealer and that in
the mind of the manufacturer. As an off-
set to the increased price of raw material
the furniture and chair manufacturers
have advanced prices of finished goods.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Local trade in Quebec and New Bruns-
wick has been rather backward, but an
increased number of enquiries for lumber
and shingles have been received from the
Eastern States, and these are likely to be
followed by orders. Buying for the
British market is showing more life, and
as the season advances and the actual
extent of stocks becomes better known, a
change of attitude will no doubt be shown.
Some purchases of deals have been made
at $9.50 per thousand f.o.b. Grindstone
Island and St. John, N. B. This is an
advance upon last year’s quotations, but
still too low to leave a fair margin of
profit to the manufacturer. The general
opinion is that prices will advance, es-
pecially if caution is exercised by both
manufacturers and shippers.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,

Dealers in Manitoba and the Terri-
tories look forward to a good season’s
trade, as tenders are being taken in
Winnipeg and the larger towns on many
new buildings. While the demand for
lumber for immediate delivery is not
large, the enquiries received indicate that
dealers realize the necessity of increasing
their stocks at an early date. Country
trade has continued later than usual, but
this will soon be terminated by the ap-

proach of the seeding season. It is
learned that three Uuited States houses
this year have representatives in Winni-
peg, these being the Pine Tree Lumber
Co., the Crookston & St. Hillaire Lumber
Co., and the Brainerd Lumber Co. In
British Columbia the lumber trade is
experiencing an active local demand on
account of increased building operations,
and prices are a trifle firmer.

UNITED STATES,

The recent cold weather and accom-
panying snow falls greatly improved
logging couditions in the Northern States,
and it is probable that the input of both
pine and hardwood logs will be nearly as
heavy as was anticipated early in the
season. In view of this, the movement
of lumber from first hands has shown a
falling off of late, as dealers believe that
procucers’ prices are too high, and are
deferring purchases until after the open-
ing of the sawing season. From present
indications, it does not appear that prices
are likely to weaken, as magnitude of
demand and scarcity of supply are strong
features of the market. All-round advan-
ces continue to be made on pine and hem-
lock at mill points, and it is learned that
two-inch hemlock is held at $7.25 and
$8.25 f.0.b. Manistee, Mich. Box lumber 1s
practically out of the market, and other
grades are being purchased to meet the
requirements of the manufacturers. Lath
is very firm, white pine having advanced
to $2 inthe Chicago market.

FOREIGN.

The transactions in Canadian wood
goods in the British market have been
more numerous of late. Building is active,
and consumers are purchasing more
liberally to meet their season’s require-
ments. At London a considerable quan-
tity of pine and spruce lumber has been
disposed of at auction sales, which has had
a tendency to depreciate values. Gener-
ally, however, prices are firmer. Third
quality spruce is held at £7 Ios, and in
all probability another advance will be
made before the. arrival of spring ship-
ments. The holders of spruce at Liver-
pool are asking higher prices, especially
for favorite dimensions. A fair amount
of business.is being done on contracting
for goods to arrive, and brokers are
adopting a stronger attitude.

The receipts on the Barbadoes market
have shown a falling off, and consequently
prices have a tendency to strengthen,
Elsewhere will be found current quota-
tions.

II.

® CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.

In the New England states the weather of
the past week has been exceptionally disagree-
able, and building operations are ata stand-
still as aresult. In spite of the Jack of demand,
cedar shingle values are said to be firmly main-
tained asa rule, and quotations are as follows,
delivered on Boston freight rates: Extras, $2.85
to $2.90; clears, $2.45 to $2.50; saps and 2nd
clears, $1.90 to $2.00. The season for build-
ing operations to commence with a rush is
now near at hand, and it would seem that
within a short time the usual spring demand
for shingles will begin. It can safely be stated
that whenit does begin, prices on all grades
will rapidly climb to such figures as are satis-
factory to the manufaclurers, and at which
they are perfectly willing to dispose of their
product, for the retailers are only lightly
stocked and must have the goods. It is not
believed that there is any variety of shingles
made that can supplant the New Brunswick
cedar in the New England market in any
degree whatever until the latter has passed the
basis of $3.25 for extras,

There is, then, a strong hope that the manu-
facturers will realize their full opportunity and
avail themselves of it. For the last few years
in shingles, as well as in all kinds of lumber,
the buyer has unifoimly been able to dictate
the price. To-day the reverse is true, and the
manufacturers have almost full control. The
indications are that they realize the strength of
their position, and intend to have for one year
at least a fair margin on their product. In
this, shingles only sympathize with all other
varieties of lumber in the United States
markets, and retail dealers now so thoroughly
understand that all lines are advancing steadily
that they much more willingly accept advances
and place orders immediately for their needs,
when in want, for fear of continued advances.
The shingle manufacturers, therefore, to avail
themselves fully oftheir opportunity, should
read the trade papers thoroughly, and keep
posted from week to week as to the exact state
of the market.

When giving quotations, manufacturers
should make them for immediate acceptance
only, and should not allow commission whole-
sale houses to foist orders upon them at less
than the figures they have quoted. When
receiving orders more rapidly than they are
producing the goods, they should advance
prices and hold firmly to the advance. This
year it is a manulacturers’ market, and any
reasonable advances all along the line are
likely to be maintained.

One unfortunate feature of this particular
line of business in years gone by, has been the
fact that the average manufacturer of shingles
has depended very largely for his knowledge of
market prices upon wholesale commission
houses, who were supposed to represent the
manufacturer, truthfully tell him the position
of the market, and give him current quotations,
as well as sell his'shingles. For these services
such wholesale houses were supposed to derive
as their ,remuneration a commission of 5 per
cent. Asa matter of fact these commission
houses, being in the business from pecuniary
motives, frequently report a lower price than
actual current figures, with the object of
thereby being themselves in a position to
quote a Itttle under their commission competi-
tors, and secure more than their share of
orders. In cases where they could easily
secure full values and more than they had
quoted as current figures, it was, and stillis,
an easy matter for the commission house to
pocket the difference (between price obtained
and price allowed the manufacturer as market
value) to add to their commission. The only
feasible way, therefore, for a manufacturer to
protect his own interest (and nobody will pro-
tect it for him, certainly not his wholesale
commission representatives), is to know for
himself what his goods are worth, and then
see that his wholesale friends pay for shingles
accordingly, and that they are not left to sell
goods for any price that suits themselves and
is anywhere near market value, obliging the
manufacturer to pocket the loss between what
he actually received and what he should have
received, and also at the same time breaking
the market, and establishing a precedent for
himself as well as others to follow in the
future.

Another abuse of confidence on the part of
the wholesale commission house toward the
manufacturer, has been the sending of orders
that call for a greater or less arbitrary freight
rate over Boston rates, to a manufacturer at
Boston prices, or only a very slight advance
on Boston prices and not enough to cover the
extra freight. All manufacturers should say to
their representatives : ‘‘ You are more familiar
with arbitrary freight points and exira freight
thereto than we can possibly be ; we therefore
quote you prices on Boston freight rates only,
and any arbitrary points will be covered by our
invoicing to you at our quotations at Boston

points, and we will allow you to deduct only
Boston rates.” In this way the commission
houses will be obliged to look out for them-
selves, and they are perfectly capable of doing
it.

The outlook for the manufacturers this year
is very bright, and if they will only take the full
control of their sales into their own hands, we
are sure they will be amply repaid therefore.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

At Saginaw, Mich., box lumber is sell-
ing at $11.50 to $12.50, mill culls at $8.50
e $9.50, and Norway bill stuff at $9.50 to

ite

J. & R. McLeod, of Black River, N.B.,
manufactured with a portable mill over
one million feet of deals during the past
winter.

A timber berth on the Restigouche river,
in New Brunswick, was sold by the Crown
Lands Department last week to F. B. Cole-
man, at $75 per mile.

It is probable that the saw mill of Wm.
Peters at Parry Sound, Ont., will be oper-
ated the coming season, and that the mill
in Bay City which was run last year
will not resume operations.

It is estimated that about 10,000,000
feet of white birch spoolwood will be
shipped from Bangor, Maine, this year to
Great Britain. The greatest amount
shipped in any previous year was 7,000,000
feet.

It is reported that the St. Anthony
Lumber Co., of Whitney, Ont., have sold
several million feet of lumber at an ad-
vance of $2 per thousand over the price
obtained for the same grade of stock two
months ago.

The mill of the Conger Lumber Co. at
Parry Sound, Ont., will probably resume
operations this season. It is said that the
company are negotiating for a contract to
cut 10,000,000 feet of lumber, and that they
will also cut 3,000,000 feet of their own
logs.

Very little lumber is in the hands of
manufacturers at Manistee, Mich. As
high as $12 has been paid for common
inch, and lots of pine piece stuff have been
sold at $11.25 to $11.50 for 18-foot and
under. There are no Jath to be had, and
probably $1.75 would be paid for good
white pine on dock.

American owners of Ontario limits are
said to be making active preparations for
cutting their logs inthe province. Accord-
ing to report, Turner & Fisher, of Sagi-
naw, Mich., have given a contract to Chew
Bros., of Midland, Ont., to manufacture
15,000,000 feet of their cul of 24,000,000
feet, while James Playfair & Co., of same
place, will manufacture the remainder.

Hardwood lumber is selling on the
Chicago market at the following prices :
Dry basswood, firsts and seconds, $22 ;
common and better, $18; log run, $14 ;
soft elm, common and better, $16; red
birch, $40 to $50; white birch, firsts and
seconds, $26 to $28 for inch and $28 to
$35 for thick; common and better, $20 ;
thick ash, $45. As to pine prices, it is
thought that the opening price for piece
stuff will be about $11. Low grade boards
are very scarce, No.3 being held at $10.50.

Messrs. Bennetts, Limited, held an
auction sale of lumber at Manchester,
Eng., on March 16th, the prices realized
being about as follows: Spruce scantlings,
£5 15s. per std.; spruce boards, 1x5 and
6, £6 10s.; birch planks, £6 12s. 6d. to
£6 15s.; 2nd quality Petersburg red
boards, £9 15s. to £10; Ist quality Peters-
burg red battens, 2344 x7, £10; Ist qual-
ity log pine boards, in. to 2 in, thick,
1%d. per foot; 2nd quality log pine
boards, various sizes, 1 44d. to 2d. per foot ;
pitch pine boards, various sizes, 1 %d. to
14d. per foot.

At an auction sale held by M’Dowall &
Neilson, Greenock, Scotland, on March
gth, the business done was as follows: 40
logs ist class waney boardwood, 860 feet
per page, 2s. 2d. per cubic foot ; 40 logs
Ist class waney boardwood, 700 feet per

434d, to 2s. 544d., and about 5,000 pine
and spruce ends, etc., from 63%d. to 83d.
per foot.

THE BARBADOS MARKET.

From the market report of Messrs. S. P.
Musson, Son & Co. the following particulars
of the Barbados market are obtained : Receipts
of lumber have not been heavy of late, which
has had a tendency to strengthen prices. The
schooner Florence A arrived from Calais,
Maine, early in March, with 25 M ft. spruce
boards and 22 M ft. 3x4 spruce scantling, the
former being sold at $11.31 and the latter at
$12.03 ; indications point to an improvement in
spruce. The sale recorded is of 53 M ft. white
pine boards at $19.34 shipping and $12.56
second quaiity. One or two medium sized
car loads of first and second quality white
pine would be saleable at about these prices.
A quantity of cedar laying shingles have been
sold at $2.85. The schooner Eureka recently
arrived from Halifax, with 78,000 cedar
shingles, which were sold at $3.16. The
schooner Stella E from Lunenburg, N. S.,
carried 30 M shipping and 50 M second quality
white pine, sold at $19.11 and $13,25 respec-
tively.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

“Yt is much more difficult to buy lum-
ber than to sell it,” was the reply of a
Toronto wholesale dealer to an enquiry
as to the condition of trade. These
words well illustrate the strength of the
market, and are applicable to all kinds of
lumber, with the exception, perhaps, of a
few grades of pine. The demand is
stéadily increasing, and there is a bouy-
ancy in the trade which has not been
experienced for several years. But for a
backward spring, which has retarded out-
door operations in the northern sections,
there would be even greater activity. In
Toronto the building season is further
advanced than in the other cities, and
architects are busy superintending the
erection of, and preparing plans for, pro-
jected structures. Indications point to a
good local trade in lumber, and prices are
stiffening. United States houses have
done some buying during the past week.
Owing to the improved demand and
scarcity of stock in the Eastern States,
they are turning their attention to this
country for supplies, especially of box
lumber. There is little change in the
hardwood trade. Some of the mills have

resumed operations and are shipping
lumber close up to the saw.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

A number of vessels have been chart-
ered to carry lumber from Montreal and
Quebec to Great Britain, and the opening
of navigation will witness about the usual
activity. As will be seen by the quota-
tions given elsewhere, reasonable rates
are being given by the steamship com-
panies. It is believed that more than an
average quantity of tonnage will be offer-
ing this year. Shippers of spruce deals
have not succeeded in placing as much
stock as they might desire, but are holding
firmly to quotations, and expect that
British importers will be more willing to
contract even at higher prices later in the
season. In New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia there was but a light production of
logs during the past winter, and should
any proportion of these be hung up, the
cut of lumber will be scarcely equal to the
demand. In view of this possibility, it
would seem to be a wise policy to contract
for requirements at present prices.

UNITED STATES.

The condition of the white pine trade
of the United States is of the most encour-
aging nature. Never in the history of
the business has so much stock been sold
in the Duluth-Superior district for early
shipment. The estimated season’s cut of
the mills in that vicinity is 370,000,000
feet, nearly two-thirds of which has already
been contracted for. In the east white
pine stocks are low. New York is re-
ported to have a shortage of stock on
hand of 150,000,000 feet or more, Buffalo
has little lumber, Tonawanda stocks are
broken, and the supplies at Albany are
much below the average quantity. Under
these circumstances, and as the new stock
will not be in condition for use for about
three months, the market is naturally very
strong. It is also worthy of note that
thus far the demand for lumber has come
almost entirely from manufacturing indus-
tries ; but now that lumber for building
purposes will shortly represent an import-
ant factor, there will certainly be much
scurrying around to locate stock to supply
the wants of customers. The scarcity of
box material has become more intense,
and anything in the shape of low grade
pine, basswood and poplar finds a ready
market. The remarks as to the condition
of the pine trade will in some degree
apply to the spruce market. In New
York spruce is particularly strong, and,
encouraged by the improved _ busi-
ness outlook, manufacturers and dealers

Il.

are asking higher prices. At Boston
frames of 9 inch and under are held at
$15, Io and 12 inch at $16, and random
about $13 to $15.

There has been no weakening of the
hardwood market. In the northern dis-
tricts the late favorable logging weather
has permitted of a heavy input of logs,
but this is offset by unsatisfactory condi-
tions in the south, so that the production
of hardwoods for the season is not likely
to be unusually large. Some mill operat-
ors in the north are refusing to considera
lower price than $23 for log run oak at
the mill, $14 to $16 for basswood, $14 for
maple and $16 for soft elm. There is an
unprecedented demand for basswood
siding, and the supply seems inadequate.

FOREIGN.

There is little change to record in the
position of the British market. Stocks
are becoming reduced, and the tendency
of the trade is towards greater activity.
It is true, nevertheless, that importers
have not disposed of as much stock as
usual, buyers seemingly holding off in the
hope of securing better terms. That these
will be offered is extremely ,doubtful, as
Baltic goods, the chief competitor of
Canadian timber, are selling several shil-
lings higher than Jast year. Spruce deals
are in good demand at the leading ports,
and recent shipments per regular liners
from St. John and Halifax have been dis-
posed of at good prizes for all sizes except
7X3, for which there is little demand.
Pine prices are also held firmly, although
the demand is not so active. Birch is
steady, and at recent auction sales real-
ized good prices.

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES,

An active demand for New Brunswick cedar
shingles has not started as yet, owing to the
continuance of cold and inclement weather.
In spite of this there is a sufficient movement
of shingles to keep stocks very low at producing
points, and actual consumption is sufficient to
prevent any increase of stocks in retail hands.
The maintenance of full prices by the manu-
facturers shows the full strength of the market,
and it can safely be stated that a period of
warm weather and consequent increased de-
mand will cause prices to advance rapidly. A
few of the manufacturers who are financially
able realize the terdency towards higher prices,
and are holding their stock, figuring to get a
considerable advance on present quotations in-
side of another month or six weeks. We be-
lieve this to be good judgment, for it will
likely he two months before any considerable
quantity of shingles will be available. Present
quotations, on basis of Boston freight rate, are
as follows: Extras, $2.80 to $2.90; clears,
$2.45 to $2.50; clear whites and 2nd class,
$1.85 to $1.90.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
R. P. Sorley, of Economy, N.S., has
lately purchased a tract of timber land in
‘that vicinity from A. Y. Corbett.

The city of Winnipeg, Man., is adver-
tising for tenders for the supply of from
500,000 to 1,500,000 feet of lumber.

Shingles are in strong demand at
Buffalo, and the stock on hand is rapidly
being depleted. There is a scarcity of
16 in. clear butt. y

Wm. Creswell, foreman for M. M. Boyd
& Co., of Bobcaygeon, is making arrange-
ments for driving all the logs on the
Burnt river this season. M. M. Boyd &
Co. will bring down about 3,000,000 feet.

Good logs are selling at Saginaw,
Mich., at from $10 to $14. Manufac-
turers whose supply from Canada has

been cut off are making every effort to
secure a sufficient quantity of logs to keep
their mills running this season.

Mr. Eames, superintendent of lumber
camps for D. E. Sprague, of Winnipeg,
states that the log cut of the past winter
has been the best since he has been

- operating on Mud creek. The cut now

banked amounts to 15,000 logs.

James Hunter, of Glasgow, Scotland,
has secured the contract for the season’s
supply of Quebec spruce deals to the
Singer Manufacturing Co. The contract
for New Brunswick spruce deals for same
firm has been secured by Robinson, Dunn
& Co.

The W. & A. McArthur Co., of Che-
boygan, Mich., have completed logging
operations on the Georgian Bay, their cut
being 9,500,000 feet. Of this, 5,500,000
feet, cut on Indian reserves, will be
rafted to Cheboygar, while the remainder
will be manufactured in Ontario.

On the Penobscot and Kennebec rivers,
in Maine, the cut of logs during the past
winter was about 250,000,000 feet, of
which perhaps 50,000,000 feet will be for
the supply of pulp mills. The cut on the
Penobscot was about the same as last
year, but on the Kennebec it was con-
siderably larger.

John E. Moore, of St. John, N.B., has
purchased from Irving R. Todd, of Mill-
town, the Todd property at Bonny river,
Charlotte county, New Brunswick. The
property consists of 84 square miles of
timber lands, 4,000 acres of yranted lands,a
sawmill, store, boarding house, etc., and
the price paid is given as $25,000. It is
said that Mr. Moore will commence
operations on the property at once.

At a recent sale held by Wm. Graham,
Dublin, Ireland, the following prices were
realized: Quebec spruce deals—12 ft., 3 x
Il in., £11 5s; 12 ft.,9x3in., £11 12s 6d.

A. F. & D. Mackay, of Liverpool, Eng.,
held an auction sale on Match 22nd,
when 1,371 birch logs, from St. John, N.
B., were disposed of. The prices ob-
tained were as follows: 28 in. and up, 24d
per foot ; 19-19% in., 21d ; ‘183 in., 20d ;
18 in., 194d; 17% in, 183d; 17-10,

in., 1734d; 15in., 17d; 14% in., 16} ;
14 in., 154d. A parcel of birch timber,
containing 66 logs, averaging about 1534
in, from Halifax, N.S., was sold at 15 4d
per foot, and another parcel averaging
154 in. at 1534d.

It is reported that the Hawkesbury
Lumber Co., of Hawkesbury, Ont., have
sold the bulk of their 1899 production to
W. & J. Sharples, of Quebec, and that
Watson & Todd have secured the cut of
Messrs. Hurdman, of Ottawa, which last
year went to Dobell, Beckett & Co. J.
Burstall & Co. are said to have purchased

BUFFALO AND TONAWANDA.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.]

There is good evidence that the demand
for jumber is not falling off, nor is the supply
increasing. It is much of a race, especially on
the part of the hardwood dealers, for the stock
that consumers must have in order to keep
business going. Even the pine sections are
reporting that stock is not plenty, and it is no
secret that a great part of the saw-mill interest
of the west will not place any price on the cut
until it is ready. They will book an order,
they will tell you, and then if a price can be
agreed on when the logs are sawed it is a sale—
otherwise not. Of course, this means that
there is not going to be any more low prices
anywhere in lumber, unless they come from
some dealer who is hard up or is not posted.
Selling at a low price ought to be accepted as
an evidence that the seller is somehow not ‘‘in
it,” and small attention should be paid to him.

A dealer in oak said to me yesterday that he
was not able to get more than half as much
stock as his orders called for, He is largely
dependent on the south for oak, and like all
others, asa rule, with southern connections
and not much else, he finds that the oak sec-
tions south are still suffering from six months’
yellow fever and ten months ofhigh water ina
year. Very little lumbering has been done
there of late. Itis always slow enough, but
it was absolutely at a standstill most of last
year, and has not recovered its normal condition

et.

; The dealer is of the opinion that oak will
need to advance in price much further than it
yet has, and that when it gets to $60 for the
best there will be a falling off in demand that
will permit some accumulation of stock.

~ There is no-other-way to meet the demand.

It is at present prices just as much called for
as ever. Somehow the dealers have not had
the courage to put the price up as the demand
warranted, and the result is that they have let
all their surplus get away from them, when by
holding it for more the price would have gone
up till the demand no longer so far exceeded the
supply.

There is not much trade in southern pine,
on account of the scarcity of stock. This
market has never bought this wood freely, and
there is Jess prospect of an increase of the trade
than ever. The difficulty in getting it is no
less than formerly, and it is wanted for export
from southern ports direct more than it was,
so that thereis no need of seeking northern
markets for working off the surplus. In real-
ity, none exists. The only big contract for
southern pine that has come under my notice
for a long time is for the State armory, though
that is a heavy one. It went to Litchfield
sometime ago.

The shortage of such hardwoods as elm, ash
and basswood is quite as pronounced as ever.
Coopers complain that they are entirely handi-
capped, as they are not able to pay the prices
for elm and basswood that lumbermen will
offer, and are confined to such stock as the
lumber trade is not able to use. The very
sharpest buyers of these woods are fairly dis-
couraged over the outlook. They should have
held some of the stock they were slashing when
the prices were solow. It is a fact that the
price of all such stock has not advanced nearly
as rapidly as it should have done. Dealers
were not willing, some of them were not able,
to shut up their yards and wait till the price
had been forced up to a level that would com-
pare with their needs in regard to more stock.
Some of them had tried it in former years, and
found that they had taken the wrong cue,
which meant a double loss. So an inspection
of the price asked here does not indicate the
real condition of things.

It is different in the saw mill districts, both
west and south. No lumber goes out from
there that is not bought at a sharp advance
from last year, so that this market must make
a further advance soon or sell at a loss. The
east knows this, and will pay more if it has to.
It is no longer willing to go without, as it
seemed to be a short time ago. Our dealers
are in the market for stock, and will buy more

n Canada than they did ifthey can get it.
But for the fact that all hardwoods are as
scarce there as they are here, there would have
been a brisk trade in everything but pine across
the border right along.

The Buffalo Lumber Exchange, at its annual
election in March, chose the following officers:

Erie than there was a month ago, and it has
been heavy all this year.

A. J. Elias is active in politics, Buffalo creek
improvements and Pan-American sites, not to
mention lumber, in which he is of course a
leading factor. He is urging the exposition
people to locate on grounds not far from the
yard of the firm on Buffalo creek, which is not
abad place. There are so far nineteen com-
peting sites, however, all offered free.

Dealers in bill timber are wondering where
they are going to get the material for building
the exposition structures. A Buffalo dredging
firm, wishing to get some oak for scows, sent a
member to West Vi irginia, and he stayed at the
mills till it was cut ‘out. There was no other
way of making sure of it on quick time.

Box makers are looking for a very busy sea-
son at better prices, especially since the Klaus
mill at East Buffalo went into retirement in
bankruptcy court. This concern failed a year
ago, paid nothing, and kept running just the
same.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.

ONTARIO.

Spring-like weather has caused a move-
ment of lumber from retail yards, and re-
tailers in turn are giving attention
to stocking up to meet the requirements of
what is likely to be one of the most pros-
perous seasons in the history of the lumber
trade of Ontario. The growth of indus-
trial establishments during the past year
or two, coupled with increased building
operations, has created a demand for
lumber for local consumption of no small
volume, and placed manufacturers in a
position less dependent on export trade.
This increased home trade has called for
just such lumber as was previously a drug
upon the market, namely, the lower
grades. Then, a shortage has developed
this spring in the supply of box lumber in
the United States, and considerable stock
has been purchased in Canada for eastern
markets, until the available supply at the
mills here is greatly reduced. Priceshave
advanced, and the tendency is towards
further hardening until dry lumber of this
season’s production is ready for shipment.

Dry hardwoods are simply not obtain-
able, owing to the scarcity of stock.
Wholesale dealers have found it unprofit-
able to keep buyers on the road. In the
few instances where stocks are located,
the holders ask what is considered
exorbitant prices, leaving the margin for
the middleman a mere bagatelle. While
every kind of hardwood lumber is con-
stantly being inquired for, black ash
seems to command the most attention.
There is practically a famine in this
wood, and implement manufacturers and
others accustomed to using it are ob-
liged to cast around for substitutes, which

are not easily found. Elm and basswood
prices are being maintained, but maple
is, perhaps, a trifle weaker so far as the
1899 cut is concerned, as there was a
heavy production of maple logs last
winter.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

In the province of Quebec there was an
average cut of logs during the past winter.
There is an unusual quantity of snow in
the woods, and some apprehension is felt
as tospring driving. No logs are likely
to be hung up, but there is danger of the
booms, dams and piers being swept away
by floods. In parts of New Brunswick,
also, the snow is deep and the season
backward. Some of the mills have com-
menced sawing for the season on logs
held over from last year, but as the lum-
ber market is not active, there 1s little
incentive to make an early start. Manu-
facturers of spruce deals are holding out
for prices considerably higher than those
of last year, and these are being paid by
buyers in some instances. This policy on
the part of manufacturers is to be com-
mended, and cannot but result, eventually,
in improving their position.

UNITED STATES.

The lumber market of the United
States has been strengthened by the
backward season. The mills in the
north will be late in resuming operations,
and consequently it will take some time
before the supply can more than meet
the demand. Holders of stock are asking
high prices, and consumers are realizing
that these must be paid if they are to
secure the Jumber. In the east, while
building operations have been retarded
by the backward spring, the industrial
establishments are consuming lumber
rapidly, and in many grades shortages
are constantly developing. Practically
allthe lower grades of white pine have
passed into the control of consumers, and
recourse is had to substitutes. The box
trade continues to be the heaviest con-
sumer of low grade soft lumber.

In the hardwood trade a marked
feature of the situation is the shipment of
green hardwoods from the mills. There
is such a demand for many of the hard-
woods that manufacturers and dealers
alike are refusing orders. In Buffalo
there is scarcely a car load of first and
second dry black ash to be obtained, and
elm, basswood and maple are in very
light supply. Dealers also report an
almost unprecedented demand for quar-
tered oak.

~The demand for shingles and lath is

II.-

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

very largely in keeping with that for lum-
ber generally. At Saginaw, Mich., white
pine shingles are bringing $2 and $3 in
wholesale lots, and cedar shingles 25
cents less. There is practically a famine
in the supply of lath. The quotation on
No. 1 white pine, in Chicago, is $2.20,
No. 1 mixed, $2, and No. 2 $1.85.

FOREIGN.

The position of the British market is
somewhat peculiar. While the stock of
timber and deals is steadily diminishing,
owing to an active consumption, importers
and dealers are buying only very cau-
tiously. They apparently hope that Cana-
dian shippers of spruce and pine will lower
their asking prices, but this, as we have
before remarked, is improbable. Shippers’
prices are based, of course, upon the figure
asked by manufacturers, who, wearied of
doing business with no margin of profit,
have decided to sell only at a price which
will leave an average profit. Failing this,
they will hold stock until such times as
the market improves. Birch timber is
selling in the British market at a fair
price, and parcels per steamers from St.
John have been readily disposed of.

Favorable reports come to hand from
South America, and it would appear that
a considerable quantity of Canadian lum-
ber will be shipped to that market this
year. The Barbados market ts also im-
proving.

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.

Since our last report there has been no
material change in the shingle situation. The
weather is still backward, and asa consequence
the demand is slow for this season of the year.
If anything, there are less shingles at produc-
ing points than there were one week ago, and
Inquiries

prices are being fully maintained.
are numerous, and as a result the manufacturers
are not losing courage, but are gaining still
more faith in higher prices. Ruling Boston
quotations are as follows: Extras, $2.80 to
$2.90 ; clears, $2.45 to $2.50 ; clear whites and
2nd clears, $1.85 to $1.90.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

The Gold Medal Furniture Manufactur-
ing Co., of Toronto, want a quantity of
dry 2+inch maple and beech.

It is reported that Parrsboro parties
have bonded about seventy thousand of
timber lands in Nova Scotia for pulp mill
promoters.

At Pittsburg, Pa., lath prices have ad-
vanced during the past week. Pine lath
is now selling at $2.50 per thousand, with
seconds at $2.25.

At Alpena, Mich., sales of basswood
mill culls have been made at $10, log run
at $16, black ash at $17.50, elm at $15,
and maple at $12.

It is said that the Dickson Co., of
Peterboro’, teok out about 12,000,000 feet
of logs during the past winter, and that the
McDonald Company have banked 3,000,-
ooo feet.

Alger, Smith & Co., of Detroit, Mich.,
have taken out about 14,000,000 feet of
logs on the Pigeon River, in northern
Minnesota. It is still uncertain where
these logs will be sawed.

The immovable property of the Casca-
pedia Pulp & Lumber Co, was sold at
Quebec last week. The purchasers were
Carrier, Laine & Co., of Levis, and H. R.
McLellan, of St. John, N.B.

The town council of Gananoque, Ont.,
has accepted the tender of the Rathbun
Co. for the annual supply of lumber, at the
price of $13.50 per M. feet delivered. The
Pembroke Lumber Co. tendered at $12 at
Pembroke, or $16 delivered at Gananoque.

Buchanan Bros. & Huff, of Thames-
ville, Ont., have purchased several car

loads of maple logs at Onaway, Mich.
These logs will be shipped by rail to St.
John, N.B., and thence to England by
water. Another lot of maple has also
been purchased in the same vicinity for
shipment to Europe.

Many of the mills at Marinette, Wis.,
have contracted for their 1899 production.
Last week two cuts, amounting to nearly
50,000,000 feet, were sold to Chicago
parties. J. M. Martin sold 600,000 feet of
basswood to the H. M. Tyler Lumber Co.,
of Tonawanda, and Ira Carley sold his
cut of 500,000 feet to English & Co., of
New Haven, Conn.

An estimate has been made of the cut
of logs during the past winter on’ the
Tobique river, in New Brunswick. It
appears that the cut has been in excess of
last year, the figures being as follows :
Hale, 4,000,000 feet ; McCallum, 1,500,-
ooo ;, McNair, 2,500,000 ; Estey, 4,000,-
000; Baird, 3,000,000 ; Beveride, 3,000,-
000, and Upham, 1,500,000. The logs
are all ready for the streams.

Mayor Bingham, of Ottawa, who is
interested in lumbering operations, — re-
cently returned from a tour of inspection
along the Gatineau river. Regarding to
output of logs, he says: “It will not be
great this spring ; not nearly so large as
last spring, and that was a very short
season. ‘The timber output I should say
would be fully as much as 50 per cent.
less than in 1898. Red and white cedar
will be a very short crop. The cedar.for
telegraph poles will be 25 per cent, less
than last year, while the railway ties will
be 4o per cent. less.”

The demand in Chicago for dry bass-
wood 1s as pronounced asever. First and
second inch sells readily out of the yard
at $23, while box boards bring $26 and 1
x6 strips $22. The price for common
basswood ranges from $17.50 to $18. In
ash, soft elm and rock elm there is also a
shortage of dry stock. At Michigan
points like conditions exist. A report from
Manistee states that black and white ash
are both exhausted, birch is an unknown
quantity, and rock elm and basswood have
been cleaned out. There isa little soft elm
for sale, the price being $18 for log run.on
dock.

At Saginaw, Mich., there is an extra-
ordinary demand for coarse lumber.
Canada log run is quoted at $14 to $18,
and Michigan at $18 to $22. Box lumber
is very scarce and brings from $12 to $13,
while Norway is selling from $9.50 to $12.
The Saginaw Lumber & Salt Co. three
weeks ago sold 2,000,000 feet of Norway
to be cut this season at an advance of
$1.50 over last year’s quotations, and the
same concern has just closed a deal for
another 2,000,000 feet at a substantial. ad-
vance. At Lake Huron shore points $18
is asked for 18 feet Norway piece stuff.
Mill culls are said to be selling at $9.50
and $10, and while the starting of the mills
may cause a slight drop, it is probable
that the price throughout the season will
be far ahead of last year.

MICHIGAN LOGGING CONDITIONS.
A correspondent of the American Lumber-
man, of the conditions prevailing in the Sagi-
naw valley, says;

Until within a day or two there has been
from twelve to eighteen inches of snow on the
ground, and last Thursday a train on the
Mackinaw division of the Michigan Central
was seven hours late in reaching the valley by
reason of snow blockade north of Grayling.
There is heavy snow up in that section at the
present time, and considerable ice in the rivers
and lake. During the last two weeks there
has been fairly good sleighing and a large
quantity of logs have been hauled. If Canada
logs do not come over, which is as yet not
definitely determined, there will of course be a
shortage, but more Michigan logs will be cut
on this river this year than was cut last season.
Nearly if not quite 100,000,000 feet of Michi-
gan logs will come to this river this season.
The cut at Alpena last season was 83,500,000
feet, and it is believed that it will reach 65,-
000,000 feet the coming season. The writer
is informed by trustworthy people that at Che-
boygan the mills will all have a full stock, and
some of them will run day and night. At
Tawas, Prescott & Son will: have a stock of
about 14,000,000 feet, whereas last year their

mill did not cut a board. The Tawas Bay
Lumber Company cut only about 10,000,000
feet last year, and will have only a partial
stock this season. Some small mills have been
put in along, the line of the northern extension
of the Detroit & Mackinac, and these will be
stocked. In the aggregate quite a quantity
of logs cut on deeded and Indian reserve lands
in Canada will come over if no other stock
shall be obtained from that region. The
weather has been favorable during the last two
weeks for getting in logs and cedar.

HARDWOOD LUMBER PRICES.

A large farniture dealer has declared that
prices of hardwood lumber have, within a year,
advanced 75, and in some cases even 100
percent. He explained that it was only the
way of thetrade. Hardwood did appear to be
getting more difficult to obtain, and conse-
queutly there was a tendency to advance the

price, but as a matter of fact, prices were not
any, or very little, higher than they were seven
or eight years ago. Every few years prices
had gone up and down, and that wave-like
motion had continued during the 25 years he
had been in the business. With better times
prices advanced, and when dull times came
again the bottom fell out of trade, and prices
slumped back.

BOX SHOOKS WANTED.

Messrs. Baker & James, 164 Corporation
street, Birmingham, England, advise us that
they are open to negotiate for regular supplies
of Canadian box shooks and similar goods cut

BOX SHOOKS WANTED.

Messrs. Baker & James, 164 Corporation
street, Birmingham, England, advise us that
they are open to negotiate for regular supplies
of Canadian box shooks and similar goods cut
from spruce and pine. They will be pleased
to hear trom manufacturers or exportees who
can ship by regular steamers to English ports,
and who are prepared to undertake deliveries
the year round. Canadian manufacturers
desirous of extending their trade in this direc-
tion siould communicate with the above firm.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

In the pine districts of Ontario the lum-
bermen are preparing for the drives, al-
though in some sections the snow 1s still
deep. Owing to the backwardness of the
season, the logs may not reach the mills
until later than usual, but this will not
materially affect sawing operations, as a
number of the mills have a small stock of
logs available which were carried over
from last season. Indications point to a
season of unusual activity. There has
been a considerable quantity of lumber
contracted for in advance, the revival in
general trade assures a steady demand,
and in addition to these favorable circum-
stances, contracts are being placed with
mills on the Georgian Bay to cut logs for
firms who formerly exported to Michigan.
All the lumber produced is likely to finda
market. It is also probable that present
prices will, virtually, be maintained. Mill
culls, the price of which is now out of pro-
portion to the other grades, are almost
certain to weaken. On the other hand,
unless the demand should be checked by
unexpected circumstances, we look for an
advance in certain grades. Large pur-
chases of box lumber are likely to be made
by dealers in the Eastern States, owing to
the scarcity of lumber in Michigan and
the high prices asked there by holders of
stock. There is no important change in
the hardwood market. Some of the mills
have resumed operations, and anticipate a
good season.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

It is not expected that navigation on
the St. Lawrence will open until about
the 25th of April, which will be one week
later than last year. There will then be
a rush of lumber shipments, as the ex-
ports from the St. Lawrence will likely be
equal in volume to that of last year, al-
though as yet contracting for stock has
not been entered into as liberally as

usual. In all probability shippers will,
within the next few weeks, show a greater
disposition to buy, as the stock of spruce
deals in the British market has become
reduced, and prices have strengthened in
consequence. There is a good demand
for oak, birch and elm timber. In the
Maritime provinces the cut of logs during
the past winter was less than im the
previous season by about one-quarter.
Reliable estimates place the cut of the St.
John river at one hundred million feet,
sixty million of which is American lum-
ber, to be cut at St. John mills and
shipped to the United States. In the
Miramichi district the cut last winter was
an average one, but in Nova Sco'iait was
about one-third less than in the previous
winter. It will thus be seen that the
quantity of lumber to be marketed this
season by New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia manufacturers will not be large,
and there should be no difficulty in dis-
posing of it at the higher prices now
asked. Ocean freights are about 42s 6d
from New Brunswick ports to the leading
markets of Great Britain. This is a few
shillings higher than the average rate last
year, but it is improbable that there will
be any advance, owing to the number of
steamers seeking freights.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The spring movement of lumber in
Manitoba and the Northwest has com-
menced, and building operations are now
in full swing. In Winnipeg a number of
large buildings have been arranged for,
and in towns and villages there is more
than an average amount of building.
Stocks of lumber held by retailers are
small, and the mills will be started as
early as possible to supply the require-
ments. The cut of logsin the woods has
been greater than last season. In British
Columbia manufacturers are experienc-
ing a growing local demand, on account
of increased building operations. Export
trade is also extending, and within the
past month an order was placed with one
of the mills for a quantity of boxes for
shipment to Australia.

UNITED STATES.

Firmness is still the predominant
feature of the United States lumber mar
ket. Navigation from Lake Superior is
likely to open later than usual, and this
has given increased strength to the
eastern market. It is believed that the
present prices of white pine will be main-
tained throughout the season, and that
some items may further advance. No. 2
boards are now commanding slightly
higher figures, as this stock is being pur-
chased freely as a substitute for the lower
grades.

In Chicago piece stuff is still selling
out of the yards at $12.50, and the cargo
market is likely to open on a basis of
$11.50 per thousand. At Philadelphia
stocks of dry white pine lumber are
scarce, and box lumber has advanced
during the past week from $15.50 to $16.
Increased strength in the white pine mar-
ket has also developed at Boston, Balti-
more and other points. Tonawanda
dealers report numerous orders for box

II.

and low grade stock, and their supplies
have become diminished.

The scarcity of dry hardwood lumber is
still the feature of the market. Buyers
are anxious to contract for stock to be
cut, but in some instances manutacturers
refuse contracts of this character, believ-
ing that the limit of price has not yet
been reached. At Tonawanda there is
an increasing demand for basswood
sidings, and in New York oak and ash
hold strong positions. ;

FOREIGN.

Within the past week there has been a
hardening of prices in the British market,
owiny to the fact that stocks have become
reduced and that some classes of timber
have practically passed out of first hands.
The stock of spruce deals in the public
docks at London on March 31st was
935,000 pieces, as compared with J,220,-
000 pieces one year ago. Deals of third
and fourth quality are quite firm, 3x9
thirds selling in small quantities at £8
per standard, while higher prices are
probable before the first shipments arrive.
Pine deals are in stock in about the same
quantity as last year. The better quality
are in good demand, at slightly higher
figures, but in the lower grades there has
been no improvement. The hardwood
trade is showing more life. Birch timber
and planks have sold freely, and the stock
is smal]. A modern demand exists for
elm and ash, while in waney and square
pine the call has been chiefly for prime
wood. Elsewhere are given detailed
information of the Liverpool and Glasgow
markets.

It is expected that South America will
this year import more lumber than usual.
The harvest has begun, and promises an
abundant yield, which will result in im-

proved commercial conditions. The
Australian market is dull, prices for
Oregon pine being about 54 Ios per

thousand feet.

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.

The spring demand for shingles has at last
struck in with full force, and the manufacturers
who have the goods to furnish are in a very
small minority. As a consequence, prices are
soaring upwards, and there is no telling where
they will stop. Some conservative operators
express themselves as believing that quotations
inside four or five weeks will touch a $3.25 to
$3.50 basis for extras. The market to-day has
a most decided bullish tendency, and the fact
that very few shipments can be made before
about June Ist adds materially to the strength
of the situation. The fact is that the
manufacturers are now in most absolute control,
and it would appear that radical advances on
present prices could be maintained without
difficulty. Practically all of the wholesale
trade are heavily oversold, and on promise of
immediate shipments. They are struggling
desperately to get their orders placed at some
price or other for quick delivery, but are find-
ing this virtually impossible, for the shingles in
sufficient quantity are not to be had at any
price. The bulk of the orders now being
placed are taken on basis of Boston freight
rates at: Extras, $2.90 to $3; clears, $2.50
to $2.60; 2nd clears and clear whites, $2 to
$2.10. A considerable number of the best in-
formed manufacturers are asking for June de-
livery $3.25 for extras and corresponding
figures for other grades. This latter price is
not too high to afford a fair margin to the
makers, and if they all have the courage of
their convictions will be secured before June
Ist.

A lumber manufacturer of Cumberland
county states that there will be about 35,-
000,000 feet of lumber for shipment this
season from West Bay, N.S., to trans-At-
lantic ports. The cut throughout Cum-
berland county has been lighter than for
some years past.

At Saginaw, Mich., box lumber 1s still
scarce, and sells at $12 to $13. Canada
log run brings $14 to $18 and Michigan

THE BRITISH MARKET.

Timber circulars to hand review the respec-
tive markets of Great Britain for the quarter
ending March 31st. Ofthe Liverpool market
Messrs. Duncan, Ewing & Co. say :

White PINE TIMBER — The deliveries
during March comprised only 10,000 feet of
waney board wood, the stock of square
pine remaining unchanged. Stocks are very
moderate and values steady.

RED PINE has been in fair demand, the

deliveries amounting to 5,000 feet, but the
stock is still ample for probable requirements.

Oak Locs—The demand has been of a
retail character, and the market remains un-
changed.

Erm—Stock is light, and this wood is in
fair request at firm prices.

BircH—Logs: The import during March
amounted to 71,000 cubic feet. The bulk of
this import has gone into consumption. Some
parcels were offered by auction and met a
strong demand at increased values, Planks:
The import has again been heavy, but the
Geliveries have been very satisfactory, and
stocks are reduced by 24,000 feet, but are still
excessive. Values continue low.

PINE DEALS, SIDINGS, &c:.—The deliveries
during March have been of a somewhat more
extensive scale, but stocks are still too heavy
in view of the near approach of the import
season, and the market is not in a very satis-
factory condition, Some 3rd quality deals
were sold by auction during the month at £8
per standard.

N. B. and N. S. SprucE DEALS—The de-
liveries have again been satisfactory, and
stocks are light. Parcels from St. John, N.B.,
have been sold at from £6 5/-to £67/6c. i. f.,
and values for contract cargoes are firm,
Halifax deals are selling at about £6 3/9 to
46 7/6, ex. quay.

- QUEBEC SPRUCE DEALS—Stock on hand
is now only 890 standards, so that the new
season’s imports should come to a good

market. Values are steady.

From Messrs. Calder, Henderson & Living-
ston we extract the following particulars of
the Glasgow market :

In reviewing the quarter just closed, we
have to report a continuance of the activity
which prevailed at the close of 1898, a remark
which is applicable to both the timber trade
and allied trades. Speaking generally, the
market has been maintained in a healthy con-
dition, although in certain items of Canadian
stock there has been a decided weakening of
values, The exceptionally heavy stocks of
lower grade pine deals carried over from 1898
have been difficult to deal with, and keen
competition has prevailed inthe endeavors to
realize. This has to some extent been met by
improving values in standard sizes of first
quality. The all round amount of stock in
both timber and deals that has gone into
consumption has been very satisfactory.

WHITE PINE.—WANEY—The demand has

practically been entirely for prime wood of

long average for shipbuilding purposes, and it
has been selling at from 2s 6d to 2s 9d per
cubic foot. There isa moderate demand for
short girthy wood, at from 2s 3d to 2s 6d, but
2nd class wood is entirely neglected. It is
quoted at 15d to 20d per cubic foot. Very
little business in square timber has been done.
Ths stock is small and the demand not large.

ReD PinE—There has been a fair con-
sumption, chiefly of prime wood of large
average, which sells at 2s. to 2s. 3d. per cubic
foot.

HD. WICCI

EL_M—There has been a good demand, and.
the prime wood in the market has practically —
now been all taken up at firm prices. The
stock consists mostly of second class wood, —
Prime wood is quoted at 2s. 2d. to 2s. 5d. for
45 feet average.

Oak—There is very little movement to re-
port in this staple. First class wood has been
sold at about 2s. 8d. to 2s. 10d. for 70 cubic
feet average, but several clearances have lately
been made at much lower figures. Second
class wood has been cleared out at 18d. to 19d.
per cubic foot.

AsH—Prices are quoted steady at 19d. to
22d. for 13 to 15-inch average.

BircH—The import has been nominal and
prices have advanced. They are firm at 18d.
to 21d. for 16-inch average. ’

DEALS, BATTENS AND BOARDS—Consider-
able business has been done, and prices as a
whole have been steady. Any weakening of

prices reported has generally been explained
by the fact that the holders were clearing up
stocks which they are anxious to close. In
pine, first broad deals have been in more de-
mand, and the prices firmer at £23 7s. 6d. to
424 15s. There is not much demand for t1-
inch, and they have been cleared at £20 12s.
6d. to £22. Undersized have been sold freely
at £17 3s. 9d. to £19 5s. A fair business has
been done in good sidings, which for an 11-inch
average have fetched £17 3s. 9d. to £18 tris.
3d. Strips 5 to 7-inch wide by 1%-inch, 1%4-
inch and 2 inches are selling at £13 to 415
10s. In seconds the stock of broads is not
large, but there has been little demand. They
are quoted at £17 3s. 9d. to £19 §s., 11-inch
at £I5 2s. 6d. to £17 17s. 6d. Undersized
deals are hard to move, and have been sold at
Ali 13s. od. to £13 15s. The demand for
thirds has been good, regulars are steady at
about 49 12s. 6d., but undersized are still
weak at £6 17s. 6d. to £7 18s. 1d. per St.
Pet. std. There are considerable stocks of
fourths on hand that were bought at low figures
in the later part of last year, and this has
tended to keep values down. The demand
has been moderate. Regulars are quoted at
46 17s 6d to 47 4s 4d, and undersized at £6
3s 9d to £6 10s 7d. Red pine is very much
wanted, but there is practically no stock in
hand.

SprucE—A fair business has been done in
Quebec spruce, and prices ‘are firm at £7 5s
for 2nds, £6 17s 6d for 3rds, and £6 3s 9d to

£6 tos for 4ths. Several shipments of New
Brunswick spruce have come to hand by the
winter steamers from St. John, and _ these
have readily been taken up at full prices. The
demand is good, and with the exception of 7
inch, prices realized were high. 9g inch deals
are quoted at £7 11s 3d, with 7 inch, 8 inch,
and 11 inch at approximate prices.

There has been a moderate import of birch
from St. John by the winter steamers, and it
has readily been taken up at full prices. The
demand is good. Logs 14% to 15 inches sell
at 17d to 19d. There has also been a good
enquiry for planks, and these have been sold

at £7 4s 4d ex quay.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

Fine weather has given a stimulus to
building operations throughout Ontario.
Much work is in progress and lumber is
being purchased freely. Manufacturers
and dealers report a brisk demand, on
local account, for hemlock and the grades
of pine and hardwoods used in the cheaper
class of buildings. In Toronto the build-
ing season thus far has been much _ better
than last year, or in fact any season for
several years past. Unfortunately, some
differences exist between the contractors
and the bricklayers, and unless a settle-
ment is reached in afew daysa strike
may follow, the result of which will be to
cause capitalists to defer the erection of
proposed buildings. While much lumber
is being used in building work, the con-
sumption in other departments of industry
is proportionately large. The furniture
and implement factories and all wood
consuming industries are working to their
full capacity, converting raw material
into the finished product. Lumber
prices in all districts are strengthening,
but scarcely in due relation to the demand.
Haidwoods have reached a fair price,
owing to the scarcity of dry stock, but
some grades of pine are still low. These,
however, are likely to advance, and the
dealer will act wisely who stocks up
liberally at present quotations. A large
percentage of the hardwood cut of 1899
has already been contracted for, and more
would be but for the high prices which
some manufacturers are asking. That

these will be realized is somewhat doubt-
ful, as it would seem that the limit for this
season has about been reached. The
hardwood industry of the Ottawa valley
is to be developed, and thus the volume
of production will be increased. Contracts
have already been placed by New York
houses for considerable quantities of
birch, elm and ash to be manufactured
in that district.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,

The demand for lumber in Manitoba
and the Territories is such that dealers
are finding their stocks inadequate. For
some grades, particularly those which
enter most generally into building opera-
tions, higher prices are being obtained.
There is a vast amount of building under
way in Winnipeg, but unfortunately a
scarcity of building material, chiefly stone
and brick, has developed, and the erection
of some large buildings may, asa result,
be delayed until next year. In the face
of these conditions favorable to the iumber
trade, it is learned that some cutting of
prices has been indulged in by one or two
dealers. Efforts are being made to secure
adherence to list prices, which is certainly
much to be desired. Some speculation is
indulged in as to the successful tenderer
for the annual supply of lumber for civic
work in Winnipeg. The tenderers are
the Rat Portage Lumber Co., D. E.
Sprague and Dick, Banning & Co., and
it is believed that the tenders range from
$17 to $17.75 per M. The lowest tender
submitted last year was $14.75. This is
an illustration of the advance in lumber
which has taken place.

The mills in British Columbia are
rushed with orders, and prices are consid-
erably higher than they were twelve
months ago. The price of logs has ad-
vanced almost in the same degree, so that
manufacturers are making little more
profit. There is a boom in building at
Vancouver and New Westminster, and
consequently a steady call for lumber. A
number of vessels are loading for foreign
countries.

FOREIGN.

Buyers in Great Britain are show-
ing a greater disposition to contract for
Canadian timber, and consequently prices
are strengthening. The spruce market
has so far improved that c. i. f. quotations
are now considered very satisfactory, first
quality Quebec being held at £10 Ios,
second quality at £7 2s 6d, and third
quality at £6 15s. These prices are, of
course, much in advance of those realized
at the recent auction sales. For New
Brunswick spruce quotations are from £6
7s 6d to £9 15s, the latter being obtain-
able only for very desirable stock. Nova
Scotia spruce 1s firm at about 5s per
standard below that of New Brunswick.
The white pine market is also firm, ana
there is a good demand for broad firsts,
particularly of long lengths, the quotation
being about £25 per standard. Second
quality sells at from £16 to 418, and
third quality at from £9 to £10. In the
timber trade elm and birch seem to lead.
The former sells at 2s 4d to 2s sd for 50
cubic feet average, and the latter at 1s 6d

to is 7d for 16 inch average. For ash,
oak and red pine the demand is only
moderate. This is also the case with
square and waney pine timber, the stock
of which at several ports is too large.

UNITED STATES.

The demand for lumber in the United
States is steadily iucreasing, and manu-
facturers and dealers are looking forward
to a season of great activity. Prices con-
tinue to strengthen. The scarcity of box
lumber is still the feature of the market,
and substitutes are being sought for. It
is not anticipated that prices will weaken
before midsummer at least, and even then
itis unlikely that there will be any ma-
terial decrease. Tonawanda and Buffalo
dealers report numerous enquires for low
grade stock. There has been an unusual
run on No. 3 barn, which is selling at
from $14 to $15. No.2 barn is also much
in demand, and the upper grades are
scarce. Mill culls are selling in Michigan
at from $9 to $10, and the quantity avail-
able is extremely limited. In New York
there has been an advance of $1 per
thousand on box lumber, and Io-inch 13
foot boards are likely to bring higher
prices. Spruce lath has advanced 4o
cents within 1he past ten days, being held
at $2.40 per thousand.

The situation in hardwoods has been
somewhat relieved by thenew cut. Bass-
wood is getting dry and some of it has
gone forward from the mills. Maple is
slightly weaker, as the cut of the past
winter was probably the largest ever
known.

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.

The situation of the shingle market to-day

is exactly what we predicted. There are prac-
tically no shingles in stock at producing points.
On the other hand, the retail dealers are very
hort of stock, and the net result is a flurry of
very large extent. Those few manufacturers
who have held their shingles up to the present
time are receiving to-day, delivered at Boston,
the following prices: Extras, $3 ; clears,
$2.50 ; second clears and saps, $2.

We believe that four times as many shingles
as there are at producing points are sold for
immediate shipment at these figures. It can
be readily seen, therefore, that the market
is entirely in the hands of the manufacturers.
A great many of the latter are refusing to quote
for shipment until after the summer mills start,
say in June, believing that by such time
shingles will be worth $3.25 or more. Weare
inclined to think this view of the situation is
correct, and would advise all manufacturers to
wait until they have shingles to offer, making
no quotations whatever, for the reason that
they are absolutely sure at such time of getting
present prices, and certainly stand a strong
chance of realizing considerable more.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
Thomas Barber, of Keldon, Ont., has
engaged a portable mill to cut about Io0,-
ooo feet of soft elm lumber.

The total cut of logs in Minnesota last
winter is estimated at 640,000,000 feet.
This is said to be the largest on record.

The Ontario Lumber Company, of
French River, Ont., recently shipped
several car-loads of deals to Great Britain
by United States ports.

Spruce logs have recently been selling
at Banyor, Maine, at $12 to $13 per
thousand, which is about $2 higher than
the prices quoted at same time last year.

The city council of Guelph, Ont., have
accepted the tenders of Robert Stewart
for the supply of cedar lumber, at $11.50
per M, and of H. M. Clemens & Co. ior
tamarac, at $12.94.

W.R. Thompson has disposed of his
stock of elm, basswood and maple at
Belmore, Ont., containing in all about
200,000 feet, to the Union Furniture
Company, of Wingham.

Chew Bros., of Midland, Ont., have
purchased from H. H. Cook the Upper
Islands, extending from Moose Deer
Point to Parry Sound. There is con-
siderable timber on the property.

The steady demand for shingles at
Tonawanda has practically cleaned out
that market. Prices have advanced, and
are now from 15 to 20 cents a thousand
higher than they were last fall. On 18

inch clear butts pine, quotations range
from $2.50 to $2.65,and on 18 inch XXXX
from $3.35 to $3.50 f.0.b. cars Tonawanda.

At Saginaw, Mich., dry lumber is
practically cleaned up. Log run is quoted
at $14 to $22, box at $12 to $13, Norway
bil) stuff at $9.50 and upward, and mill
culls at $9 to $10. Shingles are quoted
at $2 to $3 for white pine and 15 cents
less for cedar.

A Boston dealer reports that cargoes of
wide random spruce are held at $17.50 to
$18.50, while a special bill of wide stuff
sold at $20. Bangor and St. John lath
are in good demand at $2.25 to $2.40,
which is the strongest opening price
quoted for many years.

Chicago dealers have sent out new lists
advancing nearly all the items in low
grade lumber from 50 cents to $1 per
thousand. There is a shortage of common
stock boards in 8 and Io inch widths. The
stock of 12 inch boards 1s in better shape.
In No. 2common boards an advance has
been made of socents a thousand on 8,
Io and 12 inch, 12, 14, 16 feet. On
shingles an advance of 5 to Io cents has
been made on both pine and cedar.
There isa famine in lath, present quota-
tions being $2.25 to $2.30 for white pine
and $1.90 to $2 for mixed.

On April r4th the following vessels
were loading lumber at British Columbia
ports: Ship Atlacar, at Vancouver, for
South America; ship Alex. McNeal, at
Victoria, for Adelaide, Australia ; ship
Orion, at Chemainus, for Calcutta; barque
Undaunted, at Chemainus, for Cape
Town, SouthAfrica ; ship British General,
at Chemainus, for Adelaide, Australia ;
barque Sebastian Bach, at Chemainus,
for Tientsin, China ; barque Burnel, at
New Westminster, for Chile ; schooner
Weatherwax, at New Westminster, for
San Francisco. The ship Clan Galbraith,
the schooner Hawaiian Isles, and the

‘ barque Star of France were also ready .o

load.

BEECH SQUARES WANTED.

A Liverpool firm of timber importers and
saw millers write to the CANADA LUMBER-
MAN as follows :

**Tt is possible that we might be able to use
very large quantities of beech squares of the
following sizes or multiples :

10 per cent....12144 x 2% square

25 PES este weeME OR 2G ee

25 “ce 94%xIkK oe

5 Ecce 51a hb bee Dy

5 SC «ste 12) Xt FO square
5 “e .. 10 x 1% square.

‘* These would have to enter into competi-
tion with English beech, and would necessarily
have to be at a very low price, as birch planks
are being largely shipped at a very low price.
We have no doubt that beech could, if it
grows plentiful enough, be cut and shipped at
as low a price, or possibly lower. It would be
necessary for these squares to be absolutely
first quality in every respect, perfectly straight
grained, free of knots and other defects, and
it would also be necessary after the squares
have been cut that they be immediately steamed
in a boiler under pressure with live steam (a
pressure of 10 to 20 lbs. to the square inch for
some hours would be sufficient for this) to
eject and kill the sap contained in the wood,
and then before being shipped to be allowed
to cool off and season a little. This is to
prevent splitting upon the ends. The steam-
ing need not necessarily be a costly process ;
it isdone in our mill as soon as the wood
comes from the saw, and it has most beneficial
results.”

Readers of THE LUMBERMAN wishing the
address of this firm may obtain same by en-
closing postage to this office.

SHIPPING MATTERS.

very little chartering has taken place of late
from Canadian ports, but that engagements

they are open to negotiate for regular supplies
of Canadian box shooks and similar goods cut
from spruce and pine. They will be pleased
to hear from manufacturers or exportees who
can ship by regular steamers to English ports,
and who are prepared to undertake deliveries

tion should communicate with the above firm.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
As the spring season advances, inquiries
for lumber continue to increase, and un-
less present indications should prove mis-

‘leading, there will be a heavy movement

of pine lumber from the mills this year.
Retail dealers are stocking up in a very
satisfactory manner, and such manufac-
turers as have dry stock are busy filling
orders. The mills are gradually resum-
ing operations, some of them in western
Ontario having been given contracts for
sawing logs for Michigan firms. Some
particulars of the log production last
winter are given elsewhere. While it is
probable that more lumber than usual
will be manufactured in Ontario this sea-
son, there is little fear of an overproduc-
tion, owing to the fact that many of the
mills in Michigan, the product of which
has in the past come in competition with
Ontario lumber, will this year be closed
down, thanks to the manufacturing clause.
Prices of pine lumber are strengthening.
In the Georgian Bay district mill culls
are worth from two to three dollars more
than they were one year ago, and dry
stocks are very light. Hardwoods have
not undergone any material change. The
local industries are buying quite heavily,
and stock for export can only be secured
by contracting in advance.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,

Navigation on the St. Lawrence is now
open, and vessels are loading with lumber
at Montreal, Quebec and other river
ports. Although it is yet too early to
speak definitely, from present indications
it appears that shipments of pine and
spruce to Great Britain will be quite as
large as last season.

In New Brunswick the season has been
backward, the delay in getting logs having
handicapped some of the mills. The
market is improving, and manufacturers
look forward to an average season. Owing
to an improvement both in prices and
demand, more than the usual quantity cf
deals cut at St. John mills by Americans
will be marketed in the Eastern States,
and a smaller quantity will come in.com-
petition with the Canadian product in
Great Britain and other foreign markets.
Shipments to the British market have
already begun, chiefly by tramp steamers.
During the winter over twenty million
feet of deals and other lumber was
shipped from St. John to European ports
by the regular liners.

A fair trade is doing on local account,
building operations being particularly

active. At St. John the I. C. R. elevator
and warehouses are in course of con-
struction.

UNITED STATES.

Not for many years have the conditions
existing in the lumber trade been so favor-
able to manufacturers. Prices in the
Eastern States are steadily improving,
and it is believed that the entire output of
this season will be sold at prices as high
as those now ruling. The mild weather
has started building operations, which
give promise of being on an extensive
scale. The upper and lower grades of
pine are particularly short in supply, com-
mon stock being more plentiful. No
weakening has yet taken place in the
price of mill culls, which are selling in
Michigan at $9.

The scarcity of hardwood Jumber will
be relieved in a few weeks when the new
cut becomes available. Then it is be-
lieved that certain grades which are now
abnormally high, as, for instance, thick
oak and ash, will decline in price.
Generally, however, prices are not likely
to be materially affected by the new cut,
owing to the fact that a large portion of
the season’s production has already been
contracted for at high prices. It 1s esti-
mated that one-half of the output of the
hardwood mills in Wisconsin has been
sold in advance.

FOREIGN.

The consumption of deals in the British
market continues large, and while the
demand maintains its present proportions,
prices are not likely to depreciate. Buyers
who have delayed making purchases in
the hope of being able to effect a better
bargain are now entering the market, and
as a result a considerable number of sales
are reported. Prices of Canadian goods
have not materially changed since our
last report, but consignments of spruce
deals per liners from St. John and Hali-
fax are said to have been disposed of at
slightly advanced prices. At Bristol and
some other ports the stock of spruce in
first hands is practically exhausted, and
early shipments should meet with ready
sale. Hardwoods are moving steadily at
recent quotations.

The steamer Leuctra will load deals at
Miramichi, N.B., for w.c. England. The
steamer Wilderspool will load at West Bay, N.
S., for same destination, at 38s.

At a meeting of the Tariff Committee of the
General Railway Freight Agents’ Association,
held in Toronto last week, it was decided to
increase the freight rate on lumber by one-half
cent. per hundred pounds.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.

The shingle market continues to exhibit an
improved tone, and prices are generally being
maintained. Quotations are same as given
last week, viz., extras $3, clears $2.50, and
second clears $2, delivered at Boston. The
mills will not be in operation for a few weeks
yet, and there is no probability that the supply
will exceed the demand. Many of the largest
handlers of New Brunswick shingles are not
only completely out of stock, but, as we have
before stated, have sold largely in advance.
Manufacturers appear to be wakening up to a
better understanding of market conditions,
and the shingle trade is likely to be more
prosperous in future.

LOG PRODUCTION IN ONTARIO.

The extent of the production of pine logs in
Ontario during the past winter is a question of
general interest to lumbermen. From infor-
mation obtained from different reliable sources,
the CANADA LUMBERMAN believes that the
output was slightly less than in the winter of
1897-98. This reduction, although slight, is
due to two causes, one being the enactment
of the manufacturing clause, and the other the
deep snow in some districts, rendering logging
operations extremely difficult. Some particulars
are given below.

In the Ottawa Valley the production of pine
logs during the past winter is expected to fall
short of the output of the previous winter by
about 10 per cent.

In the Pembroke district, extending as far
north as the head of Lake Temiscamingue,
the cut of logs was about one million pieces,
containing approximately eighty-five million
feet. There was also taken out in this district
about five thousand pieces of square timber, of
perhaps fifty feet average, about ten thousand
cords of pulp wood, anda quantity of cedar
and other timber.

An approximate estimate of the cut in the
Peterboro’ district places the amount at from
seventy-five million to eighty million feet taken
from licensed lands, and from thirty million to
forty million feet from private lands. Only a
few pieces of square timber were taken out in
this district.

The output of saw logs and dimension timber
in the Renfrew district was in the neighborhood
of thirty-five million feet. There was also
taken out a large number of railroad ties, per-
haps two hundred thousand, and about two

hundred and fifty pieces of square timber. The
operators inthis district are McLachlin Bros,
J. R. Booth, Knight & Smith, Rathbun Co.,
Carswell & MacKay, Gillies Bros. Co., R. A.
Campbell, Isaac Allen, W. A. Playfair, J. &
J. Herron, Boyd, Caldwell & Co., The Rideau
Lumber 5Co., W. A. Allen and Moyer &
Ryan.

In the Parry Sound and Muskoka district,
the cut of pine logs during the past winter was
in the neighborhood of one hundred and sixty
million feet. This would have been some-
what greater but for the exceedingly deep snow.
Itis reported that the Holland& Emery Lumber
Co. took out about 20,000,000 feet ; Hardy
Lumber Co., 14,000,000 ; Turner & Fisher,
14,000,000 ; Wm. Peter, 15,000,000 ; Arthur
Hill & Co., 20,000,000 ; Georgian Bay Lumber
Co., 12,000,000 ; Ontario Lumber Co., 9,000,-
Huntsville Lumber Co., 6,000,000 ;
Brennan Manufacturing Co., 6,000,000 ; Chew
Bros., 5,000,000 ; J. B. Smith & Son, 6,000,-
ooo ; Snider Lumber Co., 3,000,000 ; A. Mac-
pherson & Co., 3,000,000 ; Dominion Bank,
3,000,000 ; W. W. Carter, 2,000,000 ; J. D.
Shier, 3,000,000 ; Jupp & Co., 4,000,000 ;
Parry Sound Lumber Co., 5,000,000 ; Carl-
ing Lumber Co., 1,500,000 ; and the Delta
There
was also taken out in this district in the neigh-
borhood of seventy-five thousand cubic feet of
waney birch and about 5,000,000 of birch and
other saw logs to be cut by the local hardwood
mills.

000 ;

Lumber Co., 1,000,000 feet of old logs.

In the eastern division of Algoma disrrict
the production of timber was about 31,000,-
000 feet of saw logs, 4,500 cords of pulp wood,
36,000 railway ties, and 73,000 pieces of cedar
posts. Of the above 31,000,000 feet of pine
saw logs, nearly 20,000,000 feet will be driven
down the Spanish river. In addition to this
amount, about 20,000,000 will go into the
Spanish river from the Nipissing district,
making in all 40,000,000 feet of saw logs to
be sorted at the mouth of the Spanish river.
The remainder of the saw logs taken out of
the eastern division of Algoma will be on
Collin’s Inlet, Bay Fin, Macgregor Bay and
White Fish waters. There will also be driven
down the Spanish river about 3,500 cords of
pulp wood.

The quantity of pine logstaken out in the
western division of Algoma district was con-
siderably less than last year, the cuts of the
operators being about as follows: Eddy,
Jordon & Co., on Blind river, 12,000,000 to
14,000,000 feet pine; Blind River Lumber
Co., 2,500,000 feet pine, 400,000 feet hemlock,
and 100,000 feet hardwood ; Central Lumber
Co., 2,000,000 feet pine; N. & A. E. Dyment,
about 7,000,000 feet pine and 140,000 cubic
feet board timber ; Hector MacDonald, 750,-
ooo feet pine ; Gordon & Dobie, 300,000 feet
hardwood ; W. R. Smyth, 400,000 feet pine ;
W. J. Miller, 100,000 feet ; Desbarats Mill,
400,000 feet ; Sims Lumber Co., 400,000 feet ;
Ed. Walls, 100,000 feet. The quantity of
hardwood and hemlock timber, railroad ties
and pulp wood taken out was considerably
greater than in the previous year, but the
quantity of board timber shows a decrease.
About 100,000 cords of pulp wood will be
exported from the district.

The past winter was a particularly active
season in the Rat Portage district, 25,000,000
feet of Canadian logs having beencut. There
will also be manufactured at Rat Portage and
Keewatin this season 30,000,000 feet of
American logs. There were taken out in the
Rat Portage district, 500,000 railway ties, 10,-
ooo telegraph poles, about 500,000 cedar
posts, and 20,000 cords of wood, No pulp
wood is taken out in the division owing to the
long haul by rail, but there is a good prospect
of a pulp mill being erected at Rat Portage in
the near future. An abundant qnantity of
timber is available, there being large tracts of
land along the Rainy river covered with
spruce, tamarack, poplar and birch, two-
thirds of which is pulp wood.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

to where tkey will have them manufac-
tured.

N. J. Warner, representing a Detroit
firm, has been buying large quantities of
timber in Wisconsin for exporting to
England. The timbers are 12 x 12 inches
and 50 to 60 feet long. Mr. Warner has
a contract to furnish 160 car-loads.

A manufacturer gives the following

The American Lumberman states that
about 100,000 cubic feet of waney board
pine, belonging to Alexander McCall, of
Simcoe, Ont., has been dumped into the
bay at Ashland, Wis. This stock will
make about four cargoes. It is an excep-
tionally fine lot of waney board, and will
be shipped to Great Britain to be used by
ship-builders.

A Buffalo dealer reviews the lumber
market as follows : “ We have plenty of
lumber on hand, and 6,000,000 feet of
good stuff bought at Lake Superior mills,
but we are short of both ends of the qual-
ities. We have not in the yard unsold
one foot of uppers, nor have wea mill cull
or foot of box lumber of any thickness,
nor a No. 3 barn board. Aside from
these we are well supplied.”

SHIPPING MATTERS.
The brig. T. Harry Stewart is loading
lumber at Digby, N. S., for the Cuban
market.

The barque Bessie Markham will load
lumber at St. John, N. B., for Beunos Ayres
at $9.50, if Rosaria $10.50. The ship Lennie
Burrell will load at same port for Beunos
Ayres.

The lumber rate from Lake Superior points
has opened at $2 per thousand to Lake Erie
ports and $2.25 to Chicago. These are the
highest rates known in years, and nearly 50
per cent. higher than those in effect one year
ago.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.

ONTARIO,

Most of the saw mills in Ontario have
resumed operations, prepared for a steady
séason’s work. Mills that remained idle
for the last two or three years have been
fitted up and put in motion, due to the
prosperous condition of the lumber trade
and of commerce generally. From every
section of the province comes the report
that lumber is selling freely, and at prices
more satisfactory than have ruled for
years. Not alone for the upper grades is
the demand active, but the common
gtades of pine and hardwoods are going
into consumption rapidly, and users are
compelled to keep constantly replenishing
their stocks. Within the past three months
there has been an all round advance in
lumber values, but the prices are not yet
high enough to afford a 1easonable margin
of profit, when it is considered that the
cost of labor and supplies to produce
lumber has likewise increased. It is
expected that considerable lumber cut in
Georgian Bay mills will find a market in
Michigan. .Already some sales have been
made in that quarter, and others are
almost certain to follow.

For shingles and lath there is a steady

-call and prices remain firm. The pro-

duction this year will likely be heavy, the
very satisfactory prices now ruling having
a tendency to stimulate manufacturing.
With the prospects of a good building
season, however, there is little fear of the
market being overstocked.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Disagreeable weather in Manitoba and
the Territories has somewhat retarded
sales of lumber, although a fair movement
is reported. Retail stocks are larger than
they were one year ago, and until they
have become reduced orders will not be
placed. A strike of carpenters in Winni-
peg has taken place, causing disturbance
to an otherwise promising building season.
It is hoped, however, to effect a settlement
at an early date. The mills in British
Columbia are working to their full capa-
city on local, eastern and export orders.

UNITED STATES.

There are no indications of weakness
in the United States lumber market.
Manufacturers have sold a considerable
portion of their season’s cut in advance,
and yet the most encouraging feature is
the prices which have been obtained. In
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and
other Atlantic coast cities, stocks are
short and prices advancing. At Tona-

wanda box lumber has advanced during
the past fortnight about one dollar per
thousand, and thick lumber has under-
gone a still further advance. When the
new cut is ready for the market, it is an-
ticipated that some grades will weaken
slightly, but no general decline in prices
is likely to take place. The box grades
of white pine are so thoroughly cleaned
up that present prices may be sustained
throughout the season, but lower quota-
tions will certainly be made on No. 3 and
No. 4 stock, which are out of proportion
to the other grades.

The hardwood market has been relieved
to some extent by the arrival at Eastern
States points of hardwood lumber from
the south. The demand, however, is
more than equal to the supply, and prices
are not weakening. Indeed, the require-
ments for manufacturing purposes are
such as will prevent any accumulation of
dry stock this season, and oak, ash, elm
and maple bid fair to hold their present
position.

There is a constantly increasing demand
for lath, and manufacturers are putting
forth every effort looking to a large pro-
duction. There is little fear, nevertheless,
of a material depreciation in prices.

FOREIGN.

The consumption of wood goods in the
British market continues to be of satisfac-
tory volume, and as no serious labor
troubles are anticipated, a prosperous
season is looked for. Spruce prices are
steadily strengthening. At London 3x9
third quality deals are selling at £7 15s.
per standard, and 3x11 at £8. Several
parcels of 3 x 10 are offering, but this size
does not seem to be popular. A slight
improvement is also reported in pine, and
at a recent auction sale broad first quality
It feet in length brought £22, 3x11 £20
I5s. to £22, 3 x9 second quality 412, third
quality £7 tos. to £8, and fourth quality
4615s. These prices show a slight ad-
vance. There is a like firmness in the
hardwood trade, and prices, while not ad-
vancing, are being firmly maintained.

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.

The shingle market continues very strong,
and prices are firmly maintained, with a con-
siderable tendency toward higher figures.
Quotations are: Extras, $3 to $3.10 ; clears,
$2.50 to $2.65 ; clear whites and 2nd clears,
$2 to $2.15, on strictly Boston freights. There
is not a shingle being offered to-day at less
than $3 basis, and the larger manufacturers are
holding at $3.10 to $3.15. They are not
securing a large amount of business at these
figures, but seem to feel that prices are sure to

come to them, and as they already have a
considerable number of orders on hand for the
opening of the season, do not care to accept
further business, unless at advanced figures.
There is not too great margin in $3.25 shingles,
with a heavy freight and 30 cents duty to pay,
and the indications strongly point toward a
realization of this basis before the market settles
down for the season. There is one thing that
may be said with full assurance, and that is,
that no manufacturer need be afraid to ask his
price for fear of not securing enough business
at going prices, and being compelled to take
less during July and August. The summer
market will be firmly maintained this year, and
lower prices are not to be feared in the least
degree.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

C. T. White, of Apple River, N.S., will
cut about 3,500,000 feet of lumber this
summer.

The Rat Portage Lumber Co. will, it is
reported, cut 60,000,000 feet of lumber
this season.

At Manistee, Mich., pine shingles are

selling at $2 and Extra Star cedars at
$1.85, on dock there.

The s.s. Greta is loading a cargo of
deals at Montreal for the U.K., shipped
by McLean, Kennedy & Co.

H. Cargill & Son, of Cargill, Ont., have
over 5,000,000 feet of logs cut and ready
to float down the river to their mill.

The Menominee River Lumber Co., of
Marinette, Wis., has sold its cut, esti-
mated at 20,000,000 feet, to A. S. Kibbee
& Son, of Albany, N. Y.

E. G. Filer, of Manistee, Mich., re-
cently sold to Tonawanda parties 6,000,-
000 feet of pine, to be shipped to Ashland,
Wis., as soon as possible.

Shingles in all grades are very scarce
in the Tonawanda market. The call for
18 inch XXXX pine shingles is pheno-
menal, and many orders are turned down
every day on account of the shortage of
stock.

At a recent auction sale of. Allison,
Cousland & Co., Greenock, Scotland, 43
logs of small waney boardwood, prime
quality, sold at Is. 5d., and a small quan-
tity of 11-inch spruce deals, 12 to 17 feet
long, at 93/d. to 104d.

C. J. Willis & Co. have cleared the first
steamer this season from Grindstone
Island, Que, for a British port. She
carried about 1,500,0co feet of lumber.
This firm expect to ship about 50,000,000
feet from this section of country this year.

The drives of R. A. Estey are all out
in the main Tobique river, in New Bruns-
wick, and are making excellent progress.
The drives of John Kilburn are also
coming along well. It is expected that
all the logs on the St. John river and
tributaries will be got out safely this
season.

The steamer Start is loading timber at
the Sillery Cove, Quebec, on account of
Dobell, Becket & Co. The Innishowen
Head is loading deals at Indian Cove,
Quebec, forthe U.K. The Rydal Holme
is loading deals at the Louise Basin,
Quebec, for H. R. Gooday & Son. The
Charemonto is completing her cargo with
deals on account of H. R. Gooday & Son.

In the Chicago market basswood is
selling at $22 for first and seconds, and
$17 for common. Birch is in good de-
mand, both white and red, the call being
about equal for firsts and seconds and
common. Cargoes of white pine have
lately arrived in the Chicago market. One
lot of piece stuff sold at $11.50 and a lot
of inch mill run at $15.50. Mixed green
lath is selling at $2.

High prices are being obtained in
Maine for logs. Geo. I. Westcott & Son,
Penvbscot river lumbermen, have sold to
Hastings & Stickland 750,000 feet of
spruce logs at $12 per thousand, and
250,000 feet vine Jogs at $14. It is re-
ported that Cornelius Murphy, of Old-
town, has completed the sale of 4,000,000
feet at $13 per thousand. These prices

are from $3 to $4 higher than were paid
last year.

The following rafts of timber have been
entered at the office of the Supervisor of
Cullers, Quebec: Mr. Charles Veillieux,
St. Lawrence docks, birch, etc.; Mr. Geo.
Madden, Louise embankment, birch ;
Mr. Gharles Veillieux, Ste. Anne de
Beaupre, birch; Mr. Nicholas Flood,
Louite embankment, birch, etc.; Mr. W.
E. Simpson, Simpson’s wharf, birch, etc.;
the St. Anthony Lumber Company, Cap
Rouge, pine; Mr. T. Bouchard, Louise
embankment, birch.

Commenting on a recent auction sale
held in London, England, the Timber
Trades Journal says: ‘‘The Quebec
goods, especially the lots representing
the balance of Sharples & Co.’s consign-
ments, realized approximately good re-
sults, and the regulars were apparently
favorably treated. The heavy limes ot
colonial goods put on the market does
not help prices, and very likely some
dullness in regular pine goods will pre-
vail while the auction lots are being
taken out of stock. The London de-
mand, however, is a very elastic one,
and the ab-orption of all these super-
fluities will not take very long. Spruce
stocks are not more than moderate, and
prices may harden considerably before
any serious additions are made to the
present supply. There is evidently a
much beiter feeling pervading the white-
wood market now than a couple of months
ago.”

The West Hartlepool correspondent of
the Timber News, Liverpool, Eng., says :
“The shipments of spruce to West Hartle-
pool and the Tyne show very conclusively
that good quality spruce can be got, but
that an interior quality is very prevalent.
One thing is certain, that if spruce of long
average and good quality be shipped, and
more care taken to ensure regularity of
manufacture, then the fight between
America and Sweden for the whitewood
trade will be very close. The inferior
quality and manufacture of spruce shipped
last year, in some cases, has prejudiced
buyers unduly, particularly where the
goods are required to be planed; still these
are defects that doubtless can and will be
remedied in the near future. The Swedish
shippers, for their part, will no doubt con-
sider the question of price, to meet the
American competition, and so keep the
hold on the east coast which they have
had so long.”

BUFFALO AND TONAWANDA.

[Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN. ]

There is a continuation of the good feeling in
all branches of the lumber trade, unless it be
the sash and blind industry, which is still too
much overdone to make any money. Hard-
wood is still taking the lead, though the pine
dealers are very sanguine. ‘‘Business is
moving along very nicely,” is the word from
all sources. There is so little complaint that
it may be said that a new atmosphere has
pervaded the entire business.

There is possibly one feature that is not so
entirely satisfactory, and that is the sharp ad-
vance in the price of certain woods and cuts
that are necessary to construction work. Hem-
lock is so high that some of the dealers are
looking for a decline or a substitution of some
cheap wood, like Norway, in its place unless
it comes down. The Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company has plans fora freight warehouse
that will take about a million feet of lumber,
but rather than pay the price for hemlock
there is an effort to build it of white pine
entirely.

A dealer who is well acquainted with the
Canadian trade expresses a fear that the extra
production of shingles will bring down the
price unless building springs up very fast. The
demand is good for them, but the advance in
price has set the mills to turning them out
much more rapidly thanformerly. For a long
time the price was low, with a good demand,
so that the production was kept down. It
is diferent now, and there is fear of over-
doing it, especially as the tariff does not shut
out Canadian shingles.

Of course, there is grim smiling fover the
squirming that certain lumbermen are doing
on account of the failure to remove the lumber
tariff. Even those who saw the mistake before
it was made, and fought against it, are quite
willing to smile over the predicament that the
Michigan lumbermen are finding themselves

in. There is no hope of relief now, much as
it is needed.

I learn from the Sullivans that they have
about withdrawn from Canada, as they are
not able to'find the hardwood lumber they
handle, especially elm and ash, in sufficient
quantity. Even the dealers in maple are re-
porting sales of that wood back to Canada at
better prices, sometimes, than they could
obtain for it here. This may have been a
mere special deal, but it shows that Canadian
hardwood is not holding out any better than
our own, to say the least.

The Black Rock yard of the Holland &
Emery Company is now about bare of lumber,
though the Byng Inlet mills of the company
will be started up this month. Most of the
cut will be sold in Canada, though it is the
intention to use the yard here for considerable
handling, and duty will be paid on quite a
largeamount. There is at least something m
that trade now, and the outlook is for more
before there is less.

Everybody is looking fora large demand
for lumber soon on account of the Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition, though at present the hesita-
tion over the selection of a site is holding opera-
tions back. There is no lack of enthusiasm
over the project, but some very perplexing
questions have arisen. The desirability of a
waterside site and the difficulty of adapting
the only available one to the requirements is
still puzzling the managers. It will probably
all be settled within a week, however.

Buffalo has gone ahead very much since the
establishment of the steel plant was announced.
In fact, it is quite a different city already, and
if other projects of an industrial nature, now in
the air, go through, there will be a new city here
at once. One of these is the bridge across
Grand Island ard the Niagara to connect the
New York Central and the Canadian Pacific,
which is now regarded as a certainty.

The Buffalo Lumber Exchange took action
last week, confirming the rule not to allow
more than 1% per cent. discount on cash
orders or accept notes of more than 60 days.
This rule was made during the winter, but the
Saginaw trade asked that it be reduced to
signature, so this was done. It is the intention
to cover the eastern pine trade in the same
way. There is really no complaint of cutting
prices by this method, but it was quite
common during the dull times.

The Buffalo lumbermen have arranged to
hold a number of outings this summer, and at
the jJast meeting of the Exchange, F. W.
Vetter and A. P. Strong were made the com-
mittee of arrangemenrs.

The lake trade is opening up so very late
that only about two cargoes of lumber arrived
in April. The Loud Company was first in,
but most of the first cargoes, the Wyoming
and Ketcham, went to Tonawanda. There is
much complaint that the goverment is neglect-
ing thetrade, much to its disadvantage, by not
putting down the buoys in Niagara river. So
far not a stick has been displayed, and the
boats are afraid to make the trip to Black
Rock and Tonawanda.

Dealers are complaining of the $2 lumber
rate, but it is as little as the barges can live on,
and ought to be held. The canal rate has
opened at $1.75 to New York, and there is
considerable business.

There is not so much pine lumber in the upper
lake yards for shipment by lake as there would
have been ifthe price had .been lower, for it
has been taken out all-rail to a great extent.
Yards here are not in as much need of pine
this spring as was feared, for the grades are
quite generally all in yet. The great demand
is for box lumber of all sorts, as the box trade
has been brisk for some time and promises to
remain so this season.

The Hoo-Hoo cuntatenation came late this
winter, but tt is over and all is well. Both
Chicago and Boston wasin it this time. J. B.
Wall is again the ruling Snark. The intention
announced early in the winter to hold a con-
catenation in Toronto appears to have been
given up.

DEMAND FOR BROOM HANDLES.

The United States consul at Birmingham,
England, recently stated that there was a large
demand in that town for American broomsticks,
which appeared to be very scarce, partly owing
to the fact that the broom handle wanted must
be 42 inches long, 1% inches in diameter and
the same size at both ends, whereas the Ameri-
can handle is 38 inches long and %-inch
in diameter at one end, tapering to 34-inch at
the other. He also says that the English insist
upon having spruce handles, and expect to pay
from $15 to $18 a thousand, whereas the lum-
ber from which these are cut is worth from $23
to $24 a thousand feet in the boards. The
handles used in this country are mostly bass-
wood or birch, but so far the attempt to intro-
duce these into England has not met with
success. —American Lumberman.

The failure is announced of E. H. Barton &
Son, timber merchants, London, Eng. No
Canadian firms are believed to be interested.

THE BARBADOS MARKET.

From the report of S. P. Musson, Son & Co.
the following particulars of the Barbados
lumber market are extracted :

The Mecedese arrived from Belliveau Cove,
N.S., with 162 M feet spruce. This was sold at
$15 for shipping boards, $11 for second quality,
and $12 for plank. There seems to be but
little demand for spruce, the course of the
market of late being disappointing. In white
pine there have been no receipts, and the
position is stronger. One or two small cargoes
would bring about $20 for good shipping,
with customary difference for second quality.
In shingles there is a fair enquiry for the
cheaper grades of cedar laying, which would
sell at $2 or thereabouts. The Duart Castle
brought some 300 M long Gaspe cedar, which
were placed at $5.35, and a small lot of 6, 5,
4 and 3 inch sold at $6.55, $5.55. $4.55 and
$3.55 respectively. While these shingles have
been readily taken by some of the dealers,
others are holding aloof, anticipating some-
what lower figuresin the future; at the same
time, much will depend on the extent of ship-
ments,

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

The reports from the mills throughout
Ontario state that trade 1s unusualiy
brisk, every grade and almost every
variety of pine and hardwood being in
demand. One manufacturer writes that
he has not experienced as good a demand
for thirteen years, and that prices are
more satisfactory than for a long time.
This is the universal opinion of lumber-
men generally. Many of the mills have
shipped out their entire holdings of dry
stock, and are crowded with orders for
this season’s production. Some manu-
facturers bclieve that prices of some
grades of pine will still further advance in
the near future, but on this point the
trade are by no means unanimous.
Manufacturers of hardwoods are holding
firmly to prices, and many of them have
disposed of the bulk of this season’s cut
at high figures. Shingles are in active
demand and are being shipped as fast as
manufactured.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The lumbermen of the eastern provinces
are hopeiul of a more prosperous season
than last year. Prices of square and
waney timber are quite as good, and
indications point to an advance in the
near future, particularly in the price of
first-class waney pine. Spruce deal prices
are also strengthening. About $ro is the
average quotation for deals delivered at
St. John, N.B., and some large sales have

been made at this figure. That this
Price is yet too Jow js borne out by the
fact that $8 per thousand is being paid by
«he manufacturers for logs, leaving only
$2 per thousand to cover the cost of
manufacture and marketing. The drives
are coming along well, and few logs are
I'kely to be hung up.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The lumber trade in Manitoba and the
Territories 1s not opening up as briskly as
was anticipated. Country business has
been interfered with by wet weather and
bad roads, and in Winnipeg a strike of
carpenters has caused delay in building
Operations. Unless an early settlement
of the trouble is effected, it may lead to
the postponement of some contemplated
building until next season. Notwith-
standing these obstables, lumber dealers
and manufacturers generally look for a
large consumption of lumber this year.
In British Columbia all the mulls are
working to their full capacity, and the
outlook is quite encouraging. A building
boom at Vancouver and New West-
minster 1s creating an unusually heavy
demand for building material, and con-
sequently prices are stiffening.

UNITED STATES.

Much speculation is indulged ing as to
the course which prices will take. It
might be expected, at this season of the
year when the mills are resuming oper-
ations, that a weakening tendency would
be observable. This has not been the
case as yet with respect to white pine,
although it is believed that there will be a
slight decline in prices of the lower grades
in the near future. In hardwoods, oak
and ash are likely to remain at present
quotations for some time, but basswood,
elm and maple are already easier, although
there is no quotable change in prices.
These woods are being placed on the
market more freely, but still the supply is
not equal to the demand. A specially
favorable feature is the fact that not for
many years has the future output been so
generally contracted for.

At Tonawanda thick pine uppers, se-
lects and fine common are constantly
enquired for, and prices on this class of
stock are said to have advanced $2 per
thousand within the past week. Shingles
and lath are m good demand in all the
eastern markets. The latter are selling at
$2.25 for white pine.

FOREIGN.

The tone of the British lumber market

is decidedly firmer. Sales of pine deals

have been effected in Londcn at prices
which reveal a healthier state of demand
than was expected. First quality deals,
particularly of broad dimensions, have
realized good prices, while the market has
also absorbed large quantities of under-
sized third and fourth quality pine without
any further weakening. For second and
third quality, average size, the demand is
not so active, but fourth quality are selling
freely, 11 inch and up being quoted at £6
17s 6d to £7 4s 4d. Red pine deals
maintain their strong position, and in the
absence of an adequate supply, prices
show a tendency to advance. There isa
noticeable improvement in the spruce
trade, and a large coast and continental
business is being effected at better prices
than could have been obtained in the
earlier months of the year. Birch timber
and planks are enquired for, but elm, ash
and.oakcontinue somewhat dull. Thestock
of waney pine is low and prices steady.
First class square pine meets with ready
sale, the present stock consisting princi-
pally of small and inferior wood. Detailed
particulars of the Glasgow and Liverpool
markets will be found elsewhere.

A number of vesssels have been char-
tered to carry lumber from St. John, N.
B., and other eastern ports to France,
and it would appear that this market will
consume a considerable quantity of the
Canadian product. The South American
demand is also expanding, calling for
special bills and dimensions.

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES,

The market continues very strong, prices
ruling at Boston points being the same as
quoted last week, viz: Extras, $3 to $3.10;
clears, $2.50 to $2.65 ; clear whites and 2nd
clears, $2 to $2.15. The higher figures are
being readily Obtained for reasonably prompt
shipment, orders at these figures being much
more plentiful than a week since, showing a
hardening tendency in the market. Stocks in
retail hands are very low, and consumption is
large. Very few manufacturers are running
their mills as yet, and are all well provided
with orders, so that it is safe to assume that
prices will be at least no lower, and that a
still further advance may shortly take effect.
It is believed that the orders now in the hands
ofthe manufacturers would, if equally divided
amongst all, keep every mill in the business
hard at work till after July 1st. This being
the case, there ought to be no question as to
prices being firmly maintained throughout the
summer,

CANADIAN LUMBER WANTED.

300,000,000 feet of lumber that will be
manufactured this year by the twenty one
mills) on the Nenominee river, in Wis-
consin, has aiready been sold.

Of the eighteen sawmills at the lower
end of the Saginaw river, in Michigan,
eleven are in operation. The others de-
pend upon Canadian logs, and will pro-
bably remain idle this season.

Cooperage stock has recently under-
gone a considerable advance, as will be
observed by reference to the pricelist else-

where. Jointed elm staves and coiled
elm -hoops -have advanced about 50
cents.

Pelton & Reid, of :Cheboygan, Mich.,
cut a quantity of logs on Indian reserve
lands in the Georgian Bay district last

The contract has been awarded !o Robert-

Up to May Ist there arrived at London,
Eng., from the St. Lawrence, 11,000
pieces of pine deals and 73,000 of spruce
deals, against 6,000 and 10,000 pieces re-
spectively in 1898. From New Bruns-
wick there arrived 9,000 pieces of spruce
deals and 39,000 pieces of birch plank
this year, against 145,000 and 32,000
pieces respectively in 1898.

Since the rst of January the lumber
exports from St. John, N.B., to United
States ports have been as follows: Lum-
ber, 32,000,000 feet; Jaths, 37,000,000
pieces; shingles, 13,000,000 ; piling, 2,-
271,000 pieces. Vessels other than winter
port steamers have since the first of the
year taken to British ports over 18,000,000
sup. feet of deals, etc., and there have also
been shipments to South America, West
Indies and Canary Islands.

Douglas L. White & Co., wholesale
lumber dealers, Albany, N.Y., write that
stocks at that point are badly broken, and
as yet very little lumber has been 1eceived
from the west, In the course of two or
three weeks lumber will be coming in
freely, and the assortment will be much
better. Common lumber has advanced
from $1 to $3, and good lumber nearly the
same amount over last year’s prices. 4/4
and 5/4 box is about cleaned out of the
market.

The American Lumberman says: ‘“‘New
Brunswick white cedar 16-inch shingles
are in active demand in New England,
and command 25 cents per thousand more
than the Michigan and Wisconsin pro-
duct. It is not clained that New Bruns-
wick cedar is of quality superior to the
western growth, but the habit of long use

has popularized the product to the extent
that it )s hard to replace it in that section.
Producers of western cedar shingles of
really first class manufacture can do some
successful missionary work in the east at
the present time.

From the last report of Clairmonte,
Man & Co. the following particulars of
the Barbadoes lumber market are ob-
tained : There have been no recent arriv-
als of white pine, and a better demand is
reported, quotations being $20 to $2t.
Spruce isin moderate demand. Last sale
was made at $15.27 for first quality and
$11.c7 for second quality. There is only
a limited demand for shingles, and should
they arrive in any large quantity, a break
in prices is looked for. Sales of long
Gaspe cedar have been made at $5.35,
Halifax cedar at $3.16, cedar laying at
$2.07, and spruce laying at $2.27 %.

Tenders were recently invited by the
Harbor Commissioners of Montreal for
the supply of timber and planks. The
following are the lowest tenders received:
The whole of the contract, the W. H.
Kelly Lumber Co., $26,690; all the tim-
ber, without the planks, H. Dupre, $24,-

LIVERPOOL MARKET REPORT.

Duncan, Ewing & Co., of Liverpool, Eng.,
in their last monthly circular, say :

Wuite Ping T1IMBER.—The consumption
during April amounted to only 18,000 feet of
waney and 1,000 feet of square pine. The
market for square wood is very dull and prices
low, but values of waney pine are steady.

RED PINE.—3,000 feet have gone into con-
sumption during the month, and the stock on
hand is now only 5,000 feet. Prices are
steady, but the demand is not brisk.

Oak Locs.—The deliveries during the
month have been on a moderate scale and the
stock is excessive for this time of the year.

ELM.—Two parcels have been imported
during the month and have found a ready
market at satisfactory prices. The stock on
hand is light and the demand good; values
have an upward tendency.

BirCH.—The import for April amounted to
44,000 feet, and the deliveries to 56,000; the
demand has been very satisfactory and prices
are steady, St. Bag! wood realizing from 164d
to 172d for 144 to 153 inches average ; Falta
wood, 15% to 16 inches, at about 15d to 154d
per foot. Of birch planks the import has
exceeded the delivery, and stocks are very
heavy, values running low.

PINE Deas, Sipincs, ETC.—Stocks are
still excessive, and the market continues in an
unsatisfactory condition, sales being very difh-
cult to make for forward delivery.

N.B. anp N.S. Spruce DEeALs.—The im-
port during April amounted to 3,024 standards
and the deliveries to 3,785 standards. The
stock on hand is small and there is a scarcity
of the favorite sizes and iong lengths. Values
are steady, St. John cargoes being worth about
£4 7s 6d c.i.f,, and lower port cargoes about
LO 58 ex quay.

QueBec Spruce Dgars.—The deliveries
during the month amounted to 318 standards,
the stock on hand being now only 573 stand-
ards. The demand continues good, but
prices are lower in sympathy with the re-
duced rate of freight from the St. Lawrence to
Liverpool.

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.
The cedar shingle market is firm at last
quotations, viz., extras $3.10; clears $2.60 to
$2.65 ; 2nd clears. and clear whites $2.15.
Only very few of the mills are running as
yet, and these are full of orders. Stocks in
sight on dealers’ yards are very light, and the
demand for actual consumption is certainly
more than normal. There are, therefore,
absolutely no signs of any weakening in
prices, and all manufacturers can have full
confidence as to their ability to get their price,
and should not allow their representatives to
name lower figures than those quoted above.

The steam saw mill of David Galbraith, in
Stoke township, near Sherbrooke, Que., was
destroyed by fire on the 20th inst.; no insur-
ance,

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

A review of the lumber trade of the past
week must necessarily be much of a repe-
tition of what was said in last issue. Con-
ditions have not changed, excepting that
the movement of lumber has increased.
Wherever any dry stocks of pine are to be
found, they are being shipped ont as
rapidly as possible to supply the require-
ments of dealers and consumers. There
is, in fact, very little stock offering, but
some manufacturers are known to be hold-
ing their lumber for higher prices,
which they believe they will be able to
realize later in the season. Whether
prices will advance beyond the present
basis is a question on which opinions differ
greatly, but this much may be safely said,
that all indications point to a continuation
of the present brisk demand and to the
maintenance of existing prices. There is
a steadily increasing local demand, to
which the lumbermen are giving more
than the usual attention. In addition to
this and to the customary British demand,
Canadian trade in the United States is
reviving. Representatives of Eastern
States houses are touring the Ottawa and
Georgian Bay districts in search of lum-
ber, lath and shingles, the prices at
Duluth and upper lake points having ad-
vanced to such a point as to turn their
attention to Canada. Considerable lum-
ber is being shipped by rail from Ontario
points to Albany and Oswego. A good
trade is doing in hardwoods, some of the
mills making shipments of the new cut.
Prices remain firm in every class and
grade.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,

The Quebec timber market is strength-
ening. Prices of waney pine show signs
of advancing, and it is learned that mer-
chants fear a scarcity of square white oak,
as much of the western production has
been contracted for. Shipments of deals
from St. Lawrence ports to Great Britain
are made almost daily, and the harbors
present ascene of activity. There has
been a marked improvement in the de-
mand for New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia deals, and particularly for South
American cargoes. Many of the manufac-
turers have sold all their summer’s cut at
prices which are considered very satisfac-
tory, and which are believed to average

about $9.50 per thousand at the mill. As
old stocks have practically passed out of
the hands of manufacturers, and the cut
for several months having been very
largely contracted for, it is almost certain
that fall orders will bring higher prices.

The drives are reaching the mills in good
time, and very few logs are likely to be
hung up.

Laths and clapboards are now finding
a market in the Eastern States, where
prices have advanced considerably of late.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Lumber is moving only moderately in
Manitoba and the Territories, but trade is
expected to become more active in the
near future. The strike of carpenters at
Winnipeg has not yet been amicably ad-
justed, and consequently building opera-
tions are almost at a standstill. There is
no material change in the British Colum-
bia trade. Foreign business is good, and
over a dozen vessels are taking on lumber
at the different ports.

UNITED STATES.

The position ef the lumber trade of the
United States continues to be one of great
strength. Instead of the new cut reliev-
ing the situation to any extent, the de-
mand has continued to expand in such a
degree that the scarcity of stock has even
become intensified. From the new Eng-
land and New York states come
reports tnat retail prices are steadily ad-
vancing, and consequently wholesale
dealers are more inclmed to purchase
lumber at the high prices asked by manu-
facturers. Buyers have scoured the lake
shipping ports in search of lumber with
which to fill out depleted stocks, but
purchases have not been numerous owing
to the meagre supply available. The
Tonawanda market is practically cleaned
out of box lumber and No. 2 barn, and
orders for this stock are being turned
down constantly. The demand for the
better grades is on the increase, and
dealers have no difficulty in turning over
their holdings at a fair margin of profit.

The hardwood trade is still restricted
on account of scarcity of supply. Only in
basswood has the new cut provided any
relief, as it will be several weeks yet
before dry stock of the other woods can
be marketed. In ash and hickory prices
are likely to remain at the present standard
throughout the year, but towards the fall
prices of maple, elm, birch and basswood
may weaken slightly. There is not likely,
however, to be any serious break in prices,
as the consuming industries throughout
the country are certain to continue in
active operation.

FOREIGN.

In the British market lumber continues
to go actively into consumption, and spot
prices arestrengthening. The market for
spruce deals at Liverpool, Manchescer
and other ports is remarkably strong, and
stocks have become depleted of favorite
dimensions. Pine is also being purchased
freely at fair prices. As to hardwoods, it
is stated that there never was a time when
dry oak stocks were so scarce at London,
and early arrivals should meet with a
ready sale.

The French market exhibits a firm tone,
and a considerable quantity of Canadian
lumber is likely to be marketed there this
year. These conditions also apply to the
South American trade, which 1s in a par-
ticularly prosperous condition.

II.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

In our weekly edition of May 3rd, the
price of British Columbia red cedar No. 1
shingles, 6 butts to 2 inches, was given as
$2.25 per M. This should have read
$2.55

The barque Brunel is loading 1,500,000
of lumber at the Royal City Planing
Mills, New Westminster, for South
America. She will return to same port
for another cargo.

T. Sullivan & Co., of Buffalo, have
rented the Hertel ave. and dock end of
the Holland & Emery yard, and ace filling
it up with hardwood lumber from Michi-
gan, chiefly maple, elm, ash and basswood.

The town of Orillia, Ont., have accept-
ed the tender of A. Macpherson & Co., of
Longford Mills, for the supply of pine
plank at $12 and tamarac plank at $10,
and that.of Drinkwater Bros. for cedar at
$9.50.

Alger, Smith & Co’s. log drive of about
100,000 pieces has been successfully
brought down the Arrow and Pigeon
rivers. These logs were cut on exempted
limits, and will be towed to Michigan to
be manufactured.

The Harbor Commissioners of Mon-
treal have divided the contract for timber
and planks as follows: W. H. Kelly
Lumber Co., $11,860 ; H. Dupre, $8,214.-
70 ; Robert Acker, $3,750; Shearer &
Brown Co., $2,528.

There is a great scarcity of clear butt
pine shingles at Buffalo,some yards having
closed out their entire stock at $2.75 for
18-inch, and $2.25 to $2.35 for 16-inch.
The higher grades of shingles are in better
stock, as there is plenty of red cedar to
help out.

The Rathbun Company are said to have
a larger number of logs in the streams
this spring than ever before. Mr. Wm.
Madill states that the company have 1000
men employed on the drives, the largest
of which is on the Black river, and
amounts to 16,500,000 feet.

It is reported that the Gibson Railway
& Manufacturing Co., at the head of
which is Mr. Wm. Gibson, of Marysville,
have purchased all of the lands in New
Brunswick owned by the New Brunswick
and Nova Scotia Land Company. The
lands comprise about 26,500 acres.

Prices of lumber in the Boston market
are strong, the spruce men holding firmly
to their agreement. The increased saw-
ings have a tendency to ease the situation
somewhat, but no surplus of stock is in
sight, and prospects are good for a con-
tinuation of profitable prices on all the
spruce to be marketed this season.

Of the Barbados market, Messrs. Clair-
monte, Man & Co., in their report of May
13th, say: Since last advices there have
been two arrivals with white pine to a
comparatively bare market. The cargo
per Fauna was placed at $22.30 for first
and $16.30 fur second quality. The spruce
demand continues good, the cargo of the
Herbert Rice, reported in our last, being sold
as follows : 126 M. ft. boards, $15 ($15.25
for a portion landed in Speightstown) ; 16
M. ft. scoots, $11. The damage done to
houses by the hurricane in September last
has now been repaired, and should shingles
now arrive in any large quantity, we look
for a sharp break in prices. Last sales of
long Gaspe cedar: Ex Duart Castle, at
$5.35 per M.; Halifax cedar, $3.16; cedar
laying, $2.07; spruce laying, $2.27% ;
cypress, last sale 6-inch hearts, $9.11 ;
saps, $6.50.

It is reported that Tonawanda dealers
will issue a new price list shortly making
an advance of about one dollar per thous-
and on nearly all grades of lumber. The
situation at Buffalo and Tonawanda is
peculiar. Every giade of pine lumber: is
selling at better figures than last year,.
and yet it is a fact that the lumber cannot
be replaced to-day at the prices at which
itis being sold. Mill culls have sold for
months past at better prices than box was
offered at one year ago, and it is claimed
that box lumber is selling now in Menom-
inee at as high a price as it was sold for
in Buffalo. A Buffalo dealer recently
received an enquiry for spruce, a lumber
that is worth about $2 more than hem-

lock, but which seldom makes its way
further west than Syracuse, on account of
the general use of hemlock for nearly
everything that spruce would answer for.

The Albany correspondent to the New
York Lumber Trades Journal says :, One
effect of the rise in values here has been
to open up a market with us for Canadian
lumber, notwithstanding the tariff of $2
per thousand on lumber imported from
that country. The Canadian manufac-
turers, while enjoying a good export trade
with England, were not slow to take. ad-
vantage of the opportunity to ship lumber
over the border, so soon as it could be
done profitably. Already representatives
of Albany concerns have been or are now
looking through the Canadian markets
for choice blocks of pine and spruce to
supply the demand here. The run on
spruce this spring has been exceptionally
heavy, and the dealers say that the entire
stock at the mills has been sold at least
two months ahead. Some new spruce is
coming in daily by the canal, but the
stock is still light. Orders come in un-
solicited, in fact, spruce sells itself this
year without drumming.

A dealer who recently returned from a
tour of the white pine markets of the
npper lakes, reports that there 1s absolute-
ly no dry box lumber for sale. There is
very little 14 inch box at any point, as the
price of boards is so satisfactory that the
manufacturers are turning all their logs
into that class of lumber. At the head of
the lakes, Duluth and Ashland mills will
cut this season fully 100,000,000 feet more
lumber than last year, but this will be
more than offset by the falling off in pro-
duction at Bay City, Mich., where it is
estimated that the cut will not exceed
100,000,000, against nearly 300,000,000
feet in 1898. All dry lumber at Ashland
and Duluth has been sold, and more than
half of the present season’s cut contracted
for by eastern wholesalers. Two years
ago Duluth carried over an immense
stock of No. 3 and 4 boards, while the
present situation is that nearly all of
this class of stock has been purchased.

Concerning the sale of wood goods held
by Churchill & Sim, London, Eng., on the
Toth inst., and the result of which is given
elsewhere, the Timber Trades Journal
says: “Prices for almost everything was
satisfactory, not omitting the balance of
the pine and spruce sold tor account of
Richard R. Dobell & Co. The Hawkes-
bury third pine regulars, a poor lot, not
better than good fourths, were well com-
peted for, and sellers were able, no doubt,
to congratulate themselves on the values
obtained. These balance cargoes, of
course, rarely represent the best of their
kind, and are credited with being well
picked over before being finally committed
to the hammer, but there are exceptions.
The first quality spruce (selected) £10 5s,
were, of course, worth the money;
ordinary brought £9, but there was only
one lot of it. Thirds, out of the “ Ktim,”
at £7 Ios to £8, showed aslight harden-
ing. The common spruce from Grind-
stone Island found customersup to £6 Ios.
As stated, the pine was not in attractive
specifications, and thongh very well com-
peted for, realized proportionately cheap
values.”

THE BOSTON MARKET.

The Boston correspondent of the New York
Lumber Trades Journal, referring to Jumber
prices, says :

Owing to the great demand for pulp wood,
the cutting of lumber has been neglected
the past winter, and at the best the crop of
spruce lumber will be a small one. Here the
demand is quick for orders, or at least there is
difficulty in placing orders for lumber wanted
immediately. This makes the market very
firm with prices higher: Frames, nine inch
and under, $15.50 to $16; ten and twelve
inch, $16.50 ; ten inch random lengths, $15 ;
2x3, 2x4 and 3x4random lengths, $14;
2x 5, 2x6 and 2x7 random lengths, $14.50 ;
all other random lengths, nine inches and
under, $15; six inch and up merchantable
boards, ten feet and up, $12.50 to $13; five
inch and up out-boards, $10 to $10.50;
bundled furring, $12. 50.

Hemlock lumber is very firm, following in
the wake of spruce. The supply is also
limited. Dimensions, $12.50 to $13.50;
boards, $11 to $12.50; No. 1, $10 to $10.50;
planed one side and matched, $12 to $13;
Pennsylvania, $11.50 to $13.50.

Western pine is in good shape with the
market firm, by reason of a good demand in
the west. Uppers, one inch, $52 to $54; one
and one-quarter to two inch, $53 to $56;
three to four inch, $58 to $62. Selects, one
to four inch, $40 to $60; fine common, one
to three inch, $40 to $52. Sheathings, $36

to $42; barn boards, $18 to $28; coffin
boards, $19 to $23.
Clapboards are doing 4 little better. Extra

spruce, $28 to $29; clear, $26 to $27;
second clear, $23 to $25; pine extra, $38 to
$40 ; clear, $34 to $36; second clear, $30 to
$35:

Shingles are firmer, with a better demand.
Extra cedar, best brands, $2.90 to $3.10;
clear, $2.70 to $2.90; second clear, $2.25 to
$2.50 ; Oregon shingles, strictly clear, extra,
sixteen inch, $2.80 to $3; extra star A star,
$2.50; standard A, $2.373 to $2.40; choice
A, $2.70.

Laths are in quiet request. Five-eighths
inch, $2 to $2.15 ; one-half inch, $1.90 to $2.
The retail lumber dealers have established the
following prices on shingles: Extra, $3.50;
clear, $3; second clear, $2.50. The retail
dealers have also made the following prices on
hemlock boards: No. 1 Pennsylvania, eight,
ten and twelve inch wide, twelve, fourteen
and sixteen feet long, $17; No. 2 stock
widths, $15; No. 2 random widths, $14;
other hemlock, planed one side, stock lengths,
$16 ; random lengths, $15.

THE LOG DRIVES IN NEW BRUNSWICK.

The drives on the upper St. John river, in -

New Brunswick, are coming along well. The

Fredericton Gleaner of May 17th says:

The logs have come out of the brooks and
streams in good time as far as known, and very
good progress has in some instances been made
or the river. The corporation drive on the
Tobique, however, is getting along slowly,
and is having considerable difficulty. For in-
stance, at Red Rapids, about twelve miles
from the mouth of the Tobique, there are
about 7,000,000 feet of logs in wings. This
drive -was at George Everett’s on Monday,
about 15 miles above Plaster Rock. It is
thought that it will reach Plaster Rock to-day.

Judson Hale reached corporation limits on
the main Tobique on Saturday with 6,000,000
feet.

McCollum, who operated on the right hand
branch of the Tobique, and got into corpora-
tion limits last week, has 3,000,000 feet.

Mr. Nairn, who also operates on the right
hand branch of the Tabique, reached the limits
a week ago to-day with his first drive, 4,000,-
000 feet, for Hilyard Bros. He has gone back
for about 400,000 feet which he left on the ice.

R. A. Estey’s Two Brook operation, which
reached the corporation limits last Wednesday,
consists of about 3,500,000 feet.

George Upham, also on the Tobique, reached
the corporation limits with 3,500,000 feet last
week.

Keswick, on Grand river, who reached the
limits last week, has 2,500,000 feet for Ran-
dolph & Baker.

It was reported that Kilburn, on the head
waters of the St. John, had reached the cor-
poration limits last week also, but this is not
credited here, for the reason that other operat-
ors this side of the limits have not themselves
been able to get in yet.

On the upper St. John the cut will be:

LUMBER HANDLERS’ SCALE AT BUFFALO.

On account of the differences existing between
the grain shovellers and freight handlers at
Buffalo, tbe lumber contractors took advantage
of the situation and made a claim for an ad-
vance in the price for unloading forest products,
also for stowing on the docks. After consul-
tation, the stevedore committee of the Buffalo
Lumber Exchange acceded to their demands.
The following prices have therefore been agreed
upon for unloading, effective May 22 : Log run
white pine, including strips and mill culls, 26
cents a thousand; shorts, 44 cents ; 14 inch
strips in lots in hold, 36 cents ; Norway, I to 2
inches, not over 18 feet, 26 cents ; Norway
bill stuff, 3, 4 and 5 inches, 32 cents ; hemlock
same as for Norway. This is an advance of 4
cents per thousand all round. Lath, 7 4 cents
a thousand, an advance of ¥ cent ; shingles, 18

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

If the lumber situation has undergone
any change within the past week, it has
been in the direction of further improve-
ment. Mills are busy shipping out stock,
and orders now placed cannot be filled
for weeks to come. Each day brings its
business, and the volume of trade contin-
ues to swell. As building operations for
the season have only fairly commenced,
the lumber requirement for this purpose,
for one month at least, is likely to expand
rather than decline. There may be a
falling off in trade during the summer
months, but no one believes that the de-
mand will slacken to any extent, as con-
suming industries have light supplies on
hand and must continue to add to their
stock. All grades of pine find a ready
market, while pine lath is scarce and ad-
vancing in price; the wholesale price
in Toronto 1s $1.60 for No. 1 and $1.25 for
No. 2. Pine shingles, 16-inch XXX, sell
at $2.40 wholesale, and XX at $1.50.
Dealers still report a great scarcity of
hardwoods. Prices have been well main-
tained generally, although maple is not
being purchased to any extent, and conse-
quently there 1s a possibility of weakening
values. Manufacturers are asking $12
for mill run maple, a price which dealers
believe to be out of proportion to the
other woods, in view of the available
supply. Soft elm, mill run, is selling in
Toronto at $16 to $18 for inch and inch
and one-half, and $17 to $19 for two to
three inch. There has been an advance
of about five dollars per thousand in
quartered oak, which nows sells at $50
to $60 in Toronto.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The lumber trade in Montreal is some-
what unsettled owing to the recent fail-
ures. The business conducted by John
A. Bulmer & Cc. was quite extensive, the
liabilities being over $200,000. No
sooner had this assignment become gen-
erally known than the embarrassment was
announced of A. P McLaurin & Co. In
both of these failures a number of lumber-
men, in city and elsewhere, are interested.
These occurrences are but another indica-
tion that lumber is being sold on a margin
of profit altogether toosmall. So far as ex-
port trade is concerned, business is in
good shape, and quite alarge number of
vessels have been chartered for June and
July loading. The tendency of prices is
to advance.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,

The strike in the building trade at

Several

Winnipeg has been settled, and lumber is
likely to move actively in the near future.
Trade at present is rather quiet both on
city and country account, but the season
promises well and dealers are pleased
with the prospects. Tee production of
lumber this year bythe Lake of the Woods
mills will be greater than ever before. In
British Columbia the mills are unable to
supply the demand for lumber, and as a
result building operations have been kept
back. Every day new building projects
loom up, and it is feared that some of the
cities will be overdone in this respect.
Foreign trade is in a prosperous condi-
tion, but vessels are scarce.

- UNITED STATES.

The transactions of the past week show
conclusively that the lumber market of the
United States is steadily improving,
Prices at the mills have been maintained,
and wholesale prices, which have been the
weak spot in the trade, are getting into
line. There has been a heavy movement
of stock to the eastern markets, where
trade has picked up wonderfully within
the past month. The improvement is not
confined to pine and hardwoods, but ex-
tends to all classes of lumber, and particu-
larly to hemlock, which has undergone
another advance of 75 cents per thousand.

At New York the scarcity of dry lumber
is becoming more marked day by day,
and with a large amount of building
arranged for, a season of great activity is
assured. A scarcity of lath and shingles
is still reported at Buffalo, although these
are being received freely by vessel. The
famine in hardwoods is still the feature of
that trade. In many markets green lum-
ber is being sold to consumers at practic-
ally the prices formerly prevailing for dry
stock. As the season advances the opin-
ion 1s gaining ground that there will be no
weakening in hardwood prices this sum

mer, especially as much of the production
of this year is already contracted for.
furniture manufacturers in the
east are said to have ceased turning out
certain lines of their output, Simply be-
cause they cannot obtain the lumber nec-
essary for their production.

FOREIGN,

The impression, prevalent inthe British
market earlier in the season, that the
supplies forthcoming would prove the
heaviest for some years, has been con-
siderably modified, and instead merchants
now entertain the possibility that the pro-
duction at the various mills abroad may
turn out to be quite limited. This fact is
having an effect upon prices of both Baltic
and Canadian stock. In Baltic white-
wood a firming tendency is reported, and
there seems a probability that prices may
go 5s. higher before long. Spruce deals
are also strengthening, and some con-
tracts have recently been made at con-
siderably advanced prices. At Liverpool

II.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

some stocks from Shediac have sold at
£6 8s 9d c.1.f., and others in proportion.
A point on which merchants are not
unanimous 1s the course which spruce
prices are likely to take later in the
season. There aie a few who believe
that values will not go beyond their
present basis, but those most closely in
touch with the trade believe that the
highest point has not yet been reached.
The demand is so good at present that all
the first imports will go direct into con-
sumption. There is no material change
inthe pine market, while hardwoods are
inclined to strengthen.

The German market is in good condi-
tion, but buyers in France are exhibiting
much cauticn. A number of vessels have
been chartered to load at maritime pro-
vince ports for Cuba and other West
India Islands, where trade is steadily
reviving.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

Sprague’s saw mill at Winnipeg re-
sumed operations last week, the first drive
of logs having arrived.

The barque Cedar Croft cleared from
St. John, N. B., last week for Rosario,
with 955,914 feet of dry lumber, shipped
by A. Cushing & Co.

The Assiniboine Lumber Company, of
Brandon, Manitoba, are reported to have
sold their mill, lumber in stock, and logs
cut last winter, to John Hanbury, of that
place.

The Department of Interior at Ottawa
invites tenders up to June 26th for a
license to cut timber in British Columbia
on berths containing an area of 60 square
miles.

It is reported that J. & T. Conlon, of
Little Current, Ont., have disposed of all
the lumber now in their yard, and that
their mill will resume operations at an
early date.

The logs cut on the St. Croix river, in
New Brunswick, last winter, will contain
about 13,000,000 feet. The owners are
James Murchie & Sons. H. F. Eaton &
poms Granville Chase and F, H. Todd &

on.

Raft towing from the Georgian Bay
district to Michigan has commenced.
It is now estimated that not over 75,000,-
ooo feet of Canadian logs, cut prior to
April 30, 1898, and on exempted lands,
will be taken across the lake this season.

At Toledo, Ohio, a noticeable feature is
the increased demand for good lumber.
Shop and better, and 8/4 and 6/4
shop, are scarce, and 4/4 shop, dry, 1s
about out of the market. No. 3and No.4
boards have advanced considerably,
owing to short supply and large demand.

The Newfoundland Iron Ore Co.,
Limited, of Workington, Newfoundland,
invite tenders for the delivery at Old Per-
lican, Trinity Bay, Nfld., of a large quan-
tity of 10 and 12 inch square spruce
timber. Particulars may be obtained
from the superintendent, Mr. S. Herbert
Williams.

The Newville Lumber Co. have char-
tered the schooners Avin, Susan, Annie,
Hatty McKay and Sarah F. to load lum-
berat Parrsboro, N.S., for the United
States. When these vessels are loaded it
will make nine cargoes shipped by the
above firm to the United States, besides
a cargo to Port of Spain, Trinidad.

Maple lumber, log run, is being sold at
about $16 on the Chicago market. There
isa probability of somewhat lower prices for
birch this season than existed earlier in
the year. Supplies have been consider-
ably augmented during the past season,
and dry stocks have not run down to the
low point observed in other kinds of hard-
wood.

Lath is in much demand at Buffalo,
while as yet there is but a meagre supply.
Pine lath sells at about $2.25. Shingles
are being 1eceived more rapidly than
lumber, which 1s an indication that trade
is strong. Clear buts sell at $2.10 and
upwards, Mixer & Co. recently received

two cargoes, containing about 4,0co,000
shingles.

In New York it is probable that another
advance will be made in the price of
northern pine. Mills are reported so full
of orders that they cannot ship for a
month. Spruce has gone up 50 cents and
is still scarce. In Boston random cargo
spruce ranges from $13 to $14.50, accord-
ing to stock. Hemlock has reached the
highest figure in its history in New York,
being now on a basis of $13.25.

Atthe Canadian Government office, Lon-
don, Eng., enquiry has been made for the
names of lumber firms prepared to supply
large quantities of wood blocks, suitable
for paving purposes, and railway sleepers.
A firm in Warsaw, Russia, desire to act
as agents for the sale of Canadian pro-
duce. They point out that Warsaw is an
important market for veneers, rolling
boards, etc.

The Saginaw river wholesale market is
firm. There is very little lumber offering
except for stock to be cut for future deli-
very. Thus far this spring the Saginaw
Lumber & Salt Company has sold 10,000,-
ooo feet to be cut. C. K. Eddy & Sons
have sold several million feet, which is
now being manufactured. The Central
Lumber Company has also sold ahead,
and C. S. Bliss is behind with his orders.

At a recent auction sale held by, Foy,
Morgan & Co., London, Eng., the follow-
ing prices were fealized : 16 ft. 3x 11 in.
first quality pine, £20 15s ; 6-7 ft. 3x11
ir. spruce, £6 5s ;6-8 ft 3x9 in. spruce,
£5 17s 6d; 13 ft. 3x9 second quality
spruce, £7 15s; 10-13 ft. 3x8 in. first
quality spruce, £7 10s; pine, ex Ashanti,
from Quebec, sold as follows: 13-18 ft.
6x I1 first quality, £15; 12-18 ft. 6x9,
£14; 12-18 ft. 5x11, £15; 4x11 £15 55;
12-18 ft. 5x9, £15.

The secretary of the Mississippi Valley
Lumbermen’s Association has made a
canvass of stocks of dry white pine Jum-
ber in the territory covered by that s-
sociation, and finds a total shortage of
lumber, as compared with the stocks of
one year ago, of 398,000,000 feet. This
shortage is largely attributable to the
large amount of business done in low
grade lumber during the past winter and
spring. The shortage shown on January
I was 140,000,000 feet, which indicates
the immense volume of business done
since that date. A large portion of the
season’s cut of the mills at the head of
the lakes is sold ahead. The demand for
low grade lumber is phenominal.

A report from Fredericton, N. B., dated
May 26th, says: Reports from up river
state that unless there are some heavy
rains soon to raise the water, a large
number of logs will be hung up and
cannot possibly be got out until next
spring. W. J. Noble has between five
and six million feet at Seven Islands,
which can only be got out with a big rise
of water. John Kilburn has about 1o,-
000,000 feet hung up on Northwest rapids.
Donald Fraser & Sons’ drive of 8,000,000
feet on Green river 1s coming along slow-
ly and will probably be brought out safe-
ly. Cunliff, with seven million, reached
corporation limitslast night. R.A. Noble,
with 7,000,000, will probably reach cor-
poration limits in a day or two.

Offerings of pine on the Chicago cargo
market continue to be light, although con-
siderable lumber is being sold. Short
piece stuff sells at $11.50 to $11.75 for dry,
and short green piece stuff on the basis of
$11. Yard dealers are compiling a new
list on the basis of $13 for short lengths of
piece stuff f.o.b. Chicago, with the excep-
tion of 2x4, Io ft., which is listed at
$13.50. The advance in list prices during
the past two weeks amounts to 50 cents
ver thousand on the lower grades and
from $1 to $2 per thousand on the grades
and thicknesses of shop lumber that are
in most active demand. There has been
no change in No. 1 and No. 2 12-inch
stock boards. In shingles the yard deal-
ers are asking from 5 to Io cents more
than ruling prices of two weeks ago, and
prices on lath have been advanced to
$2.50 for white pine, $2.40 for mixed, $2.30
for No. 1 Norway, and $2.15 for No. 1
hemlock. It 1s said that there never has
been a time when lath were so scarce.

MAY 31, 1899

LUMBER PRICES.

Lumber prices at the present time, says the
American Lumberman, are about as high as
they were in 1892, and in some cases higher.
There shotild be a gradual advance in average
prices as the years go by, for in spite of natural
growth the quantity of available timber is de-
creasing and a carrying charge is to be added.
But it is probable that the carrying charge
since 1892 or the spring of 1893 and the present
time has been covered by the advance.

It should be remembered that 1892 and the
first few months of 1893 marked the culmina-
tion of a profitable business period that was
followed quickly by the panic anda heavy
decline in values, which are only now being
restored. At the present time the country is
not at the culmination ofa ‘‘ boom” period,
if such it may be called, but apparently hardly
begun on a period.of industrial and commer-
cial prosperity of indefinite length.

The change began in 1897 and with some
fluctuations there has been on the whole a
steadily swelling volume of business ever since.
Lumber prices have moved upward since the
summer of that year and the tendency is still
upward, What will be the outcome? Prices
are now at a point which yield a profit if
properly distributed to all engaged in the busi-
ness—manufacturers, all legitimate middlemen
and distributors. This is as it should be, and
is for what the Lumberman has always stood.

Incidentally, however, we might throw out
awarning. There isa growing feeling through
the country that prices of many commodities
are being pushed too high. It is doubtful if
this is the case with lumber ; but it certainly
would be better to rest content with what al-
ready has been secured than to risk collapse by
carrying the process of price increment to the
point of inflation. Still, the warning may be
unnecessary ; in fact, there is a feeling quite
generally noticeable through the lumber trade
that the top notch of average prices has nearly
or quite been reached, though a few items or
classes of stock may yet go higher.

SHIPPING MATTERS.

From Montreal vessel rates on lumber rule
about as follows: To Liverpool, 35s to 37s 6d;
Glasgow, 42s 6d; Lordon, 4os ; Bristol, 4583

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.

The cedar shingle market continues firm, and
the supply is still inadequate to meet the de-
mand, all the manufacturers being loaded
with orders. The following prices are readily
obtainable at Boston rates of freight : Extras,
$3.10; clears, $2.65; 2nd clears and clear
whites, $2.15. There is absolutely no signs of
any lessening in prices later, and appearances
would indicate that there may be still further
advances before very long.

FIRES.
The planing mill of D. McCaffery at Hunts-
ville, Ont., was burned on June Ist. Loss
about $2,000, no insurance.

The news has been received of the destruc-
tion by fire of A. McNair’s saw mill at Hast-
ings, B.C. Although full particulars are not
to hand, it is understood that the loss is about
$20,000.

Two sawmills owned by Geo. St. Pierre &
Co., of Fraserville, Que., were destroyed by
fire iast week. The mill at St. Honore was a
total loss of $8,000, with no insurance, while
on that at Amqui the loss is $9,000 and the
insurance only $1,000. Messrs. St. Pierre are
rebuilding and expect to have the mills in
operation again in two months.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

The first week in June has developed
no important changes in the lumber
trade of the province. Reports of a
steadily increasing volume of business
come to hand from dealers and manufac-
turers, and a still greater trade would be
done but for the scarcity of dry stock.
From the Ottawa valley shipments of
pine lumber are being made to the
Eastern States, and the number of en-
quiries received from that quarter are
taken as an indication that wholesale
dealers there are looking more to Cana-
dian mills for stock. Ottawa valley
manufactnrers have booked more orders
so far this season than in the correspond-
ing period for several years, and this is
believed to be true of the provincial mills
generally. Prices for some grades are
strengthening, notwithstanding that the
lumber cut early this season will soon be
ready for the market. Pine shingles are
still selling in Toronto at $2.40 for 16-inch
XXX, and $1.50 for XX. In hardwoods
there is a steady demand, although indi-
cations point to a weakening in the prices
of maple and birch.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Local trade in the province of Quebec
is showing more activity, although as yet
the improved demand has not resulted in
prices advancing to a reasonable basis.
Lumber is selling on a margin of profit
too small to permit of successful business.
Export trade is in a prosperous condition,
all the shippers being engaged in loading
vessels. There will be shipped from
Quebec this season a greater quantity of
waney white pine, red pine and birch
timber than last year. Up to date there
has been measured at Quebec 450,000
cubic feet of waney white pine timber,
against 99,000 feet for same period last
year. A considerable increase is also
shown in the quantity of red pine and
birch timber. Oak is represented by
99,000 cubic feet, while last year there
had arrived at Quebec up to this date
289,000 cubic feet. Reports from New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia reflect a
degree of hopefulness which was not ex-
hibited last year. The price of deals has
been gradually climbing up, until to-day
from $9.50 to $1o is being realized for
deliveries at point of vessel loading. The
outlook has not been so gocd for years,
but freight rates are advancing and have
a tendency to lower prices in a slight
degree. Shippers are said to be ex-
periencing some difficulty in securing

vessels. Recent rains have facilitated
log driving, although it is feared that
some logs will be hung up.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The lumber trade in Manitoba is stead-
ily improving, and since the settlement of
the carpenters’ strike in Winnipeg there
has been a considerable expansion of
demand. The number of buildings about
to be commenced in that city will alone
provide an outlet for no small amount of
lumber and other material, while railroad
construction will represent a good volume
of trade. The retail price list is being
adhered to generally, but in one or two
instances some cutting is reported. No
material change has taken place in the
British Columbia trade. The mills are
working to their full capacity.

UNITED STATES.

In some respects the~lumber~trade of
the United States during the past week
has not been as buoyant as earlier in the
season. The country demand has not
been up to the mark, as a rather unfavor-
able crop outlook in some districts has
caused the farmers to proceed very
cautiously with the erection of new build-
ings. In the Eastern States there con-
tinues to be a large consumption of lum-
ber. Many eastern dealers have visited
producing points, and, in the absence of
dry stocks, have contracted heavily for
the new cut, apparently with a firm belief
that prices will not weaken. Spruce has
fallen into line with pine and hardwoods,
and has advanced 50 cents a thousand in
the New York market during the past
week. This makes spruce prices $2 per
thousand higher than at a like period
last year. The mills along the upper
lakes have been in operation for about
one month, and green piece stuff is com-
mencing to move by lake. Some dealers
fear that prices of piece stuff will drop $1
before the season clases, but this is not
the general opinion. Mill culls are still
very scarce, one Saginaw manufacturer
asking $12 for No. 1.

There is quite a large movement of the
new cut of hardwoods. No weakness has
as yet developed in prices generally, al-
though there are indications that birch
will weaken, as a considerable stock was
carried over and the new cut is coming
onto the market freely. Ash is scarce
and wanted in all the eastern markets.

FOREIGN.

Cargoes of wood goods from Canada
are now arriving quite freely at British
ports, the greater portion, however, being

Th.

on contract. The market is steady, with
a slight upward tendency, although gen-
erally there is not as much activity in the
movement of stock as might be expected
at this season of the year. Importers
have found difficulty in making sales at
the prices which must be asked in view of
the increased values on this side of the
water. Notwithstanding, the conditions
at the leading ports in Great Britain point
to a steady trade and no weakening of
prices. At Liverpool there are numerous
orders in the market from contractors and
other large consumers, and these orders
must have a beneficial effect in the way of
strengthening the position of holders of
stock. In Canadian goods, spruce seems
to be attracting the most attention. At
Cardiff it is low in stock, and there is an
absence of long lengths. At Bristol im-
porters are offering full prices, and find
difficulty in obtaming goods. In cases
where lengths are not important, Quebec
spruce deals of third quality are at present
a little cheaper than New Brunswick
deals. The stock of pine deals at many
of the ports has also become reduced
below the average, and the demand is
fair.. Red pine deals continue to advance
in price, and arrivals are readily taken up.
In square and waney timber the market is
firm, Quebec oak particularly being
scarce. It is believed that Quebec timber
will realize higher prices than last season,
partly due to the increased freight rates.

STOCKS AND PRICES. _

There is a good demand in Chicago for
common inch lumber, with prices firm at
$12.50 to S13, delivered.

Robinson Bros., of Tonawanda, last
week purchased 8,000,000 feet of pine
from the Metropolitan Lumber Co., of
Metropolitan, Mich.

It is reported from Rainy River that a
special timber agent has seized timber
valued at about $20,000, said to have been
illegally cut on government lands.

Spruce is now selling in the New York
market at $17 for 6 and 7 inch and $17.50
for 8, 9 and to inch, of merchantable
quality. White pine is also high and
scarce.

The steamship Wilderspool sailed from
Parrsboro, N.S., on May 26th, for Man-
chester, with 1,247 stds. of deals, scant-
lings and boards, shipped by William
Mackay.

Dry stocks of pine on the Saginaw
river are exhausted, and the only trading
is for stocks to be cut. Log run is held
at $17 to $24, box lumber at $13, Norway
bill stuff at $10.50 to $11 for 12, 14 and
16-feet lengths, and mill culls at $9.to $11.

H. R. Goodday & Co., of Quebec, have
already shipped quite a large quantity of
lumber this season to Great Britain.
Besides part cargoes already shipped by
sundry liners, they are now loading their
third ocean steamer, taking about three
million feet of spruce deals.

Recently in London, Eng., a few lots of
specially unsaleable dimenson in spruce,
viz.,3 x10 third quality, averaged £7 15s
per std., whereas only a fortnight previous-
ly similiar goods only realized £7. 3x9
deals are now selling at £7 15sto £8
according to length, while 3x11 planks
command £8 5s per std.

A report from San Francisco, dated
June 5th, states that the Pacific coast
lumber manufacturers have formed a
combine, comprising all the Pacific coast
lumber manufacturers in British Colum-
bia, Washington ond Oregon engaged in
the export trade. Under the new sched-
ule lumber is said to have advanced $1
per thousand feet.

Mr. A. F. Bury Austin, wholesale lum-
ber and timber, Board of Trade Building,
Montreal, has secured some large con-
trit s to supply material for the construc-

on of the Shawenegan Falls Water &

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

Power Co.’s works at Shawenegan Falls,
Que., and also contract to supply the ma-
terial for the construction of bridges, etc.,
for the Great Northern railway now
building from Hawkesbury to Quebec
city.

On Thursday, June Ist, there were
offered for sale at the Russell House,
Ottawa, about 180 square miles of timber
berths owned by Thos. Mackie, of Pem-
broke. The first lot, comprising No. 149,
150, 151 and 152 on the river Coulogne,
Quebec, 156 square miles, brought an
offer of $100,000, but was withdrawn.
For the second lot, comprising 22% square
miles in Butt township, Parry Sound,
owned by Barnett & Mackie, no offer
was made.

A correspondent of the American lum-
berman, writing from Saginaw, says:
“ Lumbermen who cut logs m Canada ex-
pecting to raft them to Michigan, and who
did not make arrangements later to have
them cut over there, are storing them in
the hope that later in the season they will
be able to bring them to this side. Chas.
A. Eddy said the other day that his firm
has 12,000,000 feet which will be stored.
He believes that later on in the season
some arrangement will be effected where-
by the logs will come over. The Saginaw
Lumber & Salt Co. has several million
feet to bring to Saginaw, but it will have
to store over there about 5,000,000 feet cut
on crown lands.”

BUFFALO AND TONAWANDA.
[Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN. J
There is a continuation of the activity in all

sorts and grades of lumber, and there is pro-
mise of a long and profitable run for the dealer
as well as the producer. It is maintained
generally that the margin of profit is not
as great now as it was before the evil days
of 1893, but that is still true of all business,
and it may remain so. The amount is larger,
so that the actual profit ought to be in the same
neighborhood.

As an indication of the change for the better,
someone has estimated that a certain lumber
business, of course one of the largest here, will
gross on the same cut and handling not less
than $75,000 more this year than was possible
last year. This means everything to the trade,
and it is often needed. No one out of lumber
has much idea how it has dragged along, with
so many other branches of trade on a paying
basis again. It is always said that lumber is
last to sympathize with a change, either up or
down, and it has amply proved the saying this
time.

It is not pleasant to note that the sentiment
here is much more against reciprocity with
Canada now than it was before the Joint High
Commission made a failure of the effort to
come to an understanding, for somehow it
seems to be agreed here that Canada wanted
it all, and so long as that idea prevails with
us there is not likely to be any relaxing of the
tariff lines either way. Buffalois much more
favorable to low tariff, lumber with other
things, than formerly, and though Tonawanda
was at one time high tariff and is likely to be
somewhat of that persuasion still, it isnot so
decided as formerly. For this reason ‘the re-
gret occasioned by the failure of reciprocity is
all the greater. '

There is considerable pine lumber coming in
here from Canada this summer by water, as it
is now felt that producers can pay the duty,
however much they dislike to. The disap-
pointment is in hardwood, which has become
so scattering all through the Canadian districts
formerly patroled from here that there is not
much use in hunting any more. If thereis
anything in hardwood on the other side of the
line, please let the fact be known, and there is
more than one dealer ready to take thenexttrain
for the spot. All of which means that we are
so short of hardwood that any length will be
gone in order to get a supply. It is coming
down the lakes ata greater rate this season
than ever before, especially to the Black Rock
yards. The Sullivans, who were last, to re-
tire from Canada, have already brought down
a number of cargoes and will continue through
the season. They get red oak, elm, basswood,
ash and the like, and if southern Michigan is
laid under contribution white oak can be
found, though it does not grow mnch_ north of
Saginaw.

Manager Graves, of the Holland & Emery
Lumber Company, is in the lumber woods of
the Byng Inlet, and has both of the new saw
mills running. The cut will be large, not a
little of it coming to the yard at Black Rock.
In order to facilitate the business a partial re-
organization has been effected. L. P. Graves

remains manager of the Holland & Emery
Company, but will not be interested in the
big yard at lower Black Rock very directly.
A new: firm, Holland, Manbert & George, has
been set up, which will operate the yard and
buy and sell mostly American lumber enough
to keep it fully occupied. The members of
the firm are N. C. Holland, son of Nelson
Holland, A. C. Manbert and Henry George,
long in the employ of the Holland interest.

The lake season opened late, but Burfalo
has received 22,829,000 feet already, against
24,864,000 feet last season to date, which was
close to twice as long as this season has been
so far. The two Tonawandas have fallen
short of last season only 5,490,000 feet, and
will soon be ahead of it, as is shown by the
canal shipments, which are 23,219,000 feet,
against 7,400,000 feet to date last season.

Vessel men say that lumber freights by lake
are firmer at the opening figure, $2 from Du-
luth, than they were at the opening, and they
expect steady business all the season at paying
rates.

The lumber yards of Buffalo entirely escaped
the great strike that tied up everything else on
the docks for more than three weeks. The
shovers asked for more pay during the strike
and obtained it, the dealers feeling committed
to the advance on account of a promise that if
business was good they would pay it. The
existence ofa strike may have had something
to do with the advance, which was on a basis
of 5 cents from the 22 cents per thousand that
has been paid several years on pine, other
woods being in proportion,

There is a good demand for shingles, and
lath is very scarce. Hemlock lumber has lately
advanced to $11 for 16 feet boards and under,
which, considering that the price has been
down to $8, shows that there is some demand
for lumber in general.

The box factories are very active, and it is
reported that they are making a good margin
of piofit, which was hardly the casea year ago.
There is a large box business here. With
ordinary demand for boxes, there would be
such an overstock made that nobody could
hope to make much profit.

Southern woods, as poplar, yellow pine and
cypress, sometimes a matter of indifference to
this market, are in about as much quest as any
other, and prices are very strong. The report,
made some time ago, that n> sort of lumber
was at all dull, is still more true now than it
has been before in several years, if ever.

TRADE IMPROVING IN IRELAND.

Reviewing the lumber market of Ireland,
the following comment is made by the corres-
pondent of the Timber News, of London.

Notwithstanding the very severe weather
that has prevailed during the last fortnight,
Irish trade, generally speaking, has been very
fair, and imports all round the coast are look-
ing forward to a good steady summer’s busi-
ness.

At Dublin, Belfast, Londonderry, Limerick,
and Cork, Norwegian flooring cargoes, lately
arrived, are receiving prompt attention at the
docks in order to make room for steamer
cargoes of Canadian deals now about due or on
passage. The Glenarm Head, from Montreal
and Quebec, for Belfast and Dublin, arrived
at Belfast on the 24th inst., and the Innish-
owen Head, with a full cargo of wood goods
from the same ports, arrived at Dublin on the
24th inst. alsc, These are the first cargoes of
Quebec goods to arrive this season.

Several steamer cargoes of Miramichi spruce
deals are now loading or on passage to the
larger ports, Belfast claiming three, Dublin two,
Cork one, and Limerick one. We do not
hear of a solitary steamer cargo coming to
hand fron St. John, N. B., this season, and
only two small sailer cargoes to Dundalk. The
scarcity of deals there and the prohibitive
prices asked no doubt account for this, as
Irish buyers as a rule prefer St. John, N. B.,
to Miramichi deals.

Several of the smaller importers who re-
fused to buy early in the season, when Mira-
michi deals were offering at £6. 8s. 9d. and £6.
Ios. c.i.f., would now cheerfully pay shillings
more to get their requirements ; but the scarcity
of small tonnage, and the small quantity of
deals available at Miramichi and St. John, N.
B., for prompt or even June-July shipment,
make business difficult even at advanced figures.

THE BARBADOS MARKET.
Of the Barbados lumber market, Messrs. S.
P. Musson, Son & Co., say :

The only arrival to note since our last is the
schr. Fauna, from Bridgewater, N. S., with
42m. ft. shipping and 86m, ft. 2nd quality
white pine. The large proportion of 2nd
quality greatly facilitated the sale, and as one
of our dealers was very much in want of the
cargo, it brought the outside rate of $22.30
shipping, and $16.30 2nd quality. Other
dealers’ offers were very much below these
figures. Schr. Grace Rice, from Calais,
Maine, arrived to our address, on 13th, with
122m. shipping ft. white pine boards and
plank, and 30 m. ft. second quality. Sold
shipping white pine at $21.50, and 2nd quality
at $15.50. Shingles—The Taymouth Castle
did not bring any long Gaspe cedar, as we had
anticipated. Prospects continue favorable
for cedar laying ; ,neighbors offered a lot of
700 m. to be shipped, but we do not think that
a sale has been effected.

NEW LUMBER FREIGHT TARIFF.

In answer to our enquiry Mr. Geo. A. Fow-
ler, Lumber Agent of the C. P. R. at Ottawa
writes : :

‘Taking effect June Ist some change was
made in the rates on lumber from points on
this line to points in Western Ontario, in most
instances a general advance of 14 cent per 100
Ibs, having been made, therefore effective
June Ist rates to Toronto and Hamilton are as
follows : On pine and soft woods from Klock,
Mattawa, Bonfield, North Bay, Sturgeon
Falls, Cache Bay and Warren, 9% cents ; from
Sudbury Jct., Rayside and Chelmsford 10%
cents; from Cartier and Geneva Lake I1
cents ; from Biscotasing, White Fish, Massey,
Cutler, Spragge and Algoma, 12% cents per
too lbs., no change having been made in the
rates on hardwood.

The rate from Ottawa, Hull, Aylmer, De-
schenes, Arnprior and Pembroke, 10 cents per
too Ibs. Nochange has been made in the
rates to Montreal and points in Eastern
Ontario and Quebec, neither has any change
been made in the rates to New York, Boston,
etc. The rates from Ottawa to points on the
Michigan Central, L. E. & D. R. R. and E.
& H. Ry. have been somewhat changed, in
some instances a higher and in other instances
lower rates have been made.”

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

The Mississippi Valley Lumberman
sizes up the Canadian situation in this
terse fashion: ‘“‘The fact that buyers from
the eastern states have paid three dollars
per thousand more for mill culls on Geor-
gian Bay this year than during the days of
free lumber, is a poor argument for the re-
moval of the duty—from a Canadian
standpoint.” Certainly the Ontario lum-
ber manufacturer has at present little
cause for complaint, notwithstanding the
fact that a duty of $2 per thousand con-
fronts him when seeking to enter the
United States market. Under present
conditions, when the demand equals, if
not outreiches, the supply, this duty is not
a serious hindrance to trade. Reports to
hand during the past week go to show that
Canadian low grade lumber is finding
ready sale in United States market at
satisfactory prices, while in the British
market there is good demand for the
highest grades. Companies who two or
three years ago were being sympathized
with on account of having on hand large
stocks of dry lumber for which they could
not find a market, to-day occupy an envi-
able position in the trade. Stocks of such
lumber are rapidly becoming exhausted.
Our reports agree in stating that stocks
at present are light. Medium grades, for
which there has been least demand, are
now beginning to be drawn upon, and an
improvement in price may be looked for.
The demand for shingles is particularly
good. One hardwood manufacturer writes
from the Georgian Bay district that stocks
of hardwoods are being shipped out, in
answer to local demand, almost as soon
assawn. This correspondent mentions
having recently received an offer from a
manufacturing firm in Cleveland for 300,-
ooo feet per year of maple, common and
better, for a period of five years, at the
price of $13 per thousand. “This,” says
our correspondent, “looks as if the market
would be all right for maple.” American
owners of timber in the Georgian Bay
district will probably find some difficulty
under present circumstances arranging
with Canadian mills to manufacture their

timber, as mills in the Georgian Bay

district are likely to be operated to their
full capacity on owners’ account. An
American journal states that this timber
will be allowed to remain unmanufac-
tured for the present, in the expectation
that when the International Commission
shall again meet,'the Ontario regulation
prohibiting the exportation of logs will
be done away with. Meanwhile, whether

there is any probability of the fulfill
ment of this expectation or not, Cana-
dian manufacturers of lumber will no
doubt take the fullest possible advantage
of the present favorable condition of the
markets at home and abroad.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The movement of timber from Mont-
real and Quebec to British ports has just
commenced, the first arrival at London
from Quebec having been the steamship
Montenegro, carrying a consignment of
deals from Richard R. Dobell & Co. A
raft of [1,000 pieces of square timber,
selected rock elm and oak, 60 feet in
length, cut in Michigan, passed down the
St. Lawrence a few days ago for Quebec,
where it will be loaded for Europe. The
condition of the British market is such
that unless shipments are made too
rapidly and too large, satisfactory prices
are likely to be realized throughout the
season. Conditions m New Brunswick
continue satisfactory. The curtailment in
manufacturing throughout this province
last year owing to the overplus stock and
consequent low prices in the British
market, left a much less quantity of stock
than usual in the hands of manufacturers
for export this season. The mills are
reported to be in active operation and
the bulk of the winter’s cut of logs has
been successfully floated to the mills.
Coast freights remain firm, while ocean
freights have advanced considerably.
New Brunswick shingles are finding
ready sale on the Boston market at prices
ranging from $3.10 to $3.15, as compared
with $2.60 to $2.65 for Michigan and
Wisconsin shingles. The Boston corres-
pondent of a new York lumber journal
states that this difference in price in favor
of New Brunswick shingles 1s attributable
tothe superior methods of manufacture
employed in this province.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

There has up to the present been a
brisk demand throughout Manitoba and
the Northwest for lumber, briefly inter-
fered by the recent strike at Winnipeg.
This difficulty, however, is now removed.
Harvesting operations will © commence
shortly, when a temporary slackening of
demand is likely to be felt. There is,
however, every indication that the harvest
of the present year will be an abundant
one, resulting in a still greater degree
of prosperity to the farmers of this west-
ern country and leading to the carrying
out of improvements for which large
quantities of lumber will be required
In British Columbia lumber conditions

II.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

are satisfactory. There has been a rapid
growth in the local demand consequent
upon the stimulus given to all depart-
ments of trade by mining development.
There has also been a growing demand
from the European, Australian and other
foreign markets. The cedar shingle in-
dustry has recently been conducted on
a more profitable basis. The extensive
demand for red pine shingles has re-
sulted in a rise in prices, and the red
cedar shingle has also benefitted there-
by. The shingle manufacturers in Wash-
ington territory, with whom manufactur-
ers in this province have been obliged to
compete in price, have recently organized
themselves into county and state associa-
tions, with the object of maintaining
prices, regulating weights, and guarantee-
ing the quality of their product. This step
should prove beneficial to the manufactur-
ers of shingles in British Columbia, re-
gardless of whether they connect them-
selves with the American organization or
not.

UNITED STATES.

The reports from all the principal mar-
kets throughout the United States agree
in stating that the demand for most
classes of lumber is exceptionally active
at the present time; in fact, there has
not been seen for many years such an
active condition of the market for almost
all kinds of stock. In the case of hard-
woods there is the greatest uncertainty
regarding prices, owing to the difficulty
of obtaining the required stock, and this
uncertainty is said to be interfering to
some extent with the developments of
trade. The manufacturers in the north-
western States are advancing prices, and
the statement is made that considerably
higher figures are being asked by some
of these manufacturers than old stock is
being sold for by the Albany dealers.
The unusual prosperity now prevailing
in all departments of industry through-
out the country has greatly increased
the demand for unskilled labor. Owing
to this circumstance, higher wages are
being demanded by the workmen at the
mills. To this, coupled with the extraor-
dinary firmness of the demand, is prob-
ably due the demand of the manufac-
turers for higher prices. Hemlock has
advanced 75 cents, and is now selling at
the highest price ever known, viz., an
average of $13.25. Quartered oak sells
readily ir. the Boston market at $70 to
$75 per thousand for the highest grades.
The peculiar fact is noticed in connec-
tion with this class of stock that the
price, which was formerly below that of
plain sawn oak, is now considerably
higher, and constantly advancing. Re-
ports from Baltimore state that there is
a good demand for white pine, and that
prices are advancing. The rafting of logs
cut in the Georgian Bay district by
Michigan limit holders and mill owners
prior to the enactment of the Ontario
prohibitory law is about to commence.
The quantity of such logs to be brought
over this season is estimated at 75,000,-
ooo feet. The interesting statement is
published that, according to statistics
compiled and presented at a recent
meeting of prominent lumber manufac-
turers of Georgia, the timber supply of
that state will become exhausted in six
years if the present rate of manufactur-
ing be continued.

FOREIGN.

The return of “Derby” week, as usual,
demoralized trade conditions to a con-
siderable extent. Reports from London
state that the importations have thus far
been much lighter than usual. If the
average season’s standard is reached,
there must shortly be a rush, with con-
sequent confusion on the docks, and
delays in delivery to buyers. Freights
from New Brunswick and Nova Scotia
have advanced from 4os to 45 and 46s,
and it is not improbable that they may go
still higher. What effect this will have
on the volume of imports cannot be
definitely stated as yet, but in view of the

Importers’ Association have memoralized
the Town Council protesting against the
increased dock rates imposed by the
Dock Committee on wood goods con-
signed to the port of Avonmouth. At an
auction of wood goods by Messrs. Chur-
chill & Sim, London, there was but a
small attendance of bidders, owing to the
counter attraction of the “ Derby” already
referred to, Low prices were obtained
for small lots of common spruce, and best
bright prime short ends flooring and
matching realized fair values. More
than usual activity prevails at Liverpool,
and spruce deals, notwithstanding heavy
imports, are finding ready sale. For the
month ending June Ist the stocks at this
port were as follows: Quebec pine,
46,000 cu. ft., as compared with 86,000
cu. ft. for the same month last year;
waney pine, 63,000 cu. ft., as against
168,000 in 1898. Quebec pine deals are
slightly in excess, and spruce deals at the
same as last year. At Glasgow, hard-
woods are exceptionally scarce, particular-
ly elm, ash and birch. Stocks of British
Columbia and Oregon pine are small, and
fresh arrivals should find a good market.

CN a

THE BRITISH MARKET.

Messrs. Farnworth & Jardine, of Liverpool,
in their monthly review of the market, dated
the rst inst., say regarding Canadian woods :

For WANEY PINE there is a fair demand,
stocks are light and values steady. SQUARE. —
The demand is limited and stocks are sufficient.
Rep Pine,—There is little enquiry, but stocks
are now small. St. JOHN.—A parcel of very
prime quality has just arrived. Oax.—There
has been no arrivals ; the deliveries have been
small, and the demand continues very dull ;
stocks are sufficient, but there is little change
in value to report. ELM.—There has been
more enquiry, and Prime Fresh Wood is
wanted ; the stock is light and values have im-
proved. AsH.—There is little enquiry ; but
stocks are getting bare. PINE Deats.—The
arrivals have been large, the deliveries unsatis-
factory, and there is no improvement in values
to report ; stocks are much too heavy. RED
Pine DEALS are in steady request, and prices
rule firm. The arrivals of NEw BRUNSWICK
AND Nova SCOTIA SPRUCE AND PINE DEALS
have been very heavy, amounting to about I1,-
600 standards, against 1,726 standards same
month last year ; with a steady demand there
has been a good consumption, and stocks, al-
though increased, are not excessive. There is
little change in value to report, but shippers
are asking higher rates to meet the advance in
freights. PINE DEALS are dul] of sale. ST.
JouN Bircu has been imported more freely,
and the deliveries have been satisfactory; values
are firm, and the stock is moderate. PLANKS
have not met with so ready sale, and prices
have declined slightly ; stocks are heavy.

The circular issued by Messrs. Allison, Caus-
land & Co., of Glasgow, says: There is no
special feature of interest to report during the
past month. Prices have improved in most
cases, but the larger buyers had so many op-
portunities of purchasing at such very low
prices that they will not yet give the ad:
vance asked for, preferring to hang off for
the present and watch how the market may
turn. Several shipments per liners have ar-
rived, the bulk of which is on contract for local
merchants. Shipbuilding and housebuilding
trades continue brisk, and the wood bookec is
ample for a considerable time. Hardwoods
are exceptionally scarce at present, the supply
not being equal to the demand. Provided im-
ports are moderate a satisfactory business
should be done, but the result of such heavy
consignments during the last two years have
still a depressing effect on the market. Re-
garding stocks and prices of various Canadian
woods in the Glasgow market this circular
says :
YELLOW PrINnE.— Waney.—The stock of
prime wood is now small, and prices are firm.
There is very little demand for inferior wood,
the stock of which is very heavy. Quotations—
ist Class, 19 to 20 inches average, 2s 6d tu 2s
gd. 2nd Class, 15d to 2s perc. ft. Square—
The stock of prime wood is of very small aver-
age, for which there is only a very limited de-
mand. RED Ping.—Seldom enquired for,
except for large girthy wood. ELM. --Demand
moderate, and prices keep very firm. 1st Class,
45 to 50 feet average is quoted at 2s 2d to 2s
4d. 2nd Class, 22d to 2s perc. ft. OAK,—
Demand very limited, and little business re-
ported. AsH.—In good request, prices firm,

broad deals has been good, and prices are
much improved. Undersized, if of long aver-
age, are wanted. Short undersized are heavy
in stock, and are little asked for. Quotations—
broad, £24 1s 3dto£2415s. Undersized, ay.
3s gd to £19 5s per St. Pet. Std. Seconds.—
The enquiry is very light, and few sales are
reported. Broad are quoted at £16 tos to £19
ss. Undersized, £13 1s 3d to £13 15s per St.
Pet. Std. Thirds.\—The demand has been
moderate, and principally for regulars, which
are not heavy instock. Undersized are very
slow to move, except at very low prices.
Quotations.—Regulars, £9 5s 7d to £10 6s
3d. Undersized, £7 4s 4d to £8 5s od. per
St. Pet. Std. Fourths. —Although prices have
improved, business is very slow. Regulars
are quoted at £6 17s 6d to £7 11s 3d. Under-
sized £6 3s 9d to £6 10s 7d per St. Pet. Std.
Rep Ping.—There is no stock in first hands.
Early shipments will meet with a ready sale.
SpRUCE.—Some recent shipments are report-
ed sold ex quay at fair prices. Quotations. —
£6 3s 9d to £7 11s 3d per St. Pet. Std.
Brrcu.—There has been a good business done
both in logs and pianks at satisfactory prices.
Logs are quoted at 14d to 15d for 16 inch
average. Planks, 10d to 11d per cubic foot.
DEALS, BATTENS, AND BOARDS. — Prices
still keep very low, and the demand has been
practically for narrow deals. Quotations. —
£6 3s 9d to £7 11s 3d per St. Pet. Std.
Spruce.—The demand keeps good and a
satisfactory business has been done. Quota-
tions. —£5 16s 10d to £8 5s per St. Pet. Std.

THE AUSTRALIAN MARKET.
Concerning the Australian lumber market,
Messrs. Fraser & Co,, of Melbourne, say :

Stocks on hand have not been dealt in to
any material extent, no improvement in this
direction having been shown within the past
month, though as landings at the wharf and
supplies to arrive are not of importance there
has been a desire to secure better rates, and in
several descriptions of timber slightly higher
prices are now being asked, and must ultimate-
ly be obtained, not only in the smaller but
also in the larger operations which may be
concluded in the near future. Although the
trade, asa whole, are now in possession of
fairly good stocks, we are inclined to the belief
that an increased enquiry will be experienced
ere long for present holdings, and more es-
pecially when it is recognized that existing
quotations for mostly all the leading lines are
below those at which these could now be laid
down at. The irregularity of values among
the distributing mills has of late in a great
measure prevented prices for importations
being fixed upon a fair and proper basis, but
we understand that more unanimity is now
being shown, which should help to at least
some extent in improving the position of
those interested here and abroad in cargo
operations which are made to this market from

ports: 892,946 feet super. Arrival: Osberga,
from St. John’s N.B. A little further business
has been done from stocks in the yard. A
small portion of the above shipment has also
been placed. Prices range from 244d to 23¢d
per foot of 9 x 3 for an average specification.

OREGON Pine.—Imports, Nil. Stocks in
the yards of importers have not been in much
demand,® but in sales concluded prices paid
show no alteration upon late rates, viz., £5
15s for sizes 11 x6 and down, and £5 5s for
12x6 and up, or anaverage of £5 10s per
1,000 feet super. Some business ‘‘ to arrive ”
has been done upon this basis. Holders are,
however, firm, and it is probable that a slight
increase will shortly be required.

The extensive saw mill of Alfred Dickie at
Lower Stewiacke, N. S., was totally con-
sumed by fire on Wednesday, May 31st. The
fire originated from a spark from a passing
engine and consumed the mill, several million
feet of lumber ready for shipment, dwelling

houses, barn and cook house. Two vessels
were loading lumber at the port, and a thirp
was discharging ballast preparatory to loading.
The loss is heavy.

A PROTEST.

A firm of lumber manufacturers in the
Georgian Bay district write: ‘‘We might

ple have treated us most unfairly in their new
tariff in the matter of rates on cedar. They
raised rates on all other kinds of lumber 4 and
I cent per 100 lbs., of which we make no com-
plaint, but on cedar lumber and posts they
raised the rate 3c and qc per 100, making it
almost prohibitive. They can only have the
one object, and that is, to stop the shipping of
cedar altogether on their lines, so that they
can get it at their own price.

We have, along with the other mill men in
this section manufactured many thousands of
dollars worth for them in the past, but for the
last two years their manner of inspecticn and
shipping has grown to be so unsatisfactory, that
we find it impossible to do business with them
and have Jooked for other markets, hence we

presume their latest move. There is great in-
dignation among the mill men. It is undoubt-
edly one of the most high-handed tricks ever
perpetrated by any corporation. There isa
great deal of cedar handled here and it is par-
ticularly hard on us all, as a very large pro-
portion of what we cut they could not, and
would not handle themselves.”

SHIPPING MATTERS.

The ship Charles, now repairing at Halifax,
will load a cargo of deals for the west coast of
England at 46s. 3d.

Barquentine Sunny South has been chartered
to load lumber at Annapolis, N.S., for Buenos
Ayres and Rosario at $10.50 and $11.50.

Schooner Sirocco has cleared from Halifax
for New York with a large cargo of lumber,
Viz., 171,133 feet deals and 1,071,000 laths,
shipped by Miller & Woodman.

A dispatch from Tonawarda says: Never in
the history of the Tonawanda canal port have
rates on lumber to Albany and New York been
so low as at the present time. The rate now
being paid to Albany ranges from 95 cents to
$1.05 a thousand, while the general rate to
New York is $1.55. Only a few carriers are
getting much more.
point reached in rates to Albany and New
York was $1.25 and $1.75 respectively. Few
boatmen are willing to load at the existing
rates, ard consequently a large number of
boats are tying up to await better prices.

-manent for some time to come.

: CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS,

ONTARIO,

The reports to hand during the past
week all go to show that lumbermen are
not suffering from anxiety regarding ocut-
lets for the sale of their products. On
the contrary these reports indicate that
stocks are being disposed of rapidly and
at most satisfactory prices. Even better
than this is the prospect that these con-
ditions are likely to continue for some
time to come, if indeed a further improve-
mentin prices does not take place. As
stated last week stocks of all kinds are
becoming very small, especially low
grades, which have found an unusually
good market in the United States. The
action of the Mississipi Valley Lumber-

“men’s Association in advancing prices of

white pine would go to show that the
United States demand is likely to be per-
This ad-
vance amounts to an average of 50 cents
per thousand, the lowest advance being
25 cents on laths and the highest $1.50 on
4 inch No. 2 16 feet, with $t on several
other kinds of stock. Asregards the con-
dition of stocks in Ontario, the representa-
tive of an American firm who has been
visiting the mills since early in February,
states that he succeeded in purchasing
less than 6,000,000 feet, while in -ormer
years a similar effort would have produced
ten times that amount. He is satisfied
that the reports of large stocks of unsold
lumber in Ontario are totally unfounded.
Our own reports coincide with this state-
ment.
active and all classes of hardwoods, even
cordwood, are selling better than for many
years. We are advised that production
in this line will not equal the demand for
some time to come. In many instances
stocks are entirely sold out. The Ontario
government are watching the various out-
Jets in the Georgian Bay district to see
that the law prohibiting the export of logs
to the United states is not being violated.
Mr. Williams, of Peterboro, who recently
visited the district with this object, re-
ports that there is not likely to arise any
difficulty. Some of the American firms
are storing their logs in the vicinity of
Manitoulin Island inthe hope that some
change may be made in the Ontario re-
gulations, while others have apparently
taken it for granted that this regulation
will stand, and are making arrangements
to have their timber cut in Canada. A
delegation of lumbermen met Senator
Fairbanks, chairman United States High
Commission at Minneapolis and protest-
ed against any lowering of the American
lumber tariff. The Pacific coast lumber-
men in a conference at Tacoma, expressed
themselves in a similar manner. They
urged that a reduction of 20 percent. on
rough lumber be considered as the ulti-
matum of the American members of the
joint High Commission to their Canadian
associates, and that no concession be
made on dressed lumber such as laths,
staves, clap boards, pickets, shingles, etc.
If as a leading American lumber journal
states, the supply of white pine is being
concentrated in few hands and that there
will never again be a marked decline in

The shingle market is particularly |

value, Canadian lumbermen need have no
cause for serious alarm on the tariff ques-
tion.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Reports from mills throughout the
province of Quebec indicate that the de-
mand for spruce, shingles and lath and the
lower grades of white pine is unusually
active—shingles and spruce being in
greatest demand. Orders for above
classes of stock are in some instances
booked ahead. Some spruce deals were
held over from last year, but are now
nearly all sold. This applies also to rail-
way ties. The tendency of prices is re-
ported to be strong and upwards, particu-
iarly on lower grades. Export business
is becoming more active, but is being re-
stricted by want of vessels and conse-
quent high carrying charges. The local
demand is also satisfactory. A consider-
able amount of timber will be required for
the erection of elevators and the carrying
out of the harbor improvements at Mont-
real. The exports from St. John during
the month of May were valued at $424,-
267, as against $177,271 for the same
month last -year.--The-increased. value
this year is partly due to higher valuation.
Shipments to Great Britain have thus far
come considerably short of the same
period last year, stocks in the hands of
manufacturers being much smaller and
vessel charges considerably higher, two
causes tending to reduce shipments.
The spruce market is very firm. The
prospect at present is that most of the
logs cut will be brought to the mills,
but the- quantity is believed to be less
than last year; this applies particularly
to Nova Scotia. It seems certain, there-
fore, that there will be no weakening of
the market, but on the contrary there is
the possibility of prices going higher.

MANITOBA AND. BRITISH COLUMBIA,

The market for lumber throughout
Manitoba and the Northwest continues
active. There is a large requirement for
new buildings in course of erection and
to be erected in Winnipeg, where build-
ing operations are being carried on on
a much larger scale than for many years
There is also a_ considerable
amount of building being done in the
smaller towns throughout the country.
The announcement which has been re-
cently made regarding the greatly in-
creased area of lands placed under cul-
tivation this year should also be signifi-
cant of a greater demand for lumber for
elevator construction and other purposes.

Trade conditions in British Columbia
continue to be in most respects satisfac-
tory. There is a large foreign demand,
which ‘is, however, being hampered to
some extent by lack of suitable vessels.
Lumber freights are firm at higher rates,
recent charters being as follows: British
Columbia or Puget Sound to Sydney,
4os. to 41s. 3d.; Melbourne or Adelaide,
48s. 9d. to 50s.; Port Pirie, 46s. 3d. to
47s. 6d.; Freemantle, 60s. to 61s. 3d.;
Shanghai, 51s. 3d. to 52s. 6d.; Tientsin,
6os. to 61s. 3d.; Valparaiso, f.o., 42s. 6d.

manufacturing capacity of the province
is being rapidly increased to meet the
requirements of trade. The Victoria
Lumber & Manufacturing Co., of Che-
mainus, for example, have doubled their
capacity. This company are now handl-
ing 80 cars per day and employing 300
men. The shipments of lumber from
this province during the last year are given
as follows: From Vancouver, valued at

$102,919; from Chemainus, $160,351 ;
Cowichan, $9,300; Salt Spring Island,
$8,200; New Westminster, $5,796 ;

Moodyville, $119,135, making a total of
$405,701, shipped to Australia, China,
South Africa, the United Kingdom,
Mexico and South American points.
Judging by the following statement pre-
sented to Senator Fairbanks at Tacoma
by the lumibermen of Washington terri-
tory, aS an argument in favor of the
present tariff on lumber being main-
tained, British Columbia manofactur-
ers are an aggressive and formidable
element in the trade on this coast:
‘British Columbia manufacturers ship-
ped no lumber to California previous to
the passage of the Wilson tariff act, but
immediately after it went into effect, they
commenced to compete with us in our
home market, down went our prices,
and lumber business on the Pacific
coast became demoralized. It was only
a question of who could stand the tre-
mendous losses longest. Mills were shut
down, men were thrown out of employ-
ment, and those who did work, worked
short time and at reduced wages. Old
established lumber manufacturers, who
had been in business for years, were
forced to stop,and their plants and busi-
ness were placed in charge of receivers.
Many properties were sold out and
changed hands at nominal prices and
at a great loss to original owners and
their creditors.”

UNITED STATES,

The most important event affecting the
market for lumber in the United States
during the past week was the meeting at
St. Paul, Minn., of the Mississippi Valley
Lumbermen’s Association, at which about
thirty five of the leading white pine manu-
facturers of the Northwest were repre-
sented. The meeting was called to con-
sider the report of the price list committee.
The chairman of this committee stated
that in order to arrive as nearly as pos-
sible at the actual condition of the market
a circular had been issued hy the com-
mittee to the trade requesting answers toa
seriesofquestions. Theinformation receiv-
ed in answer tothese questionsshowed that
there is a shortage in stocks amounting to
400,000,000 feet as compared with last
year, while all the answers went to show
that the prospects of trade are better than
for years past. After a full consideration
of this report the association decided to
advance prices all round by 50 cents per
thousand. This advance to take effect on
the 2oth inst. Statistics have also been
collected regarding building operations,
and these go to show that the extent of
operations is greater by 100 per cent. than
in 1898. The relative value of new build-
ings in twenty of the principal cities of
the Union is as follows : 1898, 14,048,190 ;
1899, 29,111,084. Notwithstanding the
approach of the harvest and vacation sea-
son and the advent of the new cut of the
mills, prices remain unaffected and firm.
The demand for hemlock is particularly
active and Pennsylvania prices were re-
cently advanced $1.00 per thousand.
The hardwood situation remains about
the same as reported last week. Red
cedar shingles are likely to advance in
price from 10 to 15 cents per thousand as
the result of the decision of the mills in
Washington territory to close down during
the first part of July. Prices for spruce
remain firm with aslight advance in price
of lath.

FOREIGN.

There appear to be several influences
at work tending to maintain the present
satisfactory condition of prices in the
British market. One is the largely in-
creased home demand for almost all
kinds of American timber products. This
is having the effect of restricting exports.

A New York lumber journal states that a
large number of British and Continental
lumber buyers who came to the United
States on a purchasing tour have returned
home greatly disappointed. It is said
that not only were they unable to open
commission accounts, but were discour-
aged by the high prices asked for stock
on an f.o.b. vessel basis. The increased
demand from South America and the
West Indies is also lessening the amount
of the exports from the United States to
Great Britain and the Continent, In ad-
dition to this, so far as Great Britain is
concerned, there must be taken into
account the active demand existing in
the French and German markets. The
difficulty of securirg vessels to carry lum-
ber is also having its effect in restricting
exports. It is not surprising, therefore, to
learn that with an active consumption for
building and other purposes in the British
market, timber cargoes in the majority of
instances are contracted for in advance of
arrival, and on leaving the vessel go into
consumption immediately. British buyers
find much difficulty in estimating the
future conditions of supply and demand,
and are conducting their operations cau-
tiously. Caution is also being exercised
by shippers on this side of the water, in
view of the scarcity of vessels and high
carrying charges. The import of spruce
deals at Liverpool and Manchester bas
been considerable, yet not in excess of the
demand, and prices continue vety firm
with a disposition to advance at Man-
chester. The stock of waney and square
pine at Liverpool is said to be about ex-
hausted. There isa good demand in this
market for fresh birch logs; a parcel of
timber of this character arrived there
recently from St. John, N.B.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

Mr. Peter’s mill at Parry Sound has
commenced operations, a large stock of
logs having arrived there a few days since.

G. D. McArthur will cut about 4,000,-
ooo feet of logs at his mill at Selkirk,
Man., which is about to begin opera-
tions.

Senator E. B. Buchanan is_ reported
to have sold to the Rat Portage Lumber
Co. 4,000,000 feet ‘of logs and his logging
outfit on Rainy river.

The Conger Lumber Company’s drives
have reached Georgian Bay. They will
be towed to Parry Sound and there cut
into lumber at the company’s mills.

The first raft from Canada to Michigan
reached Tawas for Saginaw, recently,
consigned to the Saginaw Lumber
& Salt Co. It contained nearly 3,-
000,000 feet, logs being cut from Indian
reserve lands.

The Rathbun Company’s drive of logs,
which passed through the Trent Canal
recently, is the largest in twenty-five years,
being about 25 miles inlength. The logs
are said to be of good size. A raft con-
taining about 65,000 logs reached Messrs.
Chew Bros.’ mill at Midland a few days
ago. It is estimated that 3,000,000 feet of
lumber can be produced therefrom.

THE BRITISH MARKET.

Messrs. Edmuston & Mitchell, of Glasgow,
in their monthly circular of date May 3i1st say:
Business during the past month has been, as is
usually the case about this time, rather quiet,
the buying being of a retail nature, in anticipa-
tion of the new season’s arrivals. Several
steamers are to hand from Montreal with large
quantities of deals, etc., principally on con-
tract, and it is expected that, until the grain
shipments commence, the import of wood
goods will be considerable.

Of old stock there has been considerable
depletion, notably, in ist, 2nd and 3rd pine
deals, pine sidings, red pine and spruce deals,
etc., and the statistical position of these is
favourable and prices firm. Deliveries of logs
and lumber have been of an average amount
during the month.

We learn of no important sales of deckwood
recently, but the tendency of prices is decidedly
firm. Joiner wood has been sold at from 2s 3d
to 2s 5d per cubic foot, in ponds. No de-
mand for inferior woods. Shippers of first-
class ash will meet with a ready market.
There is a satisfactory demand for 15 and 16

JUNE 21, 1899

inch and larger birch logs. Some demand for

first-class white ash.

Messrs. Churchill & Sim, in their monthly
circular of June 2nd say: From the St. Law-
rence the importation is, pine deals, 98,000
pieces, against 80,000 pieces in 1898 ; spruce
deals, 137,000 pieces, against 78,000 pieces in
1898. From New Brunswick, etc., pine deals,
nil pieces, against 2,000 pieces in 1898 ; spruce
deals, 14,000 pieces, against 210,000 pieces in
1898; birch planks, 74,000 pieces, against
42,000 pieces in 1898. There is nothing to
report of moment in this market for Canadian
wood, The first steamer shipments are arriv-
ing, but as usual with these early parcels they
go direct overside in fulfilment of contracts.
The market sales of pine and spruce deals here
consists of remnants and re-sales from the 1898
importation, and for these no change of quota-
tion is apparent during May.
hardwood that shows even a retail improve-
ment. Birch, elm, ash and yellow pine tim-
ber all tend to rather lower figures, the first on
an incoming supply of fairly ample proportions,
and the three latter from lack of demand.

From the circular of Messrs. Wright, Graham
& Co., of Glasgow, it is learned that square
pine is in fair request. 35 to 40 feet, average
quoted at 2s 3d to 2s 6d; smaller average and
poorer quality at 1s 5d to 1s 9d per cubic foot.
Prime large red pine isin demand. Smaller
average and poorer quality is selling at from
1s 3d to 1s 6d per cubic foot. The demand
for oak logs is moderate ; first-class large wood
quoted at 2s 6d to 3s, poorer average and
quality at 1s 9d to 2s 3d per cubic foot. First-
class elm logs are in demand; price 2s 2d to
2s 4d, smaller size and poorer quality Is 9d to
2s per cubic foot. The market is in want of
large average ash logs, and early arrivals of
same will meet with ready buyers; price Is
10d to 2s for 15 to 16 inch average; less
average at 1s 6d to Is 9d per cubic foot, ac-
cording to quality. Large prime birch logs are
keenly competed. for, and early arrivals are
being quickly picked up. 16-inch average is
quoted at 1s. 8d. to ts. rod. A small parcel
brought as high as 2s. 14 to 15-inch average
is quoted at Is. 5d. to 1s. 6d. per cubic foot.
There has been good inquiry for rock maple
logs, and several parcels sold at Is. 10d. to 2s.
2d. per cubic foot, according to size and
quality. Large logs are specially asked for.
Consignment parcels of hickory logs are finding
ready buyers. Prime second-growth logs are
selling at 2s. 3d. per cubic foot, poorer quality
at Is. gd. to 2s. per cubic foot. There is a
fairly good demand for Quebec white pine
boards.

CANADA LUMBERMAN

WEEKLY EDITION. lll.

ThE WEST INDIES.

Messrs. Clairmonte, Man & Co’s circular
dated May 27th, says:

Since our last advices there have been no
arrivals with lumber. White pine, moderate
supply, the cargo of the Grace Rice, reported
in our last, was sold at $21.50 for first and
15.50 for second quality; spruce, demand
continues good, last sale $15 for first quality.
Pitch pine in supply, last sale $21.11 for
merchantable, $15.5 for refuse, and $13.51
for second quality.

The damage done to houses by the hurri-
cane in September last has been repaired,
and should shingles now arrive in any large
quantity, we look for a sharp break in prices.
Last sales of long Gaspe cedar : ex New Do-
minion, at $3.50 @ $4.66 per M, as to quality ;
cedar laying $2.07 ; spruce laying $2.27% ;
cypress sales ex store $8.50 6-in. hearts, saps
$6.50.

May 17th: Schr New Dominion, from Hali-
fax, with 700 M Gaspe shingles. —250 M large
sold $4.56, 50 M extra large $4.66, remainder,
small, $3.50.

The circular of Messrs. S, P. Musson & Co.
states: There have been no further receipts of
either white pine or spruce. A small lot of the
latter 36 m. ft. has been sold to arrive from a
neighboring port at $15.25.. With regard to
white pine, the absence of arrivals is having
a healthy effect, and one or two cargoes
would do well; especially with a good pro-
portion of 2nd quality. In shingles the Tay-

mouth Castle brought to our address some
400 m. long Gaspe cedar, for which we were
forced te accept $3.50, as stocks were accu-
mulating. For a few 6in., 5 in., and q in.,
we obtained $6.61, $5.61 and $4.61, respec-
tively. The demand for this class of shingles
is becoming very slack,—inquiry continues for
cheaper grades of cedar laying shingles. No
late receipt of pitch pine. Nothing to report
in either shooks or wood hoops.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Reports from Jumbermen are again but
a repetition of what has already been said
regarding the almost unprecedented
strength of the market. Everywhere
buyers are found in search of stock, and
their eagerness to purchase is causing
prices of all grades to stiffen. Dealers
from Michigan have visited Georgian Bay
mills, and are reported to have contracted
for some lots of lumber at figures which
will leave a fair margin of profit to the
manufacturers, even in the face of the two
dollar duty ; in fact, the buyer invariably
pays the duty. A feature favorable to the
Ontario lumber industry is the number of
foreign importers who have this year per-
sonally visited the mills in this province
for the purpose of satisfying themselves as
to what quantity of lumber they could ad-
vantageously import from Canada. Last
week Mr. L. R. Babbitt, representing
Babbitt Brothers, wholesale merchants, of
Buenos Ayres, visited the Ottawa mills
for this purpose. While the trade may
not realize any immediate results from
these visits, it augurs well for the future of
Canadian lumber. The above remarks,
although applying more particularly to
pine, also indicate the condition of the
hardwood market. Buyers are numerous
and stocks scarce—it is a sellers’ market.
Generally hardwoods are firm, maple
being the only lumber which shows any
weakness, and that is not such as to cause
alarm.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The local demand for lumber in Quebec
is improving, building material represent-
ing a consiserable volume of stock. Many
of the mills have orders in excess of their
output, and all are running full time.
Spruce log run is selling at from $8 to

$12 f.0. b. cars at mill, and birch at $12

to $15. The Quebec merchants are busy
shipping lumber and timber to foreign
countries, and a number of vessels have
been chartered for July loading.

