The February number of the CANADA LUMBERMAN will contain the usual annual review of the lumber trade, for which the statistics are now being collected. Many manufacturers have supplied the informa- tion asked for in our circular letter, and We hope that those who have not respond- ed will do so at once. We shall also be glad to receive from any of our readers statistics as to produc- tion or shipments covering their district which would assist us to make our report as complete as possible. — CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. ONTARIO. Few lumber salesmen are on the road. Manufacturers and dealers are taking inventories and closing up the business for the past year. The movement of lumber, therefore, is comparatively light, although larger than at the corresponding time one year ago. Taken as a whole, the trade is in a very satisfactory condition. Stocks of the upper grades of white pine are fairly - heavy, but this is offset toa large extent by the small stocks of the lower qualities. The demand for mill culls was brisk throughout the entire year, with the result — that manufacturers are now almost com- p'etely sold out. pition that the early spring will witness an active demand for white pine, and it is expected that in some grades there may be an advance. The average of prices will probably be higher than in rgoa, but this will depend upon later developments. Red pine has declined considerably during the past twelve months and seems to be slow to recover. The hardwood market is two-sided. Some dealers have contracted for large blocks of stock and believe that the ten- dency is distinctly upwards, whereas, on the other hand, there are ample stocks for nearby requirements, and most manu- facturers are willing to accept orders at There is general antici- — It. CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION current prices. Itis known also that afew large consumers are fairly well stocked and will not be in the market for some time. As compared with one year ago, the supply of basswood is perhaps heavier than ary other lumber. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. There have been few transactions in spruce lumber on which to base a predic- The Quebec shippers are not urging sales. Within the however, conditions have improved and prices have advanced. Whether the improvement will be carried further will depend largely upon develop- ments in the British market. There is little or no profit in manufacturing deals and selling them at current prices, and unless the return to the manufacturer shall tion as to future prices. past month, be greater in the future, the production is likely to be much curtailed. There has been quite a recovery in clapboards, which declined from $6 to $8 per thousand feet during the past summer. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA, This is the dullest period of the year for the lumber trade of the West, the demand being confined almost exclusively to small lots of finishing stock. Dealers in the country districts are buying nothing worthy of note, and the next two or three weeks will be given up to maturing plans for the coming season. The outlook is uncertain. The consumption of lumber will probably be as great as during the past year, although building operations in Winnipeg may show some falling off. Prices should experieuce some recovery, but until condi- tions in British Columbia manufacturing circles improve, not much progress in that direction is likely to be made. UNITED STATES. The close of the year finds the lumber business of the United States in a healthy condition. No one is trying to-urge sales and such orders as are being booked are largely for actual requirements, although some dealers are contracting for the new cut. Stocks of most kinds of lumber are moderate. It is estimated that there is only 90,000,000 feet of all kinds on the docks at Duluth, and of this amount less than 50,000,000 feet is unsold. No. 3 shop and better is bringing from $18 to We have had over 15 Years Experience, and are not Asking our Competitors for any Pointers as to Quality. D. FERGUSON, LONDON, ONT., for Ontario. RED DEER LUMBER CO., WINNIPEG, MAN., for Manitoba and Territories. AGENTS $21 on dock at Duluth, No. 1 Common $19, and No. 2 Common $17, while No. 3 Common is strong at $15. In Chicago there is a scarcity of 2x12 dimension stock, on which the price has advanced from $18.75 to $20 within the past few weeks. The position of southern pine is very favorabie. The curtailment of pro- duction has resulted in a short supply and a recovery in price. It is said that the price on car stuff has advanced from $4 to $6 a thousand, and yard stock from $1.50 to $3. The mills have plenty of orders for the new year anda further enhancement of values is looked for. The hemlock market is quiet but steady. Prices in the Siginaw Valley rule at $12 and $12.50 for piece stuff and $13 for boards. The move- ment of hardwoods is somewhat light, but the undertone of the market is firm. Quartered oak is still dragging, while plain oak sells as fast as it can be found, being in very light supply. Rock elm and birch are in some demand, with more enquiry for 2 inch than for the thinner sizes. Maple does not appear to be very strong, ‘and estimates of 30,000,000 to 40,000,000 feet of dry stock carried over from last year have influenced sentiment somewhat. The maintenance of present prices of this lumber is about all that is expected. It is some years since white pine lath have been so scarce and holders are able to get almost any price they ask. The recovery in the price of red cedar shingles does not seem to have held in all instances | but asthe mills are still shut down, it is not easy to advance any good arguments in favor of lower prices. GREAT BRITAIN. Business in lumber is not expanding very rapidly, and despite the improvement which has taken place within the past month or six weeks, there is apparent on all sides a tendency towards conservatism. This may gradually pass away as the spring ‘approaches, especially if the Russian-Japanese war should come to an early termination and money become easier. The tightness of money is doubt- less exerting an influence upon the trade at the present time. There is much satisfac- tion in knowing that stocks of lumber on the British market are light and not likely to be greatly increased during the winter months. This condition should lay the foundation for a healthy demand as soon as new building operations are commenced. There seems little prospect of a decline in prices of white pine or spruce for future delivery, but it is still doubtful whether the increased prices which shippers are asking will be realized. As to the spruce situa- tion the Timber Trades Journal says :— ‘“‘Tn spruce the rise has been more rapid than we anticipated, and for a large s'eamer cargo from Miramichi, with about the usual large percentage of sevens and eights, shippers were recently asking £7 for the usual West Coast range. We think it would have been better if the ascent from about £6 2s. 6d. had been through more graduated stages, and had taken more time in the process. While the Liverpool market is more than amply stocked, and there are fears that consign- ments during the winter may be heavy, for which purpose the liner services would be available, in London values have been kept down by the low prices ruling for competing shipments of whitewood from Riga. In the Bristol Channel there are still considerable portions of the earlier and cheaper cargoes unsold, and the prices obtainable for spruce in the Mid- lands are [Soflow that material advances must take place before a fair profit upon the prices shippers are now asking for cargoes can become apparent.” Hard- woods are feeling the effects of a lack of demand from the cabinet trade and prices are’ no more than steady. Pfain oak planks are in favor and early shipments — will likely bring good prices. STOCKS AND PRICES.

NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER. (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) St. JouHNn, N.B., December 31st, 1904.— Since last writing very little of importance has taken place in the local lumber mar- ket. Shipments of all kinds have been light during the past month, particularly shipments by schooner to New England ports, but not more so than usual at this time of year. The lack of stimulus which always accompanies the holidays is very noticeable in both the American and Eng- lish markets, Very little is being done by any of the local firms in either of these directions, either in selling or delivering. While the quiet season lasts in the Eng- lish market any change in price is improb- able, as there is not enough demand to cause an advance and offerings are so light that the probabilities of a drop are practically void. On account of these conditions any at- tempt to use the prevailing figures as an indication of what will prevail in the Eng- lish markets in the near future would be ill-advised. Just what conditions will be predominant when the winter lethargy has been dispelled from this market it is not possible to positively state. A decidedly optimistic feeling is prevalent among the manufacturers and dealers in these parts. They are looking forward to next season, CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION confident that it will show a great im- provement over this season in prices and demand. In regard to prices of English deals, it would be svarcely correct to say that there has been any general advance dur- ing the last month, but it is certain that a specification containing the usual percent- ages of widths and ofan ordinary average length could not be bought, f.o.b. steamer St. John, less than $12.50 per M s,ft., two-thirds price for fourths and ends. Shipments of English deals have been quite as heavy as is usual at this time of year. Although no cargo made up entire- ly of lumber has has gone forward during that time, there were several large parcels shipped per the winter port steamers, and as there will be practically none manufac- tured in these parts for the next three months, there is no doubt that, when the time comes to resume sawing, it will find the wharves entirely cleaned up. Since last writing lath have shown a further decline. As mentioned in my let- ter of December rst, lath had dropped, following heavy receipts in New York and vicinity, from $2.35 to $2.10 per M, f.o.b. St. John. A drop of from 10 cents to 15 cents has now occurred, and Provincial lath can be bought at St. John for $2.00 per M. Stocks are not at all heavy for this time of the year, there being probably from four and one-half to five millions of lath distributed about the different wharves in this vicinity. In view of the decline in price mentioned above, it is altogether probable that the much greater part of these will be wintered in the hope that they will command a better figure in the early spring. WHITE PINE PRODUCTION AND STOCKS. The white pine mills at Duluth, Minn., manufactured during 1904 approximately 285,000,000 feet of lumber, this being a falling off of 104,000,000 feet when com- pared with the production in 1903. Of the entire cut the stocks on dock at Duluth and Superior towards the close of Decem- ber aggregated only 51,301,000 feet. The American Lumberman gives the following statistics of the production and stocks at January 4, 1905 the head of the lakes for the past eight years: Total amount.

There is an absolute shortage of this item. At the head of the lakes this conditioa is especially noticeable and it is commanding full list prices at all other points. The Miss- ssippi Valley Lumbermin says the situation c2nnot be remedied, but is calculated to become intensified with the advance of the building season. The mills are short of this stock and they cannot increase their _ Output within time to meet the -_require- ments of the demand.

The February number of the CANADA LUMBERMAN will contain the usual annual review of the lumber trade, for which the statistics are now being collected. Many manufacturers have supplied the informa- tion asked forin our circular letter, and we hope that those who have not respond- ed will do so at once. We shall also be glad to receive from any of our readers statistics as to produc- tion or shipments covering their district which would assist us to make our report as complete as possible. en ae tnrnreny CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. © ONTARIO, Weather conditions do not permit of much activity in lumber circles, but in- quiries are sufficient in number to encour- age the hope that the spring will witness a revival in the demand. The feeling is distinctly optimistic, and at the present time thereis scarcely a cloud en the lum- ber horizon. While some manufacturers are ‘carrying considerably .more 1umber than one year ago, the bulk of it has been sold and is awaiting shipment. Other manufacturers claim that their ’stocks are fully 50 per cent. less than one year ago. Although there has been no general advance in prices, nor would such seem reasonable at this period, a few manu- facturers who sell direct to the retail trade are asking an advance averaging $1 per thousand. No.1 cuts and better is per- haps the weakest item in the white pine list. Logging conditions are excellent. Haul- ing is making good progress and is likely to be completed earlier than usual. The cut in the Georgian Bay district is esti- mated at 75 per cent. of that of last year. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. The statistics of stocks of timber win- tering at Quebec show that the continued advance in the price of waney pine has affected the export. The stock is 1,268,- 937 cubic feet, as compared with 406,038 cubic feet one year ago. The stock of square pine, on the other hand, is the lightest on record, being only 347,067 cubic feet. Notwithstanding the large stock of waney, the trade are not antici- pating a decline in price, as the cost of production is very great. The result will probably be a marked reduction in the quantity manufactured during the present winter. Oak timber is also in greater supply, but elm shows a reduction of about 100,000 cubic feet. The lighter export of spruce deals is also responsible for a heavy wintering stock of that lumber, The logging season has been favorable II. in the Eastern Provinces and all manufac- turers are likely to be able to bank the estimated quantity of logs, although the total cut will be much smaller than last year. There will be a reduction in cedar as well as spruce, as the manufacture of shingles has not been profitable of late. Extras are still selling for Boston delivery at $3.25, and Clears at $2.80, with a rela- tively better demand for the latter. UNITED STATES. The present seasonable dullness in the lumber trade is expected to give place to more activity in the near future. Buyers are already visiting the producing points for the purpose of contracting for the new stock and picking up any dry lumber that is still unsold. Rail shipments from the Lake Superior district are increasing and the present supply of white pine is likely to be shipped out before spring, Eastern wholesale dealers are anticipating another reduction in the quantity of pine lumber produced and are therefore fortifying themselves as far as possible against a possible shortage by keeping their yards well stocked. In low grade pine this is not possible, for the supply is very light. Chicago dealers report a scarcity, of 12- inch boards and 12-inch dimension stock. The shortage of white pine piece stuff is being largely replaced by hemlock and southern pine and prices all round are very firm. The spruce situation is decid- edly in favor of the manufacturers, some of whom are turning down orders. Yard dealers in Boston are offering $17 for 2x3 and 2x4 and $18 for 2x8. Of the-hard- woods, oak and birch continue to lead. Plain oak is sold almost up to the saw, whereas quartered stock is accumulating. The position of white pine lath is such that a sharp advance may take place at any time. Dealers who have any are not Selling at present prices and it is the rule to offer a premium to secure stock. GREAT BRITAIN, The shipments of spruce deals by the regular liners have been smaller than anti- cipated. This has been beneficial to the British market and the improvement re- cently reported has been fully maintained. There is no indication thus far of next season's prices, but at the time of writing We have had over 15 Years Experience, and are not Asking our Competitors for any Pointers as to ‘Quality. D.

An increase in the consumption is reported. The de_ cline in the price of cotton has had a stim- ulating effect throughout Lancashire and it is said that a number of new cotton mills are to be built this year. Stocks of Canadian pine and spruce have now reached the point where they make a fav- orable comparison. Taking the port of Glasgow as an example, it is found that the supply of Quebec first pine deals is nearly a third less than one year ago. Second pine is about half, thirds are only a little more than half, and fourths about a third less. There is also a considerable reduction in. pine planks and boards. Spruce deals are 2,000,000 feet less, the present Glasgow stock being about 18,- 000,000 feet. The stock of red pine deals is slightly greater. A STOCKS AND PRICES. J. H. Conn expects to take out 600,000 feet of logs this winter in the vicinity of Franktown, Ont. C. J. Brown, City Clerk of Winnipeg, Man., is asking for tenders up to Tues- day, January 24th, for the supply of four carloads of tamarac piling. The St. Anthony Lumber Company, of Whitney, Ont. manufactured 45,000,000 feet of lumber last season and have only about 3,000,000 feet on hand. The Murphy Lumber Company, of Marksville, Ont. expect to cut about 3,000,000 feet of lumber during the coming summer. This will consist of hemlock, cedar and hardwoods. G. D. Campbell, who has purchased the property of the Sissiboo Pulp & Paper Company at Weymouth, N. S,, expects to” take out 7,000,000 feet of logs this win-» ter, which will be used for the manufac- ture of lumber and pulp. The Northwest Lumber Company, of Ponoka, N. W. T., are carrying over 1,500,000 feet of logs from last season and © will take out about a similar quantity this winter, thus giving them 3,000,000 feet to saw during the coming season. The Edward Hines Lumber Company have 10,000,000 feet of logs in the water CHE ONOY G at Duluth, Minn., left over from last year, and have just sold the lumber to be cut from them for delivery next spring. -No. 3 boards are worth $15 in the Duluth market. 4 The license for cutting timber on the eastern side of Nepisiquit, southeast of Gloucester Junction, N.

Throughout the year it has been dis- heartening to find so languid a market this once highly favored timber, but the further advance in prices demanded syear leaves no other alternative but ) seek elsewhere for substitutes. d oubt this further advance was justified by the greatly increased value of standing white pine, but a point has now been “reached affecting consumption to such an alarming extent that unless prices can be Petomnptly reduced the days of Canadian white pine logs are numbered.

Fer several years past the manufacturer of logs has much preferred to sell his timber for conversion into deals, the result being that only 38 loads found their way to this market. It is quite probable that owing to the unsatisfactory position of the red pine deal market, makers. of timber may be tempted to make some this winter. Exim Locs.—The statistical figures are interesting, and the import for the year shows a falling off of 63 per cent. as com- pared with last year. Throughout the year first-class rock elm has been ex- tremly scarce. There was little made or wintered at Quebec last year, and ship- pers had but little to offer, and what they had was at extremely high prices. It will be noticed that the consumption has been quite fair, and has removed quite a quantity of the soft elm from the market. The stock of 1200 loads of elm still with us consists chiefly of this latter wood, and there is really very little first-class rock of good average girth and length. It almost looks as if this class of timber was within measurable distance of becoming a thing of the’past. Oak Locs.—We started the year witha heavy stock, not only in the Clyde but also in Quebec, and therefore had every prospect of our stock being further in- creased. Fortunately, the import was moderate, but our chief consumers—viz., the railway companies—have, owing to aE SS sR ee) UIMAGK SHING e 9 e — @—_- Head Office, Chilliwack, B. C.

BIRCH.—The import of logs from Mon- treal and Quebec amounts to about 1030 loads, which is rather less than half ot last year, and from the lower ports about 500, against 2000 loads in 1903. With the demand always outpacing the supply, prices were firm throughout the year, and as stocksare exhausted early shipments will meet with an eager demand at, it is safe to say, full values. The arrivals of planks amounted to 2468 loads (chiefly from Halifax), as compared with 3400 loads in 1903, and met with fairly brisk demand at from 47 to £8 10s. per standard. The stock on hand is quite unusually low, and prospects for new ar- rivals are favorable. AsH.—The import of logs from Canada is 370 loads, and from the States about 650 loads, which compared with 240 and 1530 loads respectively in 1903. As has been the case for some years past, the demand for Canadian ash has been very slow, partly owing to the dulness of the furniture trade, and partly because buyers find so much difficulty in securing good logs of nice colour. The demand for States ash has also been very languid as compared with the past few years, and prices can hardly have proved satisfactory to shippers. Though the stock on hand is small, there is nothing in the situation to encourage shipments. QUEBEC DEALS AND BoARDS.—The im- port from the St. Lawrence has amounted to about 7500 standards pine and 10,000 standards spruce, being a decrease of 8000 standards on the previous year, and (Continued on page VI.)

OTTAWA, January 4th, 1905. — While there has been as yet no appreciable effect on the market quotations, a more hopeful feeling pervades the lumber offices as regards both the Ameri- can and British markets, and it is expeet- ed that 1905 will see an early increase in business. The long open season in the States worked an improvement in the shingle market, the continuance of building oper- ations creating a brisk demand. Cedar shingles, XXXX, 18 inch, are quoted at $3.25, and this is the lowest figure. Other lines, however, show no change, From the limits comes word of contin- ued activity in log cutting operations. A recent thaw worked to the improvement of the roads, packing down the snow, and making an early start on log hauling pos- sible. The fall was an ideal one for log cutting, and on nearly all the limits the work in this branch will be continued until the middle of this month. While some of the firms have taken an Ottawa \ ‘off’ year and suspended operations, others are increasing their output of logs. Amongst the firms that are maintaining en increased number of camps are J. R. Booth, Shepard & Morse, Fraser & Com- January 11, 1905 square and waney-timber, The firms up the line, pany, and A. & P.

Whe pulp and paper mills. The fact that such firms as McLachlin Bros. and Shepard & Morse are increasing their log output is indicative of the fact that the future of the lumber market is not giving any cause for alarm. Of the firms that are out of the business this year, only one, the Hull Lumber Company, manufactured logs. The others, Edward Moore, Robert Hurdman and R. H. Klock & Company, confined their attention to the manufacture of The hemlock situation remains un- changed.

The situation is therefore firm and an air ot expectancy is felt which indicates that Aa advances upon present prices are not im- ‘probable very soon after the first of the year.

Dimension is 5 meeting with a steady demand, which is keeping a large volume of this item mov- ing. . A strong feature of the market is the persistent inquiry for quotations upon large amounts.

ONTARIO. © Lumber conditions in Ontario are much the same as one week ago. Consumption is at the mmimum, with no prospect ‘of _ an improvement within the next month. There are some enquiries for pine lumber for future delivery, but the unwillingness of manufacturers to give concessions to effect sales is limiting the volume of orders which is being booked. It is believed that buyers will come into. the market early, and when contracting for the new cut is once commenced there is likely to be con- siderable activity and a display of confi- dence which is not now visible. Ottawa advices this week are quite optimistic. Another good building season in Toronto is almost assured, and dealers are antici- pating even a larger consumption of lumber locally than in 1904.. Given a satis- factory United States trade, which is altogether probable, there seems no reason to expect a decline in the price of either white pine or hardwood lumber. This remark may be applied with greater emphasis ‘to shingles, for present prices are low and an advance of some propor- tions might easily be brought about. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. The demand for spruce lumber is not heavy, but the conditions are such that prices are easily maintained. The plans of the operators for a limited input of logs are being carried out.and it is quite certain that there will be a reduction, as compared with a year ago, in Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. British specifications will figure less prominently in the lumber production of the year and more attention will be given to the Ameri- can market. ° There has been a slight improvement/in New Brunswick cedar shingles, although it has not been sufficiently pronounced to warrant a change in our quotations. It is understood that some Extras have béen contracted for at $3.25 and Clears at $2.85, for Boston delivery. UNITED STATES. Under the ‘influence of unfavorable weather, the lumber business in the Unit- ed States has not expanded during the past week. _Some dealers are picking up stock at what they consider satisfaciory prices and there is a general feeling that the spring trade will open up earlier than usual and probably be larger than that of 1904. White pine is not meeting with as severe competition from southern pine as when the prices of the latter were con- siderably lower, and in such grades as are scarce'an advance may take place in. the near future. The committee on values of the Southern Lumber Manufacturers’ Association advises the members that prices on finishing stock, flooring and ceiling can be advanced $1 to $1.50 a thousand. All rough finish and dressed and matched lumber is in short supply. Coarse inch lumber in white pine is re- ported to be exceptionally scarce at Chi- . cago, with an active demand fur No.4 and No. 5. The former grade is reported to be selling at $15 for delivery in that city. The statistical position of hemlock in. Michigan is considered sufficiently strong to warrant an advance of 50 cents, and many manufacturers have raised their prices accordingly. Stocks in hand are moderate. Hardwoods are firm, with activity confined to plain oak, white ash, soft and rock elm, maple and _ birch. There is plenty of basswood offering and so far there has been little improvement in the demand. i Some dealers have endeavored to acquire a supply of lath for the spring trade, but Lave met with little success. White pine lath is practically out of the market. There is an average supply of spruce lath, which is selling in the Boston market at $3.40 for 15 inch and $3.10 to $3.15 for 1% inch. Shingles are no more than holding than own. Some of the mills in Washington have advanced the price of red cedars five cents, but this is about the limit. GREAT BRITAIN. * The publication of the figures showing the quantity of lumber on the public docks at the leading importing centres of 4Jreat Britain has exerted a beneficia! influence upon the trade, as the comparison with last year is most favorable to holders of It. CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION lumber. At the close of the year the stal stock of Baltic deals and Canadian white pine and spruce deals and boards is about 4,000,000 pieces less than one year ago, which is computed as equal to 60,000,000 feet. Although the shortage at other ports is not correspondingly large, it is sufficient to strengthen the belicf in a firm market for some time to come. Whether prices will further ad- vance will depend in large measure upon the course of consumption, but it seems reasonable to expect that any change in values will be towards a higher level. Spruce deals are showing considerable strength, the relatively low price having slimulated the consumption. Quebec square and waney pine is not moving actively, as owing to the high price substitutes are being purchased to a considerable extent: Elm and birch have appreciated in price and are statistically in a strong position. STOCKS AND PRICES. Pugsley Bros., of River Hebert, N.S., are operating in the woods this winter on a limited scale. No. 1 white pine lath are selling at Calumet, Mich., at $3.50 a thousand, the highest price known in that district. The Morgan Lumber Company, of Blind River, Ont., are announced to have sold their stock of norway lumber, amounting to upwards of 4,000,000 feet. The Seaman-Kent Company, of Mea- ford, Ont., are supplying the hardwood flooring for the new departmental store of the T. Eaton Company in Winnipeg. The total receipts of lumber by vessel at ‘Bay City and Saginaw during the season of 1904 were 126,602,039 feet, also 23,581,- ' 600 pieces of lath and 5,403,139 pickets. Over 20,000,000 feet of lumber was cut . last year by the four companies operating _ at Prince Albert, N.W.T., and it is prob- able that the output of this year will be still larger. Slack cooperage stock is quiet and some of the cooperage mills have shut down for the winter, First-class elm flour barre ' staves are quoted by jobbers at Buffalo at $9 to $9.50, first-class basswood heading at 6% to 7 cents, and coiled hoops at $9.25 to $9.75 for 6-foot.

Burk’s Falls, Ont. Keenan Bros., A license to expire August 1st, 1905, for cutting timber on a two-mile timber berth on the Miramichi Portage Road and Five Mile Brook, Bea of Cross Creek, was sold at auction at the Crown Lands Office, Fredericton, N.B., last week. It was bid in by the applicant, John Gibson, of Fredericton, at the upset price of $20 per square mile. The Inglewood Pulp Company some time ago purchased the timber limits of Knight Bros. in St. John, Queens, Kings, and Charlotte Counties, N.B. A large portion of this property was swept by fire and the standing timber partially de- stroyed. The Inglewood Company have therefore decided to cut the timber as quickly as possible and the present win- ter’s cut will probably be in the neighbor- hood of 20,000,000 feet. Messrs. Denny, Mott & Dickson, of London, Eng., say of oak : ‘‘ Oak has been very much handicapped by competi- tion with the cheaper American article, and whether the production of Quebec oak is small or large, the quality has too much fallen off of late years to enable it to justi- fy its claim to fetch much higher prices than other descriptions of oak ; the out- look is, therefore, a poor one unless its cost at the shipping ports can be radically cut down.” Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Company review the Barbados lumber market as follows : ‘* The schooner Lewanika to our ueighbors brought a mixed cargo of white pine and spruce, of which they offered and sold 25,000 feet of merchantable and 7o,- ooo feet of second quality white pine at $26.50 and $20.53 respectively, the spruce being in fulfilment of a contract made in September at $22.50 and $18.50 for ship- ping. and second quality ; a small lot of 13,000 feet of spruce ex. Blenheim was sold at $17 round. As advised in our last, the market for second quality white pine is fairly well stocked, but merchant- able description is inquired for and mod- erate shipments will do well. Spruce is not in heavy supply and one or two small cargoes would meet with a ready sale. The barque Blenheim from Paspebiac, Que., arrived during the fortnight with a cargo of shingles. . The Long Gaspe was sold by our neighbors at $5.50 per thous- and, while for a small lot of same to our- selves we obtained $5.67. For 500,000 Laying Cedar by same vessel the con- signees obtained $2, at which price 850,- ooo by Lewanika were placed, and we also sold 100,000 ex. Ocamo at the same rate. One hundred and fifty thousand Clear Cedar Laying ex. Lewanika, not realizing consignees’ ideas, were stored. Our market is now well supplied with all descriptions and we must look for lower values for next arrivals.” LUMBER AND SHINGLES AT TONAWANDA.

Ottawa, Jan. 9th, 1904.—The outlook in the Ottawalumber market is a decidedly Usually the contracts for- the British market are made in November, _ but on account of the unsettled state of _ the foreign market, this business was put off this year till February. Watson & Todd secured one lot of deals from the . Robert Hurdman Estate and manufactured at Fraser & Company’ s.new mill in No- vember at a decline of 5 per cent. on It was of the business was postponed until Feb- Discussing the move, a leading _ local manufacturer said to-day that the English buyers will find next month that it would have paid them better to have. fol- lowed the usual plan and made their con- tracts in November. Conditions have so _ changed, according to this authority, that the manufacturers will be justified in hold- ing out for better prices next month. ' There is a good, healthy outlook and con- ditions are improving in both the Amer- ican\and British markets. From another reliable quarter it was learned that one of the leading. firms of the Ottawa Valley had closed out their next summer's cut of high grade white pine to an American concern at a deilar advance on the prices ruling a year back. A Tonawanda lumber buyer, who was in Ottawa this week, said that stocks across the line were so low that heavy and early spring buying of Canadian white pine would have to be resorted to. The American dealers were apprehensive about the future of both the buying and selling ends of the business and only pur- chased in lots sufficiently large to satisfy immediate demands. They have nostocks of any sizeto meet future business, and will have to buy soon and in liberal quan- tities in order to be able to handle spring business. Here is to be found one of the chief reasons for the optimistic feeling in the Ottawa district. According to general report, the cut of square timber this winter will amount to a million and a half cubic feet, as compared with two anda half million feet the year previous. The principal firms engaged in manufacturing square timber this sea- son are Thomas Mackie, ex-M. P., Pem- broke ; Graham & Ferguson, Ferguson & McFadden, Munro & Coxford and Mason & Gordon, all of North Bay. J R. Booth is also cutting square timber on the Butt limit, while the other concerns mentioned are working in the Nipissing country on the limits purchased from the Ontario Government a year ago. In addition to the million and a half being manufactured there is about half a million cubic feet of square timber left over on the limits from last season. This belongs to Edward Moore, Ottawa, R. H Klock & Com pany, Fraser & Company and the Robert Hurdman Estate, none of which concerns are making square timber this season. The Hull Lumber Company and the Rideau Lumber Company are also out of this branch, and J. R. Booth is working on a reduced scale. From the limits comes the report that log drawing is well advanced. While some of the firms are finishing up log making, others will continue it on through the winter. Natural conditions are satis- factory. Thecost of log production should be less thisseason than in the two pre- vious years. Wages are lower and the men are doing more and better work. Team hire is also an easier proposition, showing a decrease of twelve per cent, Provisions all round are easier, for while flour is higher than last year, porkis low- er in price. The situation on the whole should show at least a slight reduction in the cost of log production, and there should be more money in the business for the manufacturer. TIMBER LIMIT TRANSACTIONS. W. A.

VANCOUVER, B. C., JANUARY. 9TH, 1905. —As far as prices are concerned things the new have proceeded quietly since schedule was issued by the British Colum- bia Lumber and Shingle Manufacturers’ Association on the zoth ultimo. Every one is satisfied, with the exception perhaps of the consumer, and he has to be. The cuts which were made in the figures were directly in favor, and since the regular rates have been resumed, while the mill- man and contractor are better pleased, the consumer has-to pay more for his lumber. The general reduction, though, operates in his favor. Discounts off the new list are small, only 5 per cent. being offered on large lots. There seems to be no diminution in build- ing. The year just closed was a busy one, and the value.of permits issued in Van. couver totalled within a hundred or two of $2,000,000. Already this year many appli- cations have been made, and extensive operations will be carried on in all parts of the city. Foreign trade has seen something of the old time activity during the past week or two, when three departures were made, leaving two vessels loading at the Hast, ngs mill. The Pallas left for Callao, the CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION Lottie Bennett for Iquique, and the British ship’ Falklandbank for Greenock. The County of Dumfries is loading for London, and the German bank Osterbek for Callao: The Sayward Company, of Victoria, shipped on one of the Kosmos liners last week the first consignment of lumber to Mexico. Some 200,000 feet were sent, and it is hoped that this is the beginning of a large trade. Business has. not amounted to much between Mexico and British Columbia in regard to lumber, though ships have carried various kinds of timbers to Santa Rosalia, on the Lower Californian peninsula. Americans are dealing largely in British Columbia timber, with the idea of holding it until prices are better, because of larger demand. They recognize that this prov- ince will be one of the last resorts for lumber on the continent, and some of the best timber is being taken up. In the interior among those from south of the border who hold extensive areas are the Mundy Lumber Company, of Bradford, Pa. ; Otis Staples, of Stillwater; the Mc- Goldrick syndicate, of Minneapolis’; the Elk Lumber and Manufacturing Company, composed of Minnesota people, and others. Recently on the coast was the large pur- chase of the Atland syndicate, of Detroit, and as a direct result other Michigan peo- ‘January 18, 1905 : i ple are now negotiating for tracts, larger than have ever before been disposed of in one deal. They are after 400,000 acres, but further than that details are not obtain- able. Company, on the ground that it was an attempt to secure timber for speculation cheaply, and that the timber was mostly fir and cedar, and not suitable for pulp purposes. A petition to have this license cancelled is now in circulation. The loggers also favored the placing of a duty — on lumber entering Canada from = : United States. The Canadian Pacific Pulp and | ae : Company has announced its intention to erect right away a saw mill of about | 40,000 feet daily capacity, anda sulphite pulp plant which will turn out from 35 to. 40 tons per day of the best quality. Ship- ments are expected to be made within a year. ae Loggers of the mainland coast have reorganized thei association, which has been allowed to lapse since the disastrous season of the fall of 1903. New officers appointed were : J. S. Emerson, president; H. Gilley, vice-president ; W. J. Paterson, secretary-treasurer ; committee, W. H. Higgins, Capt. Magnesen, D. Esson, C. T. Moore, H. Whitaker, Nels Moran and D. McKinnon. It is the attention to maintain a schedule of prices, and effect ; other objects of organization. At the meeting on Thursday last a protest was sent to the Government at Victoria against granting land to the Pacific Coast Pulp and Paper The assets of the Poulin Lumber Com- pany, of Ottawa, were to have ties sold by the assignee on Monday last..

SS CURRENT- TRADE CONDITIONS: ~~~ ONTARIO, The developments of -the past “week have strengthened the belief that lumber’ prices will harden as the spring approach- es. There have been a few important. transactions and a substantial increase in. the number of enquiries. The opinion is becoming more general that there will be. considerable activity in lumber circles during and that, unless unexpected developments arise, the | demand will be brisk. The production of white pine lumber cannot be as large as in 1904, for it will be governed by the in- put of logs this winter, which has been considerably curtailed. With a moderate demand for lumber there should be no- difficulty in obtaining satisfactory prices, even if the British market should not ab- sorb as much of our lumber as in other years. The higher grades of pine, which were somewhat neglected last year, are now showing a better tone. For 2-ineh No. 2 cuts and better, for instance, $44 at the mill is being asked. United States buyers have been looking over the Ontario stocks and have purchased one or two large blocks. Hardwoods do not seem to be exhibiting as much strength as pine, © although there is not much pressure to_ sell, the high cost of production being an incentive to manufacturers to persistently oppose any reduction in price. The strength of the Jath market is shown by the fact that some Georgian Bay manufacturers have disposed of their com- ing season’s cut at $2.75 for No. x and 2.25 tor No. 2 at the mill. Other trans- actions could be closed but for the un- willingness of manufacturers to accept these prices. They apparently believe the spring, II. that the situation warrants $3 for No. 1 and $2.50 for No. 2, and have fixed their quotations accordingly. No. 1 Norway lath is being held at $2.65 and $2.75, and No. 2 at $2.15 to $2.25. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. Since the first of the year a number of building permits have been taken out in Winnipeg, and indications point to another active season and a large consumption of lumber. There is not much activity at the present time, but dealers are getting their stocks in shape for the spring trade. The annual meeting of the Western Re- tail Lumbermen’'s Association in Winni- peg was the feature of the past week. The outlook in British Columbia is a little brighter, two or three of the largest mills having resumed operations. Orders are more plentiful but prices are very low and there is little profit in either lumber or shingles. The log market is showing unexpected activity and rumors of a corner are heard. It appears that a Vancouver dealer has been steadily increasing his log holdings, with the result that he is now said to con- trol the market at a time when the de- mand is improving. \ UNITED STATES, The movement of lumber is not sufficient to influence prices to any extent, but there is every indication that there will be more activity in the near future. It is believed that there will be a large consumption of lumber for various purposes during the year, and as this fact is generally accepted dealers are keeping closely in touch with the conditions and will no doubt become buyers when there are indications of an fh ' advance. From Buffalo and Tonawanda ae comes the report that market prospects are decidedly better and that a scarcity in some of the barn and higher grades of pine is developing. The low grades are. very firm, but have shown no change in price for some time. Conservative dealers are opposed to an advance unless it should be actually forced upon them by the manufacturers, as they fear that it might discourage building and bring about a decrease in the consumption. One thing is certain, namely, that if prices do not advance there will be no cutting in any ot We have had over 15 Years Experience, and are not Asking our Competitors for any Pointers as to Quality. CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION the grades, and consumers may feel cer- tain that they can make no mistake in buying at present prices. The outlook is for a decreased production of pine and spruce lumber this year, but there will probably be an average quantity of hard- woods manufactured. At advance in the price of plain oak is expected. It is figured that it should sell around $50 be- fore it will strike the proper relation with the quartered stock. The statistics of the white pine lumber product of the States of Michigan, Wiscon- sin and Minnesota, which appear in this - issue, show that there was a decrease of 600,000,000 feet in the cut of 1904 as com- pared with 1903. Notwithstanding this decrease, the stock at the mill is about 300,000,000 feet greater than one year ago. GREAT BRITAIN. The British lumber market is showing some hesitation and there is not likely to be much contracting for stock nntil the course of the general trade of the country can be more definitely determined. Last year the importers did not cluse contracts before April or May, which was later than usual, anda similar disposition to defer business is shown this year. As very _ little lumber is being received from Can- ada, and asstocks are light, the recent recovery in prices is easily maintained. There is not a large demand for pine deals, but considering the ‘decline in the North of Europe lumber, they continue re- latively firm. At the moment the possible effect of the disturbances in Russia is be- ing freely discussed, but few are prepared to venture an opinion. STOCKS AND PRICES. et MGESRES soy “Burtis; of opieesalon™ ‘Ont., who cut upwards of 17,000,000 feet of lumber last season, has only 5,000,000 feet on hand. He also cut 4,300,000 pieces of lath. The Edward Hines Lumber Company, of Chicago, are reported to have con- tracted for all the lumber to be cut this season by the Carney Lumber Company, of Massey, Ont. Pitts & Charlton, of Toronto, have sold to an American firm all the lath to be manufactured by them at Victoria Harbor during the coming season. The price is understood to be $2.75 at the mill, and they expect to cut between three and four million pieces.

B., Jan. 16th, 1905. — The stagnation usual at this time of year in lumber circles is very apparent just now in this vicinity. Shipping to the west- ward by waterhas entirely ceased and scores of vessels are tied up for the winter at this port. is the shipping now and then of miseellan- “eous lots of deals by the winter port steam- ers. * In looking over the stocks on the differ- ent wharves one characteristic which is very prominent in most of them is the large quantity of spruce boards. The past season has been remarkable for lack of demand in this line in the American market, in which the mutch larger part, in fact nearly all of the spruce boards manu- factured in New Brunswick are disposed of, whether products of this province or of Maine. Tendollars per M. ft. for dut- iab!e inch spruce boards has been during the last four or five years the standard price, which figure was subject to very little fluctuation, and when any change did occur it invariably meant a higher “price.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. ONTARIO, That the lumber market is gradually strengthening is plainly evident. The num- ber of enquiries regarding the new cut which are being received by the manufac- turers is very encouraging and an evi- dence that dealers are disposed to pur- chase stock. This is further empasized by one or two important contracts which have recently been closed. Business can be done whenever the manufacturer is willing to accept the prices of the early winter, but in some quarters advances have been made, causing buyers to look around in other directions in the hope of II CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION finding lumber which hasnot been brought into line with the increase. Nevertheless, those who are asking higher prices be- lieve that there is strong ground for their position and that the developments of the spring will be favorable to the holder of lumber. The report comes from Otiawa that despite the’ slight decrease in the cost of log production, the Ottawa Valley mill men will hold out for last season’s prices. Hardwoods are firmly held and im- the buying movement shows some provement. The supp'y of hardwoods, however, is likely to prove equal to the demand and no important change in price is anticipated in the near future. The de- velopments in the lath market are being watched with considerable interest. A wholesale firm in Western Ontario have been heavy buyers of late and now control a considerable percentage of the available supply. The suggestion of a corner, how- ever, is not considered seriously. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA, There is as yet very little activity in lumber circles throughout Western Canada, bnt many are confident that the present year will witness some recovery from the low prices which have prevailed. There is certain to be a large consump- tion of lumber, timber and ties in connec- .. tion with railway extension and improve- ments undertaken by the Canadian Pacific ‘and Canadian Northern Railway, and while building in Winnipeg may not be as active as during the past year, there is reason to believe that a large quantity of lumber will be required for that purpose. The present low price of lumber should stimulate consumption. The statement has been published that the Mountain Lumber Manutacturers' Association pro- pose to establish retail yards throughout the Northwest, but we shall defer a dis- cussion of this question until more definite information as to the intention of the manufacturers is to hand. UNITED STATES, Climatic conditions in the United States have been opposed to any increase in the movement of lumber and nothing more than a normal trade has been done. The demand from the country districts is light» but this is attributed largely to the diffi- culty of handling lumber at this season of the year. The demand from this quarter will make itself felt upon the first sign of spring and a heavy trade is anticipated, Inquiry is active and there are no weak spots in the white pine market. The in- creased stocks in Minnesota are confined chiefly to small mills in the interior and will be consumed without perceptible effect upon prices. Low grade boards have lost none of their recent strength, while the better quality of pine is exhibit- ing a stronger tone than for some months past. Itis stated that mill culls sold in Duluth last week at $14 and scoots at $9.25. Spruce is maintaining its strength and some manufacturers have declared their intention of holding their stock at an advance of 50 cents per thousand. Hem- lock was never in better position. Among the hardwoods, maple, birch and elm are selling freely, while basswood lags be- hind both in price and demand. There has been a sharp advance in lath at Chicago, the current prices being $4 to $4.25 for No. 1 white pine and $3.50 to $3.75 for No. 1 mixed. Spruce lath have been but little affected by the strength in white pine, as they continue to sell in Boston at $3.40 for 1 5-8 inch and $3.15 for 134 inch. GREAT BRITAIN. The year has opened with a much im- proved outlook for lumber in Great Brit- ain. As we have previously stated, stocks at London and Liverpool are unusually light and the consumption is showing signs of being considerably larger than last year, the shipbuilding and other con- suming industries being in a more pros- perous condition. There are still some influences against any substantial im- provement, but these, it is hoped, will be removed before the importing season has been reached. So far as can be learned, British importers have not yet contracted for their regular supply of Canadian pine and spruce, but we believe they are pre- pared to admit that more favorable terms could have been obtained in December than at the present time, for the improve- ment in the United States market has en- couraged our manufacturers to hold out for firm prices for British specifications. The present tendency of prices on this side of the water is upward, and if British importers want our lumber they must be prepared to meet the American competi- tion. It is understood that the railways in Great Britain are likely to consume a considerable quantity of oak this year, and the outlook is favorable for higher prices for that timber. THE BARBADOS MARKET. The following report of the Barbados lumber market is furnished by Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Company: “The arrivals of lumber have been as follows: Schooner Laura C, from Liver- pool, N. S., with 286,000 ft. white pine, principally second quality; E. A. Post, from Tusket Wedge, N.S., 184,000 ft. white pine, spruce and hemlock; Leah A. Whidden, from Halifax, N.S., 205,000 ft. white pine and hemlock. Of the above the Laura C, failing to obtain an offer, went on to Demerara. The white pine ex E, A. Post was sold at $25.76 mer- chantable, $19.56 second quality and shipping spruce at $22.26. The cargo of the Leah A. Whidden was sold at $24.50 merchantable, $18.50 second quality, and $19. for hemlock. The Briardene, from Halifax, also had 53,000 ft. spruce and hemlock, for which $22.08 was obtained for former and $19 for latter description. Our market is now heavily stocked with white pine, especially second quality, as late cargoes have consisted principally of this, and we were fortunate in placing a cargo to arrive shortly, which was repre- sented as really good, and consisted of 145,000 ft. merchantable and 35,000 ft. second quality, at $26.00 and $21.00 re- spectively. There are reports of other vessels on the way here, and we fear that prices may decline somewhat. Spruce is not in heavy stock, but with cheap white pinein their yards, we expect deal- ers will not show much anxiety to buy. No arrivals of shingles to note, and it is reported that the schooners Calderwood he Cook & Bros. Lumber Co. Of Ontario, Limited MILLS at eT AASCE Algoma pats **Soo”’ Branch C.P.R. Ont. © .

Stocks of these, however, are ample to meet the demand, which is very slack. Some sawn Cypress ex. Adonis, which we reported in our last as having being imported for a dealer, were evidently rejected, as consigners offered them for sale, and accepted $3.25 for 4x 18, and $4.50 for 6x 18 and 6 x 24.” J.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION ~“. -February 1, 1905 NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER. (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) St. JoHn, N.B., January 31st, 1905.— The lack of life in all branches of the lum- ber industry is still the predominant feature as regards this part of the country. The coming season is attracting the attention of the local lumbermen to a much greater extent than the small transactions of the present month. The stocks of English deals on the local wharves are decreasing slowly but surely. Several shipments, ranging in quantity from 25 to 125 standards, have gone for- ward since January 1st by the liners which make this port their winter terminus. The sum-total of all holdings of English at this port would range from 7,500,000 sup. feet to 8,500,000 feet, the latter figure being the outside estimate. The much greater part, in fact practically all, of this quantity has been secured and is now held by local commission houses. It is probable that the bulk will not be put upon the market before the end of three months, and not then if the indications apparent at that time warrant the holding of it still longer. As far as can be learned (and this quot- ing the best local authorities), the volume of business in the English market is so small that ‘the prevalent prices could scarcely be named as general nor yet as indicative of what figures will prevail a month hence. But it is conceded on all sides that at the present moment all con- ditions tend to an improvement with the resumption of trade; the dealers on the other side of the water are carrying small stocks, the prospects point to an excellent business in the building line and shippers seem to be in no haste to put their goods upon the market. In the United States the prospect for New Brunswick spruce deals seems parti- cularly good, Here, too, stocks are very light and arrivals few and the indications point to a boom in building. For boards and scantling the outlook in this direction is not so bright. Last sea- son business in these lines was very dull, the demand deing at all times small when the supply is considered. At this stage there is no sign of improvement that could be called unmistakable. While the receipts from New Brunswick of this line of goods in the United States market have been very light during the last four months, prices have not rallied nor is it considered that there is any prospect of their doing so in the immediate future. The price of spruce lath continues to fluctuate. Since last writing there has been an improvement of 25 cents per M. New Brunswick product lath are now quoted at $2.10 and American at $2.35 per M. f.o.b. St. John. BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER. (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) VANCOUVER, B. C., January 23rd, 1905. —Prices of logs are very firm and an ad- vance is looked for within the next month or two. It means that the corner attempted ‘by Mr. J. S. Emerson has been sucessful. Several months ago when depression existed in the logging industry, Mr. Emer- son quietly went to work and bought up as much of the available supply as was possible. The mills were closing down because of slow demand, and to make the usual repairs, and having logs on hand they didnot augment their supply. Lately some of the mills have started again, and spring orders are beginning to come in, with the result that logsare wanted. The price goes as high as $7.50 at present, and wil] probably continue at top-notch figures until nearly June. It is expected there will be an increase of about $1 during the next 30 or 60 days, andanother rise after that. Then the price will be the highest ever known in British Columbia. There will be considerable disappoint- ment if no duty is placed on lumber enter- ing Canada from the United States, for in anticipation of this action of the Dominion Government, all the mills are preparing for a big cut during the coming summer. Particularly in the interior, large amounts of logs are being taken out, and the mill- men there confidently hope that the limited Canadian market will be reserved for Canadians. Settlers in the Territories will get their lumber cheaper this year than ever before. The move anticipated a couple of months ago of the whole of the lumber manufacturers of this province withdrawing from the Western Retail Lumber Dealers’ Associatoin, has been taken, and the western mills will establish depot yards in the Territories. Thus lumber will be sold to the consumer direct, and the profit of the middleman will be saved. If no dutyis placed on lumber, there is no use denying that condi- tions will be serious. ‘‘ If the Government does not grant protection, it may not be improbable that there will be a price war,” a well knownlumberman said, ‘‘ for the retailers will be supplied by American mills, and the lumber manufacturers of Canada will have their ownyards, Every effort, though, will be made to stave this off.” Mr. John Hendry, president of the B.C.

While the consumption of lumber is quiet,’ enquiries for future delivery are more numefous and the market~continues very firm. Everybody is looking forward to an active spring trade, and as stocks carried by the retail dealers are not large, the buying movement may commence earlier than usual. It is probable that be- fore the mills are put into operation for the season’s work, the stock in the yards will have been largely sold out. The new cut is now engaging the attention of buyers, and the indications are that the manufacturers will realize prices quite as high as one year ago. Within the past two months all grades of white pine have been marked up, but the greatest advance has been in the upper grades which suf- fered a © material-decline last summer. Everything above No.3 cuts and better has been advanced about $4 per thousand. For inch No. 1 cuts and better $47 at the millis being asked,and fors 4 to2 in.,$50. No. 3 cuts and. better are held at $35 to $36. Inch dressing and better shorts are worth $24 at the mill, box and common’ shorts.-$14,.log run siding $17, and 1 X 6and 8 inch mill run $18. For 1 xX fo and 12 mill culls $14 is asked. In hemlock there has been an advance of from 50 cents to $1’per thousand, 2 x 6 to 12 irich, in 10 to 16 feet lengths, being held at $13 to $13.50. -There'has been no il CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION change in hardwood prices. The furni- ture and implement factories are buying a little more liberally. Lath prices have again advanced and manufacturers are now asking $3 as the minimum price for No. 1 white pine, with some mills holding out for $3.15. For No. 2 pine $2.40 to $2.50 is asked. Other kinds of lath have followed the course of white pine, 4-foot hemlock being now held at $2.50, and 32-inch at $1.25, as compared with $2.10 and 90 cents a few weeks ago. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. The severe weather throughout Mani- toba and the Territories has been against any expansion in the demand. The early spring, however, is likely to witness con- siderable activity and the balance of opin- ‘ion seems to be in favor of some recovery in lumber prices. Itis believed that the quantity of lumber imported from the United States will be smaller than last year even under the same conditions, as the market across the line has improved and manufacturers may not find it neces- sary to ship surplus stocks into Canada to as great an extent as last year. If a duty should be imposed conditions will be equalized and the position of the Canadian manufacturer greatly improved. Present indications point to a large consumption of lumber for building purposes in British Columbia, as many new buildings are projected in Vancouver, Victoria and New Westminster. Railway construction also promises to be on a larger scale than us- ual. UNITED STATES. The past week has been comparatively quiet in lumber circles, a cold wave over all the northern and eastern states having restricted the volume of business. Such orders as have been booked have served to strengthen the opinion, now quite gen- erally held, that the improvement in the lumber business which occurred before the close of the year is likely. to be per_ manent. The improved tone has not been confined to any particular class of lumber, but has been quite general in character. Southern pine was perhaps the first to show pronounced strength, the basis of which was the curtailmen: in production. th’s was followed by white pine and hem- lock, and now the hardwoods have tallen into line. While the supply of dry white pine lum- ber appearsample to meet the expected demand during the spring months, there is a comparatively light stock of some of the lower grades. Buffalo and Tonawanda report a scarcity of box and mill culls, with prices inclined to advance. At Sag- inaw and Bay City mill culls are selling as high as $16 and $17. The famine in plain white oak has not been relieved. If there isan ample sup- ply anywhere, it must be in the hands of persons who are holding for a still further advance. The demand, apparently, is greater thar the supply. Quartered oak shows none of the activity of the plain variety. Of the cheaper hardwoods, birch is one of the quickest sellers and is com- manding a fair price, Soft elm and maple are in fair request, and maple flooring is meeting with a good demand at the ad- vanced price. Prices of Michigan hard- woods are about $20 for log run basswood and ash, $18 for birch and $14 for maple. GREAT BRITAIN. Almost every branch of the lumber busi- ness of Great Britain is. showing some improvement. Heavy orders have been placed with ship-builders: and the Lan- cashire textile trades are in a much better position than for some months past, fac- tors which are almost certain to benefici- ally’affect the timber trade. It does not appear that many importers have‘as yet contracted for their season's requirements, although a move in that direction has apparently been made. Baltic shippers have recently canvassed the leading im- porting centres and are said to havé been successful in closing some contracts, the Hernosand mills having accepted £6 5s for 244 x 6% and 7 whitewood for next summer's shipments. " The tendency is slightly upward and it is expected that contracts will soon be closed at an ad- vance of from 5s to 10s ‘per standard on this price. Reports recently received emphasize the improved position of spruce, The Manchester correspondent of the Timber News says: ‘‘Spruce deals are now much firmer, and very likely to still advance in price; 3 in. by 7 in. have gone up toa high figure during the past few February 1905 days, and f.o.b. prices for an average are stiffening considerably. At the present time we believe there are a score of new cotton mills being built in Lancashire. This, of course, has helped to harden prices of spruce deals, as each mill swal- lows on an average 100 standards of 1% in. by 7 in. flooring boards, besides a big quantity of 3 in. by g in., etc.” STOCKS AND PRICES.

The lumber trade of the Metropolitan District, according to the New York Lum- ber Trades Journal, can be safely report- ed as in good shape at the present writ- ing, both as regards the amount of busi- ness being transacted as well as prospec- tive business. It is of course a little early yet for the dealers to get a line on just exactly how much business will be forths coming during the spring and summer, but suffice it to say that the movement of lumber in both wholesale and retail cir- cles during the past fortnight has been well up to normal fer this season of the year, with every indication of an improved and continuous activity from now until well through the summer. The holidays witnessed a lull in business which was but natural, and the inventory period being but just past, the dealers have hardly gotten into full swing again on new busi- ness. Hence while there is not a great deal of activity to be noted just at this time, the outlook is so excellent for a large business throughout the year, and the consensus of opinion being entirely in accord with that idea, everybody is feeling optimistic. Unless all signs fail, the vol- ume of business this year in the district in practically all lines will be a _ record breaker. As regards the situation in the various stocks, we note the following : From all that can be learned, the hard- wood buyers throughout the district, par- ticularly those who work up their lumber in various lines, have been buying but lightly since the early fall and not making purchases except for immediate wants, in the idea that prices were going off. In this connection the hardwood market has remained extremely firm, and many of the large users of hardwoods are reported to be in possession of only light stocks, and enquiries and orders have come out. for considerable lumber during the past fort- night. The general belief is that there will be an active call for pretty much all of the hardwoods between now and spring. This change has been brought about primarily by the fact that buyers of hard- woods are awakening to a realization of existing conditions at manufacturing points where, according to reports ren- dered by returning buyers and whole- salers, there is but a small amount, com- paratively speaking, of the better grades of hardwoods, practically all the stock on hand at mill points being the lower grades. Hence those buyers who must necessarily have stocks for their needs during the early spring months have come upon the market with very fair orders. That this condition is properly summed up is best evidenced by the fact that the holiday season usually sees the market a little off, but the last holiday period not only wit- nessed a firm market, but one which showed advances on several kinds of stock. Plain oak has advanced during the past thirty days in the neighborhood of $3. Poplar has moved up on increased de- mand to $48 to $50 for inch 1s and 2s for the better class of cuts. Ash is exceed- ‘ February 8, 1905 ly strong, and dry lumber is scarce and is selling very close to plain oak in price. Chestnut has been in good call, and prices are generally quoted $1 above what they were sixty days ago for orders of any size. Birch, basswood and maple are holding their own both as regards demand and price. F. Lavoie, saw mill, Lac Nantel, Que., is announced to have assigned. The barque Strathern has been char- tered to carry lumber from Boston to Buenos Ayres at $6.50. A saw mill near Ravena, Ont., owned and operated by Albert McKean, was de- Stroyed by fire last week. The loss is about $2,000. It is estimated that the Edward Hines Lumber Company, of Chicago, will Set out 200,000,000 feet of logs this winter in Ashland, Douglas and Bayfield counties, Wisconsin. Spruce lath is selling in the Boston mar- ket at $3.40 for 1 5-8 inch and $3.15 to $3.20 for 134 inch. Extra cedar shingles still range from $3.15 to $3.25, and clears from $2.65 to $2.75. } Kibbee & White, of Albany, N.

A correspondent at London, Eng., writes to the CANADA LUMBERMAN as follows : ‘‘ Do you know of any Canadian ~ manufacturers of ‘‘ Orham’ wood suitable for making bedroom furniture, to be dressed and cut to dimensions; also of birch boards one-half, five-eighth, and one and one-quarter inch, about sixteen inches broad, dressed and ready for -use by manufacturers of chairs.” Persons in a position to supply such lumber and who may wish further particu- lars should send their address to the publishers of this journal. SPRUCE IN ENGLAND. It is somewhat early in the season, says the Timber Trades Journal, to phophesy what the prospects will be for the year 1905 in the spruce trade of the West Coast of England, but we think that the downward tendency which characterized the summer months of 1904 has received a check, and that everything tends to show a marked improvement in this market. Prices are ruling firmer, and to-day show a considerable advance. The shipment from St. John, N. B., and Halifax, N. S., by the winter liners up te the present time has been exceptionally light, and we CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION Vil. have reason to believe that this same state will continue for the remainder of the winter season. This can only point in one direction to help holders of stocks to dispose of them at a better figure than they would if the imports were up to the normal quantity. Again .ae liners are de- manding higher rates of freight, and we hear that in one instance a boat first half of January sailing from St. John, N. B. and Halifax, N.S., had about 800 to 1,000 standards of space to spare, but would not carry any deals whatever un- less owners could get the rate of freight they demanded. We have not heard of agents having made any contracts on the West Coast for spring and summer ship- ments, as manufacturers are holding their stocks firm at enhanced prices, and ship- pers prefer to hold off until they can see more inducement to better prices. On the other hand, buyers seem to prefer to wait before making contracts, with the excep- tion of special specifications to fill their Present requirements. There has been practically no tonnage fixed to load f.¢.w. from N. B. and N. S. ports, and one fac- tor that must not be forgotten is that to- day steamers cannot be obtained at the same rates as this time last year.

The weather of the past week has not been propitious for the movement of lum- ber. Manufacturers are booking some orders for early delivery, but on the whole trade is seasonably quiet. The feeling in regard to spring business is optimistic, based largely upon prospec- tive building operations. The better grades of white pine are showing more strength and are going into the hands of dealers who believe that prices will be no lower and are disposed to take chances of an upward movement. The supply of hardwood lumber is considered ample for the spring requirements, but as the cut of logs this winter has not been heavy prices are likely to be maintained at their pres- ent basis. Predictions have been made of an advance in the price of maple. A large number of railway ties is being taken out this winter, the extent of rail- way construction work in sight having stimulated the production. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. The dullness which has characterized the lumber trade of the eastern provinces for some months has been intensified by cold weather and heavy storms. The snow is now so deep that it is almost im- possible to handle lumber, In the mean- time the outlook for spring trade is im- proving and manufacturers are looking forward to a further advance in prices as soon as there are any signs of activity. Stocks of spruce lumber in the Eastern States are not large and the demand from that quarter will likely be considerable. The. expected advance in New Brunswick cedar shingles has not yet taken place, Extras still being obtainable at $3.20 on Boston rate of freight. The statement of a prominent lumber- nan, published elsewhere in. this issue, that the log production on the St. John river this winter will not be above 60,000,- ooo feet, will doubtless have a sustaining influence upon lumber prices. It is un- derstood that the cut in Nova Scotia has also been curtailed. UNITED STATES, Conditions are believed to be gradually getting into shape for an active spring trade in all branches of industry. There has been a marked revival in the 1ron and steel industry, while the statistics for Jan- uary show a remarkable increase in build- ing as compared with the corresponding month of 1904. In twenty-seven of the leading cities, permits were taken out for the construction of 5,187 buildings, invelv- ing a total cost of $24,964,651, against II CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION February 15, 1905 4,317 buildings, involving a total of $13,- 575,418 for the same month a year ago. This isan increase of 83 per cent. Activ- ity in lumber during the past week has been confined largely to the cities, as country trade has been practically at a standstill. A stronger inguiry for shop and better white pine is reported from Buffalo and Tonawanda, while at Sag- inaw and Bay City there is also a better feeling in respect to the higher grades. There is about 250,000,000 feet of pine in the yards on the Saginaw river, which is a fair supply. The price list committee of the Mississippi Valley Lumbermen’s Asso- ciation are expected this week to advance the price of No. 1 boards, which have become scarce. The hardwood market is showing slightly stronger tendencies in respect to some items. Rock elm and soft elm have been well bought, and prices are a little firmer on account of the light supply. Maple is also steadier and maple flooring is selling quite freely. In Northern Wisconsin and the northern peninsula of Michigan the snow is so deep that logging has been slow and ex- pensive and some operators have aban- doned the work for the season. Hickory has recently advanced about $5 per thous- and. GREAT BRITAIN. While there has been some improve- ment in the British lumber market during the past three months, buyers do not yet seem to have regained confidence, and very little business is being closed. It has-been announced that the Swedish Saw-Mill Owners’ Association will have 952,000,000 feet of lumber for first-open- water shipment, as compared with 964,- 000,000 feet one year ago. This small decrease is taken to mean that the policy of curtailment has not been. effective and that about the usual quantily of Baltic lumber will find its way to the United Kingdom. Representatives of Baltic shippers who have canvassed the leading importing centres are reported to have met with but meagre success. As against these unfavorable conditions, it may be pointed out that the stock of lumber in the Surrey Commercial Docks, London, on January 31st last, shows a shortage of Over 3,000,0CO pieces as compared with one year ago. Canadian white pine, red pine and spruce, all show a considerable decrease,and with the exception of spruce battens, the whole of the sawn and planed lumber of regular sizes now in the docks is less in quantity than at the correspond- ing period of 1904. The demand in the London market is largely for batten and board sizes in preference to deals, which have not been so readily marketable as the narrow widths, which | are consider- ably cheaper. - STOCKS AND PRICES. The Pacific Coast Lumber Manufactur- ers’ Association, at a meeting held at Seattle, Wash., on January 27th, advanc- ed the price of fir and cedar lumber and lath. Lumbering operations are being car- ried on quite extensively on the Sissiboo river, in Nova Scotia, this winter. It is estimated that the cut will be the largest on record. The log market in British Columbia continues firm with an upward tendency. Continued rain has not only interfered greatly with logging operations in pro- gress, but has also prevented many camps which were closed last fall from starting up again. At the annual meeting of the Wisconsin Valley Lumbermen’s Association held at Wausau on February 7th, the secretary reported that the volume of business hand- led during last year was most satisfactory, the total shipments being 503,024,000 feet, as compared with 511,795,000 feet in 1903. The log cut this winter in Minnesota for the Canadian mills is being considerably curtailed. The Rat Portage Lumber Company have two camps on the Big Fork river and are putting in about 4,000,000 feet. The Keewatin Lumber Company are putting in 10,000,000 on the Big Fork. The Rainy River Lum- ber Company have several camps on the same river and expect to have about 20,000,000 feet of logs, although they are not putting in a full stock this winter. The Merrill-Ring Lumber Company, of Duluth, Minn., recently sold 6,000,000 feet of No. 3 and better and the No. 4 and No. 5 boards out of 1,000,000 feet of logs, all at better prices than have been gen- erally obtained until very recently. A re- nominal import, markable sale madeat Duluth lately was a lot of No. 5 boards, not of unusually good grade, at $9.25 a thousand. This is consid- ered at least 75 cents above the market. There was manufactured in the state of Michigan last year 1,669,547,749 feet ot lumber, as against 1,945,373,031 feet in 1903 and 1,846,104,970 feet in 1902. The pine output last year aggregated 426,912,- 734 teet, as compared with 741,312,465 feet in 1903. The hardwood output was 618,938,333 feet, as against 475,453,066 feet_in 1903. The quantity of hemlock manufactured was 623,695,682 feet, as compared with 728,607,500 in 1903. There were 1,055,543,250 shingles manufactur- ed in Michigan last year, as compared with 1,380,165,co0 in the previous year. The lath production was _ 189,716,950 pieces, compared with 373,142,500 pieces in 1903. CONDITIONS IN LIVERPOOL. Messrs. Farnworth & Jardine furnish the following particulars of the Liverpool lumber market: In the business of the past month there is li'tle change to report but the slight improvement recorded in December has been fairly maintained. Imports have been on a moderate scale, the deliveries fair, and stocks on the whole are not too large, whilst some of the leading articles show a considerable reduction. Values are generally steady. PINE TIMBER.—Of waney the: import consists of about 6,000 feet by steamer, via St. John, N.B.; the demand’ continues very quiet, the deliveries have been small and stocks are ample; prices are Steady. SQuaRE PINE.—Very slow demand ; the stock is ample but prices are firm. RED PiINE.—The stock is very small, but there is very little demand, and only for a few special requirements. Oak Locs.—The demand is inactive, and the consumption has been unsatisfac- tory ; stocks are sufficient, but values are fairly steady. Ex_m.—There has been a fair enquiry for first class rock elm and values rule high ; the stock is low. Ash is seldom enquired for. PINE DEALS.—There has only been a but the deliveries have high prices been very disappointing, checking consumption, and stocks are too large. Red pine deals are dull of sale and stocks are ample. New Brunswick anp Nova ScorIA SPRUCE AND PinE DEALS, — The import during the past month to Liverpool, etc., and Manchester Canal has been moderate, viz., about 2,070 standards, against 6,030 standards corresponding time last year. The consumption, which practically re- presents six weeks deliveries (on account of extra time required for the annual stock taking), has been satisfactory, and stocks, although still ample, are being reduced to a more moderate compass. It is most desirable that shipments during the next few months should be very small; values are unchanged. BircH.—Logs from St. John, N. B., M. & L.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION February 15, 1905 BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER. (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) VANCOUVER, B.C., February sth, 1905. —There is a very appreciable increase in the price of logs, and Mr. J. S. Emerson is benefitting accordingly. They were $7.50 for the best, and now another dol- lar has been added. That is for cedar logs, for which there is an especial de- mand noticeable because of the stringen- cy. Unless conditions are very favorable, another rise in price is looked for before a supply comes in. Shingle prices are again down, and they are now cheaper than ever before. A month or so ago the B, C. Lumber and Shingle Manufacturers’ Association, of this city, issued a new price list in which shingles were -reduced from .$2.50 to $1.90, and another decrease has now gone into effect. Last week they were brought down to $1.50 for local trade, and $2 for the, Territories. ‘‘ While we might adopt the recourse of opening lumber depot yards in the North- "a prominent lumberman said to *“ we have ‘not de- west, ycur correspondent, cided upon that eourse, and only would do so as a means of self-preservation. To open such yards means practically to go into the retail business, and that would necessitate a very large capital, which just at this stringency especially the mill- men do not happen to have handy.” Balance sheets for 1904 do not show a very encouraging state of affairs among the mills, and every effort is being made to retrieve losses. Mr. A. C. Flumerfelt, who has large mining interests in the in; terior, and who is president of the Inter; national Coal and Coke Company, operat- ing measures at Coleman, Alberta, has taken permanent quarters in Vancouver and will pay direct attention to the affairs of the Hastings Shingle Manufacturing Company, in which he is largely interested, Millmen generally are preparing for a busy season, in anticipation of the duty being granted this year by the Dominion Government. ‘‘If it is not given this year,” was the remark of the manager of one of the large concerns in Vancouver this morning, ‘‘then I would not like to prophesy what will happen.” Trade on the whole is not of the best. Local busi- ness continues fair, and there is a little doing in the export. It is, however, an improvement on last fall, and should be at _this time of year. A further improvement is iooked for if conditions are favorable. News has arrived of the death of Mr. W. P. Sayward, the pioneer lumberman of the province, which took place at San Francisco last week. He came north at the time of the rush to the Cariboo gold fields and built a mill near Victoria in 1858. It has been running ever since, and is now conducted by his son, Mr. J. A. Sayward, who was at his father’s bed- side. Lumber manvfacturers are still talking of a mutual insurance asa relief from the high rates charged by the regular insur- ance companies. There is a rumor that action is to be taken very soon, Mr. Robert Weir, of the Weir Lumber Company, Orillia, is making his first trip to the west, and is visiting his cousin, T. W. Kerr, of Ladner. Messrs. J. E. Taylor and A. L. Clarke, of Texas, interested in the Vancouver Lumber Company, of which Mr. J. D. Moody, another Texan, is manager, are in the city in connection with the doubling of their capacity. This will entail an ex- penditure of $150,000. The mill was bought last summer. Mr. H. A. Wilson, of Stillwater, Minn., was here last week looking over possible sites, and investigating local conditions. He is said to represent capital of $400,- 000. ST. JOHN RIVER LOG PRODUCTION. Mr. William H. Murray, a prominent lumberman of St. John, N. B., in a recent interview, gave some particulars concern- ing logging operations on the St. John river this winter. Tae cost of bringing out logs, he says, has been a little lower than usual. Owing to the fact that the cut was greatly re- duced, fewer men were required, and the contractors were thus able to secure all the help they wanted at lower wagesthan in the past. Last year 138,000,000 feet of St. John river logs were actually rafted and deliv- ered to the mills, and another 30,000,000 feet are still in the booms, so that the total output for the past season was 168,000,000 feet, of which almost 40,000,- ooo feet were old logs which had been hung up, and the actual cut 128,000,000 feet. This season the cut is certainly not over 60,000,000 feet. There are in the booms 30,000,000 feet left from last year and ancther 18,000,000 will come down, having been hung up. Mr. Murray thus makes the total output at between 105,- 00c,000 and 110,000,000 feet, or not more than two-thirds of last year’s production, while the actual cut of new logs will be less than half of last year’s. Fewer American logs than usual, pro- portionately, have been cut. Dunn Bros.’ mill at St. John, it is stated, may mot run during the coming season. Warner is sawing more Canadian than American logs, and the same is true of the two Miller mills. Mr. Murray and Cushings are about the only large operators in American logs and they are not going in very heavily. John A. Morrison, of Fredericton, is bringing out a million of cedar, but this is the only item out of the ordinary in the cut, —— =a UNITED STATES MANUFACTURERS AND WHOLESALERS THE BONSACK LUMBER CO.