In Quebec and New Brunswick the
industry is ina healthier state than for
years past, although high freight rates
have interfered with shipments to some
extent. The logs have been coming
along slowly, and some of the mills have
been compelled to close down uutil their
drives were received. It is stated that
not Over 90,000,000 superficial feet of logs
will pass through the Fredericton booms
this season, as compared with 131,000,-
ooo feet last year and 165,000,000 feet in
1897. St. John deals are worth about
$11 per thousand, which is from $2.50 to
$3 higher than the prices one year ago.
There are no Bay of Fundy deals offering,
as they have all been bought up. The
prospect is that lumber will be scarce and
prices higher as the season advances.

UNITED STATES.

As yet there are no evidences of a mid-
summer lull in the lumber trade of the
United States; on the other hand, dealers
and manufacturers alike report an in-
creased number of orders for nearly all
kinds of stock. Buyers have been very
numerous at northern producing points,
and it is predicted that by the end of
August practically the entire seaon’s cut
of the mills at Ashland, Duluth, Meno-
minee and other lake ports will have been
sold. Prices are steady and buoyant,
with an upward tendency, and some pre-
dict that there will be a further advance
in the near future. Competition in buying
is very keen, as the brisk demand since
the spring opened has prevented whole-
salers from accumulating their usual
quantity of stock. At Ashland, Wis., it is
expected that all widths of No.2 stock
will advance, as the difference at present
between No. 2 and No. 3 is but $1 per
thousand. As showing the position of
the market, the Ashland Lumber Co.
recently made asale of 250,000 feet of Nor-
way edge boards at $8 a thousand, while
the price paid for similar stock last year
was $4.75. An effort has been made to
even up Buffalo and Tonawanda prices
of pine. The price of uppers is now $51
for inch and $65 for four inch, $45 for
inch selects, $38 for inch fine common,
$30 for No. 1 cuts, $20 for No. 1 barn,
$14 for No. 1 box and $12 for mill culls.
Spruce lumber is gradually becoming a
a more important factor in the PBnffalo
market. The Loud Company is prepar-
ing to send down quite an amount of
spruce to the Black Rock yards from
Munising, Mich. Generally spruce is
improving, although some sizes still show
signs of weakness. 2

The demand for hardwood lumber con-
tinues unabated, although the situation
has been relieved in a slight degree by
the movement of the new cut. It is ex-
pected that there will be adecline in
prices for oak, ash and. other woods that
have been particularly scarce, but the
generally accepted opinign is that hard-
wood values will remain :firm during the
balance of the season.

FOREIGN.

Speaking generally, the foreign markets
are in a fairly prosperous condition.
Stocks on hand are not too heavy, and
there is little probability that the arrivals
will be greater than will be consumed by
the various manufacturing industries. In
Great Britain the wood trade is under-
going a period of buoyancy almost without
parallel in its past history. The opinion
is freely expressed that exports from
Sweden this year will be less than in
1898, while it is certain that the Canadian
exports will not overburden the market.
This points to a higher level of f.o.b.
values than at present rule, and removes
almost any probability of prices depreciat-
ing. British importers, however, express
some dissatisfaction with the Canadian
trade, owing to the custom adopted by
some shippers of sending goods forward
on consignment, these goods being sub-
sequently sold at lower prices than paid
originally by the direct importers, and
creating an unfair competition, with a
lowering tendency on values. At London
a slightly firmer tone is apparent for 2%-
inch battens ; 2% x7 Quebec spruce has
been tried, but the trade has not responded
as expected, though in the north it is
learned that the experiment has met with
some success. In the hardwood market
the situation has not changed, the demand
continuing steady.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
Goodwillie & Page, of Fonthill, Ont.,
recently shipped eight cars of chestnut
and oak lumber.

Scatcherd & Son, of Buffalo, are said
to have two men in Canada buying hard-
woods, mostly soft elm.

The United Lumberman cleared last
week from Playfair’s dock at Midland for
Tonawanda with a large cargo of lumber.

The attention of lumber manufacturers
is directed to the advertisement of Messrs.
Irvin & Sellers, on page 3, asking for
maple squares.

The log cut on the Restigouche river
in New Brunswick last winter was 29,-
000,000 feet. Only a small quantity of
logs will be hung up.

McCormick Bros., of Saginaw, Mich.,
who deal extensively in hardwoods, report
an active demand forelmandash. There
is plenty of maple and less call for it than
for the other woods.

The A. P. Bliss Lumber Co., of Sagi-
naw, is now towing logs from Parry Sound
to Saginaw. These logs were cut by the
Conger Lumber Co. in the season of 1897-
98 and left in the woods.

On Wednesday, June 21, Alex. Fraser’s
raft of square timber from the Coulonge
was towed to the head of the Calumet
slides. This is the second raft to pass
down the slides this season.

At Saginaw, Mich., log run is quoted at
$18 to $24, and is scarce at these figures.
There is a continued good demand for
tox lumber at $13, and for Norway at
$10 to $12 for ordinary lengths. ss

Cedar shingles continue to be scarce in
the Eastern States, and the manufacturers

ils

are sold far ahead. Stocks of everything
in the cedar line are exceedingly scarce,
shipments being made about as rapidly
as the stuff can be gotten out.

Geo. Rowlings, of Musquodoboit, has
the contract for furnishing lumber to the
Furness Withy Co. for the construction of
their new wharf at Halifax. Three vessels
are now engaged transporting the lumber
to that city.

H. J. Crowe, of Bridgetown, N.S., has
chartered a ship to load deals at Annapo-
lis, N.S., for the United Kingdom. This
will be the first shipment of the kind from
that place. The bark Argentina is now
loading lumber at Bridgewater, N.S., for
South America.

Following 1s a comparative statement
of timber, etc., measured and culled at
Quebec to June 27th, as furnished by the
Supervisor of Cullers :

A raft containing over 3,000,000 feet of

logs, consigned to the Saginaw Lumber &
Salt Co., arrived at Saginaw on the 17th
inst. This company has four more rafts
to take over from the Georgian Bay, the
logs being cut from Indian reservation
lands. It is estimated by the American
Lumberman that nearly 100,000,000 feet
of logs which were gotten out in the
Georgian Bay district for the Michigan
market are being held in storage booms,
in the expectation that some arrangements
wil! be affected whereby they can be taken
to Michigan.

The Board of Trade returns show that
the imports of wood goods into Great
Britain for the month of May of this year
were considerably more than in the corre-
sponding months of 1898, both in sawn
and hewn wood, the increase amounting
to 77,202 loads of hewn and 38,444 loads
of sawn. The excess in sawn goods is
chiefly the result of increased spruce ship-
ments to the west coast of England and
the arrival of cargoes from Riga, Windau,
and other Russian ports. For the five
months of this year, the imports also show
an increase as compared with last year.
Of timber there were imported up’ to the
end of May last 1,788,280 loads, against
1,571,120 loads in 1898.

THE BARBADOS MARKET.

BRITISH VIEW OF THE CANADIAN TRADE.

The Timber Trades Journal, of London,
Eng., comments as follows regarding the Can-
adian pine and spruce trade:

Tue PrnE MarKket.—The London market
for pine deals is, we regret to say, not any bet-
ter than it was a year ago. We are told that
large parcels have been sold overside ex ship,
but we are also informed that these sales have
been at such nominal profits that the business
might just as well have been let alone. It 1s
evident, if our information is correct, that pine
business is by no means satisfactory. Old
hands in the pine trade are gradually dropping
out because there is nothing to be made in it,
but there are always new men with less experi-

ence coming forward willing to step into the
breach in the hope of finding the way toa
more remunerative system, but they will be
reckoning on a very insecure foundation in
building their hopes of profit on an all round
substantial improvement, without which it is
impossible to make the pine business pay.
Until there is a better system of cutting and
selling in Canada, and less oddments consigned
to this market, it will be impossible to make a
remunerative one to the importer here. All
the experienced firms in this trade are unani-
mous in the opinion that a reformation must be
made if the pine business is to remain on its
hitherto extensive scale, otherwise it will de-
scend into a hand-to-mouth business, and the
large importers of former times will seek other
and more fertile fields for the outlay of their
capital.

THE Spruce TRADE.—Regarding spruce,
we hear that there is a strong demand round
the coast, but we are sorry to say we cannot
hear the same accounts of London. Prices,
notwithstanding the talk about improvements,
are not a whit better than last year, although
shippers state they are getting more. On the
Continent we have reason to believe the de-
mand is still good, and that the sales reported
last month have been supplemented by others at
some small advance, but this in no way affects
the demand on this side where the supply al-
ways exceeds the wants of the trade. We wish
we could confirm the reports of improvements
so long expected, but it is a well-known fact
that the bulk of the spruce shipped to this
market is used in the manufacture of boxes or
packing cases, which, after service, are of com-
paratively little value. Therefore, there never
can be a proportionate rise in spruce prices that
appertains to other wood goods that become
entirely absorbed in consumption.

SALE OF CANADIAN WOOD GOODS.

Following is the result of a sale of wood
goods held by Churchill & Sim, London,
Eng., on Wednesday, June 14th:

LARGE PURCHASE OF TIMBER LIMITS.

It is reported that a large transaction in
timber limits has just been negotiated, an
American syndicate having purchased
timber limits in the province of Quebec to
the value of $1,850,000. It is stated that
the purchasers represent the pulp trust

formed in the United States. Mr. Chas.
Lionais, mining engineer, of Montreal,
negotiated the deal. The limits are

situated on the north shore of the St. Law-
rence and in the peninsula of Gaspe. The
American company has a capital of
$10,000,000, and will erect at once two
pulp mills, to cost $1,000,000 each, and to
have a capacity of 600 tons per day. A
party of engineers is said to be now en-
gaged in making the necessary surveys.

The shingle mill of the Cambridge Lum-
ber Co., at McDonnell’s Siding, three miles
west of South Indian, Ont., was burned
recently, at a loss of $3,000. It is the
intention to rebuild, as the company owns

a considerable limit of pine in the immediate

vicinity suitable for the manufacture of
shingles.

FIRES.

A sawmill at Osnabruck Centre, Ont.,
owned by H, P. Alguire, was destroyed by
fire on Saturday last, together with a quantity
of lumber. The loss is upwards to $3,000
and the insurance small.

The digester building, sulphite tower and
sulphur burning department of the Laurentide
Pulp Co.’s works at Grand Mere, Que., are
reported to have been destroyed by fire. The
loss is estimated at $30,000.

the past two weeks.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

The remark is heard on all sides that
the lumber trade of Ontario is ina most
prosperous condition. Usually at this
season of the year the demand shows a
falling off, but this year the mills are sold
so far in advance that there will be no
interruption to business by the summer
holidays. Although the price lists gener-
ally cannot be marked higher, there is no
disputing the fact that certain grades have
undergone a still further advance within
At Ottawa the saw-
mills have commenced night work in
order to keep up with the demand. Ship-
ments of deals to the British market were
heavier last month than in May, with
prices slightly on the advance.

Hardwoods are maintaining their strong
position. Dealers are buying stocks
svherever they can be found, and usually
the price does not enter into the transac-
tion to any extent, buyers being willing to
pay good prices for good stock. Manu-
faturers report numerous enquiries for
shingles, and notwithstanding the in-
creased production this year, the supply
is not likely to more than equal the
demand.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Country trade has now fallen in line

‘with that of the towns, and retail dealers

generally report an active demand for
Jumber. The country yard trade is par-
ticularly good, showing that farmers are
engaged in the erection of necessary
buildings. Prices are firm, and the list is
being adhered to excepting in one or two
instances. In British Columbia the build-
ing trade is active, and the saw mills are
unable to pile up any quantity of lumber
in advance of the requirements. The
Chemainus mills are sending large quan-
tities of lumber to North China, and the
export trade of the year promises to be
unusually heavy.

UNITED STATES.

There is no better indication of the
trend of the lumber trade of the United
States than is found in the fact that the
price lists at different markets continue to
be advanced. Following the advance
made by the Mississippi Valley Associa-
tion, comes the report of a slight advance
on lower grades of pine at Duluth, of a
further advance on hemlock at New York,
and of a like step being contemplated at
other markets. The eastern trade is in
good condition, including almost every-
thiag in the lumber line. A statement of

sales made at the head of the lakes shows
that Buffalo and Tonawanda dealers have
purchased considerable stock, although it
is said that they have been unable to in-
crease their holdings to any extent, due to
the fact that lumber is being shipped east
as fast as it can be loaded. At Duluth
No. 4 boards are selling at $8 per thous-
and. Just what this price represents may
be understood when it is stated that a few
years ago the highest price obtainable for
this grade of lumber was $5.25. Mill
culls are selling at $10, box lumber at $13,
and Norway dimension at $10 and $11.
Some of the leading markets report a
slight curtailment in the demand for hard-
wood lumber, but the requirement is still
in excess of the supply of drystock. The
Central Lumber Co., of Saginaw, Mich.,
recently sold a quantity of ash at $ro.
Ash is particularly scarce throughout the
Eastern States, it being almost impossible
to obtain 3 and 4 inch in dry stock.
There is also an increasing demand at
Boston, Tonawanda and Buffalo for bass-
wood, elm and poplar.

FOREIGN.

There has been a further hardening
tendency in the British timber market,
and some recent f.o.b. sales have been
effected at a substantial advance on open-
ing prices. Large cargoes of Canadian
goods are being received at the leading
ports, but the bulk of the imports are
going direct into the hands of consumers.
As the season advances the opinion is
gaining ground that present prices will be
maintained, The spruce market at Liv-
erpool is remarkably firm on the basis of
£6 12s. 6d. c.i.f. for St. John and similar
shipments, with Nova Scotia deals at the
customary reduction. The consumption
continues good, the only drawback being
the lack of boats to take the goods up the
canals. Much of the square timber land-
ing is being sent direct into consumers’
hands. There are numerous inquiries in
the market for square timber and deals,
and the few transactions that have taken
place have been at advanced rates. The
South American market is in good condi-
tion, and since the first of the year prices
have advanced about $2 per thousand
feet. Spruce is now selling at Rio de
Janeiro at $25.50 to $26.50.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

It is said that W. B. Mershon & Co., of
Saginaw, Mich., have purchased a large
quantity of lumber at mills on the Geor-
gian Bay.

Alexander Fraser, of Ottawa, Ont., has
just taken down the Coulogne river one
of the largest square timber rafts that has
ever been taken out of the Ottawa valley.

The sale is reported of a tract of timber
land in the vicinity of Chester Basin, N.
S., of which D. C. Butterfield is part
owner. New York capitalists are believed
to be the purchasers.

The tender of the Keewatin Lumbering
& Manufacturing Company, for 300 cedar
telegraph poles, 300 feet long and 7 to 8
inch top, at $2.50 each, was accepted by
the Winnipeg city council.

E. T. Carrington, of the Spanish River
Lumber Co., says that only about 60,000,-
000 feet of logs will come down the Span-
ish river this season. The mill of his
company is running steadily.

The shingle trade at Tonawanda prom-
ises to open up briskly in the near
future, and prices are consequently in-
creasing on this stock as on lumber... The
H. M. Loud & Sons Co. and the H. M.
Tyler Co. have a considerable supply.

Messrs. Hughes & Long’s planing mill
at Brandon, Man., destroyed by fire on
May 3oth, is again in operation, only
fifteen days elapsing from the time of the
fire until it was again running. Their
loss was small and will be more than re-
covered in their new location. We under-
stand they are adding more machinery.

Three cargoes of waney board pine
were shipped from Ashland, Wis., on
June 27th, for Quebec, en route to Eng-
jand. The timber belonged to S. A. Mc-

Call, of Simcoe, Ont., and contained 47,-
000 cubic feet. It was the second fleet to
clear from Ashland this. season; and
cleared up all the dry timber of this
variety there.

Pelton & Reid, Cheboygan, Mich., are
reported to have purchased 3,000 acres of
Canadian pine timber land of an Indian
reserve. They will commence logging
operations about August Ist, and will put
in enough logs to supply their mill at
Cheboygan next season. The firm has
now about 12,000,000 feet of logs in the
French river, ready to be towed to Che-
boygan.

The timber establishments of Hon. A.
Dickey and associates at Sheet Harbor
and Mosher river, N.S., have been very
successful in getting in large drives of
logs, and will doubtless manufacture a
large amount of timber this season. Itis
said that all these valuable holdings are
under bond to capitalists, at a good figure,
who have an eye on the pulp making
facilities they present.

At arecent sale of wood goods held by
Foy, Morgan & Co., London, Eng., oak
timber ex Yola, from Quebec, sold as
follows : 10 logs 1334 x22" x 18-39’, £5 2s

Wm. Creswell, foreman for M. M.

Boyd & Co., of Bobcaygeon, Ont., stated
last week that his large drive of 70,000
pieces had been at the head of Cameron
lake for almost a week. About 30,000
pieces belong to the Boyd Co., and
the balance to Messrs. Parkin, Carew and
Rathbun Co., of Lindsay. The Parkin
logs came from Wilberforce, in Cardiff
township ; the Boyd logs were stored in
Bark lake, Glamorgan ; Carew’s are from
various points in Glamorgan and Mon.

driven from Devil’s, White and Black
lakes, tributaries of the Burnt river. Mr.
Creswell says the Parkin timber is the
best he has seen come from the north
country for some years. A second drive
belonging to the Rathbun Co. is being
floated from Haliburion district.

BUFFALO AND TONAWANDA.
[Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN. ]

There is a rush in the lumber business that,
though a long way behind iron, is still surpris-
ingly strong and promising of a long period of
activity. The worst of it is there is a limit to
the supply, much more apparent than in the
case of iron. Lumber is slowly giving out.
What is to be done about it? Of course, there
is to be lumber always, for it will be raised
when the trade comes to a sense of the necessity
of such a step, but there are to be many expedi-
ents tried before that slow process is put to
trial in earnest.

Buffalo is receiving much larger amounts of
lumber by lake than for a long time. To the
end of June the lake receipts at Buffalo were
57,380,000 feet, as against 43,910,000 feet to
date one year ago. * Shingles are only 26,831,-
000, to 38,370,000 to date last last year, the
falling off being apparently on account of the
dock strike here, which tied up the package
freight liners solong. There is a much larger
handling of shingles all rail than formerly, to
all appearance, though there are no figures
to be had.

The report of Tonawanda receipts is not in
yet, but the activity at that port is also very
great, as is shown by the advertising for men
late last week by tne Eastern Lumber Company,
the heaviest concern south of Tonawanda Creek
in the south village. This company alone re-
ceived over 6,000,000 feet of lumber last week
by lake. It promises steady work all the sea-
son for good men.

The lumber trade is very curious to learn
the outcome of the late fiasco on the part. of
George H. Damon & Co., of ‘Tonawanda,
which mortgaged its lumber to a local bank
and then sold it to other firms in that market.
When the firms found that the lumber was
mortgaged they fell on it and carried it all out
ina night, more than 1,000,000 feet in all.
Someone capped the climax by taking the
office also. Now the question is, whether the
bank can recover. - it is generally thought
that it will not be able to.

An effort has been made to bring the prices of
pine in the markets of Buffalo and Tonawanda
into line and make them uniform, in some
cases advancing them. The range is from $65

- for 16/4 uppers to $12 for 4/4 mill culls. It

has all along been held that the prices of pine
in these markets has been too low this year,
not even trying to keep pace with the prices at
producing points. In some cases we are sell-
ing pine at very close to the price that would
have to be paid for it. Thisis all right if there
is nothing in view but the holding of eastern
trade, but it is entirely wrong when we remem-
ber the losses that were sustained when the
prices went down. There was no holding them
up then in order to get out of them what had
been put in. Ifit is to be got at all, now is
the time.

There is a better range of prices in hardwood.
The prices at producing points went up more
sharply than was the case with pine, and the
great difficulty in getting stock has convinced
everyone that the thing to do is to get a good
price for it or hold it. The demand for oak
and ash leads, but maple, elm and basswood
are excellent sellers, with birch, chestnut,
cherry and walnut in less demand. As they
are all hard to find the lack of demand is wel-

“come.

The big jump has really been made in hem-
lock, it having advanced twice during June,
selling at wholesale for $11.50 for 16 feet and
under and $10.25 for cull boards. A year ago
the price was less than $9. An effort has been
made to bring down hemlock by lake, but not
with much success, as Michigan mills are ask-
ing more, freight and all, than the above price
of the Pennsylvania cut. Something was done
in Michigan. hemlock early, but freights are
stiffer now and prices quite inflexible.

The Goodyears have lately lost quite a large
lot of hemlock logs in their Pennsylvania dis-
trict by fire. They had bought a quantity and
the fire got into them at skidways, where they
were to be loaded on cars.

The Sullivans are still doing something in
Canadian elm and birch, but are turning their
attention more to the lakes, which are furnish-
ing them some elegant elm and other hard-
woods. The amount obtained from that direc-
tion is really surprising. Mr. T. Sullivan is
away on a long vacation, which is expected to
be permanent toa certainextent. He has been

active far beyond most men of his years, and
not now being in the best of health, will try to
take life easier hereafter.

Donald 'Y. Leslie is getting considerable
pine lumber and shingles from Canada this
season, and is doing a good business. He is
also in the jobbing door, sash and roofing trade
quite extensively.

The Laidlaw yard shares the appearance of
not a few pine yards in running down some-
what in stock since the opening of spring, on
account of heavy sales. When I was there
last week it was reported, though, that several
boats were on the way down for the firm,
which would replennish the stock very mater-
jally. It isacommon thing now for pine as
wellas hardwood to go out as soon as it ar-
rives and never be put into pile here. The
thousands of feet of continuous lumber dockage
is kept pretty full of lumber from the boats,
but the canal or the cars get most of it direct.

Nelson Holland has sold his barges, tbe
Curtis and three consorts, to the Tonawanda
Iron & Steel Company, so they will no longer
make trips to Byng Inlet for lumber. The
Parry Sound Company is sending the Seguin
down with cargoes, taking soft coal back to
Depot Harbor.

The first-summer outing of the Buffalo Lum-
ber Exchange occurs July 11th by special car
to Chatanqua, witha lake ride in the arrange-
ment. Business is business this summer, but
the attendance is expected to be general for all
that.

mand being greater and likely to continue great-
er than the supply.

'_ In the northwest, No. 1 staves are quoted at
~ $7.50 to $8.50 per net M. on board cars Min-
neapolis, while round lots have been sold a
high as $9.00; in fact, for good dry staves on
the spot it is not a question of price with the
coopers, but to get the staves at any price.
Medium quality staves that the coopers would
reject under ordinary circumstances have been
picked up eagerly at $7.50, and the coopers
were surprised to find that staves with the
appearance of having been sandpapered were
not necessary to make a good sound flour barrel.
While jointing of staves in the open is going on
in a limited way, mills with kilns are still
running their kilns to full capacity, kiln dried
staves bringing a much higher price thanair dried
staves in comparison to the cost of kiln drying.

Despite the fact that the Sugar Trust is using
wire hoops instead of patent hoops for 50 per
cent. of its requirements, patent hoops are
higher at the present time than they have been
for months, as, while the consumption has de-
creased, the production has decreased still fur-
ther, and at present it looks as if there would
not be 50 per cent. of last year’s production
made this year.

The stocks of heading bolts and logs put in
at the.different mills have been small, and con-
tracts for this year have been made at an advance
of Ye. to Mc. per set over last year’s prices.

We have made a careful estimate of the logs
and bolts put into different mills owned by our

company, or in which we are interested ; we
have also received reports from most of the
other mills throughout the country, and we
learn that on an average 20 per cent. of their
requirements is an outside estimate of the
stocks put in. Trucking cannot commence
until July to any extent, so that some mills are
already out of logs, and over 50 per cent. of the
mills will have cut out their raw material by
the end of this month, Some mills will be
able, as soonas the woods are passable, to keep
their mills running steadily, others, intermittent-
ly, while others are closing down for the year.

At the present time everything looks favor-
able for a good apple crop. Apple packers are
beginning to realize that in the event of there
being a good apple crop, there will not be
enough cooperage stock obtainable to make
the barrels, and are turning their attention to
boxes to a very large extent, so this year we
look toa very large percentage of the apples
being packed in boxes instead of barrels.

Carbray, Routh & Co., of Quebec, report
few transactions in marine chartering. Nomi-
nal rates are 45s for deals and 67s 6d to 70s for
timber. An advance is asked for August ship-
ments.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

What was said in our last report re-
Barding a mid-summer lull in the lumber
trade is fully borne out by the reports to
hand this week. As yet there are ro
Signs visible that the demand will slacken
during July, while on the other hand re-
tail dealets are said to be taking steps to
Stock up for fall trade earlier than is
usual, It is the generally expressed
Opinion that present prices of pine and
hardwood will be maintained throughout
the summer at least. At the present
time all kinds of lumber are being bought
lip, and where in less prosperous years
the lower grades would be dull of sale,
they now find a market almost as readily
as lumber of better quality. Inthe pine
trade, if one class of lumber sells quicker
than another, it is red pine deals, for
which the demand is exceptionally strong.
Contracts have been placed for. next sea-
son’s Cut of some of the mills, this in itself
showing the strength of the market. The
shingle production does not seem to be of
sufficient volume to supply the demand.
This may be due in part to the fact that
few shingles are being manufactured in
Michigan, and consequently dealers in
the Eastern States are looking more to
Ontario for their supply. Prices are firm,
with a tendency to advance.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The great demand for building material
in Winnipeg and throughcut the North-
West is creating a scarcity of sand and
brick. Some buildings have been delay-
ed on this account, but notwithstanding
there is a brisk movement of lumber to all
parts of the west. Dealers state that
trade has seldom been better at this sea-
son of the year, which, considering the
backward season, is very satisfactory.
The mills on the Lake of the Woods are
operating day and night, but still stocks
are moved almost as rapidly as they
are taken from the saw. There
is no abatement of demand in Brit-
ish Columbia, and it would appear as
though the trade in that province had en-
tered upon a new era of prosperity. There
is a general tendency to advance prices.

UNITED STATES,

The shipments of lumber from Minne-
apolis during the month of June were
the largest in the history of that market,
being nearly 50,000,000 feet, while for the
previous month they were 44,000,000 feet.
These figures reflect the urgency of de-
mand, particularly when it is remembered
that prices advanced during the last two

months. Trade in the Eastern States is
equally buoyant. There is a good de-
mand from retailers, a large consumption
of lumber in building operations, and an
all-round firmness in prices. Stocks are
still badly broken, dealers finding it im-
possible to add very much to their sup-
plies. It is impossible to purchase much
stock in Michigan, as the extraordinary
local demand is consuming nearly all the
lumber manufactured. Log run is held
at Saginaw at $15 to $24, and from $12 to
$13 1s asked for box. Norway, for which
there 1s a good demand, is selling at $10.50
and upwards. At Buffalo the demand
for white pine is ia excess of the supply.
This is especially noticeable in the box
trade, for which Norway is largely being
substituted.

Favorable reports are received of the
spruce market, sales being made at the
following prices: Frames, 9 inch and
under, $16 ; 12 inch and up, $17 ; 2x3 and
2x4, $13.50; merchantable boards, $13;
mill random, $14 to $15. Although
spruce was last to improve, it now ap-
pears as though it had fallen strictly in
line with the other classes of lumber.

Hardwood prices have as yet shown no
weakness, nor is there any slackening off
in demand. There is an exceedingly
heavy demand for dimension, car mater-
ial, etc., and wholesalers who have lumber
in shipping condition experience no trou-
ble in finding buyers willing to pay top
prices, especially for oak and ash. At
Boston brown ash is quoted at $38 to. $40
for one inch firsts and seconds, and $40
to $42 for thicker.

FOREIGN.

The tone of. the British wood market
continues firm, and a steady consumption
is reported. Up to June Ist the import of
wood goods into Great Britain exceeded
that of 1898 by some 92,000 loads, the in-
crease being chiefly from Norway and
Sweden and the Maritime Provinces of
the Dominion. Notwithstanding this in-
creased import, stocks are becoming re-
duced, and recent arrivals have met with
ready sale. The slight improvement in
spruce prices has been maintained, and
we would not be surprised if still higher
prices would be realized before the close
of the season. Some dealers are buying
at present prices and storing the stock
away, in the hope of making large profits
later in the year. Red pine deals are in
good demand, and Quebec shippers are
asking higher prices. Square timber in
elm and oak meets with ready sale.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

A raft of square timber comprising
ninety cribs, and owned by Wm. Mackey,
passed through the slides at Ottawa last
week.

The Dominion government is calling for
tenders for the construction of a telegraph
line from River Romaine eastward to Baie
Chateau, Strait of Belle Isle.

The str. Veva sailed from Parrsboro,
N. S., on July 5th, for a British port, with
2,099,474 feet of deals and 226,458 feet of
ends and scantling, shipped by M. L.
Tucker.

The str. Cheronea sailed last week
from St. John, N. B., for Cardiff, with
1,672 standards of deals. The Anna
Moore sailed for Dublin with 1,067 stand-
ards of deals.

By the breaking away of the boom at
the mills of F. X. Gosselin, at Biae St.
Paul, Que., a large quantity of logs passed
out to sea. The loss is estimatéd at
$25,000, but it is hoped that some of the
logs may yet be recovered.

Last week L. C. Slade purchased 2,000,-
ooo feet of lumber from Pitts & Co., of
Bay City, Mich., cut from Canadian logs.
Mershon & Co. also bought 1,500,000 feet
from the same firm, these being the only
sales of any consequence reported.

There are few shingles being manufac-
tured in Michigan this season. Not much
shingle timber was put in during the
winter, and only one or two firms on the
Saginaw river are making shingles. The
price is $2 and $3 for pine, and 25 cents
less for cedar.

The North-Western Hemlock Manu-
facturers’ Association have issued a new
list. on hemlock, based on $9.50 for short
piece stuff, on Wausaw, Wis., rate of
freight, with one.-dollar_higher for.the
longer lengths; 12 inch boards are quoted
at $11.50, and 6, 8, and 10 inch at $10.50.
The eastern hemlock list, which is based
on a Philadelphia rate of freight, is $13.50
on short piece stuff, and one dollar ad-
ditional for 18 and 20 feet.

Ottawa capitalists, including Messrs.
Geo. Perley, Fred Avery and Charles E.
Reid, have purchased the saw mills of
Alex. Baptiste at Calumet, Que., together
with 640 square miles of timber lands.
The limits have been cut for white pine
for a number of years, but there is a large
quantity of spruce yet standing. It is
understood to be the intention of the new
proprietors to erect a pulp mill.

The following charters are reported:
Bark Silenzio, 701 tons, St, John, N. B.,
to Cardiff or Newport, deals, 43s 9d; str.

The following rafts of timber have been
entered at the office of the Supervisor of
Culler’s, Quebec, since last report : Alex.
McCall, at Upper Sillery, oak, etc ; D.
McMillan, at Indian Cove, oak ; G. Blan-
chard, at Bridgewater Cove, oak ; N. Mc-
Intyre, at Dobell’s Cove, elm, etc ; A. Mc-
Call; at Upper Sillery, waney pine ; Gillies
& Son, at Lower Sillery, elm.

It is interesting, too, to watch the ar-
rival of spruce cargoes to the East Coast.
Those who have thought that the Cana-

dian article has not come to stay should
keep an eye on Newcastle, West Hartle-
pool, and the Humber ports, and they
should also note who the receivers are.
We think they will find that many an im-
porter of Baltic wood is now going strong
for the spruce. When we think of the
cheap price, the advantages of special
lengths—so easily arrangeable with Cana-
dians and so impossible with the Baltic
shippers—we cannot wonder that spruce
seems to be gaining ground.—Timter
News, Liverpool, Eng.

Of the lumber trade at St. John, N.B.,
the Maritime Merchant says: “The pros-
pect is that lumber will be scarce and
prices higher,” said a leading St. John
shipper last week. He pointed out that
less than 100,000,000 sup. feet of logs will
come through the Fredericton booms this
year, compared with 131,000,000 feet last
year and 165,000,000 feet the year before,
The export from West Bay he figured at
28,000,000 feet, compared with over 40,-
000,000 feet last year; while the ship-
ments from other ports up the bay, and
along the straits from Shediac to North-
port, would not exceed fifty per cent. of
last year’s. There are no deals offered
here from outside points, because all avail-
able supplies have been bought up. Deals
cut in the city mills are worth $11 to-day,
which is $2.50 to $3 above last year’s
prices. Reports from the United States
show that maiket to be very firm at a
sharp advance over last year.

THE AUSTRALIAN MARKET.

The last monthly timber report of Fraser &
Co., Melbourne, Aus., thus reviews the lumber
market :

But little animation has been shown
in timber dealings during the last few weeksy
though a few fairly large transactions have
been carried through, and in these sales some-
what better rates have been secured than were
ruling at the date we issued our last report.’
In some classes of timber which are not so
largely consumed (notably American shelving,
and clear pine) lower prices have heen ac-
cepted,-and.for these lines the market is, and
will be for.some time, in an unsettled state,
owing to the heavy stocks on hand, and to the
desire of some shippers to arrange further
business at a reduced c.i.f, basis of cost. Out*
side, however, of the kinds we refer to, values
of most other timber are more likely to svat

than otherwise ; but as the demand is some

what inactive at this time of year, we hardly
look for any marked improvement to be mani-
fested until about the commencement of the
spring season, when trade operations should
also be much increased, and business be ex-
perienced of a more regular character than has
been the case for some time past.

LAKE OF THE WOODS LOG SUPPLY.

Some figures are to hand of the log supply
this season for the mills at Rat Portage and
Keewatin. There was cut on the Canadian
side, for the Rat Portage Lumber Company,
24,000,000 feet. Of these 35 to 40 per cent,
was white pine, and the remainder principally
Norway, a small portion being spruce. There
was 23,640,740 feet cut on the American side
for the Rat Portage Lumber Company, and
11,310,000 for the Keewatin Lumber & Mant-
facturing Company. The cut of the large
firms was as follows: Stitt & Howe, 7,600,000
ft.; Buckman, about 4,000,000 ; Samuel Noden,
880,740; H. C. Mead, 2,960,000 ; Graham
& Horne, 7,400,000; Kehl & Deary, 11,082,-
000 ; Frank Pelland, 365,000 ; W. L. Keiver,
174,000 ; Louis Stellar, 158,000; R. Dearing,
103,000; and Wm. Kennedy, 228,000 ; mak-
ing a grand total of 58,850,740 feet, not to
speak of piles, ties, cedar poles and posts and
piling, as accurate figures are not yet available
for these items. They form a considerable
item in the operations of Rat Portage concerns,
The logs cut on the American side for the Rat
Portage market are on the Little and Big
Forks and the Rainy River, principally the
operations ‘of the lumbermen extending into
Bettrami, Itasca and even St. Louis counties.

THE BARBADOS LUMBER MARKET.

Concerning the Barbados lumber market,
Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Co. in their last
report, say: There have been no receipts of
white pine for about six weeks, and we can
only repeat our advices that one or two cargoes
would do well, especially with a good propor-
tion of second quality. We value first receipts
at about $22 for first and $16 for second quali-
ty. In spruce the only arrival has been the
Etta E. Tanner, from Meteghan, N. S.,
which cargo was placed at $16.30 for ship-
ping. Stocks are almost nil, but demand at
this time is small; a couple of cars would sup-
ply requirements for some little time. In
shingles the Neva, from Paspebiac, Que.,
brought 1,095 M long Gaspe cedars, the bulk
of which lot was sold at $3.50. A small par-
cel of very superior quality, ex Nellie Morrow,
was placed at $5.40, and the diamond brought
120 M from Gaspe, which are now for sale.

SOME HARDWOOD GONSIDERATIONS.

A man who poses as a lumber trade prophet,
and who abounds in philosophical observations,
delivered a private lecture the other day on the
future of the hardwood market. His argument
was about as follows: Dry stock is exhausted,
and consumers are buying from hand to mouth,
and by the use of dry kilns fitting green stock
for consumption. In the meantime there is
the northern cut of hardwoods, which was last
winter the largest on record, and throughout
the country a big lot of lumber is going on to
sticks. A few months hence this lumber which
is being piled at the mills will be in condition
for shipment, and there suddenly will be a
large amount of hardwood on the market, and
then the market will break, and the fency
prices obtaining at this time will be a thing of
the past.

This argument, however, does not find favor
with the majority of the trade, and seems fully
counterbalanced by other considerations.
Lumber is being bought green simply because
consumers have exhausted the supplies of dry.
To a certain extent their purchases at the
present time are of stock, but no smal] amount
of the green lumber that is going into hands of
consumers is for immediate consumption.
While the output is large, the consumptive re-
quirement is so nearly on par with it that it is
impossible in some woods to increase the
stocks, and thay can be increased but slightly in
any variety. :

It is not only possible but probable that there ”

will be a readjustment of the hardwoods price
list, but that there will be any substantial de-
cline or that anything that can be called a
break in the values of hardwoods can take
place is altogether beyond the probabilities.

It should not be forgotten that there will be
for a long time to come a stocking-up require-
ment which, as yet, has hardly begun to be
satished. During the period of business de-
pression following the 1893 panic, manufactur-
ers generally allowed their stocks to reach a
very low point. This they could do with some
safety under conditions then prevailing, because
the stocks that they themselves lacked could
always be found in any desired quantity and for
immediate delivery. This kind of policy, how-
ever, cannot be depended upon in the long run,
and with more prosperous conditions lumber
consumers are desirous of carrying normal
stocks. They will not cease buying, therefore,
until their supplies shall be replenished to a
point which will enable them to be temporarily
independent of outside stocks.
of replenishment will not soon be reached, for
the demand for manufactured commodities con-
tinues large and shows no sign of abating.
Lumber is moving out in the shape of goods
about as fast as it can be secured, dry or green;
so the stability of the market seems assured for
practically a year to come. —American Lumber-
man.

Inthe ‘‘ Wanted and For Sale” department
of this issue will be found an advertisement offer-
ing for sale two valuable lumber and coal yards
recently owned by John W. Young & Sons Co.,

these yards is situated at White Plains, N.Y.,
the county seat of Westchester county. It
comprises a two-storey frame office building,
iron clad elevator, large brick and frame
planing mill and wood-working factory, coal
and lumber sheds, wagon and track scales,
etc. The other is situated at Tuckahoe, on
the New York and Harlem Railroad, and is a

Lumber Co. will be held at Calumet, Que., on
July 27th, to consider an agreement entered
into by the President of the company for the
sale of the mills and timber limits.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

Any manufacturer or dealer who has
dry lumber to sell can, virtually, fix his
own price; such is the position of the
market. Nearly all the mills report con-
tracts in advance, and the stock is being
shipped almost as fast as it comes from
the saw. This refers alike to pine, hard-
woods and shingles. Dealers in the East-
ern States have entered the Ontario
market in a way which proves that there
is a great scarcity of lumber across the
line, also that prices have reached a point
which has caused buyersto turn theiratten-
tion to Canadian stock. There is no ex-
ception to be made in respect to grades,
as all kinds of lumber meets with ready
sale. Manufacturers who held stock for
years for higher prices have in almost
every instance disposed of their holdings
this season, and at prices which netted a

satisfactory profit. There are mafy in-
quiries in the market for red pine, aid it
is quite probable that a greater quantity of
this lumber will be cut next year, as it 1s
gradually coming into greater favor in the
British market. Hardwood prices show
no material depreciation, and it would
appear as though the placing of the new
cut upon the market is not likely to affect
prices to any extent.

UNITED STATES.

Retailers seem to have suddenly real-
ized that prices, instead of declining, are
likely to further advance, and consequent-
ly they are eager to purchase their fall
stock. The feature of the past week has
been an advance in some of the markets.
On July roth the Lumbermen’s Associa-
tion of Chicago adopted.a new.list,.mak-«
ing an advance of one dollar on good
lumber, fifty cents on common boards,
and one dollar on piece stuff. At Min-
neapolis there is a probability of a like
advance. Trade in the Eastern States
continues to expand. While the receipts
at Buffalo and Tonawanda have been
heavy, the demand has been such that
dealers have found it impossible to in-
crease their stocks. The demand is most
active in the better and coarser grades,
although common lumber is by no means
dull of sale. At Buffalo the supply of
5-4 box is completely exhausted, and deal-
ers will pay almost any price for this class
of lumber. At Cleveland there was never
known to be such a demand for boxing
and crating lumber, the price of which is
from $3 to $4 higher than two months
ago. These remarks show the strong
position of the market in respect to pine.

Hardwood prices do not show any signs
of declining ; on the contrary, there has
been an advance in some markets on
quartered oak and thick ash, which are
more enquired for than the other woods.
Elm follows the lead of ash, and is being
purchased to some extent in its stead.
Maple and birch are steady at recent
quotations.

The recent advance made on spruce in
the Boston market has been maintained,
and manufacturers expect that the present
level of prices will rule through July and
August. Frames, 9 inches and under,
are quoted at $15.50, and 12 inches and
up at $17.

The shingle trade is steadily improving.
One concern in Chicago claims to have
cornered the supply of white cedars at
Lake Michigan points, paying from $1.90
to $2.10 for extra *A*s. As a result of

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

this, prices are likely to advance to $2.25
at the mills.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The statement of the Supervisor of
Cullers, Quebec, shows that in square
white pine and oak the quantity received
up to date is less than during the same
period last year, while waney pine, ash,
birch and maple shows an increase. The
demand is reasonably active, and prices are
steady. Merchants have been unusually
busy during the past week loading vessels,
several large cargoes having left Quebec
and Montreal for Great Britain with deals
and timber. Manufacturers report an un-
usually active demand for British deals,
while the United States trade has revived
to such an extent that the supply is unequal
tothe demand. One manufacturer reports
that prices for spruce and hemlock
boards, 7% dry, are the highest he has ever
known, and that American consumers are
now paying the duty. Prices are better
generally in Quebec than they have been
for some years. The cedar shingle
market maintains its buoyancy, sales
being made at $3.00, $2.60, $2 and $1.50.
In New Brunswick and Nova Scotia
there are few deals to be had, as
the output of most of the mills has
already been contracted for. Large
shipments are being made to the West
Indies, South America and Great Britain.

FOREIGN.

Circulars to hand review the past six
months operations in the British wood
market, and contain interesting statistics
regarding the imports, consumption and
stock. The imports have been heavier,
but increased consumption, has counter-
balanced this, and the market may be said
to be strong. At London the pine stocks
on public docks are some 104,759 pieces
less than on June 30th, 1898, while spruce
shows a decrease of 241,376 pieces. At
Liverpool the stock of waney board and
square pine 1s 234,000 feet, as compared
with 330,000 feet at same time last year.

Quebec pine deals are 4,000 standards
heavier, and New Brunswick deals about
2,c0oo standards heavier. Coming to the
Clyde, we find that second and fourth
quality pie deals and ends are about 50
per cent. less, third pine about the same,
and New Brunswick spruce about 50 per
cent. more than last year. Waney and red
pine, oak, elm and ash logs are also in
excess of stocks last year, while square
pine is less. While from these figures it
might be concluded that the market is
overstocked, it should be borne in mind
that the consumption this year has stead-
ily increased, and bids fair to continue
active throughout the season. The ten-
dency of prices generally at the present
time is to advance, and in view of this,
importers are storing as much stock as
possible in the hope of realizing higher
prices later in the season. Dublin prices
for spruce rule about as follows: Mira-
machi and St. John, N. B., £12 I5s.;
Quebec seconds, 3d to 33d per superficial
foot. More detailed particulars of the
leading markets will be found elsewhere.

elm logs for the Parry Soun] Patent
Cloth Board Co.

Four rafts of square timber were taken
from the Upper Ottawa limits this season,

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

Lumbermen in Ontario are much en-
couraged by the inquiries forstockthat have
been received from all quarters. It 1s be-
lieved that when the mills shall close
down for the season there will be very
little unsold stock in the yards, and deal-
ers who do not secure their winter supp'y
during the next couple of months will in
all probability be obliged to pay higher
prices, and they may find it impossible to
obtain stock at any price. A correspond-
ent in the Georgian Bay district writes
that the present activity in trade has not
been equalled for many years. Mill culls
which two years ago sold at $5 per thous-
and now meet with a ready sale at an ad-
vance of $2.50 upon that figure, and none
of the manufacturers have any large
stock for sale. The lumbermen are al-
ready giving some attention to preparing
for operations in the woods next winter.
lt is hoped that manufacturers will exer-
cise precaution and restrict the log pro-
duction. Although the market is strong,
it would be a mistake to increase the pro-
duction to any extent. The policy of each
manufacturer should be to cut an average
stock and obtain for it a remunerative
price.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

In another coJumn will te found a state-
ment of timber measured at Quebec up to
25th July for three years, by which it will be
observed that the receipts of waney white
pine this year are about the same as last
season, while square pine shows a large
decrease. There has also been a slight
decrease in the receipts of red pine and
an increase in birch and maple. Nothing
has transpired within the past week to
cause the market to fluctuate, and prices
generally are steady, with a moderate de-
mand. The proposed harbor works at
Montreal will require a large quantity of
timber. Although the government has
only granted $750,000 for these works, it
is expected that over $2,000,0co will Le
expended before they are completed.
The local demand for lumber is being re-
stricted on account of the scarcity of
structural iron, as work on large buildings
has been suspended until next season.

bi I

Foreign trade is active and many vessels
are loading.

Favorable reports continue tc be re-
ceived from New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia, where much of this season’s cut of
deals has been contracted for. New
Brunswick cedar shingles are stiffening in
price. Some of the mills are said to be
asking $3.20 and $3.25 for extras, $2.75
and $2.80 for clears, and $2.40 to $2.50
for second clears. Even at these prices
many of the yards are still in want of
shingles, as the mills have contracts in
advance and are unable to fill new orders.

UNITED STATES.

Reports from every section of the
United States are peculiarly unanimous
as to the strength of the lumber market.
Some of the northern operators are de-
clining to consider orders for a time, hav-
ing more business than they can properly
look after. Although prices usually
weaken during the months of July and
August, this year the reverse has been ex-
perienced. Minneapolis manufacturers
have just made an advance of 50 cents per
thousand on lumber and 25 cents on lath,
and a further advance is said to be very
probable.’ In Chicago, short piece stuff is
selling from the yards at $14, while a few
years ago from $9 to $10 was about the
average price. Eastern wholesale dealers
report numerous orders which they are
unable to fill on account of scarcity of
stcck. At Buffalo practically all stocks
are low, and particularly low grade cut
ting-up pine. Box makers are using
Norway to make up for the scarcity of
white pine.

No material change has taken place in
the spruce market. A meeting of manu-
facturers was held at Boston last week, at
which an advance in prices was discussed,
but beyond adopting more s‘ringent terms
of payment, no action was taken.

The hardwood situation has not been
relieved to any extent. Stock is moving,
from the mills as fast as manufactured,
and dealers are unable to stock up in
preparation for the fall trade. There is a
brisk demand for all sorts of shingles and
lath, the latter especially being very
scarce. The prices adopted at Buffalo
will be found elsewhere.

FOREIGN.

The general tone of the Bnitish trade is
good. Building work is proceeding with
unusual briskness, and there is a heavy
retail demand for sawn and planed lum-
ber. Merchants have so little stock to
offer f.o.b. that few of them. can quote
prices. A writer in the Timber Trades
Journal remarks that he never recollects
a similar state of the market, and the
general opinion is that next year prices
will be even stronger than at present.
The difficulty of getting good 3x9 and
11 inch Baltic deals is assisting the pine
and spruce market.

The official returns published by the
Board of Trade present some interest-
ng figures. During the six months end-
ing June 30th this year, the quantity of
sawn and hewn wood goods imported into
Great Britain was in excess of that of last
year by 1,460,213 loads, valued at $1,825-
889. From Canada there was imported
during this period 368,611 loads of sawn
timber and 25,744 loads of hewn timber,
against 222,850 and 14,490 loads respec-
tively in the first six months of last year.
The total from all countries this year was

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDiTION.

3,987,093 loads. Notwithstanding this
heavy import, the stocks on hand at the
present time are little in excess of those
held at the same time last year, which
shows the great volume of consumption.

In France trade is also active, goods
having been sold during the past month
at prices which have not been equalled in
the memory of those engaged in the trade.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

John Dewar & Sons, of St. George, N.
B., have loaded eleven vessels with lumn-
ber this season.

W. T. Quickfall, of Glen Allan, Ont,
has just shipped a car-loud of basswood
lumber to Havre, France.

It isthe intention of Alger, Smith &
Company to continue operations next
winter on their Pigeon river limits.

The Huntsville Lumber Co. have pur-
chased from J. J. Long, of Collingwood,
berth No. 8, Finlayson, paying $74,500
for the limits.

On July 14th the spruce manufacturers
met at Boston and advanced the price of
lath ten cents, making prices $2.35 for
1% in., and $2.50 for 15 in.

The Mikado Gold Mining Co., of Rat
Portage, Ont., wants tenders for the de-
livery before the close of navigation of
2,500 cords of tamarac and jack pine cord
wood.

A report from Quebec states that owing
to the carrying away of bridges and the
breaking of booms at St. Joseph and St.
Francois, goo cords of pulpwood are
adrift.

G. O. Buchanan, of Kaslo, B. C., pur-
poses establishing a saw mill at Duncan
City. Hehas been given a contract to
cut 2,000,000 of bridge timber for bridges
along the Kas!oand Slocan railway.

Howard & Craig, of Sherbrooke, Que.,
have recently purchased 6,000 acres of
choice timber lands in the counties of
Beauce and Dorchester. The timber
will be floated down the Chaudiere river
to their mill at Beauce Junction.

The steamship Labura cleared from
Parrsboro, N.S., on July 17th for Man-
chester, with 3,447,496 feet of deals, ends
and scantlinys, shipped by M. L. Tucker
for W. M. Mackay. This is the largest
cargo of lumber ever shipped from Nova
Scotia.

At Boston brown ash of the better
grade is in good demand, and the supply
is practically nil. Firsts and seconds
bring $38 to $40. Very little thick elm is
offered, and 3-inch Is particularly scarce.
I-inch is quoted at $28 to $30, and thicker
at $32 to $33.

There is an extraordinary demand in
Michigan for cedar. It is almost impos-
sible to get hold of the stock, in spite of
the largest output last winter ever known,
and prices have nearly doubled. The
telegraph and telephone companies are
using it in large quantities.

The steamer Morven sailed from Mon-
treal on Saturday last for Glasgow, having
on board 1,617 standards of deals and
timber, consigned by McLean, Kennedy
& Co. The steamship Hildawell is load-
ing a cargo of timber and deals for U. K.
on account of same firm.

Since last report the following rafts
have heen entered at the office of the
Supervisor of Cullers, Quebec: By Mc-
Arthur Bros., oak, pine, ash, etc., at New
Liverpool Cove ; Gillies Bros Co., square
and waney pine, at Bridgewater Cove ;
McLeod & McNeil, waney pine, at Sharp-
les Cove ; James McBurney & Co., waney
pine, at Upper Sillery.

In other seasons, considerable business
has been done in Northern Wisconsin
in the sawing of deals for export to Great
Britain, but there has nothing whatever
been done in white pine deals this season.
The only transaction on foreign account
has been 600,000 feet of Norway, which
was cut to specified dimensions for a
Canadian concern on Liverpool account.
This is due to the prosperous domestic
trade.

Shipments of lumber from St. Jobn,
N.B., tothe United Kingdom and con-
tinent during the first six months of 1898
aggregated about 46,000,000 feet of spruce
and 451,000 feet of birch. During the
same months of this year, the spruce
shipped to the United Kingdom alone
amounted to 67,762,544 feet, and the birch
to 2,603,674 feet.

The Saginaw Lumber & Salt Company,
of Saginaw, Mich., last week sold 800,000
feet of box lumber at $13.50, which
is the highest price at which box has yet
been sold. Two years ago $9 would have
been regarded asa high price for the:
same grade of lumber. Generally, box
is quoted at $12 and $12.50. Log run is
worth $15 to $17 for Canadian stock, and
$16 to $22 for Michigan stock, according
to quality. Norway is held at $9.50 and
higher, and mill culls at $8 to $1o.

A sale of dry stock was recently made
at Duluth, Minn., which shows the ex-
treme prices paid for lumber at the head
of the Jakes. The prices were as follows:
4to to in. No. 2 common, $12.50; 12 in.
and up, $13; 4 to 1o in. No. 1 common,
$15; 12 in. and wider, $18 ; 4 in. and up
No. 4 boards, $8.75—in all about 4,000,000
feet, besides which there was a lot of No.
4 boards in another sale at $9. In Janu-
ary last several firms sold their No. 4
boards at $6.50, aad a bill of stuff sold in
March this year showed as follows: 12
in. and wider No. 1, $16.50; 10 in.,
$14,255 8 ins, SISO yO) Wy pide

10 1n., $12.50 ; 8 in., $9.75 ; 6 in., $10.50;
4 in., $4.50.

The Liverpool correspondent of the
Timber Trades Journal, referring to the
pine and spruce market, says: Perhaps
the weakest item in Quebec goods is
still pine deals, boards, sidings, strips, and
similar forms of partly-manufactured pine
goods. The demand of last winter was
not sufficiently large to make any notable
impression upon the stock left over from:
the 1898season. These now figure in the
Liverpool stock at 15,649 standards,
against 11,020 standards in 1898, and 5,-
834 in 1897. With such a load as this to
carry, the market is feeling the effects of
the overweight. Spruce deals continue on
their upward move, and now shippers are
not only asking 2s 6d to §s per standard
more, but are even indifferent sellers at
this advance. It is the smaller ports
round the coast where the pinch is felt
more severely, for the great difficulty is
now to secure small sailing vessels of 250
to 300 standards’ capacity. The large
centres of the trade, which can accomo-

oa |
JuLx 26, 1899

date steamers of 1,500 to 1,750 standards,
do not suffer in the same manner.

The saw mill of Richard Kirton at Gren-
ville, near Newmarket, Ont., was burned —
recently, together with 20,000 fect of lumber.
The damage is $1,500, with no insurance.

THE BARBADOS MARKET.

From circulars just to hand we obtain the
following particulars of the Barbados lumber
market : '

On June 30th the schooner Mignonette ar-
rived from St. John, N.B., with 49 M feet
shipping white pine boards and planks. The
boards were sold at $23.60 and the planks at
$22.60. She also had on board 38 M feet
second quality boards, sold at $17.60, and 5
M feet narrow spruce, which sold at $14.10.
The steamship Taymouth Castle, from St.
John, N. B., brought 242 M long cedar
shingles, which sold at $3.26, and a
smaller lot, which sold at $3. The cargo of
the Herbert Rice, from Meteghan, N.S., which
arrived on same date, had 146 M feet spruce
lumber, sold at $17.15, and 48 M_ spruce
laying shingles, sold at $2.11. The Alliance
arrived from Gaspe, Que., with 127 M shingles,

principally spruce laying, which had not been

sold at Jast report. The demand for both

lumber and shingles is good.
—————_

SHIPPING MATTERS.

The recent advanced ideas of steamship
owners ishaving more or less of a tendency to
retard business, temporarily at least. Tonnage
ings, however, continue limited, and with
quite a number of vessels wanted for late July
and August loading. The situation naturally
favors vessels. Grain rates are fully sustained
on a moderate volume of business. There has
heen little done in timber and deals, but
tonnage is wanted and shippers show a
willingness to pay an advance over recent
fixtures.

From St. John, N.B., we learn of the follow-
ing fixtures: Bark Bristol, West Bay, N. S.,
to w. c. England, deals, §:s; ship Savona,

CANADA’S GREATEST FAIR.

This year will mark the coming of age of
Canada’s Great Fair and Industrial Exposition,
which will be held in Toronto from August
28th to September gth. It is just twenty-
one years since Toronto Exhibition was es-
tablished as an annual institution under the
present management. During that time it has
increased five-fold in every direction, and to-
day can fairly lay claim to have assumed a
national character. Last year upwards of
300,000 people attended, and this year such
arrangements are being made as will warrant
the expectation of a still larger attendance.
Many entirely new features will be presented,
while the exhibits, with an increased amount
given in prizes (totalling $35,000), will un-
doubtedly crowd the six hundred thousand
dollars’ worth of buildings to their utmost.
The usual brilliant military spectacles will be
given, illustrating recent famous feats of arms
on land and sea by both England and America,
and arrangements have been made for an
illustration of wireless telegraphy, wireless
telephoning and the improved X rays. In
short, the Exhibition will be more than ever
up to date.

The Lavin saw mill, located at Salmo, B.C.,
on the Nelson & Fort Shepard Railway, was
last week sold at sheriff’s sale to G. O.
Buchanan, of Kaslo. .Mr. Buchanan will
remove the plant to Duncan City.

PULP WOOD WANTED.

A British firm writes that they are desirous
of importing large quantities of spruce pulp
wood, to be in 6 ft. lengths, 4 in. and up in
diameter, clean of bark, and sound fresh wood
in every respect. They state that they would
take complete cargoes. Parties in a position
to supply the above will oblige by sending
their address to this office.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

It is a question with buyers of lumber
where the stock can be obtained rather
than the price which is to be paid for it.
At present dealers are visiting every likely
point in search of the same class of stock
which two years ago was a drug upon the
market. There has been a wonderful re-
vival of trade in the United States, and an
almost unprecedented demand for box
lumber. This box requirement has af-
fected other lines, which have been pur-
chased to some extent as substitutes for
box-making. The duty of two dollars
has but little effect on prices on this side
of the line, the consumer almost invariably
paying the tax. Itis a singular fact that
in the Georgian Bay district prices seem
to be firmer and conditions generally
better than in the Ottawa district.

The improved conditions in the hard-
wood trade have caused a greater develop-
went of that industry this year, but not-
withstanding an increased production, it
has been found impossible up to the
present to locate any quantity of dry
stock. The demand has been quite
equal to the supply, and dealers have
been obliged to buy the lumber in the log
in order to secure it. From present indi-
cations there will be no weakening of the
market this season.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

During the past week there has been
some improvement in the demand for
lumber throughout Manitoba and the
Northwest, and dealers are showing a
disposition to stock up for fall trade.
There is a possibility that prices will
advance later in the season, although this
advance is likely to be confined to the
classes of lumber which are used most
largely for finishing purposes. In British
Columbia the mills are taxed to their
utmost capacity, and in some _ sections
building operations have been delayed on
account of the scarcity of lumber. On
July 15th the saw mill owners of East and
West Kootenay formed a combine for
mutual benefit, and eventually with the
object of obtaining more remunerative
prices for their products. It will be
several months, however, before the com-
bine 1s in working order.

UNITED STATES.

There does not appear to be a
weak spot in the United States lumber
market. The urgency of demand is well
defined by our Buffalo correspondent, who
points out that in that market there is no
stock of any account excepting of barn
boards. -The Buffalo dealers have adopted
a new price list, which will be found in
another column. Altough eastern dealers
are said to have contracted for consider-
able stock to be delivered this fall, it is
learned that several of them are now in

the upper lakes district, in the hope of

contracting for further supphes. They
are also turning their attention to Ontario,
prices having now reached a point which
will permit of buying Canadian stock and
paying the duty. One dealer reports that
Canadian pine will go into Buffalo freely,
and that he is prepared to handle it in
quantity. Itis yet too early to properly
gauge the fall trade, although all indica-
tions point to a continuation of good busi-
ness. Some manufacturers even go SO
so far as to predict a famine in lumber
late next fall and during the winter. Their
views are based on the fact that the lum-
ber demand so far this season has been
from railroads, for construction work, and
for manufacturing purposes. The country
trade has been of little account, but now
that crop prospects promise favorably, a
considerabe demand from that quarter is
likely to be experienced. It is also point-
ed out that retail dealers hold no stocks of
any account, their purchases having
passed almost immediately into the hands
of consumers.

The hardwood market is quite as stong
as it was one month ago. Excepting in
maple and basswood, prices have stiffen-
ed. These show a slight weakening.
Ash and oak are being shipped green
rom the saws, and it 1s difficult even to
buy green stock

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

FOREIGN.

The tendency of lumber prices in the
British market is to harden, in con-
sequence of higher freights. Both pine
and spruce are improving in value, and
the bulk of the c.i.f. business is arranged
up to August. Importers are busy re-
ceiving their cargoes, and there is very
little buying, partly due to the fact that
shippers are unwilling to make further
sales except at considerably higher prices.
In the Lonkon market 11 inch spruce
deals are very scarce. Importers and
consumers are awakening to the fact that
"the available supply of Canadian spruce
this season will not be large, and it is
anticipated that there wiil be exhibited a
strong desire to contract for fall cargoes.
It would be no surprise if an advance of
10s per standard would be paid for spruce
deals before the season is over, and some
merchants even anticipate that this price
will be exceeded. At Liverpool con-
sumption continues good. Prices are
much firmer, and the stock has become
reduced. At Sunderland prices have
been so high that importers have refused
to buy, but now they are realizing that
they have to pay somewhat higher for
their goods in order to secure them. The
market for square timber is rather weak,
and evidences are seen each day that this
class of timber is gradually being super-
seded by deals and boards.

BUFFALO AND TONAWANDA.

{Correspondence of the CaANaDA LUMBERMAN. ]

‘« The price of pine lumber has now advanced
so far that we are bringing it in from Canada
right along, and pay the duty,” said a Buffalo
lumberman this week. This is the first note
of the change of base, though there has all
along been more or less receipt of lumber, es-
pecially hardwood, from the other side of the
line ever since the two dollar tariff was enacted.
It is not denied that the heavy tax on import-
ed lumber is to be paid with reluctance, but
it is becoming something of a necessity, for it
is a very hard task—and growing harder every
day—to get a sufficient supply of any sort of
lumber here. It used to be thought, and pro-
bably was the idea still when the Dingley
tariff was put on, that we were not in any
particular need of Canadian forest products,
and could take them or leave them as we
liked, The consumption of lumber has sud-
denly increased and is still increasing at a
rapid rate. Prices have bounded up all along
the line, and it is now found that, even in
midsummer, it is impossible to increase the
stocks very materially.

What is to be done? Every dealer who
comes back from the Jake pine district reports
that he is not able to buy any dry lumber, and
that he must take it not even sawed if he gets
any. So he buys in the log, with the saw mill
man as indifferent to the deal as though he
were asked for an opinion on the weather. He
can sell all he can produce for a long time and
he well knows it. So it is in line to go across
the line for help. Let Canada send vs her
poorest cuts if she likes, as used to be the com-
plaint. Box lumber is the scarcest, and it is
selling as high as $16 for thick cuts. We
want all sorts, There ia said to be nothing in
pine that can be called really plenty but barn
boards.

As to hardwood, the demand for oak is still
at its highest, with no material increase _1n the
supply. So many hardwood dealers have of
late made oak a specialty that the whole
country has been practically laid under contri-
bution, and yet there is not enough. The
Scatcherd mills at Memphis are running
strong, the Buffalo Hardwood company, Tay-
lor & Crate and H. S. Janes are getting sup-
plies from the Yazoo delta country in Missis-
sippi, the Empire Company has lately bought a
tract in Arkansas and will have a mill running
there in a week or two, with another to follow
the Sullivans are getting large lots from Michi-
gan by lake, and G. Elias & Bro. are looking
for a tract to buy, finding that they cannot
pick up lots already sawed fast enough to keep
them supplied. The McLeans have a sort of
monopoly in Indiana and are stocking up
some. Scatcherd is still in Canada for elm
and ash, but the search for oak there appears
to have been about given up.

The demand for strictly southern woods,
yellow pine and cypress, is not very strong,
especially as mill men there are also indifferent
to northern customers, the ocean trade being
so strong. There is a good demand for poplar,
with small supply, though it is not so scarce as
it was in the spring.

Has Canada any surplus shingles and lath ?
Both are very scarce and growing scarcer,
according to the general report. Even red
cedar shingles, which were at one time rushed
in here from the Pacific coast at a rate that no

market could stand up under, are as scarce as,
anything. As it stands now there is nobedy ”

disposed to stop off and cut out much of a stock
of either shingles or lath, There is larger
business in hand.

‘Che Buffalo and Tonawanda dealers have
this season held several meetings and discussed
grades and prices, with the result that new
price lists have been issued, but the latest
meeting was with representatives from Sagi-
naw and Cleveland added, anda general list
has been issued, which I send you. The re-
port of credits is most satisfactory. The doubt-

The Buffalo Lumber Exchange is taking
some enjoyment in a body thissummer. On the
11th of July it made a trip to Chatauqua Lake,
going fifty strong and filling the special car en-
gaged for the purpose, and giving up a whole
day to the occasion. The second trip is set
down for August 8th, which will be spent at
the Bedell House on Grand Island, which 1s
the old stamping ground of the exchange.
Manager A. P. Strong, of the Superior Lumber
Company, who is at the head ef the entertain-
ment committee, is an excellent travelling host
and sees that nothing is wanting.

James T. Hurd and Knowlton Mixer are on
western trips, looking into the pine situation
up the lakes.

The planing mill and sash and blind firm of
Dohn & Fischer at Black Rock, which does
considerable business in Canada when tariff
permits, has taken a new partner, G. W.
Beyer, who will represent the Fischer estate in
the firm without changing the capital invested.

Pan-American will not require much lumber
this year, unless the fence is built this fall,
which will be of hemlock.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Dealers who have visited the saw mills
of Ontario report that there is’ very little
dry Jumber to be purchased—some small
stocks of pine and less of hardwood.
For the season of the year the available
supply of pine is much below the average,
most of the manufacturers having ‘sold
their cut at. very ~ satisfactory figures.
Some shipments are being made to the
United States, and British orders are
also receiving some attention, but the
present -situation is due in no small
degree to increased local consumption.
During the past week, while all grades of
pine have been in good demand, there
has been a noticeable increase in the
movement of finishing lumber, as many
large buildings commenced early- in the
spring are now eating completion.
Buyers from the Eastern States are’ visit-
ing hardwood points in Ontano in search
of stock, but with little success, as the
bulk of the cut has already been con-
tracted tor. There is a great scarcity of
lath and shingles, and: higher prices are
predicted before the close of the seasor.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

In the province of Quebec the condition
of the lumber trade has improved of late,
due to an expansion of building operations
and to a larger export business. Manu-
facturers who have stock for sale show no
anxiety to dispose of it except at high
prices, being satisfied that there will be a
scarcity of stock in the fall, and a conse-
quent advance in values. In hemlock
and spruce boards and cedar shingles a
considerable trade is doing with the
Eastern States. Freight rates from
Quebec, as well as from the Maritime
Provinces, have stiffened within the past
week, and shippers have acceeded to the
demands of vessel owners only when
urgency compelled. Present indications,

‘however, point to continued firmness in

freights. The spruce stocks in New

UNITED STATES.

The lumber market of the United
States is bordering on the sensational,
and but for the knowledge that the im-
proved conditions are based on a solid
foundation, there would be reason to be-
lieve that a speculative boom had struck

‘

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

the lumber business. On July 2oth the
wholesale dealers‘ at Minneapolis made
an all-round advance of 50 cents per
thousand on pine. This, in the midst of
the summer season, was a surprise, but
ten days later a further advance of $1 on
lumber and 25 cents on lath, ~effective
August rst, was announced. This ad-
vance places lumber on an actual selling
basis of $13.50 for short piece stuff, a gain
of $3 since the first of the year. The de-
cision of the wholesalers was arrived at
in order to have some lumber for the
winter and spring trade, or, in other
words, to keep off buyers. Eastern dealers
are still in search of stock of all kinds,
but particularly box lumber and mill
culls. At Ashland, Wis., $8.75 per thous-
and is being offered for pine mill culls,
buteven this price fails to secure any
quantity of stock. In Michigan nearly
all the lumber manufactured is being con-
sumed by local industries. In New
York work on buildings is being abandon-
ed on account of the great cost of build-
ing material, including lumber. Con-
siderable stock is being received at
Buffalo, but dealers report their inability
to get anything ahead, so great is the de-
mand. The box makers there expect a
good season’s trade ; they are now turn-
ing down orders, sometimes owing to
scarcity of box material. There is still a
pronounced shortage in hardwoods, and
prices are as firm as ever. Prices of
maple, which last week showed signs of
weakening, are now firmer and expected
to remain at about the present basis.
The great scarcity. pertains to oak and
ash.

; FOREIGN.

Reports from the British market state
that the imports of wood goods during
July were unusally light, and the whole-
sale market is ata standstill on account of
lack of supplies. The stock arriving is
largely contracted for, a feature of the
trade which is responsible in no small
degree for the present strength of the
market. The greatest activity pertains
to spruce, which is steadily gaining ground
and advancing in price. At London 3 x9
third quality spruce has lately become
much firmer, while pine of first quality
commands high figures. At Tyne ports
prices remain firm for all classes of timber
and deals, 11in. being in great demand
and by no means plentiful.

The South American trade has so far

this season been unusually active, large
shipments having been made from tke
eastern provinces. West India orders

also represent a considerable volume of
business.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
. A recent sale of No. 4 boards was made
f.o.b. mill in northern Wisconsin at $10.50.
The Amherst Lumber Co. will saw 2,-

000,000 feet of lumber this season at their
mill at Tangier, N. S.

An exchange says that J. & T. Charlton
shipped their first raft of logs to the Unit-
ed States last week. They have still a
lot of logs which must be cut in Canada.

J. T. Horne has purchased from the
Bank of Montreal the mills situated on
the Kaministiquia river, at Fort William,
and formerly owned by Graham, Horne
& Co.

The firm of Clarke Bros., of Bear River,
N. S., will this season ship between 8,000,-
000 and 9,000,000 feet of lumber, which is
nearly double that shipped in any previous
year. They have already loaded a num-
ber of vessels for South America.

Mr. A. D. Cameron, of Ridgetown,
Ont., has purchased a timber limit of 2,-

200 acres in Algoma, together with saw
mill. It is estimated that there is on the
limit 15,000,000 feet of timber.

The Fredericton Boom Couipany have
rafted 21,066 joints at Douglas boom
during the season, containing 6 637,200
feet cedar, 1,858,740 feet pine, and 48,-
669,646 feet spruce, a total of 57,165,586
feet.

The Saginaw Lumber & Salt Company
are having some logs manufactured at the
mill of the Spanish River Lumber Co, at
Spanish River,-Ont. The Jumber bas
been sold at good figures, the buyer pay-
ing the duty.

The spruce manufacturers throughout
the Eastern States are holding firmly to
prices. Itis expected that, owing to the
decreased production, another advance
will be made next month. Many of the
small mills are closed down on account of
the low water.

The Trout Creek Lumber Co., under
the name of Buckel, Bechtler & Burk,
have completed their season’s cut at Trout
Creek, only reserving. a few extra long
logs for special orders. Trussier Bros.,
at same place, have about finished sawing
for the season.

Nearly 12,000,000 feet of lumber was
exported from St. John, N.B., in the two
weeks ending July 22nd. Of this, 8,500,-
ooo feet was for British ports, 2,845,000 for
the United States ports, and 450,000 feet
for Santa Cruz. To United States ports
went also 8,500,000 lath, 2,869 pieces of
piling and 530 cords of wood.

The bark Douglas sailed from Yar-
mouth, N.S., last week for Buenos Ayres,
with 555,000 sup. feet of lumber ; the Es-
peria, from Tusket Wedge for Oran, with
380 standards of deals ; and the Missis-
sippi, from Yarmouth, with deals, to west
coast of England.

The following rafts have been entered
at the Superviser of Culler’s office, Quebec,
since last report: Hon. J. K. Ward, at
Cape Rouge, pine; Wm. Mackey, at
Cape Rouge, pine; Fraser & Ca, at

Bridgewater Cove, pine; Thos. Mackie,

A gentleman who visited the Rainy
River district reports that he found the
log cut on the Rainy river= list winter
amoupted.to. 64,000,000 feet, of which 40,-
000,000 was cut on the American side of
the river and 24,000,000 on the Canadian
side ; that in addition 250,000 ties |were
cut. Of these, 150,000 were cut on the
American side and-100,000 on the Cana-
dian. The logs were all shipped to Rat
Portage, excepting about 5,000,000 feet,
which are being sawn.at local mills on the
Canadian side of the Rainy river. Of the
ties, 116,000 were cut for the Ontario and
Rainy River Railway.

There is a steady demand for all classes
of cooperage stock at Buffalo, dealers still
finding slack barrel hoops so scarce that
no quotation 1s proper, as the price paid is
largely a matter of dicker. Thec 1] for
apple barrel stock is strong, as at least a
fair crop is looked for. The supply of
basswood is larger than formerly, though
it cannot be called plentiful by any means.
It now looks as though there would be
material enough to carry the trade through
the season, which is better than was pre-
dicted early. Hoops are coming into
market more freely, and ought to be in
usual stock soon. There is less than the
average movement of flour, but: other
commodities demanding barrels, vespec-
ially cement and sugar, are strong. Job-
bers quote No. 1 flour barrel staves at
$6.75 per thousand; log run, $5.25 to
$5.50, and No. 1, $4.50 to $4.75. Bass-
wood heading, 4% cents per set.

THE AUSTRALIAN MARKET. .
Of the Australian lumber market Messrs.
Fraser & Co., Melbourne, say :

Business during the past month has been
chiefly confined to stocks in the yards, in which
period fairly good sales have been carried
through, principally to meet the requirements
of contracts arranged for building operations
fixed within the town and suburban districts,
where distinct improvement has been shown of
late. Enquiries from the country outlets are
still of no great importance, and not until the
demand increases from that quarter can we
accurately gauge the probable position of the
market for the near future. The continuous
rains which have fallen within the past two
months have, doubtless, militated against large
supplies being sought for from the internal
parts of the colony, but we are hopeful that in
the coming spring season a better consumption
will be experienced in the country districts
owing to the great benefit that must ensue from
the late and present rainfall. -

At the moment stocks on hand, in conjunc-
tion with Shipments shortly ‘‘ to arrive,” appear
equal to méet all demands likely to be made
upon them for the next few months, while as a
fair number of fixtures have been concluded
from the customary sources of export, we there-
fore judge that supplies in the future will not be
below the wants of the market, even though an
increased business be manifested in the colony
generally-

With the exception of Oregon, which has
meantime slightly advanced in value, prices
otherwise are practically unaltered, and are not
likely to advance to any serious extent for the
present, as business does not usually brighten
in the winter months, and for the reason that
most of the distributing mill firms hold fair
supplies of such timber which is in most con-
sumption here, purchased at rates under exist-
ing laid down cost of the same. Until these
stocks are about exhausted, we can scarcely
look for any material improvement to be
shown, so far as market values are concerned.

SPRUCE AND BaLTic WHITE DEALS —Im-
ports, nil. Several thousand pieces of Cana-
dian deals have been placed for local wants.
Values are from 24d. to 25d. per foot of 9 x 3.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

A SHORTAGE IN SPRUCE.

With a view to advising British timber mer-
chants, the Timber News publishes the follow-
ing regarding the spruce supply :

It seems as if at last merchants were begin-
ning to realize that a shortage of spruce deals is
an assured fact, and the few cargoes which are
being offered find ready purchasers at improv-
ing prices. The Liverpool market does not
for the moment respond so eagerly to this con-
dition of things as the markets around the
coast, because, several large cargoes having
recently arrived, there is some desire to meet
the demand. Fleetwood is short in stock, and
cargoes are greatly wanted for Garston and the
Canal. Large lower port cargoes can now be
sold at £6 15s. c.i.f., with an advance for St.
John deals ; but even at such figures for later
loading sellers are gaining very little advantage
over earlier sales. Freights are higher, 48s.
gd. having been paid for steamers from St.
John and 50s. to 52s. 6d. for fair-sized sailers
from some of the Nova Scotia and New Bruns-
wick ports. The tendency of steam freights
seems toward a further rise, and the small
supply.of sailing vessels should prevent any
serious fall in freights for such tonnage: In-
surance rates will shortly begin to mount up,
and as the terms for sailer cargoes for October
sailing touch 10 guineas per cent., or, say, IOs.
to 12s. 6d. per std., there is very litle induce-
ment for business except at a considerable-ad-
vance upon present prices.

The stock abroad available for shipment is
admitted to be extremely light. At St. John
several of the mills have shut down, and it is
reported that the further cut there will not
much exceed 10,000 stds. In Nova Scotia
there is very little obtainable, and elsewhere
the quantity of lower port deals offering is only
small. From the St. Lawrence there is a
greater supply on the market, but such speci-
fications are only suitable for certain districts.
Altogether the season promises t> close with
considerable scarcity and higher prices. It is

111.

probable that should such prove the case, the
production during the coming winter will be
greatly stimulated, and the merchants should
watch carefully all indications in this direction,
as experience teaches that the tendency is to
go from one extreme to the other, and for a
small production to be followed by an ex-
cessive output. The South American and
West Indian markets continue important
buyers, and this demand. is likely to increase
rather than otherwise.

ship Thornhill, St. John, N.B., to w.c. Eng-

WESTERN CANADA AND EXPORT EDITION.

The publishers ofthe CanaDA LUMBERMAN
are completing arrangements for the publica-
tion, about the 1st of October next, ofa special
number, to be known as the Western Canada
and Expert Edition, and to be devoted parti-
cularly to the lumber interests of Manitoba,
the Northwest Territories and British Columbia,
and to the export lumber trade of this part of
Canada. It isthe purpose to place a copy of
this number in the hands of every saw mill
retail dealers and
Western Canada, and also to distribute a large
number of copies amongst the timber importers
and others interested in Great Britain, South
America, China, Japan, South Africa and
Australia, to which countries British Columbia
timber products are exported. By this means
it is sought to better acquaint foreign con-
sumers with the timber resources of our western

owner, wood-workers in

provinces, and with the possibilities of obtain-
ing supplies in Canada. There are many
manufacturers in the Dominion’ who are in-
terested in supplying the lumber requirement
of the countries named. To these the oppor-
tunity is given of being represented in this
number. Information regarding prices for
advertisements will be gladly furnished upon
application.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.

ONTARIO,

Lumber trade conditions in - Ontario
viewed from any standpoint, are of a de-
cidedly hopeful character. The volume
of trade is satisfactory, prices firm, and
the prospective demand the most pro-
mising. The trade of the past week has
served to substantiate what was predicted
earlier in the season, namely, that there
would be no perceptible midsummer lull
in business this year. All the mills, pine
and hardwood, are working to their full
capacity, and many of them are behind
with orders. In the Ottawa valley British
trade is said to be quiet, but for other
lines there is a remarkably brisk demand.
Stocks of box lumber are practically ex-
hausted. The movement of the lower
grades generally is such that higher prices
have been paid in some instances. Sales
of mill culls are reported at $9 while one
year ago it would be difficult to obtain
$6 for similar stock. There are no heavy
pine stocks held either in the Ottawa
valley or the Georgian Bay districts, and
the universal opinion 1s that the fall will
witness a shortage in many _ grades.
Although it is yet too early to predict,
the present indications are that next year
lumber prices wi!l be even higher than
they are at the present time.

The completion of buildings is creating

a larger demand for shingles, which have
been moving moderately all season.
Dealers are unable to secure any stocks
in advance of orders. Both pine and
cedar meet with ready sale.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The lumber requirement in Manitoba
is now confined largely to building opera-
tions, which continue very brisk. A
heavy movement of material in Winnipeg
is reported, and the outlook for fall trade
is good. Crop prospects throughout
Manitoba and the North-west are favor-
able, and when these have been harvest-
ed the farmers will turn their attention to
erecting new buildings and carrying out
needed improvements. The saw mills in
British Columbia are busy on orders both
for the home market and for export.
Railway construction is providing an out-
let for much timber, a number of contracts
having recently been let. Arrangements
are being perfected to form an organiza-
tion to control the lumber business of the
Kootenay and Slocan Lake district.

UNITED STATES.

Minneapolis is looked upon as the baro-
meter that shows the condition of all the
markets in the north-western pine dis-
trict. For this reason the figures show-
ing the shipments have additional inter-
est. For the first seven months of this
year the shipments from that market
were 274,900,000 feet as against 194,400,-
ooo feet for the corresponding month of
1898. The demand has been such that
very little unsold stock is now on the
market and wholesalers are advancing
prices in the hope of being able to retain
what stock they have to supply the late
fall and winter trade, when it is believed
that even higher prices will be realized.
The position in the east corresponds to
some extent with that in the Lake Superior
district. The call for lumber is stead-
ily expanding, and notwithstanding quite
heavy purchases made by wholesalers,
there is no great supply of any kind of
Jumber in the yards. It is singular that
in the midst of the receiving season there
are many grades of which the supply is
decidedly short. At Buffalo and Tona-
wanda No.2 and No. 3 cuts are very
scarce. Mill cull stocks have practically
passed into the hands of box-makers,
who have been unable to secure an ample
supply of pine and are looking around for
substitutes. At Tonawanda there are
many enquiries in the market for box
material of promiscuous widths, but dealers
refuse to quote prices, not knowing where

Il.

to obtain the stock. No.3 barn Ix 12
is selling at $17 to $17.50.

Reports from the eastern markets tell
of the continued firmness of hardwood
_ prices, and there seems reason to believe
that there will be no appreciable weaken-
ing of prices before the winter at least.
An expansion is reported in the demand
for maple, especially cuts suitable for
flooring, which sell at Buffalo at $20 for
firsts and seconds and $15 for common.
Elm, ash and basswood are also much
enquired for.

FOREIGN.

The lumber which has reached British
ports of late has to large extent been sold
before its arrival, and consequently mar-
ket quotations have not been influenced
thereby. The tendency of prices on near-
ly all lines of wood goods is towards an
advance. The stocks at London and
Liverpool show a favorable comparison
with those of one year ago. At London
the stock of pine and spruce deals is
some two thousand pieces less, while at
Liverpool it is about equal to that of last
year. At both London and Liverpool
however, there 1s much smaller quantity
of square timber in public docks, that at
Liverpool, for instance, being less than
one-third of what it was at same time
last year. With a steady consumption,
this is likely to be somewhat reduced even
before the close of the import season.
Waney pine is firm at at 2s 6d and 2s 9d
for 19 and 20 inch average. There is a
specialy good demand for large sized logs
of red pine, birch, ash and elm, but the
smaller sizes are little enquired for. Im-
porters are now showing a strong disposi-
tion to contract for fall goods, tut are
realizing that there is very little Canadian
stock to be obtained, and that for this
they must pay a high price. Taken alto-
gether the position of Canadian timber is
very satisfactory.

Considerable shipments continue to be
made to South America and the West
Indies, where the demand seems to be
steadily expanding ; prices are also show-
ing increased strength.

Ae ES

STOCKS AND PRICES.
Tenders are wanted by the city of To-
ronto for the supply of oak and elm lum-
ber. The date limit is August 24th.

Box lumber is selling at $12 and $13 at
Saginaw, Norway at $9.50 to $12, mill
culls at $8 to $10, and the log run at $15.

Donald Fraser and Sons, of Frederic-
ton, N. B., are filling an order for 1,-
600,000 box shooks for the British market.

Johnson & Beveridge, of Parry Sound,
Ont., have been given a contract for 5,-
000,000 feet of logs, to be taken out during
the coming winter.

The Ontario & Rainy River Railway
Company are asking for tenders for the
construction of 100 miles of road. Plans
are on view at the company’s office in
Toronto.

The Nova Scotia Carriage Co., of Kent-
ville, N. S., want tenders for the supply of
20,000 feet of 1 and 1% inch basswood, 8
inches and up wide, to be delivered by
October ‘oth.

White ash is quoted at Buffalo at $50
to $60 for firsts and seconds, and $28 to
$35 for common. Thick basswood sells
at about $26, and $26 to $30 is about
the average quotation for elm.

Messrs. Graham, Horne & Co., of Fort
William, who became financially embar-
rassed about one year ago, have again
secured control of the mill from the Bank
of Montreal. It is the intention to operate
it next year, and with that end in view

logging operations will shortly be com-
menced in the woods.

It is stated that Messrs. McCormack &
McLeod, who are extensive loggers in the
Georgian Bay district, have secured the
contract for building five miles of spur
lice from the Ottawa, Arnprior and Parry
Sound Railway to the town of Parry
Sound, and also the contract for building
twenty miles of the James Bay Railway
north of that town.

Referring to the shingle market at
North Tonawanda, a correspondence of
the American Lumberman states that in
the past conditions have not warranted
the dealers there in laying in a stock of
them. Now, however, the demand has
increased to such an extent that everyone
is looking around for a supply. Buyers
from the east report that they cannot find
a sufficient quantity to supply their wants.

There has been a great improvement in
the demand for hemlock lumber within
the past three months, and frequent ad-
vances have been the result. The base
price at Buffalo is $11.50 for thick and
$12 for boards, which is $3 more than
ruling quotations six months ago. At
Philadelphia prices are $13.50 and 16 feet
and under, $14 for 18 and 20 feet, with
20 cents additional for every two feet ad-
ditional for every two feet additional in
length.

Following is the result of a recent sale
of Canadian deals, etc., held by Calder,
Henderson & Livingstone, at Glasgow,

THE BARBADOS MARKET.

Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son& Co., in their
last report, review the Barbados lumber
market as follows :

The ‘* Moss Rose ” bas arrived from Liver-
pool, N. S., with 1om. ft: Shipping, and 165
m. 2nd. quality white pine. This cargo coming
toa virtually bare market, brought good prices,
$23. 60 for shipping and $17. 30 for 2nd quality.
The shipping was such a small quantity that it
cannot be cunsidered asa criterion for the sale
of cargo lots, but we would consider fair valu-
ation for a couple of cargoes,say, about $22 for
shipping, and $16 or thereabouts for second
quality. In spruce there have been no further
receipts ; one or two cargoes would likely
bring from $16 to $17. In long Gaspe cedar
shingles the market has been variable, and
sales have been at various prices as to quality.
A speculator has come in during the past few
days and taken some of the later shipments, as
we have been pointing out that we did not be-
lieve that the receipts would be heavy during
the remainder of the season. Arrivals have
been ex ‘‘ Ceylon,” from Gaspe, Que., with
165 m. of superior quality, sold at $5.21 ; ex
«‘ Advance,” from Campbellton, N. B., 131 m.,
sold at $3.03. The speculator referred to pre-
viously has taken bulk of ‘* Golden Hind’s”
cargo, some 760 m., at $3.83. A small parcel
of dimension shingles, 5, 6 and 7 inch, have
beeh placed at $5.40, $6.40, and $7.40;

WESTERN CANADA AND EXPORT EDITION.

The publishers of the CANADA LUMBERMAN
are completing arrangements for the publica-
tion, about the 1st of October next, of a special
number, to be known as the Western Canada
and Expert Edition, and to be devoted parti-
cularly to the lumber interests of Manitoba,
the Northwest Territories and British Columbia,
and to the export lumber trade of this part of
Canada. It isthe purpose to place a copy of
this number in the hands of every saw mill
Owner, retail dealer and wood-worker in
Western Canada, and also to distribute a large
number of copies amongst the timber importers
and others interested in Great Britain, South
America, China, Japan, South Africa and
Australia, to which countries British Columbia
timber products are exported. By this means
it is sought to better acquaint foreign con-
sumers with the timber resources of our western
provinces, and with the possibilities of obtain-
ing supplies in Canada. There are many
manufacturers in the Dominion who are in-
tefested in supplying the lumber requirement
of the countries named. To these the oppor-
tunity is given of being represented in this
number. Information regarding prices for
advertisements will be gladly furnished upon
application.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS,
ONTARIO.

A number of buyers from the Eastern
States have visited Ontario manufacturing
points during the past week. Some of
them were prepared to purchase either

pine or hardwoods, but they have
been unsuccessful in securing any quan-
tity of stock. In some _ instances,

however, orders have been placed for
lumber to be manufactured this fall. The
general report from the mills is that the
demand is greater than the supply, and
that lumber is being shipped green from
the saw. There is a particularly brisk
demand for dressed lumber and mill
culls.

Preparations are being made in the
Ottawa valley district for the winter’s
operations in the woods. It is probable
that the production of logs will be greater
than last winter, although the quantity
may be restricted by the scarcity of labor
and consequent high wages.

A branch of the lumber business that is
particularly prosperous is the cooperage
trade. Few mills have any slack barrel
stock on hand in shipping condition, while
stocks in the process of seasoning are very
small, and are held at a high figure. This
refers to staves, hoops and heading, but
more especially to hoops. The average
prices are, we believe, slightly higher than
those quoted on the fourth page.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Retail dealers in Manitoba and the
Northwest are stocking up for fall trade,
and consequently there is a large move-
ment of lumber from wholesale yards.
Prices generally are being adhered to.
The mills in British Columbia are enjoy-
ing a brisk trade, export, local and eastern
business being in good shape. The local
consumption this season has been greater
than ever before, while there has also
been a slight improvement in prices.
The new mill of the British Columbia
Mills, Timber & Trading Co., at Hast-
ings, is about to commence operations.
This will increase the output considerably.

UNITED STATES.

The United States lumber market is
quite as firm as when last report was
written. At some points trade is quiet
only on account of the limited quantity of
stock for sale. Prices at western pro-
ducing points have been firmly main-
tained, while in the east dealers have felt
compelled to make further advances in
order to equalize the additional cost of the
stock in the west and the advancing lake
freights. On August 14th Tonawanda
dealers issued a new price list, advancing
all kinds of stock by from one to two
dollars per thousand. This market re-
ports a brisk export trade and a strong
demand for 14-inch boards, orders for
which are being turned down on account
of the scarcity of stock and high prices
asked. Buffalo is short of low grade
cutting-up pine. At Boston pine has ad-
vanced about one dollar per thousand in
the last two weeks, and there is a slight
increase in the demand from many
sources,

The hardwood market remains un-
changed, excepting that as the season ad-
vances the opinion is gaining ground that
prices of several kinds of hardwood will
go still higher. There is a shortage of
basswood in the Buffalo and Tonawanda
markets, and prices are advancing almost
daily. Thick white ash is exceedingly
scarce at Boston, three and four-inch
bringing $60 to $65; 1%, 1% and 2-
inch is quoted at $49 to $51, and 1-inch
at $42 to $44. Elm is in good de-
mand at $30 to $33, and maple is steady
at $27 to $30 tor 1-inch, $29 to $31 for
1} and 13-inch, and $32 for 2-inch.

FOREIGN.

The conditions in the British market

have been improved by exceptionally

favorable weather for building work.
There continues to be an active consump-

tion of wood goods and a gradual
strengthening of the market. Lately
some sensational values have been ob-
tained for choice specifications. A parcel
of Archangel planks sold at $20 per stan-
dard, while Quebec white pine of first
quality is selling at $26in London. This
is a much better price than has ruled
for some time. The market is cleared of
II inch spruce, and common whitewood
of this width is not easily picked up. Re-
ports from nearly all the importing centres
tell of an improvement in spruce. Im-
porters expect to realize still better prices,
and are therefore not forcing the market.
The heavy receipts of pine and spruce at
Hull last year has resulted in an expan-
sion of the market for Canadian goods.
A boat bas been fixed from Montreal to
Hull at 47s 6d for August loading, against
46s 3d for July. At Glasgow a fair de-
mand exists for pine deals, with the ex-
ception of third quality, which are rather
dull of sale.

The Barbados market remains steady
and the stock is none too heavy. In
South America there is a fair demand,
but prices are low. A cargo of spruce
was sold recently at $25 cif. Rio de
Janerio. Pitch pine sells at $25.50 to
$25.75 c.if.

ET

STOCKS AND PRICES.

The bark Veronica sailed last week
from Portland, Me., for Buenos Ayres,
with a cargo of 1,022,862 feet of spruce
lumber.

The Hawkesbury Lumber Co., of
Hawkesbury, Ont., last week sent a gang
of 80 men to their limits in the Temis-
camingue district.

The total shipments of lumber out of
Lake Superior this year to August 15
were 511,000,000 feet. This is 160,000,-
ooo feet more than to the same date last
year.

Alger, Smith & Co., of Detroit, Mich.,
are filling a government contract for
square timber to be used at Buffalo. Be-
tween four and five million feet will be re-
quired.

The Department of Interior at Ottawa
is inviting tenders up to September 18th
for a permit to cut timber ona 4o-acre
limit in British Columbia, being. berth
No. 212.

According to the Board of Trade re-
turns, the import of wood goods into the
United Kingdom for the seven months
ending July 31st last totalled 4,176,846
loads, valued at 49,508,036. In 1898 the
import was 3,547,279 loads, valued at
£8,267,031.

The Mersey Docks and Harbor Board
at Liverpool, Eng., through their agents,
Messrs. Duncan, Ewing & Co., invite
tenders for the supply of 4,000 feet waney
board pine, 4,000 feet rock elm and 2,000
feet red pine timber, 30 standards of
spruce deals, flooring boards, etc.

Canadian lumber imported into Boston,
Mass., amounts annually to about 60,000,-
000 feet of spruce, 50,000,000 feet of white
pine, 160,000,000 cedar shingles, and Io,-
000,000 feet of hemlock. The bulk of the
pine is imported by the Skillings, Whit-
neys & Barnes Lumber Co., and much of
the spruce by Stetson, Cutler & Co.

There is a strong inquiry for lumber
in. Michigan. C.C. Barker, of Saginaw,
is cutting 3,000,000 feet tor a Canadian
firm, which is about the only lot of unsold
stock in the market. The sale is reported
of 1,000,000 feet of thick plank, to go to
Batavia, Ill., at an advance of $4 per M.
feet over last year’s prices. Box lumber
is much inquired for at $12 and $13.

Following are the average quotations
for timber at Irish ports: Miramichi
deals, £12 10s per Irish standard of 3,-
240 feet ; St. John (N. B.) deals, £12 10s;

WHITE PINE VALUES.

For the first time in the history of the white
pine trade for many years, if perhaps ever, the
white pine manufacturers and jobbers of a large
portion of the state of Michigan, notably of
Saginaw and Bay City, of Toledo, Cleveland
and Buffalo and Tonawanda, have agreed on a
current price list for white pine lumber. These
prices have been gradually formulating all dur-
ing the season, and were practically agreed
upon by nearly the entire element of the mar-
kets mentioned during the latter part of July,
to take effect on August 1. As far as the Lum-
berman can learn, by a reasonably close canvass
of central aud eastern markets, these prices are
being very closely adhered to. Values have
been made to absorb some slight inequalities of
freight from the various distributing points, and
are based on a price delivered at Pittsburg,
Pa. The prices are made $2.50 higher to
cover New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington and points taking these rates.
Pittsburgh price current for uppers I to 2 inches
in thickness is $53.50; 10 and 12-4 uppers $9
higher, and 16-4 $14 higher. 1 to 2 inch
selects are quoted at $48.50, with a corre-
sponding increase for 10, 12 and 16-4. 8 inch
and up, fine common, I to 1% inches in thick-
ness, is quoted $41.50, 8-4 at $42.50, 10 and
12-4 at $52.50, and 16-4 at $57.50. 1 inch
shop 1s rated at $30.50, 5 and 6-4 at $37-50,;
8-4 at $38.50, 10 and 12-4 at $44.50 and 16-4
at $46.50. No. 2 shop in inch is quoted at
$20.50, 5 and 6-4 at $28.50, and 8-4 at $29. 50.
Thick No. 3 shop is listed at $23.50. No. I
inch. molding boards are quoted at $37.50
and thick at $40; No. 2 inch at $32.50
and thick at $33.50; inch stained saps at
$26.50 and thick at $28.50. No, I base
and casing boards are listed at $38.50 for 4-
inch and $39.50 for 5 to g-inch ; No. 2, 4-inch,
at $31.50, and 5 to g-inch at $32.50. Shaky

ness, at from $27.50 to $32.50. No. 1 shelv-
ing, according to width, from $32.50 to $37.50;
No. 1 dressing from $27.50 to $35.50, accord-

from $23 to $27. Six-inch beveled siding is
quoted as follows: Clear, $24.50; No. I,

THE BARBADOS MARKET.

Reports to hand dated August 5th give the
following particulars of the Barbados lumber
market :

The demand for white pine and spruce con-
tinues good. The Roseneath, from Jordan
River, N.S., arrived on July 26th with 100 M
feet shipping white pine, which was sold at
$24.12. The Rhoda, from Liverpool, N.S.,
arrived on July 28th with 80 M feet shipping
and 127 M feet second quality white pine, sold
at $23.53 and $17.30 respectively. The last
arrival was the Trader, from Shelburne, N.S.,
with 124 M white pine boards, sold at $23 for
shipping and $17.60 for second quality. Un-
less receipts are heavy in the near future, fair
prices should be maintained. The stock of
spruce is small, but the demand at this season
of the year is not heavy. If the price of second
quality white pine keeps up it will assist the
sale of spruce.

SHINGLES.—In shingles the only receipts
have been 530 M Jong Gaspe cedar, per Duart
Castle. Of this stock only 33 M dimension,
4, 5 and 6 inch, have been disposed of, the
prices realized being $4.50, $5.50 and $6 re-
spectively. The balance of the stock has been
stored in the hope of being able to obtai
better prices later on,

TIMBER MARKET REPORT.
The following particulars of the Glasgow

market are given in the last report of Messrs.
Edmiston & Mitchell :

The work on hand in all directions continues
large, and a heavy demand for all classes of
wood goods is assured for some considerable
time. Buyers are now beginning to realize that
they will have to pay advanced prices ere long,
and already the market has further stiffened in
several directions. This season’s import of
Quebec timber to date has been 20 per cent.
less than last year, while pine and spruce deals,
from Quebec and Montreal, are II per cent.
less. Lower port deals are, however, in excess
of last year’s import by about 22 per cent.
Shipments by the liners from America have
been on a-large scale.

House building continues with unabated
energy, and there is a large amount of first-
class work on hand. Large quantities of
spruce deals are being consumed in the new
rgor Exhibition buildings, which are already
well under way.

WANEY BoaRDwoop.—First class. —There
have been no arrivals during the month, but
two steamer cargoes are at hand. Deliveries
from the ponds have been exceedingly quict.
Prices for long timber remain very firm, and
are likely to advance in sympathy with the rise
of value in Canada. Short joinerwood is
hardly asked for, and the stock is ample for all
requirements. Second class.—There has been
one or two inquiries, but we bear of no busi-
ness resulting yet.

RED PINE.—Most of this year’s import bas
already been disposed of, and further consign-
ments would meet with ready sale, as the stock
of first class timber is small.

Oaxk.—One of our railway companies was in
the market. So far as we can learn, they have
only bought one parcel. The stock is heavy
and the inquiry, unfortunately, very limited.

ELM.—All the fresh imports have been dis-
posed of at remunerative prices. There are

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

several good inquiries in the market, and early
consignments on contract are eagerly awaited for.

BIRCH.—The import from Montreal and
Quebec for July is about 300 loads, consisting
principally of small wood 13-14 inch average,
for which the demand has rather slackened of
late. Value of this average is about 15d to
16d, but several lots have gone into store
recently, indicating a weaker tone. There is
a fair demand for large timber 17 inches and
up, which has been sold at from 1s 8d up to 2s
3d per cubic foot for 20 inch average.

AsH.—The import for July from Montreal
and Quebec consists of about 75 loads, all of
which was small average sized wood, and some
of it of indifferent quality and of bad color. Is
7d to 1s 8d have been about the ruling prices
for 13-14 inch average, while 16 inch has
brought 1s rod.

PINE DEALS, Erc.—Business during the
month on account of the holidays has been
quiet. Prices, however, are firm, with an up-
ward tendency. Broad first quality pine deals
are-selling at £22 to £25; 11 inch, £21 to
#22; ends. and narrows, £14 10s to £19;
Second quality pine deals—1r inch and up,

11]...

£16. to £18; non-dimensions, £11 to Pee
Third quality pine deals—11 inch and up, £9
Ios to £11; narrows, £7 to £7 15s; ends,
£7 to £7 10s. Fourth quality pine deals—r1
inch and up, 47 5s to £7 10s; narrows, £6
Ios to £6 15s. Red pine deals—g and 11
inch by 3 and 4 inch, 410 to £11}; narrows,
48 5s to £8 5s. First quality pine sidings—
417 to £20 10s, according to specification.

SPRUCE.—12 inch and up, 48 to £8 10s;
10/11 inch, £7 5s to £7 10s; g inch, £7 to
47 58; 7/8 inch, £6 to £6 tos.

A saw mill at Wilbur, near Kingston, Ont.,
owned by W. C. Caldwell, of Toronto, was
burned recently.

FIRES,

About 125,000 feet of lumber in the yard of

tanguishene, Ont., was destroyed by fire on

THE BARBADOS MARKET.

The Barbados lumber market is thus re-
viewed by Messrs. Clairmonte, Mann & Co.
in their report dated August 18th :

The only arrival of lumber within the past
fortnight was the cargo per Andrew Burnham,
from Newfoundland, which sold as follows:
35 M. feet white pine boards at $18.60, 4 M.
feet spruce boards at $13.60, 23 M. feet white
pine at $18.83, 17 M. feet spruce at $14.13,
5 M. feet birch at $14.14, and a small quantity
of scantling at $12.60. The demand for both
white pine and spruce is good. Last sales of
Nova Scotia lumber have been made as follows:
White pine boards, $23; planks, $17.60 for
first quality and $17.30 for second quality ;
spruce at $17.50 for first quality. Pitch pine
sells at $21.11 for merchantable, $15.51 for
refuse, and $13.51 for second quality.

Last sale of Gaspe cedar shingles was at
$3.83 to $5.27 per M., according to quality.
Cedar laying sells at $2.60 and spruce laying
at $2.30.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

The trade of the month now drawing to
a close has been larger in volume than
any August for several years past. While
orders have not been as plentiful as in the
spring season, yet the volume of lumber
moved augurs well for a heavy fall trade.
Competition in buying is very keen, and it
is a singular fact that retail prices have
not advanced in proportion to the higher
prices asked by manufacturers. The re-
sult of this is that dealers are doing busi-
ness on a small margin of profit. While
most of the dealers are prepared to hold
their stock at a price which would give a
reasonable profit, others indulge in cutting
prices and accepting a margin of profit of
about 50 cents per thousand. Take, for
instance, 2X Io and 2 x 12 pine plank, for
which manufacturers are asking $11 and
$12. For this stock it is impossible to
obtain more than an advance of 50 cents
or one dollar on this price from retail deal-
ers in Toronto. The retailer and con-
sumer are benefitting at the expense of the
wholesale dealer. This fact serves to
illustrate the necessity of some organiza-
tion among the lumber trade by which a
basis of prices would be fixed. Report 1s
still heard of the scarcity of hardwood
lumber, and in some instances substitutes
are being sought for. :

The completion of buildings is creating
an increased demand for shingles, of
which there is but a limited stock at the
mills. It is probable that an advance in
prices will take place at an early date.
Lath is scarce and in good demand.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

As the season advances the position of
manufacturers in Quebec and the mari-
time provinces continues to strengthen.
There are many enquiries in the market
for lumber for fall shipment, but few of
the mill owners are in a position to enter
into contracts, having disposed of their
season’s production. A _ considerable
quantity of lumber and shingles is being
shipped to the United States, where prices
are steadily advancing. The advance in
lumber in New Brunswick is well illus-
trated by a recent transaction. Last
spring a dealer purchased 1,500,000 feet of
deals at Hopewell Cape, paying $7 per
thousand. He.js now reported to have
sold this stock at $10 per thousand, mak-
ing a profit of over $4,000 on the transac-
tion.

Foreign orders represent no small vol-
ume of trade. Vessels are constantly
sailing for British ports, while a bark has

iust loaded at St. John for Australia, and
another for South America. Indications
point to a further advance in spruce dea's,

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,

Harvesting operations in Manitoba and
the Northwest are now engaging the at-
tention of farmers. The government crop
bulletin shows a most satisfactory yield,
and the first shipments of new wheat have
already been made. In anticipation of a
large demand for lumber by farmers this
fall, retail dealers are stocking up quite
liberally, as is shown by the large quantity
of stock that is being shipped from Win-
nipeg. Prices on lumber remain un-
changed, although lath has been advanced
50 cents per thousand. In British Co-
lumbia the mills are unable to fill all the
orders, the requirement for miming pur-
poses being very heavy. Over 1,000,000
feet of lumter is being used in the con-
struction of a flume in connection with the
Grand Forks smelter.

UNITED STATES,

The only change in the United States
market is a further hardening of wholesale
prices at eastern points. Dealers in the
Lake Erie markets have been unable to
accumulate stocks as rapidly as desired,
and consequently have decided to mark up
prices. This has also been necessary in
order to keep pace with the upward tenden-
cy at producing points. The advance in the
eastern markets has been most pronounced
on white pine. At Buffalo thick fine
common has advanced $5 within a short
time, while inch mill culls now sells at
$14.50. The advance in box averages
$1.50, 1X 4 now being quoted at $14 and
thick as high as $17.50. Inquiries for
lumber have been so numerous from the
east that many dealers are of the opinion
that it would be better to hold the stock
until the fall, when still higher prices are
expected to rule. Hemlock and spruce
have also improved, the former selling in
the New York market on a basis of $15
per thousand.

The course of the hardwood trade is
being watched with much interest. There
are some dealers who anticipate a reac-
tion, but the general opinion is that prices
will not weaken before next spring at any
rate, as the bulk of the consumption is
for manufacturing purposes, and _ this
branch of commerce 1s in a most healthy
condition. Ash is very scarce throughout
the eastern market, and implement manu-
facturers are substituting maple therefor.
The scarcity of elm and basswood con-
tinues.

review of the shingle market. Some of
the dealers report a large stock on hand,
while others have a very small supply and
are in the market to buy all they can find.
An advance of 15 cents over the July
price list is announced, which places 18-
inch at $3.85 and 16-inch at $3.40. Red
cedar shingles are selling about 20 cents
per thousand less than pine.

FOREIGN.

The imports into Great Britain from
Canada have been heavy of late, but from
the north of Europe ports the reverse is
the case, due to the extraordinaty posi-
tion of the freight market. A state of
things similar to that now existing has not
been known for years. Every class of
vessel has been called into requisition to
supply the demand, and the natural result
is high rates of freight. This has caused
a further strengthening of the lumber
market. Ata recent sale held by Chur-
chill & Sim, London, Eng., waney pine
timber sold at high values, but square
pine and birch planks scarcely realized
average quotations. Spruce deals are
experiencing a steady consumption. At
Manchester £7 2s 6d to £7 5s is being
asked for large lines ex ship, and there is
every prospect of a further increase in
price. Concerning the Liverpool market
a correspondent writes as follows: “The
spruce market is very stiff, and no signs
of relaxation are apparent up to the
present time; nor do we see why any
such hopes should be entertained. The
season for shipping from the St. Lawrence
ports is drawing to a close, and with it the
rates of freights and insurance will in-
crease. This serves to strengthen the
position of shippers.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
G. Elias & Bro., of Buffalo, are said to
be negotiating for the purchase of a hard-
wood limit in Canada.

The city of Toronto recently invited
tenders for the supply of a quantity of oak
and elm timber. Only one tender was
submitted, and the council have not yet
let the contract.

Prices at Philadelphia have advanced
within the past fortnight. Hemlock sells
at $14 to $14.50, 8 and 9 inch spruce at
$17 and $19, and 8 inch and under
boards, up to 20 feet, at $17.

The Bonny River Lumber Co., who re-
cently acquired the Todd property at
Bonny river, Charlotte county, N.B.,expect
to get out this winterabout 5,000,000feet of
logs. The mill, which has been idle for
some years, is now being repaired.

Very little lumber is on the wholesale
market at Duluth. A price of $9.25 is
said to have been refused for some No. 4
boards, but the greatest advance pertains
to lath. One year ago lath was selling in
the Duluth market at 75 cents and §1.
To-day quotations are $1.60 and §2.

A report from Ottawa, dated Aug. 21st,
stated that there were at the Cas~ades, on
the Gatineau river, about 15 miles from
Ottawa, the largest number of logs that
has ever been got together in one mass.
Owing to the lateness of the spring and
conse quent high water, the lumbermen of
the Gatineau could not start their run
until very recently. When they did start
they placed 240,000 logs in the river with-
in ten days, with the result that there
gathered at the foot of Little Cascade
rapids 130,000 saw logs, 70,000 railway
ties. 7,500 pieces of cedar, and 5,000 pieces
of timber. The logs were 25 tiers deep,
and beneath these runs the river at the
rate of 25 miles an hour. It is propcsed
to use dynamite to break this jam.

It was recently recorded that the
Saginaw Lumber & Salt Co. had pur-
chased 3,000,000 feet of Canadian logs
cut on exempted limits. Itis now learned

that the company has purchased 2,000,000
feet more, making a total of 5,000,000 feet
to be rafted to the Saginaw river this
season. The price paid for these logs
was the highest ever given for Canadian
logs.

Following is a comparative statement
of timber, &c., measured and culled at
Quebec to August 29th, 1899:

There promises to be great activity in
logging operations in the districts north of
Bobcaygeon and Lindsay. M. M. Boyd
& Co., of Bobcaygeon, will operate on
about the same scale as last year, and will
have one large camp on their Glamorgan
township limits. McCormack & McLeod
will have two gangs on Trout creek, Mus-
koka, and are already cutting cedar in
Haliburton county. The Dickson Co., of
Lakefield, will make a large cut on the
old Scott limits in Cavendish and An-
struther. The Gilmour Company have
sent a gang of men into Harvey township,
about eight miles from Bobcaygeon. It is
the intention to clean up this limit, taking
off all the pine, cedar, hemlock, birch and
elm. Turner & Fisher, of Saginaw, will
have jour camps in Muskoka and Geor-
gian Bay limits, and the Rathbun Com-
pany will operate extensive y in Muskoka
and Haliburton.

BRITISH COLUMBIA LUMBER SHIPMENTS.
The shipments of lumber from British Colum-
bia to foreign countries up to July 31st of this
year were as follows :

256d per foot of 9 x 3 for an assorted specifi-
cation.

OREGON PiINE.—Imports: Nil. The trade
having been well supplied out of the last cargo
per Hawaiian Isles, consequentiy there has
been but little business done in the past four
weeks. Some small sales have been concluded
at from £6 to £6 5s per 1000 feet super., upon
which basis the market is firm for the re-
mainder of supplies at the wharf. J

SHELVING AND CLEAR PINE.—Imports ;
Nil. £8 10s is now required for shelving, at
which figure some sales have been concluded.
Michigan clear pine is in poor demand at £14
10s per 1000 feet super.

THE AUSTRALIAN LUMBER MARKET.
Messrs. Fraser & Co., of Melbourne, in
their Jast monthly report, review the Aus-
tralian market as below :

Sales of timber during the past four weeks
have been of a moderaie character, f w im-
portant operations having been made from
stecks in the yard and ‘‘ex wharf.” In no
line, however, has there been a decline upon
last rates ; while in some instances slightly
better prices have been asked and secured,
and for several descriptions of lumber there
are indications of better value being shown at
no distant date. There are signs of an im-
provement in the demand from the country
districts when the spring season opens, also at
which time there will most probably bé an
increase in the town and suburban orders, as
many contracts for building requirements have
lately been arranged to commence operations
very shortly ; and as further local contracts
are now in view to be concluded within the
next few months, we are, therefore, hopeful of
seeing in the near future a much improved
demand for all classes of timber, and for an
actual consumption of the same.

THE SHINGLE SITUATION.

During the current season of constantly ad-
vancing prices, shingles of no kind have re-
sponded to increased values at any such rate as
have all kinds and qualities of lumber. The
explanation of this is that the immense con-
sumption of lumber throughout the country for
the year has been required more for manufac-

turing enterprises than for building operations.

It is not to be inferred from this that there
has not been a large demand for shingles
throughout the season The sales, says the
American Lumberman, have far outstripped
any former year. The Washington mills, with-

out one exception, are way behind their orders,
and it would doubtless be -impossible for an
eastern dealer, on a present order, to receive
shingles in time for his fall trade. The stocks
of pine shingles in the northwest are extremely
low, and those of white cedar probably not
more than one-half those of a year ago. New
Brunswick cedars coming into the eastern field
are in short supply. The same can be said of
Pennsylvania hemlock shingles and the cypress
shingles of the south.

In the face of the foregoing facts, it can safely
be prophesied that, shingles are a purchase at
current values, as it is almost certain that a
sharp advance in prices will be instituted
within a very short time.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Shipping of lumber from Ontario points
is quite brisk, giving evidence that the
fall trade has commenced to move. For
the next two months the demand on local
account 1s expected to be quite heavy,
as retail dealers and consumers hold
light stocks. While the British trade is
a little quiet at present, this has been
offset by unexpected orders from the
United States. Buyers are quite numer-

ous, and the tone of the market is de-
cidedly firm. Even at this early date
some consideration is being given to the
requirements of next year, and contracts
will no doubt be made for the cut of some
of the mills within the next few weeks.
The log production during the coming
winter will probably be heavy, although
it may be restricted on account of the
scarcity of labor and high wages. In the
Ottawa valley shantymen are being
offered as high as $28 per month, and
some operators report great difficulty in
securing men.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

There have been no important changes
in the Quebec trade during the past week.
A satisfactory business is doing, and mill
owners are by no means discouraged at
the outlook.
freight rates from the St. Lawrence and
from maritime province ports has taken
place. Deal rates from St. John to west
coast of England are now quoted at 50s,
while a charter is reported from Boston
to Buenos Ayres at $8.50 for lumber.
Most of the large New Brunswick lum-
bermen attended the sale of timber limits
held at Fredericton last week, but from
what can be learned it would seem that
an understanding had been arrived at not
to compete against each other. The lum-
ber shipments from St. John are quite
heavy. During July and August 54,-
875,000 superficial feet of deals, etc.,
cleared for British ports. This is an

A slight weakening in_

VANCOUVER or VICTORIA, B.C.

average of over 1,000,000 feet for each
working day. Inthe last two weeks the
exports to the United States were 2,-
387,000 feet of long lumber, 10,135,000
shingles, 6,190,000 lath, and 1,100 pieces
of piling. To Buenos Ayres went 1,-
704,000 feet of boards, etc.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Farmers are now busy with harvesting
operations and are buying very little
lumber. Retail dealers have put in quite
a heavy stock on the belief of a good fall
trade. Quotations for British Columbia
shingles have been advanced to $2.35 per
M for No. 1 stock. The mills in British
Columbia are still unable to handle all
the orders that are being placed. The
result is a slight hardening of prices,
although not to the extent that might be
expected.

UNITED STATES.

Lumber prices in the United States
continue to show an upward tendency.
Some of the eastern wholesalers seem to
fear that they may be advanced to such
a point as to check building operations,
in which case a break in the market might
take place. For this reason they are
watching developments with much _in-
terest. This view of the situation is by
no means the most general, as the ma-
jority of persons in the trade believe that
present prices will be maintained at least
for some time to come. Their opinions
are in part based upon the fact that in
the Upper Mississippi valley district,
covering about seventy-five mills, the
shortage of lumber in pile on August 15th,
as compared with that of one year ago,
was nearly 400,000,000 feet. The spruce
market, while not as firm as that of pine,
is in a very satisfactory condition, the
recent advance in the New England
territory having been maintained.

Substitutes for the high-priced hard-
woods are being sought for, but with
little success. Throughout. the Eastern
States one kind of hardwood lumber is
about as scarce as another, Maple is
being substituted as far as possible for

Il.

ash, which has been in great demand of
late.
FOREIGN.

Buyers in Great Britain have now
become convinced that, owing to in-
creased freight rates, the price of wood
goods to arrive this fall will be higher
than the shipments which came to hand
earlier in the season. There is, conse-
quently, a strong demand for lumber.
Some large transactions have lately taken
place in pine and spruce deals, and the
prices realized indicate quite clearly
that the market is a rising one. The
prices ruling now are fully 15s per
standard higher than those current last
spring. Pine deals are very firm. The
sale is reported of a quantity of the
Hawkesbury cut, first quality 3x II, 12
to 13 feet in length, at £25 I5s per
standard. Notwithstanding heavy re-
ceipts, spruce is also improving. 3x1I
in all qualities is scarce and commands
good prices, while a line of second quality,
12 to 13 feet, recently sold at £9 per
standard for 11 inch and £8 5s for 9 inch.
There is said to be a scarcity of sawn
spruce suitable for box making. An
active demand is reported at Glasgow
and other ports for red pine deals, which
are by no means plentiful.

SALE OF NEW BRUNSWICK TIMBER LIMITS.

According to announcement, a sale of the
unlicensed timber lands in the province of New
Brunswick took place at Fredericton on Wed-
nesday, August 30th. Thesale was advertised
to take place at 11 o’clock, but owing to some
dissatisfaction among the lumbermen as to the
manner in which the limits were offered, an ad-
journment was made until 2.30 p.m. In the
meantime the lumbermen held a meeting, the
result of which was that the government was
asked to cancel the sale, but to this they would
not agree. The lumbermen pointed out that
much of the land put up was of little value at
the present time, and would only be purchased
under pressure for the purpose of protecting
other lands under lease. The government, on
the other hand, argued that the lumbermen
should have presented their views at an earlier
date.

Mr. E. H. Allen officiated as auctioneer.
There was very little competition for the limits,

and few of them reached more than the upset

price of $8 per mile. Of the total 3,877.34
square miles, less than one-third, or 1,268%4

miles, were sold, the aggregate proceeds being
The
$123 per mile for a7%-

$24,290, an average of $20 per mile.
highest price paid was

This was purchased by J. J. F. Winslow.

BUFFALO AND TONAWANDA.
[Correspondence of the CANADA LuMBERMAN.]

It will not be necessary for me to announce
a boom in the lumber trade at this date, for our
dealers who cross the border bring back the re-
port that the prices are just as stiff there as they
are with us, which is quite enough tosay. The
market is more or less crazy and some of the
members of the irade are more than a little un-
easy over the situation. The fact is that they
consider prices to high. The actual value of
the material will not warrant $75 for quartered
white oak or $60 for thick white ash. Vet
these prices are not only obtained, but it is ex-
pected by everyone that still more will be paid
before the top is reached. It is there that the .
trouble comes in. What is to be done when
the price cannot be urged any further ? This
market is not to blame for the condition of
things, and the eastern consumer is, of course,
not to blame. It is the saw millman. He
saw the beginning of the boom last year in the
west and at once began to put up his prices.

CANADA LUMBERMAN

WEEKLY EDITION.

The demand from that direction, stimulated by
big crops, was so great that the producer was
so independent of the slower eastern demand
that he turned up his nose at us and-asked
prices that were away out of proportion of any-
thing that could be obtained in the east. The
east tried to hang back, but the result was that
it got no lumber, and when the boom in gen-
eral business set in there, it was necessary to
have lumber at some price, and so the demand
of the mills was met. Buffalo and Tonawanda
did not know what to do at the outset. To
join the western and southern mills was to see
a good deal of the eastern trade go by us to
the producer direct, and to cater to the low
price demanded east was to lose money when
there was so much money in the business ; so
a sort of middle course has been taken.

Still lumber is high here all the same. A
dealer mentions selling a lot within a few days
at prices $6 more than it would bring last fall,
and yet he is not so sure that he made as much
over the western asking prices as he would
have done then. It is common to get that
much advance.

The worst of it is that Canada is not going
to help us out to any extent in anything. Pine
dealers made a rush in that direction when the
prices.went up awhile ago, but they have not
obtained much comfort. The Canada price is
as high as ours. A dealer lately figured on a
large lot, but found that the price was about
$2 more than the home price, counting duty,
and he threw it up. He has since learned that
it was sold at the asking price.

The hardware dealers are still looking for
elm and black ash in Canada, but we are ship-
ping oak in that direction right along, though
probably not in large quantities.

There has never been such a feeling of ex-
hiliration in trade generally as there is to-day.
It does not go through all branches, for a long
period of over-production is holding a few in-
dustries, like flour milling, back as yet, but
lumber is as wildly panicky as iron or steel.

II,

There are those who are beginning to be scared
already. They do not look for a standstill
for a considerable time yet, never, in fact, till
a halt is called in sending steel and its manu-
factures abroad, but this pace is enough to
make the levelest head dizzy. It is predicted
that three years of this, with the enormous
produciton of silver and gold, will enable the
United States to finance the world. Nobody
thinks of boasting. This is the prospect, pure
and simple.

The local lumbermen are spending a good
deal of their time getting together and putting
up prices. Now it is white pine, now Norway,
and now shingles and lath. The price of lath
is up the stiffest, for it is fairly out of market in
spite of all effort to obtain it. The price is
now $3.25 for No. 1 white pine and $3 for
No. 1 Norway. The prices of shingles has
also been put up and is at present $4 for 18-in
xxxx and $3.55 for 16-inch same.

There is no such thing as getting ahead with
hardwood supply. A dealer said this week
that there was not a yard in Buffalo that was
increasing its stock, and this is the time when
the supply is supposed to run up if ever. Pine

is not very much more in evidence, and dealers
are wondering where their winter stock is com-
ing from. It is a strange condition of things.

Buffalo received 40,575,000 feet of lumber
and 34,829,000 shingles, and Tonawanda, both
ports, 57,030,000 feet of lumber and 100,000
shingles during August. This is an increase for
Buffalo, but a falling off for Tonawanda.

So much is crowding into the line of direct
business that there is hardly space for general
or personal mention. Dealers are watching
the situation with the keenest interest. They
know there is no danger, but it will not always
be so.

The death, on August 15th, of William H.
Gratwick, closed a most successful career in

the lumber business. When the Gratwick,
Smith & Fryer Company went out of business
some years ago, it was in the lead as producer
and seller in the east, and Mr. Gratwick has
always stood as high personally as did the firm
in business. He was 60 years old and lived in
Buffalo, though the company was established
in Tonawanda.
BUFFALO, September 4th, 1899.

On September 4th fire broke out in the
lumber yard of Price Bros. & Co., at Amqui,
Rimouski county, Que. Several million feet
of lumber is reported to have been destroyed,
together with seven buildings. The loss will
reach $75,000.

OO — ——
CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Lumber of all kinds is moving very
actively, without regard to grades. Ifone
grade is more inquired for thar. another, it
is mill culls in pine, for which there has
been an almost unprecedented demand
this year. To such an extent has this
been the case that the yards are actually
cleared of dry stock. Where the supply
for the late fall and winter trade is to come
from is a question which is giving dealers
and consumers some concern, particu-
larly as buying for the United States
market is now being done very freely.
Even Michigan dealers have visited
Georgian Bay points in search of stock.
The hardwood trade occupies a position
guite as strong as that of pine. There
has been no slackening in the demand
during the past week and no material
change in prices.

That commodity to which dealers are
giving most attention at the present time
is lath. Almost instantly it has been
discovered that there is a great shortage
in the pine lath supply of the United
States, and buyers have endeavored to
augment their stock from Canadian mills.
In this they have in some measure been
successful. Within the past two weeks
several car loads of lath have been pur-
chased in Ontario and shipped to Mis-
sourl and Kansas, costing laid down
there about $5 per thousand. This in-
stance alone illustrates the strength of
the lath market.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Prices for Quebec timber remain un-
changed, excepting birch of 18-inch aver-
age, which is now quoted at 27 to 30

VANCOUVER or VICTORIA, B.C.

cents per cubic foot. There has arrived
at Quebec so far this year, in comparison
with last year, about the same quantity
of waney pine, but only about one-half the
quantity of square pine. The deal market
is strengthening, and manufacturers who
have stock for sale are asking advanced
prices, but the high freight rates are re-
tarding business both in Quebec and New
Brunswick. Lumber orders to the River
Platte are quite freely offered, but tonnage
is scarce at the figures submitted by ship-
pers. The latter offer $10.50 from out-
ports in the provinces to Buenos Ayres,
$9.50 from Portland, and $9 from Boston.

UNITED STATES.

About the only change in the United
States lumber market is a disposition on
the part of dealers to postpone buying
more than for immediate requirements.
There ts a feeling that prices have reached
the top notch, and that nothing can be
lost by waiting, while there is a chance
that some graces of lumber will weaken
during the winter months, to advance to
the present basis again in the spring.
The only danger in adopting this course
is that dealers may be unable to locate
the stock when they are ready to buy.
From present indications there will be a
lumber famime on a small scale be-
fore the spring of 1900 is reached. Deal-
ers 10 the Eastern States are much _in-
terested in the freight rate situation.
Vessels are very scarce, and rates have
advanced so that the lowest figure from
Lake Superior points to Lake Erie ports
is $3.25, with quotations being made as
high as $4. This condition is likely to
reduce the quantity of white pine which
will find its way to the eastern trade,

Il.

CANADA LUMBERMAN

WEEKLY EDITION.

and as a result dealers are turning their
attention to Canada in the hope of aug-
menting their stock from this quarter.
Low grade stock continues to show the
greatest degree of strength, and Theis
almost impossible to name a market
price for box stuff. A correspondent in
Michigan explains the situation in these
“High prices for. logs, high
freights, and good old Republican times
make our business the best we have
had for the past seven years.” Prices
at Michigan producing points have now
reached almost the highest mark ever
known, as will be observed by reference
to our quotations on page 4. Even $15
is being paid for box lumber, which is
an advance of $5 per thousand since
last spring.

The hardwood market has not changed,
there being no visible falling off in the
demand. White and brown ash is quoted
at Boston at $42 to $45, quartered white
oak at $70 to $72, and thick oak at
$72.50 to $76. Elm and maple meet
with ready sale at advanced quotations.

words ;:

FOREIGN.

The difficulty in securing tonnage is
strengthening the British timber market.
Prices of lumber generally are improvirg,
although Canadian pine does not seem
to participate in the improvement to the
extent it should. The Timber Trades
Journal believes that this is due to in-
ferior shipments, coupled with the inordi-
nate quantities of oddments in pine speci-
fications, which has disorganized values.

From what can be learned, however,
pine deals are likely to advance consider-
ably in the near future. At London Que-
bec pine deals of first quality are selling
at {£20 to £24 per standard, second
quality at £15 ros to £16 Ios, and third
quality at £9to £9 tos. There continues
to be a steady improvement in spruce
deals and planks. The railway contract-
ors have now entered the market and are
purchasing large quantities of first, second
and third quality. Sales are reported at
£10 for 9 inch first quality deals, £8 ros
for second quality, and £7 15s for third
quality. These prices are for the Quebec
production, New Brunswick deals being
quoted at slightly lower figures.

There is a good demand for square and
waney pine timber of first-class quality,
but the stock of second quality 1s suffi-
cient to meet immediate requirements.
Elm and birch timber are strong, the
former selling at 2s 4d to 2s 6d for first
class of 40 to 45 feet average. Ash
timber is firm and the stock light. Red
pine deals are low in stock and wanted.

EN

THE SHINGLE AND LATH MARKET.

There is a scarcity of shingles and lath
throughout the Eastern States. Buffalo dealers
have recently issued a new price list, making a
30 cent advance upon the former price, quota-
tions now being as follows :

WuitEe Ping.—18 inch XXXX, $4; 18
inch clear butts, $3.75 ; 18 inch sound butts,
$1.80; 16 inch, XXXX, $3.55 ; 16inch extra
*A*s, $2.75; 16inch *A*s, $2.70; 16 inch
XX, $2.65 ; 16 inch 6 inch sapy clear butts,
$2.30; 16 inch sound butts, $1.80; 16 inch
culls, $1.55.

CEDAR.—18 inch XXXX, $3.70; 18 inch
clear butts, $2.85 ; 16 inch XXX, $3.10; 16
inch extra *A*s, $2.70; 16 inch *A*s, $2.45;

16 inch clear butts, $2.20; 16 inch culls,
$1.55-
At Saginaw there has been a remarkable

advance in Jath, No. 1 white pine being now
held at $3.50 and No. 2 at $3, against $2 and
$1.50 as the prevailing price six months ago.
At Buffalo lath is now quoted at $3.25 for No.
1 white pine, both 1 and 1% inch. Cedar
shingles are not as much inquired for as one
month ago, the price at Boston being $3.10
for extra quality.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
The vessel Johnson sailed last week
from Little Curent, Ont., for Chicago,
with 600,000 feet of lumber.

The barque Reform sailed last week
from Y..inouth, N.S., for Buenos Ayres,
with avout 700,000 feet of lumber.

‘Lhe barque Walter G., sailed last week
from St. John. N.B., for Buenos Ayres,
with a cargo of lumber, shipped by A.
Cushing & Co.

The Turner Lumber Co. are engaging
a large number of men to go to the
lumber woods. Their lim‘ts are in the
Parry Sound district.

David Sword, of Christie, has been
given a contract by the Parry Sound
Lumber Co. to get out 3,000,000 feet of
logs during the coming winter.

R. Connolly, of Eau Claire, Nipissing
district, has put in a logging camp on the
Little Sturgeon river. He expects to
make a larger cut than last year.

The schooner C. J. Woods is now
loading props at Ganges Harbor, B.C.,
for Santa Rosalia, on account of a Mexi-
can firm. The schooner is capable of
carrying 900,000 superficial feet of lum-
ber.

The Giimour Co., of Trenton, Ont., are
taking a considerable quantity of timber
from their limits in Harvey and Galwey
townships. It is reported that the com-
pany will cut the logs at Pigeon lake, but
the report is not confirmed.

In the Saginaw valley common log
run pine is held at $16 to $18, and good
log run at $20 to $24. Norway piece
stuff is scarce and sells at $12 to $14
for short lengths and up to $18 for long
stuff. Mill culls are quoted at $12.

J. Dewar & Son, of St. George, N.B.,
are reported to have purchased 25,000
acres of timber lands, with a wharf
privilege, from Daniel Gilmore. The
limits have not been cut over for many
years, and are said to contain some ex-
cellent timber. Messrs. Dewar expect to
cut about 5,000,000 feet of logs on the
property th:s winter.

Hardwood, of Chicago, reports that
the Lutcher & Moore Lumber Co., of
Orange, Texas, is about to close a con-
tract with the British government for
500,000,000 feet of yellow pine lumber.
The contract calls for the delivery of the
lumber at gulf ports, and the impression
is that part of it is intended for South
Africa and part for the British West
Indies. Should the report prove correct,
it will take all the mills of Texas a year
to cut the lumber for this contract.

WESTERN CANADA EDITION.

The publishers of the CANADA LUMBERMAN
are completing arrangements for the publica-
tion, about the Ist of October next, of a special
number, to be known as the Western Canada
Edition, and to be devoted particularly
to the lumber interests of Manitoba, the
Northwest Territories and British Columbia,
and to the export lumber trade of this part of
Canada. It isthe purpose to place a copy of
this number in the hands of every saw mill
owner, retail dealer and wood-worker in
Western Canada, and also to distribute a ‘large
number of copies amongst the timber importers
and others interested in Great Britain, South
America, China, Japan, South Africa and
Australia, to which countries British Columbia
timber products are exported. By this means
it is sought to better acquaint foreign con-
sumers with the timber resources of our western
provinces, and with the possibilities of obtain-
ing supplies in Canada. There are many
manufacturers in the Dominion who are in-
terested in supplying the lumber requirement
of the countries named. To these the oppor-
tunity is given of being represented in this
number. Information regarding prices for

advertisements will be gladly furnished upon
application.

OvER $430,002 REALIZED FOR Four PARCELS.

As announced in the CANADA LUMBERMAN,
the sale of timber limits belonging to the late

officiated as auctioneer. There wasa large at-
tendance of lumbermen, including Thos. Pitts,

and Alex. Barnett, Renfrew ; C. McLachlin,
Arnprior ; M. Quinn and Hon, Peter White,
Pembroke, and many other Ottawa Valley
lumbermen.

The bidding for the limits was quite keen,
the result being that for 13734 square miles
there were realized over $430,000.

Parcel No. 1 proved the greatest attraction.
It comprised berth No. $2 on the north
shore of Lake Huron, an area of 36 square
miles. The buyer was Mr. Thos. Pitts, of
Bay City, Mich., at the price of $315,000.

Parcel No. 2, being berths 2, 3 and 4 in
the township of Butt, contiguous to the line of
the Ottawa, Arnprior and Parry Sound rail-
way, containing 13}, 12 and 11% miles re-
spectively, was sold to Mr. John R. Booth for
$75,00c0.

Parcel No. 3, berths 136 and 137 on the
Serpent river, area 36 miles each, was sold to
Mr. John Charlton, M. P., for $30,000. Con-
siderable timber has been cut on these limits,
but there is still a considerable quantity stand-
ing. ;

Mr. Arthur White, divisional freight agent
of the C.P.R., has sent out the following
official circular announcing an advance in
lumber freight rates: ‘‘I beg to advise
you that, commencing on November 15th,
an advance will be made in lumber, forest
products and cordwood local tariffs of
one-half cent per 100 Ibs. I thought it better
to give you this early information, although,
after the consultation I had with the lumber-
men generally last spring, it will, no doubt,
be borne in mind that after we compromised
on the advance of one-half cent. per 100 lbs.,
I very clearly led: everyone to feel that an
increase of one cent per 100 tbs, should
have been made in May, but acting under the
advice of the gentlemen who composed the
lumbermen’s committee, we only advanced
the rates one-half cent in order ndt to hamper
the then expanding trade, until it had become
clearly established that the improvement in
the lumber business was likely to be of a per-
manent nature for some time to come, and
this is certainly now the case. We shall drop
the hardwood column from our tariff G.N. 14
altogether.”

THE GLASGOW MARKET.

The following particulars of the Glasgow
timber trade are given in the monthly market
report of Allison, Cousland & Co., dated
September 2nd :

There has been a marked improvement in
business during the past month. Imports have
been very moderate. Buyers are now practi-
cally convinced that the market is steadily
rising ; good sales have been made ex quay,
and yarded stocks are now being rapidly re-
duced. Prices are very firm, and there is no
inclination on the part of sellers to force any
class of goods Provided trade continues in
the satisfactory condition it is at present, the
prospects of higher prices are very bright, as
there will be a decided scarcity in some items.

Waney Wuite Pine.—There has been a
better inquiry, and prices for ist class wood
are firm. 2nd class wood is gradually being
worked off, although prices are still low.
Quotations—tst class, 19 to 20 inches average,
- 6d to 2s9d. 2nd class, 15d to 2s per cu.
t.

SQUARE PINE.—Very little business is re-
ported, the demand being limited, and the
stock consisting mostly of wood of small aver-
age. ;

RED PiInE.—There is little enquiry except
for wood of large average girth.

E_M.—The demand has been exceptionally
brisk, and prices are very firm. Ist class wood,
45 to 50 ft. average, is quoted at 2s 4d to 2s
6d ; 2nd class at 2s per c. ft.

Oak.—The import has been considerable,
and very little business has been done outside
of railway requirements.

AsH. —Stocks are light, and prices for fair
sized wood are very firm at 23d to 2s per. c.ft.

Brrcu.—The stock is normal, and for the
most part in consumers’ hands.

QUEBEC DEALS, BATIENS AND BOARDs. —
Imports, with the exception of spruce, are con-
siderably lighter than last year, and prices are
advancing all round.

PINE. —Firsts.—There has been a good de-
mand for Ist deals of all sizes, and prices are
firmer. Broad are quoted at £24 15s to £25
8s od. Undersized, £17 3s 9d to £19 Ss per
St. Pet. std. Seconds are seldom enquired
for. Broad deals are quoted at £17 17s 6d to
419 5s. Undersized, £13 15s to £14 8s od
per St. Pet. std. Thirds.—Regulars continue
in good demand, but undersized are seemingly
not wanted. Quotations—Regulars, £9 12s
6d to £10 6s3d. Undersized, £7 11s 3d to
48 5s per St. Pet. std. Fourths,—Prices have
improved, and are now firmly held at £7 7s
od to £7 Its 3d for regulars. Undersized,
46 10s 7d to £6 17s 6d per St. Pet. std.

ments are readily disposed of at good prices.

ward tendency. Quotations.—£6 10s 7d to
47 11s 3d per St. Pet. std.

proved considerably. Quotations. —£6 10s 9d
to £8 11s 10d per St. Pet. std.

N. B. Sprucr.—Business is active, and
prices firm. Long lengths of 9 and 11 inch

THE LATH MARKET,

Although a considerable quantity of lath
has been purchased during the past week, the
demand does not seem to have moderated.
It is said that $4 is not an extradordinary
price for No, 1 white pine lath at Chicago,
while No. 2 white pine and No, 1 hemlock
and Norway has been sold at Duluth as high
as $3.75. This isan advance of over 200 per

At Buffalo white pine lath sells about $3.25,
although one firm is said to be asking $4.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

What has been said in previous issues
regarding the prosperous condition of the
lumber trade of Ontario is equally applic-
able at the present time. The mills are
busy with orders, have little stock in pile,
and many of them sold largely in ad-
vance. On local account an increased
volume of business has been done during
the past week, indicating that the fall
trade has commenced to move. The
number of inquiries from the United
States indicates that trade in that direc-
tion is also expanding, and altogether a
further hardening of prices is looked for.
Two Michigan dealers last week visiteda
Georgian Bay mill for the purpose of
purchasing 8,000,000 feet of boards, but
when they arrived they found that 5,000,-
ooo feet of the stock had in the meanttme
been sold for the Buffalo and Tonawanda
markets. The balance of 3,000,000 feet
was purchased at a price said to be in the
vicinity of $16 per thousand. This is an
indication of the urgency of the demand.
There is a very strong enquiry for common
and cull lumber, which has steadily risen
In price, but in the higher grades, which
are always saleable, the advance has not
been so marked. In the Ottawa Valley
prices have advanced about $2 per thous-
and within the past few weeks. Good
sidings are now quoted at $32 to $40, good
strips at $25 to $30, No. 1 dressed sidings
at $17 to $24, and strips at $16 to $18.
Lath has made an advance of from 15 to
25 cents, quotations being $1.35 to $1.50
for No, 1, and $1 to $1.10 for No. 2.
Shingles are good stock and find ready
sale.

& INVESTMENT AGENCY, Limited,

VANCOUVER or VICTORIA, B.C.

A large local consumption of hard-
woods has prevented any weakening in
prices. In the Wiarton district rock elm
is being sold at $20, soft elm, common and
better, at $14, and maple of same grade
at $15, and at these prices there is very
little stock to be had. It is improbable
that prices will show any material de-
preciation during the fall or early winter,
although a large output of logs next
winter might have the effect of lowering
prices.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The high freight rates are likely to re-
sult in reducing late fall shipments of
Jumber from the St. Lawrence and mari-
time province ports. Ship owners are
now asking 52s. 6d. from St. John to east
coast Ireland and west coast England,
but shippers are reluctant to advance their
ideas above 50s. It 1s not believed, how-
ever, that there is any great quantity of
stock yet to go forward to the British
market, and shippers are not likely to be
seriously handicapped by the higher rates.
Considerable lumber is finding a market
in the United States and in South Ameri-
ca, several cargoes having gone forward

to the latter country within the past
month.

The lumber operators are making pre-
parations for their winter’s workin the
woods. In view of the position of the
wood markets of the world generally, it
is probable that the cut this winter will be
slightly larger than for several seasons
past. Wages this year are from $18 to
$20 per month, while last season the
average was about $16,

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The mills supplying lumber to Mani-
toba and the Northwest Territories are
said to be now behind with orders. The

UM

CANADA LUMBERMAN

farmers are just finishing harvesting op-
erations, and the fall demand for lumber
has only commenced. With a scarcity at
the present time, it is to be expected that
prices will advance in the near future. It
is understood, however, that retail dealers
are carrying quite liberal stocks, in the
expectation of a brisk fall trade. The
Rat Portage Lumber Co. are reported to
have sold 6,000,000 feet of lumber within
the past two months. Building and min-
ing operations in British Columbia are
moving very freely, calling for a large
quantity of material. A few days agoa
meeting of the saw mill men in the interior
of southern British Columbia was held to
discuss the amalgamation of the mills.
This was not effected, however, although
there is some prospect of it being accom-
plished in the near future.

UNITED STATES.

A firm market and somewhat weaker
demand explains the condition of the
white pine trade cf the United States.
Prices have now reached a point where
retail dealers and consumers refuse to
buy except for immediate requirements.
They believe that prices will go no
higher. On the other hand, there are
some who predict that before the open-
ing of navigation next spring there will
be a famine in white pine lumber.
Another condition which has checked the
demand is the most unprecedented high
freight rates. From Duluth to Lake
Erie points the rate is now $4, the re-
sult being that no sales can be made to
the eastern trade for this year’s delivery.
From the above remarks it must not be
premised that prices show any tendency
to weaken. Dealers in the Buffalo and
Tonawanda markets report prices as very
firm, with a prospect of a further ad-
vance. From the Saginaw valley comes
the same report. In that district mill
culls are selling at from $12 to $14, and
log run at from $16 to $24. Spruce
lumber is selling readily at recent quo-
tations, $17 being paid for frames.

The hardwood market displays many
elements of strength. Every variety is
in short supply, while there does not
seem to be any abatement in the de-
mand. At Buffalo sales of cull elm and
basswood have been made at $17, and
thick elm is quoted at $32. A sale of
low grade logs for boxes is reported,
which 1s another indication of the scarcity
of ordinary box lumber.

FOREIGN.

The position of foreign markets gener-
ally is satisfactory. From Great Britain
comes the report of a steadily increasing
demand and a tendency towards higher
prices. Spruce deals particularly are im-
proving, and sales of large cargoes have
been made at 4615s c.1.f. London and
Liverpool. Atthe latter port there was
received during the month of August
21,211 standards, the deliveries being 22,-
252 standards, or upwards of one thousand
standards in excess of receipts. The
packing case makers are very busy, and
building operations in the. cheaper class
of houses, in the construction of which
spruce deals and battens enter so largely,
have not been so active for some time.

The advance in pine referred to in
former reports has been maintained, the
high rates of freight contributing in some
measure to thisend. The stock of wood
goods in London docks this year shows a
shortage of about 18,000 standards, the
exact figures being 17,339,119 pieces,
against 18,014,260 pieces in 1898. All
classes of goods, with the single exception
of flooring, is in lighter stock than last
year.

In timber, birch, either in the log or
plank, is very scarce, the stock at Liver-
pool at end of August being only 150,000
feet, as compared with 314,000 feet in
August, 1898. In view of this condition
an increase in price is looked for.

The trouble in South Africa does not
appear to have any influence on the wood
trade of Great Britain. Merchants there
are buying all they can of stock on which
the South African demand might have
some effect, and it is only in respect to
next year’s business that the question is
brought under consideration at all.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

Mill culls are selling at $1c a thousand
at Ashland, Wis., No. 3 boards at $11.50,
and No. 2 boards, 6, 8, 10 and 12 feet, at
$13 to $13 50.

The ship Guilia R sailed from St. John,
N.B., last week for Marseilles, France,
with 1,168,157 feet of deals, shipped by
W. M. Mackay.

Wm. Allen, of Perth, Ont., has pur-
chased the Muirhead property in Beck-
with township, and will take out about
1,000,000 feet of logs this winter.

At Midland, Ont., the schooner Geo.
Westley loaded lumber last week for Bay
City, the United Lumberman for Tona-
wanda, and the Ellen Murton for Buffalo.

J. L. Reaume & Co., of Essex, Ont.,
have bought the timber on lots 14 and 15,
of the 14th concession of Colchester
North, also that on a 50 acre berth and a
30 acre berth in Maidstone.

The Hull Lumber Co., of Hull, Que.,
again started their mill last week, which
had been shut down for a fortnight owing
to scarcity of logs. The company have
now 150,000 logs floating down the river.

The R. Laidlaw Lumber Co. are hand-
ling a considerable quantity of Canadian
pine through their Buffalo yard. The
businsss card of this firm, whose head
office is in Toronto, appears in this issue.

The Dominion government is about to
construct a telegraph line from Dig Rou-
maine, Que., to a point in Labrador, a dis-
tance of 315 miles. The contract for supply-
ing thenecessary poles has been given to C.
J. Bickerdike, of Montreal.

Lumbering operations in the vicinity of
Owen Sound are very brisk. Maitland,
Rixon & Co. estimate their cut this year
at between 4 and 5 million feet. Pickard
& Rowan will cut over 2,000,000 fee!,
Henry Pedwell 1,500,000 feet, and es.
Findlay 3,000,000 feet.

Pelton & Reid, of Cheboygan, Mich.,
have just received a raft of Canadian
logs coniaining about 4,000,000 feet. They
have still two other rafts on the Georgian
Bay, but having all the logs they can cut
this season, will not take them over to
Michigan until next spring.

In this issue Messrs. Geo. Perry & Co.,
packing case manufacturers, Dublin, Ire-
land, ask for quotations for the supply of
poplar, cottonwood, beech or white pine
timber. If suitable for their requirements,
as regards price and quality, they are pre-
pared to purchase very large quantities.

The C. Beck Manufacturing Co., of Pene-
tanguishene, have three camps in the
woods, and will make a large cut during
the coming winter. The Holland &
Emery Co., Byng Inlet, have two camps
in, and will putin others. Pelton & Reid,
of Cheboygan, Mich., have one camp on
the Indian Reserve.

At arecent sale held by Foy, Morgan

Homan & Puddington, in their circular
of September 9th, review the New York
lumber market as follows: ‘‘ During the
last week several cargoes of spruce ran-
doms were sold on our market at good
prices. Demand is good and likely to be
better. We quote 10 and 12 inch at $18
to $19 ; 9, 1oand 12 inch, $17 to $18 ; 6,
7 and 8 inch, $15 to $16.50; and scantling,
2x4 and 2x 4, Io to 20 feet long, $14.50
to $15. Laths have had quite a flurry—

WEEKLY EDITION.

SEPTEMBER 20, 1899

Se EEE

about 15,000,000 came in, and about
all sold at all kinds of prices, ranging
from $2.25 to $2.75, but $2.50 is the cargo
price at which bulk of receipts were sold
for. We think present prices can be keld
for balance of season, unless shipments
are greatly increased.”

The result of the action of the pro-
vincial legislature in prohibiting the ex-
portation of saw logs has been to revive
the lumber industry in the Parry Sound
district. Camps are already in operation
in many sections. It is said that the
Parry Sound Lumber Co. will take out
25,000,000 feet, of which 10,000,000 feet
has already been contracted for. The
company will put in two camps at Deep
Bay and Blind Bay, both in the township
of Carling. In addition to these two
camps, the company will let contracts to
a number of jobbers. Wm. Peters has
four camps in operation, two in Christie
township and two in Spence. He will
take out about 20,000,000 feet of logs.
The Conger Lumber Co. have two camps
in operation in Conger township, employ-
ing about 130 men. Their cut has been
placed at 11,000.00 feet of logs.

It is a little early yet, says the Frederic-
ton Gleaner, to make a definite estimate
as to the cut this coming season upon the
St. John river in New Brunswick, but the
following may be considered a pretty
accurate forecast of the amount to be cut
upon the upper St. John river: W. J.
Nobles and Robt. Nobles, for Cushing,
to to [2 million feet ; Guy McCallum, for
C. F. Woodman, 5 to 6 million; John
Kilburn, for W. H. Murray, 8 to Io mil-
lion; Silas Dickie, for Stetson, 5 to 6
million ; John Stévens, for E, L. Jewett,
2% to 3 million; J. A. Morrison, 3% to
4 million ; Cunliff & Sons, 7 to 8 million ;
Neil McLean, 3 to 4 million; John R.
McConnell, for Ashland Lumber Co., 10
to 12 million; F. H. Hale, 8 to 10 million;

MANY REPLIES.

Mr. Silas H. Jacobs, saw miller, of Hunts-
ville, Ont., gives his opinion of the WEEKLY
LUMBERMAN as an advertising medium in
these words: ‘‘I was flooded with letters in
answer to the advertisement I placed in THE
LUMBERMAN.” No better proof is wanted
that the advertising pages are carefully read.

BUSINESS NOTES.

W. Barrill, sash and door manufacturer,
Montreal, is reported to have filed consent of
assignment.

On September 7th the lumber and coal yards
of the John W. Young & Sons Co., at White
Plains, N. Y., was sold by auction, the pur-
chaser being N. M. Smith, of New York, and
and the purchase price $32,700. The lumber
and yard of the same company at Tuckahoe,
N. Y., was sold to Chas. Dusenberry, jr., for
$12,250.

The saw mill of Robert Prestly, at Ashton,
Ont., together with the lumber yard, was
completely destroyed by fire on September
11th. The loss is estimated at $18,000, with
no insurance.

re S
CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.

ONTARIO,

Beyond an increase in the number of
inquiries for shingles and lath, the lumber
market has not changed since last issue.
Pine stocks of all grades are being con-
tracted for, and before the sawing season
of 1900 shall open, there will be very little
stock in the hands of manufacturers. This
opinion, now common, is causing oper-
ators to direct their efforts towards secur-
ing a large production of logs this winter.
The Georgian Bay mills will be operated
to their full capacity next season, and it is
possible that new mills will be erected by
Michigan lumbermen owning limits on
the Georgian Bay. A report from Sagi-
naw states that many of the Michigan
lumbermen are making arrangements to
put in camps on their limits in Ontario,
and if not allowed to export the logs, will
manufacture them on this side. The
Central Lumber Co, have already sent
men to the Blind river, notwithstanding
that they now have about 10,000,000 feet
of logs stored on the river.

Some of the hardwood mills are closing
down for the season, having cut their
supply of logs and disposed of their pro-
duction. Dealers report that there is
actually no hardwood lumber of any ac-
count to be purchased.

VANCOUVER or VICTORIA, B.C

rp

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The high freight rates from Canadian
ports have had an effect upon lumber
chartering, and it is probable that some
goods intended to be shipped this fall
will be held over for spring shipment.
The insurance rate is now equal to about
Ios per standard, and at present prices
for lumber it is almost impossible to pay
this, together with other charges, and
make a reasonable profit. There is a
considerable quantity of lumber which
must go forward from the St. Lawrence
during October, and this will engage the
attention of shippers almost exclusively
for the balance of the season. Local
trade in Quebec is rather quiet, but some
shipments are being made to the Eastern
States. In New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia the trade is in a prosperous condi-
tion. More than the usual number of
vessels have loaded at Nova Scotia ports
for South America, and last week a cargo
of lumber was shipped from St. John to
Australia. In another column will be
found the figures showing shipments of
lumber from the port of Miramichi up to
August 31st. It will be seen that all
classes of lumber compare favorably in
quantity with the shipments of last year.
The total shipments from the province,
however, have been considerably heavier
this season, as last year more vessels lum-
ber laden sailed from Miramichi than for
several years previous, while the ship-
ments from St. John and from the pro-
vincial ports generally showed a sub-
stantial falling off as compared with
previous years. There is some Jumber
yet to forward to Great Britain, but the
quantity is not large.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Reports from Manitoba, the Territories
and British Columbia tell of a steadily
increasing trade in Inmber and of difficulty
in keeping pace with orders. In addition
to large building operations, there are
under construction in the province of
Manitoba over three hundred miles of
railway, which is consuming a large

ut:

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

quantity of material. The only change in
prices is an advance of Io cents per
thousand on all thicknesses of British
Columbia shingles. The demand this
season has been heavy, and the manu-
facturers felt that with the increased cost
of shingle bolts, the conditions warranted
the advance made.

UNITED STATES.

For the first week for several months
no advance in the price of lumber has
beer made in any market. While some
grades of lumber may advance during
the winter months, the general opinion
is opposed to a further advance at the
present time. The movement of lumber

from the upper lakes to the Eastern .

States has been restricted on account of
high freights, $4 being the ruling quota-
tion from Duluth to Buffalo and Tona-
wanda. At Buffalo there is a continued
scarcity of all grades of cutting up pine,
while mill culls sell at the exceptional
figure of $15.50. The lath trade is im-
proving, and dealers are selling plenty
of stock at $3.90 for 13-inch No. I
white pine, $3.75 foc mixed No. 1 and
No. 2, and $3.50 for straight No. 2.
Inch sells at $3.75. The stock of hard-
woods has practically passed out of first
hands, and, judging from present indica-
tions, there will be a shortage for manu-
facturing purposes.

FOREIGN.

As the autumn approaches the lumber
market in Great Britain shows an upward
tendency. Prices are strengthening, and
holders of stock report a heavy demand.
All advices are to the effect that spruce
prices are likely to go considerably higher,
and that there is a scarcity of that lumber.
St. John deals are selling in the Liver-
pool market at about £6 15s c.i.f., but as
high as £7 has been paid at the out-ports.
At London several sales of third quality
spruce have been made at 5s to Ios
advance upon earlier contracts. Pine
deals are slightly stronger, but for some
reason the improvement in these bears
little relation to that which has taken
place in spruce. It may be expected,
however, that owing to high freight rates
prices will harden considerably in the
near future. In Scotland Canadian goods
are becoming more in favor. A cargo of
Quebec red pine deals, 9 x 4, is reported
to have been sold at Glasgow at 18d per
cubic foot, while some 7,000 spruce deals,
9x 11x3, have been contracted for at
Greenock at £8 8s per standard.

An improved demand is reported from
Australia. This country was a few years
ago a large consumer of Pacific coast
lumber, and from present indications a
large volume of trade may be expected
from that quarter in the near future.
From South America comes the report
of renewed activity in building and an
increased consumption of lumber.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

Writing under date of September 9th,
Messrs. Douglas L. White & Co., of
Albany, N. Y., say : We enclose quota-
tions as adopted at a meeting of dealers
held this week. A further advance may
be looked for before close of season on
account of the scarcity of boats and cars
and advanced freight. To cover cost of
replacing stocks at prevent high prices
and high freights at Western and Canadian
mills, advanced prices are necessary. The
increased consumption and urgent de-
mand for lower grades of pine and spruce
for immediate delivery present any accu-
mulation of stocks, and advanced prices of
the better grades arerequired toreplace old
stocks. The difficulty of moving lumber
from Michigan and Canada is increasing
all the time, owing to the rush in shipments
of pulp, ores, iron and all products.

The lumber market at Boston has not
changed since last issue. Spruce and
hemlock are firm, and spruce shingles are

BRITISH COLUMBIA SHINGLES.

The British Columbia Shingle Manufactur-
ers’ Association have issued a new price list on
red cedar shingles, making an advance of 19
cents per thousand on No. 1 quality. The
quotations delivered to dealers in Ontario are
as follows: No. 1 shingles, six butts to two
inches, $2.65 ; No. 2, five inch clear, $2.25 ;
No. 1, six butts to 233, inches, $2.80 ; No. i
five butts to two inches, $3.05. For plain
dimension shingles add to above prices 50
cents, and for fancy butts $1.

—————

SCARCITY OF COOPERAGE STOCK.
As the season advances the scarcity of cooper-

than $7.25. We should say that $7.25 is
the market price in Minneapolis at the present
time, but it is a question if there will be many
sellers at this figure. While the coopers claim
they can obtain elm hoops at $6.75 to $7, we
believe that $7.50 is about the market price
for hoops at Minneapolis. These figures also
apply to the head of the lakes.

“* The eastern trade has brightened up very
much of late, the demand for apple barrel ma-
terial being very heavy. Apple barrel staves
are quoted at Buffalo from $5.75 ro $6, $6
being about the market price for small lots,
and $5.75 for carload lots.

** Patent coiled elm hoops have gone almost
out of sight on the eastern market, $8.50 to $9

being the price of 6 foot hoops at Buffalo, with
other sizes in proportion.

“* Heading has also taken an advance on the
eastern market 4c. per set, and the only
trouble is to supply the coopers with all the
stock they want. It is difficult to say to what
price hoops will go this season. We should
not be surprised to see 6 foot hoops at $10, on
the basis of Buffalo prices. Apple barrel staves
are getting scarce, as the quantity manufactured
was only very small, and they are likely to go
very much higher in price.

“The market at the present time is a rising
one on all classes of cooperage material in the
slack barrel line, and it is a question where the
prices will go before the end of the season, as

manufacturers are very cautious about selling
anything ahead at present, as they are doubtful
about being able to get the stock to fill orders
for future delivery.”

FIRES.

The shingle mil] of Alexander Johnson, near
Cloverdale, B.C., is reported to have been
destroyed by fire.

burned a few days ago. The mill contained a
rotary saw and a complete equipment of plan-
ing and moulding machinery. It was owned by
Mr. Sydney Wood, who will probably rebuild.

age stock becomes more apparent. Writing
of the prevailing conditions in the United
States and Canada, the Sutherland-Innes Com-
pany, of Chatham, say :

“The millmen have not been able to get ina
supply of logs during the summer months for
to keep their mills running. The consequence
is that the majority of the mills are closed
down for lack of raw material, and their stecks
of manufactured material have almost entirely
vanished.

“In the Northwest the prices on staves and
hoops have advanced considerably during this
month. While the price on No. 1 elm staves
is nominally $7 per net M f.0.b. cars Minnea-
polis, we know of $7.15 per net M having been
refused for No. 1 2814 inch staves during this
week. The buyers were willing to pay $7.15,
but the sellers were not willing to sell at less

NEW RRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINLGES.

Cedar shingles are growing scarce at pro-
ducing points, many of the manufacturers being
out of logs and closed down until next spring.
The close of the sawing season has left only
small stocks at the mills, as the demand has
practically taken care of the production
throughout the summer. It can only be a
short time before there must be a marked
shortage in the supply, and then manufacturers
who are lucky enough to have a few cars left
over from their season’s sawing can readily
realize their own figures. The demand is good,
better than it has been for two months. Com-
petitive shingles, such as Michigan and Ontario
cedar and pine are in very scant supply, and
the New Brunswick and Maine operators who
can supply the demand have prices in their
own hands. Ruling quotations are, delivered
on Boston rates: Extras, $3.15 to $3.25;
clears, $2.70 to $2.80; 2nd clears and clear
whites, $2.20 to $2.35. :

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

In every part of the province umber of
all kinds 1s moving actively. The fall de-
mand from retail dealers has presented
itself within the past week, and at the
same time numerous representatives of
United States houses have visited the
mills on this side in search of stock. Not
for many years have the yards been so
thoroughly cleaned up at the close of the
sawing season. Prices have stiffened
slightly, and in the lower grades some ad-
vances have been made. At Toronto the
wholesale price of 1 xX 10 and 12 mill culls
is $10.50 to $11, 1-inch siding mill culls
$9.50 to $10, and inch siding ship culls
$11.50 to $12. These grades have ad-
vanced 50 cents within the past week.
Inch fine dressing and better is also
higher, being quoted at $22 to $23. The
exceedingly high price of mill culls is the
subject of much comment by the trade.
United States dealers have paid $8 per
thousand for mill culls f.0.b. cars at Geor-
gian Bay points. To this must be added
$2 for duty and about $4: for freight,
making the cost of the lumber delivered in
the Eastern States about $14 per thous-
and. Much of this lumber, no doubt, is
being used for the manufacture of boxes.
Hardwood prices have remained almost
Stationary for some time. A slight ad-
vance has been made on maple of first
and second quality.

Shingles and lath continue to be much
inquired for. XXX pine shingles, 16-inch,
sell at $2.60 wholesale, and XX at $1.70.
No. 1 lath is quoted at $2.60 at Toronto
and No. 2 at $1.75, with an upward ten-
dency.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

There are indications that the shipping
season is drawing toa close. The exces-
sive freight rates and insurance charges
may terminate the season earlier than
usual. European trade is quiet, although
regular shipments are being made to the
United States, the market there for clap-
boards, shingles and other eastern pro-

Il.

ducts having greatly improved of Jate.
Upon Boston rate of freight extra cedar
shingles are now quoted at about $3.15 to
$3.25. From New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia heavy shipments of lumber. are
being made to South America, from which
quarter a heavy demand has lately arisen.
In Quebec there have been heavy rains,
but in New Brunswick the lumbermen are
meeting with difficulty owing to their logs
being hung up on account of low water.

UNITED STATES.

Peculiarly favorable conditions charac-
terize the lumber trade of the United
States. Notwithstanding the many ad-
vances in price lists which have been
made, there is a tendency to mark prices
still higher. Freight rates from Lake
Superior to the Eastern market have now
reached $4.50, which dealers are paying
very reluctantly. In the face of this and
of the acknowledged shortage in lumber,
there is little fear of any break in prices
before the spring of 1900 at least. Some
of the best authorities state that the stocks
of lumber on hand at the opening of the
new year will be the lightest known in
years. In the Tonawanda market there
is a tendency on the part of dealers to ad-
vance prices on box lumber and No. 3
barn, of which there is a decided shortage,
while mill culls are nowhere to be found
in any quantity. In the Saginaw valley
log run ranges from $16 to $25, box from
$15 to $16, Norway from $12 to $18, and
mill culls from $12 to $14. Hemlock has
undergone an advance of one dollar per
thousand at Buffalo and New York, being
quoted at the base price of $13.50 and
$16 at the respective points. Hardwoods
have not changed. Canadian hardwood
Jumber, such as ash, elm, basswood and
maple, is eagerly sought for, and at prices
if any'hing higher than quotations of one
week ago. White ash is quoted at Boston
at $45 for 1-inch, $50 for 14 and 1%, and
$55 for 2-inch. One-inch maple sells at
$27, 14-inch at $29, 1%-inch at $30, 2-
inch at $31, and 3 and 4 inchat $37.

Lath is still strong, white pine selling
at Chicago at $4 and dry mixed at $3.75.
In the Saginaw valley quotations are
$3.50 and $3.75. Shingles are selling at
Buffalo on a basis of $4 for best 18-inch
white pine, $3.75 for red cedar, and $3.70
for white cedar.

FOREIGN.

The reports from the British market
are of an encouraging character. Prices
are advancing, and importers who pur-
chased at high prices now feel confident
that they will be able to make a fair mar-
gin of profit, thanks to the high freight
rates and insurance charges. Spruce in
particular is strengthening. A cargo of
800 standards, from Grindstone Island,
Que., was sold about the middle of Sep-
tember at £6 15s per standard to a west
coast buyer, and probably £7 is about the
average selling quotation at the present
time. Less than one month ago sales
were made as low as £6 12s, which gives
a fair idea of the rapidity of the advance.
Some merchants are storing stocks of
spruce, upon the belief that by the new
year a shortage will develop in this class
of lumber and that high prices will rule.
At present the high values have a ten-
dency to check business, but as the con-
sumers satisfy themselves that the ad-
vance is to be maintained, business will
resume its normal condition. Whue the
pine demand is not as strong as spruce,
there are evidences of firmness in that
market.

France and Germany are reported to
be buying considerable lumber, but prices
are not altogether satisfactory. The
South American demand appears to be
steadily expanding, while in Australia the
trade has shown a slight improvement, al-
though no advance in price has been
made.

The barque Baldwin sailed from Bear
River, N.S., for Buenos Ayres last week,
with a cargo of lumber, shipped by Clarke
Bros.

Owing to the recent heavy rains, the
boom at the St. Maurice Lumber Co.’s
mill at Three Rivers, Que., brcke on Sep-
tember 27th, carrying away between I5,-
ooo and 20,000 logs. Later the govern-
ment booms, containing about 50,000 logs,
and the immense booms of the Laurentide
Pulp Co., at Grand Mere, Que., gave way,
allowing about 200.000 logs to be swept
out into the St. Lawrence. The loss to
the owners will be quite heavy.

The Keewatin Lumber Co., of Kee-
watin, Ont, have experienced a very busy
season, operating their mill night and
day. Inthe winter of 1898 99 the com-
pany cut on their limits on Lake of the
Woods 10,000,000 feet of logs.’ This,
together with the timber procured from
Minnesota, made a total for the year’s
operations of 2',000,000 feet. Some of
these logs, however, will be carried over
for sawing next spring before the drives
arrive.

BUFFALO AND TONAWANDA.
[Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.]
There is just now a rush of dealers from this

side into Canada after pine lumber. The
prices have gone up so high that there isa
general uneasiness over the future, so it was
felt that if there was anything that looked
like relief across the line it was high time to
go after it. This move has greatly increased
the amount of lumber to come in from Canada
this fall. The purchase of 20,000,000 feet by
the Montgomery’s at Midland and other
Georgian Bay points wil] swell the importation,

but as a rule the dealer who is after Canadian
lumber is going into by-districts for it, in the
hope of getling it ata more moderate price.
In some cases he will succeed, for nobody is
any too well posted on the condition of the
market, but he will have to sit on the pile till
it is on the way to his own yard in some cases.
There is any amount of complaint that the
saw mill man has struck a customer who will
pay more for the stock and has sold it again.

One or two Buffalo dealers are looking into
the law of the case and will bring suit if there
seems to be any chance of recovery, but asa
rule there is no remedy, for the law obliges
the purchaser to prove actual damages which
in many cases he is not able to do, so he
takes what comfort he can in grumbling.

This matter of keeping posted on the condi-
tion of the market is no small source of won-
der to those who are always well abreast of it.
They are always able to find dealers right at
home who are continually selling their lumber
at less than market prices, and doing this with
no particular end in view, all because they are
not posted. Others who are aware of this are
sometimes afraid that too much of the situa-
tion will be given away by the trade papers.
From their own standpoint this is a correct
idea, but ifthe business asa whole is to be
made the most of, the clearest and most com-
plete view of the state of trade must be had on
all sides, without reference to individual de-
mands.

All sorts of lumber is still going up, most of
it quite rapidly. The hemlock producers have
been beset so terribly for stock that they could
not turn out that they kept putting up the
price 50 cents at a time all summer in the hope
of shutting off the demand, but this had so
little apparent effeet on it that they at last
ordered it up one dollar, making the base
price $13.50 at wholesale and $16.50 at
retail. This has frightened the builders, and
will have the effect of shutting out speculative
building to a great extent, especially as the
price of everything else in the building line is
also very high.

The advance in price, next to hemlock, 1s
in pine, which is now at fever height and is
still going up. There have been meetings of
dealers in both Buffalo and Tonawanda with-
in a week to advance pine still further, though
nothing has as yet been done more than to ap-
point committees for a general conference. It
is expected that there will be representatives
here or at some convenient point from all the
Lake Erie markets and Saginaw ina short
time for another general order of advance.

There was a general complaint all through
the summer that Albany was not in line with
this market on prices, and a committee was
appointed to go there and confer with the

trade, but before it was ready to go word was
received that the prices had already been put
up. Whether Albany had been taking ad-
vantage of cheaper prices from Canada, which
have now been withdrawn, is mere conjecture.

The report from Canada now is that the
prices on pine are for the most part fully up to
ours, minus the duty, so that there is no
chance of special profit there except on odd
lots that may still be found here and there.
Still there is going to be considerable bought
there from this time on, unless the prices get
too steep, for the scarcity at home is such that
it is hard to finda supply of Jumber that is
desirable. There is no longer any chance of
buying this or that just as it may happen to be
wanted. The seller sells as he likes. He is
in command of the situation and will not sell
the cream and leave the rest on his hands. In
spite of our high prices, they have all been
enforced by the attitude of the producer, as a
matter of self-defence. Asa rule the prices
are still lower than should be the case if the
asking prices at the mills are made the basis,
and ifit were not that our sales are mostly
made of lumber bought some months ago, and
therefore at a price considerably lower than
we can buy for now, there would be actual
loss.

What is to happen when the prices come to
a standstill and then begin to drop, as raust be
the case sooner or later? Nobody looks for
such a change right away, but everybody is
expecting it sometime, and there is much un-
easiness in the pine trade over the prospect.

business the confidence is greater, for the
actual scarcity of practically everything is so
great that no material decline is thought pos-
sible. Still, with quartered oak held for $70
and white ash about as high, there must come
a time when sales will be slow.

Tt is expected that the Laidlaw yard will be
moved to the Ohio basin in the spring and the
one now occupied will be taken by the Mont-
gomerys.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

There has been a rush of lumber ship-
ments during the past week, owing to the
desire of shippers to take advantage of
water rates. Some dissatisfaction is ex-
pressed at the action of the Grand Trunk
Railway in preventing the shipment of
lumber from Georgian Bay points to
New York via Albany and the Hudson
river.

Although no actual changes in lumber
prices can be reported since last issue,
there are indications that slight advances
will be made in certain grades before the
winter basis is reached. From every di-
rection comes the report of enquiries for
lath and shingles, and at the close of the
sawing season the stock of these at the
mills is well nigh exhausted. Competi-
tion in buying has been extremely keen,
resulting in the advanced prices now
quoted. Generally trade is brisk.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Owing to the large number of vessels
chartered by the British government to
transport troops and supplies to South
Africa, a sharp advance in ocean freight
rates has resulted, and few, if any, vessels
are likely to be chartered for carrying
lumber from the St. Lawrence to Great
Britain this fall. Rates from Montreal
rule at 47s 6d to Liverpool, 50s to Lon-
don, Bristol, Manchester, Glasgow and
Leith, and 55s to Dublin and Belfast.
No lumber of any account excepting that
contracted for will go forward. This will
permit of the stocks of pine in Great
Britain becoming reduced to a normal
basis, as they are now said to be excessive.
In New Bruuswick and Nova Scotia

there is very little lumber not already
contracted for. The stocks of British
deals have been largely bought up, and
manufacturers look forward to higher
prices and a brisk demand next season.
There is a good enquiry for shingles and
lath, the latter selling at the mill at $1.20
per thousand.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Manufacturers and retail dealers are
busy filling orders for lumber, The farmers
in Manitoba and the Territories having
finished harvesting operations, they are
now turning their attention to needed im-
provements and additions to their build-
ings. Besides the large country demand,
n6é small quantity of lumber is being con-
sumed in building work, finishing mater-
ial being much enquired for. Prices, as
far as can be learned, are being adhered
to, with a tendency towards an advance.
In British Columbia, and in fact in the
entire Pacific Northwest, the lumber busi-
ness is in a prosperous condition. The
increased demand has caused prices to
stiffen slightly, but they are not as yet
high enough to leave more than a limited
margin of profit for the manufacturers.
The manufacturers in British Columbia
feel that, placed on an equal footing with
their competitors south of the border,
they can control the local market, but the
present condition permits of the low
grades of lumber being shipped from
the United States and sold at a very
low price, while Canadian lumber market-
ed in that country must pay a duty of two
dollars per thousand feet. Of export
trade no complaint is heard. Several
large shipments have been made to
Australia, and some to China and Japan.

UNITED STATES.

The high prices for lumber have at last
checked consumption in the United
States to some extent. Lumber for
manufacturing purposes is as much asked
for as ever, but such 1s not the case with
building material. This is about the only
change in the situation since last report.

The white pine manufacturers in the
Upper Mississippi Valley have issued a
new price list making an advance of 50
cents per thousand on several items. In
that district medium grade lumber is in
fair supply, but there is a shortage of
factory plank and No. 3 and No. 4 boards
and strips. Some markets also report a
scarcity of piece stock. At eastern whole-
sale points receipts of late have been
quite heavy, owing to the fact that a rise
in freight rates from the upper lakes 1s
probable. Prices are firmly maintained.
All grades of box lumber and No. 3 barn
were advanced $1.50 per thousand at Tona-
wanda last week, and a further advance
of 50 cents 15 looked for. Buffalo dealers
report a great scarcity of low grade pine.
Cutting up stock. is being sold on the
basis of $31.50 for inch No. I cuts.
Spruce prices at Boston are higher, and
manufacturers are confident of being able
to maintain the advance.

Hardwood lumber is being bought up
as fast as it can be located, the price
being largely a secondary consideration.
Cull elm and basswood is quoted at Tona-
wanda at $17 to $18, the price at which
firsts and seconds were selling less than
one year ago. The sale is reported ofa
quantity of thick elm at $32. The demand
for maple and ash in the eastern states 1s
increasing.

FOREIGN.

The consumption of lumber im Great
Britain is of very satisfactory volume, and
prices generally show a tendency to ad-

vance. Particularly is this the case with
spruce deals, which are advancing very
rapidly.. At a recent sale at London, 9

and 11 inchsold at £8 5s to £8 tos, white

about two months ago the quotations
were fully 10s below this figure. Spruce
prices are, however, governed to some
extent by the prices of Swedish white-
wood, which is now quoted as high as £9.
In view of this there is no difficulty in
realizing high prices for spruce deals.
Prices of pine deals at some of the ports
show an advance, but at Liverpool and
London receipts have been so heavy that
the market is depressed... There is a feel-
ing that imports must be decreased before
there can be any substantial improvement.
At Glasgow 3 and 4 inch pine deals,
which have been dull of sale for some
time, are showing more activity. Red pine
deals are in active demand and receipts
are eagerly picked up. For square and
waney timber the market is rather quiet.

Leen al

STOCKS AND PRICES.

Hemlock now sells at Buffalo at the
base price of $13.50, as against $8.50 one
year ago.

Munro & Ebert, of Little Current, Ont.,
are taking out some fine board timber at
Bay Finn.

The steamer Bogstad has completed
loading deals at Liscombe, N.S., for the
United Kingdom.

The steamer Alderney sailed from St.
John, N. B., last week for a British port,
with 1,695 standards of deals.

The steamer Bentala sailed from Richi-
bucto, N. B., on September 28th, for
Liverpool, Eng., with 1160 standards of
deals.

White ash is still quoted at Boston at
$45 for 1 inch, $50 for 1% and 1% inch
and $55 for 2 inch. Elm is being re-
ceived in that market in increased quan-
tity.

Washington cedar shingles have ad-
vanced in the Boston market 5 cents, and
although eastern cedar shingles cannot
be quoted higher, there is a visible
stiffening of prices.

Montgomery Bros. & Co., of Buffalo,
N.Y., are reported to have closed a
contract with Joseph Turner, of Midland,
Ont., for the immediate delivery in Buf-
falo of 10,000,000 feet of pine lumber.

At a meeting of the eastern spruce
manufacturers held at Boston, Mass., on
October 4th, a general advance in prices
was made averaging about one dollar per
thousand. The average price on Io and
12 inch spruce is $19, and onIo to 12
inch randoms $18.50. For covering
boards 5 inches wide and up the price is

CANADA LUMBERMAN

$15. Many of the spruce mills have been
restricted in their operations lately by low
water in the rivers, and for several weeks
it has been almost impossible to place
orders at the mills with any certainty of
securing shipment.

It is said that F. W. Gilchrist is
desirous of increasing his holdings of
Ontario timber limits, ior which purpose
Mr. F. S. Dunham, of Alpena, Mich., is
obtaining particulars of timber proper-
ties in the market.

Up to October Ist of this year Buffalo
received 156,294,000 feet of lumber an 1
99,127,000 shingles, against 125,962,000
feet of lumber and 69,530,000 shingles up
to same aate last year, but so great has
been the demand that stocks now held
are unusually low.

The yard dealers in Chicago are selling
white pine lath at $4 and mixed lath at
$3.75. Recent sales on the cargo market
have been on the basis, of $3.50 for white
pine and from $3.25 to $3.40 for hemlock
and mixed lath. At Minneapolis No. 1
white pine lath sells at $3.75 and mixed
at $3.50.

The Canadian-American lumber firm
of Alger, Smith & Co. purpose cutting
at their Duluth mill next year about
60,000,000 feet of lumber, as against
40,000,000 feet this year. They have
three camps on Pigeon river on the
Canadian side, and will make a larger cut
than usual there.

The Elder-Dempster Co., steamship
owners, are also engaged in the cultiva-
tion of fruit on the Canary islands, and
recently placed an order with an Ottawa
firm- for a cargo of box shooks for the
manufacture of crates. The stock will be
shipped to the Canary island on the
steamship Turrett.

D. L. Mather, of Keewatin, Ont., has
secured a eontract from the Canadian
Pacific Railway for from forty to fifty
thousand jack pine ties. These ties are
being taken out at Eagle Lake, and will be
loaded at Vermillion Bay. The°use of
jack pine was decided upon as a result of
the scarcity of tamarac and the difficulty
of handling it in the summer season.

Robert Ward & Co., Limited, of Vic-
toria, B. C., recently loaded the American
schooner Fred J. Wood with mining
props for Santa Rosalio, Mexico. She
carried a cargo of 9,300 pieces, contain-
ing 180,000 lineal feet. The export of
props has in the past constituted a profit-
able side industry of british Columbia
lumbering, and the re-opening of the mines
of Mexico is greatly stimulating the trace.

THE CUTTING OF TIMBER.

The Ontario government was interviewed
recently by a deputation of lumbermen, in-
cluding Cornelius Whitney, of the St. Anthony
Lumber Co.; Alex. Fraser, Ottawa ; H. Rob-
inson, Ottawa; A. McKenzie, Ottawa; C.
McLachlin, Arnprior, and J. Gillies, Braeside.
They asked the government to grant licenses
for cutting hardwood timber on land in Algon-
quin Park. Other matters in connection with
lumbering were discussed at some length. The
government promised nothing to the deputa-
tion, saying they had no accurate information
regarding the timber in the park.

The Montreal members of the Quebec
government were last week waited upon by a
deputation of lumber merchants, including
Hon. Gev. Bryson, Hon. J. K. Ward, David
Gillies, M.P.P. for Pontiac, Rodolph Tourir-
lee, and E. B. Eddy. They asked for modi-
fications mm the regulations respecting the
cutting of timber. Mr, Parent has undertaken
to thorouughly revise the code of regulations,
amending such clauses as do not now work
satisfactorily, and introducing new articles

CONDITIONS IN AUSTRALIA.

The monthly timber report of Fraser & 2.5
Melbourne, thus reviews the Australian
market :

The state of the market has on the whole
shown some little improvement within the
past few weeks, many buyers having pur-
chased supplies from stocks at the wharf and
out of the yards, in the hope of not only a
better demand being shown in the near future
for both local and country requirements, but
also with the belief that an increased range of
values may shortly rule for many of the varied
descriptions of timber which come upon this"
market. Up to the present, however, no ad-
vance in prices has been shown in flooring,
lining, and weatherboards, but for Oregon
better rates are now ruling, and would appear
likely to continue, as supplies on ‘hand of this
lumber are no more than: sufficient to meet
early actual wants. Several other kinds of
timber have also slightly increased in value
since the issue of our last report.