ONTARIO. Current trade in lumber shows no material change from last week, business being about the average for this time of the year. Several of the Toronto dealers report that they are doing a fair trade and that the consumption of lumber for build- ing purposes has been considerable even during the winter months. Country trade, however, is light, and shipments have been greatly retarded by the snow block- ades. Prices are holding firm and no break is anticipated in the near future, as stocks are not large and it will be several months yet before the new cut is in ship- ping condition. The buying movement in the Ottawa Valley has apparently com- menced, as within the past week several important transactions have been closed. While the actual prices have not been made public, it seems to be the opinion of the trade that the manufacturers have not considered any offers below the prices obtained one year ago. There is some speculation as to the probable course of hemlock prices. The production during the coming season is likely to be quite large, which may operate against an advance which might easily be engineered under more favorable conditions. Prices in Toronto are about $15, with an increase of $2 for lengths above 18 feet. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA, The lumber business in Winnipeg is getting active and prices are stiffening, but it is improbable that there will be much change before spring. There is still considerable irregularity, however, some dealers quoting contractors 15 per cent. off last year’s prices, while a few are Said to be giving a still greater dis- White pine lath has advanced and is now selling at $5 50 for No. 1 in small lots, and at $5 for No. 2. The retail dealers have also the price of B. C. red cedar shingles, a few count, increased II ‘CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION : dealers asking as much as $4 for the best grade. ; UNITED STATES, Owing to the difficulty of filling orders on acconnt of freight blockades and snowstorms, dealers have not been push- ing out actively for business, and conse- quently sales have, if anything, fallen off in volume. The most influential market factor has been the publicat’on of the report of the secretary of the Mississippi Valley Lumbermen’s Association. Con- trary to general expectations, this report shows that the stock of white pine lumber on hand is considerably less than one yearago. The total stock on hand on January 1 of this year, as shown by the combined inventories of eighty - three manufacturers, is ),361,406,206 feet, as compared with 1,504,465,890 feet reported by eighty-nine manufacturers last year. This is a decrease of 143,059,684 feet ir the Mississippi and Wisconsin Valley territories. Shingles on hand show an increase of 14,000,000, and lath about 6,000,000 pieces. While less piece stuff was manufactured by the Mississippi Valley lumbermen during the year, the inventories show an increased stock, in- dicating the competition with hemlock and yellow pine dimension lumber. The largest increase inany item of inch lum- ber is No. 3 boards, of which there is 7 per cent. more on hand than one year ago. The new price list adopted by the Mississippi Valley Lumbermen’s Associa- tion makes an advance of $1.50 on C and better Norway flooring ‘and finish, and 50 cents on Norway siding and cer- tain sizes of fencing. No. 1 white pine lath is fixed at $3.75 at the mill, mixed at $3.25 and No. 2 at $2.75. Business in hardwoods has shown a slight improvement in the cities where quick delivery has been possible. Prices are strong in nearly all instances, with oak leading. GREAT BRITAIN. The improvement in the British market which begun towards the close of last year has been no more than sustained, and in some quarters dissatisfaction is expressed with the developments of the past two weeks. The building trade is reviving slowly, and importers still evince a desire to proceed very cautiously. There is, undoubtedly, a hopetul tone throughout the trade, but there is also a disposition to defer the placing of orders until the season is more advanced. The demand forg and 11 inch deals is quiet, as scarcely any shipments are being made to South Africa. The position of battens and scantling is considerably stronger and the consumption more active. Canadian pine and spruce lumber appears to be largely in strong hands. A Liverpool report states that the spruce market has still an upward tendency, and that some small shipments by the liners of the ordinary large proportion of 3x7 and 3x8 have changed hands upon arrival. Spruce has also sold well at the recent public sales, a quantity of 3x11 inch 1st, 2nd and 3rd guality from West Bay, N.S., bringing £8 per standard of 1,980 feet. Birch timber has also changed hands at a slight advance. STOCKS AND PRICES. Tenders are invited up to Monday, March 6th, for lumber required by the Waterworks Department of the City of London, Ont. The contract for the supply of lumber required by the Board of Works of the city of Hamilton, Ont , has been awarded to W. J. McAllister at $20.15 per thousand feet. The Wilmer Lumber Company, of Wilmer, B.C., expect to take out a large quantity of railway ties this year. The ties will be towed in booms to the mouth of the Columbia river and floated down to Golden. P.

The quantity on hand on January 1, 1904, was 1,177,397,908 feet, of which 757,987,775 feet was inch lumber ard 419,410,133 ft. dimension lumber. It will be seen that the percentage of di- mension lumber on hand this spring is considerably larger than one year ago. Concerning Miramichi lumbering opera- tions this year, it is learned that the Wm. Richards Company will cut 10,000,000 ft, a considerable reduction compared with former seasons. On the South-west Mira- michi 25,000,000 feet are looked for to come through the booms, while on the northwest about 18,500,000 feet will come out, 5,000,000 feet being old logs. At the lower end of the Miramichi the cut is es- timated as follows: J. B. Snowball, 15,- 000,000 feet; Tracadie Lumber Company, 7,000,000 feet; Thomas Gill, 3,000,000 feet; John Maloney, 3,000,000 feet. Burtt & Jones will cut 3,000,000 feet on the Keswick.

Ottawa, February 12th, 1905. — The turn in the tide has been reached, and as has been predicted in this quarter for months past, lumber in the Ottawa district has become much firmer. The outlook is bright. Formerly the Ottawa district operators were wont to consider the United States and British markets apart from and above the Canadian or home market. This year, however, the local consumption promises to exceed all records and make it a matter of much greater importance. The prospects in the United States quarter are good, and the British market is looking much better. Usually the sales for the following summer's cutting, especially for the British market, are made in November and December; but the business was put off till this month this season. While actual figures are not obtainable, it is known, on indisputable authority, that the prices on which contracts are being made are equal to last year’s ruling, and in one instance an advance of a dollar a thousand is claimed, Gilmour & Hughson, of Hull, have again sold their coming cut to Skillings, J. B. Farwell & Son .. CONTRACTORS AND DEALERS IN.. Ganadian Gedar Tele- araph, Telephone and Electric Light Poles Orillia, Ont., and Oswego, N.Y. CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION Ill. beek ee Whitney and Barnes,of Ogdensburg. The same firm, it is understood, has also secured one half of the cut of the St. Anthony Lumber Company’s mill at Whit- ney, of next summer’s sawing. E. H. Lemay, of Montreal, has also secured the cut at McLachlin Bros. mill, Arnprior. Other deals for the American and British market are under way, and mill men are n every instance holding for their old prices. Discussing the future of the market, one of the leading manufacturers said, “Everything warrants a continuance of good times in Ottawa lumber circles. To-day there is less lumber unsold at the mills than at any time on record. This in itself insures good times.” Stocks in the American yards are short, and the Ottawa men, as has been said, are also figuring on a big Canadian con- sumption, so that lumber values can be reckoned on to advance. The feature of the local lumber field was the purchase made this week by the Shepard & Morse Company of one of the Bronson limits, the last in fact in the Ot- tawa district. The limit, which is situated on the Montreal river, Temiskaming country, is 105 miles in extent, and covers three: berths. The price paid is in the neighborhood uf $250,000. The limits are said to contain 180,000,000 feet of standing pine, and the estimate placed on it is $3 per thousand. This is considered one of the very best limits procurable, as ROBERT WATT WIARTON, ONT. Manufacturer and Dealer in Hard and Soft Wood Lumber, Lath, Shingles, Cedar Posts and Ties.

S., with the cargo ot white pine which, as mentioned in our last, we had sold to arrive at $26.50 for merchantable and $21.50 for second quality. Our market for this kind of lumber, although lightly stocked with merchantable, is fully sup- plied with second quality, and there are some further cargoes reported on the way. Spruce is being enquired for, and although cheap second quality white pine takes its place to some extent, yet we think that next arrivals should realize fair prices. Owing to the loss of the twe vessels re- ported in our last, the market for shingles has somewhat improved, and although there has not been much enquiry for either Long or Laying Cedar, yet we think that next arrivals of both descriptions will meet with a ready sale at remunerative prices.

CANADA LUMBERMAN. WEEKLY EDITION February 22, 1905 U0, NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER. (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) sudden rise in prices. It is an established fact that the stocks of Canadian woods in the important trade centres of Great Britain aggregate just a trifle more than half of what was available last year at this and with the local stocks only normal and no prospects of sawing any for two months yet, the local manufac- turers are not at all anxious to tie them- selves up in any way by contracts or by selling in advance any of next season’s cut, preferring to wait in the face of an almost certain improvement in conditions. But these indications and forecasts of better things have had their effect; a purchaser would find a substantial differ- ence in buying English deals in this city to-day from what would have been the case in doing the same thing two months ago. A lack of eagerness to sell would be very apparent, also the necessity to pay higher prices, this regardless of the fact that no definite advance has taken place in the English markets, It is improbable that any quotation on spruce English deals could be obtained less than $13.25 per M. sup. ft. (2/3 price for fourths and ends) f.o.b. steamer St. John, on a specification containing say 50 per cent. 7’s and 8's, 40 per cent. 9's and 10 per cent. 11’s. St. Joun, N.B., February 17th, 1905.— There is little doing as yet in lumber circles in this vicinity. Shipments of English deals have been fairly heavy during the present month for this time of year, but not large enough to be called important. These shipments by the liners, while usually small, have heen frequent all through the winter, and the result is beginning to show in a shrinkage of the stocks on the different wharves, two or three of which are already practi- cally cleaned up so far as English deals are concerned. Others again have shipped very little, but, taken on the whole, the complete holdings in this line by the local dealers and manufacturers would probably not aggregate more than 6,000,000 sup. feet, certainly not more than 6,500,coo feet. Of the shipments being made by the liners, most of them will in all proba- bility go on the market; the exceptions, which are small, being the tail-ends of 1904 contracts. Local dealers are very optimistic in regard to the immediate future in the markets of the United Kingdom, but so far their expectations have borne little fruit as far as actually selling at more favourable figures is concerned. It is simply a waiting game with the indica- tions all pointing to a substantial and time, The assets of the A. D. McRae Lumber Company, Hosmer, B.C., have been sold to A. Black.

In 1890 the total production of Northern pine in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan was 8% billion feet. Since that time there has been a steady decline. Where the pro- duction in the territory east of Chicago in 1890 was over two billions of feet, the cut last year was about 100 millions. The decline in our own territory took place principally among the mills on the Missis- sippi river south of Minneapolis, in Minne- apolis and in the Duluth district. Northern Minnesota showed an increase.” TIMBER LIMIT TRANSACTIONS. The Ottawa Lumber Company, of Ot- tawa, are reported to have purchased from J. P. Logue & Company a timber limit comprising upwards of thirty square miles situated on the Ottawa river a short dis- tance above Lake Temiskaming. The limit contains a large quantity of virgin timber of excellent quality. The lumber property of Trites & Wood at Elkmouth, B. C., has been acquired by Ross Bros. & Company, of Whitemouth, Man. The deal includes the mill and tim- ber limits purchased by Trites & Wood from the Hayes Lumber Company. Ross Bros. have already started to cut logs and it is their intention to carry on active operations during the coming summer. The saw mill of Napoleon Gignac at St. Roch’s, Quebec, was burned a few days ago. The saw mill of T. W. Flett at Nelson, N. B., was destroyed by fire last week, together with a quanfity of boxes. The loss is about $18,000, about one-third of which is covered by insurance. UNITED STATES MANUFAGTURERS AND WHOLESALERS YOU CAN REACH THE BONSACK LUMBER CO. WHOLESALE HARDWOODS ST.

St. JOHN, N.B., March 3rd, 1905.— Lumber business of all kinds is quiet in this direction. In some cases small gangs of men are at work on repairs at the mills, but little sawing will be done before the twentieth of April, In the woods at the head of the river Operations continue with much briskness. There is at present from two to three feet of snow, which is about the usual, and the operators expect to fill their contracts without difficulty. But in the lower coun- ties the snowfall has been so extremely heavy that many operators have been compelled to cease and to discharge their crews. While the local manufacturers and most of the larger ones along the the bulk of their logs from the extrem up-river districts and the cur- tailment of the crop in the lower counties does not affect them greatly, it will mean a limited sawing season for manv of the smaller plants and will also mean that river obtai CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION those who are depending upon local offer- ings for any part of their season’s con- sumption will be obliged to pay a higher price than was the case last year when spruce logs delivered at St. John netted from $8.50 to $9.50 per M, according to the percentage of battens. Little is being done in shipping circles as yet, but a large number of schooners are preparing to leave their winter quar- ters and their owners are looking for charters to U.S. ports. Two large sailers loaded with deals sailed yesterday and these have been the most important sailings to the westward during the last two months. These car- goes are bound for New York, consigned for sale. Business in the United States has been unusually dull and as yet there is little to be said in regard to the trade beyond the fact that indications point to a brisk de! mand as soon as the weather warrants a resumption of building operations. The winter has caused unusually rigorous lle practically a stand-still in all kinds of building, but on the other hand receipts have been infinitesimal and prices have not suffered. Stocks on the other end are reported to be much lighter than is usu- ally the average at this time of year, and in this city and vicinity the same fact ap- plies ; not more than 1,250,000 to 1,500,- ooo s. ft. of American deals being avail- able at present writing. The owners of these seem to be in no hurry to ship or sell and a purchaser would not be able to get any lower quotation than, f.o.b, St. John: All 1o and 12 inch, $17.00 to $18.00 per M. s. ft.; 9 inch, $16.00 to’ $16.50 per M. s. ft.; narrows, $14.00 to $14.50 per M. s. ft. Charters to New York are plentiful at $3.00 per M on long lumber. ——— CANADIAN LUMBER SHIPMENTS.

NOBLE - DETROIT MICHICAN ¥ ac > THE OUTLOOK. _ Under the above heading the American 5 Lumberman offers the following comment ~ the lumber situation : a _ Asa whole the lumbermen of the coun- try are well pleased with the outlook for trade during the remainder of the year. Stocks, notabiy those held by southern pine and hardwood producers, are below the average. In only one—the white pine section of the north—was there any con- ‘siderable accumulation and winter sales have absorbed a large amount of this sur- _ plus. Consumers, asa rule, limited their VII. CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION purchases last year, buying for immediate requirements only and not as is generally the case systematically adding to their stock. As a result of this policy the amounts they now have are probably be- low those which are usually kept on hand and with the increased call for all kinds of merchandise incident to the better times undoubtedly will be a firm, consistent in- quiry for lumber supplies on the part of the lumber consuming factories of the country. The prospects for building are excellent. Money is cheap and from every district come optimistic reports of the contemplated amount of building to be done. The price level during tg05 will be higher than that of 1904 and _ this improve- ment should enable those sections where operations were not conducted satisfactor- ily last year to retrieve their fortunes and bring about a better state of affairs. No disposition to boom things is being shown, for which the cduntry may be thankful. Those interested in the variotis branches of industry are going quietly along to improve their facilities for manu- facture and their products as well, and it is this quiet determination on their part that is giving to the business the prdsper- ous aspect which it now presénts. It is much too early yet to say aiiy- thing in regard to the prospective crops except that the heavy snows have pro- tected the wheat belt of the northwest from the severe cold weather and should be instrumental in giving wheat a good start; If those in charge of the indus- tries of the country continue to maintain their equilibrium and to prefer permanen- cy of operation to mushroom growth there is no adequate reason why the pros- perity of the councry should not contiriue for many years.

The past week has been favorable for outdoor operations in Ontario and the lumber trade has benefitted thereby. grades. Our Bay City and Saginaw list nee i this week shows an advance in all No. 3 Activity is more general and an barn boards, which now range from a increase in country orders is reported. The Ottawa mills are experiencing a de- mand larger than usual at this season of the year and have marked up prices in some instances. Good strips are about $2 per thousand higher than at the beginning of the year. The position of hemlock is exceptionally strong. The stock in first hands is un- ‘usually light and wholesale dealers are finding it impossible te purchase any large blocks at a price which will permit them to turn the lumber over at a profit. Some dealers have been adding to their stocks for some months and are now in a,splen- did position to take advantage of the advance which is expected to take place before the new stock is in shipping con- dition. Hardwoods are just holding their ‘own, but the demand ‘s a little more active. Birch probably represents the largest volume of business, but there has also been some improvement in the de- mand for basswood. for 1x4 to $21.50 for t2-inch. The spruce market continues strong and it is predicted that prices for the new cut will open at an advance averaging at least 50 cents above last year's opening figures. Hemlock is a little irregular. The recent advance in Chicago of 50 cents on all items excepting 3 inch plank, timber and No. 1 and No. 2 strips is being maintained, while from Tonawanda comes the report of a shading of quotations, stock having been offered during the past week at 75 cents below the base price of $.6.50. In Boston hemlock is strong, Pennsylvania No. 2 bringing $16.50 and No. 1 boards $19 to $20. The supply of dry hardwoods is grad- ually decreasing, thus giving a strong tone to the market. Dry plain oak is still very scarce. In northern woods the most active is birch, which ‘is selling freely. Soft elm is in promising condition. GREAT BRITAIN.

The stock is still heavy, both in Quebec and Southern ‘States wood. ELmM.—Enquiries during the month have been numerous for first class rock, and the stock of this class is now very low.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER. Corresponcence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) Vancouver, B.C., March 5th, 1905.— Prospects for the spring are bright. No changes in prices in lumber are reported, but the general indication 1s that they will be firm all season. Figures on logs are very stiff, and will likely remain so until ow reopening and starting Nine dollars is which is a the camps 0 can get in more supply. the highest price for logs, Mill stocks are not long yet, but cutting is actively going on, and all the plants are in operation. Altogether, the feeling is much better than a few months and those engaged in the industry Manufac- reccrd. ago, are beginning to take heart. turers are confident that the duty against the importation of American lumber will be granted this session, which will ensure the home market to them. A prominent millman stated the other day it would not mean an increase in price to the settler, but would tend to cause a decrease. The export trade so far this year has been very good, a marked improvement over the last few months of 1904. Since the first of January eight vessels have either loaded at the Hastings mill orat the wharves, the cargoes being mostly for the United Kingdom or Japan, with two for South America. The County of Dum- fries, which got away a week ago, had on board 90,000 feet more than she carried when here efghteen months ago. This is due to careful stowing. The German ship Neck, recently arrived, is the largest carrier which has been here for several months. The largest transaction of its kind for this part of the province is the contract for thirty million feet of lumber awarded to the Victoria Lumber and Manpfacturing Company at Ch emainus by the Canadian Pacific Railway. The Railway Company takes cars by barge to Vancouver island, and the lumber will give return freight. Local conditions are to be good again this year. In 1904 a great amount of building was done in Vancouver, and from the figures of the Building Inspector for the city it looks as if the industrial activity will continue. Permits for February amounted to $190,000. In the Interior, the mills of the Kam- loops Lumber Company and the Elk Lum- ber and Manufacturing Company, the latter at Fernie, are about ready for operations, and a new mill is talked of for Arrowhead. There will be few idle con- cerns this summer, and if prospects turn out as they look at present the sheriff will not be as busy next fall as he was last. Railway building in the Kootenay and the Territories is causing a good demand for ties and camps are in operation all through the eastern portion of the province and near Edmonton. Capt. F. Armstrong has taken over the portable mill of the Wilmer Lumber Company and has install" ed it on Johnston creek, where he will operate a camp all the year round to take out 300,000 ties during the next five years. _Mr. H. B. Gilmour, who places consid- erable Waterous machinery, has just re- urned from atrip to the eastern part of she province, and gives a very favorable report of conditions. deavor to make up for the results of the depression of last summer, and are lacking no effort in getting after what business there is. ture, now in session, fora removal of the export duty. months ago, and itis very Government will not take action this time. rush of orders received by the Burton Saw Works of this city, and a nnmber of ex- pert mechanics have been added to the staff. ing trade good and are taking out a large quantity of logs for the season’s cut.

THE CLYDE ForRKS LUMBER Co., Cald- wells Mill, Ont. CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. ONTARIO, There is a heavier movement of all classes of lumber from the dealer to the consumer, the approach of the building season being responsible for increased activity. Neither dealers nor manufactur- ers make any complaint regarding the volume of business, while the outlook for the future seems to be quite promising. This does not mean that prices of lumber will advance, but rather that the supply will be absorbed at reasonable figures if no unforeseen developments should arise to curtail the demand. Given two or three weeks of favorable weather, there will doubtless be a noticeable increase in the domestic consumption. The building movement will soon be under way, and in Toronto it promises to be equal to last year. Railroad construction will also be a considerable factor and provide an outlet for large quantities of ties and other timber. Some difficulty is being experienced in executing orders owing to the scarcity of hemlock and low grade pine. The holder of lumber of this class is in a position to make almost’ his own prices. The supply ot dry hemlock has passed into the hands of a few dealers. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. Eastern lumbermen generally are look- ing forward to a more prosperous season than last year, although the volume of business already booked is by no means large. - There promises tobe a good de- mand for lumber in Montreal, where a number of large buildings are about to be commenced. Quebec shippers are holding prices firmly, in the belief that all the lumber manufactured will find a market. On account of the depth of the snow, many operators in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia discontinued work in the woods earlier than usual and the cut is certain to figure out much smaller than one year ago. There has been a slight improvement in New Brunswick cedar shingles, although small lots of Extras are still being purchased at $3.20 tor Boston delivery. Clears are now in good demand and by no means in heavy supply. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. Activity in lumber circles throughout Manitoba and the Territories has been more marked during the past week and dealers report a considerable increase in the number of enquiries tor lumber. The building season in Winnipeg is opening up very favorably and in many of the towns throughout the Northwest works of construction are proposed which will con- sume a vast quantity of lumber. Some of the shrewdest dealers are placing orders at current prices, believing that the pros- pective demand will bring about an ad- vance in buth lumber and shingles in the near future, The British Columbia shingle manufacturers are now said to be formu- ating a plan with a view to obtaining more remunerative prices for their pro- duct. Owing to a scarcity of logs on the British Columbia market, one or two manufacturers are reported to have pur- chased a considerable quantity in Wash- ington. One boom of 1,500,000 feet will, according to report, be towed from Puget Sound to Burrard Inlet, to be cut by the Canadian Pacific Lumber Company’s mill at Port Moody. During the past winter logging was not carried on to any great extent along the British Columbia coast to the north of Vancouver, principally be- cause last fall the market for logs was glutted and prices were forced down so that there was no profit in the business. The mills worked off their supply of logs and now there is practically no British Herman H. Hettler Lumber Gompany = Manufacturers and Wholesalers of . .

GREAT BRITAIN. ‘ _ While it is probably true that the volume of busines which has been closed with the _ British importers has not been large, it is quite evident that the trade generally re- _ gard the situation as greatly improved. The tew who have placed orders with Canadian shippers are in a happy mood, _ for it is almost certain that prices of both pine and spruce will show an upward ae oneeay during the next few months. _ Allthe spruce which has arrived recently has been promptly taken and there is a growing inquiry for early cargges.

It is expected that there will be heavy imports of spruce into Ireland this year, and a larger consump- tion of Quebec waney and square pine is also anticipated. In hardwoods, a few sales of birch and elm timber are reported. Birch planks are in light stock and likely to advance in the near future. There isa very quiet market for oak. STOCKS AND PRICES.

St. Joun, N.B., March 16th, 1905.— There has been considerable activity in shipments from this port to the United States during the last fortnight, which shipments consisted almost entirely of deals and lath. There is practically nothing doing in the manufacturing line as yet and the outlook now promises that the mills will begin the sawing season with wharves entirely clear of all kinds of long and short lumber, barring probably some lots of merchantable inch boards, which have been very slow during the last six months and for which there does not seem to be any promise of a demand that could be called brisk. Beyond the de- pression in this line all indications are very encouraging. While the immediate future does not look so bright for cedar shingles as was the ease last year at this time, the manufacturers seem quite con- fident that when building operations have got fairly under way in the Eastern * date: States, the present lack of stimulus will be speedily replaced by more favourable con- ditions, Stocks in thisline are not at all heavy for this time of year ; from three and one-half millions to four millions would cover the amount easily and it is hoped that most of these will be disposed of before another month Fas passed and in ample time so that the regeneration of manufacturing will not cause any overplus of stock. At least one-half of the amount men- tiened above is made up of the lower grades, fer which, during the whole of last year, there was a brisk local trade, and the dealers are now depending upon a resumption of this business to work off their No. 1’s and 2nd Clears, The following prices for non-dutiable would be quoted to an inquirer at this Extras, $2.80; Clears, $2.35; 2nd Clears, $1.85; No. 1’s, 90 cents, all f.o.b. St. John. Dutiable Extras are worth $2.50 and Clears $2.05. No lower grades of dutiable shingles are offering for ex- port. Freight rates to Boston on shingles are quoted at 25 cents per M, with the prob- ability that the prevalent rate will be 22% cents in the near future. Stocks of lath have been materially re- duced during the past fortnight, the much greater part of the shipments being con- signed for sale. Stocks in this line also promise to be completely cleaned up in the next month ; from 2,750,000 to 3,000,000 would be certain to cover all the available in this line at present writing. The price of lath has, during the iast fortnight, taken a jump.of 25 cents per M, and dutiable slab lath (of which the much greater part of the holdings are made up) could not be bought today at this port less than $2.25 por M. f. 0, b. schooner. Freight rates to New York on lath are quoted freely at 60 cents per M. LONDON STOCKS AND CONDITIONS. According to Churchill & Sim, the demand for pine deals in London during February has been very small, and prices have dragged along just under the Jan- uary rates. For spruce there has been no change in London so far, prices having been kept steady by competition with Riga and Galatz whitewood. There has, how- ever, been some excitement among the lower port shippers, in consequence of the abnormal severity of the winter in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, which has not only hindered the transportation to the shipping ports of thesuppliesofspruce, birch, &c., cut for early shipment, but has also prevented the work in the forests on the production for shipment later in the season, so that contracts already made cannot be carried ont, and shippers are nervous about contracting again ahead. There is nochange to report in the pricés of oak or white pine timber in London, while for birch, elm, and ash prices have been a point or two down in February. For birch, at any rate, there is likely to be a prompt and sharp reaction. UNITED STATES MANUFACTURERS AND WHOLESALERS THE BONSACK LUMBER CO.

The abrupt ending of the logging sea- son in many portions of the northern pine woods will have a decided effect on the output of white pine lumber during the coming season. Owing to a definite deci- sion the cutoflogs during the logging sea- son of 1903-04 was much below that ofthe previous years, and the output of lumber last year was correspondingly smaller. The sawing season at most of the mills ended last fall some time before the weath- er'conditions made it necessary, because of the short supply of available material. It was the intention of the mill men last fall to get out no larger a supply of logs than they did the previous winter, and for that reason operations were planned ac- cordingly. Nature has made it shorter than was intended, and the supply of logs for sawing during the coming season will be fully twenty percent less than intended. The mills along the Mississippi river will be especially short of supplies, for the number of logs carried over was smaller than in previous years. This supply has been dwindling for several years. Time was when nearly a complete season’s stock was left in the streams at the end of the sawing season. At the end of last year’s work at the mills, the total supply in the river was only about 187 million feet. While logging is still going on in the extreme northern the more southerly camps have been forced out of business, and many logs remain on the sticks in the woods, whence they can only be gotten out with great expense and diffi- culty, or where they must be left until the snows of next winter come. The indica- tions are now that the sawing season will open early. Under the influence of high sections, temperature and the action of the rising water in the streams, the ice is becoming soft and may commence to break up almost any day. An early start for the milis means an early shutdown in the fall because of the light supply oflogs. The white pine market .does not need this strengthening influence, but -if anything were needed to give stability to the mar- ket it could be found in the present out- look for a log supply.—Mississippi Valley Lumberman.

SHINGLES. Just as we go to press, it is learned that the Coast shingle manufacturers of British Columbia, at.a meeting held a tew days ago, appointed the Union Lumber Com- pany and the Expert Lumber and Shingle Company as their selling agents, sales to be apportioned. They also adopted the price listissued in March, 1904, less fifteen cents off number ones and five cents off a+ number twos. CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. ONTARIO. Manufacturers and dealers alike agree that there are no signs of depression in the lumber trade. On the other hand, the outlook for business is good, and in To- ronto the season promises to be one of unusual activity. Every week permits are being issued for buildings representing a large expenditure, and, barring labor troubles, which do not now} seem prob- able, this is likely to continue throughout the summer season, The manufacturing industries which consume lumber are also working to full capacity and general prosperity prevails. A few large transactions in lumber have recently taken place which indicate con- fidence in present prices. It is the ex- ception rather than the rule to meet a person who is disposed to predict lower values, and any movement in that direction must therefore lack the assistance of pub- lic sentiment. It would jbe unwise, perhaps, to advise the indiscriminate pur- chase of lumber at current prices, but the picking up of marketable stocks at favor- able opportunities would seem to be a wise policy, as a firm lumber market for the next few months is altogether probable. There are many advocates of higher prices for hemlock, but until more definite information as to the log production of the past winter is obtainable, prediction is hazardous. There is but a small quantity of dry stock in first hands, and dealers have found it necessary to buy from each other to some extent in order to fill orders. So far as can be estimated there has been a slight falling off recently in im- ports of yellow pine. This is believed to be due to the advanced prices adopted by theSouthern Lumber Manufacturers’ Asso- ciation, making it more difficult to realize a margin on Canadian shipments. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. While the lumber trade in the Eastern Provinces is still quiet, the opinion is quite generally held that the season will be fairly prosperous. The manufacturers are receiving numerous inquiries” for lumber for shipment to the Eastern States, which trade ts likely to be greater than last year, when the P residential election induced a « sf * oo, 7 po P cos ape a iy”, disposition towards conservatism. The smaller production of logs and the im- provement which has already taken place in the British market are factors favorable to an advance in lumber prices. New Brunswick cedar shingles are exhibiting considerable strength and for the first time in many months sales of extras have been made for Boston delivery at $3.35. Competition with red cedars is quite keen, and were it not for this fact it is believed that prices would soon advance Io to 20 cents. The outlook, however, is more en- couraging than for a long time. UNITED STATES. Reports from the different districts more uniformly favorable than at any previous time this year. Since the mild wealther set in, the movement of lumber has steadily increased, until the volume now is in excess of that of one year ago, with indications of a further expansion in the near future. White pine, yellow pine, spruce and hardwoods are all showing renewed life, and conditions at the pre- sent seem to favor the holder of stocks. — There has been an improvement in gen- ~ eral industrial conditions and the outlook is for an active building season, circum- stances;which should have a strengthening effect open the lumber market. The Southern pine mills are operating to their full capacity to meet the orders, and the output in any instances is sold far in ad- vance. There is a steady demand for all kinds of hardwoods, whereas the supply of elm, ash and oak is none too great. Maple and basswood are to be had in larger quantities. Prices show no parlicular change from last week. Mill cu'ls are a little higher at Buffalo and Tonawanda, the scarcity of this grade making it an’ easy matter for Herman H.

There has not been much improvement in the demand for lumber in Great Britain, __ but there is no doubt that a more hopeful feeling exists. The tendency’ of prices is to harden, as stocks on hand are held at “e considerably lower figures than new sup- plies can be bought for. Representatives of shippers have closed some business, but a few of the largest buyers are holding off in the hope that they may yet be given some concessions. Thestatistical position of Canadian lumberis very strong. Stocks of first and second quality white pine on the East Coast of England are practically exhausted. There is a very satisfactory demand for spruce-deals and flooring, this trade being benefitted by the improvement Fe < in the cotton industry. The Liverpool correspondent of Timber says: ‘‘That H there will be an improved consumption tor _ 7n. by 3 in. spruce goes without saying, and as this size forms such a great pro- portion of every cargo, it behooves sellers to consider whether it be wise for them to go on disposing of them at about cost price or something less. This is what happen- ed all last year, and with what result? _The idea was to restore the balance by adding an extra price to the 9 by jin. ‘The result has proved to be that the bulk ; of the present holdings remain in 9 by 3in., - so that the desired return is still on paper, ' eh may possibly be never realized. Would it not have been better in every way to have reduced quotations for the 9 by ans and increased those for the 7 by Ue: in.? This would have brought them 3 J. B.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION nearer together and held out a more solid inducement for consumers to have taken more of the wider widths.” NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES. Stocks of cedar shingles left in manufac- turers’ hands at the beginning of the win- ter were small and the winter m production has been less than normal, as prevailing prices did not show much, if any, margin of profit. Orders accepted during the last month will virtually clean up all Extras, Clears and 2nd Clears left in Eastern Canada. The winter mills are now closing down and the summer mills cannot start before the middle of May, as th y have to wait for their logs to come down. Many of the operators have al- tready booked orders at advanced figures for May shipment. The market is, there- fore, now nearly bare, very few shingles can be cut before May 15th, and a portion of the May output is already sold. This constitutes an extremely strong situation and is sure to be emphasized as soon as the New England retailers shake off their winter lethargy and start in to replenish their now rapidly dwindling stocks. Trade prospects in the Eastern States are better than for many years, and unless abor troubles or some entirely unforeseen business calamities intervene, consump- tion will be very large throughout the entire building season. One large pro- ducer of shingles is building two addition- al mills, but the operators in general! have taken out no more logs than last year and in some sections the cut will be slightly ROBERT WATT WIARTON, ONT.

Present indications would show that the spring demand will not be satis- fied before mid-summer and in the mean- time prices will rule very firm. It is a little early as yet for the placing of any large amount of business, but we believe shingles will be much sought for and orders very plentiful within three or four week. Orders for immediate shipment are very hard to place right now. Stand- ard brands are quoted for May delivery as follows, f.o.b. Boston points: Extras, $3.35 to $3.40; Clears, $2.90 to $3.00; 2nd Clears, $2.35 to $2.40; Clear Whites, $2.25 to $2.30. The scattered remnants of the small winter mill cut are being offered at 5 to 10 cents less, but there are very few left unsold. Clears are in least supply and best demand and are compara- tively stiff, although the entire list is now strong. It will probably be the part of wisdom for the manufacturers to re- frain from taking advance orders this spring at anything less than full market quotations. STOCKS AND PRICES. S. E. O’Brien, Secretary of the Ottawa Improvement Commission, Ottawa, will receive tenders up to April 11th for the supply of timber required by the Com- mission during the current year. J. J.

Lumber Company, of Toronto, have just sold nearly 34,000,- ooo feet of lumber to the Herman Hettler Lumber Company, of Chicago. The transaction includes all the dry lumber that is unsold now on the docks at Spragge, Ont., estimated at between 3,c00,000 and 4,000,000 feet, and the lumber to be sawn this year, estimated at 26,000,000 feet of white pine and 4,000,000 feet of norway. The consideration is announce to have been between $600,000 and $700,000. full figures for both large and small lots. All of the Eastern mills have been booking orders freely, and in several cases import- ant shippers are sold well toward the middle of the year for everything they can produce, and the market has toned up wonderfully and is to-day very firmly fixed upon a basis of $19.00 for timber under 9” and $21.00 for all stock running 9” and over. It is generally understood now that lumbermen in the North and East havecaught every log possible dur- ing the past winter and will have a full supply with which to meet this season's demand. The English market for spruce has been toning up steadily and itis now which would not only take all he had in the yard, but all he had bought® and that he had bought every lath offered within the last three months and actually sent out inquiries in an effort to locate supplies for his spring trade, East- ern cedar shingles are iust about steady on a basis of $3.25 for extras and $2.85 to $2.95 for clears, with the latter grade in strong demand and well sold up. There is a fair supply of extras on hand at pres- ent, but an early Spring opening will basis of $16;:00, the outlook for a steady market is regarded as exceptionally good. The hardwoods show little change dur- ing the month. P.ain oak, either red or white, is about the strongest item on the list, though mahogany has come to the front again and is finding ready sale at full prices. Quartered oak, which has been a trifle druggy during the past six or eight months, is showing somewhat more tone, with most quotations for 1” Is and 2s ranging from $76.00 to $80.00, In other respects the market is unchanged. THE OUTLOOK FOR HARDWOODS. to be anticipated. As will be remembered by those who keep in touch with this department of the lumber industry, stocks at the end of 1904 were relatively lighter than at the corresponding time in 1903. This condition was not only true with respect to manufacturers of hardwoods but with the consumer also. Evidently consumers thought to impose the burden of carrying stocks through the winter months on the manufacturer,with the ap- operating throughout the hardwood pro- ducing territory especially have created a sho tage in the supply which will not be made good at a very early date. Many of the larger manufacturers with a better appreciation of the situation than have some of the consumers who are imbued with the idea that supplies will be forth- coming indefinitely, took a chance on the outcome a few months ago, and while they could have sold quarter sawed oak, for instance, at from $65 to $68 last fall, they held for higher prices which they to- day are securing. Notjonly have they been able to demand and receive the price for which they were willing to part with their exception of the furniture factory districts, lends color to the be‘ief that the consumer is out fer all the hardwood stock he can get provided prices are within reach of his bank account. Itfis scarcely possible that hardwood values will dip below their present level during the re- mainder of the year and the shortage throughout the country may result in an agreeable manner to the producer who has the material to market.

WHITE, Mayor, Chairman Board of Water and Sewerage, II CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. ONTARIO. Weather conditions could not be more favorable for the lumber trade. Building operations are active and in many cities promise to be considerably greater than last year. During the past three months the building permits granted in the city ot Toronto represented an approximate value of $1,186,768, as compared with $477,675 for the corresponding period in 1904. During the month of March permits for buildings were issued in Hamilton to the value of nearly $300,000, and in London and other cities and towns in Western Ontario there is a corresponding measure of activity. Under such conditions there is certain to be a large consumption of lumber and strong market. Reports from the Ottawa Valley are equally favorable, and prices of both pine and hardwoods continue firm. The decline in the price of basswood which occurred during the win- ter months has resulted in an increased consumption, and the market is now firm on the basis of $23 to $25 for mill run f.o.b. cars Toronto. The feature of the past week has been an advance in British Columbia shingles. For Ontario delivery prices are now mark- ed up about 30 cents, and it is believed that the condition of the shingle industry is such that these prices can be main- tained. BRITISH COLUMBIA SHINGLES. There is a better feeling in respect to the outlook for B.C. shingles. The ex- periences of the past year have shown manufacturers the utter futility of endeav- Oring to keep prices up in the face of an abnormal supply, and the movement which has now beencommenced to regulate the production and obtain a fair price is likely to be more earnestly and univers- ally supported than any previous plan. A few manufacturers have already sold their output for some months in advance, and it is expected that there will be no difficully in maintaining the new price list. UNITED STATES. There have been no unfavorable de- ve'opments duiing the past week to im- pair the strong tone of the lumber market. The demand is good and prices in many instances are showing a hardening ten- WOODS & SPICER, Limited ee BRITIS EL COLUMBIA F-Bi-D CEDAR SHINGLES We have had over 15 Years Experience, and are not Asking our Competitors for any Pointers as to Quality.

Keenan Bros., CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION dency. The shortage in the log produc- tion, on account of the early break-up of winter, is not likely to prove quite as great as was anticipated a few weeks ago and most of the mills will have a fair supply of logs for the season’s work. In the Saginaw Valley there is a strong de- mand for material for conversion into box shooks, and mill culls have been sold as high as $16.50. Fine common is also strong in that market. Buffalo and Tona wanda dealers are doing a satisfactory trade and predictions are made of higher prices for white pine. At the monthly meeting of the White Pine Association held on March a2tst, it was stated that the shading of prices was over and an agree- ment was reached to sell nothing. below the full list price. Activity in hardwoods is more marked than at any previous time this spring. Dealers are refusing orders for plain oak, which is particularly scarce in inch and 1% inch. Elm and birch come next in order in respect to demand, followed by maple. Basswood is selling much more freely than in the winter, but prices are still a little weak in comparison with the market of a year or more ago. All kinds of shingles are in better de- mand. White pines are being sold in Buffalo and Tonawanda at 25 cents be- low red cedars. Lath prices are stiff. GREAT BRITAIN, There is no doubt that the prospects for the lumber trade in Great Britain are steadily improving. To the fine weather is due in part a heavier consumption, and this is expected to continue. In view of the low condition of stocks, the result has been to bring about an advance in the price of such lumber as is now on hand. Dealers are disposed to purchase at pres- ent values and are also considering’ offers of Canadian lumber which a few months ago would have been regarded jas” exorbi- At the recent auction sales the bid- ding has been more lively and slightly higher prices have been realized. Several lots of Canadian pine were recently sold under the hammer at Liverpool, bringing £12 per standard for 3 x 11 in. 3rd qual- ity and £19 for 2nd quality, 14 to 16 feet. Spruce deals are still advancing. Where- as six weeks ago the highest price ob- tant. tainable for a specification containing 70 per cent. narrows, balance g in. and up, was £6 17s. 6d. c.i.f., parcels are now changing hands at an advance of fully 12s. 6d. on these prices. Brokers are ob- taining £7 5s. for 3 x 7, £7 17s. 6d. for 3 x 9, and £8 17s. 6d. for 3 x 11, with a prospect of a further rise during the pres- ent month. As shippers are not unduly pressing sales, the outlook is much brighter than it has been for some time. STOCKS AND PRICES. The Dominion Lumber Company cut during the past winter about 8,000,000 feet of logs on their Labrador limits. The tug Mary C recently’ arrived at Vancouver, B.C., with a boom of Ameri- can spruce logs for the Pacific Coast Lum- ber Company. It is estimated that the quantity of logs to be driven down the Kennebec river, in Maine, this year will be 25,009,000 feet less than last year. The Ottawa Lumber Company have secured the contract for the annual supply of lumber required by the Board of Works of the City of Ottawa, their price being $9, 307.50. The Toronto Junction Lumber Company have secured the contract for supply of lumber for the town of Toronto Junction, Ont., their price being $19 per thousand feet for pine and $18.50 for cedar. A dispatch from Dauphin, Man., states that Theo. Young, forest ranger, has seized 10,000,000 feet of lumber cut in the Swan River district by portable mills. The timber was taken off lands on which the Government allows no timber to be cut. The Huron Lumber Company, Spanish Riyer, Ont., expect to have’ 18,000,000 feet of logs to cut this season, ‘The Moul- throp Lumber Company, John’s: Island, have secured about 20,00v,000 feet, and Eddy Bros. & Company, at Blind River, Ont., will probably have 15,000,0c0 feet. The Cleveland-Sarnia Saw Mills Company have put in 20,000,000 feet. The steamer Briardene sailed from Hali- fax, N. S., last week, for Liverpool, with 1,584,988 feet of spruce deals and 15,226 feet of birch timber. MANUFACTURERS on er ei Capacity 100 Million a Year. Limited Owen Sound, Ont.

Our market is well supplied with this de- scription of lumber, especially in second quality, of which there isa rather heavy stock, and dealers are not prepared to in- crease their holdings exceptatmuch lower prices. Spruce on the contrary is wanted, stocks of merchantable being almost nil, and a couple of cargoes would do well. We have nothing further to-report about shingles, as with the usual light demand at this time of the year, dealers have not reduced their holdings very much, but we think that in the next month or two a better feeling will set in, when moderate shipments of both Long Gaspe and Cedar Laying would meet with a ready sale at remuneralive prices. BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER. (Correspondence of the CanaDa LUMBERMAN.) _ Vancouver, B.C., March 27th, 1905.— This_is the season of the year when the lumber trade is good if it is good at all, and the present demand and the antici- pated trade of the coming summer is _ keeping the mills busy. The depression of last year'was severely felt, and the effect is still apparent. In Vancouver some of the large concerns had to dip into capital account, and financial stringency is still ~ reported in more than one instance. Ifthe duty is imposed, as asked, for, everything will turn out all right, but if not the com- petition may drive a few more to the wall. In Vancouver city the resumption of oper- ations by the mills has brought back good times. January and February were two of the worst months in local business and money circles for a long time, but with the starting of the mills prosperity is fair. Stocks are beginning to pile up in the yards, but local trade and outside de- mand are preventing them from becoming too heavy. Prices continue firm in all lines, no deviations being yet reported from the price list inaugurated three months ago. This will be the largest year of building in this city and the mills pill benefit accordingly. The latest in connection with the old Ross-McLaren mills at New Westminster is that Mr. L. David, the manager, has returned from San Francisco, having com- pleted ali arrangements for the re-opening. Sixty-five experienced hands are to be brought in, and special attention is to be paid to export trade. Heretofore, the shipment of lumber to foreign ports has been done by the British Columbia Mills, Timber & Trading Company on the main- land and principally the Chemainus mill on the island. The Pacific Coast Lumber Company is developing a boat building industry in connection with its operations, Last week what will be the largest tug in B. C. waters was launched, and _ construc- tion has commenced on the hull of a dredge which is to operate in the Yukon ‘ Ill. and willbeshippedin‘‘knocked down.” The building of scows and boats is brisk in the yards of A. Wallace, adjoining the mills of Messrs. Robertson & Hackett, who supply the large quantity of lumber neces- sary. { Mr. S. H. Bowman has organized the Bowman Lumber Company, which pur- chased the interests of the Empire Lumber Company at Revelstoke and Comaplix. Apart from the business transfer, it is not improbable that the methods carried on successfully by Mr. Bowman in the States may be introduced here. The Company has about 60 retail yards and offices in difterent parts of the country south of the line, and handle their own lumber from the ownership of the limits to the distribution of the lumber to the consumer. Lumber- men in the eastern portion of the province, particularly, are discussing the establish- ment of retail yards in the Territories, and Mr. Bowman may put his experience into practical operation. The action of the Elk Lumber & Manu- facturing Company, of Fernie, will be watched with interest by other lumber companies in the west. It has entered suit against Mr. Stewart, contractor for the Great Northern railway, for damages done to their property last June by the big forest fire. The case will come up at the spring assizes in Nelson, The assets of P. S. Hardy, general store and saw mill, Chambly Canton, Que., have been sold. J.B. Farwell & Son «. CONTRACTORS AND DEALERS IN.

A representative of the CANADA LUMBER- MAN recently interviewed Mr. W. P. Dutton, of the Red Deer Lumber Com- pany, Winnipeg, in regard to lumber conditions in Western Canada. He said: “T believe that the coming year is going to be a prosperous one among lumber manufacturers and retailers throughout Manitoba and the North-West Territories. Market conditions south of the line are getting in much better shape than they have been for quite a while. Pine prices are stiffening and the curtailing of the output by the southern and western mills is beginning to have its effect. This means that the manufacturers the United States are going to find a-ready market for their product, at such prices that it will not be necessary for them (o ship into Canada in order to protect their own market. It is common knowledge that these mills have sold lumber in Can- ada at lower prices than they were willing to sell in their own country, in order to not demoralize their market, This has been a hardship to lumber manufacturers on this side of the line. “The Red Deer Lumber Company had no trouble in dispesing of practically the entire cut of the seasun of 1904. We have been obliged to take our travellers off the road until we can get caught up in with our orders and see what we have left in our stock after orders now in have been filled. We look for a brisk spring trade, since country stocks are low with the exception of some of the line yard companies. We are preparing to saw between twenty-five and thirty million during the coming summer. The new extensions on the Canadian Northern and the Canadian Pacific Railroads are open- ing vp some magnificent farming lands, all of which require’a certain amount of lumber as the new settlers come in. These extensions are well iocated so far as our company is concerned and as the demand increases in this new country, we expect a steadier market with better prices.” Mr. Dutton expressed himself as being sanguine that something would be done by the Government towards the relief of those lumber manufacturers who are not located near their market, and said, ‘‘I think that any system by which the Ameri- can manufacturer can be kept from ruin- ing the Canadian market while he is protecting his own, will be acceptable to lumber manufacturers on this side of the line. I believe that the Canadian manu- facturer can make lumber as cheaply as the American. The objection to allowing American ‘lumber to come free into this country lies in the fact that the American manufacturer can make money in selling his high grade stock, while, at the same time, he is sacrificing his low grade stock in order to get rid of it. The Canadian manufacturer who isnot fortunate enoughto manufacture any high grades is obliged to selllow and middle grade stocks ex. clusively. If these grades are being sacrificed in his market by the American manufacturer, it stands to reason that when conditions get bad enough the Canadian manufacturet is going to be ruined. I have heard men say that if the Canadian cannot manufacture as cheaply as the American, he better go out of busi- ness, but such expression of opinion only shows a man’s ignorance of the true conditions. ‘The number of offers which we have had of British Columbia timber and mills go to show the desperate condition in which the British Columbia manufacturer is placed. There are a great many mills on the coast and in the mountain district the proprietors of which have bought timber cheap and who are manufacturing ds cheaply as could be expected, but who have nevertheless been ruined by Ameri- . can competition, in the past two or three years. These men have become discour- aged or their mills have gone into the hands of assignees, and they not only need the protection which they have asked of the Government but they further have a right to expect such protection. ” UNITED S April 5, 1905 The men who control the Red Deer Lumber Company are also putting upa plant at Fernie, B. C., where they expect to turn out thirty to ferty millions a year. When our correspondent suggested that the erection of this mill might indicate to some people that his utterances and ac- tions were not consistent, Mr, Dutton replied: ‘‘The fact that we are erecting this large mill in British Colombia goes to prove that what I have said is correet. A couple of years ago, we bought four to five million feet of timber near Fernie. With this timber, we purchased a mill which had a capacity of thirty to thirty- five thousand feet in ten hours, expecting for the time being’ to manufacture with this mill only. After a year’s operation, we found that, manage things as well as we could, the mill would make us no money. The mill was as good as the average mill of the same capacity, but market conditions were such that the stuff which was turned out could not be sold for enough to pay us to run it, We were ACME LUMBER CO.

ONTARIO, The trade in lumber continues to ex- pand with the advance of favorable spring weather. Navigation on the upper lakes is now open and water mills are actively shipping out lumber to provide piling ground for the new cut. Those manu- facturers who carried over logs from last season are starting their mills, while others who are obliged to wait for the drives will not be able to resume operations for amonth or more. During the past week there has been more evidence of a dis- position on the part ef manufacturers to meet the buyers’ ideas with a view to closing transactions and reducing the quantity of stock in mill yards. The tone of the market, however, is still firm, and while small price reductions are being made in some grades, these are offset by advances in others. The strongest grade in white pine is mil] culls, which are held at $13 to $14 at the mills. For 10-inch and wider dead culls $11 is. being asked. These prices are strong evidence otf the comparative scarcity of low grade pine. Ten inch box and common is worth $17.50 at the mill, and 12-inch $18.50. Hemlock continues exceptionally strong and the few manufacturers who have any quantity of 12-inch for sale are asking $14. : Hardwoods are moving in moderate volume. Dealers are not buying as liber- ally as might be expected at this season of the year, but on the other hand manu- facturers are nct forcing stock upon the market. In Eastern Ontario the stock of hardwood logs is larger than for many years, and in the West the supply will probably be found to be sufficient to meet the market requirements. A decline in prices of hardwood lumber is improbable, as logs have been costly and the margin of profit is not large. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK, The lumber market of Eastern Canada ia quiet and steady. There has lately been a larger movement in Montreal, where building operations are getting quite active, with prospects of a very busy sea- son. Ottawa waney pine is a little easier, as will be seen by reference to our quotations, while elm timber is firmer. Spruce prices are showing strength, and in view of the light production of logs, are likely to further advance before many weeks. The estimated cut on the St. John river the past winter is 100,000,000 feet, as compared with 170,000,000 feet last year. The quantity to be driven on the Restigouche is placed at 45,000,000 feet, against 65,000,000 feet last year, while the Tobique cut at 18,000,000 feet shows a falling off of 13,000,000 feet. This is a total reduction of over 100,000,000 feet exclusive of the Miramichi figures, which will doubtless show a decline. New Brunswick cedar shingles are sell- ing quite freely at $3.35 for extras, Boston delivery. UNITED STATES. The changes in the lumber market dur- ing the past week have been in the di- rection of improvement. Many grades of pine are stronger, consequently a revision of our price list has been made. Four inch uppers have been marked up to $90 at Buffalo and Tonawanda, and 4-inch selects to $85, each representing an ad- vance of $5 as compared with previous quotation. No. 1 barn boards have been advanced one dollar at Saginaw, and A and B strips are raised $2. These grades have been selling at the higher prices for some time past, but a few dealers, who have now fallen into line, were accepting orders at the old figures, Navigation on the upper lakes now being open, lumber is commencing to move by cargo. The tone of the spruce market is. very firm and higher prices are predicted in the near future. The consumption of hard- woods is large and the trade prosperous, Basswood is the only lumber that is re- sponsible for any disappointment, and considering the extent of the decline in price, it does not improve as was gener- ally expected. Elm and ash are scarce in many districts, and both are in good demand. Maple is a little higher at Saginaw, with maple flooring up about $2. Birch continues to be a good seller. GREAT BRITAIN. The tendency of the British lumber market is doubtless.to improve, but the report which has. gained currency, and which seems to have some foundation, that a Manchester importing firm is in difficulties, has caused a feeling of un- easiness in some quarters. Apparently, the effects of last year’s unprofitable business are still felt quite keenly by those who were unfortunate enough to buy heavily before the drop came. The deal market is not yet all that could be de- sired, as the South African demand is de- ‘veloping very slowly, but in other respects conditions are healthy. There has been an increased call for narrow widths, which sell more readily than 11 inch. A Liverpool report says of spruce: ‘‘ Spruce is still very firm, and the small parcels that come forward by the liners are being sold at high figures.

STOCKS AND PRICES. An extensive sale of timber limits is be- ing held at Fredericton to-day by the New Brunswick Government. The Scott Lumber Company, of Fred- __. ericton, N. B., expect to have 20,000,000 feet of logs to supply their Victoria mills this season. . Lombard & Rittenhouse, of Cheboygan, _ Mich., have bought 400,000 cedar ties in "the upper peninsula of Michigan and Canada this year. The Edward Hines Lumber Company, of Chicago, which logged 125,000,000 feet in Wisconsin during the past season, put in less than 90,000,000 feet this winter. A. McBeath, of Kippen, Ont., has se- cured about half a million feet of hardwood logs for this season’s operations.’ They consist principally of soft and rock elm and basswood, most of which were bought at about last year’s prices. Mr. McBeath reports that the mill yards in that part of the province are well stocked with logs. EJ. B.

Musson, Son & Company review the mar- ket as follows: The only arrival during the fortnight is the Schooner ‘‘ Marguerite,” from Meteg- han, N.S., to ourselves, with 40,000 feet of white pine and 60,000 feet of spruce, which we sold at $26.30 and $18.80 for merchantable and second quality white pine, and $22.70 and $16.85 for shipping and secend quality spruce, while a small lot of spruce plank and scantling in same cargo brought $22.70 and $16.07 respec- tively. Our market for white pine is still well supplied, but further arrivals in spruce, which is scarce, would do well. “The remains position of the shingle market as last advised, and with no arrivals of either Long Gaspé or Cedar Laying, dealers are gradually reducing their holdings, which somewhat improves the prospect for next arrivals. “*Since writing the above the Schooner ‘*Basutoland”’ has arrived from St. John, N.B., with 244,000 feet of white pine and spruce, which was sold at $26.10 for mer- ROBERT WATT ; WIARTON, ONT.

While 7in. and 8in. in a spruce cargo was looked upon more or less as a drug, to get rid of which it was necessary to sell these sizes practically below cost and to realize such profits as were practicable up- on other sizes, their relative cheapness has resulted, says the Timber Trades Journal, in the development of a demand for these sizes, which has ensured for them to-day a regular if not brisk demand. As 55 to 60 per cent. of an average spruce cargo trom St. John now consists of 7in. and 8in., it is obvious that the seller, if he is to realize anything out of the spruce trade at all, must make these widths carry a little more profit. Concurrently with the growth in the use of these widths, there appears to be some falling off in the call for gin., and wider and where 11in. was once a plum, the percentage of which was carefully inserted in the contracts, and delivery rigidly insisted upon, now this size is inclined to hang fire, and has declined relatively in value. We hear that £7 10s. has been refused this week by shippers for a 1,000 standards prompt cargo of Miramichi spruce, close on three- fourths of the cargo consisting of 7in. and 8in. Ifa cargo of this kind was costed out on something like the relative differ- ences in the value formerly existing be- tween the different sizes, it would be seen Ill. — 7. —— that spruce has appreciated in value to an extent which is not at all represented by the mere difference in c.i.f. quotations.

Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) St. JOHN, N.B., April 4th, 1905.—An important feature in lumber selling in this section was the sale and shipment of several lots of 1 inch merchantable spruce boards which went to the United Kingdom. The demand in this line in that direction has developed during the last few weeks in a way thatis veryencouraging to those who have Provincial spruce boards in stock, which isthe case with practically every manufacturer in the city, as mentioned in previous letters. The sales mentioned total well up to 600,000 s. ft. and were made at figures which will leave from $10.00 to $10.25 per M s, ft. on the wharf atSt. John. The quantity spok- en of above cleans up the much greater part of the holdings in this line. In other lines the outlook for N.B. wood products in the U.K. is very encouraging and the feeling among the local dealers is ‘proportionately optimistic. all information obtainable, there seems to be a tendency among the dealers in the U.K. to refrain from buying or contract- ing as long as possible rather than resume business upon a schedule at higher prices, a circumstance which is quite usual and natural after a period of depression and low prices. On the other hand, the manu- facturers and dealers on this side show their confidence in the future by their According to , willingness to wait rather than tie them- selves up by selling any important quantity or by contracting at even better figures than prevailed at the beginning of the winter slackness. In the meantime the volume of business actually being trans- acted is small, apparently only sufficient purchases being made to fill orders for immediately delivery. The quantity of English deals available for immediate shipment could scarcely be called important, 700,000 to 800,000 s. ft. would cover the amount, which is divided among half a dozen concerns. With the beginning of the manufacturing season, which will bein full swing by May rst, this quantity will be rapidly augmented, but it will be five or six weeks later before . any one manufacturer has any important quantity to offer. The lowest quotation available on Eng- lish spruce deals at this date, f.o.b. St. John, would be $12.75 to $13.25per M.s.ft., (2% price for Fourths and Ends,) on a specification like or equal to the following: 50% 7’s and 8’s; 40% 9's; 10% wides. No cargoes made up entirely of lumber have been shipped from this port to the U.K. since December last, but freight rates are quoted until June 1st at 35s per standard to the West Coast. Since last writing the price of cedar shingles have advanced from 10 to.15 cents per M all round. Quotations are being given to-day in this line as follows, f.o.b. St. John:— Non-dutiable—Extras, $2.95; Clears, $2.45; 2nd Clears, $190; No. 1's, $0.90 Dutiable—Extras, $2.65; Clears, $2.15. Laths have shown a further advance and none are obtainable at this date less than the following figures, f.o.b. St. John: Dutiable, $2.60; non-dutiable, $2.85. MEETINGS OF LOG DRIVING COMPANIES. The twentieth annual meeting of the St. John Log Driving Company was held at Fredericton, N.B., on April 5th, when the following directors were elected: A. H. F. Randolph, John E. Moore, N. H. Murchie, Henry Hilyard and Donald Fraser, jr., with J. Fraser Gregory sec- retary-treasurer. At a subsequent meet- ing the directors re-elected John E. Moore as president. Two tenders in writing were made for the corporatiom driving, one from Robert Aitken at 21 cents per thousand, the other from George Moore at 20 cents per thousand. John A. Morrison also made a verbal proposition to do the work at 24 cents per thousand, to include lumber now in booms, The contract was awarded to Mr. Moore. The stipulations were that the tenderer must name bondsmen who are ready to enter into a bond with him for the sum of $10,000 for the due per- tormance of the contract. The limits of the drive are from Grand Falls to the upper limits of the Fredericton Boom Company and include the St. John River and Aroostook River lumber. The drive this year will be made up of about 100,000,000 feet, while last year it amount- ed to 170,000,000 feet. It was decided to give a bonus of 2% per cent.to the con- tractor on the amount driven to the booms. The annual meeting of the Tobique Log Driving Company was also held at Fred- ericton on the 5th inst. The contract for driving the logs for three years was given to Archie Fraser. The quantity of lumber to be driven on the Tobique and tributaries this season was estimated at 18,000,000 feet, against 31,000,000 last year. The following were elected. directors : Senator Baird, N. H. Murchie, Henry Hilyard, R. A, Estey and Donald Fraser, jr. Senator Baird was elected president, and J. C. Hartley, secretary-treasurer.

ONTARIo. The phenomenal increase in building operations in Toronto this spring is re- sponsible for a very firm and active lum- ber market. Never in the history of the city have the permits fora corresponding period exceeded those of the past three months. Retail dealers are in conse- quence finding their stocks inadequate to meet the demands upon them, and re- plenishment has become necessary toa greater extent than was anticipated earlier in the year. Building activity, however, is not confined to Toronto,as throughout the entire proviace the conditions in this respect are about all that could be desired. The consumption of lumber is large, and he domestic trade this year promises to exceed that of any previous — season. When the relative high price of lumber is considered, this must be regarded as strong evidence of very satisfactory com- mercial conditions. Lumber prices are unchanged from last week. The strongest item in pine is mill culls, for which manufacturers are now asking $14 for No. 1, witha dollar added for ten and twelve inch. The upper grades are holding their own, in- fluenced by some recent purchases for export to Great Britain. White pine shingles are still inactive, and unless prices improve the pro- duction will be curtailed. The B. C. product is being quoted at the advanced prices given on another page. Lath is quite strong, No. 1 white pine being held at $3.25 at the mill, and No. 1 norway at $2.90 to $3. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. The lumber business of Western Can- ada is becoming quite active, The de- mand is increasing and the trade are ex- pecting a season much more satisfactory . than last year. Lumber is still low in price and dealers are disposed to consider the present an opportune time to acquire Stocks. A deal recently made in the South-east Kootenay is an evidence of this disposition. The Moyie Lumber & Milling Company sold to J. C. Graham, of Winnipeg, 1,800,000 feet of lumber, in- cluding all the stock in their yards. It is believed that prices will advance in the WOODS & SPICER, L oe ay eee MANUFACTURERS OF ..... BIA REHD C Capacity 100 Million a Year.

The schedule on shingles recently adopted by the British Columbia Lumber & Shingle Manufacturers’ Associ- ation is now in force, the prices being $2.50 for XXX for Manitoba delivery and $2.90 for points further east. UNITED STATES. Nothing has occurred during the past week to curtail the strength and activity of the lumber market across the line. The large gain in building operations in the leading centers of population, as compared with the corresponding _time one year ago, is an indication of national pros- perity, and no branch of industry is’ likely to be more benefited than lumber. Con- sumers are buying quite liberally and dealers are replenishing their stocks as fast as possible in anticipation of a heavy demand. Prices are strong all along the line. Buffalo and Tonawanda dealers are considering an advance on some of the lower grades of white pine, which are getting scarce. Box and ‘ower are almost out of the market. The Eastern demand .is said to be stronger than it has been foryears. Prices of Pennsylvania hemlock have been advanced 50 and 75 cents a thousand. Spruce is also very firm and a Boston reports states that the demand for many sizes.is greater than the supply. The feature of the hardwood trade has been the adoption of a new list by. the Wisconsin Hardwood Lumbermen’s As- sociation. First and second red oak was advanced $5,No. 1 common $3, and No, 2 common $2. First and second birch, 1 to 2% inch, was advanced $1, also first and second ash in all sizes and first and second soft and rock elm in 1 inch and thicker. On the other hand,. No. 3 common ash was reduced $2, and birch and_bass- wood $1, : Lath prices are still very strong. For Chicago delivery No. 1 white pine is quoted at $4 and No. 2 at $3.25. No. 1 hemlock brings $3.25. GREA -BRITAIN. ~ The stock of spruce ideals at Livetpool and Manchester on March 31st last ‘was “only 15,000 standards, or about 30,000,090 feet, whereas last year it was double that quantity. The ‘statistical position of spruce is therefore ‘very favorable and . Warrants the prediction made by Messrs. Smith & Tyrer that prices will go higher. The stock delivered by the liners from St. John and Halifax is being sold upon a basis of 47 12s 6d per standard c.i.f. Liverpool. The specifications have con- quantity of 3x 11 inch, for which high figures are being asked by retailers. The white pine market, while firm, does not exhibit as much strengh as spruce, and shippers. have not been successful in closing contracts at alto- gether satisfactory prices. Nevertheless, the stock of pine deals is very much under what it was at this time last year, and as shipments are certain to be light, holders are not likely to exhibit much disposition to force stock upon the market. There is a very liberal demand for birch logs. Sales are being made ona basis of 1s 4d per cubic foot string measure for 14 inch average. Birch planks are also meeting. . with a fair inquiry at higher prices. ee ee STOCKS AND PRICES. L. O. David, City Clerk of Montreal, is asking for tenders up to noon of 2uth inst. for the supply of lumber required by the Road Department. The Great Northern Lumber Company, of Scotstown, Que., are understood to have made arrangements for shipping a large quantity of lumber to England this season. Lumbering promises to be quite active in the vicinity of Owen Sound, Ont., this season. William Pedwell expects to cut about 1,500,000 feet at his Brooke mill,and Maitland, Rixon & Company will cut be- tween 5,000,000 and 6,000,000 feet. The log cut in the Rainy River district during the past winter was unusually large, and while the early break-up -of winter caused some apprehension, nearly all the lumbermen, by making an extra effort, were able to get their logs either to the river or railway. It is estimated that the cut in the Rainy Lake, Rainy River, and Lake-of-the-Woods district was about 100,000,000 feet, —_—_—_, HARDWOOD LUMBER PRICES. The.

Mr. W. J. Rogers, Timber _ Surveyor of the Admiralty, is in the city just now, and he states that the timber of __ this province is unequalled in the world _ for stage deals and oar stock. The B. C. 3 ~ Mills, Timber & Trading Company and _ the Pacific Coast Lumber Company are supplying $20,000 worth of selected spruce oar stock, which Mr. Rogers is now 1n- z _specting. Spruce, he says, is far ahead __ of ash, which used to be thought the best. 2 Heretofore, considerable Baltic’ timber _-has been used, but owing to the enter- "prise of some of the manufacturers here, _ tests of B.C. wood have been made in the Davenport dockyard. ‘‘Timber from this province is better, and can be supplied _ cheaper than from the Baltic,” Mr. Rogers told your correspondent, ‘‘and next year _ when the three-year contracts are award- _ ed I expect to see many of them come out this way.” Mr. Rogers will leave on _ Thursday for Quebec, where he will in- spect a coup'e of ship loads of: timber contracted by Dobell, Beckett & Co. Three ships are ready for foreign ports, the Inveramsay, which loaded 1,262,008 _ feet at the Chemainus mills for the United Kingdom; the Belford, 1,665,235 feet, - Hastings mill, for United Kingdom, which Pe is still here owing to delay about her + crew ;~ and the bark Haddon Hall, 1,168,002 feet, Hastings mill, bound for ha ena: dB.