Both f.u.b. and freight rates at the chief
centres of supply have a decided hardening
tendency, and this fact will, no doubt, to some
extent help to improve, at no distant period,
the condition of our local market ; and ere the
bulk of shipments arrive, which are now on
the way and arranged for, it is probable that a

higher basis of valuations will be found exist-
ing for many classes of timber imports.

OREGON PiINE.—Imports : 1,120,632 feet
super. Arrival: Star of France, from Che-
mainus. About 600,000 feet from the above
shipment has been disposed of at up to £6 10s,
the balance of the cargo going into importers’
yard. An increase of 5s per 1000 feet super.
upon this figure is now sought. The cargo
per ‘ Carrolton,’ to arrive (but not yet loaded),
has been sold in a few hands, at a price not
transpired.

LaTHS AND PickeTs.— Imports: Laths,
105,570 pieces ; pickets, 44,080 pieces. Ar-
rival: Star of France, from Chemainus ; and
steamer, from Sydney. Business has been
active in both these lines, but supplies are
below requirements. Laths have been sold at

from 33s 6d to 35s, and pickets are worth £7
10s per 1000 pieces.

HINT TO CANADIAN MANUFACTURERS.

The Liverpool correspondent of the Timber
Trades Journal, London, Eng., in referring to
the lumber market, says :

**No one branch of our trade seems to show
diminution of activity, if, as we have said be-
fore, we except the Canadian pine trade in
deals and boards. This market, like other
recipients of large direct importations, is de-
pressed from the large supplies which still
come forward upon the old stock. If this part
ofthe market is to have a rebound from its

present dull condition, it can only be found in
a diminution of production. But this is hardly
likely to occur. The millmen must have had
arare good time for a couple of years, and
they are not likely to stay their hands until
they are forced by a lower price upon the
spot.

“* At any rate, this market and several others
round the coast are over-burdened with stocks,
and until these are cleared, or lessened toa
material degree, we cannot hope for a better
state of things here,

‘* What the Ottawa people may think is
quite another story.

‘© Spruce deals keep slowly working up-

wards in price. Here we have some large
cargoes landing which were bought at prices
nominally 5s. per standard below the current
rates. The steamer ‘‘ Asphodel” is landing
about 700 standards of spruce deals for Jas.
Halsall & Son, from which they should do well,
as the demand keeps strong. One large im-
porting firm tells us they have only about 1,000
standards iu stock, which they will keep for
the satisfaction of small orders. All who have
stocks of spruce deals are holding on to them,
as every indication points to still further ad-
vances as the closing season goes onwards to
its termination. For a large steamer cargo
now on the way £7 1s wanted, and will prob-
ably be obtained before arrival.”

SHIPPING MATTERS.

The bark Africa has been chartered to load
lumber at Boston for Buenos Ayres at $9, if
Rosario $10. The bark F. V. Lovitt will
load lumber at Yarmouth, N.S., for Buenos
Ayres, at $10.50.

The Lumber Section of the Toronto Board
of Trade has been notified by the G.T.R. that
after November 1st lumber rates to Eastern
States points will be advanced to the basis of
21% cents per 100 lbs. from Georgian Bay
points to New York, other points pro rata ;
but the recent tariff advancing the rates to
Buffalo, Suspension Bridge and Tonawanda
will not be disturbed.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

So far October has been an active
month in the lumber business, but there
are signs that the trade is settling down
to a winter basis. Someof the mills are
closing down, while others will operate
for some weeks yet. Reports are but a
repetition of low stocks, so that no
weakening of the market is likely to
result from a falling off in demand. The
winter requirement for local manufactur-
ing purposes is certain to be quite up to
the average, if indeed it is not con-
siderably greater. The position of
stocks in the Eastern States is such that
a demand from that quarter is assured,
particularly for low grade lumber, of
which there is a great scarcity. Under
these conditions, it is the general opinion
that the sawing season of 1900 will open
with stocks of pine lumber lower than
they have been for years. The hardwood
situation has not changed; stock is
scarce and difficult of purchase. Com-
plaint is made, not without foundation,
we believe, that the margin between the
manufacturer’s price and that which can
be obtained from the consumer is too lim-
ited ; in other words, the manufacturer has
taken every advantage of the improved
demand, while the dealer has had great
difficulty in educating the retailer and
consumer as to the full extent of the ad-
vance in prices. It is a question if
prices of hardwood lumber have not in
some instances been advanced too rapidly.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

An event of more than usual interest to
the lumber trade of Montreal was the
awarding last week of the contract for the
timber required for proposed harbor im-
provements to be carried out next year.

. Tke contract is one of the most important

which has been given out for some time
time, representing a figure well up to one

VANCOUVER or VICTORIA, B.C.

hundred thousand dollars. The competi-
tion was quite keen, the successful tend-
erers being the Shearer & Brown Com-
pany, who submitted a bulk tender. Apart
from this contract, trade is generally
quiet. A few vessels are loading and
under charter for the British market, al-
though the quantity which will go forward
between now and the close of navigation
will be small. The month of September
showed a falling off in shipments of lumber
from Montreal of $407,143, as compared
with same month in 1898, the value for the
two months being $1,321,436 and $914,293
respectively. Reports from New Bruns-
wick state that there is very little stock in
the hands of manufacturers. Such stocks
of British deals as are still held on this side
are in the hands of shippers, who may
possibly hold them over for spring ship-
ment on account of the scarcity of vessels
and high freights. The rate from St.
John to the west coast of England is 52s
6d to 55s. Two steamers have been
chartered at the latter figure, which is the
highest rate paid so far this season. There
is good enquiry for lumber tonnage from
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick to the
West Indies and South America.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

A brisk movement of lumber is reported
from Manitoba and the Territories. A
number of new buildings and improve-
ments have just been commenced, and
most of the finishing work wil! be done
during the winter months, thus keeping
up the demand for lumber. The mills in
British Columbia are so busy with local
and eastern trade that, with one or two
exceptions, export business is receiving
little attention. Several of the mills are
shipping lumber to Cascade City and
other northern points to be used for
building purposes. Shingle manufac-
turers are likewise experiencing a heavy
demand for their product.

UNITED STATES.

The movement of lumber in the United
States has shown a slight falling off dur-

If.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

ing the past week. This has been due to

two causes, first, the indisposition of -

retail dealers to stock up at the present
prices, and second, the high freight rates
ruling. There appears to be an opinion
among retail dealers that prices will
weaken during the winter months, but in
contravention of this it is pointed out
that so far as white pine is concerned, the
mills are receiving enquiries for stock to
be delivered next season at the prices
prevailing at the present time. Freights
from Duluth to Buffalo have advanced
from $4 to $4.50, and as a consequence
the dealers are only bringing down such
lumber as must be moved. The feature
of the pine market 1s the active demand
for the coarser grades. That most en-
quired for at Buffalo, Tonawanda and
other eastern markets is 1x lo and 1X12
inch box and No. 3 barn. The scarcily
in the east of cheap cutting-up stock is
such that sash, door and blind manufac-
turers may be forced to use higher priced
lumber. There is also a reported scarcity
of spruce, and manufacturers are realizing
high prices. It is impossible to point out
any material change in the hardwood
trade. The demand has not abated,
while stock is getting scarcer. Prices
are stationary, and if any advances are
made, they are likely to be of a moderate
character. The shingle market is firm,
with some possibility of an advance in
the near future. New Brunswick cedar
shingles of No.1 quality are selling in
Boston at $3.25:
FOREIGN.

The wood trade of Great Britain is now
giving some attention to next year’s ship-
ments, although as yet little business, if
any, has been concluded. Shippers are
said to be asking higher prices, and there
are indications that deals will be higher,
while battens will remain about the same.
It is expected that a large amount of
business will be transacted before the
close of the year.

Within the past fortnight there have
been several advances in pine and spruce
deals. At London 3x11 first pine is
sellmg at £26 to £26 fos per standard
and 3X 11 first spruce at £14, while 3 x II
third spruce makes £9, and 3x9 £8 Ios.
These are the prices paid by retail dealers
and large consumers. Thereis a scarcity
of broad first pine deals in brokers’
hands. One parcel of four inch, prin-
cipally 15 inches wide, is reported to have
been sold at £28 17s 6d per standard.
Long lengths of spruce deals, 18 feet and
up, 9X3, are also scarce. Waney and
square pine timber is rather quiet, al-
though prices remain firm. The de-
mand for Quebec oak and elm is good.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

No. 1 pine lath is now quoted at Min-
neapolis at $3.75.

The Pembroke Lumber Co. will get
out about 40,000 logs on their Dumoiiie
limit this winter.

A cargo of spruce deals has just been
purchased at £7 per standard delivered at
a Lancashire port.

It is reported that the cut of logs in the
state of Maine during the coming winter
will be unusually large.

The steamer Manitinea sailed from St.
John, N. B., last week for a British port,
with 2,621,000 feet of deals, shipped by
W. M. Mackay.

The Dickson Co., of Peterboro, pur-
pose operating this winter on the old
Scott limits north of Bail lake, employing
nearly 500 men.

S. A. Marks, of Thessalon, Ont., wants
offers for taking off and delivering on
bank of Thessalon river 160,000 feet pine
timber, 8,000 ties, and 250 cords of wood.

It was recently reported that Mont-
gomery Bros. & Co., of Buffalo, had pur-
chased 20,000,000 feet of lumber at Mid-
land and other Georgian Bay points. A
later report states that the quantity was
only 9,000,000 feet.

Joseph Turner, of Bay City, Mich., is
having 25,000,000 feet oi lumber manu-
factured in Ontario this season, and ex-
pects to cut 50,000,000 feet of logs this
winter. He recently sold 1,000,000 feet

of mill culls to the Michigan Manufactur-
ing Co. at $8, which, with the freight and
$2 duty added, made the cost $12 f.o.b.
Bay City.

The Bell Telephone Co., through Mr.
F. G. Walsh, superintendent at Winni-
peg, are asking for tenders for the supply
of 4,000 cedar poles, 25 feet in length,
with 7-inch tops, delivered between Port-
age la Prairie and Winnipeg.

Lath are quoted at Saginaw, Mich., at
$3.75 and $4 in wholesale lots and $4.50
in car lots. Lumber prices have an up-
ward tendency. An offer is noted of
$13.50 for mill culls, but the lot must
have been above the average in quality.

The schooner Ella Sayer sailed from
Quebec on October 13th for London,
with a cargo of deals, shipped by H. R.
Goodday & Co. The bark Rebekah
Crowell sailed on the same, day for Yar-
mouth, England, with a lumber cargo,
shipped by Dobell, Beckett & Co. The
steamship Abbey Holme is loading a
wood cargo at Quebec for the United
Kingdom.

An important lumber contract was
awarded in Montreal last week, i being
for the annual supply of timber for the
harbor works to be constructed during
the year 1900. The successful tenderers
were the Shearer & Brown Co, at $92,-
726.32. The W. H. Kelly Lumber Co.
tendered at $79,185.19, or $13,541.13
lower than the Shearer & Brown Co., but
an accepted cheque did not accompany
the tender, and on this yround it was
ruled out.

Several timber berths were sold at the
crown lands office, Fredericton, N. B.,
last week, to the following parties: J. E.
Moore, St. John, six births on Magua-
davic river, Shin creek, Rickelegan river
and Kedin lake, at upset price ; Hugh
McLean & Tate, two mile berth on South
Salmon river, $21 per mile; A. C. Esta-
brooks, two mile block in Farnham, Sun-
bury county, at $20 per mile ; Timothy
Lynch, two mile berth at head of North-
west Branch Little S. W. Miramichi, at
upset price ; Frank Todd, two mile block
on West Magaguadavic river, at $8.10
per mile.

A meeting of hardwood lumber manu-
facturers was held at Traverse City, Mich.,
recently, to complete the reorganization of
the Michigan Hardwood Lumber Associa-
tion. It was generally agreed that the
following prices for hardwood lumber
should rule: Log run—t-inch, $14;
grades, mill culls, $6; shipping cull,
$7.50; common, $12.50; firsts and sec-
onds, $17.50; 1%-inch, $18; 1%-inch,
$19 ; 2-inch, $20; 23-inch, $21 ; 3-inch,
$22.50; 3%4-inch, $23; 4-inch, $24. Com-
mon—1%-inch, $12; 14 inch, $12.50;
2-inch, $13.50; 24-inch, $14; 3-inch,
$15; 34-inch, $15.50; 4-inch, $16.

Of the Barbados lumber market Messrs.
S. P. Musson, Son & Co. say: There
have been two arrivals of white pine, the
Harold Borden, from Annapolis, N.S.,
with 142 M. ft., and the sch. Josie, from
Calais, Me., with 90 M. ft. merchantable
anl 1o M. ft. 2nd quality white pine
boards. This cargo was sold there, and
re-sold here at $22 for shipping and $17
for 2nd quality. In spruce we continue
our valuation of $17 or thereabouts. The
Blenheim has arrived from Paspebiac
with 1,200,000 long Gaspe cedar shingles,
a small portion of which have been placed
at $3.75; balance of cargo is being
stored. The Josie also brought 724 M.
cedar laying shingles, which were re-sold
at $2.70. A lot of 200 M. have since been
placed at $2.60.

WOOD STOCKS AT BRITISH PORTS.

The figure§ of the stocks of wood goods at
some of the leading British ports on September
30th, in comparison with same date one year
ago, shows that in nearly every line the supply
is lighter. At the public docks at London the
figures for the two years, respectively, are as
follows :

1898. 1899.
Pine deals and battens, pieces..... 1,697,000 1,469,000

It will thus be seen that at London the stock

of Canadian deals and timber of every class is
less than one year ago,

The figures for the ports of Liverpool, Birk-
enhead, Garston, Saltport and Runcorn are as
follows :

1898. 1899.

These show tha this year the stocks of square
and waney pine, red pine, oak, elm and birch
timber and New Brunswick and Quebec pine
and spruce deals are less, and only in ash
timber is there an increase.

The following figurr's show the stock of
timber and deals in the Clyde on September
30th, 1898 and 1899:

In nearly every class of Canadian deals the
stocks are considerably less than last year, al-
though Quebec spruce deals and boards show
an increase. Square and waney timber and
elm, red pine, oak and ash timber are less in
quantity, but birch logs show an increase of
about 50 per cent.

THE GLASGOW MARKET.

Messrs. Wright, Graham & Co., in their last
monthly report, review the timber market at
Glasgow as follows :

A good consumption of most kinds of wood
is going on. Stocks are moderate and prices
on the whole are very firm. Shipbuilding re-
turns show that the amount of new tonnage
launched on the Clyde during this month is a
record one, viz., 54,904 tons. New orders are
reported placed for about 26,000 tons.

SUCCESSFUL SALE OF TIMBER LIMITS.

The announcement that a sale of timber
limits would be held in the Board of Trade
building on Tuesday of this week was respons-
ible for one of the largest and most representa-
tive gatherings of lumbermen that has as-
sembled in Toronto for some time. Those
present included a number of well known

were originally purchased from the Ontario
government some years ago by Comstock &
Company, of Michigan.
ago they were purchased by Peter Ryan and
E. R. C. Clarkson, of Toronto, by whom the
sale was conducted.

The limits comprise berths No. 94, 98, 99
and 102, and known as the townships of
Trill, Ermatinger, Foster and Nairn, on the
Spanish river and tributaries, comprising a
total of 144 square miles. . The townships
of Trill and Ermatinger were offered in
single berths of 36 each,
and the two other townships in 9 square
mile parcels. The township of Ermatinger
was withdrawn by the auctioneer, Mr. Peter
Ryan, at a bid of $125,000. For the balance,
108 square miles, there were realized a total of
$679,500, or an average of nearly $6,300 per
square mile. The highest price paid was
$132,500 for a 9-mile berth in the township of
Foster. Mr. W. L. Churchill, of Alpena,
Mich,, was a purchaser to the extent of $282,-
500.

The result of the sale is regarded as most
satisfactory, and indicative of a growing ap-
preciation of the value of timber limits.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

The week has been an eventful one in
Ontario lumber circles. Timber limits to
the value of over one million dollars have
changed hands, and at figures which
augur well for the future of the Jumber in-
dustry of this province. These high
prices also reflect the condition of the
lumber market, which 1s_ decidedly
stronger than it has been for years. From
conversation with various lumbermen at-
tending the sale in Toronto, it was learned
that stocks at the mill are well nigh ex-
hausted, and that it is now common to re-
fuse orders on account of inability to sup-
ply the stock. At the present time the
inquiries are not so numerous as during
the summer and early fall, but still there
is a steady movement of pine lumber and
a light trade in hardwoods. In the latter
business is restricted on account of almost
the entire production of this season having
passed into the hands of the consumer.

Reports from the Georgian Bay and
Ottawa valley districts tell of arrange-
ments being perfected by the various
Operators for a heavy production of logs
this winter. Or the Georgian Bay many
of the Michigan as well as Canadian
lumbermen will operate extensively, and
if not allowed to export the logs, will
manufacture them in the province.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Notwithstanding the high freight rates,
we note the charter of two vessels to sail
from Quebec this fall with timber for the
United Kingdom. The cargo of these
vessels is probably wanted to fill contracts
entered into earlier in the season. Ship-
pers have experienced difficulty this
season in fulfilling their contracts, owing
to the scarcity of tonnage and high
freight rates.

The exports from St. John to the Unit-.
ed States for the three months ended
September 30th show the value to be
$320,256.69, as against $281,696.68 for
same period last year. There was, how-
ever, a falling off of $14,000 in the value
of exports of provincial lumber, stock cut
from Maine logs being responsible for the
increase. To Great Britain and South
America the shipments have been con-
siderably heavier than last year. Prices
at the present time are very firm and
stocks low.

WEEKLY EDITION.

OCTOBER 25, 1899

ee —————————————————————————eeeee_

UNITED STATES.

There has been no tendency towards
lower prices of lumber within the past
week. Atthe large pine producing centres
the season’s cut of the mills has been
practically disposed of, and the stock to
be carried over the winter will be mainly
that which is held at the mills because of
high freights. The east is still buying
lumber liberally, and the wholesale dealers
at Albany, Buffalo, Tonawanda and other
points anticipate a shortage in the supply
of some grades before the opening of lake
pavigation next spring. In view of the
increased cost of bringing lumber to these
wholesale centres, a conference of lumber-
men was held in Detroit a day or two
ago, at which it was expected that the
prices on all grades would be advanced
by from $1 to $3 per thousand. At Tona-
wanda the stock of cutting up lumber 1s
much lower than it was a few weeks ago,
but there is a large stock of inch and inch

and one-half fine common. Buffalo
dealers report a very Satisfactory
trade. There has been a_ wonderful

improvement in spruce within the past
fortnight. In New York, for instance, it
is almost out ofthe market, which 1s
something phenomenal. Hardwoods
generally are firm. There is an opinion
that the supply of basswood lumber will
very soon be exhausted, and consumers
will then have to look around for substi-
tutes, as the cut of 1900 will not be ready
for market before May or June. At Boston
white ash is selling at $45 to $47 for I-
inch, $51 to $53 for 13-inch and 2-1nch,
and $55 for fine thick common. Owing
to a scarcity of I-inch common ash, a
greater quantity of elm is being used.

There has been no weakening in the
shingle and lath market. Best 18-inch
pine shingles sell at Buffalo at $4, and
lath at $3.25. At Saginaw lath is firm at
$3.25 to $4.50.

FOREIGN.

From what can be learned spruce
seems to be acquiring a firm footing in
many of the markets in Great Britain.
There is a growing demand, and as stocks
have become somewhat reduced, dealers
are holding firmly to prices. Ata recent
sale in London 700 pieces 3x9 inch, 12
to 13 feet in length, reached the price of
£11 Jos, the third quality selling at £8
15s. These prices are much better than
could be obtained earlier in the season.
There has also been some improvement
in pine, and notwithstanding the large
summer importation, the stocks on hand
are not large. All classes of red deals
are in strong request. As yet no con-
tracts have been placed with Canadian
shippers for next season’s goods, although
it is learned that a buyer in Holland has
closed a contract with a Sodderhamn firm
for 4,000 standards of whitewood for f. 0.
w.shipment on the basis of £7 tos per 9
inch deals and £6 12s 6d for battens. A
sale of Sundswall whitewood has also
been made to France, on the basis of 190
francs, or about £7 55, for 3 x 9 unassorted.
There are indications that prices for early
spring cargoes will be quite as high as
those ruling this year.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

Lath is selling at Duluth, Minn., at
$3.50.

Sanderson’s saw mill at Prince Albert,
N. W. T., has closed down for the season,
having cut over 2,000,000 feet of lumber.

G. L. Black & Son, of Sackville, N.B.;
have purchased 7,000 acres of timber
Jand near that place for the sum of
$11,010.

The Delta Lumber Co., of Detroit, have
decided to operate quite extensively this
winter on the Georgian Bay, taking out
cedar ties, posts, etc.

M. M. Boyd & Co., of Bobcaygeon,
Ont., have, for several past weeks, been
shipping out three-quarters of a million
feet of lumber per week.

The Saginaw Lumber & Salt Co., of
Sagainaw, Mich., have started four camps
in the Georgian Bay district, on limits
exempt from the Ontario legislation.

Capt. R. L. Graham, of Wiarton, has

pnrchased a ‘saw and shingle mill on
Manitoulin island. He intends putting in
a large stock of logs during the coming
winter.

Following are the prevailing prices for
lumber at Ashland, Wis: Short 2x 12,
$i1.50; 18 foot of same length, $12.50;
2x4 to 2x10, 1 inch, Io to 16 ft., $10.50;
mill culls, $10.50 ; No. 4 boards, $11.60 ;
No. 1 12 inch white pine boards, $19.

Mr. D. C. Cameron, manager of the
Rat Portage Lumber Co., states that the
cut of logs in the woods south of the Lake
of the Woods this winter will be about
100,000,000 feet. This will be the largest
cut yet made, and about 40,000,000 feet
greater than last year.

The McMaster property at Kingston,
N. S., including a saw and grist mill, sash
and door factory, and extensive timber
lands, has been acquired by Clarke Bros.,
of Bear River. It is their intention to
erect aportable mill on the property to
cut about 1,500,000 feet annually.

The largest sale of lumber ever made
on Chequamegon Bay was closed last
week. The Keystone Lumber Co., of
Ashland, Wis., sold the entire cut of the
mill for the season of 1900 to the Edward
Hines Lumber Co., of Chicago. The sale
will approximate 50,000,000 feet, and in
value will represent over $600,000.

Logging on the Tobique river, in New
Brunswick, is being pushed vigorously.
James McNair has four camps, J. Hale
five camps on the Little Tobique, and R.
A. Estey, a large crew on the Gunquac.
Geo. Upham is preparing for extensive
operations on the Wapskyhagan, and J.
E. McCollum has two camps on the
Manakezel stream.

J. H. McNally has purchased the in-
terest of his partner in the business of
Flett & NcNally, lumber manufacturers,
Desbarats, Ont. It is Mr. McNally’s in-
tention to cut next season 100,000 feet of
oak and birch, and between 300,000 and
400,000 feet of pine. He purposes cutting
the hardwood during the winter, besides
doing his custom sawing.

TIMBER LIMIT PURCHASE.

At the Ontario government sale of 1892, Mr.
G. W. Pack, of Alpena, Mich., purchased a
36-mile timber berth in the township of
Morgan for the sum of $373,650, the highest
price ever paid for a berth of that size. With-
in the past few days Mr. Peter Ryan, of To-
ronto, has sold this limit to the Michigan
Land & Lumber Co. for a sum said to be con-
siderably larger than that originally paid by
Mr. Pack. The exact amount has not been

made public.

SUSPENSION OF COASTING LAWS.

In view of the prevailing sentiment regard-
ing the action of the Dominion government in
suspending the coasting laws for the balance of
this season, we publish below a letter on the,
subject from a well known firm of vessel own-
ers and lumber manufacturers :

THOROLD, OnT., Oct. 23rd, 1899.
To the Editor of the CanaDA LUMBERMAN :

DEAR SiR,—In reply to your request for our
opinion on the suspension of the coasting laws
by our government and permitting American
vessels to engage in the Canadian trade, we
would say that if a sudden disaster overtook
and demolished half of our Canadian fleet the
surprise would be no greater, and probably the
results from the disaster would be less damag-
ing to Canadian vessel owners. In that case
the lost vessels would be replaced, but if
American vessels, retaining the whole of thelr
trade, are allowed equal terms with us in our
Canadian trade, there will be few people in
this country so foolish as to invest money in
Canadian vessels.

The government should at least have given
us reasonable warning. We should have been
allowed, say, one year of the Globe’s ‘‘growing
time,” so that Canadian vessel owners might
get back some of the money which they
lost while American vessels were carrying 90
per cent. of our Manitoba grain to Buffalo.

When a delegation representing the Lum-
bermen’s Association asked the Dominion
government to place a duty on United States
lumber coming into Canada, they advised us
that before reaching a decision in the matter
they wished tohear the other side of the
question. Why, we ask, did they not do the
same thing in this case and give the Canadian
vessel owners an opportunity of presenting

their views? Had the government authorities
done this, we cannot think that the action re-

garding the suspension of the coasting laws
would have been taken.

Unfortunately, Canadian vessel owners are
few in number, and under the new law they
will be fewer. They are not a very important
body when compared with the railway
magnates, even though the latter charg far
more for carrying grain than we do.

During this season, up to the 1cth of
October, Canadian vessels were frequently
obliged to leave Fort William and go to
Duluth and elsewhere for cargoes, and at the
present time we are told there are less than
two million bushels of grain at Fort William,
while there is elevator capacity for somewhere
between six and eight million bushels. Not-
withstanding the statement (certainly not in
accordance with facts) that there are four

WEEKLY EDITION.

I{T,

million bushels of grain at Fort William, we
are certain that there are plenty of Canadian
vessels to carry the grain, and the rates are
from one half te one cent less to the Georgian
Bay than to Buffalo.

-It is well known that a lot of Canadian
grain vessels are at present engaged in carrying
lumber at better rates than can get for Fort
William grain. Why should we be expected
to carry grain cheaper than other cargoes ?
The lumber rates from Georgian Bay to Buffalo
during the past month have been $3 to $3.50
per thousand feet, while grain rates from Fort
William to Georgian Bay ports were from four
to four and one-half cents per bushel. There-
fore, the lumber rates are the better, and the
trouble is not a scarcity of Canadian vessels,
but a lower rate on grain than on other
cargoes, and we think the government should
not allow themselves to be imposed upon by
interested railways and grain dealers and in-
duced to give away to the Americans the grain
trade of Manitoba and the North-west that
rightly belongs to Canadians, and especially
in this, the first year in many that the Cana-
dians could clear enough to pay insurance.

Canadian vessel owners have always been
favorable to reciprocity in the coasting trade,
but the Americans have not been, and even
shut us out from carrying grain from an Ameri-
can to a Canadian point unless it was for ex-
port. Twenty years ago we had a good Cana-
dian fleet of vessels, but owing to a refusal of
the Americans to allow us reciprocity in coast-
ing, the number of our vessels has been stead-

ily decreasing, and row, when our Manitoba
grain trade is openin~ up and there is an in-
ducement to enlarge our fleet again, the
Americans who refuse 1s the coasting privilege
are allowed to come in and take the work that
Canadian vessel owner: have all aleng con-
sidered exclusively Canadian. This looks
like a transportation quest un with a vengeance,
and we trust your influential journal will not
allow it to pass unnoticed,

We have heard a great dcal as to the neces-
sity of unity in building up the country, but it
looks as if the vessel men and the lumbermen
are not included. Apparently the lumbermen
must struggle along under the handicap of a
two dollar duty on lumber, and the vessel

men take a second or third place in the trans-
portation question.
Sincerely yours,
J. & T. Conton.

FIRES.

The planing mill of John Kaufman, near
Cassel, Ont., was burned recently.

The saw mill of D. Purinton, near Rich-
mond Corner, N.B., has been burned.

Fulton Bros.’ saw mill at Fingal, Ont., was
destroyed by fire on October 25th. The loss
is $5,000, there being no insurance.

The steamer Fram has been chartered to
take a cargo of deals from Miramichi, N.B.,
to Rochefort, France, at 70s. The steamer
Rydal Holme takes deals from Quebec to
Barcelona, Spain, at 70s.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

The drawing to a close of the shipping
season has caused much activity in the
lumber business of the Ottawa valley.
Some shipments are being made by
vessel to Montreal for export to Great
Britain and South America, but the most
urgency of demand at the present time
pertains to the United States trade.
Eastern wholesale dealers have visited
the Ottawa valley and bought quite
heavily of grades and dimensions suit-
able to their trade. This has given
stability to the market. Reports from the
Georgian Bay district are but a repetition
of what has been said heretofore. Many
enquiries are being received for stock,
and particularly for the lower grades, the
supply of which has become well nigh ex-
hausted. The increase in manufacturing
of all kinds in Ontario, coupled with
active building operations this year, has
been responsible for a large demand for
the coarser grades of lumber, which have
been steadily advancing for some months.

Many lumbermen are this winter in-
creasing their operations in the woods,
and there promises to be a large produc-
tion of logs for sawing in the season of
1900. Several Michigan firms have al-
ready arranged to have their logs sawn at
mills on the Georgian Bay.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Each day witnesses an improvement in
the spruce market of the eastern pro-
vinces. On account of high freight rates
and short supply, very little stock is going
forward to Great Britain, but there is quite
a liberal movement of lumber, clapboards
and shingles to the Eastern States, where
the market has improved wonderfully of
late. Before the mills commence opera-
tions in the spring practically all the
stock wiJl have been moved from the
yards, and the season will open with
unusually bright prospects. Bay of Fundy
deals are now quoted at $9.50 to $10, and
St. John deals at $10 to $10.50, but it
would be difficult to find any considerable
quantity that has not been purchased by
the shippers. Extra cedar shingles are
quoted at $3.15 to $3.25, taking Boston
rate of freight, and the market is strong.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

In some sections of Manitoba and the
North-west Territories the country de-
mand for lumber has been restricted on
account of prevailing bad weather. Mills
are catching up somewhat with orders,
although the demand is such that dealers

and manufacturers have no hope of ac-
cumulating any stocks for some weeks to
come. A large quantity of British Colum-
bia lumber and shingles has been sold
this year in the North-west, and at satis-
factory prices. The millsin British Co-
lumbia report no slackening in the de-
mand. Building operations are proceed-
ing unabated, and even at this late season
of the year the erection of several large
buildings is just being commenced.

UNITED STATES.

In the United States trade there has
been a falling off during the past few
days in the country demand and a partial
cessation of building operations. On the
other hand, the manufacturmg demand
for lumber shows no signs of abating.
Reviewing the situation, there seems to
be a lighter movement of pine stocks
than has been the case for some weeks
past. Box lumber and low grade stock of
all kinds is in short Supply, but in medium
grades the supply is in better proportion
to the demand. Receipts of lumber at
eastern wholesale points, and particularly
Buffalo and Tonawanda, have been quite
large of late, but heavy shipments are
being made to the east by the Erie canal,
and winter stocks will be somewhat
broken. Wholesale prices at Saginaw
valley and Lake Erie distributing points
have undergone the advance to which
reference was made in our last issue.
This advance ranges from 50 cents to $3
per thousand, the latter beimg on the
upper grades. In another column details
of the new list are given. The upward
tendency in the spruce market has con-
tinued, a shortage of stock being reported
at Boston, New York, and other large
centres.

We believe that there has been a slight
falling off in the demand for some
varieties of hardwood lumber. Maple,
for instance, is not as much enquired for
as earlier in the season. Quotations at
Boston are $27 for 1 inch, $29 for 1% and
1% inch, and $31 for two inch. Elm
holds its own at $30 to $31 for 1 inch and
$32 to $33 for thicker.

FOREIGN,

British importers of wood goods are
now turning their attention to arranging
for next year’s shipments, and there is
much speculation as to the prices which
will rule. We have not learned of any
contracts having been made as yet, but it
is said that shippers. have refused offers
higher than the prices which were realized
or shipments this year. There is a strong

It.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

probability that prices for early spring
shipments in 1900 will be higher than the
closing sales of the present year. The
South African war does not seein to have
interfered with the timber trade ; on the
other hand, it has had rather an enliven-
ing effect.

Holders of Canadian spruce deals re-
port an unusually brisk demand for
goods, and prices are steadily advancing.
Within one month third quality spruce
has advanced nearly 25s per standard at
London, although at time of writing
second and third quality are slightly
easier, several contracts having just been
concluded for seconds at £8 15s and for
thirds at £8 5s. It is predicted that the
top_has not yet been reached, and that
still higher prices will rule during the
winter months. At Liverpool a cargo of
1,250 standards has been sold at £7 2s
6d, cost, freight and insurance, and £7
5s is being asked for West Bay and
similar stock. There has also been in-
creased firmness in Quebec pine deals of
all qualities, and sellers are inclined to
hold goods for higher prices.

From Australia comes the report of im-
proved conditions in the timber trade.
An advance has been made in the price of
Oregon pine, and the outlook for the
future is brighter than it has been for
some time.

——————————
STOCKS AND PRICES.
John Collins, of Honora, Ont., expects
to get out about 100,000 ties this winter.

James Beveridge, of Parry Sound, has
gone to Webbwood, Ont., to superintened
the cutting of 10,000,000 feet of logs near
that place.

Lindsay, Baird & Fulton, of Belmont,
N.S., are prepared to let contracts to
four jobbers to take out about 1,000,000
feet of logs each.

S. A. Baldwin, of Stanhope, Que., has
been given a contract to get out 5,000,000
feet of logs this winter at Norton Mills
for Mr. Fitzgerald.

Chew Bros., of Midland, Ont., have
contracted with Joseph Turner, of Sagi-
naw, Mich, to cut about 15,000,000 feet of
lumber for him next season.

Vigars Bros., of Port Arthur, Ont., are
preparing to get out a large number of
logs this winter, but so far have been
somewhat handicapped by the scarcity of
men.

The extensive mill property, wharves,
etc., of S. T. King & Sons at Kingsville,
on the St. John river, about one mile
from St. John, N.B., are being offered for
sale by L. A. Curry, solicitor, of St. John.

Wm. Gordon, of Stratford, is supplying
the timber and lumber for the Whyte
Packing Co.’s factory in that city. ihe
contract calls for over 600,000 feet, and
his tender was in the vicinity of $12,000.

The bark Argilla cleared from Parrs-
boro, N.S., on October 26th for Cardiff,
England, with about 1,000,000 feet of
deals, shipped by M. L. Tucker for W. M.
Mackay. This is the last vessel of this
season’s deal fleet of that port.

The Conger Lumber Co., of Parry
Sound, Ont., has closed a deal with an
American firm to saw 10,000,000 feet of
logs for them during the season of 1900.
The Conger Company will also cut about
the same quantity of their own logs.

A syndicate has acquired the Violin
Lake property in British Columbia.
This property includes between 1,600 and
1,700 acres of the finest timber land in
the Kootenay district and the whole area
of Violin Lake in addition. It is under-
stood to be the intention of the purchasers
to operate quite heavily for some years.

J. & T. Conlon, of Thorold, Ont., are
offering for sale their timber limits on the
north shore of Lake Huron, comprising
in all 191 square miles. The pine in the
townships of Thompson and Bright has

nearly all been cut off, but it is estimated
that there is in these townships about
40,000,000 feet of hardwood timber,
principally birch, red oak, hard maple,
ash and hemlock.

The largest cargo of lumber that ever
cleared from the port of Vancouver, B.C.,
was carried on the whaleback Elm
Branch, which sailed for Shanghai, China,
one week ago. The cargo consisted of
2,841,324 feet, valued at $26,000. The
timber is for the Chinese railway, and
will be used chiefly for bridge building.
It is prouable that this steamer will be
re-chartered to take another cargo from
Vancouver.

THE AUSTRALIAN MARKET.

The monthly timber report of Fraser & Co.,
‘Melbourne, reviews the Australian market as
follows :

As we anticipated in our last report, an im-
proved tone in the market has been experien-
ced during the past month, better business
from the country districts having been arrang-
ed, while the demand from our city and
suburbs has been well maintained, and from
both direction: there are appearances of such
continuing for at least some time to come. In
no case has there been a decline upon our last
valuations, but in several important lines an
advance in prices has been secured, notably in
flooring goods and Oregon, and _ the improve-
ment made in these is likely to be sustained,
while it is probable that very shortly we shall
be able to advise higher rates as ruling for
several other descriptions of timber which are
placed upon this market.

The position of affairs with us should also be
strengthened by the fact that c.if. values are
increasing from many of the export countries
which send supplies to here, and that gener-
ally the indications from these quarters point
to still farther higher rates ensuing rather than
any lower values being manifested in the near
future.

OREGON PINE. — Imports : 30,000 super-
ficial feet, from Sydney. The trade having
bought largely from supplies received last
month, consequently no quantity of import-
ance has been quitted within the past few
weeks. Holders are, however, firm and £7
per thousand feet is now required, at which
price some business has_ been done. Further
sales are pending upon this basis.

Latus AND PicKEeTs.— Imports: Laths,
1305 bundles. Both are wanted, but ex-
tremely scarce. Laths have been disposed of
at 37s 6d, while pickets are quoted at £7 10s
per 1000 pieces. An advance upon these rates
will likely be obtainable when forward sup-
plies are available.

,THE OUTLOOK FOR BASSWOOD.

Basswoop is so plentiful in’ the
stump, so easily logged and handled
compared with some of the other
hardwoods, is capable of such rapid
manufacture, and can be so quick-
ly cured for market, that a possibi-
lity of a shortage in supply has not
perhaps entered the minds of many
buyers or consumers, says the
American Lumberman. Neverthe-
less, the time has arrived when the
likelihood of a shortage in the sup-
ply of basswood lumber within the
next few months assumes such prom-
inence that it is worthy of serious
consideration.

The demand for basswood open-
ed up early this year, and even in
January and February .there were
quite a number of transactions in
which mill cuts were involved. As
the manufacturing season progress-
ed, the interest of buyers in the
basswood output increased accord-
ingly. For several’ months there
was a great deal of quiet buying and
large bunches of stock were taken
off the market. But there was ap-
parently so much left that even those
buyers who were most interested
saw no reason to apprehend that
there would not be enough bass-
wood to go around. However,
some new and unexpected factors
entered the situation. Many whole-
salers who had supposed they had
acquired enough stock to carry them
through the winter suddenly awoke
to a realization of the fact that
their stocks were dwindling and

mediately set about looking for
further supplies. In canvassing the

Se

season’s cut had been practically
disposed of, that there was no appre-
ciable stocks held in reserve by
manufacturers and that for any con-
siderable quantities the market was
absolutely bare. This is the situa-
tion in basswood to-day.

One of the causes Operating to
reduce the available supply of bass-
wood in so short a time was its
general substitution for other woods,
which it had supplanted heretofore
in only an occasional or desultory
way. Stocks of common basswood
were largely picked up by the box-
makers, who suddenly found them-
selves deprived of the correspond-
ing grades in poplar, cottonwood
and white pine. Molding manufac-
turers made heavy inroads upon the
stocks of firsts and seconds and
common, while the agricultural
implement makers, the wagon manu-
facturers, the car builders and
musical instrument makers all turn-
ed to basswood for the’filling of the
wants which they could not satisfy
in other directions. The white pine

dealers also furnished a requirement
for large quantities of basswood,
mostly in the shape of strips, for
siding, ceiling and wainscoting.
These large and unexpected de-
mands rapidly dissipated the cut of
basswood and it was shipped for-
ward all summer, in most cases as
fast as it was ready for the market.
There is the very best of authority
for the statement that, aside from
the occasional ill-sorted stocks to
be found in the hands of the whole-
salers, the big basswood cut of last
winter and spring has passed out
of the market and the bulk of this is
already consumed or in the hands of
consumers.

Now that we krow the disposition
of last winter’s cut it should not be
difficult to figure on the future.
The manufacturer of hardwood
lumber in Wisconsin have lately had
the scarcity of basswood brought
home to them so forcibly that they
are already looking forward to the
winter’s log cut. It is said that logs
have lately been contracted for at

$10, or fully $4 higher than they
were selling at two winters ago.
It this price is maintained, log-run
basswood will therefore cost -the
Operators $14 a thousand to put in
pile ; in other words, the cost of
basswood at the mill in the several
grades may be very close to the
present selling prices from the yards.

With last season’s cut of bass-
wood exhausted and with no pros-
pect of any addition to the visible
supply of dry lumber until next
May or June, a serious question
presents itself to hardwood consum-
ers. There is no surplus in the
hands of wholesalers, and the de-
mand is heavy. Meanwhile the sea-
son of basswood consumption in
many industries is just beginning

and will reach its height during the
winter. In all probability it will
be one of the biggest seasons in
the manufacturing line, generally
speaking, that has ever been known,
and the consumption of raw material
will be correspondingly heavy.
Under these circumstances, and
knowing tiiat many of the premises
herewith stated are not to be con-
troverted, we do not think that we
exaggerate in predicting still higher
prices for basswood before the first
of the year. No other conclusion
can be reached, and as this year has
broken many records in numerous
channels of industry, it would not be
out of the common for something
of the same kind to take place in
the basswood line.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

Within the past few days a transaction
has, taken place in the Ottawa valley
which is regarded as of great importance
to the lumber trade. It wasthe purchase
by Robert Cox & Company of next sea-
son’s cut of deals of the McLaren Estate,
of Buckingham, Que. That a sale should
have been made at this early date augurs
well for the prospects for next year. While
the exac! figure has nut been made known,
it is understood to be a slight advance
over the prices realized for this season’s
production. Now that a start has been
made, it is expected that exporters to the
British market will shortly evince consid-
erable eagerness to close contracts for
next season’s goods, and it would seem
that at least fair prices are now assured.
It is probable that the production of deals
in the Ottawa valley next year will show
a decrease as compared with this season,
and that a greater quantity of lumber suit-
able for the United States market will be
manufactured. There isa possibility also
that no large quantity of deals for the
British market will be mannfactured in
the Georgian Bay district, and altogether
we look forward to higher prices for British
deals next season.

anufacturers and dealers report a
continuance of inquiries for both pine and
hardwood lumber. The movement of
stock, however, has been restricted by a
scarcity of cars, and it is probable that
this matter will be considered at an early
meeting of the Ontario Lumbermen’s As-
sociation. .

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Fine weather in Manitoba and the
Territories has greatly faciliated work on

the numerous buildings in course of erec-
tion, to which is partially due the great
activity in the-lwthber trade. Dealers in
sashes and doors at Winnipeg are scarce-
ly able to keep up with orders, and for
special sizes particularly are finding diffi-
culty in meeting the requirements of the
trade. From what can be learned dealers
seem to be adhering pretty closely to the
In British Columbia
both export and local trade is prosperous.
About one month ago no less than five
vessels were in port at Vancouver loading
lumber sor foreign destinations. The pro-
ject to consolidate all the mills in the
Kootenay and Boundary districts is still
under way.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Spruce mannfacturers in the eastern
provinces are now in a position to give
their attention to logging operations, the
lumber shipments for the season having
practically. terminated on account of the
scarcity of stock. The market is unusually
strong, and in view of the high prices
ruling it is understood that one or two
cargoes of deals, now in the hands of
brokers, will be shipped from St. John in
January, the freight rate being 55s. The
shipments from St. John for the last two
weeks in October consisted of 1;297,000
feet of deals to England, 718,000 feet of
boards ond scantlings to Buenos Byres,
1,550,000 feet of long lumber, 1,495,000
laths and 1,900,000 cedar shingles to the
United States. Lumber tonnage from
Nova Scotia ports to the River Platte is
enquired for, but suitable vessels are
rather difficult to obtain. Freights are
about $10.50 to Buenos Ayres.

UNITED STATES,

Have lumber prices settled down toa
winter basis? This is the question which
is being asked by the lumber trade of the
United States. During the past week,
for the first time in several months, no ad-

vances have been made, which gives
Strengt) to the argument that the top
notch has now been reached. The gen-
eral opinion seems to be that there will
be no all-round advance on any class of
lumber, and that any changes made will
be on certain grades and sizes to even up
the price list. Inthe eastern markets the
demand for pine and spruce becomes more
urgent as the time approaches for the
close of navigation, but through energetic
efforts dealers have secured a fair stock
for the winter requirements. At Buffalo
there is a zreat scarcity ot 1% inch box
and mill culls, and reports are made of
short stocks in shelving and dressing.
At Boston both pine and spruce are going
into consumption’ freely. Stocks are
badly broken and prices at least $5 per

thousand higher than
month ago.

The demand for hardwoods 1s keeping
up well, and many of the large wholesale
consumers have been giving some atten-
tion to supplies for next season. In maple
there has been exhibited a slight weakness,
and there is less complaint of short supply
of basswood and elm than formerly, but
white ash cannot be found in sufficient
quantity, and sells at Buffalo as high as
$65 for 13-inch.

Only a moderate trade is doing in
shingles. At Buffalo white pine are
quoted at $4 and Michigan white cedar
at $3.70, while red cedars seJl at $3.75.
New Brunswick cedar shingles are still
quoted at Boston at $3.25.

FOREIGN.

Reports from foreign countries are such
as give strength to the timber market.
The South American demand 1s unusually
brisk, and the Australian market is just
commencing to show signs of a long ex-
pected boom. In Great Britain there isa
steady consumption of wood goods, and
stocks are becoming: reduced, Although
few, if any, contracts have been made with
exporters for spring shipments, the opinion
is gaining ground that prices will be
higher than the first-open-water quota-
tions of 1899. The present high prices
and upward tendency lead to this con-
clusion. Spruce is advancing in bounds,
and is uncommonly strong in regular deal
sizes, while planks are exceptionally
scarce. It is said that £7 10s. ex ship is
being asked at London for thirds. Prices
of first-class pine regulars are stronger
than they have been at any time during
the present season, largely due to the
moderate stock and the prospect of late
arrivals next year. At Glasgow third
quality pine deals are quoted at £11, and
£1013s. has been named for stock ex quay
In square and waney timber the market 1s
fairly well supplied, and the demand only
moderate.

wharf along the river here 1s stripped,
and James Murchie & Sons, H. F.
Eaton & Sons and H. F. Todd & Sons
have already made the sale of more
lumber than can be sawed before the
water freezes. More logs will be cut
this winter than has been cut in any one
winter for ten years past. Everyone
who has timber lands will be able to
sell stumpage at a good figure.”

PROPOSED SALE OF TIMBER LIMITS.

The Ontario Crown Lands Department has
decided to offer for salecertain timber areas in
the Algoma, Nipissing and Rainy River dis-
trlcts, their disposal being rendered necessary
by forest fires which occurred during the
past summer and the influx of settlers in some
of the townships. Part of the timber is so
damaged as to require that it should be cut
this winter.

BUFFALO AND TONAWANDA.

(Correspondence of the CANADA LuMBERMAN ]

I am in some doubt whether I can at this
writing impart any information that will add
to the sum total of knowledge that the Cana-
dian lumberman has of his business, We are
of the opinion on this side of the line that he
already knows too much. We are sorry about
it. Why could he not have remained child-
like and mentally undeveloped till we could
have gone over there and made off with the
best of his season’s cut of lumber? It would
have added to our regard for him as a neigh-
bor, and would have made our pockets bulge
still more than they do.

When the price of lumber, and especially of
pine, began to race up the scale, it was found
that the western saw mill man on our side was
entirely without reason. He wanted about as
much for his stock as we in the middle of the
trade, geographically, could get from the sea-

board consumer. - We were’ ata loss what to -

do, for to set up prices at the rate they were
advancing in the west was to shut off the con-
servative easterner and reduce the bulk of
trade. The result would be also that the
east would get into the bad habit of going
around us and buying of the producer direct—
a fatal iashion.

So it was- agreed, each man with himself,
that the thing to do was to go over into Canada,
take it for granted that the country was mostly
asleep, and pick up all the available lumber
and shingles before it wakened up. The thing
was tried so thoroughly that for a considerable

Cart 4DA LUMBERMAN

time every man that came back from the Geor-
gian Bay district reported all the woods full of
our lumbermen, looking for stock. Well, they
got some, just as they are still getting some
here and there at home, but it was not long
before the report was that Canadian prices
were as high as our own, and it was not of the
least use to go there after lumber unless there
was danger of the home cut giving out en-
tirely.

Since that time there has been considerable
buying of pine in Canada, but unless a lot can
be discovered in the back district where the
owner doesn’t take the papers, or where the
particular cut is more exactly adapted to the
buyer’s wants than any other that he can find,
he is about as well off at home. The Canadian
lumberman is generally awake these days.

For a time there was considerable buying of
shingles in Canada, for they have been scarce
here right along, but it is now reported of the
Canadian shingle maker, as well as of our
own, that it has been found more profitable to
make other lumber than shingles, and that a
great part of the shingle mills are shut down.
This will keep the price of shingles up, especi-
ally since it has been found impossible to get
a full supply of red cedar shingles for winter.
The orde:s have been sent in for them, but
there have been so many calls for cars that
only a part of the orders could-be filled.

The producer of hemlock is making the
largest percentage of profit on his’ business,

wholesaling at less than $9 here, but the de-
mand soon sent prices up, till the base price is
now $14, withso much prospect of more de-
mand right away that New York city has been
advised by authority that it will have to pay
$20 before spring. The price is $16.50 there
now.

There is considerable pine coming down
from Georgian Bay this fall, especially to the
Holland yard at Black Rock, and the Mont-
gomery’s are getting ready to bring down their
recent purchase at Midland, though it is not
expected that it will all come this fall. Fora
while the cut in rail rates made by the Grand
Trunk considerably demoralized the carrying
trade, but that has been fixed up again.

The September meeting of the pine interests
here, following the more general meeting in
Detroit, again resulted in higher prices, the ad-
vance in some cases being $3, in spite of the
already high price all round. Box and mill-

- cull grades are so. scarce that-they- had to go

up with the rest, though they had already been
advanced a larger percentage than anything
else in pine. The box factories have never
done such a rushing trade as they have during
the past summer, and they are still very busy,
though the biggest customer, the canned-fruit
industry, is about out of the rush for the
season.

The hardwood dealers are very confident of
a continuation of the good prices now enjoyed,
especially on account of the general scarcity ‘of
stock. They are all buying timber tracts and
looking to them closely, but there is no accumu-

lil.

lation of stock. Angus McLean, of Hugh Mc-
Lean & Co., is almost continually at the Indiana
mills of the firm of late, urging the cut forward.
The Buffalo Hardwood Co. has again sent T.
II. Wall to Memphis for the winter, to be on
the spot where the oak owned by the com-
pany comes in. F. W. Vetter, of the Empire
Company, has come back from the company’s
Arkansas tract for a breathing spell, with the
third mill already going up there since he went
to the tract in the summer. UH. S. Janes will
return to his new tract on the Yazoo delta of
Mississippi in a short time. Scatcherd & Son
and Taylor & Crate are increasing their oper-
ations in the south-west. All are sorry that
the nearer-by hardwood districts of Canada
have given out. T. Sullivan & Co. are lake
shippers this season, and are just now rejoicing
in the receipt of a big lot of elegant white ash,
thick as well as thin, something that is getting
to be very hard to find.

The event of the month is the preparation
of the Superior Lumber Company to retire
from business. This company is an auxiliary
of the Keystone Lumber Company, whose
mills are at Ashland. Till now a great part of
the cut has been sent. here for sale, ever since
A. P. Strong established the yard at the Tifft
Farm, Buffalo, in 1890, but the cut has now
been sold in alump in Chicago, and _ there is
no longer need of the Buffalo yard. The
company will close upin the spring, and the
yard will no doubt go into other hands, as it
is a fine one.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

The movement of lumber by rail has been
seriously handicapped by a shortage of
cars. This is about the only uniavorable
feature in the lumber trade of the province.
Dealers are turning their attention to ob-
taining supplies for next season, and _ al-
ready some contracts are reported to have
been placed with manufacturers. Prices
of pine lumber remain steady, with a
slight advance on the lower grades. In
the Ottawa valley box and mill culls have
undergone an advance of about one dollar
per thousand within the past two weeks,
Pine lath is also higher, No. 1 being quot-
ed at from $2 to $2.50 and No. 2 from $1
to $1.50. Hardwoods remain stationary.

The cooperage stock market is quite as
promising as that of lumber, there being
an active demand and but a limited sup-
ply of stock. Jointed elm staves are now
quoted 75 cents higher than they were
two months ago, while a 50 cent advance
has been made on coiledelm hoops. An
advance of one-half cent per set is quoted
on kiln-dried basswood heading.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Considerable shipments of clapboards,
shingles and laths are being made from
the eastern provincesto the United States,
but trans-Atlantic shipments are practi-
cally over for this year, excepting, of
course, small lots of stock which will go
forward to Great Britain by the regular

winter steamers from St. John. The
spruce market strengthens as the season
advances. The high price of spruce has
resulted in a falling off in building oper-
ations, but this will be only temporary, as
upon the approach of spring projected
buildings will be proceeded with. It is
not expected that prices of lumber will be
lower next spring than at the present
time, as the increased cost of log produc-
tion cannot but have an influence in the
direction of higher prices.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Favorable conditions continue to char-
acterize the lumber trade of Western
Canada. Retail dealers are stocking up
freely in anticipation of a considerable de-
mand for lumber during the winter
months, and in this they are not likely to
be disappointed, inasmuch as _ building
Operations are likely to be continued
throughout the winter to as great an extent
as it is possible todo so. There is also

‘the additional fact to be reckoned with

that lumber prices are likely to be higher
next year, owing to increased cost of sup-
pliesand the advance in wages. The Rat
Portage Lumber Co. and the Keewatin
Lumber Co. will operate quite heavily this
winter.

In British Columbia manufacturers are
encouraged by the orders for lumber
from new fields. Shipments to foreign
countries promise to be very active for
some time tocome. At the present time
a large fleet of vessels is taking on cargoes
at Hastings, Moodyville and Chemainus.
Ship owners report an active enquiry for
lumber tonnage. The trade in this pro-
vince view with favor the action of the
Washington Red Cedar Shingle Manu-
facturers’ Association in closing down.
their mills for a period of sixty days from
November 11th. In all about 200 mills
have been closed down.

UNITED STATES.

Mills closing down, stocks in mill yards
practically cleaned out, retail stocks low,
and a moderate enquiry for lumber.
These are the conditions of the lumbering
industry of the United States, and they
augur well for the immediate future of the
trade. There will be more winter sawing
than usual, but this will not be a large
factor inthesupply. There is little possi-
bility of white pine prices weakening be-
fore the spring at any rate, while some
authorities. predict that there will be
further advances on low grade stock.

The efforts of dealers to obtain a supply
of hardwood lumber seem to have met
with some success, although it is not anti-
cipated that the availabie stock will more
than meet the demands of the next two or
three months, and after that a famine in
hardwood lumber is predicted. Black and
white ash is more enquired for at Buffalo
and other eastern points than any other
lumber, and prices are especially firm.

Reports are still common of a scarcity
of lath and shingles. At Chicago No. 1
white pine lath retails at $3.50 to $4.75,
and at Saginaw quotations are $4 and
$4.50. All classes of shingles are wanted
in the Eastern States, the Buffalo market
being bare of 18 inch ofall woods. Prices

‘Il.

there rule at $4 for pine, $3.75 for red
cedar, and $3.50 for white cedar.

FOREIGN.

The timber trade of Great Britain does
not seem to be affected 1o any extent by
the South African war. Some shippers of
wood goods believe that upon the ces-
sation of hostilities a very lively demand
forlumber for South Africa will be wit-
nessed. For next season’s shipments high
prices are being asked, and there is little
fear regarding the maintenance of present
values. Some contracts have been placed
for Baltic goods at figures which are re-
garded as very satisfactory to shippers,
while the demand for Canadian lumber
has improved to such an extent during the
past month asto place it in a condition
fully as strong as that of continental lum-
ber. Stocks of both pine and spruce are
gradually becoming reduced. Of first
quality pine the stock of broads is low and
prices firm, and undersized of long
lengths are also wanted. Second quality
is not much in demand, but an increased
demand and higher prices are reported
for third quality. Long lengths of spruce
find a ready market. Quebec spruce
sells at £6 10s 3d to £7 11s 3d per St.
Petersburg standard. The stock of red
pine deals is low, and high prices are being
realized. The enquiry for square and
waney pine has not been very brisk, but
the railway ccmpanies are now entering
the market for a considerable quantity of
stock ; first-class waney, 19 to 20inchss
average, is quoted at 2s 7d to 2s 9d, and
second class at 17d to 2s per cubic foot.
Elm timber is advancing in price, being
quoted at 2s 6d to 2s 6d for first quality,
40 to 50 feet average.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

A more plentiful supply of cars since
the middle of November has resulted in a
heavy movement of lumber by rail. Mills
are busy shipping out orders which should
have been filled weeks ago, but which re-
mained unfilled owing to the impossibility
of securing transportation. The inability
to obtain lumber has caused projected
works to be deferred until next spring,
while some of the stock intended for such
works will probably remain in the yards
over winter. The quantity of unsold lum-
ber at the mills is smaller than has been
known for years. Prices of good lumber
remain unchanged, but the advance on
the lower grades does not seem to have
yet been checked. Common and mil!
culls are selling in Toronto at about $1
per thousand higher than they were two
weeks ago. The average quotations are,
for mill culls about $11, for 1x 10 and 12
common from $13 to $15, and for 1-inch
strips, mill run, $15 to$15.50. A peculiar
feature of the trade is the fact that whole-
sale dealers have not taken full advantage
of the advanced prices. In Toronto, for
instance, lumber is selling at prices little,
if any, higher than are now being paid for
stock at the mills. Of course, the stock
so offered was purchased a short time ago
at lower prices than now prevail, but this
is no reason why the present selling price
of lumber should not bear its proper rela-
tion to the mill price. It might be argued
that to advance wholesale prices to their
proper basis would cause a cessation of
buying, but this would not likely be the
result as consumers hold unusually light
stocks and must continue to buy for
almost immediate requirements.

Hardwood prices appear to have settled
down to a winter basis. There has been

no change excepting in respect to maple,

_which has advanced slightly. From the

Wiarton district sales of inch maple,
common and better, are reported at
$12.50 per thousand at the mill.

The shingle market has undergone no
material change, 16-inch XXX selling in
Toronto at $2.65 and XX at $1.75. The
demand is quite active. The lath situa-
tion is bordering on the sensational.
Such rapid advances as have been made
of late in the price of this material have
not been known for many years. Manu-
facturers are realizing from $2.75 to $3 for
No. 1 lath at the mill, and in Toronto the
wholesale selling price is from $3.25 to
$3.50 for No. 1,:and $2.75 for No. 2.-
These prices represent an advance of over
one hundred per cent. within a couple of
months. Itis the opinion, however, that
the present prices of lath will not hold
throughout the winter. Towards the
approach of spring at least, if not before
that time, we predict signs of Jower prices.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

A slight improvement is reported in
the timber trade at Quebec. The prices
of timber now on the market are un-
changed, but for white or red pine, elm
and ash of this winter’s production con-
tracts are being made at an advance of
from two to four cents per cubic foot.
The market for spruce deals exhibits
greater strength as the season advances.
Stocks at the mills in New Brunswick
and Nova Scotia are smaller than they
have been in the past twenty years, while
deals which sold at $8 one year ago are
now realizing $11. There is a consider-
able quantity of lumber cut for the South
American market still in the hands of
manufactures owing to the inability of
shippers to obtain tonnage, but most of
this has been contracted for. There are
good prospects for a lively demand until
May next, when the new stock may
probably reduce prices slizhtly.

Cedar shingles and spruce lath are
moving freely. Manufacturers are ob-
taining $2.10 per thousand for lath f.o.b.
mill, while in the fall of 1898 not more
than 60 or 70 cents per thousand could
be obtained for similar stock.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,

Outside work in Manitoba and the Ter-
ritories is being rapidly finished up. Con-
tractors have their buildings well closed
in, and the bulk of the lumber required
for building purposes during the next
couple of months will be finishing ma-
terial. Retail dealers are steadily adding

II.

to their stock, and apparently anticipate
an early spting trade. British Columbia
manufacturers report a steady demand for
all grades of lumber, with prices more
satisfactory than they have been for some
years. Considerable shipments are being
made to Australia and China, and it is
said that the Oriental steamers have their
entire capacity for some time to come
spoken for. It is announced that the con-
solidation of lumber interests in the Bound-
ary district of the Kootenay has been
effected, through the efforts of Mr. G. O.
Buchanon. The mills and limits repre-
sented are said to be valued at one million
dollars, although a report states that one
or two prominent concerns have refused
to become identified with the combine.

UNITED STATES.

The dealers at eastern wholesale
centres are taking in their last cargoes.
Naturally some attention has been given
to the stocks available for the winter trade,
particularly as there are excellent pros-
pects for an active demand during the
winter for nearly all classes of stock. The
stock of good lumber is on the whole of
average size, perhaps sufficient to carry
dealers through the winter. This cannot
be said of the lower grades, as it 1s gener-
ally admitted that a famine in cheap lum-
ber is an assured thing. Coarse lumber
at Buffalo and Tonawanda is at a prem-
ium, and the demand is reported to be
growing daily. Several cargoes of mill
culls have been received at Tonawanda
and disposed of at the price of $15.50 and
$16 on the dock, to be shipped direct from
the boat. Box and No. 3 barn are like-
wise scarce. Pine prices in all grades
are being firmly maintained. At Albany
three inch uppers are selling at $70, and
one to two inch at $55. Box boards bring
$18 to $20, and No. 1 barn, 1x 12, $25 to
$27. The foreign trade in pine is rather
quiet with the exception of West Indian
bnsiness. Prices on West Indian shippers
are $22 for 12 inch rough and $24 for
dressed. Spruce maintains its strong
position, dealers holding firmly to list
prices.

No further advance in hardwood prices
is reported, but as the season advances
greater difficulty is found in purchasing
stock. There has been a slight increase
in the demand for birch, and white and
black ash is also very scarce, manufactur-
ing industries purchasing it as fast as it
is received in the market.

FOREIGN.

The recent quotations from Great
Britain show that pine and spruce deals
have considerably advanced of late.
Broad first quality pine deals are selling
at Glasgow at £24 to £27; second
quality, 1r ich and up, at £16 to £19;
third quality at £11 to £12, and fourth
quality at £8 5s to £8 10s. First quality
pine sidings bring £18 to £21. The quo-
tations for Quebec spruce deals at Lon-
don are: First quality, £9to £11 Ios;
second quality, £8 tos to £9 ; third qual-
ity £8to £8 10s; fourth quality, £7 Ios
to £8. New Brunswick spruce deals
realize £7 15s to £8 10s. Oak timber
sells at Glasgow at 2s 7d to 3s 4d per
cubic foot, elm at 2s to 2s 9d, birch at from
1s 7d to 2s, and ash at about 2s.

The Alden Saw and Grist Mill at South
Roxton, Que., owned by E. Bradford, of
Granby, was destroyed by fire last week.
The loss is $2,000, with no insurance.

THE SHINGLE AND LATH MARKET.

The shingle market throughout the United
Statesis one of great strength. The receipts
of red cedar shingles have not been large and
there is but a small stock in the hands of
dealers. Hemlock shingles appear to be out
of the market, and there is only a limited sup-
ply of white cedars. Coming to white pine,
the reports are that manufacturers are prac-
tically sold out, while the stocks held by
dealers are much below the average, In view
of the above conditions, there is reason to ex-
pect a further advance in the price of shingles
before spring, notwithstanding that best 18
inch pine now brings $4 in the Buffalo
market.

The shortage in lath is, we believe, unpre-
cedented. The American Lumberman. re-
views the lath situation as follows :

“Tt was only a few months ago that lath sold
at a price which hardly covered a handling bill,
to say nothing of the cost of manufacture. To-
day dry No. 1 white pine lath bring at whole-
sale from $4.50 to $5 a thousand, and the
supply is not equal to the demand. There has
been an advance of over 100 per cent. in the
selling price, with no prospect of much lower
prices in the near future.

‘* The lath market this season has been. a
peculiar one. A great many wholesale dealers
argued that because the shingle trade was com-
paratively dull there was, perhaps, less than
the usual amount of small building throughout
the country, and it is undoubtedly true that
much of the activity in the lumber business has
been due to the manufacturing demand and the
large amount of factory buildings constructed.
It does not appear, therefore, that the strength
of the lath market is due so much to unusual
demand as it is to other causes. We may
assume, however, that owing to the condition
of the iron market metal lathing is not used as
extensively this season as it has been for several
years past, and this undoubtedly has had some
effect upon the lath market, though the chief
element of strength this year is a supply that is
below normal for an average building season.

“« Accurate figures as to the lath production
of northern mills for a period of years are not
available, but sufficient information is at hand
to indicate that there has been a steady decline
in the output since 1892. Tt is true that the
cut last year was slightly heavier than in 1897,
but the decline in production for the seven-year
period named has been approximately 50 per
cent. In former years practically all of the
slabs went into lath, but of late much of this
material has been utilized for other by-products,
while the introduction of improved methods
and machinery has materially reduced the slab
output of the average saw mill.

“These are some of the reasons for high prices
in the Jath market, and were the only depend-
ence of the future upon white pine lath it is not
likely that the prices would be much lower.
But already the situation has brought about a
greatly increased use of hemlock, cypress and
yellow pine lath. It is likely that values will
remain firm during the winter, but hardly prob-
able that the present basis of prices will be
maintained through another building season.
This seems to be the universal opinion among
manufacturers and wholesale dealers, and prob-
ably is the correct one. At any rate, lath of
every kind are considered mighty good property,
and no one is worrying about not being able to
dispose of the stock on hand at present prices.”

Concerning the market, Messrs. Churchill &

This rise is already a fact ; buyers are eager to
Sim say :

begin fresh purchases, and shippers are in a

difficulty as to how to ask enough for their
supplies for 1900. Whatever they ask, in
reason, it seems fairly certain they will get,
and it behoves buyers, therefore, to bear in
mind that a further heavy addition to an al-
ready high level of first cost will make wood
somethin’ of a luxury. The country is in-
volved in an arduous war, which will continue
to disturb the freight and the money markets
for some time to come, even if no further
political complications occur, as it is most
probable they will not. It is essentially a
time to be careful, to shorten sail, and to buy
less rather than more than sufficient for prob-
able requirements, being content to make less
money, by the exercise of prudence, if, as
seems likely, all continues to go well, rather
than to risk the contrary possibility.”

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

The movement of lumber during the
past week has been very heavy. There
have been more cars available, and retail
dealers are stocking up liberally in antici-
pation of a steady winter trade. While a
falling off in the demand during the next
two months may naturally be expected,
the conditions which have existed this
season are favorable to a considerable
trade throughout the winter months. The
lumber which has been shipped to pro-
vincial points has very largely gone into
consumption, so great have been the
manufacturing and building requirements.
There are also signs that this manufactur-
ing and building activity will continue
throughout the winter, but of course in a
lesser degree. This being the case, there
seems likely to be a fair movement of
stock during the winter period. Prices
on foreign specifications are slightly
higher than they were one year ago.

Since last issue lumber quotations have
not changed in the main, although a slight
tendency is reported in the direction of
still higher prices for the lower grades.
Shingle prices also remain unchanged,
but a further advance has taken placein the
price of pine lath, which is now selling in
Toronto on the basis of $3.50 for No. 1.
Everybody seems to be looking for lath,
ana in the face of an almost exhausted
supply, prices have continued to soar up-
wards. The only change in the hard-
wood market is an advance of about one
dollar per thousand in maple.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,

The shipping season from the St. Law-
rence will close in a few days, only one or
two vessels having yet to sail. The
lumber business is settling down to a
winter basis, the local demand showing a
falling off within the past week. Ship-
ments of lumber will be made from New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia to the West
Indies and South America for some time
to come, as there is a large quantity sold
and waiting shipment. Spruce laths and
cedar shingles for the United States are
much enquired for. Quotations of shing-
les have advanced about five cents, being
now $3.25 to $3.30 on Boston rate of
freight.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Mild weather prevails throughout west-
ern Canada, and consequently more out-
side work is in progress than is usual at
this season of the year. Lumber is mov-
ing liberally and no complaints of dullness
in trade are made. In British Columbia
cities building operations are still pro-
gressing with considerable activity. The
generally higher prices of lumber have
induced loggers to advance the price
of logs, but if the present conditions in the
lumber trade continue manufacturers will
not be seriously affected by this step.

UNITED STATES.

Lumber is not moving as actively as it
was a few weeks ago. Nevertheless,
there is a steady trade doing. Owing to
a decline in freight rates, considerable
lumber has been moved of late from Lake
Superior points to the eastern market,
and dealers will go into the winter with
about an average stock of pine. Most of
the dealers have a small quantity of the
lower grades, but perhaps a larger supply
of the better qualities. The greatest
demand continues to be for box and
barn boards, and it is predicted that
grades of these qualities will undergo a
further advance during the winter months.
Many of the yards will be sold out of
these grades early in January. A slight
shading of prices of shaky clear, shaky
dressing and inch pine common’is re-
ported from Buffalo and Tonawanda, but
as the stock is becoming reduced it is not
expected that this weakening will be per-
manent.

Spruce lumber shows firmness, and
dealers at Boston are holding to prices.
It is estimated that the supply of spruce
in the hands of manufacturers and whole-
salers is less than 50 per cent. of that ot
one year ago. Spruce clapboards are

aalic

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

showing rather unaccountable signs of
weakness, probably due to an increased
production.

A falling off in consumptive demand is
the only change in the hardwood situation,
scarcity of dry stock being about as pro-
nounced as ever. Ash and basswood are
leaders in demand, but maple and elm
are more plentiful. At Buffalo thick
maple sells at from $28 to $30.

FOREIGN.

Taken altogether, the tone of the Brit-
ish timber market is decidedly firm.
Cargoes of wood goods are still being re-
ceived, but the greatest interest centres in
contracts for next year’s supplies. We
have not learned of any contracts of im-
portance being placed with shippers of
Canadian lumber, but as a considerable
business has been done in Baltic goods, it
is quite probable that some contracts have
been entered into for Canadian pine and
spruce. The contracts placed for White
Sea goods represent an advance of from
20 to 30 shillings per standard in com-
parison with last year’s prices. It is not
expected, however, that Canadian lumber
generally will command a similar advance,
but it is quite probable that prices will be
higher all round and that spruce in par-
ticular will realize comparatively high
prices. Spruce and pine deals are now
very firm. At a recent sale held in Lon-
don first quality spruce sold at £8 5s. for
6oft, 27,5 and) at (23) for 6 tthe xo:
Two lots of 3x9 second spruce sold at
£8 15s., and a parcel of first quality Que-
bec oak, ex Highfield, at £5 to £5 5s. per
load. In some Irish ports there is a
scarcity of Norway flooring, and it is
thought that Quebec flooring will be pur-
chased more freely in the future.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
The barque Luarca has completed
loading lumber at Weymouth, N.S., for
Buenos Ayres.

The C. Beck Manufacturing Co., of
Penetanguishene, Ont., have over 200
men in the woods getting out logs.

The shingle mill of the Parry Sound
Lumber Co. closed down last week, after
having cut 11,000,000 shingles during the
season.

Chas. Burrill & Co., of Weymouth,
N.S., have-shipped this season 750,000 feet
of lumber that had been on their wharves
for three years.

The Newville Lumber Co., of Parrsboro,
N.S., are shipping from that port to New
York large quantities of pine and spruce
lumber and laths.

Log run lumber is quoted at Saginaw,
Mich., at from $16 to $25. Box stock is
worth $14 to $16, mill culls $12 to $14,
and Norway $12 to $18.

It is stated that between seven and ten
million feet of logs will be cut along the
line of the St. Martin’s railway in New
Brunswick this winter.

The schooner Etta A. Simpson cleared
from St. John, N.B., last week for Barba-
dos, West Indies, with a cargo of lumber,
shipped by A. Cushing & Co.

Wm. Peter, of Parry Sound, is this
winter taking out 18,000,000 feet of logs,
which will be sawn at the Parry Sound
mill. The McKinley-Wood Lumber Co.,
who have a small mill near Parry Sound,
expect to saw 2,500,000 feet next season.

The well-known firm of E. D. Davison
& Sons; Limited, of Bridgewater, N.S.,
have finished sawing 15,000,000 feet of
pine and-spruce. They have shipped
about the same quantity, leaving 5,000,000
feet in pile, mostly sold waiting for ship-
ment.

G. Niebergall & Son have purchased
from Curry & McGregor, of Windsor,

Ont., the timber on the lands of the
Walker Estate. There are about 600
acres, and the timber will keep the mills
at Camp Palmer busy for the next two
years.

The estimate of the proposed cut of
logs on the St. Croix river, in Maine,
this winter is 40,000,000 feet, as against
25,000,000 feet last winter. The cut on
the Penobscot river is estimated at
170,000,000 feet, or 30,000,000 feet more
than last year.

The Yale & Columbia Lumber Co.,
Limited, has been organized, it being a
consolidation of all the saw mills of Yale
and Kootenay, in British Columbia. R.
P. Genelle, of Rossland, is to be manu-
facturing manager, and Mr. Poupoie
financial manager.

Thompson Smith’s Sons, of Cheboygan,
Mich., have started operation on their
limits on Birch Island, Algoma, and will
take out a considerable quantity of tim-
ber. The logs will be cut on Indian
reserve lands and will be taken to Che-
boygan for manufacture.

There 1s likely to be a great scarcity of
shingles of every variety this winter.
Most of the shingle mills are shut down,
and eastern wholesale dealers have
unusually light stocks. Sales at Buffalo
are being made on the basis of $4 for
best 18 inch pine.

A Michigan firm are, it is reported,
looking over the timber limits and saw
mill of Moore & Macdowall, at Prince
Albert, N.W.T., with a view to purchase.
This is one of the largest saw mills in the
Territories, in connection with which there
are valuable spruce limits.

About three weeks ago the Stevens
Lumber Co., of Woodstock, N.B., at-
tempted to take down their logs from the
Big Machais, where they have been hung
up since last spring. There is 5,000,000
feet in the drive. After working several
days they were compelled to give up the
task. The drive was gotten down as far
as Ashland, but is still 60 miles from the
mill.

The Herrmann Lumber Company, of
New York, have just ciosed a contract
with Armour & Charlebois, of Hull, for the
purchase of the cut of hardwood timber at
the Wakefield mill of the latter firm. The
quantity is about 1,000,000 feet, and the
contract price is understood to represent
an advance of about 20 per cent. on last
year’s prices. Bailey Bros., of Aylmer,
Que., have also sold tothe Herrmann
Company large quantities of hardwood
timber, chiefly birch, elm, maple and ash.

E. F. Stephenson, Crown Timber
Agent at Winnipeg, states that the quan-
tity of lumber cut last season was fully
twenty-five per cent. greater than in any
previous year. The quantity of logs cut
in Northern Minnesota and floated down
the Rainy River was 37,000,000 feet,
while that cut on the Canadian side was
45,000,000. Of this total of $2,000,000
feet, it is said that 77,000,000 feet has
already been disposed of, which leaves
an unusually small quantity in the yards.
There were cut during the season between
Rat Portage and Fort William over
800,000 ties.

ENQUIRIES FOR WOOD PRO JUCTS.
The following were among the enquiries
relating to Canadian trade received at the
office of the High Commissioner for
Canada in London, Eng., during the two
weeks ended November 17th:

4. An Trish firm ask for the name of firms
who supply wood cut to sizes for boxes.

2. A Liverpool house doing a general im-
porting and exporting trade in produce and
manufactures is ready to consider proposals
for handling Canadian goods, and wifl act as
purchasing or sales agent for one or two good
firms.

8. Walnut boards of good quality, and
wooden screws, are required in considerable
quantities by a London firm.

4. Enquiry is made for firms in Canada
who would supply cheap wood mantel-pieces
to be sent over in a knock down condition.

Canadian manufacturers may open up
correspodence with any of the firms

making the above enquiries by addressing
a letter to the publishers of the CANADA
LUMBERMAN, by whom it will be forward-
ed. When writing refer to the number of
the enquiry.

BUILT-UP VENEER BOARDS WANTED.

A manufacturing company in Great Britain
with an extensive connection are desirous of im-
porting from Canada built-up veneer boards.
They use a large quantity of boards of this class,
which at present are largely imported from
Russia. Manufacturers in a positiun to supply
such are asked to send details as to the capa-
city of production, price, etc., to the publish-
ers of the‘‘CANADA LUMBERMAN,” by whom
it will be forwarded to our correspondents.

THE EASTERN STATES MARKETS.

In the New York market pine mill culls are
quoted at $20, although it is said that few
sales are being made at this figure. Perhaps
$18 would be nearer the actual market price.
Comparing this with the price obtainable in
recent years, which was $8 to $9 per thousand,
an idea may be obtained of the tone of the
pine market. Spruce in New York is selling
freely, and there are no unsold cargoes on the
market. Eastern cargoes of wide stuff sell
readily at prices ranging from $20 to $24,
with two inch cargoes held at $17 to $19.
Cargo lath have lately arrived rather more
freely, but the market has absorbed all offer-
ings readily, and is quite steady at $3.10 to
$3.15.

From Boston comes the report that practi-
cally all of the river mills in the east have been
shut down. There is an undercurrent of
activity in building circles which promises an
active season during the winter months. Lath
and shingles are sold ahead of the saws and are
very firm in price, but clapboards continue dull.
Uppers and selects in pine are a trifle slow,
but almost any other grade from a fine common
down to mill cull is wanted.

Tlaines & Co., of Buffalo, have lately re-
ceived large consignments of white pine shingles
from the Georgian Bay, as well as red cedars
from the coast.

THE BARBADOS MARKET.

Of the Barbados lumber market Messrs.
Clairmonte, Mann & Co., in their circular
dated November rith, say:

There have been three arrivals with white
lumber during the fortnight, all of which have
been sold for other markets. The local de-
mand for both white pine and spruce has fallen
off, but there will be a better enquiry forthe latter
about the end of the year. Last local sales were—
white pine, $22 for first quality and $17 for
second quality ; spruce at $17.50 for first
quality, and $13.50 for second quality. The
cargo of spruce, ex Maiden City, referred to
in our previous reports, has not been sold.

SHINGLES.—Gaspe cedar in supply; we —

note the importation of ~835,000 ex Neva,
sales at $8.50. Cedar laying, $2.57 ; spruce

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS,
ONTARIO.

The number of new buildings that have
been commenced late this season is much
larger than has been known for some
yéars past. The result of this cannot but
be beneficial to the lumbertrade. It will
assist in maintaining a steady demand for
lumber throughout the winter months,
During’ the past week the -market has
shown no signs of weakness. Buyers
report great difficulty in locating desirable
stock, as manufacturers have very little
unsold lumber in their yards, and many
of them have sold far ahead. It is
almost an impossibility to purchase any
quantity of box lumber, and box makers
who have not purchased in advance of
immediate requirements will find them-
selves in an uncomfortable position before
spring. The advance in tke price of box

lumber has been followed by higher’

prices for boxes, the increase being about
50 per cent.

The lath situation has not been re-
lieved to any extent. No. 1 lath ranges
from $3.50 to $3.75 wholesale in Toronto,
and No. 2 is quoted at $2.75. Although
no change has been made in our quota-
tions on shingles, we believe the prices
which manufacturers are asking would
warrant a still further advance in whole-
sale prices.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Extensive preparations have been made
in the eastern provinces to obtain a large
supply of logs for next season’s operations,
and it is probable that the production of
pine, spruce and hardwood lumber next
season wil] be larger than in the past sea-
son. The condition of the trade at the
present time is such as to encourage an
increased cut. The manufacturers, with
scarcely an exception, have disposed of
their season’s production, and are being
offered contracts for next year at very
satisfactory prices. It is expected that
the British demand will remain firm
throughout next season, while an in-

creased market in the Eastern States may ~

reasonably be looked for.

The shipping returns of the exports of
lumber to the United Kingdom and con-
tinental ports from Montreal show a de-
crease of over 41,000,000 feet as compared
with the season of 1898. It 1s possible,
however, that while the exports of Montreal
were smaller, this fallling off may be more
than made up by increased shipments
from other ports.

UNITED STATES.

The position of the lumber business of
the United States is one which is causing
buyers much concern. Prices are ad-
mittedly very high, and the question for
the dealer to decide is whether he should
contract for supplies for next. year at
present quotations or wait until the spring
in the hope of being able to make more
favorable terms with manufacturers.
In the case of white pine, it is believed
that the better grades will not weaken
next year, but competition from the
southern production may bring down the
present prices of mill culls and low grade
stock. This is not expected, however,
until after sawing operations have been
commenced and the dry lumber comes
on the market. In hardwoods the situa-
tion is a little different. Usually there is
a considerable quantity in the wholesale
yards and at the mills, but this year the
production has gone into consumption
almost as rapidly as it was ready for
shipment. This will probably be the
experience next year. Nor can the
southern woods take the place of many
of thenorthern hardwoods. Considering
these facts, the prospect is that, with a
continuance of the present activity in
general manufacturing lines, the hard-
wood market will lose none of its strength
next season.

The demand for both pine and hard-
wood lumber has fallen off slightly during
the past week, but short stocks are still
the rule. In the lower grades of pine
and in oak, ash and basswood this short-
age is most pronounced. There is a
good demand for maple, but the supply is
more plentiful than that of many of the
other woods. Spruce continues to
strengthen as the weeks go by, and prices
are being firmly maintained. The clap-
board market is dull and lifeless, but
shingles and lath are constantly enquired
for and advancing in price.

Finnish whitewood, 2x6%, has been

show no disposition to weaken in their

Long lengths in spruce are much en-

had been hung up.

Wm. O'Neill, of St. Martins, N.B., will
operate four rotary mills during the winter,
and expects to cut between four and five
million feet of deals.

At the crown lands office, Fredericton,
N. B., a berth of 2% miles, located at
Clarendon, Charlotte county, was sold to
Smith Bros. at $151 per mule.

D. Bailey, who operates a saw mill near
Columbia, B. C., has been given a con-
tract to saw 1,500,000 feet of lumber for a
flume to be built in connection with the
Granby smelter.

J. L. McKay, of Golden, B. C., is
taking out 4,000,000 feet of first-class larch

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

BUFFALO AND TONAWANDA.
[Correspondence of the Canapa LumBERMAN.]

There is no letting up in the firm condition
of the lumber market, as nobody should
know better than the Canadian lumberman.
Every report from that side of the line is to
the effect that the asking price there is stiffer
than our most inflexible mill man dares to put
on his cut, and, moreover, the position is
backed up by a dock that is bare of any lum-
ber but the greenest, and in some cases so
much of even that sold that no more sales will
be booked. It looks as though the $2 tariff
not did kill the lumber trade of Canada after
all.

There is a great scarcity of box lumber yet,
and from all reports it is not Canada that is
likely to help us out on that line, for the
Standard Oil Company, which runs its big
box factory in Oswego mainly on Canadian
box lumber, is said to be very short and
obliged to buy of its local competitors.

This is not to say that our box companies
are short, for such is not generally the case.
They looked out for themselves, and the result
is that they are about the only ones who are
well fixed in that direction. Still, even they
are not feeling so very easy over the situation,
for it is not disclosed where they are to get the
next supply, nor how much they are to pay for
it. Another source of uneasiness is the fact
that they have made most of their season’s
profits on lumber that did not cost nearly as
much as it would now, so there must be a
very material pushing up of the price of boxes
before there can be a continuation of this sea-
son’s profits.

We are looking to Canada anxiously’ for
shingles, but the supply of them is not what it
ought to be anywhere, and Canada is not ap-
parently any better off on them than we are.
So many shingle mills are idle or have been
set to sawing out straight lumber, as being
more profitable, that it 1s impossible to keep
the stock of shingles up. All sorts are short.

There is still a more easy state of things in
the hardwood yards than in pine, and all be-
cause the hardwood dealer became alarmed
over the conditions and was obliged to go to
buying his own timber. He was willing to go
to Canada for hardwood and pay the duty, and
did so just as long as there was any to be had,
but the hardwood men have all left that section
now and, for a wonder, the pine men, who were
driven out by the tariff, are back there again,
eager for anything in the shape of lumber.
Considering the amount of condescension this
indicates, there really ought to be less stiff-
neckedness on prices. We were awfully sorry,
too, to note that the Canadian mill man
was aware of the advance in prices as soon as
we were, so that there was no chance for
any neighborly buying on the quiet over there
before the situation got out.

Well, there is no more tariff talk. That is
some consolation, and if some of the people
who went out of the business here because
their interests all happened to be in Canadian
timber are not sorry they gave it up, then
most folks are mistaken. One thing is sure,
some of those who did very little for a time,
the Holland & Emery Company, . for instance,
are hard at work now, developing their timber
and apparently doing well.

There is some talk of a decline in pine lum-
ber, but it all comes either from the consumer
or the dealer, who holds that prices are higher
than they should be and thinks that he could
do better if they had not gone so high. Itisa
clear impossibility t2 come down now, or at
all for that matter, unless business generally
slows down a good deal. There is demand
enough to keep lumber moving and it will
continue until other branches of business
are injured in some way. And this is not
looked for.

This market is going into winter with a full
stock, except that it is likely to turn out that
some sorts and grades are not up to the aver-
age. Nearly all the Norway is in a few hands
and the low grade pine is not plentiful. Shing-
les cannot be made to carry us more than
barely through the winter, and in hardwoods
there is a great scarcity in ash and basswood.
The shortage is made up somewhere, for Tona-
wanda is calling attention to her big stock, and
it looks now as though Buffalo would have
quite as much as last winter.

There is nothing very novel in the situation
here. The retirement of the Superior Lumber
Company marks the only change of late. So
far no one appears to be ready to take the
company’s yard off its hands.

At Tonawanda the consolidation of Swan &
Donogh and Calkins & Co. into the Swan-
Donogh Lumber Company has been followed
by the setting up of a box factory by the com-
pany in the Calkins mill, which was for some
time till lately occupied by F. I. Alliger in the
same business, the latter having not long ago
moved into a box factory of his own.

The R. Laidlaw Company has now made
definite arrangements to move from the Erie
basin to the Ohio basin, where there will be
more room, turning the old yard over to
Montgomery Bros. & Co., who had a very
muck smaller yard than they needed. The
Laidlaw yard is not so full of lumber as it was
last fall, though the amount is liberal. The
prospect of moving and the high freights in-
duced the company to leave quite a large
amount in upper lake yards till spring.

Haines & Co. are congratulating themselves
on the big lot of shingles they bought in the
Midland district late in the season, the last, a
cargo of about 4,000,000, being just in. From
that same district comes the report that lath is
held for $3.25 at the mills, a price that sets
people to wondering how houses can be built
any more.

Quite a large delegation of our hardwood
dealers went to the National convention at
Memphis, Messrs. Scatcherd, Vetter and
others remaining afterwards to look after their
timber and mills beyond that city.

THE BOSTON MARKET.

[Correspondence of the CANADA LuUMBERMAN.]

SpRUCE.—The market for spruce lumber
holds firm, with very little change in prices.
The arrivals of cargoes of late have been small,
which makes the car lumber in better demand,
and we look for a brisk demand through the
winter for all grades of spruce. The combina-
tion prices are being adhered to as the demand

aks

is larger than the supply. We quote :

SHINGLES.—Shingles hold prices well, as
they have keen scarce all the season, and no

has been a good many of the California red-

has kept the prices on cedars from going

SHIPPING MATTERS.
The lumber freight rate from St. John,
N.B., to New Vork is now $3.25. The rate
on laths has dropped to $3.

Very little tonnage 1s available for lumber
cargoes for South America. Freights are on
the basis of $9 from Boston to Buenos Ayres,
$9.50 from Portland, and $10.50 from New
Brunswick and Nova Scetia ports. The
barque Alexander Black gets $10 on lumber
from Boston to Rosario. :

desires to purchase 10,000,000 feet of spruce or

MICHIGAN VIEW OF THE LOG DECISION.

The Saginaw correspondent of the American
Lumberman thus refers to the decision of Jus-
tice Street in the suit brought by the Michi-
gan lumbermen against the Ontario govern-
ment :

There is much feeling expressed over the ad-
verse decision of the Canadian court in the suit
brought to test the constitutionality of the On-

tario log embargo act. It is understood the
matter is to be appealed to the Privy Council.
It is also likely that a strong effort will be
made to influence the Joint High Commission
to'reach an adjustment of the matter. It will
bear heavily upon Saginaw river lumbermen
who have started camps in Canada and are
putting in logs in the expectation that there
would be some arrangement reached which

would enable them to bring their logs over.
Unless this is brought about in some way, the
only logs that will come over next season will
be stock cut on Indian reserve lands and from
deeded Jands over which the Ontario govern-
ment has no jurisdiction. This year there has
been only about 75,000,000 feet rafted across,
and some of these were old logs cut before the
law prohibiting rafting was operative.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Navigation on the lakes 1s now prac-
tically closed, and the movement of lum-
ber is confined to rail shipments. There
is a steady trade doing in this way, as
manufacturers and dealers have not yet
caught up with orders placed in the fall,
but which could not then be filled owing
to an insufficient supply of cars. The
open weather has also encouraged the
demand. If any change in the situation
shonld be reported, it is in the direction
of higher prices and greater scarcity of
low grade pine. The manufacturers are
unable to meet the demand for box
lumber, the supply of which has passed
into the hands of wholesale dealers and
box manufacturers, and by the latter the
better grades are being purchased. There
is & more plentiful stock of the upper
grades, but on the whole it 1s many years
since the yards have been so nearly
cleaned out. These remarks apply alike
to pine, hardwoods, shingles and lath.
In. the latter there is almost a famine,
and in the Georgian Bay district those
who have any stock are asking $3.25 at
mill for No. 1. Dealers in Toronto re-
port numerous inquiries for basswood
and ash lumber for shipment to the
Eastern States. Ps

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Several transactions in spruce are re-
ported to have taken place which show
the strength of that lumber. It is under-
stood that Messrs. H. R. Goodday & Co.,
of Quebec, have contracted for the cut of
several mills, including the well-known
Breakey stock, which represents about
15,000,000 feet. Messrs. Dobell, Beckett
& Co., Burstall & Co. and W. & J.
Sharples are also believed to have pur-
chased several Quebec cuts, and on the
whole business is progressing favorably.
While the prices have been kept quiet,
those who pretend to know state that they
are considerably higher than last year’s
prices. This is probably true, as spruce
has improved wonderfully of late in the
British market. The Maritime province
production has also been contracted for to
some extent, according to reports, and at
prices from three to four dollars higher
than were paid for the past season’s cut.
The mill men are in unusually good
spirits, and look forward to a busy year in
1900. Most of the shingle mills are closed
down, and there are very few shingles to
move. For cedar, the price for No. 1
quality is $3.15 to $3.25, taking Boston
rate of freight.

UNITED STATES,

Although there has been a visible fall-
ing off in the demand for lumber through-
out the Eastern States, the market does
not seem to have weakened jn the
sightest degree. Retayldealers and con-
sumers are acting on the theory that

prices will not advance during the winter
months, and that in the spring there is
a probability that values will be lower.
The manufacturers and wholesalers, on
the other hand, contend that, while there
is no expectation of a further general
advance, it is quite probable that some
grades will be marked higher before
spring. One point in favor of the main-
tenance of present prices is the fact that
contracts are being placed for next sea-
son’s cut at current quotations, which in-
dicates a good deal of confidence in the
future of the market.

Buffalo and Tonawanda _ wholesale
yards are fairly well stocked with pine,
though some grades, such as box, No. 2
and No. 3 cuts and uppers, are in lighter
supply. than usual, as the box mikers
have been buying very heavily. Cutting-
up stock is very scarce in the Tona-
wanda market. Throughout the New
England States pine is rather quiet, but
there is a steady movement of spruce,
which is unusually firm. In New York
city the demand exceeds the available
supply. Ofg and to-inch, 13-foot lengths,
very little is to be had, and almost any
pricecan be obtained. Spruce clapboards
show little life.

In the hardwood market there has
arisen an extraordinary demand for bass-
wood, due to some extent to the scarcity
of poplar and cottonwood. ‘There is an
easier feeling in elm and less complaint
of scarcity of oak, but no prospect of
lower prices.

FOREIGN.

The tone of the British wood market is
very firm. For stocks on hand high
prices are being asked, and most buyers
are accepting them without a murmur,
as indications point to still higher prices
before next spring. Business for next
year is promising. Some sales of spruce
are recorded, but in pine there seems to
be a disposition to wait in the hope that
importers will weaken in their prices.
But this can scarcely be expected except
in the case of lumber for late summer
or fall delivery, when there is a_possi-
bility that lower values will rule.

At London Ist quality spruce is sell-
ing at £10 Ios. 2nd quality at £9
5s. to £9 Ios, and 3x9g 3rd at £9. At
Glasgow Quebec white pine deals of
first quality, broad dimensions, now sell
at £26 2s. 6d. to £27 3s., which is an
advance of about 103. as compared with
one month ago. Nearly every kind of
square and waney timber has also ad-
vanced, as will be seen by the prices
published in another column. Birch
timber is wanted, and brings 1s. 7d. to
Is. Od. per cubic foot for 14 and 15-inch
average, and ts. I1d. to 2s. for 16-inch.

PERSONAL.

Mr. F. B. Budgett, of the firm of Budgett
Bros., timber importers, London, England,
expects to arrive at the Queen’s Hotel, Toronto,
about the r4th inst., where he will remain for
a few days for the purpose of giving lumber
manufacturers and exporters an opportunity to
callupon him. His firm acts as agents for,
and also buy outright, all kinds of wood goods,
both rough and manufactured.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.

[Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN,]

After an unusually busy and prosperous sea-
son, the mills in the immediate vicinity of
Ottawa have closed down, and operations are
now transferred to the limits. The prospects
for 1900 are bright, as Canadian lumber is in
great demand at advanced prices in both the
English and American markets. Lath, for
instance, has advanced from 62% cents to
$2.50 per thousand, while mill owners and
jobbers predict that this article will sell much
higher before next season’s cutting operations
commence. There is a famine in lath in the
American market, and the Canadian cut
fetches its own price. Ottawa dealers for the
first time are shipping lath to remote points in
Pennslyvania and the New England States.
The supply of lath in the Ottawa district will,
it is admitted, fall short of the American de-
mand. Shingles are also a ruling factor in the
lumber trade.

The marked activity in American manufac-
turing centres has created a steady and in-
creased demand for the cheaper grades of
Canadian lumber, but as prices did not ad-
vance till well on in the season, the Ottawa
mill owners are not as far ahead as the in-
crease in business would lead one to expect.
Prices in the English markets have advanced
during the year from § to 25 per \cent. The
business done has also shown a marked ir-
crease. Thus, Watson & Todd, the Liverpool
importers of Canadian lumber, have bought
56,000,000 feet of Canadian deals this year,
whereas last season only 44,000,000 feet were
secured. This firm purchased heavily from
the W. C. Edwards Co., the Hull Lumber Go:;
and Bronson & Weston, The firm of Robert
Cox & Co. has, however, not bought so ex-
tensively. The trade done by the Export Lum-
ber Co. and other Ottawa companies with South
American ports | as also been better than it was
last year. So heavy have the purchases for the
British and American markets been, that scarce-
ly any lumber can be secured in the Ottawa
mill yards for the local trade, and builders are
pressed hard for the necessary material.

Wages of lumbermen’ are higher, but the
present influx of mill hands, consequent upon
the closing of the mills, will have a tendency
to lower them. More men have been sent
into the Georgian Bay district than. last year,
but the number is not increased to any extent
in other districts. The open fall has favored
the lumbermen, and should the winter bea
good one for lumbering operations, the supply
of logs next season will be large. Greater
areas of limits are being worked this year
to fill the increased mill contracts.

W. C. Edwards & Co. have just shipped to
the Paris Exposition the show cases for the
Canadian exhibits. There are in all 2,000
feet of cases, making five carloads. They are
built of British Columbia cedar, Douglas fir
and larch, and white pine from Eastern
Canada. The woods have been polished and
grained, and in themselves will be an appro-
priate advertisement for Canada.

D’Amour & Charlebois, lamber dealers, of
Hull, intend to enlarge their planing mill
shortly. The addition will be a two storey
one, 100 feet by 30 feet. In it will be placed
new rip and band saws, and machinery for
box manufacturing. Part will also be used for
storage. purposes. This year the firm have
turned out 150,000 boxes of different sizes for
the Canadian market, and estimates have
been furnished on another large contract.

The present war in South Africa has inter-
fered considerably with the Canadian lumber
trade. The firm of Davidson & Thackray, of
this city, which regularly sent shipments of
doors, sashes, etc., to Cape Town, Newcastle,
Johannesburg and Petermaritzburg, has been
compelled to desist owing to the war and the
absence of ocean carrying facilities, and can
now only ship to Cape Town. All building
operations are, Of course, at a standstill in the
Tran:vaal, but it is expected that when the
war is over, and Britain’s supremacy proven,
a new and profitable market will be establish-
ed in South Africa for Canadian lumber, both
mill and manufactured. The close of the pre-
sent desultory struggle in the Phillipines will
also indirectly benefit the Canadian lumber
trade, through the Americans who will de-
velop their new found possessions.

Ald. Jas. Davidson, a member of the firm
of Davidson & Thackray, lumber dealers, will
makea business trip to England early in theyear.

The high prices reigning in the lumber market
will, it is expected, encvurage the owners
of small stationary and portable mills to take a
hand in the business again. In the Ottawa
valley these operators are hiring men for their
limits, and many mills which have been idle
for years will start up again. :

Last week after closing the Hull mills, the
Hull Lumber Co. sent a gang of mill hands
with teams to join the

on the Kippewa river above Mattawa. The

choppers on the limits.

Hull mills were closed for six weeks during
the season owing to the non-arrival of logs.
J. R. Booth’s and Gilmour & Hughson’s mills
ran steadily all season,.and shipped more
lumber than ever. All the cut now in the
yards is already sold, while some mill owners
have sold their next year’s cut at present prices.

During the past year the Ottawa Lumber
Co. has handled over 5,000,000 feet of deals
alone. Its expected that between 8,000,000
and 10,000,000 feet will be handled during the
coming season. This firm is taking out large
quantities of ash, elm, birch and other hard-
woods, with which its limits on the Rouge
river are well stocked. Access was only
secured to these limits a couple of years ago
by the extension of a colonization railroad.

The E. B. Eddy Co., of Hull, has a suffi-
cient supply of pulpwood on hand to keep its
paper mills running all winter, but neverthe-
less a shortage in the general supply of pulp-
wood is looked for, as the logs could not all
be floated down to the mills.

A gentleman interested in lumber matters,
who recently visited the Hawkesbury Lumber
Co.’s limits on the Dumoine river, states that
the timber there is as plentiful and of as good
a quality as it was 38 years ago, despite the
fact that cutting operations have been steadily
carried on since. This he attributes. to the
rapid giowth of the pine and the systematic
cutting done.

In Davidson & Thackray’s planing mill at
Ottawa over 8,000,000 feet of lumber was
used during the season. This firm has also a
saw mill at Quyon, Que., and on its limits on
the Quyon and Coulonge rivers 100 men are
now working. Last summer a large addition,
66 by 80 feet, was added to the Ottawa factory
for storage purposes. The new building is a
three storey one, solid brick, and built
throughout with hardwood floors.

During the entire winter season a supply of
logs will. be brought to J. R. Booth’s
mills at Ottawa, by train over the Canada
Ailantic Railway from the Parry Sound and
adjacent districts. This will insure a supply of
logs for the opening cut at the mill next spring.

TIMBER LIMIT TRANSACTION.

Fraser & Co., of Ottawa, have disposed of
their timber limits lying between the Coulonge
and Crow rivers, containing about 250 square
miles, to the Gillies Bros. Co., of Braeside,Ont.
These limits are mostly covered with a dense
growth of large pine, and are exceptionally
well watered by numerous ‘‘ drivable” creeks
flowing from a central part to the main
streams, making the haul very short. The
Gillies Bros. Co. take over the logging opera-
tions which were in progress at time of sale.
The price has not been made known. Fraser
& Co. purchased these limits from Alexander
Fraser in 1896. They are now putting in
supplies on some limits they own between the
Coulonge and Black rivers, and expect to
operate next season. 7

GOVERNMENT SALE OF TIMBER LIMITS.

Another important sale of timber limits was
held by the Ontario government on Wednes-
day, December 2oth, in the legislative chamber
at the Parliament Buildings, Toronto. There
were present upwards of 125 lumbermen from
the various districts of the province, as well as
representatives from Michigan. The limits

- offered comprised an area of 398% square

miles, situated in the Algoma, Nipissing and
Rainy River districts. Some of the lots offered
had been burned over, thus decreasing the
value of the timber. Of the total area 360
square miles were disposed of, for which there
were realized $719,350, or nearly $2,000 per
square mile. Considering the quality of the
limits, the result of the sale is highly satisfac-
tory. The auctioneer was Mr. Peter Ryan.
The highest price paid was $8,500 per mile,
for an area of 9 miles in the township of Nor-
man, Nipissing district, the purchaser being G.
G. S. Lindsey, of Toronto, on behalf of a
client. Thos. Mackie, of Pembroke, was the
heaviest purchaser, securing two -of the most
valuable limits, at a total of $108,000. Fol-
lowing is the result of the sale in detail :

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

Most of the large pine mills in the Ot-
tawa valley and the Georgian Bay districts
have closed down for the season, but this
does not mean that the movement of
lumber has ceased. Retail dealers are
still buying to some extent, although a lull
in the demand is expected during the
holiday season. As yet, however, no
signs of a falling off have been visible.
As the weeks advance the scarcity of low
grade stock becomes intensified, and the
volume of business is being restricted as
a result. There isa more plentiful supply
of the upper grades, which have not
shown as much strength as common lum-
ber. The impossibility of obtaining the
lower grades will, however, compel con-
sumers to use a better quality of lumber
for their various purposes. This will in
turn give a firmer tone to the upper
grades and probably bring about a slight
advance in prices. Export business 1s
progressing favorably, and several large
deals in the Ottawa valley district are re-
ported to be pending. The cut of W. C.
Edwards & Co.’s mills has been purchased
by Watson & Todd.

There does not seem to be much life to
the shingle trade, the demand having
fallen off during the past week. In lath
the reverse condition has been ex-
perienced. There are numerous orders
on file which will probably remain un-
filled, owing to the scarcity of the material.
There has been an advance of about 25
cents, No. 1 selling in Toronto at whole-
sale at $3.75 and No. 2 at $3.00.

In the northern pine districts logging
Operations are in full force. Sufficient
snow has fallen to permit of hauling the
logs. The production in the Georgian
Bay district will no doubt be very heavy,
and in the Ottawa valley it is likely to be
slightly larger than last season.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Lumber manufacturers in Quebec are
likely to realize more per thousand feet
for their production of next year than they
received for their cut of 1899. Contracts
are understood to have been made for

some mill cuts at slightly advanced prices
as compared with the figures of one year
ago. Square and waney timber 1s also
very firm, and while the prices for last
season’s production remain unchanged,
contracts are believed to have been made
for next season’s production at higher
figures. Birch timber is now quoted in
the Quebec market at 17 cents to 18 cents
for 14-inch average, 22 to 23 cents for 16-
inch, 26 to 27 cents for 17-inch, and 30
cents for 18-inch.

The deal shipments
wick and Nova Scotia to Great Britain
are practically over for the season. Some
of the ports in both provinces show a
falling off as compared with the shipments
of the previous year, but this decrease will
be more than made up by the larger ship-
ments to South America and the West
Indies, which markets have been un-
usually active this season. Work in the
woods has progressed very favorably, and
unless prevented by weather conditions,
a large cut of logs will be made in New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia this winter.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Manufacturers and retailers throughout
Manitoba and the Territories report a
very satisfactory trade for this season of
the year. While the cut of the mills has
been heavy, stocks in the yards are con-
siderably below the average. Already
preparations are being made for an active
building season next year. This, coupled
with the increased cost of logging opera-
“tions, will not only maintain lumber prices
at their present basis, but it is quite
probable that higher prices will rule next
season.

The mills in British Columbia are oper-
ating to their full capacity cn export and
local orders. A condition in the export
trade which is causing manufacturers
some anxiety is the scarcity of tonnage.
It is almost impossible to secure vessels,
and as high as 80s has been offered for
the United Kingdom. It is understood
that the Chemainus mills have orders in
hand for upwards of 20,000,000 feet of
lumber, chiefly for Great Britain, Austra-
lia and China, but they have been greatly
handicapped through the absence of ton-

from New Bruns-

nage. The local demand is also very
satisfactory, and prices are slightly
stiffer.

UNITED STATES.

A mass meeting of lumbermen from all
parts of the United States was held at
St, Louis on December 12th. At this
meeting reports were submitted which
showed a shortage of dry stocks in nearly
every class of lumber. This fact has given
additional strength to the market. There
is now little fear of prices weakening.
Sales of No. 4 boards have been made at
Duluth at $11 0n dock, and one sale of
No. 3 boards at $13.50 is reported. Piece
stuff has been sold at Menominee, Mich.,
on the basis of $12.50. These prices in-
dicate the strong position held by low
grade lumber. Buyers are contracting
quite freely for mill cuts of next year,
which would seem to show that they do
not anticipate lower prices. In the
eastern markets the demand is keeping
up well, although a falling off such as
might be expected at this season of the
year is reported in certain grades. The
enquiries for hardwoods are not so numer-
ous as they were, and industrial estab-
lishments are likely to pursue a hand-to-
mouth policy until after the new year.
Basswood is in good demand at Buffalo,
with the supply limited. Inch sells at
$26 and thick at $30. A more plentiful
supply of white ash is reported.

FOREIGN.

Reports come from all wood producing
countries of an advance in the price of
lumber. This has created a feeling of
confidence in Great Britain, which country,
it may be said, is the barometer of the
lumber market. Contracts for first-open-
water shipments have been made at
figures which represent a considerable ad-
vance on the prices paid one year ago.
Generally, stocks of Canadian lumber at
the leading British ports are less than
twelve months ago. The London dock
returns ‘show.a decrease of 85,246 pieces
in the stock of white pine, while of spruce

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

there is the important difference of 452,-
024 pieces as compared with the stock
on December 1, 1898. At Birmingham,
St. John spruce has lately advanced from
£8 5s 3dto £8 15s for 3x7, from £8 7s
6d to £9 for 3x9, and from £8 15s to
£10 tos for3xii. At Glasgow a sale
of 9 inch red pine is reported at 193d per
cubic foot ex quay. In square and waney
timber there have been some advances.
Rock elm, for instance, is about 30 per
cent. higher than it was two months ago.

1898, and 1899 has been 549,791, 474,741
and 497,567 tons repectively.

The business during the past month has
again .been satisfactory 3 the arrivals
generally have been fairly moderate, and
with an active demand there has been a
good consumption, thus leaving stocks
with few exceptions in a healthy condition 5
values for most of the leading articles show
further improvement, and higher prices
are anticipated for future business.

CanapIAN Woops. — Pine timber.—Of
waney the arrivals have been chiefly on
contract, but a few consignments have met
with ready sale at improved prices ; there
is more enquiry, the deliveries have been
satisfactory and prices are very firm ;
stocks are light. Square is only in limited
request, andthe stock is sufficient. Red
pine is light in stock, but the demand is
very limited. Oak has arrived rather more
freely ; the demand continues dull, and
there is no improvement in value to report ;
the stock is sufficient. Elm has been im-
ported sparingly, there has been more en-
quiry, and recent sales have been at very
high figures ; the deliveries have been
satisfactory, and stocks are moderate.
Ash has been in better request ; the stock
is very small. Pine deals.—The arrivals
have been lighter ; there has been more
enquiry, and the deliveries have been fair-
ly satisfactory, but stocks, although further
slightly reduced, are still too heavy ;
values, especially for 3rd and 4th quality
regulars, have improved. Red pine deals,
etc., continue in good demand at steady
prices.

New BRUNSWICK AND Nova SCOTIA
SPRUCE AND Pine DEaLs.—The arrivals
have been in excess of same month last
year, viz., about 7,000 standards [against
2,180 standards ; the demand continues
active and late sales have been the highest
prices of the season ; for later shipments a
further,advance is being asked. So far
the rise in value has not affected the con-
sumption, which has kept pace with the
import, and stocks are not too large. Pine
deals show a slight improvement.

BircH.—The import consists of a small
parcel of Quebec wood; there has been
fair enquiry, prices rule steady, and the
stock is moderate. Planks have arrived
more freely, and the deliveries have been
satisfactory ; there is more enquiry, and a
considerable advance in price has been

THE BARBADOS MARKET.
Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Co. review
the Barbados lumber market as follows: The
only arrival to report is the cargo per Allen A.
McIntyre, from St. John, N. B., with about
130 M feet merchantable, 55 M small and 2nd
quality white pine, and 22 M feet hemlock.
We sold merchantable at $22.20, small $17,
and quality $16, hemlock $16. She had also
345 M cedar laying and go M spruce shingles
(extra quality), sold former at $2.55 and latter
at $2.35. In spruce lumber we continue our
valuation at $17 or thereabouts, and repeat
that demand will shortly be setting in for re-
quirements for the coming crop. The Duart
Castle did not bring any Gaspe shingles and
there is no change to note in the position of
Long Gaspe. pn Fk

TIMBER BERTH WITHDRAWN.

Mr. Peter Ryan offered for sale by auction
at the Queen’s Hotel in Toronto, on December
zoth, timber berth No. 1 in Monteith town-
ship, Parry Sound district. The berth com-
prises 16} square miles of virgin timber, and
was purchased from the Ontario government
some years ago when the dues on pine timber
was $1 per thousand feet instead of $1.25 as
at present. The license includes all the tim-
ber on the berth. Bidding was started at
$2,000 per mile and reached $7,000, but there

being no advance, it was withdrawn by the
auctioneer at the request of the owners.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Activity still pervades the lumber trade
of Ontario. So much lumber sold weeks
ago still remains in the mill yards that
shipments will be made by rail through-
out the entire winter. It is said that
some mills have several million feet yet to
move. Numerous enquiries for stock are
being received, but in some instances
orders have been rejected owing to in-
ability to supply the lumber required.
For next season’s production business is
progressing very favorably. It was re-
ported that Watson & Todd had _ pur-
chased the cut of W. C. Edwards & Co.’s
mills in the Ottawa valley. It is now
learned that the purchase includes all
of the first, second and third quality
white pine deals and 7o per cent. of their
red pine. The same firm are also re-
ported to have purchased next season’s
production of white and red pine deals of
the Hull Lumber Co. and A. A. Buell &
Co., as well as the red pine deals of the
Pembroke Lumber Co. and A. & P. White,
of Pembroke. Manufacturers report
numerous enquiries from Great Britain
for red pine, and the prospects are that
the price of this lumber will be higher
next year than in the past season. The
lath situation remains unchanged, the
available supply being far short of the
demand, and prices gradually stiffening.
In hardwoods some contracting for next
season’s production has taken place, and,
as far as can be learned, the prices
represent a slight advance over the figures
paid for similar stock last summer.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,

It is little wonder that the lumbermen
inthe eastern provinces are increasing
their operations in the woods this winter,
as they have been given every encourage-
ment by the course which prices have
taken during the past two months. The
mills are cleaned out of dry stock and
manufacturers are daily refusing orders
for coarse pine, spruce and hemlock
boards. Spruce clapboards are the only
stock that 1s not constantly enquired for.
These are low in frice and difficult of sale.
Next season’s production of several of the
large mills in Quebec have been purchased
by the shippers, Dobell, Beckett & Co. and
W. & J. Sharples figuring prominently in
the transactions. The prices represent an
advance on last year’s figures, one sale
being reported of 3x9 thira spruce, for
first open water shipment from Quehee,
at about 35s advance upon last year’s
quotations. This, however, is an excep-
tional figure, and, notwithstanding the
strength of the market, is a greater ad-
vance than manufacturers should expect.
Early shipments will be the rule next
spring, as some mills will saw during the
winter as soon as there is sufficient snow
to get logs out. Up to one week ago
unfavorable weather had been experienced
in some parts of New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia, thus increasing the cost of
logging. Notwithstanding this, we judge
from reports to hand that the production
of logs this winter in the Maritime pro-
vinces will be fully one-third greater than
last season.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The higher prices on white pine lumber,
as announced by the Lake of the Woods
manufacturers some weeks ago, have been
firmly maintained. By the new list all
timber and dimension stuff was advanced
$1 per thousand, and boards, shiplap,
flooring, ceiling, siding and fencing $1.50
per thousand.. It is said that dealers have
also been informed that no mote orders
for No. 2 dimension white pine can be
taken by the mills for immediate delivery.
Lath is quoted in Winnipeg at $2.75 retail,
but the tendency is towards higher prices,
and it is predicted that $4 will be reached
before the spring. Dealers throughout
Manitoba have been notified of an ad-
vance of $1 per thousand in the price of
British Columbia shiplap, fir and cedar.
The demand for lumber at this season is
remarkably good, and orders for next
year’s delivery are being booked. From
this it would appear, that retailers and
consumers do not expect that lower prices
will rule in 1900, There 1s every pros-
pect of a large production of white pine
logs this winter, and it is probable that
operations will be commenced on some
of the limits in the Rainy River district
purchased last week from the Ontario
government.

UNITED STATES.

The general shortage of lumber n the
United States has induced some manu-
facturers to inaugurate’ winter sawing,
but as the lumber so cut will not be
ready for the market until late in the
spring, winter prices are not likely to be
affected. The great shortage in stock
applies chiefly to low grade pine boards.
It is said that sales of No. 4 boards have
been made at Duluth on the basis of $12
per thousand. No. 3 boards have sold as
high as $13.50 for next season’s delivery.
At Tonawanda there is a great scarcity of
I x 8-inch, Io-inch and 12-inch box and
No, 2 and No. 3 barn, and prices have ad-
vanced from $1 to $2 per thousand feet.

Dealers are putting forth every effort
to purchase I x Io inch and 12 inch stock,
to be shipped in by rail during the winter.
Lately the demand for cutting up stock
has improved, and prices are likely to
advance. There is a good stock of inch
fine common and shaky clear, and on
these grades some shading of prices is
reported. The lath market is as firm as
ever. In Chicago No. 1 white pine lath
is selling at $4.50 and $4.75, and No. 2
about 25 cents less. The demand for
hardwood is rather quiet, as manufactur-
ing plants have shut down for the holiday
season. White ash is scarce and very
firm in price. Sales of maple have been
made at Buffalo at about $22 for inch and
$25 for thicker.

FOREIGN.

One question under discussion in British
lumber circles is where the present ad-
vance in prices is going to end. Each
day the price of some class of timber is
marked higher, and in comparison with
the prices of one year ago, there is a con-
siderable difference in favor of those now
ruling. Prices for spot goods have
strengthened in sympathy with the high
prices asked by shippers for next season’s

II.

production. In London it is predicted
that 3x9 second quality spruce deals will
command £11 Ios in the early spring,
with thirds 20s less. The packing-case
and box manufacturers, who are the largest
consumers of spruce, are very busy with
orders. At Glasgow several sales of pine
and spruce deals are reported at most
satisfactory prices. Broad first pine deals
and broad sidings are particularly scarce.

For first open water shipments shippers
in Russia and Sweden are asking excep-
tionally high figures, but it is said that
they have been successful in disposing of
a large quantity of stock.

ee
STOCKS AND PRICES.

The Morris, Field Rogers Co., of Lis-
towel, Ont., are in the market for large

parish of Musquash, to Daniel Newman,
at upset price; No. 57, on Salmon river,
Kent county, to Richard & Quinn, at $38
per mile.

The log production of Maine this winter
will be considerably heavier than last sea-
son. Onthe Penobscot the cut will be
about 180,000,000 feet, against 140,000, -
ooo feet last winter. On the Kennebec the
cut will probably reach 150,000,000 feet,
while the average in recent years has been
little over 100,000,000 feet. Log prices
rule at about $6.50 per thousand feet.

The Engl:sh Land Co. have sold to Mc-
Cormack & McLeod, of Orillia, Ont., the
cedar timber on their property in the
township of Harcourt, Haliburton district.
The contract for cutting the timber and
manufacturing it into ties, poles and
shingles has been given to Gillespie,
Ormsby & Co., of Wilberforce, who agree
to cut all the timber within three years.

THE BOSTON MARKET.
[Correspondence of the CaNaApDA LUMBERMAN.]
During the past week the Boston market

has shown no signs of weakness ;_ on the other
hand, reports tell of a heavier volume of trade
than was anticipated. Building has also ex-

- ceeded expectations, and intending builders,

evidently convinced that present prices of
lumber are to continue for some time, are
going ahead with plans that have been held in
abeyance.

WESTERN PINE.—The firmness of western
pine is yet a feature of the situation. Buyers
are eager purchasers and are understood to be
scouring the west for connections for the
ensuing year. The position, however, is fully
realized by manufacturers. Prices rule as

follows :

Coffin boards.......++eseeeeee eee eeeee 20.00 “* 25.00

SprucE.—The market on spruce lumber is
reported firm. It is very difficult to get orders
filled at the mills by reason of lumber scarcity,
low water and a positive shortage of logs. It
is now known that the amount of spruce logs
to be carried over this winter will be much less
than was formerly estimated, while the con-
templated cut may be reduced by lack of snow.
Agreement prices are being well maintained

demand for hardwood lumber, stock being
taken almost as quickly as offered, at firm
prices. Ash is fairly active at $45 for 1 inch,
$50 to $52 for 14%, 1% and 2 inch, and $60
to $62.50 for thicker. Maple sells at $32 to
$42, although the demand from manufacturing
enterprises is only normal. Birch is active
and realizes good prices.

provement in clapboards, but as yet the market
is by no means active :

SHINGLES.—Cedar shingles are more en-
quired. for than any other class. California

redwood shingles are selling very well.

taken place in the price of laths. 15 inch

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
[Correspondence of the CANADA LuMBERMAN.]
Despite the fact that lumbering operations
on the limits are being carried on ex-
tensively this season, there is a possibility
that the large mills in and about Ottawa will
be short of logs when they open in the spring.

. the Manufacturer.

The mild weather is held accountable for the
prospective shortage. Ex-Mayor Samuel Bing-
ham, of this city, who for many years has super-
intended the distribution and transportation of
logs on the upper waters of the Gatineau and
Ottawa, states that the absence of snow in the
woods and ice on the rivers will interfere with
the cutting operations on the limits. Although
the timber cutting is well advanced, few of the
logs have been got out of the woods to the
rivers. He states that the situation is so
alarming that choppers have been called off
heir regular work, to strengthen the gangs
getting the logs out. Mr. Bingham has left
on a trip up the Gatineau, where he will make
arrangements for the transportation of the
logs.

Should the winter continue an open one, the
results will be even worse, and but a small
proportion of the logs cut will be floated to the
mills. In Mr. Bingham’s opinion the mills
may not have such a steady run next season
as they had last, owing to the scarcity of logs.
Should this be the case, the price of lumber
will advance still higher, as the supply will
not equal the increased demand. From Ot-
tawa alone 6,000 men were sent to the differ-
ent lumber shanties. The agents of the differ-
ent companies are hiring many more teams
than last season, but until the lakes freeze they
will be unable to get them to the seat of oper-
ations on the limits. The office staffs of the
various Ottawa mills are now busily engaged
compiling the statistics of the past year’s busi-
ness. Inquiries are coming in about next
season’s cut, part of which has already been
contracted for at advanced prices. As lumber
is still being shipped by rail in large quantities,
the car famine is still felt. The Hull Lumber

building operations in Ottawa are not as bright
as they otherwise would be. Local contractors
also complain of a dearth of building material.

‘As an indication of the general advance made
in all lines of lumber manufactured in and
shipped from Ottawa, a prominent mill owner
cited the quotations on cull deals. Last
spring these sold at from $5 to $6.50 per
thousand, whereas they now sell at $12 per
thousand, with prospects, he states, of going
up to $14 before the spring. The average
increase in prices all round has been about 15
per cent., but this has been followed by a
demand for increased wages, and the mill
owners’ bonanza has been reduced. Probably
few classes of Jaborers look to their interests
as close as the mill hands and others engaged
in the lumbering industry.do, and as a result
every increase in lumber prices or rise in the
market is followed by a demand for a corres-
ponding increase in wages.

quiring higher rates than have of late been
ruling, due to the increased f.o.b. and freight
costs which they have been obliged to pay for
the chief classes of timber which have been,
and will shortly be, brought upon this market.
The slight slackness in the demand is, how-
ever, only of a temporary character, as it is
generally recognized that the consumption is
on the upward grade, and that it will there-
fore be necessary for the trade to purchase
more freely for stocking purposes during the
next few months, in order to be in a position
to cope with the early increased requirements
which are justly anticipated from both the
the town and country districts. Sales have
been made ‘‘to arrive,” and from late ship-
ments to hand in flooring, lining, and weather-
boards, Oregon spruce deals, and other timber,
at prices fully maintaining late valuations, while
in some instances for particular sizes enhanced
rates have been asked and secured.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

The holiday season does not seem to
have had the effect of checking the de-
mand for lumber. Rail shipments to local
points and the Eastern States are still
quite active. The only branch which has
shown any falling off in demand is the
building trade, as the recent cold weather
has to some extent caused a cessation of
out-door work. Manufacturing establish-
ments are operating to their full capacity,
and consequently there is a steady call for
hardwoods and such lumber as is adapted
for manufacturing purposes. There is
still a scarcity of Jath and shingles, al-
though enquiries for these have not been
sO numerous within the past week.

The weather has been favorable for
work in the woods. From all accounts
there will be a large production of logs.
According to estimates received by the
Commissioner of Crown Lands, there will
be taken out this winter in the neighbor-
hood of 800,000,000 feet of logs. Last
winter the cut was only 570 million feet,
which shows an increase of over 200
million feet this winter. This large pro-
duction of logs will mean a considerable
increase in the quantity of lumber placed
on the market next season, but unless
very unexpected conditions arise, the de-
mand is likely to be equal to the supply.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. ¥

The tendency of lumber prices in the
Quebec market is to advance, in sym-
pathy with the small stocks carried over
this winter. The stock of square and
waney pine, red pine, oak, elm and ash
timber wintering at the port of Quebec is
lessthan one year ago. In square pine
the difference is slight, but in waney pine
the stock is nearly one and one-half
million cubic feet lessthan in the winter
of 1898. Birch is the only timber of
which the quantity wintering shows an in-
crease, but even this is represented only
by 3,331 cubic feet. For the best quality
of white pine the quotation 1s from 37 to
43 cents, while waney board, 19 to 22 inches
average, is quoted at 43 to 47 cents. Pine
deals are very firm and are quoted at
$120 to $130 for first, $85 to $95 for
second, and $45 to $55 for third quality.
First quality spruce deals average about
$43 per standard.

Figures to hand show that 128,000,000
feet of lumber were shipped last season
from the Miramichi to trans-Atlantic
ports, 27,000,000 feet from Dalhousie and
19,000,000 feet from Campbellton. From
West Bay, in Nova Scotia, the trans-
(Atlantic shipments were 30,000,000 feet.
‘As has been before remarked, lumber
stocks in the Maritime provinces are well
cleaned up, and a brisk demand for the
spring cut will likely be experienced.
More favorable weather for logging oper-
ations has been encountered during the
past week, and every effort is being put
forth by lumbermen to get a large supply
of logs for next season’s sawing.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,

There is still a liberal distribution of
lumber throughout Western Canada.
Manufacturers on the Lake of the Woods,
as well as those in British Columbia, re-
port that the past year was one of
the most successful inthe history of the
trade, the sales representing an increase
of fully 50 per cent. over those of the
previous year. The recent advances on
certain grades are being maintained, and
we would not be surprised if still higher
prices ruled during the coming year.
The outlook for trade is very promising.
There is likely to be a considerable
amount of railway construction and
general building.

UNITED STATES.

Notwithstanding that the lumber cut of
the Upper Mississippi river district in the
season of 1899 was 594,370,000 feet, as
against 469,701,000 feet in the previous
year, the stock of lumber on hand at the
close of the year shows.a decrease, as
compared with 1898, of nearly 27,000,000
feet. The decrease in the stock of
shingles is 21,000,000, and in that of lath
10,000,000. These figures reflect the situ-
ation at other producing points and are an
indication of the satisfactory condition of
the lumber trade of the United States
throughout the year just closed. Although
the demand at this season is not particu-
larly active, prices are being well main-
tained, and it is said that in the east the
conditions were never better for a con-
tinuance of high prices. Eastern retail
yards are almost bare of stock, and a
large amount of new building isin sight
for the spring. The scarcity of box lum-
ber becomes more acute as the weeks go
by. At Tonawanda box lumber and No.
2and No. 3 barn is held at a premium,
and it is difficult to buy any fIo-inch or
12-inch No. 3 barn at less than $22 per
thousand. Very few dealers can fill an
order representing any great quantity of
stock. In inch fine common and _ shaky
clear the situation is different, as many of
the yards have quite a surplus and prices
are slightly weaker. A Buffalo dealer is
reported to be holding his stock of box
lumber at $20.

The statement has been made in some
quarters that hardwood prices are weaken-.
ing, but this report is denied by the lead-
ing dealers in the Eastern States. It is
admitted that the demand for hardwood
lumber is not brisk, but the situation has
caused no alarm. There jis a great
scarcity of the lower grades of maple, and
basswood is much enquired for.

FOREIGN.

The advanced prices of wood goods in
Great Britain have in no way checked the
demand, as in every department of trade
activity prevails. There seems to be a
marked degree of confidence in financial
circles, notwithstanding the war, and this
confidence is nowhere more visible than
in timber circles. At recent public sales
prices have been realized such as have
not been known for many years. Im-
porters are contracting quite liberally,
chiefly for early goods. A slight advance
in the price of square timber is reported.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

W. E. Dryden, of Hillsboro, N.B., ex-
pects to cut 3,000,000 feet of lumber this
winter.

The Alma Lumber Co., of Alma, N.B.,
are now shipping birch lumber from St.
John, N.B., to Great Britain by winter
steamers.

At Duluth, Minn., as high as $14 is
being asked for No.3 barn, but $13 is
about the average quotation. Log run
brings from $16 to $18.

The barque Freeman sailed from Tusk-
et Wedge, N.S., last week for Buenos
Ayres, with 872,000 feet of lumber ship-
ped by Dickie & McGrath.

The South River Lumber Co., of South
River, Ont., are this winter taking out a
large quantity of pine logs, some hem-
lock, and 100,000 cubic feet of waney
board pine.

The Newville Lumber Co., of New-
ville, N.S., expect to take out this winter
4,500,000 feet of logs. Nearly all their
next season’s production of lumber has
been sold for shipment to Great Britain.

J. J. Wheelock, of Connors, N.B., ex-
pects to manufacture 30,000,000 shingles
during the coming season, as well asa
quantity of long lumber for the local
trade. He has amill at Connors, N.B.,
and anotber at St. Francis, Maine.

It is understood that the C. Beck Manu-
facturing Co., of Penetanguishene, have
commenced logging operations on the
two limits in the Nipissing district pur-
chased at the government sale a fortnight
ago.

The W. & A. McArthur Co., of Chey-
boygan, who recently purchased the Mc-
Kinnon & Welsh saw mill at Little Cur-
rent, Ont., are putting in 30,000,000 feet
of logs, and will likely operate the mill day
and night next season.

One year ago dry white pine lath could
be purchased in Chicago at about $2.15
per thousand, while they are now selling
at $4.50 f.o.b. cars. In the local trade
there white pine lath sold during De-
cember at from $5 to $5.50 per thousand.
Of late there has been some easing off in

THE BOSTON MARKET.
[Correspondence of the Canapa LUMBERMAN.]
SpRUCE.—The spruce market is quiet, with

little change. The financial flurry has had
some effect on the situation, with builders
cramped in one or two instances. Orders are
still slow about being filled at the mills, with
the water low and logs scarce. Reports from
the spruce lumber regions mention a lack of
snow for hauling, with one of the winter
months gone and almost nothing done. A big
cut has been yarded, but unless snow comes
very soon and continues in good shape, the cut
of logs cannot be hauled. The chances are
that what was planned for a very large cut of
spruce may turn out to bea smallone. Of
provincial lumber there were arrivals of six
cargoes for the week, with 651,983 feet of
lumber, 196,000 laths, and 980,000 shingles.

BUFFALO AND TONAWANDA.

(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.]

Slow business is the rule in the lumber yards,
especially with pine dealers, though there are
plenty of indications that the demand will
open early again and that the east, which has
been hesitating for some time over the problem
whether it will have to pay higher prices or
not, will be in the market for lamber in quan-
tity as soon as the winter inventory season
is past. Dealers here say that they are not
soliciting business now, as they seldom do during
December and January, so that they will not
be disappointed if there is a light movement
for sometime yet. They see in general busi-
ness every indication that the present asking
price will be paid. Iron went up very high,
but it is still in great demand and will continue
to be so long as general business remains good.
Why should other building material take a
different course ?

Still it is plainly the notion eastward that
the price of lumber is higher than it should be,
and that a good steady holding off will break
the prices. This will never happen unless
other business goes to pieces along with lumber,
which is something that the east does not want
to see any more thanwedo. There is not very
much falling off in the price of hardwood lum-
ber, for there is such a general scarcity of most
kinds that to get a good supply is an acquisition,
even if the cost is more than the consumer feels
like paying.

' Both Buffalo and Tonawanda brought in
considerable more lumber by lake the past
season than during 1898, and the increase by
rail, though small in Tonawanda, is large in
percentage, while in Buffalo it is suppesed to
be large, though there is no report on that
point. Buffalo received 230,278,000 feet by
lake during the past season and only 189,076,-
000 in 1898. The two Tonawanda ports re-
ceived 495,947,000 feet the past season, which
is about 40,000,000 feet more than 1898.
Nearly all the shingles by lake come to Buffalo,
the amount being 132,000,000, while the Tona-
wandas received but 14,500,000, against 78,-
000,000 in 1898, which does not appear to be
accounted for by the trade, as Tonawanda
used to be a big shingle port and manufactured
them long after Buffalo gave the business up.

The end of December sees still some lumber
afloat at docks that were crowding in late car-
goes, such as the Montgomerys and the H. M.
Loud’s Sons’ Co. Both of these firms have
their docks as well as yards very full and will
not be in full winter condition for some time
yet, in spite of steady work as often as
weather permitted. There has been consider-
able snow, quickly followed by rain, which has
delayed work badly.

It is pleasant to note that the Holland &
Emery Company is going ahead with vigor.
Not satisfied with its already large holding of
timber in Canada, the company bought
nine square miles in the Nipissing district at
the recent government auction, which ought to
mean a considerable enlargement of operations
in the next ten years. The big yard of the
auxiliary firm of Holland, Manbert & George
at lower Black Rock is running over with lum-
ber again, giving the district all its old appear-
rance of wild activity.

The two Montgomery firms have suffered a
serious set-back from a fire that occurred on

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

the night of the 26th December and destroyed
a section of the big mill at the foot of Court
street, Buffalo. The mill has four sections
separated by fire walls, and the others suffered
only from water. The fire occurred in the
fourth story, occupied by the Deuther Manu-
facturing Company, picture frame makers, who
will lose $20,000. The loss to the Mont-
gomerys willexceed $100,000, most ofit falling
on the veneered door department. The box
department could be run still if desired, but it
will wait till after inventory. It was fortunate
that the firm’s large stock of lumber did not
suffer, for it is box to a great extent, which is
already scarce and will be all in the hands of
box makers by spring.

A second wood-working concern in Buffalo
that has been burned out during the month is
the firm of E. & F. Glor, the largest cooperage
establishment in the city. After suffering the
loss of their stave and heading mill in Septem-
ber, their other mill and barrel factory went
down on Dec. 12th, involving a loss of $40,000.
A new mill is about finished, so that the business
can now be concentrated there and no stoppage
will occur.

The Plummer mill, which includes planing,
heading and excelsior packing apparatus, situat-
ed in the Hertel avenue district, Buffalo, and
which has been in bankruptcy for a year or
more, has been bought by the firms of Holland,
Manbert & George and C. M. Betts & Co.,
whose yards are near and who will utilize
it in their business.

The Eastern Lumber Company at Tona-
wanda has an ambitious new neighbor in the
shape of a steel company from Chicago, which
has bought 20 acres of Jand and will erect a
big plant as soon as possible. There is a
great boom in that vicinity.

The scarcity of shingles here has been in-
creased by the loss of the Canadian steamer
Niagara, with allon board. This circumstance
is well known, but it might not be so well
known that the shingles were from Parry
Sound to Haines & Co., Buffalo, and are now
mostly scattered along the Canada shore of
Lake Erie. The cargo has been sold to pri-
vate parties, who will try to sell in Canada
what is recovered, so that payment of duty
may be avoided. \

C. H. Stanton, Buffalo manager of the Loud
Company’s interests, has been made vicegerent
snark by the Hoo-Hoo authorities and is pre-
paring to stir up the boys after the holidays,
probably taking in Toronto.

THE BARBADOS MARKET.

The following reference to the Barbados
lumber market is made by S. P. Musson, Son
& Co, in their circular of December 22nd :

The Etta A. Simpson has arrived from St.
John, N.B:, with 103 M ft. white pine and
900 M shingles, for this market; and 111 M
feet white pine for St. Lucias. Of her cargo
for this island, sales have been made as
follows: 26 M ft. at $17.12, 30 M ft. at
$17.65, 20 M ft, at $16.77, and 26 M ft. sold
but price not yet transpired. Spruce—We
had asmall lot of 25 M ft. ex L. B. Currie
from West Dublin, and sold 9,500 feet from
deck at $18.30, 16 M feet under deck at
$18.61, and 13 M feet hemlook at $16.46.
The sale of spruce cannot be considered a fair
criterion for cargo lots, which we continue to
value at $17 to $18. For the hemlock, it was
only by chance that we were able to obtain the
figure noted, it being very unsaleable in this
market. The cargo per Maiden City to which
we referred has been brought in here at a Jow
price, and while sizes are unsuited to present
requirements, yet it will have an unfavorable
effect on the market for spruce.

SHINGLES,—The Etta A. Simpson cargo
contained 742 M sawed cedar Jaying, 50 M
shaved, and 66 M sawed spruce; sold sawed
cedar laying at $2.40, shaved spruce at $2.35;
and we had by L. B. Currie 170 M spruce
laying, which we sold at $2.20. Nothing
new to advise in long Gaspe.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

Although in the midst of the winter
season, there continues to be a heavy
movement of lumber by rail. There
would also be more business done were it
possible to obtain the stock desired. Re-
ports to hand state that not for many
years has the stock of low grade pine lum-
ber been so thoroughly picked up. To
such an extent is this the case that some
of the manutacturers have for the first
time inaugurated winter sawing. The
quantity of stock placed on the market as
a result, however, will not be large, and
will not likely affect prices, particularly as
the demand between now and spring will
more than take care of the supply. Busi-
ness for the year is opening up very
favorably. A number of the Ottawa valley
manufacturers have disposed of their cut,
and we understand that several mill
Owners in the Georgian Bay district ex-
pect to close negotiations at an early
date for considerable of their next season’s
production. The Midland cut of the
Arthur Hill Company, to be sawed at
Playfair’s mill and amounting to 20,000,-
000 feet, has been contracted for by W.
B. Mershon, of Saginaw, Mich., at a
price which is regarded as very satisfac-
tory to the manufacturers.

There are numerous inquiries in the
market for hardwoods, and from present
indications prices will not weaken during
the next few months at least. Consumers,
recognizing thesituation, are showing a
disposition to contract for their require-
mefits in advance.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Writing to the CANADA LUMBERMAN,
a manufacturer in Quebec states that all
grades of lumber have been picked up
this winter closer than he has ever known
before, and that many contracts are in
the hands of mill men for new stock to be
cut as soon as there is enough snow for
logging. These remarks reflect the situ-
ation throughout Quebec, New Bruns-
wick and Nova Scotia. Enquiries for
lumber are numerous, but the supply of
dry stock is almost exhausted. Prices in
1900 promise to be even better than last
year, as several manufacturers have sold
their output of British spruce deals at an
advance of from $1.50 to $2 per thousand
over the prices realized for the 1899 pro-
duction. This increased price will not,
however, give a greater margin of profit
to the manufacturers, as the cost of pro-
ducing logs this winter will be consider-
ably greater than last season.

UNITED STATES,

The first ten days in the new year have
not witnessed a large demand for lumber,
although the business done during the
holiday season was above the average.
The market still remains firm. There is
a general shortage of dry stock in pine,
spruce and hardwoods, more pronounced
in the lower grades of white pine than in
any other class of stock. Of the stock on
dock at Ashland and Duluth it is said
that there is not to exceed 20,000,000 feet
unsold at each place, while a cos:derable
percentage of next season’s production

has been contracted for. The eastern
wholesale markets are fairly well supplied.
The stock of white pine in Buffalo yards
is estimated at 120,000,000 feet, of which
20,000,000 feet is Canadian stock. The
outlook for building operations in the
eastern cities during the coming season is
considered good, and this fact is having
an influence upon prices. In New York
city there is almost a famine in box and
low grade lumber, ane higher prices are
predicted. The quotations on hardwood
lumber are being maintained, the diffi-
culty of buying at western points at a
reasonable price assisting to this end.
The supply of basswood lumber has be-
come almost exhausted, and a famine is
expected before the new cut shall be
available for shipment. Michigan manu-
facturers of maple have endeavored to
secure a corner on that lumber and have
advanced prices by $2 per thousand.
This brings prices up toa basis of $9, $13
and $18. Red birch is selling in Buffalo
as high as $42 for inch,

There has been no change in shingle
prices. Best 18 inch red cedars and
white pine are selling at Buffalo at $4.
This price has caused consumers to look
around for hemlock shingles, which sell at
about $2,50, but there is no large supply
in the market.

FOREIGN.

Prices for spot goods in Great Britain
continue to strengthen owing to reports of
high prices asked for timber products in
producing countries. Tosuch an extent
have prices been advanced that some pre-
dict that the volume of business during
the year 1900 will be restricted on this
account. On the other hand, the outlook
for the year, judged from the orders now
in hand, seems to be particularly bright.
At London several transactions have
lately taken place in third and fourth
quality spruce, third quality selling at £9
5S per standard and fourths at £9;
second quality brings about {9 IIs.
From Liverpool comes the report that
contracts have been made at £8 per
standard c.i.f. for cargoes or large parcels
by liners for specifications containing
about 80 per cent. of 7 and 8 inch. From
this may be gauged the value of 9 and 11
inch. Pine deals are steadily improving,
and while until two months ago £24 15s
was the maximum, recently $28 3s 9d has
been reached for first quality. The stock
in first hands is about one-half that carried
over at same time last year. Red pine
deals are selling at £12 7s 9d and there is
very little stock that is not in the hands
of consumers. In nearly all classes of
square timber the stock is light, but there
is a decided scarcity of ash.

SHIPPING MATTERS.

The barque Kelverdale has been chartered to
carry lumber from Boston to Buenos Ayres at
$9.25.

The ships Marie Madre!B and Vanloo have
been fixed to load deals at Bathurst, N.B., for
Marseilles at 62 francs.

A partnership has been registered under the
name of Bissel, Ross & Co., lumber dealers,
Sherbrooke, Que.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY

STOCKS AND PRICES.

The Gillies Bros. Co., of Braeside,
Ont., have 13 shanties in the woods this
winter.

It is reported that a Chicago firm has
sold to eastern parties 8,000,0000 feet of
white pine lumber, the consideration being
$160,000.

In northern Michigan hemlock logs are
bringing $7.25 per thousand, which 1s
about the price that pine logs sold at a
few years ago.

Pickard & Rowan, of Owen Sound,
Ont., have 1,500,000 feet of logs on the
skids at Lion’s Head, Ont., and about
400,000 feet at Mars.

First class elm flour batrel staves are
being sold by jobbers in Buffalo at $9. The
former price for patent hoops, $13, is
strong, but hickory hoops sell slowly at
$6.50, with basswood heading scarce at
53% cents. The supply of elm promises to
improve, but basswood 1s not expected to.

Yard quotations in Chicago are $53
for uppers, $47 for A selects, $42 for B
selects, and $39 for C Selects, in thick-
nesses from 1% to 2 inches. Common
stock boards range from $15.50 for 1 x8
No. 3 to $21.50 for 1x 12 No.1. For
2 x 4 10 foot piece stuff $16.50 is asked and
for lengths above 18 feet from $16.50 to
$17.50.

THE BRITISH MARKET.

Calder, Henderson & Livingston, in their
annnal timber market report, review the Glas-
gow market as follows :

Wuite Pine.—Waney.—The demand has
been fairly steady, and, the import having
been moderate, there is now carried over a
stock of rather under the average. The con-
sumption of prime wood for shipbuilding pur-
poses has fallen somewhat below the average
of the past few years, but prices have been
maintained at from 2s 7d to 2sQd._ First-
class short girthy wood is firm at 2s 4d to 2s
7d. Second-class wood has met with a better
demand than has been the case for the two
preceding years. Low prices were accepted
to clear out some old parcels, but now prices
are firm at from 19d to 23d. Square.—Any
first-class wood imported has been readily

taken up from ships’ side on arrival. 35 to
45 feet average is now quoted at 2s 2d to 2s 5d
perc. ft. G. F. A, has been in fair demand
at 18d to 22d, according toaverage. Common
wood is rarely now inquired for.

Rep PINE,—There has been a fair import
of first-cless wood,” together with an average
consumption. Stock carried over is largely in
excess of that of the previous year, and is
mostly composed of first-class. Quotations
range from 21d to 2s Id.

ELM.—The import has been on a moderate
scale, the demand exceptionally good, and
prices have steadily advanced month by month
till now prime wood is held firmly by met-
chants at 2s 9d to 2s 11d perc. ft. The stock
is light.

Oak.—The import has been about the aver-
age, and stock in hand is practically on a level
with the carry over of 1898: Quotations are
2s 8d to 2s 10d for prime wood 65 to 75 cubic
average. Secondclass wood is little inquired
for, users of this class preferring the U. S. pro-
duction.

AsH. —Import has been unusually light, and
being late in coming forward the stock crrried
over was practically cleared before fresh wood
arrived, and prices made a sharp advance,
which has been maintained. Recent sales
have been made at 2s to 2s 3d for 15 to 16
inch average. There is no stock in first hands.

Brrcu.—There has been a light import and
a good demand. Large sales were made im-
mediately after the cabinetmakers’ strike col-
lapsed, and prices went up as the stock de-
creased. Prices are now steady at 20d to 21d

for 16 inch average. Stock in hand is barely
one fourth of the average of the past three years.

DEALS, BATTENS AND Boarps.— While the
year opened with the stock of Ist, 3rd, and

4th pine somewhat in excess of an average of
the three years preceding, prices were held on
a firm basis by most of the importers, although
others, taking rather a pessimistic view of the
prospects, cleared large lines at reduced values.
In the early months of the import season
arrivals were comparatively light, and buyers
became more anxious to operate. Prices ruled
steady until September, when a_ stronger
‘position was taken up, in keeping with prices
ruling on the other side. The import is over
500,000 pieces less, and the censumption fully
1,100,000 more than in 1898, consequently
the new year commences with deal stocks in a
very favorable position all round.

PinE—Firsts.—The import of broad deals
has been moderate and the demand good.

EDITION.

JANUARY 10, 1900

tN

Prices have improved steadily, £24 to £24
15s being the maximum till within a couple
of months ago, and recently £28 3s 9d has
been touched. In 11 inch there has been
little doing. Undersized have met with a
good demand, 14 to 16 ft. lengths making a
good price. Stock in first hands is about half

_ that carried over in comparison to last year.

Quotations—Broad, £24 to £28; 11 inch,
£22 to £2378 6d; undersized, £17 17s 6d to
£20 128 6d; 1%, 1% and 2 inch sidings, I!
to 12 inch average, £17 389d to £19 10s;
strips, 5 to 7 inch, 413 (for shorts) to £16 Ios.
Seconds.—Import moderate. Demand rather
better than the previous year, but prices much
ona level. The stock is light, but sufficient
for requirements. Quotations—Broads, L17
3s od to £20 12s 6d ; 11 inch, £15 tos to £18
11s 3d; undersized, £12 17s 6d to Zs Dy5
Thirds. —The year opened with a considerably
larger stock than usual, and sales were being
freely made at £9 12s 6d to £10 for regulars,
and £6 17s 6d to £7 15s for undersized. The
clearance of the yarded stock was speedy, and
for new importations a firmer attitude was
adopted, and gradually improved upon tll
£11 ex quay was got for regulars and 49 58
for undersized. The stock is light and firmly
held. Fourths.—Were heavily held at the
beginning of the year, and consumers also
carried large stocks. With a light import
early in the season, and a rapidly increasing
consumption,{a strengthening ofvalues resulted.
Regulars opened at about £6 17s 6d and
undersized at about £6 10s, while in October
sales were freely made at £8 10s and yas

tive. of McArthur Bros., was in Ottawa
this week on private business. Mr. Wade
states that his firm will not cut so extensively
on their limits this season as heretofore, owing

great difficulty in securing the necessary sup-
plies of lumber from the mill owners, as the
latter, if they have notalready sold their standing

tallic shingles and roofing, however, has -cur-
tailed the demand for the product of the
shingle mill, and the price has not advanced
as rapidly as in the case of lath, indispensable
in building operations. The higher grades of
lumber for both the English and American
markets show little advance.

keeping them idle. There is now more snow

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

There is a feeling of unrest among the
lumbermen of Ontario, due to the mild
weather and the absence of the necessary
snow for logging operations. Reports re-
ceived from different districts state that
the situation is anything but encouraging.
A large cut of logs has been made, but as
yet no hauling of any extent has been
done. If, however, sharp winter weather,
accampanied by snow, should now set in
and continue for the next two months, it
would be possible to get most of the logs
to the banks of the streams. Naturally,
the possibility of a short log crop has
given increased strength to the lumber
market. Some of the Ottawa valley manu-
facturers are reported to be holding out
for a price which the shippers have not as
yet shown their willingness to give. Buy-
ers from the United States can now be
found in all parts of the province for the
purpose of buying dry stock and contract-
ing for their season’s requirements. A
quantity of the pine lumber cut in western
Ontario next season will find a market in

- logging season.

Michigan, the production in that state
now being less than is required for manu-
facturing purposes. This is in contrast
with the conditions existing before the
enactment of the mannfacturing clause,
when lumber sawn in Michigan from
Georgiar Bay logs was marketed in west-
ern Ontario. Within the past week com-
mon lumber has advanced in the Toronto
market about one dollar and mill culls
about fifty cents per thousand.

There is one feature of the hardwood
market which differs from that of pine.
While no heavy stocks of pine are held in
the province by the manufacturers, dealers
or consumers, there is a liberal stock of
hardwoods in the hands of consumers, such
as furniture and implement factories, wag-
gon factories and wood-workers generally.
The result of this will be that these indus-
tries will not be in the market for supplies
early in the spring.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Business is opening up this year in a
manner that is very satisfactory to the
spruce manufacturers of the eastern pro-
vinces. The price of British deals has
bse advanced by from $2 to $4~ per
thousand feet. That shippers are meeting
this advance is borne out by the fact that
large contracts have been entered into.
We do not think that manufacturers will
make a mistake in adhering firmly to their
asking prices, particularly in view of the
fact that the production of spruce logs
this winter is not likely to be as great as
was anticipated at the beginning of the
The weather thus far has
been unfavorable and there has been a
scarcity oflabor and teams. It is prob-
able that the demand will readily absorb
the cut, and that present prices will be
maintained, if not advanced.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The absence of snow is causing the
lumbermen in the west some anxiety.
Reports from the woods are to the effect
that hauling 1s somewhat at a stand-still.
This condition has further strengthened
lumber prices, as it is quite probable that
the log production this winter will be less
than was contemplated. The mild weath-
er has also permitted of out-door work
being carried on almost without interrup-
tion, and thus the consumption of lumber
has been increased. The Lake of the
Woods mills put into effect on January
Ist a new price list making certain ad-
vances. This list will be published in our
next issue.

In British Columbia the local lumber
market is a little quiet, but several en-
quiries on foreign account are receiving
the attention of manufacturers, and alto-
gether the outlook is hopeful.

UNITED STATES.

Statistics of white pine stocks at the
mills in the United States show that a
shortage exists of over 750,000,000 feet as
compared with one yearago. In Michi-
gan there is very little stock that is not in
the hands of dealers or consumers. The
greatest shortage of stock 1s, of course, in
the lower grades, No. 4 and No. 5 boards
being especially scarce. Asa result of
this condition the manufacturers in the

Mississippi and Wisconsin valleys have
advanced prices of common boards by
from 50 cents to $1.50 per thousand.
While the demand for lumber is not par-
ticularly active, there is scarcely a weak
spot in the United States market. Those
who predicted that prices would weaken
towards the spring now hold a differ-
ent view, inasmuch as logging opera-
tions in the northern woods have been
seriously retarded by lack of snow, and
the log crop this winter is not likely to be
any greater than it was last year. Good
building weather has stimulated the con-
sumptive demand in the east, and build-
ing promises to be brisk in the cities and
larger towns during the coming summer.
Spruce prices are very strong, with an
upward tendency, and the supply of lum-
ber is below the requirement. In hard-
woods there is very little doing, although
prices are being firmly maintained. A
scarcity of basswood is reported, with pros-
pects of a famine in that lumber before
spring. White ash and maple are also
enquired for to some extent, while elm is
moving only very moderately.

The lath situation is somewhat uncer-
tain. The supply is not equal to the de-
mand, but as the unusual strength of the
lath market is almost certain to stlmulate
production this year, there is some doubt
as to how long present prices will be main-
tained. At Minneapolis $4.25 is being
asked by manufacturers for No. 1 white
pine, and $4 for mixed.

FOREIGN.

_ The Board of Trade returns show that
in the season of 1899 there were imported
into the United Kingdom 6,429,019 loads
of timber and lumber, against 8,834,250
loads in 1898 and 9,972,733 loads in 1897.
The import was, therefore, about 600,000
loads more than 1898 and 500,000 less
than in 1897. The condition of stocks is
favorable to a satisfactory trade during
the coming year, while Prices are at the
highest point which has been reached for
many years. Spruce is being offered in
the London market at £8 17s. 6d. for Bi
9 second quality and £8 7s. 6d. for third
quality. There is a great scarcity of 3x
11, which commands a high figure. Im-
porters have been forced, by the high
prices ruling in producing countries, to
advance their asking prices considerably.
Quebec spruce deals of poor quality are
announced to have been sold on the basis
of £8 per standard delivered on dock at
Liverpool, and New Brunswick spruce is
understood to have been purchased at
47 17s. 6d. delivered on dock at same
port. These prices, although high, are
not regarded as representing the highest
values that will be reached during the
year. The South African war has
strengthened the value of deals, particu-
larly 3 x 11 and 3 x9 pine and spruce.
——— eee

The steamer Seguin has been chartered to
carry lumber from a Georgian Bay port to
Montreal, two trips, ata reported rate of $3. 50,

The schooner Eric has been chartered to
load lumber at Annapolis, N. S., for New
York at $4. The barque Culdoon will load
lumber at Weymouth, N. S., for Buenos
Ayres, at $11, or Rosario at $12.

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.

There are very few eastern shingles moving
at present writing. The retail dealers are
largely busy in stock-taking and figuring out
jast year’s business, and, of course, actual con-
sumption is light. On the other hand, the
average crop of small winter mill operators are
busily at work and as usual are anxious to sell
each carload produced just as soon as they can
get it to the railroad. Their usual course of
procedure when ready to sell is to write a
dozen different commission houses, offering
the same shingles to all and accepting the first
orders they get. Meantime, each commission
dealer is offering these same shingles to the
trade, and the net result of so many offering
the same little lot of shingles is that the im-
pression is created that shingles are in most
abundant supply. The facts in the case are
different, for at the close of last season the
manufacturers -were thoroughly well cleaned
out, and all the small winter mills in the busi-
ness running full blast for the next ten weeks,
and piling up their product, cannot produce
as many shingles as will be wanted for
actual consumption during April and May
next.

There is, therefore, absolutely no reason for
any weakening of prices by standard mills; they
are sure to get last season’s closing figures or
better if they stand firm during the next six
weeks. If, on the other hand, they once com-
mence to make any material cut in prices, they
will only accelerate the downward tendency,
and by giving the retailers the idea that prices
have reached the top and are going down,
will actually get less business than if they hold
firmly to their price. People are never so
ready to buy ona falling as on a rising or
steady market. The best course of procedure,
therefore, is for the larger operators to stand
firm and allow the more irresponsible and
smaller mills to market their production, after
which a firm market and steady prices will
rule. The indications for business along
general, and more especially house build-
ing lines, the coming season, are most ex-
cellent, and after the shingle trade really starts,
which is usually about April Ist, the consump-
tion ought to keep even pace with the produc-
tion. Boston quotations are about as follows
for strictly standard brands : Extras, $3.10 to
$3.15 ; clears, $2.70 to $2.75 3 2nd clears,
$2.15 to $2.25. Unknown brands are
quoted probably 10 cents less on two best
grades.

WHITE PINE PRODUCTION AND STOCKS.

Valuable statistics of the white pine lumber
production and stocks are furnished by the
last issue of the American Lumberman. The
statement covers the states of Michigan, Wis-
consin and Minnesota, and includes reports
from nearly 900 mills. The total output for
1899 was 6,056,508,000 feet ; 1898, 6,155,-
300,000 ; 1897, 6,233,454,000 3 1896, 725,-
763,035. Last year, therefore, the production
was about 100,000,000 feet less than the output
of 1898. The decresse as compared with
1897 is 177,240,000 feet, but the figures for
last year show an increase over 1896. In
1895, however, the output was 1,000,000,000
feet greater than in 1899, and for the latter
year the total is 2,000,000,000 feet less than
the average output for the prosperous years
previous to 1892.

The total stocks of white pine at the mills
on December 1, 1899, amounted to 2,728,-
271,000 feet, as against a total on the same
date a year previous of 3,494,7 39,000 feet. On
December 1, 1897, the total stocks at the mills
amounted to 3,915,558,000 feet, or larger
than the stock last year by 1, 187,287,000 feet.
In 1895 the total stock was 4,180, 360,000 feet.
Going on back through previous years, it ap-
pears that the stock on hand December Ist
last was the lightest known in any year since
1890. Of the total stock, the west holds by
far the greater portion, the amount of stock on
band in the Chicago district and in Michigan
being only 477,000,000 feet.

The shingle cut at the mills in the same
district was 2,899,310,000 in 1899, 3,039,-
815,000 in 1898, and 2,360,771,000 in 1897.
The stock on December 1 last was 694,-
302,000, against 762,698,000 in 1898 and
461,734,000 in 1897.

The figures regarding lath show a curious
condition. While the output has been steadily
increasing for the last three years, the stock on
hand on December 1 of each year shows a
steady decline. The cut was 1,062,837,000
last year, 949,666,000 in 1898, and 924,-
047,000 in 1897. The stock on hand on
December 1 last was 226,780,000, against
353,731,000 in 1898 and 412,811,000 in 1897.

pany’s mill at Saginaw.

In Chicago trade in flour barrel stock
is quieter than tt has been, but prices re-
main about the same. Elm staves sell at
$7 to $8, and heading at 5 to 53% cents.
Coiled elm hoops are a trifle weaker.

Wm. Schuette & Co., of Saginaw, have
contracted with Joseph Turner for 5,000,-
ooo feet of lumber to be cut early next

demand, but there is still a good deal of trouble
about filling orders, by reason of low water at
the mills and on account of a lack of snow fer

at work, but under great difficulties, and if
more snow does not fall very soon the cut will
be a very small one that will reach the mllls.
Full agreement prices are still the rule on

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

The weather of the past week has not
brought any relief to the logging situation
in Ontario. Reports from the various
districts are, almost without an exception,
to the effect that work in the woods is be-
ing very much handicapped by the mild
weather and lack of snow. Many of the
operatorss which usually have a large part
of their stock of logs on the bank by this
time have not yet commenced to haul. It
is very probable that the supply available
for the sawing season will be considerably
less than was anticipated, and unless the
weather of the next two months should be
accompanied by heavy snowfalls there
will be insufficient water in many of the
streams in the spring to permit of floating
the logs. The lack of snow will affect the
production of hardwood logs quite as
much as that of pine.

The demand for lumber so far this win-
ter has kept up unusually well, and the
indications are that there will be a large
consumption during the present year if
exorbitant prices do not cause investors
to delay proposed undertakings. The
number of building permits issued in the
larger cities since the first of the year
augur well for a good building season,
while the large wood-working industries
have orders on hand which cannot be
completed for months to come, and which
will consume a large quantity of lumber.
Some of the lumber required is now in
stock, but this will be consumed before
the spring.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

As each week goes by indications come
to light of still higher prices for spruce

lumber. The British market may be
reckoned on to require quite as much in
the coming season as in 1899, while the
building outlook in the Eastetn States
points to a larger demand from that
quarter. There is now some doubt whether
as much lumber will be produced this year
as last season, owing to the impossibility
of getting logs to the mill. The mild
weather has interfered with logging opera-
tions in the eastern provinces as in On-
tario and the west. It is our opinion that
while manufacturers may be justified in
contracting for their season’s production
at the prices now offering, there can be
nothing lost in waiting for a week or two
before disposing of their cut. There is
likewise a strong market for shingles. A
Quebec manufacturer reports the sale of
fifty cars for future delivery at a price
equal to $2.25 per thousand f. o. b. cars at
mill.
UNITED STATES,

Peculiar conditions characterize the
lumber trade of the United States, the
tendency of which is to maintain the pres-
ent high prices. Logging Operations are
being seriously interfered with by unfavor-
able weather. Manufacturers are refusing
to contract for stock to be cut unless at
very tempting figures. At Duluth they
are asking $12 for No. 4 boards, $14 for
No. 3 boards, and $18 foc log run stock
to be cut next season. All things point
towards continued firmness in white pine
prices. At Boston white pine uppers are
said to be particularly scarce. A report
from New York states that spruce is as
firm as ever and that there 1s little fear of
a weakening in prices at least for some
monthsto come. In the Eastern States
the price of hemlock lumber has been
advanced one dollar per thousand.

Of the hardwoods, basswood seems to
be the most active. Prices are steadily
advancing, and it is certain that there will
be a shortage in this lumber in the near
future. There isa growing demand for
elm and maple. Prices of the latter at
the mills in Michigan have been advanced
to $9, $13 and $18 for culls, common and
firsts and seconds respectively.

The supply of 18 inch white pine
shingles in the eastern market is so small
that cedars are being used in their stead.
There is an increased demand for both
Washington red cedar and New Bruns-
wick white cedar shingles. The Wash-
ington production sell in the Boston market
at $3.15 to $3.25 for clears.

FOREIGN.

Statistics are now to hand of the import
of wood goods into the United Kingdom
during the year 1899. Of sawn lumber
there were imported 6,635,754 loads, and
of hewn timber 2,667,049 loads, against
6,363,357. loads and 2,331,755 loads
respectively for the preceding year. From
Canada there were imported 1,751,453
loads of sawn lumber and 114,794 loads of
hewn timber, these figures, as with the
total imports, showing a slight increase
over the year 1898. The present strength
of the market, in the face of this large
import, is due to the fact that during the
year the consumption of lumber in Great
Britain increased neacly 50 per cent, thus

reducing stocks at the close of the year to
to a lower point than at the corresponding
period one year previous. The present
tendency of prices is to further harden.
At London first quality pine sells at £27
for 3X 1I, and spruce is selling to arrive
at £9 for 3x9 second quality, and £8 Ios.
for third quality. At the recent public
sales prices have been well maintained,
3X11 first pine, II inch and up, and 12 ft.
in length, selling as high as £25 1cs., and
3x11 third quality pine at £10 10S. ;
second quality Quebec pine brought from
fio to £1410s., the latter figure being
realized for a lot of 2x9 inch, 12 feet and
up. Quebec spruce made as high as £10
15s. for first quality, and £9.10s. for a m1x-
ed lot of firsts and seconds. Fourth spruce
from St. John, N.B., made £9 for 3X11,
and £8 5s. for 3x7. Square pine timber
sold at from 778.6d. to 80s. per load, birch
planks from Halitax, N.S., at 1s.1d. per
cubic foot, and birch timber from Quebec
at 87s.6d. to 97s.6d. per load.

It will be observed by a report published
elsewhere that the Australian market 1s
improving, and that better prices are likely
to be realized in the near future.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
Thos. Boland, of Markdale, Ont., is
offering $7 to $8 per thousand feet for
hardwood logs.

A timber property at Porter’s Lake, N.
S., owned by Alfred McElImon, is under-
stood to have been purchased by Alfred
Dickie, of Lower Stewiacke, N.S., for $20,-
000.

J. W. Munro, of Pembroke, is reported
to have purchased from T. W. Murray a
timber limit of 64 square mills in Widdi-
field township which the latter purchased
at the recent Ontario Government sale.

A Saginaw lumberman who recently
visited the Georgian Bay district estimates
the log input this winter at 450,000,000
feet. Of this quantity less than 50,000,-
000 feet will be available for the Michigan

market.

There is said to be a slight weakening
in the lath market. The supply has be-

come no greater, but holders of stock
fear that as the spring approaches prices
may recede a trifle. This has resulted in
an increase in the offerings.

Geo. St. Pierre & Co., of Fraserville,
Que., have sold 10,000,000 shingles to be
manufactured this year. They expect to
make in all 20,000,000 shingles, and have
now in operation 13 machines, working
night and day. This firm recently ob-
tained a contract from the Dominion
government for the construction of a pier
at Cacouna, Que., at a cost of about 46,-
000

R. P. Rithet & Co., of Victoria, thus
refer to the British Columbia lumber in-
dustry : The lumber industry has been
unusually active, and the mills engaged
in the export trade had all the orders
they could handle at remunerative prices,
some of the larger mills having had to
keep their machinery going night and
day for a large portion of the year.
The volume of business has been some-
what curtailed, for some months back,
by the want of tonnage, but, even with
this drawback, a very satisfactory trade
has been done. The prospects for the
future are good ; many of the mills have
orders in hand to keep them going
for probably half the year. Indeed, new
business will hardly be entertained for
earlier loading than July or August.
The export price of lumber has recently
been increased to a basis of $10 per M feet.

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.

There is little change to report in the cedar
shingle trade. Consumption is not expected
to be anything but light at this season, and
orders are therefore not numerous. In regard
to future prices, there is food for thought in
the action of the Michigan and Wisconsin
Cedar Association a few days since. This
Association has held prices firmly to list in the
past, and has now advanced two better grades
16 inch shingles loc. per thousand. The Ore-
gon, Washington Territory and British Colum-
bia shingle products are also being held very
firmly.

Stocks on hand in retail yards are only fair,
the tendency of the dealers being to wait until

AUSTRALIAN MARKET REPORT.

Timber operations, say Fraser & Co., of Mel-
bourne, have shown considerable activity with-
in the last few weeks. . Not only have buyers
been purchasing freely from mostly all classes
of imports, Fut the large and quick deliveries
taken from arrivals at the wharves go to prove
that sales made ‘‘to arrive” were greater than
we think was generally anticipated. Nearly
all importations have been well dealt in of late,
not more than perhaps two or three lines be-
ing the exception. Of more importance is the
fact that in the bulk of business concluded some
slight margin of profit to those interested here
and abroad has been shown, and which has not
generally been the case during the greater part
of the year now drawing to a close. Values
are also likely to be maintained, at least with-
out any material alteration being shown one
way or the other for some time to come. But
should the actual consumption improve, which
is not improbable, it is more than possible that
in nearly all description of timber steadier if
if not better rates may be manifested. The
export and freight quotations of the principal
shipping markets to which we look for supplies

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

A report comes from the Muskoka dis-
trict that there has been a liberal fall of
snow, astnuch as nine inches in some
districts. Should this snow-fall prove to
be havebeen general throughout the north-
ern district of Ontario, it will cause lum-
bermen to take a more hopeful view of the
outlook for logging operations. It 1s
doubtful, however, whether the total quan-
tity of logs reckoned on can now be
banked. Elsewhere an estimate is given
of the contemplated production of pine
logs in the province this winter. Well-
informed persons predict that this estimate
will not be reached owing to the difficulty
of hauling the logs in the woods. The
future snow-fall will not only bear an 1m-
portant relation to logging operations, but
will also determine to a large extent the
course which prices for lumber will take.
With an abundance of snow for the bal-
ance of the winter season, prices of pine
and hardwood lumber will be likely to
weaken towards the spring, but if the fall
of snow should be light and insufficient
for expeditious logging, we would not be
surprised if still higher prices should rule.
The present movement of lumber is of
satisfactory volume. Wholesale prices at
Toronto remain unchanged, but at Ottawa
shipping cull strips have advanced about
$1.50 per thousand, the price now being
$12 to $13.50. Lath is also higher, No. 1
selling at from $3 to $3.25, and No. 2 at
from $2.50 to $2.75.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Reports to hand from the logging dis-
tricts of Quebec and the Maritime prov-
inces are more encouraging than they were
last week. In some sections the continued

“scarcity of snow is still interfering with

operations, but in other districts the situa-

tion is more favorable. On the Tobique,
Nashwaak and Miramichi rivers, in New
Brunswick, very good progress has been
made in the woods, but in the southern
portion of Quebec some of the large oper-
ators have not yet commenced to haul
their logs. Where there is sufficient snow
every effort is being put forth to get logs
to the streams, but there is a scarcity of
labor which may result in a reduced input.
The market remains firm, enquiries for
stock are numerous, and prices generally
are tending upwards. Many of the mills
are preparing to cut on specifications for
the South American market, as the returns
frem stock shipped to that market last
year was quite as good, if not better, than
from trans-Atlantic shipments. There
will also be a large quantity of lumber cut
for the United States market. The ship-
pers to Great Britain are showing much
willingness to contract for stocks, particu-
larly for early shipment. One shipper
alone is said to have contracted for up-
wards of 100,000,000 feet in New Bruns-
wick and Nova Scotia. The average price
for deals at St. John is about $12 per
thousand.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The demand for lumber in Manitoba
and British Columbia during the past
month has been such as to augur well for
an active season. Building operations are
Opening up favorably, and architects report
a large amount of prospective work. It is
believed that lumber prices in the spring
will be little if any lower than they are at
the present time. The price lists issued
show some important changes. No. 1
lath is now selling in Winnipeg at $4.50
per thousand retail, as against $2.75 one
year ago. The best quality of shingles
brings $3.25. The planing mills are so
busy that an advance in the price of sashes
and doors is looked for early in the

spring.
UNITED STATES,

Owing to higher freight rates, pine
prices have been advanced by Minne-
apolis wholesalers about 25 cents per
thousand. This is about the only change
which has taken place in the pine market,
although in respect to hemlock a con-
siderable advance has been made. At
New York the base price of hemlock is
now $20 and at Buffalo $16, with every
prospect of a further rise before long. The
report from wholesale markets is that
eastern retailers and consumers have been
holding off and demanding lower prices,
but there is now evidence that the east is
preparing to buy at such prices as it can ob-
tain. The situation thus far this winter is
opposed to any break in prices, while there
is a possibility that they may go still
higher. At Buffalo shop lumber is selling
at $39.50, and at Boston pine uppers are
worth $60 to $6z for one inch and $62 to
$65 for 1%, 14 and 2inch. Lath and
shingles are in strong demand. No 1
white pine lath is selling in the Buffalo
and Tonawanda markets at $3.75, and is
very scarce at this figure. Extra white
cos shingles bring $3 and second quality

9 the visible supply, and prices are more

likely to advance than weaken. Quarter-
ed oak has been marked higher at Boston,
ash is scarce and moving steadily, and
the supply of dry maple 1s almost com-
pletely exhausted. Elm moves more
slowly than the other hardwoods, and
there does not seem to be any prospect
of an immediate revival of demand.

FOREIGN.

The British timber market remains firm,
with a tendency towards higher prices. It
is predicted that there will be an advance
of Io per cent. on the better qualities of
pine deals, and 25 per cent. on the lower
qualities. Quebec first pine now sells in
the Liverpool market at £20 to £24 per
standard, second quality at £15 10s. to
£16 tos., and third quality at £9 §s.to £10.
Quebec spruce brings about £7 15s., and
New Brunswick spruce from £7 to £753
The quotations for waney board pine are
2s. 6d. to 2s. 10d. per cubic foot for large
average, and Is. 8d. to 2s. 2d. for second-
class wood. Square pine is quoted at
as. 6d. to 2s. 8d. for first quality, and Is.
8d. to 2s. for second-class. Birch timber
is scarce and sells readily at Is. gd. to 2s.
for 15 to 17 inch average, and Is. 6d. to
1s. 8d. for 13 to 14 inch average. The
demand for elm is also good at 2s. tod.
and 2s. 2d. respectively for first and sec-
ond class timber.

ET

THE ONTARIO LOG PRODUCTION.

From information gathered from various
sources we are enabled to place before our
readers a fairly accurate estimate of the con-
templated production of logs in Ontario this
winter. The reader will bear in mind, how-
ever, that the quantity of logs which will reach
the mills may be considerably less than that cut
owing to unfavorable logging conditions and
the probability of low water in the streams.
The figures would seem to indicate that the
cut of pine on Crown lands in Ontario wiil be in
the neighborhood of 800,000,000 feet, which is
a considerable increase on last year’s operations.

Taking, first, the north-western section of the
province, we find that the cut of pine timber
in the Rainy River district will probably reach
40,000,000 feet. There will also be taken out

about 900,000 ties for the Canadian Pacific
Railway and 500,000 ties for the Rainy River
Railway, in addition toa considerable quantity
of telegraph poles and cedar posts. It is
learned that the demand for cedar is increasing
inthe west.

In the Thunder Bay district the cut in the
woods will be in the vicinity of 25,000,000 feet,
the chief operator in this district being Alger,
Smith & Co., whose intention at the beginning
of the season was to get out 15,000,000 feet ;
but it is understood that this quantity may be
curtailed owing to a scarcity of labor.

In the western Algoma district the production
of pine will beinthe neighborhood of 80,000,000
feet, of hardwoods from 3,000,000 to 5,000,000
feet, of spruce pulp wood 50,000 cords, and of
railroad ties probably 50,000. According to
a correspondent of the Toronto Globe, the cut of
pine logs in the eastern division of Algoma will
be about 100,000,000 feet, compared with
30,000,000 feet last year, making a total of
180,000,000 feet for the Algoma district.

The most important district in Western
Ontario is that of Parry Sound and Muskoka,
in which the cut of pine timber will be approxi-
mately 200,000,000 feet. In this district the
Holland & Emery Co., of Byng Inlet, the
Parry Sound Lumber Co., Wm. Peter, of Parry
Sound, the Arthur Hill Lumber Co., and the
Bank of Toronto, working the Turner & Fisher
limits, are the largest operators. The produc-
tion of these five firms will probably reach
125,000,000 feet. The Parry Sound Lumber
Co. are understood to be taking out a quantity
of board pine.

The output in the Peterboro district is likely
to be in the neighborhood of 100,000,000 feet.
The Rathbun Co., of Deseronto, and Gilmour
& Co., of Trenton, are the largest operators.
Michle, Dyment & Son are reported to be
taking out about 100,000 cubic feet of board
timber.

Coming to the Ottawa valley, a reliable
estimate would seem to place the output on
the Ontario side at 175,000,coo feet of pine.
Of this about 75,000,000 feet will be taken out
in the district between the Petawawa and
Mississippi rivers, and the balance in Nipissing
and the district adjacent to the Mattawa river.

There will probably be taken out in districts
not covered by the above review in the neigh-
borhood of 75,000,000 feet, which brings the
total pine production of the province up to
795,000,000 feet. This estimate, of course,
only includes the timber cut on Crown lands.

Throughout the province the production of
railway ties, cedar posts and telegraph poles is
being increased, but there seems to be a
diminution in the production of board timber.

The probable production of lumber in the
Ottawa valley in the coming season is a matter
of some interest. Should all the logs cut reach
the mills, it is probable that the mill output
will be about 20 per cent. larger than last
season. Of this increase 10 per cent. will be
attributable to an increased cut of logs and 10
per cent. to the fact that a quantity of last
season’s logs did not reach the mills, owing to
low water in many of the smaller streams
tributary to the Ottawa, and are now a reserve
for the sawing season of 1900.

OTTAWA VALLEY MARKET CONDITIONS.

[Correspondence of the Canapa LUMBERMAN.]

The lumber business in Ottawa is at present
quiet, though somewhat brisker than for the
corresponding month last year. Messrs. El-
mitt & Hurdman report a good trade in hard-
woods with the United States. Prices are
also considerably higher in sympathy with the
lumber business thoughout. Ash brings $18
per thousand, an advance of about 30 per
cent. over last year’s prices. Basswood and
elm show an advance of about 20 per cent.
Only the smaller mills are cutting the hard-
woods, as the large mill owners do not find it
in their best interests to make a bid for this
branch of the business, the natural disadvan-
tages in the acquirement of a supply of hard-
wood logs being considerable.

The statement of exports of forest products
from the consular district of Ottawa is in-
teresting as showing the extent of the increase
in shipments. During the year there were
exported to the United States timber products
to the value of $2,8¢8,134-.82. For 1898 the
fizures were approximately $1,500,000 and for
1897 $2,500,000. Thus it will be seen that
Jast year there was an increase in value of
nearly $1,300,000 over the previous year and
of almost $300,000 over 1897. It will be
remembered, however, that there was a great
rush of lumber shipments to the United States
in the first half year of the year 1897, in order
to escape the payment of the duty which went
into effect in the summer of that year. The
exports of last year, therefore, make a more

All the mills in the Ottawa valley will be oper-
operated, if possible, to full capacity this sea-

‘son. Inthe Gatineau valley and Black river dis-

tricts the snowlies deep and logging operations
are being rushed. The recent cold snap has
aided the hauling operations in other districts,
and all the men that can be put to work are
hauling out logs.

A new and well equipped shingle mill has
been erected at Whitney on the line of the
Canada Atlantic Railway. The mill, which
has been built by Buckham & Carter, has a
daily capacity of 80,000 shingles.

Chitty & Co., of this city, sent a gang of 44
men to Metagama last week to work on the
limits of the Georgian Bay Lumber Co.
Smaller gangs were sent earlier in the month
to this and nearby points.

The first car load of British Columbia fir
arrived in Ottawa last week. It will be used
in the construction of the two new govern-
ment dredges, and was planed and cut in suit-
able sizes before being shipped.

Although the Ottawa Wholesale and Retail
Lumbermen’s Association has been formed but
a short while, its beneficial effects are already
being felt, there now being litte or no cutting
of prices as in former seasons. Nevertheless,
the dealers are wary and prices continue un-
settled. There is little business being done in
laths. Prices range from $3 to $3-25 per
thousand wholesale. Pine s.c. strips have
also advanced, the present prices being $11
to $13.50 per thousand. Though the build-
ing prospects are good, the retail dealers and
jobbers are not buying in large quantities, the
mill owners preferring to hold their stocks.

Speaking about the prospects for the sale of
the coming summer’s cut, 4 prominent mill
owner stated recently that an all round ad-

vance of about 20 per cent. was noticeable in
the offers being made for the cut of the various
mills, Prices did not advance last season till
many of the mill owners had closed their con-
tracts. It is expected that the advance will be
a still more favorable one and the mill owners
are holding off.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Lumbermen are in good spirits on ac-
cuunt of the recent fall of snow-and- cold
weather. Logging operations are being
rusted, and by employing additional
teams and men it is hoped to make up ina
measure for the time lost earlier in the
season. It does not seem _ probable,
nevertheless, that there will be secured
the full stock of logs anticipated at the
commencement of operations. There
have been no important changes in the
pine trade during the past week. Prices
remain firm, although the local demand
has fallen off slightly, due no doubt to the
suspension of outdoor work. Retail deal-
ers have not yet commenced to stock up
for spring trade, nor ts it expected that the
volume of business from this direction will
be large during the month of February, as
a disposition has been shown to defer the
placing of orders in the hope that prices
would weaken. In the leading cities of
Ontario an average amount of building is
insight. In Toronto the building permits
issued during the month of January were
considerably larger in value than in the
corresponding (month one year ago. As
rentals have advanced sharply within the
past twelve months, it is not likely that
the greater cost of building materials will
have much deterrent effect upon building
operations.

Hardwood manufactiirers report that
jobbers are asking exceptionally high
prices for logs. This cannot but have an
influence in maintaining prices of lumber
at their present basis. Should there bea
backward movement of hardwood prices,
it might result disastrously to mill men
who have paid fancy prices for logs.
Therefore there should be united effort to
sustain present values.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Lumbermen are now rushing logging
operations to the utmost extent, a suffi-
cient quanity of snow having fallen
throughout nearly all the lumbering dis-
tricts of the eastern provinces. Never-
theless, the ‘situation is still somewhat
critical, as operators find it almost im-
possible to greatly increase their forces
owing toa scarcity of labor. It is said

that there are but few men looking for
work. In view of this,and the fact that
for severel weeks the absence of snow
caused a cessation of operations in the
woods, it is doubtful whether the quan-
tity of logs to reach the mills will be
very large. Manufacturers who have not
already sold their stock show an indis-
position to contract very heavily lest
they should be unable to meet their obli-
gations on account of the shortage of logs.
The shippers are making very tempting
offers, particularly for deals for spring
and summer shipment. United States
specifications are rather quiet, although
no weakening in prices is reported. Clap-
boards remain inactive.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

A number of new buildings in Western
Canada are already projected, and the
indications are that there will be a lively
spring demand for lumber. The only
change in quotations made during the
week is an advance of Io per cent, in the
price of British Columbia cedar doors and *
sashes. The feeling in the trade is one
of increased firmness. It is reported that
the lumber and shingle manufacturers of
British Columbia have entered into a
combine, to be known as the British Co-
Jumbia Lumber and Shingle Manufactur-
ers’ Association, the main object being to
memorialize the Dominion government to
impose a duty on United States lumber
and shingles imported into Canada.

UNITED STATES.

Although the lumber trade of the
United States cannot be characterized as
active, the market has not yet developed
any signs of weakness. The shortage in
white pine stock is becoming more pro- °
nounced each week. There 1s an avetage
supply of No. 1 common inch and of
piece stuff, but the other grades are very
scarce. No. 3 and No. 4 boards and
strips are practically out of the market.
At Duluth manufacturers are asking $12
for short piece stuff. As a result of the
heavy demand for low grade inch, No. 3
boards have advanced in the Chicago
market until they are selling within $2 of
No. 1 boards. In that market short
piece stuff is quoted on a $16 basis. The
east is still refraining from buying to any
extent, inthe hope that wholesale prices
at Buffalo, Tonawanda, Albany and other
centres may weaken. The dealers at
these points are satisfied that prices will
not be lower, owing to the high prices
now asked at producing pvints. At
Tonawanda box lumber, 1x4 to 1x13
and over, is held at $22 to $25 per
thousand, for delivery on a New York
rate of freight. At Boston box boards
are particularly strong at $21 to $22.

The hardwood market is a little less
active than it has been, but holders of
stock are offering no concessions in price.
It is reported that log run bisswood is
being held in Michigan at $18. Elm 1s
selling moderately, as is also ash and
maple.

the trade hold that areaction will take
place in the near future, but this is not the
general view, as even if projected under-
takings should be delayed on account of
the high cost of materials, it is improb-
able that the market so far as prices are
concerned would suffer toany great ex-
tent. The shortage of logs in Sweden is
pointed to as one of the most reliable
factors in the substantiation of present
values. The reverses of the British army
in South Africa have had no visible in-
fluence on business enterprises, and al-
though discount rates are high, there is
no lack of money. There are indications
that freight rates will this year be as
high, if not higher, than in 1899, one
cause for which will be the high price of
coal. Canadian spruce continues to ad-
vance in price in all the leading markets.
In London it is said that £9 tos is being
paid for third quality,and that the quanti-
ty of 11 inch in the market is very small.
Pine prices are also very firm. The de-
mand for timber is fair, elm being more
enquired for than the other classes of
wood and selling as high as 2s Iod per
cubic foot.

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.

The past week has been one of snow and
cold weather, and as a result out-door building
operations are at a stand-still and no shingles
are entering into consumption. There are,
however, a few orders being placed, some ex-
ceptional yard dealers showing themselves will-
ing to purchase as against their future needs
when they can do so on the basis of the very
lowest quotations of to-day, say at $3.00 for
extras on Boston freight. These orders are be-
ing accepted by the commission ‘houses for
account of the small mills who are unable to
hold their product untilthe spring trade opens.
We learn from manufacturing districts that the
few orders being placed are of sufficient volume
to keep the product of the little mills well
cleaned up, and that standard brands are firmly
held by all the larger manufacturers in the full
expectation of realizing considerably better
prices when actual consumption commences in
the spring. These manufacturers are present-
ing such a united front, and seem to be so sure
of the strength of their position, that the pro-
babilities point most strongly to their ultimate

success and to an advancing market later on.
A strong factor in support of this theory is the
recent advance of ten cents per thousand on
Washington cedars. These are now quoted at
Boston at $3.20 to $3.30, and as the New
Brunswick shingles are preferred in the New
England trade at equal prices, or even in most
cases at slightly higher figures, it is plainly
apparent that our manufacturers are holding the
point of vantage and will secure full prices for
their product if they have patience to await the
demand before endeavoring to market their
goods. Figures generally asked by all stand-
ard mills are: Extras, $3.10 to $3.15 3 clears,
$2.70 to $2.75; 2nd clears and saps, $2.15 to
$2.20. As stated above, inferior and unknown
brands are being sold at ten cents off from these
figures, but $3 seems to be the minimum limit
for straight cars of extras.

A Nova Scotia paper states that 60,-
000,000 feet of logs will be cut this winter
in the counties of Lunenburg, Digby and
Annapolis.

It is reported that all the contracts for
the erection of the Ogilvie mill and ele-
vator at Fort William, Ont., have been
cancelled.

M. Brennan & Sons have secured the
contract for the annual supply of lumber
for the city of Hamilton, at $16.14 per
thousand for plank.

At Fredericton, N.B., a three mile
timber berth at the head of Burnt Brook
was sold last week to Wm. Richards &
Co., at $51 per mile.

The Italian bark Elicar sailed from
Vancouver, B.C., last week for Callao,
South America, with 978,268 feet of lum-
ber, valued at $9, 100.

Wm. Thexton, of Millbrook, Ont., has
purchased 80 acres of timber land at
Brunswick and is getting out a large
stock of logs for his mill.

Barn boards are selling in the Tona-
wanda market at the follawing prices :

and Brownlee & Co. The aggregate
amount is 150,000 cubic feet.

BUFFALO AND TONAWANDA.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LuMBERMAN.]
Snow is coming down and there is a more

hopeful feeling in the pine lumber yards. It
is quite possible that before this letter is in
print there will be sleighing all through the
Canadian woods, which will make a wide differ-
ence in the outlook. All winter so far there
has been the general complaint that there was
no snow, and that if it did not come soon there
would be a great shortage of logs and that
prices would go up nobody knows how high.
This market is fighting against a further ad-
vance, and though it now looks as though it
would have to be made, it will not need to be
so sharp if the logs cut isall got to the mills.

It is so strange to hear that there is not snow
enough in the Georgian Bay district to make
sleighing, but such seems to have been the case
untilnow. The Holland & Emery Company
reports that the outlook till now has been en-
tirely against getting any logs, and much con-
cern is manifested everywhere. Duluth lum-
bermen are sending letters kere complaining
that the winter is so far gone now that there is
small prospect, even with snow through Febru-
ary, of getting a full cut to the mills. How

if.

much of this is in the interest of price booming
will not be known till buying begins again.

Our dealers are holding off. They patrolled
the Canadian and northwestern woods early in
the winter season with some idea of buying
then, but they found nothing but prices to
look at. There was very little stock in sight,
and this so added to the strength of the mill-
man’s position that he was asking about any
price that he happened to light on. So the
buyers came home and waited. They are wait-
ing yet, really not knowing what to do, for the
east is saying as hard as it can that it is not
going to pay even the present prices, let alone
the smart advance that will have to be paid if
this market is made to pay more for what it
gets for next season’s stock.

In the hardwood yards there appears to be

some indication of greater quiet than was appar-
ent early, and there is no talk of an advance,
unless it be in maple, which is very hard to
find. Basswood is going out of market, appar-
ently. Neither lumbermen nor coopers can
find enough of it to meet the demand, and
some other wood will have to be used in place

ing through producing districts after it, most of
them cutting their own timber.

There has been an unusual amount of certain
hardwoods shipped in here from the American
shore of the lakes, but dealers say that the ask-
ing price for it this winter is such that they
cannot do anything with it and may have to
return southward for supplies. They add that
outside of white oak, basswood and black ash
there is likely to be sucha supply of hardwoods
from the lakes that the possibility of pushing
the prices up very much is not apparent.

This market is against any further advance
of the price, either in hardwoods or pine, but

‘The Goodyears appear to be preparing to

35,000,000 feet. He says that if he could sell
the standing gum at as good a figure as he did
the cottonwood he would be willing to let it go
that way. The other woods, oak, ash and
poplar, he will cut of himself.

Buffalo and Tonawanda lumbermen are get-
ting together this winter on general principles,
“feeling, apparently, that there is more than the
usual need of co-operation. Two joint meet-
ings have been held in Buffalo this winter, but
nothing was done but compare notes in a gen-
eral way and endeavor to post each other on
the situation, which will be peculiar till it
is known’ whether the price is to go up
again.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Some important transactions in the lum-
ber business have taken place within the
past week. Thecut of the Gilmour &
Hughson mills at Hull has been purchased
by an American company, after consider-
able competition between United States
and British buyers. The Hull Lumber
Company and W. C. Edwards & Com-
pany are also said to have disposed of
their coming season’s productions to a Brit-
ish firm, but this statement lacks confirm-
ation. It is known, however, that nego-
tiations to that end are in progress. In
the Georgian Bay district the sale of an
entire mill cut is announced to have been
made, and large contracts have been given
to mill owners for the sawing oflogs. As
the spring approaches a strong disposition
is shown by buyers to contract for stock,
as it Is very improbable that prices of lum-
ber will be lower than at present at least
before midsummer. Prices of common
and cull pine lumber have been gradually
gaining in strength, until it has been con-
sidered advisable to advance our quota-
tions on this class of stock about one dol-
lar per thousand. Common, IxIo and 12
inch, sells in Toronto at wholesale at $15
to $16, and mill culls at $12 to $13. Inch
siding common brings $14 to $15, ship
culls $13 to $14, and siding mill culls $11
to $12.’ No change has taken place in
hardwood quotations, although, in view of
unfavorable logging conditions, the mar-
ket is decidedly firm. Wherever dry
lumber can be found it is being purchased
for the local and United States trade.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Logging operations in the eastern pro-
vinces are progressing favorably, and it 1s
now believed that an average supply of
logs will be obtained. Almost everything
pertaining to the lumbering business is
advancing in price, so that there is little
reason to expect a decline in the quota-
tions of lumber. Spruce logs are selling
for delivery at the Miramichi booms at
$1.50 per thousand above the price one

rs

year ago, and wages in the woods are
about $22 per month for men and $35 to
$45 forteams. It is probable thatin Nova
Scotia the cut this season will be increased
toa greater extent than in New Bruns-
wick. Several manufacturers have already
sold their entire produciion oflumber. In
the Quebec market some advance in prices
have taken place. First class waney
pine, 18 inch average, is quoted at 37 to 45
cents, 14 inch ash at 23 to 28 cents, and
16 inch at 26 to 30 cents.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Trade in lumber in Manitoba and the
Territories is growing steadily, and when
spring operations shall open out in full
force an active movement will certainly
result. Manufacturers and dealers are
preparing for a season of as great activity
as that of 1899. Like conditions prevail
in British Columbia. Many new build-
ings have already been commenced, and
there are indications of absolute faith in
the lumber demand. It is expected that
in future better returns will be secured
from an equal volume of business, the
accomplishment of this being one of the
objects of the formation of the British Col-
umbia Lumberand Shingle Manufacturers’
Association.

UNITED STATES.

Eastern wholesale dealers have con-
tracted for a considerable quantity of
stock to be cut at upper lake mills during
the coming season, and the prices paid
give little encouragement to those who
hope for a decline in quotations. Some
of these purchases are referred to in
another column. An average of $12.50
per thousand for No. 4 boards is almost
unprecedented, while it is predicted that
before the opening of navigation these
boards will sell at $13 and No. 3 boards
at $25 on dock. Tonawanda and Buffalo
dealers report moderate sales and numer-
ous inquiries, from which it is deduced
that the east is short of lumber and must
enter the market for active buying in the
near future. There is an improved de-

mand for good lumber, and
te Starra1ny pom au chi dasa “5 ne

grades an advance in price has been put

on sh
ace ari

into effect. Box lumber is still wanted in
excess of the supply, and the probability
is that this class of stock will be scarce
throughout the summer. Attention is
directed tothe changes in our Buffalo and
Tonawanda quotations published else-
where.

The hardwood market is in a healthy
condition. Some dealers at Buffalo are
asking $28 for inch maple of first quality,
while others quote as low as $25. Inch-
basswood is being held at from $26 to
$28. At Boston inch maple of good qual-
ity brings from $28.50 to $30, 1%, 1% and
2 inch, $32, and 3 and 4 inch $36 to $38.
Elm is in moderate request at $32 for one
inch, $33 for 1% and 1% inch, and $34 for
2 inch.

FOREIGN.

A large consumption and firm prices
are the characteristic features of the
British wood market. In sympathy with
the high prices asked by shippers, the
prices at which brokers and importers are
offering stock are considerably higher
than one year ago. So far as Canadian
and United States trade is concerned, the
British buyers realize that if they are to
secure their average quantity of stock it
can only be done by meeting the advanced
prices, which are now firmly established.
In the Liverpool market spot goods are
selling liberally at £20 to £24 for first
quality Quebec pine deals, £16 Ios to Li7
tos for second quality, and £10 tos to £11
tos for third quality. These figures show
an advance within one month of £1 in
the price of second quality and £1 5s in
third quality. New Brunswick spruce
has advanced about Ios, now selling at
£7 15s to £8. In square and waney
timber the most important changes have
been in respect to waney board pine and
elm. Quebec waney has advanced to an
average of 2s 6d, while elm sells at from
2s 4d to 2s 1od per cubic foot. Thee
latter is an advance sinceds- i

. or January Ist of
about 6d. Birch ‘also slightly higher.

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.

There has been during the past week a
slightly increased inquiry for shingles. Not
many orders are being placed, but dealers are
awakening from their winter lethargy and are
showing some degree of interest as to prices
and market conditions. The manufacturers
are manifesting absolutely no anxiety as to
spring prices, perceiving that as soon as con-
sumption awakens, remunerative prices will be
in vogue. There is no reason to question this
judgment, as competitive varieties of shingles,
such as Michigan and Ontario white cedars
and Washington and British Columbia red
cedars, are in extremely scant supply and pro-
mise further price advances. With a fair
spring demand and a united movement
amongst the New Brunswick manufacturers
prices on N.B. extras could be raised to a basis
of $3.25 on Boston freights without giving up
the market in any degree to Western produc-
ers, for as stated in our article of last week,
New Brunswick shingles are invariably given
the preference over the western products by
purchasers in the Eastern States at equal or
even slightly higher figures. Washington
shingles are now quoted at $3.20 to $3 30.
The general prosperity now prevailing in the
United States and the extreme scarcity of dry
lumber, with the high prices such lumber is
commanding, must inevitably have a sympa-
thetic influence upon all wood goods. Confi-
dence is abroad in the land, and considering
all conditions we believe in firmly maintained
quotations for the present, and advances just
as soon as shingle consumption begins. There
is absolutely no change in quotations from last
week,

The assets of the estate of Andrew Clana-
han, lumber dealer, Glencoe, | Ont., were sold
recently at 42 cents on the dollar.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

10,0000,000 feet of lumber during the
coming season. They will make exten-
tive improvements to their mill.

A report comes fron, Oswego that sev-
eral million feet of lumber have been sold
by a leading firm at $20 per bousand in
Oswego.

The shingle manufacturers in the State
of Washington are holding firmly to price
lists. Itis expected that all the mills will
be in operation by the middle of thismonth,

It is expected that there will be a large
production of hardwood lumber in Michi-
gan and Wisconsin this season. Several
mills at Bay City, Mich., will cut hard-
woods almost exclusively.

The bark F. B. Lovitt last week loaded
697,000 feet of spruce lumber at Yar-
mouth, N.S., for Buenos Ayres. The
bark Hillside will shortly load a cargo at
same port for South America.

The cooperage stock market at Buffalo
is slightly easier han it has been. Bass-
wood heading is selling at 6% to 634
cents a set and elm staves at $9 to $9.50
for first class. At ( hicago considerable
enquiry is reported for 30 inch No. 1 elm
staves.

The Hanbury Manufacturing Co., of
Brandon, Man., have 200 men and 65
teams employed on their limits in the
Riding mountains. Work so far has been
very successful, and the cut of logs is ex-
pected to be much greater than that of
any previous season.

Some comment was excited in Chicago
last week by the receipt of enquiries for
stock to be shipped to Ottawa. These en-
quiries were for long wide joists, and in one
instance it developed that 2x1 4-20 feet was
selling in the Chicago market on a basis of
$2 per thousand less than the same stock 1s
bringing in Ottawa.

Two vessels cleared from British Co-
lumbia ports last week with lumber. The
Guy C Goss, for Philadelphia, loaded 1,-
030,000 feet of rough timber at the Hast-
ings mill, Vancouver, and the Italian ship
Altcar loaded 930,616 feet of lumber at
the Moodyville mill for Callao, South
America.

E. D. Davison & Sons, of Bridge-
water, N. S., will cut about 15,000,000 feet
af lumber next season. They have al-
ready sold 5,000,000 feet for shipment to
Cardiff, Wales. The S. P. Benjamin Co.,
of Wolfville, N.S., will cut 10,090,000 feet,
as against 8,000,000 feet last year. This
company ships quite largely to South
America.

Richardson & Avery, of Duluth, Minn.,
have just sold their entire production of
the coming season to Hughson & Co. and
C. P. Easton & Co., of Albany, N.Y. The
Asbland Lumber Co., of Ashland, Wis.,
sold last week 6,000,000 feet of white pine
lumber, log run, to eastern parties. The
largest lumber deal so far this season was
that made by Alger, Smith & Co., of
Grand Marais, Mich., who sold to A, SS
Kibbee & Son and Arnold & Co., of Al-
bany, and the Skillings, Whitneys &
Barnes Lumber Co., of Boston, 50,000,000

feet of stock to be cut during the coming
season. The consideration is in the neigh-
borhood of $700,000. Another sale is that
of 16,000,000 feet of white pine by the
Dead River lumber Co., of Marquette,
Mich., to Toledo parties, the consideration
being $200,000.

A gentleman who recently visited the
Michigan and Wisconsin hardwood dis-
tricts states that loggers are asking
$18 to $20 per thousand feet for oak
logs, $10 to $12 for basswood and soft
elm, $14 to $16 for ash, $12 to $14 for
birch and $14 to $16 for rock elm.
Some of the asking prices oflumber are
given as $15 for pile run basswood,
$18 for pile run rock elm and $25 for
pile run oak, the term “ pile run” being
used to include everything cut from the
log, including mill culls. Some sales of
Michigan lumber have lately been report-
ed at $19.50 on dock at the mill for
soft elm shipping culls and better, $16.-
50 for Jog run basswood, $19.50 for log
run ash and $12 for log run beech.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.

[Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.]

There is no change in the Ottawa lumber
market at present, but indications point to an
early advance in several lines. Lath is firm at
$3 to $3.25 per M. for No. 1, and at $2.50 to
$2.75 for second grade. There is also a bet-
ter demand for shingles, though the prices
show no advance. At present there is little
shipping being done, but prospects are good.
Several sales of next year’s cut are already re-
ported. ‘Giimour & Hughson, of Hull, have
sold to Skillings, Whitney & Barnes, of Og-
densburg, all their cut with the exception of
the red pine, which is still on the market. In
previous years this company has cut large
quantities of deals for the English market, but
this year nothing will be cut for that market.
The above sale is understood to represent in the
neighborhood of $500,000, and the Standar
Oil Company is believed to be interested in the
deal.

So great was the eagerness of the American
buyers to secure the Gilmour & Hughson cut
that they brushed aside the question of high
prices sooner than see the English buyers secure
the plum.

Negotiations are now pending between the
Hull Lumber Company and Mr. W. J. Todd,
of the firm of Watson & Todd, Liverpool,
England, who bought the cut last season. :
C. Edwards & Co. are also negotiating with
the same firm, but the contracts have not as
yet been closed.

It is likely that the season’s out of Gilmour &
Co.’s mill at Trenton will go to American buy-
ers if pending negotiations are an indication.
No further deals in the Ottawa Valley areas
yet reported.

Messrs. Hurdman & Elmitt report that dur-
ing the past their initial season in the Ameri-
can market, they shipped about 500,000 feet
to New York parties. During the coming
season this firm expects to do a largely increas-
ed business in this same direction.

Owing to the firm prices prevailing in the
Ottawa lumber market, only the better class’ of
dwellings and other structures will be erected
during the coming season.

size.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

Operations in the woods are not being
carried on satisfactorily, owing to con-
tinued changes in the weather. It has
been estimated that at least 25 per cent,
of the production of logs will be left in the
woods. For some time log hauling in
certain districts has been at a standstill.
A shortage in the lumber? production of
the coming season is now almost a cer-
tainty, although it should be remembered
that some logs were carried over from last
season, and these will be available for
early sawing.

Lumber prices have shown no weak-
ness during the past week. Prices of
every grade are being maintained. At
Toronto mill cull sidings, one to two inch,
are selling at $14.50, inch mill cull stocks
at $15.50, and common stock at from
$15.50 to $19.50, the latter figure being
obtainable for 1x12 and 2x12 inch stock.
Canada dressing, Io to 16 feet, sells at
from $19.50 to $22, one inch dressing and
better sidings at $27, and 1¥ to 2 inch
dressing at $21.50. Inch No. 1 cuts and
better bring $32, 1{ inch $35, and 1%
inch $36. No. 2 cuts and better brings
$33.50, and No.1 and No. 2 cuts, 1% and
2 inch, $30 and $26 respectively. Com-
mon and box, 1% and 1% inchxio and
12 inches, sells at $17, and No. z box
sidings, 14 and 1% inches, at $16.

As yet there have been no signs ofa
decline in prices of lath. No. 1 white
pine, I % inch, are quoted at $3.75 per M
f.0. b. cars, Toronto, No. 2 at $3, and
Norway 13% inch at $3.50.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Lumbermen in the eastern province
continue to complain of the difficulty in
getting their logs out of the woods, ard
there is a possibility that some of the mill
owners will not get sufficient logs to enable
them to fill contracts already entered into.
The cost of logging so far has been very

Il.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

heavy. It is encouraging to learn that in
some parts of New Brunswick logging con-
ditions have been more favorable, there
being sufficient snow to make fairly easy
work for the teams. Although the move-
ment of lumber at the present time is not
large, prices are very firm, with signs of
advancing considerably.

UNITED STATES.

The United States lumber market is
rather quiet. Retail dealers have not yet
entered the market with any liberality, and
consequently wholesale dealers have found
their stocks quite adequate to supply the
demand. There has been some buying
by wholesale dealers, but it has not been
oflarge volume. From these remarks it
must not be inferred that the market 1s
weakening ; on the other hand, such
sales of stock as have been made favor
a continuance of the present high prices.
No. 3 and No. 4 boards have been sold in
the Duluth market at $13 and $15 _ respec-
tively. There have been some advances
made recently in the wholesale prices of
pine, which are now believed to have
reached the top notch. At Albany fine
common is about $4 higher than the
quotations printed in last issue, No. I, 2
and 3 cuts $2 higher, moulding strips $4,
shipping and barn boards $1, dressing $2
and shaky clear $2 higher than last quota-
tions. Both pine and spruce lath are
quoted in the Albany market at $3.50.

The hardwood market is a trifle easier
in some respects, white oak selling at
about $2 per thousand lower. There isa
goodcallfor ash, maple, basswood and elm.

FEBRUARY 21, 1900

FOREIGN.

Reports from the British markets are of
an encouraging character, and as prices
of wood goods in all producing countries
are unusually firm, there seems little
reason to expect a break in the prices in
Great Britain. The war thus far does not
appear to have affected the timber market.
About the only unfavorable feature is the
possibility of the present high prices cur-
tailing the consumption. It is said that
the cost of building vessels on the Clyde
at the present time is fully 50 per cent.
greater than it wasone year ago. The rea-
son for this is found in the high price not
only of timber, but also of iron and steel.

During the month of January Cana-
dian lumber advanced in price in nearly
all the leading markets of Great Britain.
At Liverpool the advance on second and
third quality Quebec pine deals was about
£1 per standard, and on spruce deals
about £1 5s. There is a brisk demand
for birch, which advanced during January
about 3d. per cubic foot. In elm the
advance was still greater, being quite 7d.
Waney pine is about 2d. higher, but square
wood remains at Is.3d. to 2s.4d. per cubic
foot. At Glasgow an advance of about $s.
was made on first quality broad and 7 to
11 inch second quality pine deals ; 11 inch
fourth quality is about 5s. higher and nar-
rows about 7s., the latter selling at £6 17s.
6d. to £7 11s 3d. per standard. Quebec
spruce deals have also been marked up
about 5s. The current prices are given
elsewhere. Some improvment is reported
in the Australian market, and higher prices
are anticipated.

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.

The shingle trade in New Brunswick and
eastern markets is very quiet, and practically
no orders are being placed. The weather has
been particularly inclement, and no shingles
are entering into consumption. As a result,
dealers will not buy at any price, being fairly
well stocked, Western shingles are retaining
their fullest tendency and show no indications
of any softening. N. B. cedars, it is believed,
are the cheapest article in the market to-day,
and should enjoy a brisk demand as soon as
there is trade for any variety of shingles what-
ever. Prices seem. to be holding absolutely
steady. Ruling quotations at Boston are:
Extras, $3.10 to $3.15; clears, $2.65 to
$2.75 ; 2nd clears, $2.10 to $2.20; saps, $2.00
to $2.15. Straight cars of extras are quoted by
some few makers at $3.00, but these same
manufacturers are asking full quotations of
$3. 10 for extras in mixed cars, and are holding
all lower grades most firmly.

PINE PLANK AND SCANTLING WANTED.

Messrs. Reid & Co., wholesale and re-
taillumber dealers, Toronto, announce in
this issue that they are in the market for
pine plank and scantling for early delivery,
and that they are prepared to contract for
three million feet of pine plank and one
million feet of 4x4 scantling, to be cut
during the season of 1900. This firm
again secured the contract for the annual
supply of lumber to the city of Toronto,
and we understand that other large orders
for local delivery have been placed with
them. Their offices are on the Esplanade,
at foot of Berkeley street.

The assignment is announced of W. G.
Kadatz, saw mill owner, Sebastopool Tp.

FIRM PRICES AT BOSTON.

{Correspondence of the Canapa LUMBERMAN.]

Ata meeting of the spruce manufacturers
held in Boston on February 11th, it was voted
to maintain the combination prices made in the
fall on all sizes of spruce, and to raise the
price on laths, 13 inch to $3.15, and 14 inch
to $3.00. Reports from all ‘the spruce-pro-
ducing sections indicate that the cut of logs
will not be as large as was anticipated, owing
to the poor conditions for logging and lack of
snow. Until within a short time there has
been but very little snow in the northern
section of Maine, New Hampshire and Ver-
mont, and these conditions must necessarily
make a short season and smaller stock of logs.

The trade from the retail yards in this
section is very light. They are only buying
what stock they need for an assortment, and
the most of them are carrying very small
stocks. The outlook for building is not very
encouraging, as there is but very little new
work in sight, which will result in a light trade
for the next two months.

What few mills that are sawing this winter
are disposing of their output at good prices,
and the feeling is general that with the open-
ing of spring the trade will start up ona good
basis of prices and a good demand. Prices
rule about as follows :

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

That white pine lumber prices will re-
main at the present basis well into the
summer months is the view generally ad-
varced by the Inumber trade of the
Georgian Bay district. Manufacturers in
attendance at the annual meeting of the
Lumbermen’s Association last week were
almost unanimous on two points, first,
that prices have now reached their height,
and, secondly, that there will be no gen-
eral reduction in prices for at least three
months to come. After that time no one
would predict what course the trade might
take. Price lists of the new cut have been
compiled, and compare very closely with
the prices now asked for dry stock. It
has been learned that in Algoma the
weather has been less favorable for logging
operations than in other parts of Western
Ontario. The report from the Ottawa
Valley is that very good work is being
done in the woods. Prices in that district
are unchanged excepting mill cull stock,
which has advanced about one dollar per
thousand.

Exception has been taken to the prices
given in last issue at which certain grades
of pine were being sold in the Toronto
market. It should be explained that these
figures were intended as the maximum
prices, which could only be obtained for the
grades of some of the large t Georgian
Bay mills. Mill cull sidings, for instance,
were Said to be selling at $14.50, and inch
mill cull stocks at $15.50. The average
quotation for these grades, however, is
perhaps fiully one dollar less than these
figures. It is impossible to give quotations
which will represent the price at which all
manufacturers sell certain grades, as,
owing to the absence of uniform inspection
the grade of one manufacturer may be
much higher than that of another, and
consequently a higher price will be paid
for his stock. Since last issue we cannot
learn of any weakening in prices of pine
or hardwood lumber, shingles or laths.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The purchase by a Montreal shipper of
the entire cut of white pine of a well-
known manufacturer is the most import-
ant event of the past week. Although
the actual figures have not been made

Ee

public, it is generally admitted that the
price is a further substantiation of the
strength of the market. Manufacturers
in Quebec and the Maritime provinces
report enquiries for stock from the Eastern
States, and liberal offers are being made.
Clapboards, which have long been lifeless,
are showing some improvement, extra
spruce bringing $29 to $30 and clear
spruce $27 to $28 on Boston rate of
freight. A correspondent, in the monthly
edition, gives interesting information
regarding the production of lumber in
New Brunswick. It it shown that the cut
by portable mills will be considerable, but
that manufacturers generally are looking
for higher prices.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,

The annual meeting of the Western
Retail Lumbermen’s Association being
held in Winnipeg last week, most of the
dealers put business aside for the time
being. Reports go to show, however, that
there is a considerable demand for lumber
at good prices. Snow has fallen in the
Lake of che Woods district and through-
out Western Manitoba. This has facili-
tated work in the woods and stimulated
trade generally. The British Columbia
mills are pressed with orders. It is said
that fifteen vessels have been chartered to
load lumber at the Chemainus mills for
foreign destinations. The higher prices
put into effect recently are being freely
paid.

UNITED STATES.

Retail dealers and consumers in the
Eastern States have not yet commenced
to buy for their spring requirements, but
it 1s admitted that ere long they will be
compelled to yield. It is not believed
that there will be any decline in lumber
prices for several months tocome. The
eastern wholesale dealers are apparently
reconciled to this view, as quite heavy
purchases have been made by them at
upper lake producing points. In the
upper Mississippi district the log crop is
likely to be 25 per cent. less than was
anticipated at the beginning of the season.
Of the prospective lumber production in
the Duluth district, there has been sold
Over 100,000,000 feet, or about 25 per
cent. of the total production. The buik
of the sales made consists of low grade
stock, and much of it is for shipment to
eastern distributing markets. Prices have
ruled about as follows: No. 4 boards, $12;
No. 3, $14; No. 2, $16; No. 1, $18; D
stock and better, $30 to $31 ; No. 1 stock
and better, $33 to $35. Buffalo and
TonaWanda dealers held a joint meeting
on the 17th inst., but it was decided to
take no decisive step on the price question
as yet. It seems to be generally under-
stood, however, that there will soon be an
advance in the price of low grade pine.

Hardwood prices remain at about the
same basis. In Michigan the hardwood
production for the present winter will be
about 75 per cent. of what it was one year
ago, divided as follows: Ash, 40 per cent.;
elm, 70 ; basswood, 60 ; birch, 75; maple,
75; red oak, 60 ; and beech, 125 per cent.
On the other hand, it is estimated that in
Wisconsin the cut will equal if not exceed
that of one year ago. ;

Lath prices keep firm. In Chicago
No. 1 dry white pine lath sells at $4.50,
and at Buffalo and Tonawanda from
$4.50 to $5. In the New England States
spruce lath is quoted at $3. Although the
demand for shingles is not active, prices
are steady. The stock of shingles in
Michigan at the present time Is not
believed to exceed 25 per cent. of that of
one year ago, this being true of both 16
and 18 inch pine and cedars.

FOREIGN.

Prices of wood goods in the British
market have shown no important changes
within the past week. The stock of deals
and battens at the leading importing
centers is steadily becoming reduced, but
there is some fear that the present high
prices may result in a falling off of con-
sumption. At recent auction sales prices
have been well maintained. Consumers
are each day becoming more convinced
that the present prices are likely to rule
for some time to come, and as a result are

(CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

showing a greater disposition to contract
for their requirements. s

Lumber is in good demand in the West
Indies. At Barbados white pine is selling
at $22.50 per thousand for first quality,
and $17 for second quality. Spruce of
first quality brings $19.50, and spruce
scantling $14. Gaspe cedar shingles are
quoted at $3.50, cedar laying at $2.40, and
spruce laying at $2.27.

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.

The New Brunswick shingle market remains
unchanged. There are a few sales being
recorded at standard values. There is some
little inquiry awakening in the country districts,
mostly for the lower grades. The city dealers
are still quite lethargic. There is no doubt as
to the firmness of the market. The fact that
the manufacturers have gone through two such
quiet months as the last without any price
cutting shows very clearly that they are abso-
lutely determined to maintain present prices,
and it is also a strengthening element of the
situation. Spring trade is apparently going to
be slow in starting this year, for the reason that
the majority of the dealers bought quite largely
last autumn, and have as a consequence fair
stocks on hand. The early demand, therefore,
will likely be for clears and 2nd clears for the
country trade. As the Pacific coast shingles
are firm at $3.20 on Boston rates New Bruns-
wick cedars are sure to have the call when
business opens. Quotations are as follows,
delivered at Boston: Extras, $3.10 to $3.15;
clears, $2.65 to $2.75; 2nd clears, $2.15 to
$2.25; saps, $2.10 to $2.20, 1m mixed cars.
Straight cars of extras are being sold at $3.00,
but we hear of absolutely nothing lower.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
[Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.]
There is a lull in the lumber business in this

center at present, but the lumbermen are
confident that they are approaching a season
of great activity. No further large sales are
reported, and it is understood that the mill
owners are holding off for even higher prices,
beleiving that the cut of some of the mills will
be short, as the winter operations are restricted
by the recent unsatisfactory weather. Should
this be the case, foreign buyers will be com-
pelled to raise their figures, and the mill
owners now holding out will profit by the
position they have taken.

Although the winter on the whole has been
a rather poor one for lumbering operations,
reports from various limits would indicate that
the work of getting out the logs is progressing
favorably. Many of the mills last season cut
all the logs in stock, so that they must neces-
sarily depend on the supply now being taken
off the limits. A reliable authority places the
probable increase of the coming’summer’s cut
over last season’s at 20 per cent., or about
1,000,000 feet. J. Kk. Booth, Gilmour & Hugh-
son and other extensive manufacturers worked
their mills to their utmost capacity last year,
and cannot increase their cut this year, hence
the increase will not be as great as present
indications might seem to show.

One proof of the extent of the present bush
operations is seen in the fact that the Hull Axe
Company is unable to keep up with orders.
The output of this factory is 12 dozen axes per
day, but this does not more than partially
satisfy the extra demand made by the Ottawa
firms. Ottawa dealers in lumbermen’s supplies,
clothing, provisions, etc., also report a greatly
increased trade with the camps.

Mr. A. E. Dyment, M. P., of Thessalon,
Ont., has arrived in the Capital for the session.
Mr. Dyment, who represents Algoma, states
that the lumbering operations in the Georgian
Bay district are unusually active. From
another reliable source it is learned that the
increase is even greater than it is in the Ottawa
valley, amounting to fully 4o per cent.

The output of square timber by Ottawa firms
for the English market this coming season will,
according to official figures, be only 400,000
cubic feet. In 1889 the amount sent over was
5,000,000 feet, showing in eleven years the
surprising decrease of 92 per cent. Ottawa
lumbermen now find it much more profitable
to manufacture the square timber in their own
mills into board lengths and sizes. The Eng-
lish trade in these has increased in proportion
to the decrease in the demand for square
timber. Gilmour & Hughson, a firm that
formerly cut a large quantity of deals for the
English market, will this year cut none, con-
fining themselves to cutting thinner stock. In
manufacturing the timber into board sizes
themselves, the Ottawa mill men find there is
little or no waste, while the English market
can be supplied with even more satisfaction.

McKee & Co., of Ottawa, dealers in mill
men’s supplies, report that inquiries based on
the coming senson’s operations are numerous,

indicating the probability of increased activity.

_Mr. E. C. Grant, of the Ottawa Lumber
Company, has just returned from a prolonged
visit in the British Isles. Mr. Grant reports
that the prospects for an increased trade with
the British market were never better.

As yet few American or English buyers have
put in an appearance in Ottawa, but it is
expected they will shortly arrive.

Hurdman & Elmitt, the Rideau Lumber
Co., and other firms interested in the wholesale
lumber business, report that the market remains
firm, with no marked demand for any special
lines. Pine box culls have advanced from $13
to $14 per thousand for best stock, and pine
mill culls have advanced from $11 to $12 for
best grade. Lath, sidings and strips show no
advaace, the same applying to hardwood.

J. O. D. Latour & Co., a firm operating a
line of towing and passenger boats on the
Kippewa, are endeavoring to sell out the
business, which is a flourishing one.

OTTawa, February 26th, 1900.

LARGE LUMBER PURCHASE.

Mr. E. H. Lemay, wholesale lumber mer-
chant, of Montreal, has just closed a contract
with McLachlin Bros., of Arnprior, Ont., for
the purchase of their entire production of white
pine to be cut during the ensuing season. It is
understood that this will be about 65,000,000
feet, and the transaction represents a consider-
ation of about $1,000,000. The lumber
manufactured by McLachlin Bros. is second to
none in Canada or the United States, and is
noted for its fine appearance, smooth sawing,
and the splendid way in which it is butted.
These considerations have made for it name in
the British market. The above firm have also
gained a reputation for the careful manner in
which they handle their lumber and protect it
from the weather. The bulk of the pine pur-
chased will be exported to Great Britain and
the United States.

As previously announced, Mr. Lemay has
secured the pine deal contract for the road de-
partment of the city of Montreal. The deals
required for this work are all t1 inches wide,
and will probably reach in quantity about
2,000,000 feet.

THE LIVERPOOL MARKET.

The arrivals from British North America
during the past month, says Farnworth &
Jardine, of Liverpool, have been 5,070 tons
register, against 3,320 tons register during the
corresponding month last year, and the aggre-
gate tonnage to this date from all places during
the years 1898, 1899 and 1900 has been 21,739,
15,487, and 15,752 tons respectively. The
business of the past month has been steady,
with little fluctuation in values to report. The
arrivals have been fairly moderate, the de-
liveries gencrally satisfactory, and stocks all
round are comparatively light. Owing to the
strong advance in values demanded for Cana-
dian woods little progress up to the present
has been made in contracting for next season.

Pine TiMBER.—Of WaANEY the deliveries
have been fairly satisfactory, and the stock is
now very light. Values are firm, and for
next season much higher prices are quoted.
SQUARE continues in limited request, and the
stock is sufficient. RED PINE: There is
little enquiry; the stock is small. Oak: There
has been rather more enquiry, and values are
firmer; the deliveries have been fair, but
stocks, though not heavy, are sufficient for
present requirements. ELM is in a strong
position, prices high, and the stocks light.
Asu is in limited demand and there is very
little in stock. PriNE DEaLs have moved off
more freely, there has been more enquiry, and
considerable sales have been made from yarded
stocks at improved values. The stock, how-
ever, is still large, but consists chiefly of odd-
ments. Rep Ping Dsats continue in good
request at firm prices.

SprucE AND PINE DEALS.—The import
amounts to 1,800 standards, about the same as
corresponding month last year. The deliveries
have been fairly large, and stocks being further
reduced, are now in a moderate compass.
There is no change in value to report. As
shippers’ ideas are very firm, contracting in
this market has been slow, though a few con-
tracts have been negotiated. PINE DEALS
have improved in value ; stocks are fair.

good consumption at steady values, but the
stock has increased, and is now sufficient.

but further supplies are about due.

CANADA LUMBERMAN

WEEKLY EDITION. Ill.

THE GEORGIAN BAY CUT.

The American Lumberman, estimating the
r900 cut of white pine in the Georgian Bay
district, states that while only three or four
mills will be in commission in the Georgian
Bay district this season, old ones have been
rebuilt and preparations made to run many of
the mills day and night. This authority gives
the following summary of the probable output
of the Georgian Bay mills for the season of
1900 :

Our contemporary also remarks that in active
seasons of the past as high as 300,000,000 feet
of logs have been exported to feed Michigan
mills, while this season barely 50,000,000 will
thus be directed. While the Georgian Bay
production may possibly reach the figures given,
473,000,000 feet, when we consider that this
quantity represents the cut in past seasons of
Georgian Bay mills as well as the mills in
Eastern Michigan, it cannot be regarded as an
excessive production, and likely to seriously
affect the market. Allowing 250,000,000 feet
as the quantity which would, under former con-
ditions, be manufactured in Michigan, but
223,000,000 feet remain as representing the

Georgian Bay production.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

The movement of lumber during the
past week has been restricted by inclem-
ent weather. The roads have been
almost impassable, and no retail trade of
any account has been done. This, how-
ever, is but a temporary cessation, as 1s
borne out by numerous enquiries for
stock which continue to be reported by
manufacturers and dealers. United States
buyers have been among the most urgent
seekers of stock, their attention having
apparently been diverted to Ontario by
the high prices asked in the Lake Su-
perior district. The cut of the mills of
Gilmour & Co., of Trenton, is reported to
have been sold for shipment to the United
States market. In recent years this firm
manufactured largely for the British
market. Prices of pine lumber, shingles
and lath are without any material change.
Hemlock lumber appears to be stiffening
in price, and that material promises to be
more generally used in the future. This
is evidenced by the fact that last year the
hemlock production of the United States
was 200,000,000 feet more than in the
previous year.

Hardwood manufacturers are holding
prices firmly, and there is an apparent
disposition to sell their stocks log run.
This feature has probably limited, in a
slight degree, the transactions in_hard-
wood stocks.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,

Lumbering operations in Quebec are
being pushed with the utmost vigor, but
it has been found almost impossible to
obtain sufficient teams and men, although
high wages are being offered. This is
alsothesituation in the maritime provinces.
The work of hauling logs has been
much more expensive than usual. On
the head waters of the St. John river, and
on the Miramichi and Restigouche rivers,
in New Brunswick, there has been plenty
of snow, but on the bay shore and in
Nova Scotia serious delays have been
experienced. Deal prices have shown no

‘advance during the past week. Shippers

are meeting with some difficulty in secur-
ing tonnage. Several steamers have
been taken at 49s 6d per standard from
St. John to west coast of England. This
is at least 1os above the rate of February,

1899.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,

Reports from the western provinces
are favorable to a large trade in lumber
this year. Country dealers have been
placing large orders with mills in the ex-
pectation of an active building season
throughout the farming districts., In
Manitoba prices of white pine timber, di-
mension, and third common boards are
50 cents higher than the list issued in
January. Hardwood prices have also ad-
vanced in sympathy with the higher
price; ruling for that lumber throughout
Canada and the United States.

UNITED STATES.

Retail dealers and consumers in the
Eastern States have not yielded to the
demands of the west in respect to prices.
The prices asked at upper lake producing
points areso much higher than the east
seems willing to pay that wholesale deal-
ers at Buffalo, Tonawanda and other
points are at a loss to know what prices
to ask.\ The opinion prevails, however,
that as soon as the spring demand shall
present itself, the east will be compelled
to give way. At present retail trade is
quiet, but there isa continued active de-
mand for lumber for manufacturing pur-
poses. Box lumber is consumed almost
as fast as it leaves the saws. The most
important changes in price have been
made in Chicago, where an advance aver-
aging about $2 per thousand feet has
been made on everything but siding,
ceiling and piece stuff. The price of
5 lath has been advanced from $5.25 to
$5.50, 3% remaining at $4.50 for white
pine and $4.25 for mixed.

Hardwoods are moving moderately,
maple and birch showing the most ac-
tivity. The feeling is confident, and there
is no prospect of a decline in prices.

The shingle demand generally is rather

slow. At Buffalo some sales of hemlock
shingles have been made at $2.25 whole-
sale, while best white pine shingles bring
$4, with white cedars slightly less.

FOREIGN.

The high prices asked by shippers is
restricting trade in Great Britam, and as
yet it is said that comparatively little
stock has been sold to arrive from the St.
Lawrence. The freight market is a dis-
turbing feature, steamship owners show-
ing little disposition to enter into con-
tracts ahead. Apart from these aspects
of the market, the outlook for Canadian
lumber is promising. Pine and spruce
stocks are. low, and spot goods are
realizing high prices. At arecent public
sale Quebec spruce of first quality sold at
£11 15s, and second quality at £9 15s
and £10. A line of unassorted narrow
battens brought £8, which 1s near the
price of Baltic whitewood of equal di-
mensions.

The corporation of Kingston, Ont.,
will shortly call for tenders for the annual
supply of sidewalk lumber.

The Harbor Commissioners of Quebec

THE BOSTON MARKET.
[Correspondence of the Canapa LuMBERMAN.

The feature of the present spruce lumber
market is the fact of a good many orders for
forward delivery, extending well into the~
spring. The feeling is that the spruce situa-
tion is firm; that bad weather and too much
snow in February, together with a lack of
snow early in the winter, will reduce the
volume of logs that will be got out fully 25 per
cent. Full agreement prices on spruce are
reported to be the rule, and in some cases even
better prices are noted :

HARDWOOD LUMBERMEN’S ASSOCIATION.

In the March number of the CANADA
LUMBERMAN blank forms. were enclosed re-
questing an opinion from hardwood lumber
manufacturers and dealers regarding the for-
mation of a Hardwood Lumbermen’s Associa-
tion for the province of Ontario. We would
respectfully request that all persons interested
return these forms, duly filled in, to this
office, at the same time giving a free ex-
pression of opinion on the subject.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

The logging situation in Ontario has
been somewhat relieved by the weather of
the past two weeks. There is now abund-
ance of snow in the woods, in fact, al-
most too much for expeditious hauling
of logs, but reports from the northern
districts state that operators are making
fair progress and putting forth every
effort to get logs to the streams. While
there is no doubt that some logs will be
left in the woods, the present outlook is
that a sufficient stock of logs will be
secured to keep the mills in operation for
the greater part of the season. This, of
course, is provided that all the logs that
are banked reach the mills, none being
hung up as a result of low water. From
information gathered, it seems that the
cut of hardwood logs in western Ontario
this winter has been quite heavy, and
that the lumber production will be up to ~
the average, if it does not exceed the cut
of last season.

Although there is not a heavy movement
of lumber, the market is decidedly firm,
Some of the manufacturers have advanced
their quotations on pine uppers, dressing,
wide common, and mill run stock, but as far
as can be ascertained this step is confined
to mills that have adopted a high stand-
ard of grading, and consequently no
changes have been made in our price
list. United States dealers are looking to
Ontario for stock, and a brisk spring
trade is expected as soon as the building
season shall open. The mills, in antici-
pation of this, and in view of the shortage
in lumber stocks, will start operations
earlier than usual.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The local movement of lumber has
been restricted by the cold weather, which
has prevented operations in the building
line. Architects in Montreal and Quebec
report a considerable amount of work in
hand, and when the building season
opens there will likely be a lively demand
forlumber. It is expected that the prices
for local stock will be affected to some
extent by the higher prices ruling in the
export trade. While no changes have
been made in our Quebec price list, it is
understood that the market for both deals
and timber is strengthening. There have
been numerous enquiries from British
importers for birch timber, and the pros-
pects are that operators in this wood will
realize enhanced values before the year
closes. The deal market at St. John 1s
firm, shippers continuing to buy for ex-
port, but so far few vessels have been
chartered owing to high rates.

II.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

UNITED STATES.

Enquires have been made by the
American Lumberman to ascertain the
prospective input of logs this winter.
The replies received seem to indicate that,
in comparison with last winter, there will
be a decrease of from Io to 15 per cent.
in the production of pine logs, and an
increase of about 10 per cent. in the cut
of hardwoods. If this estimate should
prove nearly correct, it is not probable
that the season of 1900 will witness any
material depreciation in lumber prices.
The market is now very strong. Sales
are reported at Wisconsin mills of mill
culls at $12, No. 3 boards at $13, No. 2
at $15 and No. 1 at $17, and it is pre-
dicted that mill culls will reach $13 before
many weeks. It is stated that the cut of
mill culls in some districts for the first
half of the season has already been sold.
At Bay City and Saginaw some changes
in prices of pine have been made within
the past fortnight. One to two inch
uppers and selects have been advanced by
about $2 per thousand. No. 1 and No. 2
barn boards are about $1 higher, as is
also shipping culls of narrow widths.
Shaky clear stock has advanced $2,
selling from $28 to $30. Shingles are
unchanged, but No. 1 white pine lath is
slightly easier, selling in the Bay City
market at $3.50, against $3.75 a few
weeks ayo. Attention is also directed to
the changes in the Buffalo and Tona-
wanda price list of white pine stock.

Firmness still characterizes the hard-
wood market. Basswood has been sold
at $22.50 for firsts and seconds delivered
in Chicago. Brown ash is held at high
figures, Wisconsin manufacturers asking
$21 for log run at the mills.

Shingle prices remain stationary.
Dealers in the Eastern States are holding
stock firmly, believing that the production
this season will not be large.

FOREIGN.

Stock in the hands of brokers in Great
Britaln is gradually becoming diminished.
Buyers now seem to realize that the high
prices asked for spct goods are warranted
by the enhanced values at which con-
tracts for new stock are being placed. At
London, Liverpool and Glasgow the vol-
ume of trade is considerable, spruce and
pine selling freely. Prices realizedat recent
public sales have been exceptionally good.
Second quality spruce sold in London at
£10, third quality 3x9 at £9 15s, and
3x 7 and 3x8at £9 5s. In that market
there is a great scarcity of fourth quality
spruce. Several sales of pine are report-
ed, and considering the quality of the
stock, the prices must be regarded as
satisfactory.

THE BOSTON MARKET.
[Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.]

The tone of the spruce lumber market is
firm. There are indications that at the meet-
ing of the agreement association on the 14th
prices will be advanced. This will be done
on the general firmness of the situation. There
is a certainty that the volume of logs that will
be got out will be very much reduced by the
terribly deep snow that has prevailed for
some time. Tke season for hauling is rapidly
drawing to a close. The last of March brings
the last of the teams out of the woods.

It is estimated that the cut of spruce must
fall a good deal short of that of a year ago, which
was not a large one. At the same time, it is
mentioned in the trade that to again put up
prices will work harm to the building trade ;
for already that trade is a good deal hampered
by the increased cost of all classes of building
materials. It is believed that another 1n-
crease in the cost of spruce will still further
help to check’ building operations this year.
Spruce boards have already been further ad-

vanced and are at least $1.50 higher. Present
agreement prices are :

THE LIVERPOOL MARKET.
Farnworth & Jardine’s wood circular of ist
as reviews the Liverpool market as fol-
OWS :
The arrivals from British North America
during the past month have been 2,048 tons”
register, against 2,999 tons register during the
corresponding month last year, and the aggre-
gate tonnage to this date from al] places during
the years 1898, 1899, and 1900 has been
33,704, 26,448, and 28,605 tons respectively.
The business of the past month has been on
the whole fairly satisfactory. The arrivals
generally have been moderate, the deliveries
have more than kept pace, and stocks, with
few exceptions, are light. There is little
change in values to report, and the advanced
prices are being fairly maintained,
CANADIAN Woops.—Pine Timber — Of
Waney the deliveries have been small, but the
stock has been reduced to a very moderate
compass, and prices are firm ; strong advance
in prices is being quoted for next season’s ship-
ment. Square: There is only a limited
enquiry, and the stock is sufficient. Red Pine:
There has been rather more enquiry for large
wood for future requirements; the stock is
almost exhausted. Oak shows some improve-
ment in value, and the deliveries have
been fair, but the stock, although not heavy,
appears to be sufficient for the present. Elm
continues in good request at full prices, and
the stock is very light. Ash: There is a
moderate demand for large wood, values are
steady ; the stock is small. Pine Deals:
There has been more enquiry and the deliveries
have again been fairly satisfactory ; values have
improved. The stock is being reduced, but it
is still heavy, however, largely composed
of oddments. Red Pine Deals are in good
demand at firm prices. : y

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

Considering that there has been little
spring weather to stimulate outdoor
Operations, the movement of lumber dur-
ing the past week has been satisfactory.
The outlook for export business 1s promis-
ing, but it cannot be said that the local
trade is opening up very hopefully if we
take asa criterion the building permits
issued in the larger cities of Ontario.
These show a falling off in comparison
with the same period of last year. The
cause of this is found in the increased cost
of lumber and other building materials.
This being the case, it is satisfactory to
learn that lumber prices are not only
maintaining their strength, but that in
some instances slight advances have been
made. In the Ottawa valley pine sidings
are now quoted at from $35 to $43, and
good strips from $27 to $30. Shipping
cull stock has also advanced about one
dollar per thousand. The quotation for
box culls is $12 to $14, while mill culls
are quoted from $12.50 to $16. Itis a
strange comcrdence that the price of mill
culls should be higher than that of box
culls. There has been an exceptional
demand in the Ottawa valley for both
these grades, but particularly the former,
and mill culls are being used by the box
manufacturers where box culls ‘were
formerly employed. It is said that three
inch mill culls which formerly brought
about $7 per thousand are now being
purchased, for delivery during the coming
season, at $10. Itis not expected, how-
ever, that these prices will rule throughout
the entire season. Prices of dry lath are
held as firmly as ever, although the quota-
tion for lath to be cut this season is from
$2 to $2.50 at the mill. But even this
price is greatly in excess of the average
quotation of last year. No changes have
been made in hardwood quotations.
Hemlock is selling moderately at satisfac-
tory prices.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Theres still an abundance of snow in
the eastern provinces to permit of logging
operations, and it seems likely that most
of the logs cut will reach the streams.
Altogether, the outlook for the season’s
sawing operations is more favorable than
it was one month ago. More than the usual
quantity of lumber will be shipped to the
United States, as it is understood that
Boston dealers have already contracted
for considerable stock. The demand for
cedar shingles has fallen off lately. This
has had an influence upon prices gener-
ally. Freight rates are a trifle easier.
The rate from: St. John to west coast of
England is 50 shillings, Rosario $11 to
$12, Buenos Ayres $10 to $11, and Bar-
bados $6 to $6.50. Coastwise freights
have declined to $3 to New York and
$2.25 to Boston.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,

Manufacturers and dealers report a
good enquiry for lumber, sales thus far
being in advance of the business of last
season. The movenient of sashes, doors,
etc., is very active for this season of the

te

year. A number of important buildings
are projected in Winnipeg, and in the
rural municipalites the outlook 1s favor-
able. In British Columbia the lumber
business is fairly active. The mining in-
dustry is recovering and a good season is
expected.
UNITED STATES.

There has been an increased movement
of lumber during the past week, but as
yet the spring demand has not presented
itself. The feeling in the trade, however,
is that there will be a considerable move-
ment of stock upon the approach of spring.
The manufacturing demand for lumber is
still holding out, and heavy construction
material is moving moderately. It isnot
expected that prices generally will advance,
although on doors and mill work and
white pine shop lumber it is predicted
that there will be an advance within 30
days. Buffalo and Tonawanda dealers re-
port a fair trade. The coarse stock has
been nearly cleaned out of the market,
and enquiries are becoming more numer-
ous each day. Good lumber in all thick-
nesses is moving actively. Spruce is in
a strong position, and the cut of the com-
ing season will no doubt be restricted by
the unfavorable weather of the past winter.
Hardwoods remain unchanged.

FOREIGN.

No important change in the British
market can be recorded. Buying is still
quiet, while prices are maintaining their
full strength. The reports of wood brokers
give practically the same quotations as
one month ago, although it can truly be
said that pine and spruce, selling from the
yards, is a little higher. For broad first
quality Quebec pine deals as high as £28
per standard has been paid, and indica-
tions point to even higher values. In
Norway and Sweden the winter has not
been favorable for logging, fewer logs than
usual have been taken out, and a re-
stricted cut of lumber this year is expect-
ed. So it seems that nearly all the wood
producing countries will be short in ex-
port stock, as the home consumption is
naturally catered to first. Prices of Baltic
woods are so high that it isassisting thesale
ofspruce. A large quantity is reported to
have been sold for delivery to a port on
the north-east coast of England at an
average of £8 tos. Auction sale prices
have also kept up well. The Hawkesbury
winter cut of pine, ex “ Ramillies,” sold at
a recent sale, brought £25 per standard,
second quality £18 15s, and the fourths
broad £8153. It is said, however, that
the stock was by no means a good sample
of the production, otherwise higher values
would have ruled. Red pine, mostly odd
sizes, realized £11 5s for 2x9, £9 15s for
3x7, £10 for 2x10, and £5 for 2x7 unas-
sorted. Square-timber 1s moving moder-
ately. Some birch logs from St. John, N.
B., have been sold wholesale at 18d to
184d per foot for 14 inch average. For
current prices the reader is referred to a
report in auother column.

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.

There is beginning to be considerable in-
quiry for shingles, and quite a few orders are
being placed. Weather conditions are decid-
edly against any pronounced demand as yet,
however, March having been exceptionally
cold and stormy. Prices seem to be a shade
weaker as a logical result. Extras are offered
at $3 to $3.15, and clears at $2.60 to $2.75,
the bulk of the sales being made at the lower
figures. All lower grades are holding their
own extremely well. At present writing the
prospects for speculative house-building in
New England this season are not all that was
expected earlier in the year. The trade gen-
erally, however, are hoping for a different
appearance of things within another month
and with the opening of spring.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

CONDITIONS IN AUSTRALIA.

The monthly timber report of Fraser &
Co., Melbourne, thus reviews the Australian
market :

The market has been active during the past
few weeks, buyers recognizing the necessity op
entering more fully into stocks, evidently hav-
ing taken into consideration the increasing c.1.
f. values shown from almost every source of
supply from which we obtain our requirements.
The mills abroad appear to have large orders
on hand for many parts of the world, and as
tonnage is not very plentiful at the present
time, it is quite likely that we shall see higher
rather than lower rates ruling during the
greater portion of the present year. Up to
now, our market has not responded in regard
to values as well as might have been antici-
pated, for, although in some classes of impor-
tation better rates have been manifested, prices
for other and more important descriptions have
remained stationary, while even slightly lower
figures have been accepted than when we
issued our last report on the 15th ult. We

are, however, of the opinion that the next few |

months will show some improvement in values
generally, for there is no indication of a decline
in shipping costs in the near future, while it is
quite possible higher prices will be required,
and it will be found necessary to bring local
rates more in touch with the increased laid-
down prices as soon as these are shown.
F.o.b. and freight quotations for shipments re-
cently fixed are upon a higher basis than those
supplies now on the water, and when the
former are being operated upon, the necessity

for securing better rates will doubtless be,

duly reeognised by both sellers and buyers.
OREGON Pine—Imports: 2,191,527 feet
super. Arrivals : Oregon and Big Bonanza,

fairly well dealt in. Late values have scarcely
been maintained, as a considerable quantity

sales was effected at £6 10s, at which figure
the market closes firm, as a demand for export

ENQUIRIES FOR WOOD PRODUCTS.
The following were among the enquiries
relating to Canadian trade recently re-
ceived at the office of the High Com-
missioner for Canada in London, Eng.:

19, A merchant in Cape Town asks to
be referred to Canadian exporters of tim-
ber, cereals, dairy produce, etc.

20. Enquiry has been received from a
Glasgow firm for names of producers or
exporters of wood meal (wood powder)
from Canada.

21. A large furniture firm at Antwerp
importing different kinds of hardwood lum-
ber would like to be placed in communica-
tion with a Canadian house.

Canadian manufacturers may open up
correspondence with any of the firms
making the above enquiries by addressing

PRICES AT GLASGOW.

This year has opened very quietly in the
timber trade, and though there is now more
activity than in January, still buying is not at
all on a large scale, which is no doubt ex-
plained by the high prices ruling, buyers
seeming to be afraid to commit themselves too
far. However, this fear seems to be wearing
off, and buyers are now more inclined to ac-
cept the fact that high prices are going to be
the rule this year. Deliveries from the yards
are fairly satisfactory, and there is every evi-
dence of the market being in a healthy condi-
tion. Quebec shippers are on the spot fixing
up contracts for next season’s delivery, and a
fair amount of business has been done at high

prices, it is reported. This is the review
of the Glasgow market offered by Messrs.
Edmiston & Mitchells, who say regarding
prices :

WaneyY Boarpwoop—Only a few unim-
portant sales have been made during the past
month, at prices round about 2s 9d per cubic
foot for 70-feet average. In second-class
boardwood there have been a fair number
of sales, at from Is 7d to 2s, according to size
and quality.

Rep PiNe—There is practically nothing
doing, and prices, which are only nominal, are
about Is 10d to Js 11d for 45-feet average.
The stock is quite ample for all likely require-
ments for some time to come.

OaK—A small order for about 5000 cubic
feet was placed by one of the railway com-
panies during the month, but price has not
transpired. Values range from about 2s 7d to
3s 4d. per cubic foot, according to size and
quality.

ELM—A number of sales are reported at
prices ranging from about 2s 9d to 2s 10d for
45 and 50-feet average. The quantity in
stock is not large and is very firmly held.

BircH—A few sales have been made during
the past month at prices ranging from ts 7d
for 15-inch up to 2s for 17 44-inch. The stock
of Quebec timber on hand is now reduced to
a very small compass. The demand is fair.
In Lower Port birch there have been several
sales made at about 17d to 18d per cubic foot
ona basis of 15-inch, and the stock is now
considerably reduced. Planks have been done
at from £8 5s to £9 “‘ ex quay.”

Asu—The stock on hand is unusally low for
this time of year, and, consequently there are
no sales of importance to record. Value of
14%4-inch is about Is 11d to 2s, and 15-inch
2s to to 2s 1d. There is a moderate demand
only.

DEALS—A satisfactory business has been
done during the month, and deliveries from
the various stores have been considerable.

THE BARBADOS MARKET.

Of the Barbados lumber market Messrs.
S. P. Musson, Son & Co., in their circular
of March 3rd, say :
We have had the “‘ Mercedese” from
Belliveau Cove, N.S., with 165 M. ft.
spruce, which we placed at $20.50 for
shipping, $18.55 for plank and $15 for
second quality. The market is bare and
next receipt will probably fetch similar
rate. We continue our valuation of $23 or
thereabouts for first arrival of white pine.
Shingles—A lot of 275 M. laying cedar,
ex ‘ Tiber,” has been sold mainly for ex-
port at $2.20 to $2.25. In pitch pine there
has been three arrivals; two ordered car-
goes, and we have had the “Wm. F.
Campbell,” from Wilmington, N. C., with
150 M. ft., and have placed same at $26,
$20 and $18 for 1st, 2nd and 3rd quality,
respectively. —
Since compiling the above, the ** Gab-
rielle” has arrived from Portland, to our
address, with 7,438 bdls. shooks.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.

(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)

The lumber business in Ottawa at present
is almost at a standstill. Scarcely any ship-
ping is being done, but extensive operations
in this direction will be resumed before the
end of the month. Shippers have been noti-
fied that navigation will open on the Hudson
on the 26th inst., and the large stock that has
been wintered over in Otttawa_will then be

rushed by rail and water to New York, Al-

bany and other points for distribution by the
American owners.

Operations on the limits are being carried
forward satisfactorily, and the mill men have
recovered most of the ground lost by the un-
favorable weather of the early winter months.
A feature of the work on the limits this season
is the fact that some of the small mill owners
are cutting hardwoods instead of pine as here-
tofore. This is to accommodate the increased

demand for hardwoods
American buyers.

Although the supply of pine logs will bea
fairly good one, the cut at the mills promises
to be considerably below the average. This is
particularly true in the case of deals, which in
former seasons have been cut in large quan-
Utes for the English market. The explan-
ation of this change of front is seen in the
Mereased and higher prices ruling in the
American market for board lumber, and more
particularly the common grades. The mill
Owners, taking advantarge of this, are bidding
for the trade, believing that it is going tobe
anything but a short lived one, However,
though prices have advanced materially, lum-
bermen state that as wages and the cost of
supplies have aided in increasing the cost of
manufacture, their profit will not be as great
as would appear at first sight,

Almost all the Ottawa mill owners have
sold their coming summer’s cut. A conserva-
tive figure given by a leading Jumberman
shows the advance on last season’s contract
Price to range from 16 to 20 percent.” W.C.
Edwards & Co. have closed with Watson &
Todd, of Liverpool, Eng.; the Hull Lumber
Co. have also made a deal with the same
firm. J. R. Booth has made satisfactory ar-
rangements with Robert Cox & Co. and
Bristol & Co.; and the McLaren mills, of
Buckingham, Que., will cater to the first
mentioned firm, Robert Cox & Co. The
Hawkesbury Lumber Co. have contracted
with W. & J. Sharples, of Quebec, and Gilmour
& Hughson, as previously annnounced, have
closed with a leading American firm.

Prices in the Ottawa market continue to
show a steady advance all round. Pine
sidings are now bringing as high as $42 per M,
and good strips $30. Mill culls have advan-
ced to $16 and box culls to $14 per M.
There is no lath in the market, and buyers are
waiting anxiously for the new cut, part of

coming from the

which is already being contracted for at $2
to $2.50. Itis expected, however, that this
figure will be reduced as the season advances,
though other lumber lines promise to hold
firm in price.

Davidson & Thackery, proprietors of
Ottawa’s leading sash and door factory, intend
erecting a new saw mill on their limits on the
Coulonge river next season. The mill will
give employment to 75 men, and will have an
output of 8,000,000 feet a season. This lum-
ber will be used in the firm’s large factory in
Ottawa, where over 100 hands are employed.
The mill will be built on the Coulonge near
the junction with the Ottawa river, and about
a mile from the village of Fort Coulonge.
Back of this point the firm has limits 75
Square miles in area, which, though already
partly worked over, will yield large quantities
of first class lumber.

The retail lumber dealers of Ottawa com-
plain that the high price of lumber and other
building material has put a damper on their
prospects. Very little building will be done
in Ottawa this season, though had prices re-
mained normal a fair sized boom would have
been experienced.

Ottawa mill owners and lumber dealers look
for the termination of the war in South Africa
to open up a new market there. It is expect-
ed that lumber shipments to Australia, parti-
cularly in the manufactured lines, will also in-
crease.

All of Eddy & Co.’s machinery will, before

the close of the year, be operated by electri-
city, power being secured from the Conroy
Milling Co., whose lumber and grist mills are
situated on the Ottawa river about three miles
above the Eddy establishments. Construction
work is now being carried on, and it is expect-
ed fully 8,000 h.p. will be supplied by the in-
creased water power.

Bronson & Weston’s large saw mill, which
was shut down last season to permit of the
erection of a large calcium carbide factory,
will not 'resume operations this season at
least. The firm owns extensive limits, and
hence it is thought the Ottawa mill will be
fitted out with new machinery and cutting
Operations resumed. The calcium carbide
works will be opened in about two months.
They will have an initial capacity of 25 tons
and will give employment to about 70 men
working night and day.

A second son of Mr. John Gilmour, of the
well known lumber firm of Gilmour & Hugh-
Son, Ottawa, has gone to the war, enlisting in
Strathcona’s Horse. No less than four repre-
sentatives of the Cameron family, also well
known in the lumber business, have enlisted in
two different contingents.

ENQUIRIES FOR WOOD PRODUCTS.
The following were among the enquiries
relating to Canadian trade recently re-
ceived at the office of the High Com-
missioner for Canada in London, Eng.:

22, Broom handles, hoe handles, and shovel
handles are required, basswood, and white
pine. Canadian shippers are requested to
quote prices per car-load.

23. Enquiry has been again made respecting
the demand for hop poles from the Maritime
Provinces of Canada.

Canadian manufacturers may open up
correspondence with any of the firms
making the above enquiries by addressing
a letter to the publishers of the CANADA
LUMBERMAN. When writing refer to the
number of the enquiry.

= ee eee

It is understood that John McConnell, of
Marysville, N.B., has purchased the King
saw mill property at Kingsville for $14,000,
and that the mill will be operated this season.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

The weather of the month of March
has been greatly in favor of the lumber-
men, logging operations having been con-
tmmued almost incessantly. This has
somewhat augmented the prospective log
crop, and it is probable that the logs left
in the woods will after all represent but a
small proportion ofthe total production.
Everything points to an unusually active
Sawing season in the Georgian Bay dis-
trict and an average season in the Ottawa
Valley. The present outlook is that
lumber prices will remain at the current
basis until the rush of spring trade shall
cease; after that lower prices may
reasonably be expected. One feature
which will tend to maintain the strength
of the market is the almost certainty of an
unprecedented firmness in vessel rates.
Charters are now being made on the basis
of $3 per thousand feet from Duluth to
Buffalo. There is understood to be a de-
cided shortage in lumber tonnage. A
result of this may be that buyers in the
Eastern States will endeavor to increase
their purchases of lumber in Canada, and
particularly at points where they may
secure favorable rail rates.

The spring trade is opening up slowly,
but a week or two of good weather would
stimulate buying, as there are a number
of enquiries in the market. It seems prob-
able that the consumption of lumber in
building operations will be less than last
year, but this may be offset by an increas-
ed demand for lumber for manufacturing
purposes. The quotations on pine lumber
remain unchanged. In our hardwood
price list black ash, thick basswood and
oak have been advanced by about one
dollar per thousand.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,

There has been a considerable move-
ment of lumber in Montreal during the
past week, and the outlook for spring
trade is regarded as favorable. The pro-
posed harbor improvements and grain
elevators will require a large quantity of
timber. The contract for piles and
lumber for the elevator to be built by the
Conners Syndicate will shortly be award-
ed, and local dealers are looking forward
to the result with some interest. Archi-
tects report a fair amount of building in
sight in Montreal and Quebec. _

The event of the past week in respect to
the market has been the formation of an
association of shingle manufacturers of the
provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick
and the State of Maine. This association

Il.

decided that in future the commission to
be allowed wholesale commission dealers
shal] be five per cent. of the net amount
of sales, instead of on the gross amount
as inthe past. It has also been decided
to advance the price of shingles to the
following figures: Extras, $3.25 ; Clears,
$2.85; Second Clears, $2.35; Clear Whites,
$2.25 ; Extra No. 1, $2.85. These prices
are to take effect on April 1st, and are
based on Boston rate of freights.

UNITED STATES.

The lumber market of the United States
has developed a slight weakness during
the past week. From nearly all the
markets comes the report that prices of
piece stuff are being shaded a little, while
at Duluth No. 3 boards are somewhat
easier. It is also stated that in the Chicago
market long wide joists are not bringing
as high prices as one month ago. The
lack of yard demand is responsible for this
easing off in prices. Retail dealers, fear-
ing that thehigh prices may retard building
operations, are stocking up very cautious-
ly. While yard trade is quiet, the demand
from manufacturing sources is quite
heavy, and promises to be a strong factor
in the situation throughout the season.
Orders for box lumber continue to be re-
fused on account of a shortage in the
supply. At Saginaw there isa scarcity
of Norway pine, which is held at from $14
to $14.50, and log run pine ts quoted at
from $18 upwards. Buffalo dealers re-
port numerous enquiries for stock from
the east, but these enquiries are rarely
followed by orders. This seems to indicate
that the eastern buyers are still expecting
a drop in prices. Owing to the high
price of pine there has been a considerable
sale of spruce at Buffalo at from $20 to
$22. Hardwood lumber is selling moaer-
ately. In New York ash ranges from $42
to $45. There is likely to be a large pro-
duction of maple in Michigan this season,
and some predict considerably lower
prices for this class of lumber. Lath
prices are holding up well for this season
of the year. At Saginaw the quotation is
$4 to $4.50 on cars. White pine shingles
are moving rather slowly, but dealers an-
ticipate a short supply, as, owing the high
price of box and mill culls, it is said that
some manufacturers will not operate their
shingle mills this season.

FOREIGN.

A slight feeling of uneasiness exists 1n
Great Britain in regard to the timber
market. It isnow admitted that the en-
hanced cost of building materials will
restrict building operations to some ex-
tent, with a consequent falling off in the
demand for lumber. The present high
prices ruling for new goods are the main
support of the spot market. In Canadian
pine there seems to have been some im-
provement of late. Buyers have become
ronvinced of the shortage of the winter-
_ng stock on this side, and also of the fact
that several important mill cuts which
have for some years past been marketed
in Great Britain will this season go to the
United States. The outlook for third and
fourth quality pine is said to be better
than for the higher qualities, as the prices
for the latter have been affected by com-
petition from American whitewood, Firm-
ness characterizes the spruce market.
Contracts have been made for 3x9 spruce
in second and third qualities for delivery
at London about midsummer at £8 I5s

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

and £8 7s 6d, while shippers are said to
have sold nearly all their 3x11 stock. The
spruce deals per winter liners from St.
John and Halifax have been sold at £7
15s to £7 178 6d. In square timber the
greatest activity pretains to elm and
birch. First class elm timber is selling at
from 2s 10d to 3s per cubic foot, and
small average in second class wood at 2s
3d. Birch timber is quoted at from 1s 7d
to 2s 1d per cubic foot.

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.

The past week has witnessed a marked n-
crease in the number of inquiries for cedar
shingles made by the retail dealers, and has
also seen a decided stiffening among the manu-
facturers, All shingles are in scant supply,
and with a reasonable demand prices must be
forced higher. Probably the following quota-
tions will represent about the average figure
being asked to-day: Extras, $3.15; clears,
$2.75 ; 2nd clears and whites, $2.15 to $2.25,
all delivered Boston freight rates. Manufac-
turers are now allowing the commission trade
five per cent. on the net instead of the gross
value of shipments.

——_——_—————

STOCKS AND PRICES.
The city of Quebec is taking tenders
for the annual supply of deals, lumber,
etc.

The city of Kingston has accepted the
tender of the Rathbun Co. for the supply
of lumber, at $16.85 per thousand.

Pitts & Co., of Bay City, have purchas-
ed 8,000,000 feet of Canadian logs from
Booth & Co. They were cut on Indian
reserve lands and will be rafted to Bay
City or Saginaw.

J.W. Munro & Son are reported to have
sold to W. &. J. Sharples, of Quebec, all
their waney and square timber made this
season in the townships of Widdifield,
Nairn and McKinnon.

It :s reported that Dickie & McGrath,
of Tusket, N. S., have cut 12,000,000 feet
of lumber during the past winter. They
have fourteen vessels chartered for the
summer, two of which will carry lumber
to South America. They are said to have
an order from Bordeaux parties for 5,000,-
ooo feet.

At Saginaw cedar telegraph and tele-
phone poles have advanced 20 yer cent.
in the last ten days: 25-foct poles, 5
inches at top, are quoted at 85 cents on
car, and six inches at top at $1.10; 30-
foot poles, six inches at the top, are worth
$1.25. Oak ties are quoted at 45 cents
and cedar at 38 cents. Four X cedar
shingles are quoted at $3 and clear butts
at $2.

It 1s learned that in the Eastern Crown
Timber Agency of Algoma the sawlog out-
put will be about 90,000,000 feet. In addi-
tion, there will be taken out about 170,000
cubic feet of square timber and from six
to eight thousand cords of spruce pulp
wood. Ofthe above amounts 38,000,000
feet of logs and the square timber will be
rafted from the north shore of the Geor-
gian Bay, between Beaverstone on the
east and Lacloche village on the west,
and 52,000,000 feet, together with the
pulp wood, will be assorted and rafted
from the Spanish boom at the mouth of
the Spanish River. There will be assorted
at this latter point probably between one
hundred and one hundred and twenty-
five million feet.

CANADIAN SPRUCE AND PINE.

The following remarks, bearing upon the
market for spruce and pine deals, are reprinted
from the Timber Trades Journal, of London,
Eng.:

SpRUCE.—The spruce market is particularly
firm ; we learn that shippers have sold all their
3x11 for the season at 42 per standard advance,
and we believe under surrounding conditions
and the great demand for 11 in., that shippers
could have got even more, All other sizes
have likewise been going well, and from
the latest reports the sales have been effected
right up to the end of the season ; in fact,
from what we understand, nobody could con-
tract for spruce to-day unless it was for the
whole of the season’s shipment, which, to our
mind, is a strong insurance of a solid market

ae OEE — ee

declare.that they shall hold for stronger prices :

for the whole of the year. The government
demand is one reason for this, and even should
the South African war terminate earlier than
expected, it will make no difference to the
demand, which will continue on the same ex-
tensive scale, as_ stores, ammunition, etc.,
must be shipped to the Cape and Natal for
months to come.

Pine.—Pine is gradually moving up ; it has
taken time to convince the buyers here of the
shortage of the wintering stock on the other
sides, and now as it is an assured fact that the
whole of Gilmour’s new cut has been sold to
the United States, it makes the market
stronger than ever. As to first pine regulars,
we think the prices that the shippers are
asking are really dangerous, considering that
American whitewood is now a strong com-
petitor with Canadian pine, and can be
bought at very much less prices. Second
quality pine regulars are undoubtedly very
scarce, but at the prices we hear that they
have been sold to arrive there will bea great
difficulty experienced in getting a profit for
the same reason, viz., the competition with
American whitewood. Coming to third and
fourth quality pine of the orthodox dimensions,
the question isa different one altogether ; the
prices obtained for wintering stock, which are
from £2 to £2 10s per standard more than last
year, the market can afford to pay, as although
American whitewood may be in competition
with first and second pine, it cannot compete
with the lower qualities, which even at the
advance stated are much the cheaper, these
commoner qualities being largely in use for
cabinet purposes, where anything of a sound
nature will do, knots not being taken into
account. We consider, therefore, that the
prices of third and fourth quality pine regulars
will keep up, at any rate throughout the pre-
sent year.

THE BOSTON MARKET.

(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)

The spruce lumber market is fairly steady,
though it is in the midst of the quiet season.
Something is doing in the way of house frame
orders, but not much yet. The mills are
generally pretty firm. One of the principal
manufacturers of spruce lumber on the Kenne-
bec writes his agents here that he has all the
business he can attend to and at full prices,
and will not book any business ahead except
at full prices. Still the general belief here is

that there will be lumber enough as soon as
Spruce is steady at

the mills get started.

BUILT-UP LUMBER WANTED.

A British firm desires to import from Canada
large quantities of three-ply lumber, made in
thicknesses of about one-eighth of an inch. It
should be of birch or basswood, and must be
reasonable in price. Manufacturers will be
furnished with the address of this firm upon
request,

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

The logging season being now closed,
various estimates have been made of the
quantity of logs that has reached the
streams. An cfficial estimate, given by
the Crown Lands Department, places the
quantity at 800,000,000 feet, which is prob-
ably not far from the mark. March was
an exceptionally. favorable month for
logging, and consequently many more
logs were banked than was anticipated
earlier in the winter. Reference to the
log and jumber production will be found
n another column. It is now certain
that the cut of lumber in Ontario this
year will be very large, but it is encourag-
ing to learn that the greater portion of the
production has already been contracted
for at prices which will have a tendency
to maintain the strength of the market.
Prices of low grade stock are held firmly
by manufacturers, and this notwithstand-
ing that the percentage of low grade lum-
ber manufactured this season promises
to be large. While a drop in the price of
box and niill cull stock is almost a fore-
gone conclusion, it is not expected that
this will occur before midsummer at least.

This is substantiated by the fact that
manufacturers are not disposed to take a
large contract for mill culls at the present
prices, having no doubt as to their ability
to dispose of the stock, and preferring to
wait untilthey are certai as to what
quantity they will have to offer. Prices
of hardwood lumber are showing signs of
weakness. Log run maple, dry, is being
offered at $12 at the mill, and black ash
at $15.50. Dealers are buying sparingly
in the hope of being able to arrange better
terms later in the season, and relying
upon the large cut of logs as their
salvation.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The only change in the timber market
is a greaver enquiry for birch square tim-
ber. It is probable that this stock will
command considerably higher prices be-
fore the seasen closes. Some purchases
of square and waney pine have been made
at current quotations. In lumber there
has been an average movement for local
consumption and for export to the United
States and Great Britain. Manufacturers
have shown no weakening in their asking
prices, believing that the market will con-
sume the entire production ; in fact, the
bulk of the séason’s cut has already been
contracted for. Freight rates are very
high, vessel owners asking $3 on lumber
to Boston, while the rate on lightering
deals to West Bay has gone up to fo cents
per thousand. Shippers are experiencing
difficulty in obtaining sufficient cars to
move their stock, and it is said that there
are hundreds of cars loaded with lumber
at St. John and Halifax waiting for
steamers,

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The spring movement of lumber has
been rather slow in commencing, but
manufacturers and dealers are satisfied
that the season will be an active one.
In the city of Winnipeg a number of im-
portant buildings are projected. Prices
are unchanged, although an advance of
from 25 to 5c cents is expected in the
price of British Columbia lath, for which
there has been an increased demand of
late. Cedar shingles are firm at $2.35
delivered at 50 cents freight rate points
in Manitoba. The mills in British Colum-
bia are unusually busy. Export trade is
being interfered with by the lack of lum-
ber tonnage. Rates have advanced
about Is 3d all round over Jast month’s
figures.

UNITED STATES.

Spring trade in the United States has
been somewhat backward, and lumber
manufacturers and wholesalers are show-
ing a slight weakness in respect to prices.
Concessions are made in some lines,
chiefly piece stuff, but it is not expected
that there will be any serious break in
prices generally. There is a decided
shortage in the supply of common inch,
which is high in price, and which is likely
to be produced this season ina greater
quantity than usual. Buffalo dealers re-
port very little trade in pine, the east still
holding off. The scarcity of white pine
box and cutting up lumber is such that

{I.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

even if the demand should fall off to some
extent, prices are not likely to weaken.
The spruce market has strengthened,
owing to the general belief that the cut
will fall considerably short of the usual
production. In New York city orders
are being taken for future delivery at
$22.50 for merchantable spruce. Lath
and shingles have not changed. In Chi-
cago dry white pine lath is selling ona
$4.50 basis, but it is not to be expected
that this price will hold out throughout
the season.

The slow movement of all sorts of
lumber eastward is having its effect upon
hardwood prices, and the trade are be-
ginning to fear a considerable reduction
in values when the sawing season 1s in
full swing. At Boston one inch elm brings
$32, and tbree inch $34 to $36 ; maple,
one inch, $28 to $29, one and one-quarter
inch $29, one and one-half inch $30, two
inch $31, three inch $34, and four inch
$36 ; white ash, one-inch $46 to $48, one
and one-quarter to one and one-half inch
$50, two inch $52 to $54, and three inch
$60.

FOREIGN.

The only unfavorable factor in the
British market is the decreased consump-
tion. In other respects the outlook for
the season’s trade is hopeful, and prices
are maintaining their strength. At a
recent auction sale first quality pine, 3 x
11x12, sold at £ 24. Third regulars
brought £10 5s to £10 Ios, and second
quality spruce £10 5s. Considerable
spruce has been sold to east coast buyers,
where it is competing favorably with
whitewood. The price of 3x8and 3x7
second quality Riga whitewood (equal to
third spruce) is £8, delivered at Humber
port, while £11 Ios to £12 is the asking
price for 3x11 inch delivered at Hull.
Concerning the Liverpool market, a cor-
respondent of the Timber Trades Journal
says: ‘‘ The spruce market continues to
be as firm as ever for future delivery, and
those who hold stocks here and at the
adjacent ports should be in good position
to make profits. So far as can be gather-
ed, prices are likely to be maintained at
about their present level for some time to
come. The parcels of spruce per liners
from Halifax and St. John, with irregular
specifications, are readily sold on the
basis of £7 17s 6d c.i.f. Operations in
the Bristol channel are on 4 parity with
this, for we hear of 700 standards from
Annapolis, N. S., having been placed at
£7 178 6s c.if.,and a quantity from
Halitax at £7 17s 6d to £8. Shippers
from Miramichi are asking £8 5s c.i.f. for
cargoes for spring shipment. For Irish
ports, with the usual large preponderance
of 3 x 9, such prices have been paid as £8

tos and £8 12s 6d per standards, and
these for sailers running up to 700 stand-
ards in capacity.

LOG AND LUMBER PRODUCTION.

LoGcinc OPERATIONS OF THE PAST WInTER.—
Prospective Outrrur or THE MILLs.

Statistics have been collected by a Saginaw
correspondent of the American Lumberman
bearing upon the extent of the log production
in Ontario during the past winter, and the pros-
pective lumber cut for the coming season. Al-
though the figures cannot be taken as exact,
they are of some interest to the trade.

According to the figures published, the
quantity of logs that will be taken to Michigan
this season will not exceed 60,000,000 feet.
It is estimated that about 20,000,000 feet,will
be rafted to Cheboygan by Pelton & Reid ;
8,000,000 feet, bought of Booth & Company,
will be taken to Bay City by Pitts & Company;
the Saginaw Lumber & Salt Company will
take over 20,000,000 feet, and the Hitchcock
Lumber Company about 7,000,000 feet.

Several Michigan firms will this year manu-
facture on the Ontario. The W. & A. Mc-
Arthur Company, of Cheboygan, purchased
the McKinnon & Walsh saw mill at Little
Current, Algoma, and have 20,000,000 feet of
logs for the season’s work. The Moulthrop
Lumber Company, of Bay City, have purchas-
ed the old Moiles saw mill on John’s Island,
in Georgian Bay, and will operate there. E.
Hall, of Detroit, is removing the old Minor
saw mill from Alpena to the Spanish river,
and expects to cut 10,000,000 feet of lumber
this season. The Edmund Hall Lumber
Company, of Detroit, have commenced the
erection of a saw mill at Sarnia, Ont., and ex-

ect to commence sawing operations by the
middle of July. The cut this year, if expecta-
tions are realized, will be 12,000,000 feet.

Of logging operations the writer says:
Joseph Turner has put in 25,000,000 feet and
has bought 10,000,000 feet. The Central Lm-
ber Company of Saginaw has 10,000,C0o feet of
old logs put ina year ago and about as many
put into Blind River the present winter. The

»Arthuc-HillGempany has put in 20,000,000

feet, which Aré to be manufactured at Mid-
land ; J. & T. Charlton are handling 32,000, -
000 feet from the Spanish river, Wahnapitae
and White Fish; Pitts & Charlton, from the
White Fish, 12,000,000; Saginaw Lumber
and Salt Company, from the White Fish, 15,-
000,000 feet ; Thomas Pitts, from Spanish
river, 12,000,000 ; the Spanish River Lumber
Company, from that stream, 18,000,000 feet ;
John Waldie, Victoria Harbor Lumber Com-
pany, from the Spanish and French rivers,
30,000,000 feet ; The Georgian Bay Lumber
Company, from the Wahnapitae and French
rivers, 35,000,000 feet. There will be 19,000, -
000 feet to come out of the Misseauga river,
5,000,000 from the Thessalon, 14,000,000 from
Root river and other points in the Sault region.

It will be observed that the cuts of several
large firms, such as Mickle, Dyment & Son,
M. Brennan & Sons, the Huntsville Lumber
Company, and others, are not given in the
above table. 4

Regarding the market for the lumber, it is
stated that W. B. Mershon & Company,| of
Saginaw, have purchased the logs of the
Arthur Hill Company, about 20,000,000 feet,
and that this stock will be manufactured at
Midland and taken to Saginaw. William
Schuette & Company, of Saginaw, have pur-
chased 5,000,000 feet from Joseph Turner, and
L. C. Slade has purchased 2,000,000, of the
Midland stock, all of which will be takem to
Michigan. The Brewer Lumber Company,
the Booth & Boyd Lumber Company, and

Bliss & VanAuken, all of Saginaw, are said to
have made purchases in the Georgian Bay
district, so that probably (25,000,000 feet of the
Georgian Bay cut will go to the Saginaw river,
The cut of the Peter mill will be taken to
Toledo, and the Holland & Emery cut to
Buffalo.

Coming to the Ottawa Valley district, the
following estimate is given: The J. R. Booth
Company expect to cut 110,000,000 feet of
lumber this year, which exceeds by ten million
feet the cut of last year. One-third of this
season’s cut will be sold for domestic consump-
tion, and the balance exported in about equal
proportions to the United States and Europe,
The W. C. Edwards Company will cut 60,-
000,000 feet, 15,000,000 feet of which is for
home use, 20,000,000 feet for export to the
United States, and 25,000,000 feet to the
British market. Last season this firm cut 70,-
000,000 feet. The Hull Lumber Company
expects to cut 40,000,000 feet, an increase of
15,000,000 feet over last year. Twenty per
cent. will be for domestic use, twenty-five per
cent. for the American market, and the re-
mainder for trans-Atlantic shipment. Gilmour
& Hughson will cut about the same quanuity
as last season, 30,000,000 feet, which has been
sold to an American company. The Hawkes-
bury Lumber Company will cut 50,000,000
feet, which is the same as last year, and has
been sold for export. The cut of McLachlin

Bros., of Arnprior, will be 65,000,000 feet, .

which has been purchased by E. Lemay, of
Montreal, and the bulk of which will be ex-
ported to the United States and other foreign
markets. The Ottawa Lumber Company will
manufacture 12,000,000 feet, of which 50
per cent. will be exported to Europe and the
balance in equal proportions for domestic use
and export tothe United States. This is a
decrease of about 3,000,000 feet as compared
with last year, but the company have contract-
ed for several lots of sawn lumber. The Gillies
Bros. Company, of Braeside, will manufacture
about 35,000,000 feet, which is an increrse
over last year of about 20,000,000 feet. Most
of the output of the Ottawa Valley mills is now
in second hands, having been sold in advance
of sawing—probably 50 per cent. for the
British market, and the balance, largely box
and box lumber, such as 6, 8 and 10 inch
boards, for the United States and local trade.

THE BARBADOS MARKET.

The market report of Clairmonte, Man &
Co., dated March 17th, thus refers to the Bar-
bados lumber market :

There has been one arrival with spruce
lumber during the fortnight, which met a good
market, and realized $20.61 for first quality.
There has also been one arrival of white pine,
which sold at $22.57 for first quality, and
$16 for second quality. Our yards are rather
bare of both white pine and spruce, and
dealers are now laying in supplies of spruce
for the crop season.

DOORS AND MOULDINGS WANTED.

There promises to be an increasing trade
with Great Britain in Canadian doors and
mouldings. In the ‘‘ Wanted and For Sale De-
partment ” of this issue will be found the an-
nouncement of a firm that is desirous of
purchasing large quantities of these goods. The
advertisers are, we believe, among the most re-
liable firms of timber importers in Great Britain,
and persons desirous of increasing their trade
in this direction should place themselves in
communication with them.

ENQUIRIES FOR WOOD PRODUCTS.
The following were among the enquiries
relating to Canadian trade recently re-
ceived at the office of the High Com-
missioner for Canada in London, Eng.:

24. An English firm wishes to know the
names of Canadian shippers of spruceboxes of
which 250,000 are wanted ; also of spruce-
bars, of which about 50 standards per week
are required. Prompt reply asked for.

26. An English continental firm of good
standing wishes to represent manufacturers of
Canadian wood pulp, as their agents in the
United Kingdom and on the continent, especi-
ally France. -

Canadian manufacturers may open up
correspondence with any of the firms
making the above enquiries by addressing
a letter to the publishers of the CANADA
LUMBERMAN. When writing refer to the

_ number of the enquiry.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Lumber manufacturers appear to pos-
sess a firm belief in the maintenance of
present prices for some months to come.
A large manufacturer in the Georgian Bay
district, writing tothe CANADA LUMBER-
MAN, states that he has no dry for sale,
and that he has received enquiries for
more stock than he can manufacture this
season. Another manufacturer advises us
that over 50 per cent. of his season’s pro-
duction has been sold, and that he anti-
Cipates no difficulty in disposing of the
balance of his stock at prices quite as
high as those ruling at the present time.
Confidence seems to be firmly established,
and this alone will tend to keep the market
strong. The trade actually moving is not
of large volume, as the spring demand has
been rather slow in opening up. ‘Retail
dealers are not absolutely in need of stock,
and consequently they are disposed to
wait until later in the season in the hope
of being able to purchase at better terms.
For dry stock prices are stiffening. One
Or two changes have been made in our
Toronto quotaticns, 1 x 10 and 12 common
having been advanced by one dollar per
thousand, and -a_ slight advance
made on most of the lower grades. Hard-
wood quotations have not changed, the
demand being only normal. It is expect-
ed, however, that prices will weaken
slightly as soon as the dry stock of this
season’s cut is offered to buyers.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Harbor improvements and bridge work
in the eastern provinces will this season
consume a considerable quantity of tim-
ber, and with a moderate demand for
building purposes, there should be a fair
volume of trade. Numerous enquiries
for stock have been received by manufac-
turers from United States dealers, and the
Prospect is that prices will be firmly sus-
tained. The movement to form an asso-
ciation of shingle manufacturers is looked
upon as a step in the right direction, and
should a successful organization be estab-
lished, benefit to the trade will no
doubt result.

In New Brunswick there is still a con-
siderable quantity of snow in the woods.
This will be favorable to stream driving
and lessen the danger of having logs
hung up.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

A heavy movement of lumber js re-
ported from Manitoba and British Colum-
bia. Manufacturers are sold for months
ahead, and some of them have refused

{I.

large orders for stock. There is an un-
usually brisk demand for British Colum-
bia cedar lath. In Vancouver and Vic-
toria building operations are very active,
notwithgtanding the high price of building
materials. The export trade is good, but
freight rates are unusually high.
j UNITED STATES.

The lumber market of the United States
has developed no features of particular in-
terest during the past week. The move-
ment of stock is rather slow, and few sales
from the cargo mills are reported. Retail
dealers are showing an indisposition to
stock up in the face of slow consump-
tion. Piece stuff has weakened slightly.
In Chicago the list was maintained during
the winter on a $16 basis for short lengths,
but wholesale dealers are now quoting this
stock on a $15.50 basis. Common inch
lumber is a trifle higher than it was one
month ago. Buffalo dealers report that
the white pine trade is in a peculiar con-
dition. The east is not reconciled to the
present asking prices, while there is no
hope of wholesalers being im a position
to offer them any concessions, as their
stock could not be replaced at the prices
at which it was purchased. Spruce Jum-
ber is maintaining its strength and is
held firmly at $22.50 in the New York
market.

The feature of the hardwood trade is an
increased demand for maple, which is
reported very scarce. The probability is
that before dry stock is available maple
prices will be further advanced. Elm,
basswood, and black ash sell well.

It is probabe that there will be a short-
age in the supply of shingles this season
and that prices will be marked up, as
lumber has advanced in price more than
shingles. At Buffalo the stock is estimat-
ed at 20,000,000. Some dealers are hold-
ing red cedar shingles higher than white
pine. The demand is almost entirely for
16inch, which appear to be considered
cheaper than 18 inch.

FOREIGN.

An uncertain feeling pervades the Brit-
ish wood market. The consumption of
lumber has been diminished by the en-
hanced prices, and difficulty is being
experienced in maintaining the present
prices on account of the lessened con-
sumption. On the other hand, the high
prices asked by shippers strengthens the
hands of holders of stock, who feel that
they are not justified in lowering their
asking prices. The spruce trade continues
to flourish, and large quantities of this
lumber are being purchased by the box-
makers. In the London market third
quality 1s selling at £10, and it is reported
that nearly all the Riga whitewood for
early shipment has been sold to France.
This further brightens the outlook for
spruce, inasmuch as the Riga whitewood
is astrong competitor with Canadian lum-
ber. At Glasgow there is a steady demand
for first quality pine deals and planks.
Spruce in that market is not moving with
as much freedom as two weeks ago, but
no depreciation- in prices is reported.
Very little stock is being sold to Ireland.

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.

The shingle situation in New Brunswick is
decidedly mixed. So far as we can learn, the
members of the new association are rigidly
adhering to their price list. On the other
hand, outsiders are selling on a basis of $3.00 to
3.20 for extras on Boston freights. The majority
of shingle manufacturers do not seem to realize
that there 1s such a thing as an association, and
are willing to accept such figures, with $3.00
as a minimum limit, as their commission rep-
resentalives may see fitto name. In some few
isolated cases $3.25 has been readily obtained
from the country trade, but the bulk of the
orders have been accepted at about the follow-
ing figures, delivered at Boston rates: Extras,
$3.10 to $3-15; clears, $2.70 to $2.75; 2nd
clears, $2.15 to $2.20; clear whites, $2.10
to $2.20.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
A scarcity of hemlock boards at Bostou
is reported. No. 1 stock, 1oand 12 inch-
es wide, is sold at $20.

The property belonging to the estate of
the late Thomas Keillor was sold at Dor-
chester, N.B., last week. Some 340 acres
of timber lands was purchased by C.S, &

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

J. Hickman, lumbermen, of Dorchester,
for $8,190.

Charles T. Monroe has purchased a
mill at Douglastown, N.B., and will man-
ufacture cedar shingles.

J. H. Livingstone and J. W. Swan, of
Wentworth, Cumberland county, N.S.,
have purchased 4 tract of timber land on
the Midland railway near Windsor.

The cedar market on the Saginaw river
has not materially changed ; 25 ft. poles, 6
inches at thetop, sell at $1.25. Oak ties are
quoted at 45 cents, cedar ties at 38 cents,
and fence posts at 10 cts.

Canadian shippers in a position to
handle an order for log run black ash, 1”,
1%", 1%", and 2” thick, and of an average
of 9 inches in width, with culls and
centres out, for export to England, are
requested to communicate with the pub-
Jishers of this journal.

Three timber berths on the Quisbis
river in New Brunswick, aggregating 14
square miles, and a 2% mile berth on
Siegar river, were sold at the Crown
Lands office, Federicton, N.B., last week
to Randolph & Baker, at the upset price
of $8 per mile.

The cut of logs to come down Salmon
Creek to Melbourne, Que, is much smaller
than usual, owing to an unfavorable winter.
The Tourville Company, of Pierreville,
have 40,000 logs, and Williamson & Crom-
bie, of Kingsbury, 55,000 logs. Timber
isin good demand. American buyers are
offering $12 per thousand feet for good
spruce butt logs, f.o.b. Kingsbury.

THE AUSTRALIAN MARKET.

The last monthly report of Fraser & Co.
reviews the timber market of Australia as
follows :

The market generally has been in good con-
dition during the past few wecks, almost every
class of timber being in demand, and rates
obtained in a great proportion of business fixed
show some slight increase in values upon those
ruling at the time our last circular was issued.
Although some sales in business ‘to arrive ”
have been done in Baltic flooring, lining, and
weather boards upon the last basis of prices,
local stecks of the same have been sold at in-
creased figures, while Oregon is now firm at
£7 per 1000 feet super, and it is probable that
shortly higher rates will be required and paid
for the latter lumber. For mostly other kinds
of timber importations: prices have been more
fully mantained, and as the markets from which
we recieve our supplies indicate rather an up-
ward than a downward tendency, both in re-
spect to f.o.b. and freight quotations, and as
the actual consumption appears to be on the
increase in this colony, we feel justified in say-
ing that the improvement now manifested will
be continued during the course of the present
year,

TIMBER LIMIT SALE.

The timber limits of R. H. Klock & Co.,
situated on the Ottawa river and its tributaries
in the provinces of Quebec an Ontario, were
offered for sale at the Board of Trade, Toronto,
on Tuesday last. There was an average at-
tendance of lumbermen from the Ottawa Valley
and Georgian Bay district. Notwithstanding
the persuasive powers of the auctioneer, Mr.
Peter Ryan, the bidding was slow, and only
one parcel was disposed of. This was a limit
of 100 square miles on the Ontario side of the
river and including the Rocky Farm, the pur-
chasers being McLachlin Bros., of Arnprior,
at the price of $105,000. The other limits
were withdrawn.

After this sale Mr. Ryan fut up a timber
berth of 80 square miles in the township of
Mackenzie, Georgian Bay district, the property
of the Delta Lumber Company of Detroit.
This limit was also withdrawn.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.

ONTARIO.
A strong feeling of confidence per-
vades the lumber trade of Ontario.

Manufacturers and dealers, almost with-
out an exception, report numerous en-
quiries for stock, while considerable of
the season’s production of lumber has al-
ready been contracted for. In pine the
most active demand pertains to the lower
grades, the supply of which has become
very meagre. Unless the approaching
season should be much less active than is
anticipated, no great depreciation in
prices is likely to occur. In the Ottawa
valley good pine shorts have advanced
recently abot one dollar per thousand
Shipping culls kave been marked up
abouut two dollars per thousand.
Hardwood prices have not changed from
our last quotations, but it 1s quite certain
that the production of hardwoods this
year will be heavy, and it is too much to
expect that the prices now ruling will
hold throughout the season. However,
manufacturers are adhering firmly to
prices, and this in itself will have a ten-
dency to sustain the strength of the
market.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Ih the city of Quebec there has devel-
oped a scarcity of dry lumber, and con-
tractors are finding some difficulty in
carrying on building operations. Retail
dealers have very little stock for sale, and
this they are holding for higher prices.
Dimension deals of ordinary lengths are
selling at $11.50 per thousand feet. In
the Maritime Provinces building opera-
tions are not as far advanced as in Quebec,
but nevertheless manufacturers and deal-
ers report a satisfactory demand for
lumber. Shippers have purchased very
heavily for export. The shingle manu-
facturers and dealers are watching with
much interest the outcome of the meeting

which is being held to-day to complete

the organization of a manufacturers’ asso-
ciation for Quebec, New Brunswick and
Maine, to which further reference will be
made next week.

re UNITED STATES.

Some slight alterations were made JIast
week in the wholesale price list of lumber
for the Minneapolis market. No. 4 fenc-
ing, 4-inch, 6, 8 and 10 feet, was reduced
$1; A and B siding, all;lengths, 50 cents ;
inch selects, 50 cents ;and dimension and
timbers, 23 feet and longer, $1. Yellow
pine prices have also undergone a read-
justment, the new list showing a reduction
of from one to two dollars per thousand
on all items, except heavy joist and tim-
bers. These changes represent the chief
features of the lumber market of the past
week. Trade is not moving very lively,
as spring building has been backward on
account of unfavorable weather condi-
tions. The market for white pine has
exhibited a slight weakness in certain
lines, especially piece stuff. Eastern
wholesalers have large stocks on hand,
and unless an active demand from the
east shall develop, their purchases for
some time to come will be very moderate.
At Saginaw Canadian pine, log run, is
worth $16 to $18, box lumber $12.50 to
$14, Norway $14 to $14.50, and mill culls
$12. Spruce prices have been maintain-
ed, and owing to the high price of logs,
lower values are not anticipated. Hard-
wood stocks are stlll scarce. There is an
excellent call for common and first and
second plain red and white oak. White
ash and basswood are firm, but in respect
to maple there seems to be a feeling that
that lumber may suffer :rom overpro-
ducticn.

FOREIGN,

The unsatisfactory state of the building
trade in Great Britain 1s causing holders

of timber some uneasiness. Buyers hesi-
tate to purchase in advance of require-
ments, and if this condition prevails for
some time it 1s feared that a break in
prices may result. Some encouragement,
however, is found in the fact that prices
of Canadian lumber have not only main-
tained their strength, but that in a few in-
stances advances have been made. Com-
parrd with one month ago, square pine
is about one shilling per cubic foot higher
at Glasgow. First quality Quebec pine
deals are about six shillings per standard
higher, third quality broad about seven
shillings higher, while there has been an
average advance on fourth quality of about
seven shillings per standard. Quehec
pine, 2-inch sidings, have advanced 10
shillings, and 14 inch six shillings. In
the London market waney pine has ap-
preciated in price, as has also elm, which
is in very scant supply. At Liverpool
first.quality pine.deals are selling at £20
to £24 per standard, second quality at
£16 tos. to £17 tos., and third quality at
£10 to £10 1os. New Brunswick spruce
is worth from £7 15s. to £8 per standard.
British shippers are reported to have sold
a considerable quantity of stock for ex-
port to South Africa.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.

(Correspondence of the CaNnaADA LUMBERMAN.) _

Business in both wholesale and retail lumber
circles in Ottawa is quiet at present, and will
remain so till navigation opens and the mills
commence operations. Owing to the lateness
of the spring, the lumber firms are not hiring
men for the drives in any great numbers as
yet. The number required, however, will be
in excess of last year’s demand, and fully two
thousand men will be sent up from Ottawa
alone, while five hundred or more will be
required from Hull and the neighboring towns.
The same condition of affairs holds good as
did earlier in the season when shanty-men
were being hired, as wages are in advance of
previous years. Mill owners are offering from
$30 to $40 a month for capable men, whereas
the figures im past years were as low as
$25. The reason for this is seen in the in-
creased activity in other branches of the labor
market, as well as that ruling in lumbering. It
is difficult to get men and for the next month
labor will be in great demand.

For the past three weeks the shanty-men
have been returning to Hull and Ottawa in
large numbers, and all report the season’s
operations to have been extensive. Lumber-
men just returned from the limits state that
there is more of an appearance of winter in the
woods than there was in January. in some
parts there is nearly two feet of snow, while
on the rivers and lakes the ice is quite thick.
On the Kippewa, Coulonge, Dumoine, Black,
Snake, Qunize, and other lumbering rivers,
the ice gives no indication of moving, and it
will be ten days or more before the drives are
started. It is expected that quite a few men
will be sent to the Georgian Bay and Lake
Superior districts from the vicinity of Ottawa
within the next month, for the drives.

The majority of the small mills within a
radius of 100 miles of Ottawa which cut hard-
wood, have shut down after a successful
winter’s operations. Along the line of the
Parry Sound branch of the Canada Atlantic
Railway, and in other directions, many mills
were operated this season for the first time,
and the cut of hardwood is accordingly large.
One Ottawa dealer who has covered much of
the territory states that on a conservative esti-
mate the hardwood cut will be three times as
large as it was last year. Although this large
cut was made to satisfy the demand for Cana-

(CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

dian hardwoods coming from dealers and
manufacturers in the United States, it is not
thought that many of the Conadian mill owners
have as yet closed contracts for their winter’s
cut, now piled awaiting the buyer. Although
the ruling prices are very high, the mill owners
are holding back for still higher prices, and in
some places a slump in the hardwood market
is predicted on this very account.

Large quantities of ash, birch, maple, butter-
nut, elm and basswood have been cut by the
various mills) Wm. Mohr, of the firm of
Mohr & Ryan, of Killaloe, states that the cut
of this firm’s mills will be about 1,000,000 feet,
the greater part of which is hardwood, The
McKee Milling Company will have a cut of
about 500,000 feet at its Wakefield mill, and
Charlebois & Dumois, of Hull, who operate a
mill at the same place, have a similar hard-
wood cut. Prices have advanced from $3 to
$4 per Mand now range from $18 to $22,
according to quality and kind.

A Boston firm offered to buy the McKee
mill cut direct from the saw, not waiting till it
was seasoned by piling. The middle men
cannot touch the mill men’s prices, so high are
they.

McLachlin Bros.’ large saw mill at Arnprior,
near Ottawa, bas been fitted with a new Allis
band mill, witha capacity of 50,000 feet a
day, and a pair of twin circular saws. The
latter will be used in cutting railway ties and
will have a daily output of 2,000 ties each.
The new machinery for this mil! was supplied
by the Waterous Company, of Brantford, and
the Victoria Foundry, of Ottawa, McKee & Co.
acting as agents. ;

No new machinery has been installed in any
of the Ottawa mills, all of which are being put
in shape for the season’s cutting. J.R. Booth’s
timber mil] has: been operated all winter, get-
ting out timber for construction work on the
Canada Atlantic Railway, and for use in the
car shops principally. The logs have been
hauled to the Ottawa mill over the Parry

’ Sound branch of the Canada Atlantic Railway.

Hurdman & Elmitt, of Ottawa, have closed
a contract with A. F. Chapman & Co., of
Quebec, to supply 250,000 feet of lumber for
the new elevator being erected in the ancient
capital by the Great Northern Railway Com-
pany.

The Ottawa River Transporation Co. has a
gang of men at work putting its large fleet of
barges and tugs in readiness for the opening of
navigation, when about 500 hands will be em-
ployed by this company. The ice is nearly
all out of the Ottawa river,-but navigation will
not open till about May Ist, when the water
will be let in the Rideau canal. j

Ald. James Davidson, of the firm of David-
son & Thackray, planing mill owners, of Otta-
wa, was interviewed by a representative of the
‘Cimber Trades Journal, of London, Eng., on
the occasion of his last visit to England. The
interview, a lengthy one, appears in the latest
special number of that journal. It deals hope-
fully and intelligently with the Ottawa lumber
interests, and is certain to be beneficial to the
Canadian export trade, asit gives the Britishers
a better idea of our resources.

A project is on foot to establish a box factory
in Ottawa, which is certainly a good center for
such an industry, being a splendid base of sup-
plies, and having good railway facilities’ and
cheap labor and power. A new match fac-
tory has been started in Hull, and all the
wooden-ware departments in the E. B. Eddy
Company’s business are putting out increased
quantities of goods. Little building wijl be
done in Ottawa this season, owing to the in-
crease in the price of all building materials, in-
cluding lumber. The lumbermen, however,
look for a revival in the autumn.

Mr, John Belford, bookkeeper for W. C.
Edwards & Co., the well known mill and man-
ufacturing concern, of Ottawa, who went to
South Atrica asa member of D Battery, has
been promoted to the position of No. I Ser-
geant since arriving at the front. Lieutenant
Lawless, another soldier of the Queen, who
went with the first Canadian contingent, and
who is well known in lumbering circles, has

been mentioned by the newspaper correspond-.

ents for conspicuous bravery at the battle of
Paardesburg, when he led a small handful of
daring Canucks in the charge on the Boers.
Lieut. Lawless and his men fortunately escap-
ed uninjured.

The Hull Lumber Co. has sent ahout 50
men up to Ostobonia river above the Kippewa
to assist in bringing down the drives. J. R.
Booth has sent up about 150 men to Moore’s
Lake and other points for the same purposes.

English buyers are already making nego-
tiations for the purchase of the cut of several
of the Ottawa mills for 1901. The figures
quoted compare favorably with those advanced
for the present year’s cut, The indications are
that the cut for 1901 will be equally as heavy
as this year’s.

Ottawa, April 14th, 1900.

THE BOSTON MARKET. |

Spruce lumber is moving rather better, and
the market is well sustained. This is for actual
business, while commission men and those that
have no mills are quoting all sorts of prices.
Small spruce and randoms have to be sold a
little under agreement prices, while large and
full dimensions bring agreement prices or a
little better:

the general report. Brown ash is more plen-

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

There have been evidences during the
past week that the pine market is not as
firm as it has been, although as yet it
cannot be said that prices “have receded.
There does not seem to be much life to
the market, from which it appears that
consumers are not greatly in need of
lumber. This may be accounted for by
the backward spring and consequent
delay in the commencement of building
operations. Purchasers. of lumber seem
to be in no hurry to have the stock
shipped. A favorable feature of the mar-
ket is the fact that several manufac-
turers have already disposed of a large
proportion of their season’s cut. Thus
when the mills commence operations
there will not be the usual quantity of
stock thrust upon the market. It is
generally admitted that present prices of
pine and hardwood Iumber will not hold
much longer, the question in doubt being
as to how soon the break will occur. More
enquiries are being received for box and
mill cull lumber than for the other grades,
and it is possible that prices of these
grades will not recede for some time to
come. The dry stock of mill culls at the
mills has become completely exhausted,
while the bulk of the production for 1900
has been sold ahead. There is also a
good demand for Norway pine for export,
and this stock is likely to hold its own for
some time.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The spruce market has felt the effects
of the alarming report from New York of
a serious break in prices. Investigation
proves, however, that nothing to cause
alarm has occurred, and that the lower-
ing of prices was the result of exceptional
conditions and likely to be only tempor-
ary. Local and export trade is fairly
active, the most urgent demand pertain-
ing to the lower grades of stock
and dimension timber. Cedar shingles
are holding firm in price, and some sales
are reported on the basis fixed by the
new association of manufacturers, name-
ly, $3.25 for extras on Boston rate of
freight. It is quite probable that this
basis will be maintained, as the ultimate
goal of the associat:on is understood to be
$3.50. We question, however, whether
these prices will be reached in the near
future. Another meeting of the associa-
tion was held on the 18th inst., at which
arrangements were inaugurated to take
over the stock of smaller manifacturers
who wish to realize on their holdings.

Should this be successfully accomplished
it will no doubt strengthen the market,
but there is just the danger that prices
may be advanced to such a degree as to
allow other classes of shingles to find their
way into the natural market for cedar
shingles, Spruce deals for export are
selling at about the same prices as here-
tofore. Many of the mills have already
sold their season’s production.

UNITED STATES.

Reports from the United States lumber
markets are in some respects disappoint-
ing. The season has been backward and
a slight reduction in price is being offered
by holders of stock. Pine piece stuff
shows more weakness than the other
classes of lumber. There is a general
shortage of inch lumber in nearly all the
leading markets, as the box factories are
still purchasing low grade pine in large
quantities. The box trade is so brisk that
it seems almost impossible to satisfy the
demand for stock from that quarter’
Buffalo and Tonawanda dealers tell of
light trade, and it is evident that the East
is not purchasing to any extent.

The spruce market has weakened
slightly. This is largely due to the arrival
in New York harbor of about thirty car-
goes of lumber. Many of these vessels
had been beating back and forth waiting
until a change in the weather would make
it safe to make port. The result was that
prices were forced down from two dollars
to four dollars per thousand, but it is said
that the market is again recovering, and
that spruce prices are likely to remain
firm throughout the season. In the New
York market eastern spruce of thirteen
feet average is strong and active. Lath is
quoted at $3.50 to $3.75.

The hardwood market retains _ its
strength. Offerings of white ash are re-
ported to be more numerous, but to offset
this is the announcement that the cut of
northern hardwood logs was not excep-
tionally heavy. At Buffalo and Boston an
increased quantity of maple is making its
appearance, but the demand is improving
in a corresponding degree. Some of the
manufacturing concerns are using thick
maple in place of thick ash. Basswood is
selling at $31 to $32 for inch No. one
and two, $33 to $35 for one and one-
quarter and one and one-half inch, and
$35 for two inch.

FOREIGN.

It is a difficult problem to solve the
British lumber market. The high price
of lumber has no doubt materially de-
creased the volume of consumption, and

the basis of prices has only been main-
tained by the firm’ position taken. by
shippers. Whether they will be obliged
to weaken:in their asking price is a ques-
tion in doubt, but unless there should
develop an exceptionally good demand
from South Africa, France, and Germany,
we would not-be surprised if lower prices
would have to be met before long. Spruce
and pine deals have, to our mind, reached
their limit of value under present condi-
tions. There seems to bea considerable
enquiry for oak and elm planks, a desire
being shown by importers to purckase
more liberally from Canada than hereto-
fore. But the fact has also been brought
out that the importers have not regarded
the prices quoted by Canadian shippers
as offering much inducement. Reports
from South American markets tell of
favorable conditions and a moderate de-
mand for lumber.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
Smith Bros., of Blissville, N. B., have
taken out over 2,000,000 feet of logs dur-
ing the past winter.

The McKinley-Wood Lumber Co., of
Parry Sound, Ont., expect to cut 1,000,-
ooo feet of lumber this season.

The Nelson Saw & Planing Mill Co., of
Nelson, B. C., have purchased 4,000,000
feet of logs for the season’s supply.

J. L. Reaume & Co., of Essex, Oat.,
have about two million feet of logs and
1200 cords of bolts in their yard for their
season’s supply. They have also about
five thousand logs in the woods waiting to
be hauled to the mill.

The W. H. Kelly Lumber Co., of
Buckingham, Que., have sold their pro-
duction of lumber this year to Alex Mc-
Laren, of Montreal, the consideration
being given as $300,000. The lumber will
be exported to the European and United
States markets.

A correspondent at Wiarton writes that
the production of hardwood logs in that
district last winter was much below the
estimate of 18,000,000 feet as given in a
recent issue of this journal. He states
that not more than 7,000,000 feet of hard-
wood logs were taken out by the mill
owners of Wiarton, and that much of the
coming season’s production of lumber has
already been contracted for.

An important deal has just been con-
cluded, by which the Michigan Land &
Lumber Co., of Bay City, obtain control
of the mills and stock of the Blind River
Lumber Co. at Blind River, Algoma
district. For the plant the company paid
$28,000, and for the production of logs
$26,000. The transfer of the property is
looked upon as a direct result of the
prohibition of the export of saw logs.

Advices from the Aroostook river, flow-
ing into the St. John, between Woodstock
and Grand Falls, N. B., state that the
winter’s cut will be about 40,000,000 feet,
divided as follows: Hale, 10,00c,000 feet
spruce, 4,000,000 cedar ; Hilyards, 7,000,-

Alfred Dickie, of Lower Stewiacke, N.
S., estimates that his cut of lumber for
the present season will be about 40,000,000
feet, divided among the various mills as
follows: Lower Stewiacke and St. An-
drews’, 7,000,000 feet ; Tusket, 14,000,000
feet; Musquodoboit Harbor, 6,000,000
feet ; Ship Harbor, 5,000,000 feet ; Three
Fathom Harbor, 2,000,000 feet ; Lands-
downe, 2,000,000 feet ; Liscombe, 1,000,-
ooo feet. Several portable mills and
other operations not mentioned in the
above list, 3,000,000 feet. Already this
season Mr. Dickie has shipped five car-
goes of lumber, two going to Glasgow,
two to New York and one to New
Haven. He has chartered about thirty-
five vessels to carry cargoes of lumber
this year.

Manufacturers in a position to supply oak
and elm planks, 12 inch and up wide, for ex-
port to Great Britain, are asked to send their
business cards to this office.

THE BOSTON MARKET.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN-)
The improvement in the demand for spruce
lumber last noted. has been better than
continued. Sellers report an excellent
demand for large timber, 19x 12 and up,
with orders that cannot be filled as soon as
they are wanted. On this class of timber prices
are very firm, with full agreement prices, or
even a little better. On small dimensions the
market continues easy, however, with full
agreement prices not easy to get. This state
of the market is easily understood when it is
stated that housebuilding is not active, while
factories and large construction are the present
feature. Agreement prices are steady :

Clapboards continue very quiet, and yet it
is suggested that it would take no great de-
mand to start the market up, since the supply
is positively limited. Manufacturers say that
they can hardly afford to use big spruce for
clapboards under the present good demand and
high prices for large timber :

CONDITIONS AT LIVERPOOL.

The arrivals from British North America
during March, says Farnworth & Jardine’s
wood circular, have been 6,180 tons register,
against 5,200 tons register during the corres-
ponding month last year, and the aggregate
tonnage to this date from all places during the
years 1898, 1899, and 1900 has been 55,521,
50,896, and 55,847 tons respectively. Busi-
ness during the past month has been quiet.
The arrivals have been fairly moderate, but
the deliveries have been rather disappointing.
However, stocks generally are light, and prices
continue steady.

CaNaDIAN Woops.— Pine Timber — Of
waney the deliveries have been fairly satis-
factory, and the stock is now very light ;
prices are firm. Square is only in limited re-
quest, and the stock is sufficient. Red pine :
There has been little enquiry, and the stock is
almost exhausted. Oak: There has been a
little more enquiry for next season’s ship-
ments, and prices are firm ; the consumption,
however, has been small, and although the
stock of first-class wood is not, large, it is
sufficient for present requirements. Elm :
There has been fair enquiry and prices rule
high ; the stock is almost bare. Ash: Large
wood has been in fair request and prices are
firm. Pine deals: The deliveries have been
fairly satisfactory ; the stock is now reduced to
more moderate compass, and a considerable
advance in value has been established. Red
pine deals continue in good demand, and
prices are firm.

New Brunswick AND Nova SCOTIA
SprucE AND PINE DeEats. — The arrivals
slightly exceed those of the corresponding
month Jast year, viz.:— 2,769 standards,
against 2,650 standards ; the deliveries have
been satisfactory, and the stock. is fairly
moderate ; there is little. change in value to
report, and steady progress is being made in
contracting for next season’s delivery. Pine
deals: There has been more enquiry and
stocks are reduced.

Bircu.— Of logs, chiefly from St. John,
there has been a moderate import ; the de-
liveries have been fair, and the stock is not
too large ; values ,are unchanged. Planks
have been imported freely, and are going
largely into consumption direct from the quay ;
stocks are light and prices continue steady.

LUMBERING AT SACKVILLE.

A good deal of activity is displayed the pre-
sent season in lumbering operations about
Sackville, New Brunswick. Pelton & Beharrel
have purchased the Midjie lumbering proper-
ties of Ogden & Hicks for $23,000. It
embraces about 3,000 acres. They expect to
take off 2,000,000 feet this season. Another
new operator is C. J. Willis, who purchased
the Cook property and has sawn 750,000 feet
this season. Hon. D. L. Hanington is lum-
bering on the Dorchester Road, and will cut
about 400,000 feet ; Lew Johnson, at West-
cock, about 800,000 feet ; C. Pickard, at Fair-
field and Midjie, 1,000,000 feet; Wallace
Copp, 500,000 feet; B. D. Teed, McLeod and
Spencer, each about 300,000 feet, and Cousins,
S. McAllister and A. Seaman, each 200,000
feet. The Calhoun Lumber Co. purchased
from A. & W. Ogden their Beech Hill lands,
1,000 acres, for $5,000. These lands are
being lumbered closely by the Calh~un Con,
and will yield some 3,000,000 feet. The same
company will cut a million feet at Calhoun’s
Mills, Memramcook. It is also operating ex-
tensively at Gaspe. The largest operator in
the district is J. L. Black. His recent pur-

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

The topic of conversation among lum-
bermen is the fire at the Chaudiere, which
destroyed a vast quantity of lumber and
several mills and yards. It is difficult to
estimate the effect of taking out of the
market upwards of 150,000,000 feet of
lumber. Much of this stock was sold for
shipment to England and the United
States, and the remainder was intended to
supply the local demand. Other sources
of supply will have to be found, and the
result will likely be a decided stiffening of
prices. In addition to the lumber burned,
mills were destroyed, and thus the mar-
ket will be relieved of a portion of the in-
tended cut of these mills. Some of the logs
will probably be manufactured by other
mills, but the total cut of the Ottawa Valley
for the season is certain to be considerably
reduced by the fire. The lumber was dry
stock, which at the present time is very
scarce. In our opinion, there will bea
general advance in the price of white pine,
this advance to hold until the dry stock
of this season’s manufacture is ready for
shipment, which will not be until mid-
summer at least. At the present time
Contracts for new stock are being entered
into very freely. There is an exception-
ally good demand for export lumber, both
of pine and hardwood.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Some of the Montreal and Quebec
shippers were affected by the recent fire
at the Chaudiere, and asa result export

trade is somewhat unsettled. The de-
struction of such a large quantity of lum-
ber may possibly diminish the shipments
from the St. Lawrence. The Quebec
timber market is quite firm, square and
waney pine showing a tendency to ad-
vance in price. Square pine, 4o to 45 feet
average, is quoted at 30 to 36 cents, and
Ottawa waney, 19 to 21 inch average,
from 38 to 47 cents. In New Brunswick
and Nova Scotia the outlook for the sea-
son’s trade is good, although it is feared
that a considerable quantity of logs will
be hung up in the streams. In Nova
Scotia, River Plate specifications are sell-
ing about $1.50 per thousand higher than
last year, as the cut in some districts will
be about 50 per cent. short of last season,
on account of a scarcity of logs. Several
vessels have been chartered to load at
Yarmouth for Buenos Ayres.

UNITED STATES.

The peculiar position of the United
States lumber market renders it difficult
to give a review setting forth the actual
conditions. It cannot be disputed that
trade is by no means as active as it should
be, although there has been some im-
provement during April. Manufacturers
in the west are holding firmly to prices,
but as it is admitted that the present high
values cannot rule throughout the season,
some dealers have concluded that the
time has come to reduce their prices. The
white pine dealers of Buffalo held a meet-
ing last week to discuss the price ques-
tion, at which it was decided to hold to
the present list. In the Albany market
2¥% and 3 inch uppers have been reduced
to $65, 4 inch uppers to $70, 2% inch
selects to $55, 24 inch fine common to $45
to $50, 1 by 10 and 12 shippers to $22, 1
by 12 No. 1 barn to $28, and 1 by 10 and
12 No. 2 barn to $24. From Bay City
and Saginaw comes the report that prices
are slightly weaker, 1 to 2 inch uppers
selling at $54, and selects 8 inches and up
at $49. A reduction of about $1 per thous-
and has also been made in No.1 cuts,
barn boards, inch box and shaky clear
stock, The best grade of white pine
shingles is quoted at Saginaw at $4.15,
and C. B. shingles at $3.15. Cedar is
worth $3.20 and $2.20 respectively, and
lath is quoted at $4 and $4,50.

The spruce market has recovered as a
result of a meeting of spruce manufac-
turers held at Bangor, Maine, on April
24th, at which it was agreed not to ship
any lumber on the market, but to sell all
cargoes before loading. A price list, pub-
lished elsewhere, was also adopted.

Although no break in hardwood prices
can be reported, the market is somewhat
weaker, particularly for the class of hard-
woods used in building operations. For
elm, basswood, and maple for manufac-
turing purposes the demand is keeping
up. At Boston maple sells at $30 for 1%4
inch, $31 for 2 inch, and $34 for 2% and
3 inch.

FOREIGN,

There is still a feeling of uneasiness in
the British market, due to the high price
of lumber and the consequent decrease in
consumption at London and a few of the
other leading ports. Inland buyers and
builders are buying with the strictest
economy, and unless the demand shall
improve very considerably, some dealers
anticipate lower prices. On the other
hand, it is said that at the first sign of re-
newed trade importers will show a strong
desire to contract for the balance of their
season’s requirements. It is reported
that Sweden has 60,000 standards less for
first-open-water shipment than last year,
and that a limited quantity is expected
from Finland. On the east coast of Eng-
land spruce deals have been sold quite
freely, and more enquiries have been made
for this class of stock than has been ex-
perienced before. Referring to spruce
deals, the Timber Trades Journal says
that if Canadian producers would try to
meet the requirements of the east coast
trade by accurate cutting to specifications,
there is little doubt but that a footing in
those markets could be established, not-
withstanding the fact that Atlantic freights
and insurances are much greater than
from the Baltic. Plasterers’ laths are
reported to be scarce in the British mar-
ket, with correspondingly high prices.
Birch planks also sell freely. Late ad-
vices fron Madrid and Santiago, Chili,
state that the demand there for Canadian
lumber this season will be quite extensive,

HICKORY SQUARES WANTED.

A British firm write us that they are
desirous of purchasing large quantities of
hickory squares, 44 in. x 7% in., of perfect
quality and cut to exact size. Persons in a
position to supply such stock are asked to
communicate with this office.

ENQUIRY FOR BLACK WALNUT.

A_ German firrg of timber importers write
the CanaDa LuMBERMAN that they are in the
market for black walnut, and that they can
use any quantity in lumber as well as logs.
We understand that there is a quantity of
black walnut in Western Ontario, and would
be pleased to open up correspondence with any
person in a position to supply this class of
timber.

arrangements have been made with other
mills to manufacture the logs, so that all
contracts placed for the new cut will be
filled promptly.

THE OTTAWA FIRE AND THE LUMBER
MARKET.

(Correspondence of the CanaDA LUMBERMAN )

Ottawa’s lumber industry, in which was in-
vested millions of dollars, and in which were
employed thousands of men, suffered a severe
blow by the fire which swept Hull and the
western part of Ottawa on Thursday, April
26th. It is estimated that the loss will total
$3,000,000 on the lumber destroyed. A lead-
ing lumberman states that in the twelve hours
in which the flames played havoc inthe im-
mense reaches of lumber piles, at least 125,-
000,000 feet, representing all grades of lumber,
were laid low in ashes. Over 2,000 men are
temporarily thrown out of employment.

At present it is possible to give but an ap-
proximate idea of the individual losses. The
heaviest loser is Mr. J. R. Booth, whose lum-
bering operations have made his name a famil-
jar one on two continents. Mr. Booth’s large
mill was saved after a prolonged fight, but the
greater part of his extensive yards are now
nothing but anarea ofashes. In his five yards
Mr. Booth had at least 80,000,000 feet of lum-
ber, he states, and of this fully 55,000,000 feet
were destroyed. This was all valuable lumber,
worth at least $18 per M, making the loss
almost $1,000,000. All the outbuildings,
stables, workshops, etc., at Booth’s mill were
destroyed, entailing a loss of at least $40,000.
Over $60,000 was invested in the fitting up of
the five yards. Mr. Booth’s handsome private
residence was also destroyed, entailing a loss
of $60,000. A row of twenty houses belong-
ing to him were also burned. Mr. Booth’s
total loss will probably be $1,200,000, on
which no official insurance estimate can be
secured. Itis said, however, by responsible
parties, to be $550,000.

The loss on the buildings, machinery, fin-
ished products and lumber of the E. B. Eddy
Company will total nearly $1,500,000. This
company lost over 4,000,000 feet of lumber.
The loss on finished woodenware, paper, etc.,
amounted to over $300,000, the stock of
matches alone, consisting of 20,000 cases, being
valued at $60,000. The insurance on the Eddy
property is placed at $409,000. Over 1,200
men are thrown out of employment. The
Eddy Company will probably rebuild on a
smaller scale, and it will be at least four years

“had assumed before the fire.

before the works assume the proportions at-
tained before the fire.

In the extensive yards of the Export Lumber
Company there were piled 45,000,000 feet of
lumber, valued at $900,000, all of which was
destroyed. This lumber was fully insured.

The Hull Lumber Company was alsoa heavy
loser. Its well equipped mill and yards of
lumber, containing at least 10,000,000 feet,
rolled skyward in smoke, entailing a loss of
$260,000. About 300 men are thrown out of
employment as a result of the visit paid by the
fire fiend to this industry, With characteristic
energy the members of the company promptly
decided to commence cutting operations at
once, in Bronson & Weston’s old mill and in
Mason’s mill at Hintonburg. “As the Hull
Lumber Company owns extensive limits, its
mill will likely be rebuilt, probably on the old
site. The insurance on this firm’s property is
estimated at about $100,000. As yet, how-
ever, the amount of the insurance has not been
ascertained, as the insurance papers have not
been arranged.

Gilmour & Hughson’s well equipped mill
and extensive yards at the east end of Hull
had a close call, although situated over a mile
from the scene of the first fire. As it was over
2,000,000 feet of lumber were consumed. A
stern fight, successful in the end, was put up by
the mill employees, assisted by 300 lumbermen
employed at Bingham’s boom farther up the
river. Most of the lumber destroyed was the
property of English and American firms, and is
well insured, The insurance was carried by
the Ottawa firms as mentioned above, The
English, Canadian and American firms who
had bought the lumber were Watson & Todd,
Robert Cox & Co., Sharples & Company,
Dobell, Beckett & Company and the Standard
Oil Company.

It is estimated that nearly two-thirds of the
extensive stock of lumber piled in and about
Ottawa was swept away. J, Parr’s planing
mill was also destroyed, entailing a loss of
$10,000. Fraser Hamilton’s mill was reduced
to ashes, loss $7,000 ; J. Oliver & Son’s furni-
ture factory was swept away, loss $10,000 ;
and the Ottawa Specialty Company will have
to build anew. The loss in this case was
$45,000.

The fire may work a revolution in the lum-
ber industry of Ottawa. It is doubtful
whether it wiil again attain the proportions it
The sister cities
of Ottawa and Hull depended largely on the
lumber industry to support their poorer popula-
tion which is now thrown on the charity of the
public. Many of the knowing ones saw in the
recent decline of the Ottawa lumber business
the beginning of the end. Others, however,
J. R. Booth amongst the mumber, were equal-
ly as positive that the lumber industry would
for many years to come continue to support a
large proportion of the population, and en-
couraged by their predictions, all are hoping
that the lumber industry, re-organized with
better protection, will employ even more men
than before. It is understood that the Hull
Lumber Company, which also suffered from
fire a few years ago, intended to enlarge their
mill, and it is possible the present mill will be
restored on more extensive plans.

Already large gangs of men, under the per-
sonal supervision of Mr. J. R. Booth,are engaged
repairing platforms, tramways, etc., and the
large mill will be in operation in less than a
week after the fire. This mill lay in the path
of the fire fiend, but it was saved, the success
being in a great measure due to the admirable
private protective system of sprinklers and
waterworks introduced about four years ago by
Mr. Booth. During the progress of the fire,
the mill was saturated with water inside and
out, and the floors were covered with it three
inches deep. As a result, though the wind
carried the flames in ard through the mill and
piles in the vicinity, they could not secure a
foothold, though stone buildings less than 100
feet away suffered the fate of the other estab-
ments on all sides. Mr. Booth has many sym-
pathizers in his loss, and the entire population
of Ottawa and Hull shares his feeling of pride
in the escape of his splendidly equipped mills.

It is doubtful whether the shores of the Ot-
tawa river within the limits of the suffering
sister cities will ever again loom high and
majestic in the long lines of lumber piles.
The lumber, while always a source of pride,
has by some been looked upon as a source of
danger to the closely populated districts, and
now that the Icng expected destruction has
been done, the citizens express a firm deter-
mination that the lumberman must find his
piling ground outside the city gates. The
problems confronting the lumberman will be
the difficulty of transporting the lumber from
the mills, and the still greater difficulty of se-
curing new quarters. The problem will prob-
ably be solved in part at least by direct ship-
ment on car and boat from the mill, as is done
in many large mills in the United States.

The fire loss cannot be represented by the
figures denoting the value of the lumber
destroyed. It must be remembered in this
connection that a marked shortage in the lum-
ber supply has been caused by the fire, and
prices are bound to advance accordingly. For
building purposes in Ottawa and Hull little
lumber is available,*and it is not likely there
will be any large shipments to outside points.
On the other hand, considerable lumber will
have to be secured from other mills. The
local market, for the present at least, is bound
to be unsettled, and the disposal of the coming
cut and the price thereof is a matter of con-
jecture.

Orrawa, April 30th, 1900,

MEETING OF SPRUCE MANUFACTURERS,

At a meeting of eastern spruce manufacturers
held at Bangor, Maine, last week, an association
was formed called the Eastern Lumber Manufac-
turers’ Association, and the following scale of
prices adopted : 10 and 12 inch dimensions per
M, $20; 3 by 9 inch dimensions, $19 ; 8 inch
and under dimension, $18; 10 and 12 inch
random lengths, 10 feet and up, $18; special
bills, 24 and 25 feet, 10 and 12 inch, $21 ; ran-
dom, 3 by 9, $18; special bills, 24 and 25
feet, 3 by 9, $20; 2 by 3, 2 by 4, 2 by 5, 2 by
6, 2 by 7, and 3 by 4 inches, 10 feet and up,
random, $16 ; 2 by 9, ro feet and up, random,
$17.50. All other random lengths, 10 feet
and up long, 8 inches and under wide, $16.50.

The existing scale of prices adopted March
14 by the manufacturers’ association for rail
shipments to Boston points, was adopted by
this association for shipments to Boston points
by water; terms on Boston shipments, the
usual terms, viz., settlement in thirty days from
date of delivery.

It was further agreed not to ship any lumber
on the market. All lumber is to be shipped on
orders only and sold before loaded.

It was reported that a committee for each
river madea canvas of the situation in their re-
spective districts to ascertain the amount of old
logs and lumber now on hand and the amount
of new logs that will be available for the supply
of saw mills this season, with the following
result :

Old logs and lumber—Kennebec river,
5,000,000 old logs ; 1,000,000 old lumber. St.
John river, 6,500,000 old logs ; 4,000,000 old
lumber. Penobscot river, 19,500,000 old logs;
4,000,000 old lumber. Total, 31,000,000 feet
old logs ; 9,000,000 feet old lumber.

New logs, available some time in June and
later, providing the drives are clean, for manu-
facture into lumber for water shipment—Ken-
nebec river, 40,000,000; Penobscot river,
55,000,000; St. John river (American logs),
86,000,000. Total, 181,000,000.

Add to this 15,000,000 of Ashland Mfg.
Co.’s output of 28,000,000 feet of lumber, to
be shipped by water from Bangor, balance going
by rail, and the grand total available, under
favorable driving conditions, for shipment by
water, is 196,000,000 feet of spruce, the esti-
mates not including pine or hemlock, or pulp
logs.

This shows a shortage of spruce, as compared
with the average of the past five years, approxi-
mating 25 per cent.

The steamer Ardova has been chartered to
carry a cargo of dealsin June from St. John,
N.B., toa British port. The bark Dilbhur
has been fixed to load deals at same port for
Barcelona, Spain, at 63s 9d.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Throughout the timber trade there
prevails a tendency towards lower prices,
The spring demand for lumber has not
developed altogether satisfactorily, the
high price of all building materials having
retarded building operations to some
extent. It is understood that in Toronto
the erection of some important buildings
has been deferred after the tenders
for’ same were taken. Nor have en-
quiries from the Eastern States been as
numerous of late as might reasonably
be expected. Much importance has been
placed upon the fact that by the Ottawa
fire upwards of 150,000,000 feet of lumber
was taken out of the market, but it must
be remembered that the bulk of this was
export |lumber, and consequently the
effect upon the local market will not be
as beneficial as some may suppose. Of
course, the fact must be reckoned with
that the rebuilding of the burned districts
of Hull and Ottawa will consume a very
large quantity of lumber.

A situation favorable to the maintenance
of prices. may be brought about by the
hanging’ up in the streams of a large
quantity-of logs, as up to the present the
progres§ made in rafting operations has
been anything but satisfactory. It must
also be remembered, however, that some
logs were held over from last season, and
that these will increase the lumber produc-
tion. The hardwood manufacturers are
holding very firmly to prices, but dealers
are not buying with much liberality.
They seem to prefer to wait in the hope
of being able to purchase at lower values
at a later date.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

News of a sharp break in prices in the
New York market caused a feeling of
uncertainty in the Jumber trade of the
Eastern Provinces, but as the situation
seems to have been brought about by
exceptional circumstances, there has since
been a partial recovery of confidence.
The news had the effect of checking, to
some extent, the shipments tothe Eastern
States, Local trade is quite brisk, and as

navigation on the St. Lawrence is now
open, we look forward to the usual ship-
ments to Great Britain and other foreign
countries,

The log drives are reported to be
making considerable progress, and the
lumbermen expect that very few logs will
be hung up. The cut on the Nashwaak
is given aS 25,000,coo feet,

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The farmers of Manitoba and the Terri-
tories have been busily engaged in their
seeding, and consequently of late there
has not been a heavy movement of lum-
ber on country account. Any falling off
in this direction has been more than
counterbalanced by increased building
Operations in Winnipeg and_ other
places. The present outlook is for an
active building season and a continuance
of.-a..strong demand for lumber... In
British Columbia nearly every mill is
working to its full capacity, and there
seems little doubt but that the demand
will take care of the entire production.
Several vessels are loading for foreign
destinations.

UNITED STATES,

Lumber dealers in the Eastern States
have taken advantage of the Ottawa fire
to maintain prices ona firm basis. Had
it not been for this circumstance, it is
quite possible that signs of weakness
would have been visible before this time.
The spring has been so backward that the
usual quantity of lumber has not been
consumed in building operations, while the
lack of country trade has also had a
deterrent influence. On the other hand,
the manufacturing demand is holding up
well, and mill owners are not offer-
ing any concessions to dealers. Man-
ufacturers claim that prices are not too
high considering the increased cost of
production, and as they have already dis-
posed of fully 25 per cent. of their season’s
production, they are in a position to feel
independent for some time at least. Piece
stuff only has shown weakness. At
Saginaw log sun pine is quoted at $16 to
$22, box at $14 to $15, Norway at $14 and
$14.50, and mill culls at $12. In the
Boston market white pine is selling at $45
for inch fine common, $53 for inch selects,
$67 for uppers and $36 for inch No. 1 cuts.
Fron: Boston again comes the report of
scarcity of box and mill culls and cutting-
up grades.

Spruce lumber shows a remarkable
steadiness, although the demand is by no
means large. For New York delivery

{I.

the price for 10 and 12 inch boards 1s $20.
Hardwood prices are not as firm as they
were, but the conditions surrounding the
trade are such that no serious decline is
expected. At a recent meeting of the
Michigan Hardwood Lumber Association
reports were submitted from sixty per
cent. of the hardwood manufacturers of
Michigan. These showed the output of
hardwood logs this year to exceed that of
last year by only 5 per cent. Birch and
maple are, if anything, slightly weaker.
FOREIGN.

Some uncertainty seems to exist in
Great Britain as to whether the present
prices for wood goods will be maintained
when the new cargoes commence to
arrive. Importers find great difficulty in
keeping up prices owing to the lessened
consumption, and unless the demand
shall improve we would not be surprised
to learn of a break in prices. At the
present time, however, the market for
Canadian timber is holding up remark-
ably well. At many of the ports there 1s
a scarcity of spruce. At London 3x9
third quality spruce in docks 1s held at
£10 5s, and second quality ,at £10 10:.
Pine deals also continue to sell at very
satisfactory prices.

The French market is now quiet, al-
though reports from Great Britain state
that by no means have sufficient goods
yet been purchased for consumers’ needs.
It is asserted that 150,000,000 feet of
lumber has been consumed in construc-
tion work in connection with the Paris
Exposition.

ENUIRIES FOR WOOD PRODUCTS.

The following were among the enquiries
relating to Canadian trade recently re-
ceived at the office of the High Commis-
sioner for Canada, in London, Eng.

30. A timber house who are buyers of large
quantities of mouldings and ready made sashes
and frames, which might be worked from white
pine, red pine, or bass wood, desire to corres-
pond with large makers in Canada.

Canadian manufacturers may open up
correspondence with any of the firms
making the above enquiries by addressing
a letter to the publishers of the CANADA
LUMBERMAN. When writing refer to the

number of the enquiry.
el

CANADIAN RED PINE.

In the Ottawa district of Canada there is an
abundance of red pine that was at one time

rofitable to ship ts the British market, but
which, says The Timber Trades Journal, of
London, England, since has suffered from com-
petition with cheaper goods, until it has become
hardly recognized as an article of import in the
wood markets of Europe. Now that the prices
of Baltic yellow deals have reached a level that
would cover the cost of importing red pine and
leave a margin of profit besides, the opportun-
ity should not be lost of reviving the dormant
market for the Canadian wood ; but to do this
with any chance of success in the competition
with the ordinary deals would necessitate a
thorougk change in the methods of sorting and
manufacture. Consumers here must have
something in the nature of marks or brands
on the deals that will signify the class to
which they belong, and the lengths cut to the
usual variety for them to select from, Red
pine is in every way suitable for carpentering
and joinery work, and to establish a permanent
trade in it on this side of the Atlantic, in our
opinion, only wants a little management on
the other. The likelihood of Swedish or
White Sea deals of the better class ever going
back to the low prices of ten years ago is
highly improbable from the lessened supply,
which has been decreasing for years, To find
some class of timber that will do in the place
of the North of Europe yellow deal, that is
equal in quality, at a lower price, is what
consumers are looking for, and importers might
profitably meet the desire by enlarging the
trade in red pine. But the shippers, Or
lumbermen, in Canada would have to cut the

wood ina suitable way for the building trade,
and mark or brand it as well. To both the im-
porter and the consumer the distinguishing
mark is of considerable utility as forming @
guarantee of quality that obviates ali disputes,
besides facilitating sales amongst the building
fraternity, who have not always the leisure or
the ability to judge those essential points for
themselves. At any rate, the suggestions we
offer seem feasible, and we shall be glad to
hear the opinions of those who have dealt in
red pine as to any reasons that may stand in
the way of its adoption as a cheap building
wood of the future.

SALE OF TIMBER PROPERTY.

Nearly five hundred square miles of timber
limits belonging to the Cook Bros. Lumber
Company, Limited, were offered for sale in the
rotunda of the Board of Trade building, To-
ronto, on Thursday, May 3rd. ‘fhe limits
are situated on the north shore of Lake Huron,
and consist of thirteen parcels of 36 square
miles each and one parcel of 25 1-2 square
miles, making a total of 493 1-2 square miles.

There was a large attendance of lumbermen,
but only one or two persons represented the
Michigan interests. The sale was conducted
by Mr. Peter Ryan. At the beginning the
bidding was decidedly slow and the first five
parcels were withdrawn. The sixth berth,
No. 155, on the north shore ot Lake Huron,
and containing 25 1-2 square miles, was pur-
chased by the Victoria Harbor Lumber Com-
pany, at $1,500 per mile. Berths No. 156
and_157 were withdrawn at $5,590 and $6,000
per mile respectively. Parcel No. 9, being berth
No. 161, was purchased by W. J. Sheppard, of the
Victoria Harbor Lumber Company, at $3,800
per mile. No, 10 and 11 were withdrawn,
while No. 12, Berth No. 167, was secured by
Brennan & Sons, of Hamilton, at $1,600 per
mile. There wasno bid for parcel 13, but
parcel 14, Berth No. 194, township of Otter,
went to W. J. Sheppard, of the Georgian
Bay Lumber Company, at $1,600 per mile.
The saw mill property at Spragge and the
side-wheel steamer ‘‘Meteor” were then
offered, but no bids being received both were
withdrawn.

Mr. Ryan also placed under the hammer
timber Berth No. 139 on the north shore of
Lake Huron, the property of George H.
Perley, Ottawa. This berth was also with-
drawn.

THE COOPERAGE MARKET.
The American Lumberman thus refers to
the cooperage market at Buffalo :

There is already a casting about for apple-
barrel stock, as the prospect of a crop is so far
good. There will be no buying of second-
class supply by barrel men as yet though, for
there are plenty of chances to take between
now and fall. The jobbers think they will be
able to stand the demand, especially as the
eastern call for flour-barrel stock is light,
though most other industries needing barrels
are active. The big decline of late is in coiled
hoops, 6-foot lengths, selling at $9.50 to $10
and 53-foot at $875. Staves remain firm at
$8.75 to $9 for first class dry elm flour-barrel
stock, with basswood heading at 64 to 6} cents
a set, all by carload lots. In tight barrel
stock tierce staves bring $28 and hoops $13.
Coopers are getting 38 to 40 cents for flour
barrels and paying 6% to 7 cents for making.
Tierces bring ‘from $1.25 to $1.35 and the
maker gets 33 cents. There is the usual
complaint of low prices and small profits in the
barrel business, though jobbers appear to be
doing pretty well. The growing scarcity of
elm constantly increases the use of maple and
other hardwoods for slack barrel staves.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

There is unanimity in one respect in
the reports received regarding the lumber
maiket. All agree that there is not the
snap about the demand that was antici-
pated. Itis admitted that prices have
about reached their limit under present
conditions, and consequently consumers
are Only buyisg for their immediate re-
quirements, feeling that in the near future
they may be able to purchase stock at
lower prices. Besides, the demand from
the building trade has been somewhat
backward owing to the high cost of ma-
terials of all kinds and to rumors of
probable strikes. In the leading cities of
Ontario agreements have recently been
entered into with the trades unions which
will ensure no interruption to building
operations from strikes this season, and it
is possible that from now on the develop-
ment in building may been a more satis-
factory scale. Pine, hemlock and _ hard-
wood lumber have ali felt the effects of
the above conditions, and the market is,
if anything, weaker. In Ottawa the trade
is surrounded by so many uncertainties
that it is almost impossible to gauge the
future course of the market.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,

The present outlook is that the ship-
ment of lumber from the St. Lawrence this
season will be lighter than usual, owing
to the destruction by the Ottawa fire of a
large quantity of export lumber. The
tendency of the export trade is towards
higher prices, as the owners of the burned
stock will no doubt seek to replace it by
purchases from other sources. It is
reported that holders of certain stocks
immediately marked up their prices as
the result of the fire. Local trade in
Quebec and New Brunswick is not all that
could be desired. In Montreal the erec-
tion of several proposed buildings has
been deferred until next year, when it is
thought Jumber prices will be lower. The
demand from the Eastern States has also
fallen off.

UNITED STATES.

The lumber trade of the United States
is quiet. At wholesale points some weak-
ness has been shown, but at manufactur-
ing centers the situation is said to be
stronger. The east is still waiting for
lower prices, and until dealers at dis-
tributing points are given some hope of
being able to replenish their stock at
reasonable prices, they do not feel dis-
posed to sacrifice their present holdings.

This has brought about what might be
termed a deadlock. Spruce and hemlock
are selling at slightly lower figures, and it
is probable that this will stimulate build-
ing operations in the eastern cities, as
these comprise the chief building woods
used in the east. Hardwood prices are
being well maintained. Basswood seems
to lead in demand, but new stock is ex-
pected to come on the market shortly.
Shingle stocks in the eastern cities are
low, and best 18 inch white pine sells at
$4. :
FOREIGN.

Reports from the British market do not
speak very encouragingly of the outlook
for the season’s trade. The consumption
has not improved as might be expected
with the advent of spring, and it is feared
that there will be considerable difficulty
in keeping stocks from accumulating as
the season advances. Some importers of
wood goods are buying at the weekly
auction sales owing to the high prices
asked by shippers in exporting countries.
There are, however, some favorable
features to the market situation. The
stocks of Canadian pine and spruce deals,
etc., at the Surrey Commercial Docks at
London are considerably leis than one
year ago. Of pine deals there were on
April 30th of this year 323,999 pieces,
and of spruce deals 162,706 pieces,
against 369,357 and 355,305 pieces re-
spectively one year ago. The stock of
pine battens shows an increase of 40,000
pieces, but spruce battens are 120,000
pieces less than one year ago. It is also
satisfactory to note that in no class of
Canadian lumber has there been a decline
in price during the past morth; on the
other hand, some varieties have advanced.
At Glasgow second quality pine deals are
about eight shillings per standard higher,
selling at £19 18s 9d to £21 6s 3d for
broad, and £16 tos for undersized.
Fourth quality pine deals have advanced
about four shillings, while red pine deals
are firmer at £15 2s 6d to £16 Ios per
standard. In square and waney timber
there has been some improvement, elm
and ash selling about two shillings per
cubic foot higher than one month ago.
Quebec birch has also undergone an ad-
vance of about one shilling per cubic foot.

The following saw mills were recently
destroyed by fire: The Peckham saw mill
at Vandecar, Ont., loss $3,000; saw mill
and sash and door factory of John Mc-
Laurin at Vankleek Hill, Ont., Joss $6,000 ;
Hunt’s sawmill at Riverview, Ont.; saw
mill at St. Joachim, Que., owned by the
Quebec Seminary.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.

(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN).

The recent disastrous fire and its bearing on
the lumbering industry in the Capital are still
the most absorbing subjects of interest in com-
mercial circles. In some quarters the spread
of the fire is attributed to the presence of the
large areas of lumber in the manufacturing dis-
trict of the Chaudiere, and near the residential
section further south. Hence there is an
agitation on foot to so arrange the fire area and
fire by-law that the mill owners will have to
secure piling ground outside the city. Others
suggest that the lumber be permitted to remain
within the city limits, but at a safe stated dis-
tance from fireproof structures. Mr. J. R.
Booth, the leading lumberman interested, has
entered a vigorous protest to the proposal for
removal. Answering the argument that the
lumber was in the greatest degree responsible
for the fire, he claims that its rapid spread was
made possible by the streets of shingle-roofed
frame houses, with which the burned area was
in a great part built up. Other cities have
came through worse fires than Ottawa, he
claim, and though lumber was a great factor
therein, few charged it with being responsible
for the conflagration. In English and American
cities the lumber is piled somewhat the same
as in Ottawa, but, being surrounded by fire-
proof structures, the danger is reduced to a
minimum. Mr. Booth has a large following
of business men and others, who recognize
what his and other lumbering concerns have
done to build up and support Hull and Ottawa.
They believe accordingly that he should be
encouraged rather than discouraged, which
will be the case if he is compelled to pile at a
greater distance than heretofore.

Discussing the subject himself, Mr. Booth
states that his present piling space is totally
inadequate to contdin the output of his mill,

which is again running night and day. He
will for various reasons be deprived of at least
relieve

piling space for 30,000,000 feet, and to
the pressure he will have to have resource to
increased shipments by rail and water. Unless
he is permitted to use the remaining ground at
his disposal, the lumber king states, he will be
compelled to shut down his mills, throwing
1800 men out of employment. it will take at
least a year and large capital to fit up yards at
the distance proposed by some, and in the
meantime the mills would be idle, depriving
hundreds, now without a home, of their em-
ployment for that time. The council is thus
called upon to face a serious problem. Many
maintain that the driving out of the lumber in-
terests wiil not affect the city, as other industries
giving steadier employment and paying higher
wages will succeed the lumber mills. As
pointed out by Mr. Booth, the experience of
past years has proven the fallacy of this
prophecy. Several mills have shut down and
nothing in the industrial line has taken their
places, while those industries wiped out by the
fire were many of them dependent on the
lumber mills.

Mr. Booth states that the fire will only
affect the export trade temporarily, and
only to the extent of the export lumber
wiped out by fire. Owing to shortage of
piling space, his shipments must be largely
increased, and hence any pressing short-
age in the English and American markets
will in a degree be satisfied.

Gilmour & Hughson’s mill, which es-
caped the fire, is running full time, and the
W. C. Edward's mill is being operated
night and day to satisfy the increased
demand resulting from the fire and loss of
lumber. The Hull Lumber Co., whose
mill and yards were wiped out, is operat-
ing Mason’s mill, Hintonburg, and making
preparations to operate the Ritchie mill at
Aylmer and Bronson & Weston mills
as well. The combined cut of these three
mills will satisfy the shortage caused by
the destruction of the old one. These
mills will be operated night and day.

It is not likely that the Hull Lumber Com-
pany will rebuild its mill before next
spring, as it is almost impossible to get
timbers to build the mill, fit up the yards,
etc. These will be got out probably dur-
ing the coming winter.

The lumbermen state that the fire will not
seriously affect the English market for
some time, as sufficient lumber can be got
now to supply present demands. Nearly
all the lumber destroyed was seasoned
stuff intended for later shipments, and there

will be a shortage felt in this all next
season, as the supply cannot be procured
as readily as that of the green stuff.

Prices remain firm on the Ottawa mar-
ket, but as extensive building operations
have not yet been entered upon, the whole-
sale prices have not suffered an advance,
they may any day, however, as soon as
the question of fire areas and fire by-laws

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

are settled, and the class of structures re-
quired decided upon.

Sir Thos. Hughes, head of the well-
known Liverpool lumber firm of Hughes &
Son, was in Ottawa last week and visited
the Booth mill. He states that the outlook
for Canadian lumber interests in England is
good, and he does not anticipate any
marked advance on account of the short-
age of export lumber caused by the fire.

Orrawa, May 14, 1900.

GLASGOW MARKET REPORT.

Messrs. Edmiston & Mitchells, in their
monthly timber circular of 3oth April, review
that market as follows:

‘Che timber trade has continued fairly active
during the month just closed, and while buy-
ing generally has only been indulged in toa
very moderate extent, it is satisfactory to find
that the sawmills are fully employed. Prices
for all wood goods have now reached a point
at which retailers do not feel justified in hold-
ing heavy stocks, consequently buying is of a
somewhat hand-to-mouth character. For the
above reasons, c.i.f. purchasers of Quebec
goods are under-bought, and must come into
the market soon.

Scotch shipbuilders launched during Apul
27 vessels aggregating 26,545 tons, as against
25 vessels of 40,886 tons in 1899. The first
part of the month brought no new orders for
ships, but during the latter part new work
amounting to 30,000 tons has been booked.
Including these new orders it is estimated that
the amount of work under construction in the
Scotch shipyards aggregates 168,000 tons, of
which the Clyde claims 160,000 tons. The
high cost of material and labour prohibits ship-
owners from adding to their fleet to any large
extent, although we hear of some good enquir-
ies for further tonnage,

In house-building, while there is a marked
falling-off, there continues to be quite a lot of
good work being carried on, such as public
buildings and better-class dwelling-houses. It
is satisfactory to note that all the working-
class houses so extensively built in and around
Glasgow and other manufacturing centres re-
cently are generally all occupied.

WaANEY BOARDWOOD :—There have been a
few orders placed during the month, one of
200 loads first-class Deckwood, 1400 cubic
feet per page, at fully 2s. 9d. per cubic foot.
In second-class Boardwood there has been
little doing, one or two small sales at Is. 7d.
to Is. 9d. per cubic foot.

RED Pink :—We hear of no business doing.
There is, however, an inquiry in the market
for 250 loads, but the stock is more than
ample.

Oak :—We have no sales to report during
the month. Long ogs, 50 feet and up, are
being enquired for, but there are very few on
Land. The stock of ordinary 65 to 70 cubic
feet average is large. .

ELM :—There is fairly active demand, and
the stock on hand is light. Sales are reported
at 3s. to 3s. 3d. per cubic foot, according to
size.

QueEBEec BircH :—There have been two
small arrivals of Canadian Logs via Portland,
which were sold oncontract. The demand is
only moderate, and sales are mostly of a retail
nature. 14%-inch average has been sold at
18d. ‘‘ex store,” and 16-inch at 20d.

N. B. Bircu .—There has been one small
import from St. John, which went into store.
Values range from Is. 5d. to Is. 7d. for 15 to
16-inch average, but the demand is not active.

N. B. PLanks:—A Halifax shipment of
300 standards was placed this month at12%d.
per foot ‘‘ex quay.” There is a fair enquiry,
particularly for 2¥%4-inch.

AsH :—The stock on hand is practically ex-
hausted, and early arrivals should meet with a
ready sale at good prices. Nominal value of

15-inch is 2s. 3d. in ponds.

DEALS :—There have been no transactions
of importance during the month. Deliveries
from public yards are, h~wever, satisfactory,
and well up to the average. Prices are with-
out change, and well maintained. Current
values are as follows :—Broad First Pine Deals
have been sold at £25 to £28 10s.; ri-inch,
£23 to £25 ; ends and non-dimexsions, ALT
to £22. Second Pine Deals—11-inch and up,
£17 to £21; non-dimensions 413 to £15.
Third Pine Deals—11-inch and up, ATI 10s.
to £13 ;narrows, £8 5s. to £9 15s.; ends,
£7 10s. to £8 10s. Fourth Pine Deals—11-
inch and up, £8 10s. to £93 narrows, AT
tos. to £8. Red Pine Deals—g to 11-inch
by 3 and 4 inch, Liz los. to £14 10s.5 nar-
rows, £10 to £12 10s. First Quality Pine
Sidings—8 to 9 inch average, £17 5s. to £18
Ios.; 10 to 11 inch average, £18 10s. to 20
10s.; 12 to 13 inch average, £22 to £24.
Spruce Deals—7 and 8 inch by 3 inch, 47 15s.
to £8 5s.; 9 to £1 inch by 3 inch, £8 15s. to
49 10s.

MARKET CONDITIONS IN AUSTRALIA.

The following particulars of the timber mar-
ket at Melbourne, Aus., are furnished by the
last monthly timber report of Fraser & Co.:

There is practically no alteration to report
in the state of the market during the past few
weeks, the demand generally continuing active,
while values have remained in the improved
condition which has in late months been noti-
fied. In some descriptions a tendency to pro-
cure better rates has been manifested, but with
the exception of a few quittances in smal] par-
cels, sellers have not shown any inclination to
seek for increased prices upon those which we
quoted in our circular of the 12th ult. Should,
however, the consumption improve, or even no
decrease be experienced within the next few
months, there is every probability of higher
figures being required, for the c.i.f. quotations
from abroad are still or the upward grade, and
eventually, we think, it will be found necessary
for buyers in this colony to respond in pro-
portion to such increase in shipping costs as
may be shown in the near future. It is in all
the more important classes of timber consum-
ed inthis market that higher rates are now
asked for at the ports of exportation, and as
the difficulty of securing tonnage for early ship-
ment still exists, we anticipate that an advance
in prices generally will be shown at this end for
supplies now on the water and for operations
arranged which will come to hand in the course
of the next six months.

SPRUCE AND BaLTic WHITE DEALS, :—
Imports: 48,076 feet super. Arrival: Invin-
cible, from San Francisco. Stocks are almost
entirely in hands who require the same for
their own manufacturing purposes. Values
are consequently nominal, and of no guide to
shippers.

OREGON PINE:—Imports: Nil. Import-
ers and holders are firm, as stocks appear some-
what below the probable demand ere fresh
arrivals can come upon the market. A fairly
large line has changed hands at £7 10s. dur-
ing the month, and although nothing of im-
portance has been concluded at over this figure,
no business will likely be done under 47 I5s.
per 1000 feet super. in the near future.

THE BARBADOS MARKET.

Of the lumber and shingle market at Bar-
bados, West Indies, Messrs. Clairmonte, Mann
& Company say :

With the exception ofa small lot, which
proceeded elsewhere, there have been no
arrivals with white pine and spruce lumber
during the fortnight, our yards are rather bare
of both kinds. There is always a good demand
for spruce during our reaping season, which
extends up to June. Last sales were: White
pine, $22.57 for first quality, and $16 for
second quality ; spruce, $21.00 for first quality.

Gaspe cedar shingles are in supply, and
market very dull. There is a large lot in store
unsold, principally small, for which $3.75 per
M is asked, but much less would be accepted
to make a sale.’ No late arrivals of laying
shingles ; last sales were made at $2.20 for
cedar and $2.05 for spruce ; cypress, we note
the sale of 82 M ex Wm. F. Campbell from
Wilmington, N.C., at $8.50 for 6-inch hearts,
and $6.50 for 6-inch saps.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Dealers and manufacturers of lumber
are putting forth every effort to prevent
prices from depreciating, but with one or
two exceptions the conditions seem to
favor a weaker market. The movement
of lumber is not nearly so active as might
reasonably be expected, and if the demand
does not improve in the near future, a
readjustment of prices will be necessary.
Building operations have been quite
backward, and the manufacturing de-
mand, while of considerable volume, has
not expanded to the extent that was antici-
pated afew months ago. The enquiries
from the United States, instead of in-
creasing as the spring advanced, have
fallen off slightly. It seems that consum-
ers of lumber have resolved that prices
will go nc higher, and consequently they
are purchasing only for immediate re-
quirements, believing that when the new
cut isin shape for marketing there will
be a drop in prices. ‘As an offset to these
conditions, there is the prospect of a con-
considerable quantity of logs being hung
up in the rivers in the Georgian Bay and
Ottawa Valley districts. Should this be
the case, the cut of lumber for the season
will be curtailed, althoug’ not to the ex-
tent of the logs hung up, as it is said that
several Michigan lumbermen holding logs
on this side of Lake Huron have been
unable to make arrangements for the saw-
ing of them. These would take the place
to some extent, perhaps, of the logs hung
up. Inthe Ottawa Valley the local de-
mand for lumber has been stimulated by
the recent fire. Hardwood prices do not
show a general decline, but in one or two
cases some weakness is reported.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,

Lumber shipments from the eastern
provinces to the United States are light
for this season of the year. There is little
demand for schooners, and freights show
a declining tendency. It is said that
recent shipments cf lumber to New York
have not been en irely satisfactory, and
that there is an inclination to wait until
the demand there shall improve. Trans-
Atlantic trade is more active, and an
average ru nber of vessels has been char-
tered to carry lumber cargoes. From
Nova Scotia comes the report of a con-
siderable demand from South America
and the West Indies. The log drives are
coming along more hopefully, some
of them having already reached the
mills,

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The demand for lumber in Manitoba
and the Territories is steadly improving,
with prices exceptionally firm. A strong
market is also reported from British
Columbia. Lumber freights have ad-
vanced, but as many of the mills effected
charters some months ago, they are now
reaping the benefit of their action. Ex-
port trade is very active, twenty-one ves-
sels having sailed from British Columbia
ports forforeign destinations up to May Ist
of this year. Of this number nine were
billed for the United Kingdom, six for
Australia, and three for South America.

UNITED STA'TES,

The chief feature of the United States
lumber market is the report which comes
from Minneapolis, that owing to the
absence of rain many of the mills will
have to close down on account of a short-
age of logs, while there is also a possibil-
ity that a considerable quantity of logs
will be be hung up inthe streams. This
is an element likely to give strength to
the market, but so far as the present situ-
ation is concerned, it seems that it has
been more than offset by the non-develop-
ment of the consumptive demand. There
is a feeling of uncertainty in the trade,
and consumers and wholesalers are limit-
mg purchases to immediate requirements.
In white pine there has been a deprecia-
tion of from 25 to 50 cents per thousand
for piece stuff, and in hemlock the market
is slightly weaker than it was one month
ago. The east is still endeavoring to
bring about lower prices, and in this
they have been given some assistance by
dealers at eastern wholesale centres,
where it is thought that the prices asked
at producing points are out of proportion
to the retail price of lumber. At Saginaw.
and Bay City, Canada log run pine is
held at from $16 to $18, and box I:mber
at $14 to $14.50. Hardwood prices are
exhibiting a slight weakness, but no
general decline can as yet be reported. In
New York city ash is quoted at $43 for
inch, and $49 for 1% to 2 inch.

The tendency is towards lower prices
for lath. This is evidenced by the action
of the Wisconsin Valley Lumbermen’s
Association on May 15th, when the entire

price list of lumber was re-affirmed, but
prices on lath were lowered to $3.50 for
No. 1 white pine, $3 for No. mixed, and
$2 for No. 2.

FOREIGN.

The opimion seems to be_ gaining
ground in Great Britain that the importa-
tion of lumber this season will be moder-
ate, not only from Canada, but trom the

{I.
SHIPPING MATTERS.

north of Europe countries as well. This
feeling has already restored confidence in
the market, as it has been admitted for
some time that unless this circumstance
was brought about, prices would be likely
to weaken in view of the decreased con-
sumption. The shipments of pine from
Canada to Great Britain will doubtless be
considerably less than last year. Within
the past fortnight there has been a slight
advance in the price of pine deals, and
the demand for seasoned lumber is certain
to improve in the near future. The posi-
tion of the spruce market is set forth in
the Timber Trades Journal as follows:
“The spruce market is as firm as ever,
and good prices are realized for all useful
sizes. At the London auctions, 24%4X7
New Brunswick stuff fetched £9 5s, and
2x4, £8 103, prices that were never
reached before, and not even dreamt of
a couple of years ago. From what we
can see there willbe a big demand all
through the season. The small stock
wintering has been sold long ago, and
considering the big demand at the present
moment, the first few cargoes that arrive
—-which we understand will be rather late
__will soon be swallowed up. We know,
for a fact, that a great many of the out-
ports have not purchased yet, and what
with the high freights ruling there 1s very
little possibility of prices falling. All 11-
in. 1s very scarce, and this width at any
thickness will, doubtless, fetch unusually
high prices when they reach the market.”

——_—_—_—_

STOCKS AND PRICES
At Springhill, N. B., as high as $10
per thousand is being paid for spruce logs,
while the average price is $9.50.
The schooner Fred J. Wood left Van-
couver, B. C., last week for Kobe, Japan,
with a cargo of 800,000 feet of lumber.

The lumber exported from St. John, N.
B., during the month of April was valued
at $385.720, compared with $285,101 in
April, 1899.

On the Lake Huron shore, and at in-
terior railroad shipping points in Michi-
gan, ties are selling at 22 to 25 cents.
The quotation on the Saginaw river is 38
and 4o cents.

The cargo shipments of lumber from
British Columbia during the first three
months of this year totalled 13,110,620
feet, as compared wlth 6,534 404 feet for
same period in 1899.

Clarke Bros., of Bear River, N. S., ex-

ect to cut at their two mills ¢his season
about 8,000,000 feet of lumber. This firm
own a considerable area of spruce and
hardwood limits in Nova Scotia.

The steamer Labuan is loading 3,500,-
000 feet of deals at Parrsboro, N.S., for
Manchester, Eng., the cargo being sup-
plied by M. L. Tucker. The steamer
Lady Iveah is loading at the same port
for the east coast of Ireland.

At Buffalo cedar posts are quoted at
13 cents for 8-foot lengths, 3 to 4inch
tops ; 15 cents for 4% inch tops ; 17 cents
for 5 inch tops, 10 foot lengths, and 22
cents for 6 inch tops. Ties areona basis
of 52 cen!s for firsts, while poles are not
really quotable, as many sizes are wanted.

Recent rains in Quebec have greatly
assisted river driving, and the logs are
making favorable progress. The Lauren-
tide Pulp Co., of Grand Mere, took out
about 900,000 logs last winter, about
one-half of which is pine to be sawn
into deals. The St. Maurice Co. have
about 300,000 pieces to drive.

Three timber berths were sold at the
crown lands office, Fredericton, N. B.,
last week.. A six mile berth on Mersereau
stream went to Hilyard Bros. & Co. at
the upset price; a four and one-half mi e-
block at the head of Salmon Brook,
branch of Cain’s River, to Sumner & Co.,
at the upset price, and a two mile block
on the west side of the Magaduavic River
to John E. Moore, at $8.25 per mile.

Penobscot lumber shippers are, it is
said, standing by their recent agreement
with relation to forwarding stock to the
New York market, and in consequence a
better condition of things is already in
sight. Although not all of the eastern

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

shippers were in the agreement, it was
believed from the first day of the cam-
paign, which culminated in the meeting
in Bangor, that the dealers would see the
wisdom of standing by the understanding
that no random shipments were to be
made.

———

THE SITUATION AT MINNEAPOLIS.

A leading manufacturer of white pine at
Minneapolis, Minn., who is of the opinion
that there will be no weakening in white pine
prices this season, expresses himself regarding
the situation as follows:

Considering present market conditions we
do not see that there is any reason to believe
that there will be any reduction in the present
values for white pine lumber. The log situa-
tion in the whole territory manufacturing
white pine at the present time is very serious.
Practically all the drives are hung up and on
some streams no attempt has been made to
start driving. Ona few streams where water
was held under storage the drives have been
start-d, but are now either abandoned or are
moving so slowly that the results promise any-
thing but an early or regular supply of logs for
the mills.

This condition of affairs is not confined to
any one locality, but is prevalent over almost
the entire territory of Wisconsin and Minne-
sota. In many districts the mills are already
shut down and in others they anticipate an
early shut down. Locally at Minneapolis the
boom company figures that it will have logs
enough to last from the 2oth to the 25th of this
month, but in all probability all logs will b e
turned through by the latter date. This would
mean that every mill in Minneapolis would be
closed down not later than June. The next
drive coming from Brainerd under present
conditions would not reach here to be available
belore the middle or latter part of June. This
would mean that if weather conditions do not
change; and change radically, we would lose
two to four weeks or longer right in the middle
of the sawing season.

The terrible fire at Ottawa, Canada, means
that certain districts of the eastern states will
have to look west for their supply, asa large
portion of this lumber was to go into the New
England territory. It means that all told from
400,000,000 to 500;000,000 feet of Jumber will
be taken out of stock sheets when made up the
end of the sawing season.

Present prices of stumpage and-logs are on
such a basis that a decline in present market
prices for lumber would mean a serious loss to
parties supplying their mills by logs bought in
the open market, and the basis of values on
logs means that lumber cannot be sold at less
than present prices without an actual loss to
the party manufacturing the logs.

General conditions of trade throughout the
entire country are good, perhaps not as good
asa year ago, owing to the extended labor
troubles, but the volume of business taken as a
whole is enormous. Although the year 1899
was a banner year in the shipment of lumber,
we believe that the shipments for the year
1900 from January I to May 1 inclusive, will
nearly, if not quite, equal those of the corres-
ponding period last year. The general con-
dition of the farmers throughout the entire
west is prosperous, and they have to-day an
enormous purchasing power. Prices on all
classes of agricultural products, with the excep-
tion of wheat and oats, are high. Taking all
these conditions as outlined above into con-
sideration, we feel warranted in predicting
that the year 1900 will asa whole maintain
the present average price of white pine lum-
ber.

FIRMNESS AT BOSTON.

Few changes of importance have developed
in the Boston market during the past month,
and the relation of supply to demand is prac-
tically the same, offerings of dry lumber being
light, and the views of holders as to the value
of spot lumber decidedly firm. The con-
trolling factor in the situation, says the Lum-
bermen’s Review, seems to be the demand for
factory lumber to be used in the construction,
enlargement or repair of factory and mill
buildings. Where the retail yard, by reason
of its surroundings, is obhged to rely upon the
builders for its outlet, complaint of slow and
unsatisfactory trade is quite general. Quite
frequently one sees or hears the report that the
season is very backward, but the mere fact

that the average temperature 1n April was
decidedly low does not constitute a valid
reason why the builder with a contract in-his
hand should not proceed with the werk, for
the frost has been out of the ground from four
to six weeks, and where orders have been
placed for new construction as a rule the build-

ings are now well advanced. Investors and

speculators are still laboring under severe
apathetic pressure, and are planning very little
inthe way of new construction, though they
have seen the first rift in the dense cloud of
unduly inflated prices for building material in
that cut of $20 per ton in nails and the general
tendency to shave off something from all
classes of iron products.

Factors to be reckoned with in summing up
present and prospective conditions in the lum-
ber market are strikes and politics. For some
months past there have been rumors of im-
pending strikes in the building trades, and
May 1 was the date set for an uprising ; but,
happily, a settlement was effected in a major-
ity of cases before that date. An eight-hour
day, with a uniform wage scale, formed the
basis of the demands of the unions.

The hardwoods are moving less freely,
and a little more pressure is noted on the
part af shippers to move their stock. This
is particularly true of the varieties which
originate in Canada, New York, Pennsyl-
vania and Michigan, while oak, both plain
and quartered, thin ash and poplar are in
good demand and firm, where prompt de-
livery of dry stock is called for. Mahog-
any is still a free seller at top figures.
Local manufacturers find the American
market sufficiently broad and active to
absorb all offerings of dry lumber, and as
a result very little is being sent abroad.

The following prices govern both rail
and water shipments :—1o and 12 inch di-
mensions, $19.00; 9 inches and under,
dimension (frames, etc,) $17.00 ; yard or-
ders cut on even feet to be same price as
dimension. Above prices are based on
lengths not over 28 feet, and for all lumber
cut to specified lengths longer than 28 feet
add $1 per M for every two (2) feet or
fraction thereof. 10 and 12 inch random
lengths, 10 feet and up, $18.50 5 2X3, 2X4,
2x5, 2x6, 2x7, and 3x4, random lengths,
ro feet and up, $15.00 ; all other random
lengths, 9 inches and under 10 feet and up,
$16.50; 156 inch laths, $3.15; 1% inch
laths, $3.00; 5 inch and up merchantable
boards, 8 feet and up, p. 1}. s., $17.00; out
spruce boards p. |. s., $14.00 ; bundled
furring random lengths p. 1. s., $14.50 5

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Low water in the streams in the Geor-
gian Bay district is causing lumbermen
much anxiety, and it is feared that a con-
siderable proportion of the winter’s cut of
pine logs will be hung up. The failure to
secure a supply of logs has already delay-
ed the starting up of some of the mills.
These mills, even if they should com-
mence cutting almost immediately, will
not be in a position to have dry lumber
ready for shipment before August. The
outlook, therefore, is that there will be no
recession in prices before midsummer at
the earliest. Although a fortnight ago it
seemed that the market was on the verge
of aconsiderable decline, the circumstances
since that time have been such as to
give little hope that prices will weaken in
the near future. An increased number of
enquiries have been received from the
United States during the past week, and
it is expected that there will be a consid-
erable demand from this direction, which,
with the local trade, will consume the en-
tire production of lumber for these mar-
kets. Inthe Ottawa valley there is, as
might be expected, a strong demand for
the lower grades of lumber to be employ-
ed in rebuilding operations in Ottawa and
Hull. Pine box culls are quoted at an
average of $14.50 per thousand, and mill
culls at $13, the range of prices being
about one dollar below and above these
figures. No. 1 pine lath is stil! selling at
$3 to $3.25, but No. 2 has declined slight-
ly in value, selling at $2 to $2.50.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,

Recent rains in the eastern provinces
have greatly improved the outlook for
rafting operations. The. indications are
that the entire cut of logs on the principal
rivers in Quebec, and~on the St John
and Miramichi rivers. in New Brunswick,
will be gotten safely. to the mills., On

some of the smaller streams driving work
has already been completed. Most of the
mills are in operation, and an average
production of lumber is expected this
season. In Quebec the home production
of lumber promises to be above the
average. There is a scarcity of dry
lumber for building purposes, and con-
tractors are paying about $5 per thous-
and feet more than they did this time
last year. For cedar shingles there is a
moderate demand, and large manufac-
turers are holding firmly to prices.

UNITED STA‘’ES,

The consumption of lumber in the
United States is by no means as large as
it should be. Strikes in the building
trades are still handicapping the growth
of demand, although it cannot be said
that there has been no expansion during
the past week. The east has improved,
and there are indications cf more active
trade in the near future. The chief inter-
est in the lumber market pertains to the
log supply and the present prospect that
a considerable quantity of logs will be
hung up in the streams in Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Michigan. At time of
writing seventeen milis on the Mississippi
river above Minneapolis are shut down for
want of logs, and at other points similar
conditions exist. As pointed out in an
article elsewhere, it is not improbable
that the cut of Norway and white pine
may be reduced by from 15 to 25 per
cent. This circumstance has already had
the effect of strengthening the market,
and holders of pine who showed a dispo-
sition to Cut prices are now asking full list
quotations. At eastern wholesale points
pine and spruce are held at firm prices,
although the movement of stock is slow.
There seems reason to believe, however,
that the eastern consumers will be com-
pelled to yield, as buyers who have visited
western producing points have not been
able to purchase stock at prices lower
than were paia for their present supply.
In the New York market spruce is held
at 518.50 to $21 for log run. The hard-
wood market has undergone no important
change. Buffalo dealers are said to be
selling at the following quotations, in car
lots f.0.b. Buffalo: Common and cull
black ash, $31; inch black ash strips,
$27 ; inch firsts and seconds, black ash,
$39; 1 inch cull basswood, $20; 1 inch
common maple, $19 to $21; inch firsts
and seconds, soft elm, $27 ; 134 inch red
birch, $45. At Boston 1 to 2 inch ash sells
at $48 to $52, and three inch at from $55

inch, and $31 to $33 for 134 to 2 inch.
Elm is quoted at $30 to $32, and bass-
wood at $31 for 1 inch and $33 for thicker.
Hemlock prices have declined about one
dollar per thousand.

FOREIGN.