W. David, who is manager of the com- pany which is about to open the Ross- McLaren mills at New Westminster. He states that the principal business done there will be shipment to foreign ports, and vessels will come up the Fraser and load at the mills. The large areas of fine timber on the west coast of Vancouver Island are attracting the attention of saw mill oper- ators. The country there, owing to the absence of railroads, has not been de- vastated by fires, and the timber is in first-class condition. It was there that the first mill of the province was built. The Seattle Cedar Manufacturing Company have selected a site and are preparing plans for a large mill to be erected at Clayoquot. The product, it is stated, will go mostly to the American market, where cedar commands a good price. The largest individual order reported recently was that received by the Bow- man Lumber Company, which has taken over the interests of the Empire Lumber Company at Revelstoke and Comaplix. This company will ship a single order of 35 cars of ‘lumber to the’ Northwest, There is a good demand from the. Terri- tories at present, both for lumber and shingles, and since the new arrangement entered into by the coast millmen, all the mills here are receiving .a proportionate share of the business. .

He was cutting on the limits of the Active Mining Company. The seizure was on execution of judgments in connec- tion with Mr, Mackay’s saw mill enter- prise at Poplar. The opening of the new mill at Kam- loops of the Kamloops Lumber Company was celebrated on the third instant by a public function. Many mills have been and are being established in. the interior to meet local demand. The latest is that of American people on. the north fork of the Kettle river. They are negotiating for the pur- chase of fifteen square miles of fine limits, and will build to supply the demand of the towns and camps on the north fork. John Fenton, who for 30 years was with Gilmour & Company, Ottawa, has resign- ed the timber inspectorship for the Do- minion Government to accept the man- agership of the East Kootenay Lumber Company. TIMBER LIMIT TRANSACTIONS. George Neibergall, James Hunter and John Crawford are announced to have purchased the saw mill,timber limits, etc., of Robert Watt, of Wiarton, Ont. The mill.is‘one of the best on -the peninsula and cuts annually a large quantity of hardwood and other lumber. R. & TF. Ritchie, of Aylmer, Que., have purchased the limits at Mattawa, Ont., owned by the Hull Lumber Company, of Ottawa the consideration being $115,000. The limits consist principally of pine and spruce. P. G. Keyes, Secretary Department of Interior, Ottawa, will receive tenders up to May roth for a license to cut timber on Berth No. 1219, in the district of Alberta, N.W.T., comprising 50 square miles to be Til, selected in not more than ten blocks with- in a prescribed area. A special sale of timber licenses was held at the Crown Lands office, Frederic- ton, N. B., on April 12th. Of the 204 square miles advertised for sale, only 6214 miles were disposed of, and all went at the upset price. The total proceeds of the sale were $1,250. The following were the purchasers: William Richards Com- pany, 10% square miles on the Resti- gouche river; Sumner & Company, 21% square miles on the Nepisiquit river ; John O’Brien, 6 square miles on the North-west Miramichi river; Adams, Burns & Co., 24% sq. miles on fhe Ne- pisiquit river.

Calder, Henderson & Living- ston furnish the following particulars of the Glasgow lumber market: It is satistactory to note that there has been a steady business during the quarter just ended. There was a good consump- tive demand, and as advances in the price of teak, pitch pine, and spruce have been established, the feeling of uncertainty has now to a great disappeared. There has, however, been no extensive extent buying ahead, merchants still preferring to pursue a hand-to-mouth policy. WaANEY PINE—The stock on hand shows that a considerable consumption has taken place since 31st December last, but there is still plenty remaining for all require- ments. Prices all around are weaker, in sympathy with quotations being made for the coming season’s import. Prime ship- building wood of long average by 18 to 19 inches is quoted at from 3s 9d to 4s 2d. First class short .girthy is selling at from 2s 8d to 3s, and second class from 1s 8d to 2s 6d, according to size and quality. SQUARE PINE.—Has been little asked for, First class 35 to 40 feet average is quoted at from 2s 8d to 3s, good fair average at 21d to 2s, but for this latter quality there is practically no demand. RED PiINE.—For this staple there are no enquiries.. The stock is very low, but seems quite ample. E_m.—Stocks show a material reduction as against this time last year. on hand is largely soft elm. elm is very scarce, and quotations have sharply advanced. They are now at gs tod to 4s gd for 40 to 45 feet.average. Oak.—The stocks are healthy. The de- mand has been slow, with the exception of | prime wood of large size. Some parcels of | such have been sold lately at from 3s to 3s | 3d for first class 65 to 7o.:average.. Second | class is hard-to move, and: for such quota- tions are purely nominal. 7 AsH.—Has been in fair request. Stocks first class 14 to 15 inches average. BIRCH. —The stock is practically nil, and what there is, 1s held by~ merchants; Prices are firm at about 2s for 16 iftol average. * DEALS, BATTENS. AND, BOARDS. —There What is Prime rock | and prices are low. from £8 5s to £9 for 11 inches; £7 11s 3d are low and prices firm at 20d to 22d for | | tion, £27 10s for 11 to 12 inches average, SECONDS.—The demand is quiet.

Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAR,) Orrawa, April 10, 1905.—Being mid- way between the seasons, conditions in lumber circles here at present are very quiet. In about two weeks sawing will be in full swing and the Chaudiere assume its customary activity. The lumber cut this year is expected to be about the same as last. Advices received from Edgar Tripp, the Canadian Government Commercial _ Agent in Trinidad, by the Trade and Com- merce Department to-day, indicate that Canadians have a promising market in Trinidad for shooks and boxes, the only handicap being a very high freight rate. Could a reduction of 25 per cent. in the present rate be procured Canadian man- ufacturers would soon control the market in this respect. It is estimated that this year the value of shooks imported into Trinidad will be $400,000. Mr. J. R. Booth was last night granted by the Fire and Light Committee of the City Council a two year, sextension of time for the removal of his lumber from what is known as the Fraserfield yard, which is CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION within the fire area prescribed by by-law two years ago after the great conflagation originating in Mr. Booth’s lumber piles in the west end of this city. The Export Lumber Company was granted a like extension. Mr. Booth has intimated-.that in about two years time he may -close down one watch of his mill, running in day time alone. This is understood to be caused by the purchase of his railway by the Grand Trunk Railway and the consequent lack of facilities for handling his lumber. The Export Lumber Company, one of VIL. the largest retail and wholesale lumber firms in the city, and which has been in process of liquidation since last fall, is ex- pected to resume business about the first of August. It will be under a new man- agement, however. By the breaking of a boom two days ago some 6000 logs belonging to the E. B. Eddy Company were swept over the Chaudiere Falls and scattered down the river. ae eee The planing mill of John Carter, Clinton, Ont., was almost totally destroyed by fire recently.

F. Patterson, of the Canadian _ Pacific Lumber Company, Port Mcody, B.C., takes exception to the statement of _ Mr. Walter Scott M.P., that if a duty were placed on American lumber it would result in an advance in price by the Can- adian dealers, and also a probable scarcity _ inthe supply. Mr. Patterson says: “Regarding the statement that immi- grants now coming into the Northwest J dB. Farwell & Son ___.. CONTRACTORS AND DEALERS IN .. find it difficult to get lumber in sufficient quantities, I may say that the mills here are now running not much over half capacity. There are large stocks of lum- ber in the yards, and the great difficulty the mills experience here is to get orders at almost any price. To an outsider it would seem that a mill running ten hours per day is running full capacity ; but such is not the case. Take, for instance, our company’s mills at Port Moody. Weare running ten hours per day, but only a part of the machinery. We are cutting from 60,000 to 70,000 feet per day, when the actual capacity of the mill is 150,000 feet. As we can only sell between 50,000 and 60,000 per day, we naturally deem it inadvisable to increase the cut until the markets warrants a change. This is the case with almost every millin the pro- vince, and mills in British Columbia can take care of all the trade that can possibly come from the prairie region and still have time on theirhands to spare. This can be done without increasing the prices, and Mr. Scott’s argument that the settlers cannot get lumber in sufficient quantities ‘is not founded on fact. “Tt is notin the Territories where the invasion of American lumber takes place. Mr. Scott’s territory has to a large ex- tent to purchase from British Columbia. In the year ending December 21, 1904, about twenty million feet of American lumber was imported, while in Southern Manitoba and Winnipeg the imports amounted to over eighty million feet, and it was American cheap lumber at that. Some of it did not net the manufacturers the price of the logs at the mill. This ROBERT WATT WIARTON, ONT. Manufacturer and Dealer in Hard and Soft Wood Lumber, Lath, = CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION gave Manitoba somewhat ofan advantage over Territorial points, and Mr. Scott should be a strong advocate for a duty on lumber to prevent Manitoba from securing special privileges over the Territories in tbe purchase of sacrificed American lum- ber. Ifthe dumping clause of the Tarriff Act is of benefit in preventing the sacri- fice of other American goods in this couutry, there is no reason why the lum- ber industry should not share in the bene- fits. The North-west and Manitoba expect to have large manufacturing industries in the near future, and they doubtless will be as clamorous for pro- tection of these on their infancy as they are now that no duty on lumber should be imposed. And they will have a right to expect just that very treatment. I cannot see any good reason that the Government can advance for not giving the only in- dustry of great importance to the Do- minion some measure of protection during the present session of Parliament. I trust that the new Minister of the Interior will be broad-minded enough to look at the Dominion as a whole, and not only at one particular section of it.” From the best figures obtainable at this time it appears that the cut of logs on the Penobscot and Kennebec rivers in Maine the past winter was 71,000,000 feet less than that of a year ago. The total cut of the two rivers figures up 241,000,000 feet. The reason for the decrease is to be found in the large stock of logs on hand last fall. All the big pulp and paper plants, as well as the saw mills on the two rivers, are bringing over good sized Ill, stocks of logs this spring. To this can be added the fact that owners of timber lands placed the stumpage at a figure which prevented most operators from tak- ing any chances at all. To a large extent the stumpage was prohibitive, and only enough logs was cut to meet the demand of the present year. While on the west branch of the Penobscot the figures show that of the 75,000,000 feet cut, only about 14,000,000 feet was cut by the Great Northern Paper Company itself, about two-thirds of the cut on those waters, or 40,000,000tO 45,000,000 ft, will go to that company’s mill at Millinocket.

Sutherland, Innes & Company, of Chatham, Ont., say : Business in cooperage stock has been a little dull, but is looking up. considerable during the last week or ten days. There are a great many more inquiries for cooperage stock than for some time, while orders are beginning to come in a good deal more freely, so that it looks as if trade is improving all over the country. Stocks on hand are still comparatively heavy for this season of the year, more especially in lower grades of staves and mill run heading. No. 1 staves which are thoroughly dry for present use are some- what scarce, although the supply is about equal tothe demand. No. 1 heading is still plentiful, and coopers are able to buy at very reasonable prices. In mill run heading and No. 2 and mill run staves the supply is ample, in fact, these classes of stock are being offered at remarkably low prices, considerably less than the cost of production, so that evidently some of the manufacturers are anxious to clean up their stocks they have on hand before the new stock comes in. Hoops are showing an upward ten- dency, and the best manufacturers are asking a good advance in prices over a morth ago. There seems to be more de- mand for hoops than any other class of cooperage material at the present time, but the production is now being increased very greatly, so there is no doubt there will be plenty of hoops and at reasonable prices. The outlook for cooperage stock is very bright at present. Reports indicate that ‘the fall wheat has come through without any damage, and the spring seeding is under way in the Northwest, so that the wheat crop looks exceptionally favorable. The Government reports indicate that the fruit trees have come through the winter without any damage, and unless something untoward occurs between now and the time for the fruit to set, we are likely to have a very good apple crop this season, The stocks of logs and bolts at the mills are very much lighter thana year ago, sothat the production this year is likely April 26, 1905 to be considerably curtailed, which may little latter on in the season, z affect prices a STREAM DRIVING PROSPECTS IN NEW BRUNSWICK. FREDERICTON, N.B., April 21.—Lumber- men of the St. John River are feeling pretty blue over the poor prospects for getting their logs out of the woods. There have been no rains this spring, and the snow has gone off gradually, making no freshet of water for stream driving. Un- less heavier rains come within a few days, many millions of logs will be hung up in the streams and the mills will be short of logs for the season’s sawing. said last night, in discussing the situation, that at least twenty-four hours’ heavy rain would be necessary to be effective, but even less than that would serve to- wards solving the difficulty. Logs are hung up at different points practically through the whole St. John river region, and stream driving can hardly commence until the appearance of heavy and con- tinued rains. Stream driving operations on the Nashwaak and tributaries commenced early last week. All the crews are at work, but as the water is rather low, not much progress is being made. Fred B. Edgecombe stated to-day that the Edgecombe and Eaton concern had 30e@ stream drivers at the scene of their operations waiting for the water to rise to start logs into the streams. Edgecombe and Eaton have about 8,000,000 feet to come out, including everything. UNITED STATES MANUFACTURERS AND WHOLESALERS THE BONSACK LUMBER Co.

That the markets of the Eastern States are in a very healthy condition is empha- sized by the fact that, at a recent meeting of the dealers in Boston, a committee was appointed to revise the price list govern- ing spruce lumber and clapboards, hem- lock and shingles, the feeling being that in many instances prices were too low. A new list on spruce has been put into ' effect, based on $23 for under 10 inches, Commenting on the situation the Bos- ton correspondent of the Lumberman’s Review says: CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION eS ———————aooooee eee The advance in the price of spruce lumber did not come as a result of a gen- eral organized movement among the shippers, but rather as a result ofa de- veloped demand far in excess of present or prospective supply. When this point was reached a few of the larger shippers advanced their prices, and this was im- mediately followed by a general advance by practically all shippers. This placed spruce on a basis of $20 and $22 instead of $19 and $21, which latter basis had been in order without a break for nearly five years. Under the old list the regular ARNWORTH & JARDINE prices applied to all lengths up to 28 feet, with $1 per thousand added for each 2 feet or fraction thereof in excess of 28 teet, while the new applied to stock up to 24 feet, with $1 added for each additional 2 feet or fraction thereof. Spruce clapboards are very firm and in light supply, with none .of the new cut stock yet available for delivery. The pre- vailing market is on a basis of $50 for the 6-inch 6-foot Northern boards, while 4-foot Eastern boards can safely be quoted from $41 to $42. Spruce lath are very firm at $3.40 to $3.50 for 15-inch and $3.25 for 134-inch VIL. to points taking the Boston rate of freight, while at least one shipper is holding ona basis of $3.45 for 14-inch and $3.60 for 15-inch. The demand is taking care of every available lath offered and all dealers are hard pressed to secure adequate supply. The market for Eastern cedar shingles has advanced a step during the past month with ‘‘extras” very firm at $3.25 for winter sawn stock, and few dealers are willing to take orders for the delivery of spring sawn stock on a basis lower than $3.40 for extras, and I find a general feel- ing both among the shippers and receivers that the market will be on a strong $3.50 basis on or before June 1.

The lumber market has a most healthy appearance. The spring demand is devel- oping as largely as was expected, and the outlook is for a very' active season. Prices continue firm, withno decided ten- dency either to recede or advance, but it may be said that present conditions favor the seller on account of the extensive building operations in Toronto and to a lesser degree throughout the province. There is certain to be a very heavy con- sumption of lumber this year and it would not be surprising if a shortage should de- velop in some classes. The mills are practically sold out of dry stock and con- siderable of the new cut has been con- tracted for. Mill culls and the lower grades continue to occupy the strongest position, but hemlock is also exhibiting an exceptionally good tone. The manufac- turers are realizing higher prices for their stock than ever before, and dealers who earlier in the season entered into contracts based on the prices then ruling are find- ing difficulty in purchasing the lumber at a price which will give them a margin of pronit. Most of the drives have commenced, but low water in the northern parts of the province promises to result disastrously unless there should be heavy rains in the near future. There is very little snow in the woods and the rain-fall this spring has been exceptionally light. If any quantity of logs should be hung up, higher prices for white pine lumber may be expect- ed. Since writing the above, it is learned that rain has fallen north of Sudbury, and that the drives in that district are now moving satisfactorily. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. The lumber market in the Maritime Provinces is at a standstill owing to the uncertainty regarding the log drives. The outlook is very gloomy on the St. John, Miramichi, Tebique and Aroostook rivers, and unless there should be heavy rains in the near future, the logs are al- most certain to be hung up. This will mean considerably higher prices for lum- ber. The present position of the market is very strong. There is a scarcity of deals on the St. John and it is doubtful if a couple of car loads could be got to- gether. Considerable quantities are held on the north shore for shipment upon the Opening of navigation. At the present time deals are worth $13.50 per thousand f.o.b. St. John, a dollar more than three months ago. There is a strong demand for American spruce deals, which have II CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION advanced in price during the past fort- night, The cedar shingle market is much im- proved. Offerings by the small mills are lighter and higher prices are established. Extras for Boston delivery are quoted at $3.40, and clears at $2.85 to $2.90, with the supply of all standard brands com- paratively light. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. The expected heavy ordering of lumber from the North-West and Manitoba mar- kets has not materialized, and shipments up to date are below what was expected. The manufacturers are carrying heavy stocks and are prepared for a rush of or- ders should they come. The mills on the Coast and inthe Mountain district of Brit- ish Columbia are now so numerous that they can take care of nearly double the trade which is now offered. There is a large influx of settlers into the prairie region, but up to date their requirements of British Columbia lumber have been limited this year. The sbingle situation is much improved. For the past six months the market has been in a demoralized state. Owing to the severe competition among the different mills in the province, prices fell below cost and some of the mills went out of business or into the hands of the sheriff. Some weeks ago the manufacturers got together and agreed on a list which will give a fair profit, and it is thought that, after the severe lesson they have had, the list prices will be adhered to. Orders are coming in fairly well and the outlook for a good season’s business is promising. A number of new logging camps have been opened up, and the supply of logs for the season promises to be ample. Wages are very high, which makes the price of logs about $5.50 to $6.00 net at the camp, or delivered at the mill £7.50 to $8.00. Owing to the cheaper grades of lumber from the American side cutting into the North-West market, only the better class of logs are being taken out, as it is al- most impossible to find a profitable mar- ket for the lower grades of lumber. UNITED STATES. The position of the lumber market is entirely satistactory. Practically all classes of lumber are moving in large volume, while the southern pine business is almost booming. Reports in respect to white pine are much better than one year ago, stocks are not heavy, and prices are higher. The demand is making it com- pulsory upon dealers to accept the manu- facturers’ prices, with the result that advances have been made at some of the wholesale points. The great activity in building is consuming a vast quantity of lumber and the requirements of the rail- roads isalso a very considerable factor, The supply of spruce is scarcely equal to the demand. Hardwoods are active, with birch in exceptionally good demand. Ash and elm are also moving in liberal volume, but basswood is lagging. There is a steady call for maple, but prices in the Saginaw Valley show an easier con- dition, as log run has been purchased as low as $14.50. Lath continues to exhibit strength, No. 1 white pine selling in Chicago at $4 and No. 2 at $3.75. The shingle market is showing a better tone, due to increased consumption. White cedars have ad- vanced 15 cents within the past two weeks. GREAT BRITAIN. Lumber prices in Great Britain have undergone no important change during the past week. The failure of a large Nottingham firm, of which several large importers are creditors, has caused an uneasy feeling in the trade, particularly when considered in conjunction with the recent embarrassment of a timber im- porting firm in Manchester. Apart from this feature, however, the market is ina ‘ healthy condition and deliveries from the docks are being made in large quantities. Pine prices are barely steady, but spruce shows an advancing tendency. At a recent auction sale in London 3xg inch third quality Montreal spruce regulars brought £8 15s per standard, while, 3x9 inch first, second and third quality, from Halifax, N.S., brought £8, and 3x7 inch £7 5s. The importing trade are now accept- ing the view that the export of spruce from Canada will be very light this year, and that this condition is likely to bring about higher prices. STOCKS AND PRICES. The city of St. John, N.B., will pur- chase 3,500 yards of paving blocks at 50 cents per yard. The W. C, Edwards Company will sup- ply the lumber required this year by the Ottawa Improvement Commission. J. T. Scanlan has secured the contract for supply of white pine and Spruce lum- ber required by the Road Department of the city of Montreal. The Hanbury Manufacturing Company have purchased the stock of lumber carried at Brandon, Man., by the Rat Portage Lumber Company. The Alex. Gibson Railway & Man- ufacturing’ Company have about 2,000,000 feet of spruce deals of this season’s cut loaded on scows at the mouth of the Nashwaak river, N.B. About 280,000 feet of lumber cut by Crain Bros. was sold last week at Carle- ton, N.B., at auction by virtue of a bill of “ sale given to George McKean, ot St. John. It was purchased by C. E. Gallagher, of Bath, for $1,100. The first log raft of the season came down the St. John river and, reached Springfield, N.B., last week. It consisted of ten joints of spruce and was brought in by Gordon Grant, of Southampton. A run of bank logs is expected this week. The Alma Lumber & Shipbuilding Com- pany will saw about 3,000,000 feet of lumber at Alma, N.B. Linton Tingley will cut about 500,000 feet of deals. The prospective cut of the mill of C, T. White, Point Wolfe, N.B., is 3,000,000 feet. The Fernie Lumber Company, of Fernie, B.C., have sold their Gntire cut for the season to Christie & Company, wholesale dealers, Winnipeg. The transaction also includes the stock of lumber now on hand, which will bring the total up to at least 4,000,000 feet. JAS. LUNNY & CO., HINTONBURG, ONT.

A. _ BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER. _ (Correspondence of THE CaNnapa LUMBERMAN.) __ VANCOUVER, B.C., April 24th, 1905.— _ Conditions in the lumber industry in Brit- _ ish Columbia are more satisfactory this _ spring than they have been for a consider- able time. Logging is active, and from $5 to $7 is being offered at the camp. _ Loggers are beginning to realize that this is the right way to sell logs, instead of hawking them around to mills, with a prospect of considerable deterioration in Eee * - A v Pe ee Oa eae ME er AR Se CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION fl. the process. That price is considered good, and for cedar it is higher. The de- mand for lumber is improving, and many of the mills are working full time. Prices are unchanged, and at present are lower from $1 to $2 per thousand than what they were previous to the ruinous depression of last year. In short, all round the business is good, and a continuation of it will do something toward setting some of the mills more firmly on their feet than they have been for quite a time. In the in- terior small concerns are still suffering, many of them being on the verge of bank- ruptcy. The establishment ot Mr. John Han- bury’s large planing mill at Elko will as- sist the smaller mills. These have been unable to maintain sellers in the North- west market, owing to limited financial resources, and sometimes have found the disposal of their product rather slow. It is Mr. Hanbury’s intention to handle the cut of the small mills. This will afford them a steady and reliable market and will enable them to save expense for machinery to dress the lumber, besides insurance. This idea was suggested some time ago, and is now being carried into execution. Mr. Walter Scott, M.P. for West As- siniboia, wasn Vancouver last week, but only fora day. He made the same old statement in regard to the duty on lumber, that if it were granted the prices would be increased accordingly. Although this has been denied by the deputation that interviewed Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the members of the Government, Mr. Scott still quotes it, and has reiterated it in the interior. Prominent lumber manufac- turers endeavored to see him while in the city to put him right on this question, but he registered from another town in the Territories, and remained secluded while here, Mr. J. B. Miller, president of the On- tario Lumbermen’s Association, was in the city last week. He was returning from a trip fo California, and was accom- panied by his wife and mother. On Vancouver Island the lumber busi- ness is looking up. The Chemainus mills have started their night shift, a resurrec-_ tion of the prosperity of old times. The Ladysmith Lumber Company is to erect another mill with a capacity of 50,000 feet per day. On the west coast there are signs of activity, the timber there being of good quality. It looks as if the test case regarding the export duty on logs will at last come before the courts. Some of the big com- panies have been wishing the Government to take this matter up for some time, and have exported contrary to the Act, in the hope that there would be a prosecution, when the points of difference could be set- tled by the courts. It has been long con- tended that the amendments to the Land Act in respect to prohibiting the export of timber from certain provincial lands were invalid. Inthe present instance a boom of the E. K. Wood Lumber Company, of Bellingham, was seized by Timber Ran- ger John Murray, the logs having been taken off deeded lands, no tax having been paid. Mr. E. K. Forster, of Cranbrook, and Mr. J. McKinley, of Winnipeg, have joined Mr. W. Wardrope in his sawmill enterprise at Sparwood, and have taken a large financial interest. The former will have charge of the mill and the latter of the bush work. The mill of the Moyie Lumber and Mill- ing Company has been taken over by H. Cameron and A. P, Stephenson, who are offering it for sale, Failing to receive satisfactory offers they will operate it themselves. The Cleveland-Sarnia Saw Mills Co., Limited.

Some important changes have been made in the British Columbia timber laws, and some confusion seems to exist as to the exact interpretation of the present regulations. This has led to the publica- tion of a statement in the British Columbia press that the law prohibiting the export of timber has been repealed, which is not _ the case. ' The old lease system has been done away with, and new timber lands can only be held from year to year. Nothing has been done towards removing the embargo CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION Vit prohibiting the export of logs from Crown lands. An effort was made by the Log- gers’ Association to have this done, but the Government could not see their way clear to take such action. It was argued in favor of such a step that, if it were re- moved, much of the rough cedar which cannot be logged owing to the want of a market in this country, could be sold profitably on the other side of the line, where they manufacture a rougher grade ot shingles than in British Columbia. A combination of wealthy lumber con- cerns, including the E. K. Wood Lumber Company, Cobb & Collins, the: Merrill Ring Company, and probably James Dun- smuir, of Victoria, will fight the British Columbia export tax on logs shipped into American waters. Mr. F. J. Wood stated that his com- pany is determined to fight the case to a finish, and has received assurance that he will receive assistance from Cobb & Collins and the Merrill Ring Company. He has been corresponding with Mr. Dunsmuir, and tas that capitalist is opposed to the tax, he expects he willtake an active part in the fight, which promises to be one of the most vigorous legal battles in which the timber interests have ever engaged in the Northwest. If the British Columbia Government wins it means that Americans who own timber in that province and are exporting to the States will confine operations there in future to the logging of lands they have and will acquire no more. Mr. Wood de- clares his company will retire as best it can, and will pull up stakes, If you have any stock you want to buy or selltry the ‘‘Wanted and For Sale” department.

Most dealers have about all the trade they can conveniently handle, for it often requires considerable searching around to locate suitable dry stock. General building material is active and box lumber is in good demand. The Ot- tawa Valley manufacturers are, we are informed, still holding out for the prices agreed upon earlier in the season, al- though as yet the British shippers have purchased in smaller volume than usual. This does not appear to be causing the manufacturers any anxiely, probably for the reason that the United States market is prepared to receive quite heavy ship- ments. All the hardwoods, with the possible ex- ception of basswood, are in good shape. Birch, rock elm and soft elm are the best se'lers. Rains have fallen in the Georgian Bay district and the logs in most of the streams ‘quality is difficult to sell owing to the by oe eu re ‘am No. 16 i z are moving satisfactorily. The produc- he tion of pine lumber this season, however, will be 25 per cent. less than one year ago ie owing to the lighter input of logs, +a QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. 4 Retail dealers in Montreal are’ quite i busy on account of the large volume of "fr building. Price fluctuations during the past fortnight have been very narrow, but there are no indications of weakness. The recent rains have improved tbe outlook fe. for log driving on the St. Maurice river, on’ which there are 6,000,000 logs to come ee | out, Export trade is slow and the shippers have not contracted for nearly as much - stock as usual owing to the high prices if asked for white pine. The upper grades eee of pine are holding their own, but fourth ig greater variety of substitutes. Birch is showing considerable strength and is moving quite freely for export. , Log driving operations in the Eastern — e: Provinces are now under way, the recent ee rains having caused a rise of water in the rivers. It will be some weeks, how- ever, before the drives will all be in safe water.s A quantity of bank logs were mT sold at Springhill last week. Hemlock ae are now worth $4.50 to $5 and spruce : from $8 to $9. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. 4 Pv ad The demand for building lumber in Winnipeg is very active. The number of permits for new buildings issued up to May 8th of this year was 730, represent- ing a value of $3,010,800, while for the corresponding period last year 520 per- mits were granted for buildings costing $2,403,350. Reports from the various manufacturers in British Columbia indi- cate that prices are fairly firm, but the demand is not large enough to make it advisable to advance prices. Most of the shingle mills are running, but the | shipments that are being made are mostly to fill orders received before the appoint- ment of sales agents, and represent practically no profit. The price at the mills is $1.70. It is estimated that there are about 120,000,000 shingles to be con- sumed before Canadian orders, under the new conditions, can be expected. UNITED STATES. The Price List Committee of the Wis- consin Valley and Mississippi Valley Lum- bermen’s Associations last week conferred with the Northwestern Hemlock Manu- facturers’ Association on the subject of prices, with the result that advances were recommended on several items, ranging from 50 cents to $1 a thousand Be aS * its buoyant tone. eee ‘ +2 0"* : a | II on common lumber to $5 on finish and A select. A general advance of 50 cents a thousand on all hemlock was decided upon and an advance of $1 on 3 inch plank and 2 x 8, 10, 12 and 14 foot lum- ber. Hemlock lath prices were increased 25 cents. The advances on pine were as follows : All No, 1 boards and strips, $1; No. 2 boards and strips, 50 cents; 4 inch and 13 inches and wider, No. 3, $1; 6, 8, 1o and 12 ft. No. 3, 50 cents ; mixed widths, No. 4 and 5 boards, 50 cents to $1 ; all piece stuff, No. 3 planks and tim- ber, 50 cents; pine lath, 25 cents. prices were considered justified by the extent of demand and condition of sup- ply. Dealers who wish to replenish their yards are finding that they are obliged to meet the higher range of values which has been established during the past two montlas. tive and there is a fair trade in the higher grades. The spruce mills are crowded with orders and premiums are being paid for prompt shipment. The hardwood trade generally isin good shape. There are reports of a lighter demand for maple and basswood, but birch, elm and ash are quite strong, with the latter selling at an advance in some markets. Cedar shin- gles are now selling freely in the Boston market at $3.40 for extras. Lath are again higher and selling at $3.60 for 15% inch and $3.40 for 1% inch. Coarse pine lumber is quite ac- GREAT BRITAIN. The demand for pine lumber in Great Britain is still somewhat light, but prices keep steady owing to the fact that stocks are not large. Asummary of the stock on the Surrey Commercial Docks, Lon- don, on April 1st, shows a decrease of 6,671 pieces in the supply of white pine deals as compared with one year ago. Nevertheless, in view of the lessened consumption, it is improbable that prices will be influenced by the lighter stock, inasmuch as new shipments are due to arrive within a tew days. The spruce market, in contrast to that of pine, retains At Liverpool the con- sumption for the month of April was about upon a parity with the import, while the stock is only one-half that of last year. The same is true of Manchester.

" (Correspondence of THE CANADA LUMBERMAN.) , VANCOUVER, B.C., May 8, 1905.—If bus- iness in the lumber industry were always as good as at present, there Would be fewer complaints from those engaged in the manufacture of lumber and shingles While it has been better, just now it is very good. Some of the mills are run- ning’ double shifts, the Chemainus and that of the Columbia River Lumber Com- pany at Golden, and the demand in some lines is nearly equal to the supply. Prices are maintained. In the shingle branch, the recent agreement arrived at whereby the Export Lumber & Shingle Company and the Union Lumber Company were to have charge of the sales and orders has The past year or so had been disastrous with shingle manu- facturers, but conditions are) improving... celery at At the meeting of the B.C. Lumber and Shingle Manufacturers’ Association, held last Thursday, conditions were reported ‘to be on the mend. Logging is particularly healthy, with good demand and fairly high prices. ‘Delivered, good cedar logs go as high as ‘$10, the prices ruling from $6 to $10, and “for fir from $5 to $8.50.

Few logs are being exported, except by American limit owners, as the local mills take nearly all that are being cut. Interior loggers, in fact those engaged d “in that part of the industry through all _ the west, will be handicapped in getting the cut to the mills owing to the very light snowfall of the past winter. There is little water in the streams, less than for twenty _ years past, and large numbers of logs will 4 likely be held up on the bars of thestreams _ * which are only high i in the spring ftreshet B time. Messrs. Christie & Company, whole- sale dealers, of Winnipeg,have purchased the stock in hand and the season’s cut of the Fernie Lumber Company, which will amount in all to about four million feet. The price is not made public, butit is un- _ derstoodto bea good one. Thestock of the _ Moyie Lumber and Milling Company has been sold to Mr. J. C. Graham, of Win- nipeg. This was about 1,800,000 feet. Messrs, H. Cameron and A. P. Stephen- son have taken over the interests of this mill, and if they cannot make-a satis- factory sale, will operate it themselves. A. Boulais, until recently foreman of the Cascade mill of the Yale-Columbia Lum- ber Company, has bought Gardiner’s mill at Danville, and has secured a contract already for half a million feet for a Win- nipeg firm. The Elk Lumber and Manufacturing Company are shipping considerable of their cut to Winnipeg, where it will be This plan is being adopted by all the large owners’ in the eastern part of the province. ‘ H. L. Jenkins, of Minneapolis, who is ‘interested in a large mill at Blaine, has with Mr. J. C. Busch, of the latter place, bought about 6,000 acres of timbér ‘on Burrard inlet about eight miles from ‘Van- couver. It is on crown granted land and may be exported on payment of fifty cents per thousand. A settlement has been made by the BE KK. Wood Company, of Bellingham, forthe boom of logs recently seized by the government. It has offen been stated that this company would combine with others, James Dunsmuir and the Merrill interests being mentioned, to test the validity of the law prohibiting the export of logs, and for that reason the payment was not made. The other people failed; in their co-operation, however, so the settle- ment was effected, The Columbia River Lumber Company had a man fined $25 a couple cf weeks ago for having set a fire in their limits. Tim- ber owners are to make an endeavor to prevent, if possible, the wholesale des- truction of timber by fire which takes placeevery summer, and which last year was greater than ever.

FIN DLAY, OWEN SOUND ONT. 3 SM te ar tie bat a m tay “ » — ae i ey odor ety ee ae CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION May 17, 1905 THE GLASGOW MARKET. Messrs. Edmiston & Mitchells’ monthly timber circular gives the following parti- culars of the Glasgow market : Business during the month has been characterized by an entire absence of activity, but while this is no doubt largely owing to the extreme dulness in house- building and other wood-consuming in- dustries (shipbuilding excepted), it must not be overlooked that there are other predisposing influences to account for this: for example, the scareity of attractive stocks atthisperiod,and the fact that most buyers are inclined to wait the new sea- son's import from Quebec. The exceed- ingly moderate imports which have been the rule for the past month or two are accountable for the high point at which values have been maintained, as there is nothing in the local demand to account for it, and the detemining influence on future prices will be the extent of the import during the next few months. Granted that this is moderate, prices will keep firm, but in the event of heavy arrivals, general opinion favors the likelihood ofa fall, in view of the prevailing dulness of trade. WHITE PiNnE.—There bas been no im- port during the month, and the movement from stock has been comparatively trifling. With the approach of the opening of the Quebec season, shippers are inclined to ease prices a little, with a. view to reduce stocks before the advent of the new arrivals. Oak.—A few sales of a minor character have transpired during the month, but apart from this there has been little de- mand. Exim.—The stock is now very low and consists of soft and second class wood, There have been numerous enquiries in the market for rock elm, and there is every prospect of the new season’s wood meet- ing with a good demand. QuEBEC BircH.—There have been two shipments via Portland, about 16/17-inch average, which brought from 1s. 10d. to 2s. per cubic foot ‘‘ex quay.” New Brunswick BircH.—About 4oo logs came to hand from St. John during the month, and were all disposed of from the ship’s side at from 17d. to 18d. for 14 to 14% inch average. Planks have been in fair demand, and recent arrivals have been disposed of at from £7 15s. to £8 per standard c.i.f. The sizes chiefly in demand are 2% and 3 inch. QueEBEc AsH.—There has been no im- pert so far this year, and stocks are now reduced to a very low point. It may be added, at the same time, that there is only an occasional enquiry for this at cne time popular wood. Deas, Etc.—There has been little business done during the month from yarded stocks, but the few arrivals of pine and spruce which have come to hand were, for the most part, disposed of on ‘‘ex quay” basis. However, business gen- erally has been to the quieter side, and there have been fewer enquiries in the market. BOSTON, MASS. H. D.

YELLOW PINE, POPLAR, HEMLOCK AND HARDWOODS Indiana Lumber & Veneer Co. ¢ Veneers : = MASON A. NOBLE MICHICAN a May 17, 1905 TIMBER OPERATIONS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA. Messrs. H. L. Jenkins and J. C. Busch are reported to have bought from the es- tate of the late S: M. Robins 2,200 acres of timber lands situated near Campbell River, Discovery Passage, Vancouver Is- land, B.C. The timber on this land is largely cedar of excellent quality. It is also exportable, and logging operations will. be commenced on the tract in the near future. The price paid for this pro- perty is said to have been $15 per acre. Between 75,000,000 and __ 100,000,000 feet of timber, according to reports fur- CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION vik nished by three separate cruising parties, is being purchased on the North Arm of Burrard Inlet, B.C., by American capital- ists, who intend to export the logs to Pu- get Sound this summer. The deal is now under way, and it is reported that it will probably be concluded this week. The land on which the timber is situat- ed lies on the west side of the North Arm to the northwest of Deep Cove, not tar from Roche Point, and is within the muni- cipality of North Vancuuver. Despite the fact that the most of the timber lies at a high altitude in a district which is very rugged, it can be placed in the water without great difficulty. The major por- tion of the timber is fir of excellent quality, though the trees are not of great diameter, comparatively speaking. Messrs. H. L. Jenkins and J. C. Busch, of the H. L. Jenkins Lumber Company of Blaine, Washington, are behind the pur- chase of the timber land, which consists of numerous quarter-sections lying on the North Arm watershed, It is reported that they are negotiating for some land lying on the Seymour Creek watershed. The latter would have to be logged into the creek and floated down to tide water. Acting in conjunction with Messrs. Jen- kins and Busch is the logging firm of Pierce & Peremp, who have recently been cutting a large amount of timber on the Nicomekl River for export to Blaine. Messrs. Pierce & Peremp will log the tim- ber on the North Arm. FREIGHT RATES ON EXPORT LUMBER. The Lumber Trade Association of the Montreal Board of Trade last week had an interview with representatives of the railways regarding the new freight rates on export lumber. The railways this spring decided to base their freight rate on weight instead of on measurement, and in so doing increased the rate on ex- port stock to practically the equivalent of the rate charged for local consumption, With the cheaper kinds of lumber the in- creased charge is a matter of some con- sequence. The interview will probably result in the readjustment of the rates on a more satisfactory basis.

There is an improved demand for lum- ber throughout the Northwest, and as a result the mills at the source of supply are quite busy. The cheaper grades are most in demand at present, the heaviest call being for dimension timber. The better grades will be more inquired for as , the buildings get nearer to completion. The new list put into effect on May 1st by the Mountain Lumber Manufacturers’ Association of British Columbia quotes the following prices on cedar for delivery at points in the Territories : .No. 1 clear finish, $45 ; clear squares, 3x3 and 4x4, $47 ; clear squares, 5x5 and- 6x6, $49 ; clear squares, 7x7 and 8x8, $57 ; clear squares, 1ox1o, $62; siding and ceiling, No. 1, $40 ; siding and ceil- ing, No. 2, $30; beveled siding, 1x6, No. 1, $25 ; beveled siding, 14x6, No. 2, $20 ; casing and base, No. 1, $45 ; casing and base, No. 2, $35 ; lath, $4.25. For No. 1 clear pine and tamarac the price is $36 ; No. 1 clear fir and spruce, $32, and No. 2 clear, all kinds, $30. Com- mon boards and dimension range from $13.50 to $20 ; 8 and 10 inch shiplap, $15 to $21 ; No. 1 flooring and siding, $24 to $28 ; No. 2, $19 to $24, and No. 3, $16 eto $22. We understand that a temporary discount of about $1 per thousand off the above prices is being given. One hundred timber-cutting licenses were issued in British Columbia during the month of April, and during the first tour months of this year 28 vessels laden with lumber sailed from Vancouver, Vic- toria and New Westminster. UNITED STATES. There is a very healthy tone to the lumber market of the United States, with southern pine showing the greatest act- ivity and strength. Since the beginning of the year yellow pine values have ad- vanced considerably, but this has caused no curtailment in the demand, and at a meeting of the Price List Committee last week it was decided to further advance the figures on dimension 50 cents a thousand, and some items of ‘No. 2 dimen- sions $1. All flooring except No. 1 com- mon was advanced 50 cents; partition, bevel and drop siding, 50 cents; finish, moulding, casing and base $1, and B and WwoopD . i hte yey 4 she The > |S 0 ty ae, ve CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION , en Lt - - fi ¥ ; u é <* 7 a a ae: reas x + ra , better pickets $2. The greatest advance in proportion to the selling price was made on yellow pine lath, which was increased 50cents. Thestatistics presented showed that the mills are carrying light stocks and that many of them are heavily sold in advance. White pine conditions are favorable, with unusual activity at Buffalo and Tonawanda. A shortage of box lumber is reported from Buffalo, but further west the supply is more plentiful. In the Saginaw Valley there isa good demand for fine common and for all kinds of building material. Hardwoods continue to show firmness in the face of the slight falling off in de- mand in the Chicago districts, due to local labor disturbances. There isa more plentiful supply of elm, but plain oak is as scarce as ever and the demand-for ash is as great as the supply. Maple flooring sells very readily. ; GREAT BRITAIN, The feeling in Great Britain is a little more hopeful but contracts are still being placed withthe utmost conservatism. It is a long time since as small a quantity of pine and spruce lumber has been arranged for at this season of the.year, and present indications point to a considerable short- age in the fall unless importers should enter the-market much more liberally in the near future. The latest transactions in spruce deals to Liverpool on c.' i. f. terms, with the usual 60 per cent. of 3 x 7 and 8 inch, balance wider, were upon the old basis of £7 12s 6d per standard of 1980 feet. The consumption of pine this spring has been somewhat disappointing, proba- bly owing to its high cost, but when the light stocks and probable shipments are considered, there seems little likelihood of prices declining from their present basis. STOCKS AND PRICES. The Parry Sound Lumber Company and the Peter Estate, both of Parry Sound, O t., have received a drive of logs, the first of the season. F.

Musson, Son & Company’s report of May 6th, no arrival of lumber took place during the fortnight in either white pine or spruce, and while stocks of former are still ample, latter is getting scarce, and a cargo of this should do fairly well if it should arrive in time for present crop requirements. Of shingles they say: ‘‘We have to report the arrival per steamer ‘‘Orinoco’” from Halifax, of 97,000 feet Cedar Laying to our care, for which we obtained $2.12 per M. and 1,800,000 ex schooner ‘‘Evolution” from: same port, have been lotted by con- signees with some difficulty at $2.05. Our market for these is now amply sup- plied, and the next arrivals will probably have to be sold at lower figures. Long Gaspe are in light stock, and although there is not much enquiry for these, we ex- pect the demand will increase with the advent of the rainy season, and first ship- ment if not large, will bring fair prices.” The portable saw mill of McLaughlin Bros., of Mill Cove, N.

(Correspondence of THE CANADA LUMBERMAN,) St. Joun, N.B., May 16th, 1905.—The lumber trade in all its branches is very brisk just now in this vicinity. The mills are all sawing at full capacity and halfa dozen tramp steamers are being loaded with deals exclusively for the United Kingdom. These cargoes are made up chiefly of deals from points outside the city, there having been no quantity of importance offering by any of the local manufacturers since the cleaning up of the 1904 stock, which was practically all disposed of and shipped a month ago, and the mills not having been running for a sufficient length of time as yet to produce any quantity large enough for immediate shipment, This scarcity of ‘‘English’” stock, to- gether with the advices being received from the U.K. of prices that are at least holding their own and an increasing de- mand, is very encouraging to the local dealers, and the result is at once apparent in a lack of anxiety to sell and a cor- responding firmness in local prices for summer and fall deliveries. Whether the prices quoted are in excess of what the situation warrants is of course a question that only future developments can answer, but on all sides there seems to be a con- fidence that the expectations of those who are making these quotations will be tully realized. At this date a specification containing say 50 per cent. 7’s and 8's, 4o per cent. g's, and 1o per cent. wides, for delivery during the next three months, can not be bought at this date f.o.b. steamer St. John less than from $12.75 to $13.25 per M. s. ft., 24 price for fourths and ends, Freight rates to the West Coast are quoted as 35s. per standard, with little prospect of an immediate change. The conditions for stream driving on the New Brunswick rivers have improved somewhat since last writing, owing chiefly to a considerable fall of rain. On the Miramichi and Restigouche the much greater portion of the drives are already in safe water. On the Upper St. John, while the rains have improved the sit- uation considerably, conditions are not such but that a great deal of anxiety ex- ists as to the ultimate outcome. In this direction rain,is needed badly and im- mediately, and unless it comes the hang- up it is feared will be very heavy. The river is again at a standstill and must begin to fall off again very soon unless the rain is forthcoming. The bank logs and those in the larger streams are com- paratively safe, but those in the small branches of the up-river estuaries (and they total up to an immense quantity) are by no means to be depended upon. Of course, at this date it is impossible to give any exact figures as to the quantity involved nor will. it be posisble to do so~ for several weeks yet. THE ONTARIO LOG DRIVES. A correspondent writes the CANADA LUMBERMAN as follows : ‘‘The recent rains have furnished all of the lumbermen, as far as the writer is aware, with ample water to get their logs down, and it is my opinion that there will be very few logs hung up, if any, as within the last week the Vermillion and Spanish Rivers have risen from 3 to 4 feet, which makes ample water for these streams.” Pees eee ow ine ae! ‘ini WNP ~> Ss BSS eee —, SAS ASENAS NSENAS =a WE'LL TREAT YOU RIGHT That’s what you want, of course — SESS aw SS aS Le VS And that is why we are expecting an S SESS SSS SS =e order from you for some of that fine stock ot SPRUCE LUMBER which you have heard so much about.

D. L. Mather, who is one of the largest contractors, expects to deliver his summer his full cut of 435,000 ties, of ‘which 380,000 are for himself and 55,000 for Murphy Bros.

England Vil. the Red Cedar Lumber Company, of Vancouver. Speaking of the prospect in lumber in the Northwest, Mr. Cushing stated that thedemand, while fairly good, was not nearly equal at present to the supply from British Columbia, In many parts of the Northwest there is sufficient lumber of certain kinds, mostly spruce, to meet the local demand for several years to come. This is especially true ‘around Prince Albert. The season so far, in some parts of the Northwest, has been somewhat dry, causing a feeling that there is going to be a drought this sum- mer, and this has a tendency to discour- age the plentiful consumption of lumber, as the settlers are, afraid to spend their money under the circumstances. As previously announced, Messrs. Hunter, Crawford & Neibergall have purchased the lumber property of Robert Watt, Wiarton, Ont. They will continue the business in the same progressive manner as the late owner, and will al- ways bein a position to supply lumber and square timber, lath, shingles, ties, posts, etc. BRITISH WOOD BROKERS AND IMPORTERS SMITH & TYRER - 4 Tithebarn Street, LIVERPOOL ..

The saw mill of Price Bros. & Com- pany at Amqui, Que., was destroyed by fire on May 25, at a loss of approximately $30,000. .

The close of the month of May finds the lumber business in a very satisfactory condition. While the British demand is still backward, this is more than offset by the large local consumption and the heavy shipments to the United States. En- couraging reports come to hand from the Ottawa Valley, and price lists received from the Georgian Bay district show that all grades, and particularly uppers and selects, are firmer than they have been for months. For 4-inch uppers as much as $90 per thousand is being asked by some manufacturers. The hemlock situation is so strong that manufacturers are not dis- posed tosell in large blocks, as the number ot inquiries which are coming into the mills leads them to believe that higher prices will rule. Most of the mills are realizing from $12 to $13 for 2-inch hem- lock, 10 to 16 feet in length, and $15 for 18 feet. Toronto dealers have about all the orders they can conveniently handle and report an increase in the demand for finishing stock. Maple flooring is quite active, but not- withstanding the duty a_ considerable quantity is being imported from the United States. There is no change in shingles or lath. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. Over 7oo building permits have been issued already this year by the Building Inspector of Montreal, this being 206 more than for the corresponding period of 1004. There is consequently a large local consumption of lumber. The country mills are also doing a fair trade and a considerable quantity of clapboards and other lumber is being shipped to the Eastern States. The drives throughout the province are backward and still in need of rain, and if any quantity of logs should be hung up it would probably re- sult in an advance in the prices of lum- ber. Most of the drives in New Bruns- wick are making fair progress, but it is still feared that some of them may be- come stranded. UNITED STATES. The strike of teamsters in Chicago has interfered with the delivery of lumber in that city, but the lumber market generally has shown some expansion during the past week. There is an exceptionally active demand in some districts for white pine. Especially is this-true of coarse pine and good common product. Although nearly all the mills are in operation, there has been very little accumulation of box lum- ber, and the lake receipts at Buffalo and Tonawanda have not relieved the scarcity in the lower grades generally. The call for building lumber is very large and is not confined to the cities tu the same ex- tent as earlier in the season. Spruce con- tinues strong. Frames are selling in the Boston market at $20 for 9 inch and ° under, 24 feet and under, and $22 for 10 inch and over. Hemlock producers are said to be behind with orders, so great is the demand for lumber which is. compara- tively low in price. Hardwoods are mov- ing, if anything, a little slower, as most of the large factories have now acquired a considerable stock to meet the require- ments of the summer season. Basswood especially is dull, with prices promising none too well. Brown ash is more than ordinarily active and elm and birch are holding their own. The red cedar shingle marketis rather unsteady and an over- stock is predicted in some quarters. The manufacturers have shipped a large amount of transit stock, which has seemed to be more than the dealers require. A move for a shut-down is on foot. GREAT BRITAIN. There are no very strong indications that the cloud of depression which has hung over the timber trade of Great Britain for the past year is passing away. The great naval victory of the Japanese may bring about an early termination of the war, with its consequent improved commercial conditions, but or this point opinions are by no means unanimous. There is no denying the fact that the buy- ing of lumber is being conducted with great conversatism. The market for deals is even quieter.than it has been, but boards are showing a little more life and scantlings and battens are in better demand. -The pine market is in an un- satisfactory position, there being a large discrepancy between the prices offered by importers and those which the shippers are asking, and until they come much ‘W.

Steamer Sicily, BRITISH COLUMBIA SHINGLES, Owing probably to the recent decision of the B. C. shingle manufacturer to sell their whole output through twu companies, the shingle business has been somewhat duller than usual at this time of the year. Many of the retail dealers stocked up pretty fully during the time of keen com- petition and low prices, and they are now slowly unloading. Another reason is that most of the dealers have held back-during the past month or two, apparently waiting to see if the arrangement among the shingle manufacturers will hold good very long. Lately, however, as the manufac- turers are firm in their intention to stand together,and there is every reason to be- lieve they will continue to do so, there are signs that the dealers are beginning to accept the new conditions, as orders have begun to come in. Asis well known, the Union Lumber Company and the Export Lumber & Shingle Company are the firms through whom all, or practically all, the B. C. shingles are now sold. The future effect of this arrangement and the consequent firmness in the prices, it is calculated, will greatly strengthen the shingle situation in British Columbia, At present only about 50 per cent. of the shingles manufaciured here are consumed in Canada, practically all the remainder being sold across the line, even in the face of a duty of 35 cents per thousand. The above is a proof of the superiority of the B. C. shingle. BOSTON, MASS. H. D.

VANCOUVER, B.C., May 22, 1905.—Im- provement in the lumber industry is still maintained, with good demand. Trade is principally with the Territories, and the increase of price on the American side has had the effect in lessening importations. If the statement of the opponents of a duty on lumber were correct, namely, that the price would be increased if protection were given, it might obtain inthe present instance. Though the quantity of lumber brought in from the Sound just now is con- siderably less than during the last year or so, and mills in British Columbia have a good business, there is no inclination to raise the figure. Conditions at present are satisfactory. Logging continues very active. Camps CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION all along the coast are working to capacity, and find a ready market. Prices are still high, though it is expected that a falling off will take place in the near future, when large orders are filled, and the scarcity lessened. Loggers are protesting against the con- cession to the Western Canada Pulp and Paper Company, news of the flotation of which has just arrived. This company has 163,000 acres in the district tributary to Powell river and lake, and the claim is that a large percentage of this is fir and cedar, woods not adaptable for pulp pur- poses. It has been announced by the company that work is to be started imme- diately in the construction of the works at the falls on Powell river, just above high water mark. The fine timber on Vancouver island is attracting the attention of capitalists, and the latest who are arranging for limits isa syndicate of Americans who are contem- plating the erection of a cedar mill on Quatsino, which will have a capacity of 200,000 feet per day. The plan as out- lined so far is to ship the lumber and shingles around to Boston in sailing ves- sels, it being contended that the good price of red cedar shingles there would be more than sufficient to offset the duty. This enterprise, like cthers already an- nounced, is doubtless being started in anticipation. of the completion of the Panama canal, when the matter of transportation from the west coast» of America to the eastern will be a com- paratively smalbk matter. Millmen hardly agree with the statement of one:of the evening papers here, that the placing of a poor quality of lumber on the market by the E. K. Wood Company will have the effect of bringing the price down to $7 or $8. The cutting of prices last fall showed to manufacturers what a ruinous practice it was, and they realized it all the more, since that was not the first. It is hardly probable that the cut will take place, and it is believed that the story is a false prophecy. Mr. John Hanbury’s project to erect a planing mill at Elko should be completed this month, and the plant in operation. Mr. Hanbury is well known in connection with the industry in the west, and he feels sure that his enterprise will be successful. There is every reason why it should be. It will.also be welcomed by the small mill owners in the Kootenay, who will thus have a steady and convenient market for their output. 8 Gordon Street - BRITISH WOOD BROKERS AND IMPORTERS ARNWORTH & JARDINE | Cable Address “Farnworth,” Liverpool. a Dale St., 71 Regent Road BOOTLE LIVERPOOL, ENC.

A superabundance of rain has been the only adverse co dition affecting the move- ment of lumber during the past week, and as this is regarded as but a temporary in- fluence, the firm tone of the market has not been impaired. The demand for finishing lumber is on the increase and promises to be quite large later in the season when the many buildings now un- der construction are nearing completion. The factory demand is not all that it might be, but this too will probably im- prove later when it is ascertained that the accumulation of the new cut will be light and that prices are not likely to decline, The manufacturers are now showing every confidence in a continuation of the present basis of white pine and Lardwood values, while higher prices for hemlock have been suggested. It does not seem probable, however, that hemlock is likely to go much higher in the near future, as competition from the Michigan product is a factor which must be reckoned with in Western Ontario, for during the past week a cargo has been unloaded at To- ronto for distribution to local yards, Apparently, hemlock can be purchased at the Michigan mills below $12. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. There isa fair demand for nearly al; sizes and grades of spruce lumber for loca} consumption and for shipment to the Eastern States, but uncertainty still char- acterizes the British business. The log drives on some of the streams are in safe waters, but on others a_ considerable * quantity of logs has already been hung up. The recent difficulties at Van Buren in connection with the drives on the St. John river is a further source of uncertainty, but itis hoped that some arrangement will be reached by which the New Brunswick drives can be floated past the obstructions this year, as undoubtedly the dispute will be settled before next season. These con- ditions, however, have exerted a strength_ ening influence upon lumber prices, which are even firmer than they have been at any previous time this year. South American specifications have not been in as much demand of late, but it is believed that the conditions causing this setback will be temporary. New Brunswick cedar shingles are mov- ing in average volume, but there have been no indications of higher prices in the im- mediate future. Extras are quoted at $3-35 to $3.40 for Boston delivery. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. The past week has witnessed no great change in the condition of the lumber market of Western Canada. Prices are firm and perhaps a little higher than at this time last year, with a tendency to advance, though somewhat slowly. Dimension timber is moving fairly well, but there is not the usual call for the more expensive grades as yet. The prospects for a good crop in the Northwest are ex- cellent and it is confidently expected that the demand for lumber during June and July will be sufficient to keep the mills busy. Fir and cedar are in good demand. Logs are fairly plentiful, and prices havea downward tendency. Good logs are worth $7.50 per thousand feet at the mill, while rough logs bring from $4.50 to $5.00. Inquiries have come from Japan for prices on some large building lumber, and with the prospect of an early termination of the war it is felt that considerable business will result. UNITED STATES. Shipments of lumber during the past week have been very heavy. Twenty- eight vessels arrived at Tonawanda, with a total of over 20,000,000 feet, which is 3,000,000 feet more than were recorded during the preceding and second largest week of the season. These receipts have been appreciated by the trade, as the de- mand is quite active and promises to pro- vide a market for most of the lumber in sight. The eastern trade has been very satisfactory this season on account of the large volume of building operations. Figures on the lower grades, such as box and mill culls, have stiffened a Ilttle, but otherwise there is no change. The de- mand for hemlock is quieter in the Chica- go district on account of labor difficulties, but as this promises to be one of the great- est building years in the history of that city, there is every prospect of an improv- ed demand during the summer and fall Daa Any 2 MANUFACTURERS OF ......

The Wisconsin Central Railway is justly term- ed the “‘Sportman's Line’’ because it reaches into and through the very heart of the choicest hunting grounds in America. The very best wild fowl shooting of the entire North is reached ONLY by this line. Hundreds of beautiful lakes abounding in wild rice and celery attracts myriads of ducks and geese and afford the finest kind of cover and the choicest shooting to be foundthe countryover. ~— ~— The Wisconsin Central Railway caters espec- ially to the sporting public and during the various seasons for hunting and fishing furnishes daily information to its patrons as to local con- ditions anywhere along its lines upon applica- tion to the nearesiticket agent. Italsoarranges its train service with special reference to the convenience and comfort of sportsnien, and its employes are constantly on the alert to make oe over their lines pleasant and comfort- able.

Bos best that can be hoped for is an improve- ment upon the unsatisfactory trade of last year. The deal market is quite uncertain, but there continues to be a fair demand for battens. The fact that dealers are willing _ to purchase from one another from the stock on hand rather than place contracts for later delivery is an evidence of the lack of confidence which exists. First and second quality pine has been changing hands in this way quite freely. The prizes realized at recent auction sales have also been satisfactory. So far as Canadian pine and spruce are concerned, the supply for the British market promises to be considerably lighter than usual, and it seems reasonable to expect that the present asking prices will be obtained later in the year if not almost immediately. STOCKS AND PRICES. The contract for i,000,000 feet of timber to be used in the proposed Ogilvie elevator at Fort William, Ont., has been awarded to the Pigeon River Lumber Company. D. G. Keyes, Secretary of the Depart- ment of the Interior, Ottawa, will receive tenders up to June 21st next fora license to cut tinber on Berth No. 1229 containing 36 square miles and Berth No. 1230, both in the province of Manitoba. Tugs of the Reid Wrecking Company, of Sarnia, arrived at Sandwich, Ont., on May 30th with the first raft of the season, for the Saginaw Lumber and Salt Com- pany. There were 1,500,000 feet in the raft. The second part of the raft with an equal amount inthe River St. Clair was expected down during the week. The tug Reid is nowin Lake Huron witha raft containing 4,000,000 feet from Spanish River, for the Sarnia mill of the Cleve- land Sarnia Sawmill Company. THE NeW BRUNSWICK LOG DRIVES. FREDERICTON, N.B., June 2, 1905.—The water in the rivers is low and some of the drives are already hung up. ‘‘There will Ill. be 50,000,000 feet of logs on the Upper St. John waters which will not be brought out this spring,” said a prominent lumberman.” Ofthe 103,750,000 feet which it is estimated was to come out this year, a considerable proportion will have to wait over for another season unless there is a wonderful rise of water at an early day, Reports received are to the effect that about 12,000,000 feet will be hung up on the Northwest Miramichi. The lumber that is tied up includes some for Ritchie, Hutchinson and Sinclair. The driving on the Southwest Branch has been most suc- cessful. Mr. Welsh’s drive has already got as far as Boiestown, while T. Lynch’s 10,000,000 has reached the islands about five miles below that place. A number of men who were on Robert Aitken’s drive on the Machias and Alle- gash streams, have returned. The drives are allin, and the Cunliffe drives, with which they amalgamated, all came out safely. Randolph & Baker have word to the effect that their drive on Chimenticook, with the exception of about 1,000 pieces, has been brought out sately. Joseph Hallett has got his drive out of Grand River. This drive consisted of about 2,000,000 feet of spruce for himself and about the same amount of cedar tor the Van Buren Lumber Company. John Kilburn, whose drives for W. H. Murray on the St. John headwaters had to be abandoned recently, has boomed the logs a short distance below English Bay, where they can easily be got out another season. Mr. Kilburn says that in his forty- four years’ experience he never saw the conditions for driving so unfavorable as he found them this year. Hilyard Bros.’ drive on the Restigouche is safely out, but a number of small drives on the brooks owned by the different job- bers are hung up. The Richard concern have got out their main drive. ey.

Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) _ St. JoHN, N.B., May 31st, 1905.—The demand for lumber of all kinds continues in a way that is very gratifying to all those who have or will have some to sell. So far as the selling is concerned all indi- cations point to a remarkably satisfactory season. Apparently the only misgiving on the part of the manufacturers of this section is in regard to the log drives. Until a few days ago it was felt that, while large quantities would hang up, yet most of the mills would have enough available to make almost an average saw- ing season. Now, with the difficulty which has arisen at Van Buren, the out- look is full of uncertainty. In the American market trade continues remarkably strong, especially for deals. Values are well maintained in this latter line ; toward higher figures. Stocks of American deals are light ; 2,000,000 s. ft. would easily cover the whole. Judging from the purchases of American logs made at earlier dates for delivery during 1905, the cut of American lumber of all kinds will be lighter this year than usual at this port. A feature of the American market just now is the slackness in demand for spruce 3 X 9; this in spite of the fact that a tre- mendous business is being done in other lines. American spruce deals are quoted at local quotations having a tendency this date, f.o.b. St. John, as follows: 3 x 10 and 12, $17.50 to $18.50; 3 x 9, $16 3 x 7 and 8, $13.50 to $14. The demand for cedar. shingles in the United States is not so snappy as it usu- ally is at this time of the year, although it is very uniform and the volume of sales fairly large. Prices are at least being maintained and in some cases the figures mentioned last month have been improved upon, but speaking generally it cannot be said there has been an advance in price. Quotations now being made on cedar shingles (non-dutiable) f.0.b. St. John are as follows: Extra, $2.95; clear, $2.45 ; 2nd clear, $1.90 ; No. 1, 95 cents. Spruce lath are in good demand at the following figures, f.o.b. St. John, for im- mediate delivery : Non-dutiable, $2.55 ; dutiable, $2.30. Shipments to the Eastern States in all lines have been very light, which cond i- tion is due to a remarkable scarcity of tonnage, which is also the case in all ports along the coast. During the last fortnight great difficulty has been exper- ienced in obtaining a vessel of any kind. The few charters that have been made were at the following figures: Long Jum- ber to Boston, $2.50 per M s. ft.; to the Sound, $2.75 ; to New York City, $3.

LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. Keenan Bros., CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. ONTARIO. Reports of the lumber market are not so uniformly favorable as last week, Many dealers, and a few manufacturers, designate the demand as a little quiet, al- though at the same time admitting that the spring trade has been very satisfactory. The volume of business booked by To- ronto dealers during the month of May was, so far as can be learned, greater than for the corresponding month in 1904, and we believe the statement will apply to other provincial points. Asked how his business compared with one year ago, a prominent dealer replied thatit was greater for both Apriland May, with many orders still on the books to be filled as soon as possible. Manufacturers’ prices are firm, in fact too firm to suit the dealers, who claim that the margin between the whole- sale buyer's price and that which can be obtained from the retailer or consumer is too small. . This is one of the reasons why the wholesalers are not altogether satisfied with the present condition of trade. Ina word, they consider that the manufacturers should make a larger reduction on blocks of stock. In white pine the better end is less active, but there is quite a heavy movement of box-and mill culls. Some sizes of common are also showing more weakness than earlier in the year. The hemlock situation has not changed, there being a good demand around $12 at the mill, while some manufacturers are asking $12.50 and $13. The standard sizes of pine lath are firm at $3 for No. 1 at the mill, but heavier offerings of 32 inch pine and hemlock have caused a slight break. The former is now offered at $1. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK, It is now estimated that 30, 000,000 feet of logs»will- bechung-up-on Miramichi river in New Brunswick. This, with the smaller quantity which is almost certain to be hung up on the St. John river, has further stiffened the spruce lumber market, . but the demand is not as great as might be expected. The deadlock between ship- pers and British importers still exists, but manufacturers are hopeful that they will be able to dispose of their output at satis- factory prices. Shipments to the United States have shown some falliag off during the past ten days. Cedar shingle prices are not as firm as two weeks ago, and _ very few manufacturers are asking more than $3.35 for Extras for Boston delivery. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA, Lumber is moving quite actively in Win- nipeg, as the building season is now in full swing and promises to be better than last year. The extensive building opera- tions in that city are shown in a very strik- ing manner by the following comparison of permits for the first five months of the past three years: Year. Permits. Cost. Cored, Marne SAL Linc 421 $2,142,650 TOG ia. Votan ta 779 3,637,350 FQOG Ss © cause 3 1180 4,799,450 It will be seen that the permits taken out this: year are more than double in value those for 1903 and over $1,000,000 greater than last year. While corresponding activity does not prevail at all western points, still building generally in the west is satisfactory and a large quantity of lumber is going into consumption. From British Columbia comes the report of more satisfactory conditions in the domestic trade but some disappointment with the export branch. UNITED STATES. Lumber trade conditions in the United States continue satisfactory. Prices in the Lake Superior district are exceptionally strong and the placing of the new cut on the market has been without effect in the direction of bringing about lower quo- tations. A quantity of No. 3 and better pine was recently sold at Duluth at $19, which is an advance of $3 over what the stock would have brought one year ago. All the large manufacturers have disposed of the bulk of their season’s cut, and one mill has sold its out put for the coming three ‘wyears, receiving therefor, we understand, _the top notch price of the season, The eastern trade is also in good shape, visits of dealers to Buffalo and Tonawanda for the purpose of buying stock being an evi- . dence of this condition. The demand is much more active than one year ago. Cleveland is receiving a considerable quantity of Canadian lumber and reports a large consumption.

VANCOUVER, B.C., June 5th, 1905.— With fairly prosperous conditions in the lumber industry as far as the home mar-— _ ket is concerned, the export trade is the braneh which is at present most unsatis- factory. This has prevailed for some time, and until there is more of an im- _ provement, very few vessels will load at the Chemainus mills. This is one of the big export mills of the coast, but only one __ or two ships have been tied up there for loads. The British ship Cedarbank has completed a cargo of 407,000 feet for the west coast of South America,and the Brit- ish ship Adderley is about ready for de- parture, her destination being Sydney, NSW. In Vancouver, the British ship : Senator will get away from the Hastings ____ mill with 1,434,768 feet for East London, = ‘South Africa, this week. The American oo = ° 1os for thirds, and £7 15s for fourths, but . barque Prussia completes her cargo of 870,000 feet for Yokohama to-day. The British ship Springbank is daily expected to arrive from San Francisco to load for the United Kingdom. There is little change in prices, either for logs or lumber, during the past couple of weeks. Demand for lumber at the mills keeps up the good figure for logs in the camp. With the better prices for lum- ber in the States, and the fact that nearly all the over-production was dumped into Canada last year, to the serious detriment of the industry here, the amount of lumber coming over from Washington is not quite so large as last year. It is sufficient, however, to make the difference between fair times and good, and did it not come in would mean greater prosperity for Brit- ish Colnmbia, where the manufacture of lumber is the chief industry. The ship- ments of the Victoria Lumber and Manu- facturing Company from its mills at Che- mainus to the Northwest and Manitoba for May will total upward of 3;000,000 feet. This firm, however, has a large contract with the-C.P.R. The intention of the C.P.R. to erect buildings on land sold to immigrants from the Old Country will have a beneficial effect on the lumber trade from this pro- vince, The railway company complains that empty cars are hauled east, and besides it will be less prone to buy the dumped lum- ber from Washington state which might be offered cheaper in Canada. The com- pany will receive instalment payments from the purchasers of the land and build- ings. The shutting down of the saw mill of the CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION IIT, Ontario-Slocan Lumber Company is an indication that conditions are not as satis- factory as they might be. Owing to the prolonged depression, operations ceased in its establishment in Slocan City. Some of the principal shareholders of this company live in Ontario. Applications to cut timber were about the same for Mayas April. In the latter month they numbered an even hundred, and in May 93. Mr. John Murray, timber ranger, re- turned from a trip to the middle interior a week ago,and reports business there fairly good. The Kamloops Lumber Company, of which Mr. George McCormick is pres- ident, has about 6,000,000 feet of logs hung up, owing to low water. Little rain usually falls in that district in the summer, so that itis hardly probable that the timber will be released this season, unless heavy rains come. An arrival Friday from the Kootenay and Crow’s Nest district reports the lum- ber industry doing well there just now. Depression was severély felt through that part, but the momentary demand for lum- ber from the Territories is helping things. have THE GLASGOW MARKET.

This last condition is due to the extreme scarcity of vessels of the type which car- ries lumber. This scarcity is due to the fact that, owing to the light profits which have been the portion of the small lumber freighter during the past two or three years, many owners have put their vessels into other lines and others have sold out entirely. Many manufacturers at this port are waiting for tonnage in this line and freight rates have accordingly advan- ced from $2.25 to Boston and $3 to New York City, long lumber, to $2.50 and $3.25. The feeling in regard to spruce deals for export to the U.K. is not of so opti- mistic a nature as was the case a month ago. Reports from reliable sources in- dicate that the briskness of demand which characterized the opening up of business in the U.K. early in the spring has not been sustained and that the consumption during the last few weeks has been rather disappointing. Inquiries are proportion- ately less in volume and the operations of buyers are marked by extreme caution. These conditions have naturally had an unfavorable effect upon local prices. A specification, containing say 50% 7’s and 8's, 35% 9’s and 15°/, 11's and up, which could not have been bought at this port a month ago for less than from $12.75 to $13 per Ms. ft., 2/3 price for fourths and ends, f.o.b. steamer St. John, could be purchased to-day for from $12.25 to $12.50. One feature of the situation in this di- rection which is very encouraging to the local dealers and which certainly points to the improbability of any further decline in prices, is the lightness of stocks of Canadian wood products in the chief dis- tributing centres of the U.K. This know- ledge, added to the fact that local hold- ings are also encouragingly light (2,000,- ooo s. ft. would easily cover all available), prevents any feeling of pessimism that would result in anxiety to sell. On the whole, while the outlook is not so bright for ‘‘ English” deals as was the case a month ago, the ideas of all those who have anything in this line to sell, in- dicate their confidence that the more favorable conditions of the earlier date will in the near future rule again, rather than that the lack of stimulus will be more pronounced.

This lumber, says the Timber News, of Liverpool, Eng., is now finding a wider market. A few consignments from time to time find their way to the London mar-= ket, where it is sought after by a few im- porters, but Germany is now interesting herself in the wood—principally in the smaller sizes for ‘‘ deckings,” for which it is particularly suitable. The better qualities are bought for this purpose, and, when well manufactured, a nicer and more satisfactory wood cannot be found. Cargoes of timber and planks are sold periodically round the Coast. Large sail- ing ships are chartered to bring forward the stuff, which can be seen occasionally unloading in the Surrey Commercial Docks. The voyage from , Vancouver generally takes five or six months, so there is plenty of timetosell beforearrival. ew oe gain orm gale a cs ~~ SESS SSS SSE SESE SSS ISSSVSSS > >x —, ; SS == i f 1) CHAS.

Rock elm is in _ demand by the agricultural machinery factories, but soft elm is very quiet indeed. Most of this is used by furniture manufac- turers and they are not buying, as they have considerable stock on hand. Besides, soft elm is not as plentiful now as five or six years ago. For instance, one firm cutting 2,000,000 feet of hardwoods this ar reports 126,000 feet of elm, or only ceeent 6 per cent. the bulk of its stock be- ‘ing birch, basswood and maple. A few years ago soft elm was about one-quarter of the total, but it is getting scarcer and “many factories are using birch to the ex- clusion of elm. Soft elm always will be a favorite wood for certain classes of trade, a but it is not as popular as it was at one . time. > Maple and birch are selling to some ex- tent, the first to implement concerns and ; ‘the second to planing mills. There is _ some demand for ash, oak and basswood also, but there is more lumber than buyers However, this seems to be a midsummer z dullness only and trade will start up strong- er than ever in the fall. Prices are firm § and values steady. BRITISH COLUMBIA NEWS. B. F. Butler, of Sandpoint, and Robert Miller, of Rathdrum, have a tie contract on the Spokane and International Ry. It will require about 400,000 ties for the main lines, from the International line to Spo- kane. The contract amounts to over $100,000. A deal was recently concluded by which New Wesminster parties purchased the sawmill at Chilliwack from the estate of Jacob Zink. The new owners are George Blakely and Peter Grant, of the T. ip Trapp & Co., and J. Rennie and Harry Pollard, late assistant millwright and saw- yer at the Brunette sawmills. Mr. Blake- ly states that the mill will be put in operation at once. At the figure given for it there is an excellent opportunity to make a good thing. Mr. Grant, with Messrs. Rennie and Pollard, will remove to Chilliwack. Mayor Coburn, of Ladysmith, recently visited the cedar limits owned by the Ladysmith Lumber Company on Howe Sound. ‘ A. P. Stevenson, who leased the mill of the Moyie Lumber Company at Moyie, B.C., and has purchased the logs in the boom, has commenced operations, There are upwards of two million feet of logs to be cut and it will take about two months to complete the work, The capacity of the mill is about 50,000 feet per day. The lumber will be loaded and sent to the Hanbury planing mill at Elko just as it comes from the saw. Provided more logs can be procured the mill will be kept run- ning until the end of the year. There are several parties already figuring on such a contract. The resumption of operations at this mill means much to Moyie. The Canadian Timber & Sawmills, Ltd., have taken a:step which will tend to their mill at Trout Lake operating at an early date. The millwasclosed down in August last when it was generally conceded it was paying for itself, and a deadlock has re- mained eversince. The principal creditor of the company was E. L. Kinman, and the matter has been in litigation ever since the shutdown. It is now stated that Mr, Kinman has accepted an offer of settle- ment made by the company and that the mill will resume operations, The formation is announced of a lumber company to be known as the Chilliwack Lumber Company, consisting wholly of New Westminster men. It is capitalized at $10,000, and will, itis understood, take over the mills at Vedder Crossing, which will be reopened shortly. The board of the company is as follows: D. B. Hall, president ; J. H.

Changes in lumber conditions are not usually important at this season of the year,and the present time is no exception. A steady trade is reported from all parts of the province, with building~material representing the bulk of the demand. The greatest activity pertains to hemlock and the lower grades of pine. Box lumber is showing strength and mill culls are firmer than some other grades. Speculative buying is not much in evidence, as prices are not likely to advance very much from current quotations. Nevertheless, if the harvest should turn out satisfactorily as now seems probable, general conditions will be unusually good and the foundation will be laid for a healthy fall demand which may bring with it higher prices. The high price and scarcity of pine has of late turned attention to hemlock, and now tamarac and balsam promise to come into increased consumption. The price in Western Ontario is $15 to $16 for mill run. Spruceis in fair demand, with a slightly weaker tendency than earlier in the season. Of the hardwoods nothing new can be said. They are lagging a little but will doubtless pick up very shortly, under the lead of birch. Lath is unchanged. No.1 spruce is quoted at $2.30, the same as No. 2 pine. A con- siderable trade is being done in cedar posts, which are quoted around 13 cents. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK, The difficulty of securing vessels to carry lumber from New Brunswick ports to the United States is responsible for mich less activity than would otherwise prevail, for the demand is good and there is plenty of lumber available for shipment. Spruce boards are generally firm in price, while deals tor the British market have no more than held their own. The quantity of the latter which will be manufactured this year will likely be considerably léss than the average. A very favorable feature was the sale of unmarked logs which took place recently at Fredericton. The prices obtained for spruce, pine and hemlock were much in advance of those realized one year ago, which is an indication that manufacturers market. Spruce logs brought $14.30 as compared with $11.10 ‘in 1904 and $13 in 1903. Pine logs brought $12.15 as against $7 in 1904 and $11.25 in 1903. The price obtained for hemlock was $4.80, an advance of $1 on last year’s figure. The low price of cedar shingles was doubtless responsible for the poor demand for cedar, which brought only $6.go, the same as one yearago. There does not appear to be any Signs of an early development in New Brunswick cedar shingles, which are, if anything, a little weaker than a week ago. Extras are now quoted at $3.25 10 $3.30 for Boston delivery. UNITED STATES. The volume of the lumber business is remarkably good for this season of the year. The healthy condition of the build- ing industry, which shows a material ex- pansion as compared with one year ago, has done a great deal towards keepirg up the lumber demand, and at the present time there are no indications of any fall- ing off in building operations. The mills have not been able to accumulate any stock, and as a brisk fall trade is antici- pated, conditions would seem to point to firmness of prices throughout the year. There may be temporary recessions in certain kinds of lumber due to local con- ditions, but the general lumber market is almost certain to be characterized by moderate strength. At Minneapolis saw- ing has been restricted by high water, but at most producing points the mills are operating to their full capacity. The eastern markets are in good shape. At Buffalo No. 2 hemlock and shiplap have been advanced 50 cents a thousand, to take effect at once. Orders are so plen- tiful that it was felt that this advance was justified even at this midsummer season. Spruce continues very strong with re- spect to frames and even random is show- ing a better tone. Some Canadian-stock is said to have been offered in New York a little below the market. The hardwood trade is suffering from summer dullness. Maple is rather heavy have confidence in the’ II ee a ee ere, ee ee a ue x, " ral t vs Jee — ue a4 i* ae O * CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION and can be bought at Michigan points at $14 and $15 for log run. Birch continues strong and active and basswood quota- tions are reported to be showing some firmness. Firsts and seconds are bring- ing $40 at Tonawanda in mixed car lots. GREAT BRITAIN. It is still difficult to dispose of lumber in Great Britain beyond that required for immediate consumption, and this is not very great on account of the dullness in the house building and furniture trades. Buyers are holding off and are seemingly prepared to pay higher prices later rather than enter the market under present con- ditions. The small stocks held at the importing centres would, ordinarily,cause some speculative buying, based on the healthy statistical position and the conse- quent probability of an advance in prices, but nothing of this kind is in evidence at the present time. Deals are in very little demand, as has been the case all season, but scantlings and small boards are moving quite freely and are showing ex- ceptional strength. While lumber prices generally have receded a little during the past few weeks, 2x5 inch scantling has hardened to the extent of 5s per standard. The market for spruce is a shade easier. In Manchester there is a very fair demand for this class of lumber and a scarcity of the best quality. This is-one of the most satisfactory markets for spruce lumber and the consumption is steadily increasing. The Timber Trades Journal, of London, England, refers to spruce as follows : As we predicted a fortnight ago would take place, lower prices have been accepted for two or three cargoes close to their port of call. Some buyers profess _ toa belief that a further drop will take ~ place, and consequently are. still holding off, This, however, is largely mere: con- jectute; and, in our Opinion, buyers would be wise to carefully consider the cheap cargoes now being brought to their notice. One feature of the spruce market at the present time is the great disparity which exists in quotations for cargoes of about equal quality and_ specification, especially in shipments from St. John. There is, in fact, a difference of opinion as to the value between various shippers from this port of fully 12s 6d per standard S & SPICER, L woopD but this is partially explained by the fact that the cheaper cargoes are invariably fairly prompt, while the dearer quota- tions are for shipments of Jater date. THE GLASGOW MARKET. Under date of June 30th Messrs. Edmis- ton & Mitchells review the Glasgow lumber market as follows: In issuing our June report we append a comparative statement of imports, de- liveries and stocks, as at joth June, for the preceding three years. In Quebec goods, as will be observed, there is a con- siderable reduction in the stock of logs and deals as compared with this time last year, and in the case of lower port pine and spruce the difference is very much more noticeable. Of other items showing diminished stocks may be mentioned hewn pitch pine, Californian redwood, teak logs, and oak planks, while only in the cases of Oregon and Kauri pine is there an increase of any importance. As regards the six months’ consumption, the principal items showing a marked increase are waney boardwood, lower port pine and spruce, sawn pitch pine, Cali- fornian redwood, and teak logs and planks, while a decrease is observable in elm logs, Quebec pine and spruce, hewn pitch pine, greenheart and American hardwoods. Taking the import as a whole, it is con- siderably less up to 30th June than last year’s over same period. The favorable position of the market is largely owing to the activity in ship-. building, as there is nothing in the house- building trade to account for an increased consumption, nor has general trade in the city and neighborhood been at all brisk, Values have, on the whole, been well maintained, and granting a continuation of moderate imports, it seems reasonable to anticipate that there will be no great change in this-respect, but at the same time it is evident that immoderate ship- ments would undoubtedly seriously affect a market which in no sense can be de- scribed as active. During the past week or two there has been some little evidence already of prices being eased somewhat to avoid storage expenses, noticeably so in the case of pine and spruce and Ameri- can hardwoods. WHITE PINE.-The import consists of 300 to 400 loads per liners via Montreal, the bulk of which has gone to the ponds. The stock of waney is 4,000 loads, being 1,000 loads less than at this date last year, and square pine is reduced about 500 loads. Business still continues quiet, and while there have been one or two fair sales dur- ing the month prospects are anything but bright. Oak.—There has been no import during the month, and stocks of Quebec oak are considerably reduced, being about 1,100 loads, as against 2,300 loads last year. ,the stock of States oak is still heavy, and the consumption has fallen off con- siderably. Prices are easier, ELM.—The stock consists of only 241 loads, being a striking contrast to the three previous years, when it averaged 2/3,000 loads at this date. The demand is good and new arrivals will command fair prices. QUEBEC BrircH.—The import so far this year is about seven times that of last year and more than double the quantity imported in 1903. During the first few months of the year prices were very firm, but as shipment succeeded shipment they gradually weakened and are now con- siderably easier than they were even a month ago. Buyers are now pretty well supplied and are disinclined to increase their stock unless they can do so at their own prices. A nice shipment of birch planks came to hand this month and was disposed of ‘‘ ex quay.” Lower Port Birch.—Occasional sales are reported of retail lots, and prices are easier than they were.

The major portion of the white pine is being cut into sidings and stocks this season; the manufacturers not having sufficient in- ducement to put the better end oftheir logs into deals. The white pine in this market is generally put up into less grades than in the western markets : with a few ex- ceptions, it is graded good sidings, No. 2 cuts, shipping cull sidIngs and _ strips, some of the mills putting up a percentage of mill run stocks. The demand for shingles and lath is very brisk at the present moment, Ameri- can buyers purchasing largely. Prices have been well maintained. UNMARKED LOGS BRING GOOD PRICES.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION ” if i July 12, 1905 NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER. (Correspondence of THE CANADA LUMBERMAN.) St. Joun, N.B., July 6, 1905.-—Since my letter of June 15th, lumber business in this direction has been marked by no partic- ular activity, although trade has been fairly brisk. Shipments to the United States have been very light owing to the continued remarkable absence of available natural consequence shipping. As a stocks of all wood goods manufactured for this market are increasing rapidly and the owners thereof find themselves in an awk- ward and dilemma, with quantities of the goods on the wharves, the United States markets in a satis- factory condition in almost all lines and with no means of shipping. unprofitable ‘American’ deals are somewhat plenti- ful at this port for this season of the year; 2,500,000 ft. would cover the amount fully. Prices in this line are well maintained and show every indication of firmness. For delivery during the next.three months, no quotation on ‘‘American’” inch spruce deals could be obtained at this date lower than: 10’s and 12's, $17.50 to $18; 9's, $16; Narrows, $13.50 to $13.75 f.o.b.

Spruce lath also are, scarcity of tonnage mentioned above, rather more plentiful than the prices and conditions of the market would seem to in- At this date there are from 4,- owing to the dicate. 500,000 to 5,000,000 upon the different wharves ready to be shipped. The increase in freight rates to U.S. has had the usual effect upon local prices in this line and quotations are being made on lath at $2.35 for non-dutiable and $2.10 for dutiable, f.o.b. schooner St. John. The demand for New Brunswick cedar shingles in the United States is steady and prices are very uniform. Shipments from this port have been very light during the last two months. Stocks are consequent- ly somewhat heavy and would total up to 4,500,000 of all grades, Local prices for non-dutiable are quoted at this date, f.o.b. schr. St. John, as follows: Extras $2.85; clears $2.35; 2nd clears $1.85; No. 1's 90. The demand for one inch merchantable spruce boards, while not remarkably brisk, are steady and the indications are that prices will at least hold their own for some time to come. Like all other lines which are marketed in the United States, boards are plentiful; 2,500,000 would probably be very near the available stock. Local prices are, for non-dutiable, f.o.b. schr. St. John $12.50, and for dutiable $10.50. The lowest freight rates obtainable on long lumber to New York are $3.75 and to Boston $3.00, with 10 probability of a de- crease in the mmediate future.

The past week has shown a continua- tion of the good business which has been in evidence all season and which has as its foundation the extensive building operations throughout practically the entire province. The extent of house building in Toronto is little less than re- markable, and one has but to visit the outlying residential districts to diately come to the conclusion that, not- withstanding the growing use of brick and concrete and such like materials, a vast quantity of lumber is still consumed by the building trade. This demand has kept the retail market firm, even at this midsummer period, while manufacturers have all along shown the utmost confi- dence in the range of prices which has ruled and which has not varied to any ex- tent for some months. Probably good sidings are the slowest grade in white pine, but in no grade are heavy stocks held and there is consequently very little pressure to sell. Mill culls have been imme- Poa & deel iy Ai yo Il CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION sold as high as $13, and box at $16 atthe mill, prices which show, better than any- thing else, the strong undertone of the pine trade. It is understood that a con- siderable number of logs have been hung up in the northern rivers, which will cur- tail what under the most favorable cir- cumstances would have been but a light production of lumber. As previously re- ported, hardwoods area little quiet, but fall orders are expected t> increase the activity in the very near future. There has been no change in conditions to affect prices, which are steady, with the manu- facturers talking in favor of an advance, claiming that logs cost too much to sell lumber at present prices. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. The condition of the export trade from Quebec and New Brunswick is very far from being satisfactory, owing to thelack of demand in Great Britain. The ship- ments that have already gone forward have been more than sufficient and have had a weakening effect on prices. The only safe policy for Canadian shippers to pursue is to restrict shipments to the greatest possible extent, thus allowing the British market to recover. It is fortunate for shippers that production this year was curtailed to a considerable extent so that they will not have to carry over as heavy stocks as if the production had been normal. There is no doubt that shippers who are able to hold their stock for per- haps some length of time will ultimately receive much more satisfactory values than are obtainable at present. It is to be hoped that the majority of shippers will view the matter in this light and find themselves in a position to hold on to their stocks. ~MANITOBA..AND -BRITISH -COLUMBIA, - - The mills in the Rainy River district as well as the mountain hills in British Col- umbia are experiencing an active demand for their prodact throughout the North- . West. Building activity in Winnipeg and in the principal towns of Manitoba and the Territories continues, and if the present prospect of an abundant harvest should be realized, a steady de- mand for all kinds of lumber may certainly be looked for and may be expected to continue throughout the coming year. Rumors are abroad that an understanding has been reached by nearly all the lumber manufacturers in the mountain district under which the product of their mills will be disposed of through a selling agency, as is now done by the shingle manufac- turers on the Coast. The truth of this rumor has not been verified. Whether or not such an arrangement has been made it seems quite certain that with a good harvest will come a steady demand for lumber at fair prices. UNITED STATES. The United States market appears on the whole to be in a satisfactory condition for this season of the year. The returns show an increased importation of Can- adian timber products, the total receipts for the month of May being 88,868,000 feet as compared with 52,626,000 feet in the corresponding month of 1904. For the eleven months ending with May the total receipts were in excess of 1904, but con- siderably under those of the correspond- ing period of 1903. Prices this year are firmer, averaging for May $15.59 as against $14.55 for May, 1904, and $25.11 for the eleven months ending with May, 1904. The demand for spruce for building purposes is reported to be broadening, and timber of this class grown in West Vir- ginia is finding its way to the New York and Pennsylvania markets. rainfall has retarded somewhat the trade in hardwoods, especially in red and white oak, east of the Rocky Mountains. The stocks at the furniture factories are reported to be light and a better fall trade is anticipated. The receipts of lumber at Tonawanda during the present month have been light as compated with June. Shipments from this~point’ over the Erie’ canal during the first week in July showed a decrease of over a million feet com- pared with the previous week. An addition of 50c. a thousand has been made to the price of hemlock at Buffalo, and the trade - in this material is in a very satisfactory condition. The shingle trade at* eastern points is fair. A report comes from Seattle that the secretary of the Washington Shingle Manufacturers’ Association wil!

P , : ° ; ah 1 : July 19,1905 SSS ene shortly outline a plan for controlling the timber market and regulating prices. GREAT BRITAIN, There is very little encouragement to be got from a study of the conditions prevail- ing inthe British timber market at the present time. From nearly all the leading ports comes the statement that the de- mand is very inactive and shipments are in excess of the requirements ofthe market. Buying from hand to mouth seems to be the rule at present and there is not much foundation on which to build the hope for a more Satisfactory condition in the near future. Better prices are being paid by continental buyers than are being offered by buyers in Great Britain and ifthe con- tinental demand should continue and de- velop it would be reasonable to expect that prices in Great Britain would advance to somewhere near continental figures. There is said tobe quite a lively demand in Holland and Germany for whitewood and also in a lesser degree on the part of English firms especially in Bristol Channel ports. The demand for redwood has also improved somewhat though not sufficiently to affect prices. - THE BRITISH MARKET. Messrs. Farnworth and Jardine’s Cir- cular dated the 1stinst., contains the fol- lowing :— The arrivals from British North America during the past month have been 32,583 tons register, against 29,442 tons register during the corresponding month last year, and the aggregate tonnage to this date from all places during the years 1903, 1904, and 1905 has been 192,343,189,408, and 213,418 tons respectively. The business of the past month has not been of a satisfactory charactor. Imports on the whole have been large, and the de- liveries fair, but some of the leading articles, notably spruce deals, showed a marked decline in value. Tye stocks generally are ample.

VANCOUVER, B.C., July roth, 1905.— Conditions in the lumber manufacturing part of the industry are good, in shingles, poor, and in logging getting gradually worse. Logging has been in good shape right up to two weeks ago, but the de- mand resulted in a large number of opera- tors going into the woods, and now logs are going a-begging for buyers.. It’s the old story of geod demand causing a glut in the market. In the spring there were few logs to be had, prices were very firm, and mills established camps and independent ‘loggers started in. Up to, say, about two weeks ago the market was still good, and prices were better than across the line. Now quotations have dropped to from $5 to $7 per thousand feet, and buyers are few. It will be the usual result of many of the independent loggers, who have no money until they dispose of their booms, going ‘ broke” again, for there will be no material betterment of conditions in the logging branch of the industry before next spring. Across the line prices rule from $5 to $9, and since they are better there, more logs will be exported during the remainder of the summer. There is practically no demand for the cedar log. Shingles are cut from bolts, There has been talk already of shingle manufacturers shutting down next winter, but no definite action has been taken. It was acknowledged, though, by a promin- ent manufacturer, who was spoken to about the matter, that a better move could not be made, as conditions were very discouraging. The Vancouver Board of Trade took action the other night to once more bring to the attention of the Government the fact that British Columbia wants a duty onlumber. At the recent session of the Legislature, a tax was imposed on com- mercial travellers doing business in the Province, and there is talk of it being dis- allowed, or the Legislature here being asked to withdraw it. The Board of Trade passed a resolution that if the Government was asked it should refuse until such times as the Federal Parliament gave some con- _ sideration to the imposition of a duty on imported lumber. British Columbia shares very little in inter-provincial trade—she does all the buying and very little of the selling—and while merchants and business men do not regard the commercial tax a wise one, they think it will serve a good purpose. The action of the manufacturers of lumber in the interior in establishing sell- ing agencies in the North-West is the first definite indication of the evolution gradually setting in. One feature which will bring this along more rapidly is the migrating to British Columbia of such large lumbermen as S. H. Bowman, who took over the interests of the Empire Lumber Company,and Mr.?S.A. Munday, who has built a large mill just west of Revelstoke. These men have been ac- customed in the districts in the States in which they were operating to also conduct their own yards in the consuming districts, doing away with the retailer. A few of the Crow’s Nest mills started along this line in a small way early this season, and another year will see a definite policy adopted by the manufacturers. The fact that the revenue from timber sources during ‘the last fiscal year has exceeded by $150,000 the Government’s estimate does not indicate that great prosperity attends the lumber industry. True, it is fairly good this year, but large tracts of timber are being taken up by local men and Americans who anticipate an appreciable increase in values during the next few years. From Howe Sound to the Skeena River cruisers have been busy all spring and summer, and vast quantities of limits have been applied for. That there will be a large increase in the value of timber during the next five or six years LB.

OWBN SOUND, ONT VI. CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION July 19, 1995 MANITOBA TRADE CONDITIONS. Lumber dealers in Winnipeg report that the United States market being so much better this season, there is not so much occasion for dumping into Canada as last year. The home markets of the Western States use about nine-tenths of the lumber produced, so when the home prices are better, as is the case this year, the manu- facturers let the other tenth lie rather than compete with present conditions on this side of the line. The Sprague Lumber Company menced running their big mills the first week of this month for the summer. This firm havea large force of men now working on day shift, and in the course of a couple of weeks will also put on night shifts, keep- ing their mills running almost continually. They have lately received a large raft of logs by river and are receiving large ship- com- ments of pine and cedar by rail. Messrs. J. D. McArthur & Company state that their mills at Lac du Bonnet, Manitoba, are running full capacity, and they are handling a very large trade at present. They state that the market is much better. The Rainy River Lumber Company re_ port that their mills at Rainy River, Ontario, are sawing about half a million feet per day, and that they are shipping from fifteen to eighteen cars per day. They are running their mills day and night in order to keep up with the trade. The Rat Portage Lumber Company inform us that their mills at Kenora are running day and night. B. C. shingles are meeting with a good demand of $2.50 for No. t car lots in Win- nipeg. D.B. McDonell, dealer in timber limits, Winnipeg, Man.,says: ‘With the immense immigralion to Canada and the advent of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, a market of unlimited possibilities is opening up, but the material to supply the demand is fast becoming scarce. The far seeing are realizing that the present limits and prices will soon be a thing of the past and consequently present purchasers have a good asset in the future. This is borne out by the fact that in 1881 the average price per square mile of limits put up by the Ontario Government was $532 as against $4,462 in 1904, or an increase of $3,930 per square mile, but in spite of this and the increased price in lumber, we find the sales for Manitoba and the North-West have increased by leaps and bounds, and in place of 50 million feet in 1897, the fiscal year ending June 3oth, 1904, showed sales amounting to between 11 and 12 hundred million feet, 332 million of which was consumed in Manitoba. Mr. McDonell is interested in British Columbia and North-West timber limits. TIMBER -LIMIT TRANSACTIONS. From a reliable source comes the report that the Hull Lumber Company have sold a limit, consisting of about 162 sq. miles on the Kippewa river, to the Colonial Lumber Company, of Pembroke, and that they also sold a small block of 25 sq. miles to Frank Martaugh; rumored price being $200,000 and $25,000.

The volume of business being done is however, fully up to the average at this season, and spring prices are being well maintained. The general tone of the market is firm, and while there is little ground to expect that prices will advance, there is every indication that the present standard wil] bs maintained. The advances which have just gone into effect in the western states, indicate how strong is the demand across the line where much of our lumber is marketed. This condition should strength- en the home market. The plentiful supply of rain in southern and middle Ontario has made possible the securing of practically the entire cut of logs within this territory, but worth of the divide a Sey OS -. ne P Tia # al be tinal II CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION very little rain has fallen, and much tim- ber may be hung up. All the drives are not yet in, so that the situation in this regard cannot at present be definitely stited, What record building season and abundant crops, the outlook fo: a brisk fall trade is most encourag- ing. with a QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. Shipments of deals from New Brunswick to Great Britain have been on a larger scale than last year, which in view of the weakness of the British market, would seem not to have been the course best calculated to secure best results to ship- pers. During the week ended July 15 the export of deals etc. from St. John alone to ports in the United Kingdom aggre- gated 7,418,000 feet. Quebec shippers have curtailed their shipments consider- ably. Had they not done so the market might have been in even worse condition. A leading lumber operator states that the price of deals in England to-day is about one pound per standard less than it was a year ago, but expressed the hope that as the market is not greatly overstocked, and the supply on this side smaller than usual, better prices may be realized in the fall. Fortunately the United States, South American and South African mar- kets are said to be in a healthy condi- tion. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. The rumor said to have come from the United States Capital is again current that it isthe purpose of the Government at Washington to remove the import duty on Canadian lumber. The fact that many lumbermen from the United States have recently invested in limits in British Columbia gives color to the report, which if true, would certainly result in benefit to the timber industry of the province. The selling pool formed by about thirty of the Mountain Mills seems to have been ar- ranged and a manager capable of success- _ fully conducting the same is now being looked for. It is said to be the intention of the manufacturers to establish and sell through agencies of their own and cut out the retailer. B.C. Shingles are reported to be selling freely in Eastern Canada.

KILN-DRIED BIRGH FLOORING KNIGHT BROTHERS CoO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont, Prices remained unchanged. The demand for lumber continues good and prices are well maintained. UNITED STATES, The most notable event affecting the United States market during the past week has been the advance in prices de- cided upon by the price list committee of the Mississippi Valley Lumbermea’s As- sociation and by the Southern Lumber Minufacturers’ Association at its semi- annual meeting. The committee of the former association recommended an ad- vance of $1 per thousand for dimension, plank and timbers, an advance of 50 cents per thousand on No. 1 and 2 boards, and 12 inch No. 3 boards and products, also on 6 inch No. 2 and No. 3 fencing, an ad- vance of $1 per thousand on No. 1 fencing and Norway inch finish ; an advance of $2 on Norway inch finish selected lengths, and thick ship common. The Southern Association recommended an advance of $1 per thousand on heart face edge grain- ed and A and B flat grain flooring, also on finishing; an advance of $1.50 on tim- bers; $2 on drop siding; 50 cents on com- mon boards, selects and common flooring and shiplap. Crop conditions and the un- usual activity in building enterprise were the chief factors in the decision of these associations to advance prices. The in- creasing value of stumpage was also re- ferred to as affecting the decision. The returns of building operations - for the principal cities of the United States show an increase of 50 per cent. over the same period of last year. This in itself is sufficient to keep the market firm. The demand for hardwood is less strong than for pine but is expected to im- prove. : GREAT BRITAIN. General trade conditions in Great Britain are reported to be improving, due in some measure tolarge orders recently placed with British manufacturers for goods for the Japanese market. The hope is ex- pressed that this general improvement in trade may affect favorably the condition of the timber market and that in the autumn prices are likely to advance at least to a moderate extent. So far curtailment of shipments has not sufficed to strengthen ‘against 402,000 pieces in prices. That Canadian shipments have been largely curtailed is shown by tne following figures showing the shipments from the St. Lawrence this year as com- pared with 1904: Pine deals, 79,000 pieces 1904; spruce deals 302,000 against 400,000 in 1904; New Brunswick, pine deals none against 54,000 pes. in 1904. The shipments of spruce deals from New Brunswick has, however, i1creased this year to 342,000 pes. against 257,000 pieces last year. Ship- ments of birch planks from New Brunswick have also increased to 115,000 pieces against 62,000 pieces in 1904. British importers are complaining that some of the stock shipped from New Brunswick this ' year was imperfectly manufactured. The heavy dock charges especially in London, are bringing about a change in the method of buying, many of the purchases being now made ex-ship and only light stocks being carried in the yards. Deals are sell- ing at £7 tos. to£7 15s. for best quality but there are few large contracts being placed. 2x4¥% inch and 2x5 inch redwood scantlings are in demand. Battens and boards 7 inches wide are selling at £7; 6 inches wide, from £6 5s. to £6 1os.; 5inch and 4% inch, £6 to £6 5s. EXPORT OF SHINGLES. A movement is on foot to organize a company to handle the exportation of British Columbia shingles to the United States similar to the two companies now handling the Canadian consumption. The present prices are altogether too low and the object of the company is to maintain a better and more reasonable price. From the present prices low as they are, must be deducted a duty of 30 cents per M. _Possibly one or both of the companies ‘now handling the Canadian end will also take over the American trade. W. C.

JuLy 15th, 1905.—The dition of the lumber markets of the ~ United Kingdom is, just now, the most vi- ‘tal feature of the situation as far as local _lumbermen are concerned. The outlook in this direction has not shown an improve- ment in any way since last writing and the depression mentioned at that time is still predominant and if anything rather- more nounced. The demand is light and de all round (in spite of the briskness optimism of the early spring) seems have fallen away until it is a matter of ubt if the total volume of sales fer this son will even equal that of last year. is usual with a falling market, sales of y important quantitjes are rare and ex- sme caution marks the operations of ers. Shipments during the past month “were somewhat below the average for this: season of the year. The harbour at this port is somewhat bare at present and it is probable that the condition of the : Grnskiet will result in a further curtailment of the volume of shipments during the balance of the summer. Stocks of deals _ for export to the United Kingdom, while ‘not extensive (3,500,000 square feet would ‘cover the quantity) are increasing and unless the situation improves, it is al- will suffer considerable inconvenience from is source before many weeks havepassed. é Local prices on English deals have _ naturally reached a much lower level. To day, with’ no apparent eagerness on the part of buyers, English deals can be pur- chased f. 0. b. steamer at this port, for K ST.

Freight rates tothe United Kingdom _ have been somewhat higher during the past month. At present writing 37s. 6d. has been offered. A feature during the last fortnight has been a decided stiffening in the price of spruce lath. While it is rumoured that something like 50 per cent. per thousand advance over the prices of the last month has been paid, it would not be safe to say that prices in this line generally have advanced more that from 15 per cent. to 25 per cent. per thousand all round.

A few years ago, with the advent of wire hoops, there was, naturally, much discussion as to the ultimate eftect of wire hoops on the market for wood hoops. The consumption of wire hoops has in- the last three years and many manufacturers who once condemned the wire hoop as being im- practical are now using them and obtain- ing excellent results. \ The increased use of this commodity does not seem to have had any adverse effect on the wood hoop market, and evi- dently has had its beneficial effects on the cooperage markets as a whole, because it has been possible to produce a barrel en- tirely satistactory to the trade, which cost less than an all-wood-hoop barrel, thereby enabling manufacturers to continue using wooden packages in many cases where they might have been driven to something creased enormously in ing, 116,868 ft. spruce plank, 240,000 ff else. —Packages.

Until this order went into effect, _ loose lumber was accepted for shipment to -alllake ports. However this trade is be- f coming so extensive that the lake steam- _ hip companies refuse to accept the lum- _ ber from the railroads except in bundles. = There is reported to be somewhat im- proved demand for tonnage from the St. _ Lawrence ports as well as a distinct ad- vance in rates, with moderate inquiry for September loading. The following fix- “tures have taken place: “ Indianapolis,” Bathurst to W.B., 37s. 6d., July/August ; “ Lewisport,” Miramichi to W.B.E.I., gos. 6d., August; ‘‘ Aarstein,” Miramichi “to W.B.E.I., .41s. 3d., July/August ; “Therese,” St. John, N.B., to W.B., July p.t.; ‘* Nostra Madre,” St. Margaret's ‘Bay to Bristol Channel, 38s., (sailer) ; ~*©Dora,” Quebec to Limerick, 37s. 6d., ‘¢ Bertha,” St. Lawrence to Ade- Melbourne or Sydney, 555s., - 48s. 2 fetied): TRADE WITH MEXICO. The Canadian and Mexican govern- ments, desiring to encourage trade be- tween their respective countries, have sub- sidized certain of the steamers owned by Messrs. Elder Dempster & Co., of Liver- pool and Montreal, to make amonthly trip, commencing on the 2oth inst., between Montreal, Charlottetown, Halifax, Nassau, Havana, Progreso, Vera Cruz, Tampico and Coatzacoalcos. On the return trip no freight but only passengers will be carried from Cuba to Canada, the Mexican govern- ment not being disposed to contribute money towards building up a trade between Cuba and Canada. The service will com- mence with ten-knot steamers of moderate carrying capacity. Theestablishment of the Canadian-Mexican line is due in no small degree to the visit paid to Mexico last year by Sir William Mulock, Pust- master-General of Canada, resulting in the formation in Mexico City of the Canadian Commercial Club. It is expec- ted that among the passengers on the first trip will be the representatives of Canadian firms, empowered to open up agencies. Lumber to the value of $6,000,000 was imported into Egypt last year. Canadian exporters should look into this trade. CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION Vil. The National Association of Box Manu- facturers of the United States will meet in Annual Convention at Niagara Falls on August 16th, 17th and 18th. Christie & Co., wholesale lumber dealers of Winnipeg, have purchased all the stock on hand and the season’s cut of the Fernie Lumber Company, amounting in all to nearly 4,000,000 feet. The price is not made public, but it is understood that it was a good one. troducing redwood and other Coast woods. He has put in a stock and finds what has been told him to betrue. He introduces it to his trade. They like it. He discards some of his old standby stuftin the yard to place the Pacific Coast product before his clientele. Then what happens? Orders are too large and pressing upon the Coast. Eastern orders are shelved and held if pos- sible and convenient to the mills receiving them. The Eastern handler cannot fill the orders his energy has created. He falls back upon the timber heis certain to receive and the Pacific Coast woods receive a black eye.—Wood and Iron. The Dominion Parliament has closed its budget debate and there is no duty fixed for American lumber. Mr. Gallagher, the Kootenay member, urged the government to place a duty on lumber. This was re- fused. A commission was promised to consider the question. Messrs. H. L. Jenkins and J, C. Busch, Washington lumbermen, have purchased Canada has a month-old law that re- quires the payment of a three-hundred- dollar license tee for salesmen representing foreign manufacturers in the Dominion. It looks as though the lumber manufac- turers the other side of the line, as well as wholesalers of all kinds of commodities, were back ofthe proposition. It certainly is notto the advantage of the people of the Dominion to offer that kind of en- couragement to competition from outside, though it is in line with the apparently growing opposition to the policy of opening the markets ot Canada to the United States while we maintain a tariff on everything that comes from Canada, and refuse to make concessions by means of reciprocity treaty.—Mississippi Valley Lumberman. between 75,000,000 and 100,000,000 feet of timber on Burrard Inlet, about eight miles from Vancouver. It is the intention to export the timber, which is excellent fir, to their mill at Blaine. They have also secured timber on Vancouver Island, which is mostly cedar. There were 2,300 acres in the latter purchase and $15 an acre is said to have been paid.

ONTARIO. 3 It might be expected that at this season _of the year the reports concerning the lumber market would indicate a quiet trade, and to some extent this is the’ case, but itis also very noticeable that the conditions, apart from immediate demand, are considered very satisfactory. The large domestic consumption of pine and hemlock is keeping up remarkably well, assisted, of course, by the extensive build- ing operations. ‘‘Business has never been better,” was the reply of a manufacturer to a question as to lumber conditions. Considering the smaller production of lumber on the Georgian Bay this season, stocks at the close of the sawing season are not likely to be very large. The Ottawa valley mills will have ‘plénty of logs for a full season, but no great accumu- lation of lumber is looked for, and at the present time there is no indication of prices weakening to any extent. There is quite a strong market for lath, which are looked upon as good property. Prices have broken very little since ‘the spring, and the prevailing price for No, 1 pine at the mill is about $3. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK, In Montreal the demand for lumber con- tinues to be curtailed by the strike of carpenters. It was expected that this would be terminated last week, but the master builders have refused to accept the offer of another conference with the:men. Nevertheless, considerable building is in progress and there is quite an active movement of lumber. There is not much activity in lumber circles in the Maritime Provinces and it is now quite certain that of the volume of business with Great Britain will be much below the average. Nova Scotia manufacturers are doing a good trade with South America and the West Indies and prices are firm. The quantity of lumber at the millsis fully 30 per cent. less than at the same time in 1904. Sales of deals are being made at $13 for a specification of 60 per cent. 7’s and 8's and 40 per cent. 9's and11’s. There has been no recovery in the New Brunswick cedar shingle market and the majority of sales are now being made around $3.30 for Ex- tras on Boston rate of freight. UNITED STATES, The lumber demand is perhaps more un- even than at any previous times this year. The situation in respect to southern pine and white pine continues strong and the demand is practically equal to the supply. At Ashland, Wis., 85 per cent. of the season's cut of white pine has been sold and it is estimated that at the end of the season no surplus stock of any account will be left at the producing points. Cer- tain sizes of low grades are reported to be almost out of the market at Buffalo and Tonawanda. Hardwoods represent the Opposite condition, the demand being quiet and the supply of stock more plentiful not- withstanding that many of the mills have, owing to wet weather, been producing much less than the usual quantity. Plain oak is receiving the greatest call. Bass- wood and maple are weak, while birch is strong. Log run maple has been selling in the Saginaw Valley at a considerable reduction from the high point reached earlier in the year. There is quite an active market for spruce and most of the mills have plenty of orders. It is not improbable that prices will be marked up a little in the near future. ’ The hemlock market also gives indications of strength. ‘Short lengths are quoted in the Saginaw Valley at $13, 16 foot at $14, and 18 foot at $15.50. Boards are worth $14. Lath are showing increased strength. The price list committee of the Mississipp; Valley Lumbermen’s Association have de- cided on an advance of 25 cents a thousand in all grades. This was agreed to by cor- respondence after the meeting on July 13, WooD BRITISH COLW KNIGHT BROTHERS Co, LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont, KI it being shown that stocks on hand are extremely light. The tone of the shingle market is also more hopefuland it is be- lieved that any change in prices will be in the direction of an advance. The action of the red cedar mills in curtailing pro- duction has had a beneficial effect. GREAT BRITAIN, The deadlock between shippers and im- porters still exists. The former are hold- ing to their prices, while the latter are endeavoring to bring about a general re- duction of about five shillings per stand- ard, at which price it is belieyed many importers are prepared to operate. If they should not, be successful in further breaking the market within the next week or two, it is probable they will come to the conclusion that prices have about reached bottom and will then place contracts for stock for autumndelivery. As the quantity of lumber contracted for is very small, any indication of an advance in prices might cause considerable anxiety among mer- chants who have allowed their stocks to become almost exhausted in the hope of buying to better advantage later in the season. Deal sizes are still in very little demand except in the better qualities, There has been no particular change in the pine situation, the high prices asked being against business. The reports con- cerning spruce are by no means uniform, but it is thought that a good foundation is being laid for an advance in the fall, It is reported that one or two small cargoes have changed hands at £7 5s c.i.f. Liver- pool, with a specification of about 60 per cent, of narrows and shortaverage. The lowest sale of the season was a large car- goat £7 cif. STOCKS AND PRICES. It is reported that 300,000 logs are hung up in the Spanish river. Louis H. St. Laurent, of Sutton, Que., is making heavy shipments of hardwood timber to Glasgow, Scotland. The cut of deals by the Bay Shore Lumber Company, Salmon River, N. B., this season will be about 3,000,000 feet. Rafting operations on the South-west Mirimachi river, in New Brunswick, have CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION been finished. The quantity of logsis not more than half of last season’s total, which : was 60,000,000 feet, Mershon, Schuette, Parker & Company, of Saginaw, Mich., have acquired about 15,000,000 feet of lumber in the Georgian Bay district which will be shipped to their Saginaw and Bay City yards. A statement compiled by the Wisconsin Valley Lumbermen’s Association shows that shipments for six months of this year aggregated 224,847,000 feet, as against 231,663,000 feet during the first six months of 1904, The Department of Indian Affairs, Ot- tawa, will receive tenders up to Friday, September ist, for the spruce timber of 9 inches and over in diameter at the stump on the Patcheena Indian Reserve in British Columbia. Information may be obtained upon application to the Indian Superintendent at Victoria, B.C. E. B. Lloyd, Crown Timber Agent at New Liskeard, Ont., reports that the cut “of logs in that district last winter was smaller than the previous year and that great difficulty was experienced in getting them out owing to low water. In addition to the saw logs taken out, 396,601 ties were manufactured, valued at $64,611.30. The Upper Ottawa Improvement Com- pany will bring 3,000,000 logs down the river this summer, which is a larger num- ber than has been brought down for some years. The reason for this is that the quantity will include 400,000 logs which were cut in the winter of 1903-4 and have since been held in the booms at Des Joa- chims. The following cargoes of lumber recent- ly reached the Saginaw river: 477,092 feet from Thessalon, Ont., consigned to E. B. Foss & Company; 196,644 feet from Cutler, Ont., consigned to F. G.

On the whole, conditions are not nearly as bad as last year at this time, with the exception, perhaps, of the shin- gle branch of the industry. Prices, too, have been maintained, while during the late summer and fall of 1904 cutting of prices was going on. What has been sold has brought a fair figure. There is no appreciable betterment in the logging industry. As stated two weeks ago, the extensive operations of large numbers of camps are resulting in over-production. With the brisk business of the spring still continuing there would be none too much demand for logs, but with the falling off in trade many booms will go hunting for buyers. There is not a great deal of talk on the coast concerning the pool of the Moun- tain lumber manufacturers which was effected at Calgary a short time ago. That did not come as a surprise to those who have been watching conditions in the rapidly developing Territories, and before a very great length of time has elapsed the western manufacturers will have their own yards in the consuming districts. This will be hastened by the advent into British Columbia of American lumbermen, who have successfully carried on business by such methods for a number of years. The talk emanating from American sources of the probability of the United States Government withdrawing the duty on lumber entering that country is re- garded by prominent lumbermen here as merely a blind. If the duty is withdrawn, it will be with the idea of stopping if pos- sible the imposition of a similar duty by Exceptionally good Birch and Hemlock Lumber f.o.b. car South River Station.

Farwell & Son| FOR SALE Canada, and a repetition of the tactics of 1896 are looked for. Even with the duty off, the American lumbermen would still have the best of the bargain, as all the raw material used by Canadian manufac- turers is very heavily taxed, and the cost of production is, accordingly, much higher in comparison. LOG QUOTATIONS ADVANCE. The Lumber Review States that fir logs have advanced trom fifty cents to one dollar per thousand. One year ago at this time there was a surplus of 155,000,- 000 ft. in the watersofwestern Washington, but at this time there is not 20,000,000 above the regular demand. Logs have never been known to be so scarce on Pu- get Sound at this time ofthe year. There are but very few small loggers operating and the larger concerns represented in the Washington Logging and Brokerage Com- pany are working with a decreased force. The advance in fir logs became operative on July 1. No. two went from $4.50 to $s, merchantable from $6.50 to $7, floor- ing from $8 to $8.50, and long dimension material jumped up $1.

CANADA LWMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION August 2, 1905 BRITISH COLUMBIA TIMBER IN DEMAND. Ameriean capitalists closetothe manage- ment of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway are reported to be seeking to acquire ex- tensive timber lands on Moresby Island, the southerly island of the Queen Char- lotte group, in British Columbia: Within the next thirry days application will be made to the Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works for permission to cut the tim- ber on 107 square miles of land on Mores- by Island. For each square mile so taken up the Government fee will be $140 per annum. The identity of the capitalists behind the applicants for this land is unknown beyond the fact that they are Americans. It is supposed in some quarters that the McGoldrick interests of Ohio may be the background applicants, but this is only surmise, and is largely based on the fact that the Ohio people have recently ac- quired hundreds of square miles of timber lands from the coast right through to Pine River Pass along the route tributary to the Grand Trunk Pacific line. An extensive acreage of timber limits on Stuart and Fraser Lakes has been taken up by a number of Vancouver- ites. These lakes are not far from Fort George, and presuming that the Grand Trunk Pacific enters the province through the Pine River Pass, it will have to swing along toward the sea coast by the Nechaco, Endaco and Bulkley Rivers, and so the timber bordering on Stuart and Fraser Lakes and through all the country in that vicinity will be tributary to the new line. The Vancouverites who are paving the way to the ownership of the timber lands along the proposed transcontinental route are Messrs. Robert Kelly, F. C: Wade, K.C., G. I. Wilson and J. Y. Rochester.

Contrary to anticipation, says the Hard- wood Record of Chicago, the general ' hardwood lumber demand from one end of _ the country to the other has exhibited a _ | marked improvement during the last two __weeks—an improved condition in inquiry _ and actual ordering forward of stock that comes fully a month earlier than was ex- ___ pected even by the optimistic. 34 _ In the South weather conditions still re- main unfavorable for the getting out of _ oak and many other varieties of hard- __ woods, and it is practically certain that oak values, especially in plain wood, will _ outstrip the highest prices paid early in _ the spring. In Michigan and Wisconsin black ash has become so scarce as tobe almost out of the market. Maple, while in less aggregate supply _ than a year ago, is moving rather slowly. __ The flooring makers have consumed the big end of the inch, but there seems to be ‘a little overstock of thick lumber.

Good birch, especially that showing a fair proportion of red, is in strong demand generally in Michigan, while some of the Wisconsin dealers report it dragging. Grey elm, an exceptionally good wood, for some strange reason is not meeting the expectation of producers in volume of de- mand. Some dealers claim that the price was boosted too high early in the year and that many consumers have substituted gum and other woods in its place. The good end of poplar is still doing first rate, while the common and coarse end is dragging more or less. There seems to be an increased demand for quarter sawed oak, and apparently there has been less of this sawing produc- ed than last year, which would augur a prospect for increased values. Plain oak, however, stillhasthe call in the market,and buyers generally are recognizing that buy- ing plain wood at any reasonable, price constitutes a good purchase. C ANADIAN LUMBER SHIPMENTS.

Li ONTARIO. ‘ The lumber demand is confined almost _ exclusively to immediate requirements, | but in pine especially this represents a large volume of business. Building ma- terial has been and is in excellent de- mand, and dealers are finding difficulty in securing sufficient dry stock.’ Much of the new cut is not yet in shipping con- dition. A Western Ontario manufacturer who takes a very optimistic view of the outlook, reports a heavy business in special bills which are shipped direct from the saw, such as bridge and car tim- bers, white pine decking and light and © . heavy construction timbers. United much lumber as last year, but this has been offset by the increased home con-— sumption. The hardwood trade does not show a great deal of activity, but manufacturers appear to have confidence in the situation and are not cutting prices. They are waiting for the fall demand, which they expect will be good asa result of abun- dant crops and the consequent increase in the purchasing power of the country. Hardwood prices are by no means high, and the margin of profit to manufac- turers is small, ing season’s production of logs is likely to be curtailed. ye QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. Considering that labor troubles have interfered with building operations in Montreal, the showing made by the building permits, which are in excess of — last year, is very encouraging.

British ship- ments from Montreal during July were light. The Quebec timber market is quiet, with nominal price fluctuations. Oak isa little lower, while ash is quite firm at 26 to 28 cents for 10 inch average and 30 to 32 cents for 16 inch, Maritime Province spruce is going principally to the United States, where conditions are good. A Halifax shipper takes exception to the statement in a recent issue that the South American market is in a healthy condition. He claims that shipments have been much lighter than last year, and that there is now very little activity, whereas at this time last year buying for fall shipment was much in evidence. Nevertheless, spruce lumber at present prices should be good property, UNITED STATES, The healthy condition of the white pine trade has been further strengthened by the almost certainty of an abundant crop of winter and spring wheat and the proba- bility of a record yield of corn. Another year of continued prosperity in all lines of business is believed to be assured, and this has brightened the outlook for lumber. All grades of white pine are moving actively for this season of the year, and prices are being well maintained. Our Buffalo list this week shows an advance of $1 per thousand on all grades of barn| boards and inch No. 2 cutting up. Ten inch box is also slightly higher. Spruce Iumber is showing increased strength. The wholesale price at Boston was last week advanced $2 a thousand feet on. frames and from 50 cents to $2 on random. | Although the mills are operating to their full capacity, stocks are not accumulating, and it is claimed that-the»recent advance | in prices is warranted by the relation of supply to demand. It is between seasons with the hard- woods and many of the larger manufac- turing concerns are allowing, their stocks to run down. When they again enter the market prices are not likely to be much changed, for there is an ample supply of stock of nearly all kinds. The exception to this ig plain oak.

Lath is quite scarce and the demand continues strong. No, 1 white pine in car- load lots is selling in Chicago at $4.25, No, 2 at $3.50 to $3.75, and No. 1 hemlock at $2.25. FOREIGN, Conservatism still characterizes the operations of British lumber merchants, with the result that most of the, transac- tions taking place are infinitesimal. It is hoped that the beginning of peace nego- tiations will stimulate the demand and re- store confidence, which has been lacking nearly all season, but thisis by no means certain. It is some satisfaction, however, to learn that a few merchants are prepared to do business at present prices. One authority Says that many of the most cautious importers, who had some time ago decided to postponefurther operations to an indefinite period, and leave autumn cargoes alone, are now negotiating for further goods, and, we are glad to say, some good contracts have resulted. Sell- ers, on their part, are undoubtedly acting wisely in continuing to sell at the old figures while buvers are in the humae to - tendency to ‘advance in prices, be stranded in the upper waters of the St. John. Already several manufacturers in this city are reckoning their available raw material as sufficient for a few days only, and unless a rise of water occurs itis prob- able that the end of this month will find most of the important plants on the river shut down for an indefinite period. Under ordinary circumstances, when the log drives have reached the main river they are considered in safe water, but the fact that there has been no important rainfall at the headwaters during the past two months and that the river is con- sequently phenomenally low, has entirely upset the calculations of those interested, Logs are coming into the booms at Fred- ericton very slowly and unless conditions improve materially during the next week rafting operations will be entirely sus- pended. A feature of the trade is the increasing demand for spruce lath in the New York market and a consequent firmness with a Ship- -ments from this port during the last month have been moderately heavy and stocks are consequently somewhat below the figures given last month; 2,000,000 would easily cover the available. At present writing spruce slab lath are quoted f.o.b. schooner St. John at $2.45 for non-dutiable and $2.20 for dutiable. The cedar shingle market has since last writing developed a lack of stimulus which has had an unfavorable effect upon prices, although at just this season of the year this condition is expected and there- fore in this case bas caused no surprise whatever. Stocks in this line are moder- ately heavy owing to the scarcity of ton- nage suitable for the shipment of this kind of goods, as mentioned in previous letters, although shipments during the past month have been somewhat larger than the out- put. At this date the total holdings in this line would aggregate 4,000,000. Prices at this date on cedar shingles, f.o.b. schooner St. John, are quoted at: Extras, $2.70; clears, $2.20; 2nd clears, $1.75; No. 1’s, 90 cents.

THE COOPERAGE STOCK SITUATION. ~ The Sutherland-Innes Company, Chat- ; ham, Ont., furnish the following report of _ cooperage stock conditions: _ Business is beginning to look up again : ‘in the cooperage trade, although it is not _ yet what it should be for this season of the _ year. The reports from different apple- __ producing states are very conflicting, some of the reports giving as high as 75 per _ cent. crop, while others go down as low as 25 per cent. We believe, however, - taking it all around, there will be a fairly _ good apple crop in the United States, and ¥ certainly if all the good apples are barrel- _ ed, the demand for cooperage stock will be very heavy indeed. Prices of stock, however, are very unsatisfactory to the ‘manufacturers, some of the smaller manu- _facturers having been compelled, on ac- _ count of financial matters, to sell their stock at low figures to the dealers, and _ the dealers are offering the stock at prices which would make it impossible for the manufacturers to make a living or to "duplicate the stock. A great deal of this ‘stock, of course, is of a quality which is dear at almost any price, but still it affeets J B.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION the market, both to the detriment of the manufacturers who turn out good stock and to the regular consumers who buy good stock but have to compete against the traveling coopers who buy this cheap stock, and sell barrels at very low figures. This is more particularly the case in lower grades of stock; flour and sugar barrel stock area good deal firmer than they were, and with the prospects of the best wheat harvest for years, it will undoubted- ly consume a very large amount of stock. We look for much higher prices in the higher grades before the end of the season. There is no doubt that the prospects of such excellent crops all over the country will also boom business generally, and in. crease the consumption of cooperage material all along the line. The outputs at the different mills have been very much curtailed this season, a great many of the mills already having cut out their stocks and closed down, for the balance of the year, as they found it unre- munerative to truck logs at the present prices of staves, hoops and heading. The weather has been most unfavorable throughout the North and a good. part of the South for the production of cooperage stock. In some parts rain has averaged from twenty to twenty-two days in the month, not continual rain, but more or less rain every day. This has had the effect to cause considerable of the stock to mil- dew and reduce the production of high- grade stock very considerably, of course increasing the production of low-grade stock.

Tight barrel stock of all kinds has had quite a boom; the production has been very limited, indeed, on account of the unfavorable weather in the South, and the stocks of rough staves, especially pipe staves in the South, are lower than they have been for years, Unless the weather improves materially during the next two months, there will be a great dearth of staves in the South for export, and it is a question where prices will go to. In the meantime the producers who have any good pipe or hogshead staves for ship- ment to New Orleans or other Southern ports are obtaining record prices, but, on account of the difficulties of hauling to the raiiroad and the heavy expenses incurred, they are not making any more money than they would at average prices with good hauling, White oak timber, of course, is getting more scarce all the time, and the produc- tion will be decreased year by year for natural causes, but with unfavorable weather the production has been artificial- ly decreased, and consequently prices are higher than they have been at almost any previous time. The demand for export is very heavy, and it is difficult for the producers to sup- ply their regular customers at the present time, TIMBER LIMIT TRANSACTIONS.

For the month of August a large quan- tity of pine and hemlock lumber is going into consumption ; the late Summer ac- tivity is showing itself, and this is regard- ed as the forerunner of a very brisk Fall trade. Conditions could scarcely be more healthy. A few of the mills in the Geor- gian Bay district have been obliged to close, down for want of logs, this being due to the late arrival of some of the drives. Good crops are helping the coun- try demand, and the call for mixed car lots is indicative of light stocks carried by the retailers. Thereis some betterment in the demand for the hardwoods, but this branch of the lumber industry is still backward, as it has been nearly all season. This inactiv- ity has not brought about lower prices, for, considering the cost of logs and labor, prices are now too low in most in- stances. Orders are tairly numerous for birh and maple, but basswood and soft elm are dull. Some manufacturers are holding their lumber rather than sell at the prices now offered, as they believe that the market will be stronger in the Fall. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. The low water in the St. John river is still causing much anxiety, as a few of the have been compelled to operations. This condition has couraged manufacturers to hold out for higher prices, and practically no stotk is being offered below the regular market price. Another facter in the situation is the loss of five million feet of lumber in the mill fire at Fredericton last week. It: is generally believed that the spruce market will improve and will gradually get into a stronger position. mills cease en- No improvement has taken place in New Brunswick cedar shingles ; in fact, sales of Extras for Boston delivery are now being made at $3.20. other hand, is very firm, with an advanc- ing tendency. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. Building permits have been issued in Winnipeg this year tor 2,868 buildings, representing an expenditure ot $8,295,000. This statement clearly shows the un- precedented activity in building opera- tions in that city, and also gives some conception of the jumber demand. Deal- ers have been kept busy all season, and while prices are not all that might be de- sired, the slaughtering of the market which was characteristic of the business last year, has been absent. Lath, on the* The country ADA LUMBERMAN II. demand has been of moderate proportions only, but the promise’of a wheat harvest variously estimated between 80,000,000 to 100,000,000 bushels for Manitoba and the Territories, has created a feeling of confidence which will undoubtedly be re- flected in large orders for lumber. The situation in British Columbia is very un- settled, the announcement having recently been made that the Coast mills have met the reduction of the Mountain mills and are quoting shiplap and other rough dimension lumber at from $17 to $18 for delivery at points in the Northwest. Dressed lumber, we understand, has been advanced $1 per thousand. UNITED STATES. The United States has just harvested a bountiful wheat crop, and present indi- cations are for the largest yield of corn on record, The effect of such an abundant harvest upon the lumber trade cannot be otherwise than reassuring. Pessimism is entirely absent, and everyone is looking forward to another year of great pros- perity. Inthe West there is a lull in the demand for northern pine, but this is ex- plained by the fact that wholesale dealers were heavy buyers early in the Spring and that the bulk of the season’s cut has passed out of first hands. The Eastern demand for white pine is exceptionally strong, and it is expected that the White Pine Association of Buffalo and Tonawan- da will this week agree upon an advance. There is a good call for coarse lumber, box and fine common. The advance of $2.00 a thousand on spruce frames has checked the demand, but buyers have not been able to secure any concessions of consequence, and the market is generally firm. Random spruce is irregular, the range of prices being quite $2. Hemlock continues to show great strength. Penn- ylvania stock for New York delivery was recently advanced $1 a thousand on 2 x 4 and 2% x 4, 10, 18 and 20 toot lengths. No. 2 boards were advanced 50 cents. Plain oak and birch lead the hard- woods, in which there has not yet been much revival. Some of the furniture fac- tories in Michigan are buying a little more liberally, and the implement factories ap- pear to be running short of certain grades, | WOODS & SPICER, Limited +2.

Keenan Bros., CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION but the demand is not nearly so active as for pine and spruce. White cedar shin- gles are now held at $2.50 at Chicago, an advance of practically 25 cents in the last three months. GREAT BRITAIN. A careful review of the various reports received of the British lumber markets re- veals few changes, but conditions would seem to be shaping towards improvement, The small stocks on hand cannot be ignored, and if consumption should revive it would not be long before an acute scarcity would develop. The stock of lumber in the public docks at London on July 31st of this year was only 14,707,000 pieces, compared with 17,004,000 pieces in 1904, 17,129,000 pieces in 1903 and as much as 20,439,000 pieces in 1902. The deliveries have been 19,921,000 pieces, almost 2,000,000 pieces less than last year, but sufficient to show that the con- sumption is still considerable. From the St. Lawrence there has been received this year 154,000 pieces of pine deals, while last year for the same period the import was 517,000 pieces. Birch planks have been imported too heavily and prices are a little weaker. This year’s receipts of 223,000 pieces at London compares with 110,000 pieces last season. There has been a fair demand for elm, which con- tinues to realize high prices. STOCKS AND PRICES. Randolph & Baker, of St. John, N. B., recently sold nearly all their logs to A. Cushing & Company. Greer Bros., railway contractors, Port Arthur, Ont., have awarded a contract to Joseph Vigars to take out 8,000 ties. Watson & Todd are now engaged in shipping the deals purchased this season’ from the W. C. Edwards Company, Rock- land, Ont. 4 The steamer Yangtze sailed last week from Varcouver, B.C., carrying 100,000 feet of deck planking consigned to Copen- hagan, Denmark, and 200,000 feet of rough material consigned partly to Japan and partly to Hong Kong. The following vessels have been charter- ed to load lumber at the Hastings mill, Vancouver, B.C., in the near future: British barque Don, now loading lumber at the mill for the United Kingdom. Ger- man ship Najade, due to arrive from Yokohama and under charter to load for South America. Schooner W. H. Talbot, expected to arrive in port about August zoth, chartered to load lumber for Japan. German ship Carl, en route to Vancouver from Taku and due toarrive about August 15th to load for the United Kingdom. Chilean barque Royal Sovereign, due to arrive in port about September, under charter to load for Valparaiso. German barque Nil Desperandum, under charter to load lumber for Hamburg. She will not reach port till about the end of October. THE GLASGOW MARKET. Messrs. Edmiston & Mitchells, in their last Monthly Timber Circular, review the Glasgow market as follows: The past month is proverbially a slack ~one in this district, owing to the local holi- days held annually at that time, but this year has proyed exceptionally dull, and may be attributed to the quietness of the housebuilding trade, together with the difficulty existing between the joiners and their employers, which still, unfortunately, remains unsettled. At the same time, it may be said that prices as a whole have been wonderfully well maintained, the only exception being in the case of birch, which has been imported rather more freely than the market could comfortably absorb. First quality pine deals and sidings have also beencoming forward pretty freely, and have consequently been pressed for sale, with the result that values are hardly so firm as they were, but granted that the import for the remainder of the season remains on a similar scale to that up to date, prices will probably harden again. From the extreme caution displayed by buyers, it is evident that they fear prices will be easier later on in the season, but this opinion is doubtless based upon the expectation of a heavy import, and the next month or two will show whether or not this is likely to be realized. American hardwoods continue to be im- ported pretty freely, and there is evidence MBIA RHD CHDAR SHINGLES Cepeacity 100 Million a Year. Limited Owen Sound, Ont.

AsH.—The import has again been only trifling and values are unaltered. There are occasional inquiries in the market for small lots of 20 to 40 logs, but nothing like an active demand. DEALs, &c.—Imports have been rather heavier during the month, and, on account of the holidays, sales ‘‘ex quay” have been rather more difficult to effect, consequent- ly the bulk of the shipments have had to be stored. Stocks, though not large, are increasing, and prices are nominally un- Current values are as under: _ of prices being shaded here and there to _ avoid storage expenses, particularly so in ” the case of oak lumber. Shipbuilders in Scotland launched 16 vessels of 22,124 tons during the month of ‘July, and the output for the seven months of this year amounts to 281,984 tons, being 47,000 tons more than for the same period dast year. The new work placed during the past month aggregates roughly 20,000 tons. _ Housebuilding is very quiet and is bound F to continue so until the trouble with the joiners is settled. _ Wuite Pine.—The import consists of 1,400 loads waney and 250 loads square “pine, the greater part against contracts. _ There have been no transactions of any "importance, and inquiries have been tew owing to the holidays. Stocks are moder- _ate, but sufficient for prospective require- "ments. » altered. Broap First PINE DEALS—£33 to 435; 11-inch, 4,30 to £32; ends and non-dimen- sions, £23 to 425.

By their action the owners seek to relieve the congested condition of the shingle market by cutting oft a portion of the supply for three months during the winter, as the Everett shinglemen agreed some days ago to shut down during the period mentioned if the Ballard mills would sign the agreement. The last signatures of the Ballard mills to the agreement were secured after the meeting held in that city Saturday by the shinglemen had adjourned. The closing down of the straight shingle- mills between December 1, 1905, and March 1, 1906, is now practically assured, through the agreement signed by the Ballard mills. That means that the Everett mills wi!l fall into line, because the promise was given that they wonld sign the agreement if Ballard did. This means the clusing of 90 per cent. of the millsin the state. Their closing down will cut off during the three months in question about a fifth of the production of the year. As yet the combination mills of the state have not been asked to sign the agreement. The saw and shingle mill of J. H. Clark at Mitchell Square, Ont., was destroyed by fire last week. Donald Fraser & Son, of Fredericton, N. B., suffered a severe loss on August 11th, in the destruction by fire of the Aberdeen saw mill.