More favorable reports are to hand
from Great Britam, and it now seems
that prices, for Canadian deals at least,
are not likely to weaken in the near future.
The demand is improving and stocks are
gradually becoming reduced. At Liver-
pool pine deals have advanced in price
within the past fortnight, and there is a
likelihood of a further advance in Quebec
spruce. Consumers of white pine, fear-
ing a limited supply this season, are show-
ing astrong disposition to purchase for
their requirements. Third quality pine is
being held as high as £15 per standard,
and cargoes of New Brunswick spruce
have been sold at £7 15s for delivery at
Liverpool. Considerable stock has been
sold for shipment to South Africa, and
upon the termination of the war an im-
portant demand from this source is ex-
pected. In square timber elm-and birch
seem to be most enquired for, and high
prices are being realized for stock on
hand.

THE LUMBER SITUATION.

It is believed that there will be a con-
siderable shortage of lumber this year in
the United States and Canada, brought
about by the Ottawa fire, forest fires, and
the prevailing drought. Mr. Chas. A.
Stone, of the Nicola & Stone Lumber Co.,
Duluth, Minn., has set forth the situation
in the following words :

“ The continued drought and forest fires
in the lumber-producing territory of the
North-west are becoming a serious matter
to the lumber-producing interests, as they
are bound to add greatly to the shortage
which existed at the beginning of the sea-
son.

“ A summary of all pine stocks on hand
December 1, 1899, showed a shortage as
compared with the same date of 1898 of
766,000,000 feet ; as compared with 1897,
I,187,000,000. feet, and with 1895, 1,452-
000,000 feet, showing a large ratio of de-
crease of product. It was expected, on
account of the advanced values, that the
production for 1900 would overcome a
large part of this shortage for the present
season by the stimulation of log output,
but because of unfavorable logging condi-
tions there has resulted an additional
shortage of log production. The principal
cause therefor was the lack of snow. Of
this reduced log output a large proportion
is still on the rollways of the rivers, be-
cause the usual winter and spring floods
did not occur to bring it out. The logs
now hung up must in all probability re-
main where they are for many months,
and can probably only come out for the
next season’s sawing, unless most usual
flood conditions occur. But the season
of floods is largely past, and it is a matter
of interest that a prediction that this will
be a year of unusual drought is at least
being verified in the lumber-producing
country of the North-west. Such rivers as
the Brule, Nemadji, Amicon and the Iron,
principally tributaries to Ashland and
Duluth waters, have their rollways of
logs still untroken. This will reduce the
possible production of lumber by all mills
except such as have rail facilities to
supply logs, and must reduce the possible
output of the Ashland and Duluth dis-
tricts alone by over 200,000,000 feet.

“ The territory west and north of Lake
Superior will suffer more than Duluth anc
Ashland, as it is almost entirely depend-
ent on the rivers forraw material. Add-
ed to this are the enormous losses of logs
by forest fires, of the amount of which
no accurate estimate is possible.

“The Ottawa fire destroyed not alone
125,000,000 feet of sawn lumber, but in the
burning thereof reduced their possible out-

put for this year at least 200,000,000 feet
more, which does not include 100,000,000
feet which will be required to replace the
burned district. The markets depending
on the Ottawa production will naturally
look to their nearest source of supply,
which is the Georgian Bay district, and
this demand will largely remove that out-
put from the available supply for the
United States.

“This summary of the situation shows a
shortage in the Norway and white pine
production this year as compared with
last, in the North-western States and Can-
ada alone, of about 1,900,000,000 feet,
made up as follows : Shortage in stocks
on hand at the beginning of the season,
766,000,000 feet ; hung up by drought at
the head of Lake St. Superior, 200,000,000
feet ; hung up in the Missisippi valley
and north of Lake Superior, 500,000,000
feet ; loss through the Ottawa fire, 425,-
000,000 feet. This shortage is about one-
third of the entire cut of the year 1899. It
follows that such a shortage must produce
a heavy loss to the lumber producing in-
terests, but more than this, all that can be
produced this season can only beat a
very largely increased cost, because of
the increase in the cost of stumpage and
a large advance in wages and the cost of
supplies.

‘This condition of shortage in the pine
available finds a parallel in other produc-
ing fields, as in yellow pine, which shows
a shortage of several hundred million fret,
because of lack of water to float logs.

“These facts show that instead of an 1n-
creased production of lumber this year, as
many predicted eariy in the season, there
is bound to bea great shortage in the
stocks available for the consuming mar-
ket.”

STOCKS AND PRICES,

During last winter there were shipped
from St. John, N.B., to trans-Atlantic
ports 14,526 standards of deals, or about
29,000,000 feet.

John Kilburn, of Fredricton, N. B., has
11,000,000 feet of logs from the Upper
St. John in safe waters, but 3,000,000 feet
have been hung up.

Considerable lumber has been purchas-
ed by the Botsford-Jenks Co., of Port
Huron, Mich., for the construction of their
new elevator at Midland, Ont.

About one week ago seven large
barques were loading deals at Halifax, N.
S., for the United Kingdom. These ves-
sels alone will carry over 5,000,000 feet.

The Rat Portage Lumber Co., of Rat
Portage, Ont., have just been given a con-
tract to supply 1,500,000 jeet of lumber
for new elavators to be built in Manitoba
by the Ogilvie Milling Co.

Lowther & Wood, of Oxford, N. S.,
have just purchased the Nix property at
River Philip. They have about 400,000
feet of spruce sawn, and expect to have
2,000,000 feet ready for shipment by Aug-
ust Ist.

The Tracadie Lumber Co., of Tracadie,
N.B., have completed driving operations,
and have a stock of 10,000,000 feet of
pine and spruce logs at their mill. The
company have sold the greater part of
their output for this year.

The St. John Sulphite Pulp Co. have
3,000,000 feet of logs in the Mispec river
en route to their mill at St. John. About
the same quantity has been secured on
the St. John river and a million more will
go down the Mispec river in July.

Messrs. Heidritter Bros., of Elizabeth,
N. J., have secured control of the old
Beland mill on the Jacques Cartier river
near St. Gabriel, Que., and intend oper-
ating it. The firm own extensive limits
on the Jacques Cartier river and formerly
operated a mill in Quebec, under the
name of the Batiscan Lumber Co.

The deal trade is likely to be an im-
portant factor in the Penobscot lumber
business this year, as several steamers
have been chartered to load at Bangor,
Maine, for the United Kingdom. Ship-
ments to Europe from Bangor have gen-
erally been from 5,000,000 to 7,000,000
feet, but this year’s exports are likely to
reach 8,000,000 feet.

The Port Hood Coal Co., of Halifax,
N. S., want tenders for 70,000 lineal feet
of spruce or hemlock wharf logs, not less
than Io inches at small end under bark,
not more than 20 per cent. to be 12 feet
long, and 25 percent. to be 25 feet long,
also 43,000 lineal feet of spruce or hem-
lock ballast floor logs, in 12 feet lengths,
not less than 5 inches at small end.

General Alger has sold the last of his
Ontario timber limits, 108 square miles on
the north shore of Lake Huron, to Fer-
guson & McFadden, of Renfrew, Ont., for
$150,000. The deal was negotiated by
Mr. Peter Ryan, of Toronto. General
Alger is largely. interested in the Lauren-
tide Pulp Company at Grand Mere, Que.,
who own large timber limits on the St.
Maurice river.

Mr. Pendennis White, of the firm of
White, Rider & Frost, North Tonawanda,
N.Y., thus refers to the lumber market :
I can see no reason why there should be
much reduction, or a permanent reduc-
tion, in the selling price of lumber. The
cost of production is not likely to decrease,
but it is more hkely to increase. The
value of stumpage is at least 50 per cent.
higher than it was eighteen months ago,
and will undoubtedly continue to increase,
as the quantity is being rapidly dimin-
ished by the amount of lumber being
produced and also by the destruction of
the small timber by turpentine manufac-
turers. The seriousness of this last feature
has been largely increased by the greatly
increased price of turpentine and resin
during the last few months. Another
reason for s'umpage increasing in value
is that timber lands are gradually going
into the hands of a few holders who will
be able to control the production of lum-
ber. The rates of wages for labor have
been advanced in ail lines, and are likely
to be advanced still more, owing to the
scarcity of labor, which is being felt every-
where. The cost of mill supplies is not
likely to decrease much, if any. So upon
the whole there seems to be no reason-
able ground for supposing that the cost of
lumber will be less than at present, nor,
so far as I can see, is there any reasonable
ground for thinking that the demand - for
lumber will be materially lessened. We
may soon expect South Africa to bea
large buyer, and this, with only a normal
demand by the regular markets, will do
much toward stiffening prices.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

Some rain has fallen during the past
week, but not sufficient to materially assist
driving operations on the’ rivers. The
present outlook is that a quantity of logs
will be hung up in the Georgian Bay,
Algoma and Rainy River districts. The
lumber demand 1s not developing sati;-
factorily, and there are indications of a
weakening in prices. There is no life to
the United States trade. In Ottawa,
where active building Operations were
promised as a result of the fire, the
builders’ Jaborers have gone on strike.
In Toronte the building permits
issued up to the first of June
of this year show a falling off in value as
compared with the same period last year.
In the face of these conditions, whole-
salers and retailers are buying -only
moderately, while some manufacturers
are showing eagerness to have the stock
at their mills moved to provide piling
ground for their new cut. It is difficult
to size up the situation, but it would seem
that if the demand does not improve in
the near future, lower’ prices will be the
result. There is no change in the price
of pine lath, which, in view of its en-
hanced value, was expected to weaken
before this time.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Writing to the Canapa LUMBERMAN,
a manufacturer on the south shore of the
St. Lawrence, in Quebec, states that he
has at present more orders for lumber
on his books than he can execute for a
considerable time to come. While this
may not be absolutely true of all manu-
facturers, it reflects the condition of the
lumber market in that province. The
local spring demand has been quite up to
the average of last year, while export
trades exceptionally good. The recent
rains in the eastern provinces have raised
the water in the streams. All the drives
on the South-West Miramichi, in New
Brunswick, have reached the corporation
limits, and on the St. John river satis-
factory progress is being made.

UNITED STATES,

Viewing the situation from the stand-
point of demand, it cannot be said that
the lumber market of the United States
is particularly strong; but taking into
consideration all the circumstances affect-
ing the production, the outlook.is more
hopeful. Wholesale and retail dealers are
buying with the utmost economy, while
the c8nsumptive demand is by no means

as heavy as it was at same time last year.
Manufacturers, however, are holding their
stock at high prices, and it would seem
that the market is not likely to weaken
for some time to come. The logging
situation has not improved, and many of
the mills on lake Superior are shut down
owing to a shortage of logs: Spruce has
weakened to the extent of one dollar per
thousand feet on dimension. The spruce
manufacturers evidently believed that
such action might stimulate buying on the
part of retailers. Hardwood prices are a
trifle weaker, due no doubt to the report
of a considerable increase in the supply of
green lumber at the mills. At Buffalo
there is a scarcity of inch maple, basswood
and black ash.

FOREIGN.

Prices of Canadian deals in the British
market appear to be holding exceptionally
strong. The demand at London has
improved, and it seems probable that
prices will remain firm for some weeks
to come, as the opinion is gaining
ground that the imports this season will
be light. It is admitted that a relaxation
in freights might bring about a break in
prices of spruce and pine deals, but at
present there is Jittle indication that
freights will become weaker. Ata recent
sale held in London, first quality Quebec
spruce, 3x9, realized £13 for 12 feet, sec-
ond quality selling at £10 5s. A cargo of
spruce oddments from St. John, N. B.,
brought exceptionally -high prices, the
range being from £8 5s to £11. Some
red pine, 3x 11,sold at £19. At Liver-
pool several good orders have been book-
ed for Quebec waney board pine at a
substantial advance over the prices ruling
last year. It 1s also reported that an ad-
vance has taken place in the price of
Quebec ash, which is reported to be un-
usually scarce.

A large speculative demand has sprung
up from South Africa, which has had the
effect of strengthening the British market.

A meeting of the Eastern Manufactur-
ers’ Association was held at Bangor,
Maine, on May 29th, at which, it is esti-
mated, over 80 per cent. of the spruce
manufacturers of the east were In attend-
ance. According to an estimate made
there will be a shortage of at least 25 per
cent. in the log supply as compared with
one year ago, but owing to the light de-
mand for lumber it was decided that a gen-
eral curtailinent of production of 50 per
cent. should be made during July and
August. Anew price list was adopted
to remain in effect until September Ist,
The new list is as follows: 10 and 12
inch dimension, $19; 9 inch and under
dimension, $17 ; 10 and 12 inch random
lengths, 10 feet up, $18 ; 2x9 inch, ran-
dom lengths, Io feet and up, $16.50 ; 10X
12 inches, 24 and 25 feet lengths, $2 per
M extra over 10X 12 inch dimension; 2x3,
2x4, 2X5, 2x0, 2X7 and 3x4, 10 feet and up,
$15.50 ; all other random lengths, 9 inch-
es and under, 10 feet up, $16.50; plan-
ing one side 50 cents ; planing two sides
$1; planing three or four sides, $1.50;
planing one side and grooved, Sr ; plan-
ing one or two sides and matched, $1 ;
butting to exact lengths 50 cents per M
extra ; splines not less than $1 per M ex-
tra. Above prices are for New York de-
livery, eastern survey. For Boston ship-
ment by water, one dollar per thousand
less than the price list of the railroad sys-
tem was adopted, with the exception that
price of 2x3, 2x4, 2X5) 2x6, 2x7 and 3x4,
to feet and up, was made $14.50 per
thousand.

SS
THE AUSTRALIAN MARKET.
The last monthly timber report of Fraser &
Co., Melbourne, says of the Australian mar-
ket :

The extraordinary demand for timber
being shown in so many parts of the world at
the present time has led to further increased
values being secured at the markets of export,
while freight rates have also improved at most
places, and apparently will be maintained for
some time tocome. Although our market has
responded to some extent to the increase shown
in f.o.b. and freight quotations, there is yet,
however, room for improvement in this direc.
tion, for there are several important lines
which are shipped to here, more especially in
Baltic imports, which should be advanced in
price. Business within the past four weeks
has been fairly brisk, but as arrivals have been
of no magnitude, there has been little to offer
““ex wharf.” A better enquiry, it is antici-
pated, will be experienced during the next few
months, and as shipments of varied descrip-
tions will shortly be to hand, there should be
no trouble to obtain necessary requirements,
though it is possible that importers will en-
deavor to procure slightly higher figures for
some kinds than have lately been paid, which
for a time may have the effect of keeping
buyers from purchasing any quantity more
than would be necessary for early actual wants.

OREGON PINE.—Imports: Nil. Stocks in
first hands are limited, though holdings in the
trade are sufficient to cover requirements until
the first few shipments come upon the market,
48 per 1,000 feet super. is now quoted for
small lots, though no business of importance
has been done at this figure.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

A few dealers and manufacturers tell of
a slight improvement in the lumber trade
during the past week, but the more gen-
eral report is that the demand is develop-
ing very slowly. The month of June is
generally characterized by considerable
orders for stock, but in this respect the
present month does not compare favorably
with June of last year. ( onsidering the
demand, prices are reasonably firm. In
some instances a slight weakness has de-
veloped. In the Ottawa valley shipping
cull stock is a trifle lower, while lath 1s
quiet and weaker. It is expected that
lath will decline in price in the near
future, as present prices are considered to
be out of proportion to the actual value of
the material. The trade has made a
strong effort to prevent the prices of pine
lumber from going lower, but it seems
unreasonable to expect that present prices
will hold throughout /he season. On the
other hand, we do not anticipate more
than a moderate reduction, as the cost of
producing lumber has been greatly in-
creased within the last year.

Recent rains have increased the out-
look for driving operations, but it is prob-
able that from Io to 15 per cent. of the cut
of pine logs will be hung up. In the Otta-
wa valley a drive of 5,000,000 feet, taken
out by a prominent manovfacturing firm, is
hopelessly stranded.

In some sections hardwood stocks are
quite large, and manufacturers are show-
Ing some anxiety to dispose of their hold-
ings. Inthe Wiarton district summer
cut basswood, mill run, has been sold at
$15, and winter cut at $17. Elm has been
held fairfy steady, but a decline in the
price of this lumber is anticipated, as
prices last winter were above normal.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

This spring has witnessed a marked re-
vival in'building operations in Winnipeg
and insmany of the smaller towns of
Manitoba and the Territories. A number
of important buildings are under way, and
the season promises to be one of unusual
activity,. The movement of lumber 1s
consequently large,and dealers and manu-
facturers report good business. In British
Columbia the mills are busy. One mill
has contracted to supply 22,000,000 feet of
lumber for the foreign trade, and is said
to have’refused a contract for 10,000,000
feet more. Another mill expects to ship
50,000,000 feet before November, a large
portion of which will goto China. On the
whole the lumber trade of the coast is in
a very satisfactory condition.

UNITED STATES,

Labor trouble, dull building operations,
and a feeling of uncertainty as to the
market situation generally, are responsible
for the inactivity which characterizes the
lumber trade of the United States. The
movement of lumber has for some time
been below normal, and were it not that
stocks are held in strong hands, a break
in the market would have occurred before
this time, The mill men are practically
Carrying the stocks, as dealers and con-
sumers are purchasing only for immediate

requirements. The demand for box lum-
ber has fallen off perceptibly, manufac-
turers having purchased heavily early in
the year. [tis not likely, however, that
there will be any serious decline in the
price of box material. Reports from the
Eastern States are to the effect that there
is no sign of a general break in vaiues,
although in one or two instances lower
prices are said to have been quoted. Lath,
as was expected, has sold off, being about
one dollar below the highest price cf Jast
winter. The price of spruce lumber has
not receded, but quotations for delivery
next month are being made ata decline
of about fifty cents per thousand from
present quotations.

Hardwood prices have shown weakness.
Everything except poplar is slightly lower,
and as a result enquiries for stuck are in-
creasing. At Buffalo the demand for
birch, maple and basswood continues
strong.

GREAT BRITAIN.

Although the tone of the British timber
market is quiet, there has been no decline
in prices, and those,quoted are almost the
same as the ruling prices one month ago.
The market is, if anything, a trifle firmer,
due to the impression that there will bea
light import this season. The easiness
in the money market 1s another favorable
factor. Spruce and pine deals are mov-
ing with some freedom, and stocks at the
leading importing centres have become
considerably reduced. At recent auction
sales prices have been well maintained,
notwithstanding that building has been
retarded by the high price of materials.
Importers are holding spruce at HO Colat
Liverpool, and believe that this is none
too high in view of the scarcity of tonnage
and excessive freight charges. Itis said
that the liners from Montreal have taken
but a very small quantity of pine deals
and boards, as there has been no dearth
of freight for which better prices could be
obtained. Concerning an auction sale
held in London an exchange states that
the St. John spruce sold very high, and
that a capital price was realized for a very
ordinary lot of Miramichi fourths. The
unsorted parcel of floated spruce from
Bay Verte realized £9 for 3x 13 inch, £8
5s for 3x7 inch and 3x 6 inch, and £8
for 3x 5 inch.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.

(Correspondence of the CanapA LUMBERMAN).

The export lumber business in and about
Ottawa is quiet at present. A member of a
leading firm of mill owners stated to-day that
one reason for this falling off was the difficulty
in arranging for ocean carrying facilities. The
increase in other lines of shipping, and the
demands made on the ocean bottoms by the
War Department, are responsible for the
dearth of vessels for the lumber trade. The
shortage in the local supply of lumber caused
by the recent fire has also been in part respon-
sible, but it is expected that this stringency
will soon be tided over. Mr. J. R. Booth’s
mill is working night and day, and the Hull
Lumber Company have two small mills running
full time. Asa result the burned district is
looming high with lumber once more, and
shipments are being made by rail and water to
American points.

It is expected that a considerable quantity of
lumber being cut now will be in shape for the
English market before many months, although
it will not class as well-seasoned stock. If the
ocean carrying facilities show an improvement,
the lumber business with Great Britain will in-
crease in proportion, as there should be a
sufficient supply to satisfy the demand. At
present but little lumber is being shipped from
Ottawa by water, owing to the fact that the
yards nearest the river side, swept by fire,
have not been restocked. ¥The greater part of
the shipments are being made by rail.

As might be expected, building operations
are unusually brisk in Ottawa since the fire.
Asa result the prices of culls, shinzles, laths,
ard other lines of lumber required in the local
market remain firm, and the jobbers report an
improvement in business. The various sash
and door factories are also working full time
and consuming large quantities of lumber.

Shipments of culls and the lower grades of
lumber to the American market have fallen off
considerably in the past month, and prices
have declined slightly in odd lines. This is
due to the fact that the American market is
over-stocked at present in these particular lines.
Shipments of the better grades to American
points are large, however; both J. R. Booth
and the Hull Lumber Company are shipping
several carloads daily by rail. Much of this is
being forwarded direct from the mill.

The local mill owners report that the drives
in several of the smaller streams running into
the Ottawa, Gatineau, and other large rivers,
have been interfered with by low water, as the
spring freshets have all passed, and the streams
are all reduced to normal level, in some cases
even lower. No less than 37,000 logs belong-
ing to Gilmour & Hughson have been stuck on
the Tomacline river, a tributary of the Gati-
neau. The blockade was caused by the break-
ing of a large dam which lowered the water.
The logs that were got into the larger streams
early in the spring, however, are being rushed
down to the Ottawa mills, and the river is at
times covered with them. It has been remark-
ed that, despite the destruction of the mills,
the drives on the Ottawa and Gatineau appear
as large as ever.

At present there isa well-organized strike
amongst the laboring classes in Ottawa, which
has interfered considerably with the building
operations, but as the carpenters have not
joined in, the effect on the lumber market is
not as great as it otherwise would be,

A stringent fire by-law calls for the erection
of fire-proof buildings only in Hull. This
covers the entire city, and hence the demand
for lumber is not as great as it would be were
frame buildings allowed to be erected. Not-

withstanding, several of the neighboring mills
are working full time to supply lumber for
local consumption in Hull and Ottawa.

It is expected that Shurley & Dietrich, saw
manufacturers, of Galt, will establish branch
works in Ottawa to supply the market of the
Ottawa Valley. About fifty hands will be em-
ployed at the outstart. The site chosen is
that on which the Ottawa Paper Co.’s mill
stood at the Chaudiere.

Work is progressing steadily about the prem-
ises of the E. B. Eddy Company, and prepar-
ations for rebuilding are well under way. The

‘match factory and paper mills will be running

before the end of the year, but the woodenware
and sulphite works may not be completed till,
later. One of the first buildings to be com-
pleted and fitted up will be the saw mill.

Charlebois & D’Amour, whose planing
mill and box factory on Brewery Street was
destroyed in the recent Hull fire, have de-
cided to rebuild. The new factory will cost
about $8,o0c when fitted up. Neither Parr’s
planing mill nor the Ottawa Specialty Works
are likely to be rebuilt. These were amongst
the leading woodenware industries.

Geo. Daglish’s new match factory at Hull
is now being operated. The first matches
turned out were given over to the Relief Com-
mittee and distributed amongst the fire suffer-
ers. These matches were the first turned out
in Hull since the fire. Up to this trme Hull,
the situation of the Eddy Works, was the
match centre of the world.

The English war office has placed an order
with the Walters’ Axe Company, of Hull, for
roo axes of the type used by the Canadian
lumbermen. The present is a trial order, the
axes to be used in the army and navy.

Many rivermen and lumbermen have re-
turned to Ottawa from the drives and camps.
They report the past season a busy and profit-
able one on account of the high wages and
plentitude of work.

It has not yet been decided whether the
Hull Lumber Company will rebuild its mill
or not.

During the past week over 75 men have left
Hull and Ottawa to work in lumber mills at
Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. A similar number
have left for Sturgeon Falls to work in the
mills, and others have left for Michigan points,
to resume work in the lumber industry. Many
of the men were previously in the employ of
the E. B. Eddy Company and Hull Lumber
Company.

Ottawa, June 12th, 1900.

MARKET CONDITIONS AL LIVERPOOL

According to Farnworth & Jardine’s_ wood
circular of June Ist, the arrivals from British
North America during the past month have
been 9,872 tons register, against 29,300 tons
register during the corresponding month last
year, and the aggregate tonnage to this date
from all places during the years 1898, 1899,
and 1900 has been 105,694, 121,525 and
119,404 tons respectively. The business has
been fairly satisfactory, but quiet. The im-
ports, with few exceptions, have not been
too large, the deliveries show some improve-
ment, and there is little change in values to re-
port ; stocks generally are light.

Pine TimBer.—Of waney and square there
is little change in the market to report; the
first of the season’s shipments of waney pine
has just arrived and will probably go largely
direct into consumption ; the deliveries have
been fair; the stock is light and values are very
firm. Square is only in limited demand.
Red pine has arrived more freely, but the de-
mand is quiet. Oak: There has been a mod-
erate import and the deliveries have been fair-
ly satisfactory ; the demand has slightly 1m-
proved and prices are firm ; stocks, however,
are fairly large. Elm: One small parcel has
arrived which should meet with ready sale, as
the stock was almost exhausted ; prices are
steady. Ash has been more enquired for and
the stock is light.

Prinz DraLs.—There has been a moderate
import, and as the deliveries have more than
kept pace, stocks are now reduced toa moder-
ate compass, viz., 6,600 standards, against
12,700 standards for corresponding month last
yrar ; values have improved but owing to the
uncertainty as to what extent the recent fire
at Ottawa will affect this branch of the trade,
there has been little business negotiated re-
cently. Red pine deals continue in fair de-
mand, and prices are firm.

New Brunswick AND Nova SCOTIA
SPRUCE AND Ping DeAts.—The arrivals dur-
ing the past month have been small, viz., about
1,500 standards, against £1,500 standards for
corresponding month last year. The deliver-
ies have been fairly satisfactory and the stock
is now reduced to 7,200 standards ; there has
been more enquiry and prices continue fairly
steady. Pine deals have improved in value ;
and stocks are light.

BircH.—Of logs, Quebec has been import-
ed moderately. The arrivals, however, have
been chiefly from the lower ports. The de-
liveries have been unsatisfactory and values
are weaker; stocks are not too heavy. Of
planks there has been a very large import, but
the deliveries have been satisfactory and there
is little change in value to report ; the stock is
not too heavy, but caution should be exercised
in consigning to a more moderate extent.

COOPERAGE STOCK.

Concerning the cooperage stock market
Messrs. Sutherland, Innes & Co., of Chatham,
Ont., say:

The stave jointing season is now in full
swing, and mill men are beginning to catch
up with their orders, coopers being in better
shape for dry stock than they have been for
months. The demand continues equal to the
supply ; in fact, of No, 2 staves, the supply
is still very short. Prices continue to be fully
maintained ; for choice No. 1 staves most of
the manufacturers are looking for high prices.
The visible supply of logs is very much less
than was estimated on April Ist.

Some of the hoop manufacturers got severely
rattled during April and early May, thinking
there were more than enough hoops to go
around, taking it upon themselves to cut prices
$2, and even $3, per 1,000 below March
prices. These men are now rushing to the
other extreme, quoting figures higher than the
market warrants. From $10 for 6 foot hoops,
they dropped to $7, now are back to $9, while
$8 is about the market price. The splendid
show for fruit has been the cause for these
mercurial changes.

The hoop market is really in better condition
than for the past six months, as, while prices
are lower than for some time, the market is
steady, and there is not that uncertain feeling
predominating which is so disastrous to pro-
ducers and consumers alike.

The situation on heading is a little easier,
and, as the mills are mostly running, the coop-
ers will be able to get a regular supply. Prices
remain practically unchanged over 1900 con-

tract purchases. The extremely high prices
paid in some cases during the early part of the
year are, of course, out of vogue, but no cut-
ting is being done on the part of the mill men,
for the simple reason that they can still get
their own prices, provided they are not ex-
orbitant. Stocks of heading bolts, more es-
pecially basswood, are very light, and unless
there is unusually good trucking weather this
summer and fall, there is going to be a short-
age this season.

ENQUIRIES FOR WOOD PRODUCTS.
The following were among the enquiries
relating to Canadian trade recently re-
ceived at the office of the High Commis-
sioner for Canada, in London, Eng.:

31. A Glasgow firm ask for names of Can-
adian firms manufacturing wood dowels,

32. Enquiry is made for a list of the prin-
cipal pulp making firms by a gentleman who
contemplates starting an agency for the sale of
Canadian wood pulp.

33. The addresses of Canadian manufac-
turers of round wood dowels are asked for by a
London importer.

34. A London paper agent who has had
experience in handling the product of Cana-
dian mills desires to get into communication
with manufacturers in the Dominion who de-
Sire to open up an export trade.

35. A firm buying box boards from time
to time will be glad to send specifications of
their requirements to Canadian houses able to
meet them.

Canadian manufacturers may open up
correspondence with any of the firms
making the above enquiries by addressing
a letter to the publishers of the CANADA
LUMBERMAN. When writing refer to the
number of the enquiry.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

There has been a very moderate move-
ment of lumber during the past week.
Consumers are purchasing for immediate
requirements only, while dealers appear
to believe that the market is on the verge
of breaking, and consequently they have
not been liberal buyers. The manufac-
turers, on the other hand, are putting
forth a strong effort to maintain prices at
their ptesent basis, and it must be said
that generally they have met with success.
The action of the lumbermen of Western
Ontario, at their meeting on the 15th inst.,
has given increased strength to the
market. At this meeting, a report of
which will be found elsewhere, figures
were presented showing the total pros-
pective cut of the Georgian Bay mills this
season’ to be 470,000,000 feet, of which
70,000,000 feet has already been sold. The
quantity of pine lumber which will be
placed on the market this season will, it
seems, be limited, instead of excessive as
some suppose. The opinion was unanim-
ous that prices should be maintained, and
that the present somewhat backward
demand was but temporary.

Hemlock lumber has weakened, and
where a few weeks ago $10 per thousand
was the quotation at the mill, purchases
are now being made at $9, and some
manufacturers are said to be quoting as
low as $8. Whether other classes of
lumber will follow in the line of hemlock
is a question in dispute. Some of the
hardwoods, particularly elm and maple,
are showing signs of weakness, due to a
heavy production in Western Ontario.
No changes have been made in the
Toronto quotations excepting on lath,
which has been marked down about 25
cents per thousand, No. 1 selling at $3.50.
In the Ottawa valley the only changes
are on shipping cull stock, which is
slightly weaker. ;

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,

An advance has taken place at Quebec
in the price of white and red pine timber.
Square white pine, in the raft, 40 to 50
feet average, is now quoted at 34 to 4o
cents, 19 to 21 inch Ottawa waney at 40
to 50 cents, and 19 to 21 inch Michigan
waney at 45 to 50 cents, while red pine
sells at from 23 to 30 cents, the latter
figure being obtainable for first-class tim-.
ber in shipping order. Other varieties of
timber are selling at previous quotations.

The spruce market generally is firm,
and although the demand from the United
States is quiet, manufacturers are holding

firmly to prices. The export trade is im-

proving, and during the past week several

vessel charters have been made.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

. The value of building permits granted
this year in the city of » Winnipeg!. -ex-
ceeds the sum of $600,000. This will
give some idea of the extent of build-
ing operations, not only in Winnipeg,
but generally throughout Manitoba and
the Territories. There has been a steady
demand for lumber, and prices have been
very satisfactory. Until recently the crop
outlook, owing to drought, has not been
very promising, but it is reported that
much-needed rains have fallen. The con-
ditions in British Columbia are somewhat
similar, excepting that the improvement
in the demand over last year is more par-
ticularly in export trade. The large
manufacturers report orders now on their
books which will tax the capacity of their
mulls for months to come, and the present
indications are that the volume of trade
this season will exceed that of any
other year.
UNITED STATES.

The lumber market of the United
States has, within the past few days,
shown elements both of strength and
weakness. Perhaps the most important
factor of strength is the almost certainty
that the white pine production at many
points will be about 25 per cent. less than
was counted upon early in the season, this
being due to the continued drought, which
has prevented the manufacturers from
getting a full supply of logs. Features of
weakness are the slow demand, the heavy
stocks held at some of the eastern whole-
sale points, and the reported fluctuations
in prices. One dealer may report that
there has been no decline in the price of
lumber, while another may mark down
the list perhaps $2 per thousand. Reliable
information from Albany states that
uppers and fine common have declined
about $2 per thousand, and _ that
barn boards, box and common stock are
from $1 to $2 lower than they were a
couple of weeks ago. In Buffalo and
Tonawanda most of the dealers are hold-
ing to the old list, but some are reported
to be quoting stock at a considerable re-
duction. On lath, however, prices at all
points have declined. No.1 white pine
is selling at Buffalo at $4, No. 2 at $3.50,
and mixed at $3.75. In Chicago prices of
lath have likewise dropped $1 per thous-
and. The demand for shingles and lath
is quiet, due to decreased building opera-
tions. Spruce lumber is holding firm-

Merchantable log run is selling in New
York at $20 to $21 by car and $19 to $20
by vessel. The supply of hardwood has
become more plentiful. The output in
Eastern Michigan this season willbe larger
than usual, and it is probable that slightly
lower prices will rule.
GREAT BRITAIN.

The position of the British market is
reflected by the stocks on hana at the
Surrey Commercial Docks, London. In
comparison with the same time cne year
ago, the stocks show a decrease of 60,478
pieces of pine deals, 80,986 pieces of pine
ends, 42,000 pieces of spruce deals, and
1,713 pieces of battens, and an increase of
32,503 pieces of pine battens, and 6,018
pieces of spruce ends. When it is re-
membered that the stocks of one year
ago were by no means heavy, the present
satisfactory condition of the supply will
be understood. As the quantity of stock
to be received in Great Britain this
season from Canada and the Baltic is
certain to be less than usual, it seems
likely that still higher prices may rule.
The high freight rates will also assist in
maintaining the market. It is said that
60 shillings has been paid on a cargo
from Miramichi, N.B., to London, which
is the highest rate known for many years.
The sale is reported of two cargoes of St.
John spruce at £7 15s on vessel at Bristol.
This is an advance upon late quotations.

For square and waney timber there is
only a limited demand, although prices
generally remain firm. The exception to
this is birch, of which the import has been
heavy, and which is selling at two shillings
per cubic foot lower than one month ago.

MEETING OF ONTARIO LUMBERMEN.

A representative meeting of the Ontario
Lumbermen’s Association was held at the
Board of Trade Council Chamber, Toronto,
on Friday, 15th inst., Mr. John Waldie, the
president, in the chair.

The following members were present :—
Messrs. H. Cargill M.P., R. Laidlaw, N.
Dyment, M. Boyd, Geo. Thompson, R. Watt,
C. Beck, John Charlton, M.P., W. J. Shep-
pard, John Bertram, H. L. Lovering, A. E.
Dyment M. P., R. Jackson, W. B. Tindall,
Secretary.

One of the principal matters up for discus-
sion was the business outlook for the balance of
the year, particularly as to the advisability of
the present prices being maintained.

The following facts were presented :—

Total amount of lumber of the

cut of 1899 on hand at manu-

facturing points on Georgian
Bay 11,000,000 ft.
Total cut of 1900 as now known 470,000,000 ft.
Total 481,000,000 ft-

Of this new cut 70,000,000 feet is sold to
American yards for distribution and placed for
industrial uses, leaving only 411,000,000 feet
available for the season’s competitive trade, in-
cluding last year’s stock. Taking into consid-
eration the stocks that under ordinary con-
ditions must be carried over from one year to
another at these mills to be 220,000,000 feet,
(which was the quantity on hand January Ist,
1899) would determine the amount short on
this season’s market from Georgian ‘Bay points
to be at least 240,000,000 feet.

The meeting was unanimously of the opinion
that with the limited cut and the active Eng-
lish demand, and with a very large shortage of
logs at all manufacturing points in Wisconsin
and Minnesota, as confirmed by the Trade
Press of the United States, and alsoa great
shortage occasioned by the Ottawa fire, there
was no fear that a good demand at present
ruling prices for all grades will soon set in.
Notwithstanding this owing to the high wages of
last winter, only a fair profit would remain to
the mill. .

THE GLASGOW MARKET

Of the Glasgow timber market Messrs. Ed-
miston & Mitchells, in their monthly timber
circular, say :

Business during the past month has been—
as is not unusually the case at this period of the
year—somewhat quiet, the buying generally
being of a retail nature. Several steamers are
to hand from Montreal, which, compared with
last year, bring a comparatively small amount
of timber and deals, and the bulk of itis on
contract. Old stocks are now reduced io a
very small compass, and the statistical position
of the market is favourable ; but, notwith-
standing this favourable feature, buyers are by
no means inclined to stock themselves heavily
at the high prices asked for fresh importations,
nor are they likely to alter their attitude until
they feel satisfied that any likelihood of prices
weakening is remote. The output of Scottish
shipbuilders for the month is 56,970 tons,
against 52,130 tons for May, 1899. New
orders unfortunately only amount to approxi-
mately 15,000 tons, but negotiations for some
important contracts are still in progress, and it
is hoped that some of these may come to the
Clyde.

WaneEy Boarpwoop.—First-class : A few
small sales are reported at from 2s 9d to 2s
1od per cubic foot on a basis of 70 feet aver-
age. There are not many enquires in the
market, For second class prices have ranged
from 1s 7d to ts 9d, but the amount of busi-
ness done has been trifling in extent.

RED PinE.—No sales are reported. The en-
quiry in the market for 250 loads has not so far
been placed.

Oak.—The stock on hand is considerable
and quite ample for the probable prospective
requirements of the market for some time.
There are no sales of importance to report.

Eim.—A few small sales are reported at
from 3s to 3s 2d for prime 45-foot timber.
The stock on hand is light,

QueEBEC BircH.—The arrivals this month
are 1,256 logs, a portion of which is on con-
tract. Of consigned parcels a few sales have
‘been made at from 1s 9dto 2s per cubic foot
on a basis of 17 to 17}4-inch average. Buyers
are rather inclined to hold off under the im-
pression that prices will be easier.

Lower Port BircH.—The arrivals com-
prise 341 logs St. John’s, and 369 logs Pictou,
both of which shipments are sold ‘‘ex quay”
at about 18d, on a basis of 16-inch average.

BrrcH PLANKs.—About 150 standards have
been sold during the past month at 124d per
foot ‘tex quay.”

AsH.—The stock is exhausted, and early
arrivals of first-class white ash logs will find

buyers without difficulty. Nominal value of
15-inch about 2s 3d per cubic foot.

Deats, Erc.—Deliveries from public yards
keep satisfactory, showing a good all-round
consumption. New business, however, is hard
to negotiate on account of the higher prices de-
manded by shippers, and while sales during
the month have not been numerous, higher
values have certainly been established.

Current values are as follows :—Broad First
Pine Deals—have been sold at £27 to £28 153;
11-inch, 423 to £25; ends and non-dimensions,
£17 to £22. Second Pine Deals—11-inch and
up, 420 to £21 10s; non-dimensions, 414 to
£16. Third Pine Deals—1 I-inch and up,
£1278 6d to £14; narrows, £9 15s to £10
tos; ends, £8 10s to £9. _ Fourth Pine Deals
—1t-inch and up, £9 to £9 10s; narrows, 48
to £8 10s. Red Pine Deals—9 to 11-inch by
3 and 4-inch, £12 10s to £14 10s; narrows,
L10 to £12 tos. First Quality Pine Sidnigs—
8 to 9-inch average, 418 to £19; 10 to 11-inch
average, £20 10s to £21 10s; 12 to 13-inch
average, £22 to £24. Spruce Deals—7 and
8-inch by 3-inch, £8 to £8 10s; 9 to It-inch
by 3-inch, £8 15s to £9 10s.

TIMBER MARKET REPORT.

The following reference to Canadian timber
is found in the monthly report of Messrs. Alfred
Dobell & Company, of Liverpool :

WANEY BOARD AND SQUARE PINE.—Prices
of waney are very strong. A large shipment
has arrived, and is going direct into consump-
tion. Several parcels now due have been sold
on contract. Of square the stock is sufficient
for the languid demand.

Oax.—There has been fair enquiry and
prices are steady.

ELM.—One parcel has arrived, which is
going into consumption at high prices.

BircH.—Logs -have arrived freely ; prices
are slightiy easier. Planks—The import has
been very heavy, and prices have a downward
tendency.

PINE DEALS AND Boarps.—-Owing to the
fire at Ottawa prices have advanced materially.
The stock, especially of the higher grades, is
very light.

New Brunswick AND Nova SCOTIA
SpRUCE DEALS.—The import has been small,
with a good demand, and prices are very firm.
A number of special sizes are out of stock.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

The lumber situation at the present
time is the most peculiar that has been
known for many years past. There are a
number of causes, operating for and a-
gainst a changein prices. Building oper-
ations, except at Ottawa, are proceeding at
a much slower rate than was anticipated
earlier in the year. The outlook early in

the season was very promising, but in-

vestors appear to be holding off in con-
sequence of the high price of materials
and in the hope that prices may decline.
Building operations in the principal cities
of the United States, notably Chicago,
have largely declined in volume as com-
pared with last year, owing largely to la-
bor disputes and strikes. This condition
of affairs is having its effect upon the
lumber market cending to weaken prices.
The untavorable outlook for this season’s
crops, due to the want of rain, is another
influence adverse to the maintenance of
prices. The demand from the farming
community, under favorable conditions, is
alarge one. Ifthe crops turn out badly
projected improvements and repairs will
not be undertaken,..and there will be in
consequence, a considerable falling off
from this source. As against these ad-
verse influences there is the fact, already
mentioned, that many of the rivers and
streams used to float the timber to the
mills have, owing to the drought, lessen-
ed in volume to such an extent that it is
not possible to get the timber out. The
Spanish river, for example, is said to be
9 feet lower than in any previous year.
The reduction in the cut-of the mills this
season due to the above circumstance
must act as an important factor in ‘ main-
taining prices, more particularly in view
of the fact that stocks in hand at the
opening of the season were unusually
light. It may possibly be that prices may
slightly decline for a time, but manufact-
urers are reported to be holding out for
present figures. The manufacturers of
packing boxes are said to be receiving
very few orders, the reason for which is
not yet apparent. A large amount of red
pine boards and deals ranging from one
inch and upwards in thickness, and from
seven inches and upwards in width are
said to have been sold at good prices to
British buyers, and this is helping to

‘ steady the market.

QUEBEC’ AND° NEW BRUNSWICK,
The export trade continues to be ham-
pered by high freight charges, and ship-
pers are somewhat at a loss to understand

from what direction relief may be expect-
ed. The South African war, no doubt
created a demand for vessels, but these
should now be available for other pur-
poses. Shipments tothe United States
have fallen off greatly during the present
season as compared with last year, and
the customs returns for May show that
lumber exports from the port of St. John
amounted to only $198,828 as compared
with $424,267 in May 1899. . There has,
however, been a good demand through-
out the season from the United States for
spruce boards, for box stuff, prices ranged
from $9 to $9.50 per thousand feet on the
wharf at St. John.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The outlook for the sale of lumber to
the farming community is) discouraging,
in view of the unfavorable crop conditions
at present prevailing throughout Mani-

‘toba, and ‘to some extent in the North

West Territories also. While reports
vary considerably, there is little question
that the yield of grain'in the North West
this season will fall very far below that of
recent years. The blow will not fall so
heavily upon the farmers as it would have
done a few years ago, seeing that they
are not entirely dependent, as formerly,
upon wheat growing, nevertheless,
the shortage will be such as tobe severe-
ly felt, and will be the means of. restrict-
ing the use of lumber for improvements.
Fortunately, as stated last week, building

‘operations at Winnipeg have been un-
‘usually brisk, affording an outlet for a

large quantity of lumber. There is no
material change in the situation in the
province of British Columbia.

The statistics of the Pacific coast shingle
industry show that during the first five
months of 1900, 900 more cars of shingles
were shipped than during the same period
of 1899. During the month of May the
Canadian Pacific railway is repcrted to
have transported 75 cars of shingles from
British Columbia.

UNITED STATES.

There appears to have come a sudden
dullness of demand for lumber, the cause,
apart from the great falling off in build-
ing operations due to laLor troubles, ‘is
not readily apparent, as business generally
seems to be in a satisfactory condition.
It is not improbable that already the
presidential election may be affecting the
situation. Itis a well known fact that
business conditions are usually seriously
disturbed for months previous to the time
of the election. Many business men en-
gage in politics at such times, often to the

WIE

(CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

neglect of their business. The decline in
the price of steel is taken as an indication,
by some, that lumber prices will decline
also. In support of this expectation,
wholesalers point to the fact that last year
when prices of iron and steel were ad-
vancing lumber prices steadily advanced
also in sympathy therewith. Against this
theory it is contended that lumber is
likely to benefit by the increased activity
in building operations consequent upon a
reduction in prices of iron and steel,
which now enter so largely into building
construction. The total stocks of lumber
in hand throughout the country are said
to be below the average. Ai circular,
issued by the Mississippi Valley Lumber-
men’s Association, calls attention to the
fact that about twenty-five of the large
mills on the Mississippi river and its trib-
utaries have already closed down on
account of the shortage of logs, due to the
lowering of the water in the rivers. The
circular says: “The lumber cut of the
season is already greatly reduced and can-
not be made up, even though heavy rains
may fall soon. The rivers are falling an
inch and more every day. These con-
ditions must be reckoned with sooner or
later, and are sure to exert a decided in-
fluence on the market. The shortage of
logs and lumber precludes the possibility
of lower values in 1900.”

Prices of hardwood have declined some-
what compared with last winter. The cut
is said to be heavier than last year and
the supply fully equals the demand. Red
cedar shingles have also declined some-
what in the Boston market, while prices
of New Brunswick shingles have gone up

a little.
GREAT BRITAIN.

Trade has been temporarily at a stand-
still owing to the holidays and rejoicings
consequent upon the success of the British
arms in South Africa. The market shows
no sign of weakening however, and no
change in values is looked for before the
termination of the war, when it is not im-
probable that prices of deals and battens

may advance in response to the expected:

demand from the Cape for material for the
building of barracks and many other pur-
poses. There is no present disposition
manifested by importers to anticipate
such an advance.

Considerable shipments of red pine
boards and deals have been made this
year by some Canadian manufacturers
and it is becoming more clearly evi-
dent that a large and profitable de-
mand is springing up in this market for
this class of timber, The demand was
heretofore supplied with Swedish goods,
but the supply from this quarter, particu-
larly of the larger sizes, is constantly dim-
inishing, while prices have advanced more
than 25 per cent. in consequence, and even
higher figures are likely to rule before
the close of the season. There is there-
fore an opportunity for Canada to do a
profitable trade in this class of timber.
The difficulty of securing tonnage and the
excessive freight charges is restricting im-
portations to very moderate dimensions.
A couple of cargoes of St. John spruce is
reported to have been sold at Bristol the
other day at £7 15s. c.i.f., which stand-
ard it is believed will be maintained under
present conditions. According to the
brokers’ returns the import of spruce at
Liverpool for the month of May, was only
1,520 standards, as against 11,588 stand-
ards for the same month last year.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

Mr. John Kilburn has brought down a
drive of 10,000,000 feet of logs from Que-
bec to St. John.

The rafting of the logs to the St. John,
N.B., mills is said to be progressing more
satisfactory of late.

Messrs. Toner & Gregory, of Colling-
wood, are manufacturing 8,000,000 feet of
red pine deals for export.

Common pine plank 4, 6 and 8 inches
wide, recently sold at Huntsville at $13,
10 inch at $14, and 12 inch at $15.

Some of the best selling hardwood are
reported to have dropped $2 per M. in
in price during the last three weeks.

Mr. T. G. McMullen, of Ryans Creek,
Hants county, Nova Scotia, will finish in
about a month a cut of 800,000 feet.

Owners of the mills on the line of the
Kingston and Pembroke railroad are said
to be obliged, such is the demand, to ship
lumber green.

A correspondent writes that he has
American orders for large quantities of
birch, but the prices asked by the manu-
facturers on the Georgian Bay are too
high to warrant purchasing. He would
be willlng to pay $16 for selects and $11
for lower grades, but $20 and $14 are de-
manded. He estimates that the stock of
birch in the Georgian Bay district will
reach 16,000,000 feet, and that it will not
pass out of the owners’ hands unless more
moderate prices are accepted.

THE BOSTON MARKET.

We quote the following from the Boston
Herald : The spruce lumber market has re-
ceived a setback in that the combination has
put down prices about $2 per 1,000. This
has really alarmed the trade, and resulted in
no business. The verdict is that prices ought
to have been put down early in April, and
then building would have been encouraged.
Users of spruce lumber say that to put down
prices not that building has has been almost
entirely stopped by high prices, simply
amounts to killing what litte trade there is.

BARBADOES MARKET.

Messrs. Musson, Son & Co. report: There
has been one arrival of spruce, the cargo re-
ported by us as sold at $22 toarrive. In
white pine there has been no arrivals, and
nothing further reported since the cargo con-
tracted for at $24.50 shipping, $2c seconds.
In pitch pine no further transactions ;_ there is
a cargo on the way to our consignment.
There is nothing new to report in shingles,
shooks or woodhoops.

Messrs. Clairemont, Mann & Co. report:
Both white pine and spruce are in great
demand, as our yards are very bare of both
kinds, particularly spruce, for which there is
always a good demand during our reaping
season. There has been one arrival with
spruce, sold to arrive at $22 round. We
also note the sale to arrive, of a cargo of white
pine, at $24.50 round for first quality, and $20
for second quality. No arrival with pitch
pine for some time; and it is now very much
wanted.

Shingles—Gaspe cedar, in supply, and mar-
ket dull—there is a large lot in store unsold,
principally small, for which $3.75 per M is
asked, but less would be accepted to make a
sale. No late arrivals of laying shingles.
June sth: Schr. ‘‘F. A. Rice,” from Church
Point, N.S., with 145 M feet spruce—Sold to
arrive at $22 round.

SHIPPING MATTERS.
Shipments of lumber, lath, shingles and
telegraph poles are heavy at present from
Deseronto, Ont.

Barkentine Antilla, which sailed from
Bantry the other day, goes to Yarmouth
to take in lumber for Buenos Ayres at $11,
or if Rosario $12.

The steamer Bridgewater is discharging
a large quantity of pulp at Central wharf,
Halifax, for shipment by the steamer Shel-
drake, which will be due from Brennan
next week.

The British barque Lakemba of Glasgow
and the American barque Sonoma are load-
ing a cargo of lumber at the Hastings
mill, Vancouver. The former is receiving
a general overhauling and is being repaint-
ed.

The Manchester Gaurdian says; An inter-
esting development of the Canadian timber
trade with Lancashire is the berthing of a
steamer at Halifax to load for Preston. Hith-
erto, Canadian timber has been brought to
Preston dock by sailing ships, and the announce-
ment that the steamer ‘‘Sheldrake,” of over
4,000 tons’ burden, is to receive cargo at Hali-
fax for the Ribble port, within a few days, is a
sign of progress.

erties, has recently removed his offices to 309

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS:
ONTARIO.

The situation has changed but little dur-
ing the past week. Some rain has fallen
sufficient to somewhat improve the crop
prospects, but not enough to cause any ap-
preciable rise in the logging stream:. From
some parts of Ontario the reports indicate
an abundant harvest, while in others, where
thedrought has been more severe, there

will be a light yield. The large number of

public works included in the supplemen-
tary estimates of the Dominion Govern-
ment, calling for a total expenditure of
$7,000,000, will absorb a considerable
amount of timber. Numerous railway
enterprises are projected, which will also
call for a large amount of material. In
this connection, it is proposed to add
largely to the rolling stock of the Inter-
colonial Railway, and a considerable
amount of car material will be required
for this purpose. Reports from Ottawa
state that the local supply of lumber has
proved inadequate to meet the demand
arising from the large building operations
now in progress in that city and material
is being imported from Montreal and other
points. Taking into account all phases
of the situation, including the confidence
expressed by United States manufactur-
ers that conditions there are such that no
reduction in prices of white pine will be
made during the present year, there
seems ground to hope that present prices
are not likely to vary materially, provided
that manufacturers and other holders
of stock refuse to be frightened into sac-
rificing their reasonable profits by the re-
ports of an impending drop in prices.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Evidently a difference of opinion exists
between timber and pulp manufacturers
and the Quebec government with regard
to the value of timber lands in the pro-
vince of Quebec. At the adjourned sale
of government limits, held last week, only
a comparatively small number of pur-
chases were made, notwithstanding that
there was a good attendance of prospec-
tive buyers. The latter complained that
the withdrawal values placed upon the
lands by the government were excessive.
On the other hand, the Commissioner of
Crown Lands contended that the govern-
ment valuation was a fair one, and that at
future sales values would be found to rule
still higher. The rate at which the pulp
manufacturing industry is developing in
this province seems to warrant this
Opinion.

The important announcement is made

that the legislature of Trinidad has de-
clined to grant to the United States
Government an extension of time for the
ratification of the commercial treaty be-
tween the Republic and the island. This
has given rise to an agitation in the mari-
time provinces for a commercial treaty
between Canada and the West Indies.
The island of Trinidad has a population
of a quarter of a million, and is a large
consumer of food products as well as of
lumber and manufactures of wood. The
bulk of this trade is now being done by
the United States and Germany, which
countries have studied carefully the re-
quirements of the market. Inasmuch as
Canada is in a position to purchase the
sugar and other products of the islands, it
would seem that a mutually profitable
agreement might be made.

The British market is the salvation of
the Inmber industry at present, and all
eyes are directed over the water. The
demoralization of trade has carried mill-
men and shippers who formerly directed
their attention southward to seize every
Opportunity of realizing cash from the
English market with little or no profit in
preference to lying idle with stock on
hand.

At a meeting held in St. John recently
the necessity of better shipping facilities
from New Brunswick to Great Britain
was fully discussed, and in connection
therewith what inducements might be
offered to the Elder Dempster Steamship
Co. to provide a summer service. Repre-
sentatives of the pulp industry and manu-
factures of wood stated that last year high
freights were the means of cutting their
mills out of the British market. They
now had orders offered, but hesitated to
accept them because of inadequate ship-
ping facilities. The hardship of the
situation is emphasized by the fact that
higher prices for pulp are offered in the
the British market at present than can be
obtained in the United States. Manufac-
turers of box shooks, cloth boards, laths,
staves and such like products, complaint
that unless they could make up a full
cargo they would be obliged to ship via
Halifax, Portland and Boston. A resolu-
tion was passed requesting the govern-
ment to offer inducements for an efficient
steamship service direct from St. John to
Liverpool from April 20th to November
2oth in each year.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA;

proved in consequence of plentiful showers
of rain which have fallen throughout

Manitoba. It is estimated, on good
authority, that there will be a yield of
about 15 bushels to the acre. That there
are no large stocks of lumber on hand
may be gathered from the expressed
opinion of Winnipeg lumber dealers that
had it not been for the building strike in
Chicago they would have been unable to
secure supplies of lumber from the south,
and there would accordingly have been a
shortage in certain lines in Winnipeg. A
large number of new grain elevators are
to be erected this fall, for which purpose
large quantities will be required. The
Rat Portage Lumber Company are re-
ported to have received an order from the
Ogilvie Milling Company for 2,000,000
feet of lumber for this purpose.

The manufacturers of British Columbia
who are in a position to do an export
trade are looking forward to a large
demand from China as soon as the
present difficulties in that country shall
have become settled. They believe that
the market will then be more accessible
than in the past to western commerce.
The present disturbance has so far had
no perceptible effect on lumber exports

from British Columbia. Large shipments
have recently gone forward to Tien Tsin.
Quite recently the steamer Estivold
carried 2,500,000 feet of lumber from the
Sound to China, while the Pacfic Coast
Lumber Company is said to be also
shipping largely to that country. The
important announcement is made that
Capt. L. F. McKenzie, of Vancouver, has
selected a water power site not far from
that city on which to erect a pulp mill.
This will provide an outlet for a large
quantity of spruce timber.

UNITED STATES.

At a meeting of the Lake Superior
Lumbermen’s Association, held at Ash-
land, Wis., on June 22nd, at which repre-
sentatives were present from nearly 50
manufacturing concerns with a total ca-
pacity under ordinary conditions of 900,-
000,000 feet annually, the lumber and log
situation in the white pine field was thor-
oughly discussed. This discussion show-
ed that nearly 240,000,000 feet of logs
were reported to be hung up in streams
in the Lake Superior district, and that
nearly every drive has been abandoned,
that about 30 mills have closed down for
want of logs and that the mills in the
Mississippi valley are also running short ;
that the increased cost of manufacture is
about $3 per thousand feet above that of
last year; that there is a shortage in
stock in shipping condition, an active
demand for lumber, and good crop con-
ditions. In view of these circumstances,
it was resolved that the Association should
maintain the prices made during the past
two or three months for the balance of the
season. The opinion prevails that stocks
in the hands of dealers will shortly be re-
duced to a point which will compel sort-
ing up ona considerable scale. Dealers
are said to be withholding orders as long
as possible fearing that there may be a
decline in values. The low condition of
stocks throughout the country combined
with a resumption in building operations
in Chicago and other large cities and the
probability of a considerable curtailment
in the output of the mills seems to afford
no foundation for such expectations. It
seems probable that immediately follow-
ing the midsummer vacation will come a
revival of demand which will maintain, if
it should not cause an advance, in present
prices for white pine. Prices for hemlock
have declined from $1 to $2 per thousand
as the result of lessened building oper-
ations. Spruce has also declined to about
the same extent. The disbanding of the
Eastern Lumbermen’s Association, follow-
ing the withdrawal of Messrs. Stetson,
Cutler & Company, of St. John
and one or two other prominent members,
has had a tendency to further weaken
values. Basswood is reported to be in
good demand, and prices satisfactory.

A combination of shingle manufacturers
of New Brunswick and Northern Maine
is talked of, with the object of maintaining
prices and regulating output.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The chief factor in the regulation of
prices in the British market at the present
time is the vessel supply. While the
market demand appears to be weaker
than usual, prices are firmly maintained
by reason of the high carrying charges.
The deliveries thus far have fallen far
short of the average, and there are no
indications at present that the vessel
supply will be more abundant later on in
the season. On the contrary, the advance
in insurance charges on cargoes from the
St. Lawrence will later on form an addi-
tional factor in maintaining values. Im-
porters, who were fortunate enough to
secure cargoes earlier in the season at
reduced charges, are being urged to hold
their supplies for a higher profit instead
of disposing of them at auction, as some
have done recently.

The market for spruce continues very
strong, values having advanced 1o shill-
ings since the first of the year. Quebec
thirds 3 x9, 12 feet are now bringing £8
16s. ; 3X7 and 8 inch are quoted at £8
5s. A number of transactions have re-
cently taken place at good prices in Man-
chester. The general opinion seems to
be that prices will remain unchanged
throughout the season. It is almost cer-
tain that there will be no decline, while
there may possibly be an advance. The
high price of Baltic deals is creating an
extra demand for spruce. Some uneasi-
ness has been occasioned to the trade in
London by the dockers’ strike, which it is
feared may spread to the timber docks.

———————
STOCKS AND PRICES.

A boat is due at St. John, N. B., now
which is to take 3,090,000 from Stetson’s
mill to England.

A large sale is reported at St. John as
being made at Sri, the logs of which
were bought at same figure.

A recent contract was one of Millar &
Woodman, amounting to 3,000,000, sold
to Wm. MacKay, of St. John, at $11.

Eighty-seven raftsmen, employed by
the Fredericton Boom Company, have
struck for increased wages. Their re-
quest is being considered.

The tail of the saw log drive is now in
the dead water and about 10,000 pieces
are being passed through the harbor
boom at Trenton, Ont., daily.

There is quite a stock of American logs
on hand at St. John, N.B., but they
cannot be sawn for the American market.
A number of mills are therefore cutting
for the English market.

It is expected that when the statements
are in in full Messrs. Hale & Murchie’s
cut on Tobique will amount to about [0,-
000,000, by including that of McCollum’s
end, which is in neighborhood of 2,060,-
000.

St. John market prices for shingles are
about as follows: Extras $2.90, clears
$2.40, 2nd clears $2, extra No. 1 $1.40,
No. 1 $1. Planed, butted and jointed
clapboards: Extras $30, clears $25, 2nd
clears $25, extra No. I $17, No. 1 $10.

A New Brunswick correspondent writes:
Provincial logs were selling in April and
May at $10 and $10.50. Now there are
very few provincial logs for sale. Allare
being held by millmen who require them.
There seems on the whole to be very little
manufactured lumber in stock.

Messrs. Parker, Eakins & Co., Yar-
mouth, Nova Scotia, write : “The spruce
lumber situation here is that stocks are
very light and prices much higher than in
ordinary years, say $2 to $3 higher. Our
mills (mills shipping their cut from this
port) saw South American scheduler
almost exclusively. Demand is good.”

A correspondent writes from Western
Ontario, disputes the statement made in
our review of trade conditions on June
2oth, “ That some of the hardwoods,
particularly elm and maple, are showing
signs of weakness due to a heavy pro-
duc 1on in Western Ontario.” He states

from personal knowledge that the produc-
tion is not an average of the last five
years.

Messrs. Hilyard Bros., who ran their
mill on the Tobiqve last year, say they
cannot possibly do so this season. Last
season’s cut was ata loss owing to the
exhorbitant C.P.R. freight charges which
ate far above those charged on the LG.
R. or other roads. They predict the im-
possibility of success in lumber manufac-
lure on the Tobique under prevailing
freight conditions.

St. John, N. B., advices state there
seems to have been very few sales recent-
ly, and very little shipped. There are
but two vessels in the harbor, only one of
which, the Oscar II, is loading at present
for Manchester. Two vessels went out
last week, the Consols, bound for Man-
chester, and the B. Jorvin, for Liverpool.
Seven or eight vessels are nearly due
and it is expected that from now to
the end of July there will be much ship-
ping done. The English market is con-
sidered by all to be good, though freights
are high, being about 15 shillings per
standard more than last year. The prices
in deal market are anywhere from £15 to
£15 5s, according to specification of
cargoes.

QUEBEC GOVERNMENT TIMBER SALE.

The adjourned timber sale of government
timber lands held at Quebec last week, was
attended by between 60 and 70 prominent
lumber and pulp manufacturers. The upset
prices were regarded as being too high, and
tended to restrict investments, SO that only
$135,000 was realized from the sale. The
Commissioners of Crown Lands expressed the
opinion, however, that next year the limits
would prove the more valuable.

The detailed statement of the sales is as
follows :

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

The dullness which usually character-
izes business in midsummer is beginning
to be felt. It has become the rule for
business men to briefly relax their chase
of the golden dollar during the heated
term. Heads of departments also look
for a vacation, so that for a few weeks to
come business will be conducted with les3
than usual vigor. Apart from this the
concition of business appears on the
whole to be very satisfactory. Bradstreets
reports that while trade conditions are
less buoyant than a year ago, the general
situation is regarded as fair, mills and
factories being well supplied with orders
and collections good. Business failures
number about the same as last year.
The crop prospects have considerably
improved, which has a tendency to further
strengthen the situation. Lumber manu-
facturers are manifesting their confidence
in the stability of present conditions by
holding firmly to existing prices, and we
believe they are wise in so doing. Our
Ottawa correspondent states that some
contractors are delaying building opera-
tions in the hope that prices will. decline.
He expresses the belief, however, that in-
stead of a decline an advance may be
looked for. Shantymen who have lately
returned from the woods confirm the re-
ports that alarge number of logs are
stranded inthe smaller streams of the
Kippewa and Ostoboning districts. We
do not know how well-founded is the re-
port which comes from Sault Ste. Marie
that owing to a scarcity of lumber in Ont-
ario a supply has had to be imported from
British Columbia.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,

The government of Quebec has been
appealed to on behalf of the lumber inter-
ests of the Province to aid the establish-
ment of transport facilities to Cape Colony,
where it is believed that a large and
profitable trade in lumber and timber
products might be secured. This belief
Seems to be borne out by the following
figures showing the imports of lumber and
wood products into Cape Colony during
the year 1898 :—Wood, unmanufactured,
$1,050,235 ; wood, plain or grooved, $657,-
780; wood, manufactured, other than furni-
ture, $663,305; furniture and cabinet-
ware, $1,767,400. The end of the war is
apparently yet too far distant to admit of
the hope that any business can be done
in the South African market this year,
but provision should be made to secure a
share of the trade that will be forthcoming
next spring.

The situation in New Bruswick remains
much the same as reported last week.
The favorable business conditions pre-
vailing may be guaged by the fact that
the list of failures during the last six
months has been funusually light. Apro-
pos of the mention made last week of the
movement to secure a fortnightly summer
service from St. John to Great Britain.
Messrs. Wm. Thomson & Son, managers
of the Battle line of freight steamers,
state that next year they expect to oper-
ate a fortnightly service between St. John
and Liverpool and.Manchester. An event

of considerable importance to lumber
shippers, was the strike of ship laborers
at St. John last week, and the consequent
advance of to cents per hour in wages,
which the Messrs. Thomson state means
an increase of from 70 to go cents per
standard for handling cargoes of deals.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,

The situation in British Columbia is:

clearly and comprehensively set forth by
one of the largest manufacturing com-
panies, in a letter to the CANADA LumM-
BERMAN, as follows: “Ifit were not for
one thing the lumber export trade on the
Pacific coast would be ina highly satis-
factory condition, and that one difficulty
is the lack of tonnage. Dating back as
far as the American-Spanish war, there
has been a shortage of lumber carriers on
this coast, and freight rates have there-
fore correspondingly advanced. It was
anticipated, when this war was closed,
that the vessels would come back to their
old business again, but then came in the
war in the Transvaal, taking up so many
steamers, in whose places sailers were
utilized in the trade in which they were
running previous to becoming transports
and, what is more of a local matter, the
trade with Cape Nome and the Alaska
gold fields has absorbed a large number
of the steady lumber carriers, so freight
rates have kept up, and are not only
keeping up, but appear to be steadily
advancing. The high rates of freight now
ruling have a tendency to deter foreign
purchasers from placing orders, and
although all the mills are now running to
their full capacity, there is but little new
business offering, and they are working on
orders taken previous to the advance in
freights.
' The owners of timber limits on this
coast, seeing how rapidly the limits in the
East are being used up, are beginning to
realize the value of their holdings, and
have raised the price of stumpage. This
has made a corresponding advance in the
price of logs, which affects the price of
lumber in turn. The log market on Puget
Sound and British Columbia is firm, the
supply being kept about equal to the de-
mand,

The export price of lumber is the best
that has been for years, and every indica-
tion is that there will be a further advance
in the near future. The trouble in China
has closed that market for a while.
Australia has contracted well ahead, and
from there cannot be expected much new
business until there is some drop in
freights, and the old contracts have been
filled. South Africa, after it comes
under British rule, will undoubtedly prove
a great market, but here again the high
rate of freights are working against the
Pacific coast timber.

Taking everything into consideration,
the outlook for the lumber exporters on
this coast is very fair.

UNITED STATES,

During the past week stock taking has
been in progress and there has conse-
quently been a lull in transactions. The
holiday season is also at hand and is in-
ducing quietness in the lumber trade as

{I.

(CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

n all other departments of business.
There is reported to bea slight improve-
ment in demand, however, from the East-
ern States market, which is regarded as
an indication that wholesalers have reach-
ed the point where stocking up must be
done, and also that they have ceased to
expect a dropin values. Bradstreet’s re-
ports go to show that the business of the
country is in a prosperous condition,
there being fewer failures than for many
years past. This fact coupled with the
prospect of good crops in mest parts of
the country and the resumption of build-
ing consequent upon a settlement of the
labor disputes which paralyzed oper-
ations earlier in the season, should cer-
tainly largely increase the demand and
maintain the strength ofthe market. The
consumption for the first six months of
the year is far behind that of 1899, not-
withstanding prices have not declined to
any considerable extent. It is therefore
reasonable to expect that with the strength-
ening of the demand there will be no
further decline. As a result of recent
rains many of the logging streams in the
North West have risen to an extent
sufficient to allow of the drives being
brought down to the mills, and manufac-
turing operations have recommenced.
For more than a month, however, many
of the mills have been idle, so that there
is certain to be a decrease in their output.
The demand for hardwood for the export
trade is improving, but for home con-
sumption there is but little request, al-
though it is not expected that prices will
fall much below present figures.
GREAT BRITAIN.

The consumption of timber in the
British market forthe first half of the
present year shows a deficiency, as com-
pared with the first six months of 1899, of
26,408 standards of sawn and planed
goods, and 4,713 loads of floated timber.
Notwithstanding the arrival of numerous
vessels since the date of last report the
market shows no sign of weakness. Deal
sizes, especially 11 inch, are ususually
scarce, and some merchants are obliged
to buy at second hand and high prices
from other dealers who were fortunate
enough to lay in a stock early in the sea-
son before tonnage became so difficult to
secure.

The market for spruce continues re-
markably strong, many specifications call
for 6 to 8 inch, of which the market is
at present quite bare. Unless heavy
shipments arrive late in the season there
is little reason to anticipate a drop in
values. Up to the present time the indi-
cations point to a decrease in supply as
compared with last year. At a recent
auction sale in London of North Europe
and Colonial deals there was keen com-
petition among the purchasers. Many
consumers are now taking stock for the
first six months of the year. When this
is completed the condition of demand will
become mere clear.

An auction sale of spruce and pine
deals, comprising 150 standards of the
former and 120 of the latter, forming a
shipment from St. John, N. B., was held
at Liverpool recently. The stock is said
to have been of poor quality, being hard
and knotty and irregular in thickness.
3x11 sold at £9; 3x10 at £8; and
3xgat 481s3d. 3x8 and 3x7 sold at
£7 158; 234x7 at £7 per standard. L7
6s 3d was offered and refused for 3x7
and 3 x8 red pine deals, as was also a bid
of £7 for 2x5 and 3x6scantling. Car-
goes of 1,500 to 1,750 standards New
Brunswick spruce deals, full specifications,
are selling at £7 15s c.i.f. Liverpool.
Floorings are reported to be selling well
on the London market, the favorite
dimensions being 1 inch and % inch.
There is also a good demand for 34 inch
matching. Tonnage is difficult to procure
from Canadian ports, unless vessel owners’
demands are promptly agreedto. From
the bay of Fundy 58s 9d to 60s is quoted,
and from the St. Lawrence 60s to 62s 6d,

stoke, B. C., is experiencing considerable loss
through high water. Their Revelstoke mill
will probably close down for a short time,
being unable to get logs from the Wingham
camp.

THE GLASGOW MARKET.

Messrs. Allison, Causland & Co., in their
trade circular dated June 30th, say :

‘©The market during the past quarter has
been in a sound condition, the amount of
business transacted being considerable. Im-
porters are well through their stocks. Arrivals
have been light and chiefly on contract, and
with the present high rate of freight, it is im-
probable that there will be heavy consign-
ments. On the other hand consumers still hold
heavy stocks. The present outlook is not at
all clear, as, with the high prices prevailing for
coal and all raw material, general trade is no
doubt falling away rapidly ; in fact, it is said
that not one new shipbuilding contract has
been booked in the Clyde during the past
month. As will be observed from the tables,
the stock compares very favorably with past
years.”

The condition of stocks and demand for Can-
adian timber is given as follows :

YELLOW P1iNE.— WANEY.— Prime wood,
the demand is limited, but is firmly held. 2nd
class timber has been more in request ; the
reductions in the stock is largely in this grade.
Quotations.— Prime wood, 19 to 20 inches
average, 2s 8d to 23 10d. 2nd class, 18d to 2s
2d perc. ft. SQUARE.—The stock is almost
entirely in importers’ hands. The demand is
limited, and little business has been done.

RED Prne.—Stocks are heavy, with little
enquiry. st class is quoted at 22d to 2s 2d.
F.A.Q. 17d to 19d per cubic foot.

ELtm.—The stock is exceedingly small,
Prices are very firm. Quotations—45 to 50
feet average, 3s 3d to 3s 6d per c. ft.

Oax.—The stock is considerably reduced,
but is still quite sufficient for the demand.

AsH.—The stock of Quebec wood is prac-
tically nil.

BircH— The demand has been moderate.
Several lines have changed hands at fair
figures. Quotations—18d to 21d for 14 to 16
inch average.

Ping. —Firsts—Stocks are small and prices
very firm, but sales have been rather limited.
Quotations. —Broad, £26 16s 3d to £29 IIs
3d. Undersized, 420 12s 6d to £22 13s od
per Std. Pet. St. Seconds—There is little or no
stock in importers’ hands. Quotations—Broad,
£19 18s 9d to £22 1389d. Undersized—£15
16s 3d to £17 38 od per St. Pet. Std. Thirds
—Are in moderate demand at good prices.
Regulars are quoted at £12 7s 6d to £13 Is
3d. Undersized, £9 12s 6d to £9 19s 4d per
St. Pet. Std. Fourths—Eleven inch and Under-
sized are in more request than Broad, but all
are firmly held. Quotations.—Regulars, £9
12s 6d. Undersized, £8 5s to £8 18s 9d per
St. Pet. Std.

Reps.—There is a good demand, but sales
are limited owing to the high prices asked by
sellers. Quotations—f15 2s 6dto £16 Ios
per St. Pet. Std.

Spruce.—There is still a fair stock, but
much reduced since last quarter. Prices are
good. Quotations—47 11s 3d to £9 5s 7d
per St. Pet. Std.

DrEaLs, BATTENS AND BOARDS.—There has
been a good consumption, and values remain
very steady at £7 11s 3d to £10 6s 3d per St.
Pet. Std.

BircH.—There has been practically no im-
port of logs, but planks have come on freely,
most parcels being sold ex quay. Prices how-
ever are now somewhat weaker.

SprucrE.—Any consignments meet with a
ready sale at good prices. Quotations—£7
11s 3d to £9 19s 4d per St. Pet. Std. for 2nd
quality average.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.

(Correspondence of the Canapa Lum BERMAN.)

Local lumber operations have assumed the
energy characteristic of them before the dis-
astrous fire, and shipping is becoming brisker.
J. R. Booth’s mill is working night and day,
and all available piling ground is being utilized.
Considerable lumber is being shipped to
American points by rail, but owing to a slow
movement in building operations across the
border this feature of the business is not as
brisk as it otherwise would be.

The Hull Lumber Company is cutting
steadily in three mills, and shipping to
American points by rail direct from the saw.
Gilmour & Hughson’s steam mill is turning
outa large cut, the W. C. Edwards Com-
pany is cutting night and day, and Bailey’s
mill in Aylmer is also being operated with two
shifts.

As yet no delay has been caused at the local
mills by the non arrival of logs.

Despite the fact that building operations in
the burnt districts of both Hull and Ottawa
are brisk, the local lumber market shows no
bullish tendencies. In Ottawa several con-
tractors look for an easier movement in prices,
and hence the building operations in some
quarters have been delayed. Prices will ad-

vance, as the local and outside demand is
bound to increase. Last week the first ship-
ment by water was made from the Booth mill
at the Chaudiere, the river yard having been
filled with the cut. Men are engaged putting
the large piling ground along the Quebec side
of the river in shape to receive the new cut.

Considerable lumber is being shipped to
Hull from the small mills of the Gatineau, and
building operations are much brisker in the
Quebec city than in Ottawa. The fire by-law
gives the ratepayers a year in which to make
their buildings fireproof, and the city, with the
exception of Main street, is being built up
solid, with wooden shells, to be enclosed later
in brick, ete. ;

Ottawa isto have another new and large
wood working establishment. The W. C.
Edwards Company has secured control of the
Capital Planing Mills and Ottawa Specialty
Company. The premises in the latter concern
were swept clean in the fateful fire, but the
business, manufacturing office and bank fittings,
etc., will be conducted in the large stone
grist mill on the Edwards premises at New
Edinburgh, which has been unoccupied for
some time. The rougher class of work will be
turned out in the Capital planing mill as
before, but on a larger scale. The Ottawa
Specialty Company did a large local and ex-
port business and employed 50 hands. About
150 will be employed in the new establish-
ment. Machinery to the value of $10,000 will
be installed, and about $50,000 will be
invested in the business altogether. The con-
cern is to be one of the largest of its kind in
eastern Canada.

Large numbers of river and shanty men are
returning to Ottawa from the drives. The
clerks who have been working on the Hull
Lumber Company’s limits have also returned.
They report that many logs are stranded on
the smaller streams of the Kippewa and Osto-
boning districts.

Recently Mr. J. R. Booth, the millionaire
millowner of Ottawa, advanced the wages of
his men, having in mind the losses they sus-
tained in the recent fire.

Building operations on the E, B, Eddy
Company’s establishments are well advanced.
The machine shop is completed, and work on
the woodworking establishment and match
factory is being pushed ahead. The paper
mills are being rebuilt on a larger scale than
before, ahd the foundations for the immense
paper mills are being laid. The saw mill will
also be built on a larger scale than before, and
on the same site.
secured by the E. RB. Eddy Company, and the
wood-working and paper-making branches
promise a larger output than before the fire.
Considerable delay was experienced in re-
moving the large amount of machinery and
debris. Fully 500 men are now engaged about
the works,

The Ottawa city council at its last meeting
adopted the fire by-law thrown out ata _pre-
vious meeting. The clauses of the by-law limit
the piling of lumber in residential areas to 500-
000 ft. and a distance of at least 10 ft. must be
allowed for in the proximity of streets and build-
ings. Inthe more thickly populated parts this
distance is increased to 60 feet. The by-law

also provides that buildings must be made fire-
proof, and roofs covered with fire-proof shingles
or other materials.

From advices received by Ottawa firms from
their American agents, it would seem that there
is a deadlock between the manufacturers and
wholesale dealers and the retail dealers in
building materials at American points. As a
result business is slack, thus affecting the ship-
ments and the local business in export lines.

OTTAWA, July 9, 1900.

SHIPPING MATTERS.

The bark Launberga, 1,218 tons, arrived at
Yarmouth to load lumber for South America,
on April 17th, and did not get away until the
30th of June. The custom of the port only
being 20 M. per working day, actually gave
this vessel 55 lay days. The facilities for
loading at Yarmouth are far behind the age,
which makes it a very undesirable place for
large vessels.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

The number of transactions in white
pine lumber during the past week has
shown a slight increase, which is re-
garded by some as an indication that
retailers and consumers are becoming
convinced that lumber prices will not
weaken in any marked degree in the near
future. The conditions seem to favor the
Canadian manufacturer of white pine,
who, while experiencing a considerable
local demand, is also receiving numerous
inguiries for stock from the Eastern
S‘ates. Some of these inquiries are due
to the position taken by the manufac-
turers in the Pine-produving districts of
the United States, who have held their
stock at what the eastern dealers consider
an exorbitant price, and one not. war-
ranted by the demand. Generally, our
manufacturers have few complaints of
dull trade to make, as a brisk movement
of stock is not expected at this season of
the year. Recent heavy rains have
swollen the streams in the Georgian
Bay district, and most of the logs
are getting along Satisiactorily, One
Georgian Bay concern, however, re-
ports that a large proportion of their logs
will not reach the mill till September, so
that the lumber cut from these can
scarcely be marketed this year. It is
estimated that 160,000,000 feet of logs
will come out of the Spanish river,

The tendency is towards lower prices

for lath. The scarcity of this material has

been relieved, and the demand at the

present time is not large.

Hardwood lumber is moving only
moderately. Consumers are pursuing a
hand to mouth policy in respect to pur-
chases, apparently believing that the
dearth of hardwood limber which char-
acterized the trade of last year will not be
experienced again this season. Notwith-
standing the somewhat backward de-
mand, manufacturers have been offering
little inducement to buyers in the way ota
reduction in price, and their action in this
respect has greatly assisted in maintaining
the strength of the market.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The slight advance in the price of
Quebec square timber seems to be justi-
fied by the receipts of timber at Quebec.
The statement of the Supervisor of Cullers
shows that up to July r4ththe quantity
of waney pine, white pine, red pine, and
oak timber received at the port was less
than in the corresponding period last
year, while of elm, ash and birch there
was a slight increase. The difficulty of
securing tonnage, however, may have
some effect upon the market. Only a
moderate trade in lumber is doing in the
eastern prcvinces. Export trade 1s satis-
factory, but the demand from the United
States has fallen off since the ist of July.
Notwithstanding, manufacturers and
dealers look forward to a busy fall, al-
though there is some uncertainty as to
prices. Shingles are in steady demand.
New Brunswick cedars have shown but a
slight decline in price, and seem to have
secured a strong hold in the New England
market. On Boston rate of freight quo-
tations are as follows: Extra, $3.10 to
$3.25 ; clear, $2.65 to $2.85 ; second
clear, $2.10 to $2.35 ; extra No. 1, $1.85,

UNITED STATES.

An increase in the number of enquiries
for stock is about the only change in the
lumber situation of the United States.
Recent rains in Dakota and Minnesota
have improved the crop outlook, and this
has given retailers courage to buy lumber.
Those who have been running along with
light stocks are now more disposed to re-
plenish their supply, but the uncertainty
as to prices has had a deterrent effect,
Several of the lumber associations, how-
ever, are holding meetings this week to
establish a basis of prices for fall trade,
and when this has been done a consider-
able movement of stock is confidently
looked for. The indications are that
building operations during the balance of

{I.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

the season will be on a more extensive
scale, as the prices of building materials
generally are now somewhit lower than
in the spring. A report from Minneapolis
states that the demand for white pine
lumber 1s more active than it has been for
a month past, and that the farmers in the
vicinity are undertaking improvements
which were temporarily abandoned. In
Chicago the most active demand per-
tains to common inch lumber. Twelve
inch No. 1 boards, in lengths from 12 to
16 feet, are selling at $20 wholesale, and
shorter lengths at $19. The reports from
Boston tell of a slow movement of spruce,
but notwithstanding this fact prices are be-
ing maintained. In the New York market
narrow strips are selling at $16 to $18 and
wider widths at $17 to $19. The feature
of the hardwood trade is the continued
buying in a small way by consumers, who
seem to prefer to take the chances of
getting stock as required. Oak, elm and
basswood are selling moderately at Buffa-.
lo, but in Wisconsin it is reported that
there is very little demand for hardwoods
with the exception of basswood. Maple
flooring is showing great strength, al-
though the effect of the large production
of maple logs last winter has had some
effect on the price of maple lumber and
planks.

There is very little demand for lath, and
the price 1s gradually declining from the
high figures at which it was sold last
winter. At Bay City and Michigan cur-
rent quotations are $3 and $3.50, against
$4 and $4.50a few months ago. The yard
price at Chicago for No.1 white pine
lath is $3.75, while No. 1 mixed sells at
$3.25 and No. 2 mixed at $3.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The tendency of the British lumber
market is towards further strength. The
high freight rates are a strong factor in
the market, as they are likely to result in
reducing the quantity of stock imported.
The complications in China will doubtless
be responsible for the building of several
new vessels, in the construction of which
a considerable amount of lumber will be
used. It seems reasonable, therefore, to
expect a liberal demand for lumber
during the next few months. Pine and
spruce deals are now arriving in consider-
able quantities, but the bulk of the stock
has been contracted for previous to its
arrival. At Glasgow there are numerous
enquiries for spruce, particularly in sizes
of to inches and up. First quality pine
deals have been sold in that market at
£28 17s 6d,and boards at £32, while
third quality deais have brought £12 I5s.
At Liverpool waney board pine is going
freely into consumption. Quebec elm
bas also been in good demand, and prac-
tically every log that has arrived has
gone into consumption direct from the
quays. The import of birch has moder-
ated, and alihough the consumption has
been good, prices are slightly weaker.

SHIPPING MATTERS.

The str. Manchester Shipper has been
chartered by Geo. McKean to take a cargo of
deals from West Bay, N.S., to Manchester, at
52s 6d.

The str. Pocohontas is loading deals at St.
John, N.B., for the U.K. The barque Inver-
lochy has been fixed to load deals at same
port for Melbourne, Australia, at 75s.

The news has been received of the destruc-
tion by fire of the Canadian Yukon Lumber
Company’s mill at Selkirk, in the Yukon
district.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
The str. Janeta sailed last week from
St. John, N. B., for Glasgow, with a cargo
of deals.

The str. Labuan is loading acargo of
three and one-half million feet of lumber
at West Bay, N. S., for the. U. K.

Haley & Son, of St. Stephen, N. B.,
have recently shipped several car loads

2 and better.

The steamship Nitocris took on a full
cargo of timber and deals at Indian Cove,
Quebec, and sailed for Dublin, Ireland,

The Michigan Hemlock Association 1s
reported to have reduced the price of
hemlock one dollar a thousand, making
the quotation $9.

The Saginaw Lumber and Salt Com-
pany, Saginaw, Mich., are reported to
have sold their entire production of pine
lath at $3 and $3.50.

At Buffalo quotations are $8 to $8.50
for first class dry elm flour-barrel staves,
6 te 6% cents for first class dry basswood
heading, and $9 to $9.50 for 6-foot coiled
hoops.

B. J. Gilligan has 9,000,000 feet of pine
logs almost out of the Plantoin Creek,
which empties into the Mattawa river.
The logs were taken out for the Hull
Lumber Company, of Hull.

A report from Marinette, Wis., states
that one firm there sold 500,000 feet of
elm lumber early in the spring to New
York parties at $20 per thousand, while
they are now selling similar stock at S15.

It is reported that the Skillings, Whit-
ney & Barnes Lumber Co. have purchased
the entire cut of the Longford Lumber
Co., and that the output of Messrs. Mc-
Pherson & Co., of Longford Mills, has
been bought by the Laidlaw Lumber Go.

Following is a comparative statement
of timber measured and culled at Quebec
up to 14th July, as reported by the Super-
visor of Cullers :

box at $16, and Norway dimension at $14
and $16. Mill culls are worth $12 and
$14, and choice lots would probably com-
mand a higher figure. White pine
shingles are held at $3.15 and clear buts
at $3.15. Cedar shingles are worth about
one doliar less than white pine. For
hardwood lumber, log run, the quotations
are: Ash, $18; red oak, $20 to $24;

ET

; CONDITIONS AT LIVERPOOL.

Alfred Dobell & Co.’s timber market report
says of the Liverpool market for Canadian
stock :

Waney BoArD PINE is going freely into
consumption at full prices. Shippers are now
demanding higher figures.

Square PINE is not in great demand but
values remain steady.

Oak :—The arrivals have been small, prices
are firm.

ELM :—A couple of parcels have arrived
which were readily absorbed at full prices. A
steamer with a large parcel is reported lost
which will tend still further to stiffen the
market.

Brrcu : Logs have arrived in modern quan-
tities; quotations are unchanged. Planks have
arrived freely. Although there has been a
very large consumption, prices are weaker.

PINE DEALS AND Boarps :—The arrivals
have been much smaller than usual and prices
are very firm.

New BRUNSWIGK AND Nova SCOTIA
SPRUCE DEALS :—There have been free arriv-
als. The consumption has been good and
prices are fairly steady. By auction a parcel

SS a

from St. John has been sold at an average of
47 18s per std.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.

ONTARIO.

In the lumber trade the month of July
has been the quietest month in the year
so far as new business 1s concerned. Most
of the white pine mills are busy on orders
placed in the winter and early spring, and
consequently there is very little complaint
of dull trade from this quarter. Dealers,
however, report a falling off in orders,
while enquiries are less numerous than
for some time past. Consumers have re-
frained from making purchases, excepting
for immediate requirements, and as most
of the large furniture and implement
manufacturers had considerable stocks on
hand in the spring, their purchases have
not been of large volume. Nor have te-
tailers commenced to replenish their
stocks for the fall trade. The enquiries
for hardwood lumber, while not numerous,
give some encouragement to holders of
stock, and the most common opinion is
that there will be a revival in demand
during the month of August.

From the Ottawa valley comes the re-
port that a syndicate is being formed to
regulate the market, and to prevent an
oversupply of lumber. If harmoniously
effected, this step should result in improv-
ing the position of the lumber trade. fj

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,

The Quebec timber trade remains un-
changed, with the exception of waney pine
of 18 inch average, which is quoted one
cent lower. The trade situation is not
altogether satisfactory, as shippers are ex-
periencing much difficulty in securing
tonnage for shipments, and local trade is
not all that might be desired. In July of
last year the freight rate on deals from
Montreal to west coast of England was 45
shillings, while this year 60 shilllngs are
being paid. From St. John there has
been a corresponding advance. Ship-
ments to trans-Atlantic ports from the
eastern provinces will, itis believed, show
a considerable falling off this year. The
price of spruce deals has naturally de-
clined. A correspondent writes from St.
John that first class deals are selling at -
$15 which in February last would have
brought $22. The demand from the
United States is also rather dull, with
very little going forward. In the Boston
market laths are firmer at $3 for 156 inch
and $2.85 for 1% inch. Cedar shingles
are selling at $3 for extra, $2.75 for clear,
and $2.10 for second clear.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The lumber merchants in Manitoba and
the Territories speak less hopefully of the
outlook for trade than they did earlier in
season. The crops promise less than the
usual yield, and this has resulted in the
postponement of projecte2 building oper-
ations. Consequently, the demand for
lumber is quiet. It is believed, however,
that the crops may turn out better than is
expected at the present time, and that
next month will witness a more active
movement of Jumber. In British Columbia
the trade is in a different position. The
export mills have sufficient orders ahead
to keep them busy for the remainder of
the season, while the local requirement
has shown no falling off. Every logging
camp is being worked to its full capacity,
although some difficulty hase been exper-
ienced in securing men to work in the
woods.

UNITED STATES.

In the face of a quiet trade the lumber
merchants of the United States are
putting forth a strong effort to maintain’
prices. A conference of the price list
committee of the Wisconsin Valley and
the Mississippi Valley Lumbermen’s As-
sociations was held at Minneapolis on July
18th, at which it was decided to make no
changes at present in the price list. It
was shown that the stocks of white pine
were materially reduced as compared

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

with a year ago, and that the high prices
which prevailed last spring were war-
ranted by existing conditions, one of
which is that there is no certainty of a
steady log supply for the balance of the
season. Notwithstanding the action at
this meeting, the market, in the Eastern
States at least, seems slightly weaker. At
Buffalo prices are not as uniform as they
were some time ago, although we have
not considered it advisable to make any
changes in our quotations this week.
Our Albany list, however, shows a decline
of about one dollar per thousand feet in
moulding and shelving boards, shippers,
box and barn boards, and twelve inch
dressing and better. Pine and spruce
lath have also been marked down to $2.
Whether there will be any further decline
is a matter of conjecture, but there seems
to be reason to believe that the fall trade
will shortly present itself. At present a
better enquiry is reported, and statements
are frequent that retail stocks are very
low. There is also a prospect of in-
creased building in the east.

New York reports a better demand for
spruce, but prices are. still weak and
buyers are not disposed to question
values as they did previous to the decline.

A moderate volume of business is doing
in hardwoods. Prices are steady, al-
though in some cases mill men are said
to be making concessions in order to
move stocks which have been slow sale.
Maple is strong in comparison with other
woods. Elm, ash and basswood are not
selling in large quantities, consumers
apparently pursuing a hand to mouth
policy.

A slight improvement is reported in
the hemlock trade, as prices are fully $2
per thousand lower than they were a few
months ago. In New York city the base
price is about $16 and at Buffalo $14.
Hemlock shingles are offering in Buffalo
at $2.25.

GREAT BRITAIN.

There has been little change in the
position of the British wood market, and
nothing calling for special mention, Per-
haps the most interest pertains to freights,
which are exceptionally high, and promises
to limit the import of wood goods and
keep the market firm. The scarcity of
steamers is almost alarming,and some are
even predicting that it will bring about
much higher prices. But there is still
dullness in certain channels of consump-
tion, so that the inability to charter
vessels is not felt as keenly as it otherwise
would be. The receipts of spruce from
the St. Lawrence have nearly all passed
into the hands of consumers, and it is
almost impossible to buy spruce in the
docks. At Liverpool some birch timber
was recently sold at prices ranging from
17 44d to 30d,the average price being 20/4d
for 15 inch. Waney pine is reported to
bo dull.

ENQUIRIES FOR WOOD PRODUCTS.

The following were among the enquiries
relating to Canadian trade recently re-
ceived at the office ofthe High Com-
missioner for Canada in London, Eng.:

A report from Kingston, dated July 21,
states that two large rafcs of timber be-
longing to the Calvin Company, of King-
ston, were stranded on the rocks at the
Cedars. It had been decided to cut loose

Sch. Laconia cleared for Connah’s Quay
on the 13th with 515,224 feet deals and
49,748 feet ends and scantling, shipped

The Hanbury Manufacturing Com-
pany, of Bandon, Man., succeeded in
getting down their logs early in the season,
the cut amounting to 8,000,000 feet. The
company have been running their mill
day and night this season, turning out
large quantities cf spruce of fine quality,
tamarac, etc. They are now starting a
gang of men to improve the Shell river
and prepare generally for next season’s
work, when they expect to take out be-
tween nine and ten million feet of logs.

THE LUMBER TRADE AT CHICAGO.

The position of the lumber market at
Chicago is thus set forth by the American
Lumberman:

“The demand from manufacturing sources
such as the box factories, car factories and like
institutions, is keeping along about on an even
keel, though smaller in volume than it was at
this time a year ago. The box factory de-
mand, however, is expected to pick up in the
near future, as the busy season for the box
factories is just approaching. There is a some-
what better supply of No. 4 boards, but No, 2°
and No. 3 grades in inch are still scarce, and
therefore it is hardly probable that there will
bea decline in prices for white pine inch
unless the box factories shall substitute other
lumber to a large extent for white pine. Ina
general way it may be said that prices on
white pine in this market have declined from
50 cents to $1 a thousand since the first of the
year. The greatest decline is on piece stuff,
which was selling six months ago at $15.50
and $16 out of the yards. The basis price for
short piece stuff is now $15.

‘“*Receipts by lake and rail during the first
three months this year ran ahead of the corres-
ponding period in 1899, but for two months
past receipts have been falling off. particularly
by water. Most of the stock that is now
arriving by Jake is lumber that was purchased
last fall or winter. Dealers here are buying
very little at present, claiming that prices at
the mills are higher than they can afford to
pay. Some stock is arriving by cargo from
Lake Michigan points and is placed on the
market here, but most of this is hemlock
piece stuffand shingles. Hemlock piece stuff

is selling at prices ranging from $9.50 to $10
for short. A few cargoes of pine piece stuff
have arrived from Manistee, Muskegon and
Menominee, selling at prices ranging from
$12.50 to $13 for short. These sales are not
numerous enough, however, to establish a
market, and it is said most of the tallies have
been poor ones. Practically no Lake Super-
ior stock has been offered on the market here,
except possibly a few holdsful of stock which
has been shipped with deckloads of white pine
timber. The latter isin fair demand and at
prices approximating the figures at which such
stock was sold last fall. Prices on shingles are
from 15 to 20centsa thousand lower than
they were at the close of navigation last year.
Offerings on lath are freely made by the cargo,
but most of this stock is mixed or No. 2. No.
1 dry white pine lath are not in liberal supply,
though prices for this grade are considerably
lower than they were last fall.”

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Taking the province as a whole, trade
in lumber is very quiet, but in some
sections, notably Ottawa, a brisk local
business is doing. The movement of
stock from the mills is quite active, but
most of this was sold early in the spring
to be shipped out during the summer
months. The situation im the Georgian
Bay and Ottawa valley districts seems to
be improving, and manufacturers are
showing a strong disposition to maintain
prices. It cannot justly be said that there
has been any appreciable decline, as is
evidenced by the sale of a large quantity
of pine mill culls at $10 at the mill. Our
Ottawa valley correspondent reports that
the tendency is towards higher prices for
lumber, and that the price of lath has
advanced fifty cents per thousand.

Visitors to the Georgian Bay district
confirm the reports that a large percentage
of the logs taken out last winter are hung
up, with little prospect of getting them out
for this season’s sawing, but it is expected
that in the Ottawa valley nearly all the
logs will reach the mills.

Hardwood dealers tell of a satisfactory
volume of trade during the month of July,
but with a small margin of profit. Manu-
facturers have been holding stock at firm
prices, and the dealer in order to effect a
sale has sometimes divided his profit with
the buyer. Consumers are purchasing
very meagrely, but they may be expected
to buy more liberally in the near future,
as there seems little hope of being able to
purchase hardwocd lumber this season
at prices much lower than those ruling at
the present time.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The midsummer dullness in the lumber
market has presented itself in a somewhat
pronounced form. There are no ship-
ments of any consequence being made to
the United States market, and local trade
is by no means active. Prices for spruce
deals are weaker, although it cannot be
said that there is any great quantity of
dry stock unsold. The proposed harbor
improvements at Montreal, which are to
be commenced this month, will require
considerable timber.

Export trade has been seriously handi-

“obliged to close down.

capped by high freight rates. The with-
drawal of steamers for transport service
to China has caused a further advance in
rates, and although tempting offers are
made, few charters are being effected.
The labor difficulty at St. John has been
settled, the men returning to work last
week.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The movement of grain by the farmers
in Manitoba and the Territories is as yet
light. Until after the grain is marketed
trade in lumber on country account
wiJl be unimportant, but this is being
offset in a measure by a good demand in
Winnipeg and the larger towns. Prices
are steady and no reports of cutting are
heard of. In British Coiumbia the mills
are working to their full capacity. The
loggers are taking steps to keep up the
price of logs, and to protect themselves
the manufarturers will be compelled to
sell their lumber at present prices, if not
slightly higher. The export mills have
sufficient orders to tax their capacity for
the season to its utmost.

UNITED STATES,

The actual trade in white pine lumber
1s very light, and the situation in respect
to prices is difficult of solution. From
some quarters it is reported that sales are
being made at figures ranging from 50
cents to $1.50 below the list, while on the
other hand, the largest manufacturers are
understood to be holding firmly to list
prices. The log supply seems to have
had quite an effect in maintaining the
strength of the market. It is feared that
some of the mills w:ll not be able to get
a full supply of logs for their season’s
operations, and this, of course, will reduce
the output of lumber for the season. The
movement of lumber has been so back-
ward that some of the manufacturers
find their piling capacity taxed to its
utmost, and unless the stock can be
moved in the near future, they may be
Eastern buyers
have shown a little more disposition to
contract for stock at upper lake points, as
the freight rate from Duluth to Buffalo
has been reduced to $2.25, as compared
with $4.50 in the fall of last year. But
in the absence of a brisk demand
from retailers and consumers in the east,
the buying by wholesalers has not been
heavy. High grade stock is little asked
for, box lumber seeming to be in most
urgent demand. At Saginaw white pine
is held at $16 and up for log run, $15 and
$16 for box lumber, $14 te $17 for Norway,
and $14 and $14.50 for mill culls.

In hardwood circles a slightly improved
trade is reported, bat the volume of busi-
ness for the month of July was small.
Prices are about nominal. A firm of
hardwood dealers in Buffalo, writing to
the CANADA LUMBERMAN, states that
there does not seem to be any price list
at the present time. Each firm appears
to be governed by conditions which exist
in its particular case, and that if prices
were reduced even $5 per thousand, the
volume of trade could not be materially
increased. White ash seems to be in
short supply, and as it 1s expected that

furniture factories will shortly go into the
market to buy, prices of this stock are
likely to keep up. Owing to high water
the usual supply ofash and oak from the
southwest is not forthcoming.

The demand for spruce is better than it
has been, and dealers are looking forward
to a good fall trade in anticipation of in-
creased building operations. Quotations
at New York range from $18.50 to $20.
Hemlock is lower in price, the minimum
figures being $13 at Buffalo and $15 at
Philadelphia and New York city.

FOREIGN.

Prices for lumber are firmer in the
British market than they were at last
report, due to the difficulty in making
vessel charters. It is believed that if the
freight situation is not relieved before the
autumn, prices heretofore unheard of will
rule. The prospect at the present time
is that the import of wood goods into the
United Kingdom this .season will be
exceptionally light. There was an aver-
age quantity of spruce received at London
in the month of July, but it had no unfav-
orable influence on prices. Third quality
regulars are still quoted at £9 c. i. f., but
“the bulk of shipments which arrived were
sold in advance. Concerning the arrival
of a cargo of Canadian deals, etc., the
Timber Trades Journal says: ‘The pine
deals are principally of broad dimensions
and of first quality, and as the stock of
this discription is probably the lowest on
record, there 1s every likelihood of these
parcels being disposed of ex ship. From
the dressed pine boards landed a fair
amount of deliveries from ship’s side are
being made. Broad whitewood boards
have been imported only to a limited
extent of late, and, being in demand, the
one or two parcels ex this liner should
find purchasers ex quay.”

Unfortunately the disturbances in China
have closed, temporarily at least, a prom-
ising market for the lumber of British
Columbia. During the early part of
this year large shipments were made to
China, and Canadian lumbermen were
looking forward to a growing demand
from that quarter. But when that country
is again opened to development an export
trade of great magnitude may be expected.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
Last week the amount of lumber re-
ceived at Buffalo by lake was 4,245,000
feet.

The str. Ramleh is loading deals at
Sillery Cove, Quebec, for Dobell,
Beckett & Company.

White pine shingles are quoted at Sagi-
naw at $4.15 and $315, and cedar shingles
at $3 and $2 respectively.

The Nelson Saw & Planing Mills, of
Nelson, B. C., have just received a boom
of logs containing 600,000 feet.

The Rathbun Company’s ‘saw mill at
Tweed, Ont., closed last week, after cut-
ting 240,000 feet of lumber, 47,000 railway
ties, and 700 cords of slab wood.

The str. Ailsa Craig sailed from Halifax
on July 24th for Liverpool, with 1,554
standards of deals, .alued at $32,700,
Chas. J. Wil'is & Company, of Sackville,
N. B., were the shippers.

Last week at Duluth, Minn., Saundry

No. 3, 6 inches and wider, $14.50; 1%
in. box, $15 ; No. 5, $10.

The Saginaw Lumber & Salt Company
last week received at Saginaw, Mich., a
raft of 3,000,000 feet of loys from the
Georgian Bay. This company is taking
over 30,000,000 feet. The Charltons
have also sent over a couple of rafts.

Tke steamship Feronca is loading deals
at West Bay, N. S., for the United King-
dom. The str. Labuan cleared from
Parrsboro, N. S., on July 25th, for Man-
chester, with 3,452,507 feet of deals,
scantling and boards, shipped by M. L.
Tucker for W. M. Mackay.

A correspondent writes from Alpena to
the American Lumberman as follows:
The condition of the Alpena market and
the movement of lumber bears no com-

parison to the conditions of one year ago.
It is estimated that there is now on the
mill docks from 25,000,000 to 30,000,000
feet of lumber, and one mill has shut
down because the firm has no more piling
room available. Another concern has
7,000,000 feet on the mill dock and will
have to shut down the mill unless ship-
ments increase.

Following is a comparative statement
of timber measured and culled at Quebec
up to 3Ist July, as reported by the Super-
visor of Cullers :

An estimate has been made of the
probable output of the large Ottawa val-
ley saw mills for the season of 1900, the
total production being placed at 500,000-
ooo feet. J. R. Booth will hkely reach
the eighty million mark. The Hull Lum-
ter Company, who are running the old
Bronsen mill, will cut about 25,000,000
feet; W. C. Edwards, Ottawa, 30,000,-
ooo feet; Rockland Mills, sixty to

seventy millions ; McLaurin & McLaren, .

25,000,000; McLaren, of Buckingham,
30,000,000 ; Gilmour’s Hull mills, 40,000-
ooo, and mills at Braeside, Arnprior and
Pembroke, 100,000,000,

Mr. R. H. Roys recently returned to
Saginaw, Mich., from the Georgian Bay
district, and states that fully 35 per cent.
of the logs put into the streams last win-
ter are hung up. Owing to this cause
many mills started sawing late and a
number of new mills which were built
during the winter did not start early.
He says the feeling 1s very strong as re-
gards prices, and reports the sale of 2-
500,000 feet of mill culls to go to Ohio at
$10. When the freight and $2 duty is
added it brings the price up to about $14,
which is a high figure for mill culls. Ac-
cording to Mr. Roys, there is no accumu-
lation of lumber, and it is not expected
there will be much congestion in this re-
gard.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the Canapa LUMBERMAN.)

The local market furnishes the chief feature
of interest at present. While export trade
with the United States is only moderate, and
that with Great Britain little better, the extensive
building operations in Hull and Ottawa conse-
quent on the fire has created a brisk demand
for all lines of building lumber. Prices, with
the exception of lath, have not advanced, how-
ever, in the past fortnight. The figures show
an advance of 20 per cent. over those ruling
the same time last year. Lath have advanced
50 cents all round, the better class selling from
$3.50 to $3.75, and second grade $2. 50 to $3.00.

The local mills are all running full time,and
planing factories, sash factories, etc., are rushed
with orders. Prices which were high before
the fire, took a jump shortly afterwards, and
have retained their position with prospects of
another slight move upwards.

Aithough the yards are again piling high
with lumber for export trade, the shortage
caused by the fire will be felt for many months
to come. Lumber is being shipped in quanti-
ties by rail direct from the saw, and consider-
able shipping is also being done by water in
the green. The increased total demand has
had its effect, depleting the supply otherwise
destined to reach the foreign market.

It has been rumored on the street that
Ottawa lumber magnates were to come to an
understanding and by concerted action protect
themselves against the vagaries of the market.
The proposed deal in short meant the for-
mation of a company to regulate the output of
the local mil's, and thus guard against an over-
stocking of the market and’ a possible decline
in prices. No definite action has been taken
in the matter, and though prominent lumber
men state such steps may not be taken for
some time, the impression prevails that for
mutual protection they will ultimately have to
arrive at an understanding as to the placing of
stock on the market.

The first and probably the only raft of square
timber to come down the Ottawa this season
was piloted through the Chaudiere slides last
week. The raft was formed on the Coulonge,
having been cut off Gillies Bros,’ limits. It
consisted of thirty-two cribs of timber, con-

=
AUGUST I, 1g00_

taining in all 40,000 cubic feet. To cover the
distance to the destination, Quebec, the raft
was floated a fortnight. Only ten years ago
bétween fifteen and twenty such rafts were
floated down to tide water, containing at
least 1,500,000 cubic feet of timber.

This year considerable square timber was
shipped from the Upper Ottawa country by
rail. Amongst others interested in the ship-
ments were William Mackie, George Gordon,
Allan Francis, Booth & Shannon, and Gillies
Bros.

Gillies Bros’. mill at Braeside, near Ottawa,
is working full time at present, with prospects
of a seasons’s output of 35,000,000 feet. The
operations on the limits this coming season
will be conducted on a large scale, though not
as extensive as last season.

Reports from the various log drives show
that but few of the firms centering on the
Ottawa and Gatineau have logs ‘‘tied up.”
The last logs have just been moved out of the
Dumoine for J. R. Booth and E. B. Eddy &
Co. None of the mills have as yet experienced
slack time on account of a scarcity of logs.

The Ottawa Lumber Co.’s limits on the
Rouge promise to be the scene of extensive
operations again next season. Large quanti-
ties of spruce taken out last season are being
cut at the mill.

Indications point to another season of all
round activity on the limits, and the men will
at no distant date be returning to their work.
The wages are likely to remain as high as last
season owing to the demand for labor.

The W. C. Edwards & Co. have taken
charge of the Capital Milling Co.’s plant and
premises, both of which are undergoing a
thorough overhauling. New machinery will
be installed and increased facilities provided for
the turning out of the heavier planing work.
The finer branches office furnishings, etc.,
will be similarly treated in their Edinburgh
headquarters.

Recently an employee in Davidson & Thack-

Messrs. Cowan & Co., of Galt, have, ow-
ing to the increase of business in the province
of Quebec, opened a wareroom at 302 and 304
St. James street, Montreal, which 1s under |
the management of W. H. Fisher.

K. Ctibor, who has been in Weymouth, N.
S., for two years past acting as Nova Scotian
buyer for F. Ctibor, Buenes Ayres, S. A.,
manufacturer of native woods and importers,
left for New York a few days ago on his way
to Europe for a few months on a business trip.
Mr. Ctibor, whose advertisement appears in
this issue, is asking for quotations on native
woods of various kinds. He has been a heavy
buyer of spruce hitherto in Nova Scotia.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

What improvement has taken place in
the lumber trade of the past week has
been along the line of more enquiries.
Generally speaking, the movement of
lumber is slow and below what was anti-
cipated earlier in the season. From the
Ottawa valley there has been, during the
past two weeks, a slightly larger movement
of deals to Europe, but shippers are still
meeting with difficulty in securing vessel
space for their stock. A large volume of
building 1s in progress in the Ottawa
vicinity, which is calling for all the low
grade lumber which can be produced
locally. Buying forthe United States
market has been backward, but there are
indications of improvement in the near
future. Stocks in hands of retailers are
exceedingly low, and some good buying
must necessarily take place for the fall
trade.

The situation in hardwoods is not as
strong as it has been. Stocks in several
localities are considerably larger than a
year ago. While prices are slightly easier,
a sharp decline has been prevented by
the action of the manufacturers, who are
still maintaiming prices in the hope that
the demand will improve when the holi-
day season 1s over. Buyers have confined
their purchases chiefly to the production
of small mill owners whe have been
anxious to realize and were willing to con-
cede something in order to effect a sale.
The prices of hemlock lumber have been
well maintained.

The statement was made last week,
based on information from our Ottawa
valley correspondent, that lath prices had
advanced 50 cents per thousand. This
was an error, and was intended to have
read that lath prices had declined 50
cents. No. 1 white pine are now quoted
in the Ottawa valley district at $2.50 to
$2.75, and No. 2 at $1.50 to $2.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Our Quebec price list this week shows
an advance in the price of square and
waney white pine timber. Square pine,
40 to 45 in. average, is now quoted at
from 40 to 47 cents per cubic foot, and
first class Ottawa waney, I9 to 21 in.
average, from 45 to 51 cents. The ad-
vance in the price of square pine is no
doubt due in part to the gradually de.
creasing quantity of timber which is
being taken out each year. The Jumber
situation in the eastern provinces shows
no material change. Although there has
been some improvement in the demand,

it cannot be said that trade is what it
ought to be. Shipments to the United
States are a little mere active, and some
believe that the stagnation of the past
month has been broken. None, however,
expect more than a moderate demand
from the United States this year, owing
to the business disturbances consequent
upon the Presidential election. Lath
prices have declined. A large supply has
resulted, it is said, in bringing down the

price of lath at St. John to 75 cents per
thousand. Cedar shingles, although dull,
are selling at $2.85 to $2.90 for extra
clear, and $2.50 to $2.55 for clear on
Boston rate of freight.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,

Wholesale lumber dealers in Manitoba
and British Columbia report a fair trade.
In Winnipeg some cutting in prices is
reported, but the trade hope to be able to
maintain the list figures. A report from
Victoria, B.C., states that on account of
the increase in the price of logs the
dealers there have advanced the price of
lumber to $9 a thousand.

UNITED STATES,

The downward tendency in the lumber
trade seems tohave been checked, and
indications point to a revival of demand in
the immediate future and a moderate fall
trade. At the upper lakes a more general
enquiry is reported, although few actual
transactions have taken place. Eastern
buyers have visited producing points, but
the purchases made amount only to a
moderate figure. At Buffalo there is said
to be a scarcity in certain low grade stock.

Hardwoods are selling lower, our Luf-
falo lists this week showing a reduction of
one dollar all round as compared with the
last one. At Boston stocks are reported
low, with dealers buying from hand to
mouth, For shingles the nominal price
at Buffalo is $4 for best 18 inch white
pine.

GREAT BRITAIN,

The scarcity of tonnage is now the
feature around which theinterest of the tim-
ber trade iscentred. Importers who have
purchased wood goods fear that they may
not be able to secure sufficient space for
their stock, and are making an almost
desperate effort to effect charters. They
believe that freights will go higher during
the autump. These conditions have
naturally caused the timber markets to
strengthen. The tendency is decidedly up-
wards, and nearly all the receipts of pine
and spruce deals are going direct into
consumption. At Manchester there re-
cently arrived seven cargoes of spruce
deals, but no effect upon prices was
visible. At a recent auction sale at
London, 3x7 first, second and third
quality spruce sold at £8 10s, and3 x9 at
49 15s per standard.

The Timber Trades Journal calls atten-
tion to a change which has taken place in
the past year or two. While a short
time ago small sizes were most wanted,
there has lately arisen an active demand
for deals.

II.

KS AND PRICES.

Allthe log drives on the St. Croix river,
in New Brunswick, have reached their
destination.

The quantity of logs rafted this season
on the St. John river by the Fredericton
Boom Company, of Fredericton, N. B.,
was 74,576,221 feet.

The British ship Errol sailed from Van-
couver for Falmouth, England, 138 days
ago, with a cargo of British Columbia
lumber. As yet no news has been receiv-
ed of her arrival at destination.

A report from Bangor, Maine, states
that the log famine there has been relieved
by the arrival of the east branch and Mat-
tawankeag drives, and that the mills are
now fully stocked, and most of them
running.

Recent sailings from Quebec included
the following : Str. “Ramleh,” for United
Kingdom, with timber and deals ; the
“Manchester,” with timber and deals ; the
“Monmouth” took on 500 standards of
deals and proceeded to Montreal to com-
plete cargo ; the “Forest Holme” is load-
ing timber and deals at Louise Basin.

The following figures show the value of
lumber exported from Ottawa during the
month of July : Basswood, $1,109 ; deals,
$19,049 ; laths, $1,187 ; planks and boards,
$100,906 ; shingles, $714 ; poles, $168 ;
railway ties, $2,815 ; total $125,969. The
above figures show a falling off in. com-
parison with July of 1899, when the
lumber exports totalled $336,410.

The lumber business at Collingwood,
Ont., is quite active this season. Up to
the present 4,000,000 feet of lumber has
been cut, and there still remains in the
booms about 11,000,000 feet of logs.
About half of these are owned by J. & T.
Charlton and the balance by Toner &
Gregory and D G. Cooper. The latter
is cutting under contract for Playfair &
White, of Midland.

The extensive timber lands, comprising
some 25,000 acres, belonging to the Estate
Kidston, of Glasgow, and situated in
Stoneham and Tewkesbury, on the
Jacques Cartier river, province of Quebec,
have been purchased by Wm. Power, of
Quebec city These limits are heavily
timbered with spruce, and it is said that
Mr. Power will build a large pulp mill on
the property. j

The Fredericton Gleaner says: ‘Laths
are so low in price at present that some
of the mills are not sawing them, but are
turning their slabwood into firewood in-
stead. Those who are sawing laths are
piling them up in expectation of a rise in
price. The price per thousand usually
ranges from $1.25 to $1.35. The latest
offer received by a city dealer, who usually
does a large business in laths, is 65 cents
per thousand landed at St. John.”

The property of the estate of Hugh
McLean, of Salmon River, N.B., was
offered for sale at auction in St. John on
August 3rd. The property consists of
230 square miles of timber lands on the
Salmon river, Queens county,anew gang
saw mill, shingle and lath machines, gen-
eral store, dwelling house, etc. The bid-
ding started at $10,000, and the property
was finally purchased by Geo. McKean,
who was understood to be representing
Mrs. McLean, atthe price of $31,750. _

Following is a comparative statement
of timber measured and culled at Quebec
up to 31st July, as reported by the Super-
visor of Cullers :

A report from Bangor, Maine, reflect-
ing the condition of the lumber market,
says : “The deal trade continues to look
promising, and steamers are being char-
tered to carry several million feet to vari-
ous points in the United Kingdom. A
cargo of 1,500,000 feet left Bangor July
30 in the steamship Gladys for West
Hartlepool, and the steamship Aberfeldy

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION. P

has just arrived to load for Newcastle-on-
Tyne. Several cargoes of white birch
spool bars have been shipped, and others
are soon to go to English and Scotch
ports. It is expected that 15,000,000 feet
of deals and 8,000,000 feet of spool bars
will be sent from Bangor to Great Britain
this season. Deal freights are higher
than for years, the steamship Aberfeldy
getting 55 shillings per standard from
Bangor to Newcastle-on-Tyne. Steam
tonnage is very scarce, owing to the great
demand for vessels to transport war
material to Africa and Asia. Coasting
freights are very low this year, $2.25 per
thousand being the rate to New York,
$2 to ports in Long Island Sound and
$1.62 to $1.75 to Boston. Some special
orders for dimensions are being filled in
New York, and there is considerable de-
mand for short lumber, but the market
for random spruce is almost lifeless.”

TIMBER LIMIT SALE.

The extensive lumbering property of the
Holland & Emery Company, consisting of
large mills at Byng tnlet, Ont., and valuable
timber limits adjacent thereto, was offered for
sale at public auction in Toronto on Mcnday,
August 6th. There was a small attendance of
lumbermen, and the auctioneer, Mr. S. H.
Townsend, failed to secure a bid for the prop-
erty, which was consequently withdrawn.

THE BOSTON MARKET.
Lumbermen report that the first signs of im-
provement in the spruce lumber market have
been visible during the past week. Yard
owners show more tendency to buy. While
prices are not much improved, it is certain
that there is less cutting going on, some of
the lots that must be sold having been disposed
of. Agreement rates are unchanged :

THE BARBADOS MARKET,

Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Co., in their
market report of July 21st, say:

The arrivals of lumber since our last have
been the Mercedese, from Belliveau Cove, to
our address, with 45 m ft. spruce boards, which
we sold at $20.10 for shipping; 15 m. ft.
2nd quality, $16; 45 m. ft. plank, $18. A
small steamer lot of hemlock, $14. Schr.
Etta E. Tanner has also brought 30 m. ft.
spruce—not yet disposed of. The New Do-
minion, from Dalhousie, N.B., has alsoarrived

with 50 m. ft. spruce boards, to our address,
which we have placed at $20.29 shipping,
$16.29 2nd quality. The demand for spruce
is virtually over for the season, crop being
closed. In white pine the Moss Rose has
arrived from Liverpool, N.S., with 170 m. ft.,
sold to arrive. Another cargo is also expected.
We sold a little lot ex. Mercedese at $24
shipping, $19 2nd quality ; but late prices will
hardly be maintained. Shingles—The Suc-
cess, from Paspebiac, Que., brought 1,125,-
000, of which sales were made of ordinary
long Gaspe at $3.03, while extra quality were
placed at $4.56 to $5.07. A small lot of
dimension, ex Canadian stmr., were sold at
$7.13 7 inch, $6.35 to $6.60 6 inch, $5.30 to
$5.50 5 inch, $3.60 to $4.24 4 inch. The

ew Dominion also brought 485 m. cedar
laying—now on offer. We placed 44 m. spruce
laying ex Mercedes at $2.

LATH PRICES AT OTTAWA,
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)

In my last letter I gave some figures re-
garding the price of lath which were based on
a misapprehension, and which I desire to
correct. Instead ui advancing in price, as was
stated, lath have declined in the Ottawa valley
50 cents, No. 1 pine selling at $2.50 to $2.75,
and No. 2 at $1.50 to $2. It was predicted
this product could not be retained at the pre-
vailing high figure, and the prediction proved
true. Although, on account of the extensive
building operations, the local market for lath
is good, this does not tend to keep up prices,
as the lower grades alone are used. The dull-
ness in the American market has brought about
a falling off in lath shipments, and the very
fact that prices were high proved a tendency in
the same direction. Now that a normal level
has been reached, the shipments may increase.

Mr. J. R. Booth has puta large gang of
men at work fitting up his yards on the Quebec
side of the Ottawa river, knownas the Hull
yards. The fire made such a clean sweep that
bridges, platforms, and tramways, as well as
piling floors, will all have to be rebuilt, at a
large cost.

. The E. B. Eddy Co. has nearly completed
a large saw mill and two smaller pulp mills,
being built to replace those destroyed in the fire.

Already many men are being hired in Hull
and Ottawa for work on the limits. The
number hired for the Ottawa firms promises
to exceed that engaged last year.

The high wages offered to men engaging for
the shanties next winter are: Log cutters, $26
to $28 ; teamsters, $24; general hands and
road makers, $18 to $22 ; cooks, $40 to $45 ;
loaders, $1 a day; foremen, $50 to $55 per
month.

Mr. Alex. Lumsden unsuccessfully offered
$28 a month and board last week to a crew of
men to work in his saw mill at Gordon Creek.
The mill had to close down for a time owing
to want of hands.

Roy & Sevigny, lumber agents, will this
week send a gang of men to Dyment & Co’s
limits at Thessalon, Ont.

Messrs. Chevrier & Limoges despatched 35
men last week fo J. R. Booth’s limits at

DEALS FOR SOUTH AFRICA.

A gentleman now in Canada desires to
obtain quotations from Canadian manufacturers
on a cargo of red and white pine deals, prin-
cipally 3x 9 and 3x 11, for shipment to South
Africa. The name of the party may be ob-
tained by communicating with this office.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Buying lumber, except for immediate
requirements, has been out of the question
during the past week. The excessive
heat caused dealers to relax entirely their
efforts for business; buyers and salesmen
were taken off the road. The mid-
summer quietude has almost reached the
point of stagnation. Shipments are being
made from the pine mills, but generally
very little new business is being placed.
Stocks at some of the mills are reported
to be getting quite heavy, and if the fall
demand does not prove of considerable
volume, there may be carried over the
winter more than an average quantity of
stock. Manufacturers, however, are not
worrying as to the future. They seem to
regard the outlook as hopeful, and are
not disposed to sacrifice prices. Some
slight cuiting has been reported, but it
has usually been in the case of a small
manufacturer wishing to realize, and con-
sequently has had but little effect upon
the market. The largest producers
believe in the maintenance of present
prices.

A denial has been given to the rumor
regarding the formation of a lumber trust
in the Ottawa valley.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Manufacturers in Quebec and New
Brunswick report a slow trade and un-
satisfactory market. The excessive freight
rates have restricted the demand for
British deals, and those who have not
already sold their output may be compelled
to accept lower prices. Two charters
have just been effected from St. John to
the western coast of England at 63s 9d
and 65s. Several cargoes of spruce were
last week shipped from St. John to
Boston. Hemlock is selling there at $13
to{15. New Brunswick shingles are
dull, the range of prices for No. 1 being
$2.80 to $3.

Nova Scotia lumbermen report trade
about up to theaverage. A manufacturer
writes that spruce lumber 1s in light
supply and that he has been unable to
secure snfficient stock to fill orders.
Steady prices during the balance of the
season are looked for.

UNITED STATES.

The lumber market of the United States
is practically featureless. There has been
asharp falling offin trade since June
30th, and the fall movement of stock has
not yet commenced. The condition of
the demand would warrant considerably
lower prices, but there have been excep-

tional influences tending to maintain the
strength of the market. Asa result ofa
short log supply and other causes, the
production of white pine this season is
almost certain to be less than last year.

Compared with one month ago, pine
prices are off about one dollar per thous-
and. One dealer may be holding to list
prices on a grade of which he has a short
stock, while on another grade more heavi-
ly in supply he may be offering a reduc-
tion of $1.50 from the list. The result is
that prices are considerably demoralized
and practically nominal. At Bay City
and Saginaw No.3 barn boards and
narrow inch box boards have declined one
dollar, and shaky clear in narrow widths
about $1.50 per thousand. Eastern
wholesalers have made but small purchases,
and will probably go into the winter
with lighter stocks than for a number of
years past. The eastern retailer, it is said,
is filling his requirements, as far as poss-
ible, with southern pine, prices of which
have declined sharply.

Hardwoods are showing a little more
life. Enquiries for stocks have increased.
A scarcity of basswood at Buffalo is re-
ported. White ash is selling thereat $45,
and log run maple at $19. In the Sag-
inaw valley log run is quoted at $18, bass-
wood at $17 to $18, elm at $16, and
maple at $14.

The Jath trade is demoralized. No. 1
white pine is now selling at Saginaw at
$2.50, No. 2 at $2, and hemlock at $1.50.
These prices represent a marked decline in
comparison with those ruling three months
ago.

GREAT BRITAIN.

Timber circulars to hand contain much
information bearing on the condition of
the British timber market. It1s shown
that during the month there were no
changes of importance in the prices of
square and waney timber and spruce deals.
Quebec pine deals, however, are consid-
erably higher than one month ago, the
advance at Liverpool being of an average
of £t per standard. First quality pine
deals are now quoted at £23 to £26,
second quality at £18 to £20, and third
quality at £12 to £12 Ios per standard.
The demand for lumber is not very active,
but the peculiar conditions surrounding
the trade are keeping prices firm, and
lower values are not expected this year.
Concerning a sale of wood goods held by
Hodson, Mabbs & Company, an exchange
says: “The Quebec fourth spruce, 3 x9,
at £8 15s, seemed cheap, and the planks
at Ios more would not have been dear a

{I.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

another 5s. Still fourth quality is not so
generally appreciated as it has been lately
and we do not think sellers have any
reason to be dissatisfied with the values
realized, which are twenty shillings high-
er than last year. With fourth spruce
under the hammer commanding £8 I5s
and £9, we may infer that the supply is
still inadequate to meet the demand.”

STOCKS AND PRICES.
The Munro Lumber Company, of Pem-
broke, Ont., are preparing to operate on
their new limits just above the Mattawa.

Tenders are invited up to August 29th
for the supply of lumber required for naval
purposes at Esquimalt, B.C.,for one year.

The steamship Riplingham will sail
this week from Montreal for Hull, with
a cargo of deals, shipped by Watson &
Todd

There has been a decline in the price of
red cedar shingles. This has had acorres-
ponding effect on prices asked for cedar
stumpage.

The steamer Feronia cleared from
Parrsboro, N.S., for Sharpness, on August
8th, with 2,398,248 feet of deals, ends and
scantling, shipped by Geo. McKean.

D. C. Mulhall, lumber merchant, Liver-
pool, N.S., bas sold out his interest in
the timber interests of Mulhall & Hunt
to the Acadia Pulp & Paper Mills Co.

The Department of Trade and Com-
merce at Ottawa have received an inquiry
from a Glasgow firm for clothboards, and
inviting quotations from Canadian manu-
facturers.

The North-Western Hemlock Manu-
facturers’ Association, at a meeting held
in Milwaukee on August 7th, adopted a
new price list, fixing the base price of
hemlock at $9.75 for short lengths on a
Wausau rate of freight.

In the Chicago market short piece stuff
in pine is selling on the basis of $15 to
$15.50, and No. 1 boards from $19 to $20.
Common inch averages about $15. The
shingle market has shown a little more
activity. Prices on eight-inch white cedar
shingles are in the neighborhood of $2.

Seaman & Company, of Port Arthur,
Ont., have the contract for supplying the
necessary timber for the construction of
bridges, culverts etc., for the Ontario and
Rainy River railway. Mr. Seaman states
that low water has delayed operations,
fully six million feet of logs being tied up.

All fear of a shortage of logs for the
Ottawa mills this season is said to be
passed. The last of the logs from the
Dumoine river, cut by J. R. Booth and
E, B. Eddy, have been floated into the
Ottawa. McLaren & Company and Ross
Bros. & Company have 30,000,000 feet
from the Du Lievre river.

The steamships Akaka and Marylands
are loading timber at Quebec for Great
Britain. The ‘Dunmore Head” is load-
ing deals and lumber at Indian Cove,
Que., for Dublin. The “Forest Holme”
is loading lumber and deals in Louise
Basin. The “Raymore Head” sailed from
Quebec for Dublin on the rith inst., with
a cargo of deals and timber.

Following is a comparative statement
ot timber measured and culled at Quebec
up to 14th August, as reported by the

The annual sale of unmarked logs, raft-
ed by the Fredericton Boom Company,
took place at Fredericton, N. B., on Aug-
ust 8th. The bidding was quite brisk,
particularly on spruce logs, which brought
the highest price on record, namely,
$10.80 per thousand. Hemlock, 46,810
feet, were bought by W. J. Davidson at
$4.05 per thousand ; cedar, 145,340 feet,
by J. A. Morrison at $5.80 per thousand ;
pine, 21,360 feet, by T. E. Babbit & Sons
at $8.05 per thousand; spruce 603,699 feet,
by Geo. E. Barnhill at $10.80 per thous-
and.

IMPROVEMENT AT BOSTON.

For spruce lumber there is a better call,
although the market is yet far from being an
active one. There isa fair enquiry from the
yard people, they evidently having made up
their minds that prices are down to the bottom.
For lumber shipped by water there is a better
demand, with a small supply. With all the
mills sawing has been curtailed a good deal,
till, now that the market is a little better, they
have but little lumber at hand. Spruce boards
are spoken of as particularly scarce, with better
prices being obtained. Letters from several of
the larger spruce manufacturers in Maine de-
cline orders, and explain that they have orders
on their books sufficient to last them till well
into the fall, and that they do not care to ac-
cept further business till prices are better.
Although business has been dull, they have cut
down on their sawing til] they have little
lumber on hand, and do not care to use their
logs on orders at present prices. Agreement
quotations are being better adhered to :

THE GLASGOW MARKET.
Messrs. Edmiston and Mitchells, in their
monthly timber circular of 31st July, review
the Glasgow market as follows :

Trade during the present month has been in-
terfered with considerably by the annual mid-
summer holidays, but, even apart from this,
there has been rather a lull in business generally.
The import so far this year from Montreal has
been unusually small, and this has had the effect
of maintaining values allround. In view of the
high freights now ruling, the tendency would
appear to be towards a still higher level of
values, but it is difficult to get buyers to enter-
tain this view. Buying is mostly on a restrict-
ed scale, the general feeling being apparently
against committing oneself too far ahead.

Waney BoarDwooD (first class)—Occa-
sional retail sales are reported at about 2s 9d
to 2s 10d per cubic foot for 70 feet average,
but there is not much demand, (Second
class)—Prices range from Is 6d to Is 10d, but
only a small amount of business has been
done.

Rep Pinz.—No sales are reported during
the month, and the stock on hand is quite
ample for likely requirements.

Oaxk.—A few small retail sales are reported
from time to time at from 2s 7d to 2s 9d per
cubic foot, but there have been no transactions
of importance.

ELM.—There are numerous enquirers, and
the stock is practically exhausted. Buyers are
eagerly awaiting the new season’s arrivals,
which will meet with a good demand at satis-
factory prices.

BircH.—Quebec—The import from Mon-
treal during the month amounts to about 600
loads of logs and 60 loads of planks. A con-
siderable proportion of the logs have had to be
stored, the market being decidedly weaker,
and it would be as well to stop consignments
to this market temporarily. Lower Port—
There has been no import this month, and the
few sales from stock are on a basis of 1s 5d to

1s 6d for 161nchaverage. Planks—There isa
fair demand at about Isto 1s 1d, and ship-
ments of these can be recommended,

AsH.—There have been several imports
this month, all of which found buyers ex
quay at satisfactory prices.

Deas, &c.—Business has been much re-

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

It 1s difficult to clearly define the lum-
ber situation in Ontario. The fall demand
is developing very slowly, and enquiries
for stock are not numerous. That lumber
prices have not weakened ia any marked
degree duriny the dull period of the past
two months wou!d seem to be ground {for
taking a hopeful view of the future in re-
gard to prices. But unless there should
be a more active movement of Jumber in
the near future the market may possibly
weaken. The large manufacturers are
showing no disposition in that direction,
but there are evidences that smaller
manufacturers are in need of money with
which to prepare for logging operations,
and that they are anxious to realize on
their present holdings of lumber ; and the
smail manufacturer has become a factor
in the market that cannot be entirely dis-
regarded. In Toronto pine prices are a
little easier ; 2x4 and 2x6 common are
selling at $14, 2x8 at $15, and 2x10 and 12
at $16. Mill culls are worth about $12,
and cull scantling $11.50. Inthe Ottawa
valley there are a few slight changes,
shorts and strips selling a little higher.

Considering the demand for hardwoods,
manufacturers are holding their stock
particularly firm. Whether they will
succeed in preventing a decline is a ques-
tion in doubt. The fact must not be lost
sight of that there are comparatively large
offerings of hardwood lumber, and that
there is no such scarcity of stock as exist-
ed one year ago. Maple and birch are
held in considerable quantities by dealers
and manufacturers, while there is also a
fair stock of elm. Two inch maple, firsts
and seconds, can be purchased from the
dealers in Toronto at $20, and ihe average
price at the mill is about $14. There is no
over-supply of basswood, which is held at
firm prices. There has been a slight ad-
vance in Western Ontario in hemlock
lumber, and it 1s understood that the de-
mand is exceeding the supply. Cedar
shingles are reported to be moving quite
actively.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The freight market is a little easier, but
any advantage from this will be wiped out
by increased insurance rates for fall ship-
ments, so that the position of lumber ex-
porters has not been materially improved.
Several exporters will probably carry over
until the spring a quantity of stock origin-
ally intended for shipment this season.
There is a little more life in the United
States trade. Clapboards and shingles,

however, remain dull. New Brunswick
cedar shingles are quoted at a wilde range,
from $2.80 to $3 for Nor on Boston rate
0° freight.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The lumber trade of Manitoba and the
Territories promises to suffer as the re-
sult of a partial failure of the crops.
Whereas 40,000,000 bushels of wheat
would be an average production for the
acreage under cultivation in these pro-
vinces, it is estimated that the yield this
year may not exceed 20,000,000 bushels.
There is hope, however, that the anal
figures will show better results. Lumber
is moving rather slowly, and very little
has been doing outside of the city of Win-
nipeg and larger towns. On the coast the
prospects are much brighter, as local
trade is fairly active and large shipments
are being made to foreign countries.

UNITED STATES.

No substantial improvement in the
lumber demand of the United States can
be reported? Enquiries are more num«
erous, but actual transactions are few.
Eastern retailers are buying in the most
conservative manner, and wholesalers are
disposed to follow this course ; at least,
they do not feel like putting m a heavy
stock until they have some assurance of
an improved demand. The call for build-
ing lumber is slow, but the varieties used
in general mill work are more active.
Some sales of No. 3 and No. 4 boards
have been made at Duluth at $14.50 and
$11 respectively.

Hardwoods have gained something in
volume during the past week, and there
is a more confident feeling in respect to
prices. Birch and maple are dragging,
but basswood is moving more freely.

Pacific coast shingles are weak and
the demand light. A few sales of pine
shingles are reported from Buffalo, but
on the whole the demand is quiet.

GREAT BRITAIN.

Freight rates continue to exert a strong
influence on the British timber market.
This is not surprising when it is remem-
bered that rates are 50 per cent. higher
than they were last spring. The result is
likely to be that large quantities of stock
purchased by the merchants will be
wintered over at various shipping points.
Owing to the certainty of a light import
this season, prices are showing a further
tendency to harden. The stock of white
pine deals in London docks 1s very low.
First quality regulars are selling as high
as $30 per standard, seconds at £23 to

{I

£24, thirds at £14 to £15, and fourths at

Alte tOumcore, . These, cf course,
are about the maximum figures. Spruce
deals are as strong as ever. There is a

marked scarcity of first qualicy Quebec
deals, but a larger supply of the New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia production.
Battens are gaining in favor, and it should
be possible to export a greater quantity of
these from Canada. The sizes most in
demand are 2$x7, 2x7 and 2x8. Insquare
timber Quebec elm seems to be most
asked for, and the stock is scarce. For 45
to 50 feet average 3s 3d to 3s 6d per cubic
foot can be obtained. A moderate busi-
ness is Going in birch at 18d to 21d for 14
to 16 inches, and 22d to 2s for 17 to 18
inches average.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
At Marinette, Wis, No. 3 pine boards
are held at from $14 to $15.

The steamer “Dallmally” left Pugwash
N. S., last week for Engfand with a cargo
of deals.

Up to August tst of this year, 151,268,-
050 feet of lumber was sawn at the Minne-
apolis mills,as against 193,632,250 feet for
3ame period last year.

Three vessels loaded lumber at Beck’s
wharf, Penetanguishene, last week, two
for Bay City and one for Jetroit, their
cargoes being 1,000,000 feet.

At the annual meeting of the Rouge
Boom Company, held at Calumet a few
days ago, it was stated that over 500,000
saw logs had passed through the
Rouge booms this summer, and that there
remained over 400,000 logs still to go
through.

The Saginaw Lumber and Salt Com-
pany, of Saginaw, Mich., are having 12,-
000,000 feet of lumber sawed at Parry
Sound. This lumber was sold early in
the spring for delivery to eastern dealers:
Another Parry Sound firm is reported to
have sold 4,000,c00 feet recently to go
east.

The steamship “John Christie” is Joad-
ing-a cargo of deals at Hochelaga, Mon-
treal, for Preston, England, shipped by
W. & J. Sharples. The “Riplingham”
sailed last week for Hull, witha full cargo
of deals, for account of Watson & Todd.
The ‘‘Aladdin” 1s loading a cargo of deals
for Great Britain, for McLean, Kennedy
& Company.

The steamship ‘“‘Tugela” sailed from
Quebec last week for Greenock, with
a cargo of timber and deals. The
“Torr Head” sailed on 15th inst. for
Belfast, and the “Dunmore Head” for
Dublin, both with deal cargoes. The
“Glenarm Head” is loading a cargo at
Indian Cove, Quebec.

Following is a comparative statement
of timber measured and culled at Quebec
up to 14th August, as reported by the

The Boston lumber market is not yet
particularly active, but the Gemand con-
tinues to improve steadily. For cargo
sptuce there is renewed enquiry, with the
supply small. Spruce boards are scarce,
and asa result better prices are being
obtained. It :s said that on other lumber
the agreement prices are having more
effect than has been the case since the
mills formed a combine. Shingles are
dull and easy and clapbeards are in much
the same condition. Laths are also dull,
with little business noted. Hemlock lum-
ber is yet in small supply, but the demand
shows some improvement. Quotations
here are as follows: Spruce—io and 12

lengths, 10 feet and up, $16.50 ; 2x3, 2x4,

THE OTTAW VALLEY.
(Correspondencé of the Canapa LUMBERMAN.)
Ottawa, Aug. 17th, 1900.
Although there is a brisk export trade from
the mills at present, dealers report local busi-
ness quiet, Prices which were unsettled six
weeks ago, have again steadied down. The
American market is not as brisk as it was last
year, the demand having fallen off. Lumber
shipments by boat and rail destined for the
British market are increasing in number now
that the mills are in a position to cut and sat-
isfy the shortage caused by the fire. The
feature of the price list ruling on the Ottawa
market is the advance in several different lines
of pine. Sidings and shorts are both firmer.
The demand for men for the limits is large
and cannot be satisfied. Wages are even higher
than last year and the prospects for activity on
the limits are good. Last week the Hull Lum-
ber Company sent 85 men up to their limits on
the Ostobonina river and 60 to those on the
Kippewa. J. R. Booth, Gilmour & Hughson
and outside firms are also engaging large gangs.
The sawmill of Messrs. W. & J. Bail-
lie, situated at Aylmer, near Ottawa, was to-
tally destroyed by fire a few night since, and it
has not been decided yet whether the mill will
be rebuilt or not. The mill has been sawing
for Mr. Gillies, of Arnprior, for some time.
The loss is $22,000, with an insurance of $10,-
ooo, By the fire 120 men are thrown out of em-
ployment. Richie’s mill near by will probably
be operated day and night to finish the cut the
ruined mill was working on. At present
Ritchie’s mill is working overtime for the Hull
Lumber Company, whuse mill was destroyed
by fire.

The Ottawa Lumber Company intend build-
ing a large warehouse on its storage and ship-
ping premises at Ottawa. The new building will
have a capacity of 1,000,000 feet of hardwood
lumber. This will be purchased throughout
the country, and shipped to Ottawa, where it
will be sorted and stored in the new warehouse.
The lumber is intended for the foreign market.
New houses and stables will also be built on
the premises. The Ottawa Lumber Company
has now well equipped premises, and a large
trade is being done with the local and outside
market. The spruce and pine lumber are
shipped to Ottawa from the mill on the Rouge
river, 160 miles distant, and sorted for sale,
The company is doing a large business with
the British market, and has a branch at Glas-
gow in this connection. The German market
has also been tapped, and the Canadian pro-
duct is said to meet with much favor. Goodly
shipments of pine and birch lumber and timber
have been made, and recently a trial shipment
of spruce boards was forwarded. The foreign
dealers and manufacturers expressed satisfaction
with the Canadian spruce, thus establishing a
new market for it. Manager Grant, of the
company, leaves today for Glasgow, where he
will look after the lumber interests in the British
market. He will be absent about a fortnight
in Scotland. The mill on the Rouge river is
cutting on spruce and pine.

Mr. J. R. Booth, the lumber king, has pur-
chased the water lots near his large mill upon
which tne McKay Milling Co’s large mill stood
before the fire. Mr. Booth has not yet an-
nounced what use he will make of the valuable
water power. He may, however, erect a large
pulp mill or planing mill.

The logs
which will be floated down the Gatineau have
been gathered at Maniwaki ready for movement
down the river. There is no shortage of logs at
the Ottawa mills and no further trouble trom
“*tie ups” is expected.

Owing to a slight accident to a water wheel,
the Bronson & Weston m 1] at the Chaudiere,
operated by the Hull Lumber Company, was
shut down for a few days this week.

The machinery has all arrived for the E. B.
Eddy Company’s new saw mills, and cutting
operatons will be commenced within a month.
The wood-working establishment is also nearly
completed and the machinery will be installed
without delay. It is expected that the Eddy
coocern will again be supplying matches to the
trade before the end of next month. The first
car load of machinery for the pulp mills has

intended for the Ottawa mills —

¥

AUGUST 22, Ig00

arrived, and the massive paper machinery is

expected shortly. Building operations, despite
the continued wet weather,are far advanced on
all the Eddy buildin-s.

The death occured a few days ago of Henry
Walters, an old resident of Hull, well and favor-
ably known to the lumber trade. Deceased
ran an axe factory for many years in Hull, and
supphed the lumbermen of the Ottawa valley.
Two sons, Harry and Morley, are now in active
service in South Africa,

The chances for the formation of a lumber
trust or syndicate including all the lumber
interests of Ottawa and the Ottawa valley, are
now said to be very slight. It is said a local
broker was responsible for the effort to form
such a trust. A similar trust has just been
formed among the milk men.

All the saw mills along the O. A. & P. S.
Ry, between Ottawa and Depot Harbor, includ-
ing those of the St. Anthony Lumber Co. at
Whitney, are working full time, and the ship-
ments of lumber are heavy.

Pine deals have arrived more freely, but the
dock stock remains the smallest on record for
some years. Prices are very firm, and should

go higher in sympathy with the cost of ship- .

fing further supplies, and the scarcity of good
stock available for shipment. The spruce
murket continues steady with a good demand,
and prices have quite recovered from the tem-
porary easing off caused by shipments from the
lower ports. The cost of fresh arrivals will be
much enhanced by the high rates of freight.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.

ONTARIO.

The lumber buyer is still waiting for
the manufacturer to lower his figures be-
fore he enters into contract for any con-
siderable quantity of stock. Influenced in
his actions by the law of supply and de-
mand, he does not feel that the situation
at present warrants the purchase of but
sufficient stock to supply his customers,
while the manufacturer appears to have
faith in the future of lumber prices and is
offering little inducement to buyers in the
way of lower prices. A quiet trade is the
natural result of these conditions, and
until the demand from consumers shall
infuse more life into the trade, no im-
provement can be expected. The large
pine manufacturers report a satisfactory
movement of stock at good figures, but
few new sales, and the same may be said
of hardwoods. The supply is much more
plentiful than it was at the corresponding
period last year, and yards that were then
entirely cleaned out are now well filled with
stock. The increased cost of production,
however, would seem to justify manufac-
turers in holding their stock at a rea-
sonable figure, as at present there is
but a fair margin of profit. High wages
are being offered for men to work in the
woods, and labor seems very scarce.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Throughout the lumber trade a slightly
better feeling seems to prevail. Ship-
ping to Great Britain is now quite active,
and freight rates area little easier, It is
reported that a raft of square and waney
pine timber was sold last week at Quebec
at 50 cents per cutic foot, an advance of
about ten cents on the price obtained for

similar timber last year. Ifthe figures
are correctly reported, they reflect a
strong market for pine timber. Prices
of elm, birch, and ash are unchanged.
Apart from European shipments the
spruce market is quiet. In the absence
of a good demand prices are unsettled.
No materialimprovement islooked for until
about the middle of September, by which
time it is expected the fall movement of
stock shall have commenced. Clap-
boards and shingles have not recovered
from their recent lethargy.

UNITED STATES.

The lumber situation in the United
States has been strengthened by the
statistics collected and just made public
by the Mississippi Valley Lumbermen’s
Association. These show the condition
of white pine stocks in Wisconsin, Min-
nesota and at points below on the Missis-
sippi river. According to figures sub-
mitted by manufacturers, and which are
beleived to be correct, the stock of lum-
ber on hand on August tst of this year
was 1,625,808, 373 feet, a shortage of 224,-
680,048 feet as compared with August st,
1899. It wasalso shown that the cut of
this year will be 485,850,000 feet less
than last year. These figures have in-
spired confidence in the future of the lum-
ber business, and have had a tendency to
strengthen prices, At the meeting above
referred to, the question of advancing the
price of white pine was considered, but
it was decided to reaffirm the old list.
Lumber buying is still backward, but the
number of enquiries have created a
strong hope of an active fall trade. The
reduced prices of iron and steel have
stimulated building operations in the
Eastern States. The manufacturing de-
mand, however, is not so strong as last
year. Such orders as have been placed
indicate a broken condition of retail stock,
and as soon as trade shall pick up liberal
buying will no doubt result. Hemlock
lumber has weakened and is now said to
be selling in Buffalo at $13. Spruce is
quiet, but manufacturers are holding
prices steady. At Boston, 9 inch and
under is selling at $15, 10 and 12 inch
at $16, and spruce boards, planed one
side, at $14. Hardwoods have not 1m-
proved within the past few days. Maple
and ash are rather dull of sale, elm is in
moderate request, and oak is called for
to a considerable extent.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The receipts of Canadian lumber at
British ports have been quite heavy of

late. But notwithstanding prices show a
further upward tendency. F.o.b. trans-
actions are reported at the following
prices: Ist quality pine, 1: in. x12 ft.
£26; 2nd quality, same dimensions, £18
to £19; 3rd quality, 432; 4th quality, £8.
Several sales of 3rd and 4th quality have

been made at the above figures. Ata recent
sale held by Churchill & Sim, a parcel of
Ist pine, 13 ft.x11 in., from Montreal,

sold at £30, and two lots of 12 ft. to 13
ft., 3x7, dry, of the Hawkesbury cut,
brought £21 5s per standard. There is
likewise a splendid demand for spruce.
The latest prices have been £9 12s 6d for
2nd quality 3x9, and £9 for 3rd quality,
II in. of 2nd quality bringing £10 15s c.i.f.
London. The docks contain a large
quantity of slating battens, and it is said
that the market in this line is likely to be
overdone unless the consumption in-
creases,

Square and waney timber is steady but
not particularly active. Waney pine has
been sold at an advance of 6d per cubic
foot on the price obtained for similar stock
last year, but recent sales have shown a
slight decline in the price of birch. This
is said to be due to the action of certain
merchants in placing too much stock
on the market. Maple timber has been
sold at auction at 163%4d per cubic foot
elm timber at 19 34d, and ash timber at 19d.

lumber.

The ‘Manchester Shipper” sailed from
Parrsborro, N. S., on August 21st for
Manchester, with a cargo of 3,494,632 feet
of lumber, shipped by George McKean.

A large quantity of lumber will be re-
quired for the proposed harbor improve-
ments at Port Colborne, Ont. The con-
tractors estimate that they will use 4,000,-
ooo feet this year.

Thos. E. Stewart, of Upper Musquodo-
boit, N. S., owns 900 acres of timber limits
on the headwaters on the Musquodoboit
and Moose river, and wishes to let the
contract for logging same.

During the month of July of this year
there was received at Buffalo 15,552,000 ft.
of lumber, against 34,574,000 feet in the
corresponding month last year. In shin-
gles there was a decrease of 6,981,000.

Peter Wallace, of Midland, Ont., has
secured the contract from the Georgian
Bay Lumber Co. to take out 10,000,000
feet of logs during the coming winter.
It is estimated that the company will
make a large cut on the Blind River.

The German ship “ Marie” sailed last

jana” and the “Lindfield” are both load-
ing at the same mill for foreign destina-
tions.

A.F. & D. Mackay, of Liverpool, Eng.,
recently held an auction sale of birch
timber from St. John. The sale was
moderately well attended by local buyers,
but bidding was dul], and prices ranged
from 154d to 26d, the whole averaging
17%4d for 15% in. deep foreign. Early
last month a parcel of the same average
depth was disposed of at an average price of
20%4d per foot. This shows a decline of
about 3d per foot, which is ascribed to
the forced sales of timber.

Following is a comparative statement
ot timber measured and culled at Quebec
up to 27th August, as reported by the
Supervisor of Cullers :

There is still a fair demand for both white
pine and spruce lumber. We note one arrival
with white pine during the fortnight, which
has been placed as follows—$23.08 for first
quality, and 18.08 for second quality, Last
sale of spruce $20.29 for first and $16.29 for
second quality boards, and $18.00 for planks.

Gaspe cedar shingles have arrived freely. We
placed 187 M. large, ex Success, at $5.07 per
M ; other sales ex same vessel have been made
at $4.56 for large, and $3.03 for small ; cedar
laying at $2.03 for a cargo of 485 M. ex New
Dominion ; spruce layings at $2.00.

FIRES.

Fire recently destroyed Livingston’s saw
mill and hoop and handle factory at Blythe,
Ont.

Doolittle’s saw mill on the fourth concession
of Malshide, near Centreville, Ont., was burn-
ed last week.

The sash and door factory of Geo, Brad-
shaw on St. James street, Montreal, has been
damaged by fire to the extent of $5,000.

The saw mill of Logan & Sutherland, at
Musquodoboit Harbor, N. S., was destroyed
by fire last week. The loss is about $20,000
and insurance small.

The saw mill of R. B. Miller on the Red

Mountain railroad, six miles below Rossland,

C., was burned recently, together with
500,000 feet of lumber. The loss is estimated
at $22,000, and there 1s no insurance.

SHIPPING MATTERS.

The current rates of freight to Buffalo are
$2.25 from Duluth, $1.62} from Menominee,
and $1.40 from Georgian Bay.

The German ship Wilhelmina, which is
loading lumber at Vancouver, B.C., for South
Africa, gets 92s 6d, which is said to be the
highest freight rate yet paid on lumber from
the coast to South Africa.

pine timber situated on lots 1, 2, 3, 4and 5, in
the first concession of the township of Dana,
district of Nipissing. Much of this timber has
been damaged by fire.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Trade in pine lumber, although not
altegether satistactory, is devoid of that
life which usually characterizes business
during the month of September. August
was extremely dull in respect to local
trade. Whether the current month will
bring about much improvement is a mat-
ter of conjecture. Mills in the Georgian
Bay district are shipping quite largely to
the Eastern States, and in the Ottawa
valley export business is more active.
While prices generally are firm, there
has been, we believe, some slight cutting
on certain grades of which a manufacturer
has had alarge supply. The feeling, how-
ever, is almost universal towards main-
taining prices at their present basis.

The outlook for hardwood manufac-
turers does not seem to be altogether reas-
suring. ~The demand is backward and
manufacturers are carrying a considerable
quantity of stock, The bulk of this stock is
the present season’s production, and conse-
quently unfit for shipping until well into
the fall. But unless the demand shall
improve materially manufacturers will be
obliged to go into the winter with heavy
stocks. The logs from which this stock
was cut were purchased at what may be
called an excessive price, and consequently
there is a strong disposition on the part of
some manufacturers to realize quickly.
If they cannot do so at current quotations
theyare likely to reduce their asking prices.
Thus it will be seen that unless there
should arise an enlarged consumption and
improved demand for lumber, the market
may be expected to weaken.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The lumber business in Manitoba and
the Territories has been adversely affected
by the weather of the past week. The
outlook for fall business is only fair. In
British Columbia trade is active and fair
prices are being secured. Building in
Vancouver is quiet, and it appears that
the demand for residences has been satis-
fied. A large export trade in lumber is
doing, the manufacturers reporting orders
from all parts of the world. It is es-
timated that the Moodyville mills will
export 12,000,000 feet between now and
the end of the year.

UNITED STATES.

The lumber trade of the United States
are still waiting patiently for the fall
demand to present itself. Apart from a
slight increase in the number of enquiries,
rarely followed by orders, the situation

has not changed. That there are reasons
to expect a considerable improvement in
business cannot be disputed, although a
trade equal in proportion to that of last
fall is considered out of the question.
With prices getting to a bottom, retail
stocks low, railroads planning improve-
ments, and a prospect of a car shortage,
consumers will surely show a disposition
to stock up to meet their fall and winter
requirements. There is, of course, on
the other hand, the usual business un-
certainty which always characterizes the
year of a presidential election, but up to
the present the commercial interests of
the country do not seem to have suffered
to any extent from this cause. There
has recently been a better movement of
lumber from the Lake Superior district,
the orders being chiefly for bill stuff and
dimension timber. In Chicago there is a
scarcity of inch lumber, and several
dealers have been resawing two inch to
supply their customers.

Spruce lumber is showing a little more
strength, and an advance in prices is
looked for in the near future. Hardwoods
have held firmly at the lower prices
recently established. At Boston ash sells
at $40 to $42 for one inch, $43 to $45 for
one to two inch, and $50 to $60 for three
and four inch. A considerable quartity
of elm has been purchased in Michigan
by eastern dealers.

GREAT BRITAIN.

No advance has taken place in the
United Kingdom in the price of Canadian
lumber, but with equal accuracy it may
be said that there has been no decline.
The market is particularly firm, the
higher qualities of stock showing more
Strength than the lower grades. White
pine deals of first quality are selling at
from £28 to £30 per standard. Con-
tractors and general consumers have now
given up hope of a weaker market, and as
a result an increased volume of building
is under way. Trade at Liverpool is
rather quiet, but at London more activity
is reported. Some dimensions of spruce,
such as 3xII in. in long lengths, fare
wanted and meet with ready sale. In the
timber trade waney board pine is most
enquired for. Prices are well maintained,
buyers seemingly having made up their
minds to give the prices asked by
holders of stock. No business of anv
account for next seascn has been done.
There is much uncertainty as 10 future
prices, owing chiefly to the unsettled con-
dition of the freight market.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

SEPTEMBER 5, 1900

STOCKS AND PRICES.
Sales of lumber at Duluth for the last
week in August total 15,000,000 feet.

A large fleet of vessels, carrying about
6,000,000 feet of lumber, arrived at Tona-
wanda last week.

New Brunswick cedar shingles are sell-
ing in Boston at $2.85 to $2.95. Wash-
ington cedars are held at $3.

The steamer Winnifred sailed from St.
John, N.B., last week for Newport, with a
cargo of 1,051 standards of deals.

The schooner Defiance is loading lum-
her at Barnet, B.C., for Sydney, Australia,
This is the first vessel to load at Barnet
since the new mills there have been com-
pleted.

The ship Ruby cleared from West Bay,
N.S., for Liverpool on August 29th with
1,028,488 feet of deals and 124,985 feet of
deal ends, shipped by M. L. Tucker for
W. M. McKay.

A report from Ottawa states that there
is a great scarcity of men for the lumber
business. Ritchie & Co., of Aylmer, are
unable to get sufficient men to run their
mills day and night as intended.

A combination of lumber interests has
been formed by the representatives of the
various saw mills in the Yukon district.
The prices of lumber as agreed upon are
as follows ; Rough lumber, $85 ; dressed,
two sides, $120; four sides, beaded, etc.,
for ceiling and such purposes, $125. It
is said that recently rough lumber was
selling as low as $65, hence the combine.

Adespatchfrom Kippewaregarding lum-
bering operations says : The coming win-
ter’s operations are already commenced in
this district by the different lumber firms.
A.A. Buell & Co. have about 125 men in
on their Ostobomas limit ; the Hawkes-
bury Lumber Co., about 50 on White Pine
river ; the Hull Lumber Company, about
100 on Sunny Side limit ; McLaughlin
Bros., about 60 on Wolfe lake, with two
more gangs to go in yet.

A Buffalo report says: There are a
good many red cedar shingles reported
coming east by the package-freight lake
lines, but it has come to be so general to
buy direct that most of the supplies that
land here go directly through to eastern
points. The use cf 18-inch cuts has been
fairly given up, the consumer preferring a
fairly good 16-inch for most purposes.
White pine still leads slightly in_ price
and for the best 16-inch the price is now
about $3.33.

of timber measured and culled at Quebec

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)

Your correspondent has obtained some in-
formation regarding the cost of producing
ljumber which may be of interest to readers of
THE LUMBERMAN.

A prominent wholesale grocer of Ottawa
states that the all-round advance in provisions
over last year’s prices is 1237. Japan teas
have advanced 4 cents a pound or about 25%.
Sugar has advanced } cent a pound or 1237.
Molasses have advanced like sugar about 1237.
Flour, pork and peas, however, are at the same
figure as last year, and may be secured even a
little lower. Codfish also remains at last year’s
figure, but herring may be considerably higher.
Baking powder and all canned 7oods, includ-
ing vegetables, remain at the old figure accord-
ing to Ottawa quotations. Raisins, currants
and figs show a sharp advance of 123% and are
likely to go higher, but prunes remain at the
same prices quoted for last year’s supplies,
Coal oil has advanced about 5%, and soap t.as
gone up fully 20%. Woodenware, pails, tubs,
etc., also show a slight advance. Owing to
tha advanee in the price of cotton, overalls,
smocks, topshots, and all lines of duck and
cotton clothing will be about 20% higher than

last year. Coarse woolen goods, socks, shirts,
etc., have declined in. price, and may go about
5% below last year’s prices. This includes
heavy woolen clothing. Though thread has
advanced 30°/., the supply of coarse wool looks
tobe a large one, hence the decline. There
is no change from last year’s prices in different
lines of leather. Moccasins, shoe packs, and
heavy boots have not advanced in price, while
harness, covers, etc., are also quoted on the
same terms as last year. The principal ad-
vance in hardware and iron goods has been in
axes, which are quoted at from 20% to 25°/°
above the prices ruling last season. Cant
hooks have advanced 10°/, and files the same.
Saws, however, have shown no such move-
ment, and are selling at the old figures. During
the recent easy movement in iron, horse shoes
have declined 10°/, in price, and nails are also
quoted at a lower figure than lasi season.
Stoves and stove fixtures and other iron goods
do not seem to show any advance,

The Jocal labor market is furnishing difficul-
ties for the lumber kings. Work is plentiful
on account of the recent fire and general
activity, and even last year’s high figures are
being eclipsed. An all-round advance of from
20°/, to 30°/, is in sight.

The demand is greater than it was last year,
and good men are commanding high figures.
Foremen are being offered as high as $50 to
$55 a month, log cutters $26 to $28, teamsters
$24 to $26, road makers and shahty hands
$20 to $23, loaders $1 to $1.25 a day, and
cooks $40 to $45 a month.

It is stated that some men were sent up last
season who were unfit for the work, and hence
a more careful selection is being made this
year, which in itself has a tendency to advance
wages.

POSSIBILITY OF AN OVERSTOCK.

The Timber Trades Journal, of London,
Eng., publishes in its last issue the following
as a warning to American shippers of lumber :

The demand for American hardwood lumber
has recently shown signs of slackening, and
stocks are accumulating at the receiving ports.
Prices, too, have given way on one or two
descriptions. Prime qualities in logs and
lumber maintain their position and always will
do so, and the accumulation of stock consists
mainly of lower qualities and neglected dimen-
sions. Black walnut logs and lumber of good
quality and useful sizes are low in stock ; in
fact, there 1s not a prime log of walnut in first
hands in London at the present moment. It
has been stated that there are signs of a revival
of the vogue of black walnut in the furniture
trade of the States, which, if true, would prac-
tically stop the export trade. Those best
acquainted with the remaining forest supply
think the revival of home consumption im-
possible at the present day. The trees now
growing are too scattered and too few to keep
up the supply for a large regular consumption
such as would be required for the American
furniture trade. There has been a decline in
the prices of hardwoods in the States during
the past few months, as a result of the falling
offin the demand. The inflated prices of the
last year or two have had the same effect there
as the present high prices are exercising here,
that is, they cause a curtailment of the con-
sumption. The drop in demand and prices
may be only temporary, and a reaction from
the feverish demand of last year; it is, how-
ever, having its effect on the export trade, and
it would seem that a period of indiscriminate
consignments to this market has again set in,
which in part accounts for the the accumula-
tion of stocks alluded to. We hear that con-
siderable stocks are awaiting shipment at all
the export points on the Atlantic seaboard, as
well as at the Southern ports. At Newport
News quite recently there were over a hundred
carloads of lumber which had been waiting
over thirty days for shiproom. Even now
shipments are being sent over more rapidly
than the market can absorb them. In the
Millwall Dock Co.’s last half-yearly report it
was stated that the arrivals of American lum-
ber had increased lately to such an extent that
it had been necessary to hire barges in which
to store it, for lack of available shore accom-
modation. We would warn American shippers
against the consequence of heavy consignments,
and recommend them to ship on contract only,
or the bottom will again be knocked out of the
market, and disastrous consequences will en-
sue.

A fire in the lumber district of Montreal on
August 31st damaged the sash and door fac-
tory of Broulette and Aumond to the extent of
$18,000, and the Inmber yard of Alex. Mc-
Laren to the extent of $5,000. H. Lapointe

THE AUSTRALIAN MARKET.

The monthly timber report of Fraser & Co.,
Melbourne, reviews the Australian market as
follows :

There is practically no change to report in
the condition of the market since the issue of
our last report on the second inst. Supplies to
hand have been of no important character,
though within the next four weeks there will
likely be some fairly considerable addition to
stocks of those classes of timber which are in
most consumption in this market, and then we
shall be in a better position to more accurately
gauge the near future course at this’ end, both
in respect to the demand and values generally.
An unusal continuation of rainy weather in this
our winter season has affected trade in the
country districts, the bulk of business having
been obtained from the town and suburban
quarters, where contracts for building require-
ments have not been materially interfered with.
Although the holdings in this city are by no
means large, and while some importers have
lately been endeavoring to sell various timber
from cargoes shortly due, there has been but
little disposition manifested, however, to buy
just at present, although it is recognized that
c.i.f. values are not likely to be lower in the
near distant date. We do not look for improve-
ment at this side vpon existing values in scarcely
any description of timber, but with judicions
care being shown in the handling of shipments
now on the way, there should be no reason
why prices as given below should be altered to
any important extent, with, however, the
exception of Oregon lumber, as we fear from
recent local movements that the present price
of £8 per 1,000 feet super. for spot stocks will
not be sustained when shipments shortly ‘‘to
arrive” are being offered upon the market.

OREGON PINE.—Imports : 897,064 feet
super. Arrival : Fresno, from Port Blakeley.

About 300,000 feet of the above shipment was ©

placed at £8 per 1,000 feet super. previous to
and upon arrival at wharf. Lower quotations
are being named for supplies to arrive by
steamers and sailers, but so far no business has
resulted. Stocks on hand are not of importance,
but owing to unexpected early shipments by
steamers having been arranged, buyers are not
at present anxious to operate. A small cargo
for here per the Wrestler, put into Sydney dis-
mantled, and was sold at that port.

The schooner Transit has been chartered to
load lumber at Chemainus, B. C., for Sydney,
Australia, at 52s 6d.

Spiece’s saw mill in Bayham, Ont., was de-
stroyed by fire last week, together with 50,000
shingles aad 20,000 feet of lumber.

a
CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

A problem which is now confronting
lumbermen, and particularly white pine
manufacturers, is the question of obtain-
ing men for logging operations. Its said
to be very difficult to secure good men for
work in the woods, and as a result the
standard of wages has advanced. Higher
wages are being offered this fall than for
many years past. Partly for this reason
the producticn of logs during the
coming winter will likely be smaller
than last year, but as a considerable
quantity of logs was this season hung up
in the streams in the Georgian bay dis-
trict, there will likely be a full stock for
next year’s operations.

Pine lumber is moving in moderate

volume, although trade is much less active
than in the fall of last year. Considerable
Shipments are Leing made from the
Georgian bay district to wholesale dis-
tributing yards in the Eastern States.
The freight rate to Buffalo, which has
been $1.40 for some time, is now ten
cents higher. In the Ottawa valley the
trade shows signs of more activity. There
has been a further decline in the price of
pine lath, No. r now being quoted at $2 to
$2.50, and No. 2 at $1 to $1.25.

There is much irregularity in hardwood
prices, the larger mills holding firmly to
recent lists, and the smaller mills being
willing to accept«onsiderably lower prices
in order to effect sales. The demand has
hot shown any visible improvement.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,

Spruce lumber is feeling the effects of
the excessive freight rates which have
prevaile2 during the season. Manufac-
turers have been unable to effect sales,
not on account of any lack of demand for
export stock, but for the -eason that
shippers have not been able to make sales
excepting for delivered stock: © This con-
dition has caused ‘a slight weakening of
the market, and will likely result in con-
siderable stock intended for export being
carried over until next spring. The
Eastern States trade has been 4 little
more active since the 1st of September,
but is not taking any great quantity of
stock. Cedar shingles are dull at about
$2.95 for No. 1 on Boston rate of freight.
Local trade is being benefitted by the
harbor improvement work at Montreal.

UNITED STATES.

The lumber trade of the United States
is improving, but slowly. The volume of
business is much less than at the corres-
ponding period one year ago. In the east
a stronger disposition is shown to buy for
stocking up purposes, but the opinion
seems to be gaining ground that there
will be no important advance in prices,
and consequently dealers are in no hurry
to place orders. Prices on some grades
seem to have weakened. At Saginaw,
for instance, uppers and selects are re-
ported to be selling about one dollar
lower, A and B strips $2 lower, and shaky
clear stock from $2 to $3 lower than two
weeks ago. It is probable, however, that
in this particular market the stock of
these grades is comparatively large. The
situation at Buffalo has not changed.
Lumber is believed to be selling at slightly
lower figures than those quoted in our last
list, but a determined effort is being made
to prevent a general break, The high

prices asked at producing points offer little
inducement for eastern wholesalers to
sacrifice their stock. In Chicago pine
piece stuff is firmer, selling at $13 in cargo
lots. Pine shingles are in short supply,
selling at $2.30 to $2.40. No. 1 white
pine lath brings from $2.50 to $3,and No.2
mixed $1.75, the demand being chiefly for
lower grades.

A larger demand for hardwood is re-
ported. Prices are firmer, and a good
fall demand would likely bring about a
slight advance. Hemlock prices are weak.
The base price at Buffalo Is about $13.

GREAT BRITAIN.

Somewhat unsettled conditions char-
acterize the British lumber market. Im-
porters are not disposed to entertain free-
on-board quotations owing to the difficulty
of chartering vessels, but are quite willing
to pay current prices for stock delivered
at a British port. It is yet too early to
speak definitely of next season’s tirade,
but an early termination of the South
African war would be certain to greatly
improve the outlook. In the face of
rather unfavorable conditions, the market
is holding steady. For spruce deals it is
predicted that an advance of at least ten
shillings per standard will be made before
the end of the year, owing to the high
rates of freight. A few sales of rst quality
pine have been made at 430 per standard
in docks. At recent auction sales pine and
spruce have sold well considering the
quality of the stock offered. Some first
pine, 13 feet x 3x9 inches, Sold at Lon-
don, brought £25 15s per standard, and
3x9 in. third quality spruce, from
Quebec, £10. Spruce battens have sold
at £8 15s for 3 x 7% in. second quality, and
48 for third quality, c.i.f. London.
There is 4 good demand for waney pine
timber and the stock is light. Birch
timber is dull and about two cents per
cubic foot lower than one month ago.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the Canada Lumberman.)

The export lumber business, which has
been rather slack for the past six weeks,
promises to improve shortly, now that the
fall shipments are near at hand. Prices
will probably advance, as the demand for
various lines will increase. At this season
American dealers commence to stock up
their yards for the winter's trade, and
hence a greater call is made on the Otta-
wa mills and shippers. Trade with Great
Britain continues good, though shippers
still complain of a dearth of ocean vessels,
which has the effect of lessening and re-
tarding shipments. Retailers report a
steady, active local trade, the extensive
building operations in Hull and Ottawa
being accountable for this. All the planing
mills and sash and door factories are rush-
ed with orders. At W. C. Edwards &
Co’s. mills a night gang is kept busy.

The principal subject of discussion in
the local lumber circles centres on the
advance in wages paid for the various
classes of labor on the limits. N. Page, of
Hull, who has sent several large gangs
from that city, is.offering $30 a month and
board for teamsters, $27 and upwards for
choppers, and from $40 to 50 for cooks.
General hands are being offered $27 a
month and upwards. So far goo men
have been sent to Warren, Mattawa, and
Temiscamingue for Mr. J. R. Booth.

Chitty & Co. are engaging men for the
South River Lumber Co. at South river,
the Eddy & Jordan Co. at Blind river,
the Pembroke Lumber Co. at Petewawa,
and the firm of A. & P. White at Dieux
river. So far about 500 men have been
engaged. The scarcity of suitable labor
is greater this season than ever. before,
owing to the fact that high wages rule
in the local labor market, where good
workers are none too plentiful. As the
different milly will run late this fall, it is
not expected that relief can be afforded
the lumber labour market for some months
to come. A gentleman just returned from
the Temiscamingve district states that
first class choppers, able to manufacture
square timber, are receiving $40 to $45 a
month, and several of the mines in the
neighborhood have had to shut down, as
the men are leaving to work for Mr. J. R.
Booth, getting out square timber. Ac-
cording to the Ottawa gentleman, lumber-
ing operations promise to be very brisk in
the Temiscamingue country during the
coming season.

The present has beena particularly good
season at all the mllls on the Ottawa river.
Mr. Georgo H. Perley, who operates a
large mill at Calumet, on the north shore
line of the C. P. Ry., states that he ex-
pects a cut of 20,000,000 feet this season.
The mill is running night and day, with
large gangs. A great part of the output
is being shipped to the British market.

Mr. W. C. Edward’s mills at Rockland
are a scene of increased activity, and the
cut there also promises to exceed last
year's. McLaren & McLaurin’s mill at
East Templeton, the McLaren and the
Kelly mills at Buckingham, and the Owen

mill at Montebello, will rank well up in the
cut along the Ottawa river,

It is now known definitely that Bailey's
saw mill at Aylmer, which was recently
destroyed by fire, will not be rebuilt. Mc.
Bailey has purchased several mica mines,
which will divide attention with his lumber
and other interests. Mr. Bailey still
believes that the fire which destroyed his
mill was of incendiary origin, Last fall
friction arose with certain labor leaders of
Ottawa over the employment of a ma-
chinist by Mr. Bailey. A strike resulted,
which, however, was arranged satisfac-
tory. Some hint that the old labor trouble
had more than a little to do with the de-
struction of the mill.

It was stated to-day that the sum of
$50,000 had been offered by American
parties for Ayer’s Pulp and Woolen Mills
at Lachute, on the north shore line of the
C.P.R. Railway. These mills have lately
been refitted with new machinery, and are
now considered amongst the best in that
section.

The extensive buildings of the E. B.
Eddy Co., at Hull, have been almost com-
pleted, and several are ready for occupa-
tion. The machinery for the large match
factory has arrived, and is being installed
this week. The machinery, which is of
the most approved type, was manufactured
in Barberton, Ohio. Part of the paper
machinery has also arrived, together with
the plant for the saw mill. Itis expect-
ed that the buildings will all be completed in
two months. In a month's time the match
factory, saw mill and wood-working es-
tablishment will be fitted up and ready
for active operations. The buildings
differ considerably in style from those de-
stroyed in the fire, and all are being made
as fire-proofas possible. The large addi-
tion to the sulphite mills has also been
completed, and is now being fitted with
the latest machinery.

Rey. Father Laniel, a missionary priest
who works about Barriers Post, 200
miles north of the Gatineau district, states
that the lumbermen have penetrated the
northern wilds, and will carry on extensive
operations for the first time during the
coming season. The growth of pine, the
missionary states, is very good, though
rather stunted on account of the severity
of the climate. Much ofthe timber, when
cut down, although promising a good cut,
is found to be defective, being decayed.

Mr. W. C. Edwards, M.P., the well
known lumber king, will again contest
Russell County in the Liberal interests,
with a good prospect of re-election. Mr.
George H. Perley, another well known
lumberman, may run in the Conservative
interests in Argenteuil County.

Mr. Wm. Bowden, bookeeper of the
Hull Lumber Company, at Ottawa a gentle-
man well and favorably known in lumber
circles, was elected Provincial Prior of the
Knights Templars, for the districts of
Ottawa and Kingston at the convention
just held in the latter city. Before elec-
tion Mr. Bowden held the office of Grand
Constable.

Mr. W. H. McAuliffe, lumber merchant,
of Ottawa, has established yards and office
at the corner of Duke and Britannia sts.,
near the Chaudiere. Mr. McAuliffe’s
former place of business was on Catherine
street, near Bank street.

Ottawa, Sepsember 1oth, 1900.

_——————
THE GLASGOW MARKET.

Allison, Cousland & Co.'s monthly timber
market report of September ist reviews
the Glasgow market as follows :

Business during the past month has been
in a satisfactory condition. Stocks in first
hands are light. Imports have been mod-
erate, and consisted largely of spruce.
Most parcels were disposed of ex quay at
good figures. Prices, all round, are very
firm, and likely to continue, the only com-
plaint being that some merchants do not
take full advantage of their preseat posi-
tion, and, having purchased cheaper earlier
in the season, are content to sell to con-
sumers at prices they may yet find it
difficult to replenish themselves at. From
all accounts the shipbuilding trade is now
awakening from the last few months de-
pression, and many new orders are re-
ported. During the month 33,620 tons of
shipping were launched, as compared with
37,816 tons last year, and the new work is
estimated at 70,000 tons, as against 43,-

ooo tons at this time last year.

Bircu.— Stocks are heavy, and the
market is decidedly weaker. 15 to 16
inch wood is quoted at 17d to 20d per c. ft.

AsH.—Several parcels have arrived per

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

In another column will be found a
report of 2 meeting of the Lumbermen’s
Association of Ontario held in Toronto
last week. ‘This meeting was called “for
the purpose of considering. the mar-
ket situation. The figures presented by
the secretary showed that, from a statis-
tical standpoint, the pine market’ may be
said to be strong. Ona the other hand, it
must be admitted that the demand is far
from satisfactory, and that the quan-
tity of stock purchased for fall and
winter delivery 1s small. After a careful
study of the situation, the conclusion was
reached at this meeting to adhere to
present prices. It seems to be the opin-
10n of manufacturers that the demand will
improve at an early date, as the stocks
held by retailers and consumers are light.
At the present time there is a sort of dead-
lock between manufacturer and consum-
er. The former seems confident that
present prices wil] ‘be maintained, while
the consumer apparently believes that
lower prices will rule, or at least is
willing to await developments. In the
face of these conditions, the dealer is
practically doing nothing. Tne probabil-
ity of any material break in -prices is, in
our opinion, very remote, when the cost
of producing lumber is considered. The
position of hardwoods is not quite as
favorable as that of pine, but a; the
furniture and other factories using hard-
wood Jumber as raw material are in a
prosperous condition, an improved de-
mand in the near future is anticipated.
In Toronto, txto and 12 inch mill cull
stocks are selling, wholesale, at $14-50,
mill cull sidings at $14.00, and 1, 1% and
1% inch box at $15.50. Shingles are
slightly weaker, No. 1 white pine selling
at $2.50 to $2.60, and No. 2 at $1.60 to
$1.70. No.1 lath, 14 inch, is worth from

$2.60 to $2.75, No. 2 $2.25, and inch
Norway $2.50.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The situation in respect to spruce lum-
ber presents few new features from last
week. Onthe whole, the outlook is a
little more favorable, there being an in-
crease in the number of enquiries from
the Eastern States. Freight rates, how-
ever, continue to cause the shipper much
uneasiness, and the supply of tonnage
has become no greater. New Brunswick
cedar shingles are selling moderately at
$2.75 for extras, and $2.35 to $2.50 for
clears on Boston rate of freight. Lath
are steady.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

_ A more hopeful view of the outlook for
fall trade is now taken by lumber dealers,
based on the fact that in Manitoba and the
Territories the crop’ prospects are
better than -had been anticipated, and
that the damage by rain has not
been serious. Building operations are
proceeding favorably. In British Colum-
bia the trade is in a prosperous condition,
and the quantity of lumber exported this
season promises to exceed that of any
previous year. Fourteen vessels sailed
for foreign destinations from British
Columbia mills during the month of
August, six being from Chemainus, five
from Moodyville, and three from Hast-
ings, carrying over 12,000,000 feet of
lumber. Several vessels are ' chartered
to load during September and Octobet,
notwithstanding that freight rates are
high.
UNITED STATES.