C., August 9. — The Mountain mills have been quoting such _prices for rough and shiplap lumber in Manitoba and the Northwest markets that the Coast mills have been shut out. Last week the Coast mills notified their agents in the Northwest of their intention to make a reduction that seems to have _ frustrated the plans of the Mountain mills, and. B A The announcement was that shiplap and _ other rough dimension lumber would be delivered at points in the Northwest at from $17 to $18 per thousand feet, a “straight cut of from $2 to $3 per thous- If the Mountain mills, on the other 4 hand, make a further reduction to $16 per _ thousand, it is claimed that they will have to do business at a considerable loss. The Coast mills have made an offset by a _ increasing the price of dressed lumber. The price has been put up $1 per thousand on the higher grades, the manufacture of which the Coast mills practically have a ‘ ¥ ‘iV iy : : the monopoly. As the matter stands at present the Coast mills have rather the better of the fight. By the plan adopted, British Columbia Manufacturers’ Association expects to put a stop to the a of price-cutting of the Mountain mills. 8 Gordon Street - Cable Address ; CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION VII. a A meeting of the cargo committee of the Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturers’ Association was held in Seattle, Wash, recently for the purpose of perfecting a reorganization of the inspection bureau of the association. The association plans to extend the bureau so as to include coast- wise as well as foreign shipments. This will apply to all California, British Col- umbia and other coastwise cargoes, and may mean the addition of several inspec- tors to the corps already employed by the bureau. Among those who attended the meeting were E.J. Palmer, of Chemainus, and J. A. Humbird. Premier Roblin, of, Manitoba, who has been visiting Vancouver en route to the Portland fair, expressed the opinion that an import duty should be put on lumber coming into. Canada from the United States. While this expression of opinion was not looked for from the premier of the prairie province, it will be all the more pleasing to the lumber interests of this Coast. CANADIAN NATIONAL EXHIBITION. The management of the coming Cana- dian National Exhibition announce that they have made arrangements for the greatest loan collection of art that has ever been exhibited in Canada, and prob- ably in America. They have secured paintings and art treasures illustrative ot a long period of years, from the wealthy corporations of the City of London, the great British Universities, including those of Oxford, Cambridge and Dublin, the Government of France, the South Ken- sington Museum, Right Honourable Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal, and His Honor the Lieutenant Governor of On- tario. This exhibit is expected to exceed in interest and attraction anything ever before presented to the people of Canada or the United States, not excepting the Jubilee presents themselves. The Exhi- bition opens on August 26th and will con- tinue until September 11th. LUMBER IN BARBADOS. From S. P. Musson, Son & Company, Barbados: ‘* The only arrival of lumber during the fortnight is the Schooner “Arthur H. Wright,” from LaHave, N.S., with a cargo of 130,000 ft. spruce, sold to arrive some short time ago at $21.50 for merchantable, and $17 for second quality. Another small cargo of this would prob- ably realize similar rates. White pine is still in heavy supply, which with a rather light demand keeps our market very dull. We have to note the arrival of the Schooner “‘ Minnie T,” to ourselves, with a mixed cargo of Long and Laying Cedar shingles from Bonaventure, P. Q. For the former we obtained $4.57, while the latter we sold at $1.85 for Extra No. 1, $2.90 for Clear Whites, and $3.10 for Second Clears. Supplies are now ample to meet requirements, and we hear of another cargo about due from Gaspe, for which lower prices will probably have to be accepted.” BRITISH TIMBER IMPORTS.

The white pine market is holding its strength in a very satisfactory manner, although, with conditions so generally favorable, it would scarcely be expected to do otherwise. The demand for building material is urgent, as retail stocks have been much reduced by the steady cal; since the early Spring. Few of the mills have accumulated any dry stock, and as the Fall activity should soon be in evidence, there is a strong probability that the quantity of pine lumber carried into the winter at the mill yards will be below the average. American buyers have been more numerous of late, the abundant har- vest across the line having inspired confi- dence in a continuation of business pros- perity, and, consequently, in the present range of lumber values. The heaviest de- . mand continues to be for the common grades. Some of the lumbermen are already woods opera- tions, but no expansiun in the log pro- duction is as yet indicated. Laboris none too plentiful, and wages may be a little We understand that sawyers and teamsters are being - offered $28 to $30. he QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. Labor troubles are still affecting, the building trade in Montreal, but taking this fact into consideration an unusually large quantity of lumber is going into consump- tion and prices are firm. Export ship- ments are light. New Brunswick and Nova Scotia spruce is feeling the effect of the buoyant market in the Eastern States, where prices have recently advanced about $2 per thousand. Canadian deals for shipment to that market are higher in consequence, 10’s and 12’s | being quoted at St. John at $19.50. Clapboards are also a little firmer and tor Boston delivery ruling quotations are $40 to $42 for extras. Lath are very firm and quoted on a basis of $3.65 for 15 inch and $3.50 for 14 inch for Boston delivery either in car or vessel lots. The demand for shingles is a little more active and stocks of clears are well sold up. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA, Harvesting operations are now in pro- gress in some parts of the Northwest, the reports of which indicate a very heavy yield of wheat. There is in consequence a very confident feeling in respect. to the business prospects, in which lumber of course shares. From British Columbia comes the report that steps are likely to be taken to prevent the wholesale cutting of prices which seemed likely to result through the action of a few of the manu. facturers in lowering their quotations with the object of obtaining the lion’s share of the trade. After more serious considera- tion, the futility of such action is recogniz- ed and it is probable that in the neat future prices will be restored to a more reasonable basis. There is much activity’ in timber circles in British Columbia. Dur- ing July 236 timber-cutting licenses were issued, from which the revenue was over $60,000, about $29,000 being for licenses and $31,000 for royalties. UNITED STATES, The position of the lumber manufactur- ers has been clearly demonstrated during the past week, and if their views are not entirely erroneous the trend of the market is distinctly upward. Prices in the Wis- consin Valley have been selling at 50 cents to $1.50 a thousand above the list price, which has now been revised to conform to the stronger condition of the market. The price list committee of the Northwestern Hemlock Manufacturers’ Association, at a meeting held at Wausau, Wisconsin, on August 11th, decided upon the following advances on hemlock: That all items on the list be advanced 50 cents; that piece stuff and timbers in 22 and 24 foot lengths be advanced 50 cents additional; that No, EGE Oe eet ry te 1 SMe lanl Par te Ld 7 yay j xP, a, a if \ if / 4 Me aN } .

The price of hemlock lath was fixed at $3 for No. 1 and $2.50 for No. 2. Spruce is also quite as strong as pine and hemlock and within the past fortnight there has been an advance in boards and dimension material, which class of lumber is now quoted at $22 to $24. Spruce clap- boards are also in a strong position. One year agothey ranged from $37 to $42, while the price to-day for the straights is $44. Spruce lath are selling quite liberally in Massachusetts and Maine, at $3.60. We cannot report much improvement in the hardwoods. Birch is showing to good advantage and rock elm is moving in some volume, but soft elm, maple and basswood are very dull and prices inclined to be soft. An improvement in the demand is looked ‘for in the near future and those who buy hardwoods at present prices are likely to realize good profits later in the year. GREAT BRITAIN. Last week we reported that the British lumber market showed signs of an early improvement. Later advices confirm this view to some extent, but there still exists a wide divergence of opinion and con. servatism is still being urged by the major- ity of importers. The Timber Trades Journal, which at no time magnifies the favorable features of the situation, say of spruce: ‘‘Regarding this commodity, the ' feeling is that there is a better tone all round, with indications of enhanced prices. The firm attitude adopted by shippers some time ago is still held, and they still consider themselves justified in holding out for their figures, and have in some in- stances refused offers which a few weeks ago would have been readily accepted. On the other hand, importers have some- what raised their ideas, and buyers in the Bristol Channel, who a few weeks ago talked under £7 c.i.f., have purchased at £7 2s. 6d. c.i.f. Since our last notes we hear a 1,400-standard St. John cargo has been sold in that neighborhood at over \ this figure; while in the Mersey district we hear that over £7 3s. 9d. has been done for a similar cargo; also small sailers of good stock have brought £7 7s. 6d. c.i.f, both in Lancashire and Bristol Channel markets.

The Dickson Company, of Peterboro, have succeeded in getting their entire cut of 15,000,000 feet of logs to their mills at Peterboro and Lakefield. The company have had two gangs of men on the limits in Anstruther and Anson townships all summer cutting hemlock and basswood, in order that the logs may be dry enough to float next spring. The Moore & Whittington Lumber Company, of Victoria, B. C., have just completed arrangements to ship cedar in scow-load quantities to American firms, They have purchased a logging outfit and expect to have a camp in operation before the end of the month. BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER. (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) VANCOUVER, B. C., August 15, 1905.— Prices have altered owing to the action of Coast lumbermen in endeavoring to assist those who would not cut prices in the interior. When the proposed selling pool of manufacturers in the interior of the province was talked of from fifteen to twenty per cent. of the millmen would not agreed, they preferring to sell on their own hook. They dropped the prices on the lower grades to a figure a little less than what the pool proposed, and the others were compelled to follow suit. The result is that the pool has not been effect- ed, and hardly will be. Now the Coast lumber manufacturers are getting into the game, and have reduced prices on the lower grades from $19 and $20 per thousand, delivered in the Territories, to $17 and $18. To offset this loss, the ’ prices on the better grades have been in- creased from $1 to $1.50. It is thought the manufacturers in the interior will be brought to time, as they cannot stand the cut, and are in fact losing money. The Coast people have rough lumber stock to get rid of, and the reduction will help. Money will not be tied up, and while monetary profit will not result, the in- dustry will be moving. The trade on the whole is good. Inthe interior it is even better than on the Coast, and some mills are cutting capa- city. Others, while running full time, have even been able to dispose of stock, which is a good indication. As soon as a bountiful harvest is assured, the mill men look to large orders from the Terri- tories. There has been some falling off during the summer, but it is expected that this will pick up. All those engaged in logging do not agree as to the prospects and conditions of this branch of the industry. While some consider there are too many logs in the water owing to the many.camps hav- ing been established early in the year, the more optimistic believe that these will soon be used up when the fall orders come in from the North-west. Prices are fair, fir logs going at from $5 to $5.50 and $6 at the camp, with the demand good. Rough cedar is not sought for, and mills will not give a price om it. Cedar is not cut to a very large extent on this side of the line, especially for export. However, mills are proposed for the west coast of Vancouver Island which will cut cedar exclusively, and the owners, who are Americans, consider they can very easily © aa McLennan Timber Land and Lumber G60., Limited Selling Agency and Dealers in all kinds of Timber Lands.

The proportion of scantlings in these cargoes shows a tendency to increase almost in the same _ way that the wider widths are yearly ik diminishing. In the days when 15 or 20 _ per cent. of 11 in. was a not impossible specification for a St. John’s cargo, scant- ns _ lings were not held of much account. - Nowadays, when the bulk of the cargo is 7 in. and 8 in.,there are shippers who feel _ that a reduction of £1 per standard is too as J.

Under present circum- stances, any effort to reduce the allowance of 41 per standard for scantlings would, we feel sure, be strongly resented by buyers. Whether for a better arranged specification buyers would not be inclined to take a slightly smaller reduction is another matter. ADJUSTMENT OF LUMBER PRICES. CaLGary, August 16, 1905.—Because of the recent cut of Coast mills in ship- lap and rough dimension lumber for Northwest points, the British Columbia Mountain mills have decided to make a further endeavor to combine for the pur- pose of prstection. Their desire isto form a.selling pool, with headquarters in Cal- gary, andto this end a meeting of the representatives of all the mountain mills has been called to take place here on October 2. If arrangements should be satisfactorily arranged at this meeting, the management of the selling pool may be enabled to enter into a general price agreement with the Coast mills in respect to the Northwest market.

SPRUCE IS HIGHER. Perhaps one of the most interesting items of the fortnight is in relation to spruce, The basic price of spruce was advanced $1 August 8 by the West Vir- ginia manufacturers. This makes the price of 8 x 8 and under, New York de- livery, $21.50; 9, 10 and 12-inch, $23. That is, on the usual basis of twenty-foot lengths and under. New England is $1.25 above these prices and New Jersey the same. Per- haps a more striking feature is the change in the charge tor lengths over twenty feet. This charge has been advanced to $1 for every two feet over twenty feet, whereas it used to be fifty cents, This was done because the long stuff did not pay the manufacturers at the price, and the former differential made it an induce- ment for the dealers to run their orders largely to long lengths, J.

St. Joun, N.B., Aug. 19th, 1905.— _ Thescarcity of water in the St. John river __as referred to in last letter is daily becom- ing a more vital feature of the lumber manufacturing situation of this section. Millions of feet of logs are hung in the - main St. John, mostly above Grand Falls, although the quantity below this point _ would total to a large figure. The water is lower than it has been for twenty-five yea » the weather is remarkably dry, and, unless a rain comes in the immediate future, the mills at this port and all along » the river will be compelled to cease opera- ions. Nothing less than a rise of four or ' five feet in the up-river districts will serve to remedy the present condition of af- fairs. kets is the most. prominent feature of the lumber trade at this date. The demand has steadily increased until prices have reached a high level and the outlook is decidedly encouraging to all who have 2 anything i in this line to sell. Local stocks are light ; 2,000,000 s. ft. would cover all available at this date. The probabilities are that, even should the logs reach St. John in sufficient quantity to keep the mills in cut, the total cut of ‘‘ American” lumber i in this section will be lighter than 7 8 Gordon Street - Address; ‘‘TENEBRIS,” GLASGOW.

In several cases Ameri- can manufacturers confined their opera- tions entirely to Provincial stock. Shipments of ‘* American” deals from this port have been light all through the season and no important quantity is now en route. Local prices in this line have stiffened considerably since last writing and for delivery during the next three months no quotation could be obtained, on a specification of say a twenty foot average length, less than: 10’s and 12's, $19.50 ; 9's, $173; narrows, $14 (f.0.b. schr. St. John.) Freight rates to New York on long lumber are quoted at $3.50 per M, with charters not plentiful and yet not so scarce as during June and July. The depression in the English markets for Canadian wood goods continues and prospects are not at all encouraging to the seller. The volume of sales is very light and the lack of eagerness on the part of buyers is very marked. Ship- ments from this port have been very light during the last month for this season of the year and stocks have consequently increased somewhat since last writing ; 4,500,000 would about cover the holdings in this line. CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION Prices quoted last month will still apply, viz. :—$11.75 to $12.25 ona specification containing say 50 per cent. 7’s and 8’s, 35 per cent. 9's and 15 per cent. 11’s and up, 2/3 price for fourths and ends, f.o.b. steamer, St. John. An incident which has attracted wide- spread attention in lumbering circles of New Brunswick and Maine, was the at- tempt to dynamite the dam on Chamber- lain Lake. The object of this dam is, according to the ideas of the St. John River lumbermen, to divert a certain amount of water which would naturally flow into the St. John, into the Penobscot river. The dam in question is situated on the Allegash river, a branch of the St. John, and also connected with the Penob- scot river, On Wednesday morning, August 2nd, a party of men (said to be in the employ of a firm of lumber manufac- turers who have their mill on the Maine side of the St. John) arrived at this dam, disarmed the caretaker and opened the dam gates. They did not further molest the caretaker and he at once set out to obtain help. He returned alone, but hav- ing readily guessed his errand and antici- pating interference, the men from the St. John blew up three of the gates and dis- appeared. A short time afterward a party of men reached the dam from Eagle Lake and repairs were immediately made. The VII. men from Penobscot claim that the at- tempt wasa failure and that the water was diverted for only forty-eight hours, The water in the St. John rose an inch or two, but almost immediately fell off again, The damis now guarded by a force of forty armed men, SHORTAGE OF SPRUCE LOGS. “Lumber that is now being sawn, un- less under contract, is being done at a loss,” said Mr. W. H. Murray,of St. John, N.B., in an interview recently. ‘The millmen are, as a rule, short) of logs. Randolph & Baker have been compelled to close down. Stetson & Cutler have, I think, enough to carry them through the season, but theyare lucky, and better off than most of us. We will be able to run until probably the middle of September, but I am told that several other mills will close about the twenty-fifth of this month. It has not been a good season. Some of the millers were cutting on contracts on which they were able to make some money, but after their contracts were filled and they commenced cutting for stock it was at no profit to speak of. There are many logs hung up—I can’t tell you off hand how many—but most of them will stay where they are till next year, Rain, if it is heavy enough, will bring down some, but generally the mill season will be very short.” BRITISH WOOD BROKERS AND IMPORTERS PARNWORTH & JARDINE Cable Address “Farnworth,” Liverpool.

Business is good, and there is every in- dication of a steady increase in the de_ mand during the next two months. Offerings of white pine are not large, for manufacturers realize that the situation is a strong one and that there is little prob- ability of prices declining very much from the present basis. Building operations continue to cousume large quantities of lumber, thus keeping the retailers con- stantly in the market in order that their stocks may not become too badly broken. From August 16 to August 25 the building permits issued in Toronto represented an expenditure of upwards of $280,000. Many of the structures which were started in the early spring are now nearing com- pletion, which is reflected in an increased call for finishing material. So far this does not seem to have greatly benefitted the hardwoods, which, while steady in price, are not moving as briskly as pine and hemlock. There is, however, a very hopeful feeling even among the hardwood manufacturers, and more activity is likely to be seen before many weeks. Maple and birch flooring is in good demand and prices are firmer than earlier in the year, due, in part at least, to the higher prices prevailing in the United States. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. Two factors closely affecting the pros- perity: of the Northwest have, during the past week, made very satisfactory ad- vancement towards becoming a reality. One of these is the safe garnering of the largest yield of wheat which this rich country has yet produced, estimates rang- ing as high as one hundred million bushels; EME eee a ATT SR An Pac Bee es a t II. the other is the awarding of the contract for the constructionof nearly three hundred miles of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway from Portage la Prairie westward. What a production of one hundred miliion bush- els of wheat means to the Northwest is not easily overestimated—a monetary value of perhaps $70,000,000. The expenditure for the section of the Grand Trunk Pacific mentioned above will probably be $4,000,- 000, and it is gratifying to learn that the contractors are to commence work im. mediately. This undertaking will have an important influence on commercial activity in Canada, and especially in the West. The lumber trade will be greatly benefitted, for large quantities of timber will be used in construction. The present demand forlumber is active, dealers are busy and most of the mills are operating to their full capacity. Keen interest is shown in the meeting of British Columbia manufacturers to be held shortly for the purpose of adjusting lumber prices and en- deavoring to agree’ upon a basis which will give the producer a fair profit. UNITED STATES. Salesmen who are on the road are not finding it difficult to sell lumber; the de- mand is quite strong and prices firm. Offers below the market are very seldom made, for the buyer knows about as well as anyone that conditions are of the most healthy character and that there is no reason why the seller should make any concession of importance. The wheat crop has been harvested and the weather has been most favorable for the growing of corn. In addition to this feature, the iron and steel industry is enjoying a period of great prosperity. A heavy consumption of lumber during the balance of the year is indicated and’ prices are very likely to seek a higher level. The northern pine ‘production in the lake region from Duluth to Saginaw has been practically disposed of and is now in the hands of dealers, - The scarcity of the lower grades has turned attention to the better qualities, which are already reported to be getting scarce at Buffalo and Tonawanda. Hem- lock lumber is.doing better than in any previous season, large quantities of dimen- sion and coarse inch going into consump- wee . —B*% 27ers he |” See dead TIN GUID ub ANE wy uci Sy Ba ST all Ps, a AY. “ den > i eS eee mS ny Ck he ‘ CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION tion for building purposes. In Penn- sylvania the demand is so strong that another advance of one dollar is con- templated. Spruce continues to advance in price. Ordinary frames are being sold at $23.50 on Boston rate of freight, and ro inch random at $26. The tendency is distinctly upward. The demand for pulp wood is an influential factor in the spruce market and large areas of standing timber have been acquired by the pulp manu- facturers, The two best sellers among the hard- woods are oak and birch. The latter is steadily coming into prominence for in- terior finish and is now being used tosome extent instead of oak. Basswood con- tinues to show weakness. Lath still ex- hibits remarkable strength. Wisconsin Valley manufacturers are now quoting No. 1 white pine at $4.25. GREAT BRITAIN, Recent views expressed by British im- porters are of a more optimistic character and in general business there has been a slight improvement. The textile industries are gradually getting into better shape and this will sooner or later benefit the lumber trade. Reports are current of con- tracts closed with leading importers and it seems to be generally believed that shippers have given a very slight con- cession. A dealer who recently returned from Canada speaks very hopefully of the spruce market, which he expects to re- cover materially before the end of the year. A few sales of 3x9 third and fourth qualities have been made at £8 10s. and 48 per standard respectively c.i.f. London, The stock of spruce in Liverpool is not very large and is not likely to be greatly increased during the balance of the season. At Cardiff, Hull and other ports stocks are below the average, which will give the seller a decided advantage when the market becomes more active. Thereis a good demand for battens and small boards, A Hull correspondent states that ‘Quebec pine has advanced ios. per standard, second quality now being quoted at £21. A saw mill at Waterford, Ont., owned by Richard Robinson, was burned a few days ago. STOCKS AND PRICES. Wm. Cowan & Co.'s saw mills, Prince Albert, N.W.T., closed down last week, having exhausted their supply of logs. Donald Fraser & Sons, of Fredericton, N.B., whose Aberdeen mill was burned recently, have arranged to have their logs sawn at the Warner mills, St. John. Pine piece stuff in Chicago is up $1, joists 50 cents to $1.50, timber $1 to $2, common boards $1, stock boards 50 cents to $1. Good lumber is up $2 to $5, and on 1¥% to 3-inch uppers $8 more is asked. The Pigeon River Lumber Company, Port Arthur, Ont., recently shipped a car- go comprising 700,000 feet of lumber to Saginaw, Mich. that has been shipped from Port Arthur to an American port for several years. Messrs. Clairmonte, Man & Company, Barbados, say of the lumber market : There have been two arrivals with lumber during the fortnight. The demand for both white pine and spruce has fallen off. Last sale of white pine on the spot was at $22.60 per M for merchantable and $16.00 for second quality. Last sale of spruce on the spot was $21.00 per M for mer- . chantable, and $15.00 for second quality.

The property is situated at Memel, four miles from Hope- well Hill. The general impression is that it sold well. On some date on or between September 15th and zoth the transfer of 166,000 acres ct timber land, mills, etc., from the William Richards Company, of Chatham, N.B., tothe International Paper Company, of New York, will be made. So far as can be learned the price to be paid will be between $600,000 and $750,000. The property which the Americans are pur- chasing gives them control of all of the Richards Company's business on the Mira- michi, and they will therefore retain their mill property at Campbellton. The pro- perty to change hands includes 166,000 acres of timber land on the Taxis river, the Richards Company’s mills at Boies- town and Chatham, and lumbering equip- ment. The Wolverine Land & Lumber Com- pany, of Menominee, Mich., are said to be negotiating for the Eddy-Glynn tract of timber land on the Whitefish and Spanish rivers, containing about 100,000,000 feet of pine.

Some Duluth capitalists, represented by Dr. Cook and others, were at Grand Forks, B.C., recently negotiating for the purchase of some 25 square miles of timber limits up the North Fork of the Kettle They have a cruiser with them for the purpose of cruising the timber. Should the deal go through, Dr. Cook and his associates will erect a large mill and find a market in the new places that are opening along the Kettle River in Nicola Valley. The Kendall Logging Company, which has been working at Comox, has sus- The men who were River. pended operations. working for the company have put in their claims, which amount to $1,900, the logs seized being worth approximately $2,100. The engine, which was only partially paid for, has been taken back by the Chemairus Lumber Company, who had a lien on it, and the E. K. Wood Company, of Belling- ham, are said to have a chattel mortgage on the rest of the logging outfit. The company operated on limits owned by the E. K. Wood Company. There are other creditors, but for what amounts has not been learned. A Vancouver paper recently contained an announcement concerning the taxation of timber lands, Itread: ‘‘Notices are being issued calling upon the holders of all timber under license to furnish returns as to the value set upon their timber to the tax collectors andassessors. Failing such re- turns the tax collectors are empowered to assess the values themselves and levy the estimated that there will be raised by this means a revenue of $400,000." The above notice was somewhat misleading, and was further explained by the publication of the follow- ing: ‘*We are informed that there-are no notices being sent out by the assessor to the holders of licenses of timber lands, be- cause timber lands held under lease or license are exempt from taxation by the What is being done, however, is that a form is being sent out to the owners of timber land to be filled up in accordance with the Act, showing the description, value and other particulars of the land they claim to be timber land, so that the assessor may know whether to assess it 2 per cent. as timber land or 4 per cent. as wild land. the ordinary duties in preparation of the roll for 1906, and none are sent to the lessees or licensees of provincial timber lands.” tax accordingly. It is act. This form is being sent out in course of the assessor's BUSINESS NOTES. A demand of assignment is reported to have been made upon Isreal Nantel, lum- ber dealer, Montreal. David R. Galbraith, lumber mianufac- turer, Mar, Ont., is announced to have assigned to D. R. Jermyn. The W. F. Huntting Lumber Company, Vancouver, B.C., report very good busi- ness in shingles this summer. They are running night and day. The Liverpool firm of R. Parker & Company, Limited, in liquidation, has managed to pay no less than 15s 434d on the pound, a result which will be very satisfactory to all concerned, including the directors. i JUST A GENTLE REMINDER y) Wi That’s all—-a reminder that we can supply your } wants in the lumber line.

LOCKHART GORDON, Managing Director, 157 Bay Street, Toronto, CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. ONTARIO. Nothing has occurred during the past week to weaken the foundation of the lumber market, but on the other hand orders for pine and hemlock are becoming more plentiful and everyone seems satis- fied with the conditions and the volume of business. Price lists now being issued show advances in many instances, these being confined chiefly to the lower and upper grades of pine. Common pine re- mains about stationary. Hemlock, how- ever, is about 50 cents higher than one month ago; 10 and 12 inch, 12 to 16 feet in length, is held at $13.50 at the mills: Mill run tamarac is worth $14 and spruce about $16. The lath situation is gradually getting stronger. Manufacturers who were re- cently quoting No. 1 white pine at $3.25 are now asking $3.75. There appears to be a shortage of lath not only in Canada but at nearly all the leading manufacturing centres of the United States, and it is predicted that still higher prices will be seen in the near future. There is no change in hardwoods ex- cepting that basswood is, if anything, a little weaker and can be bought at the mill as low as $20 for mill run. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. The lumber manufacturers at St. John, N.B., are making arrangements to -close their mills owing to the shortage of logs. Probably 50,000,000 feet have been hung up, with little likelihood of getting out before next spring. This condition is likely to cause a reduction in logging operations during the coming winter, par- ticularly as the spruce lumber market is still Recent developments, however, have been in the direction of an improvement. Inch spruce boards are moving quite actively and the supply at St. John is practically exhausted. The cessation of hostilities between Russia and Japan is likely to benefit the price of spruce deals. The keenest interest of late has centred in the lath market. The price in New York has reached $4, which is very un- usual. St. John manufacturers are get- ting $2.30, but the indications are that $2.50 will not be considered unreasonably high in the near future. There is also a better tone to New Brunswick cedar shingles, and the standard brands of Ex- tras are moving in satisfactory volume at $3.25 for Boston delivery. uncertain. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA, Lumber is active almost everywhere in the Northwest, but particularly in Winni- peg, There is less complaint of price ma aah ' II. CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION cutting than was the case one year ago and profits are better. British Columbia ship-lap is selling readily in Winnipeg at $17 per thousand. Several large sales of birch flooring, 4 to 16 feet lengths, have been made in Winnipeg at $68, with dis- count of ten per cent. for cash in sixty days. The recent cut in the prices of ship-lap and common lumber made by the British Columbia Coast mills in order to meet the Mountain manufacturers’ quot- ations is having its effect. The Coast lumbermen report a brisk business in this class of material, some of them being already practically cleaned out of the commoner grades. [It is also learned that in spite of the slight increase in price, the upper grades are moving satisfactorily and the demand is on the increase. UNITED STATES. Wherever lumber shows any change, it is in the direction of higher prices. The conditions are invariably satisfactory. The northern pine trade is of larger volume than one week ago, and this would also apply to southern pine were it not for the scarcity of stock. Lumber is worth about $3 more than a year ago, but buyers still seem eager for the stock, even to the ex- tent of paying from fifty cents to one dol- lar more than they believe to be the present market price; that is, where the lumber can be obtained, the price is a matter of indifterence to certain buyers. There is no evidence of weakness any- where. A sale of No. 3 white pine, 10 inches wide, was made at Duluth last week at $16.50. At Cleveland prices are higher in accordance with the new list issued last month. Norway piece stuff in No. 2 and 3 boards was advanced trom fifty cents to one dollar a thousand, it, be- ing the opinion of many persons that there is less-norway in the market than at} this season for many years. Box lumber is in demand at all the leading mahufactdring places. Hemlock continues to make |pro- gress. Producers are short of long’ lengths . and prices are likely to be further, ad- vanced. No. 2 Pennsylvania stock is‘sell- ing in Boston at $18.75 and northern as high as $18 in some instances.

Oak, ash, birch and beech are strong. Influenced by the car shortage, réd cedar shingles have advanced ten cents per thousand and are showing a much better tone. Wholesale dealers are be- lieved to be in favor of higher prices, as some stocks were bought earlier in *the season on the theory that an upward move would be made when the fall activity put in an appearance. Laths are very strong and are quoted as high as $4.50 for No. 1 white pine and $4 for No. 2, Chicago de- livery. GREAT BRITAIN, If we judge the British lumber market correctly, the holder of Canadian lumber is in a very fortunate position. The general trade of the country is improving and has been helped by the prospects of a good harvest. It is expected that the lumber demand of South Africa will be a little better, while the French buyers are also showing more disposition to operate than they have exhibited since the com- mencement of the selling season. After a very uncertain period, it is now stated that the White Sea shippers intend to hold for higher figures. Canadian pine is showing more strength, perhaps, than at any previous time this year. Dealers who have stocks are of the opinion that they will be able to realize to good advantage later in the year. The demand for spruce is steadily improving and the best quality is scarce notwithstanding the summer re- ceipts. ported to have paid £7 §s. c.i.f. for a St. John steamer cargo, while Northwest Coast firms -have bought above this figure for a cargo including a consider- able percentage of 3 x 1fand.g inch., bf re .

B., August 31st, 1905.— The log situation on the St. John’ river is unchanged; the manufacturers have accept- ed the inevitable and the manufacturing season of 1905 is to be without doubt the shortest in many years. The middle of September will find all the mills at this port and along the river, with one or possibly two exceptions, shut down for a period that will depend entirely upon the weather conditions of the next two months at the head waters of the St. John. It is generally felt, however, that the season » is practically at an end so far as sawing lumber at this port is concerned. A feature of the trade at this date is the brisk demand for spruce lath. Values in this line are stronger than was the case a month ago and show a tendency toward a higher level in the near future. Ship- ments during the last two months have more than equalled the quantities sawn and consequently stocks are light; 3,000,- ooo would cover all available and this amount is divided among half a dozen dealers. In view of the early cessation of sawing, the probabilities are will be no lath whatever on the local market after October 1st. At “\present no quotation obtained on spruée ‘slab lath $2.25 (f.o.b. schr. St. John) for non- dutiable and $2.30 for dutiable. The demand for the higher grades of cédar shingles, after the slight drop in price mentioned a month ago, is steady and the volume of business is about as usual at this season of the year, although itis unlikely that the higher prices of the early summer will be prevalent again in the near future. In the lower grades trade isslack both locally and for shipment. could be MANUFACTURERS a ade tems Capacity 100 Million a Year. Owen Sound, Ont.

This is the black variety, __ whereas the Eastern is the white species. : Prt me _ Pasqua and’ the Porpoquine Hills. _mamed is very prolific in poplar. } The best timber, he says, is found by the This district is drained by the Etiomami, Red Deer and Little Swan rivers. The first The Saskatchewan Lumber Company have a _ mill at Crooked River, N.W.T. The Red _ Deer Lumber Company’s plant is at Red Deer Lake, Sask. The Northern Lumber a Company have mills at Pine River and Grandview, Man, The Swan River 2 Lumber Company have their mills situated at Fishers Siding, Man. Mr. McDonald states that there is no other timber there except a small percentage of tamarac. In his opinion there will bé a great demand for poplar for interior finish, and he thinks it is equal in such cases to bass- wood, One of the Northwest limits now on the market is situated in the district of Saskat- chewan and tributary to the Red Deerand Canadian Northern Railway. It com- prises 156 square miles selected in seven blocks, and, according to a Winnipeg estimator, will yield about five hundred million feet. It is held under license from the Crown, having an annual ground rent of $5.00 per square mile and Crown dues of fifty cents per thousand—to be paid as the lumber is manufactured. The spruce is of excellent quality, some trees running over thirty inches in diameter. An expert who has been over the Northwest Terri- tories considerably says that west of Lake Winnipegosis there is larger spruce than he ever saw anywhere except in British Columbia. ber close to'water. Another limit of forty square miles is also on the market. It is estimated to yield eighty million feet of spruce and tamarac of good quality. Logs can be floated from this berth by the Assiniboine River to Kamsack on the Canadian Northern Railway, Sixty square miles of a timber berth on the shores of Cedar Lake, Sask., together with a number of islands having an area of about thirty-five square miles, is now under option and estimators are out looking over it. It has been estimated to produce about five hundred million feet. The pro- duction of this berth can be taken by water to Winnipeg at a small cost. Mr. S. Ashfield, of the Northwest Lum- ber Company, Winnipeg, has just re- turned froma very extensive trip through- The land is level and the tim- : Ill. out the Territories. He reports business as being splendid in the new districts: but quieter in the older localities. He booked orders for over one hundred cars. To reach the new settlements in the Saskat- chewan Valley he rode from Prince Albert to Lloydminster in a buckboard. Healso travelled from Battletord to Saskatoon calling at the various settlements and driving over the country through the immense wheat fields, which he says are simply magnificent. The Canadian Northern Railway are acting very gen- erously to the settlers in helping them out by running their lumber in on their con- Struction trains. A good many of the farmers are short of binders and binder twine and stand to lose a considerable portion of the wonderful harvest. North Battleford and Lloydminster are both growing very fast, but the latter place is retarded in its building operations by the ’ fact that the C.N.R. holds alternate lots right in the townsite, and as the railway runs down the main street, every other lot is held up, whereas the merchants are very desirous to build blocks but cannot do'so owing to the fact that the C.N.R. is holding on to the lots and refusing to sell. Lloydminster is divided by the Meridian passing along the main street. One half the town is in Alberta and the other halfin Saskatchewan. There is already a faction fight on, the post office being stolen in the night time and carried from the Saskat- chewan to the Alberta side, as the resi- dents in that part of the town thought they would lose the name ‘‘Lloydminster’” ‘un. less they held down the post office. Mr. C.’ Bayly, Winnipeg, travelling rep- resentative for several B.C. lumber con- cerns,, has just returned from a trip throughout Manitoba and the Territories. He was up as far as Edmontonand Prince Albert. He reports business very quiet at present, everyone seeming to wait for the crop to be marketed. He says the crops all over are magnificent.

(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) 1905. lumber VANCOUVER, B.C., August 28th, —Business in connection with the industry is continuing fairly good, without any marked features. The reduction in prices inaugurated by the Coast mills a few weeks ago is still maintained, but is not the cause ofany particular increase The plan of securing compen- the loss in lower figures by in orders. sation for raising the prices of higher grades is not working to disatvantage as yet. In fact, as one of the lumbermen stated yesterday, it would be better if the same diffirence between the price of rough lumber and that of the better qualities prevailed, as more rough lumber wassold. This is the kind that is largely imported from the States and the grade that is always in the hands ot the manufacturer the longest. The supply of logs is good, but the demand only fair. There is little or no demand for cedar. Fir and spruce booms are coming in in good numbers, and are disposed of without considerable delay. Prices have not been altered during the last two weeks. The export trade is not marked by any feature worthy of note. One or two charters have been reported in addition to vessels now loading at the Hastings mills and at Chemainus. The business is fair but by no means brisk. There is a story to the effect that the Ludgates are arranging for the establishment of.a mill on English Bay exclusively for the export trade, but no confirmation is obtainable. There is a likelihood of truth in it, as a large number of Americans are preparing for the future demand by erecting mills on convenient coast waters, The assignment of Mr. A. Haslam,’ of Nanaimo, lumber industry reported fer along period. The liabilities are expected to exceed $150,000, which includes. about $42,000 for wages. The trouble is said to haye been the disastrous fire which completely destroyed the plant about two, years ago. Mr Haslam is one of the pioneers of the lumber business in British Columbia, and when fire had crippled him he had succeeded by steady energetic effort in creating a large business. He is one of the promin- ent citizens On the coast, having repre- sented Nanaimo in the Dominion Parlia- ment and was also Mayor of Nanaimo. Reports from the Interior are that good trade is being enjoyed by the millmen, though an increase is looked for when ‘the wheat crop in the Northwest is thorough- ly assured as safe. Forest ‘fires ‘have donea large amount of damage, prin-— cipally in standing The Elk Lumber and Manufacturing Company, of Fernie, had severalthousand feet of cut logs destroyed. timber.

THIS PAPER REACHES REQULARLY THE PRINCIPAL LUMBER MANUFACTURERS AND DEALERS THROUGHOUT CANADA, AND WHOLESALE No. 28 CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. \ ONTARIO. The first two weeks of September have witnessed an active movement of lumber. The building requirement is still very large, the fine weather being favorable for out- door operations. The good end of pine is showing more strength than at any previ- ous time this year, a condition which, in view of the dullness of the British market, is regarded as encouraging. Stocks at the mills are sold up closely and the saw- ing season will end earlier than usual asa result of the log shortage. There does not seem to be one unfavorable feature which is likely to impair the: strength of the market. Hardwoods could easily be more active, but this, in view of the pros- perity which characterizes other branches of the trade, is almost certain to come in time. The importation of southern lumber has fallen off on account of its, advance and the few dealers who have any stocks are holding prices very firm. There is still a pronounced demand for white pine lath, which: may be attributed in part to the extensive building opera- tions. The present price of $3.75 for No. I’may seem high, but it is 75 cents less thanthe price recently decided upon by the manufacturers in the Lake Superi- or district. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. Notwithstanding the labor troubles, Building permits were issued in Montreal during the month of August to the value of $607,265, this being a gain of $136,401 over the corresponding month in 1904. There has accordingly been a good local demand for lumber at steady prices. The export trade, however, shows a falling off, which is very noticeable in respect to white pine timber. Shipments from Que- bec this year have been 1,076,000 cubic feet, as compared with 1,738,880 feet in 1904. Practically no oak has been ex- ported, while last year 235,520 cubic feet. Elm and > had been shipped by this lime. birch, on the other hand, show a con_ siderable increase over last year. New Brunswick cedar shingles are showing more activity. The average price for Extras for Boston delivery is prob- ably $3.25, although a few sales of well- known makes are reported to have been made at ten cents above this price. UNITED STATES. Taking the lumber trade as a whole, it is doubtful if conditions were ever better, In the activity of white pine, southern pine, hemlock and spruce, there is litile differ- ence, all being in exceptionally good de- mand. The East is buying white pine in Ps — at “Sg gals Se a hase a are ~ a. Ra 7) © II, considerable quantities, as the prevailing tendency of prices is distinctly upward and there is little likelihood of prospective buy- ers being able to purchase lumber at lower prices this year. Although pine has been received in large lots at Buftalo and Tona- wanda, the demand has been so great that the yards have not filled up very much. Some of the Lake Superior manufacturers are making sales at one dollar above the list price. The market for spruce is as firm as ever. Orders are being placed at the recent advance shown in our price list, with indications of a steady trade until well into the winter. Hemlock is being bought as a substitute for white pine, the low price being an inducement to use it and keep it in stock. Pennsylvania pro- ducers have made another advance in the base price of 50 cents per thousand, while long lengths have been marked up $1 to $1.50. Shingles generally are firmer and deal- ers report a steady gain in the movement. As forecasted in a recent issue, white pine lath are still soaring upwards. By recom- mendation of the price list ‘committee of the Mississippi Valley Lumbermen’s Asso- ciation, prices have been advanced another 25 cents. This brings No. 1 white pine lath up to $4.50 a thousand, mixed to $4, and No. 2 to $3.50. GREAT BRITAIN. Many opinions have been expressed re- garding the effect on the lumber trade of Great Britain of the cessation of the East- ern war. It was pointed out that as long as the war continued it was not likely that exporters would depart from the cautious attitude they had adopted, as the possibilities of other nations becoming in- volved in the struggle were by no means remote. The war was also said to be re- sponsible for forced sales by Russian shippers. These factors will now be re- moved and should cause a better feeling in the lumber trade, but it is a generally accepted view that the basis for a sus- tained improvement must be found in: lo- cal conditions. When house building be- comes more active, the joiners’ strike at Glasgow is settled, and a few. other ob- stacles removed, then the lumber market is likely to give a better account of itself. Some improvement is expected during the next three months, but whether it will be of a permanent character will depend largely upon the developments in the di- rection mentioned. There is no doubt that importers are recognizing the fact that stocks of Canadian pine and spruce deals are low for this season of the year and that they are not likely to be greatly increased.

Dealers are tairly well stocked with white pine, and as usual there is only a limited demand for spruce at this time of the year. There have been no recent arrivals of Long Cedar shingles, but the ‘‘Annie Smith”. brought 1,400,000 extra No. 1 Laying and 50,000 Clear Whites, which were sold at $1.85 and $2.50 respectively.

(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.,) OTTAWA, September 5, 1905.—The tone of the market has shown a slight improve- ment very recently from that of the past three: months. However, the change that is looked for before the close of navigation will be of more importance re- garding the amount of stock expected to be moved. The English market no doubt has had a very quieting effect on our mar- ket here. Taking the strikes and holi- days also into consideration, it could hardly be expected that there would be much doing. Now that the holiday sea- son is over and many of the strikes which have been on are being called off, and the English market sees that they have to KILN-DRIED BIRGH FLOOKING Limited Owen Sound, Ont.

WILL MAKE SPECIAL PRICES ON BROKEN LOTS 4T OUTSIDE POINTS pay a reasonable price for their stock or do without, we are bound to see better times in the near future. During the past fortnight, the domestic trade has been looking up and the con- sumption in this direction can be con- sidered fairly good. Large stocks of white pine and spruce are beginning to move, the greater bulk going to the American market. Laths and shingles are exceedingly brisk, many of the Ottawa firms having contracted their entire output, chiefly for American shipment. During the recent depression, the in- quiries for white pine have been mostly for the lower ends of the stocks, but re- cently they have turned to the better grades, and good sidings and strips have been purchased freely in fairly large quantities, the prices ruling high. Regarding the hardwood trade of this Valley, basswood and elm are moving somewhat better than earlier in the sea- _son, and considering the amount of stock now at the mills in these lines, an ad- vance in price may be looked for at‘an early date. Birch and ash continue to be freely inquired after and as stocks are very low in these lines, principally in ash, there may be an advance looked for in price. The shipments to the English patie from this district are very limited, the in- ducement from the other side being hard- ly sufficient to awaken any interest in that market ; however, in the face of this, many authorities predict that there will be quite an improvement before the close of navigation. Some of the firms are now beginning to operate up river, but find that men are very scarce. It is altogether likely that the cutting will not be heavy until after the harvest, when men will be more plen- titul. Wages are running between $28 and $30 for good log cutters. FIRES. Blue & Deschamps, saw mill owners, Rossland, B. C., recently suffered loss by fire. It isestimated that 32,000,000 feet of timber was burned by a forest fire which swept the country north of Rossland, B.C. The Elk Lumber & Manufacturing Com- pany’s saw mill at Fernie, B. C., was de- stroyed by fire on September 7th. The estimated loss is $100,000, of which more than half is understood to be covered by insurance. The mill was equipped with modern machinery. The origin of the fire is unknown. This company have been un- fortunate of late, as a large number of | logs were recently burned by a forest fire. 2 vt Samples by Planing and Matching ——IN TRANSIT—— S.

According to recent advices from British Columbia, the Government has taken action regarding the export to Puget Sound of timber cut from provincial lands by seizing, on Jervis Inlet, a boom of logs belonging to J. S. Emerson. Mr. Emerson is closing down all his northern hand-log- ging camps and paying his mea off. He will later on open two camps on Crown granted lands which he possesses, and will export timber cut from them. The failure of Andrew Haslam, saw mil] owner, of Nainamo, B.C., is one of the most important which has occurred in British Columbia for some years. Mr. Haslam assigned his saw mill, sash and door factory and timber limits to A. E. Lees of Vancouver, a former partner; Wm. Manson, of Nanaimo, accountant, and Perry D. Roe, manager of the Can- adian Pacific Lumber Company, Port Moody. The liabilities are approximately $150,000, and as assets there are besides the mill and a sash and door factory, 13,- ooo acres of timber limits at Jervis Inlet, Elk Bay, north of Seymour Norrows, and at Theodosia Arm. These limits have something like eighteen years yet to run and included in the liabilities are arrears of stumpage and dues to the Government amounting, it is said, to $12,000. In the amounts are also included a very large amount for wages, some ranging back a long period, in all reported to be $42,000. Recently a number of workmen entered a lien under the Woodmen’s Act, for wages which will give them, since the new law came into force, three months’ wages. Mr. Haslam is one of the pioneers of the country and enjoys a reputation for strict integrity. The business he has just as- signed dates back to Hudson’s Bay days in Nanaimo, and was acquired from the company by one Carpenter. Mr. Has- lam was pretty badly crippled in his _ J.B.

Orders for pine and hemlock lumber are on the increase and before the close of the building season the supply of dry stock promises to be reduced to.a very,low-point. Both manufacturers and dealers express complete satisfaction with the situation, which seems to-be ‘steadily growing stronger. That prices could be further advanced is generally admitted, but it ‘is considered the part of wisdom to discour- age undue inflation which might later on restrict the consumption. Retail dealers in Toronto are finding their facilities taxed to the utmost to supply the demand for building lumber, and'no change is looked for in the near future. The first fall of snow is likely to mark the cessation of work, although some falling off in activity may naturally be expected before that time. In the hardwoods we cannot report any improvement. The weakest feature is basswood, for which the market is very limited. Prices are this week marked down one dollar. Holders of stock are probably asking more than our quotations, but practically no sales are being made at the higher prices. Basswood at current values is cheap and some recovery would seem to bein order. Whether this will take place before next spring is uncertain, but we do not think it can be delayed beyond that time unless operacors should, unwisely, take out a large stock of logs the coming winter. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. The strike of carpenters which was inaugurated in Montreal in the Spring was terminated last week. This should havea beneficial effect upon building operations. Lumber continues to be consumed inlarge quantities. The situation in the Maritime Provinces has not improved to any extent in respect to the log supply. It was thought that the recent rains would bring out about 15,000,000 feet of logs stranded in the St. John river between Grand Falls and ere “mills are busy. — IL. Fredericton, but the latest reports are to the effect that the river has risen only a few inches and that prospects for moving the logs are not bright. Spruce lumber is firmer in price on account of the cessation of sawing operations by the mills. There is an-~exceptional demand for spruce throughout the New England States, whereas the supply of American stock at St. John is said to be less than 3,000,000 superficial feet. British specifications are not much in demand, but the tendency of prices is to harden. New Brunswick cedar shingles are stronger under the stimulus of an increased movement. Shippers are now asking $3.35 for Extras for Boston de- livery and $2.95 for Clears. The supply of both these grades is light, while a num- ber of the mills are shutting down for the winter. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA, _ The harvest of the Canadian Northwest has mostly been garnered, and an estimate of an official of the Northwest Grain Deal- ers’ Association places the total production at 91,000,000 bushels of wheat and 67,- 000,000 bushels of oats. This assures the prosperity of the Northwest for another year at least. Asthe grain is marketed the lumber demand will expand. This, ‘coupled with the building of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway and the construc- tion of over two hundred miles of new track by the C.P.R., means a period of great activity for the lumber trade. The demand should be sufficient to keep all the Canadian mills busy, but apparently the growth of the western market has invited increased competition, the Great Northern Railway having reduced its freight rates to permit ofthe Washington mills getting a share of the trade. The local demand for lumber in British Columbia is very good and most of the Building at Vancouver is active. Shingles are moving moderately at the prices adopted a short time ago. UNITED STATES, The strong position of the United States lumber market may justly be attributed in part to the extensive building operations. Twenty-seven of the leading cities show an increase in building for August of 2,628 buildings and $17,109,988 in cost, or 48 pet cent. over the same month a year ago. During the month permits were taken out for buildings aggregating: $52,- 320,811. All kinds of lumber are firm, but yellow pine is showing exceptional strength, notwithstanding that it has advanced about 25 per cent, since a year ago. Wholesale dealers at Buftalo and Tonawanda are endeavoring to advance the price of white pine gradually till it is ona par with what has to be paid for it at the GE TREE KILN-DRIED BIRGH FLOORING Planing and Matching MASON, GORD N Keenan Bros on =——IN TRANSIT & CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION mills. Cutting-up stock is said to be get- ting in light supply. The demand for spruce lumber is buoyant. Mills are re- fusing orders andthe basis of $22 for 9 inches and $24 for stock over 9 inches is regarded as purely nominal, as shippers are getting higher prices. The prediction is made that wide cargoes, which are sell- ing in New York at $28, will reach $30 before the winter. The hardwoods are showing more life. Maple has advanced to $22, 16 and $9 in the rough at lake ports, while Western maple flooring has been advanced $1.50 per thousand to a basis of $39 for clear at New York points. The demand for birch and ash is good, but the supply is plentiful. Lath prices are still climbing and are now probably the highest ever reached. No. 1 white pine lath is quoted at $5 for Chicago delivery; hemlock, $4; norway, $4.50; basswood, $4 .It is said that stocks of all kinds of lath are not over 50 per cent. of what they were at this time last year. Spruce lath was selling in New York one month ago at $3.75, while to-day - the market is quoted ata nenge of $4 to $4.52. GREAT BRITAIN. Prices of timber and lumber in the British market continue steady, with but very slight indication to advance even in the face of the strong statistical position. Spruce has hardened slightly, as previous- ly reported, and bids tair to seek a higher level before many weeks, but there seems to be an entire lack of that speculation which gives life to the market. Liverpool has this year received more lumber, com- paratively speaking, than London, but stocks at both of these important centres are lower than a year ago. What is classed as prepared boards showed a stock at London on August 31st of 7,045,- 000 pieces, but all other classes of lumber were in lighter supply. . The import of pine deals from the St. Lawrence has been only 375,000 pieces, whereas fer the same period last year 578,000 pieces had been received. London had received, up to August 31st, 1,374,000 pieces of spruce deals, as compared with 1,638,000 pieces last year. The Liverpool import of pine deals is given as approximately 21,000,000 feet, as against 26,000,000 feet in 1904. The importation of birch planks has been very heavy and it is likely to be found difficult to maintain prices. A. A. Tuthill's large sash and door fac- tory at Moncton, N.B., was burned last week. The sash and door factory of Gignac & Beland, Quebec, was partially destroyed by fire last week, the loss being $2,500. ited @ Owen Sound, O At the present time we have piled woods, and about the same quantity Owen Sound, and we should be able to i HARDWOOD, HEMLOCK AND’ PINE LUMBER We carry a full supply of dative Hardwoods algfays on hand and solicit your inquiries. outsidef points about 2,000,000 feet of Hard_ f Hafdwood, Hemlock and Pine piled here in cgst you if in the market.

St. Joun, N.B., Sept. 16th, 1905.— Since last writing there have been some heavy rains along the St. John river, but, as reports from the up-river districts are meagre and contradictory, it cannot be learned at this date whether or not there has been a sufficient rise of water to bring out any important quantity of logs. The feeling in manufacturing circles in regard to the matter is of a decidedly pessimistic nature and the opinion is freely expressed that there will be no general resumption of sawing until the first of the spring drives are rafted and have reached St. John, which will mean the first of June next, W.

RTER POWELL LAND & LUMBER CO., uma 604 Te nple Bu iding, Toronto (ILLMEN— Cash ‘wyers all kinds HARDWOODS Codes, A.B.C., sth and Lumberman’s of the property, rot valued, includes the sash and door factory and sawmill, with all appurtenances, logging camp- outfits and 12,947 acres of timber limits, leased, with a term of eighteen years yet to run. This land is estimated to yield 100,000,- 000 feet of cedar, 225,000,000 feet of fir and 8,000,000 feet of hemlock. In explaining his position, Mr. Haslam said his losses were made up chiefly of the following items :° Loss on logging camp by defective machinery, etc., $30,000 ; loss on the Jervis Inlet claim, on which he had spent $5,000, and on suit ia which he was decided not to be the owner and in which judgment was given for $10,000, $15,000; real estate losses, $23,500 ; loss on running the old mill while trying to se- cure a site for a new one, $27,000 ; in- terest on borrowed money, $15,000. These, with other losses, figured up a to- tal of about $183,000. He regretted very much the necessity for making the as- signment, but these heavy losses left him no alternative, and after considering mat- ters carefully he had concluded that with assistance he would make the following offer : To pay preferred claims and three months’ wages in full, and give thirty cents on the dollar to the rest of the credi- tors within ninety days. This proposal was discussed for some time, during which it appeared that the Royal Bank of Canada was secured by a mortgage in its claim of $35,000. Finally a motion was passed accepting Mr. Has- lam’s proposal provided he could get the consent of all creditors by signature to such proposal. The meeting then ad- journed. # j ARTHUR Ai WATT WIARTON,F/ONT.

All the good inch maple in the north country, says the Hardwood Record, Chicago, is pretty well sold, up to medium dry stock. The* Michigan Maple Com- pany, which controls a large portion of the output of hard maple, has recently advanced the price on allthicknesses of No. 1 and 2 common $1. This action really shows little advance in general maple values, but the change was made to equalizethe manifest discrepancy between the price of No. g—which under National rules is only required to cut twenty-five per cent., and which has found a ready sale at $8 for some time—and No. 2, which needs must show fifty per cent cut- ting and which heretofore has been listed at $9 at common Michigan produc- ing points. The present Michigan list on hard maple is $22 for firsts and seconds, $16 for No. 1 common and $10 for No. 2 common. There is not very much thick maple in first hands, the larger portion of it having met an advance sale mainly with Chicago jobbing houses. The trade in this stock running in five, six, eight, ten, twelve, fourteen and sixteen quarter has been a little slow during the past sixty days, but now there is every indication of a marked improvement in the demand. ® ' The holders of this class of stock will un- questionably reap a very handsome profit from their spring purchases. The im- mense sale of inch maple during the season is largely traceable to the extraordinary demand that has prevailed for maple floor- ing. I, Dean Holden, Pres, J. M. Diver, Gen’1.-Mgr.

Just as we go to press it is learned that a fire in the mill yards of the Rathbun Company at Gravenhurst, Ont., on Sep- tember 26th, destroyed about 7,000,000 feet of lumber. There was some insur- ance. The Empire Lumber Company, Limited, Revelstoke, B.C., has gone into voluntary liquidation, F. E. Sine being the liquidator. fy ; ia. ~~ CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. ONTARIO. The most notable feature of the lumber market is the remarkable demand for building material, not alone in the cities, but in the country districts as well. This will continue until checked by winter weather, for there are many buildings which have only been commenced. Hem- lock and the lower grades of pine are getting thecall. Themills have very little dry lumber, but jobbers are carrying a liberal stock, which they expect to work off to good advantage. Prices may be said to be firm, with a hardening tendency. The demand for hardwoods has not shown much improvement, although some of the mills in Western Ontario report a liberal movement. It does not seem probable that consumers are holding off inthe hope of breaking prices, which are now com- paratively low, but the fact remains that trade is dull. The result of present condi- tions will likely be a restricted input of logs the coming winter. Inquiries for lath are on the increase. American dealers are looking to Ontario, prices in the Lake Superior district having advanced toa much higher point than here. The mills are expectedto enter the winter with fewer lath than has been the case for many years. In Toronto it. has been difficult to raise the retail price, dealers who had a supply purchased below the present market price apparently being willing to give the consumer some of the benefit. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. The spruce lumber market is showing considerable strengthand conditions ap- pear to be very favorable for holders of stock. The demand from Cuba, South America andthe United States is grad- ually increasing, while the supply of lum- ber is very light. The recent rains do not appear to have greatly improved the pros- pects for getting out the logson theSt. John river, and it is generally believed that nearly all logs now in the river will be hung up until next spring. Of the ten mills in the vicinity of St. John, five are now closed down, and of “the other five only one has any quantity of logs on hand. The season is thus ending six weeks before the usual time. Operations in the woods promise to be exceptionally light. UNITED STATES. The past week has been an eventful one for the lumber trade. The market has broadened and many price advances have been put into effect. The most important action, perhaps, was taken by the Mis- sissipi Valley manufacturers, who have issued a new list taking effect September KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont.

At wholesale centres white pine has also been advanced, our Buffalo and Tonawanda list this week showing considerably high- er prices for cutting up stock, box lumber and some grades of barn. The demand for many of the lower grades is in excess of the supply. Ata meeting of the price™ list committees of the Pacific Coast and Southwestern Washington associations, held on September 15, thesecretary stated that reports from 150 mills showed an average of 48 days behind their orders, It was decided to advance the price of vertical grain flooring, fir ceiling, drop siding, bevel siding, finish, common boards, joists, and scantling and lath, . Similar action has been taken by the Wisconsin Hardwood Lumbermen’s Asso- ciation, although the advances were con- fined to rock elm and red and white oak. The maximum advance was $4 on 2% inch. and thicker rock elm. The demand for hardwoods in the east isimproving. Rough maple is somewhat overstocked, but birch is selling very readily and the prospects for basswood are said to be brightening. Lath are retaining their strength, No. 1 white pine being quoted as high as $5 f.o.b. Wiscon- sin Valley points. Hemlock lath are now, listed at $3.25 f.0.b. Wausau, Wis. GREAT BRITAIN. The Board of Trade returns show that general trade throughout Great Britain is in a very satisfactory condition. During the month of August the imports were valued at £46,862,991, an increase of £4,- 453,084, while the exports reached the record figure of $29,517,836, an increase of £3,157,956. This healthy condition cannot but benefit the lumber business, which has continued quiet longer than was expected. There are now indications of good business during the winter months. Light imports of Canadian pine and spruce continue to be the rule, and buyers are being urged to cover their requirements before the season is too far advanced. Again it is reported that spruce prices have advanced. Several cargoes are said to have been sold at Cardiff at £7 10s KILN-DRIED BIRGH FLOORING Keenan Bros., Limited Owen Sound, Ont.

There is not a large demand for Quebec oak. The first vessel to arrive from Labrador with spruce deals reached Liverpool a few days ago. The lumber is said to be ofa quality to compete favorably with the New Brunswick product. STOCKS AND PRICES. As a consequence of the burning of the mill of the Elk Lumber Co. at Fernie, B. C., the various logging camps in connec tion therewith are now shut down. A quantity of birch planks from St.John, N. B., were sold at auction at London, England, on September 14th, the price realized ranging from 6d. to 8%d. per foot. Clarke Bros. last week loaded the schooner Enterprise with 600,000 feet of lumber at Bear River, N.S., for Buenos Ayres, and the schooner Hector at Bridgewater with 550,000 feet for Cuba. The Scott Lumber Company, Frederic- ton, N.B., will start woods operations on the Upper St. John river early in October. They will take out about 12,000,000 feet for the Victoria mill and 4,000,000 feet for the Magaguadavic mill. The Davison Lumber Company, of Bridgewater, N.S., recently sold 2,500,- 000 feet of lumber to be shipped to the River Plate market and 600,000 feet for the United States, the prices received, we understand, being very satisfactory. It is the intention of this company to manufac- ture upwards of 40,000,000 feet annually. CANADIAN LUMBER SHIPMENTS. From Halifax, N.

VANCOUVER, B.C., Sept. 16th, 1905.— _ Those engaged in the logging industry are ~ much exercised just now over the action _of the Government in seizing a boom of - logs belonging to Mr. J. S. Emerson, _ which it was proposed to ship to the ‘United States. It is the old story which has been the trouble ever since the amend- % ment was made to the Land Act in tgor. Among other clauses inserted was one which read that ‘‘all timber cut on pro- _ vincial lands must be manufactured in the province,” Loggers and even the Govern- ; ment officials held that this did not pro- hibit export, and the fact that timber was constantly exported was the reason why the timber men did not test the law in the courts as was proposed when it was first announced. Hon. R. F. Green, Chief _ Commissioner of Lands and Works, takes _ the view that the law does prohibit, and CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION III. ordered the seizure of the logs. Now the matter will come before a justice of the supreme court for decision. In the meantime, the business is somewhat held up, especially that of the hand loggers, of whom a large number were cutting timber. The clause in dispute has been the subject of much discussion during the past three years, and while the Government stren- uously denied that any logs were being exported, it was a well known facf, in short the inspector here was cognizant, that cedar was constantly shipped. There is no market here for cedar, the rough particularly, just now, while it will bring from $6 to $8 per thousand in the State of Washington. Consequently, shipment has been steady. There is a fair demand for fir, the prices ruling from $5.50 to $7. Altogether, business is in fairly good shape. Ald. Heaps, the senior member of the firm of E. H. Heaps & Company, !umber and shingle manufacturers, was success- ful the other evening in having a resolu- tion passed in the City Council to have that body support the request Board of Trade and the lumbermen for a duty on lumber imported from the United States. Representations are to be made to the Tariff Commission next week, and as aresult of the motion the Vancouver City Council and the city solicitor will both be present to urge the necessity of a duty. Forest fires have been very bad in the interior this summer, though the coast has suffered less this year than last. The, Elk Lumber and Manovfacturing Com- pany, of Fernie, was the biggest loser, of the camp buildings, logging sleighs and 3,000 logs having been burned. The loss, not counting the damage to green timber, will be about $5,000. Since then the mill and plant has been, destroyed by fire, with a loss of $60,000. A combination of Puget Sound millmen is said to have been arranged for the pur- pose of manufacturing rough and finished lumber in large quantities at Vancouver. Mr. J. S. Emerson, who was recently pre- vented by the Provincial Government from exporting logs he had cut under hand- loggers’ licenses, is said to be the originator of the idea. Mr. Emerson will, it is said, bring suit against the Govern- ment for the recovery of his seized logs. If the Government should win the action and it should be determined by the courts that no logs may be exported, then the syndicate of which he is a part will take steps to manufacture the lumber at Van- couver, and rumor says that prices will be cut below those now ruling. How any profit is to be made by manufacturing and selling lumber below $10 per thousand feet can scarcely be imagined. Certain Vancouver saw mills which have been manufacturing shingles as a side line in a small way, will, according to re- port, go out of the business and devote their attention entirely to lumber. These manufacturers will still sell shingles, but they will purchase their stocks from the shingle mills at reduced prices, and by this plan will secure a reduction in their insurance rates, as shingle mills are classed as an extra hazardous risk. The shingle situation in British Columbia is steady, due to the action of the manu- TELEGRAPH POLES WANTED We buy all lengths.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION continued for another year. It was estimated on April 1 last that 125,000,000 shingles that had been bought at the low prices were in stock in the East, and that another 125,000,000 had been contracted for at the same prices, or a total of 250,- 000,000 shingles. The average annual output of British Columbia is 400,000,000 shingles, so that the production of the mills in the province this year had to be curtailed accordingly. The manu- facturers have stood firmly to their agreement. In April, May, June and July of this year 70,000,000 shingles were dis- posed of at the advanced prices as new business, and it is estimated that in the following four months there will have been another 70,000,000 disposed of, making the total 140,000,000. The earlycheap con- tracts are being filled in about the same proportion as the new business and will probably be cleaned up before the end of the year. shingles manufactured to supply the de- mand, but it appears that the over-pro- duction which has been so ruinous to the business in the past is not likely to occur under the present arrangement.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY. Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) OTTAWA, September 23, 1905. — The tone of the lumber market continues to be strong with every indication of a steadily increasing demand during the coming two months. White pine is being offered more freely and at firm prices. Shipping cull sidings are in keen demand, and many special bills are being asked for in connect- ion with building operations. Large stocks of spruce are continuing to move to the American market at fair prices. Birch and ash continue to bein keen demand, especially in the American market, with prices ruling high, and on account of the comparatively low stocks in these lines, prices are expected to go higher. Basswood and elm have had an upward tendency during the past month, and basswood is being more freely inquired for and better prices are being looked for before the close of navigation. Although ~ the hardwoods are not moving as _ briskly as pine and spruce, yet prices are firm and more activity is likely to be seen be- fore long. Lath and shingles continue to be exceed- ingly brisk and the demand exceeds the supply owing to the very extensive build- ing operations. The shipments to the English market are still very limited, but a slight improvement from this source is looked for at an early date. Some buyers are under the impression that prices will yet go lower for this and next years’ business—but this seems almost impossible on account of labor; if labor continues as scarce as it is at the present time, lumber is almost sure to take a sharp advance.

There is no abatement in the demand for lumber for building purposes, which is still of large proportions. No falling off is like- ly until cold weather hampers outdoor operations, and until then pronounced activity is almost certain to prevail. The building permits issued in Toronto to the end of September numbered 2,100, of an approximate value of eight million dollarse The factory consumption of lumber is not altogether satisfactory, although probably showing a gain as compared with last year. Conditionsgenerally areheailhy. Michigan buyers have been more numerous of late - in the Georgian Bay district, but on account of the steady demand all season, stocks are considerably broken. More or less lumber, however, is constantly chang- ing hands, and the prices are indicative of strength. The greatest demand in pine is for No. 1, 2 and 3 common and box and mill culls. Birch may be said to be lead- ing the hardwoods, which are only moder- ately active. There has been some good buying by Buffalo dealers, but the supply is plentiful. Some disposition is reported to acquire British Columbia shingles at prevailing prices, as if production is cur- tailed during the winter months an ad- vance seems more probable than a decline. White cedar shingles are selling slowly, even though offered about fifty cents below red cedars. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. The statement of timber received at Quebec up to the end of September shows a considerable decrease as compared with the corresponding period last year. Of white pine there has been received 1,167,- 240 cubic feet, as against 2,020,160 feet in 1904, or a decrease of about 75 per cent. Square pine and oak show almost as great a falling off, while elm timber alone is responsible for an increase of importance, the receipts being nearly double those of last year. Prices general- ly are firm, although some pressure is being exerted upon elm values. Long spruce lumber is moving actively for the United States market and enquiries for British specifications are on the increase, New Brunswick cedar shingles are un- changed, although a greater number of manufacturers are now holding their quo- tations at $3.35 for Extras for Boston delivery. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. The lumber market of the Canadian Northwest has reflected to some extent the improved conditions prevailing in in the State of Washington, where prices were recently advanced. The advantage = ere A fi A OA, Ld ai: ee Oe oe ae ee ‘fgr “Stars” II. CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION which may accrue to the Canadian manu- facturer from such action is that arising through the American mill men discon- tinuing their policy of slaughtering their surplus lumber on the Canadian market. Orders for lumber and shingles are being placed more freely by retailers in the rural districts in anticipation of the de- mand for improvements which will doubt- less be undertaken as the immense wheat crop is disposed of. Collections are re- ported to be a little slow, but an improve- ment is expected in the near future. UNITED STATES. The present situation is decidedly in favor of the seller of lumber. Most manu- facturers are sold largely in advance and are not pushing for business, which would seem to point to a firm market for the balance of the year. White pine ship- ments from the Lake Superior district during the month of September were in excess of the same month last year, and this remark will doubtless apply to all shipping centres. Chicago wholesalers have recently sent out new lists in which a further advance is shown on most items. Buffalo and Tonawanda dealers put a new price list in force on the first of the month which shows a considerable advance on the common grades. The hemlock business is equally as satisfactory as pine. In Chicago hemlock piece stuff is selling at $17 for 2x 4, 2x 6 and 2x 8, 12 and 14 foot lengths, while 16 foot is 50 cents higher. The spruce lumber trade of the Eastern States is in a flourishing condition and most of the mills are oversold. Hard- woods are reported to be picking up, with a fair demand for oak, birch, elm and maple. The advance in red cedar shingles has been the feature of the market. At. Washington points the ‘‘Star’ brand is quoted at $1.50 per thousand, while “Clears” are held at $1.70. At Minnea- polis quotations range from $2.40 to $2.45 and 2.85 for ‘‘Clears”. In Buffalo red cedars have experienced a boom and few dealers have a supply. It is claimed that within six weeks ‘‘Clears” have advanced 38 cents, ‘‘Perfections” ten cents, and ‘‘Eurekas” five cents. GREAT BRITAIN. The reports from the British market this week are a pleasant relief from the depres- sion which has been chronicled for more than a year past. A much healthier feel- ing seems to pervade the general business of the country, and it is freely predicted that a gradual improvement in lumber will follow. Reports from the manufacturing centres are encouraging and the ship- building industry is well employed. The only barrier to much greater activity in the near future is the dullness of house build- KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. ing, which is perhaps the main factor in the lumber demand. There is no doubt, however, that the market has turned the corner for the time being at least, and that the course of business during the next few months will be upon broader lines. The attention of the lumber trade, so far as the Canadian supply is concerned, has been largely centred upon spruce. The expect- ed upward movement has shown itself in an unmistakable manner and prices are fully five shillings per standard higher. An ordinary specification can readily be sold at £7 7s. 6d. c. i. f. Liverpool, and for the better specifications, especially with a fair percentage of 3x11, competi- tion is keen. Spruce deals seem destined to advance still further, as the stocks are light and not likely to be greatly increased during the short time between now and the close of navigation. Ireland has been buying more liberally of late. STOCKS AND PRICES. Seven schooners were last week loading lumber at Stetson, Cutler & Company’s mill at St. John, N.B., for New York. T. T. Lantalun last week sold at St. John, N.B., about 400,000 laths, being the cargo of the condemned schooner “Malabar.” Stetson, Cutler & Company were the purchasers, at $2.70 per thou- sand. , With the exception of No. 2 flooring, logs on Puget Sound were advanced fifty cents on October 1. This decision was reached at a representative meeting of loggers, held in the offices of the Washington Logging & Brokerage Com- pany on September 9. At the present time the demand for logs is strong and there is a comparatively small. surplus in storage on Puget Sound. Loggers say the situation is such as to justify the fifty cents’ increase.

NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER. (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) St.JOHN, N.B., Sept. 30th, 1905.—The prospects for getting logs from the up- river districts remains very discouraging. In the meantime little is being done in the way Of manufacturing deals. Four mills are sawing, but it is probable that two of these can only run a few days longer. In the short lumber market the flourish- ing condition of trade in spruce lath con- tinues to be a feature. Local stocks are being rapidly depleted and no important quantity is likely to be put upon the market from this port during several months to come, unless a decided and immediate change takes placein the log driving situation. The encouraging reports from all lath distributing centres, together with the scarcity of the article have stiffened local values, and, upon what quantities are available, no lower quotation could be obtainedthan $2.40 to $2.45 for dutiable and $2.65 to $2.70 for non-duti- able, f.o.b. schooner St. John.

Local stocks of high grades are low (2,000,000 would easily cover the quantity), but the poorer grades have been sluggish and theretore somewhat plentiful” The demand in the provinces for these lower grades has been brisker during the latter part of September and the manufac- turers confidently; expect to cut their stocks down to normal without difficulty before the end of the year. There arein stock of these lowgrades at this date three and one-half millions, Non-dutiable cedar shingles are quoted at this date, f.o.b. schooner St. Johns at: Extras, $2.85; Clears, $2.35; 2nd Clears, $1.85; No. 1’s, 95 cents, Dutiable cedar shingles: Extras, $2.55; Clears, $2.05; 2nd Clears, $1.170; No, 1's 95 cents. The two latter prices are those at which sales in these lines are being made for consumption in the provinces. The cedar logs now being sawn were mostly held over from last year and there are about enough available to enable the manufacturers to finish out in this line an average manufacturing season. This cedar is practically all provincial; there- fore the product of same will be dutiable. One inch merchantable spruce boards arein good demand and the heavy quantities in stock at the beginning of the season have been greatly depleted. Local values are firmer than was the case a monthago.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER. (Correspondence of THE CANADA I,UMBERMAN.) VANCOUVER, Sept. 27th, 1905.—With the bad weather which has prevailed dur- ing this month, millmea are beginning to look for a scarcity of logs. Heavy rain has fallen off and on for three weeks, a September condition which is a precedent. Heretofore this month has sometimes been all fine weather, and at others fairly so, but this year the rain has been very heavy. A well known millman, who is also interested in the logging business, stated yesterday that the indications are that logs will be scarce. The demand for them has been pretty good and witha prospect of continuance. If the weather keeps on at the present rate logs will go up in price. Nothing particular has since been heard of the action of loggers to test the provincial government law regarding ex- port, which was the subject of much dis- cussion when Mr. J. S. Emerson's boom of logs was seized as a starter. Mr. Emer- son said he would cut timber here and cut prices, but this is hardly regarded as a possibility. The shingle business continues bad. This is one part of the industry which has been in poor shape for a considerable time, and there does not seem any relief in the immediate future. On the other side of the line, an attempt has been made to boost shingle prices, but this has been done by the brokers in an effort to bolster up the industry, which is just about as bad as here. Acting under arrangement with the manufacturers of shingles exclusively, the mills which cut both lumber and shingles in the city will confine their operations to lumber, so as to give the other men a chance. The prices of shingle bolts have increased during the past couple of weeks, having gone up to $4.10 and $4.15 per cord, a jump of about 25 cents. Other prices are maintained. Lumber in not changed owing to the agreement effected among the manufacturers some time ago, and logs are firm because of the bad weather. Loggers are again protesting against a further reserve being granted to the Western Canada Pulp and Paper Com- pany, which has already a large reserve. The lumbermen look at the pulp manu- facturers something in the same way as the farmers in the Northwest regard the ranchers. The pulp men blanket whole sections to obtain the right kind of wood for pulp purposes, and included in the reserves are generally large quantities of merchantable fir, spruce and cedar. The disposal of the Palliser mills by Mr. W. C. Wells, M.P.P., to Messrs. Dick- ason and Goodman, of Kansas City, is another indication of the steady migration of the big American lumber manufacturing firms into Canada. Nearly half of the sawmilling interests in the province are now in the hands of Americans, whose methods will make a great difference in the trade of the country. The Dickason- Goodman Lumber Company proposes to install a chain of yards through the Northwest, selling direct to the consumer. This has been in contemplation by other mills, and if carried out extensively will sound the knell of the retailer’s business, except in small places.

The weather throughout Ontario has been favorable for outdoor work and building operations have con- tinued unabated. Lumber is moving freely from the yards to consumers, the volume of business being con. siderably in excess of one year ago. Some grades of white pine are in light supply and in a position to be advanced, but it is unlikely that prices will be materially changed during the winter months. It isnow said that Canadian manufacturers are getting prices at the mills almost equal to the wholesale quotations at Albany and some other Eastern points. There are no indications of weakness, and consumers are dis- posed to stock up to some extent in anticipation of a shortage before next spring. Dimension lumber is about the strongest thing on the white pine list. Hardwoods do not show that life which is so characteristic of pine and hemlock. Many dealers are turning their attention from the hardwoods to pine, finding that busi- ness is thus more easily obtained. There is, however, a tairly good de- mand for birch, elm and ash. ql, QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. The shipment of lath to the United States continues very active, with the price tendency upward. This has made up in part for the unsatis- factory condition of the shingle market, although at the present time the outlook for the latter pro- duct is much improved. Somemanu- facturers are asking as high as $3.40 for extra cedars, but sales are stil] being made at $3.30 by the smaller mills. In lumber, long stock is receiving the call, short stuff being somewhat dull. There has of late been some buying of British deals, but the high freight rates have been against any advance in prices. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. The lumber business of the West is not booming, but avery satisfac- tory trade is reported from all dis- tricts. Dealers in Winnipeg report increasing activity, especially in Alberta and Saskatchewan. With a record crop to bring in plenty of money, the farmers are contemplat- ing increasing their buildings and retailers will stock up to meet the demand. The building trade for next year looks bright and lumber will benefit accordingly. Prices are practically unchanged, but quite firm. There is a strong: demand in British Columbia for fir logs, which are selling at $7.50 per thousand feet, and in some quarters it is predicted that an advance to $9 will take place during the winter. This does not indicate lower prices for lumber. UNITED STATES. During the month of September the building permits taken outin twenty- five of the principal cities ofthe United States amountedin value to $44, 280- 595» against $29,121,328 for the corresponding month of 1904. This is an increase of 52 per cent. and indicates to some extent the excep- tional demand for lumber for build- ing purposes. Dealers in New York report that there is more business Sirs iornmen” KILN-DRIED BIRGH FLOORING CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION offered than they can take care of, the demand being greater than it has been for some years. It is apparent that lumber prices will not decline in the near future, as all over the country business conditions are singularly favorable. The demand for the common grades of white pine is as dominant as ever, although all grades are showing activity. Orders for spruce: are very plentiful notwithstanding the high price basis which has been established. There has been some improvement in hardwoods, oak, birch and rock and soft elm leading in point of demand. There is also an average movement of maple and basswood, but as the supply is very plentiful there has been no response in the direction of higher prices. Shingles are firm and conditions ‘much aslast reported. Spruce lath is stronger, the average price for Boston delivery being $3.85 for 1% inch and $4.00 for 15% inch. The receipts of shingles at Buffalo and Tonawanda have been 210,638,060, as compared with 112,109,000 a year ago. GREAT BRITAIN. Statistics show that the quantity of lumber waiting to be marketed in Great Britain is exceptionally small. The stock in the Surrey Commercial Docks at London is smaller in every description, Canadian white pine deals showing a reduction of 170,259 pieces as compared with one year ago, and spruce deals 91,630 pieces. The demand is improving, although slowly.. The better qualities of pine have been in fair request of late and buyers are more willing to meet the prices asked by dealers. Flooring is unusually strong, some shippers asking as high as £8 17s. 6d. for mixed white c.i.f. London and Liver- pool. Quebec waney pineis firm in price but the supply is plentiful. The Liverpool stock on September 30th stood at 166,000 cubic feet, which is slightly more than amonth previous. Reference to the spruce market is made elsewhere, « STOCKS AND PRICES. A.E. Jessop, Secretary-Treasurer of the Revelstoke Lumber Company, Revelstoke, B. C., says that their cut this year was about 5,000,000 feet, consisting of fir, cedar and spruce, two-thirds being cedar. F. McGibbon & Sons, of Sarnia, Ont., have been awarded the con- tract to furnish all the lumber re- quired for the new stations, freight sheds and platforms of the Guelph- Goderich extension of the C. P. R. There will be in the neighborhood of fifteen stations on the new line, together with freight sheds, plat- forms and other buildings. About fifty men were employed at Mitchell’s boom, Fredericton, N.B., during the past week, and 453 joints of logs were rafted. The lot was made up of about 4,000,000 feet, and is mostly off the Cunliff and Aitken drives, having all been sold _ to the Stetson, Cutler Company, of St. John, by whom it is to be sawed. ° Regarding the cut on the upper St. John, a prominent lumberman says he does not believe there will be as heavy a cut this winter as last. There are others who differ with this Opinion, as although there are 4o,- 000,000 feet or more of stranded lumber in the river, there is none in the booms this year, and in the fall of 1904 about 30,000,000 feet were left in the booms. ; SPRUCE IN ENGLAND. The sharp rise in freight rates from the Canadian ports, as may be expected, has had the effect of en- hancing spruce values. We hear that a cargo of Labrador spruce,and another of Campbellton, have been sold to the Bristol Channel at prices which show a return of £8 c.i.f. for the 7 in. and up, but in each case the specification was of a better class than usual. We hear of another sale to the same district of a Grand Pabos cargo at afew shillings less money. For a fairly large Miramichi cargo of Snowball’s manufacture, the specification of which is nothing out of the ordinary, we hear that ship- pers are asking as high as£8 ss., an announcement which will stagger consumers who have still contracts to place. Itis.a long time since such prices were asked for spruce, but shippers appear to be fairly sure of their market, and are acting ac- cordingly. Although spruce scant- lings have been shipped far too freely this season, we hear that an effort Send for Catalo J vt Samples by Keenan Bros., Limited Owen Sound, Ont.

October 18, 1905 _ BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER. ; (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) _ Vancouver, B. C., October gth, ~ 1905.— Lumber manufacturers in ‘the interior have come to realize _ that something must be done in the 4 way of fixing a fair price on their _ output and maintaining it. All season ‘ a few have been selling at lower ‘prices than the others, with the ‘result that now the industry in the _ interior is in somewhat of a demoral- ed condition. Until the crop ike estion was settled on the prairie, retailers were buying slow and beat- ve ing down figures, but since pros- perity has been assured to the con- ‘sumers of lumber in the Northwest - the market has not righted. Those who cut were mostly torced to do a 's0, because of the necessity of cash _ for payments, and it was because of this reduction that the coast manu- _ facturers made the cut of $2 or $3 in rough lumber, making it up on the higher grades. The millmen claim that the retailer has been making _ good money on the sale of lumber, while he himself has been selling _ just about at cost of production. _ Prices of logs are stiffening, though announcement has not yet been made of a material increase. With the advent of fine weather after the wet and cold of September, more timber will be taken out of the _ woods. _ John Murray, timber ranger for the provincial government, returned _ yesterday after seizing one large een nme en Liverpool and London i an LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND : CABLE ADDRE “DOBLE LIVERPOOL ! vint. ‘CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION THE ONTARIO — wate pine LumBer, LaTH AND SHINGLES.

ONTARIO. Lumber conditions could ‘not be better. The only complaint here is in respect to the shortage of’ cars for the movement of stock, which is causing the trade serious incon- venience. Manufacturers of white pine lumber report. an unusually strong demand. Some. of the largest Michigan: firms y chased conservatively ea year have come into the matt pt considerable Georgian Bay lumber, and this, with the splendid local demand, has made the situation very strong. Conditions in the Ottawa Valley are much the same as in Western Ontario. Although the Ottawa mills have this year cut more stock than usual for the do- mestic and United States trade, the quantity which will be carried into the winter is not likely to be above the average. Dealers in Toronto are working at high speed, having more orders on their books than they can con- veniently execute, as quick deliv- ery is universally requested. The planing mills are turning out finish- ing stock in large quantities, but are unable to supply the demand. Considerable finishing material, in- cluding flooring, has been shipped to Western points. Hemlock is selling very readily. In some quarters a further advance is talked of, but the trade are by no means unanimous-that such action is wise, inasmuch as it might lead to the substitution of other lumber when anything cheaper could be obtained. The lath market shows no signs of weakening notwith- standing the prevailing high prices. ee ae i in . QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. The spruce lumber market is in an exceptionally strong position in “respect to every class of stock ex- cepting British deals. | Manufac- turers continue to receive numerous inquiries for lumber for shipment to New York, Boston and other where prices are Boston delivery éastern points, very high. For nine-inch spruce is. quoted at $23, while the price for over nine inch is $25. Some of the leading shippers are refusing orders except on a basis of $24 and $26, so that it is reasonably sure that the market will not decline this year below the lower quotations above given. It is predicted that before the close of the year spruce lumber will be selling at $30 per thousand in New York. Under the stimulus of such favorable conditions in the large consuming centres of the Eastern States, the local market is hardening and the manufacturers are looking forward to more profit- able business next year. There has been a further rise in- spruce lath, of which there is believed to be an inadequate quantity to go through the winter. Cedar shin- gles are in moderate demand, with a fair supply. Prices of Extras for Boston delivery range between $3.25 and $3.40, with Clears at $2.85 to $3. There is a scant sup- ply of Clears. MANITOBA, AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. The lumber trade of Western Canada has shown no. material change during the past week. There is a very fair demand for lumber of all kinds and the tendency of prices is to harden. The city of Winnipeg is now asking for tenders for suffi- cient lumber to meet the require- ments for the balance of the year, the firm which had the contract having exceeded the quantity agreed upon and refused to supply more lumber, except at an advanced price. Dealers in country districts are stocking up liberally in anticipation KNIGHT BROTHERS CO.

It is under- stood that a contract will ae | be placed for seven million feet” of timber for the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, and it is hoped that this order will be secured by Canadian mills. UNITED STATES. The demand for lumber in the United States shows no indication of falling off in the near future. On account of the high range of prices there is a disposition on the part of ° some dealers to refrain from pur- chasing for future delivery, but so much lumber is required for immedi- ate consumption that this disposi- tion has not visibly affected the demand. The white pine trade is limited in many instances by the ability to supply the stock. Prices continue very strong and as stocks are light no important recessions are anticipated. The spruce market is in an unsettled condition owing to the shortage in the log supply and consequent steady advance for the past three months. While in Boston the general market may be said to be onabasis of $23 for nine inch and under, and $25 for over nine inches, some dealers are said to be asking as high as $25 and $27. Spruce clapboards have not shared in the general. improvement to any extent and are still selling on the basis of $42 for extras, $40 for clears and $32 for second clears. Hemlock is very firm. The price range in Chicago is from $15 to $17. There has been some. increase jin the demand for hardwoods. Oak, ash and birch are good sellers. Buffalo has received a considerable quantity of Michigan maple, which has been against the market. There is also too much. basswood offering to permit of an advance in price at the present time. .

The outlook for the lumber market in Great Britain is distinctly brighter. The improvementin the shipbuilding trade, due to the large number of new contracts recently placed with Clyde builders, gives promise of be- ing maintained for some consider- | able time to come. There has arisen during the past two or three weeks a marked enquiry for spruce. Its position is now stronger than at any other time this year. A St. John cargo was recently sold at £8 c.i.f. London, it having been an excep- tionally good specification, namely, 50 per cent. 3 x9 and a fair propor- tion of 3x11. The recent auction sales have also reflected the improve- ment in spruce, third quality regu- lars bringing £9 5s. per standard. In some quarters a famine in certain lengths of spruce is predicted before next year’s shipments arrive. White pine deals are also showing an ex- panding demand, accompanied by a disposition to store stock in antici- pation of higher prices later on. Red pine deals are alsc considered good property. There is an upward tendency in birch planks, of which the stocks for immediate shipment are light. STOCKS AND PRICES. The City of Winnipeg, Man., is asking for tenders for a supply of lumber. The largest tow.of ‘logs ever brought across the Lake of the Woods from Rainy river was towed by the steamer Mather for the Kee- watin Lumber Company last week. It comprised upwards of 3,000,000 feet of lumber. The Long Lumber Company, of Hamilton, Ont., have purchased a large stock of logs at Novar, Ont., and will start cutting at once. They have also been successful in secur- ing the contract for 300,000 feet of spruce for the new buildings to be erected in Toronto by Fairbanks Morse Canadian Company. Messrs. Clairmonte, Man & Com- pany say of the Barbados market: There has been no arrival with lum- ber during the fortnight. White J vt Samples by —-IN TRANSIT— S.

We mentioned some weeks ago that as the Autumn advanced spruce would follow suit, and we would see a marked increase in the price of this class of goods. Judg- ing by recent events, says the Timber Trades Journal, of London, England, we think we have just- ified ourselves in the views we then expressed of the future outlook. From all ports on this coast we hear of more trade, and the better feeling mentioned by us is still main- tained, and shows an advance on the prices then ruling. We are informed that 47 7s. 6d. c.i.f. has been paid in Northern port3 for a Bay of Fundy steamer cargo, whilst in the same direction a Miramichi steamer cargo is reported to have brought more than the foregoing figures. These sales are bringing cargoes yet to come. along down to a minimum, but ship- pers are still enhancing their ideas! and are confident that be- fore the season finally closes they will not have much difficulty in ARTHUR A.

S. Emer- son, the well known logger of Vancouver, B. C. “T look for a price of $9 per thousand for fir logs before the winter is over,” he continued, ‘‘and for that reason I am storing my booms to await the rise. I have figured out that by holding my booms for a few months I can make a lot more money than if I sold them now, and really there is no quicker way of making money than by allowing the logs to remain in the water. ‘‘At present there is a strong de- mand for good fir logs at $7.50 per thousand. This is a much better price than obtained last year, when the loggers practically had to beg the millmen to take their product at from $6 to $6.50 per thousand. Last fall, and it is generally the case every fall after a fine summer, there was a surplus of logs. This year, however, the mills have been using more logs than usual, with the result that the market is practi- cally bare at the present time. “All the mills have tugs - out along the northern coast keeping tab on the loggers, and wherever they see a boom in the water they snap it up. Bad weather is coming on, and the production in the woods will fall off greatly within a. few months, but the demand for lumber will continue strong, with the result that the market will be absolutely bare in a short while. Then prices will jump, and the man with the logs will be ontop. I shall have the logs. ‘Clear cedar lumber logs are now selling for $10.50 per thousand. There is no demand for anything: . but the best cedar logs.” TIMBER LIMIT TRANSACTIONS. The Vancouver Lumber Com- pany, of Vancouver, B.C., have purchased considerable standing timber up the coast from the British Columbia Land and Investment Company. This timber was held under old leases of long standing. The same company has also pur- chased from J. C. Keith his Jervis Inlet holdings amounting to seven square miles of timber held under seven special licenses and contain- ing about 30,000,000 feet. The timber was sold for about $3.50 an acre.

Manufacturers are have every confidence in the white pine market, which they believe shows strong evidence of continued firmness. The desire of American dealers to acquire stock even at the present high price,is doubtless due to the falling off in the supply from the Lake Superior district, where there is very little lumber that has not passed out of first hands. Buffalo and Tonawanda wholesalers have been ready buyers of all the lower grades, which have been leading in point of demand all season. There is a constant enquiry for mill culls, which bring from $11 to $14 at the mill, according to location. Dead culls are worth from $7 to $o. There is not much animation to the hardwood trade and prices are somewhat irregular. Mill run bass- wood, for instance, is held by some manufacturers at $20, while others are offering it at $18 and claim that even at this figure buyers are not plentiful. The salvation of the hardwood trade would seem to de- pend to some extent upon the extent of logging operations this winter. If the output is not greatly curtailed so as to permit of the existing stock of lumber being worked off, it may be difficult to maintain prices at the present low basis, and this notwithstanding the fact that the cost of manufacture warrants an advance. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. Some of the St. John mills have resumed operations, a raft of 1,000,000 feet of logs having ar- rived from the booms and about 2,000,000 feet more being expected. There is no hope, however, of get- ting out the many millions that are hung up on the Upper St. John river, and accordingly there will be a great scarcity of lumber next spring. There has been much activ- ity in shipping to the United States, the figures for the three + “" TI. CANADA LUMBERMAN ~ months ended September 3oth being $573,175.17, as compared with $336,178.64 for the corresponding time in'1904. These periods repre- sent the shipments of lumber, clap- boards, shingles, lath, pulp wood, etc. There were received at Boston in one week recently 24 schooners from the provinces loaded with lumber, shingles and lath. The demand continues active and the available supply seems to be steadi- ly decreasing. The shingle market, on the other hand, ‘lacks ‘snap, which is the only reason why prices are not higher, as the supply is light. Extras are still offered at from $3.30 to $3.40 for Boston delivery. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. The developments of the past two weeks have been in the direction of establishing higher prices for the lumber output of British Columbia. The coast mills, it will be remem- bered, cut the price of rough lum- ber for delivery to the Northwest to $17. because the Mountain mills had reduced prices with the object of capturing the Northwest trade. ‘There was an actual loss in selling lumber at this price. The manu- facturers of the province, therefore, held a meeting in Vancouver re- cently and agreed to sell at one price, namely, $19 per thousand. This agreement is looked upon with ‘favor by the manufacturers and is likely. to ke followed by a further advance in the near future, as the Or- curs are more plentiful and as the business. is vot yet profi:able. comand trom the Northwest agri- guts dod striets as, likely *o > show aNc ee La fie sp ts are brighter, Leet qhes. tae deccnador theypast Nahi D, ycis, who.» put hased Bareh lj. bey as be minum jprice Q-4.177, show. eo able.toweal.ze a ool prolit, UNITED, STATES.

The extensive purchases of a Chicago dealer have been no small factor in sustaining prices, as it is said that about one-half of the total Lake Superior production bas thus been absorbed. Such a con- dition does not inspire much hope of lower prices during the winter months. A strong demand con- tinues at Buffalo, Tonawanda and New York, which points practically reflect the conditions existing throughout the whole Eastern States. Box and No. 1and No. 2 barn are in short supply. Hemlock sells very readily and in some districts the demand is greater than the supply. A slight change for the - better has occurred in thehardwood trade. Orders are more plentiful and prices a little firmer. There is a splendid call for plain oak, ash and birch, while elm, basswood and maple do not show as much life. White pine and norway lath are eagerly inquired for. Chicago wholesale dealers are shipping white pine lath in mixed cars at $5.25: No. 2 white pine at $4.50, No. 1 norway at $4.75, No. 1 hemlock at $4.50, and No. 2 nor- way at $4.25. GREAT BRITAIN. The improved conditions recently noted are becoming more marked. Inquiries for lumber are increasing notwithstanding the advance in prices which has taken place dur- ig the past few weeks. Transac- tions in spruce are quite numerous. The prevailing prices for spruce in the docks are £10 per standard for 3x9 inch second quality, £9 ss. for thirds, and £8 ros. for fourths. Importers are also willing to pay higher prices for stock to be deliver- ed. Two cargoes from St. John, with about 60 per cent. seven and eight inch, changed hands recently at about 47 17s. 6d. per standand, and it is» stated that for a small > KILN-DRIED_ BIRGH FLOORING MASON, GORDON & Keenan Bros., Limited Owen Sound, Ont.

The position of Quebec spruce in London and Liverpool is reported to be very strong. In second quality, 39 inch, there has been a rise of 5s. to 1os. during the past few weeks. The white pine market is firm but does not show the activity which characterizes the sprucetrade. Birch lumber is said to be slated for an advance in the near future, the supply being light. Waney pine timber, on the other hand, is slug- gish, the high price having greatly restricted consumption and induced the use of substitutes as far as pos- sible. STOCKS AND PRICES. John Brooks has moved his port- able saw mill from Kent county to Brooklyn, N. B., to saw for Charles Pickard. He expects to cut 1,500,- 000 feet. A considerable quantity of timber will be required for a new wharf to be constructed at St. John, N. B., for which D. C. Clark has secured the contract. Tbe timber to be used will'consist chiefly of hemlock, red pine and southern pine. The Big Bend Lumber Company, of Arrowhéad, B. C., have starteda largeloggingcamp at Fourteen Mile, below Revelstoke, and another ex- tensive camp is to be put in at Fost- hall Creek. The company figure on putting in three more camps the coming winter, making five in all. When blown-down white pine timber will bring $7. 50per thousand, and norway $6.50, the value of pine stumpage in the north can be ap- preciated. It also, in a way, ex- plains why No. 6 boards are selling for about $6.50 on the docks at Duluth. Two large rafts of pulp wood, which were being towed from Mus- quash to Mispec; N. B., went to pieces between Cape Spencer and Black Point and drifted out to the Open sea, The rafts belonged to the Inglewood Pulp Company and contained about 1,000,000 feet, prac- ~ tically ‘all of which will be lost to the company. wt 3 Samples by 80 St. Francis Xavier Street WHOLESALE LUMBER ‘and TIMBER | Car and Cargo Lots Only Dimension .

Vancouver, B.C., October 23rd, ¢ 1905.—Conditions in the lumber in- dustry in British Columbia are very good at present, and especi- ally does this pertain to the coast : “mills. Local demand is brisk, Northwest trade is better than for ‘many months, and the export busi- ness continues on a fairly large ‘scale. In the last letter reference was made to the large number of ships which were loading at the Hastings mill, and figures which have since been made public show that this year will be one ot the best in export the Hastings mill has had for some time. Approximately 40,- _ 900,000 feet will be sent to various _ parts of the world: At the Che- mainus mills, also, ships are con- _ stantly taking on cargo for foreign _ ports. ~ Local mills are working full time with orders. This is the time of year when trade with the middle _ west is good, and added to this is _ the great local consumption of lum- ber. Building has been going on _ apace in Vancouver this year, _ which will be one of the best on record. Heaps & Company, The Royal City Mills, the Pacific Coast _ Lumber Company, the Rat Portage _ Lumber Company and the Vancou- ver Lumber Company are all very _ busy with local orders. 4 Prices are firm, without change. ‘An advance is looked for in logs, but this may be stood off for a - WANTED We buy all lengths.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION while owing to the coups Wy weeks of very fine weather whicihas fol- lowed the wet September. Many logs will have been put in the water to supply the demand which shows as! yet no signs of decreasing. Loggers are very confident that a sharp jump will be made before long in the price. The continued poor condition of the shingle business is the only bad feature in connection with the in- dustry. While prices do not alter to any extent, the demand is com- paratively slack, without much pros- pect of immediate improvement. Much activity is displayed on Van- couver Island. Americans are to the fore in securing large tracts of timber for sawmill purposes, and when they erect mills they will cut for the export trade. Work is pro- gressing on the plant of the Seattle Cedar Lumber Manufacturing Com- pany near Clayoquot. This will be a shingle mill having the capacity of 380,000 shingles every ten hours. The E. H. Heaps Company had a bad fire last Tuesday when their dry kilns were burned with something over $10,000 loss, partly covered by insurance. The men at the mill, with the brigade, worked several hours in saving the rest of the mill. Just at the time that the alarm was given, Mr. E..H.

The structure will be of steel, and as nearly fire- proof as it is possible to make a saw mill. NEW FREIGHT TARIFF. The new C, P. R. lumber tariff on eastbound shipments from British Columbia, the conditions and terms of which were arranged in Van- couver several weeks ago, at a conference between representatives of the mills and C. P. R. freight traffic officials, took effect on Nov- ember 1. The principal concession made by the railway to the lumber- men is the granting of the fir rate of forty cents per hundred pounds into Manitoba to rough cedar ship- ments which at present take a fifty- cent rate. The firrate of fifty cents to Fort William is also to be dropped to forty-five cents. Mixing of fir and rough cedar and shingles in cars is also permitted at respective carload lot rates. SPRUCE IN ENGLAND. One week seems to bear a very close resemblance to another with regard to spruce, says the Timber Trades Journal of September 21st. The season can now be said to be practically at an end, as the steam- ers to clear with the large deck loads have all sailed from their loading ports (the Canadian law prohibiting their departure after the 12th inst.), and as far as we can learn, are practically all disposed of, the latest sale being a 1,700 stan ‘ ‘ eo »cpeabhae ae : Ve ~ November 1, 1905 —— a ‘THE PEMBROKE LUMBER CO.

WEEKLY EDITION Oe eee SN Fs Several vessels are loading at Nova Scotia ports for South America and the West Indies. New Brunswick shingles are showing more activity “and many of the sales of the past week have been made on a higher basis. Extras may be said to be established at $3.35 for Boston Lath are scarce and the demand brisk, delivery. UNITED STATES. Lumber is being moved as rapid- ly as possible from the mills to the distributing centres, the activity in shipping having caused a _ sharp ‘advance in freight rates, which now rule at $4 a thousand from Lake Superior to Buffalo and Tonawanda. Dealers seem anxious to get for- ward as much lumber as possible on of the urgent demand. Business is much larger than at the corresponding time one year ago. A new wholesale list was issued in Chicago last week in which ad- vances of from 50 cents to $1 were strips, stock boards, piece stuff and tim- bers. The White Pine Association at Buffalo is understood to be about to adopt a new list, which will doubtless show some advances. The tendency of the spruce market A tew days ago the price at Phila- ‘delphia was advanced $2 on the _ entire list, Boston prices are now strong at $24 for 9 inch and under and $25.5 dom lengths, 10 feet and up, but some wholesalers are holding their stock at $1 above these figures. The hemlock trade is very satis- factory. prices are strong on a basis of $19.50 a thou- sand. The finishing responsible for more activity in the Oak, birch and ash There is o for 10 and 12 inch ran- In the east demand is hardwoods. are selling quite liberally. ‘also a moderate movement in maple .and basswood, but prices are com- ‘ paratively weak. The movement to close down the hingle mills of the state of Wash- .ing cn is making satisfactory pro- gress, about go per cent. of all the mills having signed. Prices of red cedars are no more than steady, White cedars are in better demand and Extras are quoted at $3 whole- sale at Buffalo, The lath demand continues to expand and is not like- ly to fall off until the cessation of building operations. No. 1 white pine are selling in Chicago at $5 in carload lots and No. 1 hemlock at $4.25 to $4.50. GREAT BRITAIN. As the importing season draws to a close, the healthy condition of the British lumber market is more generally admitted. Stocks are ex- ceptionally small, and the demand is improving. The spruce market continues very firm, with higher prices for special dimensions. A Liverpool correspondent states that 48 5s. has been obtained for 7 and 8 inch by 3 inch, £9 for 9 by 3 inch, and £10 for 11 by 3 inch. There is not a large trade in white but on the other hand no weakness is apparent. Red pine is improving and prices have ad- vanced about 8s. since midsummer. Flooring is strong and many of the larger shippers are asking 5s. ad- vance on the prices cf a month ago. pine, STOCKS AND PRICES.

WILL MAKE SPECIAL PRICES ON , BROKEN LOTS AT OUTSIDE POINTS The Alfred Dickie Lumber Com- pany, of Stewiacke, N. S., are prepared to let a contract for cutting about 1,500,000 feet of lumber this winter with a portable mill. Two rafts of logs, comprising 7,- 000,000 feet, the property of the Rat Portage Lumber Company, were scattersd during the recent rough weather on Rainy Lake, near the C.N.R. bridges, but most of them were recovered. Indications point to higher prices for slack cooperage stock, as the - market has recently been cleared of considerable low grade stuff. Job- bers at Buffalo quote first-class dry elm flour barrel staves at $8.50 to $9, heading at 5% to 534 cents, and 6-foot hoops at $9.50 to $10. The Gatineau log drive reached its destination near Gatineau Point last week. When the drive started from Maniwaki, towards the end of August, there were 300,000 logs to be brought down, and of this num- ber 100,000 were in the final sweep. These nears are considerably in excess of those of 1904, and it is estimated that the ¢ontractor hand- led one and a quarter million logs for the different concerns during the year. Some 3,500,000 logs were sawn by the mills in the vicinity of Three Rivers, Que., during the season now closing. Of this number, about 2,000,0..0 were sawn by the Three Rivers mills. The remaining 1,500,- 000 were sawn by the Grand Mere and Shawinigan Falls mills. About 2,500,000 logs of last winter’s cut remain undriven in the Upper St. Maurice and its tributaries. It is estimated that. some 5,000,000 logs will be made on the St. Maurice the coming winter. Most of the New Brunswick lum- ber operators have crews in the woods. It is estimated that the cut will be somewhat less than last year. Wages are ruling high, $32 in some cases being pai: for good men. Before the shutting down of the mills some operators wanted to send in early men to the woods, and they had to bid high in wages. This, together with the fact that the men are getting a higher rate in Maite this year than last, has tended to make the wages on the Mira- michi higher.

Spruce do, THE HARDWOOD MARKET. General hardwood conditions throughout the United States, so far as the selling qualities of hard- woods go, are eminently satisfac- tory to all interested in- the trade, says the Hardwood Record. On the contrary, quite a number of lines of hardwoods are in short supply, notably plain oak, ash and chestnut. The most serious condition that confronts trade activity in hard- woods at this writing is the annual car shortage, which seems to be more severe right now than at any time in previous railroad transpor- tation history. Individual rail- roads are from 500 to 5,000 cars short of requisitions, and this state of affairs will undoubtedly last un- til the large grain and cotton move- ment ceases. Railroad men figure that lumber is not a_ perishable commodity, neither is it one for which adequate storage room can- not be provided, and therefore they say lumber can wait. General movement of freight of all classes is slow at this time on account of the congested condition of nearly every line of railroad. Even fast passen- ger trains are repeatedly held up, owing to freight blockades. There is nothing to note in special accretion or decline in the values of An application is reported to have been made for a winding-up order for the Preston-Bell Furniture, & Lumber Co., Fort Frances, Ont. ~ J.

Office, TORONTO, Cee IV. CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION November 8, 1905 NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER. (Correspondence of CANADA LUMBERMAN.) St. John, N. B., Oct. 31st, 1905. —The quiet in spruce manufacturing circles in this vicinity continues. There is absolutely no prospect now of any important quantity ot long lumber of any description being available before June 1st next at the earliest. The output ofshingles has also been materially curtailed during the last week by the cessa- tion of operaticns at one of the largest mills. While rafting opera- tions have been carried on by the Fredericton Boom Company during the last three weeks, the probable quantity of logs secured by each manufacturer does not warrant the starting of the mills this fall. This state of inaction is particular- ly unsatisfactory just at this time because of the increasing strength of the markets in most of the more important lines. Cedar shingles, which have been rather draggy all through the year, have been in better demand during October and all indications point to a greater volume of business during the text month, although this con- dition is different from what is ordinarily the case, the late fall being marked by little stimulus in this line owing to the approaching end of the building season in the New England States. The higher grades are particularly strong ; local stocks of clears and extras are prac- tically cleaned up and enough orders booked to take care of the output of the next six weeks, which will mean the end of the season for the most important cedar mills. Local values in extras and clears are slightly firmer than was the case a month ago; on the few that are for sale no less quotation could be obtained at this date than $2.95 UNITED STATES MANUFACTURERS AND WHOLESALERS | | on non-dutiable extras, and $2.45 on non-dutiable clears, f.o.b. St. John. For the lower grades the demand is somewhat slow and stocks are consequently rather heavy. These stocks of low grades consist chiefly of dutiable shingles, to which the United States markets are practi- cally barred on account of the duty, viz., 30 cents per thousand. For this reason the local manufacturers depend almost entirely upon the provincial trade to dispose of this class of goods, but this trade during 1905 has been below the average, hence the end of October finds in the vicinity of 4,000,000 of the low- er grade shingles at the local yards. 2nd Clears have been selling at $1.75 and No. 1’s at 95 cents per. M. f. o. b. St. John. The flourishing condition of trade in lath continues a feature and the situation shows no indications of a weakening of the high figures now . prevalent ; rather the tendency seems to be toward even higher prices. Localstocks arelight; 3,000,- ooo would cover all available and this quantity is shared in by half a dozen dealers. No lower quotation could be obtained on spruce lath at this date (f. 0. b. St. John) than from $2.85 to $2.95 for non-dutiable and from $2.60 to $2.70 for dutiable. Charters by schooner to New York City on lath are being made at 70 cents per M and to Boston on shingles at, 30 cents per M, with all indications pointing ‘to the probability of these figures being maintained during the balance of the season. Reinhold Anderson, lumber deal- er, Pinewood, Ont., has assigned. The shingle mill of the Fraser River Lumber Company at New Westminster, B.C., was destroyed by fire on October 24th. The loss is $12,000 and the insurance $7,- 000. The lumber barge ‘‘ Vesta” was — recently burned to the water’s edge at St. Michael’s Bay, an in- — denture of Georgian Bay. It was a large vessel and owned by W. J.

ONTARIO. The remarkable strength of the white pine situation is still univers- ally admitted. Dealers report diffi- culty in finding suitable stock to fill orders, as there is a very small quantity of the lower grades in first hands. There is also a scarcity of thick stock in the higher grades, also twelve-inch export boards. . Ship- ping to the United States is quite active, and this, with the phenomen- al local demand, is keeping dealers and manufacturers very busy. Un- fortunately, as much cannot be said for the hardwoods, which are mov- ing rather slowly, with prices very irtegular. Birch has been a. good seller all season at firm prices, but there is still a plentiful supply of dry stock at the mills. There is no improvement in the demand for bass- wood, which apparently is being al- most entirely neglected by consum- ers. In order that the basswood market may be sustained and prices held at even the present low basis, it will be necessary to curtail the production of logs this ‘winter. Common and better basswood is said to have been offered during the past fortnight as low as $18 at the mill without finding a purchaser. White pine and white cedar shingles are very quiet, and, as far as can be estimated, are losing n 44 pages} si.oo per year {The Lumberman Weekly Edition every week.

Lath prices show no indication of weakening. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. Very favorable reports come to hand from the Eastern Provinces. The better grades of lumber are be- ing bought up for export and the local grades for local consumption. In view of the strong statistical posi- tion, an advance in prices is taken as a foregone conclusion. There has been heavy buying of spruce for export to the Eastern States, where prices have advanced much more sharply than in Canada, with the result that buyers have turned their attention to this side. Stocks are being rapidly cleaned up, and ‘in some localities very little can now be purchased. There is now some prospect of getting out the 8,000,000 feet of logs stranded on the St. John river between Grand Falls and Kil- burn, but many lumbermen are of the opinion that unless the logs can be driven to the booms it would be advisable to leave them where they are rather than have them hung up at some point where they would be certain to go out with the ice in the spring. The demand for New Brunswick cedar shingles is fairly active and prices a little firmer. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. The lumber market of Western Canada is in a more healthy con- dition than for some time past. The demand is increasing and the supply at the mills and in wholesale yards is diminishing. .The Mountain Lumber Manufacturers’ Association, at a meeting last week, discussed the question of advancing’ prices, but decided to take no action before the annual meeting in January, when it is probable that a higher price list will be adopted. The shingle de- mand is very good, but stocks at the mills are still heavy. UNITED STATES. Orders plentiful and stocks hard to get, explains the situation in re- spect to the white pine market of AND WOOD-WORKER Yr II. the United States. The volume of business is restricted by the inability of manufacturers and dealers to supply the stock. There has been received at Chicago this seasona total of 1,821,415,000 feet of lum- ber, as against 1,352,292,000 feet in the corresponding period of 1904, a gain of nearly 500,000,000 feet. Tonawanda receipts are 55,000,000 feet in excess of last year. These figures reflect the strong demand which has prevailed all season. Building operations in Chicago have been 50 per cent. greater than in 1904. The dealers there have issued the new list making an advance in 6-inch fencing, 8, 10 and 12-inch stock boards, timber, joists and scantling, and lath. The price of No. 1 white pine lath in car loads is $5.25; No. 2, $4.50; No. 1 norway, $4.75; No. 2, $4.25; No. 1 hemlock, $4.50; No. 2, $3 75. The hardwood demand is largely from manufacturers, which is taken to indicate that they are carrying light stocks. Ash is moving freely and the furniture manufacturers are taking considerable quantities of low grade birch. The outlook for basswood also seems to be more promising, as several manufacturers report having made during the past month. large ‘sales GREAT BRITAIN. The outlook for, the lumber trade of Great Britain seems to be more promising than at any previous time this year. Consumption is gradually increasing as the result of a better general trade throughout the country. A Liverpool report says: ‘‘Prices in nearly direction are on an upward move and a glance at the statistics of import, consumption and stock will show all round a much improved condition compared with that of last year and even with that of last month.” The stock of Canadian pine deals in the public docks at Liverpool on October 31st was 821,000 pieces, as compared with 1,161,000 pieces every CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION in 1904. The spruce stock was 897,000 pieces, aS against 1,124,- ooo pieces last year. Pine timber also shows a diminished supply, the quantity of stock being 557 loads as compared with 868 loads in 1904. The greatest improvement has been in spruce, which has ad- vanced steadily for the past two months. A recent sale of Nova Scotia spruce deals was made at a shade over £8 per standard c.i.f. Liverpool. In hardwoods, birch may be said to be leading, although there is a very satisfactory demand for oak planks. STOCKS AND PRICES. J. Walter, of Strathcona, Alberta, purposes taking out 8,000,000 feet of logs this winter. E. W. Hogan & Sons, of Fort | William, Ont., intend taking out 75,000 ties this winter. The Cedar Valley Mill Company, of Fernie, B. C., are logging with a crew of thirty men, They expect to operate the mill continuously next season, Thomas Leask and J. J., Grady . have secured about 10,000 acres of timber limits in the vicinity of Erick- son, B.C., where they purpose build- ing a saw mill. Donald Fraser & Sons, of Fred- ericton, N.B., will cut about the usual quantity of logs this winter, notwithstanding that they are winter- ing about 10,000,000 feet. Their mills at Plaster Rock, Baker Brook and Cabanoarenow sawing shingles. The Miramichi Lumber Company, which recently acquired the timber limits and lumber property of Wm. Richards, of Chatham, N. B., have sent large crews into the woods and expect to get out about 22,000,000 feet of logs. They are operating on the Taxes river, Cain’s river, and Sisters and Rocky brooks. The Rat Portage Lumber Com- pany, of Kenora, Ont., will not take out a large quantity of ties this winter, as one or two firms’ in the Lake-of-the-Woods district have a considerable stock on hand. John W. Short has three tie camps in operation, one at Gull Bay, another at Sabaskong, and the third on the Little Traverse. D. L. Mather has several camps on Vermillion Bay. KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. KILN-DRIED BIRGH FLOORING In view of the large demand for building material, logging opera- tions in the northern part of Mani- toba are quite active this winter. T. A. Burrows has one camp in the Riding Mountains and two in the Duck Mountains, the timber to be floated down the Valley river, and one near Lake Singoosh, the timber to be sawn there this winter. Hanbury Manufacturing Company, of Brandon, have acamp on the Shell river. Mr. Sinnot has a camp in the Duck Mountains and Mr. Harper one in the Riding Mountains. The total output of logs by the above camps is expected to exceed 20,000,- ooo feet. Breckenbridge & Lund, of the Crow’s Nest Pass Lumber Company, of Wardner, B. C., are establishing three camps on the St. Mary’s river, one about four miles above Marys- ville and the other two miles above Matthews’ creek. They expect to cut about 6,000,000 feet of timber this winter and will drive the logs down into the Kootenay river and on to Wardner. Logging will also be done extensively on Cherry creek and Skookum Chuck by the Crow’s Nest Pass Lumber Company. About 40 timber locations on Skookum Chuck, Kootenay district, have been surveyed this fall and applications filed for licenses to cut timber in this district. As these will probably all be granted, Skookum Chuck will present a very busy scene this winter. The district around the mouth of White river is also receiving the attention of the loggers and about 18 applications have been made for permission to cut timber in that district. St. Mary’s lake is another objective point for loggers this year. THE GLASGOW MARKET. According to Messrs. Edmiston & Mitchells’ monthly timber circular of October 31st, business during the past month has shown considerable activity, transactions have been numerous in wood goods of nearly all kinds, and this, too, in spite of a smart advance in prices in some instances. In sympathy with the rise in freights, spruce has advanced sharply, and the same may be said of pitch pine to an even greater, extent, while still higher prices are predicted in the near future. The statistical position on this side certainly favors this view, and it only requires active trade conditions Send for Catalo Keenan Bros., Limited Owen Sound, Ont.

The weather has been fine, building operations have continued in large: volume, and conditions generally have favored the consump- tion of lumber: Never before, per- haps, has there been such a liberal “demand at this season ‘of the ‘year for pine and hemlock lumber. Prices are consequently stiffening, and especially on the lower grades. Some dealers are accumulating pine stocks in anticipation of a shortage and higher prices before next spring. The hardwoods, onthe other hand, " are suffering from neglect, and there seems to be very little buying be- yond immediate requirements. Un- der such conditions it is satisfactory to know that prices are riot declin- ing. This is about all that can. be » hoped for until the demand shows _ an improvement. Basswood is offer- ing at prices which, if carried over’ until the spring, would likely show. , _a fair profit, but dealers are averse to tying up capital in this lumber until the market becomes more promising. | QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. The trade of the Eastern Prov- inces is developing upon very satis- factory lines.’ Manufacturers and dealers are kept busy supplying the local and American demand, and more business could be secured if the supply were more plentiful. Prices of birch timber at Quebec hgve appreciated two cents per cu- bic foot, and now fange from 22 cents for 14 inch average to 40 cents for 18 inch, these being the _ing made above these figures. minimum and maximum figures. There is an urgent demand for spruce lumber for shipment to the United States, and with most of’ the mills closed down and their’ supply of logs exhausted, ~ lower prices tor spruce lumber between © now and next June seem almost out | of the question. doing in British deals, which are worth $13 at St. John.» UNITED STATES. tod There is not’ much ° ‘We are having a good trade and rices are advancing”, is the repl p 4 ply given by an Albany firm to our in-— quiry as to market conditions. Not- withstanding the near approach of winter, there seems to be no abate- ment in the demand tor lumber, which is showing more strength from a price standpoint than at any previous time this year. pine which was selling in Boston Canadian one month ago at $26, is now quoted . at $28.50, an advance which is some- what remarkable for this season of the year.

The exporting season from Canada is now practically closed and British importers have discovered that the heavy consignment of lumber which earlier in the season was predicted for the late fall months has not materialized. This is an indication of confidence on the part of shippers. The winter shipments by the regular liners from St. John and Halifax are also likely to be restricted owing to the sharp advance in inland freight rates, caused by the record grain crop. the British market are almost certain to cost more than the stock now on the market, and in this way act as a stimulant to prices. Spruce con- tinues to be firmly held. A cargo is said to have been sold recently for the Bristol Channel, the price realiz- ed being about £8 ros, ard for a specification containing 30 per cent. of 11 inch.

On November rith lumbering operations at Springhill, N. B., were concluded for the season. In- cluding bank logs, about 10,000,000 feet were handled at Springhill this season, whicn amount is below the average. There is now estimated to be 7,000,000 feet of logs hung up between Fredericton and Grand Falls, not including about 3,000,000 feet of bank logs which could not be rafted this year owing to low water. The Bangor Commercial says that the log output on the West Branch will be as heavy during the coming winter as it was last. Many of the operators started early and are now going on smoothly. If the season is favorable the probability is that the cut will not be far from 30,000,000 feet. Last winter the logs which came down river amounted to 27,- 000,000 feet. This is of course exclusive of the logs belonging to the Great Northern Paper Company.

The Sutherland, Innes Company, of Chatham, Ont., say: There has been some little bright- ening up in thesky of the cooperage stock market during this month, as. consumers, more especially of No. 1 stock, are running heavier than they have done for some time.

WILL MAKE SPECIAL PRICES ON BROKEN LOTS AT OUTSIDE POINTS ee en ete ay facturers are still tumbling over each other to sell stock at prices below the cost of production. The only articles which have at all felt the effect of the increased consumption are hoops, and these have stiffened up somewhat in price, although as a general thing right through the year, hoops have been in good demand and at fairly re- munerative prices. There is no doubt that the present rush will continue for some time to come, and itis only a question of a short time when better prices will be obtained for No.1 stock, and enable the manufacturers to get back at least new dollars for old ones. The outlook for lower grade stock is not very bright, especially for 2814 inch and shorter staves and mill run and No. 2 heading. The demand for this class of material is comparatively light for this season of the year. No. 2 30-inch staves have stiffened up a little in price, and they certainly should bring very much better prices than they are bringing at present, as the stocks of No. 2 30-inch staves in the country are as low as they have been for a long time, with the exception of 1903. Some of the manufacturers have already begun to figure on purchas- ing timber for another season, but find they are unable to purchase at anything like a price which will show a profit on the present basis of prices. The only thing, there- fore, they have to do is simply wait until the holders of timber will get down to prices where they can afford to buy, and it will certainly help the cooperage market generally to curtail the output in any case. While the slack barrel stock market is still in an unsatisfactory ‘condition, it is the very opposite regarding tight barrel stock. Manu- facturers of tight barrel stock are obtaining good prices for material, and the demand in some cases is much greater than the supply, more especially in the higher grades of Jiquor stock. _ THE BARBADOS MARKET.

(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) _ Vancouver, B.C., November 13th, 1905.—There is no _ gainsaying the fact that the lumber industry in all its branches is in gocd condition this fall. The demand tor lumber is brisk, mills are busy, and the scarcity of logs, which, while not stringent has been existant for some time, has created considerable activity. Locally the mills are go- ing full time, and advices from Van- couver Island are that the manu- facturers there are very pleased with the situation. Mr. J. W. Co- burn, head of the Ladysmith Lum- ber Company, which purchased the assets of Mr. Andrew Haslam, stated on Saturday that the Na- naimo mill would be in operation possibly this week, as he needed it to cut lumber for orders which he had, and which would not be sup- plied for some time had he only the Ladysmith mill to furnish product. In the interior, conditions are also good. The Bowman Lumber Com- pany, which some time ago took over the interests of the Empire Lumber Company at Revelstoke and Comaplix, is erecting a large mill at the latter point, the old plant having been found to be too small. The Big Bend Lumber Company, which has been operating a 70,000 feet feet daily mill at Arrowhead, has let the contract to the Waterous Com- pany to put in a plant to double the capacity. The Big Eddy mill near Revelstoke is being rebuilt with all possible speed, as is the new steel structure of the Elk Lumber and Manufacturing Company at Fernie. Prices are at the figure decided upon a couple of weeks ago, but there will be an increase in the SNe rT THE IMPERIAL LUMBER GO, LimiTEDg TELEGRAPH POLES WANTED > We buy all lengths.

Oswego, N.Y. J. spring. While no announcement is made locally concerning that point, at the meeting of the Mountain Manufacturers’ Association, held in Nelson last week, it was unanimous- ly decided to make a raise, probably at the beginning of the year. The excitement caused by the ex- tensive seizure under the orders of the timber inspector, R. J. Skinner, had aroused considerable interest in the case when it came up for hear- ing on Saturday last. The tugs, donkey engines and booms at Green- way Sound, belonging to Mr. J. S. Emerson, of this city, were seized on the strength of the state- ment he made that the logs were to be exported. The Act reads ‘‘that all timber cut from leased lands must be manufactured in the pro- vince,” and it was argued that the logs had not been exported. The judge held that the seizure might only be possibly justified if a tug had been attached, and ordered the release of the timber. He decided a point which has long been a con- tention, that the Act applied to hand-loggers the same as other leased land. Universal regret among millmen is expressed because of the ac- cidental death of Mr. C. B. Tait, manager of the Fraser River Lum- ber Company, who fell down stairs in his house at New Westminster on Sunday morning, 5th instant, and inflicted fatal injuries. He was a native of New York state, and leaves a daughter, the wife of Mr. T. F.

B., November 15th, 1905.—The last raft of logs from up-river leaves Fredericton on this date, operations at the booms hav- ing ended for the season. The end ot next week will find the few local mills which have been sawing shut down for the season, with one ex- ception. The owners of this latter plant have enough logs at St. John to last them until mid-December. The total output of the local mills (which, under normal conditions, would amount to from 110,000,000 sup. feet to 120,000,000 sup. feet of long lumber) has this year been much smaller than the average; from 20 to 25 per cent. of the above figures would come very near the actual shortage. The late opening of navigation last spring had the natural effect upon the length of the manufacturing season, but the most potent factor has been the extreme scarcity of logs during the last three months. Owing to the large quantities of logs which are hung in the up-river districts and which will without doubt be available for next season, the logging operations of local manufacturers will not be as large as would have been the case had the river been driven clean during the spring of 1905. To give actual figures in this regard is an impossi- bility at this date, but, in the opinion of some of those interested, this winter’s operations will total from 20 to 25 per cent. less than would be the case under ordinary circumstances. The beginning of the most important operations in the woods on the St, John river has been later this fall than has been the case for several years; many of the contrac- tors have made a start only during the last few days. The local feeling in regard to the market for English spruce deals seems to be of a decidedly optimistic character, but these expectations have to do chiefly with the future— to be exact, the sale of deals for spring delivery.

Reports from all sections of the country tell of a good pine and hemlock trade and but little falling off in the demand for building ma- terial. The month of November, however, experienced more than usual activity, and it is probable that the next two weeks will wit- ness a curtailment consequent upon the approach of the winter season. In Toronto building is still active, which is sustaining the retail de- mand for !umber. The mills are moving stock by rail as rapidly as possible, but the inability of the railways to supply a sufficient num- ber of cars is causing much incon- venience. Prices of lumber are quite as firm as last, week and promise to con- tinue on a strong basis, as the ag- gregate quantity of pine and hem- lock stock in first hands is very The hardwood trade is The recent dis- moderate. rather featureless. cussicn of the comparatively low ptice of basswood has, it is said, caused a little buying in some Tl. quarters, but values show no incli- nation to Lath are strong and the white pine variety very scarce. ‘‘ It is impossible to find a firm who have a stock on hand us from Ottawa. advance. ” is the report which reaches QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. More general strength character- izes the lumber market of the East- ern Provinces than at any previous time this year. Negotiations in connection with next year’s business suggest the probability of shippers asking higher prices for waney pine timber, while there is also a dis- position to hold birch timber for better prices. As the British market has now fallen into line, there is no weakness anywhere, and indications point to an all-round improvement in trade. There has been a sharp advance in freight rates from St. John by the winter steamers, as, owing to the better demand, ship- pers are anxious to send forward as many deals as possible. The spruce shipments from that port up to the end of October were 140,436,544 superficial feet, as compared with 152,738,255 feet in 1904. The birch shipments were 6, 188,709 feet, as against 4,802,545 feet last year. There has been a good demand for birch planks at very satisfactory prices. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. There is little falling off in the demand for lumber for building purposes and most of the mills have a considerable number of orders on their books. There is plenty of stock, however, to supply the requirements, and, statements to the contrary notwithstanding, no price. changes are likely to be - witnessed during the next few weeks. It may be that later on the mills will be compelled to advance their quotations owing to the high cost oflogs. Fir logs are now selling in Vancouver at from $7 to $8.50, and as the supply is by no means plentiful, higher prices in the near future are predicted. It is under- KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. : 3 : 4 CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION stood that the British Columbia Lumber & Shingle Manufacturers’ Association are considering the advisability of closing down the shingle mills for two months simul- taneously with the Puget Sound: This would enable the surplus product to be worked off. mills. UNITED STATES. The lumber demand is still quite insistant and apparently there are plenty of people who are will- ing to buy lumber at present prices for other than immediate require- ments. The condition of stocks is such as to remove any hope of lower prices during the winter months, while if the consumption should the present enlarged volume, it is not unlikely that some classes of stock at least will be advanced before the spring. Nearly all the northern pine product has passed out of first hands, and still the railroads and car builders are in need of stock. There is hardly any limit to the price that can be obtained for spruce for prompt delivery, but the average price may be said to be $26 for 10 and 12 inch dimension and $24 for 9 inch and under, Boston delivery. Hemlock is strong, prices for piece stuff in the Saginaw Valley ranging from $13 up, according to length. The hardwood situation is still somewhat unsatisfactory, but ap- pears to be slowly mending. Wisconsin dealers report a good demand for maple, rock elm and birch, and basswood is doing better than earlier in the year, although that is not saying much. continue at A sharp advance in the price of red cedar shingles is predicted as the result of the expected shutting down of the Washington mills. The demand in the east is strong and stocks light. Clears are re- ported to be selling in Boston and Tonawanda at $3.25 wholesale. GREAT BRITAIN.

The market has apparently taken a turn for the better, the light stocks no doubt being an important influence in bringing about this change. The stock of pitch pine at Liverpool, for instance, is only 346,000 cubic feet, as against 815,000 cubic feet last year, while at Manchester it is only 178,000 cubic feet, as against 439,- ooo cubic feet last year. Shippers are asking from 67s. 6d. to 70s. per load as aginst 52s. paid last year. Spruce and whitewood are still on the rise and eagerly sought after. The shortage in these lumbers is also very marked and promises to be still more pronounced before new arrivals next year. For 3x11 inch unassorted spruce, £9 Ios. per standard was recently realized at auction, the 3 xg inch bringing £9 5s., prices which are considered as verysatisfactory. There is a splendid demand for birch planks at advancing prices, and the scarcity of sawn laths at the mills in Sweden has caused a Sharp rise in the prices of these goods. Some shippers are asking 104d. c.i.f. London. No business for next year has been closed so far as can be learned. It is reported that some agents are asking an advance on this year’s opening prices, while importers claim that the present retail prices will not permit them to give even as much as they did last winter. STOCKS AND PRICES. Buffalo jobbers quote first-class elm flour barrel staves at $8.50 to $9 ; basswood heading, 5% to 534 cents, and coiled hsops, $9.50 to $10 for 6-foot. Charles Hawkes, of Lower Cape, N.B., has taken the contract to cut the lumber on the Turner property at Germantown for William Mackay, of St. John, N.B.

The Sims Lumber Company, of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., have con- tracted with Kerr Bros., of Calu- met, Mich., for the delivery of 200,- ooo feet of pine logs during | winter. There are fourteen inches of snow on the upper St. John river, in New Brunswick. One hundred million feet is the estimate of t cut. The average wages are abo $26 to $28 per month. The Port Renfrew Logging C pany, which for the Jast ne years has conducted logging ope tions at San Juan, west coas Vancouver Island, B.C., have their camps, all the timber on the limits having been cut. The lumber market at Boston hy says the New York Lumber Trade Journal, has been moderately active during the first half of the month | and throughout the list values are firmly held. The fine weather has been a great help to business. Spruce still causes the greatest — comment, and it is almost i impossi- ble to make quotations to cover the — market. Yards have very small — stocks. Wholesalers have taken orders for delivery during February © and later. For prompt shipment $25 and $27 are quoted, and in a few instances even higher prices _ have been paid. Spruce laths are in active demand. Even mill men have been in town looking for sup- plies. It is reported that one mill | has asked as high as $5 for 154-inch by rail, but $4.50 is the top price reported paid.

For the past few months there almost unprecedented activity in spruce lath at advancing prices and the present indications a are that the top has not yet been ony 4 reached. Boston and New York have been bidding for the supply, the prices at these points being $4.50 to $4.60 for 15% inch, $4.25 to $4.35 for 134 inch, and $4 for 1% inch. Many buyers, however, have paid the same price for 14 inch as for 154 inch in order to get » . supplies. Shipments of lath from New Brunswick have been limited only by the capacity of the mills. Every mill owner who has had the equip- ment has been sawing laths and several new mills have been put Into commission. It is estimated that there will be produced in New Brunswick and Maine this winter about two hundred million of lath. The Scott Lumber Company, of Fredericton, N. B., are installing two machines in their new mill, each of which will have a capacity of about 35,000 per day.

Smith are erecting a mill at Cross Creek, near Hartland. The present prices warrant the manufacture of lath from almost any kind of timber, although small growths of spruce is the kind usually sought after. A consider- able quantity of 24 and 30-inch spruce lath has been worked up from odds and ends about the mills too short for any other use except pulp, but these sizes have not met with favor in the Boston and New York markets. In view of the present small stock of lath throughout the Eastern States, the result of a phenomenal building season, it is probable that high prices will continue during the winter months, but the probability of the market becoming overstocked through the stimulus to production which has been given by the high prices should not be overlooked by manufacturers.

Birch planks, says the Timber News of Liverpool, Eng., have gone the notch higher, a good line having been placed to London at £8 tos. c.i.f. for shipment from St. John promptly, we understand. Sales have been made to Liverpool, where treights generally are a shade lower, at £8 5s. c.i.f. for St. John ship- ment, with Halifax a shade lower than this price. Glasgow has not as yet responded to improved values. Weare inclined to think that £8 10S., c.i.f., is the high-water mark, and that shippers and manufac- turers will not be wise in trying to force c.i.f. values above this figure, which gives them a fair return, otherwise the impetus which high prices give to production may put supply above demand and cause the inevitable. Concessions for spring shipments will likely be made, but it is too early, with the data we at present have, to form an opinion, as much will depend on the winter and what quantity of logs can be got out and hauled to the mills. We hear a good deal of no con- sumption. It will therefore be in- teresling to give and compare the figures for the 10 months of this year with the two previous years for the port of Liverpool, as culled from the brokers’ stock sheets. The figures given are: Consumption, 572,000 cub, ft. for this year, 289,- ooo cub. ft. for last year, and 487,- 500 cub. ft. for 1903, an increase of almost double the preceding year and 85,000 cub. ft. in excess of 1903 —strange, but authentic. The indi- cations, with the improved state of the tinplate trade (who are. large consumers of hardwood for boxes) and of trade generally, are more favorable than at this period last year, and it is well to bear this in mind. Prices are 20s. higher than this period last year, which must also be kept in mind. We hear of a sale of Quebec birch to London, small average, at an ad- vance on last year’s prices. BOSTON, MASS. H.

WHALEN Port ARTHUR, ONT. CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. ONTARIO. The seasonable weather has been helpful to the lumber business and as yet there is little indication of the slackening in demand which is usu- ally experienced during the months of November and December. There is a very ready market for nearly all kinds of lumber, and par- ticularly for white pine and hem-> lock. Buyers seem to have come to the conclusion that there will be no weakening of prices during the winter, and are preparing against advances that are likely to take place in the spring. Accumulation by dealers is more apparent than for some years past, which is taken to indicate a marked degree of con- fidence in the stability of the mar- ket. Finishing material is receiving the cal), the planing mills being. crowded with work. The state- ment by one of the largest dealers in Toronto that he would welcome a period of lessened activity is an indication of the extent to which their resources have been taxed during the building season. The supply of lath is not being increased, and the scarcity of the white pine variety has resulted in substitution to some extent. Hem- lock lath, for instance,! are now: finding a good demand -on the basis of $3 at the mill for No. 1. Shingles are quiet, although some orders have recently been placed for B.C. cedars. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. The demand for lumber in Mon- treal continues steady, as a considerable quantity is still being consumed for building purposes. During the month of November permits were taken out for new buildings costing $340,576. Most of the saw mills throughout the province of Quebec are closed for the season, and shipments are being made from yard stocks, The statement of timber measured at Quebec this year shows that the MBERMAN. eS eye II. quantity of waney white pine, square white pine and oak was not much more than half that of last year, while there wasa substantial increase in the quantity of elm and birch timber. The quantity of elm timber received at Quebec this year was 484,720 cubic feet, as compared with 262,800 cubic teet last year. Notwithstanding this large produc- tion, prices of elm timber show no particular weakness. The interest of New Brunswick manufacturers is at'the present time chiefly centered on spruce lath, which have reached the phenomenal price of $3.75 f..0. b. St. John. There is some activity in the “Extra” and ‘‘Clear” grades of cedar shingles, but the lower grades are quiet. “Extras” are worth $2.50 at St. John. Manufacturers show a disposition to carry over stocks in the hope of better prices in the spring. ‘MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. Reports of an improved trade in lumber reach us from Western Can- ada. Most of the mills are working te their full capacity and have orders on hand to keep them busy for some time to come. The demand from the farmers of the Northwest, asthe result of the good crops, is showing itself, while a large quantity of ma- terial is being consumed in railway construction work. Vancouver mills are said to have recently received orders for upwards of seven million feet of railway building material, but the report has not been confirm- ed at time of going to press. The placing of orders by retail dealers for next season’s supply is taken to indicate that the probability of an advance in prices is receiving con- sideration. A Brandon dealer is quoting the following prices: No. 1 dimension, $18; other grades, $14 and $16; good boards, $18; other grades, $13, $14 and $15; No. 1 shiplap, $20; good cedar shingles, 6 inch clear butts, $2.50. The shingle manufacturers of KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. Keenan Bros., CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION British Columbia held a meeting last week to consider the closing down of the mills during the months of December and January, but it is un- derstood that the proposition did not meet with favor. UNITED STATES. Following the action of the South- ern Lumber Manufacturers’ Asso- ciation in advancing prices on 12 inch boards and shiplap, fencing, flooring, siding, etc., the Wisconsin Valley manufacturers are about to issue a new list which it is under- stood will advance the price of white pine lumber from 50 cents to $2 per thousand feet. Sales have been made at the higher quotations for some weeks and the new list will bring the prices in line with what the manufacturers are actually receiving for their stock. Trade in white pine is almost buoyant, and it is expected that this demand will continue until checked by severe weather. Buffalo and Tonawanda advices state that there have been inch boards for export to Europe, and that, nothwithstanding an advance of $3 on No. 1 and No. 2 barn recently, bringing the respective quotations up to $33.50 and $29.50, the demand is reported still in excess of the supply. also there has been brisk inquiry for white pine stocks, which has re- sulted in the advances on uppers and barn boards shown in our ‘Boston quotations this week. Spruce lath prices are irregular owing to the high basis of values extensive purchases of 12 which has been established during © the past month. _Sales of 15% inch are reported to have been made in Boston at $3.80, while other dealers are quoting from $3.60 to $3.70. New Brunswick cedar shingles are a little stronger, Extras being worth $3.40. GREAT BRITAIN. It is quite evident that British buyers are willing to pay more for lumber than even a few weeks ago. KILN-DRIED BIRGH FLOORING Limited Owen Sound, Ont. HARDWOOD, TEMLOGK AND PINE LUMBER We carry a full supply of native Hardwoods always on hand and solicit your inquiries. At the present time we have piled at outside points about 2,000,000 feet of Hard- weods, and about the same quantity of Hardwood, Hemlock and Pine piled here in Owen Sound, and we should be able to interest you if in the market. WILL MAKE SPECIAL PRICES ON BROKEN LOTS AT OUTSIDE POINTS. At Boston, Those who believed that a lower range would be established and de- ferred making purchases in the hope that they might take advantage of rock bottom prices, have realized their mistake and are now stocking up for the winter and early spring re- quirements of their trade at present prices, which represent a consider- able advance. In view of the light stocks at all the important importing centres, the trade would seem to be in a sound condition and not sus- ceptible to attempts in the direction of lower prices unless something particularly unfavorable should occur. The resignation of Premier Balfour, the requisition made to Sir Henry Campbell - Bannerman to form a new cabinet, and the almost certainty of an early election, may have a tendency to unsettle business temporarily as well as to cause the adoption of a cautious policy on the part of buyers. The business inter- ests of the country, however, donot appear likely to suffer as the result of any new fiscal policy which may be adopted. STOCKS AND PRICES.