The strike of miners in the Pennsylvan-
ia coal regions his not tended to improve
the position of the lumber market, as it
is feared that it may interfere with indus-
trial development. For the present. con-
sumers of lumber are going slow and
purchasing only for the requirements of
the near future. The downward trend of
prices, however, seems to have been
checked, and manufacturers and whole-
sale dealers have decided to patiently
wait for the fall demand, which they be-
lieve will soon present itself. The stocks
at manufacturing points are not large,
and a fair demand would soon make in-
roads upon the available supply. Inform-
ation from Albany is to the effect that box
and the cheaper grades of pine weakened
slightly early in September, but that the
better grades are firm. A slight weak-
ness in lath is also reported. Spruce
lumber, particularly of the coarser grades
for building purposes, is strengthening,

In New York city, 2-inch stock is held at
a range of $14 to $16, and the 6 to 8-inch
cargoes at $13 to $14.50, as compared
with $12 to $14 one month ago. Spruce
frames, Io and 12 inch, are held at $16 to
SGP

Hardwoods generally are reported to
be dull. The supply has been steadily
increasing for some time, and in the ab-
sence of an active demand, the tendency
of the market has been to weaken.
Prices are governed entirely by the quan-
tity of the different kinds and grades of
stock which the dealer has in his yard,

GREAT BRITAIN,

The import of wood goods into the
United Kingdom last year was unusually
heavy, being for the first seven months
4,176,846 loads. For the same period
this year the import has been 4,256,125
loads, or 79,279. loads. more.than last
year. In’ the face of this large import
and a rather quiet demand, it is a ques-

‘tion whether the market will maintain its

current strength. The fact that freight
rates are still climbing up is likely to be
of advantage in keeping the market firm.
A comparison of the figures showing the
stocks at the leading ports indicates that
the stock of Baltic deals, battens and
boards is considerably larger than at the
corresponding period last year, while
Canadian pine deals and battens show a
decrease of over 300,000 pieces at London
and 8,000 standards at Liverpool. The
outlock for pine deals has improved, and
so far the supply has scarcely been ade-
quate to meet the wants of the trade. In
spruce deals the situation is different, the
stock at London being 200,000 pieces, and
at Liverpool 6,000 standards greater than
on August 31st, 1899. Prices of spruce
deals are slightly weaker, although it is
believed that the market will recover as
the winter approaches. Transactions are
reported at about £7 7s 6d to £7 11s 6d
c.f. Liverpool for St. John specification.
Square and waney timber is not active.
A Liverpool report refers to one or two
good sales in waney and square pine tim-
ber. At London oak and birch are be-
coming scarce, and an improvement in
the price of the latter may be expected.

The bark ‘‘Alf” has been chartered to load
lumber at Bridgewater, N.S., for Barrow, at
57s 6d.

The bark ‘‘ W. W. Mclaughlin” has been
chartered by Clarke Bros. to load lumber at
Annapolis, N.S., for Buenos Ayres. The

WEEKLY EDITION.

ONTARIO LUMBERMEN’S ASSOCIATION.
At a meeting of the Lumbermen’s Associa-
tion of Ontario, held a few days ago in To-

ronto, when the statistics prepare by the

secretary were read, it was unanimously re-
solved that there was no present necessity to
reduce prices ; that the retail stocks on both

sides of the line were lower than ever reached
for a number of years, and that while the
demand may be delayed through political
agitation, it will come later. The conclusion
arrived at at a previous meeting, that there
was a shortage of 240 million feet, was con-
firmed, and it was shown that there is fully
300 million feet of a shortage in the Georgian
Bay and including Eastern Michigan points,
and taking the output of the mills of Eastern
Michigan.

Further, it was pointed out that the demand
from the English market was active and likely
to increase; that the conditions were never
more favorable for an advance in price than at
present. This applies to the Minnesota and
Wisconsin district, as well as to Michigan and
Ontario.

Mr. Robert Watt,
up the question of hardwood prices. From
statistics presented, the opinion was arrived at
that manufacturers’ present prices should be

maintained.

THE LIVERPOOL MARKET.

The arrivals from British North America
during the past month, says Farnworth & Jar-
dine’s wood circular, have been 62,505 tons
register, against 67,025 tons register during the

corresponding month last year, and the
aggregate tonnage [Oo this date from all

places during the years 1898, 1899 and 1900
has been 325,432, 359741 and 363,675 tons
respectively. The business of the past month
has been on an extensive scale, but owing to
the restricted quay accommodation it has been
conducted with great difficulty. The arrivals
nave been heavy and the deliveries large, but
stocks of some of the leading articles are. ac-
cumulating, and recent sales show weakness.
Freights rule high, and may tend to check im-
ports, which is very desirable.

CANADIAN Woops. — PINE TIMBER.—
Waney has been imported moderately, and for
the most part has gone direct into consumption.
Prime wood is in good demand, prices are
very firm, and stocks are light ; 2nd class has
received more attention, but the demand is
limited. Square has also been imported mod-
erately, but there is little improvement in the
demand to report, and stocks are sufficient.
Red pine has arrived more freely, the demand
is quiet, but stocks are not too large. OAK.—
The arrivals consist chiefly of first class wood
on contract ; there has been rather more en-
quiry, prices are firm, and the stock is fairly
moderate. ELM continues in request, and the
import of about 350 loads goes largely direct
into consumption ; values are very high, and
the stocks are moderate. ASH. —There has
been more enquiry, stocks are light, values
steady. PINE Drats.—The arrivals have
again been on a moderate scale, and the de-
liveries have fairly kept pace ; stocks are re-
duced to about 7,800 standards, as compared
with 15,600 standards for the corresponding
month last year ; prices are firm. RED PINE
DEALS continue in fair demand at firm rates.

New BRUNSWICK AND Nova SCOTIA SPRUCE

AND PINE DEALS.--The arrivals during the past
month have again been very large, viz., 27,700
standards, against 24,265 standards for the
corresponding month Jast year ; there has been
a good consumption, but the stock is now too
heavy, and, notwithstanding high rates of
freight, and difficulty in securing tonnage,
sales are more difficult to effect, and the latest
transactions have been at lower values. PINE
DEALS—The demand has improved, prices are
firmer and stocks are light.

Bircu.—Of logs, chiefly from the lower
ports, the arrivals have been too heavy, de-
liveries have been fair, but stocks are sufficient
and values lower. Planks have been imported
much too freely, and, although there has been
a fair demand, prices have declined and stocks
are now ample.

OREGON AND BRITISH COLUMBIAN PINE.
__The market is still bare, though a cargo is
shortly due which should meet ready sale.

The sales during the past month have been
as follows : QUEBEC Pr1nE—Waney, 2nd class,
18 in. x 23 feet lin. at 2s 3d per cubic foot.

BircH TiMBER.—Quebec—17 in., at 19d
per cubic foot. St. Jonn—By auction, 153 in.
average, at 173d per cubic foot. Planks, from
£7 15s to £8 per standard.

Quersec Ping Deats-Chiefly or merchants’
account.

Spruce DEALS—St. John, at about £7 7s
6d to £7 11s 3d per standard c,i.f., according
to specification. Lower Port, by auction, at
an average of about £7 10s per standard, ex
quay.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

The determination of lumber manufac-
turers to prevent prices from going any
lower seems to have become more general.
Reports from all sections of the province
tell of a disposition to keep prices up to
their present basis. Only ina few excep-
tional cases, where peculiar circumstances
exist, is stock being offered at what might
be called cut prices. Some manufacturers
appear to have advanced their prices, and
are asking for stock at the mill almost as
much as can be obtained wholesale in
Toronto. This reflects a tendency towards
higher prices. The demand for lumber,
on the other hand, is not improving in any
perceptible degree, and it is probable that
a quiet trade will be experienced until after
the elections in Canada and the United
States. In Toronto quotations for shingles
are $2.65 for XXX and $1.75 for XX, with
a light demand at these prices.

By a typographical error in our pricelist
last week, the quotation for siding mill
culls was given as $12, whereas it should
have read $14:

A backward trade is still reported in
hardwoods. Themanufacturing industries
for some reason are keeping out of the
market, and retailers are buying only for
immediate requirements,

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,

Manufacturers and dealers admit that
the demand for lumber is slow, largely
due to the partial failure of crops in
Manitoba and the Territories. Some

dealers are reported to be cutting prices, .

and it has been found difficult to main-
tain the list. Manufacturers are taking
advantage of the present quiet period to
stock their yards, which had become
depleted by the active trade of last fall
and winter. The shingle trade of the
Pacific Coast has been somewhat depress-
ed, due to cutting of prices, but it is said
that manufacturers are now making quo-
tations which show a slight advance.
The export trade is prosperous. The
Russian Government is reported to have
a representative in the west coast investi-

gating the probabilities for the quick

delivery of 30,000,000 feet of lumber at

Vladivostock, but the report is not con-
firmed.

UNITED STATES.

The lumber consumer in the United

. States’ is'still’showing-httle disposition to
| buy for the fature.

While it is not
believed that prices will go much, if any,
lower, there is a feeling that an advance
is not likely to take place. The fact that
present orders are almost universally
accompanied by a request for quick de-
livery, shows that retail dealers are
carrying light stocks, and that a brisk
demand will be witnessed after the Presi-
dential election, if not before that time.
In the Buffalo market there is some com-
plaint of price-cutting on cutting-up
grades. Mill culls, 1 to 2 inch, are sell-
ing in Buffalo at $16.50, while at Albany
the quotation is $16. Box lumber is
quiet, and it is understood that most of
the factories in the Eastern States are
well supplied ; 1 inch, up to 9 inches in
width, is selling at from $17 to $19, with
one dollar added for 12 inch stock. The
spruce market is improving. Good car-
goes of wide lumber are held in New
York at $16 to $18. Stocks are said to
be exceedingly light in the New England
States. Hardwoods have not witnessed
an increased demand during the past
week. Most of the large consuming con-
cerns have considerable stocks on hand,
A meeting of the Wisconsin Hardwood
Lumbermen’s Association was held last
week, at which prices were reduced on
nearly allitems from one to two dollars
perthousand. An improved demand for
maple is reported. In Buffalo it is selling
at about $20. Brown ash is bringing $38
to $40 in Boston, maple $29 to $30, and
basswood $31.

The producers of red cedar shingles
have made a slight advance in prices, and
the shingle market is a little stronger.
Pine shingles are quoted at Saginaw at

$2.50 and $2.75 for clear butts, and $3.50
and $3.75 for XX XX stocks.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The Board of Trade returns, recently
issued, show the general trade of Great
Britain to be in a prosperous condition.
The lumber trade, while satisfactory, is
suffering from an accumulation of stock
on the docks at some of the principal ports,
particularly London. This is about the
only unfavorable feature of the market.
Prices are being kept up by high freight
rates, which have ‘practically put a check
on chartering. Some offers have beén
made by shippers for next year’s supply,
but it is understood that very few trans-
actions have taken place. Spruce deals
in wide'sizes are wanted.. Concerning a
cargo of spruce which recently arrived
in the Tyne, the Timber Trades Journal
says’; “The wood is. of. very--excellent
quality, and if all consignments were equal
to it, objections to the use of spruce would
vanish on every hand, This lot is sound,
clean, and full of nature, hard and close-
grained, and well cut. The spruce trade,
since its introduction four years ago, has
grown remarkably, and the question
would be one very difficult to answer,
“What would have happened if Baltic
alone had been relied on?’ The price
would certainly have been several pounds
a standard more, and it would have been
difficult to get sufficient of, say, 11x2¥%,
and other sizes.”

The Beck Manufacturing Company, of
Penetanguishene, Ont., had a raft of
about 80,000 logs tied up on the opposite
side of the bay from Penetang. A boom
chain broke and the logs went adrift.
Most of them have been ‘recovered, but
at considerable expense. The Georgian
Bay Lumber Company, of Waubaushene,
encountered a similar loss by the recent
severe storm of two weeks ago, which
caused the logs to jump over the boom.
It is said that 72,000 pieces went adrift.

ST

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LumgBermavn,)

The lumber business in Ottawa is brisk at
present, and shipments are being made to both
the English and American markets. J. R.
Booth is shipping to the firm of Robt. Cox &
Co., Liverpool, and Cox & Long, London,
and to different points in New York state.
The Hull Lumber Co. is also shipping exten-
sively to Watson & Todd, Liverpool, and
Dobell, Beckett & Co. Prices remain firm
with no advance. Gilmour & Hughson are
shipping more extensively to American points
than heretofore, and are also shipping con-
siderable quantities of deals to English firms.
The Hull Lumber Co. has arranged to operate
the Ritchie mill at Aylmer again next season.
As this company has sold its site and water
power, it is hardly likely it will rebuild the
mill destroyed in April at present. Last
season this company cut over 30,000,000 feet
in its one large mill. This season’s cut will
probably amount to 22,000,000 feet. “Both
Mason’s and Bronson & Weston’s mills are
being operated night and day by the firm,
which will. soon institute. the double shift .in
Ritchie’s mill at Aylmer also.

The prospects for next season are bright in
Ottawa lumber circles, and the ‘business
promises to be fully recovered from the blow
dealt by the fire at the beginning of the
season. All the mills will cut late this fall to
recover ground lost on account of the fire,
and to stock up fully for next season. Large
rafts of logs are being handled on the Ottawa
and Gatineau daily for the Ottawa mills.

Messrs. Laing and Rochester, foremen for
the Hull Lumber Co., were in the city this
week. Mr. Laing has charge of the firm’s
work on the limits bordering the Kippewa
river, while Mr. Rochester has charge on the
limits about the Ostoboning river, and both
gentlemen state that considerable difficulty is
being experienced this season with the class of
labor engaged for work on the limits. Good
men are scarce and wages high, and hence
men new to the work are being accepted and
sent on to fill the places. of men who have had
considerable experience and are better suited to
the work. Men are being engaged in Hull
and Ottawa daily for points as far west as
Sault Ste Mane. Many are going to Warren,
Sudbury, and other C. P. R. points, while
others are going to the Georgian Bay district
to work for American firms.

The present is one of the busiest seasons
known in the Maclaren mills at Bucking-
ham, on the Ottawa river. The cut for the
season will amount to 22,000,000 feet. Ship-
ments are being made to the English and

Liverpool, and the American shipments are
being sent to D. L. White & Co, of
Albany, N. Y.

Mr. J. R. Booth has about completed the

refitting of his lumber yards on the Hull side
of the Ottawa river. As the'fire made a clean“ —

sweep, it was found necessary to rebuild all
the platforms and tramways, whichfextend the
entire length of the yard.

The E. B. Eddy Co. expects to be turning
out matches from the new factory inside of
three weeks. The saw mill will also be
running in about the same time. The con-
struction work on the mills has been almost
completed, and the paper making machinery is
about ready for installation.

All the fumes at the Chaudiere destroyed
in the recent fire have been repaired. Mr.
J. R. Booth is having different water courses
enlarged to enable him to secure better water
power for his mills. He has not yet decided
whether he will build a pulp mill on the site
of the McKay flour mills or not.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
é ONTARIO.

A light demand and firm prices con-
tinue to charactetize the lumber market of
Ontario. That prices hold strong under
rather adverse influences is regarded as
an argument in favor of higher prices
eventually, and with a more active de-
mard it is believed that pine prices at
least will be advanced. Manufacturers
on this side of the line feel encouraged
by the decision of the lumbermen’s asso-
ciations in the United States to adhere
to present prices. For some time prices
of pine lumber in Ontario have been
stronger than in the United States, and
it has been feared that a break there
would cause prices on this side to respond
sympathetically, but this danger has now
been removed. A firm stand has been
taken in respect to lumber values, and
the trade will patiently await the expected
improvement indemand. Manufacturers
and dealers are carrying fair-sized stocks,
but this cannot be said of retailers and
consumers, who, with few exceptions, must
very soon replenish their supply. No
change in Ottawa and Toronto quotations
have been made this week. Some sales of
lath are said to have been made at a figure
slightly below our quotations, but we
believe that the average prices are $2.75
for No. t and $2.25 for No. 2.

Attention is now turning towards log-
ging operations. The difficulty in en-
gaging woodsmen has not been relieved,
and the cut of pine logs will likely be less,
both in the Ottawa and the Georgian Bay
districts, than last winter. Fewer hard-
wood logs also will be placed on the
market, as the prices are not likely to be
so tempting as last season, when the
competition among buyers of logs was so
keen that excessive prices were paid.
During the past summer the mill owners
have realizec the folly of paying more for
logs than they were really worth, and it
may serve as a lesson for future opera-
tions.

In some respects the spruce situation
has improved within the last week.
There has been a better demand from
the Eastern States, and prices there are
firmer on the indication of a more active
fall trade. Retail dealers are now begin-
ning to replenish their depleted stocks.
A moderate trade is doing in cedar
shingles at unchanged quotations.

Export business from the St. Lawrence
has been given another blow by a sharp
advance in insurance rates. The steam-
ship companies at Montreal have just
been advised that the rates have been
advanced to 3 shillings 4 pence on
steamers sailing from New York, and 17
shillings on steamers from Montreal.
This discrimination: is likely to prevent
any further chartering of lumber vessels
this fall.. Some chartering for next year
from the St. Lawrence has been done,
two boats having been fixed from Quebec
at 52s. 6d. but we understand
that there are boats in the market
on offer at 50s. Present rates from St.
John, N. B., to west coast of England are
about 67 shillings.

UNITED STATES.

A light trade in lumber continues
throughout the United States. What
improvement has taken place has been in
the east, where some disposition is show,
to stock up for fall and winter trade. The
main strength of the market 1s in respect
to prices, as at almost every point the
authorized lists are being maintained.
Following the meeting of Wisconsin
manufacturers reported last week, the
Mississippi Valley Lumbermen’s Associa-
tion held a meeting in Minneapolis, at
which it was decided to make no. reduc-
tion in lumber prices. This decision was
reached after making a careful study of
the situation, which showed that stocks
in the hands of manufacturers were some-
what depleted, and that the outlook for
business during the next year was
promising. The only change was in the
price of lath, which was reduced 50 cents,
making the price f. 0. b. Minneapolis $3
for white pine and $2.50 for mixed white
pine and Norway. In the Saginaw
valley it is reported that common stock is
a little lower, but that good white pine is
scarce and held at firm prices. Log run
stocks are worth $16 and upwards. At
Buffalo box grades are firmer. The
factories are working overtime, and there
is a good demand for box lumber at
$16.50, while some dealers are holding
this grade at $17. There is a scarcity of

the Albany list, barn boards being marked
down about one dollar per thousand.

The outlook for spruce is regarded as
decidedly favorable. In New York prices
have stiffened somewhat, from $18.50 to
$19.50 being an average quotation for
wide lumber, with special orders at $15
to $17. Hardwoods are showing a degree
of strength, although, as with pine, the
demand is light. Weakness in white ash
is reported, inch firsts and seconds
selling in the Buffalo market at $38.
Birch is strong at $28.

Dealers inthe Eastern States report a
good movement of red celar shingles,
which are selling at 50 cents less than
XXXX 18-inch pine. The latter are
quiet.

GREAT BRITAIN.

In London pine deals of first quality are
selling at £32 per standard, second quality
at £24 Ios, third quality at £14 ros, and
fourth quality at £11 10s. These prices
are the highest that have been reached
for some years. Notwithstanding, the
position of the market is such that
an advance of from £1 to 3os is predicted
before next spring. At auction sales first
pine deals have averaged about £29 per
standard. Spruce is equally firm, selling
at £11 58 for 3x11 second quality, £10 2s6d
for third, quality, and £9 tos for fourth
quality delivered at London. There is
considerably less stock of some classes
in first hands than last year, and holders
of such sizes as 3x9 and 3x11 inch in gocd
qualities are said tocommand the situation.
At Liverpool waney pine and elm are
wanted, and enquities are also in the mar-
ket for oak and square pine. Some good
sales of red pine are reported.

No business of any consequence has
-een closed for next year, althoughimport-
ers are feeling the freight market, and if
reasonable rates can be secured, consider-
able early business is expected.

FOREIGN.

Reports from South Africa state that
prices of timber have recently advanced
sharply. At Port Elizabeth the rise is from
8 to 12 cents per cubic foot. It is said
that British dealers have sold about 50,000
standards to that market. This, we
understand, has been chiefly Baltic stock.

The Sayre & Holley Lumber Company, St.
John, N. B., is applying for incorporation.

It is reported that negotiations are abou
completed for the purchase by a company o

the extensive lumbering business of Geo
Moffatt at Dalhousie, N. B.

DEMAND FROM THE EASTERN STATES,

At the present time, says the American
Lumberman, the eastern part of the country
seems to be producing the best results as far as
the lumber trade isconcerned. Inquiry and
actual shipments in the west are but moderate
in volume, although fully up to and perhaps
ahead of the ordinary season, but the contrast
is so marked with the trade of last year that
lumbermen are inclined to call it dull. The
result is an easy condition of prices and a hand-
to-mouth sort of business which is not particu-
larly stimulating.

The east, however, shows a decided im-
provement. The demand is good and in-
creasing. There is some disposition to stock
up for the late fall and winter trade and prices
are firmer. Not in many lines is there a
quotable advance ; but the lists are for the
most part being maintained and there is a

hardening tone to values which is gratifying to
all holders of lumber, and which is not object-
ed to by buyers, inasmuch as it is caused by an
improvement in conditions which beneficially
affects all alike. There is less heard in the
east about concessions in prices or anything of
that sort than in the west, and this is true even
in respect to white pine, though the white pine
situation generally is a strong one,

The eastern improvement 1s not confined to
to any particular line. It seems to affect all
sorts of lumber, whether for building or for
manufacturing use. It would not be strange
to find the east the leader in lumber values for
some months to come, for that locality has a
faculty of developing strength when least ex-
pected, or on the other hand, of showing
weakness when strength and activity charac-
terizes the central and western part of the
country.

THE BARBADOS MARKET.

CLAIRMONTE, Man & Co., in their cir-
cular of September 15th, say: There is

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

The past week has brought about no
material change in the lumber situation
in Ontario. Pine lumber is firm, with
hardwoods comparatively weaker. More
activity in shipping circles is observable,
due to a desire to move stock before the
close of navigation. In the Ottawa val-
ley red and white pine deals for the
British market are in good demand, and
In no grades are heavy stocks held. The
tendency of prices generally is strong,
with a slight weakness noticeable in the
lower grades. From the Georgian Bay
district considerable shipments have been
made to Michigan, where, on account of
the inability to obtain Canadian logs,
very little lumber has been. manufactur-
ed this year. The position-of the pine
market seems to be improving. Stocks
are by no means large, and the cut of
logs during the coming winter will likely
be less than last season, as the high cost
of labor and supplies will prevent a cer-
tain number of small operators from
going into the woods.

That hardwood prices are showing
weakness cannot be disputed. Some of
the smaller manufacturers have felt the
necessity of realizing, and consequently
have offered buyers concessions in the
matter of price. The large dealers, on the
other hand, are giving evidence of their
faith in the ultimate strength of the mar-
ket by refusing to lower theirasking prices,
Should they adhere to this position, it is
possible that the market may be sustain-
ed after temporary weakness. The
largest holders of stock in the Owen

- Sound and Wiarton district are asking

$13 to $14 for common and better maple,
$13 for inch common and better birch,
and $15 for common and better basswood.
A heavy stock of maple in this district is
reported. Hemlock lumber is showing
more life than any other class. The de-
mand is so brisk that sufficient stock can-
not Le obtained to supply orders, and
the tendency of prices on this lumber is
upwards. Shingles are inactive, while
there has been an increase in the number
of enquiries for lath.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The weather in Manitoba and the
Territories has been unfavorable for the
lumber trade. Buildings commenced in
the summer are nearing completion, and
few new undertakings are heard of. The
grain movement is light, and it seems
doubtful that the farmers will this year
undertake more than needed improve-

ments to their buildings.
a light demand, lumber prices are gener-
ally firm, but in Winnipeg some cutting
by one or two retail dealers is reported.
The export trade from British Columbia
is still hampered by chartering difficulties.
Freight rates have reached the highest
point attained for years without bringing
into the market any number of vessels.
UNITED STATES,

The Presidential campaign is exerting
an influence on the lumber business of
the United States. Orders are being
held back until after the election. There
is not, however, the stagnation which
usually characterizes Presidential years,
as the outconie of the election is regarded
as reasonably certain. On this account
lumber is being held at firm prices,
Some manufacturers in the Lake Superior
district have been offering a concession
in price equal to about one dollar per
thousand rather than carry the stock
over the winter. In the Duluth district
the supply of unsold lumber of the lower
grades is small, but the total stock is per-
haps a little above an average. At Buf-
falo the lower grades of pine are
stronger, No. 3 boards selling at $16.50
and box lumber at $17. Box stock is
said to be in short supply throughout the
Eastern States, although box makers are
fairly well supplied. A contrary condition
seems to exist in the Saginaw valley,
where box stock has weakened as a re-
sult of the falling off in demand. Mill culls
are selling in Ashland, Wis., at $10.50
to $11. There is a strong demand there
for Norway pine, which has recently ad-
vanced about fifty cents per thousand.
The outlook for spruce is good, and firm-
ness is noticeable in all grades. In New
York city wide timber is quoted at $10.

Hardwoods are moving satisfactorily.
White birch brings $28 at Buffalo, and
red birch $45 for inch firsts and seconds.
Increased enquiries are reported for
maple and basswood, while ash and elm
are quiet,

GREAT BRITAIN,

The prospects for next season’s busi-
ness are now being discussed in timber
trade circles in Great Britain. The pre-
sent high freight rates have thus far
interfered with new business, and no
contracts of importance are believed to
have been placed. That prices are now
comparatively high is also a factor which
has caused importers to exercise precau-
tion, as the effects of a declining market
next year would be disastrous to purchas-
ers of stock at the present basis. The

In the face of

opinion seems to prevail that prices next
year will be no higher than those ruling
throughout the season now drawing to a
close, while a slight reduction in some
lines is not improbable.

Pine and spruce deals are holding firm,
although the latter are not as strong as
they were a month ago. The results of
recent auction sales, when 3xII inch, 9
feet and up in length, brought £9 10s
per standard, shows that the wider sizes
are scarce and much in demand. At a
recent sale in Liverpool St. John spruce
sold on an average of £7 14s and 2d
per standard, which is a fair price for the
stock, which was not of the best quality.
Birch timver sold at from 16d per cubic
foot for 15 inch to 21d for 19 inch.

PINE LATH.

An improved demand has arisen during the
past fortnight for pine lath. At the head of
Lake Superior No. 1 lath is selling at from
$2 to $2.25 per thousand, and No. 2 from
$1.50 to $1.75, in cargo lots. On the lower
Jakes No. 1 is selling at from $3 to $3.25.
There has recently developed a scarcity in No.
I lath. Not only is there a lighter stock than
was expected, but it is actually so limited asto
threaten a scarcity before next spring. The
scarcity prevails on Lake Huron, Lake Michi-
gan and to some ‘extent cn Lake Superior.
The increased output of the past season was
largely in No. 2 lath, which is now about
fifty cents lower than No. 1. In the Chicago
market No. 1 is selling in the neighborhood of
$2.75, in Tonawanda $2.90, while in Toronto
the quotation is $2.75 for No. 1 and $2.25
for No. 2 lath, with Norway selling midway
between these figures.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
Cedar shingles are selling at from $2 to
$2.10 for extras in the Chicago markets.

The ship Monrovia sailed last week
from Halifax, N.S., for River Mersey,
with a cargo of 1,300,000 feet of deals,

The Red Cliff Lumber Company, of
Ashland, Wis., recently sold to Vander-
beek & Sons, of Jersey City, 1,500,000
feet of No. 3 boards at $13 per thousand.

The C.P.R. have given a contract to G.
H. Strevel, of Winnipeg, to supply 250,000
ties. A similar contract for 150,000 ties
has been given to J. J. Egan, of Winni-
peg.

At Duluth lumber prices rule as fol-
lows: No. 4 boards, {9.50 to $10.50 ;
No. 3, $11.50 to $12.50; log run, No, 3
and better, $13.50 te $15 ; log run, No. 2

At Buffalo first-class dry elm flour
barrel staves are selling at $8 to $8.50;
six foot coiled hoops at $9 to $9.50 ;

WEEKLY EDITION.

The receipts at Buffalo this season up
to October 1st have been 112,003,000 feet
of lumber, 98,326,000 shingles, and 3,017,-
ooo lath. The amount tc same period
last year was 154,294,000 feet of lumber
and 99,126,000 shingles.

During September there was shipped
from the Saginaw river only 2,065,000
feet of lumber. The shipments from the
opening of navigation to October I were
7,242,000, while the receipts during the
same period were 52,350,507 feet.

The Fredericton Boom Co. has rafted
thus far this season 51,073 joints of tim-
ber, containing 123,477,179 feet. This
included 107,833,259 feet of spruce, 3,418,-
880 feet ot pine, 12,163,810 feet of cedar,
51,230 feet of hemlock, and 35 tons of
timber.

The demand for Norway pine is said
never to have been better in the Ashland
market than at present. Only three or
four operators have any quantity in stock.
Prices sagged off about fifty cents two
months ago, but they are now back at
their old figures. -

G. T. McNutt, of Lower Stewiacke,
N.S., has purchased the timber on the
Aspotogan Mountain. Much of this tim-
ber was damaged by fire last spring, and
it is Mr. McNutt’s intention to cut it
immediately. He expects to get about
3,000,000 feet.

Following are current quotations for
shingles in the Tonawanda market: 16

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.

ONTARIO.

If the Ottawa valley can be taken as
the barometer of the lumber industry of
the province, the outlook for pine lumber
is decidedly promising. From that dis-
trict an active movement of stock is
reported, at prices slightly in advance of
those ruling one month ago. One manu-
facturer reports the saie last week of one
million feet of lumber at the highest price
of the season. Almost every grade of
pine is moving, with a heavy demand for
box stock and for dimension Io inches
and up in width. The only weakness
pertains to the lower grades, and chfs is
far from approaching depression. Stocks
in the hands of manufacturers are believed
to be fully 25 per cent. less than at same
period last year. In the Georgian Bay
district there is a larger accumulation of
stock 1n proportion to the production, but
it cannot be said that the stock in any
locality 1s excessive, and with a revival in
demand, prices would be likely to ad-
vance. In Western Ontario the fall trade
has been backward. Some members of the
trade do not expect much improvement
until after the turn of the year. The
statistical position of pine lumber, how-
ever, is strong, and manufacturers have
decided to take full advantage of the
situation and keep up prices even in the
face of a slaw demand. The stocks of
retailers and consumers are known to be
light, and sooner or later they must re-
plenish their supplies.

The hardwood market is in a somewhat
uncertain position. The stock of hard-
woods at the mills is larger than last year,
while very little buying is being done.
Perhaps the only exception to this is
basswood, which is in light supply. The
larger manufacturers have not receded
from their position and are holding out for
full prices.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,

Recent rains in New Brunswick have
interfered with the lumber business. Some
of the railroads have been tied up, mak-
ing it impossible to ship lumber. The
spruce market, although not active, is
showing a little more strength, due to an
improved demand and firmer prices in
the Eastern States. Most of the mills
have disposed of their export stock, but
much of it has not yet been moved owing
to the difficulty which shippers have en-
countered in effecting vessel charters at
reasonable rates. As this stock is likely
te be held over until the spring, there is

considerable uncertainty as to the prices
which will rule next season. It may be
said, however, that spruce lumber is each
year gaining a stronger foothold in foreign
markets, and that if manufacturers guard
against an over-production, there is little
doubt but that the product of the spruce
mills will always find a market at fair
prices. White cedar shingles are selling
at $2.75 on Boston rate ef freight. Some
large orders have been placed, as there
is a likelihood that this price will be ad-
vanced in the near future.
UNITED SVATES.

The lumber transactions of the past
week would seem to indicate that the result
of the Presidential election 1s being dis-
counted. There has Leen a noticeable
revival in trade, and consuming industries
which until recently kept out of the mar-
ket are now buying with some liberality.
For the first week in October the sales of
lumber in the Duluth market reached
10,000,000 feet. A certain portion of
lumber dealers and consumers _ will
probably not enter the market to buy
stock until after the election, but other
buyers believe that lumber can _ be
obtained cheaper at the present time than
after the election, and are acting accord-
ingly. Pine prices are firm, with the
better grades inclined to advance slightly.
Some weakness is reported in certain low
grades. No. 1 barn boards, for instance,
are selling one dollar lower in the Albany
market. At Buffalo they are also in large
supply and weak, while the stock of the
better grades of lumber is not particularly
large. In the Chicago market the greatest
weakness pertains to low grade inch.
It is said that some common inch has
been sold in that market as low as $14.50,
but about $15.50 is the average quotation.
Reports from the Eastern States tell of
firmness in the spruce market. In New
York northern spruce has advanced one
dollar per thousand, firsts and seconds sell-
ing at $20, while eastern spruce is about $2
higher. Hardwoods are firm as the
result of a better inquiry, but as yet there
is no ncticeable improvement in demand.
Plain oak and birch have been more
enquired for.

The position of the lath market is 1m-
proving. No.1 white pine is selling in
Buffalo at $3, mixed at $2.75,. and No. 2
at $2.50. In Chicago No. 1 is quoted at
$2.75 and mixed from $2.40 to $2.50. An
improvement is reported in the demand
for shingles. A scarcity of red cedar
shingles has developed, which has had an
effect on the other grades. Some buyers

are said to have been unable to find a
sufficient quantity to meet their require-
ments.

GREAT BRITAIN.

Statistics are to hand showing the
stocks of timber in the public docks at
the leading British ports on September
30th of this year as compared with the
same period one year ago. Taken as a
whole, the figures do not reflect a very
satisfactory condition of the trade, inas-
much as the stocks generally are larger
than last year. The receipts of North of
Europe timber have been very heavy.
From Canada, however, there has been a
light import, and the figures of this trade
are more promising. In the London
docks there is a heavier stock this year of
spruce deals and battens, oak, birch, elm,
ash and pine timber, but pine deals and
battens show a decrease of nearly 500,000
pieces. At Liverpool the stock of pine
and spruce deals is about the same as last
year, but oak, elm, ash, and waney and
square pine timber are in smaller supply.
The Glasgow showing is more favorable.
Quebec deals are about half the stock of
Jast year, while waney pine, red pine, oak
and elm timber are considerably less.
The market is firm, and prices quoted by
the leading brokers are almost without
change. In timber, oak seems to lead in
point of firmness, selling at about three
shillings per cubic foot for first-class
stock. Spruce prices, which receded
slightly towards the end of September,
have now recovered lost ground. Little
new business for next season has been
done, and it is difficult to forecast what
the opening prices will be. .The selling
season is likely to open later than last
year. 2

THE GLASGOW MARKET.

Messrs. Wright, Graham & Co. in their
timber market review of 30th September, re-
view the Glasgow market as follows :

Since our last report trade here has been in
a somewhat peculiar condition. The general
impression has been that prices would fall
during the summer, and we think this cer-
tainly would have been the case had not
freight room been so difficult to obtain, and
rates so high, which have prevented many
consigment shipments from being forwarded.
As itis, prices for most descriptions of pine
and spruce continue firm, imports having been
only sufficient to cover early requirements.
The demand is very limited on account of
building trades being very dull. The high
price of material and high wages have curtail-
ed housebuilding to such an extent that prac-
tically no speculative building is now being
undertaken. Although there is a fair amount
of work on hand in the shipbuilding yards, it
is chiefly of the ‘‘tramp” steamer type, in the
construction of which very little timber is
used. The shipbuilders who build passenger
boats and undertake Government work are
very bare of orders; therefore the timber
trade is not likely to benefit much in the near
future by shipbuilder’s orders.

Hardwoods are also very slow of sale, the
cabinetmaking trade being very dull indeed ;
so that we may say that although prices for
most descriptions of woods keep fairly firm,
the trade as a whole is in an unsatisfactory
condition, as the volume of business doing is
on a very limited scale in comparison to» what
was done during the last few years. It is
therefore very probable that should many
heavy consignments be made they would oc-
casion an unusually severe fall in values.

Waney Boarpwoop.—The stock on hand
is being held for high prices, and the demand
is limited. Prime large wood is quoted at
from 2s 9d to 3s; second-class wood at from
1s gd to 2s 2d per cubic foot.

RED PiNE.—There is not much’ demand.
First-class wood is quoted at Is 10d to 2s
2d; second-class from Is 6d to Is 8d per cubic
foot.

Oaxk.—There is a good stock on hand, and
demand is quiet. Price—2s 10d to 3s 3d per
cnbic foot for large prime wood; smaller and
second quality at from 2s to 2s 4d per cubic
foot.

ELm.—The stock is light and firmly held,
prime wood of large average being offered at
3s 3d to 3s 6d per cubic foot.

AsH.—The demand has been good, and
consignments have met with ready sale on
arrival. Price—2s 2d to 2s 4d per cubic
foot.

BircH.—The import has been overdone,
and in consequence prices have fallen, Sever-
al parcels of 300 to 600 logs 15 to 16 inch
average have sold at 1s 34d to 1s 4d per cubic
foot, and quite a number of consignments
have hadto be stored. Sales are only pos-
sible at low prices, and shipments should be
kept back.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

The past week has witnessed no material
change in the situation in respect to white
pine lumber. An active movement of
stock from the leading pine centres 1s re-
ported.
cars to move the stock has been met with,
but this drawback has not been felt near-
ly so keenly as it was last fall. The weak
feature of the market is the lower grades.
The daily press of the city of Ottawa an-
nounce that prices of some classes of
lumber have declined $3 per thousand
during the past month. Information re-
ceived at this office from the Ottawa val-
ley seems to disprove this statement.
The classes of lumber which have shown
weakness have been pine strips, shorts
and mill culls. These grades are selling
about one dollar per thousand lower than
they were towards the end of October.
Good strips are quoted at from $26 to $28,
shorts at $22 to $30, and mill culls at $11
to $13.50. Lath were also marked down
last week to $2 to $2.50 for No. 1 and $1.50
to $1.75 for No. 2, but at these figures there
is a good demand and no further tendency
towards weakness. Shingles are firm.

The hardwood manufacturers are still
maintaining their views as to prices, al-
though the demand has not improved per-
ceptibly. Itis now so near the Presiden-
tial election that there is a disposition to
adhere firmly to prices in the hope that a
policy of stocking up will be generally
adopted by dealers and consumers within
the next month.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

A healthier tone tothe spruce market
is reported. Prices of spruce deals at
Quebec range about $50 per standard for
first quality, $35 for second quality, $32 for
third quality, and $28 for fourth quality.
Hemlock lumber is also firm, selling at
$13 to $15 on Boston rate of freight.
Cedar shingles are selling as low as $2.65
to $2.75 for extra, $2.30 to $2.40 for clear,
and $2 to $2.10 for second clear. Lath
are worth $2.65 to $2.75 for 15¢1nch, and
$2.35 to $2.50 for 1% inch, on Boston
freight rate.

UNITED STATES.

The sales of lumber thus far in October
have been heavier than in the previous
month, but it is still apparent that a policy

In some instances a shortage of,

of precaution wil! be exercised by lumber
buyers until after the Presidential election.
While white pine prices are comparative-
ly steady, some cutting has been indulged
in on low grade stock. Inthe Chicago
market cull lumber is showing weakness;
thé) demand has been quiet, while the
production this season was quite equal to,
if tot above the average. Cull inch 1s
being offered‘in cargo lots in that market
at $12.50. Eastern wholesale dealers re-
port that hand-to-mouth buying is being
followed by retail dealers and consumers
in the New England and New York
States. At Buffalo there is a fair quantity
of the higher grades of pine in the hands
of dealers, but box stock 1s mostly held by
the factories. Spruce lumber is firm, and
at Boston, spruce boards planed one
sidé, are said to be selling from fifty cents
to one dollar above the regular list.
There is a comparatively light demand
for the hardwoods. Sales of elm are
being made in Buffalo at $26, with a
slight tendency to cut below this figure,
Basswood is scarce and steady. In Bos-
ton elm 1s quoted at $31, and maple at $28
for 1 inch and $30 for 1%, 14and 2 inch.
Basswood sells at about the same figures

The import of wood goods into London
this season has been abnormally large.
Based on this condition, peedictions have
been made that the fall would witness con-
siderably lower prices. This, however,
has not been the case, and as the import
season is now practically over, there is
little reason to expect any fall in prices,
and particularly of pine and spruce deals.
It is now predicted that higher prices will
be realized before next year’s shipments
commence to arrive. Thestrength of the
spruce market is well illustrated by the
following, taken from the Timber Trades
Journal: “Spruce deals, which went
down in August owing to the heavy im-
port, have recovered. We know of con-
tracts being made from various New
Brunswick and Nova Scotian ports at a
good advance. Very little possibility ex-
ists, as far as can be seen, for any other
position than an increase in values until
the opening of next season. The small
quantity of 3x11 inch spruce to be had
now is making the price of this dimension
such as has not been known for many
years.” At Manchester, Liverpool and
other ports there is a scarcity of 3x11 inch
and 4x9 inch spruce, for which high prices
are being offered. There is much uncer-
tainty as to the prices which will rule for

early shipment next season, and it is not
probable that much buying will be done
until after the turn of the year.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

Thompson & Avery, of Sharbot Lake,
Ont., have been shipping large quantities
of lumber to the United States market.

The German bark Silo, which took a
large cargo of lumber from Chemainus,
B.C., for Liverpool, England, arrived at
her destination on October 6th.

Lumber shipments from Montreal last
week included 219 standards of deals by
the steamer Bray Head, 80 standards by
the Bengor Head, and 500 standards by
the Manchester City.

At Birmingham, Eng., St. John spruce
deals are quoted at £9 for 3x7, £9 5s for
3x9, and £11 5s for 3x11in, First quality
pine deals bring £30 per standard, and
second quality from £15 to £23, the
latter for wide sizes.

At Ashland, Wis., No. 3 pine boards
are selling at $13, No. 2 at $15, and No.
I at $17. Norway piece stuff brings
$10.50to $13. Star shingles are held at
$2.25, pine lath at $2.25, norway lath at $2,
and mixed at $1.75.

It is stated that $5 per thousand feet is

‘being paid for hemlock logs at the mills

in the western part of the northern penin-
sula of Michigan. This is a sharp
advance over the prices paid for hemlock

logs a few years ago, and is indicative of.

the growing popularity of that timber.

In Chicago 12-inch No. 1 and 2 stock
boards are scarce and firm in price, while
low grade boards are weaker. Piece stuff
is off $2 to $2.50 from the highest point,
but there are no present indications of its
going any lower. Lath area little firmer
im price and a scarcity seems to be de-
veloping.

Five blocks of timber limits in the
township of Dana, Nipissing district,
have just been disposed of by the Ontario
Government for the sum of $61,275. The
lots comprise two and one-half square
miles, of which one lot, or about one-half
square mile, has been burnt over. The
price obtained for the limits is regarded
as very satisfactory.

Concerning an auction sale held by
Hodson, Mabbs & Company, London,
England, the Timber Trades Journal says:
The unsorted spruce planks at £11, con-
sidering ends were prominent, was a re-
markably good sale; but these were
exceptions to the general result, which,
taken altogether, was far from satisfactory
tosellers. The prepared stuff seemed to
be in better demand than the other sorts,
flooring sizes realizing comparatively
strong prices, 13x11 making 22s. per
square, and others in proportion. Narrow
matching, however, is still the weak place
in the brokers’ specifications.

Paul Stein, saw mill, Denbigh, Ont., is
reported to have assigned.

WEEKLY EDITION.

OCTOBER 24, 1900

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CanapA LUMBERMAN.)

There is a feeling of expectancy in the local
lumber market, consequent upon the. approach-
ing American elections. The presidential
election interferes seriously with the export
lumber trade from Ottawa, but not to the same
extent this year as in former campaigns. Con-
siderable lumber is being shipped by barge,
and the railroads are also getting a share of the
business. The selection of a president is
looked forward to with interest by local
shippers, for when this point is settled,
business interests wil! regain the proper
attention, and the work of stocking up the
American yards for the winter trade will be
taken up again with vigor. The prospects
are good and shipments by rail will increase.

There has been a slight decline in the prices
of one or two grades of lumber. A number of
American buyers were chary about stocking
up at the prices that ruled all summer, and
this, combined with the slack movement
caused by the elections, has brought prices
down a notch. However, the local shippers
are confident that an upward movement will
set in again. Pine strips, shorts and mill culls
have declined in price, and lath is also easier.
No change, however, has been experienced in
the better grades.

All the Ottawa mills will cut late this fall to
satisfy the shortage caused by the April fire.
Mr. J. R. Booth is piling on all his available
ground, which includes the extensive yards
refitted since the fire.

Ex-Mayor Bingham, who controls the entire
drive on the Gatineau, has got his logs down
to the Ottawa without a hitch. Few of the
logs were stranded, but trouble was caused
early in the season by the high water. The
drive of logs this season was the largest for
some years back.

There is no change in the labor market as
affected by the lumber industry. Men are
being sent from Ottawa to Brule Lake for the
Shepherd Lumber Co., to Trout Creek and
South River for the South River Lumber Co.,
and to the Georgian Bay district for the
Saginaw Lumber Company.

Mr. E. C. Grant, manager of the Ottawa
Lumber Co., has returned from a business
trip to Scotland and England. He reports
prospects good for the Canadian trade. This
company is also shipping to Germany.

Report has it that Mr. J. Carling Kelly, the
well-known company promoter of Ottawa, is

about to float another scheme, this one affect-.

ing the lumber interests. It is proposed to
erect new saw works in Ottawa, where
Swedish steel will be used exclusively.

Mr. John Ferguson, M. P., of Renfrew, the

isa son of Mr. N. Dyment, the well-known
lumber man of Barrie, Ont.

Machinery is arriving daily at the Chaudiere
from American foundries for the E. B. Eddy
Company. The paper and match making
machinery is being installed with all speed,
and it is expected that the works will be running
full time before the end of the year.

A large gang of men has been placed ,at
work clearing up the site of the McKay
Milling Co.’s mill at the Chaudiere. It is
stated that Mr. J. R. Booth will build a
planing or pulp mill on the sie, work on the
building to be proceeded with this fall.

Mr. George H. Perley, the well-known
lumberman of Ottawa, has been nominated
by the Liberal - Conservatives of Russell
county, to contest the riding at the approach-*
ing election. His opponent is Mr. W. C.
Edwards, M. P., another of the Ottawa
lumber kings.

Ottawa, October 20th, 1900.

THE BARBADOS MARKET.

Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Company say
of the Barbados market :

There is still a good demand for both spruce
and white pine lumber, as our yards are
moderately stocked. Latest local sales, made
over a month ago, were, white pine, $23.37
for first quality, and $17.37 for second quality;
spruce, $20. 10 for first and $16.10 for second
quality. The cargo ex Boston Marine, arrived
sth inst., was sold for Demerara, at $26 for
merchantable, and $22 for second quality,
and the cargo per Harry has gone to Dem-
erara.

Gaspe cedar shingles are in full supply ;
we placed 187 M large, ex Success, at $5.07
per M. Other sales ex same vessel were made
at $4.56 for large, and $3.03 for small. The
cargo, ex Blenheim, in store from last season,
has since been sold at $3 per M. Cedar
laying, $2.03 for a cargo of 485 M ex New
Dominion. Spruce laying $2.00,

September 27th: Brigt. “Harry,” from
Yarmouth N. S., with 67 M feet white pine
and spruce, 27 M shingles.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

The pine lumber market embodies
features both of weakness and strength.
The fall demand has been quite back-
ward, and some of the smaller holders
are showing anxiety to reduce their
stocks. They are willing to give con-
cessions in the matter of price rather
than carry the lumber over the winter.
The larger manufacturers, on the other
hand, have not receded in the slightest
degree from their decision, arrived at
earlier in the season, to hold their lumber
for fair prices. If, after the elections in
the United States and Canada, the de-
mand should not expand so as to absorb
the greater portion of the stock on the
market, it 1s the avowed policy of the
manufacturers to pile their cut and carry
it over the winter. It is yet too early to
speak definitely regarding the log cut of
the coming winter, but the indications
are that it will be smaller than last
season. There is a strong demand for
hemlock lumber, and the cut of this
timber will likely be increased this
winter.

From point of demand hardwoods have
not improved within the past week. The
movement of stock is slow. A meeting
of the hardwood manufacturers of Wiarton
and vicinity was held at Palmerston last
week, the object of which was to size up
the situation in respect to the quantity of
unsold stock at the mills. We are in-
formed that the decision of the meeting
was that the stock of hardwood lumber
is by no means excessive, and that a
few weeks of active demand’ would
take care of the entire supply. The
heaviest stocks held are of maple and
elm, prices of which are somewhat irregu-
lac. The opinion of the meeting was in
favor of holding firmly to present asking
prices.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The shipping season from St. Lawrence
will soon be over. Lumber intended
to have been shipped this fall has
already been purchased, and there is there-
fore little demand at the present time.
Manufacturers who have any stocks of
spruce dealsare holding out for high prices;

in fact, some disparity exists between the:

asking price of the manufacturer and the
figure which the shipper claims to be able
to pay. It has been pointed out that the
prices of spruce deals at Quebec, published
in last issue, arehigher than can be
obtained for an average specification.
Our best information is that first quality
spruce deals are worth about $44 to $46
per standard, second quality $30 to $32,
third quality $28 to $30, and fourth quality
$24 to 26. Sales were made earlier in the
season at higher prices, but the enormous
rise in ocean freights during the latter part
of the season has had a tendency to weaken
the price of deals. Spruce lumber, on the
whole, is reasonably firm throughout the
eastern provinces, although the demand is
not active. Cedar shingles are moving
slowly at $2.75 per thousand for extra
clear, on Boston rate of freight.

UNITED SYATES.

Within one week of the Presidential
election in the United States a large
movement of lumber could not be ex-
pected. The business of the past week,
under the circumstances, may be regarded
as satisfactory. Insome classes of pine
lumber, particularly low grade stock,
the tendency of prices has been towards
weakness, while on the other hand, piece
stuff and the higher grades of pine have
shown strength. Some quite important
sales have lately been made at Duluth,
800,000 feet of No. 3 and better at $14,
and 1,000,000 feet of No. 4 at $10.50.
Pine lath have been sold in that market
at from $1.75 to $2.25, according to
grade. In the Saginaw valley a few
million feet in log run lots changed hands
within the past two weeks. Box lumber
there is reported as dull. This is in
contrast to the Buffalo market, where the
box makers are said to be picking up
everything suitable for their needs. The
eastern markets are improving, and after
election a brisk trade is expected. From
Pittsburg comes the report that 4x6 No.
2common lumber is scarce, and 2x12
and large timbers in white pine are
difficult to find. White pine lath in that
market 1s 30 cents per thousand higher
than one month ago, with a brisk de-
mand for No. 2.

The hardwood situation 1s practically
unchanged. In Buffalo some _price-
cutting by dealers is reported, but it has
been confined chiefly to the smaller
operators. First and second white ash
is said to be selling at $38 to S40, maple
at $22, beech at $20, and plain oak at
$36 to $37. Basswood seems to be in
shorter supply than most of the hard-
woods, but the demand for this lumber is
limited. Ash is firm, with stocks
generally light.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The British lumber market is inclined
to be a little heavy, due to the fact that
the high prices, brought about largely by
excessive freight rates, are causing con-
sumers to buy only for immediate require-
ments. Recent auction sales have been
characterized by weakness in prices, but
in most instances the low values can be
partly accounted for by the inferior quality
of the lumber. As yet very few contracts
have been made for next season’s ship-
ments. In view of the heavy stocks at
Liverpool, and the uncertainty as to
freight rates, importers are not anxious to
contract. There is a feeling, however,
that deals will sell at about the same
figure as this year, although battens are
likely to go at lower prices. It is now
thought that the trade with South Africa
next year will be considerably less than
has been reckoned on.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
The bark Paul Rickmers is loading a
cargo of 2,800,000 feet at the Hastings mill,

The Department of Trade and Com-
merce at Ottawa has received a communi-
cation from the Nickels Explosives

{I.

a

Company, an English firm, in which they
state that they are desirous of purchasing
box shooks in Canada.

We understand that J. R. Booth, of
Ottawa, will not operate this winter to
any extent on the Mississippi branch of
the Madawaska river.

The probable cut of logs in the Algoma
district during the coming winter will be
about 100,000,000 feet. There is more
activity in this district than last year.

A raft of timber from the Georgian Bay
arrived at Saginaw last week for the
Saginaw Lumber & Salt Company. It is
the largest ever taken from Canada, con-
taining 120,000 pieces, and scaling 6,360.-
ooo feet. The logs were cut on Indian
reserve lands on Whitefish river.

Hemlock has lately been selling in the
Chicago market between $8.50 and- $9.
Railroad ties are bringing from 35 to 40
cents in carload lots. Eight foot posts, 4
inches in diameter, are quoted at 12 cents,
5 inch at 14 cents, 6 inch at 17 cents, 7 inch
at 20 cents, and 8 inch at 35 to 40 cents.

The superintendent of the Prince
Edward Island Railway at Charlottetown,
P.E.I., has invited tenders for the supply
of 46,000 ties, 272 pieces of sawn hemlock,
5,000 cedar posts, 200 hemlock ties,
45,000 feet perlines, and about 225,000 feet
of spruce and hemlock boards and planks.

The Rat Portage Lumber Co., of Rat
Portage, Ont., have 4,000,000 feet of logs in
the Rainy River which they purpose ship-
ping to Winnipeg upon the completion of
the South Eastern railway to that city.
Daniel Hyland, of Rainy River, who has a
timber limit at Willow Creek, Minnesota,
will get out 3,000,000 feet of logs this win-
ter, which will also be shipped to Winnipeg
via the South Eastern railway.

Three timber berths were sold by the
New Brunswick Government last week at
the upset price of $8 per mile, as follows :

THE BOSTON MARKET.

There is a fair demand at Boston for spruce
lumber, with the supply limited. The market
is strong, and vhere is nothing to hinder prices
being advanced except that the trade had
enough of advancing prices a year ago, which
resulted in nearly killing the demand. Now
the principal spruce men seem to be satished
to accept ofa good trade at fair prices. In
some instances, however, prominent lumber
concerns are actually getting $2 per thousand
above quotations for certain grades of spruce
lumber. Boards continue especially firm:
Ten and 12 inch, dimensions, $17; 9 inch and
under, $15 ; 10 and 12 inch, random lengths,
10 feet and up, $16.50; 2x3, 2x4, 2x5, 2x6
2x7, and 3x4, 10 feet and up, $£3.505 all other
randoms, 9 inch and under, Io feet and up,
$15.60; 5 inch and up merchantable boards,
$15; matched boards, $17 to $17.50; out
spruce boards, $12; bundle furring, $12.50.

Hemlock lumber continues firm, with offer-
ings small. Boards are very firm: Canadian
and eastern, $13 to $15; Pennsylvania, $16
to $17; boards, rough, $12 to $12.50; planed,
$13 to $14.

White pine is firm, with the request fairly
good: Uppers, 1 inch, $56 to $58; 134 to 2
inch, $58 to $60; 3 and 4 inch, $68 to $72;
selects, I to 4 inch, $52 to $64; fine common,
1 to 3 inch, $45 to $60; sheathings, $38 to
$54; barn boards, $28 to $305 coffin boards,
$24 to $26.

Hardwoods are steady in prices, with a fair
trade. Whitewood is firmer and is selling
better: 1 inch, whitewood, $36 to $38; thick-
er, $38 to $42; 36 inch, $30 to $33; saps,

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.

ONTARIO,

Immediately preceding a_ political
election business is usually quiet, and
lumber has been no exception to the rule
during the past week. This branch of
industry has been affected by the cam-
paign in the United States as well as in
Canada. Shipments to the Eastern
States have fallen off, although there are
enquiries in the market for lumber to be
supplied conditional upon the return of
the Republican President: These orders
will now be filled, and should give a much
improved tone to the market. The mill
men are as firm as ever in their asking
prices, being prepared to carry their stock
over the winter if need be. Logging
Operations are now in progress, but so far
the season has been unfavorable in some
districts. In the Algoma district, we
understand, excessive rains have inter-
fered with road making, and the work is
far behind what it was at same time last
season. A scarcity of men for the woods
is still reported.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

From a ccntinental standpoint spruce
lumber is strengthening. More encour-
aging reports are to hand from the East-
ern States, where the demand is reviving
and prices showing improvement.
Spruce lath has advanced in the New
York market. New Brunswick shingles
are also firmer, selling at $2.85 for extras
on Boston rate of freight. The outlook
for export trade in spruce 1s not so good.
Advices from abroad are that prices are
weakening, and there is uncertainty as to
next season’s business. The fact that con-
siderable stocks of deals are believed to
be held en this side is having a weaken-
ing tendency.

UNITED S'VATES.

General business has been so disturbed
during the past week by the Presidential
election that an active movement of Jum-
ber was out of the question. There has
been sufficient stock moved, however, to
show beyond a doubt that dealers and
consumers are carrying light stocks.
Now that the financial policy of the Gov-
ernment is to undergo no change, an
improved demand for lumber may be
looked for. The season is perhaps too
far advanced to expect a large volume of
business, but it is certain that orders
which have been held back will now be
placed, and that the tendency of prices
will be upwards. The position of white
pine lumber is favorable, stocks at the
mills not being excessive. Eastern
spruce is showing considerable strength,
notwithstanding that recent rains have
brought down large supplies of logs to the
Maine mills. Hardwoods are unchanged.
A dealer quotes the following prices f.0.b.
Buffalo: Maple, $23; black ash, $36;
basswood, $27, for inch firsts and seconds.
In Boston brown ash, 1% and 2 inches
thick, is reported scarce and selling at
$42. A Letter movement of red cedar
shingles is reported, while spruce lath
has advanced 25 cents a thousand in
New York city.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The British timber market is, to say
the least, surrounded by much uncertainty.
Some of the docks are crowded with
wooa goods, while the consumption is
still limited on account of high prices.
Recent auction sales have shown a weak-
ening in the price of New Brurswick and
Nova Scotia spruce deals, a lot of 3x11
first, second and third quality selling as
low as £9 per standard. Quebec spruce
deals have shown more strength, although
not as firm as they were one month ago.
The prices for the better quality of pine
deals are unchanged. It seems to be the
general opinion that lower prices must
rule for next season’s shipments, as some
incentive will be necessary to encourage
consumption. As far as can be learned,
no transactions of any importance for
next season’s production have taken place,
and the indications are that business will
be much later than usual.

The Barbados lumber market is thus
spoken of by Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son
& Company, in their report of October
27th: In our last report we noted the
arrival of the “Priscilla” from Liverpool,
N.S. Her cargo of 115 M feet of white
pine boards was sold at $24 shippers, $18
$16 2nd quality. She had also a small
lot of 12 M teet spruce boards, which
were placed at $22 for shippers. The
“Trade.” has since arrived from Jordan
River, N.S., with 95 M feet of white pine,
27 M feet of sprace—sold delivered at
Trinidad at $22 round.

THE BOSTON MARKET.

The spruce lumber market at Boston is
stronger. It is suggested that frames could
scarcely be placed at agreement prices, and
would bring at least 5ocents more. The mills
are shutting down and getting ready to shut
down, and dealers here are daily being notified
by leading millmen not to take any more orders.
Prominent houses here are out of the market as
to spruce frames. Boards continue scarce and
firm. Agreement prices are better than fully
sustained ; 10 and 12inch dimensions, $17 ; 9
inch and under, $15 ; 10 and 12 inch random
lengths, 10 feet and up, $16.50; 2x3. 2x4,
2x5, 2x6, 2x7 and 3x 4, 10 feet “and up,
$13.50 ; all other randoms, 9 inch and under,
10 feet and up, $14.50; 5 inch and up, mer-
chantable boards, $15; matched boards, $17
to $17.50; out spruce boards, $12; bundle
furring, $12.50.

Eastern hemlock is particularly firm, with
Pennsylvania steady ; eastern stock boards,
$14 to $15; random, $13 to $14; Pennsyl-
vania, $16 to $17 ; boards, rough, $12 to $13;
planed, $13.50 to $14.50.

Western pine is in fair demand, and the
market reported firm: Uppers, 1 inch, $56 to
$58 ; 134 to 2 inch, $58 to $60; 3 and 4 inch,
$68 to $72; selects, 1 to 4 inch, $52 to $64 ;
fine common, 1 to 3 inch, $45 to $60: sheath-

ings, $38 to $54; barn boards, $28 to $30;
offin boards, $24 to $26.

Shingles are doing rather better with higher
prices claimed : Extra cedar, $2.75 to $2.90 ;
clear, $2.40 to $2.50; second clear, $2.10 to
$2.25 ; clear white, $1.75 to $2.

Clapboards are firmer. The trade seems to
have become aware that the supply is a very
small one, and better prices have been realized:
Extra spruce, $29 to $30; clear, $27 to $28 ;
second clear, $24 to $25 ; pine, extra, $36 to
$38 ; clear, $33 to $37 ; second clear, $28 to
$30.
Sraths have continued to sell better, with the
market in good shape: 156 inch, $2.65 to
$2.75 ; 13% inch, $2.35 to $2.50. :

MEETING OF HARDWOOD LUMBERMEN,

A large and representative gathering of saw
mill men met at Palmerston on October 23rd and
formed an association, to be called The Huron,
Bruce, Grey and Wellington Hardwood Lum-
bermen’s Association. Mr. J. P. Newman, of
Wiarton, was elected president. The object of
the Association 1s to promote the interests of
the mill men by keeping members of the Asso-
ciation informed as to stocks on hand and
general information as to the trade. The As-
sociation find from reliable information that
the stocks of hardwood lumber at the mills are
not large, especially at this season of the year,
and the trade believe that prices have reached
bottom and are sure to advance. We also
learn that the stocks of hardwood lumber held
by the manufacturers are not as large as repre-
sented. The Association believes it would be
to the advantage of every mill man to become
a member of this new organization. Any in-
formation desired car be obtained by address-
ing Mr. Robert Watt, secretary and treasurer,
Wiarton, Ont.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

A most hopeful feeling regarding the
outlook for lumber has been exhibited on
all sides since the elections. The govern-
ments both in the United States and
Canada being sustained, assuring no
change of policy, has infused new life into
the commercial interests. Business will
expand, and in the course of expansion
will consume an increased quantity of
lumber. Orders placed with manufac-
turers and dealers during the past week
give promise of considerable trade for the
next few weeks. This will come from
retailers and furniture, implement and
other manufacturers. The building
season 1S now nearly over, and the de-
mand from that quarter will be confined
largely to finishing lumber. The most
encouraging prospects are in respect to
next season’s trade. A heavy demand
next spring is almost certain. Some of
the Ottawa valley manufacturers have
already contracted for their 1901 cut of
English-deals, at-prices.similar to those
ruling this season. This in itself is a
most hopeful indication.

Prices in the Ottawa valley are firm,
the lower grades having recovered some
of the ground Jost earlier in the season.
Lath 1s alittle easier. Hardwood lumber
is showing an increased movement.
Black ash and basswood are in specially
good demand, with a very light supply.
Manufacturers are showing little pressure
to sell, feeling certain that the demand
will consume the entire supply.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Vessels are still loading lumber at St.
Lawrence ports for trans-Atlantic destin-
ations. The shipments this year are be-
lieved to have been considerably lighter
than last season. Manufacturers of spruce
lumber are carrying in their yards more
stock than at same time last year, and
this may result in reducing the volume of
operations in the woods this winter. The
outlook for trade next year is somewhat
uncertain. Itis expected that the East-
ern States will take a considerable quan-
tity of Canadian lumber. The most
concern at the present time is in
respect to British trade, the course of
which is not very clear to shippers.

UNITED S1ATES.

Only one week since the presidential
election, yet the lumber business of the
United States has within that time shown
an improvement. Buying orders came
into the market immediately. A short
period at least of active trade is now as-
sured, but whether it will extend well
through the winter months is a ques-
tion in doubt. The tendency of
prices is to advance, but the trade seems
to be cautious about taking any step in
that direction lest it should check con-
sumption. It is improbable that prices
will be marked up except in a few lines
which are thought to be abnormally low.
At Buffalo the stock of box lumber and
the lower grades, except barn boards, is
short of the averaye, while at Albany
1&%-inch box is particularly scarce. The
position of spruce lumber is steadily im-

{I.

proving. At Buffalo some sales have
been made at $23 for 12-inch boards, $22
for 10-inch, and $19 for 6-inch saps.
Spruce and pine lath are advancing in
price. No. 1 lath is quoted at Buffalo at
$3.25, and No 2 at $2.75. There is a
good movement of shingles, but prices
are generally low.

GREAT BRITAIN.

Indications point to a late beginning of
business for next season. The opinion
of British importers as to prices is divided.
With a stock at the London docks valued
at over £1J,000,000, some authorities pre-
dict that prices will break perhaps as
much as £2 a standard. The results of
recent sales seem to support this view, as
prices of deals showed further weakness.
At Liverpool there is a moderate stock of
pine deals. According to Messrs. Farn-
worth & Jardine’s circular, the prices of
pine deals declined during the month of
October about £1 per standard, first qual-
ity now selling at from £22 to £28, second
quality at £18 to £21, and third quality
at £12 to £13 tos. No change in the
prices of spruce deals is reported. Waney
pine is firm, but there is little demand for
square pine timber. There have been
large receipts of birch planks at Liverpool,
and prices are slightly easier. At Glas-
gow, however, birch planks are said to be
scarce and in good demand at £8 Ios to
£9 Ios per standard. A cargo of Halifax
spruce has just been sold at Liverpool at

£7 10S.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)

Now that both the Presidential and Federal
elections have been made matters of history,
the future has been made clear to’ the local
lumbermen and shippers. The export trade
promises to take on a brisk movement, and
rail shipments will show a decided increase
over those of past summers. Business promises
to be brisk for some months to come, as the
supply at American points for winter consump-
tion is short of the demand.

A letter was received by a local lumberman
to-day from a New York gentleman extensively
interested in the same business, in which the
latter stated that 1901 would be one of the best
years the American lumbermen have enjoyed.
For some time past the American dealers have
been resting on their oars, awaiting the result
of the Presidential election, but orders from the
United States will now be sent in quick suc-
cession to Ottawa dealers and mill owners.
The local men have already felt the revival as
predicted, and enquiges are being received
about stocks in goodly numbers. Continued
prosperity will naturally have a buoyant effect
on the Ottawa market, and business promises
to continue brisk. Prices will rule themselves
accordingly, and unless an unexpected feature
intervenes they will stiffen rather than weaken.

The present season’s cut at the St. Anthony
Lumber Company’s mill at Whitney will be
fully 12 per cent. less than last year’scut. The
reason given by Mr. Whitney, the local man-
ager, is the delay in receiving logs in the early
part of the season. On this account the mill
did not open as early as last year.

‘As the close of navigation is near at hand, it
may be in place to review the season’s ship-
ments by boat. Owing to the fire which at the
very outstart of the season wiped out a large
portion of the standing stock, there was but a
fair movement by barge. It improved, how-

(CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

ever, as the cut of the mills increased the stock.
The season’s shipments, it is learned on reliable
authority, will be fully 30 per cent. less than
in the previous year. The dearth of ocean
bottoms and the increase in ocean freights also
had their effect on the river shipments.

There has been scarcely any change in prices
in the Ottawa market during the past fortnight.
Lath is somewhat easier, but all other lines
remain firm. There 1sa growing demand for
mill culls and other cheap lines, in fact, the
supply falls short. Prices may reasonably be
expected to advance in all the cheaper grades
before long. The demand has come from both
local builders and outside points, and promises
to be permanent. There is no increased de-_
mand for higher grades, the market remaining
firm at former prices.

Operations on the limits controlled by both
Ottawa and outside firms, including American
companies, promise to be equally as brisk this
coming winter as they were last. On a con-
servative estimate it is agreed that fully 2,800
men have been sent to the woods from Ottawa
and Hull. Large gangs are being sent to their
respective limits by Gilmour & Hughson, J. R.
Booth, Hull Lumber Company and W. C.
Edwards. Gillies Brothers have sent men
during the past fortnight to their limits on the
Coulonge. The E. B. Eddy Company have
had gangs forwarded to the Dumoine. Eddy

& Jordan hired men through Johnson &
Chitty for Blind River. The same firm sup-
plied men for the Hardy Lumber Company at
Trout Creek, and gangs were also forwarded
for the South River Lumber Company. Wages
continue high. Many men are going to the
limits from the farms, while others who have
been engaged for the summer in Ottawa and
Hull building operations are also applying for
work on the limits. The close of the Ottawa
mills this month will also release many men
and teams for the work on the limits, so that
the supply of labor is increasing.

Mr. Alex. Lumsden, M. L. A., who has
charge of the extensive log drives on the Upper
Ottawa, isin the city. Mr. Lumsden states
that the present season’s drive was fully 25 per
cent. greater than last year’s. As yet the num-
ber of logs brought down has not been com-
puted. Mr. Lumsden brought down logs from
the Dumoine, Mattawa, and other Upper
Ottawa tributaries for allthe Ottawa firms. He
employed during the season 300 men. The
prospects for the winter’s work on the limits,
according to Mr. Lumsden, are excellent.

The Ottawa mills will close this month after
a busy season’s work. The fire interfered with
the early operations in Mr. J. R. Booth’s mill,
and owing to the destruction of the Hull Lum-
ber Company’s mill that concern had to cut in
other smaller mills, with a reduced output.

The Ritchie mill at Aylmer was also destroyed
by fire, and this will tend to reduce the total
cut of the combined mills. Next season two
new mills will likely be established at the
Chaudiere. Mr. J. R. Booth, according to
rumor, proposes to erect a large planing mill,
while a pulp mill will be erected on the site of
the Hull Lumber Company’s mill.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

Lumber shipments during the past
week have been of considerable volume,
although not approaching anything in the
nature of a boom. The season is too far
advanced to expect a large movement of
stock this year, but the conditions are
favorable to an active demand in the
earlyspring. The extensive manufactur-
ing works contemplated at Sault Ste.
Marie, and the new railways to be built
in north-western Ontario, will call for a
very large quantity of constructive mater-
lal, of which timber will comprise the
greater portion. The improvements to
Toronto harbor are in progress, and it is
understood that the contractors are in
the market for a quantity of hemlock and
other timber required for the work,

The changes.in the Toronto price list
this week consist of a slight advance in
the price of 2x4, 6 and 8 inch
common lumber, for which an increased
demand is reported; 2x4 inch selling at
$14.50, and 2x6 inch and 8 inch at $15.50.
Cull scantling are also marked up 50
cents. The quotations on laths and
shingles have not been altered. We be-
lieve that some sales have been made at
prices slightly above those quoted, al-
though orders are still being accepted at
the figures of $2.75 for No. 1 and $2.25
for No. 2 lath.

A marked difference exists in the prices
asked by manufacturers for lath, making
it difficult to arrive at an average price.
The lath market, however, is showing
strength, and prices are likely to advance,
to be followed, probably, by skingles.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

As navigation on the St. Lawrence is
drawing to a close, considerable interest
is shown in the stocks wintering on this
side. Although the figures are not yet
aviilable, it is believed that the quantity
of British deals to be carried over at the
leading ports along the St. Lawrence
will not be exceptionally large. In New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia the stock is
perhaps a little heavier than last year.
Owing to the increased cost of produc-
tion and the present somewhat unfavor-
able outlook for spruce in Great Britain,
itis believed that the quantity of logs
taken out this winter will be curtailed ;
in fact, advices from several districts
confirm this opirion. The United States
demand has become more active since
the Presidential election. Extra cedar
shingles are selling, on Boston rate of
freight, from $2.75 to $3.00, clear at $2.50
and second clears at $2.25. Laths are
selling well at $2.40 to $2.50 for 14 inch,
and $2.75 to $2.80 for 154 inch.

UNITED STATES,

A number of large orders for lumber
have been placed with United States
dealers during the past week. Accord-
ingly, the market has strengthened, al-
though only in a few instances have prices
been advanced. White pine is selling at
former figures, the trade apparently be-
lieving that it would be unwise to advance
prices at this season of the year. What

{I.

alterations have been made are in
the direction of making the list more uni-
form and bringing manufacturers and
dealers together. From Buffalo comes
the report of a shortage in the cutting-up
grades of pine, while at Boston there 1s a
scarcity of upper grades in 2-inch.
Eastern spruce manufacturers are said to
have advanced their quotations one dollar

per thousand. The larger sizes of spruce
are particularly scarce. The hardwoods
have shared in the improvement. The

consumption is increasing, and the stock
hand is not likely to be found more
an sufficient for the winter and early
spring trade. Maple, black ash, and
basswood lead in point of strength.

The lath market is just now engaging
considerable attention. It is reported
that eastern dealers have purchased all
the stocks oflath at the mills in Duluth,
in some instances paying an advance of
25 cents a thousand. Prices at Duluth
are now $2.50, and at Chicago $2.85.
Shingles are likewise firmer and in better
demand.

GREAT BRITAIN.

We have before us the Board of Trade
returns showing the imports of woo
goods into the United Kingdom for the
ten months ending October 31st, 1899
and 1900. The total import of hewn and
sawn timber and lumber in 1899 was
8,025,285 loads, and in 1900 8,396,180
loads. From Canada, however, the im-
ports of sawn lumber have been slightly
less this year than in 1899. Owing to
the high prices having limited consump-
tion, stocks are generally heavier than at
same period last year. There are pre-
dictions of lower prices, but the import-
ers who purchased early in the season at
high prices are making a strong effort to
prevent a break. No buying of any
account for next season is reported. The
shippers claim that in view of the in-
creased cost of production and trans-
portation, they cannot afford to lower
their asking prices, which the importers
are not disposed to pay in the face of
present conditions. Some third quality
Quebec spruce was recently sold at
auction in London at £9 Ios per stand-
ard. Battens have recently declinea
about ten shillings per standard. From
Liverpool comes the report that the
Mersey Docks and Harbor Boards
through their agents, Messrs. Duncan,
Ewing & Couspany, are in the market
for 7,000 cubic feet of rock elm, 1,000
cubic feet of Quebec birch timber, and 26
standards of spruce deals and flooring
boards.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
Dickie and McGrath, of Tusket, N. S.,
have purchased large tracts of timber
lands, in Digby county.

During the month of October there was
shipped from Chemainus, B. C., to Aus-
tralia lumber totallying 5,480 tons meas-
urement.

Francis Murtagh, of Campbell’s Bay,
Que., has purchased a 200 acre timber
limit at Farrelton, together with saw mill
attached, from John Rice.

J. A. Ellis, of Lindsay, Ont., has pur-
chased from the English Land Company
the timber on goo acres in Guilford
township, Haliburton county.

S. H. White & Company have placed a
portable mill at Bonny River, Charlotte
county, N. B., where they will cut about
1,500,000 feet of lumber during the
coming winter.

Up to October gth of this year the
trans-Atlantic shipments from the port
of Miramichi, N.B., were 110,000,000
feet, as against {22,000,000 feet in same
period last year.

F. McGibbon & Sons, of Penetan-
guishene, Ont., are shipping a large quan-
tity of four inch deals to Cardiff, Wales.
The C. Beck Manufacturing Company
have also supplied considerable lumber
this season for the British market.

The Gilbert Blasting & Dredging Com-
pany,of Lroquois, Ont., isin the market for
50,000 cubic feet of crib timbey, 12 x 12

inches, 16 to 30 feet lengths, also 50 feet
run, flatted, 10 inches thick, 15 to 35 feet
lengths, to be delivered at the Morrisburg
canal.

Mr. D. M. Rennie, commercial agent
for Canada in the Argentine Republic and
Uruguay, writes under date of July 14th
that during the six months 106 cargoes of
lumber were imported, of which 15 were
spruce, 18 white pine and 73 pitch pine.
The market then was depressed.

Atthe Crown Lands office, Frederic-
ton, N.B., a two-mile timber berth on
Cain’s river, above Ten Mille Brook,
was sold to Wm. Russell, at $50.50 per
mile, and a ten mile berth on Gounamity
river, near the head of Little Forks, to
W. T. Whitehead, at $8 per mile.

An estimate of the Ottawa Valley lum-
ber cut for the present season places it at
500,000,000 feet, of which about 100,000,-
ooo was the product of the mills of J. R.
Booth. This is a decrease of about 50,-
000,000 feet as compared with last year,
due to the fact that several saw mills were
destroyed by fire last spring.

The Fredericton Boom Company has
finished rafting operations for the season,
having rafted the following quantities of
lumber: 120,044,270 feet of spruce,
13,816,107 feet of cedar, 4,181,830 feet of
pine, 106,490 feet of hemlock, and 57,406
joints, a total of 138,192,900 feet. This is
an increase of nearly 67,000,000 feet over
the season of sa

The Harbor Commissioners of Mon-
treal last week opened tenders for the
annual supply of timber for next year.
There were three tenderers, all local
firms, as follows: Shearer & Brown
Company, $59.235-81; J. & B. Grier, $57,-
875.46; W. H. Kelly Lumber Company,

alone there was one tenderer, Mr. Owens,
whose figure was $11,971.62. The contract
for the entire supply was given to the W.
H. Kelly Lumber Company.

During the coming -winter Williamson
& Crombie, of Kingsbury, Que., will take
out on Brompton Lake 450,000 _ pine,
spruce and hemlock logs. The Pierre-
ville Mills Company will take out be-
tween 20,000 and 30,000 logs on Salmon
Creek, which 1s Jess than half their usual
quantity. The Eastman Lumber Co. will
get out their usual supply for the East-
man mills.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

The transactions in lumber during the
past week have borne out the prediction
made in our last issue that there would be
no great volume of trade during the clos-
ing weeks ofthe year. A goodly number
of enquiries are being made, and some
sales have been effected, but indications
are not lacking that the trade ‘is settling
down to a winter basis. Large purchases
for spring delivery are not likely to be
made until January or February. The
probability is that the spring demand will
present itself earlier than is usual. There
is an unconfirmed rumor that large con-
tracts have been placed with the Ottawa
valley mills for their next season’s pro-
duction of British deals. Pine mill culls
are showing strength, and we would not
be surprised if considerably higher prices
for these would rule next season. Pine
lath also give evidence of selling at higher
figures. There is a scarcity of the better
grades of basswood Jumber. Other lines
of hardwoods remain unchanged, with the
demand showing a slight improvement.

A factor in the white pine market which
should not be disregarded is the almost
certainty of a decreased production of logs
this winter. In view of the high cost of
labor and supplies, logging operations in
nearly every district are on a limited scale.
Thereis much difficulty in ob!aining the
necessary number of woodsmen. andshould
weather conditions throughout the winter
prove unfavorable, the production of logs
may be even less than operatorsarereckon.

ing upon. The prospects, therefore, are
that less lumber will be manufactured next
year than in the season now closing.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Shipping from the St. Lawrence being
practically over for the season, the spruce
lumber market is consequently quiet.
Shippers on this side are waiting events
in Great Britain before contracting with
manufacturers for next season’s cut, and
it must be said that the outlook for Brit-
ish trade is none too promising. The
United States market has shown more
hfe and shipments have _ increased.
Spruce clap-boards are selling, on Boston
rate of freight, at $29 to $30 for extra, and
$27 to $28 for clear, while the correspond-
ing figures for pine are $36 to $38 and
$33 to $37. Extra cedar shingles are
stronger at $2.75 to $2,90, clears bring-
ing $2.40 to $3.50.

_MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Throughout Manitoba and the Terri-
tories the movement of lumber is light.
The retail dealers have sufficient stocks to
carry them through the winter, and will
not purchase for spring delivery until after
theturn oftheyear. In British Columbia
the local consumption of lumber continues
to be of large value, and the shingle mar-
ket is particularly firm. Vessels are now
loading lumber at Chemainus for South
Africa, and an increased export trade may
be expected as a result.

UNITED STATES.

The lumber market of the United States
has gained strength during the past week,
with indications of slight weakness in re-
spect to one or two classes of stock. The
favorable features are a heavy movement
of stock to the east, an increased number
of enquiries for spring delivery, and high-
er prices for certain grades. The Boston
market has developed unexpected strength,
dealers there reporting a marked increase
in demand. Beffalo dealers also tell of
an improvement in demand, with a light
snpply of all grades above barn boards.
Low. grade inch seems to be slightly
weaker and in larger supply, although at
Tonawanda there is said to be a scarcity
of 1x12 inch, the price of which has been
advanced by one dollar per thousand.
The manufacturers of spruce are advanc-
ing prices. At Bangor, Maine, narrow
spruce is quoted at $16 to $17, wide at
$17.50 to $20, scantlings at $15 to $16,
and spruce boards, Io to 16 feet long, at
$13 to $14. Basswood leads the hard-
woods in point ofdemand. A large east-
ern consuming firm is said to have made
heavy purchases of 1% inch basswood in
the Chicago market. Black ash is scarce,
while maple is quite plentiful, with inch
firsts and seconds selling the in Buffalo
market at $22.

Lath prices have been advanced 25
cents per thousand in Cleveland, Bangor,
and several other markets. At Ashland,
Wis., No 1 white pine lath is held at $2.50.

GREAT BRITAIN,

The reports from Great Britain tell of an
unsatisfactory condition of the timber
market. London seemsto be the centre

{I.

——_—_—_—<—<—$_—
a

of the weakness, as stocks there are larg-
er accordingly than at the other ports. A
decided tendency towards lower prices
has exhibited itself during the past fort-
night. This is clearly shown by the result
ofthe auction sale held by Churchill &
Sim on the 14th inst., when near\y all class-
es of deals sold from ten shillings to one
pound per standard lower than at
the previous sale. St. John spruce deals
sold 20 shillings lower, and battens 10
shillings lower, but it is said that this:can
be partly accounted for by the quality of
thelumber. In contrast to other lines
planed boards and flooring are showing
strength.

We are yet unable to report any pur-
chases of next season’s goods. The market
is in such a position that shippers are hold-
ing back their quotations in the hope that
the consumption and demandmay pick up,
and that they may be able to effect sales at
higher prices by waiting a few weeks. In
our opinion the conditions are not favor-
able to high prices for early spring ship-
ments.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

The past week has brought about no
material change in the lumber situation
in Ontario. Generally speakiny, trade is
about normal for this season of the year,
with prices firm and a decidedly hopeful
feeling in respect to the early spring de-
mand. No confirmation has been receiv-
ed of the report that certain Ottawa valley
manufacturers have disposed of their 1901
production of British deals, but there is
reason to believe that contracts will be
closed in the near future. The weather
conditions in the Georgian Bay district
have been unfavorable for logging oper-
ations, being mild and rainy. As we go
to press it is learned that there has been
a fall of snow which will greatly faciliate
work in the woods. Additional reports
are to hand telling of the limited quantity
of logs to be taken out this winter, the
scarcity of men and high wages being the
principal reasons. Besides, there was
hung up in the northern pine districts of
the province probably 200,000,000 feet of
pine logs, which will likely be available
for next season’s sawing.

The expected advance in the price of
lath has not yet taken place, but judging
from the firm position of holders of this
stock, higher prices seem to be assured.

QUEBEC,AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

| }That the past season has not been al-
together satisfactory to the lumbermen of
the eastern provinces is shown by a com-
parison of the shipments of lumber from
the port of Montreal to the United King-
dom. The figures show a decrease, as
compared with the previous year, of near-
ly 60,000,000 feet. Taking the exports of
tour of the leading shippers, we find a de-
crease of nearly 50,000,000 feet. This de-
crease, of course, may be accounted for
in part by the Gre in the Ottawa lumber
district last spring. Statistics of the east-
€rn ports are not to hand, but we believe
they also will show a falling off in ship-
ments. At the present time business in
lumber circles is quiet, and manutacturers
are looking into the future with some
eagerness. There has been a slight im-
provementin the United States trade, with
a tendency towards higher prices. It is
expected that an advance of ten cents will
be made in the price of cedar shingles,
which are now selling, on Boston rate of
freight, at $2.75 to $2.90 for extras,
$2.40 to $2.50 for clears, and $2.10 to
$2.25 for second clears. Lath are bring-
ing $2.75 to $2 80 for 15 inch, and $2.50

to $2.60 for 1% inch.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The position of the British timber mark-
et at the present time contrasts very
strongly with the course of the market
twelve months ago, when importers were
eager to place orders at current quota-
tions. Now no contracts for spring ship-
ments are being placed, and it 1s said that
some of the agents have not been sup-
plied with their shipper’s stock shee's.
There seems to be a feeling on behalf of
the shippers that it is advisable to wait
until after the new year, when some of the
surp'us stocks will be worked off. The

results of recent sales have not added
strength to the market. The Timber
Trades Journal, usually a reliable authori-
ly, remarks that “there is no escaping
from the fact that there is a general sink-
ing of prices from the high level they lately
occupied, and nobody can forsee when the
bottom will be reached.” Shippers are
being advised to lower their prices on
deals about one pound per standard, and
on battens ten to fifteen shillings, but we
are inclined to the opinion, so far as
Canadian lumber is concerned, that when
the knowledge of the decreased produc-
tion becomes more generally known, the
market will pick up again,

UNITED SYATES.

The late tendency to cut prices of pine
lumber is no longer reported. The mark-
et has strengthened, and dealers and con-
sumers alike appear convinced that the
stock of pine lumber will be inadequate
for the demands of the winter and spring.
Sales have not been numerous, but there
has been an active euquiry for spring de-
livery. At Buffalo it is feared that a
serious shortage in box lumber and cer-
tain other grades will be experienced.
Eastern spruce is firm, and higher prices
are being asked. Hemlock is also selling
in the Eastern States at good value. The
most noticeable improyement, perhaps,
has been in the hardwoods. The demand
is decidedly stronger, while the position
of the consuming industries is such as to
forecast a heavy movement of stock in the
spring. The piano manufacturers are pur-
chasing considerable quantities of elm.

In the Chicago market low grade inch
pine is very dull, as is also cull stock, but
No. t and No, 2 boards are exceedingly
scarce and bring full prices. On the
Pacific coast conditions have not changed.
There is a disposition to curtail the pro-
duction of red cedar shingles during the
winter.

STOCKS AND RICES.
Over 30,000,000 feet of lumber have
been shipped this season from the port of
Parrsboro, N.S. :

The Niebergall Lumber Company, of .
Staples, Ont., are said to have 3,000,000

000 feet of Ontario logs to be manufac-
tured in the spring at Parry Sound.

The London Electric Company, of Lon-
don, Ont., recently imported two carloads

The ship St. David sailed from Chem-
ainus, B.C., last week for Australia, with
a cargo of British Columbia timber. The
schooner Defender and the ship Great

000,000 feet this winter. The Keewatin
Lumber Co., of Keewatin, Ont., will get
out about 4,000,c00 feet during the winter,

{I.

Rhodes, Curry & Company, cf Am-
herst, N. S., have just been given a con-
tract to build 600 tenement houses at
Sydney, C. B., for the Dominion Coal
Company. These will require about

OTTAWA VALLEY TRANSACTIONS.
Two transactions of much interest to the
lumber trade have recently taken place at
Ottawa. The interest of A. A. Buell in the
Hull Lumber Company has been purchased by
Geo. H. Perley, the amount involved be-
ing given as $150,000. It is said that asa
result of this change the Hull Company will.
not rebuild their saw mills destroyed in the
recent fire, but will float their logs down the
Ottawa river to the mills of the Geo. H. Perley

Company at the mouth of the Rouge river.
The second deal comprised the transfer of
Demour’s saw mills in vhe township of Wake-
field to Poupore & Malone, contractors for
the Montreal harbor improvements. The
timber for the improvements will be manufac-
tured at the above mills. During the winter
it is proposed to cut 300,000 feet of square

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

That the close of navigation on the
upper lakes is draWing to a close is evi-
denced by the rush of lumber shipments.
Several vessels have loaded during the
past week at Georgian Bay ports for Sagi-
naw, Bay City, Buffalo, Tonawanda, and
other distributing points. When the
season’s shipments are over, the stock
wintering at the mills will not be unusual-
ly large ; in fact, some grades of pine are
in light supply. Most of the mills in
the northern districts have closed opera-
tions for the season, but a few are still run-
ning. By means of an unexceptional
freshet logs that were supposedly hung up
until next spring have now reached the
mills.

Our Ottawa correspondent is authority
for the statement that one at least of the
Ottawa Valley manufacturers has sold his
Igor cut of British deals, while we under-
stand that negotiations are under way look-
ing to other purchases. The market is
likely to remain quiet until after the turn of
the year, when more activity and higher
prices in some grades are looked for.

Hardwood dealers report no rush of or-
ders, but a satisfactory number of inquiries.
Soft elm lumber is weak owing to reported
cutting of prices by one or two dealers.
Hemlock is in a strong position, as the
production of hemlock logs during. the
he winter promises to be unusually
ight.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The season of navigation from the St.
Lawrence is now closed, the last vessels
having sailed a few days ago. As will be
seen by the figures published in another
column, the total shipments of lumber
from St. Lawrence ports to Europe was

approximately 227,000,000 feet, being a
decrease of about 60,000,000 feet as com-
pared with the previous year. The ship-
pers are now laying out their plans for
next season, when they hope to be able to
maintain the prices of the past year. The
spruce market is quiet. New Brunswick
cedar shingles continue to show strength,
and sales have been made during the past
week at $2.85 to $2.90 for extras, and
$2.50 to $2.6c for clears, on Boston rate of
freight. For 15 inch lath $3 has been
asked, and for 1% inch $2.85.

UNITED STATES.

Building lumber in the Eastern States is
in greater demand, while the movement
of stock to manufacturers has lessened.
This latter condition is no doubt due to
the desire to reduce stock to make in-
ventories easier and to show a better
cash balance. The number of enquiries
in the market show that generally light
stocks are held by retail dealers and con-
sumers. There is a most hopeful feel-
ing in regard to the prospective consump-
tion of building lumber, as it is predicted
on all sides that the building season of
1901 will be unusually brisk. Saginaw
dealers report the movement of 15,000,000
feet of pine lumber since the election,
and although quotations have not chang-
ed, the market is conceded to be stronger.
Log run lumber of good quality is worth
$18, box lumber from $12 to $16, mill
culls from $12 to $13, and Norway $16.
At Buffalo some fear of a shortage in the
cutting-up grades of pine 1s reported,
while at Philadelphia the middle grades
are weak, and the lower grades, especial-
ly 6 inch strips and 12 inch boards,
fairly active. The demand for spruce
is strong, the quotations at Bangor, Me.,
being $16 to $17 for 6 to 8 inch, and
$18 to $20 for f2 inch. Spruce lath is
held there at $3 per thonsand.

The improvement in the hardwood
trade is confined to an increased num-
ber of inquiries and greater confidence in
the outlook, At Buffalo maple is firm-
er at $22 for inch, while basswood is
selling at $27 for firsts and seconds.

Shingles are gaining ground, nearly
all varieties being held at higher prices,
with a somewhat meagre supply.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The British timber market is in a con-
fused state, with conflicting views heard
on all sides. The decreased consumption
is one of the most unfavorable factors, as
until the demand from the consumers
shall become more active little improve-
ment in the position of the market can be
expected. Selling for next year has not
yet commenced, although in the face of
the prediction that prices for next year’s
shipments will be lower than those ruling
last spring, we hear that some sales of
Swedish goods have been made on a
basis ten shillings higher than one year
ago. The specifications, it is said, have
been exceptional, but nevertheless, these
sales cannot but have a strengthening
effect upon the market. That the mar-
ket has declined sharply during the past
two months cannot be disputed. In bat-
tens the decline has averaged about 25

shillings per standard, while north of
Europe deals have been marked down
from one totwo pounds. Canadian deals
have mostly been in strong hands, and
consequently have not declined so sharp-
ly. At a recent auction sale 3x9 Quebec
spruce of second qualty sold at £9 10s
per standard.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

J. W. Munro, of Pembroke, has already
made 200,000 cubic feet of square and
waney pine timber this fall on his Mattawa
limits. Itissaid that he expects to take
Out about 450,000 feet on this river, and
75,000 feet on the Vermillion river, as well
as 17,000,000 feet of logs in the township of
Capreol.

At a recent sale held by Charchill &
Sim, London, England, 48 logs of oak
timber from Quebec sold at from 110
shillings to 117s 6d per load of 50 cubic
feet, and 58 logs of elm timber at from
Ioos to 120s per load, the latter price be-
ing obtained for 8 logs 28-43 ft.x12-15 in.
A small quantity of birch from Montreal,
10-18 ft. 3x6-18 in., sold at 1s 4d per cubic
foot.

For the week ending December Ist the
following trans-Atlantic shipments of lum-
ber were made from the port of Montreal:
Per steamer ‘“‘Date’—208 standards of
white and red pine deals and boards, and

BUSINESS NOTES.

Mr. A. F, Bury Austin, the well known
lumber merchani, Board of Trade building,
Montreal, has been appointed sole eastern sell-
ing agent for the North Pacific Lumber Com-
pany, Limited, of Barnet, near Vancouver,
B.C., and would be most pleased to quote
prices on all kinds of B.C. Douglas fir, cedar
and spruce, in the rough or dressed. The
North Pacific Lumber Company’s mills are
located at Burrard Inlet, and on the
C.P.R., nine miles from Vancouver city, and

ship decking, timbers and spars, shingles, laths,
pickets, box shooks, house flooring, siding and
finish of all kinds, doors, sash and blinds, and
moulding stock cut to sizes, also bridge timber
of all kinds. They are also prepared to dress
dimension timber, as their planers face up to
24 inch x 30 inch, and the mills cut dimension
timber up to 120 feet long. They have dry
kilns of large capacity and are in position to
furnish material promptly.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
There is practically no change in the prices

ruling in the Ottawa market, though inquiries
from American points are being received in
increasing numbers. Winter shipments by
rail to American points promise to be brisk
after the new year, but at present they are
steady.

To give direct correction to his large lumber
yards at the Chaudiere, Mr. TI. R. Booth has
had his railway line extended across Bridge
street. Cars can now be loaded direct from
the piles, while formerly the lumber had to be
transferred on wagons. Mr. Booth will oper-
ate the Perley mili all winter and will ship ex-
tensively from his yards, all of which have been
refitted since the fire. Part of the log supply
will be brought in over the C. A. railway from
points between Ottawa and Parry Sound.

Winter ocean freights have gone into force,
and no further shipments will be made till
next spring. Gilmour & Hughson have con-
tracted to supply deals to American and Brit-
ish dealers at last year’s quotations, but no
further business 1n this line can be learned of.
All the mills along the Ottawa have closed
after a steady season’s cut.

Mr. David Gillies, of Carleton Place, mem-
ber of the well known lumbering firm of
Gillies Bros., Braeside, has been re-elected
representative for Pontiac county in the Quebec
House. Mr. Gillies operates on large limits
in the northern part of the county.

All the machinery has been placed in posi-
tion in the E. B. Eddy Co.’s paper mills, and
it is expected that the manufacture of paper
will be started within ten days. The machin-
ery has a greater capacity and is of a more
modern type than that destroyed in the fire.

Allan Gilmour, one of Mr. John Gilmour’s
two sons who enlisted for service in South
Africa a year ago, has returned to Ottawa
after undergoing the hardships of a trying cam-
paign.

The Ottawa Transportation Company,
which handles nearly all the lumber shipped
from Ottawa by barge, purposes adding sever-
al more barges toits fleet next season. Already
it has 75 in commission. Owing to the fire
there was a falling off in this season’s busi-
ness.

Word was received in the city to-day of the
death of Mr. John Dickinson, foreman for Gil-
mour & Hughson on their limits at the Desert,
up the Gatineau district. The deceased
gentleman was well known and possessed of
deep knowledge of the lumber business.

LOGGING OPERATIONS ON THE RAINY
RIVER.

A correspondent at Rat Portage Ont.,
writes to the CANADA LUMBERMAN as
follows:

There will be between thirty and forty mil-
lionfeet of pine timber cut in the District of
Rainy River, upwards of one million railway
ties for the Canadian Pacific Railway Co., and
about the usual quantity of other timber, such
as cedar posts, telegraph poles and and piles.
This exceeds former years. There will like-
wise be a large quantity of timber and ties
used inthe construction of the Rainy River
railway during the season, which will open up
a large portion of territory which has not
heretofore been accessible on account of the
distance the timber would have to be driven
to the Canadian Pacific railway. It willalso
open up the market for timber that has not
been merchantable timber. There has been
no spruce cut in the district of Rainy River,
not but what there are very large quantities of
it, but it was not accessible heretofore, but w
are looking forward to a very much larger
business being done after the construction of
the railway. It is not only going to provide
ways and means for the transportation of the
timber, but there is a great deal of good agri-
cultural land to be opened up also.

TRADE ENQUIRIES.

The following were among the enquiries
relating to Canadian trade received at the
High Commissioner’s office in London dur-
ing the week ending Nov. 3oth :

Application has been received for the
addresses of some of the most important
wood pulp mills in Canada.

A firm in the Midlands who are likely to
be considerable buyers of casks made of
beechwood desire to be placed in com-
munication with Canadian makers able to
meet their requirements.

The names and addresses of the parties
above referred to may be obtained at the
office of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Considerable strength has been given
to the white pine market by the intelli-
gence that the deal production of the
Ottawa Valley mills for 1901 has been
contracted for by the shippers. The
Hawkesbury cut, we understand, has
been secured by W. & J. Sharples, Mc-
Laren’s cut by R, Cox & Company, The
Hull Lumber Company’s and W. C.
Edwards & Company’s cuts by Watson &
Todd, J. R. Booth’s cut by R. Cox &
Company and J. Burstal! in equal pro-
portions, while smaller cuts have been
secured by R. Cox & Company. The
basis of prices is believed to be practically
the same as last year, which, in view of
the lower values now ruling in Great
Britain, and the uncertainty as to the
future, should be very satisfactory to
Canadian manufacturers. Now that these
purchases have been made, it is probable
that it will inspire confidence and lead te
other transactions. Holiday quietness
prevails throughout the lumber trade,
salesman being mostly off the road.
_Prices for both pine and hardwoods are
fii, and ii is predicted that there will be
slight advances on some grades towards
the spring. Lath and shingles are
particularly strong, although it has been
thought inadvisable to make changes in
quotations until the advance now asked
by some dealers becomes more general.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

es

The past week has brought about no
change in the spruce situation. Montreal
dealers are interested in the reported em-
barrassment of a Liverpool house known
to have been dealers in Canadian lumber,
The report from the Maritime Provinces
is that very little lumber is moving. Clap-
boards are firm, but in light demand, sell-
ing at $29 to $30 for extra spruce and $27
to $28 for second clear, on Boston freight
rates.

Operations in the woods are now well
under way, and estimates will soon be
forthcoming of the probable cut. Onthe
St. Croix river it is expected that about
25,000,000 feet will be taken out. This is
10,000,000 feet less than last winter, and
probably reflects the volume of operations
on other streams.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Retail dealers report a light demand for
lumber, with no expectation of an im-
provement untilthe early spring stock
shall commence to move. Prices are not
altogether satisfactory, but it is hoped that
recent changes which nave taken place
will result in remedying the evil. In Brit-
ish Columbia lumber circles considerable
activity is shown at the present time. The
manufacturers are taking steps looking to
the removal of the discrimination made by
American ship owners against Canadian
ports, also to secure the continuance of the
rebate on exported timber. It is under-
stood that some large orders have been
placed with British Columbia manufac-
turers fortimber for shipment to foreign
countries, one being by the German gov-

, ernment for deck planking.
Owing to the production of shingles be-

412 to 412

ing considerably greater than the demand,
an arrangement has been effected by
which one of the largest mills will be
closed down and the owner thereof will act
in the capacity of a broker for the other
manufacturers, Should the arrangement
work out satisfactorily, it will improve the
condition of the red cedar shingle indus-
try.
UNITED SVATES.

Reports from the head of Lake Superior
show that the Duluth and Superior mills
manufactured this year approximately
416,000,000 feet of lumber. Of this
quantity 168,000,000 feet is still held by
manufacturers, 129,000,000 feet of which
is unsold. In 1899 the cut was 423,000,-
000 feet, the stock on hand 114,000,000
feet, and the stock unsold 22,000,000 feet.
These figures make an unfavorable show-
ing for this year, and reflect the lessened
demand for lumber which existed during
the year as compared with the previous
season. lt is only fair, however, to point
out that while one year ago wholesalers
and retailers were heavily stocked, the
reverse condition exists at the present
time, and the prospect is that they will
have an inadequate supply fcr the winter
trade. While little business is doing, the
market shows considerable strength. In
the Chicago market sales of inch mill run
have been made at prices $1 higher than
before the election, while at Tonawanda
there has been an advance of from fifty
cents to two dollars per thousand on
some of the coarser grades of 12-inch
boards and No. 1,2 and 3cuts. Boston
reports a scarcity of good stocks of white
pine. Spruce is steadily advancing, and
within the last fortnight quotations in New
York have been brought up to $16 to
$17 for narrow, and $18 to $20 for wide.
There is very little buying of harwoods,
with no material fluctuations in price.
Shingles and lath are both firm, and as
the season advances the certainty of a
shortage in the supply becomes more
apparent. In the east there is a strong
demand for all kinds of lath. Extra
cedar shingles are quoted at Boston at
ane, clears at $2.50, and second clears at

2,10,

GREAT BRITAIN,

It is unfortunate that just at this time,
when efforts are being made to prevent
the British timber market from declining
further, the failure of a large Liverpool
lumber firm should occur. This failure, to
which reference is made elsewhere, is un-
derstood to have greatly unsettled the
market. Inche face of the present con-
ditions, it is not expected that there will be
any immediate relief from the present de-
pression; on the other hand, it would not
be surprising if still lower prices should
rule before the next two months are past.
At most of the ports there is a heavy stock
of boards and sidings, while the stock of
other classes of timber is a little above the
average. The firmof A. Dobell & Com-
pany, Liverpool, quote first quality pine
deals-at from £22 to £28 per standard,
second quality £18 to £21, third quality
Ios, and New Brunswick
spruce £7 7s 6d to £8. Quebec square

STOCKS AND PRICES.

[t is said that the Central Lumber Com-
pany, of Saginaw, Mich., will not operate
this winter in the Georgian Bay district
owing to their inability to export the logs
to Michigan.

H. H. Acorn, of Souris East, P.E.I., has
been awarded a contract to supply about
three-quarters of a million feet of timber
for the Hillsborough bridge near Charlotte-
town, P.E.I.

The Lachine Rapids Hydraulic & Land
Company, of Montreal, want tenders for
the supply of 300 cedar poles, from 45 to
55 feet long, 8 inches at smaller end, to be
delivered by April next.

F. M. Sumner, of Moncton, and J. M.
Barnes, M.P.P., of Buctouche, who have
secured the contract for the building ofa
telephone line from St. John to St. Stephen,
N.B., are letting contracts for poles and
other materials.

The Schooner Gypson Emperor sailed
from Digby, N. S., last week for Buenos
Ayres, with a cargo of lumber. The bri-
gatine Harry Stewart and the schooner
Helen Sheffner are loading lumber at
Bear River, N. S., for the West Indies.

At the Crown Lands office, Fredericton,
N. B., two timber berths were sold last
week, as follows: A 2% mile berth on
western side of Bartibog river, to James
Russell, of Lower Newcastle, at $65.75 per
mile ; and 2 miles on first Eel River Lake
to E. Loudon, at the upset price of $8 per
mile.

The lumber shipments from the port of
Dalhousie, N.B., for the season just closed
totalled 24,090,224 superficial feet, and
those of the outports of Campbellton 20,-
968,145, making a total of 45,028, 369 feet.
There were 71 vessels in all, one of which
went to Italy, one to Australia, four to
Spain, two to Barbadoes, two to St. Pierre,
and the balance, 61 vessels, to Great
Britain.

It is stated that McLeod & Irwin, of
Bracebridge, who have the contract: from
the Algoma Central Railway to cut the
bill stuff off lots 6, 7,8 and 9, concession
1, Township of Dana, have sold out their
plant and contract to the Victoria Har-
bor Lumber Company, who purchased
the adjoining five lots at the last govern-
ment sale of timber. A large drive, prob-
ably some ten or twelve million feet, will
come down the Sturgeon river in the
spring from that locality.

The lumber cut on the St. Croix river, in
New Brunswick, this year will be about
25,000,000 feet. The Murchies_ will cut
about 8,000,000 feet, the Eatons about 10,~
000,000 feet, the Todds 4,000,000 feet, and
Granville Chase 1,500,000 feet. Late ad-
vices from the St. Croix state that there is
an over-abundance of snow.

There is a strong demand at Barbadoes
for spruce and white pine lumber. Recent
sales have been made at the following
prices: White pine, $25.02 for merchant-
able and $21.02 for second quality ; spruce,
$22.60 for merchantable, but a sale of
stock to arrive is said to have been made
at $22.80. The supply of Gaspe cedar
shingles is ample. Cedar laying have been
sold at $2.30 and spruce laying at $2.09.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.

ONTARIO. =

Being within one week of the end of
the year, and with navigation closed, not
more than a limited movement of lumber
could reasonably be looked for. Sales-
men have been taken off the road, and
lumbermen are devoting themselves to
balancing up the business of the year.
That orders continue to be placed in fair
volume, notwithstanding these circum-
stances, shows that lumber is wanted, and
we think augurs well for an early spring
trade. While stocks at the mills are no
doubt heavier than at the same time last
year, it may besaid with equal accuracy
that the stocks of consumers and retail
dealers are unusually light. The course of
the spring trade would seem to be indicat-
ed by the fact that Saginaw dealers have
already bought heavily of Ontario lumber
for spring delivery. It is estimated that

For particulars address

Mershon & Company have purchased.

nearly 20,000,000 feet, and Schuette &
Company about 16,000,000 feet, while
other buyers have contracted for smaller
quantities. From every section of the pro-
vince encouraging reports are to hand
of the prospects for spring trade, and un-
der such conditions it is only reasonable
to expect thatthe present prices will be
maintained, if they are not advanced.
Late information confirms the report

that last year.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Lumber matters in the eastern pro-
vinces are somewhat unsettled on account
of the weakness of the British market and
the consequent uncertainty as to next
season’s’ business. The shippers have
contracted with the mill men for a small
portion of the 1901 cut, but it is under-
stood that few, if any, sales have been
made to British importers. Negotiations,
however, are now under way, and early in
the year contracts will no doubt be closed.
It transpires that several Quebec and
Montreal merchants are affected by the
recent Liverpool failure, although they
are not heavily involved. Locally, trade
is fair for this season of the year.
A contract has just been awarded for
building a wharf at Sorel, Que., in which
considerable timber will be consumed.
Some enquiries for stock are reported
from the United States, where the mar-
ket is improving. New Brunswick cedar
shingles are steady at slightly higher
prices.

UNITED STATES.

There has been more buying of lumber
during the past week than is usual at this
season of theyear. This disposition tobuy is
due in part to the belief that it will not b
possible to obtain lumber at lower price
than at present during the next few
months, as the situation seems to favor an
advance. A meeting of the manufactur-
ers of pine lumber in the Mississippi val-
ley is announced to be held this week, at
which the list will be re-adjusted so as to
advance the price of certain grades which
are now scarce. In the Mississippi and
Wisconsin valleys the stocks of pine lum-
ber show a heavy shortage as compared
with the average season, and a slight
shortage ascompared withthe low stocks of
one year ago. There isa scarcity of No. 2
and No. 3 boards. Already sales of stock
have been made at Duluth for shipment
eastward next spring ; the prices obtained
have been very satisfactory. At Marin-
ette, Wis., a sale of stock is reported at
an advance of 15 per cent. over last year’s
figures. Eastern spruce continues to
gain in strength. In the New York mar-
ket wide random spruces selling at about
$19. What this price means will be
understood when it is stated that the low
water mark of last summer was $12.
There has been a marked revival in the
east in all branches of industry, and the
outlook for lumber is regarded as good,
A feature of the present month has been
the almost unprecedented demand for
sash and doors.
the volume of orders has been fully 56 per
cent. grerter than in any corresponding
month in their history.

While the future for hardwood lumber
is regarded as satisfactory, the present
movement of stock is light. Consumers do
not wish topile up stock until aftertbe turn
of the year. From different sections a
scarcity of lath and shingles is reported.
New Brunswick cedar shingles are selling
a little higher.

Wholesalers report that-

fortnight has stimulated the lumber busi-
ness in Great Britain. There has, how-
ever, been no improvement in prices,
nor is this looked for at this season of the
year. At recent auction sales dressed
boards showed weakness. Some lines of
spruce, especially 7 and 8 inch unsorted
battens, sold at lower prices. Little ad-
vancement has been made towards mak-
ing purchases for next year. The import-
ers are still pursuing a waiting policy, as
with plenty of lumber on the spot to meet
requirements, the urgency of early con-
tracting is removed. In some districts
the feeling seems to be gaining ground
that next year’s prices will be lower than
those of 1900, this opinion being based,
to some extent, upon the decline in coal
and iron. It seems to be considered that
the higher grades of pine and spruce
deals will,under almost anycircumstances,
bring fair prices, and that if depression
should prevail the lower grades will suffer
the most. It is reported that a number
of contracts have been closed with France
for next year’s shipments and that the
sale of 8,000 standards has been made to
South Africa.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
Sutherland & Baillie have cut 500,000
feet of lumber near McMullen’s dam, on
Salmon river, N.S.

The Dominion Government wants tend-
ers for the supply of timber for the Wel-
land canal, at St. Catharines, during the
year Igol.

A quantity of timber, consisting chiefly
of basswood and ash, recently blown down
by a storm in the Rondeau _ provincial
park, has been sold by tender to J. B.
Coates, of Ridgetown, Ont., for $5.50.

Sims Bros., of Little Current, Ont., have
purchased the Lippincott timber \imit on
Whitefish river, which they are operating
this winter with two camps of about 150
men. We understand that they have not
yet made arrangements for the sawing of
the logs.

A correspondent at Day Mills, Ont.,
writes that logging operations in Algoma
are in fullswing. Owing to heayy rains
in the early fall the conditions were un-
favorable for cutting and skidding logs.
The Doherty Organ Company have fifty
men in the woods getting out pine logs.
They are operating on the Day limit pur-
chased last season from James I. Harris,
and will have their logs sawn at DayMills,
The C.P.R. are taking out a large quan-
tity of cordwood along their road between
Blind River and Thessalon and are also
buying from farmers. Hemlock logs are
worth $5 to $7 per thonsand feet at local
mills, birch $7, red oak $10, and pine

$io.

This is the time of the year to investigate the
requirements of British lumber merchants, so
that during the winter suitable logs may be
taken out. Drop a line to any of the brokers
or importers whose announcements aprear on
on page IV and they will gladly furnish you
with particulars as to sizes, prices, etc.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

“Inquiries for bills for next season are
already coming in, and prospects for the
season of Igol are considered very bright.”
This is the manner in which a manufac-
turer in western Ontario refers to the out-
100k for the lumber trade, ‘and his views
are endorsed by other manufacturers from
whom information has been received
the past week. Some Georgian Bay
ovills have already sold their coming seas-
on’s cut of British deals, while an increas-
ed inquiry for the lower grades is report-
ed from all sections of the province.
Without being too optimistic, it can be
safely said that an active trade in lumber
will characterize the early spring, and
there is reasonable hope of higher prices at
least for certain grades. Michigan con-
sumers of lumber will, in all probability,
obtain a greater portion of their supply in
Canada this year than ever before, as the
production of pine lumber in that State
is now of no account.

There are considerable stocks of hard-
wood lumber in some districts, but it 1s
not anticipated that there will be any gen-
eral reductions in price, as this is scarcely
possible unless sales are made at a loss,
owing to the high prices paid for logs. It
is expected that there will be a small pro-
duction of hardwoods the coming seas-
on.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The outlook for the lumber trade of the
eastern provinces is brightening, although
sales for immediate deliverv are few.
For spring delivery, however, many en-
enquiries are being made. During the

past few months there has been little de-
mand for spruce clapboards, the price of
which has remained low. Enquiry has
now become mote active, dry stocks are
getting cleared out, and prices are show-
ing a tendency to advance. British trade
1s quiet. Shippers are still unable to close
contracts on account of the uncertainty of
the European marker. New Brunswick
cedar shingles are again a little weaker,
selling as low as $2.80 for extras, $2.40 to
$2.50 for clears, and $1.75 to $2 for sec-
ond clears.

UNITED STATES.

While there was a falling off in trade
towards the end of the year, all kinds of
lumber give evidence of continued stabil-
ity. An encouraging featureis the con-
tinued volume of enquiry and the placing
of many orders for early spring delivery.
The end of the year found stocks at many
manufacturing points badly broken. On
the upper lakes there is said to be a short-
age of 12-inch No. 1, 2 and 3 boards, Io
inch No. 1 and 2 boards, and 2x12 piece
stuff in 12, 14 and 16 foot lengths. Laths
are also in short supply. A few sales of
the cut of 1901 have been made at a
slight advance on last season’s prices. In
the saginaw valley manufacturers, with few
exceptions, have little stock in their yards.
Log run is quoted at $16 to $18, box lum-
ber at $12 to $16, Norway bill stuff at $16
and upwards, and mill culls at $12 and
$14. At Buffalo the stock of pine lumber
is not heavy, and a general scarcity of the
higher graaes is reported. Some efforts
have been made by dealers to add to their
supply from Ontario, but it 1s said that
prices generally have been found too high.
Spruce continues to gain in strength and
advances are looked for early in the year.
Although hardwoods are quiet, no weak-
ness is shown. More than the usual
number of enquiries are reported, and
there has been some good buying for Jan-
uary delivery. Plain oak has gone up
another $1.50 in New York, now
selling at $46 and better.

Thetendency of shingles is strong.
Buffalo dealers are finding more enquiries
for red cedar shingles than for pine, the
difference in price being 50 cents. On
the Pacific coast cedar shingles have been
advanced another 5 cents.

GREAT BRITAIN.

Advices from Great Britain tell of an
unchanged condition of the lumber
market. Importers are declining all
overtures, and few sales of importance
have been made. One report states that
London importers have not yet pur-
chased any deals and battens for next
year, but several contracts for special
goods, such as slating battens and
weather boards, have been closed. There
is yet much uncertainty as to the prices
whcih will rule for spring shipments. Some
Baltic manufacturers are said to have
sold 11 and 9 inch deals at the same prices
as ruled last season, and 7 inch battens 5
shillings lower. Prices for goods on spot
are not improving. Notwithstanding the
drop in spruce prices, there is little move-
ment in the sale of deals and planks, and
it would seem that consumers are expect-

ing a further decline in prices. A few
sales of third pine deals have been made
at £11 12s 6d per standard for 3x9 in, 12
to 13 ft. in length. At an auction sale
held by Hodson, Mabbs & Company, 3xi1
Quebec spruce brought only £9 5s, which
is considered a little below market value.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

D. L. Mather, of Rat Portage, Ont.,
intends taking out 275,coo railroads ties
this winter.

The unsold stocks of lumber at Duluth
and Superior at the close of the year
amounted to 129,000,000 feet.

The South River Lumber Company, of
South River, Ont., have sold their 1901
cut of deals at prices about the same as
last year.

The bark St. James sailed from Che-
mainus B.C., last week for Melbourne,
Australia, with 1,200 000 feet of lumber,
valued at $12,000.

John Carew, of Lindsay, Ont., is get-
ting out a large stock of logs and _ railway
ties in North Victoria and Peterborough
county this season.

The Goderich Lumber Company, of
Goderich, Ont., are taking out this winter
only hemlock and cedar timber, for which
they find a ready market.

The Saginaw Lumber & Salt Company,
of Saginaw, Mich., will, it is said, have
15,000,000 feet of logs for rafting to
Michigan next season, these being cut on
Indiana reserve lands.

Seaman & Company, of Port Arthur.,
Ont., contracting lumbermen for the New
Ontario and Rainy River railway, have let
contracts for 250,000 ties to be taken out
this winter between Port Arthur and
Steep Rock Lake. They will employ 400
men. Several small saw mills along the
line east of Sturgeon Falls will be moved
to Seine river and Little Turtle lake, and
several million feet of piling and bridge
timber will be taken out. Sub-contracts
have been let to the following : Bartley
& Mosher, 5,000,000 feet of logs; Tier-
ney & Fraser, 5,000,000 feet of logs, 25,-
ooo ties, and a large quantity of piling ;
Brownlea & Campbell, 30,000 ties, and
about 50,000 feet of piling. The building
of the road will involve the construction
of two bridges across the Rainy River,
one near Baudette and the other at Fort
Frances.

The failure is announced of the Alexander
Timber Company. Limited, of Cardiff, Eng-
land. Among the creditors are: Bunstall
& Co., Quebec; R. R. Dobell, Quebec ;
R. R. Dobell & Co., Quebec; W. & J.
Sharples, Quebec; Farnworth & Jardine,
Liverpool ; A. F. & D. McKay, Liverpool ;
Pierce & Pierce, Liverpool.

The tendency of the freight market is down-
wards. Several steamers have been fixed from
Miramichi to w.c. England at 52s 6d for
first-open-water shipment and one of 1,500
standards at 52s 6d to Liverpool or Manches-
ter. Four small sailers have been chartered,
Bay of Chaleur to w.c. England, at 52s 6d,
and two from Halifax to west coast at 50s 6d
and 50s. From the river St. Lawrence chart-
ers have been effected at 51 3d to 51s 6d.

THE BOSTON MARKET.

The spruce lumber market is steady and
featureless. It is possible that the tone is
just a shade easier, since one or twosmall mills
have gone to sawing, but values are not chang-
ed, with even more than agreement prices paid
for frames, if wanted at once or within a few
weeks: Ten and 12 inch dimensions, $18 ;
9 inch and under, $16; 10 and 12 inch ran-
dom lengths, ten feet and up, $17; 2x 3,
2X A, 2X 5, 2x6; 2x7 and sixi4n lo feet and
up, $14.50 ;all other randoms, 9 inches and un-
der, 10 feet and up, $15.50; 5 inch and up,
merchantable boards, $15; matched boards,
$17 to $17.50; out spruce boards, $12.50;
bundle furring, $14.

Hemlock is very steady, with offerings lim-
ited: Eastern stock boards, $14.50 to $15.-
50; random, $13.50 to $14. 50; Pennsylva-
nia, $16 to $17; boards, rough, $12.50 to
$13.50; planed, $14 to $14.50.

Western pine is firmer, with shippers claim-
ing a oe market: Uppers, 1 in. $58 to
$62 ; 134 to 2 inch, $63 to $64; 3 and 4 in.
$68 a eS selects, I to 4in. $52 to $64 ; fine
common, I to 3in. $45 to $60; sheathings,
$38 to $54 ; barn boards, $28 to $30; coffin
boards, $24 to $26.

Hardwoods continue in quiet request with
little change. | Whitewood is in fair demand :
One inch whitewood, $36 to $38; thicker,
$38 to $42 ; 5% inch, $30 to $33 ; saps, inch,
$25 to $30; common, $23 to $25; quartered
oak, $65 to $75; fancy, $85 to $95 ; plain
oak, $35 to $45 ; ash, $38 to $45 ; cherry $90
to $1303 maple, $30 to $40 ; sycamore, quar-

tered inch, $40 to $50; walnut, $100 to
$130.
Shingles are considerably irregular. British

Columbia shingles are in good request, with
dealers behind with orders. | Eastern orders
are irregular. .Dealers say that they are offer-
ing a good many New Brunswick shingles at
$2.75 for extras, without buyers. Other deal-
ers say that the market is better cleaned up at

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

$2.85. It is certain that the present demand is
light, and that building will have to be better
than last year to take care of even a small cut :
Extra cedar, $2.75 to $2.85 ; clear, $2.45 to
$2.50, second clear, $1.75 to $2.10; clear
white, $1.65 to $1.85 ; extra No. 1, $1.85;
British Columbia, 16-inch, five butts to 2 in.
$3.10 to $3.15.

Clapboards continue in small supply, with a
dull market : Extra spruce, $29 to $30 ; clear,
$27 to $28 ; second clear, $24 to $25; pine,
extra, $36 to $3%; clear, $33 to $37 ; second
clear, $28 to $30; California redwood, clear,
$42.50 to $45 ; second grade, $40 to $42.

Laths are fai.ly firm, but trade is quiet:
15-inch, $2.80 to $2.85; 1}4-inch, $2.60 to
$2.70.

Boston, Dec. 31st, 1900.

The output of hemlock in Michigan
this winter will be much less in quantity
than last season, owing to the unsatisfac-
tory condition of the hemlock market.
Hemlock logs are said to be offering at
$3.50 and $4.00.

The proprietors having decided to retire fr m this
busiress, offer their Valuable Limits and Mills for sale.
The concern is well equipped in every respect and 1s in

BUSINESS NOTES.

The Victoria Yukon Trading Company have
sold their saw nill tothe Upper Yukon Con-
solidated Ccempany, Limited.

The McArthur Export Company, Jumber
merchants, are applying for incorporation,
with head office in Quebec city.

It has been decided by the creditors of
Pierce, Watts & Co., of Liverpool, England,
that the estate shall go into bankruptcy.

It is reported on’ reliable authority that the
extensive lumber business and property owned
by George Moffatt & Company, of Dalhousie,
N. B., has been sold to a Boston syndicate.

The transfer includes limits, saw mill, boom

privileges, scows and steam tug, and the con-
sideration is believed to be in the vicinity of
$200,000 ;

The barque Mermaid has been chart-
ered tu load lumber at a British Columbia

port for Chili.

‘Hardwoods are selling slowly,
losing any strength.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.

ONTARIO,

The first few days of the new year
brought more business to the lumbermen
of Ontario than could reasonably be ex-
pected. The open weather permitted
of building operations being continued
almost incessantly, while numerous in-
quiries for stock have been received from
United States dealers. The indications
are that considerable lumber will be
shipped from Ontario to the Eastern
States during the winter months, as the
rail rate from the Georgian Bay district to
Buffalo and Tonawanda jis about $2.50,
which is a fair.comparison with the aver-
age rate by vessel during the season of
1900. As dealers. generally hold light
stocks, they will no doubt keep adding
moderately to their supply during the
winter, so as to be in a position to handle
the increased volume of trade which is
expected early in the spring. Further re-
ports of light stocks have reached us. A
large manufacturer states that in his
Opinion there is less pine lumber in the
hands of manufacturersthan has been the
case for fifteen vears,. Whilethis.may be
an extreme view, it is in line with the
reports of light stocks received from
nearly every section of the province.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,

The complete statistics of lumber ship-
ments from the St. Lawrence for the year
1900 are not yet to hand, but those cover-
ing the Maritime provinces are
compiled in Snowball’s annual circular.
It is shown that the trans-Atlantic ship-
ments from nearly all the ports of New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia were larger
than in the previous year. From Muira-
michi the shipments were 122,000,000
feet, and from St. John 236,000,000 feet,
the latter showing an increase of 50,000,-
ooo feet. The stock of merchantable
spruce and pine wintering on the Mira-
michi is 33,000,000 feet, as compared
with 32,000,000 feet one year ayo and 4o,-
000,000 feet in 1898. . With the’ exception
of 4,500,000 feet, the stock wintering is
spruce. The course of the coming seas-
on’s trad? is still uncertain. High prices
are being asked for 1) x 3 inch deals, but
generally the market is quiet.

the Boston market at $2 75 for extras.

UNITED STATES.

The price list committee of the Missis-
sippi Valley Lumbermen’s Association, at
ameeting held on {January 3rd, adopted
a new list, based onthestatistical condition
of the pine market. No general advance
in prices was made, the changes being for
the purpose of evening up, according to
the volume of stock heid at the mills. The
reports submitted showed that in many
grades light stocks are held. It 1s con-
ceded that consumers of both pine and
hardwoods arecarrying lighter stocks than
usual, this condition applying particularly
to the Eastern States. From reliable in-
formation it is believed that higher prices
will be demanded in the near future, as

r

without

Cedar-
- shingles have declined and are selling in

there seems to be a disposition on the
part of buyers to accept whatever prices
are asked at the present time. Saginaw
dealers who have been looking over the
Duluth market report that holders of Jum-
ber are asking an advance of fifty cents
and one dollar per thousand. A lull in
trade is reported from Buffalo and Tona-
wanda, where there is a shortage of the
better grades and also .12 inch boards
in all grades. The call for spruce seems
to be stronger than that for pine, and
prices are stiffening. In New York city
northern spruce is selling at $19 to $20.
The demand for hardwoods is fair, but a
much better trade is expected after mid-
winter. Sales of shingles are light, as is
also the supply, and an expansion in the
demand would likely bring about higher.
prices.
GREAT BRITAIN.

So far very little has been done by Brit -
ish importers towards contracting for
their regular supplies. The. business
transacted has been confined chiefly to
the eastern. and north-eastern coast.
There appears to be a slightly better feel-
ing in the trade, especially in respect to
Canadian lumber. Messrs. Edmiston
& Mitchells, of Glasgow, in their annual
circular just issued, point out thit the year
witnessed an advance in the price of Can-
adian stock, with the exception of red
pine and birch logs, the demand for which
was less active. Waney pine timber is
quoted at 2s 8d for 17 inch, and 2s 9d for
18 inch of first quality.. Red pine, 4o to 45
feet average, is selling at 214%4d to 22d
per cubic foot, and 30 feet average about
19d. Quebec birch is worth 184 for 15
inch, and 21d for171n. Broad first pine.
deals from Quebec are selling at £26 15s
to £30 per standard; ir inch at £24 to
£26. Second pine deals are held at £20
to £22, third quality at £13 to £14, and
fourth quality at £10 5s to £10 15s for 11
inch and up. Quebec spruce is worth £9
to £10. and New Brunswick spruce £7
5s to £8 5s for 7 and 8 inch, and £8 tos
to £9 Ios for 9 to 11 inch.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
The season thus far has been an ex-
cellent one for lumbering on the Spanish

~ river.

The cooperage market continues quiet.
At Chicago hoops are quoted at from
$10 to $12.

Jobn Patterson has a portable mill at
Goshen, N. B., where he expects to cut
500,000 feet of lumber.

The quantity of logs exported from
Ontario to Michigan during the season of
1900 was 45,850,485 feet.

Ferguson & McFadden, of Ottawa, are
operating quite extensively this winter on
their limits on the Spanish river.

Henry Epps, of Canard, N.S., has
purchased timber property at Elmsdale,
Colchester county, where he is operating
this winter.

Seaman & Company, of Port Arthur,
Ont., have a large quantity of sidings
taken from bridge timber which they

will be prepared to dispose of during the
coming summer.

G. R. Jones, of Moncton, N. B., is
lumbering on the Irishtown road, cutting
spruce, hemlock and hardwood, which he
1s sawing with a portable mill. He ex- _
pects to get out 1,500,000 feet.

The secretary of the Canaaian Manufac-
turers’ Association, Toronto, has received
a communication asking for quotations
on 500,000 feet of lumber and on a quan-
tity of box shooks for shipment to South
Africa.

Mershon & Company, of Saginaw,
Mich., are announced to have purchased
the entire stock of logs which the Arthur
Hill Company are taking out this winter
in the Georgian Bay district. The quan-
tity is estimated at 20,000,000 feet. The
logs will be manufactured at Midland,
Ont., and the lumber shipped to Saginaw.

At Buffalo dealers are taking orders
for hemlock lumber at $13 and $13.50
as the base price. There is a good de-
mand there for all cuts of cedar. Job-
bers are selling 8 foot post with 3 to

4% inch tops at 12 cents; 4% to 5%
inch, 13 cents; 6 inch, 16 cents; Io ft.

with 5 inch tops, 21 cents; 6 inch tops,
24 cents. Cedar posts sell at 45 cents for
firsts and 32 cents for seconds. Best 18
inch shingles are scarce at $3.25 ; 16 inch
at $2.50 ; culls at $1 for 16 inch and $1.25
for 18 inch.

Many things of interest to buyers and
sellers of lumber will be found each week
in the announcements of our advertisers.
Note the changes from week to week an
take advantage of the offers.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

THE BOSTON MARKET.

On spruce lumber the market is very firm.
The unusually mild weather without snow here
has made a demand for spruce and spruce
frames, although 1t may be small, that it 1s not
easy to supply. Certain buyers are reported
to be ready topiay almost’any price for suchan
amount of dimension spruce as they want
at once. But this is by no meansa general
demand. Quotations, although nominally as
follows, would have to be raised considerably
to cover some small business done and bid for.
Ten and 12 inch dimensions, $18; 9 inch and
under, $16; 10 and12 inch random lengths,
10 feet and up, $17; 2x3, 2x4, 2x5, 2x6, 2x7
and 3 x 4, 10 feet and up, $14.50; all other
randoms, 9 inch and under, 10 feet and up,
$15.50; 5 inchand up, merchantable boards,
$15; matched boards, $17 to $17.50; out
spruce boards, $12.50; bundle furring, $14.

Hemlock holds steady, with a small demand
and small offerings: Eastern stock boards,
$14.50 to $15.50; random, $13.50 to 14.50;
Pennsylvania, $16 to $173; boards, rough,
$12.50 to $13.50, planed, $14 to $14.50.

Western pine is firm and higher prices are
asked both by shippers and on the market

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Recent lumber transactions have been
of considerable significance to the trade,
as showing that, notwithstanding the
slight depression in the British market,
Canadian lumber is not likely to be affect-
ed. A Montreal shipper has purchased
the cut of McLachlan Bros., of Arnprior,
most of the stock being intended for the
British and United States trade. The
stock of pine lumber at Collingwood
owned by J. & T. Charlton has been sold
to a Tonawanda house, while Pitts &
Charlton, whose logs were sawn last sea-
son at Victoria Harbor, have sold the
entire cut to the Victoria Harbor Lumber
Co. for their local trade, at what is report-
ed to be a very satisfactory price. These
transactions may be taken as an indica-
tion of the course of trade, and in view of
the light stocks held at producing points,
the feeling is naturally one of confidence.
There are, of course, some stocks of mod-
erate size in the Georgian Bay district,
but these will mostly be shipped out be-
fore the new cut is available for the
market. There is quite a boom in red
pine, and deaiers are showing a desire fo
make contracts for the coming season.

Comparatively speaking, hardwood
stocks are heavier than those of pine, but
the feeling in the trade is equally con-
fident. Itis believed that the inquiries
which are now being received will result
in a heavy movement of stock early in the
spring, and that prices will be maintained.
The fact that the production of hardwood
logs this winter will be from 25 to 40 per
cent. lighter than last season will be a
strong factor in sustaining prices. There
is a good demand for hemlock, which is
selling around $9 per thousand.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The statement showing the stocks win-
tering at the port of Quebec always has
an effect upon the market. This year
the report is favorable, as it is shown that
the stocks of both timber and lumber are
lighter than one year ago. The compara-
tive figures appear in another column.
The decline of the square white pine
trade is noticeable. There is now at
Quebec only about 1,500,000 cubic feet of
square and waney pine, as against 2,200,-
000 one vear ago. Red pine, oak, elm,
and ash timber are in lighter supply,
while birch shows an increase of about
8,coo cubic feet. The stock of pine deals
is nominal, but the quantity of spruce
wintering is nearly twice as'yreatas in the
fall of 1899, although smaller than in the
two previous years. With a little caution
on the part of shippers it should be pos-
sible to maintain current prices of British
stock. The mild weather has improved
the demand on local account and from
the Eastern States, where business is
better than usual at this season of the year.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Retail dealers in Manitoba and the
Territories report a very light demand for
lumber. Some finishing material is be-
ing called for. Winnipeg architects, how-
ever, anticipate a lively building season

in the spring, plans for a number of
important buildings being already under
way. British Columbia lumber manu-
facturers are finding the market rather
quiet. The trade is still in need of ves-
sels, and it is reported that the Italian
consul at Vancouver has gone to Italy to
arrange for a fleet of Italian ships for use
in connection with the British Columbia
lumber industry. Several vessels are
loading at the Chemainus mills for foreign
destinations.

UNITED STATES.

There is a healthy tone to the United
States market. The movement, of course,
is not heavy, but the number of inquiries
for future delivery is almost unprecedent-
ed at this season of the year. Prices are
firm, especially in the east, where the
chief demand is for the better grades of
pine suitable for cutting-up purposes.
Inch boards of all widths are in demand
at Buffalc and Tonawanda, with the sup-
ply almost inadequate. Box lumber for
the most part is in the hands of the box-
makers, who have an average stock of box
and mill culls. The condition of trade in
the east causes dealers to -beheve that
there will be no difficulty in maintaining
present prices and in advancing certain
grades which are in light supply. The
spruce market 1s stiffening. Dealers at
Tonawanda are getting from $1 to $2
more per thousand than one month ago.
The immediate conditions surrounding
the hardwood trade are not quite as fav-
orable as in pine, but the outlook is prom-
ising. It is expected that higher prices
will rule in the near future for black ash,
elm and maple, and as a result dealers are
endeavoring to increase their
whenever possible. There is not much
life to the shingle trade. The stock on
hand at North Tonawanda is reported to
be from 40 to 50 per cent. greater than
that held over last winter, but a scarcity
of 18 inch white pine is reported.

“

GREAT BRITAIN. |,

The British market remains about the
same as before the holidays. The con-
sumption of lumber has shown no im-
provement, and as the course of the mar-
ket is a question of. supply and demand,
higher prices are not !ooked for unless
there should be a more active consump-
tion. Very few contracts for first-open-
water shipments have been entered into.
Canadian stock appears to be holding
more firmly than the Baltic production.
Pine deals in London are in fair demand
on account of the knowledge that stocks
are light. In spruce deals the reverse is
the casein respect to stocks, but not-
withstanding this feature, there has been
some recovery in prices of spruce deals
and planks; 3x9 third spruce is now
held at £9 15s and £10 per standard, as
against £9 5sa few weeks ago. There
is a large supply of 3 x 11 in. in first, sec-
ond and third quality, and particularly of
the New Brunswick production. The
importers contend that Canadian ship-
pers will be unable to obtain the high
prices which are being, asked in some in-
stances.

Il.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

W. C. Irvin, of Dundalk, Ont., is putting
in a stock of 1,000,000 feet of hardwood and
cedar logs this winter.

Kelsey & Gillespie, of Tonawanda, N.
Y., are announced to have purchased the
season’s cut of the J. &. T. Charlton
Lumber Company at Collingwood.

An important lumber deal has just been
completed by which E. H. Lemay, of
Montreal, secures the 1901 cut of white
pine of McLachlin Bros., of Arnprior.
The bulk of this lumber will be exported
to Great Britain and the United States.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

The movement of pine luinber is quite
as large as could be expected in the
month of January. The open winter. has
made it possible to continue building
operations, and the demand thus created
has made heavy inroads on the stocks of
retailers. It is expected that retail deal-
ers may find it necessary to replennish
broken stocks almost immediately, and
that they will enter the market for liber-
al buying early in the spring. Consider-
able rail shipmeats are being made to the
Eastern States, where wholesale stocks
are light. Some sales of deals have been
made by Georgian Bay manufacturers,
and the usual quantity is likely to finda
market in Great Britain this year. The
cuts of the Ottawa Valley -milJs. have
mostly been contracted for, and we are
advised of the sale of a large cut - of
spruce at an advance: of $1.25 per thous-
and over the figures paid for similar
stock lastyear, The hardwood demand
is still a little backward, although manu-
facturers are not weakening, but believe
that all the available stock will find a mar-
ket during the year at good prices. There
is practically no movement of 16 inch
pine shingle, and it is understood that
some manufacturers havea considerable
stock of these on hand.

The production of logs this winter is

- almost certain to be lighter than last seas-

on, owing to unfavorable logging weather
in some districts and the scarcity of men
early in the season.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The outlook for spruce lumber has 1m-
proved during the past week. A more
hopeful feeling prevails in respect to the
British trade, and it is thought that in the
near future shippers will be able to close
their usual contracts at about. the same
figures as last year. The demand from
the United States is showing more ac-

tivity. Spruce dimension, 10 and 12 inch?
is quoted at $18 on Boston rate of freight,
and 9 inch and under at $16. Shingles
are firmer at $2.75 for extra cedar, $2.50
for clear, $2.00 to $2.10 for second clear,
$2.00 for clear white, and $1.85 for No. 1
extra. Laths are quoted at $2.80 to
$2.85 for 154 inch, and $2.60 to $2.70 for
1% inch.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The demand for lumber throughout
Manitoba and the Territories is quiet,
with prices unchanged, but the trade
aré looking forward to an active demand
as soon asspring opens. In some dis-
tricts logging operations have been retard-
ed by lack of snow, but the situation is
now more favorable. A moderate de-
mand for lumber is reported by British
Columbia manufacturers. The statistics
of the export trade show that the year 1900
was 4 very satisfactory one, the shipments
exceeding the previous year.

= UNITED STATES,

Important statistics have been com-
piled of the lumber production in the
Michigan, Wisconsin-and Minnesota dis-
tricts. Last year the total cut of. pine
in these districts was 5,485,261,000 feet,
aS against 6,056,000,000 feet in 1809.
The stock on hand at the mills on Decem-
ber 31st last was 2,839,705,000 feet, as
against 2,728,271,000 at the same date in
1899. The output of hemlock last year was
1,166,284,000 feet, showing an increase of
297,874;000 feet. Thestock of hemlock on
hand, however, increased in still’ greater
proportion, being 287,920,000 feet on
December 1, 1899; and 622,312,000 on
December 1 last. From a. statistical
standpoint, therefore, the lumber market
cannot be said to be particularly strong,
but there are other features, such as the
light stocks held by dealers and the
promising outlook for building operations,

which it 1s thought offset this condition.

During the past week the railroads have
placed orders freely, and there has been
a demand for building lumber much in ex-
cess of what is usual-at this season of the
year. Action has been taken insome in-
stances towards higher prices. A 50 cent
advance On hemlock ‘boards has been
made, and a new yellow pine list adopted
by manufacturers making an average ad-
vance of about one dollar per thousand.
At Pittsbnrg a new price list on pine went
into effect on January 15th, advancing
prices from 50 cents to $1.50.

Some improvement in hardwood prices
is reported. At Boston 1 inch maple is
quoted at $27 to $28 and 1% to2 inch at
$29 to $31. Basswood is in good demand
and brings $31 for r inch No. 1 and 2. An
element inthe hardwood situation is’ the
restricted operations in Wisconsin, where
practically no oak is being put in. This is
apparently the cause of the slump in hem-
lock values, as a large proportion of the
Wisconsin hardwood log crop comes out
with the hemlock, and consequently the
restriction of the one means restriction of
the other. Hemlock logs are selling there

at $3.25, while one year ago as high as.

$6.50 was paid.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The 1eports from the British market are
of a more cheerful tone. Market values,
although practicaliy unchanged, seem to
have reached bottom, and the prices real-
ized at recent auction sales indicate that
higher prices will rule. At a sale held by
Churchill & Sim last week nearly 100,000
pieces of spruce deals and battens were
disposed of at very fair figures. The 3-inch
spruce from Dalhouse, N.B., sold at 48
per standard, an advance of 5 shillings
over previous sales. Second quality 3 x Ir
Quebec spruce brought fro 15s, and
third quality £9 12s 6d. For a line of
2%x7 Inch first, second and third quality

t. John spruce, only £7 5s was realized.
The Quebec pine sold well, first quahty
3x11 bringing £27 and 3xg £20 Ios.
Quebec red pine battens were rather weak,
but on the whole the result of the sale was
considered most satisfactory. In another
column particulars of the Glasgow market
aregiven. It is understood that some
sales of pine have been made at high
prices, and that the stock of these in first
hands is low. Importers have not yet
commenced to buy with any freedom.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
Michigan lumbermen are paying $6 per
thousand feet for maple logs.
The Ottawa Lumber Company recently
sold 100,000 feet of hemlock lumber for
local delivery.

Sutherland & Bailie have moved their
mill to Westchester, N.S., where they will
cut 1;000,000 feet-of lumber.

According to report the lumber cut this
winter on the Sissiboo river in Nova Scotia
will be the largest known for several years.

The city of St. John, N.B., is about to
invite tenders for the supply of 1,600 tons
of hemlock timber for wharf construction.

A. B. Calhoun, of Calhoun’s Mills, West-
moreland county, N.B., will get out about
2,000,000 feet of logs at Beaver Brock, Al-
bert county.

The steamer Truna is loading lumber at
St. John, N. B., for the Canary Islands
and Ireland, the shippers being A. Cushing
& Company.

Henry Boone, of Rowena, Victoria
county, N .B., has been given a contract
to supply a Sydney building firm with
5,000,000 feet of lumber, to be delivered in
two years,

A. L. Wright & Co., of Salisbury, N.
B., are getting out several million feet of
logs on the Little River for their Coverdale
mills. Humphrey & Trites, of Petitcodiac,
are logging extensively on the North river.

It has been estimated that the stock of
lumber in wholesale yards at Albany, N.
Y.. is 60,000,000 feet, composed of 45,000,-
ooo feet-of pine and 15,000,000 feet of
spruce. One year ago the stock was 70,-
000,000 feet.

W. J. Trenouth & Bro., of Powassan,
Out., have two logging camps in operation
this season, but their cut is likely to be
about 5,000 pieces less than last winter,
owing to the scarcity of men in the early
fall and too much snow.

The steamer Caithness. was loading
3,000,000 feet of lumber at Everett, Wash.,

II.

De

when the wharf collapsed, and 700,000
feet of lumber was launched into the water.
She is now loading 1,000,000 feet at the
Moodyville mills, ‘Vancouver, B:. Cato
complete her cargo.

The Bonfield Lumber Company, of Bon-
field, Ont., whose announcement appears
in this issue, expect to have their mill in
Operation next month, when they will be
open to contract to cut bills of hemlock on
short notice. There isa large quantity of
hemlock in the vicinity.

A British firm of timber merchants write
us that they are desirous of securing im-
portations of spruce and red and white
pine from Canada, and are anxious to
negotiate with reliable shippers who are
willing to quote c.i.f. Newcastle-on-Tyne.
The name and address of the firm may be
obtained at this office.

The Ottawa Lumber Co., of Ottawa,
closed a contract last week for the sale of
all the spruce to be cut this year at
their Rouge mill, the greater portion of
which will be shipped to the British
market. The purchasers were the firm
who secured their cut last year, and it is
said that the price was $1.25 per thousand
in advance. The quantity will be from
four to six million feet, which will be cut
largely into three ‘nch deals.

ED

THE GLASGOW TRADE.
Reviewing the timber trade of 1900,
F. A. Lightbody & Company, of Glasgow,
say: In making our annual report of the
timber trade for 1900 we have to chronicle
a very satisfactory year’s trading both with
regard to the volume of business done and

the maintenance of high values.
At the close of 1899 the stocks wére
considerably below the average, and the ac-
tivity of all branches of trade helped to keep

up the advance in prices which had been
established all-round. This applies to all
Canadian wood goods with perhaps
the exception of birch logs. This advance
in prices has been maintained throughout
the whole year, which closes with stocks
firmly held. The stocks of Canadian pine
of both timber and deals arein a position
which warrants holders taking up a firm
attitude in regard to value.

The shipbuilders’ out-turn for 1900
is a record for Scotland, amounting
to 541,031 tons, as compared with

536,872 tons in 1899. The new work
secured by Scotch builders amounts to
about half a million tons, and this ensures
activity in this important industry for the
whole of the coming year. The house
building trade the past year has been very
brisk and the outlook for 1901 is good.

Railway, carriage and wagon builders
have also been very busy and have
accounted for a large quantity of American
oak being used.

The imports from Montreal and Quebec
during the season in pine and spruce have
been very much less than‘for the last num-

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

The lumber trade for the month of Jan-
uary has been of satisfactory volume.
While it could not be called active,
the demand has been sufficient to call for
a considerable quantity of lumber, and to
indicate that the stocks of retail dealers
and consumers have become somewhat
depleted. The prospect is that there will
be a liberal spring trade. The figures
regarding the production and stock of
pine lumber submitted at the annual meet-
ing of the Ontario Lumbermen’s As-
sociation, and published in the report
thereof, are of peculiar interest to the
trade. The total production in the Geor-
gian Bay district last year was 476,000,000
feet, an increase of 125,000,000 teet over
the previous year. The stock on hand
December 31st last was 216,000,000 feet,
as against 120,000,000 feet one year ago.
Of this stock 92,000,000 feet had already
been contracted for, leaving but 124,000,-
ooo feet of unsold lumber at the mills.
This is less than the increased production
of 1900, and indicates the extent of the
demand during last year. When it is
considered that at the close of 1896 the
stock of lumber at Georgian Bay mills was
Over 400,000,000 feet, it will readily be
seen that the present supply is not large.
The decreased production in Michigan is
also a factor to be reckoned with. The
estimated production of pine lumber in
the Georgian Bay district this year 1s 500-
000,000 feet, but in the Ottawa valley a
decreased cut is looked for. Operations
in hardwoods are on a very limited scale.
The statement was made at the meeting
in Toronto that the output this season
would not exceed one-half that of last
year. Some manufacturers are taking out
no hardwood logs this winter. The pro-

_will stiffen.

duction of hemlock will also be curtailed:
The above facts lead to the conclusion
that the lamber market is in a healthy
condition, and that the demand 1s likely
to be sufficient to consume the entire
supply.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The situation in respect to export trad
has not changed,and as far as can be learn
ed the shippers on this side have purchas-
ed a much smaller quantity of stock than
usual, as they have been unable to close
contracts with British importers. The
local demand is a little more active,
as dealers are commencing to stock up
for the spring trade. The reconstruction of
burned buildings in Montreal will call for
a considerable quantity of lumber. Ced-
ar shingles are firm, but the demand is
light. Stocks are small, and with a more
active demand prices would be likely to
advance. Extra cedarsare quoted, on
Boston rate of freight, at $2.75 to $2.80,
clear at $2.50 to $2.60, and second clear
at $2.00 to $2.10.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The position of the British market is
practically unchanged. Importers are
still holding off, and the opinion seems t-
be that the prices which shippers are ask
ing are higher than the conditions of
trade will warrant. The consumption of
lumber is of average volume, and.the out-
look for the year iso a satisfactory c har
acter, but the tendency of prices seems to
be downward, particularly for the smaller
sizes. Spruce deals in 11-inch widths are
in good demand, but this is not the case
with the narrow widths. One report
states that within the next two months the
price of battens, of which thereisa large
stock, is likely to decline from ten to
twenty shillinys per standard. At a re-
cent London sale third quality Quebec
spruce, 3x 9-11 inch, sold at £9 I5s per -
standard, and 2 x 9-12 inchat £12 6s.

UNITED STATES,

The developments in the United States
lumber market during the past week
have been of a decidedly favorable char-
acter. Eastern dealers visited producing
points and made considerable purchases
of lumber for shipment when navigation
opens. The opinion is that while lumber
prices may not advance to any extent,
there is not likely to be any,weakening.
The stocks of pine lumber at Tonawanda
show a decrease cf 20 per cent. as com-
pared with those of one year ago. The
eastern trade seems to be quite promising,
a heavy demand for building material be-
ing looked for. At Buffalo there is a
scarcity of the higher grades of pine and
of 10 and 12 inch boards in almost all
grades. The demand for hardwoods is
more encouraging. White ash is being
purchased by agricultural implement
manufacturers, there is a better condition
in the maple trade, and basswood ap-
pears to be gaining strength. It is ex-
pected that with a larger demand prices
Shingles and lath are strong,
with afair demand. It has been pre-
dicted that lath prices will be very much
higher within the next ninety days.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

The lumber trade has shown more ac-
tivity during the past week. Manufactur-
ers are being urged to ship stock that
was contracted for some time ago, but
which has remained in their yards await-
ing shipping orders. Retail dealers are
stocking up to some extent, evidently in
anticipation of a good local demand for
building material as soon as weather con-
ditions become favorable for outside
work. Bridge timber is also more en-
quired for. While from point of demand
the pine market is not particularly strong,
manufacturers are so united in favor of
maintaining prices that buyers have little
hope of being able to effect purchases at
Icwer fizures ; consequently orders for
spring delivery are expected to be placed
earlier than usual. An increased num-
ber of enquiries for basswood lumber 1s
the only change in the hardwood situation.
Orders are still light, while manufacturers
are holding their stock firmly.

Tue reports from the woods are gener-
ally favorable. In some sections where
deep snow and changeable weather had
interferred with operations, the conditions
are now more favorable, and an average
input of logs is expected.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The comparatively small stock of spruce
deals wintering at the port of Quebec has
been of much assistance in effecting sales
for the 1901 production. It is understood
that the Quebec shippers have made con-
siderable purchases, and that the prices
realized by the manufacturers have been
very satisfactory, in some instances a sub-
stantial advance over those of one
year ago. It seems to be the opinion
that the production of deals in the pro-
vince of Quebec will be somewhat cur-
tailed this year, owing to the increased out-
put of spruce logs for pulp wood and the
possibility of a yreater production of lum-
ber for the United States market. Ia
New Bruaswick and Nova Scotia the
weather has been favorable for logging
Operations, and operators expect to be
able to get out their estimated cut. The
demand from the United States is quiet,
but the number of inquiries for stock is
increasing. Cedar shingles are selling at
the following prices on Boston rate of
freight: Extra cedar, $2.75 to $2.80;
clears, $2.50 to $2.60; second clears,
$2.00 to $2.10; clear white, $2.00; extra
No. 1, $1.85.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,

_ The winter has been very favorable for
logging operations in the Rainy River
district, and the manufacturers there who
supply the Manitoba market are anticipat-
ing a good demand for lumber in the
spring. At the present time trade is
quiet, and the chief interest is centred in
the forthcoming meeting of the Western
Retail Lumbermen’s Association. The
shingle manuficturers of British Columbia
expect bythe recent arrangement tobe able
to better regulate .he supply according
to the requirements of the murket, and
thus prevent cutting of prices. Export
business is quite active,

-menced to move actively.

UNITED STATES,

There have been indications during the
past week that spring trade is beginning.
Manufacturers on the upper lakes report
a number of sales toeastern dealers, the
stock to be shipped immediately upon the
opening of navigation. Prices in the Du-
luth market are especially firm on No»
1, 2,and 3 common boards, but No. 4
and 5 boards are slightly weaker. Piece
stuff is strong. Inch Norway is not show-
ing the strength which characterizes the
restof the market. Buffalo and Tona-
wanda reports a fair movement of pine, al-
though there has been some cutting of
prices on the coarser grades, especially
box and No. 2 and 3 barn. The higher
grades are firm and showing an upward
tendency. Hardwoods have not yet com-
Some of the
southern woods seem to be called for to
a greater extent than birch, maple, elm
and other northern woods. The excep-
tion to this is basswood, which is showing
much strength and which promises to be
in excellent demand this vear. Rock elm
is also showing a degree of strength, and
white ash is being held by some dealers
for higher prices. | Lath and shingles are
firm. The best qualiiy of white pine
shingles is selling in the Albany market
at $4.25 to $4.50, and ciear butts at $3.25
to $3 50.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The British lumber market is showing
signs of improvement. Sales have been
made of third quality Quebec spruce deals
at £8 5s, delivered at London. This is
an advance of three shillings over the price
of one year ayo, and indicates the strong
position which Canadian deals occupy in
the British market. Now that the long
spell of delay in purchasing has been
broken, it is expected that a much
greater disposition to contract will be
shown. Prices at recent sales have been
satisfactory, 3xI1 spruce making £10 15s
per standard. The consumption in Lon-
don is improving, and there is a fairly
active demand for the larger sizes of pine
deals.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

FRASER RIVER LUMBER COMPANY.

The Fraser River Lumber Company
have just completed their extensive shingle
mills at New Westminster, B. C., the ca-
pacity of which is 150,000 shingles per day
ef ten hours. They are now ina position
to supply all dealers who may require
British Columbia red cedar shingles. The
president of this company is Mr. James
Sharpe, of Burk’s Falls, Ont., who has
been connected with the lumber, shingle
and mercantile business fora number of
years, and who is well kaiown throughout
Ontario, having sat in Parliament with Sir
Oliver Mowat. The manager, Mr. Thom-
as B. Tait, has had twenty-five years’ ex-
perience as a manufacturer of and dealer
in shingles in eastern Canada, doing a
large business in both the Canadian and
United States markets. The direction of
the business of this company being in the
hands of these gentlemen should be a suf-
ficient guarantee to dealers that they
will at all times be supplied with a first-
class quality of shingles, and that they will
receive fair treatment. The announce-
ment of the company will be found on
another page.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

It is almost impossible to find a manu-
facturer who has not implicit confidence
in the future of white pine prices. It is
this confidence, rather than any excep-
tional demand, which is giving the present
firm tone to the market. There is an
average volume of stock moving, but the
quantity is not abnormal. Reports from
the Ottawa valley state that stocks at mill
points are practically all sold, and that
prices cannot be otherwise than steady.
There is a marked scarcity of the smaller
dimensions, such as 2x4 and 2x6, which
have advanced in price from 50 cents to
one dollar per thousand; 3x12 common is
also strong. Hardwoods are moving more
freely, with an urgent demand tor bass-
wood and black ash. The stock of both
these varieties has become almost ex-
hausted, and higher prices are likely to
rule before the new cut is ready for the
market. A light stock of hardwood logs
is being taken out this winter, and the
quantity manufactured this season is cer-
tain to be much less than last year.

The lath market has_ been steadily
gaining strength, until now $2.75 is be-
ing asked at the mills for No. 1. The
bulk of the supply has passed out of the
hands of manufacturers, and is likely to
be so controlled as to bring still higher
prices before spring. Shingles are also
showing a tendency to advance in price,
with quotations somewhat varied.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,

The spruce lumber market 1s showing
some improvement, Random lengths
are not as firm as the reyular sizes, but
there has been no miaterial decline in
price. On the other hand, deals of wide
sizes are particularly strong and meet
with ready sale. The hemlock market is
firm and stocks light.

New Brunswick cedar shingles are ex-
periencing afair demand for midwinter,
and stocks in the hands of mannfacturers
are not large. The winter production
this year has not been nearly as large
as last season, and stocks, especially
of the better grades, instead of accumu-
lating since last fall, have been steadily
decreasing, the winter demand having ex-
ceeded the output. The result, it is
thought, will be seen when spring trade
Opens in a marked advance in prices.
This opinion is so general as to establish
a remarkably firm market for this season
of the year. On Boston rate of freizht
the quotations are: Extras, $285 to $3;
clears, $2.60 to $2.65 ; second clears, $2.-
2.10 to $2.25 ;extri N». 1, $1.60to $1.85 ;
clear whites, $2 to $2.25. There is no
doubt but that an occasional commission
house is shading these figures about ten
cents per thousand, their action being the
result of the ignorance of some smali ship-
per as to actual conditions. The larger
producers are firm im their convictions
that shingles will bring more money be-
fore May, $3.15 to $3 25 for extras being
predicted.

UNITED STATES.

The white pine lumber market of the

United States is showing evidences of

spring buying. A large number of deil-
ers from the east and Chicago visited
Duluth last week and effected consider-
able purchases. Notwithstanding the
Opinion previously expressed, that white
pine prices would not be advanced, it is
said to be the purpose of the Mississippi
Valley Lumbermen’s Association to re-
vise the entire list at its meeting to be
held next week. In the east there is an
improved demand for box lumber. Ten-
inch pine box is selling in Buffalo at $18.
A scarcity of all cutting-up grades is re-
ported from Buffalo and Tonawanda, while
in the la'ter market numerous orders
have been placed for pine for shipment to
Great Britain. Spruce lumber is strong
and dry stock getting scarcer. The de-
mand for hardwoods is still light, but as
the stock on hand is not heavy there is a
disposition to stock up for a marked re-
vivalin trade early in the spring. Bass-
wood andash are particularly firm. There
is an unusually good dewand for shingles
and lath. A fair supply of red cedars has
prevented a famine in shingles which it
is thouzht would otherwise have occurred.
Red cedars are selling in Buffalo at from
25 to 50 cents less than the corresponding
grades of white pine. A Detroit firm is
said to have cornered the lath market at
the upper lake mills, and it is believed
that a decided advance in lath will be
witnessed in the near future.

GREAT BRITAIN,

A representative of a British timber
journal is now in Sweden, and reports
that the lumber market there is, contrary
to €xpectations, very firm. Deals are
particularly strong, and sales are being
made at an advance over last year’s
prices, while almost all the large shippers
have sold more than one-third of their
estimated production this year. This in-
form ition has given strength to the British
market and courage to buvers, and the
outlook is more favorable than it was one
month ago. Pine deals are quoted at
£26 to £30 for first quality, and £20 to
4,22 pounds for second quality. Quebec
spruce ranges from £8 to £10. Con-
tracts have been entered into for 3x9
second quility at £8 15s; 3x11, £10
5s; and 3x11 thirds at £9 Ios, c.i.f. Lon-
don. Ata recent auction sale 3 x 11 first
quality pine brought £23 tos to £25,
seconds selling at £16 tos. These prices,
however, are lower than ruling quotations
for good specifications. The timber mar-
ket isa little more active. Waney pine
is selliny at 2s rod to 3s 1d per cubic foot
for 19 to 20 inch average ; red pine, 21s to
21s 3d for 45 to 50 feet average ; elm, 2s
11d to 35 3d for 45 to 50 feet average ;
ash, 25 4d to 2s 7d for 13 to 15 inch.
Sales of virch have recently been made at
Is 6d to 1s 7d for an average of 16 inch,
while birch planks from St. John have
sold at £9 per standard.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

The quantity of lumber which has been
sold since the closing down of the mills has
made large inroads. upon the stocks in
pile, and has brightened the outlook for
spring trade. At the Georgian Bay mills
the stock of unsold lumber is compara-
tively small, and with an active spring
demand the entire supply would scon be
cleaned up. Somemanufacturers report an
increased demand for mill culls, and sales
are reported to have been made at $12 at
the mill. The position of the pine market
generally 1s regarded as firm, with the
prospect of an advance in certain grades
which are in light supply. A good car
tradeis being done from some of the
mills, A strong demand has arisen for
hemlock, which is expected to sell at high-
er prices this year. The supply of dry
stock is practically exhausted, and a
shortage in the log output is expected.
Hardwoods are fairly active, although
consumers are not purchasing with much
liberality, apparently believing that prices
will not advance. Nevertheless, the bulk
of the hardwood lumber is in the hands of
parties who will strongly oppose any de-
cline in values, particularly as present
prices do not represent more than a fair
margin of profit. An increased number
of inquiries is reported for shingles and
lath. A Detroit party is announced to
have purchased 35,000,000 lath in Detroit,
Ashland, Duluth, Midland, Ont., and
other lake ports, with the object of secur-
ing a corner in that product. In Toron-
to No. 1 lath is selling at $3.25 wholesale,
and No. 2 at $2.50.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Although the demand for lumber
from builders is small, the outlook is
somewhat encouraging. Shippers on this
side have received more_ hopeful news
from their representatives in England re.

garding the condition of the British mar-
ket, and it seems probable that there will
be an average consumption of Canadian
spruce. The Quebec spruce is expected
to bring prices equally as high as one
year ago, but on the Maritime province
production some shading is being done,
equal, perhaps, to one dollar per thous-
and. Although the freight market has
not declined to the extent that was expect-
ed, chartering is quite active. A number
of vessels have already Leen engaged to
load lumber at St. John, while it is an-
nounced that twenty-three vessels are un-
der charter to load at Halifax for the
United Kingdom in May. There 1s a
particularly good demand at the present
time for South American specifications,
which command high prices, The Unit-
ed States market is steadily improving
and pi.cesare firmer. ~The best quality
of cedar shingles are selling in small lots
at $2.85, but sales are reported slightly
below this figure.

The estimates which have been made
indicate that the cut oflogs this year in
New Brunswick will be considerably less
than last year. The St. John river will
produce about the same quantity, but on
the Miramichi and Restigouche rivers it
is estimated that the quantity will be little
more than one-half that of last year.

UNITED STATES.

Recent snow storms have somewhat
checked the demand for !umber in Certain
sections of the United States, but the
purchases by dealers have been sufficiently
numerous to add to the confidence which
has been exhibited by the trade for some
time past. At Duluth and Ashland a
number of important sales have been made
at top prices, Chicago and eastern dealers
being the principal buyers. At Chicago
and Minneapolis there is a shortage of
No. I, 2, and 3 boards, as well as some
lines of dimension stuff, while the stocks
there generally are by no means large.
Advice has been received that some
manufacturers have marked up their
stock fully one dollar per thousand. In
the east, particularly Buffalo and Tona-
wanda, higher prices are being asked for
No. 1 cuts and better and barn boards,
while 10 inch pine box 1s selling at $18, 8
inch at $17, and 6 inch at $16.50. Mill
culls are held at $15.

Maple and basswood are the strong

’ features of the hardwood trade, which is

not showing an improvement correspond-
ing to that of pine and spruce. Inch
maple is selling in Buffalo at $22, and
seems to be much scarcer than the thick

sizes. The opinion there is that the sup-
ply of hardwood by lake this season will
be less than in late years. Rock elm 1s
a little stronger, selling at $21 to $23, and
some dealers are asking an advance of
one dollar over our quotations on white
ash, but we do not think that the bulk of
sales are being uiade above $34 for 1%
to 2 inch and $36 for 2% to 4 inch.

GREAT BRITAIN.

Representatives of Canadian shippers
are now canvassing the British market,
and are reported to have been successful
in effecting considerable sales. The un-
certainty which existed among buyers as
to the future stability ofthe market has
given place to: more general confidence.
Considerable sales of spruce are announc-
ed to have been madeto Spain, The chief
buying in Great Britain up to present time
has been by London houses, and transac-
tions have usually been for deal specifica-
tions, the narrower widths being some-
what negiected. At a recent sale held by
Churchill & Sim, London, 3x11 first
quality pine bought £28 5s per standard,
second quality £19 15s, and.third quality
Zl 15s. Spruce brought £12 ssto £12
15s 3x9 for firsts, £10 5s for scconds, £9
Tos for thirds, and £8 ss for fourths. Birch
timber sold well, showing an upward
tendency. Quebec rock elm also made
fair prices. In Glasgow some sales of
Quebec ash have recently been made at
high prices, and the stock of that timber is
becoming small.

THE WHITE PINE SITUATION,

A careful review of the conditions sur-
rounding the white pine lumber market
leads to the conclusion that the situation
as a whole is particularly strong and singu-
larly free from any disturbing elements.
The building outlook throughout Canada
and the United States is promising, the
agricultural community is enjoying a fair
measure of prosperity, the steel and iron
industry is in a prosperous condition, and
manufacturing industries generally are
Operating to their full capacity. These
conditions are favorable to an active con-
sumption of white pine lumber.

From a statistical standpoint the pine
market is strong. There is but a small
stock of unsold lumber at the Ottawa vyal-
ley mills, while the bulk of the production
of the coming season has already been
contracted for. In the Georgian Bay dis-
trict the stock is equally light and much
less than at the corresponding period for the
pastifew years. A gentleman who towards
the close ofthe sawing season visited all

Il.

the lake mills, is authority for the state-
ment that the stock of merchantable lum-
ber at Cutler, Blind River, John’s Island,
Little Current, French River, Midland,
Collingwood, and the Parry
Sound Lumber Company's stock at Parry
Sound, did not exceed 40,000,000 feet, and
since that time about 20,000,000 feet of this
stock has been sald, ‘eaving but 20,000,000
feet of the stock then on hand still unsold.
Late sawing operations would, of course,
increase the quantity of unsald lumber to
some extent, but would still leave the total

ooo feet, which is slightly heavier than last
year but much less than in the years 1894,
1895, 1896 and 1897, when the stock was
about 4,000,000,000 feet. It is estimated
that there will be required for consumption
this year in the United States five and one-
half billion feet of white pine, with a stock
at the beginning of the year of one-half that
amount.

Another factor which must be consider-
ed is the annual decrease in the quantity of
white pine lumber manufactured the
United States. From over8,500,000,000 feet
in 1890, the product has declined to less than
5,500,000,000 feet last year, The Chica-
go district, including both shores of Lake
Michigan and the upper peninsula of Mich-
igan, has decreased from a maximum of
nearly 2,500,000,000 feet to a little over
I,000,000,Goo feet.

Although the winter thus has been favor-
able tor logging in Ontario, the output of
white pine is not likely to be excessive. An
estimate made a short time ago placed the
output of the Georgian Bay and northern

districts at 500,000,000 feet, but this quan-
tity seems likely to be reduced on account
of the prevalence of smallpox in some of
thelumbering camps. Orders have been
issued directing that all the men in camps
in certain districts shall be vaccinated.
This may bring about a cessation of work
fora time anda consequent falling off in
the production of logs. |

there seems reason to expect that the

the active building season approaches,

tions.

D. E. Sprague, of Winnipeg, expects to
float 8,000,000 feet of logs down the
Roseau and Red riversthis spring. Last
year a considerable quantity of the cut was
hung up owing todry weather.

During last year Charles J. Willis &
Company, of Sackville, N. B., shipped for
Curwen & Company, of Liverpool, Eng-
land, 16,998,431 feet of lumber, employing
fifteen barques and five steamers.

A Montreal firm are desirous of corres-
ponding with parties capable of contract-
ing for the manufacture and delivery ofa
large quantity of round, flatted and squared
timber, either hewn or sawn, in the vicin-
ity of Parry Sound. Their name and ad-
dress may be obtained at this office.

John Kilburn last week returned toFred-
ericton, N.B., from the scene of his lum-
bering operations on the Upper St. John
river. He states that thus far the season
has been favorable for logging. He esti-
mates the total cut on the St. John river
this winter at between 90,000,000 and 95:-
000,000 feet. His operations will represent
about 10,000,000 feet, which will include
2,000,000 feet hung up last season. The
cost of getting out logs has been much
greater than for several years past.

The estimated lumber cut on the Mira-
michi river, in New Brunswick, this season
will be fifty million feet, about one-half of
the Miramichi cut of last year. The Resti-
gouche cut of this season will be little over
half last season’s, which was 47,000,000
feet, cut almost wholly in Quebec and on
lands of the N. B. Railway Co. Practically
no cedar will be cut on the Restigouche
this season, as the shingle business was so
very unsatisfactory last spring that the
operators did not arrange to get out any
considerable quantities of cedar.

The importations of sawed lumber from
Canada into the United States for the eleven
months ending November 30, 1900,
amounted to 501,490,000 feet ofanestimated
value of $6,003,460. This was against a
total importation during the same period of
1899 of 626,316,000 feet, valued at $6,459,-
290. During the eleven months of 1900

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.

(Correspondence of the Canava Lu MBERMAN.)

Businessis almost at a standstill in local
lamber circles, and comparatively little
shipping is being done. Prices have re-
mained steady for the past month, and it is
not likely that they will undergo any
change till the opening of the spring ex-
port trade. A prominent shipper stated
to-day that the prospects for the spring
shipping to the European and American
markets are exceedingly bright. Freight
rates promise to be reduced on ocean
bottoms, as greater facilities will be af-
forded by the increased number of vessels
which will be available for the lumber trade.
The export trade promises to open early
this season, and set in with a rush at that.

There is now standing in Ottawa yards
a good supply of seasoned stocks suitable
for the English market, and these will be
required just as soon as they can be
shipped. The Ottawa lumber business
has now practically recovered the standing
it lost by reason of the fire, and the coming
season’s shipping promises to be strong
and steady.

In the local planing mills there is a fair
run of work on stock stuff, doors, sashes,
etc. As soon as building operations are
resumed in the spring on a large scale, as
they undoubtedly will be, greater demands
will be made on the output of these mills,
and work will increase accordingly.

Mr. J. R. Booth is hauling considerable
lumber from his limits by railway. A
branch road tapping these limits connects
with the Parry Sound branch of the Canada
Atlantic Railway, over which the logs are
hauled direct from the limits to the Ottawa
mill. At the mill they are manufactured
into lumber direct from the cars and are
thus ready for shipping and piling in short
time. If these logs were transferred by
the waterway, they would not arrive at the
mill before August next, many of them only
in time for the following summer’ s cutting.
Mr. Booth’s mill is partly employed cutting
the supply of logs brought by rail, and thus
work is supplied in the mill and yards to a
large number the year round.

The Hull Pulp Co., which was recently
incorporated with large capital, has applied
to the Hull city council for exemption from
taxation. The company proposes to erect
a large pulp mill on the site of the Hull
Lumber Co.’s mill which was destroyed in
the April fire. Amongst other capitalists
interested in the project are H. K. Egan,
W. C. Edwards, M. P., and Hiram Robin-
son.

The E. B. Eddy Co's new establishments
have been fitted throughout with automatic
sprinklers, furnishing a safe-guard against
the spread of fire. Water pressure is fur-
nished from a large tank placed on an ele-
vated platform near the mills.

Early in the spring building operations
will commence on fibre ware and tub and
pail factories, and the large paper mill
will also be erected. The match factory
and paper mills erected during» the last
summer and fall are running full time.

Mr. W.'H. Rowley, secretary treasurer
of the E. B. Eddy Co., is one ofa nu ber
of capitalists who. have organized a com-
pany with the purpose in view of developing
the pulpwood industry of Quebec Province.
Mills will be erected at a suitable point.

Reports received in Ottawa from the
woods go to show that the lumbering
operations are progressing favorably.
Early in the season a lack of frost was com-
plained of, but this condition has been
remedied by the weather king. A con-
siderable quantity of pulp wood will be
taken out where posible this winter.

Mr. J. R. Booth has a large gang of
men at work making extensive rock ex-
cavations on and near the site of the Mc-
Kay Milling Co.’s mill which was destroyed
in the April fire. Mr. Booth purposes
erecting a large mill on the site, but
whether it will bea pulp or grist mill he
will not say. The water courses are also
being deepened and widened to improve
the water power.

Mrs. J. M. Carrier, relict of the’ well
known lumberman of that name, died last
week at the family residence, Ottawa, at
a ripe old age. Deceased was widely
known in and about Ottawa.

It is rumoured that Bailey Bros., of
Aylmer, purpose rebuilding their saw mill
which was burned down last summer.
Before the fire the firm was cutting lumber
for Mr. A. Fraser, of Ottawa.

TIMBER LIMIT SALE.

An important timber berth sale took
place at the Crown Lands office, Frederic-
ton, N.B., on February 13th, when sixteen
berths, all but one of which are located
along the Nepisiguit river, were disposed
of. The great interest taken in the sale
was shown by the many prominent lum-
bermen in attendance, among whom were
F. W. Sumner, of Moncton; Henry Hil-
yard, of St. John; P. J. Burns, Geo. Rob-
ertson, Frank Curran and O. F. Stacey,
of Bathurst ; A. J. H. Stewart and C. A. Cc.
Bruce, of Chatham; E. Sinclair, of New-
castle; George Moffatt, of Dalhousie ;
W. P. Lowelland Wm. Engel, of Bangor,
Me.; Frank Todd, St. Stephen, and J. R.
McConnell, of Marysville.

The first berth offered, two miles on
Powlogan river, north of St. Joho road,
was bid in by Frank Todd, St. Stephen, at
$11 per mile.

Fifteen berths on the Nepisiguit, aggre-
gating 120 square miles, were each bid in
by J. H. Barry, of Fredericton, at the
nominal price of $8.50 per mile.

The sale netted the crown lands depart-
ment $1,042, whereas it was expected that
the receipts would be several thousand
dollars.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

A correspondent, writing from Ottawa,
states that th: unsold stock of lumber in
the Ottawa valley is almost nothing, and
that he does not believe that there is any
dry stock in first hands. This opinion
bears out the statement made in our last
issue that the stock of white pine is much
less than at the corresponding periods of
previous years. Manufacturers are con-
stantly receiving orders for immediate and
spring shipment, but the number of re-
quests forearly shipment indicate that
retail dealers and consumers are carrying
light stocks. Within the next few weeks
this demand 1s certain to be increased, as
bills for buildings, bridge work, wharves,
corporation supplies, etc., wili call for no
small quantity of stock.

The building season is opening up ina
most Satisfactory manner, and seems to
augur well forthe consumption of a large
quantity of lumber. The hardwood de-
mand is sti!l comparatively light, but
manufacturers are holding prices firmly.
A large number of inquiries for stock has
been received from British importers, but
as far as can belearned few transactions
have taken place. The reason for this,
we understand, is that manufacturers
have refused to dispose of their better
grades suitable for the English market at
the prices offered. Shingles and lath are
gaining in strength. Some dealers in
Toronto are asking $2.75 for the best
quality of pine shingles.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The outlook for British trade from the
St. Lawrence is more hopeful than last
year, owing to the expectation of lower
freight rates. The excessive rates which
ruled last season were a great handicap to
the shipment of lumber, and made it dif-
ficult for shippers to fulfill contracts with-
out loss, The charters effected for early
spring sailing have been on more reason-
able terms. An average quantity of
spruce and pine deals has been placed
with British importers, andit is understood
that the prices compare favorably with
those received for last year’s production.
The spruce of the lower provinces has not
been taken as freely as might be wished
for, but buyers are now showing a greater
desire to close contracts. Operations in
the woods have progressed very satisfac-
torily, but just now some of the firms
have been compelled to cease work on
account of the deep snow.

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.—
There is not much change to report re-

garding market prices for I.ew Brunswick
cedar shingles. About the usual volume
of trade for midwinter is reported, and
prices if anything are hardening, in re-
sponse to the demand of many of the pro-
ducers that they be paid $3 or better for
Extras and corresponding prices for lower
grades. Upper grade shingles are cer-
ainly in very short supply, and quantity
in makers’ hands is depleting instead of
increasing. The bulk of actual sales are
made on the basis of Boston freights at
the following: Extras, $2.85 to $2.90;
Clears, $2.55 to $2.60; 2nd Clear and
Clear Whites, $2.10 to $2.25. As stated
above, the tendency of the market is to-
wards higher prices, especially for Extras
and Clears. The outlook would certainly
indicate that manufacturers who are
strong enough to hold their stock of these
grades for six weeks would then easily
realize their i7eas of values.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,

Retail dealers in Winnipeg have given
little attention to business during the
past week, interest being centered in the
annual meeting of the Western Retail
Lumbermen’s Association. The reports
submitted at this meeting show that
cutting of prices by dealers has been quite
prevalent, but negotiations are now under
way which it is hoped will result in es-
tablishing a more uniform price list.
Wholesale prices are steady, and there is
a good prospect fora large demand for
lumber in the spring. British Columbia
manufacturers report an average volume
of trade. Shippers to foreign countries
find it difficult to obtain suitable vessels
for early loading. Two charters were
made during January, one to Cork and the
other to Callao, Burrard Inlet being the
loading point. The freight rate to the
United Kingdom is 85 shillings, Mel-
bourne or Adelaide 60 shillings, Free-
mantle 7o shillings, Tientsin 75 shillings,
and Shanghai 65 shillings,

UNITED STATES.

The lumber trade of the United States
is developing very satisfactorily. Apart
from the districts that have suffered from
severe winter weather, there has been an
expansion in demand and a hardening ten-
dency in prices. Large purchases have
been made at upper lake mill points. In
white pine there is reported a light supply
of No. 2 dimension boards and piece
stuff. The unsold stock on the docks is
being rapidly cleaned up, and the new cut
is being contracted for quite freely. The
logging season, however, has been unusu-
ally favorable, and a heavy cut of pine

WEEKLY EDITION.

lumber is likely to be made this year.
Were it not for this feature, it is beleved
that there would be a general advance in
prices, as there is every prospect of a
large consumption of lumber this year
for building and other purposes. In the
Saginaw valley Canadian stock is held at
$15 to $18, and box lumber at $15. Light
receipts of spruce at Boston and New
York have strengthened that lumber. For
13-foot stock in firsts and seconds $19.50
to $21 is being asked in New York.
Spruce lath 1s in excellent demand. Quo-
tations at Bangor, Me., are $2.50 to $2.75.

Dealers are booking orders more liber-
ally for hardwoods. Basswood is much
enquired for, and soft elm is moving
moderately. The former is strong, and is
expected to sell at higher prices before
long. Box culls are selling in the Chicago
market at $12.50, which represents an ad-
vance of 50 cents over recent quotations.
Hemlock is being purchased steadily in
Buffalo and Tonawanda, chiefly for the
Pan-American buildings. The base price
is $13.

GREAT BRITAIN.

Considerable business has been closed
recently in pine and spruce forthe British
market. Agents of Canadian houses
have made sales of spruce at the following
prices, delivered on vessel at London:
3.x I1 second quality, £10 5s; 3x9 sec-
ond quality, £8 15s; thirds, £9 10s and
£8 5s; fourths, £8 5s and £7 155; 3x7
third quality, £7 15s. Such sales as have
been made show a tendency towards high-
er prices, but owing to the somewhat un-

settled condition of the timber market
buyers are not disposedto contract very
heavily. A report from London states
that pine and spruce are being placed
quite freely, but 1t seems that the buying
has been largely confined to London, as
at Liverpool and other ports trade is
quiet. At Glasgow there are occasional
enquiries for fourth quality pine deals,
which are scarce and strong on the belief
that a very limited quantity will be im-
ported this year. The freight market is
fairly active, but there is every prospect
that rates will be considerably lower than
last year. The fixtures already made
show a decline of about five shillings.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

The total receipts of lumber at the port
of New York during 1900 was 1,246,014,604

Cameron & Co., of Ottawa, are offering
for sale a considerable quantity of white
pine mill run boards, shipping cull shorts
and dressing sidings, also some brown ash,
soft elm, and basswood.

The St. Anthony Lumber Co., of Whit-
ney, Ont., will handle its own cut during
the coming season, instead of selling the
output to the Export Lumber Company, as
was done for several years previous to 1900.

A British firm are desirous of arranging
with Canadian manufacturers for the ship-
ment to England of large quantities of sash
and doors and unfinished moulding stock.
Persons interested are requested to com-

A large timber deal was consummated at
Halifax, N. S., on February 22nd last,
when a syndicate, including W. D. Beard-
more, of Toronto, Henry Patton, of Albany,
N. Y., and H. R. Wells, of Canton, N. Y.,
purchased the extensive lumber property
of the Young Bros.’ Company at St. Mar-
garet’s Bay and Ingraham River, thirty
miles from Halifax. The property includes
timber limits on the Indian, Ingraham,
East and Hubbard's rivers, and the large
mills at Ingraham River, and is one of the
most valuable in the province. The con-
sideration is said to have been $250,000.
The new company propose to carry on the
business as at present, but will likely in-
crease the output and establish other in-
dustries.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION

LUMBER TRADE CONDITIONS.