McDonald, Oliver, to take out ties in the territory west of . Marks Township; W. Miller, Port ' Arthur, to take out ties at Fire Steel | River; J. & G. Whalen, Port Arthur, to take out piles in McGregor Town- _ship; Thomas Stevenson, to take _ out ties on Whitefish River. The logging industry in British Columbia is in a very satisfactory state, from the logging point of view, prices being somewhat high for logs of good quality. The average prices prevailing at present are $9 for No. 1, $7 for No. 2, and $5 for No. 3 delivered at the mill. If the winter weather is bad it will retard logging operations and the above prices are likely to be con- siderably exceeded, butif the weather Send for Catalo ot vt Samples by WHOLESALE LU M BER Specialty : YELLOW PINE or OAK.

(Correspondence of CANADA LUMBERMAN.) _ St. Joun, N.B., December, 2, 1905. _—There is little life in the lumber trade in this vicinity either in the _ the way of shipping or manufacture ing. Logging operations in the _up-river districts are in full swing and reports from all sections in- _ dicate ideal logging weather con- _ ditions. 5 _ The flourishing condition of the _ United States markets continue to be the most conspicuous feature of the trade. The spruce lath market - still shows an eager demand and the prevalent prices are phenom- _ enally high. Sales ha.e been made _ in this line during the last month at _ figures which have netted $3.75 at - St. John, a figure which it is _ said has not been equalled since the _ civil war. No important quantity _ of lath is available at this port just _ now, practically everything in this line having been shipped clean. in- dications point to the tact that __ many small portable mills through- - out the province will be engaged _ during the winter in the manufac- * ture ot lath from the round wood. Lath of this kind are, under or- _dinary circumstances, worth 25 cents less than slab lath. Ship- _ ments from operations of this ‘kind _ at inland points are usually made by rail direct to the United States, while from mills near the coast _ shipments are invariably made by _ schooner, via St. John. Contracts _ have been made by the owners of _ some of these operations at figures _ ranging from $2.40 to $2.65 per M _ delivered at St. John. Trade in N.B. cedar shingles has _ been nominally brisk during the past month barring the low grades, WANTED We buy all lengths.

Values in “Extras” and ‘‘Clears” were a shade firmer during November than was the case during the’ previous month, but prices in this line showed none of the tendency to soar for” which other lines which are mar- keted in the United States have been lately remarkable. Two and one-quarter to two and one-halt millions of higher grades would cover all that remains to be put on the market this year, with all the important shingle manufacturing plants shut down for the season. Low grade shingles are more plentiful, stocks in this line aggre- gating to from five to five and one- half millions. Of this quantity the much greater part will be held in stock during the winter with the expectation that the local trade will be§of sufficient volume in the early spring to entirely absorb them. At this date dutiable ‘‘Extra” shingles are worth, f.o.t. St. John, $2.50 per M, and dutiable ‘‘Clears”’ $2.00 to $2.10 per M. Foreign shipments of low grades. have been extremely light during 1905, the demand seemingly run- ning almost exclusively to high grades. The local market for low grades has also been very dis- appointing and prices have been steadily hammered all through the season.

(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) VANCOUVER, B. C., November 28, 1905.—Thuse lumbermen who are not strangers to the practice of in- voking the aid ot Heaven, are pray- ing for the present fine weather to continue, so that the supply of logs will not be diminished. ‘Orders are piling in,” was the remark of a prominent lumberman the other day, ‘‘and if wet weather or the usual heavy fall fogs set in, the supply of logs would be seriously interfered with, and it is probable that several mills would have to close down.” Some millmen go so far as to state that conditions were never better. One thing, they are good, and few mills but what have all they can do at present. A number of orders for timbers for bridge build- ing are reported to have come from the Grand Trunk Pacific and Cana- dian Northern, of which the Cana-_ dian Pacific Lumber Company has secured four million feet. The Has- lam sawmill at Nanaimo, taken over by the Ladysmith Lumber Company and J. S. Emerson, in half interests each, started last week, and is run- ning full time to cut six million feet of bridge timber. Another instance of how things are is shown by an incident which occurred last week. Mr. A.. H. Henderson, superintendent of the shipyards. of the. White Pass & Yukon Railway Company at White Horse, was in the city to purchase the regular large supply of lumber required by the company. The Hastings mill is about the only one which has wharves up to which northern steamers may draw, and when Mr. Henderson applied there to Have the timber specially cut, he THE IMPERIAL LUMBER CO, Limireo says he found the company so busy with the export trade that they did not care particularly for the order. As a result of conditions here, Mr. Henderson left on Friday for Seattle, where he will buy the necessary lumber. Prices are being maintained for lumber, and as yet there is no further talk of increase, though the first of the year may see an advance. Logs are higher, with figures rang- ing from $7 to $8.50, and are stiff at that. The price of logs is gov- erned by the supply, and a week’s bad weather, which is very liable at this time of year, would run it up. So far, the weather has been very tavorable.

Pine and hemlock lumber is re- ceiving the attention of buyers to a greater extent than is usual at this season of the year, and this notwith- standing the high values that have been reached. It is apparently the Opinion of the trade that the founda- tion of the market is very firm, as dealers are more concerned about where stocks can be obtained than the prices which they have to pay. There has been no general advance during the past week, although box lumber may be said to be a little firmer on account of the steady drain upon yard stocks. The mills are carrying very little white pine, while contracts have already been closed for some of next season’s production at prices about $1 higher than one year ago. lock trade, which could be increased if the supply were more plentiful. Unfortunately, the strong position of pine and hemlock does not apply to the hardwoods, the prices of which are irregular. Thereare large stocks of birch and basswood, much of which can be purchased atlow prices, while on the other hand, dealers who have been carrying stocks purchased at higher prices appear to have every confidence that the hardwood market will recover and are therefore not disposed to sacrifice their stock. For this reason the asking prices frequently show a variation of as much as $4 per thousand feet for the same grade. This much may be said in favor of holding hardwood lumber for higher prices, that the present market price gives the manu- facturer little profit, and this may bring about a marked curtailment in the production. The lath market kas developed further strength owing to the limited There is a very fairhem- | ugly Sig che ess) wri Le ‘ a 4 s Il. supply. Mills on the Georgian Bay district are asking $3.75 for No. 1 white pine, while the mill price at Sarnia is $4.25. Retail dealers in Toronto are still selling at frem $4 to $4.25 from stock which they have been carrying and which was purchased below the present market price. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. There has been no change in Jum- ber prices in the West since the dis- count sheet was issued in Octcber. Prices are still firm in all grades and the trade are looking for an ad- vance after the first of January. The Mountain manufacturers of British Columbia state that they have about 50,000,000 feet less stock on hand than at the same time one year ago. With the prospects of a much larger demand next sea- son, there is reason to expéct an advance in prices which will give the manufacturer a _ fair profit. ‘‘ Perfection ” shingles are selling at $2.50 per thousand and No. 2 at $1.85 1.0.b. North-west po'nts tak- ing a 50 cent rate trom the Cozst. This is the wholesale price to retail dealers or commission men. Unfavorab.e weather in Mani- teba, Saskatchewan and Alberta has caused a falling off in the de- mand for both lumber and shingles and it will be difficult to book or- ders until after the turn of the year. UNITED STATES. Lumber orders in the United States are still very plentiful. If the demand is more urgent in cne section than in another, it is in the East, where stocks are. scarce. White pine at New York has ac- anced and some sizes are almost out of the market. The supply of barn boards at Buffalo and North is decidecly limited, especially Nos. 2 and 3 in 6 and 8 inch widths. While prices are unchanged from last month, it is not unlikely that the White Pine Association will decidé upon some advances in the near future, as it is thought that certain grades are still Tonawanda KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. Keenan Bros., CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION ~~ too low. The demand for white pine is likely to continue until checked by severe weather. The hemlock trade is buoyant; purchases are being freely made at present prices, which represent an advance ot $3 as compared with one year ago. Philadelphia dealers recently advanced the price one dollar per thousand. Although the base price at New York is $20, sales are being made at $1 above the market. Hardwoods are in fairly good de- mand, but are not likely to show much activity until the new year. Soft elm and rock elm find a ready sale in Chicago, New York, and Buffalo, and at the latter place the supply is scarce. Prices of maple and basswood are not strong, although the demand of late has shown a slight improvement. The shingle market is firm owing to the closing of the Washington mills for two months. Eastern dealers are not taking many orders for red cedars but are turning their attention to white pines, although the supply of this variety is also very light. Lath continues strong in Buffalo. No. 1 white pine is held at $5 and No. 1 hemlock at $4.50, and at these prices there is a good demand. GREAT BRITAIN. The betterment in the tone of the British lumber market has been sus- tained, with some classes of lumber showing exceptional strength. Among these are spruce and Firch, while there is also an increasing de- mand for small boards of all kinds. Contracts have been closed for spring delivery at prices which the importers would not emtertain a few weeks ago. Spot prices are nigher owing to the improved de- mand and light stocks. At a re- cent auction sale spruce realized the following prices: 12 ft. 3 x 4 in. second quality Quebec, £10 55s. per standard of 1,980 ft.; 11 ft. 3 x gin. second Montreal, £9 1os.; 10 to 15 ft., 3 x gin, St. John un- sorted, 49, and a shorter average KILN-DRIED BIRGH FLOORING MASON, GORDON & Cc 80 St. Francis Xavier Street WHOLESALE LUMBER and TIMBER | Limited Owen Sound, Ont.

Some attention is being given to hemlock owing to its relative cheap- ness, and a larger consumption may be expected in the near future. STOCKS AND PRICES. W. E. & C. E. Kelsey, of North Tonawanda, New York, are import- ing considerable white pine from Canada. The Wolverine Cedar Company, which recently purchased a tract of timber in the vicinity of Webbwood, Ont., have six camps in operation this winter, employing 400 men. Since navigation opened this year a total of 444,000,000 feet of lum- _ber was received at Tonawanda by “vessel, which is an increase of 42,- 000,000 over the corresponding period of last season. The Moulthrop Lumber Company have 8,000,000 feet of lumber on the dock at John’s Island, Ont., but all of it has been sold and is awaiting shipment. They have 2,000,000 feet of logs in the boom.

Now that spruce has got to w some people, not without ac amount of reason, are dispose look upon as a fancy price, we rather surprised to find, says Timber Trades Journal, of Londo Eng., that no effort is made to p hemlock into larger use. The | bability is that, coming from same district, it pays the shippe keep in the background a © which would to some extent pete with spruce and so lower th capital return which shippers 1 now be netting out of carg this latter wood. The old about the effects of giving a bad name has a certain measu applicability in regard to hem! It is a wood which possesses valuable attributes. It is grown, and a good wood to damp situations, being oe durability. It is obnoxious tor and insects. Of course, we do say but what hemlock has no bad points.

The ition of the 8,000,000 feet of below Grand Falls is none too , even if they remain where they are until spring, but as for the big drive above the talls, little a difficulty i is likely to be experienced in saving them, unless the weather conditions next spring are extra- ordinary. ° HE BRITISH COLUMBIA SHINGLE —-. *. SITUATION. Developments in connection with British Columbia shingles are being watched with much interest by ; Eastern dealers, in view of the reported purchase of four hundred _ tar-loads of shingles for shipment to Boston and other eastern points. wy t appears that Mr. R.W.

He has visited several or the mills in British Columbia and Washing- ton, but it was learned from an official source that the deal had not been concluded a few days ago. It is not improbable, however, that an order for four hundred car loads of shingles will be placed by Mr. Douglas and that it will be divided between the British Columbia and Washington mills.* This- order would represent about 80,000,000 shingles and would no doubt be regarded as an important market influence. The comparatively low price of B.C. shingles, coupled with their excellent quality, is ~ gradually creating a wider market for them. Representatives of the A. C. Dutton Lumber Company, of Springfield, Mass., are now in British Columbia and are reported to have placed an order with Vancouver mills for 4,000,000 red cedar shingles. This company are large importers of New Brunswick cedars, and the tact that they are at least negotiat- ing for a supply of red cedars would seem to indicate that the latter are growing in favor among Eastern consumers. A delegation of shingle manu- facturers from Washington last week conterred with representatives of the B.C. Shingle Manufacturers Association in respect to the closing down of the mills for two months. While the B.C. manufacturers are understood to favor a curtailment of production, no concerted action was taken. Some of the mills, however, are now closed for re- pairs and it is probable that nearly all of them will close for different TELEGRAPH POLES| ARTHURA, WATT Dealer in Hard and Soft Wood, Lumber, Lath, Shingles, Cedar Posts and fh SORE ew aM SPECIAL LOTS—100,000 of 8/4 Maple C. & B.; 18,000 4/4 Soft Maple Mill Run; 40,000 4/4 and 8/4 Birch; 12,000 4/4 Cull Ash; 16, ooo 8/4 Tam- arac, Prices on application Planing and Matching —-—IN TRANSIT— S.

The con- ditions that led to this action have been: First, annual recurrent of lack of demand for shingles during the winter months ; second, usual disorganization of working forces during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays ; third, neces- sity for overhauling plants and mak- ing repairs ; fourth, the car short- age. The shut-down will decrease the output of the mills about 1,500,- 000,000 shingles, or.7,890 cars. The following review of shingle conditions is furnished by our Winnipeg representative : While there are not many shingles moving at the present time, it is not on ac- count of the price, but the severe winter weather we are having. It is impossible for dealers to use Shingles at this season” of the year, or in fact for the next few months. We cannot understand why Coast manufacturers expect to sell either shingles or lumber during the win- ter months in Manitoba or North- West points, as the dealers state that it is impossible for them to move stock during the severe weather, and no matter what kind of inducements are offered they will not Luy shingles at this season of the year. Nearly all the dealers for some time past have been let- ting down their stocks as low as possible in order to take stock and close up their year’s business at the end of December. In some cases they place orders in January and THE IMPERIAL LUMBER CO, LIMITED “ay III. February for March shipments, but we find very few cases where they want the stock moved out until March. We have seen shipments come in earlier, but the dealers find it very difficult to unload, as it is often frozen into a solid block and requires special machinery to un- load it. We expect prices on shingles to be advanced next year,asthere have been new tariffs issued and the freight rates are higher on shingles at a great many North-west points that formerly took the same rate as fir. We look for a very great increase in the sale of shingles next season I; Dean Holden, Pres. J. M. Diver, Gen’].-Mgr. F. A. Holden, Vice-Pres. E. C.

The stocks now in the yards will be all that will be available to meet the requirements until sawing operations are resumed next spring. The question has fre- quently been asked of late whether the quantity of white pine will be sufficient, and the opinion has been expressed that a decided shortage would develop before next mid- summer. There has been such a phenomenal demand that it has been impossible for either dealers or manufacturers to accumulate any stock. This condition points to higher prices, although as an offset it may be said that among the more conservative people in the trade there is a disposition to discourage any further advance. ‘‘ Prices are high enough ” is a remark that has been made more than once during the past two months. The hardwood market is in the hands of the log producers, and upon their action will depend to a large extent whether prices improve or become further demoralized. We say demoralized, for the reason that some manufacturers are offering stock at fully $5 per thousand less than others. The present low prices should stimulate the consumption of hardwoods, and if the log production this winter is curtailed, we antici- pate some recovery in prices. If, on the other hand, the crop of logs this winter should be heavy, we would not be surprised to witness a still lower range of values. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. | The lumber trade is showing some evidence of getting on a_ winter II. basis. This is due not so much to lack of demand as to the scarcity of stock. The United States market has absorbed nearly all the suitable lumber and consequently for the next few months shipments will be light. Prices continue very firm notwithstanding that some classes of lumber are at the highest point There is not likely to be any reaction before next spring, but, if logging conditions should be favorable this winter and the drives reach the mills safely, prices may settle down somewhat. There is still great activity in lath circles. Small manufacturers have realized exceptionally high prices for stock for shipment to New York and Boston, where the demand is in excess of the supply. ever reached. Cedar shingles are quiet on the basis of $3.35 to $3.45 for Extras on Boston freight rate. UNITED STATES. The favorable conditions govern- ing the lumber trade of the United States still prevail. During the month of November permits were issued in 32 cities for buildings costing $41,365,518, as compared with $33,547,140 in the correspond- ing month of 1904. This is a gain of 23 per cent. and shows that the building requirements have been an important factor in this year’s lum- ber business. There has alsc been a heavy consumption of car material. Dealers are anticipating their re- quirements for the early part of next year and are placing orders quite freely at current prices. Not for many years have the conditions in the closing days of the year been so favorable to the holder of white-pine, southern pine, spruce, and hemlock stocks. Beyond some unexpected disaster, it does not seem that any- thing can transpire to weaken the market during the next few months. Box lumber is scarce at Buffalo, Tonawanda and New York, and prices have an upward tendency. Pennsylvania producers of hemlock have advanced the price 50 cents KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION for all points from Buffalo to Al- bany, making the base price for Boffalo $17.50. There is a considerable inquiry for hardwoods, which is likely to bring about a more active trade after the turn of the year. Plain red and white oak has the call at the present time. Chicago dealers are said to be taking some basswood in stock in the hope of better prices late. on. GREAT BRITAIN, The position of the British lumber market is admitted to be very strong owing to the light stocks. At Liverpool the shortage of Quebec pine deals as compared with one year ago is about 6,000,000 feet. Spruce deals from New Brunswick and Nova Scotia also show a large diminution, but the stock of Quebec spruce deals is almost as heavy as one year ago. The supply of Que- bec square pine is only 23,000 cubic feet, as compared with 76,000 and 128,000 cubic feet in 1904 and 1903 respectively. Oak, elm, ash and birch timber are likewise in short supply. With the demand improv- ing there is reason to expect a further advance in prices. Spruce coatinues to improve. A quantity of 3xg inch fourth quality, from Quebec and Montreal, was recently disposed of for shippers’ accqunt at 48 15s. per standard in dock, while at arecent auction sale 3x9 inch second quality brought £8 155., and 3x8 third quality in 12 feet lengths £8 10s. There. is more inquiry for pine deals. Prices at Hull are £35 to 436 per standard for first quality, £21 for second quality, and £12 10s. for third quality. Very little business for next season has as yet been closed, but it is understood that shippers are asking an advance of tos. per standard on last year’s prices. An order has been granted for winding up the North Bruce Lumber Company, of Toronto. Mr.Schmit- endorf hasbeen appointed liquidator.

The St. John River Lumber Company are arranging to carry on immense operations this coming season. They will bring out, it is said, somewhere in the vicinity of twenty-four milliom feet, and be- sides that they are reported to have seven million feet tied up in Black River, and a million tied up in the Allegash, with another drive hung up on the St. Francis. Should the ice go out with a rush in the spring the company may have trouble in catching a good deal of their lumber at their mill, which is situated on the American side of the St. John River, about thirteen miles above Grand Falls, N.B. BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER. (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) VANCOUVER, B.C., December 11th, 1905.—Pacific Coast millmen are not very anxious to cut big timbers for the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company. Many enquiries have been made, and an order has been placed with the Canadian Pacific Lumber Company for four million feet. But the price offered is too low for the manufacturers to snap at the business. Ten dollars a thousand is the figure, and the mill must guarantee that the timber does J 2 Samples by WHOLESALE LUMBER and TIMBER © Car and Cargo Lots Only 3 “ime : Dimension Timber in DOUGLAS FIR, PINE, HEMLOCK, ” YELLOW PINE or OAK.

FARWELL & SON " Successors to M’Caffrey & Farwell. Oswego, N.Y. «a * CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION Ill. So far as this port and river are concerned there will be nothing put upon the American market before June rst next, or at the very earliest, mid-May. This is owing to the fact that, with navigation of the river closed for the year, there are no logs of any description nearer than Grand Falls, that there will | be none available at St. John before the first rafting of the spring drives, which cannot reach this port before May ist at the earliest (as mention- ed in previous letters), and that all the product of the past season’s sawing has gone forward, barring some fairly large stocks of ‘‘Eng- lish” deals and some small parcels of other unimportant lines. Logging operations for local manufacturers upon the Aroostook river, where are cut most of the American logs sawn at this port, will be this winter, according to all indications, slightly heavier than has been the case for several years past, but not sufficiently so to point to any strong confidence that the boom in the United States markets will be carried over into next year. The general impression in this regard seems to be that, in the spring, with the long season of manufacturing in prospect, there is a probability that the high figures which have been prevalent in the above markets during the last few months will hot be sustained either in long lumber or lath. At any rate, there is no apparent anxiety on the part of local people to load up, at figures higher than the usual, either with raw material or the manufactured product. It is gen- erally felt that the recent soaring of prices has been rather unnatural and torn of unlooked for conditions, ARTHUR A.

This, coupled with marked activity in building circles of the New England States, could lead to but one result—extreme eagerness to buy and consequently remarkably high prices. It is improbable that after June rst next there will be any scarcity of logs and thus will be removed one of the most vital causes of the recent stimulation of the United States markets. THE BARBADOS MARKET. Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Company furnish the following review of the Barbados market: ‘“‘The fortnight has once more been marked by the entire absence of arrivals, and with stocks rapidly diminishing, the market is in an exceptionaly strong position for both white pine and spruce, as the demand for cooperage purposes has set in and there is very little here to meet requirments. The market for shingles virtually remains as last advised, the demand having been very light and stocks of both long and laying cedar being ample for all requirments.” NEW BRUNSWICK LUMBERING OPERATIONS. Extensive operations are being carried on in New Brunswick this winter on behalf of the smaller mills. At Point Wolfe, C. T. White is get- ting out his usual cut. At New Ireland, Wilbur & Wilbur are oper- ating.on a large scale and C. 1. Prescott is working a few camps in the same locality as well as at Lumsden, about eight miles from Albert. At Midway,McLellan Bros. I, Dean Holden, Pres. F, A.Holden, Vice-Pres, have set up their portable mill and Charles Stevens are lumbering nearby. J.

Fir logs have become very scarce in British Columbia, with the result that some of the millmen are turn- ing their attention to Puget Sound as a probable source of supply. J. S. Emerson, acting on behalf of himself and the Nanaimo Lumber Company, recently purchased 5,- 000,000 feet of good fir logs on Puget Sound, the first boom of which, containing approximately 800,000 feet, is expected to reach Nanaimo this week. Fir logs of average quality are worth $8.50 per thousand feet in British Columbia, and clear cedar $10.50. On the Sound the supply is greater although by no means plentiful. Ruling prices there are $5 per thousand for rough fir, $7.50 for merchantable, and $9 for floor- ing. During the month of November there were applications for thirty licenses to Cut timber on British Columbia Government lands. Thus from the first of the year there has been no variation from the steady demand for timber. BOSTON, MASS. H. D.

The Haskell Lumber Company, of Fassett, Que., have secured nearly 10,000,000 feet of logs, in- cluding pine, spruce, cedar, hem- lock, basswood and birch. They are now completing their mill and will commence sawing operations in the early spring. CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. ONTARIO. This is inventory time, when lum- bermen usually give more attention to the closing up of the year’s busi- ness than to getting orders. The resources of the manufacturers, however, have been so taxed of late that they have much stock yet wait- ing shipment, and consequently there is more than the usual activity. The usual winter falling off has been. almost infinitesimal, so great has been the demand for white pine and hemlock lumber. There are no large blocks that have not been contracted for, and the broken condition of yard stocks would indicate a scarcity before spring. The United States market is still absorbing large quantities of the middle and lower grades. The purchase of the 1906 mill cut of Mc- Lachlin Bros., Arnprior, referred to elsewhere, is no doubt the begin- ning of other important contracts which will be closed within the next few weeks. Dry hemlock is practi- cally out of the market, and orders are being received for green stock. Hardwoods are almost at a stand- still, There are no signs of imme- diate improvement in either demand or price, but if the log production is curtailed, a few weeks might bring” about a wondertul change in this respect. Lath continues to be a feature of great interest. Some manufac- turers have been asked to name a price for their 1906 output, which would indicate that a few buyers at least anticipate a continu- ance of the strong market next year. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLIUMBIA, The condition of the lumber and shingle market ot Western Canada is moderately satisfactory. Busi- ness is good for this season of the year. Agents of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway are now in British Columbia for the purpose of placing orders for bridge timber, ties, etc., but the prices which they are will- ing to pay do not as a rule appeal to the manufacturers, who have lost too much money in the past by selling their output at the cost of production. The trade with builders in Winnipeg, Vancouver and Victoria is still good, with prospects of a large demand in the spring. The shingle market is in an uncer- * ° eT Sy oe eee eae ea iets" Shay ’ Vice foal a ect ¥ vw, i “is quite urgent, © strength. “than one year ago, 3 gare It is . ever, Il. CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION “tain condition owing to the fact ‘that the selling agreement of the coast mills terminates at the end of ‘the year. While it would seem to “be in the interest of the manufac- turers to continue the agreement and thus keep the production with- in reasonable bounds, the indica- tions at time of writing are that it will be dissolved. Regardless of what transpires, however, we ex- pect shingle prices to be sustained, for there is now a very small margin of profit in the business. e UNITED STATES. The holiday season does not seem ==to- have greatly interfered with the lumber business this year. There continues to be considerable activity and buyers are making inquiries about next year’s stock. Some dealers who have this year met with “difficulty in securing a supply of lumber have gone into the woods ‘and purchased logs, which they will have manufactured under con- “tract. The call for box lumber If the weather should continue favorable to build- ing and out-door operations, there is not likely to be an immediate falling off in demand, but severe winter weather, accompanied by snow storms, would no doubt un- “favorably affect the volume of trade. The expected advance in prices at the regular monthly meeting of the White Pine Association of Buffalo ‘and Tonawanda did not materialize, but the position is one of decided Spruce is firm and in ‘scant supply, and most of the New *“’England mills are now closed down. Sales are being made above the ‘list prices. The hardwood eae is better although it ~shows no such life as pine and _spruce. Maple and basswood are overstocked and there is not much hope of higher prices until the supply is reduced by a curtailment -in production and increased con- believed, how- that there will be a good “demand tor hardwoods the coming ,,, Spring, as the prices at which they are selling should appeal to the ‘buy ers. Chicago wholesalers are asking 45:25 for No.: 1 white, pine lath f.0 b. cars Chicago, and $4.50 for "No. 1 hemlock. Because of the unusual stringency in the supply of -“iwhite pine, considerable basswood 5 ’ “KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. "LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. Keenan Bros., and white cedar lath are being dis- posed of. The tendency of shingles is towards higher prices, and with production at a very low point, the market is not likely to weaken be- fore spring. GREAT BRITAIN. While the strong statistical posi- tion of the British market is gener- ally admitted, there is a disposition on the part of importers to defer the placing of contracts until the new year. Shippers are generally asking an advance on last year’s prices, and this the importers are not inclined to pay until they feel certain of an increased consump- tion. At some ports there is con- siderable activity. Travellers in the Birmingham district are asking the following range of prices for St. John spruce: 3 x 6 inch, 48 7s. 6d. to £9 5s. per standard ; 3 be az, 49 7s. 6d. to £9 178. 6d.; 3 x 9, 410 to Gio 10s: 5°3° * 11; GIT 5s. to 411 15s. Cargoes have recent- ly changed hands at from £8 to 48 5s. c.i.f. London, the latter price being realized for a small steamer with something like 60 per cent. of 7 and 8 inch. Importers are showing more wil- lingness to contract for hemlock, which is worth about 46 5s. c.i.f. Hardwoods are, if anything, a lit- tle stronger. We understand that a few sales of birch have been made at an advance of 1d. per cubic foot on last season’s opening prices. STOCKS AND PRICES. It is reported that several Eastern dealers of white pine have contract- ed for the product of mills for the next two years, and on the present basis of values. George Taylor, of Grand Forks, B.C., has been given the contract to get out 2,000,000 feet of logs for the Keatle River Lumber Company. The logs will be cut on the limits up the North Fork. The Dominion Park Company, Street Railway Chambers, Montreal, are asking for tenders for the sup- ply of about 1,000,000 feet of rough and dressed spruce and pine lumber | to be used in the construction of an amusement park at Longue Pointe. The schooner C. S. Holmes has been chartered by the Nanaimo Lumber Company, Nanaimo, B. C., to carry lumber from that place to Mexico. This will be the second KILN-DRIED BIRGH FLOORING MASON, GORDON & CC 80 St. Francis Xavier Street WHOLESALE LUMBER and. TIMBER Limited Owen Sound, Ont.

WILL MAKE SPECIAL PRICES ON BROKEN LOTS AT OUTSIDE POINTS time in the history of Nanaimo that lumber has been shipped by water from that port. E. H. Lemay, of Montreal, has purchased the entire output of white pine to be manufactured during the year 1906 by McLachlin Bros., of Arnprior, Ont. The amount will probably exceed 50,000,000 feet. This is one of the most important contracts which has been closed for some time and is regarded as indica- tive of the strength of the lumber market. The receipts of lumber at Tona- wanda this year totalled 465,139,603 feet, an increase of 50,000,000 feet over the year 1904. The total would have been still larger if vessels in sufficient number could have* been secured during the later portion of the season to bring down all the stock that the dealers had purchased and intended moving before the | close of navigation. COOPERAGE STOCK. The Sutherland-Innes Company, manufacturers of cocperage stock, Chatham, Ont., say: ‘‘This month we can report a considerable im- provement in the cooperage stock situation. The demand for No. 1 stock is now fairly brisk, and prices have jumped up from 50 cents to 75 cents per 1000 on staves and one- half cent per set on heading, and about 50 cents per 1000 on hoops, although in some instances even more than this. We are looking for a still further increase in prices on staves and heading. Hoops we do not think there will be very much advance in, as they can be produced very quickly and in suffi- cient quantities totake care of the market. The principal demand at the present time is for sugar and flour barrel stock. “All No. 1 stock generally is in very fair demand, and if the present consumption continues it will not take long to clean up the stock at the mills. There is also consider- able demand for cement stock, but No. 2 stock is still comparatively dead. The indications are, however, that No. 2 stock will also begin to move rapidly inside a month. The situation has been in a bad condition for so long, that it is with much © pleasure we are able to report a change for the better, and it looks very much as if the change would be permanent.

A gratifying feature of late has been the increased demand for Quebec 3rd pine deals, practically all of which arriving recently found ready sale from the ship’s side, whereas earlier in the: season similar goods had, in nearly all instances, to be stored. The scarcity of imported shelving pine boards partly explains the im- proved demand. Quebec ist and 2nd pine deals have also been en- quired for, but sidings, which are more plentiful, have been rather pressed for sale. American hardwoods have been moving away pretty freely, with the exception, perhaps, of quartered oak boards, the high prices of which have tended to restrict the consumption, and have caused a run on plain oak as a substitute. The position of the market, as a whole, can be unhesitatingly des- cribed as very firm, with a tendency to higher, rather than lower, prices. Whitt Pine.—There has been no import during the month. The demand has been fairly active, and deliveries from ponds have been rather better than usual. Stocks are still ample. Prices are firm. Oak.—The demand has been quieter this month, and there have been no sales of any importance. There are, however, one or two big enquiries pending, which will bye- ARTHUR A. WATT WIARTON, ONT.

Ei_m.-—Enquiries have been more numerous, and there have been some sales of small parcels at satis- factory prices. Stocks are moder- ate. QueBEc Bircu.—The November import consists of 78 logs and 150 loads of planks. An active de- mand exists for logs, and good prices can be secured for such, but planks have been coming forward pretty freely of late, and a lot of them have gone into store, the asking price not having been ob- tainable in all cases ‘‘ex quay.” Sales of planks have been made at from 16d. to 17d. per foot. AsH.—No logs came to hand during November, and there are none on hand now for sale. No better proof of the scarcity of ash can be advanced than the fact that the logs in store, which were near- ly all old and inferior, have been cleared up without trouble, at quite satisfactory prices. Deas, &c.—The import has been on the-usual moderate scale, and the bulk of the pine and spruce deals arriving per ‘‘Liners” have been disposed of ex quay. Sidings have been arriving too freely, and the greater portion have gone into store. Stocks all over are light. Prices are firm.

The publishers of the CaNnapa LUMBERMAN have sent out a large number of blank circnlars to lumber manufacturers throughout Canada for the purpose of securing the necessary data for our annual review of the lumber trade. many of these circulars were. returned prompt- ly, but a considerable number cf manufacturers have not yet supplied the information asked for. We hope that we may receive the hearty co-operation of the trade in our efforts to compile annual statistics and that those who have not filled out and returned the circulars will do so immediately. © If any of our readers can furnish additional statistics from _ their district, they will be very much appreciated. CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. ONTARIO. ° The past week’s business in lum- ber has not been large, as travellers have been off the road and there has been a disposition everywhere to take a few days’ relaxation. White pine and hemlock men have experi- enced a season of great activity, with the demand during the fall months seemingly overtaking the supply. The advent of winter will cause a temporary lull, but it is likely to be of short duration. A brisk spring trade is now predicted and the question most discussed is how the stock of white pine can be made to meet the requirements. The mills are practically sold out and stocks carried by dealers are not Jarge.” The situation with hemlock is similar.

P Me + , Sa ue sf II. CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION overproduction of logs. Weather conditions have been very favorable for logging operations and there will no doubt be a heavy input of hemlock. The cut of white pine is not likely to vary much from last winter, while the feeling of the hardwood trade is that there should be a marked curtailment in the production of logs. In one district, for instance, it is estimated that the cut will be fully 50 per cent. less than one year ago. A number of the smaller operators have their funds tied up in lumber and are therefore not in a finaacial position to take out logs this winter even if they felt disposed to do so. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. The close of the year. finds the lumber market of Western Canada in a fairly prosperous con- dition. The stocks of retailers are not large and buying for the spring trade has already commenced to some extent. In Winnipeg, where buildings to the value of $11,000,- ooo were erected last year, there is still a ~good demand for finishing material. The building requirement is also an important factor in the demand at Vancouver. The inter- est of manufacturers is now centred on the log supply, as the scarcity previously referred to has become more pronounced. The high prices prevailing, however, will no doubt stimulate production and bring about some relief in the near future. In sympathy with the advance in the price of logs, the tendency of lumber values is to stiffen. UNITED STATES. The Southern Lumber Manufac- turers’ Association, at a meeting at St. Louis on December 27th, decided to advance all classes of lumber from $1 to $3 per thousand feet. The minimum advance was made on No. 3 boards and 8 and 10 inch- boards and_ shiplap, and_ the maximum advance on No. 2 common flooring and 34 inch ceiling. The Northwestern Hemlock Manufactur- e:’s Association took similar action at Milwaukee on December 28th, when the entire hemlock price list was advanced $1 with the following exceptions: 22 foot and longer, advanced $2; No. 3 piece stuff and 10 inch boards and_ products, advanced 50 cents. The strength of the lumber market, as evidenced by the above, is phenomenal. Sales of white pine lumber for the coming KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. Keenan Bros., season are quite numerous. Some 4,000,000 feet of No. 3 and better was recently sold at Duluth at $26.50, which is the top price yet recorded for that grade, while 6,000,000 feet of Norway was contracted for at $20. Prospects are considered bright for an excep- tionally busy winter and much attention is already being given to the acquisition of stock to meet the spring demand. Hardwoods are in the Eastern States, but advices from Wisconsin are to the effect that there is an increased enquiry for basswood, birch and maple. Log run birch brings about $17 at the mills in Wisconsin. GREAT BRITAIN. Excepting the falling off. coinci- dent with the holiday season, the lumber trade of Great Britain continues to show activity and in some kinds of stock there has been an advance. The small lots of spruce from Halifax, N.S., have been sold at 47178. 6d. c.i.f. for the usual specification. The ship- ments offering during the past month have not been of large volume nor are they expected to be heavy during January. Little business for next year has as yet been done. It is understood that shippers of pine. are demanding higher prices than last year, and this the importers are not disposedto pay. It is probable, however, that after waiting for a month or six weeks, they will conclude that they must meet the views of the Canadian manufactur- ers and shippers if they are to secure the stock, as the demand at home and in the United States is steadily increasing. STOCKS AND PRICES. George W. Murray has secured the contract for all the interior hardwood finish for the new C.P.R. Hotel at Winnipeg. The Huntsville Lumber Com- pany are paying $7 per thousand teet board measure for hemlock logs delivered on Big East River and Lakes Vernon, Fairy and Penin- sular. The Turner Lumber Company, Limited, of Toronto, have sold 5,000,000 feet of common and better lumber from their stock at Cutler,. Ont., to White, Rider & Frost, of North Tonawanda.

BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER. (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) VaANcouvEeR, B.C., December 26th, 1905.—The placing of orders for timbers for all the three big western railway companies is adding to the business of the local mills. Trade is fairly good as it is, and it is expected that orders will be com- ing in for timbers for a couple of years. Already mills are cutting - for the C.P., G.T.P. and the Cana- dian Northern Railways. Mr. A. McMillan, member of the firm of the McDonald-McMillan Company, of Winnipeg, who have contracted with the Grand Trunk Pacific for the building of the company’s brid- ges, trestle work, etc., was in the city last week in connection with the letting cf contracts for timber, and with him was Mr. T. S. Bons- field, inspector for the railway. In addition to the contracts let to the Canadian Pacific Lumber Company and the Nanaimo Lumber Company, the Rat Portage Lumber Company and Messrs. Cooke and Tait are al- so cutting timbers for the Grand Trunk Pacific. ‘“These orders have all been placed at list prices,” said Mr, T. F. Paterson, of the Canadian Pacific Lumber Company, this afternoon, “The figures run from $10 to $14 per thousand according to lengths, and all of the mills have been offered business.

Agents of the contractors building © the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway have recently been in British Co- lumbia with the object of placing orders for timber, lumber, etc., for the construction of the road. As previously mentioned, an order for about 4,000,000 feet was placed with the Canadian Pacific Lumber Company, of Port Moody, B.C., and it is understood that the full market price was obtained. The McDonald-McMillan Company, of Winnipeg, contractors for the build- _ ing of all bridges and trestle work on that part of the Grand Trunk Pacific line running from Portage la Prairie west to Touchwood Hills, a distance of 270 miles, are said to have placed additional orders, one contract alone calling for the fur- nishing of 15,00%,o00 feet of fir bridge timber. Most of this will be supplied by the Coast mills, but a portion will be secured in the Koote- nay district. It is said tbat this contract was secured in competition with the Puget Sound mill men. A contract for the piles necessary in bridge and trestle building is also reported to have been placed with the mills in Southeastern Kootenay points along the route of the Crow’s Nest Pass Railway. Fully a hun- dred car loads of piles will be required. Mr. T. F. Paterson, secretary of the Canadian Pacific Lumter Com- pany at Port Moody, was asked regarding a report that local mill men were not anxious to obtain contracts from the Grand Trunk Pacific people because of the low rates being given for timber. ‘‘Our firm has taken an order for _and Gateway. four million feet,’ said Mr. Pater- son, ‘fand I can say that the contract was exactly on the market list at the present time. As a matter of fact, the list is more likely to show an increase in price during the next few months rather than a drop in the rate. I can understand that local mills, looking for an increase in prices, may not wish to tie themselves up to very large orders just now. If the weather is bad logs will be scarce and prices will necessarily go up.” REDUCED FREIGHT RATES. A important reduction in lumber rates has taken place as a result of a joint tariff just issued by the Great Northern and Canadian Northern Railway Company effect- ive on the line of the Nelson and Fort Sheppard railway between Nelson and Waneta, and part of the Fernie branch between Swinton The new tariff gives a 33 cent rate from the points mentioned into Winnipeg and a number of Manitoba points. Here- tofore the shippers along the line had to pay a local rate of 5 cents per hundred as far as Nelson, when the C.P.R. took charge of the ship- ment at the 33 cent rate. It is understood that lumber and shingles for the Northwest and Mani oba competitive points will be hauled all the way by the Great Northern. The reduction amounts to from 60 cents to $1 per thousand feet. The receipts of lumber at Chicago in 1905 Were approximately 2,200,000,000 feet, the largest on record with the ex- ception of the year 1893, which reached 2,250,000,000 feet. Itis estimated that northern pine comprised about 35 per cent. of the total receipts. TIMBER LIMIT TRANSACTIONS. The transfer of the Mirimachi lumbery property of the William Richards Company, Chatham, N.B., to the Miramachi Lumber Company took place in New York on Decem- ber 31st. The purchase price is in the vicinity of $700,000. L, Dean Holden, Pres. J. M. Diver, Gen’l.-Mgr. F,. A.Holden, Vice-Pres.. FE. C. Barre, Ass’t Mgr The Cleveland-Sarnia Saw Mills Co., Limited.

The open winter has permit- ted building operations to proceed almost without interruption, and consequently retail stocks which were expected to carry well into the spring are already badly broken. Dealers are showing keen interest in the market and are somewhat concerned about their supplies for the coming season. United States buyers have already contracted for a portion of the 1906 production of the Georgian Bay mills and other large deals are now pending. Such transactions as have been closed show an advance on last year’s prices of from $1 to $2 per thousand feet for log run. The future of prices will depend to some extent upon the success of logging opera- tions. The weather up to the present time has been favorable for cutting, but if the winter should prove to be mild with little snow, there will be danger of the log input being cur- tailed. This would bring about a further advance in prices, whereas if a large crop of logs should reach the mills there may be some difficulty in maintaining present prices. So far as the present is concerned, how- ever, the market could not be stronger. Hardwoods are not being’ sacri- Le a ote ’ 3 i ; 0S © > es 2 . ded eter: . .

The general curtailment in logging operations has created a better teeling, as it is recognized that a decreased production next year will be a great help to the market. Many of the smaller con- cerns are cutting no logs this winter; at Powassan, for instance, where three concerns were operating last winter, no logs are being cut and the mills will be idle during the coming season. There is a consider- able stock of 1% and 2 inch maple on hand at the mills, but the inch stock has practically cleaned up by the flooring factories. White pine lath show no percept- ible weakness notwithstanding the high price. All kinds are readily saleable. A quantity of No. 3, for instance, was recently sold at an Algoma shipping point at a phe- nomenal figure. THE EASTERN PROVINCES. The year is starting out with bright prospects for the lumber trade of the eastern provinces. The annual trade returns show that the wintering stock at Quebec is excep- tionally light, that of square pine be- ing the smallest on record. An in- crease is shown in only one item, namely, elm timber, the supply of which is 360,531 cubic feet, as com- pared with 322,778 cubic feet one year ago. The stock of spruce deals is 553»243 Superficial feet, as against 822,575 teet one year ago. The Miramichi stock is estimated to be twenty millions less than last year. In view of the revival in the British market and the prospects of a con- tinuance of a large trade with the United States, the outlook for 1906 would seem to be very hopeful. Weather conditions have been very favorable for logging operations and the cut promises to be equal to or above the average. This, with the logs that were hung up last summer, should give the mills a plentiful supply of raw material. It is estimated that the log production on the Miramichi river this winter will be 80,000,000 feet. UNITED STATES. The White Pine Association of Buffalo and Tonawanda last week adopted a’ price list making an increase on a number of the better grades as well as on barn and box boards and scoots. The North Carolina Yellow Pine Association have announced an advance of KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. Keenan Bros., CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION $1.50 on bill stuff, following the finished lumber advance of $2 made a short time ago. Advances at this season of the year are unusual and are the result of the extremely healthy conditions governing the lumber market. Sales of lumber have recently been made at Duluth at top prices, this including a large lot of No. 3 shorts, 6 feet and under, 4 inches and wider, at $15.25, and a quantity of No. 3 and better from ordinary logs at $21.75, which is equivalent to about $20 for log run. Buyers are plentitul and the view is quite generally held that a marked shortage of stock will be experienced before the spring. The outlook is for another active building season, in which case there is likely to be a further appreciation in pine and hemlock values. There is not much activity in hardwoods, although prices are holding firm. Michigan maple manufacturers are reported to have advanced their prices on rough maple to $23 for firsts and seconds, $16 for common and $10 fer culls. Birch is said to be getting scarce in New York and at other eastern points, with prospects of higher prices before the spring. The scarcity of lath has not been alleviated. The high prices have stimulated the production of spruce, balsam and cedar lath and this may in time affect the market, but at the present time the undertone continues uniformly strong. The shingle trade is quiet and not likely to show much activity for two or three moaths. el ee . pee < nic) Quebec elm timber is in slightly larger supply. Broad first pine deals are selling at £33 to £35 per standard, and 11-inch from £30 to £32, ‘while second quality are bringing £19 to 420 for 11-inch and up.

The stock lists for the close of the year have reached us for Glasgow only, and here a decrease is shown in second, third and fourth quality white pine deals, red pine deals, Quebec spruce deals, and New Brunswick spruce deals.

Beyond this the lumber trade in all lines has been quiet as is usual at this season Pp - of the year. in the up-river districts tell of favor- a ‘able conditions and all indications ‘lead to the conclusion that no - difficulty will be experienced in fill- ing contracts. In the lower coun- ties operators have been until now _ somewhat hampered by the remark- _ able lack of snow which, while it is ample for yarding purposes, is not sufficient for hauling on roads. The local feeling in regard to the market for New Brunswick spruce in Great Britain continues to be of a decidedly optimistic nature. There is practically nothing tor sale in this line at this port such quan- tities as are to be seen on the erent wharves (totalling to in the nity of three and one half millions of feet) having been closed out to local commission houses.

With the bright prospects for good business in this line during 1906, it is, of course, keenly re- gretted by those interested that they are not in a position to take advantage of the stimulus of trade and also that the coming manufac- turing season will be so materially curtailed. The ideas of those who will have ‘‘English” deals to dispose of when the sawing season does begin, are apparently fixed upon higher prices in the line, and the indications are that no lower quota- tion on ‘‘English” deals of 1906 cut could be obtained, on a contract ‘Specifying say 50 per cent. 7’s and 8’s, 35 per cent. 9’s and 15 per cent. wides, than from $13 ‘to $13.25 per M sup. feet, f. 0. b. steamer St. John. The American markets are at- tracting considerable attention and developments in this direction are eagerly awaited. While there is no pronounced indication that the high prices prevalent during the last few months will not be sustained, a felling of caution is easily discernible. Spruce laths have fluctuated considerably during the last few weeks but at any time during that period could have been sold f.o.b. St. John at $3.25 per M (non- dutiable) and in some cases there is no doubt that sales could have been made at $3.50 to $3.75. Very little is offering in lath in this direc- tion. Several temporary mills are engaged in the out-lying districts in manufacturing lath from the round wood, but no important quantity will be available from these sources before mid-March. Freight rates to the United States are rather uncertain, as sailings are ARTHUR A. WATT WIARTON, ONT.

THE BRiTISH COLUMBIA SHINGLE SITUATION. Mr. A. McNair, of Vancouver, B. C., upon being interviewed, said that the shingle situation, although it had improved in the last year, was still far from satisfactory, and would have to be still further im- proved before it would be remuner- ative. The increased price of shingles has been forced upon the mills as a result of the increased price of raw material, shingle bolts having advanced seventy-five cents, and cedar logs being very high. And while the raw material is much higher in price it is also much hard- er to obtain, thus greatly increasing the expense and difficulties in mak- ing shingles. On the other hand the situation had improved some- what on account of some of the shingle mills being destroyed by fire during the year and a good many shingle machines being put out of use, and not replaced, thus lessening the danger of overproduc- tion. There was a slightly better demand from the east, the shutting down of the mills on the United States Pacific coast having prevent- ed overproduction and removed the danger of American shingles being dumped on the Canadian market. The fact that half the mills in British Columbia close down about December tst for 60 days also lessened the danger of overproduc- tion. Thus the shingle business THE IMPERIAL LUMBER CO, Limiteo SAW AND PLANING. MILLS, will be on a rather better footing in 1906 than it was in 1905, tor the curtailment of the production all season and the fact that dealers anticipating lower prices allowed their stocks to run down, ha3 left a rather limited supply of manufactur- ed shingles in sight.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. ONTARIO. Prices of white pine lumber are firmer than one week ago, in sym- pathy no doubt with the higher list recently adopted by the White Pine Association of Buffalo and Tona- wanda. The recent advance in prices has seemingly encouraged buyers, and for duplicate orders the sellers have in many cases advanced their prices from $1 to $3 per thous- and. The open winter has con- tributed in some degree to the ex- ceptional strength which the pine market has shown, but the predomi- nant influence is the widespread conviction that there will be a short- age of stock before spring. The feeling in the Ottawa Valley district, as far as can be judged, is that there should be an advance in common dumber. ‘‘We expect to get an ad- vance on the common grades, which are now out of line with the rest of the stock,’ was the remark of a prominent manufacturer to - the writery Logging conditions in the * ‘ spruce lumber. Ottawa Valley, as well as in the Georgian Bay district, have: been favorable, although better work could have. been done with’ keener weather and a firmer bottom for the roads. ; Opinions are much divided as to the outlook. for: hardwoods. . The large stocks of birch and basswood are against any immediate recovery in prices, although we believe that those who have the patience to carry their hardwoods fer two or three months will. be rewarded. QUEBEC AND NEW BSUNSWICK. The mills continue to receive in- quiries for spruce lumber: for ship- ment to the United States, but few of the manufacturers have | any stock suitable for that “market. So far as sawing operations are concerned they will for some months to come be confined to the smaller mills. Prospects’ tor the coming season, however, are considered as the brightest; as with the im- provement which has taken place in the British market there promises to be a very brisk demand for Woods operations are being carried on very success- fully and some of the operators are already counting’on having an in- creased stock of logs for next year. Among these are the Bay Shore Lumber Company, the O’Neil Lum- ber Company and A. F. Bentley. New Brunswick shingles are quiet, with no change in quotations. UNITED STATES. A good demand for lumber is re- ported from all sections of the United States, although ‘shipments are being hampered by the lack of transportation facilities. _ Every other condition is satisfactory. Large sales of norway and white pine have recently been made in the Lake Superior district at top prices, as a shortage is anticipated before the spring. Already some items are difficult to buy. Box lumber is in very light stock at Buffalo and Tonawanda, while white pine floor- ing strips 1x4 and 1x6 is the scarce item at Toledo, Ohio. Penn- sylvania manufacturers have again advanced the price of spruce lum- ber, bringing the base price at Bos- ton to $21.50. The scarcity of hemlock boards in the New Eng- land States is helping the sale of spruce. Hardwoods appear to be II. iS in better request. A correspondent states that before the new cut is in shipping condition all the dry stock will be gone. The demand for basswood is said to be increas- ing, the low price at which it can now be purchased having at last tempted buyers. Maple is quiet, with prices not strong and a con- siderable supply of thick stock at the mills. GREAT BRITAIN. The new year in Great Britain has begun with exceedingly open weather, which is favorable for the continuance of outdoor work, and as a consequence the movement of lumber ie quite large. The publica- tion of the statistics of stock on hand has helped the market, the de- crease being somewhat greater than was generally expected. The stock of pine deals in the public docks at London, for instance, show a de- crease of 258,553 pieces as com- pared with one year ago, while in spruce deals the decrease is 173,- 616 pieces. To show the relation of the decrease to the total stock we quote the figures for two years, _ given in pieces: —_) 1904 1905 Decrease White pine deals....... 462,629 204,076 258,*33 White pine battens..... 194,692 135,707 58,945 Spruce deals ........... 449,814 276,898 173,616 Spruce battens......... 459.147 381,610 77,537 Liverpool stocks also show a marked decrease in Quebec pine deals, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia spruce deals and square and waney board pine. The stock of Quebec pine deals is lower than it has been for three years. . For pine 10 per cent. advance on last year’s prices is being asked and obtained, while the advance on spruce is even greater with every prospect of its being maintained. STOCKS AND PRICES. J. J.

The cause of this se is due entirely to the in- d cost of the raw material, le bolts having advanced from ents to $1.00 per cord, which ance more than represents the the price of the shingles. The es prevailing during 1905 were so close that when the higher es for shingle bolts came into , it was found absolutely neces- re to the manufacturers reason- able returns on their investments. Hence the advance in shingles. Prices for shingles on the Ameri- n side have also gone up for the that the mills there have shut down for the past six ;, and will continue closed un- bruary first. The prices on the ican side for ‘‘clears” which in 1905 were from $1.50 to $1.65 per 4 |. are now $1.80 to $2.00, while a Stars”. are now $1.60 to $1.80 as against $1.25 to $1.35 formerly. shingle manufacturers in Wash- on, like their Canadian cousins, e nothing on their investments go5 and the rise was absolutely n essary in their case also. _ Several of the B. C. mills have seen shut down for as much as two hs this winter on account of scart ity of bolts, and as a result ocks at the mills for- spring ship- ents are somewhat low, and the facturers expect this year’s ess to be more favorable than been for some time past.

(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) Vancouver, B.C., January 8th, 1906. — ‘* There will hardly be another advance in the price of shingles,” was the remark this morning of Mr. J. G. Woods, shingle manufacturer, when asked about the condition of the market. ‘« The raising of prices for our pro- duct is not regarded as the most desirable thing at any time, but cir- cumstances compelled the increase of 15 cents, which atter all is only the price shingles used to be. Bolts are exceedingly scarce, in fact, we had to shut down on Fri- day owing to none being available. If the weather is very unfavorable, and the best is not looked for at this time of year, they will be scar- cer. Therefore, the outlook is not as satisfactory as one would wish.” Manufacturers of lumber are look- ing for a good season. ‘‘The out- put for 1906 should prove to exceed anything yet,” declared Mr. T. F. Patterson, of the Patterson Timber Company, and secretary of the Can- adian Pacific Lumber Company at Port Moody. ‘‘l would not be sur- prised if the billion mark were reached. This will be caused by the very good crops of last year, which will give the tarmers building money, and to the _ extensive railway building which is going on both in this province and the west- ern provinces.” Logging conditions have not changed since last report. Logs are still a scarce article, the price being maintained at the increased figure, namely, $5.50 for rough, $7.50 for merchantable, and $9 for flcoring.

The Mountain Lumber Manu- facturers Association held its quar- terly meeting at Nelson yesterday, when the lumber tariff of prices was revised, but little altered. It was thought at the last meeting that a raise of $2 per thousand would have been made yesterday, but it was decided to put off the increase un- til March. Mr. J. G.

Si = THI8 PAPER REACHES REGULARLY THE PRINCIPAL LUMBER MANUFACTURERS AND DEALERS THROUGHOUT CANADA, AND WHOLESALE No. 46 CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. ONTARIO. The volume of lumber moving is large for the month of January. There has as yet been no _interrup- tion to building operations in South- ern Ontario and consequently the drain upon retail yards has been heavy. This will mean an early spring demand from the retailers, which suggests the question whether the light supply of white pine now in the hands of manufacturers and wholesalers will be sufficient to meet the requirements. Present condi- tions, it may be said, indicate a shortage and higher prices. There is a disposition in some quarters, however, to proceed conservatively, on the ground that prices are already high enough and nearing the pro- hibitive point. Some principals have accordingly given instructions to their men to buy sparingly, but at the same time to pick up anything which may-seem in the nature of a bargain. Logging operations are suffering from mild weather. There is some snow in the northern pine districts, but the weather bas not been cold enough to make good roads either for taking in supplies or getting out logs, and if these conditions should continue, the output will be greatly curtailed. In the hardwood sec- tions very little logging has been done. There is no sleighing in Western Ontario as far north as Walkerton, and it is probable that the production of hardwood logs will be not more than 50 per cent.of the usual cut. This should bring about higher prices for lumber, and especially for basswood, prices of which are too low as compared with those ruling in the United States. As an indication of the strength of the lath market, it may be said that a sale was this week made of No. 2 lath to be cut during the coming season at $3.50 f.o.b. Al- goma mill point, taking 19 cent rate to Pittsburg. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. The strength of spruce in the Eastern States has been reflected to some extent throughout the Mari- time Provinces, and at the present time there is a disposition to re- gard the outlook for 1906 as hope- ful. Perhaps clapboards represent the commodity which is least in de- mand at the present time, but as the production has been very moderate prices are not likely to suffer. Ced- ar shingles are bringing trom $3.35 to $3.50 for Boston delivery, the latter price being for the pro- duction of manufacturers who are known to make a high grade shin- gle. There is not much activity and no particular change in either demand or price is looked for dur- ing the next month or six weeks. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. Lumbermen of Western Canada are anticipating an active trade during the coming season. Some dealers are already placing orders in anticipation of an early spring demand, but the general disposition seems to be to wait until February or March before giving the business to the mills. This policy, how- ever, does not always produce the most satisfactory results. The ten- dency of both lumber and shingle prices is upwards, as owing to the scarcity and increased cost of logs, an early advance in prices is almost inevitable. It is yet too early to estimate the extent of the demand this year, but it is significant that the aggregate value of buildings in Winnipeg for which permits have been granted up to this date is con- siderably in excess of the figures of the corresponding period of last year, and that in nearly all western cities and towns like conditions exist. This means a large con- sumption of lumber during the first six months of the year at least. UNITED STATES. The lumber situation in the United States cannot be character- . be Il. ized otherwise than exceptionally strong. Southern pine probably leads in point of demand, followed by white pine and spruce. The higher scale of prices adopted by the White Pine Association of Buffalo and Tonawanda is being readily paid, the consumer apparently having come to the conclusion that condi- tions warrant the step. In the Lake Superior district prices are about $3 higher than a year ago, No. 6 boards, which is the very lowest grade, bringing $7. Chicago deal- ers last week sent out new lists showing an advance of $1 on practi- cally all items. While there is a light supply generally of white pine, the scarcity of box lumber is pro- nounced and likely to lead to still higher prices. Everything in the spruce line sells very rapidly, as a considerable quantity is being used for building purposes. There is also a large call for hemlock and in New York a scarcity of 2x4 inch, 18 and 20 feet. Wisconsin hemlock is held at $15 to $16 in lengths up to 16 feet, while 18-foot lengths are $1 more. The condition of the hardwood trade was carefully considered at the meeting of the Hardwood Manufac- turers’ Association of the United States held at Louisville, Kentucky, on January 16th. The reports pre- sented show that the stocks of hard- wood on hand at the mills are small- er than one yearago. It was decided to fix the price of inch firsts and seconds basswood at $34 f.0.b.Ohio river points, while for log run maple the following prices were agreed up- on: 1 inch, $20; 14% and 1% inch, $22; 2 inch, $23. For log run soft elm the prices fixed were: 1 inch, $21.50; 14, 1% and 2 inch, $23.50. GREAT BRITAIN. The general electicns in Great Britain -have, naturally, not been helpful to business, and under the circumstances it is satisfactory to know that the lumber demand continues steady and prices firm. Buyers still seem a little dubious KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION about the reported falling off in shipments from Canada, but if the buoyant market which now exists in the United States should con- tinue, they are likely to be given some strong evidence during the coming year. Unless all signs fail, British importers must pay higher prices for Canadian pine and spruce if they are to secure as much stock as in former years. It is stated that over £8 per standard-c.i.f. has been paid in the Bristol Channel for a parcel of St. John deals per the winter liners containing 10 per cent. 3x11 inch and 15% feet aver- age length. For special Irish specifications $8 15s to £9 is being asked, but importers are not con- tracting liberally at these figures. Shippers are asking and receiving higher prices for waney pine, birch and elm, the light stock in Quebec having placed them in a_ strong position in respect to 1906 ship. ments. STOCKS AND PRICES. The Richards Lumber Company, of Campbellton, N.B., expect to get out about 6,000,000 bt of logs this winter. B. F. Smith, of Waodslien! N. B., has just sold 100,000 feet of birch lumber to the Bane een Company, Toronto. Musgrave & Company, 159 'Hol-. lis street, Halifax, N.S., are de-) sirous of purchasing one million. laths for shipment in February. Clark Bros., of Coldstream, N. B:, and F. E. Sayre & Company and J. K. Fleming, of Hartland, N.B., have been operating their lath mills to their full capacity. It is understood that the price of spruce lath is slightly weaker. The Carney Lumber Company, of Owen Sound, Ont., have sold to the Hines Luniber ‘Company. of Chicago, the entire cut of their mill for the season of 1906. The cut is estimated at 20,000,000 feet and the consideration is between $400,- 000 and $500,000. Most of the lumber will be shipped to Chicago. Geo. Read, of Campbellton, N.B., and T. R.

D. E. Sprague stated that he had heard ot no change. The Rainy River Lumber Company stated that they would not advance present prices. J. M. Chisholm, wholesale dealer, said that B.C. fir had ad- vanced about $1 per thousand, but pine was stationary, and the Mani- toba mills had not advanced prices. T. D. Robinson said he believed the mills would make an advance in prices in the near future. From enquiries in other directions it was learned that some dealers consider that the advance of $1 on B.C, fir will be followed by a general ad- vance all round. FREIGHT RATES ON LUMBER. A conference took place between the Ottawa Valley lumbermen and the representatives of the railway companies last week regarding the freight rates on lumber from Ottawa: to New York. Until quite recently the charge was $3 per thousand feet, and the change has been made to 11 cents per hundred weight, which, it is claimed, is equal to the lineal foot rate. The lumbermen claim that no two scales weigh alike, so that there would te no definite way of knowing in advance what the freight charges would be. As lumber is sold by foot measure-- ment, they claim it is much more advantageous to have freight charg-" ed on the same basis. The lumbermen said they simply would not pay on the tonnage basis, — and intimtated that if the railways’ T ELEORAPH POLES ames | THE [IMPERIAL LUMBER GO. Limitep LATCHFORD, ONT.

ONTARIO. + There is an unusual winter re- quirement for lumber. The retail demand is good and wholesale buyers are plentiful. The market is decidedly strong and much speculation is being indulged in as _to how far prices will advance as the result of the mild winter and lack of snow in the woods. Our advices from the Ottawa Valley and certain sections of the Georgian Bay district are to the effect that the bush work is all stopped and the snow nearly all gone. Even if the weather should become favor- able, there is certain to be a material shortage of logs. The seller of lumber has, therefore, everything in his favor at the present time. Quotations given one month ago are being withdrawn, and, when new lists are issued, an advance made of from $2 to $4. There is a very active demand for hemlock and some fair sized stocks have recently changed hands. As an indication of prices, we might ‘The Lumberman Monthly Edition. 44 pages} $1.00 per year + {The Lumberman Weekly Edition. every week. THi8 PAPER REACHES REGULARLY THE PRINCIPAL LUMBER MANUFACTURERS AND DEALERS THROUGHOUT CANADA, AND WHOLESALE No. 47 mention the,sale of some ten-inch stock at $13.50 on a high freight rate; 2 inch, 10 to 16 feet, at $12.50, and 2inch in 18 feet lengths, at $15. The advance in spruce and whitewood is a source of strength to hemlock. Although the shingle market is seasonably quiet, a few sales of white pine are being made at very satisfactory prices. Occasional or- ders are also being booked for B.C. red cedars at the new scale, which is $3.60 for XXXXX, 5 to 2 inch, and $3.05 for XXX, 6 to 2 inch, for Ontario delivery. QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. The lumber trade throughout the Eastern Provinces is quiet, as only a few of the mills have aby suitable stock for the United States market and the shipments to Great Britain are confined to the regular liners from St. John and Halifax. The market, however, is particularly firm and it is universally expected that considerably higher prices will rule during the coming season. The lack* of snow has greatly interfered with logging operations and it is also likely to.,be an adverse factor in stream driving. The cut of logs is certain to be light, while there is no telling what proportion of the cut will reach the mills. It is only natural, therefore, that holders of stock should be inclined to retain possession in the hope of being able to realize a large profit in the spring or summer. New Brunswick cedar shingles are unchanged at about $3.40 for Extras on Boston rate of freight, but lath are being offered in larger quantities and the market is somewhat easier. MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. The outlook for the lumber trade in Western Canada is steadily im- proving. The demand upon retail yards has left their supply some- what scant and there is every reason to expect a good spring trade. Price cutting is now little heard of, while on the other hand ad- vances are in some instances being asked. The quotations of the Mountain manufacturers of British Columbia are now more in line with those of the Coast mills, but con- sidering the cost of production, are still low, and a further advance seems fully warranted. The stocks at the mills, however, are quite was Le es i. large, and it is doubtful whether any change will be made in the near future. Of 250,000,000' feet esti- mated to have been cut last year by the Mountain mills, about 85,000,- ooo feet is still on hand. UNITED STATES. The Northern Pine Manufacturers’ Association, at its annual meeting at Minneapolis on January 23rd, decided upon the following advan- ces: All piece stuff, $1.50; 8 inch No. 2 boards, 18 and 20 feet, $2; all other sizes of boards and pro- ducts, $1; fencing, all sizes and lengths, $1.50; B select and better, inch and thicker, $3; No.3 shop, thick, $2. The stock of lumber on hand in the Mississippi and Wiscon- sin valleys was shown to be 1,303,- 132.611 feet, compared. with 1,361,- 406, 206 feet in 1905 and 1,504,465,- 890 feet in 1904. In view ot the large market, it was considered that these advances were very moderate. The maple flooring manufacturers have advanced their prices to $37.50 for firsts and seconds, Chicago de- livery. The above statements, better than anything else, show the healthy condition of the lumber market. White pine, southern pine, spruce, hemlock and hardwoods are all strong. The advances lately made at Buffalo and Tonawanda have been wellsustained. There is, how- ever, as might be expected, a dis- position to search for lumber which will take the place of white pine wherever possible, and this is creat- ing a larger market for hemlock and spruce, prices of which may go still higher. Spruce logs in the Kenne- bec river are $2 higher than they were a year ago. GREAT BRITAIN. There is a fair amount of business being done in British lumber circles. Some buyers are responding to* the advanced figures which are now asked by shippers from all countries. The position of pine and spruce remains practically unchanged, _ the demand being moderate and stocks very light. Quebec shippers of spruce are said to be asking 7s. 6d to ios. advance on the opening prices of last year, and it is learned that sales have been made at this advance. This brings the basis about £9 per standard for 3x9 inch third quality. Birch timber is ex- ceptionally firm at about 1d per foot above the opening prices of last year. The demand for oak planks KNIGHT BROTHERS CO, LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. » CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION for wagon building is broadening, while the shipments from America have fallen off on account of the increased local consumption. STOCKS AND PRICES. Shaw Bros., of Dauphin, Man., are cutting 2,500,000 feet of logs in the Riding Mountains this winter. The Phoenix Mill, Fredericton, N.B., has resumed operations and is manufacturing shingles for the United States market. Stetson, Cutler & Company last week shipped 1,250,000 laths from St. John, N.B., to New York, by the steamer Lady Eileen. James Burgess & Sons, of Grand Falls, N.B., have closed a contract to supply a considerable quantity of lumber for the Massey-Harris Com- pany, Toronto. G. P. Wells, secretary of the Mountain Lumber Manufacturers’ Association, estimates that the cut of 45 mills belonging to the Assoc- iation was about 280,000,000 feet last year. J. S. Emerson recently contracted in Puget Sound for a quantity of logs to be imported into British Columbia, to be sawn at the Na- naimo Lumber Company’s mill at Nanaimo. The scarcity of fir logs in British Columbia made it pos- sible for Mr. Emerson to see a pro- fitin such a purchase. The shipments of spruce deals, etc., by F. E. Neale from Northern New Brunswick during the season of 1905 were as follows: Miramichi....... 21,231,824 sup. feet.