The tenth annual meeting of the Missis-
sippi Valley Lumbermen’s Association was
held in Minneapolis on February i1gth. An
exhaustive report was submitted by the
secretary, from which we extract the fol-
lowing bearing upon the condition of the
white pine lumber market :

The three conditions most strongly con-
ducing to a season of heavy demand for
lumber, making the maintenance of a firm
and uniform price possible, exist to-day.
They are, first, the general shortage of
stock ; second, the general prosperity and
purchasing power of the country; third,
the unguestioned building activity of the
coming season

Stocks in the hands of the dealers
throughout our distributing territory are
much less than normal. This is but natur-
al when the uncertain state of the market
for the past year is taken into considera-
tion. The dealers bought stock only as
they needed it for immediate sale, as there
was nothing to be gained by piling up
lumber. Asa result retail stocks are gen-
erally inadequate to take care of the con-
sumption which will begin as soon as
weather conditions are favorable for spring
work,

The indications point to a large amount
of building during the year. The settle-
ment of the strike in Chicago again brings
that city into the market with last year's
loss of time to be made up. It is predict-
ed that Chicago will consume a larger
amount of lumber this year than at any
time in its history except the World's Fair
year.

The building of the St. Louis exposition
is now assured, and for the next twenty-
four months that city will absorb a very
large amount of yellow pine. This will
materially relieve our competition with the
southern manufacturers in the southwest
territory and will exercise a very strength-
ening influence upon the whole yellow pine
market.

White pine has held, and during the com-
ing year will continue to hold, its place at
the head of the principal timber products
of the country as the strongest factor in
the market and toavery large extent in-
fluencing the price of all other forest pro-
ducts.

The day will never come when northern
pine will sell at the prices which it did
three years ago. Thepresent price repre-
sents the actual value of the product. The
days of cheap lumber are past. The rapid
and sure consumption of our standing tim-
ber assures us of this, not totake into con-
sideration the increased cost of manufac-
ture in the past two years. The margin of
profit between the price list and the cost of
production is not sufficient to permit the
reduction to the selling price of former

years. We must not be deceived by the
comparatively high average selling prices
of the past two years. They by no means
represent a proportionate gain in profits,
for the increase in the cost of everything
entering into the business of manufacturing
lumber has increased in greater ratio than
has the selling price of lumber. While it
is not likely that there will be any material
advances unless unforeseen conditions de-
velop, there is no likelihood of any reduc-
tion of the general range of prices.

The annual inventories of the manufac-
turers of the Mississippi and Wisconsin val-
leys, covering stocks on hand January 1,
1901, which have been compiled under the
auspices of the bureau of grades, show
more lumber in pile than there was on
January 1, 1900. Great care has been ex-
ercised to get these statistics correctly,
and we believe them to show very nearly
the actual amount of lumber on hand.
They include the inventories of eighty-two
firms in the two territories mentioned,
besides careful estimates of lumber, lath
and shingles of thirty-one firms. They
show a total of 1,772,003,626 feet, as com-
pared with 1,661,084,827 feet a year ago.

Last year there was a shortage over the
stocks of January, 1899, of 376,479,409
feet, and the shortage of 1899 over 1898
amounts to 105,719,507. Hence the total
shortage this year over stocks of January
1, 1898, is 371,280,117. It is therefore
hardly to be expected that a very great
shortage could develop this year.

The apparent shortage of stocks does
not exist in actual lumberin pile so much
as it doesin lumber dry enough to ship.
Many mills produced heavily late last seas-
on, being closed down the fore part of the
year on account of the scarcity of logs, and
the weather conditions’ of the late fall and
early winter were not such as to dry lum-
ber very rapidly. Nearly every firm re-
ports a shortage of certain items of lumber
in shipping condition.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

The severe weather has not been con-
ducive to a heavy demand for lumber,
and such buying of small lots as has tak-
en place has been chiefly for filling up
purposes. Retail dealers are apparently
keeping out of the market until they are
better able to estimate the volume of the
year’s building operations. The fact is
generally admitted, however, that both re.
tailers and consumers are carrying light
Stocks, and that sooner or later they
must add materially to their stocks,
From a wholesale standpoint the volume
of business is quite encouraging. Sales
are being made freely for shipment by
vessel upon the opening of navigation,
One transaction reported involves ten
million feet of lumber, but, while gener-
ally credited, the details have not been
learned. Logging _ conditions in
the pine districts are most favorable, and
the outlook is that nearly all operators
will succeed in getting out their contem-
plated cut. The hardwood situation is
but a repetition of past weeks. The con-
suming industries are operating to their
full extent, but are evidently deferring the
purchase of their lumber supply ‘in the
hope of getting some concession in price.

nether or not they will be succesful in
this depends entirely upon the hardwood
manufacturers, who up to the present
time have positively refused to yield.
Lath and shingles are strong. At Geor-
gian Bay points as high as $2.75 is being
asked for No. 1 latb and ¢2 for No. 2.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The outlook for spruce lumber seems
to be improving as the season advances.
Representatives of Quebec houses are
meeting with considerable success in
effecting sales in Great Britain, and there
now seems to be reason to believe that
about the usual quantity will be marketed
there. There is a greater number of en-
quiries for stock from the Eastern States,
especially for clapboards and shingles.
Cedar shingles, on Boston rate of
freight, are generally held at $2.85 to
$2.95 for extras, and $2.60 for clears, al-
though as might be expected, sales are
being made below these figures by deal-
ers who are anxious to realize immediate-
ly. Logging operations are proceeding
satisfactorily, although in some parts of
Nova Scotia deep snow is interfering with
successful work.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The demand for lumber in Manitoba
and the Terntories is showing more ac-

II.

tivity, due to the improved outlook for
building operations. In Winnipeg a
number of quite impcrtant buildings are
projected, and in smaller towns and vil-
lages the volume of building promises to
be greater than last year. British Cclum-
bia shingle manufacturers report that the
consumption of red cedar shingles in the
east 15 on the increase and that orders are
coming in freely for spring and summer
delivery. The demand from Manitoba is
quiet and will be inactive until good
crops are assured.

Current quotations for red cedar
shingles deliveredin Ontario areas follows:
No. 1, 6 butts to 2 inches, $2.75 per M;
No. 2, $2.25 ; No. 1, 6 butts to 2 3/16
inches, $2.90.

UNITED STATES.

The volume of trade in white pine lum-
ber has shown a decided improvement
during the past week. Heavy sales have
been made at Duluth, Ashland and other
points, the buyers being frou) Chicago
and eastern wholesale distributing points.
It is estimated that by the opening of
navigation there will be practically no dry
lumber at Duluth, while the recent sales
have included much of the coming sea-
son’s cut. The demand for building
materials for immediate consumption has
been confined largely to the coarser
grades. The supply of box lumber seems
to be comparatively heavy, but a scarcity
of cutting up stock is still reported from

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

Buffalo. The secretary of the Buffalo
Lumber Exchange has compiled statistics
which, in comparison with one year ago,
show a shortage of 14,000,000 feet in
white pine and 6,000,000 feet in Norway.
Shingles and lath are both firm and high
in price, with a tendency towards higher
values, especially for white pine lath.

There is an apparent improvement in
the hardwood trade, although prices are
not altogether uniform. Red birch is
scarce, and commands $30 to $32 on cars
at Buffalo. Quotation; on Albany rate of
freight are $40. Brown and white ash are
also firmer, the former selling at $26 to
$28 for No. 1 and 2, and the latter at $30
to $32 for inch firsts and seconds,

GREAT BRITAIN.

Business in the timber trade in Great
Britain is less active than at the corres-
ponding period one year ago. Negotia-
tions are under way, but shippers are
finding some difficulty in closing con-
tracts. This applies particularly to pine,
as importers apparently believe that, con-
sidering the stocks on hand, the prices
asked are too high. Nevertheless, ship-
pers seem to be a unit in holding out for
their present asking prices, even if sucha
course should restrict the volume of busi-
Spruce is selling now more liber-
ally at good prices. Sales of 3xg third
regulars have been made at £8 Ito shil-
lings per standard c.1.f. London, and

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Buying of lumber by dealers to re-
pienish broken stocks, and by consumers
for immediaie requirements, has repre-
sented a considerable volume of trade
during the past week. Business in white
pine lumber has progressed very satis-
factorily, and has strengthened the opin-
ion that the advent of spring weather will
bring about an active demand for lumber.
The quantity of dry stock unsold at the
mills is being gradually lessened, while
no small proportion of the coming sea-
son’s cut has been contracted for. While
all grades are moving moderately, there
seems to be a special call for to and 12
inch boards, particularly for export. Di-
mensions suitable for bridge work
are also enquired for quite freely.
Hardwoods, although ‘still quiet, are
showing signs of recovery, and it 1s
anticipated that consumers will shortly be!
compelled to enter the market. Nearly all)
thedry hardwood lumberisin strong hands;
otherwise it would not have been possible
to obtain the present market price.

- This does not apply to basswood, which

is y2ry scarce and growing stronger daily.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Although few changes have taken ace
the prices of square and waney timber at
Quebec are hardening. There has been an
advance in elm, which is now quoted at
45 to Socents per cubic foot for 45 to 50 feet,
average. Spruce lumber of good quality
is firm, with a moderate demand. On
Boston rate of freight clapboards have
been sold at $31 for extra, $29 for clear!
and $26 for second clear. New Bruns
wick cedar shingles are becoming scarce,
and a few special lots have been sold as
high as $3 for extras. Average quotations,
however, are about as follows : Extra,
$2.90 to $3.00; clear, $2.60 to $2.70;
second clear, $2.15 to $2.25 ; clear white,
$2 ; extra No. 1, $1.85.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The retail lumber dealers of Winnipeg
have just adopted a new price list, which
shows a considerable reduction in prices.
White and red pine and spruce have un-
dergone a number of changes. The most
important items are quoted in the new
list as follows ; No, 1 pine, dimension,

2x4 to 2x12, 12, 14 and 16 ft. long, $19.50
per thousand, reduction from old list
$2.50; cull plank, $14, reduction $2 ; No.
I pinr timber, 3x6 to 6x8, up to 16 ft., $21
reduction $2.50 ; third common red and
white pine boards, $19.50, reduction $1 ;
spruce boards, $18.50, reduction $2 ; No.
I cull pine or spruce boards, $17, reduction
$2.50 ; No. 1 box boards, 14 inches and
upwards, $26, reduction $2 ; second white
pine siding, flooring and ceiling, 4, 5 and
6 inch, $41, reduction $2 ; 8 and to inch
pine shiplap, $22, reduction $2; 6 inch
pine shiplap, $21, reduction $1.50 8; and
toinch spruce shiplap, $21, reduction $2;
8 and Io inch cull pine or spruce, $18, re-
duction $2 ; white pine finishing, $65, re-
duction $1; white pine shop finishing,
$40.50, reduction 50 cents ; clear red pine,
$42; reduction $4; 1 inch white pine
finishing, first and second clear, $64, re-
duction $2 ; inch quarter sawn oak, $95,
reduction $5. British Columbia lumber
remains unchanged.
UNITED STATES.

A marked degree of strength character-
izes the United States lumber market,
and particularly the white pine trade.
There are less than 40,000,000 feet of
lumber unsold at Duluth and Superior,
and much more than that amount of the
coming season’s cut has been contracted
for. The general conditions affecting
white pine are so favorable that a higher
range of prices is talked of. All grades
seem to be indemand. A report from
Tonawanda states that poorer grades be-
tween and including box and dressing are
disposed of more readily than the better
grades, while at Albany good lumber is
showing the most strength. Uppers have
been advanced about three dollars per
thousand, quotations now ranging from
$58 to $70, the latter figure for 4 inch.
Selects and fine common are about $2
higher, and 1x1o and 12 common $1
higher. Lath in the Albany market has
also advanced to $3 for both pine and
Spruce. Inthe Saginaw valley log run
lumber is held at $16 to $21 and box at
$15. Spruce is strong as the result of
light stocks. In New York No. 2 is
quoted at $20to $21.50 and better, and
merchantable at $19.50 to $21.

There isa slight improvement in the
hardwood market. Consumers are be-
ginning to replenish their stocks, although
there is still a disposition to buy as
moderately as possible. It is believed
that the present season will witness a
very large demand for maple and oak
flooring and interior finish,

Il.

GREAT BRITAIN.

Business with British importers is not
progressing as satisfactorily as might be
wished for. A fair volume of trade 1s re-
ported in spruce, but as far as can be
learned, there is much hesitancy on the
part of buyers to close contracts for pine.
The buying for early shipment has been
light, importers apparently being disin-
clined to pay the prices asked by
shippers. Some contracts, however, have
been closed at £12 Iss to 413 per
standard for third quality, and £10 Ios
for fourth quality c.i.f. London and Liver-
pool. At Glasgow the bulk of business
is in spruce, although some transactions
have taken place in third pine deals. The
small amount of buying for early ship-
ment is reflected in easier freight rates,
and it is a question if importers would not

find it to their advantage to close con-
tracts immediately for their timber supply
and thus place themselves in a position
to effect charters at current rates. The
experience of late years shows that sum-
mer and early fall freight rates are
usually higher than those of the spring
freights, and the present situacion in the
timber trade seems to favor such a con-
dition this year, as there will doubtless be
shown greater eagerness to buy as the
season advances.

sell by auction on March 2oth, at the
Crown Lands office, Fredericton, timber
berths on Little and Big Tracadie rivers,

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION

THE GLASGOW MARKET.

The Glasgow timber market is reviewed
as follows by Messrs. Edmiston & Mit-
chells in their monthly timber circular’ of
28th February:

As was the case last month, a fair
amount of business has been done during
February, not so much in large lines as in
numerous purchases of a retail nature,
which in the aggregate form quite a re-
spectable total. Prices continue to be
very firm, but buyers are still more or less
inclined to operate cautiously, fearing, ap-
parently, the possible contingency of a
break in values, of which, however, there
is ho evidence in the meantime. The
amount of business done in Quebec goods
for forward delivery has so far been ona
smaller scale than last year, and, with the
possible exception of spruce, buyers are
very slowly responding to the high prices
quoted by shippers.

The Clyde shipbuilding returns for the
monthof February show that 15 vessels, ag
grégating about60,ooo tons, werelaunched,
as compared with 23 vessels of 29,516
tons last February. While this is so far
gratifying, it is unfortunately the case that
very little new work is being placed on the
Clyde, which, we presume, is to be ac-
counted for by. the drop in the freight
market, apart from other predisposing
causes. The housebuilding trade is quite,
but it is satisfactory that the dispute be-
tween masters and joiners has now been
settled, and this should help to revive busi-
ness in this important industry.

WanEy BOARDWOOD. — First-class.—
Business during the month has been quiet,
and there havé been no transactions of any
importance. We hear that a line of small
wood, 13-inch average square, has been
sold at 2s. 1d. in ponds. Second-class.—
There has.been rather more enquiry for
this class, and a parcel or two have chang-
ed hands at 1s. 1od. to 2s. per cubic foot,
according to size.

RED PiINE.—Thete is still no movement
iu this class of timber to report. The
railway company’s enquiry mentioned last
month has not yet resulted in business.

Oaxk.—There have been one or two
small retail sales, and some enquiries for
long logs 50 feet and up, though no busi-
ness has yet resulted. Stocks being com-
paratively light, prices are firm.

Case ADDRESS
“ BARNET.”

‘3 was

FIR, CEDAR, SPRUCE

PACIFIC LUMBEp

LIMITED

BARNET, B.C.

Mills on Burrard Inlet and Canadian Pacifie Railroad

E_mM.—There have been a number of en-
quiries during the month, especially for
large-sized timber, and there have been
several transactions on the basis of 3s. 1d.
to 3s. 2d. per cubic foot for 45-feet aver-
age cube. Small timber, 30 to 35 feet
average cube, is difficult to move.

BirRCH.—Quebec.—A few sales have
been made during the month at prices
ranging from 1834d. to 19d. on a basis of
16-inch average. The stock on hand is
now considerably reduced, and with any-
thing like a fair demand, prices would be
inclined to harden. Thé prospects for
next season’s delivery are fair.

N. B. BirncH.—There have been no ar-
rivals and no sales to report. Nominal
value, ts. 6d. for 16-inch average. There
has been one import of planks during Feb-
ruary, consisting of about 150 standards
St. John, which were sold at £9 per stand-
ard, c.i.f. Glasgow.

AsH.—A few small sales have been
made during the month at from 2s. 1d. to
2s. 2d. for 13% to 14 inch average. The
stock on hand is trifling, and mostly of
small size. :

DEALs, ETC.—-There has been a good
volume of business during the month, and
the public stores are being rapidly emp-
tied. Prices are unaltered, with the ex-
ception of sidings, which are rather easier,

the stock of these being stil] heavy. The
current values are as under :
Broad first pine deals.—£26 15s. to

£29; 11-inch, £24 to £26; ends and non-
dimensions, £18 to £22, Second pine
deals.—11-inch and up, £20to £22; non-
dimensions, £14 to £16. Third pine
deals.—11-inch and up, £13 to £14; ends
and narrows, £8 10s. to £10 ros. Fourth
pine deals.—11-inch and up, £10 Ios. to
£11; narrows, £9 to £9 10s. Red pine
deals.—9 and 11 inch, £12 ros. to £13;
narrows, £9 10s. to £10 10. First pine
sidings and strips.— £16 to £22, accord-
ing to specification. Spruce deals.—g-inch
andup, £8 10s. to £9 15s.; narrows, £7
tos. to £8 5s. N. B. spruce.—7 to 8
inch, £7 5s. to £8; 9 to 11 inch, £8
10s. to £9.

to an extent thatis regarded by the trade
as satisfactory, particularly when consider-
ation is given to the unfavorable weather
conditions. There has been a steady
movement of stock from the mills by rail,
chiéfly for local purposes, although some
shipments have been made to the Eastern
States. It seems, however, that there is
still an impression on the part of consum-
ers that prices are too high, and that by
waiting they are likely to be able to effzct
purchases at lower figures. This opinion
presents a striking contrast to that held by
the lumber trade generally. The position
of white pine particularly is in favor of a
continuance of present prices, with a pos-
sible advance in certain sizes which are
none too pientiful. Two inch common
lumber is now quoted by some dealers
from fifty cents to one dollar higher than
a fortnight ago. Ten and twelve inch
widths are also scarce and very firm.
Hardwoods are moving only in small lots.
Birch, elm and maple are very dull of sale,
with a better demand for basswood and
oak. These woods are scarce and almost
certain to sell at higher prices before mid-
summer. There isa scarcity of dry hem-
lock, for which $9 is asked at the mill.
Lath is strong, with indications of higher
values. At the mill $2.75 is being asked
for No. 1 pine, and $2.25 for No. 1 hem-
lock and spruce, and $1.50 for No. 2.
Shingles are quiet but steady, $2.20 for
XXX at mill being the average quotation.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

No important change in the spruce
market has taken place since last issue.
As might be expected at this season of the
year, the volume of orders is increasing,
which is reflected in firmer prices. / Clap-
boards are quoted at $30 to $31 for extra
spruce and $28 to $29 for clear, on Bos-
ton rate of freight. New Brunswick cedar
shingles are selling on the basis of $2.90
to $3.00 for extras. Laths are in good
request. Logging operations are now
nearing an end, after a satisfactory seas-
on, The cut of logs on the St. Johnriver
has been about 95,000,000 feet, which is
about equal to last year’s production, but
onthe Miramichi the output has been
smaller, Lumbermen are somewhat ap-
prehensive regarding driving operations.
There is only about two feet of snow in
the woods of the upper St. John and the
Miraonchi rivers, as compared with an
average of five feet in other years. Unless
there are unusual heavy rains_this spring,
it is feared that many logs will be hung
up.

UNITED STATES.
From a wholesale point of view the lum-

8 No

ber market of the United States is show-
ing more strength. Some large purchases
at upper lake points have been made,
and it is estimated that about one-third
of the cut of the Duluth-Superior mil s has
been sold, while there. is not more than
25,000,000 feet of dry lumber remainuig
on the docks at the head of the lakes
that is stillunsold. No. 3 boards are held
at $12.75 and No. 2 and better log run at
about $17. The Buffalo and Tonawanda
markets appear to be somewhat unsettled,
cutting of prices having been resorted
to by one or two dealers. Without ex-
ception, however, all agree that the out-
look for the season’s trade 1s quite promis-
ing, and that with more favorable weather
orders will be placed quite liberally. It is
generally admiited that there will be a
large volume of building during the year.
Statistics of building operations for Feb-
ruary In twenty-one of the principal cities
show an expenditure of $20,000,000, as
compared with less than $10,000,000 for
the corresponding month one year ago.
The outlook has already caused an ad-
vance in the price of spruce randoms.
In Boston toand 12-inch dimensions are
selling at $18 to $19, 9 inch and _ under at
$17, 10 and 12 inch random lengths at
ee and 2x 3to2x7, Io feet and up, at

15.

There has been a slight revival in the
consumptive demand for hardwoods, but
the volume of trade is still small. Bass-
wood and oak lead, with ash, elm, maple,
and birch following in the order named.
Figures presented at the meeting of the
Wisconsin Hardwood Lumber Associa-
tion held on the 12th inst. showed that the
stock of hardwood !umber at the mills in
Wisconsin was about 130,000,000 feet, as
against 125,000,000 feet one year ago.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The news from the United Kingdom
are not of an encouraging: nature. The
high price of lumber and cther materials
is retarding building operations, and un-
til the consumption improves the lumber
market is not likely to show a materially
stronger tone. Importers seem to be
afraid to venture upon forward buying un-
til the stocks on hand have become furth-
er reduced. On March st of this year
the stock of deals, boards, battens, etc.,
inthe Surrey Commercial Docks, Lon-
don, were 37,000 standards, or about
70,000,000 feet, greater than at the cor-
responding period one year ago. In
Liverpool there is an excessive stock of
pitch pine, and a supply of birch timber
much Jarger than the requirements de-
mand. The stock 1s 114,000 cubic feet,
as compared with 52,000 feet last year
and 43,000 feet in 1899. Birch planks are
also plentiful, 178,000 feet, as against 13,-
ooo feet one year ago. Elm and ash
timber have improved slightly during the
past month. Ash is quoted at Is. 8d to
33. 3d. per cubic foot, and elm at 2s. od.
to 3s. 3d.

Sales of spruce deals for summer ship-
ment are being made on the basis of £8
I5s. per standard c.if. for 3x9 second
quality. A quantity of Oregon pine plank
was recently sold by auction at £9, but it

II.

wasa Consignment cargoof inferior quality.
Quebec pine at the same sale made fair
prices, and spruce showed a little more
strength. There appears to be a large
demaad*in London for manufactured
stuff, such as doors and mouldings.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

In Michigan $10 is being paid for elm
logs and $10.50 for basswood.

Mr. Brown, of Barrie, has over 18,000
cubic feet of square timber lying at the
Bradford Station for shipment to Liverpool,
via Quebec.

Log run pine is a little stronger in the
Saginaw Valley, being quoted at $17 to
$21. Box lumber is held at $15 and mill
culls at $12 to $13.

J. P. Newman, of Wiarton, has purchased
from the Hepworth Hunting Club the
timber on 1,600 acres of hunting reserve
at Murray Harbor, Lake Huron.

At Saginaw River points hemlock boards
are held at $10, piece stuff at $9 and mill
culls at $7 and $8. In New York City
No. 1 hemlock boards are quoted at $17.

The contract for supplying the city of
Toronto with cedar and norway pine
scantling has been let to Reid & Company,
of the Esplanade, at $14.97 per thousand.

The Rathbun Company have secured the
contract for supplying lumber for the Board
of Works, Kingston, the price being $17.70
for boards and 25€ cents for cedar scant-
lings.

J. A. Gregory, of St. John, N. B., has

secured a contract to supply 30,000 pieces
of birch props, for shipment to Bristol,
England, to be used in making brush
backs.

It is reported that the Quebec Govern-
ment has decided to offer for sale on June
4 next 7,000 square miles of timber limits
in the Upper Ottawa, St. Maurice, Rim-
ouski, Lake St. John, and other districts.

Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Company
report the arrival at Barbadoes of the
“Herbert Rice,” with 16,000 feet white
pine and 10,000 feet spruce, which were
sold at $22 and $19.50 respectively. The
market for white pine shippers is in good
position, and second quality would also
bring fair rates. A small lot of spruce
laying shingles has been sold at $2.05, and
hemlock shingles at $1 50.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION

MARCH 20, Igor

CONCERNING MAPLE LUMBER.

The largest body of maple to be found
in the United States is in the northern part
of the lower peninsula of Michigan. This
district contains the largest amount of
standing timber of good quality, and con-
sequently is the chief source of supply for
dealers in and consumers of maple. Cana-
dian lumbermen will therefore be interested
in some figures regarding maple presented
at a recent meeting of the Michigan Hard-
wood Lumber Association, which repre-
sents about 70 per cent. of the mills manu-
facturing Michigan maple for the
Market,

The president expressed the belief that
log run maple ought to be worth $16 at the
mill. The secretary reported the fol-
lowing sales of lumber since the previous
meeting : 3,650,000 feet of maple at
$7,12 and $17 ; 50,000 feet of long run
maple at $13; 100,000 feet of maple, 1%
and 2 inch, at $14.50 delivered at Milwau-
kee ; 100,000 feet of hemlock at $8.50 for
short and $9 for the 18 and 20-foot, f.o.b,
mills ; 100,000 feet long run black ash at
$18 at the mill ; 3,500,000 feet of hemlock
at $8.50 and $9. 50 f.o.b. mill; 1,500,000
feet of hemlock at $8 and $9 fae b. mill ;
inch mill calls at $5.50, and 2 inch mill
culls at $5. A sale was re ported of ship-
ping cull and common maple at $6 and
$11, respectively, the buyer not wishing
firsts and seconds. One of the members
stated that he could have sold all of his
cut of 1901 of common and firsts and sec-
onds at $12 and $17 respectively. An-
other member stated that he had refused
an offer tosell his entire cut of shipping
culls, common and firsts and seconds at
$7, $13 and $17.

Inquiry was made as to how much of
this season’s cut had been sold. Several
members announced that they had sold
over half of their cut. A canvass of con-
ditions revealed the fact that something

like 50 per cent. of the 1901 cut of maple
had been already sold.

As tothe quantity of maple that would
be reduced this year, it was concluded
that there would be a reduction of about
40 per cent. as compared with last year.
The output of the association last year
was 70,000,000 feet, and the total of the
district about 100,000,000 feet. With a
reduction of 4o per cent. the total northern
Michigan cut this year would be 60,000,-
ooo feet. Of last year’s cut 20,000,000
feet is still on hand, which with 30,000,-
000 feet of the coming season’s cut still un-
sold, leaves 50,000,000 feet of Michigan
maple yet available for purchase. It de-
veloped that at Traverse City maple manu-
facturers were paying about $7 per thous-
and for logs delivered at their mills by
farmers, but a member from Boyne City
stated that he was paying $8. The feel-
ing of the meeting seemed to be that there
would be an advance in the price of maple
this spring.

TIMBER BERTH SOLD.

Only one berth was sold as a result of
the offer by the Ontario Department of
Crown Lands of several limits in Victoria
and Haliburton countie, on the Ottawa
River, which had been forfeited or aband-
oned. This was the abandoned berth on
the Ottawa River, The highest bidder was
the Hawkesbury Lumber Co., of Ottawa,
which got it for $30,195, or $1,220 per
mile. In the cases of the forfeited berths
in Digby, Lutterworth and Sherbourne
townships, no tender was high enough to
be accepted.

The Barbadoes market, according to
S. P. Musson, Son & Company, is fairly
well supplied with second quality white
pine, but there is no shipping quality in
dealers’ hands. First quality spruce has

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

Lumber manufacturers and dealers are
apparently satisfied with the volume of
business they are doing ; it is quite up to
the average for this season cf the year,with
indications of much more. activity in a
week or twoas aresult of the commence-
mentof spring building operations. The
quantity of lumber required for building
purposes is expected to be greater than
last year, and with an average consump-
tion by manufaciuring industries, a good
season’s trade at satisfactory prices is
looked for. In Ottawa the buiJdings com-
menced and under contempiation are
chiefly of the cheaper class, calling for the
lower grades of lumber. As a result of a
by-law passed in Ottawa some time ago
preventing the use of wooden shingles on
houses, the local demand for shingles 1s
extremely quie!, but a good enquiry is re-
ported from outside points. In the
Georgian Bay district sales of pine mill
culls are being made at $10.50 and $11 at
the mill. Michigan dealers a’e Icoking to
Georgian Bay points to supp y a consider-
able quantity of the stock required for the
coming season.

There is some irregularity in hardwood
prices, and the market is not as firm as
might be wished for. In Toronto some
dealers are asking $24 for first and sec-
ond black ash, 1 and 1% inch, which
others are quoting at $22. Mill run is
selling at $18, with $20 asked in excep-
tional cases. There is practicaily no
basswood offering in firsts and seconds,
but from $20 to $22 could be realized for
good stock. Miil run basswood is sell-
ing at $17.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Influenced by favorable reports from
the Eastern Stajes, the spruce lumber
market is showing more strength. Manu-
facturers are looking forward to an active
demand from the United States and
to aconsiderable consumption of lum-
ber for local purposes, paticularly of
the cheaper grades. While the price of
clapboards is nominally unchanged, the
supply is so small that if there should
arise even a moderate demand, it would
be reflected in higher prices. The supply
of New Brunswick cedar shingles is like-
wise small. Sellers are asking $3 tor ex-
tras, $2.65 for clears, and $2.20 for sec-

ond clears, Boston rate of freight, although
sales are being’made by small manufac-
turers about five cents less.

fj=9 UNITED STATES.

A most satisfactory volume of business
for the past week is reported from the
white pine producing points. In the Ash-
land and Duluth districts the buying by
wholesale dealers has been quite active,
and most of the stock is now held $1 to
$1.50 higher than last fall. Sales of No.
3 boards are being made at $12.75, and
some manufacturers are holding out for
$13 for the coming season’s cut of that
grade. This is about $1 in advance of
the price at which this grade was sold
fast summer, and shows the steady ap-
preciation in the value of pine lumber.
The feeling in the Lake Superior district
is that the spring will bring forth a sharp
demand for lumber, and that the year
will be one of general prosperity for the
lumber trade. Indications are that the
cut of logs for the mills of Duluth-Super-
tor will be not more than 390.000,000 feet,
as compared with 425,000,000 feet last
winter, Buyers in the east are apparently
convinced that there will be no break in
prices, and are therefore placing contracts
for their supply of lumber. In the Chica-
go market there is a scarcity of No. 1
and No. 2 12-inch boards, and piece
stuff is none too plentiful. . Both white
and Norway pine piece stuff is selling at
$14.50 to $15 for short lengths f.o.b. cars
Chicago. Tonawanda trade is more set-
tled, with less cutting of prices on the
coarser grades. Good Jumber seems to be
most wanted in the east, although some
demana has developed for box lumber.

There is no perceptible improvement
in the call for hardwoods. The better
grades are s«lllng more freely than cheap
lumber, but the large consumers are ap-
parently keeping out of the market as
long as possible. Maple is showing more
strength, while birch and elm are weak.
Basswood still leads both in point of de-
mand and scarcity of supply.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The British timber market continues to
be somewhat unsettled. Swedish ship-
pers are firm in their prices for deals, but
the White Sea exporters are said to be
offering to accept a reduction of ten shil-
lings per standard from late asking
prices. This has led importers to look
for a general decline in prices, and conse-
quently buying is ata standstill. So far
as Canadian deals are concerned, how-
ever, the market seems to be steady, al-

Tals

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

though the reports are rather contradic-
tory. From one source of information it
is learned that pine and spruce deals have
been sold heavily at high prices, while
another report states that contracting in
pine goods for the coming season has
been on an unusually restricted scale.
The most reliable advice is to the effect
that the qvantity of pine and spruce
placed with importers 1s slightly less than
last season. Concerning spruce deals at
Liverpool, a correspondent says: ‘‘The
stock in this market is heavy, and the
large shipments that have been coming
forward have upset the calculation of a
good many with regard to this class of
timber. - It would be an advantage to the
trade generally if the import could be re-
stricted, as sales are being made at low
prices, and a weakening effect is the re-
sult.”

STOCKS AND PRICES.

J. E. Moore & Company have completed
sawing operations at Bonny River, N.B.,
having cut 1,200,000 feet of lumber.

Gibson Bros., of Wroxeter, Ont., are
cutting a large quantity of maple rollers
and 1% inch square chair leg stock.

The W. & A. McArthur Company have
put in 30,000,000 feet of logs during the
past winter, and expect to operate their
mill at Little Current, Ont., day and night
this season.

Two tenders were received last week for
the supply of lumber for the Board of Works,
Hamilton. Brennan & Company tenderd
at 17.51 per thousand, and W. J. McAllister
at 17.15, the latter being accepted.

At Cleveland there is a scarcity of lath.
No. 1 white pine is selling at $4, No. 2
white pine at $3.50, and hemlock at $3.
The demand from country yards is fully
one-third greater than at the same time
last year.

The sale of the timber on Grand Island,
in Haliburton county, is reported. Seven
hundred acres are included in the deal, by
which the Standard Chemical Company,
of Fenelon Falls, get the maple, birch and
beech, the Rathbun Company the cedar,
pine, hemlock, and T. H. DeCew & Sons,
Fenelon Falls, the elm, ash and basswood.

Fears areexpressed forthe British barque
Elizabeth Nicholson, which sailed from
New Westminster on November 26th last
for Shanghai with 638,652 feet of lumber
valued at $6,678.

The Georgian Bay Lumber Company,
of Waubaushene, Ont., have closed a
successful season’s logging in the Blind
River district. They have taken out up-
wards of 100,000 pieces, which will yield
in the neighborhood of 11,000,000 feet.

The steamer Dundee last week com-
pleted loading 1,713,000 feet of lumber at
Chemainus, B.C., for a foreign port. The
German Barque Antuco is now loading
lumber at Hastings mill, Vancouver, and
the ship Anna is under charter to load at
same point.

The Calhoun Lumber Company expect
to cut during the coming”season about 5,-
000,000 feet of spruce at their mills at
Gaspe Basin, Que., about the same quan-
tity at Calhoun, N.B., and about 3,000,000
feet at Albert, N. B. Practically all the
stock will be for the British market.

A quantity of spruce deals, ex Grecian
from Halifax, N.S., was sold by auction at
Liverpool last week by Alfred Dobell &
Company. The deals were 9 feet and up,
and brought the following prices: 4.x 7,
4758 per standard; 4x5, £7; 3x12 and
up, 47 178 6d; 3x loand 11, £9; 3x9,
£7 78 6d; 3x 8, £7 28 6d 33. x7, 46 155;
24%x7, 467s 6d; 3 and 2% x6, £6 155;
deal ends at £6.

Acorrespondent at Fort Frances, Ont.,
writes that Seaman & Company are fin-
ishing up their cut in the woods near that
place. The cut of their different contract-
ors will be about as follows: Tierney &
Fraser, two camps, 5,000,000 feet logs,
25,000 ties, and a considerable quantity
of piling 45 to 80 feet long ; Bartley & Mosh-
er, two camps, 300,000 feet logs, bal-
ance tamarac piling, 20 to 80 feet long ;
G. Franson, one camp, 200,000 feet logs
and considerable piling. Seaman & Co.
have moved one of their mills from Lake
Shebandowan to Little Turtle Lake, and
are taking 250,000 feet of lumber of last
season’s cut from their mill at Gash Point
to stock their new lumber yard at Fort
Frances, to supply the local trade. At
Gash Point they have a stock of about 1,-
750,000 feet of lumber and timber.

The Shuswap Milling Company's saw mill
at Kamloops, B. C., was destroyed by fire
recently, at a loss of $30,000.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.

ONTARIO.

= With April at hand, the. lumber trade
may be expecced to show signs of the ac-
tivity resulting from the beginning of out-
door operations. This has been the case
during the past week in a slight degree
only, as in the northern sections of the
province winter is still hanging on. The
advent of warm spring weather will stimu-
late building. Architects have plans
under way for numerous buildings to be
erected in the cities, while in rural
districts the usual volume of building
is contemplated. The stock of lumber
held by retail dealers is not large, and as
their resources are drawn upon, they will
be compelled to replenish their supply.
Locally, the outlook is satisfactory, and
judging from inquiries now coming in
from the Eastern States, considerable
stock will find an outlet there. The firm-
ness which has characterized shingles
and lath has been maintained, with pros-
pects of higher prices before the new
stock is available. Hardwoods are still
dull. Ottawa dealers are paying $14 for
mill run maple and birch, and $14.50 for
basswood f.o.b. cars. Hemlock is worth
from $8.50 to $10, the latter for 2 inch
merchantable.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The timber market at Quebec is quiet
and prices unchanged. The local demand
for timber at Montreal is being stimulated
by the harbor improvements, while if the
proposed elevators are proceeced with a
considerable quantity of timber will be
required. Quebec spruce is held at firm
prices, but there is a weaker tone in re-
spect to the Maritime Province produc-
tion. Mr. R. A. Estey, of Fredericton,
recently sold 3,000,000 feet of deals at
$10.75 per thousand, while one year ago
$11 was obtained for specifications of
poorer quality. The situation is regarded
as very uncertain. Operations in the
woods have practically closed, and interest
is now ceetred in the drives, which will
commence very shortly.

my
ot Se

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Building operations in Winnipeg and
throughout Manitoba and the Territories
have commenced on a more active scale,
and consequently dealers report an im-
provement in the demand for lumber.
Manufacturers and wholesale dealers are
receiving enquiries from retailers to an
extent that indicates that the stocks of the
latter are badly in need of being replen-
ished. The city of Winnipeg is inviting
tenders up to April 18th for the annual
supply of lumber. British Columbia
manufacturers are shipping quite largely
to eastern points, and report a satisfactory
volume of business.

UNITED STATES.

A feature of the United States lumber
market 1s the extraordinary demand in
some districts for doors and mill work. At
Chicago several advances in the price of
this class of stock have recently been
made, but without having any appreciable
influence in redncing the volume of trade.
At North Tonawanda and Buffalo the sash,
door and blind business is in a healthier
condition than it has been for some time,
andjdealers report that they have been
asked to figure on material for a large
number of buildings to be built this year.
The buying of lumber during the past
week has been of moderate volume.
Sales made by manufacturers have been
at high prices, and a slight stiffening in
the upper grades is reported. At Buffalo
and other wholesale points there is a good
demand for the better grades, but the
poorer qualities are somewhat inactive,
and prices are being cut in some instances
about one dollar per thousand. No. 1
barn boards in 12 inch widths are selling
in Saginaw at $23, and No. 2, 10 inches
wide, at $18, as against $24 and $19 one
month ago. Box lumber is also quoted a
little lower.

Hemlock lumber is particularly strong.
In New York the base price is $15, and in
Buffalo $13, but it is expected that high-
er prices will rule before many weeks. In
hardwoods the movement is not heavy.
Basswood, which has been very strong
for some time, is reported to bea little
weaker on account of an unexpected supply
of low grade stock offering, which has in-
duced box-makers to experiment with the
use of shipping and mill culls for their
purposes. Less hardwood is expected to
be shipped east from Michigan this year
than usual. Lath are not offered freely.
No. I white pine are held at $3 at Menom-
inee,and the prospects are for a strong
market on lath throughout the season. _

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The unsettled condition of the British
timber market has been further intensified
by the failure of a firm of merchants in
London, by which a large number of
brokers and agents were affected. It is
now extremely difficult to effect sales, and
the prediction is heard that the market is
on the verge of aserious break. This is
not the general opinion, however. That
more business has not taken place is due
to the firm position taken by shippers,
who refuse to concede anything in the way
of lower prices. Canadian goods have,
under the circumstances, continued re-
uarkably strong, and sales in pine and
spruce are being made at high prices.
The predicted fall in spruce, as a result of
the large stock at some of the leading
ports, has not taken place. Quebec
spruce has maintained its value at about
the opening prices of last year. There is
no apprehension entertained by holders of
these dea's, except perhaps as regards 2
inch and 2% inch stocks, which are
moving rather slowly. The freight mar-
ket is easier, with much less demand for

THR OTTAWA VALLEY.

[Correspondence of the CanapA LuMBERMAN.]

The mill owners and jobbers in and
about Ottawa are making preparations for
a busy season, Navigation will be open
on the Ottawa within three weeks, and on
the Rideau canal by May 1st. Shipping
will commence early on these waters, the
English market especially requiring atten-
tion.

The past winter was a quiet one in
local lumber circles. There has been
little or no change in prices, which are
firm and promise to continue so. Much of
the stock to be cut in the mills in the
Ottawa Valley and along the river during
the coming season, has already been placed,
part of iton the English market. In only
one line is an over-production likely, viz.,
in spruce, During the long season on the
limits, a greater amount of spruce than
usual was cut. If this is all taken out a
slump in prices would not be unlooked for.
White and red pine, on the contrary,
promise an advance in price, if change
there must be. The foreign and local de-
mand, small during the winter season, must
necessarily strengthen as soon as building
operations become general. Compared
with the same period a year before, the
past winter's business in hardwoods was
small. The railway men and dealers, in
fact all report a falling off in general ship-
ments, but an improvement is imminent.

As mentioned before, there has scarcely
been any change in manufactured lines.
No. 1 lath are scarce, quoted at $2.50 to
$3.00 per M, with No. 2 at $1.50 to $2.00.
Pine mill culls are quoted at $11.50 to
$12.50, with box culls at $12.50 to $14.50.
Other lines of pine are unchanged.

The Hull Lumber Company will operate
both the Ritchie mill at Aylmer and the
Mason mill in Hintonburg during the com-
ing summer. The former mill has been
enlarged and refitted. New machinery
has also been placed in the Mason mill.
These improvements will provide fer a
larger output.

Last summer it was reported that a large
saw mill would be erected at Deschenes,
replacing the Conroy mill destroyed by
firein 1899. Mr. J. B. Fraser, it was stated,
had the affair in hand. It is just possible
that the mill may not be, erected,owing to

a reported difficulty over the lease of the
necessary water power.

Although the winter’soperations on many
of the limits were brisk, on others the cut
was smaller than usual. The St. Anthony
Lumber Company only cut about 75 per
cent. of its usual supply onthe limits at
Whitney. No logs were cut by the Allan
Gilmour Company at Canoe Lake. All
the Ottawa firms carried on extensive
operations, however. Gangs of men are
being sent up to work on the drives, which
will start early.

J. R. Booth had a constant supply of
logs for his mill- all winter. These were
brought by rail over the Parry Sound
branch of the Canada Atlantic Railway
from a spur line running to the limits.. The
mill was operated all winter. Part of the
supply of logs was unloaded on the river
ice ready for the saw.

Ex-Mayor Bingham has returned from
the Gatineau district, where he was en-
gaged superintending preparations for the
Gatineau drive. He states it will be a
large one this year. All the tributaries
will carry large quantities of logs to the
main drive.

The Huli Pulp Company, in which Hiram
Robinson, H. K. Egan, W. C. Edwards
and other lumbermen are interested, has
commenced operations for the building of
a large mill on the site of the Hull Lumber
Company’s mill. The ruins of the old mill
are being cleared away and a cofferdam
is being built. When the latter is com-
pleted the foundation work of the new mill
will be started.

The will of the late Mrs. J. M. Currier,
widow of the well known lumberman of
that name, was recently entered for pro-
bate. The estate is valued at $108,000
and is divided amongst members of the
family.

Work is well advanced on the third of
the E.B. Eddy Co.’s paper mills. A large
store room is also being erected near the
mill. Work will shortly be commenced
on the tub and pail and fibre ware factories.
New offices are also to be erected on the
site of the temporary ones east of Bridge
Street.

McLaren & McLaurin, the mill owners
of Templeton, are erecting five piers in the
Ottawa River in a line from the north side
of Kettle Island to the shore at the mill.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Open weather has helped the lumber
market during the past week, and from
present appearances there will be an ac-
tive spring demand for lumber for build-
ing and industrial purposes. White pine
prices are being held very firm, with no
probability of sny weakening. Neither is
it likely that a material advance in prices
will be made, as such action might have
the effect of curtailing the demand, and
as the production during the coming
s€ason promises to be quite up to the
average in quantity, it is thought a large
consumption should be _ encouraged.
Crop prospects at the present time are
promising, and the agricultural commun-
ity are likely to require considerable lum-
ber for buildings and improvements. This
prospective demand is evidently being an-
ticipated by-retail dealers, who are showing
a disposition to replenish their stocks. Re-
ports from the Ottawa valley: tell of in-
creased life in the lumber trade, with
the prospect of an active season. The
mills will shortly resume operations, al-
though dry stock of the new cut will not
be available tor ascouple of months. Lath
and shingles have shown increased
strength of late; offerings are quickly
taken at current quotations, which would
seem to indicate the probability of higher
prices.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

There is still much uncertainty r2gard-
ing the future of spruce deal prices. The
shippers have not sold as much stock as
in former seasons, and consequently have
not contracted with manufacturers to the
same extent. It is said that asa result
some operators in New Brunswick will
not drivetheir logs this spring, but will
leave them on the landings. While the
British market is unsettled, the usual
quantity of lumber is likely to be market-
ei in South America, a number of ves-
sels having been chartered for that trade,
while’a vessel has been engaged to take
a lumber cargo from St. John to South
Africa. Freight rates are easier, charters
having been effected as low as 42 shillings
from St. John to the United Kingdom.
New Brunswick cedar shingles are
steady, although not active, quotations
being about $3 for extras, on Boston rate
of freight.

A strike of surveyors at St. John has
somewhat unsettled trade at that port.
The surveyors asked for an increase from
5to 7 cents a thousand on spruce, and
from 8 to Io cents on birch. Some ot the

shippers? have acceded to the demands,
while others have engaged non-union sur-
veyors.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,

Within the last fortnight there has been
a marked improvement throughout Mani-
toba and the Territories in the deman1]
for lumber. The spring has opened out
better than was anticipated, and building
Operations are in active progress. In
Winnipeg a strike of carpenters is threat-
ened, which vould, of course, seriously
affect the lumber trade, but if disturbances
of this character are avoided, the season
is likely to be one of considerable activity.
Sash and doors are moving freely. In
British Columbia the volume of lumber
moving is satisfactory. A number of ves-
sels are loading at the various ports for
foreign destinations.

UNITED STATES.

The lumber trade is feeling the benefit
of the active commencement of building
Operations, and during the past week
there has been an exceptionally good de-
mand for lumber for that purpose. Timber
for railroad construction has also been
purchased quite liberally. At Duluth and
Minneapolis white pine prices are show-
ing continued firmness ; dry stocks are
badly broken, and before the new cut 1s
available will be almost completely ex-
hausted. The only weakness pertains to
the Jower grades, and yet within the past
fortnight an advance of one dollar per
thousand has been made at Albany in the
price of I x fo and 12 barn stock. At
Saginaw nearly all the dry stock has
passed out of first hands. Spruce shows a
degree of firmness quite equal to that of pine,
The narrrew widths are not as strong as
the larger sizes, but unless there is an
unusually large quantity placed upon the
market present prices are likely to hold.
Improvement in the hardwood trade
is reported from the west, but the activity
is not so pronounced in the east. No
changes in prices have taken place, nor
are any looked for in the immediate future.
There is a gcod demand at Buffalo for
birch, one dealer quoting $45 for red and
$26 for white. There is an excellent de-
mand in New York and some other
eastern cities for hemlock, at the base price
of $15. In Chicago dry hemlock is being
offered at from $10.50 to $11.

The demand for shingles and lath is
keeping in advance of the supply. Ex-
tra white pine shingles are held at $2.40,
and white cedar shingles at $2.30, Chica-
go delivery. The best grades have with-
in the past week been marked up 25

thére-has been a recovery. in lath prices,
which were weat during February and
March as a result of large receipts. “Few
shipments are now being received, and a
price from $3.50 to $4.00 is predicted.

GREAT BRITAIN,

It is difficult, from the varying reports
which come to hand, toarrive at an under-
standing regarding the actual condition
of the British timber market. One cor-
respondent st.tes that there is no evidence
of a break in prices, while from other
sources it is learned that little forward
buying: is being done by importers, and
that the difficulty im closing contracts, ex-
cept for the most favored stocks, is causing
considerable anxiety to agents as to the
disposal of goods for later shipment. Deal
sizes seem to have maintained their posi-
tion fairly well, but the narrow widths are
difficult of sale. Scantlings have declined
to £7 10s, avsharp reduction from quota-
tions of afew months ago. Such buying
as has taken place has been largely ‘at
the public sales, the prices of which mer-
chants are unable to compete with. Ata
recent sale two lots of 3x 11 inch s cond
quality white pine sold at £20 5s and £20
Ios per standard. At Liverpool and Glas-
gow spruce deals are very quiet, and are
being sold at prices considerably under
those that have prevailed for some time
past. Sales of waney bLoardwood have
been made at satisfactory prices.

The financial aspect is occas‘oning
some uneasiness in Great Britain, and is
exerting a depressing influence for the
time being on thetimber trade. It is not
thought, however, that any serious money
stringency will be experienced.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

At Bangor, Me., $2.75 is being asked
for spruce lath in cargo lots.

THE BOSTON MARKET.

The request for spruce lumber is good
and continues to improve. The mills that
are sawing are few, and that makes a
strong market for those that are able to
saw. Here the demand is really good for
the season, and likely to improve. Frames
are yet quoted at $17, but quick deliveries
cost more. The advance on randoms is
still held: Ten and 12 inch dimensions,
$18 to $19 ; g-inch_ and under, $17 to $17.-
50; 10 and 12 inch random lengths, 10 feet
and up, $17.50 to $18; 2x3, 2x4, 2x5, 2x6,
2x7 and 3x4, ten feet and up, $15 to $16;
all other randoms, g-inch and under, 10 feet
and up, $15.50 to{$17; 5-inch and up,
merchantable boards, $15 to $16 ; matched
boards, $17 to $18; out spruce boards,
$12.50; bundle furring, $14.

A small amount of hemlock lumber is
still coming forward, with the demand bet-
ter: Pennsylvania, No. 1, $16 to $16.25 ;
No. 2, $14 to $14.50; eastern Pennsylvania
boards, $14.50 to $15 ; random, $13.

Western pine is firm, with a fair request :
Uppers, 1 inch, $58 to $62; 134 to 2 in.,
$63 to $64 ; 3 and:4 in., $68 to $72 ; selects,
I to 4 in., $52 to $64 ; fine common, 1 to 3

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLYiEDITION

THE GLASGOW MARKET.

Messrs. F. A. Lightbody & Company
send us the following review of the Glas-
gow timber market for March:

A fair amount of business was done dur-
ing the month, though buyers were not in-
clined to purchase large quantities al a
lime, preferring rather to buy for immedi-
ate requirements. Prices remain firm, but
buyers are still cautious, apparently fear-
ing the possibility of a break in values, of
which there is not the slightest evidence.

Up to date a much smaller amcunt of
business has been done in: gocds for for-
ward delivery than was the case last year,
owing to the high prices asked by the
shippers. The Clyde shipbuilders are still
busy, and the housebuilding trade shows
signs of greater activity.

Waney Boarpwoop.--For first-class wood
the prices are high, and prospects look
bright.

WHITE PINE DEALS, 3 AND 4 INCHES AND
up.—A good demand for all grades of deals
keeps up prices, and parcels arriving are
being sold from the ship’s side. The fol-
lowing are the prices:

ast quality, x12in and up... .$65.c0 to $71.00 per M.

this market.

Rep Pine Deats. (Norway pine.)—Prime
deals have met with a ready saleand prices
are high for really first-class lumber.

Spruce Dpats.—The demand is good
and arrivals just now meet with a ready
sale at good prices.

Qursec Brrcu Locs.—A few sales have
been made at 18d. to 19d. per cubic ft. for
16 in. average wood.

Do not neglect to read the advertisements
in each issue of the WEEKLY LUMBERMAN.
They contain much of interest.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

As the mills throughout the province
will shortly resume operaticns for the
season, and piling room will be required,
it might be expected that lumber prices
would show a tendency to weaken. Up
to the present there have been no indi-
cations of weakness either on the part of
manufacturers or dealers. It seems to be
the general opinion that all the lumber
now in stock, as well as that to be manu-
factured, will be required for local con-
sumption and export, and that there is no
necessity of lowering prices in order to
encourage the demand. The increased
cost of producing lumber is also a factor
in the situation. The outlook at the pres-
ent time is fora prosperous season. There
is exhibited in the trade a more marked
degree of confidence than has been the
case for some time. Building is opening
up very satisfactorily. In Toronto the
new palace hotel on King street, which is
to cost nearly $1,000,000, and the resi-
dence of Mr. A. E. Kemp, M.P., in Rose-
dale, to cost upwards of $50,000, are the
most important undertakings so far con-
templated this season. The lumber re-
quired for these buildings will be chiefly
for interior finish.

In hardwoods the demand is showing
a slight improvement, and considerable
shipments are being made to the Eastern
States. There is a fair stock of maple,
birch, and elm at the mills and in dealers,
hands, but in a few weeks of good trade
this would soon be worked off. As has
been previously stated, black ash and
basswood are scarce and meet with ready
sale. For mill run basswood $13 is being
asked at the mill. Hemlock is also
moving quite freely.

The Jath and shingle situation has not
changed. [t is still characterized by an
unusual degree of strength, with prospects
of higher prices in the near future. At
the mills No, 1 lath is quoted at from
$2.50 to $2.75,

UNITED STATES,

For the week ending April 6th the num-
ber of permits issued in Greater New
York was 470, representing an investment

of nearly seventeen million dollars. These
figures surpass anything in the history of
the city, and are looked upon as an indi-
cation that building operations this year
will be exceptionally heavy. The lumber
market has gained in strength during the
past week. A shortage in certain stocks
has developed at Buffalo and Tonawanda,
and at the mills in the Lake Superior
district and inthe Southern States dry
stocks are badly broken. There is a short-
age of practically everything in white
pine but Ivo. 4 boards and some sizes of
dimensions. Much of the pine to be cut
this season has already been contracted
for; and it is now almost certain that
there will be no decline in prices. Inthe
Saginaw valley there is a scarcity of good
lumber, and until navigation is open
such stock will bring almost any price
that is asked ; consequently quotations
vary very widely. For inch uppers as
high as $56 has been asked, but sales
have been made below this figure. Barn
boards also are strong, some dealers
quoting as high as $27 for 12 inch No. 1.
The movement in hardwoods has not in-
creased materially, although prices area
little stiffer. It is said that all the bass-
wood and elm lumber to be manufactured
this year on Menominee river has al-
ready been contracted for. Birch and ma-
ple, on the other hand, are inclined to-be
waak, the former being somewhat of a drug
upon the market. Spruce is selling well,
but without resulting im advanced prices.
Spruce clapboards are not showing the
same degree of strength as other lumber,
prices being about what they were two
years ago. Shingles of all kinds are
strong. White pine, 18 inch, are selling
at Saginaw at $3.75. The cut of last
year has been exhausted for some time.
For 16 inch pine, XXXX, $3 is asked,
and for best quality cedar, 18 inch, $3.25,
and for clear butts $2.25.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Several representatives of Quebec
shippers have reached home, after having
closed as many contracts as possible with
British importers for the coming season’s
shipments. Itis understood that about
the average quantity of timber has been
placed, but the quantity of deals shows a
decrease from last year. Third and
fourth quality pine have been taken more
freely than the better qualities, the reason
for this, according to the Timber Trades
Journal, being that the system of grading
recently adopted in the Ottawa Valley is
not approved of by British importers.
This opinion, however, is not accepted by

the trade on this side. Fourth quality
pine is said to have been placed at $20
per thousand f.o.b. vessel. © Waney pine
has been disposed of at about 50 cents
per cubic foot {27 19 inch. Sales of Que-
bec oak have also been made at
high prices. New Brunswick spruce is
inclined towards weakness. It is the
general opinion that unless manufacturers
hold their stock, prices are likely to de-
cline. The cut of spruce on the St. John
River is about as heavy as last year, and
on the north shore the output is less.
Clapboards, laths, and shingles are sell-
ing In moderate quantities to the Eastern
States. For best cedar shingles $3 is
asked, but sales are still being made by
small dealers at $2.90.
GREAT BRITAIN.

At this season of the year, when new
goods are about to arrive, considerable
interest attaches to the stocks of lumber
on the public docks at the leading ports.
Taken as a whole, the figures are not very
encouraging, as at London, for instance,
the stock is over 19,000,000 pieces, com-
pared with 14,000,000 pieces one year ago.
Canadian timber, however, makes a more
satisfactory showing, although in most
Cases the stocks are in excess or last year,
At London the stock of pine deals and bat-
tens is 892,000 pieces, against 904,000
pieces one year ago. Of spruce deals the
quantity is 1,100,000 pieces, exactly
double that of last year. At Liverpool
Quebec pine deals are about 2,000
standards heavier than last year, bu
Spruce deals are slightly less. This
does not apply to the Maritime spruce,
which is 16,700 standards, or twice
that of last year. Glasgow. has a
stock of 12,668 standards of pine and
spruce, compared with 15,193 standards
on April Ist, 1900. The decrease is in
pine deals. London has a larger stock
of oak, birch, elm, ash and pine timber ;
while at Liverpool elm, birch, and red
and square pine are in heavier stock.
waney pine, oak, and ash being slightly
less. In view of the condition of stocks,
it has been found very difficult to effect
sales fromthe coming season’s imports.
The price of Canadian lumber is being
kept up by the strong position taken by

shippers, who are holding their stocks
rather than sacrifice them. First quality
Quebec spruce is selling at an advance of
last year’s prices, but for second quality
there is little demand. In timber, birch
and ash have declined slightly in price.

Simms Bros., of Little Current, Ont.,
took out a considerable quantity of white
and red pine during the past season from
the R. C. Lippincott limit which they pur-
chased last fall. They have arranged to
have the white pine sawa by J. & T. Conlon
and the red pine by A. A. Ryley.

Canadian lumber manufacturers who
are in a position to cut stock for the Brit-
ish market are asked to communicate with
the importers and brokers whose an-
nouncements appear in the weekly edi-
tion ot the CANADA LUMBERMAN. Many
importers and brokers are desirous of im-
porting direct from the manufacturers.

Concerning the demand for Canadian
timber, Messrs. Denny, Mott & Dickson,
of London, England, say: The demand
for the first three months of the year has
been quiet, but prices of waney pine, oak
and elm have all markedly advanced, owing
to the small stocks in Canada having en-
abled shippers to command their own terms
for the inadequate quantity which can be
spared for this year’s shipment to Europe.
Merchants here have no alternative but to
submit, or step aside from trading in Can-
adian woods. It is, however, fairly certain
that if Canada and America require these
osha home consimption, Europe will
lave to pe contented with cheaper substi-
tutes.

The importation of oak planks into
Liverpool, Eng., during March was 203,-
ooo feet, and the consumption 191,000
feet, leaving a stock of 150,000 ft.,
compared with 91,000 ft. on March 31st
of former cwo years. Elm is held ona
very much larger scale than usual, and
there has been only a moderate call for
it. The consumption of birch logs exceed-
ed the importation by 5,000 ft., but the
stock is too large, viz., 109,000 ft., seeing
that 58,000 ft. and 75,000 ft. were the last
two years’ holdings in that market. The
stock of birch planks is 167,000 feet.

FIRES.

The large saw mill of the Conger Lum-
ber Company at Parry Sound, Ont., was
destroyed by fire on April roth. The
brick boiler house and some of the'tram-
ways were saved. The loss is $50,000,
partially covered by insurance.

WHITE PINE PRICES.

While there has been on the whole a
steady market in cargo lots of white pine
at great lake manufacturing points, the last
two or three weeks, says the American
Lumberman, have been the first to demon-
strate a positive and marked advance in
the price of lumber. Now it is stated
that in the Ashland and Duluth districts
actual selling prices are from $1 to $1.50
higher than last fall, thereby justifying the
owners of these stocks in the policy they
adopted of holding their lumber rather than
sacrifice anything in price. This $1 or
$1.50 amply repays them for their invest-
ment and risk and carrying charges.

This actual advance in values comes asa
result of a long period of steady though
rather quiet buying which has pretty nearly
cleaned out tiie avatlabic’ J)" Sa Lake
Superior and at other points, and has made
great inroads on the product of the coming
sawing season. Buyers have awakened
to the fact that dry lumber is practically
out of the market and that the field for
buying operations hereafter has been de-
cidedly narrowed by the heavy purchases
and contracts that have been made. With-
in the last two or three weeks a number of
complete cuts have been contracted for,
the most part by people who want the
lumber and will not put it on the market in
round lots, except possibly as to certain
portions which they may not need. In this
advance the lower grades have been the
chief gainers and even mill culls have

* steadily gained “in value. ~

The interior mills of Wisconsin and Min-
nesota are showing the effect of the good
winter's trade. This is particularly true of
Wisconsin, where it is said piece stuff is
getting decidedly scarce, so much so that
isolated manufacturers find it almost im-
possible to fill some of the orders they get,
while those at recognized milling points
are able to do so only by piecing out with
their neighbors. But even so it is going
to be difficult to buy assorted carloads of
piece stuff.

Under these conditions it seems likely
that the anticipations of the manufacturers
ofa further increase in price before the
new cut shall be ready for the market will

be realized, yet a conservative policy wil
be pursued, and in white pine as in yellow
pine probably the official lists will not more
than keep pace with the natural movement,
and there will be no radical advances to
frighten buyers and check consumption. _

Better grades of hardwoods, says the
American Lumberman, are selling more
freely at North Tonawanda than the infer-
ior items, the latter of which are reported
somewhat short owing to unusually good
sales earlier in the season. Sales of quar-
tered oak, which had been small for a
month or more, are picking up again.
Prices are holding firm along the line witk
a rising tendency. 5

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION

CONDITIONS AT LIVERPOOL.

Messrs. Farnworth & Jardine, in their
wood circular of tst April, review the
Liverpool market as follows :

The arrivals trom British North America
during the past month have been 4,878
tons register, against 6,180 tons register
during the corresponding month last year,
and the aggregate tonnage to this date
from-all places during the years 1899, 1900
and 1901 has been 50,896, 55,847, and 49,-
997 tons respectively. The dullnessin our
market reported in recent circulars still
continues ; the arrivals have been in excess
of the requirements of the trade, and the
deliveries, generally, have been unsatisfac-
tory. There is not much change in values
to report, but great difficulty is exper-
ienced in maintaining prices.

CANADIAN Woops. — Waney pine.—A
fair number of contracts have been arrang-
ed for next season’s delivery, and prices
have been well maintained. Square pine
is little enquired for and the present stock
is quite sufficient. OAk.— The deliveries
have been on a very moderate scale ;
values are unchanged and the stock is
sufficient. Elm has been in dull demand;
prices, however, continue firm, but the
stock is heavy. AsH.—The import has
been on a large scale, entirely from the
United States ; the demand has been good,

during the past month have again been too
heavy, ard all by the liners, viz., 2410
standards. The demand is quiet and the
stock too heavy ; contracting for next sea-
son still continues very difficult.

BircH.—Logss have been imported much
too freely, and although the deliveries
have been fair, prices have given way very
considerably. The stock is too heavy.
Planks have come forward more moder-
ately than at this time last season. There
isa fair enquiry, but prices have again
siightly given way ; the stock is much too
heavy.

OREGON AND BRITISH COLUMBIAN PINE.
—Oregon pine has not been imported ;
there is rather more enquiry, and the stock
is now reduced to a moderate compass.

Following are current quotations : Que-
bec square pine, 1s 3d to 2s 9d per cubic
foot ; waney pine, 2s 2d to 2s rod; St. John
pine, 18 in. average, 1s 6d to 2s 2d; Dal-

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

In the outlook for building operations
throughout the province is found one of
the strongest indications that there will
be a heavy consumption of lumber this
year. Not for many years have Toronto
architects been as busy at this season of
the year in the preparation of plans for
buildings. While in the cities there is
likely to be an average volume of build-
ing, itis noteworthy that much of the
work now in the hands of architects is
for buildings in the towns and villages.
This, it might be said, is an advantage to
the lumber trade, inasmuch as most of
the buildings will be of the cheaper class,
and in their construction the common
grades of lumber mostly will be used. Al-
though stocks of white pine are by no
means heavy, the bulk of the supply is of
the lower ‘grades which will be bene-
fitted by this cheaper class of construc-
tion. One or two reports have been re-
ceived of a slight weakness in the lower
grades, but this condition does not seem
to be borne out by the statement of our
Ottawa Valley correspondent that $13 has
been offered within the past fortnight at
Ottawa for mill culls. In the Georgian
Bay district inch mill culls sidings range
from $11 to $11.50 at the mill, and tx 10
and 12 mill culls from $12 to $12.50. The
hardwood trade is featureless. Buying is
still limited, but mauufacturers are hold-
ing to their level of prices, which they be-
lieve tobe warranted by the cost of pro-
duction. Some dealers report fewer en-
quiries for basswood, the reason for which
may be that on account of the scarcity of
that lumber, consumers are us ng substi-
tutes as far as possible. Although there
1s a considerable supply of elm, some dif.
ficulty is reported in obtaining the grades
and sizes wanted.

UNITED STATES,

Returns from about twenty of the lead-
ing cities in the United States show the
volume of building permits issued for the
first three months of this year to be large-
ly in excess of the corresponding period
cf 1900, some of the cities showing a
gain of over 200 per cent. This seems to
promise well for building this season and
for a large consumption of lumber in that
way. The exceptionally good de-
mand for doors and mill work is also an
indication that much building is under
way. While the volume of lumber mov-
ing is not as large as might be wished for,
there is exhibited a degree of strength
which is likely to prevent any material

slump in prices, as might be looked for
upon the resumption of sawing operations.
The outlook continues as promising as
ever. There is ascarcity in the eastern mar-

“ kets of grades above common, which are
As the .

showing a tendency to advance.
Opening of lake trade is likely to be late,
eastern dealers fear that their stocks will
be badly broken before new supplies are
received. At Buffalo little is to be had
in selects and uppers. In the Saginaw
valley prices have stiffened materially on
account of the great scarcity of stock,
ahd corresponding changes have been
Made in our price list, but upon the open-
ing of navagation it is only reasonable to
€xpect that prices will not be as firm. At
Saginaw the best brand of white pine
shingles is selling at from $3.25 to $3.50 in
car lots, while at Buffalo $4.00 is quoted
by jobbers for best 18 inch pine, and
$2.25 for clear butts.

Dealers report an improved demand for
some kinds of hardwoods. Basswood is
showing some sluggishness, but as the
Supply is small, this has had no effect up-
on prices. Maple is moving more freely,
but is in large supply. There is a good
demand for birch and ash, and a scarcity
of the latter.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Navigation on the St. Lawrence is now
practically open, and the first vessels to
carry lumber will shortly commence load-
ing. There is not likely to be as much
activity in lumber shipping circles as last
year, fewer vessels having been chartered
for early loading. Shippers are still
making sales, but have not met with as
much success as usual, owing to the
heavier stocks carried in Great Britain.
Vessels are being chartered for full lum-
ber cargoes at 47s 6d to sos from Mon-
treal, while engagements for deals for
regular lners have been made at 45s to
47s 6d to United Kingdoin ports. For
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia lumber
the outlook is not regarded as very bright,
and prices of British deals are fully one
dollar lower than last year. Manufactur-
ers are holding for higher prices, while
buyers are demanding concessions.
Spruce boards and South American speci-
fications are in fairly good demand. Sales
of spruce boards for shipment to the
West Indies are being made at $11.50,
and South American stock at $12. A
good demand for shingles and lath is re-
ported.

Reports from the logging districts are
of a satisfactory character. There is
plenty of water in the rivers for driving

the logs, and considerable snow in the
woods in the northern sections, which is
likely to overcome any emergency caused
by dry weather.

GREAT BRITAIN.

There is now exhibited a more hopeful
feeling in respect to the British timber
trade. The opinion seems to prevail that
the bottom has at last been reached, and
that from this time forward buying will
be conducted with more liberality. If
the early imports should be considerably
below an average quantity, there is reason
to expect that values would quickly re-
cover most of the lost ground. The de-
cline in the price of Canadian timber has
been confined chiefly to stock on hand,
as the contracts that have been closed for
the 1901 cut have almost invariably been
purchased at high prices. The strength
of Canadian timber, in view of the sharp
declines in timber from other countries, is
somewhat remarkable. _Referring to the
situation at London the Timber Trades
Journal says: ‘‘The consumption of
spruce goods has been little short of mar-
vellous during March, and has reduced
the heavy winter stock to below the nor-
mal spring level. Of pine deals the stock
is a satisfactory one to those who hold the
best part of it. Had it not been for the
moderate quantity of stock prices
would have had to go down with the rest.
As it is, Colonial goods appear to be safe-
ly lifted out of the turmoil of the market,
and whitewood appears likely to get back
some ofits strength.” A good deal of
Quebec spruce has been sold for delivery
to Bristol, where it is being used largely
for box making.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)

In local lumber circles extensive prepar-
ations are being made for the opening of
the mill season. Everything points to a
large cut. There is a shortage ir several
lines, and té&e extensive building operations
promise to establish a strong local market
for other lines. Prices are firmer, and in
nearly every instance meet the higher
figures quoted during the past month.

Pine mill and box culls are scarce ; $13
was recently offered for small quantities of
the former. This shortage, of course, will
be supplied when the new cut is ready, but
prices on account of demand show no
prospect of weakening. The season in
short opens on a firm market, with an up-
ward tendency.

The stock from the hardwood mills,
which have been running since February,
will soon be on the market. The supply
of basswood is sold out. Hemlock, maple
and birch remain at. prices previously
quoted. With the near approach of the
opening of navigation mill owners and
shippers are making preparations for the
American and European trades.

Reports from the limits promise a satis-
factory movement on the early runs, Ald.
R. J. Davidson, of the firm of Davidson &
Thackeray, state that their drive on the
Quyon, comsisting of 35,000 logs, has been
brought down. This firm will move its
inill this summer from Coulonge village to
the junction of the Coulonge and Ottawa
rivers. Lumberis to be cut for a large
mill which wil] be erected next year.

Building operations in Hull are excep-
tionally active. Over 75 houses and busi-
ness blocks have been started already this
spring. Inall, over 400 structures have
been built in Hull since the fire a year ago.
Two large planing mills are in operation
there, D. Amour’s on Brewery street, and
Morin & Quellette, on Lake street. In
Ottawa building operations, according to
conservative reports, promise to continue
brisk for at least two years. Prospective
builders who held off expecting a down-
ward movement in the lumber market,
waited in vain, and have decided to go
ahead with their structures.

The first building material sent from
Ottawa to South Africa since the war was
started eighteen months ago, was for
warded last week. It consisted of a car
load of sashes and doors sent from David-
son & Thackeray's factory to their Cape
Town head-quarters. A revival and boom
in this business is expected to follow, now
that trade relations have been restored.

and very. popular.

B. Eddy Co., will be strongly reminded of
the losses sustained, a twelye-month before,
in the fire that swept parts of Hull and
Ottawa. The district has been in a great
part restored. Many of the mill yards are
piled high once more, but the Quebec side
of the Ottawa river, south of Main street,
Hull, is still a barren waste of ashes. This,
however, will likely be piled high during
the coming season.

The Eddy Company has rebuilt its mill,
and two new pulp mills are to be erected at
the Chaudiere. The paper and pulp mills
of the Eddy Company will all be rebuilt be-
fore the end of the year. Work in the match
and paper factories, already completed, is
booming.

An important lumber case is now being
tried in the Superior Court, Hull. About
$400,000 is involved in the action, which
was instituted by Mrs. Dezouche against
Alexander Fraser, the well-known lumber-
man. Plaintiffs first husband, Mr. McCos-
han, was foreman for and afterwards part-

ner of Mr. Fraser in the ownership of an |

extensive and valuable limit in the Ottawa
district. Shortly after McCoshan’s death
in 1885, the limit was sold, presumably at
the instigation of Mr. Fraser. Mrs. Dezo-
uche now claims that the interest of herself
and children, the heirs of McCoshan, were
not protected in the deal, in short, that the
limit was sold below its value. Defendants,
on the other hand, claim that the partner-
ship affairs were wound up on the most
advantageous terms to all concerned.
Legal advice was taken and the limit pro-
perly advertised and sold by public auction.
In the case, evidence was given by J. R.
Booth, W. J. Poupore, ex-M. P., Hiram
Robinson and other well-known lumber-
men regarding the value of the limit, the
terms of the sale and the business relations
between Mr. Fraser and Mr. McCoshao.
The action has produced an interesting and
keen legal battle. Judgment will not be
given for several months, asthereis a large
array of witnesses yet to be heard.

Mr. William Bowden, for many years
book-keeper with the Hull Lumber Com-
pany, has resigned that position. Hereafter
he will travel in the interests of the Sani-
taris’ Mineral Water Company, with head-
quarters at Toronto. Mr. Bowden was
one of Ottawa’s most progressive citizens,

member of several fraternal societies. In
the lumber business there were few better
posted than Mr. Bowden, who carries
hearty wishes for his future success.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION

SUCCESSFUL TIMBER LIMIT SALE.

As announced, the timber limits in the
township of Ermatinger, onthe north shore
of Lake Huron, jointly aa se by Messrs.
Peter Ryanand E. R. C. Clarkson, were
offered for sale in = ‘rotunda of the
Board of Trade, Toronto, on Thurday,
April 18th. The township comprises thirty-
six square miles, and was divided into
four lots of 9 square miles each. Mr.
Ryan was auctioneer. The attendance of
lumbermen was large and the bidding

at times quite spirited, particularly for the,

north-east quarter. The limits were
disposed of a follows :

South-east quarter, $42,000, to J. W.
Munro,M.P.P., of Pembroke.

North-east quarter, $96,000, to Ferguson
McFadden, Renfrew.

South-west quarter, $63,000, to J. W.
Munro, Pembroke.

North-west quarter, $55,000, J.W. Munro,
Pembroke.

The net proceeds of the sale were $256,-
900, of over $7,000 per square mile, which
is regarded as an exceptionally good
price. When the same limits were offered
for sale a short time ago the reserve bid
of $125,000 was not reached, and the
I mits were withdrawn. The wisdom of
this course has now been demonstrated

STOCKS ON LONDON DOCKS.

The following figures show the stock of
timber, deals, etc., on the public docks at
London on March ist for two years:

consumption has been checked. Spruce
deals, on the other hand, have dropped
considerably in the month of March;
Quebec 2nd and 3rd being now 10s to 15S
per standard lower than in February, and
St. John deals having been sold at very
unreasonable rates, from which recovery
should be rapid. Birch timber and planks
have been in better demand, and elm and
ash timber also ina retail way. In white
pine there is no change to record. Oak
has continued difficult to sell favourably.

i

DOORS AND MILL WORK.

The condition of the sash and door in-
dustry, according to the American Lum-
berman, is most satisfactory. That journal
says:

A practically unanimous report comes
from all sections of the country regarding
the unusual strength of demand and general
satisfaction existing in the door and mill
work industry. Building operations every-
where show an enormous increase over the
corresponding period of a year ago, being
variously reported at from 50 to 200 per
cent. augmentation in volume,and the sash
and door people are already obtaining a
considerably increased percentage of this
big demand for building material. Jobbers
here state that they are simply over-
whelmed with orders and some would no
doubt be glad of a short respite in order to
catch ap.

It was teared by many of the manufac-
turers and jobbers that the establishment
of the new price list on April 3 would be

new list has not been as yet extensively
circulated, but wherever it has been re-
ceived it is meeting with favor. The plac-
ing of list prices at a figure close to the
actual selling price is believed by most
dealers to have been a good move, one
great advantage being derived from the
fact that the retai trade is also receiving
no small benefit, which it will not be slow
to appreciate.

Among other strengthening features of
the door market is the scarcity of shop and
better lumber. Prices on all grades of
stock above common have advanced $1 a
thousand since the first of the year and
will average over $2 a thousand higher
than they were a year-ago, quotations on
some items of stock, as shown by recent
sales, being from $3 to $5 higher now than
last spring. This is caused by scarcity
alone. Users of factory lumber are no

® longer timid about paying the better prices
asked by manufacturers and wholesalers,
their chief solicitude being to obtain the
kinds of stock they need, the price, if with-
in reasonable bounds, cutting a small figure.

TRADE ENQUIRIES.

commission a responsible Canadian manu-
facturer of maple flooring and maple wood

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Vessels are now loading lumber at
Quebec for the United Kingdom, and a
number of charters have been effected
for loading at St. Lawrence ports during
May and June. Spruce deals seem to be
a little firmer and in somewhat better de-
mand. ‘In square and waney timber the
only change to note is a slight advance in

ed at from 48 to 52 cents per cubic foot.

The reports from the drives in Quebec
and New Brunswick are very favorable,

much too low, and an advance must be
made if the manufacturers are to make a
living profit. The hardwood trade is
rather disappointing. Consumers, for
some reason not easily explained, are pur-
suing a hand-to-mouth policy, and are
purchasing, it would seem, only for im-

GREAT BRITAIN.

Business in British timber circles is
proceeding slowly. Buyers are
exercismg what seems to be utnecessary
caution, as there are many indications
that prices havereached the bottom, Not-
withstanding, the recovery is likely to be
very gradual, At recent auction sales prices
generally have declined, but it is significant
that the best classes of deals have held
their position with a marked degree of
firmness. The spruce trade is showing
more life. Dealers who have purposely
delayed buying inthe expectation that
shippers would accept reductions from
the fixed first-open-water prices, are now
offering £8 10s and £8 per standard c.\f.
London for 3x9 second and third quality.
At these figures they have been unable
to effect purchases, an advance of 5s on
these prices being asked by shippers,
while £8 10s c.i.f. is predicted for third
quality within a short time. Charters ef.
fected in Great Britain show a lower ten-
dency of freights, 41s being the average
for large vessels from the Maritime pro-
vinces, 42s 6d from the St. Lawrence to
west coast of Great Britain, and 46s 3d to
east coast.

THE LOG DRIVES.

FREDERICTON, N. B., April 25th.—The
news from the Upper St.John log drives is
encouraging. W. H. Cuniff & Sons, who
operate on the Allegash, have all their logs
out of the small streams.
out about 14,000,000 feet for W.H. Murray
and Andre Cushing & Sons. Charles E.
Jones is out of Little Black river and into
the main St. John with 3,000,000 feet for
W. H. Murray. Neil McLean, who oper~
ated on Big Brook for W.H. Murray, is in-
to the main river with 2,000,000 feet. John
Sweany has 2,500,000 feet out of Brown
Brook and into the main river. He oper-
ates for Andre Cushing & Son. R.A. Es-
tey isthrough with driving on the Tobique
after only eleven days’ work. This is the
quickest driving ever known on the Tobique
for the amount of lumber which Mr. Estey
brought out, three million feet.

McCollum, who operates on the Tobique ©

for Hilyard Bros. ., is also out with his drive.
Hale & Murchie’s drive at the headwa-
ters of the Tobique is coming along well.

Gilman Bros. and Burden, who operate
on the Upper St. John, have their lumber
allin the main river except about 1,000,000
feet, which is coming along nicely.

On the Nashwaak the drives are getting
along better than for many years, the con-
ditions being exceptionably favorable.

James Hallet, who operates on the
Grand River for Randolph. & Baker, has his
cut of 2,000,000 into safe waters. Jacob
Hazleton, who has 3,000,000 on the Resti-
gouche, expects to finish stream driving
about the middle of next week. Daniel
Nixon, who cuts about 1,500,0v0 for the

‘William Richards Company, will be out
next week with all his cut.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.

ONTARIO,

The lumber trade of the past week has
not been particularly active, when con-
sideration is given to the fine building
weather. In some quarters disappoint-
ment with the volume of business is ex-
pressed, while on the other hand some
manufacturers and dealers state that they
are experiencing a brisk demand for lum-
ber for immediate shipment. Several
blocks of pine in the Georgian Bay dis-
trict have recently changed hands for
shipment to the east principally. Most
of the mills on the Georgian bay are in
operation, some of them with day and night
crews, so that within a few weeks there
will be considerable of the new cut ready
for the market. The water in the streams
is favorable for driving operations, and
most of the logs are l'kely to reach the
While pine prices are being held
firmly, this is not equally true of hard-
A tendency is shown by a few
manufacturers to cut prices, in the hope
of disposing of their old stock. This,
however, is not the general disposition,
as there doubtless exists a strong senti-
ment against any reduction from the
prices which have been established for
sometime past. Itis believed that the
small number who are compelled to real-
ize will not have any appreciable effect on
the market. Lath continues to gain in
strength. As high as $2.60 for No. 1 at
the mill is occasionally asked, although
the average price is about ten cents below
this figure. Retail yards in Toronto are
asking $3.75.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Chartering of vessels to carry lumber
has been more active during the past
week, and it is probable that considerable
shipments will be made this year to South
America and the West Indies. France
will also take a larger quantity than last
year, as between 10,000,000 and 15,000, -
ooo feet has already been sold to that
market. Shippers to Great Britain are
still holding back in the hope that prices
willimprove. Although prices are not
likely to be as high as last year, shippers
will receive an advantage om account of
lower freight rates. New Brunswick
cedar shingles are slightly easier, from
the fact that most mills have resumed
operations. Prices are in the neighbor-
hood of $2.95 for extras, $2.25 for clears,
and $2.25 for second clears.

UNITED STATES.
Some incidents looking towards higher
trices for lumber in the United States
have taken place within the last week. In
Chicago sales of white pine piece stuff are
reported at from $13 to $13.50 for short,
while at Ashland common inch pine is

held at $15. There is a scarcity of certain
grades at most of the mills on Lake
Superior, and at a meeting of the price
list committee of the association repre-
senting that district, to be held this week,
it is expected that an advance of 50 cents
will be made on these grades. This
advance is not intended to represent a
general marking up of prices, asthe mar-
ket 1s almost certain to be affected by the
new cut which will be ready for the mar-
ket in about one month. Then it would
be strange if prices did not become a little
easier. The demand for sash and doors
continues, and on account of the scarcity
of shop lumber, substitutes for white pine
are being used as far as possible. East-
ern spruce is very firm, as is also hem-
lock. At Menominee the price is $8.25
on the dock for shoit hemlock, and $9.25
to $9.50 forlong. A slight improvement
in hardwoods is reported. Maple has
been selling freely at lower prices, al-
though it is understood that in Buffalo an
effort is being made to prevent the cut-
ting of prices. Eastern yards are show-
ing a disposition to stock up.

Lath and shingles are in short supply
and below the requirements. For New
Brunswick cedar shingles of first quality,
$2.95 to $3 is asked in Boston. Buffalo
dealers have no supply of white pine
shingles, and are giving most of their
attention to red cedars.

GREAT BRITAIN.

As yet there have been few signs that
the British market is recovering from its
lethargy. Perhaps the only relief is found
in the increased consumption in London,
where stocks are heavy and badly in need
of being reduced to a lower level. Im-
porters are prepared to buy at a specu-
lative price, but show little willingness to
meet the prices asked by shippers. There
seems to be a disposition on the part of
manufacturers in exporting countries to
curtail the production, a movement in this
direction being now under way in Sweden.
Pine and spruce deals are selling from
stock quite freely, but some reaction in
the price of the latter is reported. Ata
recent auction sale in London 3x! third
quality spruce averaged £8 2s 6d per
standard, and 3x9 third quality £9.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.

(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)

The chief topic in local Inmber circles
is the announcement by Mr. J. R. Booth of
his intention to move his sawmill from
Ottawa. Since the fire a year ago, there
has been a strong agitation to prohibit, or
at least restrict, lumber piling in the resi-
dential sections. It was contended that
the long avenues of lumber fed the flame
and indirectly caused the destruction of
other valuable property. No action was
taken in the matter further than the
amendment of the fire by-law, which re-
quires that the lumber shall be piled at a
safe distance from residences and other
structures. This does not satisfy the ex-
tremists, who are still clamoring for the
removal of the piles. There is also a
scheme under way having for its object the
imposition of a tax on lumber piled within
the city limits.

The avoidance of these threatened re-
strictions furnishes one reason for Mr.
Booth’s desire to locate elsewhere. He
stated that a site would be chosen on the
Ottawa below the city, where advantage
can be taken of the river for the transpor-
tation of logs and lumber.

Many believe, however, that Mr. Booth
will reconsider his proposal, and continue
his lumber business here. The removal of
it would mean a serious blow to both Hull
and Ottawa.

As soon as the water in the Ottawa re-
cedes sufficiently, blasting operations will
be commenced on thr site of the new mill
at the Chaudiere, to be erected by the Hull
and Ottawa Pulp, Power and Paper Com-
pany. The ruins of the Hull Lumber
Company’s mill have all been cleared
away, ready for the blasting. The new
company has just acquired possession of a
portion of the Table Rock from the Quebec
Government, situated alongside the prop-
erty secured from the Hull Lumber Com-
pany. These, along with the adjoining
area secured from Mr. Alexander Fraser,
gives the new company control of the
Table Rock and adjoining water power.
Mr. Wm. Kennedy, of Montreal, consult-
ing engineer of the company, is now pre-
paring plans for the new building. A power
house will also be erected for the genera-
tion and-distribution of power for manu-
facturing pnrposes.

All the mills in and about Ottawa are
now running full time. The Hull Lumber
Company is operating Mason’s mill at
Hintonburg and will also operate Ritchie
Brothers’ mill at Aylmer as soon as the

new machinery of larger capacity is instal-
ed. Mr. J. R. Booth’s, Gilmour & Hugh-
son’s and W. C. Edward’s mills are all in
full swing. There should be no scarcity
of logs this season, as the drives are all
being well handled on account of the high
water. During the past week the logs
have been coming down the Gatineau in
large numbers. There are at present
over 70,000 at the boom. Several large
rafts of logs have also been handled on
Lake Deschenes for local mill owners.
These logs came from the tributaries of
the Upper Ottawa.

There is no change in prices in the Ot-
tawa lumber market, which holds firm.
No break is looked for ; indeed, a further
advance is conceded, as several lines are
sold out. Although the present mill opera-
tions will relieve the stringency, a heavy
demand will sustain prices.

Navigation is now open on the Ottawa
river and Rideau canal, and lumber ship-
pers have taken early advantage of the
fact. Several barges belonging to the
Ottawa Transportation Company’s fleet
have been loaded at the Chaudiere docks
for American points. Shipments by rail
are also brisk. A new spur line has been
laid, connecting with the Export Lumber
Co.’s yards and those of Mr. J. R. Booth.

The E. B. Eddy Company is carrying
out extensive plans for the improvement of
its fire protection. A second large water
tower has been erected. The first was
built near the match factory and paper
mills in the west end of Hull. The second
one is being erected in the east end, near
the sulphite mill. These towers have a
capacity of several thousand gallons of
water, thus furnishing increased pressure
for the water mains. The buildings have
also been supplied with automatic sprink-
lers. Work on the new paper mills is being
rushed ahead and building operations on
the Eddy Co.’s premises promise to be
even brisker than they were last year.

Ottawa, May 6th, 1901.

TIMBER LIMIT PURCHASE,

It is reported that the Ross timber limits
and mica mines in the province of Quebec
have been purchased by McLaren & Co.,
of Buckingham and Ottawa. The limits
are extensive and the consideration is
said to have been in the neighborhood of
$500,000.

Prouty & Miller have a large drive of
logs in Cherry river, Que., en route to
their mill.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. .
ONTARIO,

The retail demand for lumber has
shown a very considerable expansion
within the past week. Travellers from
wholesale yards have sent in more orders
than for some time past, and mostly for
quick delivery, showing that the lumber
1s needed to replenish broken stocks. The
call for building lumber is quite brisk, and
iflabor troubles in the larger cities are
avoided, as now seems probable, a _ pros-
perous building season may reasonably be
expected. Good lumber appears to lead in
point of strenth, and while mill culls are
selling at high prices, this class of lumber
is not as strong as it was one year ago.
Lower prices fcr culls when the new cut
is warketable are spoken of, but this will
depend mainly upon the large manufac-
turers, who, up to the present, have held
together with remarkable unanimity. The
course of the hardwood market is some-
what uncertain. The demand, although
improving, is still light, and some irregu-
larity exists in mill men’s prices, The
largest producers, however, are not weak-
ening, as they realize that if the demand
in the Eastern States should become
active, all the Canadian stock would be
wanted. in.a_ short. time. There will
probably be more liberal buying of bard-
woods for the next two months,and as the
production is likely to be below normal,
the uncertainty may soon pass away.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Nothing has transpired during the past
week to improve the position of the spruce
market. There is a feeling that as the
season advances there will be an improve-
ment in the demand for British deals,
but the outlook at the present time 1s not
very promising. Dry spruce boards and
No. 2 pine boards 1 and 1% inch in
thickness are inquired for quite freely.
Spruce clapboards are firm on account of
the small supply. Cedar shingles are un-
changed in price, with offerings more
hberal. On Boston rate of freight extras
are quoted at $2.95, clears at $2.65, and
second clears at $2.15. Prospects for the
log drives are not as bright as they were
a fortnight ago. It is feared that a con-
siderable quantity of the cut on the Up-
per St. John river will be hung up. One
operator who took out 40,000,000 feet
does not expect to get over 10,000,000
feet into safe waters. Should there be a
heavy tie-up of logs, it would greatly cur-
tail the lumber production of the coming
season, and naturally strengthen the
market.

UNITED STATES.

The scarcity of dry lumber 1s respons-
ible for the strength of the United States
lumber market. The question of advanc-
ing prices has been discussed, but the

or Shippers’ Agents for wholesale Distribution
of Lumber or Manufactured Wood Goods. .

opinion of the more conservative manu-
facturers has ruled. The price list com-
mittee of the Mississippi and Wisconsin
Valley Associations held its meeting last
week, when it was decided to make only
a few minor changes. These were to ad-
vance slightly the price of finishing lum-
ber and lath. Mill culls of the new cut
are offered by Wisconsin mills at $10. In
theveastern distributing centres there isa
scarcity of 10 and 12 inch boards. Orders
for the east have increased of late, due
largely to building operations. In Chi-
cago advances have been made on cer-
tain items,such as 12 inch boards and 2x12
joists. Norway pine is a scarce article
and likely to sell at higher prices this
spring. The situation in respect to
spruce continues as bright as ever. The
consumption promises to be above norm-
al, while the available supply of logs
for manufacturing imto lumber will
not be large. Spruce deals are want-
ed for sh'pment to South America, for
which $16per thousand is offered. Hard-
woods are not sharing to any extent in
the strength of the lumber market. Both
consumers and dealers are still purchas-
ing.in a very moderate way, but as their
stocks are becoming reduced they will be
compelled very shortly to pursue a more
liberal policy in. respect to purchases.

GREAT BRITAIN,

Of the British timber market a London
correspondent says :—‘‘ The markets in
England are extremely dull. Shippers of
all kinds of goods are offering at very
low figures, and buyers are not disposed
to purchase, fearing that to-morrow or
next week may see a further drop in
prices. We cannot say that we know of
a market for any class of timber, whether
spruce, pine or hardwood, or whether
from Canada, the United States or the
Baltic. Such a state of things, however,
cannot last indefinitely, as the importers
here must needs purchase some stock,
and sooner or later there will be buying.”
That the condition of the market is about
as above outlined is borne out by informa-
tion from other sources. Pine prices
have kept up remarkably well, but the
high prices are curtailing the demand,
and in some cases substitutes in the form
of cheaper woods are being used. Spruce
is decidedly weaker, having declined to
what is thought to be an unreasonable ex-
tent. Atasale held by Foy, Morgan &

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION

“ STOCKS AND PRICES.

Gibson & Company, of Wroxeter, Ont.,
have shipped eight cars of maple rollers to
England this season.

P. G. Mahoney expects to ship about
5,000,000 feet of deals from Cape Tor-
mentine, N. B., this season, and about
2,000,000 feet from Bathurst.

The New Brunswick Government will
offer for sale on May 22nd 10 timber berths
on the Upsalquitch and Nepisiguit rivers,
ranging in extent from 5 to 9 square miles
each.

The sale of the property of Ross Bros.,
of Buckingham, Que., to the James Mc-
Laren Lumber Company, has been con-
firmed. The property includes limits, logs,
saw-mill, etc.

The barque Africa is loading lumber at
Bear River N. S., for Buenos Ayres, on
account of Clarke Bros. The Golden Rod
will load at Digby for South America,
Clarke Bros. being the shippers.

It is reported that W. N. Drader has
purchased 1,000,000 ft. of logs belonging
to Steinhoff & Gordon, of Wallaceburg,
Ont., and that the latter will not rebuild
their mill. Mr. Drader has also purchased
from them 600 cords of bolts.

The srt. Heighington is loading deals
and lumber at Hochelaga, Montreal, for
the United Kingdom, for W. & J. Sharples.
The Montenegro, which sailed from Mont-
real last week for London, carried 70,150
pieces of deals, 1,282 elm strips, 1,840
pes. walnut boards, and considerable wood
pulp. The str. Alcides, which sailed for
Glasgow, carried 22,259 pcs. deals.

Concerning the Barbadoes lumber
market Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Com-
pany say: The only arrival with white
pine has been the Boston Marine, from St.
John, N. B., with 58 M shipping and 36 M
second quality, which was readily taken
by the dealers at $25 and $19.60 respec-
tively. The Minto, from Lunenburg, N.S.,
arrived on the 24th ultimo with 120 M ft.
spruce. This market is amply supplied
with spruce, and dealers are only willing
to buy at a considerable decline on previous
rates, particularly as several cargoes are
on the way. A lot of 329 M spruce laying
shingles have been sold at $2.10.

The contract for the suppy of lumber to
be used by the city of Winnipeg this season
was let on the 22nd April to D. E. Sprague,

PINE
LUMBER

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

If any change in lumber during the
past week, it has been in the direction of
a hardening of prices. That all the stock
manufactured this season will find a mar-
ket within a reasonable time is the opin-
ion held by the trade generally. Already
large shipments of pine are being made
to Michigan points and the Eastern States.
Last week several million feet went from
the Georgian Bay district to Tonawanda
and Saginaw, also a large quantity of
lath, which is in good demand. Nearly
all the mills are operating day and night,
and much of the output is already con-
tracted for. Inthe event ofall the logs
reaching the mills, the cut this year will
be large. There is some apprebension
that a portion of the log production may
be hung up, although late rains have im-
proved the outlook. The trade in hard-
woods is still quiet. Some dealers report
a good demand for elm, others for
maple, with the total volume of busi-
ness below what it should be. Shingles
continue scarce, but this will soon be re-
lieved by the new cut. }

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The spruce lumber market is showing a
little more strength. The number of ves-
sels loading at the various ports indicates
that the quantity of lumber purchased for
foreign shipment is larger than was gener-
ally suppesed. Two vessels have been
chartered to joad at St. John for Austra-
lia, and one for France. The West In-
dies 1s also likely to provide a market for
a greater quantity of lumber than last
year. Clapboards are higher, selling at
$30 to $31 for extra spruce, and $28 to
$29 for clear, on Boston rate of freight.
The supply of cedar shingles is not large,
and quotations are unchanged at $2.90 to
$3.00 for extras. The outlook for the log
drives is still uncertain. On the Upper
St, John about 70,000,000 feet is in dan-
ger of being hung up. Should this be
the case, the cut of lumber in New Bruns-
wick this year will be unusually light.

UNITED STATES,

The shipments of pine lumber frem the
Mississippi and Wisconsin producing
districts since the first of the year have
been over 20 per cent. in excess of the
shipments for the same months 1n 1900,
This increase is due to an expansion in
building operations, as is forcibly illus-
trated by the volume of building permits
issued. In twenty-one of the principal
cities of the United States the permits for
April show a gain of over 200 per cent. as
compared with April, 1900. The lumber
situation is therefore very strong, and it is
predicted that prices will be maintained
with great uniformity throughout the sea-
son. Buffalo and Tonawanda are shipping

by water to the east, where the demand
is increasing for both building and manu-
facturing purposes. Stocks at Tonawanda
are badly broken, but cargoes now arriv-
ing will help out in this respect. The first
cargo was received on May totb, from
the Georgian Bay district, and consisted
of 2,000,000 feet of pine. A peculiar cir-
cumstance has risen in respect to box
lumber. At the mills it has been advanced,
while in the eastern market prices have
fallen off from fifty cents to one dollar
per thousand. In the Saginaw valley
there are no large stocks of pine in first
hands. Log run ranges from $16 to $25,
box from $12 to $16, and mill culls from
$12 to $13. An improvement in the de-
mand for quartered oak is about the only
change in the bardwoods, which exhibit
much less life than pine and spruce.
Shingles and lath continue scarce and
strong. In Chicago No. 1. mixed pine
lath brings $2.75 by cargo, and No. 1.
white pine $3.25.
GREAT BRITAIN.

The import of sawn and hewn timber
into the United Kingdom during the four
months ended April 30th was 637,854
loads, compared with 571,906 loads in the
corresponding period of last year. This
increase 1s not healthy, in view of the
large stock and the general uncertainty of
the market. Trade is exceedingly quiet,
and buying is being done in a hand-to-
mouth manner. The agents of shippers
are not forcing sales, believing that such
a course would result in depressing the
market. One or two Swedish shippers

are said to have made low offers and to |

have closed contracts at £8 10s to £8 15s
for battens c.i.f. London. Spruce deals
have exhibited further weakness, but it is
said that large quantities have been pur-
chased to arrive, and this stock is likely
to be held at firm prices. Pine prices
have been sustained, but with difficulty,
as there 1s a large stock on the London
and Liverpool markets. The stock of
square and waney pife at Liverpool is
about 2,500 cubic feet larger than one

STOCKS AND PRICES.

The bark Suitelma is loading lumber at
Vancouver, B.C., for the west coast of
South America,

Vigars & Company, of Port Arthur, Ont.,
have a contract to supply the C.P.R. with
a considerable quantity of timber.

B. Stackhouse, operating for Robert
Moore, has succeeded in getting a drive of
1,500,000 feet of pulp logs in safe waters.
The logs are for the St. John Sulphite
Fibre Co., of St. John, N.B.

The first raft of square timber for the
season passed through the Calumet slides
last week. It comprised 145 cribs, and
was taken out by Hurdman & Company,
of Ottawa, from the old Bronson limits on
the Antoine creek, near Des Joachims.

Willam J. Noble, who is operating on the
Upper St. John for A. Cushing & Co., has
his drive of 10,000,000 feet of logs in

corporation limits. Cunliffe Bros., who
have 12,000,000 feet for Murray and Cush-
ing, of St. John, consider that they
are likely to get out safely. Everett

Parker has a drive of 3,000,000 feet on the
Dungarvon, andis reported in safe waters.
The South-west Miramichi drive is getting
along satisfactorily.

THE GLASGIW MARKET.

Messrs. Edmiston & Mitchells, in their
last circular, review the Glasgow market
as follows:

Waney Boarpwoop. — First-Class. —
The stock of large average wood is now
much reduced, and buyers are so much op-
posed to buying small wood, which they
think unprofitable, that transactions have
been few and far between. There are
some enquiries in the market, however,
but consumers are anxious to await fresh
arrivals. 19-inch Waney has been sold at
2s. 11d. A parcel of square 40 cubic feet
brought 2s. 7d. Second-Class.—This wood
is very scarce. 17-inch of good quality is
worth 2s., and 18-inch 2s. 2d.

Rep Prne.—There is no enquiry. The
nominal value of 45 cubic feet average
wood is 1s. 9d.

Oakx.—A few small sales have taken
place during the month, and 65 cubic feet
average wood is worth 2s. 11d.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Outdoor operations have been much
interrupted during the past week by
rain, causing a temporary falling off
in the consumption of lumber. En-
quiries have not been less numerous,
nor has the tone of the general market
weakened in the slightest degree. Pine
and hemlock are stronger than the
hardwoods, there being quite a heavy
demand from the United States for
Canadian pine and a good local call
for hemlock. ‘The scarcity of certain
sizes of hemlock is having an influ-
ence towards higher prices, and it is
believed that the timber will gradual-
ly become moré valuable. The new
cut of pine has resulted in a slight
readjustment of prices where they have
been abnormal. Mill culls, for in-
stance, which sold as high as $12 at
the mill, are now quoted from $10.50
to $11. ‘The quietness ol hardweods
is a peculiar feature of the trade, and
it is a question how long prices can
withstand such dullness. In no
branch is there any particular activ-
ity. The lath and shingle situation
is much the same as last week,
searcity of stock and firm prices be-
ing the characteristic features.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Although lumber shipments to the
United Kingdom this season are al-
most certain to show a falling off, it
is hoped that this may be offset by
intreased exports to other countries.
Vessels have already loaded at east-

erh ports for France, Australia and

and other charters
made. It appears that
prices of spruce deals have about
reached the bottom, and if there
should be no advance the large man-
ufacturers at least will carry their
stock over rather than sell it at a
sacrifice. Some manufacturers are
preparing to cut a larger quantity
than intended for the United States
market. The log drives are still un-
cettain. At last report several mil-
lion feet were said to be hung up on
dilferent streams.

New Brunswick cedar shingles are
firm, the best quality being held at

South
have been

America,

* $3.00, on Boston rate of freight.

UNITED STATES,

An improvement in the ‘lumber
trade of the past week is reported
from nearly every section of the Unit-
ed States. Inability to fill orders
owing to scarcity of dry stock has
curtailed the volume of business in
some markets, notably Tonawanda
and Buffalo, which have experienced a
lively demand from the east.” Higher
prices are being asked for selects and
uppers, while No, 2 cuts and better
are scarcer than for some time. Buy-
ers in the east are willing to pay
slightly advanced prices, a condition
which has greatly improved the out-
look, as for some time past it has
been almost impossible for dealers to
place lumber there at a reasonable
profit. In Wisconsin special activity
is noted in Norway, which has recent-
ly undergone an advance. In the
Saginaw valley log run pine is quot-
ed at $18 to $22, but some choice lots
have been sold at $24. Box lumber
sells at $15, and mill culls at $12 to
$12.50. Spruce lumber continues
strong, with no indication that the
starting up of mills will bring about
any decline in price. Frames range
from $17 to $20 at Boston. ‘There
has been been an increased consump-
tion of hardwoods within the past
fortnight, although trade is still more
backward than the conditions war-
raut. Basswood is improving on ac-
count of a large demand for manufac-
turing purposes. In Chicago the
range of price is from $20 to $22 for
firsts and seconds, $16 to $17 for
common, and $11.50 to $13 for culls
in carload lots. Maple sells well,
but continues low in price. An ad-
vance of ten cents per thousand is be-
ing asked by several holders of pine
shingles.

GREAT BRITAIN,

The timber market of Great Britain
does not seem to improve. ‘The dull-
ness of trade is remarkable for this
time of the year, while the opinions
of importers in respect to the future
vary very widely, some contending

that a further decline of from two to
three dollars per standard will be
witnessed. The Timber Trades Jour-
nal takes a gloomy view of the sit-
uation, and points out that in Lon-
don at May time it is usual to have
in the docks about four months’ con-
sumption of timber, while the présent
stock would supply the wants of the
trade for about eight months. The
situation at London is a reflection of
what exists at all the large import-
ing centres. It is further pointed
out that this overstock represents
goods purchased at very high f.o.b.
prices, and that they must be handled
in the face of a general decline in f.o.
b. values. Under such conditions im-
porters all over the country are de-
clining new business until the heavy
stock on hand becomes reduced. Spruce
deals particularly are seeking a lower
level, the first-open water arrivals be-
ing altogether too heavy considering
the ample stock on hand, Recent

sales have been made at lower prices, -

and unless the agents offer conces-
sions in this respect it will be
impossible to effect sales. The situa-
tion would be greatly relieved by a
light import this season, which now
seems probable. Birch planks are
somewhat scarce at Glasgow, and are
finding buyers at slightly better fig-
ures than those which ruled one
month ago.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,

Dealers throughout Manitoba and
the ‘Territories report a very satis-
factory volume of trade. The most
activity is in Winnipeg and the larger
towns, where building operations are
quite brisk. The permits issued in
the city of Winnipeg up to May 25th
of this year numbered 244, represent-
ing an aggregate value ol $753,500, as
against 151, of a value of $454,959, for
the same period last year. Lumber
prices show a tendency to improve.
In British Colunibia the lumber trade
is not particularly active, the foreign
demand being rather dull. It is
thought that buyers may be waiting
for further declines in the freight
market, but this is scarcely probable,
on account of the anticipated large
grain export this year. There is a
strong demand for British Columbia
shingles, the price of which has _ re-
mained unchanged, uotwithstanding
the advance that has taken place on
Puget Sound.

ly, at $18, a very fair rate. The on-
ly receipt of shingles is a small lot
of 39,000 spruce laying, which we
sold at $2.09.

(Correspondence of the CaNADA LUMBERMAN.)

Business is brisk in local lumber
circles and considerable lumber is _be-
ing shipped by water and rail. Prices
for common stock promise to continue
on a firm basis, as the great bulk of
the local stock has been ought up by
an American dealer. ‘This gentleman,
Mr. Emerick, represented the Oswego
Manufacturing Co. of Oswego, N.Y.
his concern is a branch of the Stand-
ard Oil Company.

In all about 30,000,000 feet of com-
mon box lumber was secured. From
the W. ©. Edwards Co. alone, 10,-
000,000 feet was secured, from Wat-
son & todd 5,000,000 feet, from J. R.
300th about the same quantity, and
from the Rideau Lumber Company
and other concerns smaller qusttities.
The price is said to have been $14 a
thousand. ‘This nove will clear out
ground for higher grades of lumber.
Local labor troubles, present and fend-
ing, have affected the lumber market
in a degree that is felt by the jobbers
and factory men. This tutest set-
hack has interfered with what prom-
ised to be a busy season’s building
operations. The wood workers are
now applying for better wages and
hours and threaten to strike unless
their demands are complied with. Tf
they do so an entire suspension of
work may be looked. for.

The trade with Fngland and the
United States continues brisk, but no
comparison can be made, as the fire
of business

blocked these aventies
last year. Good pine silings are
quoted at $30 to $40 per M. , the one

inch stuff at $30 to $32, the 1 and a
quarter and 1 and one-half inch at
$33 to $35 and the 2 inch at $36 to
$40. Pine shorts range f[«m fir to
$14 per M. In no single instance do
prices show a tendency to weaken,
though the demand has undergone a
{emporary decline.

A prominent VWnelish *t1yer at pres-
ent in the city, states that the out-
look for Canadian lumber on the Fng-
lish market is a poor one. Targe
shipments made from the Baltie-ports
have been disposed of at low prices,
and within the past six months’ quo-
tations have gone down from $5 to
$8. This gentleman states that the
Ottawa mill owners will have to re-
vert to their former standard if they

May 29 1901

are to retain the good will and cu
tom of the English manufacturers a
buyers. The classification adopted
two years ago, he states, is alte gether
too low and not suitable to the Eng-
lish market. The standard rejeetau
upon the formation of the Deal Cul
lers Association, he continued, was
much more acceptable and satisfact-
ory to the English buyer and manu-
facturer, and hence must be return
to if satisfaction is to he given. a
A few days ago 147 cribs of first
class square timber were i
through the Calumet slides on
tawa river near Pembroke. ;
ber was cut by Mr. Robert Hurd
and it was brought from Des Joa
ins, Que. Such a movement of
ber would have occasioned 1 ut s
interest Io years ago, but vhings
changed since. ‘The jproduction |
dropped steadily, and squaze timber
is now a rarity. ’
Reports from-the districts abot
Ottawa show inac tue crives @
moving freely, recent iting avin
made transportation easy on
streanis possible.
Ottawa, May 25th, 19or.

Do not neglect to read the advert
ments in each issue of the Weekly Lum-
berman. They contain much of interest.

FIRES.

The shingle mill of the Spicer
Shingle Mill Co. at Vancouver, Le Sho
was almost totally destroyed by fire
last week. ‘The loss, about $15,000,
is fully covered by insuratice.

The saw mill at Fraserville, Que.,
owned by W. Lachance, was burned
recently. ‘The loss is about $17,000,
and insurance small.

A fire near St. Martins, N.B., a few

days ago destroyed 300,000 feet of
lumber owned by the O’Neill Lumber
Co;

TIMBER LIMITS FOR SALE.

The Ontario Crown Lands Depart-
ment has decided to dispose of certain
timber limits in north western On-
tario. They will be offered for sale
by public auction at the Parliament
buildings, Toronto, on September 17.
‘The limits comprise a block of six
townships, Jarvis, Anderson, Chesley,
Whitman, Carter and Gilmour, situat-
ed north east of Sault Ste. Marie,
Ont., and forfeited or abandoned

berths situated in the townships of
Digby, Sherbourne, Lutterworth, Gra-
ham, Cartier, Levack, Hart, and on
Lake Temiscaming. The sale of the
townships north east of Sault Ste.
Marie has been decided upon in conse-
quence of the construction.of the Al-
goma Central Railway.

The Empire Lumber Comoany, of
Bulfalo, recently shipped forty-two
cars of 12x12 and 12x18—22 it. oak
timbers, amounting altogether to 355,-
ooo feet, to Montreal, to be used in
the construction of grain elevators
there.

At a meeting of the Michigan Hem-
lock Association held last. week it
was stated that the cut this year in
the lower peninsula of Michigan would
be about 50,000,000 feet less than
last year. It was decided that
prices at such points as Ann Arbor
and Detroit should uot be less than

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

The strength which is shown by the
lumber market is very encouraging to
holders of stock. Information from
manufacturers and dealers in pine is
decidedly optimistic, and the outlook
for building operations is improving
as the season advances. There is a
heavy local demand, and a liberal dis-
tribution to the Eastern States. The
hew cut apparently is having no in-
fluence upon prices; consequently in-
vestors who have delayed carrying
out proposed undertakings are now
proceeding with the work. ‘The state-
iment of the manager of-the Bank of
Montreal that the lumber markets
were congested and prices ruling low
has elicited much unfavorable com-
ment. So far as the markets of Ca-
nada and the United States are con-
cerned, his statements are widely at
variance with the facts, as it is many
years since the market has been in a
more healthy condition. With mil
culls, for instance, selling at fir at

the mill, surely tie market is not de-
pressed. On the «ther hand, the out-
look is that chere will ie tio material

decline in the jiice «f pine lumber
this year. This tiight be sa‘d of
hardwoods also, although this class

of lumber is not as aclive or tum as
pine. The British market is doubt-
less rather heavy, but Canadian man-
ufacturers are not ‘ikely to be secious-
ly affected thereby, on account of the
increased dema1i at liome and in the
United States.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Shipping of lumber during the past
week from the eastern provinces has
been quite active. Heavy shipments
have been made to Great Biitain, and
vessels have loaded for South Asnerica
and Antwerp. The shipment to Ant-

’-werp is the first that has taken place

for several years. The nusnber of
vessels under charter seems 10 indi-
cate that the export of spruce lumber
this season will be heavier than was
anticipated earlier in the year. ‘The
market for square and waney timber
is showing strength, pine timber hav-
ing advanced from one to three cents
per cubic foot. Most of the log
drives in Quebec are likely to reach
the mills, but in New Brunswick sever-
al drives have already been hung .
UNITED STATES,

The past we:k has been one of un-
usual activity in lumber circles. The
buying has been on a comparatively
large scale, and sales made in the
Lake Superior district have been at
the top prices of the year. Although
some of the new cut is »imost in
shipping condition, the sawing sea-
son having been in progress for six
weeks, white pine lumber is exhibit-
ing increased strength. ‘there seems
to be a large present and prospective
demand, and a strong helief tliat there
will be no material decline in prices
during the summer. J*rom Duluth
the sale is reported of several million
feet of No. 3 and better at $18, which
is a remarkable price. ‘Ihe east is
buying quite liberally, and although
receipts of lumber at Buffalo and
Tonawanda have been quite heavy,
the grades are still somewhat broken.
In view of the attitude of the western
producers the dealers at eastern dis-
tributing points may be furced to ad-
vance prices. Such a possibility at
this season of the year is unusual.
The manufacturers of spruce are show-
ing great confidence in the future of

5 ie SS RS 4a
we ee eee ee

prices, the present asking price at
Boston being fifty cents above the
list. The improvement in itardwoods
is slow. Sales of basswood ere on
the increase, but elm and rmiaple are
quiet. Brown and tlack ash are
meeting with better enquiry.

GREAT BRITAIN.

About the only encouraging news
{from Great Britain is the announce-
ment that at recent sales the buying
has shown more animation. Other
conditions remain unchanged. ‘The im-
port of timber so far this season has
been little less than for the corres-
ponding period of last year, and it
is feared that even lower prices may
be witnessed before the season closes.
A large quantity of the North of
Europe production is still unsold.
White sea, shippers have lately closed
some contracts, but the quotations
are believed to he fifty shillings lower
than the price quoted at the opening
of the season. The building trade is
inactive, even in the face of the com-
patatively low price of lumber. While
pine deals are reasonably firm, the
market for spruce is quite heavy. It
is reported that Canadian shippers
are accepting lower prices. For in-
stance, 3x9 third spruce has_ sold at
48 2s 6d c.i.f. London, and 3x7-8ths
at £7 5s, the latter being a reduction
of Ios per standard on battens. There
is a fair demand for 11-inch spruce,
but the quantity of this width avail-
able is not large.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

There has been a decided improve-
ment in the lumber demand in Winni-
peg, and a slightly better trade
throughout the province. Building
operations are quite active, and high--
er prices for lumber are looked for in
the near future. Conditions in Brit-
ish Columbia are reasonably satisfac-
tory, although foreign shipments have
not been heavy. The Provincial Gov-
ernment has prohibited the export of
cedar logs, which has affected a num-
ber of loggers. A considerable quan-
tity of such logs has been exported to
the coast sections of Washington
State, where the cedar limits are of
little account.

The Whaley Lumber Company, whose
mill at Huntsville, Ont., was burned
recently, are reported to have sold
their stock of logs to a Hamilton
firm.

Indies.
The steamers Daventry and Glad-

strey are loading lumber cargoes at
Sillery Cove, Que., for the United
Kingdom. The steamer Dunmoore
Head is loading a cargo of deals at
Batiscan, Que., for Cork, Ireland.
The Loughrigg Holme is about to load
a cargo of lumber at Montreal for
Barrow, Eng., the shippers being
Watson & Todd.

C. H. McMichael, of Beaverstone,
Ont., states that they expect to have
their drive of logs out in about two
weeks. On one of the creeks the wa-
ter is low, and about 25,000 pieces
are in danger of being hung up.

A shipmént of square timber, com-
prising four cribs of 135 pieces, was
made from J,indsay last week for
England. It was cut in Cartwright
township, and consisted chiefly of elm
and birch.

The shingle market at Saginaw,
Mich., is active, stocks being taken
about as fast as they come from the
saw. There is as yet very little
stock accumulating, and as the pro-

JOHN CHARLTON,

gan as years ago, it is not expected
that there will be any shingles piled
up for any length of time. The mark-
et is firm, with quotations there at
$2.50 and $3.50 for 18-inch white pine;
$1.75 to $3 for 16-inch white pine ;
cedar shingles, $2 and $3, for 18-inch
and $1.50 for 16-inch cedar.

A correspondent thus refers to the
Michigan lumber market: The mark-
et never manifested healthier condi-
tions. There is a demand for all
kinds of stock. Good lumber is par-
ticularly firm. Michigan white pine
is worth from $17 to $25, and Canada
stock from $16 to $21 for log run. Box
lumber has not been so_ strong as
some other grades, but is quoted at
$12.50 to $15. Norway is in demand,
but only two or three firms are cut-
ting it, and the old stock is practic-
ally exhausted. It is worth $11 and
up, according to dimension. Mill
culls are worth $12 to $13.

At an auction sale at Dublin, Ire-
labd, on May 25th, held by Richard
Martin & Co., Canadian timber
brought the following prices per Irish

THE BOSTON MARKET.
There continues to be a very firm mar-

ket for spruce lumber, with the demand .

active and the supply not fully up to re-
quirements. It is claimed the scarcity of
logs on the St. Jobn will be even more
serious than at first reported. Not much
cargo spruce is coming forward, and the
car mills are delaying orders.

The quotations on spruce in this market
are firmly held: Ten and 12-inch dimen-
sions, $18@1t9.50; 9-inch and under, $17@
$18; 10 and 12 inch random lengths, 10
feet and up, $17.50@18.50 5 2X4, 2%5, 2x6,
2x7 and 3x4, 10 feet and up, $15@16; all
other randoms, 9-inch and under, 10 feet
and up, $15.50@17; 5-inch and up,
merchantable boards, $15@$16 ; matched
boards, $17 to $18; out spruce boards $12.
50; bundle furring, $14.

There is a firm market for hemlock
lumber, with the supply small: Penn-
sylvania, No. 1, $16 to $17; No. 2, $14 to
$15; eastern Pennsylvania boards, $15 to
$16; random, $13 to $14.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

It might be regarded as misleading to
state that the lumber trade of Ontario is
experiencing a boom, yet the movement
of lumber during the past week has been
of such volume as to cause manufacturers
and dealers to feel well satisfied. The
most activity, of course. is confined to the
pine trade, in which branch heavy ship-
ments are being made to the United
States, while the local consumption has
been quite large. In many of the towns
extensive building operations are under
way ; for instance, in Sault Ste. Marie the

. Lake Superior Power Company are about

to commence the construction of fifty
double houses. The shipment of lumber
from Georgian Bay mill points is very
active, and a fair summer and good fall
trade is looked for. The stock lists sent
out by manufacturers on the 1st of June
show no decline in prices, but on the other
hand aslight advance in some grades.

The possibility that the carpenters of

Ottawa may continue their strike has some-
what unsettled the trade in that district, but
it is thought that.matters will be amicably
arranged before there has been much in-
terference to building operations. Nothing
new can be said of hardwoods, which con-
tinue to be purchased in a hand-to-mouth
manner.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Notwithstanding the backward demand
from Great Britain, the spruce lumber
market is reasonably active, as the ship-
ments to the United States, France, Aus-

tralia, and. the West Indies have been
rather above the average in quantity. A
number of vessels are under charter to
load for South America. Reports from
Quebec tell of a stronger market for square
and waney pine timber. There is still
some uncertainty as to the outcome of
the log drives in New Brunswick, infor-
mation received a few days ago going to
show that about 50,000,000 feet may be
hung up in the head-waters of the St.John.
Logs are changing hands at $9 per thous-
and feet. Clapboards are firmer, from
$31 to $32 being asked for extra quality
on Boston rate of freight.

UNITED STATES.

The white pine situation in the United
States is decidedly strong. The total
shipments of lumber from Minneapolis up
to June 1 of this yearwas 172,000,000 feet,
a gain of 16,000,000 feet over the same per-
iod one year ago. There are rumors that
the interior mill men in Wisconsin and
Minnesota will shortly make a further ad-
vance in the prices of some grades, which
continue scarce in spite of the heavy pro-
duction. A feature of strength has been
the action of the Chicago lumber trade in
marking up prices. Common stock boards,
8, 10 and 12 in., were advanced 50 cents ;
No. 2 13 in. box boards one dollar; No. 2
A cedar shingles from $2.60 to $2.65 ; and
No. 1 and mixed lath to cents. At Sag-
inaw dry stock in large blocks is scarce
and dealers are anxious to purchase. Fine
common is about $1 higher per thousand
than one month ago. Buffalo and Tona-
wanda dealers report an exceptionally
good trade. There is a tendency to ad-
vance prices on the lower grades, includ-
ing 12 inch boards and No. 3 barn, of
which the stock is very light. In the east
building is progressing favorably, with a
strengthening effect on spruce. There is
little possibility that prices of this lumber

the implement manufacturers,| u* the move-
ment is still light.
provement, with maple and elm steady.
Basswood is being bought quite liberally,

Ash is showing an im-

Receipts of laths at eastern distributing
points have been on a larger scale of late,
but owing to its being almost entirely out
of the market, it will be some time before
it is plentiful again. Prices, however,
are not expected to further advance.
Shingles are strong and meet with ready
sale.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The quantity of timber which has ar-

rived in Great Britain since the opening of

the snipping season has been a surprise to

the trade. It was thought that the first-
open-water shipments would be very light,
but the quantity has been almost equal to
last year. Predictions are now made that
the summer receipts will show a marked
falling off, and it remains to be seen
whether this condition will be experienced.
It is quite certain that the market is not in a
position to receive heavy consignments of
lumber, but if shipments are limited it is
probable that the market will soon recover
lost ground, and the foundarion would be
laid for a large trade next year. Lumber
now arriving has mostly been purchased
at such a price as to make it almost im-
possible to dispose of it at a reasonable
profit. Importers in a position to do so
will no doubt hold the stock until there is
an improvement in the market. While at
London and Liverpool the stock of Quebec
lumber is heavy, the supply at Glasgow
and at some other ports is not excessive
nor more than is usual at this season of
the year. Spruce deals have shown no
improvement, sales being difficult to make.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

In the Saginaw Valley log run pine is
quoted at $18 to $24, box lumber at $16,
and mill culls at $12 and $12.50.

The Skillings, Whitney & Barnes Com-

land. It consisted of 500,000 feet of Nor
way deals. This is the fifth consignment
of lumber from Ashland to Canada this
year, and the first to be consigned directly
to England.

About 41,090 000 e oflogs s expect dto
be rafted from Ontario to Michigan this
season, the timber being cut on Indian

Last week Robert Aiken had 10,000,000
feet of logs out of the Aroostook river into
the corporation limits above Grand Falls,
N. B., but the water was low and the logs
are in danger of being hung up.

The drives owned by S. H. DeCew
and J. A Lindsay, of Fenelon Falls, Ont.,
which were hung upon Union Creek, a
tributary of the Burnt river, are now mov-
ing, recent rains having been of great
benefit.

Following is a comparative statement
for three years of the timber, etc., mea-
sured and culled at the port of Quebec, up
to June 11th, as reported by the Super-
visor of Cullers :

Of the Barbadoes lumber market

Messrs. S.P. Musson, Son & Company
say: The arrivals of white pine and
spruce have been the ‘Bravo’, from
Lunenburg, N.S., with 140,000 feet spruce ;
Jessie L. Smith, from Bridgewater, N.S.,
with 15,000 feet shipping and 16,000 feet
second quality white pine, 47,000 feet
shipping spruce, 8,000 feet dressed boards,
and 21,000 feet scantling ; and the Arctic,
from Bridgewater, N.S., with 7,000 feet
shipping and 20,000 feet second quality
white pine, 20,000 feet shipping and 8,000
feet second quality spruce, and 48,000
feet scantling. The cargo of the Bravo
was placed at $17.50, and that of the
Arctic at $25.75 for shipping and $20 for
second quality white pine, $17.05 for ship-
ping and $13 second quality spruce, and
$13 for shipping and $11 for second quality
scantling. White pine is wanted and
would bring fair prices, but there is an
ample supply of spruce.

THE BOSTON MARKET.

The spruce lumber market in Boston is
very firm. Orders are reported that can-
not be filled from yard stock, and few mills
are sawing. It is understood that at Ban-
gor, Me., some of the mills have run out of
logs, a feature alone which is sufficient to
keep the market strong. The demand for
lumber is light, but the supply is unusually
small. The quotations are: 1o and 12inch
dimensions, $18 to $19.50; 9 inch and
under, $17 to $18; 10 and 12 inch random
lengths, to ft. and up, $17.50 to $18.50; 2x3
to 2x7, and 3x4, 10 feet and up, $15 to $16;
all other randoms, 9 inch and under, to
feet and up, $15.50 to $17; 5 inch and up
merchantable boards, $15 to $16; matched
boards, $17 to $18; out spruce boards,
$12.50; bundle furring, $14.

The market for hemlock lumber holds
firm, with extremely small offerings, and
western pine is very strong. One inch
uppers are quoted at $58 to $62; 13{ to 2
inch, $63 to $64 : fine common, I to 3 inch,
$45 to $60; sheathings, $38 to $54; barn
boards, $25 to $30 ; coffin boards, $23 to
$25.

Shingles are very firm; while the demand
is not active, some sellers find difficulty in
filling orders. Considerable trouble has
been experienced with the New Brunswick
manufacturers in securing their logs, and

t

the supply is likely to be small: Extra
cedar, $2.85 to $2.90; clear, $2.60; sec-
ond clear, $2 to $2.25; clear sap, $2 to
$2.25 ; No. 1, $1.60 to $1.75;
Washington and British Columbia, 16-inch,
five butts to two inches, $3.15 to $3.25.

Clapboards hold firm, with some sellers
asking as high as $32 for extra: Extra
spruce, $30 to $32; clear $28 to$29; sec-
ond clear, $25 to $26; pine, extra, $36 to
$38 ; clear, $36 to $37; second clear, $28
to $30 ; California redwood, clear, $42.50
to $45 ; second grade, $40 to $42.

Laths show a little more firmness. The
quotations are: 15g inch, $2.85 to $2.90;
1¥% inch, $2.70 to $285.

A fire broke out in the lumber yard of
the Conger Lumber Company at Parry
Sonnd, on June 6th, destroying the docks,
tramways and several million feet of lum-
ber. The greater part of the lumber was
owned by the Skillings, Whltney & Barnes
Company, of Ogdensburg, N. Y. The loss
is estimated at $80,000.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.

< ONTARIO,

Orders for white pine lumber show
no falling off, dealers and consumers
apparently having entered the market
with a determination to fully replen-
ish troken stocks. Although some of
the new cut is in shipping condition,
this has had no preceptible effect up-
on prices, which continue firm, while
one or two of the higher grades ex-
hibit indications of an early advance.
There is little probability that lower
prices will rule for pine lumter for
some months to come, and if the
present favorable conditions continue,
lower prices need not be expected this
year. Georgian Bay manufacturers
report many inquiries for stock for
shipment to Michigan. The disas-
trous fire at French river has taken
out of the market about 15,000,000
feet of pine, a circumstance which
cannot be ignored. In the city of
Ottawa the strike of carpenters has
given a set-back to the lumber trade,
but negotiations are now vnder way
which are likely to result ‘n an early
settlement of the difficulties. The lath
market continues strong. The pres-
ent prices, although not as high as
those which ruled «two vears ago,
should stimulate production this year,
and the supply will doubtless be-
come greater as the season adva, ces.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Considering that the foreign demand
for lumber is exceptionally dull,
the shipments so far this season from
Quebec have made a favorable show-
ing. During the past month one firm
has shipped from Montreal 30,000,000

No. 21

feet of lumber. The best grades of
pine and spruce deals are in demand,
but the production of the Maritime
Provinces, which is of a lower grade,
is moving slowly. An average quan-
tity of clapboards, laths and cedar
shingles are being shipped to the
Mastern States. Some of the small
manufacturers are still cutting the
price of shingles, and sales have been
made at $2.80 for extras on Boston
rate of freight, but the average quo-
tation is about $2.90, and $2.60 for
clears. Recent rains have improved
the outlook for the drives, but all
the danger is not yet past.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Recent rains througho1t Manitoba
and the ‘Territories have imyroved
the crop outlook and the lumber
trade in sympathy. Building is par-
ticularly brisk in Winnipeg, the
amount of work under way being
much greater than at the same time
last year. Indications point to a
good demand for lumber throughout
the summer and fall. British Col-
umbia manufacturers report a moder-
ate demand for lumber and shingles,
although so far this spring the quan-
tity of shingles disposed of in Mani-

toba and the Territories has - been
below tle average. The demand
from Ontario has been fairly good.

Recent lumber charters would seem
to indicate an improvement in the
export trade.
UNITED STATES.
The crop reports issued by the Un-
ited States Government have been of

the most encouraging nature, and
have assisted in maintaining the
strength of the lumber market. The

developments of the past week have
been along the line of further im-
provement ; the demand is increasing;
lumber of last year’s cut is decided-
ly scarce. Statistics compiled by the
secretary of the Mississippi Valley
\Lumbermen’s Association show that
the shipments of northern pine lum-
ber during the month of May were
21 per cent. greater than the ship-
ments of the corresponding month
one year ago. Buffalo, Tonawanda
and other distributing centres report
heavy shipments to the Eastern
States. Some of the lower grades of
pine were recently advanced in price,
which advance is being maintained
and likely to prevail for some time.
The Ashland Tumber Company, of
Ashland, Wis., recently sold 1,500,000
feét of white pine to eastern parties,
for immediate shipment, and it is

said that part of the lumber brought
a higher price than the company had
ever received for the same grade here-
tofore. The new list of the Chicago
lumber dealers went into effect on
June 3rd. It makes an advance of
50 cents on stock boards and siding,
and one dollar on box boards. These
facts clearly indicate the trend of the
white pine market. In spruce the
position seems equally strong, one

-of the main factors of strength being

the hanging up of the east branch
drive on the Penobscot river and the
consequent shutting down cf a num-
ber of mills at Bangor. Hardwoods
are selling a ‘ittle more freely. A
scarcity of dry basswood is apncunc-
ed in many directions, as very little
of the new cut is yet in shipping cun-
dition. The manufacturers cf M:chi-
gan maple are cudeavoring 10 unify
their interests and prices of this lum-
ber may be hen-fitted thereby. At
present culls are selling at from $5
to $7 at the mill, common at $10
to $12, and firsts and seconds at $15
to $17. Stocks of shingles and lath
do not seem 1 accumulate, and the
market is firm. —
GREAT BRITAIN.

In giving a correct impression of
the position of the British timber
market, it cannot be stated that there
has been any visible improvement ; in
fact, the likelihood of an improve-
ment seems more remote than ever.
Timber brokers and merchaats are ad-
vising shippers to exércise the utmost
precaution in making consignments, so
as to give the market an opportunity
#o recover.. The chief reason of the
depression is the large stock held at
most of the leading ports. The re-
turns of the Surrey Commercial Docks,
London, show that the stock of deals
is 1,000,000 pieces_greater than at the
corresponding date one year ago ; in
other words, the present supply is
sufficient for nearly four months,
whereas the average supply is about
two months. Elsewhere are given
figures showing the stock of foreign
and Colonial deals at the public docks
in London on May 31st for two years,
which tell their own story. While
prices of pine deals have held firm,
the buying has been limited. Spruce
prices have continued to decline, ex-
cepting first quality 3x9 and 11 inch,
12 feet and up, the supply of which is
light. Quebec pine deals of first qual-
ity are quoted at $24 5s to £29 15s
per std, a decline of ros as compared
with one month ago. ‘There has been

If.

a similar decline in other grades and
a drop of 15s in third quality New
Brunswick spruce. Quelec square
and waney timber is inquired for, and
prices show a tendency to stiffen.
Ash has been imported quite largely
from the United States.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

Warren Copp has cut 800,000 feet of
lumber in Pictou county for Rood &
McGregor, of New Glasgow, N.S.

Saginaw valley manufacturers have
advanced the price of shingles Io and
15 cents per thousand. At Minneap-
olis white and red cedars have been
advanced about 5 cents.

Quotations of cooperage stock at
Buffalo are as follows: No. 1 dry
elm flour barrel staves, $7.50 to $7,-
75; No. 2, $4.75 to $5; basswood
heading, 5 3-4 to 6 cents; No. 2, 4 to
4 1-4 cents ; coiled hoops, 6 ft., $7.50
to $7.75 ; 5 1-2 it., $4 to $4.50.

The following are the quotations
adopted by the Chicago lumber deal-
ers for shingles and laths in carload
lots: Extra pine shingles, $2.75;
standard pine, $2.25; clear pine, $3 ;
clear cedar, $7.85; extra cedar, $2.65;
standard tedar, $2.10; white pine
lath, $2.60 ; mixed dry, $3.10; No. 2,
$2.75. In the Lake Superior district
green or partially dry lath is selling
at $3.25 to $3.35 or No.1 white pine.

Of the London market for Canadian
timber Messrs. Denny, Mott & Dick-
son say: There has been little feat-
ure in this market. Waney pine, oak
and elm have all been little enquired
for; but the small supplies on hand
and largely increased cost of next sea-
son’s supplies cause prices to continue
to stiffen, as it seems indisputable
that a vert modest demand for the
the rest of the year would more than
exhaust the possible supply.

Messrs. Churéhill & Sim furnish the
following statement of timber, deals,
etc., at the public docks in London,
on May 3ist:

er,’’ from Shelburne, N.S., with
white pine, which was placed a€ $25.-
75 and $20.07 for shipping and second
quality respectively, there has been no
arrival of consequence. A small lot
of 10,000 feet has been sold at $23.65
as it run. The market is virtually
bare, and first receipts will do well,
although one or two cargoes have
been contracted for at $24 and $19
customary delivery. In spruce the
“KF, B. Wade’’ arrived on the 29th
ultimo, from West Dublin, with a lot
of 22,000 feet, which was sent in ves-
sel to Trinidad, and on the 30th the
‘J. K. Dawson’’ arrived from same
port to our address with 250,000 feet.
The crop being so nearly over, and
dealers Leing unwilling in the present
position to carry much stock, the
ost we could obtain was $17.05 and
$13.05 for shipping and second quality
respectively ; and we doutt if next re-
ceipts will bring these.priges.

By the recent fire in the Conger
Lumber Company’s yard at Parry
Sound, Ont., Haines & Company, of
Buffalo, lost 1,000,000 lath, and the
Saginaw Lumber & Salt Company
about $2,000 worth of lumber. ‘The
heaviest losers were the Skillings,
Whitneys & Barnes Company.

FIRES

The saw _ mill situated at Por,
Arthur, Ont., owned by Seaman &
Company, was last week destroyed by
fire.

The saw mill of R. M. Sully at
Venosta, Ont., was burned a few days
ago.

Fire was discovered in the lumber
yard of the Sumner Company at Bath-
urst, N.B., on the 16th inst. The
mills were saved, but lumber to the
value of nearly $60,000 was destroyed.

Practically all the lumber in the
yards of the Ontario Lumber Com-
pany at French river, Ont., was de-
stroyed by fire on the 16th inst. The
lumber, about 15,000,000 ft., was own-
ed by the Ontario Lumber Co., and
represented nearly an entire season’s
cut- It is understood that the loss
is largely covered by insurance. The
saw mill and other buildings were
saved.

THE LIVERPOOL MARKET.

The following review of the Liver-
pool market is given by Farnworth
& Jardine: The business of the past
month has been unsatisfactory. The
arrivals have not been unduly large,
and the deliveries have been fair, but
buyers lack confidence, and a serious
decline in sonie of the leading articles
has taken place. Stocks generally for
the season of the year are on the

Ottawa River | App

heavy side, and ‘shippers should act
with caution by consigning moderate-
y

CANADIAN WOODS.—Waney Pine.
—Of Waney there have been no ar-
rivals, the stock is reduced ‘to a mod-
erate compass, and values are firm.
For square there has been only a lim-
ited demand, and the stock is suffi-
cient. Red Pine.—The demand is
slow; stocks are ample. Oak.—
There has been no import; the de-
mand is quiet, but the stock of Ist
quality wood is fairly moderate.
Klm.—The demand has been disap-
pointing, and the stock for the sea-
son of the year is too heavy. Ash.—
The import chiefly consists of ship-
ments from the United States, which
have been on a large scale ; there has
been a fair demand, but sales are dif-
ficult to effect, and stocks are increas-
ing. Pine Deats.—The arrivals have
been considerably in excess of the cor-
responding month ast year ; the de-
liveries have been unsatisfactory, but
there is little change in value to re-
port; thestock is too large. Red
Pine Deals continue in fair demand,
but prices are easier.

NEW BRUNSWICK AND NOVA
SCOTIA SPRUCE AND PINE DEALS
—The arrivals during the past month
have been large, viz., 4,280 standards,
against 1,520 standards during the
the corresponding month last year.
The deliveries have been fairly satis-
factory, but the stock is much too
heavy ; ;sales are difficult to effect,
and there has been a sharp decline in
value ; it is very desirable that ship-
pers should act with caution in ccn-
sighing moderately until our markets
are more settled. Pine deals con-
tinue in fair demand; prices are
steady ; stocks are light.

JUNE 19, 1901

BIRCH.—Of logs, chiefly from Que-
bec, the arrivals have been small ;
there has been a fair consumption,
but the stock is sufficient,; there is
little change in value ‘to report.
Planks have again come forward too
freely, and although the deliveries
lave been fairly satisfactory, the
stock is much too heavy, and recent
sales have only been effected at very
low prices.

chased from F. W. Gilchrist, H. D.

ber limit in Ontario, comprising
three-quarters of Foster township, on
the Spanish river, in the Algoma dis-
trict. It was formerly owned by A.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

While the rush of spring shipments from
the pine mills is about over, and orders are
placed with less urgency for immediate at-
tention, the market has lost none of the
strength which has been characteristic of
this season’s trade. Dry pine lumber is
bringing as much money as two months
ago, and the best grades are, if anything,
a shade higher, The chief source of
strength is, of course, the healthy condi-
tion of the United States market, which
seems to be absorbing lumber in a remark-
able manner. Locally, the demand is about
what was expected, although a little dis-
appointing in some respects. Building in
Toronto has not kept up to the expecta-
tions of the spring. Shingles have shown
an improvement within the past fortnight,
while laths are not as strong as they were.
With the exception of basswood, hard
woods are selling rather slowly, but with
a firm undertone.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The spruce situation in the eastern pro™
vinces is practically unchanged. British
deals are in little demand and low in
price, while specifications suitable for
South America, West Indies and France
command a correspondingly higher figure.
Another vessel has been chartered to take
a cargo of lumber from St. John to
Australia. Shipments to the United
States show activity, particularly in
laths and shingles. Clapboards are scarce
and firm. There is still uncertainty as to
the outcome of the log drives, a recent
dispatch stating that there is no probabil-
ity of getting the logs down the Aroostook
river, in New Brunswick, while on the St.
John and other streams some drives have
not yet reached safe waters. Ifthe or-
dinary rains prevail during the next week
or two, it is probable that very few logs
will be hung up on the St. John and tribu-
taries.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

An encouraging report comes to hand
regarding the lumber trade of Manitoba.
The crop outlook being of the brightest
character, farmers are buying lumber quite
freely in order to build barns, and after the
grain has been marketed and money be-

comes easier, other improvements are

certain to be carried out. Building opera-
tions in Winnipeg continue to expand, and
throughout the country considerable rail-
way construction is in progress. The
next few months are likely to witness an
active demand for lumber. British Col-
umbia trade is said to be rather quiet, the
export demand being below the mark,
Freight rates are lower, with a greater
number of vessels offering than has been

the case for some time.
UNITED STATES.

There is a heavy trade doing in white
pine lumber, and dry stocks are except-
tionally low for this season of the year.
Manufacturers in the Lake Superior dis-
trict are talking of an advance in the
price of good lumber and piece stuff, the
demand for which is in excess of the
supply. The opinion is gaining ground
that there will be no break in prices this
summer. Theonlyclasses ofstock whichis
unsteady are box lumber and No, 4 boards,
and if an adjustment of prices should take
place in the near future, it is probable
that these grades will be marked down
slightly, whilethe general list is likely tobe
advanced. Good lumber is scarce. The
white pine dealers of Buffalo and Tona-
wanda held a meeting last week, at which
the opinion was expressed that prices on
all grades that are scarce should be ad-
vanced materially, but no rate was decided
upon. In Chicago, first and second clear
pine, 1 to 2 inches in width, is selling at
$61, and third clearat $58. Dimension is
based on $14.50 for 12, 15 and 16 feet piece
stuff, with $15 for 2x8 and 2x10, and $17
to$18for2xt2. No. 1 white pinelath is sell-
ing at $3.60 wholesale, and No. 2 at $2.75.

An increase in the demand for the
lower grades of hardwoods represents the
only change in that market. Dealers are
not forcing sales, believing that all the
bardwood lumber manufactured should
find a market at prices equal to and above
those now ruling. The agricultural fac-
tories are not buying much ash, but are
replacing it to some extent by basswood.
At Buffalo higher prices are being asked
for shingles, red celars leading. It is
worthy of note that the red cedar people

not long ago sold their shingles very low, °

apparently to encourages a market ; now
they are asking prices higher than those
of pine shingles.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The British timber market is in a demo-
ralized condition. The first-open-water
shipments have now been landed, and im-
porters refuse to contract for further sup-
plies, The stock of wood goods is ex-

ceptionally large, and in the absence of
more than a moderate consumption, prices
have further declined within the past fort-
night. The prices of scantlings and floor-
ing are very irregular, one sale varying
from another by as much as £1 5s per
standard. At the late auction sales the
weakness of the market has been further
emphasized. Spruce battens, 2x7 second
quality, did not exceed £7 Ios, and 2x5
£6. For the regular deal sizes from Que-
bec the market in both pine and spruce is
holding up well, considering the sharp
break in the prices ofnorth of Europe
‘timber. The poorer qualities from the
provinces are very weak and in little de-
mand. Concerning spruce the Timber
News says: “ Without any wish totakea
pessimistic view, we are of the opinion
that when the consignment goods begin to
arrive, the prices of second and third
quality spruce 3x9, and certainly those
for 3x7, will come downsomewhat. The
prices for sawn plasterer’s laths, likewise
birch putlogs, are, we think, nearly at
their lowest ebb.” Whether prices will
revive towards the fall is an uncertain
question, but if the summer shipments
should be light, an improvement in the
market seems likely. The Beard of Trade
returns show that the imports into the
United Kingdom up to May 31st of this
year were 1,019,285 loads of hewn timber,
and 2,142,656 loads of sawn timber, as
against 944,590 loads and 1,842,126 loads
respectively for the corresponding period
last year.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

Prices of hemlock inthe Saginaw Valley
range from $7to $11. There is a better
inquiry than earlier in the season, and dry
stocks have been worked off to a consider-
able extent.

A quantity of Oregon pine from Che-
mainus, B. C., was put under the hammer
at a sale held by Churchill & Sim, London,
Eng., on June 12th. The stock was all
3x11 inch, and from 16 to 42 feet in length.
The first parcel sold at 412 5s per stand-
ard, but the balance only averaged £9 5s.

Alfred Dickie, of Lower Stewiacke, N.S.,
expects that his lumber shipments this year
will exceed those of any previous season.
He will ship 20,000,000 feet from Halifax,
20,000,000 feet from Tusket, 8,000,000 from
Ship Harbor, 8,000,000 feet from Musquo-
doboit Harbor, and 6,000,000 feet from
Liscombe, a total of 62,0004000 feet.

A raft containing 600,000 feet of long
timber left Black River, Lake Huron, last
week for Sarnia, consigned to the Cleve-
land Saw Mill & Lumber Company.
There is one more raft to make up, and
that will wind up long timber rafting at
Black River, a business that was inaugu-
rated by Alger, Smith & Company in 1882.

Following is a comparative statement
for three years of the timber, etc., meas-
ured and culled at the port of Quebec up
to June 25th, as reported by the Super-
visor of Callers :

New Brunswick cedar, as a shingle

square miles were disposed of, at prices
ranging from $t0o to $250 per mile. The
berths are located on the Nepisguit and Up-
salquich rivers, and are those which were
sold at auction a few weeks and bid in by the
applicants at the upset price. The sale was
cancelled by the Government on the ground
that a combine had been entered into by
certain lumbermen in order that they might
obtain control ofthe berths at a less figure
than they could be bought for under com-
petition. James Robinson M. P., got 45
square miles for $6,760, and Wm. Engel, of
Bangor, Me., 30 miles for $6,222. Following

ADJOURNED TIMBER SALE,

The adjourned sale of Quebec timber
limits was continued at the Parliament
buildings, Quebec, on June 26th, but the
attendance was not so large as on the pre-
vious occasion. The lots offered were in

case of the Bonaventure and Rimouski
lots, aud it seemed as if there was
a combination among the lumbermen
to buy nothing at the Government’s
upset prices. However, when the
Grandville agency was reached, 39%
miles in the township of Bungay was sold
to Mr. Rewington, of Watertown, N. oh
at $200 per mile, and another limit of 32
miles on the Jacques Cartier River, St.
Charles agency, went to Mr. Wm. Power,
at $81 per per mile. After going through
the list, which was mostly of lots held over
from the last sale, or not paid for then,
fifty-mile limit on the River Nouvelle, in
the West Bonaventure agency, was sold
to W. J. McKeen, at $3: per mile.
The sale in all realized about $50,000.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

The lumber transactions of the past
week have borne evidences of summer
quietude. Buying has been done by con-
sumers only where the stock was urgently
needed. Yet im the face of unfavorable
conditions, the market for pine is keeping
up in a remarkable way. While lower
prices are talked of by dealers, and might
reasonably be expected at this season of
the year, manufacturers refuse to yield
to any demand in this direction. A few of
the small manufacturers are no doubt
offering stock at prices under the spring
quotations, but this is the exception rather
than the rule, and their action is disre-
garded by the largest manufacturers who
make and rule the market. One of the
factors of strength is that many American
bnyers are in Ontario ready to close con-
tracts for large quantities oflumber. The
fact is that the prices asked by Canadian
pine manufacturers are lower than is
quoted at the mills in the Northern States,
and consequently buyers have turned their
attention to this side. In Toronto trade is
rather quiet and prices a little irregular.
A dealer who recently gave a quotation of
$18 for a quantity of 2x12 was advised by
the prospective customer that he was $1.50
higher than some of his competitors. The
average price is from $17 to $17.50. The
strike of carpenters in Ottawa has caused
a temporary falling off in the demand for
lumber and in supplies generally.

It is not possible to give a favorable
report of the hardwood market. The de-
mand continues dull, with stocks at many
of the mills comparatively heavy. Maple
1 to 2 inch in thickness is in fair demand,
but heavier stocks, such as 3 and 4 inch,
are little enquired for, Basswood and
birch are firm and moving moderately,
while soft elm is meeting with slow sale,
It can hardly be expected that the de-
mand will improve during July and
August, but a better demand is expected
in the fall. Inthe meantime there is the
danger that manufacturers will be com-
pelled to realize.

Lath prices are quite irregular. While
some mills are asking $2.50 for No. 1
white pine lath, purchases have been

Le

GPa 5 gee Bie as > Fido

made as low as $2. The tendency of the
market, however, is upwards, in sympathy
with the higher prices that are being
asked inthe United States.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,

There have been no fluctuations of con-
sequence in the Quebec lumber market,
our information being that prices are prac-
tically unchanged on square and waney
timber, while spruce deals are slightly
weaker. Some of the shippers are under-
stood to besending timber to the British
market on consignment. The reports re-
garding New Brunswick cedar shingles
are somewhat contradictory. While $3 is
being named by certain manufacturers as
the price of extras on Boston rate of
freight, other manufacturers are willing to
sell at $2.90. The weak holders, how-
ever, have no large quantity to offer, and
the market may be said to be in good con-
dition. <A few of the log drives have been
abandoned owing to low water in the
streams, and the cut ofspruce is likely to
be curtailed as a result thereof.

UNITED STATES.

The general lumber market of the United
States is strong, with white pine leading.
Dry stock is taken as fast as offered, and
in some instances the sales of the past
week have been made at an advance over
the late ruling quotations. White pine
dimension is in short supply in the Lake
Superior district, and a meeting of the
price list committee of the Mississippi and
Wisconsin Valley Associations will be held
early this month for the purpose of revis-
ing the prices of dimension and heavy tim-
ber. ~The manufacturers of the Wisconsin
valley are already asking an advance of
fifty cents a thousand on dimensions and
twenty-five cents on large timber. In the
Saginaw valley trade is good and prices
firm. In our Bay City and Saginaw list
the price of pine common has been mark-
ed up $2 per thousand, as the stocks are
badly broken and receipts not sufficient to
meetthe demand. Norway lumber is par-
ticularly strong. At Buffalo Norway is
scarcer than white pine, and the supply at
the mills is understood to be light. It is
probable that the season will be an ex-
ceptionally good one for Norway pine.
The higher grades of pine are scarce in
the Buffalo and Tonawanda markets, but
the demand from the east has fallen off
slightly ; in fact, the eastern trade has
been spasmodic all season. The spruce

market is less active than it has been, but
the condition of the supply is not such as is
likely to cause any slump. Of the hard-
woods basswood and ash are probably in
most demand, the latter having come into
Elm and thick maple

prominence of late.

sell fairly well, but there is no Snap to the
market. An advance in the price of lath
is talked of. The price at the mill is from
$2.50 to $2.75 for No. 1 white pine, and
$1.75 for No. 2. In Chicago No. 1 mixed
lath is quoted at $2.75 and No. 2 at $2.25.
In Philadelphia lath are particularly scarce,
three cargoes of New Brunswick manu-
facture which arrived there recently being
soon disposed of. The supply of white
pine shingles is so small that hemlock and
other substitutes are being used.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The outlook for the timber trade in
Great Britain has not improved during the
past fortnight. While the consumption by
some branches has increased, there has
been no recovery of prices, the recent
sales representing new figures for this
season. Importers who contracted at the
higher prices ruling in the early spring
are holding their stock, and as no buying
of cargoes to arrive is being done, business
is practically at a stand still. The prices
of Canadian deals and timber are holding
up better than those of the north of Europe
production. The price of second quality
Quebec spruce landed in the docks at Lon-
don is £10 per standards, whilst third
quality is selling at £9 5s. Cargoes of
St. John spruce, with an ordinary specifi-
cation, say 10 per cent. of 3x11, can be
bought at £6 6s c.i.f. Liverpool, while
twelve months ago similar cargoes were
sold at £7 15s. The market for square
and waney timber is stronger than for
deals and boards, although by no means
buoyant. We believe it will be found in
the interest of exporters on this side to
curtail shipments as much as possible, and
give the market an opportunity to recover.

STOCKS AND PRICES,
Thomas Mackie, of Pembroke, Ont.,
has recently purchased fine timber limits
in the vicinity of Saskatchewan, N.W.T.

Sales of hemlock piece stuff are being
made in Chicago around $9.25, although
a few transactions are reported at slight-
ly lower figures.

The steamer Lycia, which is loading a
genera) cargo at Montreal for Bristol,
Eng., took on 250 standards of deals at
Three Rivers, Que.

Moore & MacDonald, of Blind River,
Ont., have all their logs boomed. The
mill at John’s Island will cut 4,000,000
feet, and a like quantity will be cut at
Cutler.

A recent despatch from Whitefish River
states that of the 240,000 logs cut on berth
82, the greater quantity are through the
slides. Inall about 35,000,000 feet of pine

ie.

logs will come out of the Whitefish River
and tributaries this season.

In New York city $58 to $62 is being
asked for quartered oak, $36 to $40 for
plain oak, and $37 to $41 for ash. There
isan improvementin that cityinthe demand
for hemlock, at the base price of $14.50.

In Tonawanda the base price is $13.50.

Owing to a flood on the St. Francis
river, a large boom of logs belonging to
the Royal Paper Mills Company, of East
Angus, Que., was carried over the dam.
It is estimated that 12,000,000 feet got
away, but most of the logs have been se-
cured at Pierreville, where the company
have arranged to have them sawn.

the market at
Buffalo the American _Lumberman says:
“Old dealers are often without any stock
of account, and are not looking for a
supply, for they do not know what to do.
They say that the price of red cedars
has gone up so that they do not see how
consumers will buy them, and still there
is not much yet to take their place.
This market has of late come to depend
on them more, and now, when it appears
that something else is needed to substitute
for them, nobody knows which way to
turn. It is not thought that cypress could
be sold cheap enough and nobody wants
hemlock. Still if pine shingles do not
come in faster something will have to be
done.”

THE BOSTON MARKET.

The spruce lumber position is still very
firm, with logs generally scarce. A good
many mills are stopped for want of logs,
and some must remain so for some time,
or till some rise of water brings down the
logs. Meantime, the market shows little
change, with prices firm. The demand is
in the midst of the hot weather quiet: Ten
and 12-inch dimensions, $18 to $19.50; 9
in. and under, $17 to $18; 10 and 12 in.
random lengths, 10 ft. and up, $17.50 to
$18.50 ; 2X3, 2X4, 2X5, 2x6, 2x7 and 3x4,
10 ft. and up, $15 to $16; all other ran-
doms, g in. and under, to ft. and up, $15.50
to $17; 5 in. and up, merchantable boards,
$15 to $17; matched boards, $17 to $18;
out spruce boards, $12.50; bundle furring,
$14.

Hemlock remains scarce and, firmwith
very little change : Eastern boards, $15 to
$16; random, $13 to $14.

Western pine shippers still talk of high
prices, and say that the position is very
strong. Here the market is quiet, with
prices firm: Uppers, 1 in., $58 to $62;
13{ to 2 in., $63 to $64; 3 and 4 in., $68 to
$72; selects, 1 to 4 in., $52 to $64; fine
common, 1 to 3in. $45 to$60; sheathings,
$38 to $54; barn boards, $25 to 3o ; coffin
boards, $23 to $25.

Hardwoods continue in moderate request.
House finishing is not active, and the call
for finishing hardwoods is limited. Still
prices are well held: Quartered oak, $65
to $75; fancy, $85 to $90; plain oak, $35
to $45; ash, $38 to $45; cherry, $90 to
$130; maple, $30 to $40.

Shingles area little firmer. The sellers
of cheap shingles are pretty well sold out,
and the trade is in the hands of better
holders. Still the demand is rather limited:
Extra, $2.85 to $2.90; clear, $2.60 to
$2.65; second clear, $2 to $2.25 ; sap, $2
to $2.25; extra No. 1, $1.60 to $1.75 3
British Columbia, 16 in., five butts to 2 ins.,
$3.15 to $3.35-

Clapboards continue firm, because
scarce. Thedemand is small, but buyers
have to pay full prices: Extra spruce,
$30 to $32; clear, $28 to $30; second
clear, $26 to $28; extra No. 1, $18 to
$20 ; pine, extra, $36 to $38; clear, $36
to $37 ; second clear, $28 to $30.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS
"7 ONTARIO.
The demand forlumber is keeping up well.
One of the largest manufacturers in the
Ottawa'valley reports that shipments «so

: “fat this season.have been fifty per cent.

greater than for the corresponding period

Give* full} particulars, size, of 1g00. Local trade has not been alto-

gether satisfactory, owing to the strike of
carpenters; but this, itis- thought, is now
nearing an end, and building is now likely
co be quite brisk for the balance of the
season. The better grades of white pine
have been much inquired for and are firm
in price, most of the mills being completely
sold out of these grades. The mills in the
Georgian Bay district are busy. with ship-
( ments to Michigan and the eastern states,
and are doing a very satisfactory home
trade. The new cut that has been placed

‘-upon the market has had no material

effect as yet upon prices, and it is doubtful
whether any recession of consequence will
take place this year, as the unsold stock
seems to be in strong hands. The large
--manufacturers seem to be a unit as to
the desirability of keeping up prices. In
, hardwoods the situation is different, and
there is not the unanimity which charac-
ferizes the pine trade, In the absence of

x ~ +t +4 ts

an improvement in the demand, manufact-
urers have become a little discourged, and
some are willing to reduce their asking
price in order to effect sales. Basswood
leads, with the thinner grades of maple
following. There has been an active de-
mand for hemlock and pine and cedar
shingles. The supply of pine shingles is
light and the quantity manufactured this
season is not likely to be as large as usual.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Nothwithstanding the depression in the
British lumber market, shipments from the
St. Lawrence continue quite heavy, partly
on consignment. It is much to be desired
that shippers on this side reduce their
shipments as much as possible, thus giving
the British market an opportunity to
recover. Manvfacturers of spruce deals
in the eastern provinces report very few
sales of British specifications, and it is
probable that a large proportion of this
season’s cut will be carried over until next
spring. This will have the effect of rest-
ricting the operations in the woods during
the coming winter, a condition much to be
desired, Clapboards and spruce lumber
generally s meeting with a moderate de-
mand for shipment to the United States.
The white cedar shingle market is easier
and irregular. Sales of extras have been
made at $2.95 on Boston rate of freight,
while some of the smaller manufacturers
are making quotations as low as $2.85.
It is probable, however, that -white cedar
shingles will stiffen in price in sympathy
with the higher prices ruling for red
cedars.

UNITED STATES.

_ Further features of strength in “the _

lumber market of the United States have
developed. The expected action of the
Mississippi and Wisconsin Valley Lumber
Associations was taken last week, when

advances in thé price of certain grades

were made, to take effect July 5th. Ten
and 12 inch No. 1 and 2 boards were.ad-
vanced 50 cents a thousand, piece stuff
and timber 50 cents, and finishing lumber
$1. The resolution in favoro these ad-
vances was passed unanimously. The
Statement of shipments. of lumber from
Minneapolis shows that the first six
months of this year there was an increase
of ten percent. over the same period in
1900, and that they are close to the re-
cord year of 1899. The market in the
Lake Superior district is unusually strong,
and seems likely to continue’ so, through-
out the season. . Building operations in
the leading cities are on the increase, and

. the demand for doors and mill work is
almost unprecedented for this season of ©

the year, The lower grades of piney.

- talked of.

known as No.4 and 5 boards, do not
exhibit as much strength as the higher
grades and piece stuff, which are in short
supply generally, and particularly in the
eastern states. The Albany price list this
week shows an advance of about two
dollars per thousand on uppers, selects,
and fine common. At Buffalo and Tona-
wanda prices are reported to be firm, and
in a position to be easily advanced as
soon as prices are marked up at the
western mills. The spruce situation has
not changed, excepting that log: driyes
thought to be hung up have come out,
and most of the mills are likely to have a
full supply for the season. The association
price list is being maintained. Holders
of hardwood lumber are anxious to dis-
pose of their stocks, and as the demand is
quiet, the market exhibits a slight degree
of weakness. Quite heavy shipments of
basswood and maple have been made
from Tonawanda, where there is a feeling
that a change forthe better has taken
place in the hardwood trade. This view,
however, is not borne out by reports from
other-points, and .a quiet trade for the
next month or six weeks at least is looked
for. Shingles of every variety are firm,
with light offerings.

GREAF BRITAIN.

The British market as yet shows no
sign of improvement ; indeed fears are
expressed that the decline in prices has
not yet reached the lowest limit. A
‘‘ scare” seems to have taken possession
of everybody, and the prevailing un-
certainty as to what direction prices may
take-has naturally induced a_ feeling of

“extreme caution on the part of buyers.

The stocks on hand are considerable and
the demand light. Shipments from this

* side should therefore be curtailed as far

as possible, thus relieving the depression

.in the British market, by allowing time

for stocks now on hand to pass into con-
A com-
bination of west of England timber firms
to restrict competition in buying is being
As yet the decline in values
has not affected credits in Great Britain.
It is hoped that importers will be able to
hold out until the recovery of the market
which will probably take place at the
latest next spring.

The spruce market is reported to be in
a wavering condition, but prices for floor-
ing: are well maintained. There is Said to
be a revival of demand from Germany,
which, if, Sufficiently ; strong, will attract
shipments which would otherwise ‘go to
Great Britain and thereby assist in ree
storing values in the latter market,

FOREIGN MARKETS.

Messrs. S. P. Musson & Co., of Barba-
does, in their trade circular of June 22nd,
say regarding lumber: The only arrivals
to note in this line are, the ‘‘ Herbert Rice”
from Meteghan, with 148,000 ft. spruce;
which was placed at $16.87 shipping,
$12.87 2nd quality. Next receipts will,
we fear, have to accept lower prices, sea-
sonbeing over. In White Pine, the ‘Harry
Troop” has arrived from Jordan River
with 218,000 ft. Thisis one of the car-
goes referred to in ourJast.as sold to ar-
rive at $24 and $19 for first and second
quality respectively. Pitch Pine—Nothing
new to report. _Shingles—We can only
confirm our last advices, and mention that
two or three cargoes are reported on the
way. Staves — Nothing to advise.

Shooks—The S. S. ‘‘Navigator” brought
600 bdls. for importers account. Hoops—
Lotting rates unchanged—season over.

The announcement is made that if the
Bristol Docks Bill, now before the British
Parliament, is approved, a large enter-
prise looking to the development of trade
between Bristol, Canada, Jamaica and
the United States will be established.

Messrs. Foy, Morgan & Co. will sell by
auction at Hull, Eng., on the 16th inst., a
parcel of Canadian doors.

THE BOSTON MARKET.

There is a very good demand for spruce
lumber, and the market is fully as firm as
previously noted. The only weak spot is on
matched spruce boards, which are some-
what weaker owing to an oversupply.
Prices are firmly held at: Ten and 12 in,
dimensions, $18 to 19.50; g-in. and under,
$17 to 18; 10 and 12 inch random lengths,
10 feet and up, $17.50 to 18.50; 2x3, 2x4,
2x5, 2x6, 2x7 and 3x4, 10 feet and up, $15
to 16; all other randoms, g-in. and under,
10 feet and up, $15.50 to 17; 5-in. and up,
merchantable boards, $15 to 17; matched
boards, $16 to 17; out spruce boards,
$12.50; bundle furring, $14.

Hemlock remains firm and unchanged :

Pennsylvania, No. 1, $16 to 17; No. 2, $4

to 15; eastern Pennsylvania boards, $15 to
16; random, $13 to $14. ee

The situation in western pine is un-
changed, shippers being very firm. Here
the market is quiet, with prices firm:
Uppers, 1 in., $58 to 62; 13f to2in., $63
to 64; 3 and 4 in., $68 to 72; selects, 1 to
4 in., $52 to 64; fine common, 1 to 3 in.,
$45 to 60; sheathings, $38 to 54; barn

boards, $25 to 30; coffin boards, $23 to 25...

Shingles are easy. The demand is
rather limited: Extra, $2.80 to 2.90;
clear, $2.60 to 2.65;
2.30; sap, $2.10 to 2.25; extra. No. gy
$1:65 to $r.75; British “Columbia, 16-in.,
five butts to 2 in., $3.15 to $3.35
..Clapboards continue firm and scarce.
Quotations. are fully sustained: Extra
spruce, $30 to 32; clear, $28 to 30; second
clear, $26 to 28; extra No. 1, $18 to 20;
pine, extra, $36 to 38; clear, $36 to 37;
second clear, $28 to go.

The National Lumber Exporter’s Associ-

action against the Atlantic Trasspor
Steamship Line for having refused to give

a clean bill of lading on a shipment of

hardwood Jumber consigned by Samuel A.
Bennett to Messrs. Leary & Co., of Lon-
on. This action is brought to secure an
interpretation by the Courts of the Act of
Congress, known as the ‘“‘ Harter Act,”
which provides as follows :—‘“‘ Section 4:
That it shall be the duty ofthe owner . .
to issue.to shippers . . a bill of lading
or shipping document stating, among
other things, the marks necessary tor. id-
entification, number of packages or quan-
tity ; stating whether it be carrier’s or
shipper’'s receipt . . and such docu-
ment shall be prima facie, evidence of the
receipt of the merchandise therein des-
cribed.” ‘‘Section 5: That tora viola-
tion of any of the provisions of this Act
the . . owner who refuses to issue, on

demand, the bill of lading herein provided —

for shall be liable toa fine not exceeding
Two Thousand Dollars.” .

per cent. less than last year, and the

81.3, which is the lowest for
many years. This with the depletion
in bank reserves, and the great strikes
of workingmen, naturally tends to
unsettle somewhat the exceptionally
favorable conditions which have late-

ever, is the fact that the harvest of
wheat and other agricultural products
promises to be more than ordinarily
abundant. Already a shortage of cars
is being felt, and there is in conse-

report comes from Minneapolis that
the recent advance in prices of white
pine by the price list committee has
resulted in unusual activity in that

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS
ON: ARIO,

The unanimity of manufacturers is
doing much to keep the white pine
lumber market firm. Here and there
weak spots are to be found, but the
action of the large manufacturers in
refusing to yield to any demand for
lower prices has made it almost im-
possible for the market generally to
weaken. Purchases of lumber have
been made in exceptional cases at re-
duced prices, the reason for which has
been the necessity of the holder to
realize rather than a fear that a high-
er price could not: be obtained if he
were to hold on until later in the
By comparison, it seems that
prices of white pine lumber are higher
in Ontario than in the producing dis-
tricts of the United States. For in-
stance, 2x12 in 16-foot lengths is sell-
ing at Duluth for $14, whereas some
manufacturers on the Georgian Bay
ate asking $15 tor this class of stock.
Inch mill culls range from $11 to $12
at the mills, according to the stand-
ard of grading “adopted by the manu-
facturer. Good lumber and mill culls
are more enquired for than the com-
mon grades. A Georgian Bay manu-
facturer reports that sales this year
have been 35 per cent. more than for
the same period of last year, and that
better prices have been obtained. The
mills in that district are finding a
market for their stock in the United
States. Hemlock lumber is in excep-
tionally good demand, and is stronger
than it has been for years, bringing
from $12 to $14 per thousand. Reports
regarding the hardwood demand are
rather contradictory, but the opinion
seems to be that the demand is ex-
panding. Basswood is much sought
after, and orders for maple are being
placed more freely. We would not be
surprised if the fall months should
witness a brisk demand for hardwood
lumber, as. the stocks of consumers
will by that time have been greatly
reduced. Further, the hardwood man-
ufacturers are likely to take out a
still smaller quantity of logs during
the coming winter than was taken out
last season.

season.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Several manufacturers in the east-
ern provinces report an active demand
for piné boards and spruce and pine
box shooks, but European specifica-
tions are dull and prices comparative-
ly weak. White pine and spruce suit-
able for the West Indies, South Amer-

ican and other tropical countries, are
being purchased quite freely, and the
bulk of the stock to be cut for these
markets this season has already been
contracted for, while buyers are still
in the market. A steady trade is
doing for local account and for ship-
ment to the FEastern States, where
boards and frames are scarce. Cedar
shingles are firmer and are referred to
at greater length in another column.
The latest news from the Upper St.
John river is more satisfactory with
respect to the lumber drives. Most of
the logs that were hung up have
reached corporation limits, but the
driving this year has been expensive
and will compel manufacturers to get
pretty high prices for their lumber in
order to avoid a loss.

UNITED STATES.

The white pine market in the Lake
Superior district seems to be getting
stronger each day. A statement has
been compiled by the Mississippi Val-
ley Lumbermen’s Association showing
that the shipments by seventy-four of
the leading white pine concerns of
Wisconsin and Minnesota for the first
six months of this year were I,104,-
205,911 feet,‘an increase of 200,000,000
feet over the corresponding period last
year. This large trade has naturally
been conducive of higher prices, and
at the present there is every inmdica-
tion of a strong market throughout
the season. At Take Superior buyers
are now offering $14 for 2x12, in
lengths from 12 to 16 feet. The only
weakness pertains to No. 4 and No. 5
boards, the stock of which is heavier
than of the other grades. At eastern

distributing centres the volume of
business has been restricted by hot
weather, but inquiry continues as

brisk as at any time within the past
two months. Prices are firm all along
the line. In the Saginaw valley log
run is held at $18 to $22, box lumber
at $15 to $16, and mill culls at $12.
Very little Norway is offering, quota-
tions being $13 and upwards. The
hardwood market shows little im-
provement. Some lumber is being
purchased, but there is no activity.
The lower grades of white oak are
weakér, as is also thick maple. A
scarcity of shingles and lath is re-
ported from Buffalo.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The year 1901, up to the present,
has been one of dullness in the timber
trade of Great Britain, and the situa-
tion now is somewhat perplexing ;

Il.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

JULY 24, 1901

yet we find that the imports of both
timber and sawn lumber exceed in
quantity those for the corresponding
period. of 1900. The quantity of sawn
lumber imported has been 15,951,522
loads, as with 1,565,898
loads for the similar period of last
year. The result is that an unusually
heavy stock is on the market at the
leading importing centres. In London
the stock of Baltic and White Sea
deals and battens on hand is more
than three times as great as it was
at this period last year, the increase
being 4,841,340 pieces. It may clearly
be seen why prices have been depress-
ed and the difficulty of closing con-
tracts at a price which would show a
reasonable of profit to the
shipper on this side. The consump-
tion has been about up to the aver-
age, but the import has largely ex-
ceeded the demand. The better grades
have sola fairly well, but the common
grades have been very heavy and inay
sink to even a lower level. Consider-
ing the decline in the price of Baltic
lumber, Canadian pine has remained
firm. The stocks of regular sizes in
London are moderate, and providing
that imports are
better tone m: ected later in
the season. The tendency of spruce
prices has been towards further weak-
ness, and doubt is expressed whether
the bottom has yet been reached.
Square and waney timber are slow of
sale, but there is a good demand for
special stock for tool handles, chairs,
and wood-working purposes. In the
Wanted and For Sale Department of
this issue there appears an announce-
ment of a timber merchant who de-
sires to import chair bottoms of
birch or other suitable wood.

$24 ; second quality, $19 ; and a spot

boards and $23.30 for plank. Spruce
has sold at $16.87 for merchantable,
$12.87 for second quality, and $13 for
scantling. Gaspe cedar shingles are
in supply and sell at $3.75 per M, and
cedar laying at $2.27, although the

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.

Cedar shingles are higher, there can
be no doubt about that. It is no
longer possible to buy from the small-
er mills at less than $2.85 for extras,
on basis of Boston freight, and $2.85
shingles, we believe, are in short sup-
tly at that ; in other words, the mar-
ket is now stiff, with $2. 85 as bot-
tom, when three weeks ago it was
weak at $2.75. It is known that
there are but very few shingles at
points of manufacture, and that all
mills have orders booked for as many
or more shingles than they have on
hand. All rejorts from consuming
centres indicate light stocks in retail
hands, with an extremely good de-
mand for midsummer. ‘Retailers
have been waiting for August weather,
thinking -that prices would then sag
off and that they could replenish their
broken stocks at their own figures.
They are now obliged to admit that
shingles are higher instead of lower,
and that they may he compelled to
pay the manufacturers’ price instead
of adjusting it to their own ideas.
They will be obliged to buy largely
inside of six weeks, and if prices con-
tinue to stiffen as indications war-
rant, so that no extras are offered at
less than $3.00, practically the entire
retail trade of New England would
hasten to place their orders at once
for fear of being obliged to pay $3.25
in the fall. There is nothing that will
induce huyers to place large orders
like a radical advance in the market.
Prices have stiffened enough already

to induce a feeling that shingles at
present prices may be a good pur-
chase. Another 10 cent advance

would insure to a certainty the fact
that shingles should be bought now,
as present prices are believed to he
lower than later quotations will be.

Those manufacturers who are re-
fusing to accept any orders at less
than $3.00 hasis, would seem to be
showing good sense. It is also’ he-
lieved that if Washington red cedars
continue to be as scarce and as high
as at present, and there seems no

reason for anything else, by October
15th New Brunswick extras will com-
mand $3. 15. The attention of manu-
facturers is called to the fact that
three weeks ago we predicted higher
prices than were then ruling, and this
in the face of the fact that shingles
usually weaken in midsummer. We
are just as certain now that prices
will shortly rule still higher than at
present. The present market may be
quoted as stiff at following prices,
f.o.b. Boston rate of freight : Extras,
$2.85 to $3.00; clears, $2.60 to $2.70 ;
and clears, $2. 20 to a 30; saps, $2.00
to $2.25; extra No. 1, $1.70 to $1.80.

FOREIGN MARKETS.

Messrs. Edmiston & Mitchell, of
Glasgow, in their monthly report
dated June 29th, state :—One of the
noticeable features is the shrinkage in
stock of waney pine, which is only
2,500 loads, or a half of what it was
at 31st March, and. considerably less
than a third of the stock as at 3Ist
December last.. Square pine is also
very much reduced, and red pine logs
are a third less than at 31st March.
Oak logs are less than a half of the
stock at that date, while elm is about
450 loads less. The only item in
which there has been a very noticeable
increase is pitch pine, the stock hav-
ing doubled itself during the past
three months, and now amounts to
over two million cubic feet, which is
sufficient to supply all probable re-
quirements of the market for a con-

FIRES

The stave mill at Castleford, Ont.,
owned by the Sutherland-Innes Com-
pany, of Chatham, Ont., was burned
a few days ago.

A portable saw mill and about 500,-
ooo feet of lumber belonging to J. lL.
Black & Sons, of Sackville, N.B.,
were burned at Aboushagan recently.
The loss is about $5,000.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS
ONTARIO.

Reports from the Ottawa valley and
Georgian Bay districts state that
there has not been the usual mid-sum-
mer falling off in the demand for
white }ine, but that orders have con-
tinued to be placed in goodly volume.
The activity in building in Ottawa
and vicinity is chiefly accountable for
the increased demand in that section,
while the Georgian Bay mills are
shipping largely to Michigan. ‘here
has been some scurrying around for
dry cutting-up grades, which are in
short supply. Sales of this stock are
being made at Georgian Bay points
at ~$25, and stock boards at $14 to
§16f Hemlock is very strong and
brings from $12 to $14 at the mill,
while there is good buying of all
kinds of shingles. No. 1 cedars are
held by manufacturers at $2.50, and
No, 1 cedar lath at $2.00. No. 1 pine
lath ranges from $2.25 to $2.50 at the
mill. Hardwoods are held firmly,
but have not materially improved in
demand. Basswood is the exception
and finds a buyer very readily. One
manufacturer reports the sale of 50,-
ooo feet, log run, at $15.50. In Yor-
onto trade is quiet. Some dealers
state that prices are weaker and that
purchases of lumber can be made at a
reduction from the spring quotations.

tained.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The volume of building in Montreal
this year has been small, and the re-

tail demand for lumber necessarily
limited. Export trade is also dull
compared with this time last year,

especially in spruce, and the opinion
that the
lumber is likely to decline somewhat.
Hardwood Montreal are
holding their own, but the demand is

recognize the necessity, however, of
limiting their operations in the
woods next winter. New Brunswick
cedar shingles are very steady at
$2.90 for extras, on Boston rate of
freight.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Dealers announce an encouraging iin-
jrovement in the demand for lumber.
Trade in Winnipeg has been brisk all
season as a result of large building

operations. Permits have been issued
this year for buildings aggregating in
value nearly $1,200,000. The immetse
grain crop is also a strong factor in
the situation, and a very heavy de
mand for lumber is looked for in the
fall. In British Columbia trade is
fair and will be assisted by the im-
provement in Manitoba and the Terri-
tories.

The dealers in Winnipeg last week
advanced the shingles 15
cents per thousand, and there is a
prospect of advance of I0
cents. They are scarce and in good

demand.

There have been no signs during the
past week that the white pine market
of the United States was weakening
The demand from retailers throughout
the corn belt where the drouth has
damaged the crops has fallen off, but
this has been offset by an increased
trade in the Eastern States. In the
Lake Superior district the conditions
are very favorable. There is activity

Heavy shipments are being made to

which left Duluth last week loaded
with lumber, sixteen were destined
for Bulfalo and Tonawanda. In the
Saginaw valley white pine continues
remarkably strong for this time of
year, while hemlock is moving better
than could be expected. From Cleve-

GREAT BRITAIN.

The conditions in the British’: mar-
ket are tending to confine operations
to buying from stocks on hand. The
importer is buy free-on-
board at shipping points, fearing that
prices may not yet have reached hot-

afraid to

tom. Russian shippers have made
sharp reductions in their asking
prices, but Swedish shippers have of-

fered but slight reductions, while the
Canadian exporter has refuséd almost
emphatically to yield to the demands
of importers for lower prices. It is
generally believed that the time has
now come when confidence will be re-
stored to the timber trade, and that
it is in the interest of shippers to
hold their stocks for a while. It is
significant that during the past year
of depression very few financial em-
barrassments The

ally no midsummer buying was done,

this situation will soon be relieved.
Reports tell of a more hopeful out-
look for pine than for spruce, which
is showing weakness. A
spruce deals and boards, from St.
John, N.B., was sold at Liverpool,
on July 12th, the deals realizing
£5 10s per standard for fourth qual-
ity, unassorted ends £5 12s 6d, and
inch boards £5 2s 6d. While at I,on-
don and Tiverpool spruce is weak,
we hear that 3x9 and II inch-spruce
is stiffening in price at Manchester.

A dispatch from Bangor, Me., states
that the past two weeks have been
the dullest on record in any shipping
season. The spruce mills are shut
down, the old log supply having be-
come exhausted and the new logs not
having arrived on account of delays
to drives.

It is announced that F. H. Clergue,
of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., has signed
a contract with H. R. McLellan, of
St. John, N.B., by which the latter

cords of wood per day for two years.
The wood is to be used for the pur-
pose of making charcoal for the steel

THE BAKBADOES MARKET,

Of the Barbadoes lumber market,
Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Com-
pany, say: ‘The arrivals of white
pine have been the ‘' Jas. Daly,’’
irom Liverpool, N.S., on 11th, with
80 M shipping, 85 M second quality,
which we placed by wire for Dem-
erara at $23 round. The ‘*Alice” ar-
rived from same port on 13th with
133 M_ shipping and i100 M second
quality, which we sold by wire for
Berbice at $28 1-2 and $23; and the
“Minerva’’. from Jordan River, with
34 M shipping and 42-M second qual-
ity, which has been placed locally at
$24 and $18. The market was
strengthened considerably by the two
previous cargoes being sent away,
and the purchaser being entirely bare,
but as all the dealers now have some
supply, a continuance of these prices
cannot be looked lor. In spruce there
have been only two small receipts,
16 M by the ‘‘Leopold” from Paspe-
biac, Que., very nice quality, which
we placed at $17.56; and 54 M by the
‘Harry,’ which we sold at $17.26
shipping, $13.26 second quality—mar-
ket is amply stocked for present re-
quirements. Shingles — There have
been several arrivals, all to our ad-

dress. The ‘‘New Dotminion,’; on
1ith, {rom CampbeHton, had 1,128 M
laying . cedar, and 50 M long Gaspé,

which we sold at $1.75 and $3.60 re-
spectively; The ‘‘Advance,’” from
Paspebiac, Que., on 12th with 130 M
split dimension, which we have sold
at from $3.80 to $7.36 as to width;
and 172 M sawn dimension, which
fetched $4.00 to $3.60, and 34 M long
Gaspé, which we placed at $3.70. On
following day the ‘‘Leopold’’ arrived
from same port, with 400 M eedar
laying, for which we obtained $1.75;
31 M long Gaspé, $3.40, and 129 M
split dimension, which we sold at

' TRADE INQUIRIES, _

Among recent trade enquiries re-
ceived at the office of the Canadian
High Commissioner, in Tondon, are
the following : —From a German
firm, having experience of the trade,
wishing to represent Canadian wood
pulp manufacturers. From a British
firm desirous of obtaining the names
of Canadian shippers of boxwood,
shipped in the flat, ready to be put
together by the purchaser.

The names of the persons making
the above enquiries may be obtained
on application to the Canada Iumber-
man.

EXCELLENT RESULTS.

Mr. Alex. McCall, of Simcoe, Ont.,
placed an advertisement in the Want-
ed and For Sale Department of the
Weekly Tumberman, offering timber
lands for sale. This is what he says
of the results : “The advertisement
produced excellent results. It was
inserted in one of the Toronto dailies,
and resulted in one inquiry, while the
advertisement in the Iamberman
brought correspondence from all over
the country, from just the class of
men I wished to hear from."’

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS
ON LARIO.

A Toronto dealer who recently vis-
ited Georgian Bay points states that
there is much activity in the shipping
of lumber. Considerable stock sold
some time ago is yet at the mills,
but it is being cleared out as speedily
us possible to make room for the new
cut. ‘the number ot inquiries received
for stock shows no falling oil, and it
is expected that a brisk tail trade
will be experienced. Larger ship-
ments than usual have been made to
Chicago this season, and Michigan
dealers have bought quite liberally on
account of the decreased supply in
that state. Log run white pine on
the Georgian bay brings irom 17 to
$18. Norway pine is meeting with a
good demand, and recent sales have
been at satislactory figures. Local
trade throughout the province is a
little quiet, the demand irom retailers
having declined on account of a tfall-
ing oif in the prospective grain crop.
In Toronto building lumber is being
called for’ moderately, but retailers
report less activity than earlier in
the season. The outlook for hard-
woods is still uncertain, although
manufacturers appear to have every
conlidence that the demand will im-
prove and that the present prices will
be maintained. It is reported that
the combine of furniture manufac-
turers is making a strong effort to
depress hardwood prices in the hope
of buying at rock-bottom figures.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The shipments of lumber from the
St. Lawrence to the United Kingdom
during the month of July were com-
paratively light. Notwithstanding
that the low freights are an incentive
to send goods forward, it is expected
that the exports from now until the
close of the season will be limited, as
shippers recognize the necessity of
giving the British market an oppor-
tunity to recover. A few vessels have
been chartered for September and
October loading at 45 shillings, to
Liverpool and Iondon. Quebec spruce
deals are a little stronger. A higher
market for spruce is expected in the
Eastern States this fall. Clapboards

are selling quite freely, as is also ce-
dar shingles, but very few sales of
the latter have as yet been made
above $2.90, on Boston rate of
freight, although $3 is generally pre-
dicted by the leading manufacturers.
Fully twenty million feet of logs are
hung up on the St. John river, and
cannot be moved before the fall rains,
and perhaps not until next spring.

UNITED STATES.

The only conclusion that can be
reached from a summary of reports
is that the white pine trade of the
United States is in a most prosper-
ous condition. Not jor many years
has the stock of unsold lumber in the
Lake Superior district been so small.
At Ashland, Wis., the stock of unsold
Norway and white pine is but 30,-
000,000 feet, as compared with
75,000,000 leet at the same time last
year. Most of the large mills have
contracted for the bulk of their sea-
son’s cut, Chicago parties having been
heavy buyers ot late. No. 4 boards
are now selling in Duluth at 10.00,
short Norway at $10.75, and 6-inch
strips at $15.50. ‘the lath market is
No. 1 white pine bringing
$2.75, and No. 1 Norway $2.10 to
$2.25. In the Saginaw valley white
pine is moving freely and prices are
stiflening, as stocks are somewhat
broken. Log run is held at $18 to
40 $22, box at $15 to $16, and mill
culls at $12. ‘Lhe eastern wholesale
markets are not as active as they
have been, but dealers have enougi
orders ahead to keep them.busy tor
several weeks. Notwithstanding
lange receipts, there is still a scarcity
of tine common and better at Tona-
wanda and Buffalo. Prices generally

strong,

are firm, with the exception of box
lumber, which is unsettled. Some
dealers are reported to be olfering

this class of lumber at a reduction ol
$1 per thousand from late quotations.
Such action is believed to be unwar-
ranted, and other dealers have refused
to meet the cut and will hold their
stock, until they can get what they
regard as a fair price. The spruce
trade is not active, but recent inquir-
ies have developed a scarcity in cer-
tain sizes in the hands of New York
and Boston dealers. Spruce lath is in
good demand. ‘The tone of the hard-
wood market is stronger. Inquiries
are becoming more numerous, which
leads to the conclusion that a brisk
fall trade will develop. Some dealers
report a good trade in birch.

recovery of prices is confidently look-
ed for. While the London market has
not been relieved to any extent and
still weak, an advance in the
price of spruce at Tiverpool has
brightened the outlook there. During
the last two weeks spruce deals’ have
developed a stiffening tendency, and
prices, we are advised, have advanced
five shillings per standard. A Mrfra-
michi cargo has been sold to a Lan-
cashire port at £6 tos per standard

During the six months ended June

were shipped from Halifax, N.S., to

woods distributed by Mr. Parizean a
short time ago.

pine prices did not decline during the
late period of depression to the same
extent as spruce. The lower grades
of Canadian lumber generally are in
heavy stock and sluggish. Square
timber is selling moderately at prices

Concerning the market in
for

England
spruce deals, the ‘timber Trades
Journal says: ‘‘Buyers on this side
have a large stock to work upon, and
until this is further reduced the low-
ering tendency of spot goods may be
expected to continue. Offers, how-
ever, sent out to Quebec for 3x9 2nds,
at £8 15s, c.i.f., have been declined,
and sellers out there are afraid that,
in, this -size, they will ~ not have
enough to complete the contracts al-
ready in hand. Regarding lower port
spruce stocks, we understand that
from some of the outports the entire
shipments are completed, and the
shipments from St. John are expected
to be very much less than last year.
The total shipments from the lower
ports to the end of June were about
7,000,000 feet less than last year, and
during July and August, 1900, about
90,000,000 superficial feet were ship-
ped; but the belief is pretty general
that this year’s shipments, extending
over the period named, will he con-
siderably less. A Cape Hopewell car-
go of rather a bad specification, con-
taining a large percentage of 7 and 8
in., has been sold this week to Liver-
pool at £6 2s 6d. This represents a

slight market advance. As the Ljiver-
pool importers are among the keenest
buyers of spruce, the sale is not with-
out its significance. After the low
prices which have heen lately accept-
ed, some reaction appéars possible.’’

. CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS
ONTARIO.

he determination of manufacturers
of white pine lumber to hold prices
firm has met with success. The lists
sent out for the month of July show
that prices of every grade are being
kept up. While there is plenty ol
lumber for sale, there seems to be no
pressure on the part of holders to
dispose of their stocks, nor is there
any reason why such should be the
case if a conservative policy, in re-
spect to production is pursued. Very
hopetul reports regarding the pine sit-
uation come from the Georgian Bay
district. A large Michigan concern
recently purchased 10,000,000 feet of
white pine lumber at Sprague, 10,-
000,000 feet at Blind River, 20,000,000
feet at Midland, and 4,500,000 feet at
Tohn’s Island, making a total of 44,-
500,000 feet. The bulk, and perhaps
all, of this lumber will be taken to
Saginaw and Bay City to stock the
yards there which were formerly sup-
plied by the Michigan mills which cut
Canadian logs. The present indica-
tions are that there will be a scarcity
of long lumber before many months.
Retail trade in Toronto has improved
within the past. week. Shingles and
lath continue strong, XXX
pine shingles selling at $2.80 retail,
and No, 1 lath about $3. Enquiries
for hardwoods have been more numer-
ous, particularly from manufacturing
which that their

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

A better feeling prevails among the
spruce of the eastern
provinces on account of the improve-
ment in spruce in the British market.
While this

almost certain to extend to the pro-
duction of the Maritime provinces.

has resulted in increased shipments
from New Brunswick and Nova Scotia
to France, Spain, Australia and
South America, and it is probable
that when the shipping season closes
the quantity of stock remaining in
the hands of Canadian manufacturers
and shippers will not be abnormally
large. Tnere is no change in the
prices of Quebec timber. New Bruns-
wick cedar shingles are firmer, sales
having been made at $3 for extras on
Boston rate of freight.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

About two hundred carpenters in
Winnipeg have gone on strike, and it
ig feared that building work in that
city will be seriously interfered with
unless an early settlement is reached.
Railway construction is being pushed
on several lines in Manitoba and the
‘Nerritories, particularly the Canadian
Northern line through to Lake Super-
ior. ‘he farmers are now busy har-
vesting the abundant crop, and it is
expected that there will be a brisk
fall demand for lumber for new build-
ings and improvements. In British
Columbia local trade is rather quiet,
but large export shipments are being

made. In the first six months of this.
year eight cargoes of timler were
shipped to China, and large orders
are on the books. n

the head of Take Superior and, in

Michigan is quite strong, with every
prospect that it will continue so dur-
ing the fall months at least. In east-
ern wholesale markets there is a good
movement of white and Norway pine,
with a marked scarcity of the higher
grades. An advance in the price olf
hemlock has been made by the North-
Hemlock Manulacturers’ As-
sociation, and it is said that hard-
woods are also a little firmer and
moving more lilerally. There seems
to be a recovery in ash and

a shortage of some grades to fill the

market showing a tendency to hard-
en. While these conditions exist, 1t is
equally true that the public sales of
the past week have been character-
ized by very low prices, and that the
total stock of timber, deals, etc., in

the public docks is exceptionally
large. In T,ondon the increase of
sawn and plain wood is 6,775,446

pieces over the corresponding period
of 1900. Battens and prepared boards
represent the heaviest increases, the
former being 2,424,399 pieces in ex-
cess and the latter 2,888,125 pieces.
Almost every of timber is in
increased supply, the decrease in the
quantity of Quebec spruce deals being
more than offset by the stock of New

class

Brunswick and Nova Scotia spruce.
The demand for square and waney
timber is quiet. Tirst-class waney

and square pine and oak meet “with
ready sale, but there is little inquiry
for elm and birch, and buyers antici-
pate a further drop in values. A few
sales of 13 in. birch have lately been
made at 14d to 15 1-2d.

FIRES

The saw and planing mills of John
McDonald at Antigonish, N.S., were
burned on August t1th. The loss is
$10,000, with no insurance.

The shingle mill of the Royal City
Planing Mills at New Westminster,
B.C., was partially destroyed by fire
on July 29th, at a loss of. 32,000. The
mill is owned by the British Colum-
bia Mills, Yimber & ‘Trading Com-
pany, of Vancouver.

Red cedar shingles of first quality
have been sold recently in Buffalo at

annual holidays. Imports continue to
arrive freely, but are not keing dis-
posed of and consequently stocks are
increasing. Prices are very unstable,
and with the rapid fall in freights
combined with the present dull trade
a further drop in values is not unlike-
ly. ;

Square pine—There is a better de-
mand and prices are slightly higher.

Red pine—There has heen little bust-
ness during the month. . Quotations,
are, if anything, weaker.

Oak—‘There is no business to report.
The stock on hand is small. ;

Birch—There has been a-heavy im-
port and prices are weaker.. Qvota-
tions—17d to 18d for 15 to 16 in. av-
erage.

Ash—Theré has been a considerable
import during the month, and fair
prices have been realized.

Elm—Stocks have heen little reduced
during the month; prices are little
changed. 45 to 50 feet is quoted at
25 9d to 3s per c. ft.

Pine—Iirsts—There has been but a
moderate demand, and prices are con-
siderally easier. Broads are-quoted at
£24 1s 3d to $27 Ios. Undersized,
£19 18s 9d to £21 6s 3d. Sidings,
£17 17s 6d to £19 5s per St. Pet. Std.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS
ONTARIO.

At a meeting of the Iumbermen’s
Association of Ontario, held in Tor-

onto last week, a _ resolution was
adopted by the members present
agreeing to curtail their operations

in the woods during the coming win-
ter. This action does not imply that
the lumber market is weakening, but
is simply an indication that the lum-
bermen recognize the advantages to
be derived, in view of the high cost of
labor and supplies, in curtailing the
output of lumber next season. Such a
course is to be commended, and it is
hoped that operators will strictly ad-
here to the resolution. The statement
was made by one large operator pres-
ent that it was his intention to cur-
tail 50 per cent., as compared with
last winter, and by another that he
would reduce his output 25 per cent.
The pine market continues to show
strength, the higher grades being
particularly strong. A ready market
can be found for to and 12 inch
boards, and bill stuff is also a good
seller. The average price of mill culls
is between $10 and $12, depending up-
on the location of the stock. A quan-
tity of mill culls at John’s Island,
which would demand a high freight
rate, was lately sold for $9.50. The
demand for hardwoods is improving,
and it is believed that the large con-
siimers are about to enter the market

to stock up for their fall and winter
requirements. Hemlock is in good de-
mand at an average price of $9.50 to
$10, although it is possible to obtain
from $11 to $12 for long lengths. Lath
are holding up well, the mill price be-
ing atout $2.50 for No. 1 and $2 for
No. 2.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

‘The shipments of lumber from Mont-
real during the past week have been
light, and it appears that the ship-
pers on this side are sending forward
only as little lumber as possible. Con-
sidering the depression in the British
market, the price of spruce deals
keeps up remarkably well. Some of
the large mills on the St. Lawrence
are shut down for want of logs, the
drives on the St. Maurice river hav-
ing become stranded, with the possi-
bility that they may not be gotten
out until next spring. It is reported
that the Laurentide Pulp Company at
Grand Mere has been closed from this
cause. A few weeks ago it was pre-
dicted in this column that cedar shin-
gles were about to advance. This
prediction has teen realized, as some
of the large manufacturers are now
asking $3 for extras, on Boston fate
of freight. Clears are quoted at $2.70,
and second clears at $2.30.

UNITED STATES.

During the month of July the ship-
ents of lumber by the members of
the Mississippi Valley and Wisconsin
Valley Lumbermen’s Associations
were 37 per cent. greater than for the
same month in 1900. Crop conditions
are more satisfactory than was ex-
pected, and as the wheat harvest is .
practically over farmers are turning
their attention to the buying of lum-
ber for new buildings and improve-
ments. Prices of white and Norway
pine remain very firm, with an up-
ward tendency, especially in Norway.
At Ashland, Wis., short lengths have
sold at $11 for 2x4 and 2x8, and $12
for to inch stuff. Six inch strips in
common grade are selling at $15.50,
and 4 inch at $14.50. The conditions
in the Saginaw Valley are equally
satisfactory. Log run is held at $18
to $24, box at $14 to $16, and mill
culls at $12. Several cargoes of piece
stuff have been sold to Chicago at
$14, while common inch brings $17.
Buffalo and Tonawanda dealers are
getting in large stocks and are pur-
chasing freely, but the demand is such
that they not able to
their stocks materially. It is jener-

ally beligsved that while there is not

there is likely to be a brisk det
throughout the fall. Hill stuff is sell-
ing comparatively low and an ad-
vance is predicted. ‘The buying ot
hardwoods has been inore noticeable
of late. Apparently the large con-
sumers liave begun to make purchases
in order to replenish their stocks,
which are thought to be low. Con-
siderable ash is moving. Satisfactory
conditions prevail in the spruce trade,

necessary that shippers
must make up their minds to carry
the balance of their British specifica-
tions over till next year, and follow
this action by curtailing their pro-
duction. It is said that there is still

buyers are of course loath to

issue has been continued. The Timber

of a large cargo of Quebec spruce at

and 102,000 second quality white pine,
13,000 feet spruce, and 34,000 feet

$24 for shipping and $17.50 for second
quality, the spruce at $17.50. The

LONDON TIMBER IMPORTS.

Messrs. Churchill & Sim, in their
last report regarding the imports in
to London, say :

Of pine deals from the St. Lawrence
the import has been 1,005,000 pieces,
against 408,000 pieces 1n_ 1900; and of
spruce deals 1,443,000 pieces, against
1,159,000 pieces in 1900. From New
Brunswick the import of pine deals
has been 176,000 pieces, while last
vear there were no imports. Spruce
deals have been imported to the ex-
tent of 244,000 pieces, and birch planks
to 108,000 pieces, against 404,000 and
51,000 pieces respectively last year.

The stock of pine deals has accumu-
lated somewhat, and while prices of
the lower qualities are still high,
those obtainable for first quality have
creatly fluctuated. The fact is that a
creat™ many shipments have found
their way to this country which have
not been too carefully culled for qual-
‘ty, and much trouble has resulted
with buyers in consequence. What is
called the new culling of pine deals
may eventually be understood by buy-
ers, but meanwhile those shippers who
have kept to the recognized standards
of quality will have less competition
to face than formerly.

Spruce deals have been in good de-
mand, and the importation has been a
light one. Hardwoods generally have
been slow of sale.

SS

ANNUAL LOG SALE.

The annual sale of mixed and un-
marked logs rafted by the Fredericton
Boom Company was held at Frederic.
ton, N.B., last week. There was @
large attendance of lumbermen.

The Boom Company has rafted
about 81,500,000 superficial feet of
lumber this season, of which 827,680
feet, about I per cent., were not
marked or the marks were not recog-
nizable. This is the usual percentage.

The logs sold were made up of 33,-
640 feet of hemlock, 22,820 feet of
pine, 102,750 feet of cedar, and 758,.

471 feet of spruce, of which 69,922
feet was condemned, 310,948 feet was

chantable.
The purchasers were as follows :—

$6.25 a thousand.

Pine, W. H. Murray, at $8.50 a
thousand.
Spruce, J. E. Moore, at $11.90 a
thousand.

The price paid by Mr. Moore is the
highest Known to have been paid
for spruce logs. Towage to St.
John will cost 60 cents a thousand,
so that Mr. Moore’s logs will stand
him $12.50 a thousand feet at his mill,
for merchantable. He gets the bat-
tens at two-thirds the price paid for
the merchatable, and the condemned
for nothing except the cost of towing.
Spruce deals are selling at about $10
a thousand feet.

. CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

The closing days of August finds the
white pine market almost as strong as it
was one month ago. The _ constant
operation of the mills has necessarily
increased the yard stocks, but shipping
has been so active that the accumulation
at the mills is not large. Nearly all
manufacturers report a larger volume of
business than last year. There has been
a steady enquiry tor all grades of pine,
but particularly for the better qualities
and 10 and 12 inch boards, of which the
supply is very light. Buyers from the
United States have been an important
factor in the market this year, and have
bought extensively in the Ottawa Valley
If there is

pertains

and Georgian Bay districts.
any weakening of prices it
exclusively to one or two of the lower

grades. The future of pine lumber prices .

depends yery largely upon the policy
which maunfacturers follow during the
coming winter in respect to their logging
operations. If a moderate cut only is
made, there is no question that present
prices will be maintained. The conditions
seem to favor light operations in the
woods, as the cost of labor and supplies is
exceptionally high. While the outlook for
hardwood lumber is fair, the actual
demand is less than might reasonably be
expected. There is, however, a firm
undertone to the market, and it may be
that the prospective improvement may
come earlier than is anticipated. Lath
and shingles continte in light supply, with
a good demand, and prices are quite firm.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Quite a number of vessels have loaded
along the St. Lawrence for the United
Kingdom. The market for spruce is
looking a little more hopeful, and the

opinion is freely expressed that operations
in the woods will be curtailed the coming
winter, and that next season will witness
a marked improvement in spruce prices.
The shipments from New Brunswick arid
Nova Scotia to Great Britain have been
light of late, but increased exports have
been made to South America and France.
The latter country is expected to be a
considerable buyer of Canadian lumber
within the next few years. Cedar shingles
are firmer, practically no extras being
offered at less than $3.00 on Boston rate
of freight. Clears are selling at $2.70
and second clears at $2.25.

UNITED STATES

The report presented at the semi-annual
meeting of the Mississippi Valley Lumber-
men’s Association makes the very salis-
factory showing that stocks on hand are
decreasing each year, while the ship-
ments are showing a corresponding in-
crease. This statement has in a measure
dispelled any hope which buyers may
have had of obtaining lower prices this
fall. The white pine market is exception-
ally strong, the large mills having either
sold ahead or are meeting: with a demand
for the lumber assfa@st as it ts cut. The
effect of the tw@, uof@vorable factors,
namely, the corm enqp, failuner amd the
strike of steel workers, has passed off,
and indications are promising for a brisk
falltrade. The higher grades of lumbpr
are wanted in excess of the supply, while
the common and lower grades are moving
liberally at good prices. In Chicago
there is a promgunced scarcity of Ne. 1
and No. 2 12-inch keards as we'l as picee
stuff, which ranges from. $ig.75 19 $14 in
cargo lots. -Norway pine is net as firm
as white pine. Our Albany and Buffalo.
price lists this week show an advanee in
the higher grades of pine. Reports from
these cities telhofa very firm market for
uppers and selects. Spruce lumber is also
hardening, there betag a good demand
for building material in New, York, The
hardwood trade still lacks the snap, whieh,
is shown by pine, although some dealers
give a more satisfactory account of trade
and report heayy shipments of basswood,
maple and quartered oak. Lath and
shingles are not accumulating to any
extent, and it is almost certain that the
present prices will be sustained through-
out the falh,

GREAT BRITAIN.

The course of the British timber mar-
ket week after week has been so similar
as to make a review much of a repetition.
The market is still heavy, but with some
strong spots. The low price of lumber is
stimulating consumption, and there has

;

bl,

(CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

been considerable ~ buying of building
materials. At recent auction sales prices
have been further depressed, especially
floorings, scantlings and the lower grades
of lumber generally, At a London sale
3X14-24 inch white pine from Quebec
brought only £15 9s. per standard. The

stock, however, was of poor “quality.
Spruce prices have. not undergone any
further advance, but dealers are optimis-
tic that if the full receipts are not too
heavy an upward trend will set in. It is
announced that Norwegian shippers

contemplate carrying over their summer
and autumn production until next spring.
Waney board pine has of late shown
strength, and Quebec oak of good
quality is scarce. Specifications suitable
for railway requirements meet with quick
sale at firm figures. Red pine is weak,
and no improvement can be reported in

New Brunswick birch planks.

THE BOSTON MARKET.

The spruce lumber market at Boston con-
tinues firm, although business is not
particularly active. Nothing in spruce
frames is being sold below $18, and
from that fgure up to $20 and even
more is being obtained. Merchant-
able boards are worth $15.50 to $17,
and matched boards, $17 to $17.50.
Laths are quiet and steady at $2.80 to
$2.85 for 1 5-8 in, and $2.70 for 1 1-2 in.

Eastern cedar shingles are firmer for
extras, for the reason that the trade
has turned to them, under the fact
that they are only about 25c. higher than
clears, when the acknowledged differ-
ence is 50c. Dealers find that they are
getting a good demand for extras, with
most of the manufacturers declining to
ship them for less than $3 to Boston. Most
of the dealers ask $3 for extras ; clears,
$2.60 to $2.70; second clear $2.15 to $2.25;
sap, $2; extra No. 1, $1.60 to $1.75;
Washington and British Columbia, 16-
inch, five butts to 2 inches.

Hardwood lumber continues in only fair
request: One inch, whitewood, $38 to
to $40; thicker, $26 to $43; 5% inch, $30
to $34 ; saps, inch, $25 to $30; common,
$23 tv $25 ; quartered oak, $65 to $70 ;
tancy, $0 to,$90; plain oak, $35 to $45 ;
ash, $38 to $45; cherry, $90 to $130 ;
maple, $30 to $40; sycamore, quartered
inch, $40 to $50; walnut, $100 to $130.

Clapboards are scarce, with the mar-
ket largely nominal : Extra spruce, $30 to
$32; clear, $28 to $30; second clear, $25
to $27; extra No. 1, $18 to $20; pine,
extra, $36 to $38; clear, $36 to $37 5 =
second clear, $28 to $39.

From the provinces last week five
cargoes of lumber were received, with a
total of 1,742,400 feet, 66,000 feet of
piling and 10,000 railway ties.

The following charters are reported :

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

From the standpoint of immediate de-
mand, white pine lumber conditions are
not as saiisfactory as they were one month
ago, the volume of business being
slightly less. But when this is said no-
thing more can be added which would
give one reason to expect anything but a
strong market. The conditions are all
favorable to a steady demand at firm
prices. The present season has been
characterized by extreme dullness in the
export of lumber, but next year a season
of much greater activity andhigher prices
may be looked for. As it is the higher
grades which most readily find a market
in Great Britain, there is likely to develop
a great scarcity of these grades in the
near future, especially as the supply is
now almost inadequate to meet the de-
mands of the trade. Good pine lumber
promises to gradually become more valu-
able. The changes in our Ottawa price
list show an appreciation in good strips
and shipping culls and better. Lath and

‘shingles are also showing strength, and it

is said that the supply is very light. To-
ronto dealers are looking for still higher
prices before the end of the year. Of hard-
woods little can be said. The buying is
still of a hand-to-mouth character, while
manufacturers are holding prices steady.
The stock is comparatively large, but this
will be offset by restricting the log output

next winter. Thereisa good movement
of hemlock.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Lumber market conditions in the east-
ern provinces are mostly unchanged,
although there are indications of strength.
Waney pine has been sold in the Quebec
market as high as 55 cents for 21 inch
average. The other classes of timber are
firm, although not in as good demand as
pine. Spruce deals are moving moder-
ately, while clapboards are scarce and
firm. As high as $32 has been paid for
extra quality clapboards delivered at
Boston. The cedar shingle market is
daily becoming stronger, and several
sales of extras are reported at $3 on Bos-
ton rate of freight. Clears bring about
$2.70 ane second clears $2.25. A recent
report from Fredericton, N. B., states
that there are 26,000,000 feet of logs hung
up on the head waters of the St. John
river owing to extremely low water. This
is about one-fifth of the output of that
river.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The carpenters, strike in Winnipeg is
perhaps, the only unfavorable element in
the lumber situation of the west. Other
conditions favor a large consumption of
jumber. Building permits issued in
Winnipeg up to Avgust 31st of this year
represent an expenditure of $1,300,000,
and the total for the year will probably
exceed two million dollars. Then there
is the abundant harvest to enrich the
farmers and make possible the erection
of new buildings and improvements. Al-
together the outlook for lumber is good,
and prices are firm. British Columbia
manufacturers report some increase in
the demand for shingles for shipment
eastward, but the movement of lumber is
not very active. A few large orders have
lately been placed for railway and bridge
timber.

UNITED STATES.

The lumber trade of the United
States has been a little quieter during the
past week, although prices show no
material change. The tendency seems to
be towards higher prices for the upper
grades of white pine, and a continuation
of present prices for the lower qualities.
In the Lake Superior district uppers and
selects are higher, and in Tonawanda
some of the better grades have been
marked up two dollars per thousand.
The selling price of white pine in the
eastern distributing markets has for some
time been out of proportion to the prices
asked dt producing points, and a process

reportd to have been sold at £11 10s,

Considerable parcels of spruce have also
changed hands, and when dealers are
enabled to reduce their holdings pur-
chased at the higher level which prevailed
in the spring, liberal buying for fall and

Messrs. Campbell, Meredith & Allan
have entered an action in the name of the
Collin’s Bay Rafting & Forwarding Com-
pano to seize and attach in the hands of
Messrs. Poupore & Malone, contractors,
now doing wofk ii the Montreal harbor,
some 1,060 pieces of oak now on board
the steamer Saturn or on the wharf, to
which the steamer is attached, the whole
representing a value of about $13,350.
The affidavit of the President of the com-
pany plaintiff, which owns the Saturn, sets
forth that the timber was shipped at
Sandusky, Ohio, consigned to the defend-
ants by Hirk, Christy & Co., of Cleveland,
and that on coming to Montreal the ship
grounded at Pigeon Island. A tug and
lighter had to be secured to release tde
vessel, and the time lost and repairs
needed constituted another source of
damige, The plaintiffs claim that the
accident is imputable to the cargo, and
that they have a lien on the timber.

FIRES.
The saw mill of Thompson & Avery,
near Sharbot Lake, Ont., was destroved
by fire on August 29th, at a loss of $4,000.

cently, together with a quantity of lum-
ber,

er. Buyers are not anxious for business
and the mills are holding large stocks:
Prices, however, are erratic and what
holds good in one sale may not answer in
another, although the same stock may be
selling. The figure yiven for basswoud
is $16 per M., and for mill run ash $17.
Maple, birch and elm, which brought $16
a year ago, arerunning from $10 to $12
now.

Business is brisk at the mills and logs
plentiful. Low water in the Gatineau
threatened a tie up, but heavy rain has
improved the situation.

Over 800 men have gone up to the
woods. Some place the figures even
higher, and gangs are being hired daily.
Wages are even higher thin ast season,
ranging from $20 and board for road-mak-
ing to $30 and board for axe men.

It is reported that the Bronson & Wes-
ton Company will next season erect a saw
mill at the Chaudiere, on the site of their
old one. They have been out ot the busi-
ness fer a couple of years.

One company has it that the United States
buyers are trading from hand to mouth.
September, however, promises an improve-

receive attention. The British market is
dull and according to report over-

considerable stock from local yards and

BUSINESS NOTES.

A meeting of the creditors of the Che
quasset Lumber Co. was held in New
York on August 27th. Representatives of
all the banks interested as well as the mer-
chandise creditors were present. The
meeting was called at the request of Chas.
E. Corkran, president of the Chequasset
Lumber Co., who made a proposition to
form a new company, of which he was to
have control, to take over all the assets
and liabilities and continue business. The
Chequasset Lumber Co. isa parent organi-
zation controlled by fifteen subordinate
companies. Mr. Corkran submitted a
statement showing that the liabilities of
all the concerns amounted to $965,960,
and the assets would amount to nearly
$500,000. :

A committee of three creditors was ap-
pointed to examine the books and to re-
port to another meeting, which will be
called in about three weeks.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

““The lumber market is steady, and, if
anything, inclined to be a little stronger.
There is not the slightest indication of
weakness, and I look for higher prices
this winter.” This was the opinion given
by a large manufacturer of white pine, and
seems to be an expression of the prevail-
ing sentiment in the trade. Considering
the quantity of lumber manufactured this
season, the stock yet unsold represents
but a small percentage, as most of the
water mills have made large shipments
by vessel to the United States. The opin-
ion of manufacturers on the Georgian
Bay regarding the future of the market is
very hopefnl, particularly in view of the
proposed limited operations in the woods
during the coming winter. The manufac-
turers who have most faith in the market
are asking from $14 to $16 for box and
common, $12 for 1xto and 12 mill culls,
and corresponding prices for other grades.
The higher qualities of pine are held very
firm. Owing to a large production of red
pine during the past two years, that lum-
ber has declined slightly in price, but it is
almost certain that during the coming
winter the cut of red pine logs will be
small, and in our opinion holders of such
stock should make no sacrifice, as all the
lumber wiil find a market at reasonable
prices. For No. 1 lath $2.50 is being
asked at Georgian Bay mills, and for No.
2 $2, while in the Ottawa valley $2.25 to
$2.50 and $1.75 to $2 are the prevailing
prices. The scarcity of shingles con-
tinues. As muchas $2.40 1s being asked
by some manufacturers for the best grade

of pine. The hardwood market is quite
featureless, the only noticeable change be-
ing some increased buying by the imple-
ment and furniture factories. At the
mills $13 is asked for inch mill run soft
elm, $15 for birch, $13 for maple, and $20
for oak.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The shipments of lumber from the St.
Lawrence during the past week have
been light. It is hoped that this: will
continue until the close of navigation, as
great precaution on the part of shippers
iS necessary in order that the British
market may not be further depressed.
The low freight rates are an inducement
to send lumber forward. Quebec spruce
deals are quite firm, and shippers on this
side are not willing to offer any conces-
sions to buyers. Manufacturers in New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia are also
showing more confidence, partly owing to
the heavy demand from South America
and some demand from Australia, France
and other countries to which shipments
have not usually been large. Clapboards
are in better demand for shipment to the
United States. Extra cedar shingles are
firmly held at $3, but clears are a litte
easier at $2.65. It is probable that some
of the St. John saw mills will be com-
pelled to close down on account of a
scarcity of logs, some of the drives not
having arrived.

UNITED STATES.

The past week has been comparatively
quiet in lumber circles throughout the
United States, shipments showing a
falling off on account of a shortage of cars
to move the stock. The shipments of
white pine so far this season have been
very heavy. Up to September 1 there
was shipped from Minneapolis 46,000,000
feet more than during the corresponding
period of last year. It is reported that
fewer buyers are now visiting the Lake
Superior district, although several million
feet of lumber were sold last week to
Chicago and eastern points. At Marin-
ette, Wis., there is practically no pine for
sale, but there is considerable hardwoods
on the docks unsold. The receipts of
lumber at Buffalo and Tonawanda were
heavy during August, the former receiv-
ing by vessel 63,000,000 feet and the
latter 81,000,000 feet. A considerable
quantity has yet to come forward from
the Upper Lakes. There is a good
movement of the higher grades of pine
and an improved demand for box lumber,
which during the summer months showed

I].

September 11, 1901

perhaps more weakness than any other
grace. Itis believed that a strengthen-
ing of prices will take place in the im-
mediate future. A ten per cent. advance
in the price of sash and doors took place
on the 5th instant, this being necessitated
by the higher price of factory lumber.

Reports from Boston tell of a strong
spruce market, an advance of one dollar
a thousand above the old price list
being the general rule. The larger
dimensions of spruce are quite scarce.
Hardwoods are still less active than pine.

There is a good trade in birch, basswood

and oak, but elm in particular lacks
activity.
GREAT BRITAIN.

The reports this week from the British
timber market are of a more hopeful
character. Imports have decreased,
while the consumption is quite brisk, and
on the whole there is hardening tendency.
Of course, the market is still unsettled
and the future uncertain, but if the re-
ceipts during the fallare not too heavy a
recovery in prices seems probable. While
recent auction sales have shown no gener-
al improvement, the prices realized for
Canadian deals showed exceptional
strength for this particular class of tim-
ber. The spruce market is more active
than it has been for many weeks, and it
is probable that a shortage of 3x9 second
and third quality deals will develop dur-
ing the winter. For this reason import-
ers have of late shown a disposition to
contract for these sizes. The Timber
News, referring to the spruce market,
says: “ Were it not for the low prices of
Russian ani Scandinavian white, there
would be a much more active rise, because
the quantity available for shipment is
much less than usual, particularly in 3x9
inches. Offers of £6 tos c.i.f. for Lower
Port cargoes are being refused by the
shippers.” For unsorted and lower qual-
ity deals the marketis still rather weak,
as the stock is large. Canadian pine
deals are exhibiting strength, and first
quality 3x11 brings £28 per standard.
There is also a good inquiry for 3x11
fourth quality pine. Plasterers’ laths are
selling low, 1/4xt at 8d, and 3/r16x1 at
74d. per bundle. In square timber oak
leads in point of demand. Waney

STOCKS AND PRICES.

The steamer Pinemore is loading lum-
ber at the Louise Basin, Quebec, for the
United Kingdom.

In the Saginaw valley No. 1 pine lath is
quoted at $3.50 and No. 2 at $3.00. Hem-
lock lath brings $3.00.

The Saginaw Lumber & Salt Company
received their first consignment of logs at
Sandwich, Ont., last week. There were
two rafts, containing 3,500,000 feet.

There is a somewhat firmer feeling in
the cooperage trade. At Buffalo elm flour
barrel staves are quoted at $7.50 to $7.75
and first-class basswood heading at 5%
and 5% cents.

James Oaks, of Presque Isle, Me., will
cut 3,000,000 feet of spruce logs the com-
ing winteron Three Brooks stream, in New
Brunswick, to be rafted to St. John.

A representative of the Rat Portage
Lumber Company states that 76,000,000
feet of logs will have arrived at the mills
of the Rat Portage Lumber Company at
the close of the season.

At the Crown Lands office, Fredericton,
N. B., last week 234 square miles of timber
lands on the Lower Trout Brook, Maga-
guadavic river, were sold to F. .H. Todd
& Sons, at $300 per square mile.

J. A. Gregory, manager for Dunn Bros.
at St. John, N.B., has purchased the right
to cut logs on the property at Point Le-
Preaux, a few miles down the shore from
St. John, on which Alexander Gibson be-
gan his lumber career. It is said that
Mr. Gregory will erect a mill.

An important transaction in timber
lands has lately taken place, by which
Messrs. Wiliam Power, of Quebec, and
Hiram Calvin, of Kingston, became the
owners of 500 miles of virgin torest lands
on the Metabetchoua river, in the province
of Quebec. The consideration is not
given.

During the month of August the price
ot red cedar shingles in Washington
steadily declined, the drop being about 4o
cents per thousand. The cause in part is
said to be an overproduction ; consequent-
ly a meeting of the shingle manufacturers
was called to consider the situation. At
this meeting it was decided to close down
the mills until prices could be maintained
on the basis of $1.80 for clears.

Messrs. Clairmonte, Mann & Co. review
the Barbadoes lumber market as follows :
There is still a good enquiry for white
pine lumber, but the demand for spruce is
not so good, Our crop season being over.
There have been no arrivals with lumber
dnring the fortnight. Latest sales for
local use are :—White pine, $24 for mer-

FIRES.

The stave and hoop mill of Steinhoff &
Gordon at Wallaceburg, Ont., was almost
totally destroyed by fire last week, at a
loss of $8,000.

Fire on September 3rd completely de-
stroyed the saw mill of the Armstrong
Thilman Company at Hancock, Mich. The
loss is placed at $100,000.

The sash and door factory of J. H.
Giguere in Quebec, Que., was partially
destroyed by fire recently.

TIMBER LIMIT PURCHASE.

The M. Brennan & Sons Mfg. Company,
of Hamilton, are reported to have pur-
chased from the Victoria Harbor Lumber
Company, three timber berths in the town-
ships of McCraney and Finlayson, districts
of Muskoka and Nipissing. They are
virgin berths and the timber will be manu-
factured at the Huntsville mill of Brennan
& Sons. The purchase price, it is said,
was in excess of $200,000. The purchasers
will take out during the coming winter a
large quantity of saw logs and waney
timber.

PULP WOOD WANTED.

The Department of Trade and Com-
merce, Ottawa, is in receipt of an enquiry
from an American firm who desire to
purchase 500,000 cords of Canadian
Spruce pulpwood, to be delivered 25,000
cords per year for a period of twenty
years. The pulp is to be shipped to Erie,
Penn. The price offered is $3.00 per
cord free of duty at a lake port.

THE GLASGOW MARKET.

Messrs. Allison, Cousland & Co.,in their
last monthly timber market report, say :

There has been little improvement in
business during the past month. Imports
have been heavy, and in some items have
been much overdone. Good pine, how-
ever, is scarce and should sell well, but
the standard of quality generally is not im-
proving, and consequently prices are very
unsettled. Shipbuilding continues brisk,
but other industries are not too well
employed.

YELLOW PINE—Waney—The import has
been light and mostly on contract. Prices
rule firm. 19 to 20 inch average is quoted
at 3s to 3s 4d per cubic ft. Inferior wood
is scarce and good prices are obtained.
Square.—There has been a fair demand
and prices are good. st class, 35 to 40
feet, is quoted at 2s 7d to 2s od, G. F. A.
wood, zod to 22d per cu. ft.

Rep Pine—The stock is ample and little
business has been done.

E_m—Business has been brisk and prices
keep firm. Quotations—zs rod to gs 1d
for 45 to 50 feet average. Inferior wood
is quoted at 2s to 2s qd per cu. ft.

Oak—Stocks are small and there has
ae a good demand, Prices are very

rm.

BircH—Imports during the month have
been light but stocks are heavy and there
is little demand. Quotations.—17d to 18d

wood.

AsH.—Of good size is in fair demand,
but small wood.is difficult to dispose of
except at low figures.

PiNE.—Imports have been heavy, and
the bulk of goods landed has had to be
stored. The general quality has been
very poor. Firsts.—Broad are quoted at
424 158. to £28 17s. 6d. Undersized,
£19 18s. 9d. to $21 6s. 3d. Sidings, £17
17s. 6s. to £19 18s. gd. Boards and strips,
£12 7s. 6d, to G16 10s. per St. Pet. Std.
SEconps.—Are in little request and stocks
are increasing. QUOTATIONS.—Regulars

dersized, £13 18. 3d. to 415 2s. 6a.

gulars are quoted at £11 13s. 9d. to £13
1s. 3d. FourtTHSs.—Stocks are small, but

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,

It is very encouraging to find that there
are no indications of weakness in the
lumber market as the weeks pass by.
Most of the mills will continue sawing for
another month or six weeks, and with
the production perhaps a little heavier
than usual, it would not be surprising ifa
downward tendency of prices were notice-
able. However, the reverse is the case,
and the mills are certain to close
down with the market almost as strong as
it has been at any period this year. The

stock of unsold lumber will be unusally
light, as most grades of pine have been
sold close up to the saws. It is predict-
ed that there willbe a shortage in pine
stocks to supply the winter and early
spring trade, and that the result will be a
general advance in prices. _It is estimat-
ed that inthe Ottawa valley the stock of
pine lumber 1s little more than half what it
was at the corresponding time last year.
The usual scarcity of cars for the move-
ment of 1umber has developed this fall.
To analyze the market, it can be said that
the greatest strength pertains to the high
gtades and stock boards, of which the
supply is very light. Prices of these
gtades are particularly firm. The lower
qualities are not active, although during
the past week there has been a heavier
movement of cheap building lumber and
a better demand for box stuff. Manufac-
turers should as faras possible study the
demands of the market and endeavor to
curtail the production of the lower grades
next season. Hardwood prices are ir-
regular, and in the absence of the expect-
ed improvement in demand lower prices
are being quoted by a few manufacturers
who are anxious to realize. Increased
buying by consuming industries is report-
ed, but very little export trade is doing.
Lath and shingles continue scarce. It is
understood that on the Georgian Bay
there is very little No. 2 lath on the mar-
ket, and that prices of this grade are stiff-
ening.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Nothwithstanding the depression in the
British market, the outlook for spruce is
becoming brighter. No doubt a consider-
able quantity of spruce deals will be
carried over on this side until next spring,
but of specifications cut for other markets
the quantity is unusually small. Liberal
shipments have been made to France,
Australia, South America, and the West
Indies, and buyers of these stocks report
that the mills are well cleaned out. It is
probable that some of the large mills at
St. John and Fredericton will be com-
pelled to close down early in October on
account of a scarcity, of logs, about 38,-
000,000 feet being hung up on the St.
John river and its tributaries. Cedar
shingles are selling quite freely at $3, on
Boston rate of freight, and some manu-
facturers are asking even higher prices.
Clears are qnoted at $2.70 and second
clears at $2.25. Laths are strong at $3 for
15€ inch and $2.85 for 1% inch.

UNITED STATES.

White pine is this year the barometer

of the Unitea States lumber market, and
the degree of strength which that lumber
is showing is little less than astonishing.
The cutting season will be over in a few
weeks, and from present indications the

~ mills will close down with an unusually

small stock of unsold Iumber on hand to
supply the demands of the winter and
early spring. In some instances substi-
tutes have been used for white pine, so
that there has been a strengthening effect
through the entire market. Within the
past fortnight advances in price have
been made at Ashland, Wis. Six-inch
strips have been marked up to $16,’ Nor-
way to $11, short and wide stuffto $14,
while 12-inch boards have been at a pre-
mium allsummer. Saginaw dealers com-
plain of difficulty in securing the assort-
ments of white pine. A most hopeful re-
port comes from Buffalo and Tonawanda.
Dealers in these places are rushed with
orders, the higher grades of pine being
the strongest, with a good call for the
middle grades. A further stiffening in
the price of eastern spruce is reported
from New York, and at Boston and Ban-
gor the position of manufacturers is said
to be growing stronger, 10 and 12 inch
dimensions selling at $19 to $20, the
highest, except in the fall of 1899, that
has been quoted in twenty years. The
cloud hanging over the hardwood market
has not yet passed away. A slight 1m-
provement in the demand is noted in
some districts, while as an offset to this
it is stated that to effect sales low figures
must be given to meet the competition of
the weak holder. Birch and maple are
showing more strength.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The past week has developed two fac-
tors in the British timber market—one
unfavorable, the other favorable. Sum-
ming up the situation, the tone is a little
more cheerful. The unfavorable aspect
is that Norwegian and Swecish shippers
are showing pouch anxiety to close con-
tracts, and have offered to accept even
lower prices than have been recorded this
season. The low freight rates are an in-
ducement to move the timber before the
close of navigation. The hopeful out-
look is found in the reduced quantity of
deals and battens inthe public docks on
August 31st as compared with one month
earlier, At the Surrey Commercial
Docks, London, the stock of Baltic deals
on August 31st was 1,701,654 pieces, as

‘compared with 1,772,252 pieces on July

3ist. Pine deals were represented by
680,000 pieces and spruce deals by 650,-

Il.

CANADA LUMBERMAN

WEEKLY EDITION.

September 18, 1901

000 pieces, aS against 635,000 pieces and
421,000 pieces respectively on July 31st.
The stock of battens represents almost
the same proportion, which, in view of
the import during the month, shows that
the consumption has been quite heavy.
Reference to the statistics for the port of
Liverpool show that during the month of
August the consumption of ofteen of the
leading classes of timber exceeded the im-
ports, or in other words, the importation
of heavy timber amounted to 642,000 cu-
bic feet, whilst the consumption was I,-
185.000 cubic feet. In Quebec square
and waney pine, and birch logs
and planks, the demand exceeded the
import. The quantity of spruce was re-
duced during the month by 5,150 stan-
dards. Pine deals have been imported
moderately, but the consumption has been
equally small. Reports speik very hope-
fully of the market for Canadian lumber.
Referring to a recent sale the Timber
Trades Journal says: ‘‘ Canadian goods,
if we except the common kinds of red pine
that this year figure prominently in the
stock, seem to make the best prices,
though pine is much more plentiful in
stock now than it was a year ago, but this
applies to almost every class of wood.”
Of spruce the same journal says: ‘‘ For
some time past we have drawn special at-
tention to the position of the spruce mar-
ket; the limited quantity abroad for ship-
ment and the increased demand for car-
goes round the coast. The import into
Liverpool during August was 13,800
standards, just one-half of what it was
last year, and with a good demand ex-
isting the consumption for the month is
put down at 18,950 standards, which has
pulled the stock down to 15,760 stan-
dards; 1n 1900 it stood at 28,594 standards
and in 1899 at 22,252 standards. The
position of spruce is thus made plain for
the advance in prices to which we have
from time to time referred.”

Three million feet of logs in charge of
D. Cresswell and 4 000,000 feet in chirge
of D. Little came over the Fort Fiances
Falls last week for the Rat Portage Lum-
ber Company. There is yet 14,000,000
feet to come to the mill.

M. M. Tingley, of Hopewell Hill, and
Freeman Goodwin, of Moncton, N B.,
have purchased the timber on the Johnson
property near Bathurst. There is said to
be 6,000,000 feet and it is proposed to take
out 2,000,000 feet during the coming
Winter.

A two-mile berth on Little River, Sun-
bury county, N. B., was sold at the
Crown Lands office, Fredericton, last
week to Howard Holland, at $8 per mile.
Two berths in Queen's county, each two
square miles, were sold to H. B. Hether-
ington, at the upset price of $8 per mile.

At an auction sale held by Hodson,
Mabbs & Co., London, Eng., on Septem-
ber 3rd, third Quebec spruce sold at £5
1os and £8 10s for regulars. Plasterer’s
laths brought 844d, an advauce of 2d over
the prices which ruled at previous sales.
On the following day a sale was held by
Foy, Morgan & Company, when some
poor quality spruce sold at £5 7s 6d for
3X9:

Under date of August 31st Messrs. S. P.
Musson, Son & Co., say of the Barbadoes
market : ‘‘There have been no arrivals to
note during the fortnight. A small cargo
of 70,000 feet white pine boards, 20,000
feet plank, and 6,000 feet spruce boards
was put in the market, but has not been
sold. A small cargo of about 100,000
feet, half each shipping and seconds,
could doubtless be placed at about $24
and $18. Spruce is not inquired for yet
and will not be much wanted before
November. Long Gaspe and dimension
shingles are wanted and should command
fair rates. Laying cedar are saleable at
about $1.80 to $2. There have been some
sales of New York shooks for future
delivery at $1.45.”

A correspondent at West Hartlepool,
Eng., writes : “The demand for Quebec
pine deals is very quiet just now. “There
is a fair stock of 1st and grd in the port,
but 2nd are rather scarce. Round birch
does not find a ready sale at the present
time. A fair stock is held here, but en-
quiries are rare.” A Gloucester correspond-
ent says: ‘‘ Spruce is decidedly better,
and although there are still some few
sellers who do not appear to have realized
the fact that the supply to come forward
from the other side is far below the aver-
age of normal seasons, their number is
diminishing, and buyers generally are re-

nising in a substantial manner the very
much improved values, particularly in the
case of 3x9 in., whilst 3x11 in. and 7x2¥%
in., Cnsequent upon the small percentages
of those sizes now being shipped, are
bound to shortly respond to even yet a
greater advancement.’

GOVERNMENT TIMBER SALE.

The most important sale of Ontario
timber limits since the large sale of 1892
took place in the Parliament Buildings,
Toronto, in the afternoon ot Tuesday, 17th
‘nst. There was an unusually large
attendance of lumbermen from Canada
and the United States, although most 0
the limits were purchased by Canadians.
About fifteen townships were placed under
the hammer by the well known timber
limit auctioneer, Mr. Peter Ryan. The
bidding was quite brisk, resulting in the
sale at good prices of all the limits offered
excepting three forfeited berths in the
townships of Digby, Sherbourne and
Lutterworth, which were withdrawn, the
reserve bid not being reached. The total
sum realized by the sale was $733,312.50.

- CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS,
ONTARIO.

Favorable conditions characterize the
white pine lumber trade of Ontario.
Buying is beimg conducted with a little
more conservatism than earlier in the
season, but it is evident by the volume of
orders that the stccks of retail dealers are
in need of replenishment. The best grades
continue to lead in point of strength, and
some manufacturers are pursuing a
marking-up process in respect to the
prices of such of these grades as are
unsold. The poorer qualities of pine are
a shade weaker. In the Ottawa valley
attention is now turning to the prospective
purchases of next season’s production of
deals. The opinion is freely expressed
that no reduction from the prices of the
past season will be accepted by manu-
facturers. Itis pointed out that very light
stocks are being carried in mill yards. A
Georgian Bay manufacturer one week ago
announced that over 80 per cent. of his
season’s production had been contracted
for. The supply of lath does not seem to
increase. It is very scarce on the Georgian
Bay, and as a result several car-loads
were brought to Toronto last week from
Ottawa. No. 2 is particularly strong and
brings within 25 cents as muchas No. I.
The demand for hemlock has fallen cff
slightly. The current quotation f.o. b.
cars Toronto is $12, with a higher price
for long lengths. Hardwoods are begin-
ning to evince signs of improvement,
although a noticeable feature of the trade
this fall is the call for small lots,apparent-
ly showing that buyers are not afraid of
higher prices. In maple and birch stocks
are comparatively heavy.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The statement of lumber exports from
the port of Montreal shows that a policy
of contraction. is being pursued by
shippers. The exports between now and
the close of navigation are likely to be
light, although the low freight rates offer
exceptional opportunities for getting the

No 34
lumber across the Atlantic at low
cost. The timber market at Quebec is

unchanged. The quantity of white and
red pine timber measured by the Super-
visor of Cullers is about the same as last
year. Birch and maple show a decrease,
while elm and ash are about one-third
greater. Manufacturers are taking a
much more hopeful view regarding the
outlook for spruce deals. As the season
draws to aclose, it is found that the quan-
tity to be carried over until next spring is
smaller than was anticipated. In Nova
Scotia, for instance, there will be practic-
ally no spruce deals carried over, as the
South American and West Indian mar-
kets have provided an outlet for a large
percentage of the production. Cuban
cargoes are selling at $12.50, and South
American cargoes at $12 to $12.50.
French specifications represent the only
ciass of lumber that has not begun to
improve.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,

The anticipations of dealers in respect
to the volume of fall trade have so far not
been realized. The demand is more
backward than was expecied, due partly
to the continuation of the carpenters’
strike. Shiplap and granary boards are
moving freely, but dimension and com-
mon boards, of which manufacturers hold
a comparatively heavy stock, are slow
of sale. The last revision of the price
list of. British Columbia lumber, for deliv-
ery in Manitoba, made a reduction of $2
on No. 1 edge grain flooring and 2x4
and 2 x 6 dimension up to 32 ft. long, a
reduction of $1 on 2x14 up to 14x14
dimension, and of $1.500n 2x8, 2x10,
3x4 and 3x6 up to 32 ft. long. The
range of dimensions is now from $18 to”
$22. No.1 clear siding was advanced
$2.50 to $32.50, and No. 3 ceiling soc. to
$23.50. While trade is a little quiet at
present, manufacturers and dealers regard
the outlook as bright. The British
Columbia mills are fairly busy. Foreign
shipments have been quite heavy, as up
to the end of August of this year forty-
eight vessels have sailed with lumber
cargoes for foreign destinations. More
fumber has been shipped to Great Britain
than last year. It is rumored that a
syndicate, headed by Mr. J. J. Hill, is
negotiating for the purchase of all the
saw mills in British Columbia. The re-
port, however, is not- generally believed.

UNITED STATES,

The week under review covers one day
when kusiness was entirely suspended out
of respect to the obsequies of the late

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

President. The business of the other five
days has lacked the usual activity, as the
calamity which has befallen upon the
nation has had a depressing effect in com-
mercial circles generally. The anounce-
ment of the new President as to his policy
has removed many misgivings in that par-
business will now
resume its usual course. Lumber trans-
the week have been few, but
the market continues firm. The settlement
of the gigantic steel striike wil] doubtless
stimulate business operations and assist to
an active demand for lumber throughout
the fall. Itis reported that already the
call for building lumber from dealers for
stock purposesis becoming heavier. While
prices generally have not changed, some
shading of quotations for low grade inch
pine is reported, due to an accumulation
of that grade at northern producing
points. Prices of No. 3 and No. 4 boards
have also shown slight recessions, al-
though at Ashland, Wis, $25 was las
week refused for No. 3 boards and
better. Buffalo dealers have discussed
the question of making an advance of $1
per thousand on the higher grades, but it
is feared that such a step might result in
curtailing the volume of orders. Spruce
lumber is bringing high prices in Boston
for quick delivery, and in New York
prices werelast week advanced $1. Though
some of the mills are sawing to their full
capacity, they are unable to keep up with
orders. Buying from hand-to-mouth is
still the report given by the hardwood
trade. Implement, furniture and other
factories are using large quantities of
hardwoods, but they have drawn largely
upon the heavy stocks which they put in
last spring. Our Buffalo list shows that
maple-and black ash are weaker. There
is a good demand for elm and white birch.
Prices of shingles and laths are firm. The
shingle manufacturers of Washington are
again putting their mills in operation,
prices having stiffened sufficiencly to
warrant this action.

ticular, and no doubt

actions o

GREAT BRITAIN.

Buyers in Great Britain are having
tempting offers placed before them by the
shippers of Norway and Sweden. These
offers are frequently refused, which
demonstrates that no immediate recovery

in the price of Baltic woods is expected.
Turning to Canadian timber we find a
contrast which is most encouraging.
Very little stock is being offered, and the
past month has shown a marked decline
in the imports of Canadian pine and
spruce deals. . The fear is expressed that
a shortage in some sizes will develop
before the first cargoes arrive next spring.
At late auction sales spruce has shown
much strength, selling at £14 15s for 1 x
7 to 12 inch. The pine did equally well
considering the quality of the stock.
Commercial conditions throughout Great
Britain are improving, money is miore
plentiful, and building operations are
improving ; the low cost of material being
an inducement to carry out building pro-
jects. Altogether, it would seem that
low water mark in respect to Canadian
timber prices has been reached, and that
there will be a fall and winter of returning
confidence, followed by an active trade
next year.

In the London market 3x9 and 3x1II
spruce deals bring almost the same prices.
The Irish market still calls for 3 x 9 inch,
mostly 12 feet. A fairly large stock of 3 x
7 and 3x8 inch thirds and fourths and
2% x 7 inch is on the market. Birch
planks are showing an improvement, and
are being offered in very limited quanti-
ties.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

J. P. Mosher, of St. Martins, N. B., ex-

indeed. There has been very little or
nothing doing until] the last two weeks in
apple barrel stock, and while the appear-
ances are there are more apples than
people are figuring on, we do not look for
any large rush for apple barrel stock.
With regard to flour barrel stock, prices
are good, and are on the upward tendency.
There is not going to be more than
enough flour barrel stock to go around ;
in fact, this applies to all grades of No. 1
stock. Hoops are plentiful and cheap,
but the best grade of hoops are stiffening
in price ; the cheaper grade of hoops are
plentiful and very low in price. No. 1
heading is scarce, mill-run and No. 2
heading plentiful ; the consequence is,
that mannfacturers can obtain strictly
their own price for No. 1 heading, where-
as they have to accept the buyer's prices
for mill-run and No. 2 heading. The out-
look is much more favorable than it was a
few months ago, and the prospects are,
there is going to be a very good trade
this fall.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

The movement of white pine lumber
during the month of September was ofa
satisfactory volume, and judging from
the present demand there will be an
equally good trade during October. The
market cannot be called buoyant, al-
though there is a steady call for nearly
every grade of pine. That farmers are
making improvements to buildings is
evidenced by the report from retail
dealers of a heavier sale of low grade
stock. While stocks at the mills are
comparatively light, the supply of the
low grades is the heaviest. There isa
scarcity of 12-inck boards and the best
qualities of pine generally, and the
opinion is frequently expressed that next
year all grades of white’ pine above box
will be advanced in price. A factor
which will assist to this end is the high
price that is being paid for labor, both
at the mills and in the woods. Repre-
sentative shippers tothe British market
are understood to have been negotiating
with some manufacturers for the purchase
of next season’s cut, and it is probable
that sales wili take place on about the
same basis as this year. Hemlock is a
trifle weaker.

Reports from Western Oatario state
that the hardwood market is improving
from week to week, and that the demand
is now quite active. It is believed that
the worst has been passed and that there
will be liberal buying during the next
two months by dealers and consumers.
A few manufacturers still report a dull
trade, but the consensus of reports is

that an improvement hassetin. The pro-
duction of logs during the coming winter
is likely to be quite limited, and we
would not be surprised if higher prices
for hardwoods would be witnessed after
the turn of the year, if not before.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Reports regarding the spruce lumber
market are of a favorable character.
Manufacturers regard the outlook for
next season as very hopeful, and expect
that there will be a substantial advance
in prices. In Montreal, while the con-
sumption of all grades of lumber is quiet,
common grades remain firm, ana for the
better grades an advance is being ob-
tained by retailers. Thick good pine
sidings are in good demand and scarce.
For spruce and cedar shingles there is a
fair demand. In the eastern provinces
cedar shingles are very strong, $3 being
the ruling quotation for extras on Boston
rate of freight. Clapboards are also
strong and in very light supply. Laths
are well sustained at the recent advance,
selling for Boston delivery at $3 for 154
inch, and at $2.80 to $2.85 for 134 inch.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The strike of Winnipeg carpenters
which was instituted on August 8th has
been declared off, the men returning to
work upon the same terms as existed
previous to the strike. Consequently,
building operations are expected to be
quite active this fall, but as the carpen-
ters announce that they will make the
same demand upon the employers next
January, no doubt an indisposition will
be shown by speculators to undertake
large building projects. Within the past
week there has been heavy buying of
common boards, dimensions and shiplap,
and as soon as threshing is finished low
grade boards will commence to move
freely. Wheat is yielding from 20 to 35
bushels per: acre, and at an average
price of 56 cents per bushel farmers
should be enabled to make needed im-
provements. Shipments from British
Columbia have been fairly heavy, -partic-
ularly to Manitoba and the Territories,
one mill reporting an increase of 15 per
cent. over those of last year. It is prob-
able that there will be an early advance in
the price of British Columbia lumber.
While export business has been good,
present prices leave a small margin of
profit.

is quoted at $18 to $24, box at $14 to $15;
and millculls at $12. While the demand
is mostly for cutting-up stocks, there is
no lack of call for the cheaper grades. A
Buffalo dealer has just sold 500,000 feet of
box. Stocks of spruce are getting scarce,
and a stiffening in price is to be noted,
Boston prices are $19 to $20 for 10 and

improvement in hardwoods, although
opinionsdiffer as to whether this will bere-

GREAT BRITAIN.

The situation in the timber trade of
Great Britain is still one of uncertainty.
Baltic shippers hold large stocks which

price has not been sufficient ta tempt
buyers to load up to any extent. On the
smaller sizes the decline has been quite
While in respect to Canadian
goods the outlook is more hopeful, prices
have been sympathetically affected by
the low quotations for deals and battens
put forward by the Riga shippers. Were
it not for this aspect it is believed that
there would be a sharp recovery in
prices, as stocks are not excessive and
importers are showing a disposition to
replenish their supplies. The Timber
Trades Journal in referring to the spruce
and pine market says: “ The improve-
ment in the spruce market has been well
maintained, and a distinct advance must
be recorded. Agents have very few
cargoes unsold’ and for these full prices
are being asked. For a seven hundred
standard cargo of unfloated spruce from
St. Margaret’s Bay,’of very poor specifi-
cation, consisting chiefly of 7-inch, 49,
10s. 1s being asked, while for a similar
cargo of Halifax deals to the west coast,
we are told that over 47 is demanded.
There are also indications in London of
firmness in the better quality of Quebec
pine, and there is no doubt that the
present stock is inadequate. The mere
fact of shippers offering merchants very
considerable sums to cancel unfulfilled
contracts shows the healthy position. A
considerable portion of the stock on hand
is composed of red pine, which by no
means take the place of white pine from
the St. Lawrence.” On the other hand,
we read in the Timber News that Cana-
dian spruce prices are a shade easier.
Third quality deals are procurable at £9
5S per standard in thé docks,with seconds
at 5s advance, whilst the Quebec and
Montreal shippers are accepting £8 5s
for October- November shipping.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION

October 2, 1901

$5 down, showing an advance within six
weeks of $10 per thousand feet. All
thicknesses of yard picks and Nos. 1 and
2cuts were also advanced from $1 to $3 a

housand. This is not a case of merely
putting up the figures, but he lumber is
being actually held firm at those prices.
Concerning the Barbadoes lumber mar-
ket Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Com-
pany say: No arrivals have taken place
since September ist, and o oe Ewe deal-
ers are in want of white pine. Wecou d

readily place a small cargo of half each
of shipping and second
$24 and $18 respectively. 5 nk
much in demand at this season and will

quality, at about
1 )

pruce is not

not be much before November. There
have been no arrivals of shingles, and
Long Gaspe are wanted. Asmall lot have
been placed at $4 and we think first re-
ceipts should bring about this figure.
Dimension shingles are also wanted and
would bring full rates. Cedar laying

shingles are in fair stock, but owing to the
scarcity of Gaspe are being worked off,
and a cargo would bring between $1.80
and $2. Another cargoof Portland shooks
has lately been sold at $1.70.

A new price list was put into effect at
Cleveland, Ohio, on September 16th, mak-
ing an advance of from $2 to $3 on some
grades of lumber. Dry lumber continues
scarce and the amount on hand less than
at the beginning of last month. Dry
uppers in 1, 1%, 134 and 2-inch bring
$65 a thousand feet ; selects in same
thicknesses, $55 ; fine common, $50 ; No.
1 shop, 1%, 1% and 2-inch, $45. The
only change noted in any of the commoner
grades was in 1 x 12 No. 3 to $21 and in
1x8 No. 3 to $19, Norway is very firm
at the list and a slight advance in this
may be looked for soon. There isa good
demand for hemlock boards and bill stuff
and the prices on these are easy.
Shingles of all kinds are exceedingly
scarce and it does not seem possible to
accumulate any. Prices on 18-inch white
cedars and red cedars have advanced 25
cents. Lath of all kinds are firm at the
new list : No. 1 white pine, $3.50; No. 2
white pine and No. 1 norway, $3.25 ; No.
2 norway, $2.75, and No. 1 hemlock, $3,
and stocks in all yards are exceedingly
light for the season.

TIMBER PROPERTIES CHANGE HANDS.

Two important transactions in timber
properties have taken place within the
past week. It is reported that negotiat-
ions have been completed for the sale to
Robert Hurdman, of Ottawa, of the
Klock Bros.’ timber limits on the Kip-
pewa, embracing about 100 square miles.
They are perhaps the largest limits in the
Kippewa district and are located around
Ross lake. The purchase price is in the
vicinity of $380,000. The Quebec Bank
has an interest in the sale, and all that is
required to complete the deal is the
sanction of the bank to the transfer, which,

although withheld, will likely be granted in

a few days.

Newton Pugsley, B. L. Tucker, E. R.
Reid, P. A. Holmes and Adams Baird, all
of Parrsboro, N. S., have purchased from
S. P. Benjamin, of Wolfville, his East
Avon timber lands, containing 17,000
acres. The price paid was $55,000. The
new owners of this valuable property will
commence operations at once with a view
to getting out a large cut next winter.

TIMBER LIMIT SALE.

Mr. Peter Ryan will offer for sale, at
the Board of Trade Building, Toronto, on
Wednesday, December 18th, at 2 p. m.,
another lot of valuable timber limits. The
berths are known as A, B, Cand D, being
33, 1334, 17%, and 283 square miles
respectively, on the north shore of Lake
Huron, comprising berth No. 10 of the
sale of 1885. The limits are virgin timber
and are very convenient for operating.
Maps and other particulars may be
obtained from Mr. Ryan at the Registry
office, Richmond street, west, Toronto.

M. L. Jantze, Newton, Ont., is offering
his saw mill for sale.

The assignment is announced of Gilles-
pie & Grier, planing mill owners, Parry
Sound, Ont.

Robert Kilpatrick, lumber dealer, Lady-

L. J. Tweedie and A. H. Hannington

The firm of G. Z. Schuyler & Company,
corner East 98th street and First Avenue,
New York, is announced to have assigned.
Established in 1835, a large business in
lumber and building materials has since
been conducted. The:failure is attributed
partly to the stringency of the new build-
ing and tenement laws in that city which
has checked the activity of their customers
and de ayed them in meeting their obliga-
tions. ‘The liabilities are said to be about
$100,000 and the assets $75,000.

FIRES.

The lumber yard of Arthur Paquet,
corner Notre Dame and Harbor streets,
Montreal, was partially destroyed by fire
last week. The loss is estimated at
$7,000.

A saw mill at Terra Nova, Ont,,
operated by R. H. Little, of Lisle, was
burned recently, together with 75,000
feet of lumber.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

The demand for lumber has shown a
slight falling off during the past week.
Considerable building is in progress
throughout the province, but as most of
the required lumber has been purchased,
the demand is largely dependent upon
the requirements for consumption during
the late fall and winter. There seems to
be a disposition on the part of consumers
to defer purchasing in the hope that prices
may decline. There are some who think
that with the cessation of building
operations will come a reduction in the
price of lumber, but general conditions
seem to be against such a result. The
white pine mills in the Ottawa valley and
Georgian Bay district are carrying com:
paratively light stocks, while the scarcity
and high cost of labor and the possibility
of interruption from small-pox is likely to
reduce the log production of the coming
winter very considerably. When these
facts are given consideration, there does
not seem to be much ground on which to
base a prediction of lower prices. Of
course, the market will be governed by
the law of supply and demand, but there
is no reason to expect any marked falling
off in the consumption of lumber. At
the present time pine prices are going
through a process of adjustment, after
which they will settle down to a winter
basis. The grades above common are
being marked up about $1 per thousand,
while a slight reduction is being made in
the price of some of the lower grades.
For 1x12 mill culls from $11 to $12 at the
mills is being asked. No. 1 pine lath
rangé from $2.25 to $2.50, and No, 1
hemlock lath from $1.50 to $2. For best
quality pine shingles from $2.25 to $2.40
at the mill is asked.

Hardwoods are moving more freely,
and apparently consumers are replenish-
ing their supply for the winter. Prices
are steady. Inch mil run elm and maple
are held by manufacturers at $13, birch
at $16 and oak at $20.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Wet weather and recent labor troubles
in Winnipeg have caused a falling off in
the demand for lumber throughout the
Northwest Territories. Wholesale deal-
ers and manufacturers report less activ-
ity, and while prices are unchanged, it is
possible to purchase lumber on terms
more favorable to the buyer. Almost
any length of time can be had on a good
order. Finishing material is being called

for quite largely, on account of the num-
ber*of buildings in Winnipeg nearing
completion. British Columbia spruce
flooring has been advanced to $31 and
$27 for No. 1 and No. 2 respectivdly. In
hardwood lumber the only change is an
advance of $1.50 per thousand in the
price of maple flooring.
UNITED STATES.

The demand for white pine lumber has
shown no abatement, although the lum-
ber market as a whole isa trifle unsettled
on account of the uncertain conditions
governing yellow pine. That lumber has
shown evidences of weakness east of the
Mississippi river, where the expected de-
mand has not developed, and it is feared
that dealers in this lumber may endeavor
to get it into the white pine territory and
that a policy of price-cutting may follow.
The conditions in the Lake Superior dis-
trict are most favorable to white pine.
The shipments from Minneapolis during
the month of September were 2,000,000
feet greater than during the same month
in i900, while those from Ashland, Wis.,
show an increase of 16,000,000 feet. At
Duluth it is estimated that there is not
over 10,000,000 feet of No. 3 and better
lumber unsold on the docks. Prices
there are unchanged excepting that No.
4and No. 5 boards have stiffened up.
Piece stuff and No. I and 2 boards are in
the greatest demand in Chicago. The
east is buying very liberally, and there
is a dearth of boats to carry lumber from
Buffalo and Tonawanda to the eastern
market. Dealers at Tonawanda report
that orders are being received in com
paratively large numbers, and that stocks
are still broken, despite the efforts of
dealers to get consignments from the
west as quickly as possible. Hemlock is
showing more strength and one or two
Buffalo dealers are making an effort to
advance the price owing to the heavy
orders. Spruce lumber is firm with light
offerings. In Boston 10 and 12-inch
dimension is selling at $20, in New
York at $18 to $21, and in Bangor the
market is strong on the basis of $15
for randoms. There continues to be a
good demand for lath and shingles.
Lath 1s scarce and is worth from $2.25 to
$2.75 at Duluth. No. 1 18-inch white
pine shingles bring $4.25 at Buffalo.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The future course of the timber market
of Great Britain is still uncertain, al-
though the prospects are brighter than
they have been during the past six
months. A disturbing factor is the

possibility of a scarcity of money and the
nervousness which is shown at some of
the leading financial centres of Europe.
In England the consumption of wood
continues large, and as the import of the
past month has been light, stocks are
becoming reduced. There promises to
be a very light import during the fall

month. Last year at ‘this time there
were [oI cargoes afloat for London, but
this year the number 1s only 28. Import-

ers are watching with much interest the
action of manufacturers and shippers,
as it is admitted that a curtailment of
production is necessary in order that
prices may move up to a proper basis.
The Scandinavian shippers have taken
a firm stand and universally agreed to
reduce the log production of the coming
winter by at least 28 per cent. If this
agreement is adhered to it should go a
long ways towards restoring confidence.
There has been a further improvement in
the price of spruce deals. A large cargo
from St. John, N. B., has been sold at £6
12s 6d per standard c.i.f. Sharpness,
and other contracts at corresponding
figures are said to be pending. There is
a shortage of the best deals in 9 and II
inch,and at recent auction sales ‘hese sizes
have brought high prices. Pine deals
have also shown a tendency to advance
owing to the strong position taken by
shippers.

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.

Owing to the long continued drouth in
eastern Quebec and New Brunswick, and
resultant closing of a large number of
mills from inability to get their logs,
shingles are scarce and daily growing
scarcer. So far as we can learn there are
very light stocks on hand, and the going

facturers who are lucky enough to have
unsold any shingles in two best grades,
and more especially in Extras, can get al-
most any price inreason. The manufact-
urers are now asking an almost uniform
price of $3.00 for Extras. However, for

is quite steady.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

The steamer Puelva is loading deals at
St. John, N. B., for the United Kingdom.

The steamer Salfordia is loading lumber
at the Hastings mill, Vancouver, B.C., for
a foreign port.

It is reported that J. A. Ellis, of Fenelon
Falls, Ont., has sold his drive of logs to
S. Parkin, of Lindsay.

J. J. Thompson and John Leggat, both
of Hamilton, have formed a partnership
for the purpose of working a large timber
limit near Huntsville this winter.

During September two cargoes of lum-
ber were shipped from Ashland, Wis., to
Canada, one boat taking 75,502 feet and
the other 153,000 feet.

Of the hemlock situation a New York
dealer says: ‘‘The Pennsylvania mills
are sold ahead fully 25,000,000 feet, of
which 5,000,000 feet are boards, which are
scarce and high. As for our own parti-
cular firm, we have sold fully four times
as much hemlock this month as we did all
September last year.”

ST. JOHN RIVER LOG PRODUCTION.

Men are now well at work in the woods
in New Brunswick, and in a few weeks the
operators expect to have reasonably large
forces at their command. There is much
difficulty in getting the required numbsr of
men, although wages are higher. The
average rate of wages last year was $21 to
$22 per month. This year the average is
$25 to $26. Supplies too are costing more
this year than last. Pork, for instance,
which cost $18a barrel duty paid, last
year, is bringing $24 a barrel this year.
Beans cost $1.60 per bushel last fall, this
year the price is $2.25. Oats brought 35
a bushel last year ; this year 40 cents, and
hay is more expensive because it is scarcer
than last year. The cut on the St. John
river last fall and winter was from 140,000,
000 to 145,000,000 feet. It is estimated that
this winter the cut will be about 125,000,-
ooo, and for the following parties :

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.

ONTARIO.
The lumber trade of Ontario is moving
along in a satisfactory manner. There is
special activity in the movement of stock
by vessel, buyers being anxious to take
advantage of the water rate. While few
lafge transactions are reported, a number
of small lots have changed hands, and
the disposition to buy shown by dealers
is an indication that lower prices are not
expected. A lot of about 2,000,000 feet,
manufactured at an Algoma mill, was
sold last week in the Toronto market at a
satisfactory figure. Finishing material is
moving quite freely, as many buildings are
now nearing completion. If the winter
should be open, considerable building will
likely be done, as there are several large
projects inthe hands of architects to be
catried out as soon: as possible. The
luntbernren complain of a shortage of-cars
to move stocks. In some instances it has
seriously interfered with trade owing to
inability to fill orders. What the Jog pro-
duction will be during the coming winter
is amatter of some speculation, but the
trade is inclined to the opinion that it
will be smaller than last year owing to the
high cost of labor and supplies and other
causes previously referred to. Hardwoods
are showing a little more strength on the
expectation of an increased demand and
a curtailment of production next year.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
From the standpoint of demand, spruce
lumber has improved. There has been
some buying for the United States
market, and considerable enquiry regard-
ing stock for shipment next year. Two
large cargoes cleared last week from St.
John for Australia, and a number of
cargoes from other provincial ports for
the United Kingdom, while there con-
tinues to be the usual shipments to South
America and the West Indies. The past
season has been very unprofitable for
many manufacturers in New Brunswick,
inasmuch as many of their logs are still
hung up, which has necessitated the
closing down of their mills. This cir.
cumstance, coupled with the scarcity of
labor and high wages, is likely to greatly
curtail the logging operations of the
coming winter, and some of the best
authorities predict that the production of
spruce lumber in the season of 1902 will
be much smaller than during the season
now closing. Numerous enquiries are
being received by manufacturers for cedar
shingles, which are selling at $3 on
Boston rate of freight, and higher prices

are predicted. Large shipments of lath
have been made to Philadelphia.

UNITED STATES.

The past week has witnessed further
favorable developments in the lumber
trade of the United States. Yellow pine
is showing more strength, and the appre-
hension that white pine might suffer asa
result of price cutting by the manufactur-
ers of yellow pine is now almost dispelled.
There is a large current demand and
numerous enquiries for future delivery.
At the head of the lakes there is a short-
age of 12 inch boards and wide 2 inch
dimensions. Sales have been made with-
in the past week at $13 for No. 3 boards.
From Toledo, Ohio, comes the report
of an advance of one dollar on 18 foot
Norway joists, making the price $17. The
eastern market is quite buoyant. Con-
sumers are buying heavily, and are not so
exacting in respect to price and grade as
was the case throughout the summer.
There is a scarcity of piece stuff and all
high grade lumber, and the dealer who
has any quantity of this stock is holding
out for fancy prices, which he will no
doubt be able to obtain. Low grades are
selling on a small margin of profit, and
are not likely to be advanced in relation
tothe high grades owing tothe available
supply. In Northern New England the
scarcity of spruce timber is becoming
more apparent as the log season
advances. The mills are busy filling
orders, and the demand is increasing.
Prices range about $1.50 above the last
established list. No significant change
can be reported in the hardwood situation.
The market is moving along quietly, but
there seems to be no indication of a sub-
stantial improvement in the near future,
There is a fairly good demand for birch
and maple. Lath is more plentiful at
Buffalo and Tonawanda, the receipts from
the upper lakes having been quite heavy
of late. There is a brisk demand for
shingles, dealers being unable to keep
up with their orders. White cedars are
selling in Chicago at $2.65 for 8 inch
and $2.75 and up for Io inch.

GREAT BRITAIN.

Timber importers and‘dealers in Great
Britain are getting more confident that
the turning point inthe market has been
reached and that prices have touched
rock bottom. The consumption during
the month of September was, almost
without exception, greater than the im-
port, and consequently stocks of lumber
show a reduction in comparison with one

If.

month earlier. The stock at London is
proportionately heavier than at other

ports. In the Surrey Commercial Docks
there was on September 3oth of this year
760,320 pieces of spruce deals, as com-

pared with 598,285 pieces one year ago.
At Liverpool the stock of spruce deals 1s
l as against 28,000
pieces one year ago. Quebec pine deals
are represented in Liverpool by 13,000
pieces, an increase of 4,000 pieces over
the corresponding period in 1900. Trade
circulars to hand state that stocks are
being held with considerable firmness,
and if this policy 1s continued lower
prices may be said to be out of
the question. Theres adearth of Cana-
dian deals and timber of the higher
grades, but complaint 1s made that the
stock of inferior grades is too heavy.
Quebec pine deals range from £22 to £28
per standard for first quality, £17 to £20
for second quality, and 411 to £12 for
third quality. Quebec spruce deals are
quoted from £6 10s to £8 10s, and New
Brunswick spruce deals from £6 to £7
tos. Prices for 7 and 8 x3 inch deals
are weak, but 9 inch are wanted. Waney
pine timber has been imported very
moderately and is firm in price, while
square pine is dull of sale. Best rock
elm timber is wanted and brings from
3s 1d to 3s 2d per cubic foot. Birch
timber ranges from 15d to 173d for 13 to
15 inch average.

only 15,000 pieces,

SS

THE GLASGOW MARKET.

From Edmiston & Mitchell's monthly
timber circular of 30th September we ex-
tract the following : We annex the usual
comparative statement of stock of timber
and deals at this date. In Quebec goods,
red pine logs are considerably less than
for the last two years, and elm and ash
considerably more ; while in deals, though
there is an increase on the past year of
4,000 standards, it has to be borne in
mind that last year’s stock was abnormally
low, being less than half of the previous
year's. The consumption of log timber
during the nine months amounts to about
94,500 loads, against 81,300 loads, and
35,400 standards deals, against 38,475
Standards last year. Business this past
month has been, on the whole, rather
quiet, buying being rather of a retail char-
acter, and prices have not moved much
either way. Scotch shipbuilders have
launched during September 17 vessels,
representing 40,910 tons, as compared
with 16 vessels of 27,000 tons for same
month last year. A fair number of new
orders have been booked during the
month, the aggregate being about 35,000
tons, which is about the same as last
month.

BircH.—Quebec.—The import for Sep-
tember amounts to 200 loads, and has all
gone into store. A few retail sales have
been made during the month at prices
ranging from 15 to 174d. for 13 to 15 inch
average, but there is only a very languid
demand, and prices show no evidence of
improvement. Birch Planks.—The stock
is unusually heavy, and prices are most
unsatisfactory. A small shipment of
Halifax planks which arrived recently was
sold at £5 10s. c.i.f.

Asu.—The import for the month is about
110 loads, which has gone intostore. The
stock on hand at this time is heavy com-
pared with recent years, and there is very
little demand or it, owing partly to the
dullness of the furniture trade, and partly

to the fact that other woods are now sub-

stituted for ash, such as soft elm, etc.
Nominal value of good 14% inch is about
2s, 2d., but the bulk of the ash on hand is
inferior.

Waney BOARDWOOD.-—A noticeable feat-
ure is the falling-off in the import of. this
well-known manufacture of white pine
logs, which only amounts to 2,510 loads,
while square timber—3,526 loads—makes
up the balance of the white pine imports.
Sales are anything but lively, and the dis-
appointed consumer who expected to buy
cheaper will only buy from hand to mouth.
45 cubic feet average wood is reported
sold at 3s. 1d., while some very long tim-
ber of abont 19 inches average fetched 3s.
3d. Shost, girthy wood is scarce, while
for good second-class timber we hear 2s.
6d. is being asked. The consumption has
been fair, and the stock on hand is excep-
tionally light.

SouarE WHITE Pins.—Owing to the
scarcity of waney pine, consumers will
sooner or later have to resort to square,
but inthe meantime, as the former can be
got, the latter is left severely alone, waney
being much preferred by converters, We
hear of a sale of freshly-imported timber
24 feet and up, 45 cubic feet average ;
price, however, has not transpired. Short
16-inch wood is worth 2s. 5d., while 2s.
has been paid for fair ayerage.

Rep Pine Locs.—Owing to an abnorm-
ally small import, combined with a full
average consumption, the stock of 500
loads is exceedingly light. The outlet for
this timber in any quantity is exceedingly
limited. The present market value is
about 1s. 9d. for 45 cubic feet average.

Oak.—There has been a fair demand,
and the nine months’ consumption com-
pares favourably with previous years. It
is gratifying to see this, for our railway
companies, who are the chief consumers,
have been buying most sparingly. There
are several inquiries for long wood 48 or
50 feet and up.

E_m. —This year’s imports have, on the
whole, not been very satisfactory, and
there seems to be a growing difficulty in
obtaining the hard rock elm that used to
come forward so regular in quality. Now
hard grey and soft logs are to be found in
all shipments. The stock, which is large,
contains a considerable percentage of soft
wood. Really first-class rock elm is in de-
mand, and can be sold at gs. 1d. to 3s. 2G5
but soft wood is a drug.

Deas, &c.—Business during the month
has been quiet. Several fair lines were
cleared ‘‘ex quay,’ but yarded goods
have been difficult to move. The stock of
white pine deals, while heavier than at
this time last year, is low, and prices of the
better qualities are almost certain to
harden. Prices of red pine deals, owing
to the heavy import, are weak. Current
values are as under: Broad first pine
deals, £26 to £29; 11-inch, 423 to £253
ends and non-dimensions, 418 to £22.
Second pine deals, 11-inch and up, £18
10s. to £21 ; non-dimensions, £12 tos. to

#15. Third pine deals.—11-inch and up,
#11 15s. to £12 10s.; ends and narrows,
£8 10s. to £10. Fourth pine deals.—
11-inch and up, 410 to 10 15s. ; narrows,
£8 5s. to £8 15s. Red pine deals.—Nine
and 11-inch, £8 Ios. to £9 Ios. ; narrows,
475s. to £7 15s. First pine sidings and
strips.—£14 to £22, according to specifi-
tation. Spruce deals,—g inch and up,
£8 to £8 15s.; 7 and 8 inch, £6 tos. to
47 5S

The steamer Loughrigg Holme has sailed
from Montreal for London with a full cargo
of deals.

It is reported that men are asking as
high as $40 per month to go into the woods
in the Mississippi Valley this winter.

A quantity of pine from Montreal was
sold at an auction sale in London on Oc-
tober 2nd at the following prices: 12-18
tt., 4x9 in., second quality red, £11 Ios.
per std. ; 12-18 ft., 3x8 in., first quality

On the Barbados lumber market Messrs.
S. P. Musson, Son & Company say : There
have been no arrivals of either white pine
or spruce during the fortnight, and our
market is in good condition for first re-
ceipts. We could place one or two car-
goes of white pine with full proportions of
second quality at $24.50 and $16 respec-
tively ; if no immediate arrivals take
place, an advance on these rates may be
obtained. In spruce there is some en-
quiry, and we value a couple of cargoes,
each of about 100,000 feet shipping and
50,000 second quality, in the neighborhood
of $18.50 and $14.50 respectively. The
only arrival of shingles to report is a
small lot by a Canadian steamer, which
sold as follows : Long Gaspe, $4.21 ;
8-inch, $8.05 ; 7-inch, $7.86 ; 6-inch,
$6.96 ; 5-inch, $5.71 ; 4-inch, $.g1. Lay-
ing shingles are wont from $1.80 to $2.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Influenced by the favorable conaitions
existing across the border, Canadian
white pine is exhibiting a marked degree
of strength. When it is considered that
the building season will soon draw to a
close, that the British demand has been
less active than usuaJ, and that there is
some uncertainty as to the volume. of ex-
port trade next year, it is very significant
that prices hold so firm. It has been well
illustrated this season that our pine is
wanted in the United States, as shipments
have been made to the Chicago market,
Michigan and the Eastern States. The
buying for Michigan yards has beena
feature of the year. Small lots are still
being picked up, and the yards will carry
very light stocks at the close of navigation.
The Parry Sound mills are shipping
heavily by vessel. In the Ottawa district
trade is quite brisk and prices unchanged.
General complaint is made by operators
of the difficulty in securing men for the
woods, even though the wages offered are
higher than last year. There will likely
be a reduced cut of both white and red
pine, but particularly of the latter, which
was taken Out too heavily last season.
Furniture and implement factories are
buying some hardwoods. From Western
Ontario comes the report of an increased
number of enquiries. While trade is not
brisk, the movement is sufficient to keep
prices firm.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Whenever an opinion is expressed re-
garding the spruce trade, it is that the
conditions are favorable to a large volume
of business and higher prices next year.
Although no figures are available, it is be-
lieved that the stock now awaiting ship-
ment is very small, and that the winter-
ing stock at Quebec will be compara-
tively light. Enquiries received from
Great Britain prove that buyers there are
anxious to arrange for their supply for
next year. While New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia’ spruce does not exhibit the

same degree of strength as the Quebec
product, recent shipments have greatly
curtailed the quantity of stock in the
hands of manufactures, and a feeling of
confidence is exhibited by the trade.
Large shipments are being made to Bos-
ton and other eastern points, where Io
and 12-inch dimensions are quoted at
$20, and 2 x 3 and 2 x 4, Io feet and up,
at $16. Higher prices are named for
cedar shingles. Some small manufac-
turers are offering extras at $3 on Boston
rate of freight, but it is known that sales
have been made as high as $3.20. Clears
are quoted at $2.75 to $2.85, second clears
at $2.35 to $2.40 ; saps at $2.10 to $2.20;
and extra No.1 at $175 to $1.80.

UNITED STATES.

The reports of the United States lum-
ber market forsome weeks past have been
largely a repetition, and again this week
it must be said that there is a very strong
undertone and a liberal distribution of
lumber. Freight rates have advanced
and are now quoted at $3 from Lake
Superior to Buffalo and other eastern
points. Itis thought that they will go
still higher and'it seems very probablethat
a large quantity of lumber purchased ;by
eastern dealers will remain on the docks
at the head of the lakes through the
winter. There is some doubt whether
eastern dealers will have sufficient stock
to carry them through entil the spring,
particularly as the east is expected to buy
quite heavily during the next few months.
In door and mill work an enormous busi-
ness 1s being done, and there is a pro-
nounced scarcity in several items of stock
goods. Chicago is one of the strong
points, the condition of the white pine
market there being similar to that during
1899. If anything, the demand at present
is stronger andthe scarcity more pro-
nounced. No. 1 12 inch .boards are in
short supply. At a recent meeting of
Chicago dealers short piece stuff was ad-
vanced So cents, and long piece stuff from
$1 to $1.50, while one or two other items
were advanced $2. The better grades of
white pine continue to be in urgent de-
mand and still higher prices are predicted.
Eastern spruce prices are stiffening.
Drives that it was feared would be hung up
haue now reached the mills, making con-
ditions more satisfactory for the manu-
facturer. Reports regarding the} hard-
wood trade are somewhat conflicting.
Some dealers report an improvement,
while others are equally certain that the
volume of trade is no greater. Furniture

manufacturers appcar to be buying more
liberally. Laths are in greater supply,
while shingles are scarce and below the
demand.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The steady falling off in the volume of
imports” is imparting a strong tone to the
British timber market. The Board of
Trade returns show that the import of
hewn and sawn timber into the United
Kingdom for the first nine months of
this year was 7,038,369 loads, against
7,136,769 loads for corresponding months
of last year. While the shipping season
will not close for a couple of months,
the amount of chartering shows that
very little stock is hkely to be imported
into Great Britain during the balance of
the season. There is some fear lest the
shippers of Norway and Sweden should
overstock the market, in which case Cana-
dian timber would be sympathetically
affected. The opinion is gaining ground,
however, that by next spring the market
will again be on a sound footing. The
reported improvement in spruce deals has
been maintained, although buying is by
no means active. Business has been done
at 48 per standard for 3 x 9 third quality
c. i. f. London, although most agents are
asking £8 Ios c. i. f., or £9 2s 6d landed.
Spruce deals are weaker at Glasgow than
at other ports. The Timber Trades
Journal says that the position of Quebec
spruce in the London market is a strong
one, and stocks are light, some sizes be-
ing very scarce. It is learned that a mer-
chant accepted compensation for cancel-
ling a transaction for 3x1I second
spruce, simply because the shippers could
not obtain the goods to fill the contract.
Canadian pine is likewise stronger. Al-
though the stock of pine deals is heavier
than it was at this time last year, it is
pointed out that twelve months ago ship-
ments were made much later, whereas
this year practically the whole season’s
import has arrived. First and second
qualities are very scarce in first hands.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.

[Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN

Business in local lumber circles has been
brisk during the past six weeks. Quota-
tions show no change. In the better
grades the maximum figures are quoted
oftener than those ranging towards the
minimum. The stock available for first
buyers is small. In fact the supply of one
line, white pine shingles, has been practi-
exhausted. Lath prices continue
Wholesale quotations given by a
leading local firm are as follows : No. 1,

cally
firm.

the lumber was transterred to barges for
New York. As the date of the close of
navigation approaches, local shippers
show an increasing desire to rush stock
before the higher winter rates come in
force. A scarcity of cars 1s complained
of by several dealers. The rush of North-
West grain has created a demand on the
rolling stock that has left the local supply
short. One shipper stated to-day that he
has_been waiting on cars over two weeks,
and expects to hear daily of the cancel-
lation of the orders owing to delay in
delivery.

$2.00 to $2.25; No. 2, $1.40 to $1.75.
From present indications a further ad-
vance may be expected.

During the past six weeks shipments
have been brisk by rail to Albany, where

The local labor market has been de-
pleted to satisfy the demand for men for
the limits. Wages have advanced to an
unprecedented figure. Road cutters com-

mand $24 a month, with free board. Ex-
perienced square timber hewers are se-
curing the top-notch figures, $45 a month
and board. Fully 3,500 men have been
sent out of Ottawa in the last ten weeks,
When the mills close next month a large
contingent will be forwarded. Skilled
labor is scarce. Men have been sent from
Ottawa to work in the Adriondacks, as
well as on Canadian limits.

The lumber kings are up in arms
against the recent increase in assessment,
by which the lumber stock is rated as per-
sonal property for the first time. The
Export Lumber Company’s figures have
been raised from $20,000 to $100,000, the
W. C. Edwards Co.’s from $10,000 to
$75,000, and the John R. Booth’s from
$40,000 to $250,000. An appeal will be
made. As much of this lumber has been
sold to other parties and is merely piled
here during the seasoning process, await-
ing shipment to the American and English
markets, the local mill-men claim they
shouldn't be assessed for it.

October 23, 190,

The action of Mr. W. C. Edwards,
M.P., in securing the services of a doctor
in his lumber camps to guard against
smallpox is looked on in high favor here.
Other lumbermen are considering the ad-
visability of following suit.

The largest lumber deal recorded in
Ottawa in several years was that involving
the transfer of the Klock limits in the
Kippewa district. The limits, which are
228 miles in extent, were sold by R. H.
Klock & Co. to Robert Hurdman, of
Ottawa, for $385,000.. The timber is re-
ported to be plentiful and of a high grade.
Klock & Co. still hold a considerable area
of timber lands, including some 300 miles
on the Temiscamingue and Quinze rivers.

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR LUMBERMEN.

Lumbermen wishing to increase their
holdings of timber will be given an oppor-
tunity of securing an excellent limit on
December 18th, when Mr. Peter Ryan
will offer for sale at the Board of Trade
Rooms, Toronto, Townships 111 and 117,
known as Gough and Dunlop. These
townships are situated on the north shore
of Lake Huron and comprise 36 square
miles. The purchaser will be permitted
to take off not only the pine, but all other
varieties of timber, of which there is a
considerable quantity.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Manufacturers express absolute satis-
faction with the volume of orders for
white pine lumber, and seem confident
that current prices will continue through-
out the winter. There is more building
in progress than at the corresponding
time last year. In Toronto work is about
to be started on a large apartment house
to cost $150,000, and several other large
buildings are projected and will be com-
menced this fall or early in the spring.
Mech building is under way in Ottawa,
where contractors are finding difficulty in
securing workmen.

The remarkable strength of the pine
market is no doubt due in part to the al-
most certainty of a short log crop this
winter on account of the many difficulties
with which operators in the woods are
meeting. Manufacturers are refusing to
contract for logs at the prices which job-
bers are asking, while it 1s not Jikely that
those who put in their own camps will
Operate very heavily. Many reports are
heard that the movement of lumber is be-
ing curtailed by the scarcity of cars. A
Georgian Bay manufacturer writes that
he is unable to fill orders, and that he
looks for an advance in the price of hem-
lock and some grades of pine. Hard-
woods are moving more liberally, severa
large shipments having lately been made
to the United States. Mill owners are
asking $15 for mill run ash, mill culls
out, $14 for basswood, and $12 for soft
elm. Birch and maple flooring are in
good demand. Shingles are particularly
active, and there is a moderate enquiry
for lath.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

There appears to be a further improve-
ment in spruce. The number of enquiries
received by mill men shows that there
is a strong dispesition on the part of ship-
pers to conclude arrangements for next
year’s supply, and it is believed that
prices will show a substantial advance
over those of the current year. The
United States is buying largely of clap-
boards, dimensions, and shingles. The
supply of clapboards is light. Sales have
been made at $31 to $32 for extra spruce,
and $29 to $30 for clears, Boston delivery.
Some of the largest shippers of cedar
shingles are sold out. The price of ex-
tras on Boston freight rate is $3.10 to
$3.20; clears, $2.75 to $2.85. Higher
prices are asked for lath, 15 inch bringing
$3.10 and and 1¥% inch $2.90. No tran-

sactions are reported in square and waney
timber, although several deals are said to
be pending for the coming winter's output.

GREAT BRITAIN.

A somewhat pessimistic article appears
in one of the British timber trade journals
pointing out the fallacy of expecting that
the proposed curtailment of the log crop
in Norway and Sweden this winter will
benefit lumber prices during the early
part of next year. It is shown that the
loys cut this winter will not reach the
mills until the middle of next year, and
many of them not until the following sea-
son. The first-open-water shipments will
be the product of logs now at the
mills. While these statements are doubt-
less correct, the fact remains that if.a
limited quantity of logs is cut this winter,
there must be a corresponding decrease
eventually in the quantity of lumber to
supply the demand. This is the view
taken by the trade generally, and it has
inspired a degree of confidence. Specu-
lators have entered the market, believing
that purchases made at present prices
will show a good profit next year. It. is
not expected that active buying will com-
mence until towards the close of the year,
White pine of best quality is in excellent
demand,very little of this class being offer-
ed at auction sales. Spruce is also firm. A
Liverpool importer is offering 47 per
standard c.i.f. for a cargo from Nouveile,
Que. Buying is advised wherever suit-
able specifications can be obtained. A
few lcts of 12 feet x 3 x 9 inch first quality
spruce, from Quebec, was recently sold
in London at 412 per standard. In tim-
ber the market is quiet excepting in the
case of oak, which is advancing in price
owing to the light import.

UNITED STATES.

The log crop of the coming winter is
one of the factors tending to strengthen
the white pine market. It is estimated
that the cost of taking out logs in the
Minneapolis district will be 50 per cent.
above normal, and that the supply for the
Minneapolis mills will be lessened at least
100,°00,000 feet by this cause. The scar-
city and high cost of labor is the great
difficuity. Reports of satisfactory trade
come from the Lake Superior district and
from the eastern distributing nats

KILN-DRIED BIRCH FLOORING S*EETNS—cemne

Buffalo and Tonawanda dealers have re-
cently made large sales throughout the
Eastern States and are likely to go into
the winter with less stock than last fall.
In Cleveland trade is quite brisk. Several
sizes of Norway pine have been advanced
there one dollar per thousand, and 1%,
1% and 2 inch No. 1 shelving has also
been marked up. Inthe Chicago market
common inch is in excellent request at
$17 for a fair grade. Piece stuff is also
wanted, Norway bringing $13.50 to $14
and white pine alittle more. Thereis a
good demand in Chicago for white cedar
shingles at $2.65 for 8-inch and better and
$2.70 to $2.75 for 10-inch. Lath are sell-
ing freely at $3.25 for No. 1 white pine,
$2.75 for No. 1 mixed pine, and $2.25 for
No. 2 mixed pine and hemlock. Spruce
prices throughout the Eastern States are
firm. At Bangor it is reported that the
demand for spruce lumber was never
better. The spruce mills are operating
to their full capacity, but are unable to
meet the demand. A liberal amount of
hardwood lumber is going into consump-
tion, but there has been no improvement
in prices. Manufacturers do not expect

much activity in demand this year, but
are [ooking for a good trade during the
early part of 1902. Birch has shown some
strength of late,being asked for more than
the other woods.

[Correspondence of ‘the CANADA LUMBERMAN.]

Although the local mills will shut down
shortly, shipping, especially by water,
continues fairly active. Speaking of the
export trade, Mr. J. R. Booth said:
‘« Things look better in the English mar-
ket. They were rather dull all summer,
but there is now a better feeling amongst
shippers.” Mr. Booth stated that too
much talk was made out of the change in
the culling regulations, which were held
partially responsible for the dull feeling in
the English market. ‘It would take a

some down river point. A site ne Roc

land where the mills of Mr. W 7 d t=
wards, M.P., are situated will probably be
Hawkesbury and

selected, although

several other points are mentioned. ‘“‘It

is costing me too much money to handle
he stated. ‘‘I

my lumber in Ottawa,”
would be money in pocket if I established
at a down river point.”

Mr. H. K. Egan, of the Hawkesbury
Lumber Company, who has just returned
rom his limits, states that operations will
be brisk. Fully 2,c00,000 feet of square
timber alone will be taken out in the
Ottawa and Georgian Bay districts.
Amongst the firms getting out square
timber are Robert Hurdman, Rideau Lum-
ber Company, Ottawa; John Munro,
Pembroke ; McCool & Munro, J. R.
Booth, Mickle, Dyment & Son, McArthur
Lumber Company, besides several Ameri-
can concerns.

The sawdust nuisance in Ottawa has
apparently been solved. Large quantities
are now being shipped to Hawkebury,
while more is spoken of for Kemptville,
Montreal, and other outside points. The
sawdust is being used as fuel. It is stated
to be even better than coal for some pur-
poses, while being considerably cheaper.
Special cars have been fitted up for the

transportation, and a trestle work plat_

form has been erected on Britannia stree,

near Booth’s mill to expedite the work of
loading the car.s Mr. Booth will erect a
burner, but he does not expect to have to
dispose of much of the sawdust in this
manner.

The Hull Lumber Co. recently closed a
contract to supply the General Electric
Company, of Schenectady, N. Y., with a
considerable quantity of pine lumber at
ruling prices.

Ex-Mayor Bingham is busily engaged
bringing the last of the Gatineau log drive
to the Ottawa and Hull mills. ‘‘ This has
been the most expensive season I have
met with in my 3! years experience,”
stated Mr. Bingham. ‘‘ The water was
very low, and more logs than ever are
tied up along the shores. I have had to
use large quantities of dynamite.” Mr.
Bingham states that the drive of logs
shows an increase of ten per cent. over
last season. On being threatened with
prosecution, a number of summer residents
and settlers along the Gatineau replaced
or made good the value of logs which
were unlawfully gathered for firewood.

A prominent lumberman stated last
evening that a large sulphite mill will, in
all probability, be erected next year at the
Chaudiere, near the site of the Hull Lum-
ber Company's mills. The Consumers’
Electric Company is making extensive
rock excavations and preparing a site for

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

‘© There would be a heavy movement of
stock if we could secure the necessary
cars. As itis, weare doing a fair trade
and are constantly receiving orders for
both immediate and future delivery.” These
remarks, by a Georgian Bay manufac»
turer, express the condition of the trade
generally. The situation is most favor-
able from the point of demand, and
prices, are firm. Some manufacturers
have further advanced the price of uppers
and selects, the supply of which is very
limited. Box lumber has been enquired
for quite largely during the week, and
lath and shingles have maintained the
strength which they have recently shown ;
in fact, itis believed that higher prices
for them will rule before long on account
of the small quantity in the hands of
manufacturers. Shipping by vessel is
quite active. Large shipments were
made last week from Parry Sound, Col-
lingwood and other Georgian Bay points
to the Eastern States. The loading of
vessels has emphasized the scarcity of
men for lumbering operations. Some
concerns have found it necessary to close
down their mills in order to get a suff-
cient number of men to load the vessels.
The enforcement of the regulations for

the prevention of smallpox is_ inter-
fering with work in the woods, as some
men will not submit to the regulations so
long as they can go to other camps where
they are not imposed. It seems neces-
sary to take steps to enforce the general
observance of the regulations. Alto-
gether, the outlook for logging operations
this winter is not favcrable, and a light
cut is predicted.

More inquiries are reported for hard-
wood lumber, with maple and basswood
leading in the improvement. Indications
point to a more satisfactory trade during
the winter months than was experienced
in the summer.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The outlook for spruce lumber is grad-
ually improving. Manufacturers on this
side have learned with much satisfaction
of the apparent turn of the tide in Great
Britam. It is not probable, however,
that the prospects of a good fair trade
next year will cause manufacturers to in-
crease their operations in the woods, as
men are scarce and supplies high in
price. A largetrade has been done this
year with the West Indies and South
America. Lumber for the United States
market is firm and moving moder-
ately. Clapboards are selling $1 higher
than last week, $32 to $33 being the quo-
tation for extra spruce, and $30 to $31 for
clears. Cedar shingles are firm at $3.10
to $3.20 for extras and $2.75 to $2.85 for
clears, on Boston rate of freight.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Railway construction in Manitoba and
the Territories is providing a market fora
large quantity of timber. Several jobbers
have been given important contracts for
ties and poles. Building lumber is mov-
ing pretty freely. The value of buildings
erected in the city of Winnipeg this year
is expected to reach nearly $2,000,000.
Most of the buildings have now reached
the stage where finishing lumber only is
required. Men are wanted for railway
construction and to work in lumber
camps. Prosperous conditions prevail in
the lumber trade of British Columbia.
Several iarge shipments of lumber, pick-
ets and laths have recently been made to
Australia. The ship-building industry is
consuming considerable lumber. The
export of cedar and fir logs to the United
States has been very heavy this fall, as
there is 2 prospect that the legislation
prohibiting the export of logs from the
province will be put into force next

spring,

EL.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

UNITED STATES.

Box manufacturers have lately been
heavy buyers of No. 4 and No. § boards,
and consequently the stock of these
grades has become greatly reduced. As
the one weak spot in the market was the
lower grades, this reduction has given in-
creased strength to white pine. Some
manufacturers are buying stock to even
up their grades, and some anxiety is ex-
pressed that the quantity of white pine
lumber will not be sufficient to supply the
demana until the cut of next year is ready
for shipment. Predictions are made that
prices will be advanced during the winter
months. Great difficulty is being found
in the Lake Superior district in obtaining
men for the woods. It is said that not
more than 25 per cent. of the men. re-
quired by the Minnesota operators have
been secured. Wages range from $30 to
$35.

Values of lumber generally appear to
be hardening. At Toledo 2x10 bill
stuff, 12 to 16 feet, has been advanced to
$17 ; 2x12, $20; and 18 feet and over,
$1 higher for every two feet over 16 ft.
engths. At Buffaloand Tonawanda the
better grades of pine are scarce, and
some dealers are asking a fancy price foy
uppers and selects. The spruce market
continues strong, with prices practically
unchanged. Mills are unable to keep up
with the demand. More encouraging re-
ports are heard concerning the hardwood
trade. Maple, oak and basswood are
among the best sellers, there being a very
satisfactory demand for maple. Prices
are still low, and there is a good deal of
competition among dealers. The shingle
market is exhibiting strength. In Buffalo
the call is chiefly for red cedars, which
sell on the basis of $4 for Perfections and
$3.25 for extra Clears. A stronger tone
prevails in the lath market, and some
manufacturers are asking slightly ad
vanced prices. It is. anticipated that a
still firmer tone will rule.

GREAT BRITAIN.

Pine deals are going into consumption
quite freely in London and _ Liverpool-
There is an actual scarcity of broad first
quality pine deals. Prices, however, al-
though continuing firm, show no material

KILN-DRIED BIRCH FLOORING SHEETING Ceminc ¢

advance. In spruce there has been a
marked improvement. From all the
leading centres comes the report that
spruce deals are in good demand and
prices tending upwards. Contracts have
recently been closed in London for 3x II
third quality at £9 and £9 5s., whilst
3x 9 second quality has brought £9 I5s.
Several transactions in cargo lots are also
reported. A cargo from Nouvelle, Que.,
has been sold for delivery to Garston, on
the Mersey, at £7 c.i.f, and a St. John
cargo for the Bristol channel at same
figure. Only one or two unsold cargoes
are now in the hands of agents, and for
these there are many enquiries. A
Glasgow report says : ‘‘ Spruce continues
in good demand, and several lines have
changed hands during the week at
fair prices.” From a Liverpool corres-
pondent it is learned that values of spruce
deals have advanced there, consequently
higher prices have been talked of freely
alround. The position is undoubtedly
favorable for holders of this class of tim-
ber. Belfast also reports that spruce
deals have advanced in price. One of
the chief reasons why an improvement in
spruce deals has taken place is that there
is a return of confidence to the timber
trade, and it 1s almost certain that other
classes of timber will share in the im-
provement. Birch timber and planks are
in better demand, with a slight improve-
ment in prices.

steamer Kronbourg, St. John, N.B., to
w. c. England, deals, 36s.

An extraordinary condition now pre-
vails in the shipping world. Freight
rates are unprecedently low, and along
the Atlantic coast hundreds of ships are
idle. It is said that nothing like the pres-
ent depression has been known in the
freight markets since 1890.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Our Ottawa correspondent tells of the
feeling of confidence that is exhibited by
the lumbermen of that district. It can
truly be said that this optimism is not con-
fined to the Ottawa valley, as the trade
generally take a hopeful view of the out-
look for pine lumber. The market is
strong, although, as might be expected at
this season of the year, the demand is not
particularly active. There has been some
searching around for twelveinch boards,
which have been bought up for export,
partly on account of an improved cemand
from South America. The buying of box
lumber has also been more pronounced,
but this has had no effect upon prices, as
in this line there is no unusual scarcity o

stock. The short supply exists in the
upper grades.
Hardwoods are being bought by

those who have studied the situation,
Prices are now very low, as no advance of
consequence has been made for sometime.
Lower prices, therefore, are not to be
looked for, while an increase in consump-
tion would havethe effect of raising values.
Stocks are not heavy excepting in the
lower grades.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Prices of square and waney timber are
unchanged. It 1s reported that a Hamil-

ton firm have sold their coming winter’s
production of square pine, but prices have
not transpired. The trade generally do
not expect that higher prices for square
and waney timber will rule in the near
future. The market for spruce is quite
firm, with many enquiries for the best
quality. A very satisfactory trade in
clapboards and other thin lumber has
lately been done with the United States.
The upward movement, in shingles has
continued during the past week, and on
Boston rate of freight extra cedars are
now quoted at $3.15 to $3.25; clears at
$2.85 to $2.95 ; second clears at $2.35 to
$2.45 ; saps at $2.10 to $2.20,and extra No.
1 at, $1.75 to $1.80.

There were shipped from St. John up to
the end of September of this year 146,-
166,604 feet, as compared with 214,648,-
565 feet for the corresponding period of
1900. ‘Thisis a decrease for this year of
over 68,000,000 feet. Of the above quan-
tity 15,732,729 feet were shipped to»Aus-

. tralia, France, Spain, Africa, Italy and

Portugal, and the balance to Great Britain,
UNITED STATES,

A slight falling off in demand is re-
ported by wholesalers of northern pine,
but when it is considered that the ship-
ments from the Lake Superior district
this year will show an increase of 15 per
cent. over the previous year, it is not sur-
prising that there should be a slackening
up of business. Yet the pine market con-
tinues strong, with a probability of
higher values for the better grades of
pine, of which there is a decided scarcity.
In Chicago, New York and other large
cities the activity in building operations
continues. Buffalo dealers report a very
active trade. Our price list this week
shows an advance of $3 on uppers and $1
on No. 1 cutting up stock, 114 and 1%
inch thick. It has been found that there
is a scarcity of both No. 1 and No. 2 cuts,
and it is said that as high as $36 and $23
respectively has been offered. Box lumber
isin fair demand. The firmness of spruce
lumber is the feature of the eastern trade,
It is scarce at producing points and man-
ufacturers are finding difficulty in filling
otders for immediate requirements. The
hardwood trade is about as it has been
throughout the fall, with a fair movement
of stock but no particular snap to the de-
mand. Common and cull white ash is a
little higher in Buffalo. Maple flooring
is much inquired for and scarce, and
present conditions would warrant an ad-
vance in price. Shingles are in excellent
request.

“spruce ‘deals:

GREAT BRITAIN.

The tone of the British timber market
is distinctly better. More confidence is
shown than for many months past. Al-
though Canadian pine deals are still in
heavy stock, a shght improvement -in
values is reported. For first quality pine
deals in 9 and 11 inch, the market 1s quite
firm, while third and fourth qualities are
plentiful and somewhat easier. Consider-
ably advanced prices are being asked for
spruce deals, A cargo from Cape Tor-
mentine, N.B., has been sold to a Liver-
pool firm at £7 tos, and still higher prices
are looked for before the close of the sea-
son; Prices of spruce on the west coast
have advanced at least 20s. per standard
within the past six weeks, although in the
London market and on the east coast the
competition from other whitewood has
kept prices from advancing in the same
proportion. Itis thought that next spring
will find the market short of 9 and 11 inch
In London sales of Que-
bec deals were made last week at £9 15s
for second quality and £9 2s 6d for third
quality, and £10 per standard 1s predicted
for February and March, 1902.

The import of square and waney timber
during the month of October was light,
but in most classes the stock on hand 1s
still heavy. Inferior wood is a drug on the
market, while best quality is in fair de-
mand. Birch logs. and planks have
strengthened of late, as deliveries have
been on.a moderate scale and consumption
very’ Satisfactory.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.

(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)

The lumber market here continues firm?
with no indication of weakening. On the
contrary, reliable authorities predict an
upward move. Dealers do not complain
of difficulty in securing business. Owing
to a continued shortage ot cars, they find
great trouble in filling orders. One lead-
ing mill firm is reported as being in need
of 300 cars with which to ship stock
orders for which were placed weeks ago.
The western grain trade has the call on

cars, and the lumbermen will have to

““ bide a wee.”

This being the last month of navigation,
arush of lumber for Montreal was wit-
nessed, but this is now over. Future
shipments must be made by rail.

As an evidence of the firm tone of
the market, it may be stated that a large
quantity of prime s. c. strips was recently
disposed of by a mill firm at $15 per M.
Local dealers who had large holdings in
this line, and were feeling shaky, have
taken heart. Mention in the same con-
nection may also be made of the whole-
sale price of lath. ix weeks ago a large

KILN-DRIED BIRCH FLOORING SHEEDNS”cemine

quantity was secured by a. well-known
firm from the mill at $1.75 per M. for No.
1,and $1.25 per M. for No. 2. To-
day the lath could not be bought in the
same way at less than $2.10 for No. 1 and
$1.65 for No. 2. The lowest retail figure
quoted is $2.25 for No. 1 and $2 for No. 2.
In Cleveland, Ottawa high grade lath sold
recently as high as $4.00 per M. A con-
siderable quantity has also been shipped
by local firms to points in Pennsylvania.
This outside demand, if it continues, will in
itself have a strong tendency to maintain
local prices. This fall Mr. J. R. Booth
has made several good sized shipments _ to
Chicago, all being good stock. The
Windy City furnishes a comparatively un-
explored field for the product of the Ot-
tawa mills.

Speaking about the prospects recently,
a local lumberman . said: ‘‘Tthere
is every reason why present prices, if they
change, should advance. Labor is much
higher, supplies are dearer, and the. ‘cost
of getting out the logs shows an advance
all round. The mill men have to go
farther from the mills, and hence have to
make a greater financial allowance for
bringing the logs to the mills. Ottawa
shippers are finding new fields in the
United States, and besides expect to cater
to an increased local demand next year.
Everything indicates that prices for 1902
will be higher than those of 1gor.

If negotiations pending reach a satis-
factory issue, a new saw mill will be erected
this fall or early next spring at Deschenes,
near Ottawa. The site spoken of is the
one on which the Conroy mill, burned two
years ago, stood. The new mill will be
operated by steam, and fitted with ma-
chinery giving a yearly output of 50,000,-
000 feet. It is being planned by local limit
holders, who at present have no mill at
which to cut. Fraser -& Company are in
the syndicate. It is hoped to have the mill
running early next July. As the river is
already laid with booms, and the storing
and shipping facilities in the yards provided
for, there will be no delay in outside work.

J. R. Booth against the world. This
apparently is the status in an interesting
law suit involving large interests which
will soon be fought out in the local courts.
It all arises over the manipulation of the
water power at the Chaudiere, Ottawa's
industrial centre. Mr. Booth is building a
new dam in the river, and doing work on
the site of the old McKay mill which it is
alleged will interfere with the rights of the
other companies utilizing the water power
below the Booth premises. The lumber
king contends that he is well within his
rights working on his own property, and
interfering with no one else's rights. The
companies arrayed against him include the
Ottawa Electric Railway Company, Ot-
tawa Electric Company, Ottawa Power
Company and Ottawa Carbide Company.
The case is looked forward to with great
-ntererest.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION

——

A correspondent of Timber, of London,
Eng., makes the following reference to
the-spruce market : *‘ The only feature of
interest in the trade of this port at the
present time is the firmness of the spruce
market. Quotations for this wood are
advancing, owing, it is said, to the
scarcity of certain sizes. The upward
tendency has not affected any other
branch, although, with the exception of
pine, nearly all woods are steady. No
large transactions are reported as taking
place, and the orders that are coming to
hand are all for small quantities. There
appears to be no falling off in the actual
number of orders, but they are certainly
for much smaller quantities than they
were a twelvemonth ago. This would
seem to prove, if it proves anything, that
country buyers are operating with extreme
caution, and working from hand to mouth,
with the object, no doubt, of being able
to do better later on. But, as already
stated in these notes, there are no indica-
tions that there will be a further all-round
fall in values ; on the: contrary, a rise is
far more probable. Stocks here of some
classes of goods are certainly heavy, but
they are strongly held, and are not likely
to be sold at any great sacrifice. It cer-
tainly looks as if prices had now reached
their lowest possible limit, so that buyers

THE GLASGOW MARKET.

Messrs. Edmiston & Mitchells, in their
jast monthly circular, thus review the
Glasgow market : WaneEY BOARDWOOD
AND SQUARE WHITE PinE.—The import
during the month has been_ small—about
300 loads. The enquiry during the month
has been quiet, and, with the exception of
a few retail sales, there has been no busi-
ness passing. Prices are firm, and the
stock is moderate. RED PinE.—There
has been an import during the month of
about 100 loads. The stock is low, but is
ample for all requirements. Oak.—There
has been no further import during the
month, and general business has been
quiet, though the railway companies have
fixed a féw lines of their special sizes.
ELM.—The import during the month has
been about 250 loads. The Stock is heavy,
and the demand during the month has
been disappointing. Prices for good
quality are firm, but are low for second
quality or soft elm. BiRCcH.—Quebec.—
The import for October consists of about
200 loads, some of which were sold ‘‘ ex
quay ’’ and the balance stored. One lot
of indifferent quality 17-inch average was

very languid, and only retail sales of a
trifling description are being effected. In
lower port birch there have been a few
sales made at unsatisfactory prices, it is
reported. There have been no transact-
ions in planks during the month,
Asu.—The import for October is compar-
atively trifling, and it is to be hoped that
very little will come in this year, as the
market is quite overstocked as it is, and
very little is moving off, unfortunately.
Until the cabinetmaking trade improves
there is no chance of the stock being ap-
preciably reduced. DEALS, &c.—A fairly

STOCKS AND PRICES.

In the Saginaw valley white pine 18 inch
XXXX shingles are held at $3.80; clear
butts, $260; 18 inch cedarXXXX, $3.45;
clear butts, $2.35.

The Saginaw Lumber & Salt Company
are this winter taking out square timber in
the township of Levack, recently pur-
chased from the Ontario Government.

The Nova Scotia Steel & Coal Company
are about to build a large shipping pier at
North Sydney, N.S., the construction of
which will require 850,000 feet of hard pine,
21,000 lineal feet of creosoted piling and
300,000 feet ot spruce planking. The pier,
it is said, will cost $100,000.

Receipts of lumber at Buffalo by vessel
this season have been 167,258,000 feet, as
against 133,320,000 feet iast -season.
Shingles show a decrease, the amount be-
ing 87,467,000, as compared with 115,541,-
ooo last year. Of lath 8,00v,000 have
been received, which is nearly double that
of last year.

erington Boom Company, states that it

Falls, N.B., but to concentrate all efforts
to bring the logs below the falls into the
boom. A despatch from Fredericton,
dated October 25th, stated that the water
was again falling, and that unless there
was an immediate rise the chances of get-
ting the 15,000,c00 feet of logs into the
booms were very poor.

Of the Barbadoes market the trade
circular of Clairmonte, Man & Company

says: ‘‘ There have been no arrivals with
lumber during the fortnight ended October
26th and yards are bear of white pine and
spruce, especially the former. We value
the first arrival of white pine at from $25
to $26 for merchantable, and of spruce at
$19 to $20. Long cedar Gaspe shingles
are wanted. Last sales have been at $4.05
to $5.30 per M, according to quality. We
note the arrival of the James W., from
Paspebiac, Que., with 422,000 long ana
346,000 dimension shingles. The last sale
of cedar laying shingles was at $1.75 and
spruce laying at $1.55.”

Under date of October 19th, Messrs. S.
P. Musson, Son & Company say of the
Barbadoes lumber market: ‘‘ A cargo of
about 200,000 feet of white pine, prin-
cipilly secoad quality, has been contracted
for at $25 and $20 respectively, and we
have also sold a small cargo to arrive at
similar rates. Some dealers are quite
bare and first receipts should command
about above prices. In spruce we have
contracted for a cargo for the dealers, and
from next month on there will be the de-

be less than last season. A smal) lot of
dimension cedar shingles, ex. Canadian
steamer, 1s the only receipt. They brought
$4 for 4 inch, $6.65 for 5 inch, $7.15 for
6 inch, and $8 for 7 inch. Some dealers
are bare of laying cedar shingles, but
others having stocks laid in at low rates,
would preclude anything over our last
quotation being paid. We have just
placed a million to arrive at $2.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS,

Assisted by fine weather, the lumber |

i ki t satisfact how-.. ;
derail A a aaa _ tity of clapboards and shingles has been

ing for the month of November. Upon
the close of navigation, which will take
place very soon, the yards will have light
stocks to carry intothe winter. Some of
the mills have been compelled to close
down earlier than expected on account of
inability to secure workmen. Prices of
pine lumber are hardening. While there
has been no further advance in the upper
grades, the weakness in the Jower grades
has disappeared. This 1s particularly the

casé in respect to box lumber and mill
culls, which are selling fully one dollar

higher than a month or six weeks ago.

. than offset

The market for these grades is advancing,

owing tothe light supply, and many pre-
dict much higher prices before next spring.

~~ Although no change has been made in

prices for lath as quoted on page vi., some
sales are being made at higher figures,
and the position of stocks warrant a con-
siderable advance, which will doubtless
take place within one month. Shingles
are higher. XX pineare selling in Tor-
onto at $1.80 to $1.90, and XXX at $2.60
to $2.70. For XX $1.60 is being asked at
the mill. There is much speculation as to
how far the price of shingles will advance,
as the supply is excepticnally light. In-
quiries sent out to Georgian Bay millmen
reveal the fact that there are very few
shingles to be purchased. As an illus-
tration of the scarcity a manufacturer who
almost invariably has gone into winter
quarters with from 15,000,000 to 20,000,-
ooo shingles, is this winter completely
sold out ; while others are intimating that
$1.7c will be their next quotation for XX.

Hardwood prices are steady. The de-
mand is heavier than a fortnight ago. Soft
elm and maple are exnibiting less strength
than other -hardwoods. Manfuacturers
are showing little disposition {0 cut prices,
apparently looking for an early improve-
ment in the demand.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Shipments of spruce lumber from Mon-
treal within the past fortnight have been
quite numerous, although mostly of small
lots. As the close of navigation is draw-
ing near, interest is turning to the volume
of the wintering stock. No figures are
yet obtainable, but when they are given
out it is possible that they will show a
smaller quantity than is generally expect-
ed. Quebec shippers who are in touch
with that market seem confident of a

sharp recovery in prices next season.
From the eastern provinces the shipments
to Great Britain during the past week
have been light, but a considerable quan-

shipped to the United States. Clapboards
are scarce and strong at last quotations,
The advance in the price of cedar shingles
has been maintained. One or two manu-
facturers are asking as much as $3.25 for
extra cedars, on Boston freight rate.

UNITED STATES.

Taking the lumber, market of the
United. States as a whole, it seems to be
in excellent condition. The demand for
white pine-has fallen off slightly, but the
effect of this upon prices has been more
by the closing down of
the mills nm the Mississippi district about
one month earlier than last year. The
upper grades are particularly strong and
fare being advanced in many markets.
Recent sales at Duluth have been at the
highest prices of the season, while still
higher figures are predicted before the
new year. The large supply of low grade
stock will likely prevent any material ad-
vance in the price of these grades,
although No. 4 and No. 5 boards have
lately shown more strength and a better
movement. No.3 boards are selling in
the Duluth market at $13.50. The east is
buying quite liberally, as the open weather
has permitted the continuation of building
Operations. Thick No. 1 cuts have been
sold in the Buffalo market at 543. Box
grades areselling at $16 to$19 and mill
culls at $15. Stocks at Tonawanda and
Buffalo are broken, a condition never
known to exist heretofore during the
closing weeks of navigation. There is
a heavy inquiry for box lumber.

A continuation of the better feeling in
the hardwood tradeis the only favorable
feature. There has been no perceptible
improvement in the demand, although
furniture factories are buying a good deal
of maple. Elm and basswood are hold-
ing their own in price and would doubtless
improve if the demand should pick up.
The high prices for spruce continue.
Mills at Bangor, Portland, and other
points are being operated to their full
capacity to supply requirements. In
Boston to and 12 inch dimensions are
selling at $12 ; 9 inch and under at $18
to $18.50; and to and 12 mch random
lengths, to feet and up, at $19 to $19.50.

The shingle situation is as favorable for
the producer asit well could be. Dealers
and manufacturers are unable to find a
sufficient quantity to fill orders. Our

Albany list shows an advance of 25 cents
on lath, which are selling there at from
$2.75 to $3.00.

GREAT BRITAIN.

In many respects the outlook in Great
Britain is improving. The import’season
is considered at an end, and the trade are
now in a position to estimate the quantity
of stock available to supply the require-
ments of the winter and early spring.
The Board of Trade returns show thar the
import of sawn Iumber has been lighter
than last year, although the stock on hand
is slightly heavier. Consumption is fair-

ly active, and will'no doubt result in re-

ducing the quantity on the market to a

. normal basis before. next season’s ship-

ments arrive. Recent auction sales in
London have shown an advancing market
for pine and spruce, and particularly for
2x4scantlings. Quebec pine deals have
not made as great'improvement as spruce.
As an indication of the trend of the spruce
market, it is announced that a cargo from
West Bay was last week sold to the
Bristol channel at £7 1os., while one
month agosucha price would not have
been considered by the buyer. A parcel
of Halifax spruce is*reported to have been
sold in London at 47 7s. 6d. c.i.f. Waney
board pine is going into consumption
freely,a cargo from Quebec lately received
at Liverpool having met with a ready sale.
A noticeable feature is the reduced stock
of birch planks and logs. In August last
a parcel of planks was sold at Liverpool
at £5 Ios. per standard, and it is doubtful
that.a similar parcel could now be bought
under £7 perstandard. Birch logsare in
strong demand and prices are decidedly
firmer. Elm has been inquired for, but
the heavy stock of this timber is keeping
the price down, and very few sales are
made above 3s. per cubic foot.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

The cooperage stock market is quiet,
with some activity in slack hoops. Prices
at Buffalo are as follows ; First-class dry
elm flour barrel staves, $7.25 to $7.50 ;
basswood headings, 5% to 5% cents ;
coiled hoops, $7.75 to $3 for 6 foot, $7.25
to $7.50 tor 5% ft.

Prices for shingles at Tacoma, Wash.,
COntinue on the basis of $1.05 for red
cedar stars, and $1.80 to $1.85 for clears.

Lath are selling at Duluth at $2.90 for
No. 1 and $2.25 for No. 2.

J. W. Cochran, J. N. Cochran, S. J.
Soley and’ G. Kerr have purchased, for
about $45,000, the Smith & Hatfield tim-
ber lands at Fox River, N.S., and will
engage extensively in lumbering at that
place.

Ont., about two weeks ago for George
Morley & Company, of Detroit. The
barges ran aground on Darch Island and
it is announced that both have since been
burned.

Charles Stone, of Sawyerville, Que.,
has purchased a timber limit near this
place on which he will operate this winter.

Cc. I. Keith, of St. John, N. B., has
taken a contract to cut 2,000,000 feet of
lumber for C. M. Bostwiok & Co. at
Great Salmon river.

The Dominion Government is asking
for tenders up to December 3rd for supply
of telegraph poles for a line from Alberni
to Clayoquot, B. C., a distance of 75 miles.

W. R. Thompson, of Teeswater, Ont.,
recently purchased 150,000 acres of tim-
ber lands near Paisley, Ont., on which he
is logging this winter. The timber is
mostly maple and elm

Hugh Brown, Paul Brown and George
Gordon, of Parrsboro, N. S., have con-
tracted with the Parrsboro Lumber Co. to
cut and manufacture the timber on their
East Avon property.

Gilmour & Hughson, of Hull, Que.,
expect to float in a few days about 2,000
logs stranded in McLaren’s Bay, about
1,000 at Hamilton's camp, Hull, and
5,000 al the Little Chaudiere.

The estimated log cut on the Resti-
gouche river, in New Brunswick, this
winter is 30,000,000 feet, or 5,000,000
feet short of that of last year. The
operators find it impossible to get men
for the woods.

John Moore, of Blissville, N. B., who
purchased the Todd timber land on the
south branch of the Oromocto river, has
commenced operations with about forty
men. Smith Bros. will have four crews
lumbering on the Shin creek,

The Department of Indian Affairs,
Ottawa, are asking for tenders up to 22nd
inst. for purchase of 25,000 cedar railway
ties, 10,000 cedar posts, 300 cords pulp
wood, and 500 cedar saw logs which it is
proposed to have made by the Indians of
Manitoulin Island during the ensuing
winter.

The lumbermen on the St. Croix river,
in New. Brunswick, are planning to. get
out about 22,000,000 feet of logs this
winter. H. F. Eaton & Sons will operate
largely above Princeton. McLellan will
haul 1,000,000 feet for them, the Moore
concern another million, and a camp of
their own probably another million. About
2,000,000 feet will be put in for them on
Tomah stream by Thomas Hilland others.
On the east branch George Bubar will put
in about 1,000,000 feet for them. F. H.
Todd & Sons will cut about five and one-
half million feet. Granville Chase will cut
about a millicn feet up and down the

river. James Murchie & Sons will cut
about 6,000,0co feet, divided among
several small operators. The Bonny

River Lumber Company will put in about
four and one-half milfion feet. Mercier &
Sons will confine their operations to white
birch, while Ira Hicks will cut about
1,000 cords of stave wood for his new
mill at. Vanceboro.

SHIPPING MATTERS.

During the past week an advance of 25
and 50 cents has been made on the rate
on lumber shipped from Green Bay and
Georgian Bay districts to Tonawanda and
Buffalo, making the prevailing figures
$2.50 and $2.75 respectively. The rate
from Duluth is $3. Many of the Buffalo
firms have a considerable quantity of lum-
ber in the Lake Superior district which
they are anxious to move this fall, and
nes are finding tonnage none too plenti-
ul.

TIMBER LIMIT SALE.

On Saturday, November 16th, timber
berths Nos. 176 and 182, situated on the
north shore of Lake Huron, in Algoma
district, and containing together about 72
square miles, were placed under the ham-
mer at the auction rooms of C. J. Towns-
end, Toronto. The bidding was quite
spirited. The opening bid of $250,000
was made by J. H. Cullen, of Detroit.
The next was $255,000 by the Eddy Com-
pany. These two parties were rival bid-
ders until the sum of $303,000 was
reached, at which figure the limits were
knocked down to the Eddy Company.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY. EDITION

NORTHERN PINE CONDITIONS.

The shipping season on the great lakes
is near its end and there is found a great
demand for boats, but so scanty a supply
that it seems probable that much lumber
which should be delivered before the close
of navigation will not go forward, while a
good deal absolutely contracted to be de-
livered will remain on the mill docks.
There has been a decided falling off in the
lumber carrying fleet proper this year and
especially is there a lack of this class of
vessels for Lake Superior ports. Vessels
which have been depended upon to carry
lumber now prefer to make their final trips
with ore or grain, though the impending
blocade in the latter commodity at Buffalo
has lessened the demand for boats, but too
late in the season to accomplish any good
results for the lumber trade. Consequently
the mill docks are fairly well filled with
lumber, but it is largely sold, with the
little remaining in first hands held at high
prices.

Recent sales on Lake Superior are at
the highest prices of the season. Low
grade stock has at last come up to some-
thing like the figure which the mill men
have been wanting, though it is not to be
expected, nor perhaps desired, that the
quotations of the latter part of 1899 should
again prevail.
realized by lumber manufacturers, and

A good profit is being ,

even when we take into consideration the
high price of stumpage and the extraordi-
nary cost. of logging there still remains a
margin. f

The movement of white pine lumber by
rail from the interior mills in Michigan,
Wisconsin and Minnesota has not been as
active within the last few weeks as a year
ago at the corresponding period, but as
far as can be observed the cause of this
slackening in movement is due mainly to
the condition of supplies, added to some
shortage of cars. People simply cannot
get the lumber they want, for the stocks
neither in size nor assortment are adequ-
ate to the requirement. Doubtless the de-
mand of the season has been somewhat
affected by the partial crop failure in some
sections, but as far as the lumbermen are
concerned it is fortunate that that should
be so, for having difficulty in meeting what
demand there is with the available supplies
it would have been impossible to have
taken care of a larger requirement.

One thing seems certain—that there is
to be practically a lumber famine before
next year’s cut of white pine will be on the
market. There is, of course, nowadays
no question whatever as to upper grades.
The output would have to be considerably
larger than it is or than it possibly can be
to meet the call for finishing and shop lum-

ber and for other uses which require the
better class of white pine.

In the lower grades there is more or less
fluctuation. In some sections this year
there has been a larger output of inch pro-
portionately than of dimension, and so we
have seen prices somewhat out of line;
but as the year draws toward a close and
as the mills are shutting down we find
values adjusting themselves on strong lines.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

White pine lumber continues to show
exceptional strength. No sales are
heard of at cut prices, while many holders
of stock are asking an advance and show
no anxiety to effect a sale. The reason
for this attitude is found partly in the
statistical pcsition of white pine. The
stocks at thé mills have been pretty well
cleaned out. It is difficult to find any
quantity of the higher grades, while the
movement by rail during the winter
months will reduce the quantity of low
grade stock to a low basis. The trade

seems to*be convinced that there will be -

no weakening im prices this: winter, but
that there is a god prospect of an
advance. Building in Toronto continues
quite active, as is shown by the number of
permits issued during the month of
November. In Ottawa also there is
activity in building operations and a
gond local demand for lunber is reported.
With shingles the question is where to
obtain a supply. Some manufacturers on
the Georgian Bay who have a few left are
quoting $1.60 for XX and $2.40 for XXX,
and even at these prices are indifferent
about selling. The course of the shingle
market is tending directly towards higher
prices. This applies with equal truth to
lath, which is also in short supply. Pre-
dictions of $4 lath this winter have been
made.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The last vessel of the season has sailed
from Montreal for Great Britain, andina
few days naviyation on the St. Lawrence
will be closed. Nofigures are yet avail-
able as to the season’s total shipmen's
of lumber, but doubtless they have been
much lighter than last year. During the
past month there has been a marked 1m-
provement in the spruce situation, and
it is quite probable that purchases of
deals for spring shipment will be made at
a considerable advance over the prices
ruling this fall. The production of the
Maritime Provinces has shared in the
improvement and has also been benefitted
by a strong demand in the eastern states.
Sales of clapboards have been made to
Boston at $32 to $33 for extra spruce,

and $30 to $31 for clears. The supply of
cedar shingles is daily growing less, and
the market is firm on the basis of 53.20
for extras.

UNITED STATES.

The falling off in lumber shipments
has evidenced the approach of winter.
Most of the mills in the Duluth district
bave closed down for the season, with
stocks rather lighter than usual. The
tone of the market continues strong; in
fact, considerable buying is being done
for next year’s delivery on the belief that
there will be an advance in prices before
spring. The price list committee of the
Mississippi Valley Lumbermen’s Asso-
ciation will hold a meeting shortly to con-
sider the question of advancing the price
list for white pine before the new year.
The lumberdealers of Cleveland last week
advanced the retail price of many kinds of
lumber by from $1 to $2. Michigan
dealers report a decided scarcity of white
pine lumber. The American Lumber-
man states that Saginaw men had options
on some stock in Ontario, but allowing
them to expire, all the stock but mill culls
was sold, nearly 15,000,coo feet being
disposed of at about $15 a thousand.
E. B. Foss & Company, of Bay City,
secured 3,000,000 feet, and the remain-
der went to Chicago and the east. The
stock was cut at Cutler, Victoria Harbor
and Collingwood. The situation in
Chicago is strong. There is a scarcity
of several items, including No. 1 and No.
2 12-inch boards, No.1 and No. 2 4 and
6-inch fencing, and wide and _ long
dimensions. Buffalo is shipping large
quantities of lumber to the east, which is
buying quite liberally. The higher
grades continue scarce and firm. Twelve-
inch barn is selling in the Buffalo market
at $21, box at $17, and mill culls at $15.

Dealers speak more cheerfully of hard-
wood conditions. The manufacturing
industries consuming hardwoods are
buying to sore extent. for next season’s
reqiirement. Birch, maple and bass-
wood are most inquired for, while elm is
less active than usual. Spruce is selling
at high prices, to and 12-Inch dimensions
bringing $20 in the Boston market.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The general outlook for timber in
Great Britain is growing more satis-
factory. There is cndoubtedly a much
better feeling extant than has been the
case for some months past, and stocks
are getting within reasonable bounds.
Importers seem to fear that if the present

improvement is over-estimated, it may
result in shippers asking unreasonable
prices on contracts for next year’s ship-
ment. Nevertheless, reports from practi-
cally all the leading cities of Great
Britain tell of a more hopeful outlook and
a hardening tendency of prices. It is
believed that this hardening of prices
will increase during the advance of
winter. Pine deals keep firm in the face
of a large stock on hand, the last auction
sale showing a slight 1mprovement over
the one held two weeks earlier. Second
quality pine deals are rather scarce.
Spruce deals continue to attract atten-
tion, A few weeks ago 3xq third quality
were selling at £9 per standard under
the hammer, or £9 5s. by private treaty.
The present price is an advance of 5
shillings on these figures, and £10 is
predicted before. another month. At
Liverpool spruce is reported to be the
leading timber in demand, and brokers
are talking of £8 per standard c.1.f. for
the near future. There is a considerable
inquiry for birch planks, and two or three
parcels have been sold to arrive at Liver-
pool at increased prices.

Little business for next season has as
yet been transacted. It seems probable,
however, that first-open-water prices _ will
be in advance of ruling quotations. The
manufacturers of Norway, Sweden and
Russia are likely to curtail their output,
and asa similar policy is being followed
in this country, higher prices for timber.

should rule next season.

poplar logs. The party is in a position to
buy a large quantity of such logs.

It is said that the cut of logs on the
Restigouche River, in New Brunswick,
this winter will be 5,000,000 feet less than
a year ago, owing to the difficulty of get-
ting men to work in the woods. The wages
oftered are from $22 to $26’ per month.

Tierce staves are quoted in the Chicago
market at from $25 to $26, which is an ad-
vance of $3 within the past three weeks.
Tierce hoops bring $15 and pork hoops
Sio. Pork heading is quoted at from 13
to 14 cents, and 20-inch tierce heading at
16 to 16% cents.

The New Brunswick Coal & Railway

« Company, of Hampton, N.B., are asking
_for tenders up to November goth, for the
supply of 90,000 tamarac, white hemlock,
princess pine, and cedar ties, with not ex-
ceeding 25 per cent. of spruce. The ties
are to be delivered along the line of rail-
way between Chipman and Gibson.

The retail dealers of Cleveland, Ohio,
last week advanced the price of No. 1
! white pine lath from $3.75 to $4 per thousand.
The hemlock market is in excellent shape.
The price paid at Chicago for an average
cargo is $9. Dealers state that they are
able to bny carloads at $11.25. Eastern
hemlock is selling in Boston at $14 to
$14.50. Bill stuff is particularly strong.

Churchill & Sim say of the London mar-
ket: The arrivals of pine deals during
October have been quiet light and the
market is steady. Considerable clearances
of fragmentary specification and indeter-
minate quality have -been made with some
difficulty at low rates, but these leave the
more regular market undisturbed. Of
spruce deals there have. been about three-
fourths of a normal supply from the St.
Lawrence and practically a total cessation
trom the lower ports. Prices are steady,
but so far they have not risen to meet the
reports of short supplies in Canada, en-
hanced freight rates, and rising prices in
Liverpool and other markets. Prices of
elm, ash, and white pine timber are a little
better by log in the absence of arrivals.
Birch keeps out of demand. Oak is un-
changed.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.

THE COOPERAGE STOCK MARKET.

The Sutherland Innes Comyany, manu-
facturers of cooperage stock, Chatham,
Ont., give the following review of the
cooperage market :

The condition of the slack-barrel market
continues to improve from day to day.
There has beer an advance in No. 1 staves
of 25c. per M during the last month, and
while there has not been a advance ‘n No.
2 staves, the demand is very much better,
and we look for an advance before the end
of the month.

No. 1 hoops are very scarce, and prices
are from soc. to $1 per M better than they
were from three to four months ago. This,
however, is only for strictly No. 1 hoops,
not for the lower grade of hoops, and the
stocks are being reduced until they have
reached the danger point.

No. 1 heading is in good demand, while
the demand for mill-run heading and No.
2 heading is better than it has been for
some time and quite a little is moving.

Every indication points to a consider-
able advance in the price of slack barrel
stock all around during the next thirty
days, and a still further advance later.

Tight-barrel stock is in very good de-
mand at the present time, and prices are
better than they have been for some time.
Oil-barrel stock is being used just as fast
as it can be got ready for the market,
while rough staves of every description are
extremely scarce, and prices are high.

There is no change in the price of tight-
barrel heading, but pricesare firm. We do
not expect ary change in the tight-barrel

stave market for some time to come unless
it is an advance in the price of rough staves.

LOGGING CONDITIONS IN THE EAST,

Much difficulty is being encountered in
securing men to vork in the woods ia the
Maritime Provinces and Maine. Conditions
are not altogether favorable for logging.
The early fall of snow which came before
the ground had frozen hard and while the
swamps were still open, will somewhat
delay operations. On the Penobscot river
the cut is roughly estimated at 200,000,000
feet, on the Kennebec 150,000,000 feet, on
the St. Croix 22,000,000 feet, and on the
Aroostook, in Maine, 40,000,000 feet.
About 60,000,000 feet will be cut on the
St. John river in Maine to be driven down
to the New Brunswick mill. The entire
Jog crop of the State of Maine will prob-
ably meet 600,000,000 feet, about evenly
divided between pulp arfd lumber.

In Aroostook County operations will be
active in both spruce and hardwood. One
Fort Kent concern, operating on the St.
John, will get out 25,000,000 feet, mostly
spruce, and another will cut 15,000,000 feet.
On Salmon River the cut of spruce will be
about 12,000,000 feet. On the St. Croix
river, H. F. Eaton & Sons will bank about
10,000,000 feet of spruce, F. H. Todd &
Sons 6,000,000 feet, James Murchie &
Sons 6,000,000 feet and Granville Chase
1,500,000 feet. The Augusta Lumber
Company, operating on the Kennebec,
will get out 10,000,000 feet of spruce.
Wages range from $20 to $28 per month.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

The business in pine lumber during
the month of November reached the ex-
pectations of the trade, and December
starts in with a firm market and favorable
conditions generally. The volume of
buying is not likely to be large, although
if the weather should continue open, there
will be a good demand for building lum-
ber. The value of permits for buildings
issued by the City Commissioner of Tor-
onto in November exceeded $400,000.
This figure has not been reached in a cor
responding month since 1892, when a
vast amount of speculative building was
done. As the buildings are mostly only
commenced, they will call for a good deal
of lumber before they are finally com-
pleted. The largé volume of permits

augurs well for the building season of
1902, and it is expected that much activ-
ity will be witnessed next spring. Refer-
ence is seldom heard to the question of
lower prices for pine lumber. Present
prices seem to have been established as
the basis for the Winter, but it is not
unlikely that an advance in some grades
will be brought about before the spring.
It has transpired that some of the Ottawa
manufacturers have disposed of their
production of 1902. Watson & Todd are
said to have purchased the entire cut of
the Hull Lumber Company ; Cox, Long
& Company, the cut of McLaren &
Company ; and W. & J, Sharples, the cut
of the Hawkesbury Lumber Company.
Prices have not been made known, but
from what can be learned, they differ
but little from those paid one year ago
for the same stock. As previously point-

ed out, prices of lath and shingles are

strengthening anda sharp advance may
be looked for at any moment on account
of the short supply. Hardwood conditions
are unchanged, manufacturers continuing
to show a firm attitude.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Manufacturers of spruce deals are feel-
ing quite encouraged at the hopetul re-
ports which come from Great Britain,
where there is evidently 4 full recogni-
tion of the probability of a short supply
for next season. Shippers are showing a
disposition to contract for mill cuts, and
to pay the price asked by the manufac-
turer. The opinion prevails that with the
demand from the United States, South
America, the West Indies and Great
Britain, a market is certain to be found
for all the spruce lumber that will be
manufactured next year. The timber
market is quiet. Cedar shingles are in
good demand and have sold as high as
$3.25 for extras, Boston delivery. The
large manufacturers apparently control
the market and are taking advantage of
the conditions that exist to obtain higher
prices. Lath is also higher, 15 inch
bringing $3.20 to $3.30, and 1% inch $3
to $3.10. .

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Until within the last few days mild
weather has prevailed throughout Mani-
toba and the Territories, and outdoor
operations have been carried on without
interruption. Lumber for finishing pur-
poses has been in good request, and the
market is firm. The building permits
issued in Winnipeg this season were 628

in number, representing an aggregate
value of $1,616,550, which is about $300,-
Ooo in excess of last year. The opinion is
quite general that considerable building
will be done next year in Winnipeg and
throughout the North-West. The shingle
industry of Britlsh Columbia is suffering
from an over-production. It is announced
that the combination formed to handle
the product of several large mills through
one selling agency has been discontinued,
owing to a number of small concerns that
were not in the combine cutting prices
and demoralizing the market. It is hoped
that some permanent arrangement will
eventually be made to limit the shingle
production of British Columbia and main-
tain prices at a point where they would
represent a fair margin of profit.

UNITED STATES.

The lumber market of the United
States continues to exhibit satisfactory
conditions. The disposition to reduce
stocks before taking the annual inventory
is lessening the demand in some quarters,
but the movement of stock during Novem-
ber was in excess of the corresponding
month last year. It is thought that the
price list on pine will be advanced by the
Lake Superior manufacturers within the
next two weeks, as sales are now being
made above the list price, and an advance
is even being obtained for some of the
lower grades. The seller is able to
realize almost any reasonable price for the
upper grades. At Buffalo and Tonawanda
the tendency is towards higher prices,
and much more business would be done
but for the scarcity of cars. In the
Saginaw market no quotations are made
on log run below $18. Mill culls are
selling at $12 and box at $14 to $16.
Hemlock and spruce are both improving
in price. Michigan hemlock has_ been
advanced 50 cents at the head of the
lakes.. The movement of hardwood is
not large, inquiries being chiefly for
small lots. . Quarter-sawed stuff is dull
of sale. Elm, basswood, birch and maple
are meeting with about an equal call, but
in some markets thick maple seems to be
sluggish. The firmness of lath and
shingles has been maintained, the volume
of recent purchases tending to show that
buyers recognize the necessity of
arranging for their requirements as soon
as possible.

GREAT BRITAIN.

We do dot think that the agents of
Canadian shippers have as yet closed any
important contracts for next year’s ship-

ment, for two reasons, first, that there is
uncertainty as to what prices should be
asked, and second, that importers are
still holding quite heavy stocks and are
not anxious to enter into new obligations
until these have been reduced. There is
an almost certainty, however, that pur-
chases will be made in the near future,
and that the figures of the transactions
will be favorable to shippers. The tone
of the British market has greatly im-
proved, spruce deals generally and pine
deals in the standard sizes showing a
strong upward tendency. Broad dimen-
sion pine deals are much asked for at
Glasgow and Hartlepool and several sales
are reported at satisfactory prices. At
West Liverpool second quality pine is @x-
ceedingly scarce. A report from Liver-
pool states that within a short time spruce
prices have gone up from £1 to £1 Ios.
per standard, with every indication of a
further advance. The statement has
gained some publicity in England that a
St. John shipper has *‘ cornered ” all the
available spruce in the Bay of Fundy
district. The report appears to have in-
duced buyers to look around for spruce.
A lot of Quebec spruce stored at Belfast
by shippers is being held at a stiff ad-
vance on prices recently asked. In some
of the markets there 1s a scarcity of
waney board pine, and consumers have
in some instances substituted square tim-
ber, with the result that the latter woodis
showing more strength.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

The Harbor Commissioners of Montreal
are asking for tenders up to December
7th for supply of timber and planks.

The ship Prince Arthur, which sailed
from the Hastings mill, Vancouver, on
May 11th, for Cork, Ireland, has not yet
reached its destination, although she is
now overdue.

The New Brunswick Government will
offer for sale on December 11th four tim-
ber berths of two square miles each,
located in Cumberland district, Carlow
Sett, west-of Eel river, and Deadwater
Brook.

It is reported that Keenan Bros., of
Owen Sound, Ont., have secured a con-
tract from an English government con-
tractor for thirty carloads of maple floor-
ing blocks. The blocks are to be deliver-
ed within four months.

Heavy sales of lath were made last week
by Wisconsin manufacturers. The Francis
Beidler Company, of Chicago, purchased
4,000,000 feet front. the Kirby-Carpenter
Company and Hamilton, Merryman & Com-
pany, of Marinette, Wis.

KILN-DRIED BIRCH FLOORING SfEELINS Geicine ¢

In the Chicago market No. 1 fencing
sells at $22, No. 2 at $18 to $18.50, and
No. 3 at $15.50to $16. There is a scarcity
there of long and wide piece stuff and 12
inch No. 1and 2 stock boards. Hemlock is
quoted at $9.50.

On November 26th three cargoes of lum-
ber arrived at Saginaw, Mich., from Blind
River, Ont., consigned to Bliss & Van-
Auken, and three cargoes from Midland,
Ont., consigned to Mershon, Schuette,
Parker & Company.

There is an indication of still higher
prices for hemlock. For some time 12-inch
boards have commanded a premium of 50
cents at Buffalo over the regular $13 base
price, but it is now said that this price will
be made one dollar extra, as boards con-
tinue to be scarce.

The lumber dealers at Toledo, Ohio,
have put in force a new price list in which
several commodities are advanced, as
follows: Wide pine common, 13-inches
and up, $55; wide No. 1 shelving, 13-inches
and up, $48; 1x6 shelving, or C strips,
$35; 1x4 No.1 shelving, $32; 6-4 and
8-4 No. 2 shops, $35; No. 3; $25.

The contract for the supply of cedar
scantlings to the city of Toronto for the
year 1902 has been awarded to Reid &
Company, at $14.24 per thousand feet.
The same firm will supply hemlock timbers
at the following prices: 12 and 16 feet
lengths, $12.96 ; 20 feet, $15.96 ; 24 feet,
$17.96. Arthur Bryce secured the con-
tract for pine lumber at $16 for 12 and 15
feet lengths, $17 for 20 feet, and $20 for
24 feet.

Timber berths were sold last week at
the Crown Lands office, Fredericton, N.
B., as follows : Four miles, Bonny River,
Charlotte county, to John E. Moore, at
$8.25 per mile ; two miles, Robertville
Settiement, Gloucester county, to T. B.

about the usual variety of ups and downs,
with a substantial volume of trade and
irregular prices. It may be said that the
market at the present time is not all one-
sided, as seemed to be the case up till a
few weeks ago. Here and there one
hears of a slightly better price being ob-
tained for this or that commodity. Bass-
wood is in fair request. Dealers are ask-
ing $27 for firsts and seconds, 12-foot stock,
but say that they are not always getting ti.
Birch moves with about its usual freedom
and is in fair inquiry, but prices fail to
respond. Maple is quiet and steady at a
slightly improved basis.

RS

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
Reports from dealers indicate that

business is quiet in lumber circles at
present. The scarcity of cars has still an
important bearing in this direction, as it is
difficult to get shipmeuts to their desti-
nation. At present, however, customers in
outside points are engaged or preparing
to engage in stock-taking. Little lumber
is being bought and _ business will
probably. be quiet till after the New Year.
Prices are unchanged, with every pros—
pect of maintaining a firm tone and a
possibility ot advancing.

Although the labor market has become
easier, the cost of production of lumber
promises to continue high ; the scale of
wages is as follows : Good choppers, $27
to $30.a month and board; general
hands, $18 to $24 and board. In the
square timber market wages are higher.
Good hewers command $50 a month and
board, liners $40, and scorers $35. The
all-round advance in produce is placed at
ten per cent. by a large operator. Oats
are selling here at 50 cents a bushel.
Flour and hay show no advance, but
pork is decidedly firm. Delivered at the
Kippewa river, it is worth $22 per barrel
of 200 pounds. Hardware is also at a
high figure.

Natural conditions this season are even
worse than they were last. The long dry
fall has left the swamps without water,
and the first snowfall found the ground

December 4, 1901

compartively free from frost. These con-
ditions will make road-making exceed-
ingly difficult task. The work of getting
out logs will be no easy task. All the
above conditions must be taken into con-
sideration when figuring on future mill
and retail prices.

Ottawa's new chief magistrate is well-
known in and closely identified with the
lumber trade. Mayor Davidson is a
member of the firm of Davidson &
Thackeray, which operates a large plan-
ing mill and sash and door factory in
Ottawa. The firm is also building saw-
mills on its limits above Coulonge. Mayor
Davidson’s executive ability has also
been demonstrated in the success with
which as president of the Capitol Lacrosse
Club, he has managed its affairs. Ald. R.
J. Davidson, the ‘‘ father” of the council,
is a brother of the chief magistrate.

The valuable water-power on the
Quebec side of the Chaudiere promises to
again be the subject of legation. In the
Hull court on Saturday, Mr. Thomas
Ahearn, president of the Ottawa Electric
Company, fyled an opposition to the im-
provements in the river being carried
forward by the Ottawa and Hull Power
Company. W. C. Edwards, M. P., and
the Hawkesbury Lumber Company are
rated as defendants in the suit. Mr.
Ahearn is the owner of valuable water

lots above the Chuudiere, and he claims
the dams being built there will mterfere
with his rights.

In Bryson, to-day judgment was given
in the celebrated Perrault Fraser lumber
suit in which over $500,000 was involved.
The action was taken by Mrs. Dezouche
(nee Perrault), whose first husband, the
late John MacCoshen, was a partner of
Alexander Fraser, the well known lumber
king. Plainitff's action was taken to set
aside a sale of timber limits belonging to
the firm of MacCoshen & Fraser. Although
the limits stood in the latter's name alone,
the claim was made that MacCoshen had
equal shares. The limits in question
comprised about 34 square miles on the
Opeongo river in the province of Ontario
and about 78 square miles on the Schyan
and Black rivers in the province of Quebec.
The late Mr. MacCoshen died on August
17, 1885, and the sale was held at the
Russell House, Ottawa, on October 20 of
the same year. The Ontario limits were
sold at this sale for $65,600 and the Quebec
limits for $159,600 to Mr. Hiram Robinson,
as representing Messrs. J. B. and W. A. H.
Fraser. The limits were subsequently
sold by the Messrs. Fraser to the other
parties, the Quebec limits, the more im-
portant of the two, being now owned and
operated by Mr. J. R. Booth. By the
judgment the sale of the Quebec limits has
been annulled as contrary to the law of
that province, it being decided that while
Mr. Fraser acted in good faith in the sale,
the interests of the minor heirs of Mac-
Coshen had not been properly protected.
Defendant is ordered to account for the

actual value of the limit, and the revenue
derived from it since MacCoshen’s death,
Experts will report on this point. The
judgment on the other hand maintains
that the sale of the Ontario limits had
been a legal one.

Ottawa, December 2nd, 1go1.

THE BARBADOS MARKET.

Clairmonte, Man & Company, under
date of November gth, make the following
reference to the Barbados Jumber market :

Our market was very bare of white
pine and spruce lumber when the schooner
G. S. Troop arived from Jordan River, N.
S., and her cargo, fetched full rates, as
given below ; the schooner Britannia soon
followed with a large. cargo which was
placed at $24 for white pine boards, $22-
50 for planks, and $21 for spruce. There
is still a good demand, especially for
spruce. Second quality lumber is also
wanted.

Shingles.—Gaspe Long Cedar wanted,
last sales at $4.05 to $5.30 per M as to
quility. Cedar laying—we hear of a sale
at $2 per M to arrive. Spruce laying—no
recent sale, worth $1.60 per M. Novem-
ber 2nd: Schr. ‘‘G. S. Troop,” from
Jordan River, N. S., with 16 M feet
white pine, sold at $26.10 ; 19 M second
quality do $22.10; 48 M spruce $22.10 ;
9M second quality do $19.10. Novem-
ber 5th. Schr. ‘f Britannia,” from Bear

Ottawa, 4th Dec., 1901.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Little has transpired within the past
week to change the lumber situation.
The strength of white pine is still pro-
nounced and holders of stock are exhibiting
a confidence which augurs well for a firm
market throughout the winter. Further
purchases of Ottawa valley mill cuts by
shippers are reported, although the
details are not to hand. On-every side
comment is heard regarding the strength
of the upper grades of pine lumber. In
this class the seller controls the market
and is in a position to dictate terms to the
buyer. The outlook for spring trade can
scarcely be estimated at this date, but it
is certain that a large quantity of
Georgian Bay pine will next year be
shipped to the Saginaw river district,
which 1s annually becoming more de-

pendent upon Ontario for its lumber
supply. One estimate places the amount
to be exported to the Saginaw river next
year at 100,000,000 feet. The buying of
hardwobds is mostly in a small way, but
it is sufficient to keep stocks down to a
reasondble basis. Basswood is scarce
and firm in price.

High prices are being. realized for pine
shingles. A Georgian Bay manufacturer
is reported to have sold a quantity of

XXX toa Buffalo dealer at $2.60 at the .

mill. This, however, is an extreme
figure, and is above the current selling
price. Nevertheless, the scarcity of
shingles brings almost any price within
the realm of possibility.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The lumber business is quiet through-
out the eastern provinces, as exports
have céased for the season and most of
the mills are closed down. The retail
demand has shown a falling off during the
past week as a result of the cessation of
building operations. The figures of the
exports of lumber from Montreal,
published in another column, show a
decrease of about 16,000,000 feet
as compared with last year. The total
is quite up to expectations, as throughout
the entire season the British market was
depressed. Shipments of cedar shingles
are still being made to the Eastern
States. For Boston delivery $3.20 is
being obtained for extras, $2.90 for
clears, $3.40 for second clears, $2.15 for
saps, and $1.75 for extra No. 1. The
demand for clapboards seems to have
been supplied, although the market
remains firm at $32 for extra spruce and
$30 for clear. Logging operations are
progressing favorably. Of the 31,000,000
feet of logs stranded in the St. John river,
a contract has been given at 5 to 12
cents per log to have nearly 10,000,000
feet hauled ashore. The balance of the
logs are above Grand Falls and _ will
probably be savec in the spring. Most
of the mills at St. John are shut down,
and it is probable that only two will be
able to operate all winter. Ocean freights
are low.

UNITED STATES.

The expected action was taken by the
Mississippi valley manufacturers last
week, when at a meeting of the price
list committee, several grades of white
pine were advanced in price. The new
list has not been received, but it is
understood that changes were made only

in the case of certain sizes which are in
short supply. It was shown at the
meeting that there is a very light stock of
dimension in large sizes, and that before
next spring manufacturers would be
completely sold out. The buying of
lumber is not particularly active, the
recent advance having checked the
demand, but manufacturers are
convinced that the condition of stocks
throughout the Mississippi and Wiscon-
sin valleys warrants a frm attitude. An
improvement in the conditions surround-
ing the carshortage situation is reported,
and as a result lumber is being shipped
in large quantities from Buffalo and
Tonawanda to the Eastern States. The
higher grades of pine are still advancing.
In our. Buffalo list the price of fine
common has been marked up about $2
per thousand, as well as No.1 and No.2
cutting up stock in 1% and 1% inch.
The feeling in Buffalo and Tonawanda is
that dealers are in full command of the
situation, and that there will be little
good pine lumber in the market by
spring. Thecity of New York is said to
be short of lumber, with prospects of a
heavy demand for building purposes in
the early spring. In the Saginaw valley
there is an equally confident feeling.
Reference to the price list will show an

‘advance of $3 on nearly all sizes of

uppers and selects, and of $2 on fine
common. No. 3 barn boards are also
slightly higher, selling on the basis of
$17.50 for 8 to 10 inch. Box lumber, 7
inch and up, brings $18. Shingles have
also been marked up to $3 for clear butts
im pine, and $3.50 for XXXX cedar.
Lath continues strong at $3 to $3.25 for
both pine and spruce in the Ajbany
market.

An imprevement is noted in the
hardwood market, and although the
demand is not active prices are becoming
firmer all along the line. Burch is scarce
and strong, but there is little doing in
maple and basswood. Hemlock lumber
has been advanced in New -York to the
basis of $15.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The timber business of Great Britain
is gradually getting into a stronger posi-
tion. The imports from Canada are al-
most at an end. This has caused liberal
buying for winter stock, as consumers
now realize that the market is likely to
advance. Canadian spruce is showing
unusual firmness. For two cargoes of
deals just arrived at Liverpool the ship

pers refused to entertain less than £8
cif. although a cargo from Cape Tor-
mentine, N.B., was recently sold to Liver-
pool buyers at £7 10s. London dealers
have sold third quality spruce, 3 x 9, 12
feet and upwards, at £8 12s 6d, but it is
doubtful that this low price will be re-
peated again this year. Alfred Dobell &
Company, of Liverpool, advise that spruce
deals and birch timber are in a decidedly
stronger position. Prices of pine deals
show some improvement. There is a
good demand for 11-inch, as well as for
siding and strips. Second quality is dull
of sale. Waney and square pine has
improved, and prices are stiffer. Ash is
little inquired for, and stocks are accumu-
lating. As far as can be learned, im-
porters have not placed contracts for next
year’s delivery, and it is improbable that
much will be done until after the turn of
the year.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

Tuttle Bros., of Wallace, N. S., have
contracted to saw 700,000 feet of lumber

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION

December 11, 1901

THE LOGGING SITUATION IN NEW
BRUNSWICK.

Last year out of atotal cut of about
140,000,000 feet of logs on the St. John
river, in New Brunswick, 11,500,000 feet
were hung up. This year the cut has been
133,000,000 feet, and ofit no less than 31,-
000,000 feet have failed to come down.
The drives which were hung up last year
were 5,000,000 feet of Kilburn’s logs and
6,500,000 belonging to the Woodman
estate. This yeat the 31,000,000 feet are
divided among different lumber operators,
nearly every one having some interest in
them.

Of the drives which have failed to come
down, 25,000,000 is regarded as being in
danger, while the other 6,000,000 is safe.
On the main river, just below Eel river,
are 10,000,000 feet of the lower corpora-
tion drive. The tail of this drive is twenty
miles below Woodstock and thirty miles
from the boom limits. It belongs to Geo.
Kilburn, W. H. Murray, Cushing, Stetson,
Cutler & Co., Charles Miller, N. H. Mur-
chie, Randolph & Baker, Cunliffe Sons,

and Dunn Brothers.

Another 10,000,000 is on the main river
above Grand Falls. It is owned chiefly
by W. H. Murray andis what is known as
Kilburn’s drive.

The balance of the 25,000,000 which is
regarded as being in danger, consists of

5,000,000 feet at present situated at the
head of the Aroostock Falls, _ It is part of
the big drive now below Eel river, which
failed to get into the main river. This
drive is owned by N. H. Murchie, Dunn
Bros. and Robert Aitken.

Besides these drives there are 6,000,000
feet lying in safety at three different points.
One drive of 2,000,000 is on the Fish river ;
another of 3,000,000 on the Northwest
river, both of these being owned by W.
H. Murray. On the St. Francis river there
is a small drive of 1,000,000 feet, owned
by Charles Miller.

The 25,000,000 feet are so situated that
if in the spring the ice runs out as it does
four times out of five all the logs wili be
saved. It is hoped that there will not be
a rise in “water, for if this should
occur the logs up river will be liable to be
brought into almost certain danger. In
the position in which they now lie they
will be quite easily saved, but a rise in the
water or a sudden running out of the ice
in the spring will make their loss almost
certain.

The cut this year was estimated at
135,000,000 feet and the returns to date
show this estimate to be a very correct
one. There have been rafted from the
Fredericton booms 35,332 joints, con-
taining a little over 67 tons of timber.
This is made up of 119,000 feet hem-
lock, 6,417,000 feet cedar, 3,768,000 feet
pne, 81,093,000 feet spruce, in all g1,-
917 ,000 feet.

Above the boom limits there have been
rafted 11,497,000 feet, making a total ofal-
most}103,000,000 which hasreached safety.

(CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Each week seems to add strength to
the white pine situation. Speaking at a
meeting last week of the Saginaw Lum-
ber dealers’ Association on the condition
of the lumber trade in Ontario, Mr. R.
H. Roys, of the Saginaw Lumber & Salt
Company, said that he did not know of a
single round lot of white pine unsold in
the Georgian Bay district. Mr. Roys is
familiar with the conditions and his state-
ment may be regarded as indicating the
small amount of unsold stock that is held
by Georgian Bay: manufacturers. In-
quiries are being received quite freely for
It is
almost certain that prices generally will
be fully maintained throughout the winter,
while an advance may be made in the
price of the upper grades, owing to their
scarcity. In the Ottawa ‘valley good
shorts, strips and sidings are most in de-
mand. Export shipments from that dis-
trict have ceased, but a considerable car
trade is being done with the Eastern
States. As in the Georgian Bay district,
stocks there are light and the outlook for
next season very encouraging. The scar-
city of pine shingles has caused buyers
to turn their attention to other varieties,
particularly cedars. At Ottawa mills
XXXX 18-inch cedar shingles meet with
ready sale at $2.75 per thousand. Such
changes as have taken place in hard-
woods is in the direction of improvement.
Manufacturers believe that early in the
new year a brisk demand for all kinds of
hardwoods will be witnessed.

From present indications a very small
stock of hardwood logs will be taken out
this winter. It is estimated that in the
Wiarton district the stock will not be
more than half as great as that taken out
last season.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The total exports of lumber from the
St. Lawrence river this season were,
approximately, 479,000,000 feet. This
is almost as great as last year, the falling
off from the port of Quebec being almost
made up by increased shipments of spruce
from Montreal. Prices for next season’s
production are firm, with no disposition
on the part of manufacturers to close con-
tracts except at a reasonable margin of
profit. Locally the demand for lumber
is quiet. Most of the large corporations
are now taking tenders on their timber
supply for next year. The city of Mon-

treal will likely require more
lumber than usual, as the construction
of sidewalks to the value of $153,631
has been recommended. Shipments of
clapboards and shingles continue to be
madetothe United States. For Boston
delivery extra cedar shingles bring $3.20;
clears, $2.90 ; second clears, $2.40;
saps, $2.15, and extra No. 1, $1.80.

UNITED STATES.

Conditions in the white pine lumbe:
trade of the United States continue very
satisfactory. The advance put in effect
by the Mississippi valley manufacturers
has been sustained, and apparently has
not restricted the demand. The new
list has been published, and shows an
advance of 50 cents a thousand on No..1,
2 and 3 dimensions ; $1 on 12-inch No.
1 and 2 boards ; $1 on selects; 50
cents on fencing ; $1 om siding in the
best grades, and 50 cents on lath. This
practically covers all of the advances of
importance. In the Saginaw valley it is
difficult to buy white pine stocks, and
there seems to be a shortage of thick
shop and better grades. There is some
evidence of improvement in Michigan
hardwoods and hemlock, while shingles
have never been so scarce as at the
present time, no dealer having a supply
to meet the requirements of his business.
Buffalo and Tonawanda yards are
carrying a large quantity of pine, but if
the demand keeps up stocks will be
badly broken before spring. There is
still a tendency on the part of good
lumber to advance. Certain dealers are
buying all the cutting-up grades that
they can find. The cheaper class of
lumber is not much asked for, while the
supply is large, with barn boards particu-
larly “plentiful. A feature of the past
week has been the buying for future
requirements. A Chicago dealer has
closed a contract for the purchase of the
entire cut of lumber made next season
by the Hamilton & Merryman Company,
of Marinette, Wis., which is expected to
aggregate 35,000,000 feet. One-half the
1902 cut cn the Menominee river is said
to have already been sold.

The conservative buying which has
been done by consumers of hardwocds is
responsible for more activity than usual
at the present time. Inquiries for future
delivery are becoming more numerous,
and prices are reported rather strong,
with an upward tendency on some of th
items. Birch is selling very satisfac-
torily, while elm and basswood are —

Il.

meeting with a moderate sale, and white
ash and maple are rather dull.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The fgures showing the stocks of
timber held at the leading ports of Great
Britain at the present time in comparison
with one year ago have exerted a good
influence upon the market, and have
caused importers to be more liberal in
their views regarding prices for next
season’s stock. The stock of timber in
the public docks at London on Novem-
ber 3oth was 22,240,000 pieces, as against
26,316,000 pieces ak the same date in
too. Pine deals and battens are repre-
sented by 1,461,000 pieces, an increase
of about 200,000 pieces over 1900.

Of spruce deals the quantity 1s
8&4,on0 pieces, a slight decrease from
the previous year. Oak, elm, ash and
white pine timber are held in smaller
quantity, while birch timber and
planks show an increase of 4,000 pieces.
The stock of pine deals in the Liverpool
district is 17,460 standards, an increase
of nearly 5,000 standards over 1900.
Spruce deals make a much more
favorable showing, the quantity being
only 9,730 standards, as against 2,180
standards one year agd. This is a de-
crease of over 50 per cent. and should
be sufficient to result in a continuance of
the firm tone which has characterized the
spruce market for the past month. For
spruce cargoes sellers are asking £8
c. i. f., and owing to the shortage there is
likely to be no difficulty in closing con-
tracts at this figure. Reports of brokers

covering the month of November tell of a
hopeful outlook for Canadian lumber.

The quotations for first quality “pine
deals range from £22 to £28 per
standard ; second quality, £18 to £21;
and third quality, £12 to 413. For first
quality in broad sizes from £26 to £28
can be realized. Waney board pine is
in good demand and the stock is light,
while square is little inquired for except-
ing when waney cannot be obtained.

The deal shipments from Parrsboro,

_N. S., this season were 21,835,480 super-

ficial feet, which shows a marked falling
off as compared with previous years. W.
M. Mackay shipped 14,322,869 feet,
George McKean 6,470,794 feet, and the
Newville Lumber Company 1,031,817

pine boards, 21,000 feet plank, and 20,000
feet spruce scantling, which were sold at
$25.50 for shipping and $21 for second
quality boards, $23 for plank, and $14.50
for scantling ; the Herbert Rice, with car-
go of 160,000 feet svruce, contracted for
on c.ief. terms; and the schooner Com-
rade, with white pine, which we sold at
$24.25 and $20.25 for shipping -and second
quality respectively. Other cargoes of
white pine and spruce on contract are
shortly expected. No arrivals of shingles
have taken place, and both long and di-
mension Gaspe cedar are wanted.”

THE GLASGOW MARKET.

Messrs. Wright, Graham & Co., in their
timber market report of November goth,
say:

Trade continues fairly steady, and prices
of most woods are firmer with a harden-
ing tendency. Builders have a moderate
amount of work on hand. Shipbuilders
still continue busy, but on account of the
collapse of the freight market very few
contracts have been placed recently, and
it is expected that by spring this branch of
trade will be ina very depressed condi-
tion. Cabinetmakers complain of a scar-
city of orders, and look forward to a quiet
winter. %

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

At this time of the year dealers are not
disposed to add to their stock of lumber,
but rather prefer-to reduce it as far as
possible for the annual stock-taking. Yet
during the past week there has been a
liberal movement of carload lots, showing
that dealers and consumers are in need of
the lumber. Very favorable reports are
heard on all sides regarding the pine
market, while hardwoods are showing a
slightly improved tone. Most of the pine
mills are almost completely sold out of
stock and are not in a position to fill large
orders. The advancing tendency of the
better grades has not yet ceased, and
some of the lower grades are being
marked up fifty cents a thousand. Manu-
facturers are receiving mumerous en-
quiries regarding quotations. for next
season. A large Georgian Bay firm re-
port that several buyers have made them
offers at current quotations for their entire
cut for next season, but they have not yet
sold, as they believe prices must further
advance. A fair trade is doing in hard-
woods, the demand being chiefly for 14
and 2 inch. Basswood leads in point of
activity, while maple and beech are quiet
and in comparatively heavy stock. The
opinion of the trade seems to be that
prices will be strong next spring, owing
to the small stock of hardwood logs that
is being taken out this winter. The
shingle market remains firm, with the
stock insufficient to supply the demand.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,

The spruce lumber market is quite
featureless. Local trade is at a standstill
and the demand from the United States
has slackened perceptibly, but the stock of
spruce lumber is limited and prices con-

tinue frm. The stock of deals that will
be carried through the winter is smaller
than was anticipated a couple of months
ago, and manufacturers are looking for-
ward toa strong market next spring ow-
ing to the small stock that will beavailable
for first-open-water shipment. A further
advance has been made in the price of
white cedar shingles.

_ Weather conditions throughout New
Brunswick have not been favorable for
logging operations. During the first two
weeks of this month there was a heavy
fall of snow, which made it almost impos-
sible to cut logs and interfered with yard-
ing operations. Later the weather be-
came extremely mild. It is said that the
cut on the north shore will be curtailed
from this cause at least 25 per cent.

UNITED STATES.

The features of the white pine trade of
the United States during the past two
months will long be remembered by
lumbermen, as the developments have
been almost the reverse to what might
reasonably be expected. Each week has
brought new elements of strength, and in
many cases higher prices. A comparison
of the prices ruling in the Chicago mar-
ket shows that at the close of navigation
nearly every grade of lumber was con-
siderably higher than at the commence-
ment of the cu‘ting season. Common
inch lumber sold early in the season at
$15 delivered in Chicago, and the same
grade is now quoted at $16.50 to $17.
Short piece stuff is selling at $14, an
advance of $1. Lath continued firm
throughout the season, although there
was no sustained advance except for No.
2 mixed, which is now saleable at $2.25,
while $2 was the spring quotation. No. 1
white pine lath is quoted at $3, and No. 1
mixed white pine and Norway lath at
$2.75. In the Lake Superior district
advances continue to be announced. At
Ashland, Wis., it is estimated that since
the close of navigation all kinds of white
pine lumber have advanced 25 per cent.
No. 4 boards have reached $10, and No,
5 boards $6. Narrow Norway sides are
going at $10, whereas $9 would have
bought them one month ago. The
buying has been by persons who realize
that they will need the lumber before the
new cut is ready. The stocks at Ashland
make a most favorable showing, the total
on hand being 79,000,000 feet, as com-
pared with 132,000,000 feet one year ago.
Of the above stock less than one-half is
for sale. Eartern dealers report a slight

falling off in demand owing to bad
weather, but notwithstanding this fact,
the higher grades are being steadily
advanced in price, while an improved
demand recently for the coarser grades
bas caused a stiffening in the prices for
this class of lumber also. The spruce
situation 1s practically unchanged except
that orders are a little less plentiful, and
here and there price concessions arg
made. It is now admitted that the
available supply of hardwood lumber is
less than was generally believed, and
consequently the tone of the market is a
little better. The total consumption
during the year has been fairly ‘arge,
while the depression earlier in the season
discouraged production. White ash is
rather heavy and seems likely to sell at a
lower price.
GREAT BRITAIN.

The import season for this year is now
closed, and for that reason considerable
interest is attached to the Board of Trade
returns. These show that the total import
of sawn and hewn timber to Great
Britain for the eleven months of this year
was 8,518,545 loads, and for the same
period last year 9,237,243 loads, a differ.
ence of 718,698 loads. Although the im-
port was not much lighter than last year,
the stocks in the public docks at London
on November 30th showed a decrease of
4,000,000 pieces as compared with the
same date one year ago. Thus, through
a period of depression the consumption
appears to have more than have kept

_pace with the importation, and it is only
reasonable to expect an expansion of the
timber trade next year. An unfavorable
factor is the slight business depression
prevailing at the present time throughout
most of the countries of Europe. Tim-
ber importers have as yet bought very
sparingly for next year’s requirements.
They are showing little disposition to
conclude contracts immediately, probably
for the reason that an opinion prevails
that the prices which shippers are asking
are unreasonably high. A meeting of

nail

the Importers Section of the Timber
Trade Federation was held in London
last week to ascertain whether it was not
possible to collectively oppose the high
prices which it is stated shippers intend
asking for next year. The result of this
meeting has not been learned. Prices
for good quality deals and battens are
firm, but for inferior qualities there is
very little demand. A cargo of St. John
spruce just to hand has been placed to
Bristol by Farnworth & Jardine at £7 15s
cif. As the cargo contained 60 per cent.
of 7 and 8 inch, the price is considered
very fair. At recent auction sales in
London two lots. of first quality 3 x 9
Canadian spruce brought 412 10 and
£'12 15s, and the 9-11 feet sold at £11 15s.

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.

The market for extras and clears in
cedar shingles is very strong. Retailers
are generally lightly stocked and the
makers are practically all cleaned out
of the above grades. In addition to the
firm outlook as indicated by the above, it
is current trade gossip that certain of the
commission houses are quite heavily sold
ahead—in other words, that they have
taken orders during the last two months
for more shingles than their sources of
supply could furnish. These orders were
generally taken at 15c. 25c. per
thousand less than the present market
prices, and the holders of these orders
are now beginning to fear that they will
be obliged to pay present full quotations in
order to place the business. This fear,
we believe, is well founded, as the manu-
facturers seem now to realize the full
strength of their position and are unlikely
to let down their prices simply to help
their commission friends. The winter's
production will be no more than normal,
and indications are that every shingle
that can be produced before May 15th will
be needed twice over. Of course, the
demand will be light during January and
February, but indications are that the
manufacturers know their business too
well to get frightened because they are