Their logging railroad is now in operation, and timber cut down in the morning is hauled 12 to 15 miles over a rail- road by noon and sawed into lumber before night. They recently built a steam pond which enables them to operate their mill all winter. A remittance of $1.00 has been received from Chester, Nova Scotia, postmarked Jan. 11th.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION creased the scarcity of bolts,” one of the millmen remarked this morn- ing, ‘‘and it is not improbable that ‘this feature will continue for several weeks. The demand for shingles is fairly good, tut as bolts cannot be had, what are we to do? As high as $5 per cord has been paid, and this is about the record price, - and paid only when they are abso- lutely necessary.” Logs have also continued scarce for the same reason, with the result that they are up another 25 cents or 50 cents per thousand. It is not likely that the supply will be in- creased to any material extent until spring sets in. So scarce are they that Vancouver Island mills are im- porting from the American side, the principal importers being the Na- naimo Lumber Company. As a result of the decision of the Supreme Court that the Land Act did not prohibit the export of timber cut under hand loggers’ licenses, the Government on Thursday intro- duced a new amendment, which is far more explicit in itsterms. This new measure, it is felt confident, will set all doubt in the matter at rest, and absolutely prohibit ex- portation. A local company, behind Mr. H. R. Robertson, of Portland, is ap- plying to the legislature for per- mission to export logs in rafts, the intention being to ship them to California. As the premier and the chief commissioner have both ex- pressed themselves opposed to the exportation of logs in any form, it is hardly probable the desired per- mission will be granted. ‘*The demand for lumber is not particularly good just now,” Mr. T.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. ONTARIO. Scarcity of stcckis the, key-note of the present situation in respect to white pine and hemlock. This is one of the reasons for the present high prices, as there must be a con- siderable consumption of lumber between now and the time when the new cut will be available. There is a temporary cessation in the retail demand as the result of the colder weather, but so far as can be judged from present appearances, another year of exceptional building activity is to be experienced. There is little prospect, therefore, of a decline in lumber prices. The input of logsis almost certain to be smaller than if the month of January had been cold. As intimated last week, there is is y ; ie or. > x3 x ae Ys : ae a very general feeling that hemlock oN lumber is worth more money. ' THére 2 is a growing demand for this lumber which it is claimed is: not refletted in current values. Hardwoods ’€re quiet, but no stock is being sacrificed as was the case afew months ago. The difficulty which has been exper- _ ienced in cutting and hauling legs s has been responsible for a stronger ee feeling of confidence among 4he ta manufacturers and the coming year 2% promises to witness higher prices, = and especially for birch and’ bass- wood. b ; f Peis, QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK. : & Comment upon the spruce lumber fe market is futile at the present time, : so much depends upon the success of the winter’s logging operatians. If a large crop of logs should reach the mills, it might require excep- tionally favorable conditions «in v2 other directions to maintain prices. On the other hand, if the produc- tion of logs should fall short or any quantity be hung up in the streams, , the inevitable result would be higher prices. The presentdemdnd. for spruce is good, a favorable feat- is ure of the trade being an increase in inquiries for South Ameriéan specifications. There are no new — — developments in the shingle market, = but the tendency of prices is in the direction of strength. e “Te i UNITED STATES. ‘ ee fe ye we There does not appear to be a: weak spot inthe entire lumber market of the United States. White pine continues to be bought in large quantities. About 10,000,000 feet of No. 3 and better was soldat Duluth last week to eastern partjes at $26.50 a thousand, which was the highest price ever paid for lumber in that market. No. 4 boards 4re selling at $15.50 and No.5 at $11.50. The Northwestern Hemlock Manu- facturers’ Association last week ad- vanced the price $1 on all items, of lumber and 50 cents on lath, brigg- ing the latter up to $4 on Wausau rate of freight. According to - statistics gathered by the Associa- tion, the visible stocks of hemlock lumber on hand in Wisconsin and Upper Michigan are 100,000,000 feet less than a year ago. This shortage is expected to give a pro- nounced stimulus to the spring de- mand. The base price of Eastern hemlock is $18.50 at Boston and tt. Buffalo, $20 at Pittsburgh and $21 at New York. An improved de- mand is reported for hardwood, with oak, ash and birch leading. The export trade in hardwoods is expect- ed to show an improvement over 1905. GREAT BRITAIN. The elections in Great Britain have been a disturbing influence to trade generally and late reports do not speak so encouragingly of the posi- tion of the lumber market. On ac- count of the light demand the small quantity of stock which has been re- ceived hasnot been readily absorbed, with the result that prices are, if anything, a shade easier, and more particularly in respect to spruce. The latest transactions of this lum- ber are said to have been at 47 158. per standard c. i. f. Liverpool for stock by the regular liners from St. John and Halifax, although itis also stated that a large parcel was re- cently sold at £7 tos. . While these figures' would seem. to indicate a weak market, they are offset by the closing of important contracts for stock from Norway and Sweden at an advance: of from 15 to 20 shillings over the prices ruling one year ago. The greater part of the business done has been transacted’in the Midlands, on the North-East Coast, and in Scotland. A quantity of red pine of second quality from Montreal was recently sold at auction on the basis of £10 5s. per standard for 3.x 11 inch, 10 to 18 feet. There is a good demand for oak timber and amoderate movementof birch, planks of the latter wood being held at £8 to £48 5s. per standard. STOCKS AND PRICES. Tenders are invited by C.J. Brown, City Clerk of Winnipeg, Man., up to Tuesday, February 27th, for the supply of from 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 feet of lumber required during the current year.

As an offset against these high prices, of course, is to put the increased cost of stumpage, and also the largely increased cost of logging, caused by high wages and prices for every- thing used in the operation, and by the -fact- that he is compelled year by year to go further back to get a cut of logs, and, although it would appear as if the lumberman were making a great deal more money than in the past, by the time all these additional charges are taken into consideration he finds that he is not so far ahead at the end of the season as he had hoped for. ‘*The production of white pine is decreasing very rapidly in the United States, and is barely holding its own in Canada. ‘* The stocks on hand at the mills this fall are lower than has ever been known, and the sales for future delivery greater, so that the present advance in prices over last year, amounting to about $3 in the average as near as it can be got at, is fully justified. ‘* Hemlock, the next important wood to pine in this couutry, has KILN-DRIED BIRGH FLOORING MASON, GORDON & Co. Limited Owen Sound, Ont. HARDWOOD, HEMLOCK AND PINE LOMBER We carry a full supply of native Hardwoods always on hand and solicit your inquiries. At the present time we have piled at outside points about 2,000,000 feet of Hard. woods, and about the same quantity of Hardwood, Hemlock and Pine piled here in Owen Sound, and we should be able to interest you if in the market. WILL MAKE SPECIAL PRICES ON BROKEN LOTS AT OUTSIDE POINTS not been as fully appreciated in the past as it should have been, but I am glad to say that people are at last awakening to the importance of this wood, and the chances are that before the summer is over the price will. have advanced to an extent ‘that the quality of the wood justifies. The Hemlock Association of Michigan and Wisconsin have practically controlled the price for some years. Their base price last season was about $13 per M. About a month ago this was ad- vanced to $13.50, and this week a further advance was made to $15, which is, I consider, no more than this lumber should bring. ‘* A year ago there were a great many complaints against the rail- ways in regard to the supply of cars, but I am pleased to report that this year the lumbermen have been better treated, and the supply of cars has been more ample. ‘* Although there have been differ- ent meetings and much discussion in regard to the question, nothing has yet been done in reference to a duty on lumber coming into Canada, and from the present appearances, I cannot hold out much hope that the Government will take any immed- iate action in this matter. The Dominion Parliament will not meet until. some time in March, and it will no doubt be late in the summer before full consideration is given to the report of the Tariff Commission, until which time nothing will be known as to the probable action of the Government in regard to not only the duty on lumber, but the tariff on all other commodities.” HE WOODSTOCK LUMBER =——“‘iésé@R & MANUFACTURING co. | Pine, Hemlock and Hardwood Lumber. .

Further up river on the Tobique, the Aroostook and the \ her north branches of the St. yorable during the past month, it the continued mildness is having effect” and in some sections rators are experiencing consider- @ difficulty because of the scarcity snow. he market for New Brunswick ce in Great Britain continues to w indications of an increase in mand and of firmer prices in the r future. At this date, accord- to information from unquestion- sources, stocks of New Bruns- -k lumber in Great Britain are re- kably light, much lighter than been the case for several years. that the elections are over a eral stimulus of trade is looked ‘That Canadian lumber will be affected is beyond question and it is felt that the fact that the supplies this line at the chief distributing | es of the United Kingdom are ll will have, should the expected lus take plac2, a pronounced upon prices. n this side the water conditions ll tend toward the same end. al stocks are light, one and one millions of sup. feet _would the quantity.

From the St. John mills, for reasons mentioned in previous letters, no important quantity will be ready to go forward before June Ist at theearliest. DG In accordance with the above summary of conditions, local parties most interested are sanguine of marketing their ‘‘English” lumber to better advantage during the coming year than was the case last year. While ideas differ as to what figures will be prevalent, the gen- eral trend of opinion leads to the conclusion that no contract for ‘English” spruce deals for summer delivery, containing say 507% 7’s and 8’s, 354 9’s and 15% wides, could be made at less than from $12.75 to $13.25 per sup. feet, f.o.b. steamer St. John, two-thirds price for fourths and ends. During the past month receipts at the other end have been, while in small parcels, considerable in quan- tity, and because of the light de- mand usual at this time of year, prices have no more than held their own. Freight rates to the West Coast range from 37s. 6d. to 38s. od. per standard, with all indications pointing to the lower figure as more probable to be the reigning rate and a probability that offerings in this line may be lower in the near future.

Imperial Lumber Company, Limited, 309 Pacific Building, ‘Toronto, CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. ONTARIO. The past week has been more favorable for work in the woods and operators have made some progress, but there is still much uncertainty in regard to the log supply. Much hauling is yet to be done, and even with ideal conditions, a considerable quantity of logs is almost certain to be left in the woods. The course of lumber prices is largely dependent upon the weather, with the one restriction that there is a very slight prospect ofa decline under any circumstances. The building permits issued in Toronto this year are in excess of those for the corresponding period of 1905, and similar conditions exist at many other provincial points. Hemlock promises to find a large market this season, and with light stocks in the hands of manufacturers, the present strength of prices should easily be maintain- ed. Hardwoods are not moving very actively, but the volume of enquiries suggests an early spring trade of satisfactory proportions. THE EASTERN PROVINCES. The lack of snow in the woods has been a serious drawback to logging operations in Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova _ Scotia. Many contractors are likely to lose heavily, and unless conditions should change greatly for the better, there will be a very meagre supply of logs for the coming sea- son. Lumber prices are con- sequently strong. Very little stock has been sold for export to 2 ‘ r II. CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION: Great Britain, as shippers do not feel disposed to take the risk of a sharp advance in prices. There is no change in the shingle market, most of the sales of New Bruns- wick white cedars being around $3.40 for extras for Boston delivery. UNITED STATES. The lumber demand in the United States is heavier than a year ago notwithstanding the higher prices. It is predicted that this will be the banner year, as the orders book- ed during the first six weeks make a most encouraging showing. There will doubtless be a large consump- tion of lumber for building purposes, but as the harvesting season ap- proaches it would not be surprising if conservatism should be shown until the result of the crops is known. At the present time every- thing is in favor of the seller. At Minneapolis January shipments of white pine were 21,000,000 feet, as compared with 16,000,000 in De- cember and 17,000,000 in January, 1905. Hemlock is perhaps showing more strength than any other lum- ber. For 2x4 to 2x10, in 10, 12 and 14 foot lengths, the price at Saginaw, Mich., is $16 per thous- and ; 16 foot lengths are $17 and longer lengths 50 cents higher. Boards are strong at $17.50. In Buffalo the base price is $18.50, with talk of an advance. The better feeling in regard to the hardwoods is likely to bring about higher prices. Basswood stocks are said to be getting short. The new list ot the Wisconsin Hard- wood Lumbermen’s Association went into effect on February ist, the prices for inch log run being as follows: Ash, $23; birch, $19; basswood, $20; soft elm, $20; soft maple, 1 to 2 in., $16. GREAT BRITAIN. Open weather in Great Britain has encouraged the consumption of lumber and the deliveries from the docks at London have been about 1,000,000 feet greater than last year. Prices show no material variation. Quebec shippers are asking fully 1os. advance on last season’s opening prices and we are advised that considerable lines have been placed at the following prices: Fifth quality, £7 7s. 6d to £7 Ios. per standard of 1980 feet, according to proportion of narrows ; fourths, 3x9, 48 5s to £8 10s; thirds, KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. Keenan Bros., 3x9, 49to £9 5s, according to proportion of 12 inch and longer. Shippers are anticipating a further advance, but this will no doubt be strongly opposed by importers, who do not appreciate to the full extent the shortage Canadian stock. The Timber News says that owing to heavy liner ship- ments and pressure to sell, values of New Brunswick spruce have eased off, especially at London and Liverpool, where sales have been made at 47 12s 6d and £47 6s c.i.f. This weakness is regarded as but temporary. Hemlock deals are firmly held by shippers, who are asking about £6 tos c.i.f., but no sales at this price have been re- ported. Some sales of birch and elm timber have been made, but both shippers and buyers of waney pine are playing a waiting game; 3s 8d per cubic foot for 19 inch average is about the basis for first- class timber. STOCKS AND PRICES. L. Laforest, of Sudbury, Ont., has secured a contract to furnish 90,000 ties for the James Bay Rail- way. Logging operations in the vicinity of Grandview, Man., have been carried on this winter under most favorable conditions. T. A. Bur- rows expects to take out 12,000,- ooo feet in the Duck Mountains.

(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) Ortawa, Feb. t1oth, 1905. — Lumbering, as with other promi- nent trades in this district, has reached a condition when experi- ences do not count for much in pre- dicting the future of the trade. Looking back three years it is re- called that all the prudent men of the lumbering industry felt that prices had become so high that there would soon be a reaction. Wiser men of the trade thought it was well to hold back and let those who wished to do so go extensively into the lumbering business. Con- trary to the expectations of veteran lumbermen of Ottawa there has been a steady advance in prices and KILN-DRIED_BIRGH FLOORING Limited Owen Sound, Ont. HARDWOOD, EMLOGK AND PINE LUMBER We carry a full supply of native Hardwoods always on hand and solicit your inquiries. At the present time we have piled at outside points about 2,000,000 feet of Hard- woods, and about the same quantity of Hardwood, Hemlock and-Pine piled here in Owen Sound, and we should be able to interest you if in the market.

However, the men of most experience are still holding back somewhat, while those newer in the trade are keeping up the aggressive policy they began a few years ago. Then they were looked upon as plungers but they have come out the biggest winners and have set a pace that with con- tinued prosperity will create condi- tions quite unique. The market to- day is at its highest and the stocks are the lowest. Everything points to a season of the keenest activity and local lumbermen believe that the year 1906 will be a _ record breaker. This is the view despite ‘the tact that about five years ago it was considered that the English trade was the backbone of the mar- ket and men said that if the export to England fell off the trade in ‘Canada would sustain a heavy blow. But last year the English trade was listless—even flat. Nevertheless, the lumber merchants of the Otta- wa district did not seem to be affected beyond a temporary dull- ness in sales. To-day, the manu- tacturers are little concerned wheth- er they sell on the English market or in the United States. There is little doubt that the average cut can Le sold in the local markets and in the United States at better prices than could be realized for the full cut if sold in England. - The local and United States de- mand now so completely control the prices that there has so far this year been very little lumber sold in HE WOODSTOCK LUMBER & MANUFACTURING C0. improvement and dispatch, m the English market. The buye Ss across the sea contend that prices’ have reached such a high notch that they cannot handle anything like the quantity of Canadian lum- ber they imported in the past. The local lumbermen report operations in the woods going on— more satisfactorily since the recent cold snap set in, and in the O wa Valley the average quantity logs may be secured. The ea part of the season up to the la thaw was unusually fine for kk making, but on the whole Jam was a poor month for drawing. One of the greatest drawba the Ottawa lumbermen meet wit the unsatisfactory handling of 1 on the Ottawa river. Instead firms complain that the driving of logs is continually growing slowe so that a small manufacturer h. little chance even though he owns a limit and a saw mill. He is not able to work them to any advan- tage owing to the great del caused by the poor methods - bringing logs down the Stream. For instance, last and the year before large quant of logs were delivered at the f Lake Temiskaming in June or July and none of them reached the Or ta~ LUMBER Yellow Pine Flooring and Ceiling Ki ; Long Leaf Yellow Pine Timber > California Sugar | Pine Shop Lumbe C.

The -Jumbermen affirm that the delay is not due to the small capacity of the - Ottawa river but to the inefficiency of the company in charge of the driv- = operations. To show what ean be done on the Ottawa river, it i pointed out by lumber merchants of the Capital that square timber ne ratted up at the foot of Temiskam- ing river was delivered in Quebec in six or eight weeks. Logs, of course, move more slowly than the E rafted timbers, but it is contended that there is no excuse why at least two-thirds or three-quarters of the logs delivered at the Ottawa river in June or July should not have arrived in Ottawa the same season. _ The delay costs the trade $150,000 or $200,000. These figures. are arrived at by local lumbermen who base their calculation on the deter- oration of lumber when it lies over and the loss in interest on E their money. The lumbermen as- sert that the logs cut in the winter _ should be sawn the following sea- 3 son. Some improvement has taken _ place in recent years in the driving facilities on the Ottawa river but they are not enough to keep pace with the development i in the lumber ‘industry, resulting in increased out- put and greater peeaption of a Yonge __- BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER. ig (cadieemondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) ‘Vancouver, B.C., February sth, — 1906.—‘‘ We are hopeful for a good _ season,” was the remark of S.

Dudgeon, manager of the Bowman Lumber Company, which has mills at Revelstoke and Coma- plix, was also in the city last week, and he, too, speaks favorably of the prospects, There is a feature of the entry of large American lumber manufactur- ers into the industry here which will compel some action on the part of the mannfacturers at the coast. That is the establishment of retail lumber yards in the Northwest, the Otis Staples Company, which has mills at Bayard, near Cranbrook, having secured large retail yards in Calgary, and being about to open in other towns. ‘‘We cannot ignore this,” a prominent Vancouv- er millman remarked, when asked what effect it would have on the industry. ‘*While we do not want to establish retail yards ourselves, we will be forced to if other of the large mills do so. Such a move requires large capital, for it practic- ally means floating the money-for farmers. And, yet, this is what we have been doing right along. Mr. Staples is the only one who has taken important action, neverthe- less the outcome is not lost sight of.” Conditions are not much changed from two weeks ago. Mills are expecting orders from the North- west, but these are hanging back. Were they put in earlier it would mean activity for the mills in what is generally a dull season, and would enable better delivery on the ‘pro- duct. Prices are hovering in ‘the balance, and as logs do not seem to be getting any more plentiful, the anticipated rise may shortly be made, Further than that, no state- ment will be made by officials of the “TELEGRAPH POLES| ARTHUR A.

ONTARIO. Inquiries for lumber continue to come in quite liberally and prices remain remarkably firm. The large amount of building which has. been done this winter has maintained the demand and resulted in a steady drain upon stocks, andthe problem now most discussed is whether the shortage which is developing will be the means of bringing about still higher prices. The weather for the past two weeks has been favorable for logging operations in the north- ern part of the province, but some of the hardwood districts are still suffering through unfavorable conditions for getting out logs. Indications still point to a supply of logs quite inadequate to keepthe millsin operation all season, and with the consumption at a high point prices of lumber are almost certain to continue firm. Dealers are still picking up small blocks of pine and hemlock, in the hope of being able to turn over the stock to advantage in the near future. A dealer who last week purchased about a million feet of pine gives it as his opinion that there will this year bean unusually large con- sumption of lumber for building purposes, There have been no new . ’ {I. developments in the lath market, and while prices are still firm, the more conservative operators are not contracting for the new cut to any extent. EASTERN PROVINCES. The uncertainty of the log supply is strengthening prices of square and waney timber and an advance is be- ing asked by the Quebec shippers. The chief advance shown in our quotations is in waney pine of large average and red pine. The market for spruce lumber is somewhat quiet, as there is very little stock offering and holders are not anxious to sell. Future prices depend very largely upon the input of logs. The lath market has weakened, prices having declined from the ab- normal basis which was reached about the end of last year. While opinions as to the immediate course of the lath market are widely differ- ent, there seems little doubt that those manufacturers who placed their cut under contract in the fall months pursued a wide course, as equivalent prices could not be ob- tained at the present time. UNITED STATES. The conditions of the lumber market show no material change as compared with a week ago. Indi- cations point to a large spring de- mand and firm prices, with a prob- able advance in some classes of building lumber. Box lumber is quite scarce and in urgent demand. Our Buffalo list this week shows an advance in thick selects, fine com- mon, the lower grades of cutting- up stock and all grades of barn and box boards. In the hardwoods ash and birch have been advanced. There has been a distinct improve- ment in the demand for hardwoods since January and it is believed that holders of lumber will be able to realize better prices this year. The cheaper grades of basswood are selling quite freely owing to the scarcity of white pine box boards. There could be a better demand for birch from the furniture manufac- turers, but this will probably devel- op when the spring months are entered upon. Hemlock is higher. Pennsylvania producers last week issued a new list putting the base price up $1, which makes it $19.50 for Buffalo, with an extra fifty cents for 2x 4, 10, 18 and 20 feet, and for all3 x4. There is more than the usual activity in shingles, prices KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. Keenan Bros., CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION of which are tending towards firm- ness. GREAT BRITAIN. British trade is gradually reviving, and there is a strong undertone which augurs well for improvement later in the year. The light stocks cannot be overlooked, as compared with a year ago they show a’ suk- stantial decrease. The following figures represent the stocks in the public docks at London on Febru- ary Ist, 1905 and 1906: I905-pes. 1906-pcs, Foreign deals.... ....... 1,916,000 1,418,000 Foreign battens......... 2,929,000 2,445,000 Pine deals and battens. . 1,222,000 873,000 Spruce deals and battens 1,220,000 564,000 Rough boards............ 4,200,000 3,845,000 Prepared boards ........ 8,179,000 6,941,000 19,666,000 16,286,000 These figures show a decrease of almost 3,400,000 pieces- compared with the quantity of lumber _ on hand one year ago. The trend of both pine and spruce is gradually upwards. It is understood — that shippers are asking £12 to £12 5s per standard c.i.f. for third quality pine. The longer lengths of spruce, such as 16 feet and up3 x11, 18 feet and up 3 x9, and 20 feet and up 3 x.7, are being constantly en- quired for, and there is also a fair demand for 3 x 4 inch scantling. STOCKS AND PRICES. Gillies Bros., of Braeside, Ont., have established camps on that part of their Cobalt limit from which prospectors have been excluded and expect to take off most of the tim- ber this winter. George Lux, of Beaton, B. Ci, has a contract to put 3,000,000 feet of logs into the Fish river for the Bowman Lumber Comgany, of Revelstoke, B.C. W. Leonard has undertaken to cut 4,000,000 feet of logs’ on Salmon creek for the Arrowhead Lumber Company, cf Arrowhead, B.C. Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Company say of the Barbados mar- ket: The market still continues very moderately supplied, but a couple of cargoes of white pine and spruce contracted for some time ago are about due, and with others re- ported to be on their way, dealers are very diffident in making further contracts, expecting to buy more advantageously of the spot cargoes. Spruce and hemlock would prob- ably sell to better advantage than white pine, but in the absence of former descriptions, the latter is KILN-DRIED BIRGH FLOORING Limited Owen Sound, Ont. TARDWOOD, HEMLOCK AND PINE LUMBER We carry a full supply of native Hardwoods always on hand and solicit your inquiries. At the present time we have piled at outside points about 2,000,000 feet of Hard- woods, and about the same quantity of Hardwood, Hemlock and Pine piled here in Owen Sound, and we should be able to interest you if in the market. WILL MAKE SPECIAL PRICES ON BROKEN LOTS AT OUTSIDE POINTS Specialty : bound to be in demand for crop re- quirements. The market is fully stocked with shingles, as the de- mand has been exceedingly light this season. Messrs. Denny, Mott & Dickson, London, Eng., report as follows: The demand for waney pine has been quiet, but prices have stiffened in face of the higher rates in Quebec for next season’s requirements. Elm has presented no special feature, but the price is firm. Oak is somewhat better in tone, owing to a slightly improved enquiry. Spruce deals are quiet, and the views of shippers for forward supplies are generally con- sidered as unjustifiably high, with the consequence that little cargo business has been done. Messrs. Churchill & Son,London, Eng., say: The pine deal market in London has shown more life than for some time past, and stimulated by the position in Canada, prices here have advanced. For spruce deals also the London market is better, skepticism as to the solidity of present quotations from the other side being rather on the wane. More business has therefore been possible buyers yielding to a very slight eas- ing in quotations for shipment. Prices for all the Canadian hard- woods and for white pine timber are also rather on the increase in the London market. SALE OF TIMBER LIMITS.

One feeling in regard to the lath trade seems to be shared in universally—that of pessimism, and opinions in this regard range from prophecies of a decided slump in the near future and a schedule of prices lower than those of last year, to a conviction that, while prices will be lower than at present, no figure will be touched lower than normal. The threatened strike in building circles in New York City, should it materialize, will no doubt paralyze | The Cleveland-Sarnia -business in that direction; the indi- cations are having a derogatory effect. While all this uncertainty lasts the tone of the lath market is day by day growing less favorable to a sustaining of values, recent sales having been made at figures ranging from 50 cents to $100 less than those paid in early January. Locally, nothing is offering in lath for immediate delivery. For delivery during the summer indica- tions lead to the conclusion that non-dutiable slab-lath could be bought at this date for from $2.25 to $2.50 per M f.o.b. St. John. Freight rates to New York City on lath are quoted at 70 cents per . M, offerings more frequent than charters and a consequent tendency toward lesser figures in the near future.

J Se eee CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. ONTARIO. The lumber market continues to show an exceptional degree of strength. The demand for white pine and hemlock is urgent; all offerings are quickly absorbed and holders of stock. are not seeking business, believing that everything in sight will be wanted before the new cut is ready for the market. Quick delivery is almost invariably requested, this being an indication of the low stocks carried by re- tailers. In Toronto trade is quite brisk, asthe weather has permitted a continuance of building’ opera- tions. Sales of the Ottawa Valley production of 1906 have been made at the following advances over last yeai‘s prices: Stock boards, 6, 8 andro, $3 higher, box lumher, $2 to $4; good lumber, $2 to $5, and factory lumber $1.50 to $3 higher. Our Sarnia list this week shows a sharp advance in nearly all grades. Lath have also been marked up -at that point up to $4.50 for No. 1 white pine. The shingle market is very quiet. Hardwoods are showing more activity, the factory demand being somewhat ° better. When the weather commences to show signs of the approach of. spring we may expect a large movement of hard- woods. The lack of snow in the southern part of the province is still interfering with logging. THE EASTERN PROVINCES. ~ Though the lumber market of the Eastern Provinces is in a healthy condition, there is very little activity owing to the uncertainty of the log supply. There are plenty of buyers willing to contract for stock, but manufacturers are pursuing a very conservative policy and are refrain- ing from accepting orders which they may not be able to fill.” Some clapboards are offering, but they do not seem to be in faver : at the present time. The tendency of New Bruns- wick cedar shingles is towards KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. higher prices. delivery are selling at $3.45 to $3.50, with especially fine brands bringing $3.60. Clears are worth about $3. Large offerings of spruce lath have broken prices. Standard spruce slab lath are being sold for New York delivery at $4 to $4.15 in either cargo or carload lots, with $4.25 the prevailing quotation for 15 inch. WESTERN CANADA. The condition of the lumber trade of Western Canada is more satis- factory than one year ago. The large stocks of lumber and shingles are gradually being disposed of and the outlook is for a strong demand and firm prices during the coming summer season. A large quantity of lumber is expected tobe marketed in the new provinces and in Winnipeg. Lists recently issued by manufacturers of white pine show advances. For Winnipeg delivery, the prices of 2 x 4 dimen- sion timber range from $13.50 for 6-ft. to $21 for 24-ft.; 2 x 6, 8 and 10, $16 to $21, and 2x 12 $17 to $22, No. 2 dimension is $2 less. No. 1 red pine 13 inches and wider ranges from $29.50 for 10 foot to $3t for 18 foot. Pine lath are quoted at $4, and pine shingles, 6 in. clear butts, $1.50. Red cedar shingles prices have been favorably affected by the scar- city of timber and the closing down of the Washington mills. The conditions to-day are in favor of the manufacturers and mill prices are stronger than they have been for many months. UNITED STATES. The manufacturer or dealer who has a large stock of lumber is particularly fortunate, for there has never been a better demand at this season of the year. White pine at the head of the Jakes is particularly strong, one of the items most in demand being No. 4 boards, which “are reported to have sold lately at $15. Spruce lumber is very active in the Eastern States, the unfavor- able logging conditions having created some anxiety in respect to the supply. At best the crop of spruce logs for this season’s sawing will be considerably below the average and much less than the operators had hoped to secure. Hemlock is gradually moving to- wards a higher level. Michigan piece stuff is selling at $16 a KILN-DRIED BIRGH FLOORING : MASON, GORDON &GO_ Keenan Bros.. Limited Owen Sound, Ont.

It is reported that several prominent shippers recently withdrew all quo- tations on hemlock, which step is likely to be followed by a new list showing no small advance. Hardwoods are improving at Eastern points. Elm, ash, and birch are meeting with | a ready sale. GREAT BRITAIN. Very little change is to be noted in the British lumber market. Business is only moderately active, but the light stocks on hand are a very strong feature. The London stock of deals, for instance, is 1,418,000 pieces, as compared. with 2,083,000 pieces a year ago. Re- ports as to spruce are to the effect that considerable business has been closed, a London firm having recently sold upwards of 40,000,000 feet in one week. The regular liners are keeping London and Liverpool supplied with small lots, which have been bought at £7 - to 47 12s. 6d per standard Birch planks bring a higher 10S. Cae & figure, namely, &7 standard. STOCKS AND PRICES. The contract for the supply of lumber for the city of Hamilton has been secured by James Thomson, at $21.78 per thousand feet. Joseph Vipoad, Nanaimo, B.C., has secured the contract to furnish logs to the Victoria Lumber Com- “the lumbermen, and active opera- 17s 6d per February 28, 1906 = pany at Chemainus and to the Cowichan Lumber Company it Cowichan Bay. ¥ The recent snowfall in Nova Scotia has been of much benefit to tions have been resumed at 7 points. While the fall of snow was not very heavy, it is sufficient if it lasts to enable the lumbermen to remove their cut from the forests. The Sheet Harbor Lumber Com- pany have succeeded not only in removing all the logs cut this sea- son, but several thousand that were cut last year and left in the - woods. The outlook for the in- dustry has now become much brighter, and the prospects are that the season’s operations will be more — successful than was anticipated — some weeks ago. THE OTTAWA VALLEY. — (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) Otrawa, Feb. 28, 1906.—The desire of manufacturers and holders © of lumber to keep their stock in the | hope of getting higher than current prices for it is making the market | in the Ottawa Valley dull.

Box ne aieedd 28, 1906 Bibete and lath mills have all been "offered contracts for greater quan- tities than they can supply, and at the very highest prices. Every new purchaser wants more than he can get in this district, for most of the m anufacturers are able to supply only their regular customers. The active demand i is on account of large umption in the United States. “One dealer says he has been trying for several days to buy a car of “XXXX 18-inch pine shingles, and not been successful. Laths are made scarce by the rmous demand in the United tes market. The Ottawa Valley is now sending green laths to West Virginia, and as far west as Ohio. _ The market is very extensi e and prices so uncertain that manulac- turers are averse to quote. In all lines the Ottawa Valley -lumbermen are finding themselves - with little opposition from the timber producing districts of the Georgian _ Bay and the Western States, so _ great is the demand in the West for _the product of those places. a nglish buyers are in Ottawa looking after deals, boards and Sidings. They report stocks very jowin England. The buying for the British market is putting up the prices to the top notch. Largest sales are being made in the follow- ing lines at these prices: 1 in. x 4 in. to 6 in. shipping cull strips 12 to 16 ft, long, $15 to $16 per é ousand; 1 in. to 1% in. and 2 | same widths and lengths, $16 to ; 1 in. x 7 in. and up shipping Il sidings 12 fr. to 16 ft. long, $18 $20; 1% in., 1% in. and 2 in., e widths and lengths, $22 to -1in. x 4 in. to 6 in. good s 12 ft. to 16 ft. long, $38 to fo. 134 in. and 2 in., me ie and > eek $42 to be oe WANTED We buy all lengths.

Though the prices have reached a high notch the supplies are not forthcoming. The shortage of stock in the old country is expected here to be at least sufficient to maintain the high prices. The Britishers are buying in white and red pine and spruce the lines before mentioned, sidings, deals and boards. Spruce is decidedly firm and is selling from $1 to $2 a thousand more than was the current rate a year ago. Reports have convinced Ottawa lumbermen that the cut of spruce will be curtailed this year. The scarcity of snow in New Bruns- wick, Nova Scotia and the Northern States, New Hampshire and New York, has stiffened the market. Generally the log cut in the Ottawa district is expected to prove a fair one. The recent weather has affected operations less than in other Canadian lumbering districts. Just now the conditions in the woods are favorable to hauling and log making. Unless an _ unexpected change takes place all the logs cut will be got out. NORTHERN LUMBER PRODUCTION AND STOCKS.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. ONTARIO. There can be no change in the white pine situation until the new cut comes on the market, which will not be for at least two months. In the meantime the advantage is with the seller and he is able to dictate prices within reasonable limits. Many lines are getting quite short and dealers have been able to turn over purchases of last fall at a fair profit. There is not as much un- certainty regarding the future sup- ply as was the case in January, as operators were able during the past four cr five weeks to make con- siderable progress with logging, but the possibility of many ot. the logs not reaching the mills is still a matter of concern. The feeling in regard to hard- woods is daily growing more con- fident. ‘‘ Prices of all hardwoods will be higher ” is the answer given by one mill man to our enquiry as to the outlook. Another manu- facturer advises us that he will have little stock for sale, as owing to the absence of snow no logs of any consequence have been secured this year. A good word is now heard even for basswood, and those who have carried their stocks in the hope of getting prices more in keeping with the cost of production may yet reap their reward. WESTERN CANADA. As briefly announced in last issue, the British Columbia Lumber & Shingle Manufacturers’ Association decided on March ist to advance the prices of all classes of lumber. KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. Keenan Bros., ‘_ =i 2 iy "54. CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION Rough lumber is now. $12 at the Coast mills, which is still a dollar Jess than what prevails on Puget Sound. The increase averages about $1 on all grades, though the alterations in the price list are numerous. The reason for the raise is the prevailing high price of logs, which range from $5.75 to $9 per thousand feet. The Mountain Lumber Manufacturers’ Association also held a meeting a few days ago at which prices were discussed, and while it was agreed that an advance was inevitable, action was deferred for a time. The outlook for the lumber trade in Western Canada is gradually improving. Stocks of both lumber and shingles at the mills are getting low and con- sequently price cutting is not being indulged in to any extent. UNITED STATES. The lumber market of the United States is not only showing as much ~ strength as at any previous time this year, but there is an urgency-of demand which is the result of a fear that a marked shortage will develop in some classes of lumber before many weeks. Buyers of pine and hemlock are plentiful, all grades be- ing in good demand. At Duluth No. 3 and better pine is selling from $22 to $30, as against about $18 a year ago; No. 6 is selling for $8 as compared with $5.50 in March, 1905, and so on all along the line. It is estimated that fully 60 per cent. of the 1906 cut in the Lake Superior district has already been sold. A large wholesale trade is being done. at Buffalo and Tonawanda. The annual report of the Secretary of the Lumber Exchange shows the stock in yards at these points to be 186,- 679,000 feet, a decrease of 15,644,000 feet from the former year. The hardwood situation is gradu- ally strengthening. Wisconsin hard- woods are selling at the following prices: Birch,$17 to $19; basswood, $18 to $19; rock elm, $19 to $22, all for mill run. Large shipments of birch and basswood are being made to the Eastern States. Soft elm is the slowest item at the present time. GREAT BRITAIN. The tone of the British lumber market remains steady, although some. dissatistaction exists. on account of the failure of the spring KILN-DRIED BIRGH FLOORIN Limited Owen Sound, Ont. HARDWOUD, HEMLOCK AND PINE LUMBER We carry a full supply of native Hardwoods always on hand and solicit your inquiries, At the present time we have piled at outside points about 2,000,000 feet of Hard_ woods, and about the same quantity of Hardwood, Hemlock and Pine piled here in Owen Sound, and we should be able to interest you if in the market. WILL MAKE SPECIAL PRICES ON BROKEN LOTS 4T OUTSIDE POINTS demand to develop upon broad lines. Such transactions as have taken place involving 1906 ship- ments have been at a further ad- vance, as importers realize that they must pay the price if they are to secure Canadian lumber. Both pine and spruce are stiffening. Contracts which were made a fort- night ago could not now be repeated under at least 10s to 15s advance per standard. Liner parcels have not been offered so freely, which has helped the market. Birch plank are stronger at about 49 per standard ex quay. The British market is, on account of the light stocks, in a splendid position to respond to any improvement in the consumption, but whether this will materialize is a matter of uncertain- ty. In the meantime Canadian shippers are showing no disposition to close contracts unless they can see a fair margin of profit. STOCKS AND PRICES. The tender of D. E. Sprague has been accepted for the supply of lumber for the city of Winnipeg. The Prince Albert Lumber Com- pany, Prince Albert, Sask., expect to cut 40,000,000 feet of lumber this season. Their limits are on the Red and Shell rivers. The red cedar shingle market is quite active.

There has been an ad- vance in the price of lumber in the east, south, middle west and on the _ American Pacific Coast, and it is _ only right if the prices were raised some here. If they are, it will only fe moderately. Certainly the cost f logs is still very high, and the Beeather of the past week or two las not been conducive to a better “s upply. The cost of transportation | fry pm the coast is a consideration in fy ing Sj hith acts against the manu- cturer. Owing to the fact that ogging in the past has been con- ucted on the timber areas more easily accessible, operations have _ now to be directed to the limits - fur her back, which is another _faator i in increasing the cost of pro- uction. This applies to both fir Band cedar.” _ “In the shingle business,” said Mr. Beecher, ‘‘things are a little better, though production is still curtailed. If there were no duty r nets we entering the States, or b) it there were some protection for _ stead of having a double-barreled action against them, there might be _ some show for the shingle mills. ‘This matter of a duty is a crying 4 injustice. Bolts are still very rce.” 3 Ss and shingle bolts are still - stiff a price, and the high figure _ wifl be maintained for a couple of "months at least. _ (Mr.-H. B.

The cut will then be about 40,000 per day. Mr. Gilmour also states that the winter has been unusually mild in the interior, with the result that the snow is all gone. This will entail greater cost to millmen in getting out logs for next sum- mer’s cut, as horses will now have to be used. Although some pre- dict a shortage in the lumber cut on that account, he does not think it will be very serious. The mills will be running full blast in about another month. SPRUCE AND OAK PRICES.

Musson, Son & Com- pany review the Barbados lumber market as follows : ‘‘ The only arri- val during the fortnight is the schooner ‘‘ Lewanika ” with 325,- 000 feet of white pine, which had been sold to arrive some time ago, and 25,000 feet spruce which on being placed on offer was sold at $19 round. Stocks of white pine are now sufficient to meet present requirements, but there will proba- bly be an:opening for a couple of cargoes a little later. Spruce lum- ber is in light supply, and with the consequently moderate shipments would do well. Although no arri- vals of shingles have taken place during the fortnight, the position of the market, which is fully stocked, has not improved to any extent, as ‘demand has been very light for all descriptions. We are expecting a cargo of Laying Cedar, which. we are afraid will meet with but. poor prices and may have to. be stored until conditions improve,’ Soft Yellow Pine Finishing LUMBER ‘ Yellow Pine Flooring and Ceiling Long Leaf Yellow Pine Timber California Sugar Pine Shop Lumber J.

Conditions continue wholesome in the lumber trade of Ontario, and trom every district comes the report ofa satistactorydemand. Predictions are made that white pine will be further advanced, but the more con- servative manufacturers are coun- seling a postponement of action in this direction. Nevertheless, the situation is so strong that individual firms are getting prices which repre- sent a new high level, and if there should be no disappointment in re- spect to the volume of the spring trade, a general advance may be expected before the new cut comes onto the market. Hemlock is show- ing decided strength on account of the scarcity of dry stock. Dealers who have booked orders in advance of purchase have found when they undertook to secure the stock that the supply was exhausted to a re- markable extent, and in some in- stances the orders have been filled ataloss. As an indication ot price, we might mention a recent sale of over 200,000 feet of inch stock, four inches and wider, at $14 at the mill. Hardwoods, shingles and _ other branches of the trade are less buoy- ant, but with a hopeful outlook. The late weather has favored log- KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED _Bark’s Falls, Ont.

Sales of No. 1 white pine have been made in Toronto at $5 wholesale. EASTERN CANADA. The spruce market, while firm, is somewhat featureless, as little buy- ing is being done for the British trade. Manufacturers are sold out of dry stock and until the new cut is ready there will not be much activity. The general expectation is for higher prices, which will be brought about mainly by the United States and South American de- mand. There is more life to the shingle trade. While a fortnight ago New Brunswick Extra cedars were offered at $3.50, it would now be difficult to buy any stock from the larger manufacturers less than $3.60, and some are asking $3.65, Boston delivery. Shingles have been selling too low and should be main- tained at the advanced prices. WESTERN CANADA. The spring trade in lumber is developing steadily; but there is still plenty of stock to supply the demand. Retail prices have stiffen- ed'as a result of the higher prices asked by the manufacturers. A British Columbia lumber firm writes to their Winnipeg agent as follows: ‘‘ We beg to advise the following advances: No. 27 E. G. stepping, $5 per M.; No. 26 fir lath, 25 cents; balance oF entire fir list, ‘$1: No.’s 53> 54, 55 and 56 cedar, $2; No.’s 57, 58, 59 and 60 cedar, $2.50; No.’s 65 and 66 cedar, $3; No.’s 74 and 75 cedar, $2. Price of cedar timber, dimensions, shiplap and common boards at points taking fir rate $1 per M. less than fir. This advance is more than justified, in fact is made absolutely necessary by the steadily increasing cost of logs, labor and supplies and is only in line with advances made by lumber manufacturers throughout Canada and the United States.” British Columbia shingles are firmer and the demand improving. Within the post fortnight there has been an advance in Washington of 5 cents in both Stars and Clears, putting these at $1.75 and $1.95 f.o.b. mills. This is helping the Canadian trade.

The situation in the Lake Superior dis- trict ,is one of decided strength, there being an urgent demand from large buyers. It is expected that the Northern Pine Manufacturers’ Association will immediately put into effect a new list making another advance. A northern Min- nesota manufacturer is reported to have sold his entire cut for the sea- son of 1906 at the rate of $24.50 per thousand, mill run, this being an advance of about $5 as compared | with the prices realized a year ago. Shipments of northern pine during February were 40 per cent. above those for the same month in 1905. So much for white pine. Quota- tions for Michigan hemlock are $14.00 for short and $16.00 for long, and it is said that a large percentage of the stock that will be cut in. Michigan this year has al- ready been disposed of. Chicago dealers are paying $17.50 for short lengthsdelivered by water and $1.00 additional for each two feet over sixteen-foot. In the Eastern States hemlock is equally strong, boards being worth $22 at Boston. There is a steady call for spruce lumber at the present high prices, which do not seem to have checked the de- mand to any extent. The hardwoods are not as strong as conditions would warrant, and it is thought that the scarcity of dry stock should bring about an appre- ciation in values. While trade is of average volume, there is not as HE WOODSTOCK LUMBER & MANUFACTURING PINE, HEMLOCK LUMBER.

C., March 12th, _1906.—The raise in the prices of lumber made a week or so ago by the coast manufacturers is, of course, not meeting with unqualified satis- faction from all quarters. Itis con- tended by some that this difference may influence the retailer in the prairie provinces to trade with the mills in Washington state. ‘‘Even Own members were not unani- nous nor entirely satisfied as to the isdom of the raise, though all were t practically agreed that it was a essity,” stated a member of the British Columbia Lumberand Shingle WoLeman Timber Land and LUMDEP GO., rimitea aa Agency and Dealers in all Kinds of TIMBER LANDS ___f Ottawa, room 9 Central Chambers CES.

Association, when asked about the matter. ‘‘The con- tinued scarcity of logs has compell- ed the manufacturers to increase the price of lumber, however much we regarded it as inexpedient at the present time. It may be when fine weather sets in and logs are_plenti- ful, the figures may be brought down to their former level, but just now with logs selling at very nearly the price teceived for rough lumber, little margin is left for the mill- man.” Business is fairly good, and the mills, both on the coast and in the interior, anticipate a busy spring and summer. Not only is domestic trade beginning to be brisk, but the export is well up to the mark. Six ships are now at the Hastings mill in this city, the American barkentine Hawaii, to load for Japan, and the British barque Mozambique, for the United Kingdom, having arrived last » week. Stocks in the mill yards have not diminished during the past months, in fact have been somewhat added to. With the advent of spring and the continuation of the large building operations in Vancouver, this should decrease in size. There is a fair demand for class timbers and special lumber, even at the in- creased prices. The growth and prosperity of the lumber industry in British Columbia is shown by the large number of Eastern Canadians and Americans who are acquiring holdings here. This expansion is noticed both on the coast and in the interior.

A decision of importance to the lumber trade was handed down on February 28th by the Board of General appraisers at New York in the case of Cleveland-Sarnia Sawmills Company. The Com- pany’s protest was against the assessment of duty by the Collector at Port Huron, Mich., on an im- portation invoiced as lumber at 20 per cent. ad valorem under para- graph 198 of the present tariff act for wood manufactured not specially provided for. It was returned by the collector as pine timber 6 x 8, 6 x 10, and 6 x 12 inches in cross sections, 26 to 28 feet in length. The importers claimed that duty should have been assessed at the rate of $1 to $2 per 1,000 feet, board measure, under paragraph 195, or at one cent per cubic foot under paragraph 194 of said act. The decision finds that the mer- chandise is sawn lumber dutiable at $2 per 1,000 feet board meas- ure, The Fuel & Lumber Company, Soft Yellow Pine Finishing Yellow Pine Flooring and Ceiling tong Leaf Yellow Pine Timber California Sugar Pine Shop Lumber C.

The lumber market is now feeling the stimulus of the spring demand, and there is an increased trade in retail lots. Buying is still much in evidence, apparently representing an accumulation of stock by certain interests even at the high prices now ruling. Toronto trade is good, being largely the result of building operations. Permits were issued last week to the value of $222,000 and another season of great activity seems assured. Hemlock is being sold in some quantities to Buffalo, where the supply is short. Several grades of pine have advanced in the Ottawa market, culls being now quoted at $14 to $16 at the mill. There is still a brisk enquiry for lath, and contracts for this year’s production have been closed at prices which would indicate that the trade ex- pect that present values will be II. maintained. All last year’s stock has been picked up. EASTERN PROVINCES. A very hopeful feeling prevades the lumber trade of the Eastern Provinces. There seems to be no falling off in the demand for lumber for the Eastern States, and signs are visible of an improvement in the British market. British deals are quoted on the basis of $13.25 per thousand feet f.o.b. St. John, and this price islikely tobeadvanced. With one exception there has been a sharp advance in the price of boards for the United States trade. This exception is clapboards, which are almost at the same figure as one year ago. The past month has witnessed an improved demand for New Brunswick shingles, of which there is a decided scarcity. Some manufacturers are asking as high as $3.75 for Extras, Boston freight rate. Spruce lath is also a little firmer at $4.25 for 134 inch and $4.35 to $4.50 for 15% inch, Boston delivery. UNITED STATES. As forecasted in last issue, the Northern Pine Manufacturers’ As- sociation, which is composed of the manufacturers of Wisconsin and Minnesota, have put into effect a new price list making an advance of $1 on dimension, boards, fencing and siding ; $2 on inch and thick finish and flooring ; 25 cents on white pine lath ; 50 cents on No. 2 and mixed lath, and 25 cents on 32 inch lath. The new list brings No. 1 white pine lath to $5 f.o.b. Min- neapolis ; No. 1 mixed, $4.75 ; and ING. 2, 94:25. . Lhe Northwestern Hemlock Manufacturers’ Associa- tion took similar action at a meet- ing in Minneapolis on the 16th inst., when all items except sheathing lath were advanced $1. For hem- lock lath, the following prices were fixed: No. 1, 36 x 1%, 4 ft., $4.25; Na. 2, 63-755, 32..10ch) $2, < the market on both pine and hemlock continues very strong on account of the exceptionally heavy demand and light stocks. Spruce is also in a firm position and sold well ahead of the saws. In Boston the cur- rent prices are $25 and $27 for frames, the latter price being for timber running over nine inches. There is a better demand for hard- woods consequent upon the ap- proach of the spring trade. Birch KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. Keenan Bros., CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION is selling well and there is a call for basswood and maple, but the sup- ply of these is comparatively large. GREAT BRITAIN. The light supply of lumber in Great Britain is at last having its natural effect upon prices and im- porters who were not disposed to consider offers made by shippers a few weeks ago are now anxious to close contracts at higher prices. For an ordinary specification of spruce 48 per standard c.i.f. Liver- pool is willingly paid. Red pine deals are not moving very actively, but sales have been made at £8 15s to 49 for 3 x 7 and 8 inch, and 410 55 to S10 158 for 3 ag inch. The advance in spruce is ex- p2cted to bring about an increased inquiry for hemlock, which is now quoted at £6 5s per. standard. First class waney pine is said to have realized an advance of 3d per foot above last season’s quotations, ruling prices being: 3s 8d per foot for 24 x 28, and 2d more foi longer stock. Quebec birch is bringing 22d for 16 inch average, 25d for 17 inch, and 2s 4d for 18 inch, and it is reported that some shippers are anticipating 2s 5d for the latter size. THE OTTAWA. VALLEY. (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) Otrawa, March 21, 1906.—The British buyers have been in the Ottawa Valley for some time, but the prices they are offering do not tempt the local manufacturers to part with their stock. The keen demand for lumber in the United States has sent the prices up to a mark beyond which the English Luyers will go. Instead of manu- facturing deals for shipping across the sea it looks as if a vaster quan- tity of lumber than usual will be manufactured into the thinner sizes this year and sent to the United States. Gilmour:& Hughson will cut for the American market xclu- sively. The W. C. Edwards Company or J. R. Booth have not disposed of the season’s output and they feel disposed to insist on a higher figure than has yet been given before making a sale. The British agents say that all the lumbermen are ask- ing the highest prices in the history ot the trade. The prices are more than ten per cent. above the con- KILN-DRIED BIRGH FLOORING MASON, GORDON & = | - Limited Owen Sound, Ont. HARDWOOD, HEMLOGK AND PINE LUMBER We carry a full supply of native Hardwoods always on hand and solicit your inquiries. At the present time we have piled at outside points about 2,000,000 feet of Hard- woods, and about the same quantity of Hardwood, Hemlock and Pine piled here in Owen Sound, and we should be able to interest you if in the market. WILL MAKE SPECIAL PRICES ON BROKEN LOTS AT OUTSIDE POINTS -before. tracts made last season. The only big sales for the 1906 cut are the East Templeton Lumber Company and the John Maclaren Lumber Company, of Buckingham, both sold to Watson & Todd. The Hawkes- bury Lumber Company, like Booth and Edwards, has not acceptge. an offer yet for its output. The local lumbermen believe the figures on the British market will have to advance before they can keep the Canadian lumber from go- ing almost entirely across the border. On all grades the United States buyers are paying from $1 to $3 more than paid a year ago. Manu- facturers and buyers decline to state the exact prices paid for purchases of complete outputs, but they are unanimous in asserting that the market has an upward tendency such as has never been experienced The most active demand is for white pine. On account of the bad hauling all season some lumber- men despair of getting out their whole pine cut. The situation is a striking contrast with last season, when the sleighing was good in the woods till March 24th. Looking back upon the 1906 win- ter,lumbermen realize that the Janu- ary and February thaws crippled their operations to what has proved to be a quite serious extent. Basswood and birch have strength- ened considerably and desirable lots are being picked up quickly. Prices are very irregular in birch and only that sawn under the best con- ditions and in modernly equipped TS Se March 28, 1906 mills command the top prices. The 7 best birch piles are being held at figures that astonish the buyers. The prices are more buoyant ‘thas ; last year on account of the sma cut, which is about half what it wa in the season of 1905. Some logs . could not be taken out owing to the rapid disappearance of the snow. The chief scenes of opera- tions in birch timber during the sea- son were the Gatineau, Parry Sound and Labelle rivers. In open re- gions along these streams the ground was so bare that hauli operations were hindered oe most of the time. The small mil will have a meagre output, as th ey Operate in the most unfavorable districts. hia A The choicest winter cut basswood ~ is selling for $24 per thousand for mill run, with mill culls out. __ The market for shingles is very active,the demand in both the Unit-_ ed States and local markets being keen. Building was so _ buoyant ~ last year as to exhaust the stores and the prices which went upwards — never declined. Laths are scarcer still than shingles. The demand is — due entirely to a building boom on 4 both sides of the border. » 7s y . Ph oy REMOVAL NOTICE.

(Correspondence of the CanaDa LUMBERMN,): St Joun, N.B., March 2oth, 1906.—Reports from logging oper- ations both in the lower counties: and the up-river districts tell of a snecessful_ finishing up of the winter’s work as far as hauling’ is concerned. Conjecture is now rife as to how the driving season will turn out. Whileit is rather early to say much in this regard, the general opinion among those versed in the matter is that the indications are all quite favorable. The English market is showing increased strength week by week and the local feeling consequently tends toward higher prices. The prosperous condition of the Ameri- can markets is having and will have an important effect upon the markets of the United Kingdom. A tangible cause of this effect is found in the fact that, while the present prices or similar figures are available in the United States, American manufac- turers who do business in Canada, and particularly those of the Mari- time Provinces, will secure as many ‘‘American” logs as possible. In some cases large quantities of dutiable lumber will be shipped to the U.S. markets. Local stocks of ‘‘English’’ are dwindling rapidly and such parcels. as are being sent forward by the winter liners are in most cases being brought by rail from portable plants at inland points. None of the local mills will be sawing before mid-May and that means July rst before any important quantity will be-ready” to -go forward. The re- ceipts from the portable mills mentioned above will have practi- cally ceased with the going of the snow, which can scarcely last more than a week or ten days more at WHITE OAK Bill Timber up to 4o feet long, 16 inches square and under—quick delivery.

In spite of the drawbacks occa- sioned by the scarcity of snow, there will be a large output of lum- ber from Albert county this year. In addition to the stationary mills at Albert and West River, numerous portable mills are in operation. One of the largest operators is P. J. McClellan, of Riverside, who has four crews and two mills almost continuously at work. Near the Standard Lake, Mr. McCleljan has a large crew cutting logs that are being hauled to the Wright steam mill at Memel, which is running night and day, making deals, boards and laths. Operations will probably be continued by these crews right through the summer. At Midway Mr. McClellan’s portable mill has cut over a million feet, and after sawing a cut for Charles Hawkes, it will be moved to Albert to saw Mr. McClellan’s other cut of a million or more from the Crooked Creek work.

Inquiries are plentiful, but the volume of business is restricted by the scarcity of stock. Building operations in Toronto are exceptionally brisk, the value of permits granted during the past three months being approximately $1,900,000, compared with $1, 200,- ooo for the corresponding three months of 1905. There is naturally a heavy demand for building lumber and this promises to increase as the season advances. Prices are strong with little prospect of weakening in the near future. Manufacturers have sold a considerable proportion of the new cut of white pine and dealers whose stocks are running low are urging that their orders be filled immediately upon the resump- tion of sawing operations. Lath is being bought in some quantities even at the higher prices. Car load lots of No. 1 white pine are bringing $5 in the Ottawa Valley, but the range for the new cut is from $4.25 to $4.50. On account of the light production of logs last winter, the hardwood market has strengthened. There is also some improvement in the demand. WESTERN CANADA, The tendency of lumber prices in Western Canada is towards a higher range. The Washington Log & Brokerage Association last week advanced the price of logs 50 cents and $1 per thousand feet. Flooring logs are now quoted at $11, merchantable $8.50, and No. 2 $6. These are the highest quota- KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. Keenan Bros., CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION tions ever made on logs in the Puget Sound district. Prices for British Columbia logs are now $9.50, $8 and $6 respectively for first, second and third grades, and even at these prices the supply is by no means plentiful. Coupled with the above facts is an exceptionally brisk de- mand for lumber in all branches. The spring movement has com- menced about two weeks earlier than usual and orders for building materials are being received faster than they can be filled. A manu- facturer of lumber, writing to the CANADA LUMBERMAN, says: ‘‘ The lumber conditions have improved very much in the past two months and I am now looking forward to one of the best years in the history of the lumber business of the West.” UNITED STATES. So great is the demand for lum- ber that there is a scarcity of stock in nearly all markets. The high prices have apparently not restricted the consumption, buyers being now more anxious to close contracts than at any previous time this year. Prices have moved in one direction only and that direction upwards. The Oregon pine mills last week added one dollar to the price of Oregon pine, and the cargo mills at Washington are contemplating an advance on toreign cargoes from $13.50 to $15 athousand feet. The Wisconsin Hardwood Association, at their spring meeting on March 27th, received a most encouraging report as to market conditions, onthe strength of which it was decided to advance the price list. The follow- ing prices were fixed for hardwoods f.o.b. Wausau: Inch log run ash, $25; inch log run birch, $19; inch log run basswood, $20.50; inch log run soft elm, $20; 1% to 2 inch, $21; 1 to 2 inch log run soft maple, $16; inch log run hard maple, $14. Hardwood stocks are considerably lighter than one year ago and the spring demand which is now show- ing itself promises to clean up the holdings of old stock. GREAT BRITAIN, Reports received from the British market speak very hopefully of spruce, which seems to be steadily gaining strength. Some of the lar- ger buyers who have been hanging back have now entered the market, but are finding that they must pay a substantial advance over what they could have bought for a few KILN-DRIED BIRGH FLOORING Limited Owen Sound, Ont.

The Davidson Lumber Company, of Bridgewater, N.S., are shipping about 50 carloads of lumber a week to the United States and South America. The bark Stenbiek, carrying 1,500 oco cf lumber from the Fraser River Sawmills, New Westminster, B. C., sailed last week for Valpar- aiso, Chili. Three more vessels have been chartered to load lumber at the Hastings mill, Vancouver, B. C., one being for Cape Town, South Africa, and the two others for the United Kingdom.

All the square timber coming into the harbor for exporta- tion passes the Government cullers -_andincases of dispute they give certificates of measurements. But _ the trade has so diminished that six cullers are enough for the present season. It is possible that legisla- ‘tion will be introduced this session reorganizing the culling system or abolishing the office altogether. The buyers of the cuts mentioned _ for this year are W. & J. Sharples and Dobell, Beckett & Company. _ Many manufacturers are sold out of lath. On this account the price _ keeps up and buyers are compelled _ to pay the remarkably high figure of $5 per thousand for the No. 1 _ white:pine variety. It is not ex- pected that when the mills begin sawing the top prices will keep up, _ but at present manufacturers are inclined to believe no slump will take place. The demand for pine mill culls at _ the Ottawa mills is exceedingly strong and scarcely any other line ‘of lumber has undergone so rapid ‘an advance in price. Spring build- ‘ing operations is the cause of this buoyancy. The village of Hintonburg, near Ottawa, advertised for tenders for the supply of lumber for the sum- _ mer’s operations and accepted the tender of G. M. Mason at $16 a _ thousand for two inch hemlock of all widths. _ ‘J._M.

Booth was in Montreal the other day to attend a conference of lumbermen with regard to squatting on reserves in Quebec. The lumber- men have lost heavily by speculation of this kind. The squatters do not remain but sell toothers. The con- vention will ask the Quebec Govern- ment to legislate against transfers of timber limits upon this system. The Booth firm did not cut as much timber on the south side of the Ottawa river this year as last. Operations were more successful on the north side, but on the whole there will be a shortage compared with the previous term. It is be- lieved the W. C. Edwards cut will be larger than last season, only a few logs remaining at any of the shanties. THE BARBADOS MARKET. Under date of March roth, Messrs. S. P.

At meetings of the Penobscot Lumbering Association and the Mattawamkeag Log Driving Com- pany, held at Bangor, Maine, last week, the general report was that the season 1905-06 had been very favorable for logging on Penobscot waters. In some parts of Maine operations, especially hauling from the yards to the landings, have been greatly impeded on account of lack of snow, but in all parts of the Penobscot River system, except on the lower East branch and the Pas- sadumkeag, conditions have been very favorable with just enough snow for easy hauling, and it is expected that every log will reach the landings. The log cut of principal branches of the Penobscot is roughly estimat- ed as follows: West branch, 70,- 000,000 feet, of which 50,000,000 feet is for the Great Northern Paper III. Co.; East branch, 58,000,000 to 60,000,000 feet, including 13,000,- ooo feet of logs hung up last year, and of which 8,000,000 will go to pulp mills; Mattawamkeag River, about 12,000,000 feet, all saw logs; Piscataquis, 15,000,000 feet, of which 8,000,000 will go to pulp mills. This would leave a total of 197,000,000, about 107,000,000 feet of saw logs to come to Penobscot boom, for the supply of saw mills at and below Old Town, chiefly at Bangor, as - follows: West branch, 45,000,000 to 50,- 000,000; Mattawamkeag,_ 18,000,- 000; Passadumkeag, 12,000,000 ; Piscataquis, 7,000,000.

BECK Mrc. Co., Lid., Penetan- guishene, Ont. CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. : ONTARIO. The high price of white pine lumber is not restricting business to any extent. Several large sales have lately been made by the Ottawa valley manufacturers for export to Great Britain, and at prices higher than those which were realized a year ago. Dry stock is so Scarce that prices are very firm, with the demand gradually expand- ing. In Western Ontario there is much. interest in hemlock. The new cut is being offered and has found buyers at $13, but there is also a disposition to hold off in the hope that the price may weaken a little when the new stock is ready for the market. The log drives are now the all absorbing question. If they should reach the mills safely, prospective lumber ‘buyers claim that the cut will be large and prices recede, but manufacturers point out that the cost of logging the past winter was excessive and that there will be no break in prices under the good demand now prevailing. Hardwoods are steady, with an improving demand for the lower grades of birch. The shingle market is getting more active and prices are about ten cents higher. B. C. shingles are meeting with a ready sale on account of the scarcity of the white pine variety. UNITED STATES. In some portions of the Southern States heavy rains have interfered with the movement of lumber, but in all other districts business con- tinues exceptionally good. There is still a heavy demand for common and coarse lumber, with stocks badly broken. The Northern pine district is carrying practically none i ‘Ig CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION of last year’s cut in first hands, and a large proportion of the cut for the coming season has been sold for delivery as soon as manufactured. It is estimated that the cut of logs on the upper Mississippi River and tributaries during the past winter was 480,000,000 feet, which com- pares with 530,000,000 for the pre- ceding winter. The hemlock market is very firm. Michigan stock is being quoted at about $18 base delivered on the dock at Tonawanda. Among thehardwoods, quite favorable reports are given about basswood, which is at last coming to the front again. The mills are still carrying a fairly heavy stock and consequently prices are not likely to advance very much until this is reduced, but the outlook for basswood is no doubt much brighter than one year ago. Birch is also moving somewhat liberally and the hardwood trade generally is showing more life. Shingles are stronger. In Boston New Bruns- wick ‘‘Extra” cedars are held as high as $3.75 and it is almost impossible to secure a quotation below $3.60. GREAT BRITAIN. Our reports this week from the British market deal almost exclus- ively with spruce, which is demand- ing a greal deal of attenticn on account of its manifest strength. For early cargoes of New Bruns- wick spruce, 48 7s 6d per standard c.i.f. for an ordinary specification is asked, and buyers are being urged to close contracts on the “ground that the present outlook is for an advance to £8 10s. At a recent auction sale in London 3 x 9 inch second quality Quebec spruce, II feet lengths, sold at 4910s. Birch planks, on the other hand, are said to be a little easier and this has also been reflected in the price of birch timber. The highest price yet paid this season for the latter is 2s 6d for 20 inch average. Quebec exporters of square and waney pine are reported to have secured the usual number of orders at fair prices. The stock is light and the statistical position consequently quite healthy. J. J. Sweeney, of Sackville, N.B., has sawn about a million feet of lumber for Frank Maxwell, of that place. KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. Keenan Bros., DISCOLORATION IN LUMBER. We have been requested to solicit the views of the lumber trade as to the best process or means by which lumber can be prevented from dis- coloring in the muggy weather of the summer months. Many of our readers have no doubt made ex- periments along this line, and we shall be glad to publish any com- munications on the subject which may be submitted. THE LOG PRODUCTION IN QUEBEC. The winter has been most favor- able for banking logs in Eastern Quebec, and nearly all the logs made have been kauled out to the different streams. John Breakey, of Chaudiere Mills, is reported to have made 600,000 logs, part to be converted into sawn lumber, but the bulk will likely be turned into pulpwood. Lumber Company, of Scott Junc- tion, have made 175,000 saw logs and 15,000 cords pulpwood. These two firms will make a big drive on the Chaudiere river, apart from the quantity made by others operating on the same river. On the Etchemin river, Henry Atkinson has got out about 60,000 saw logs and 6,000 cords of pulp- wood. This, in conjunction with a large part of last year’s cut which was only partially driven and did not reach the mills, will make a busy spring on the above river and its branches. Price Brothers & Company, Limit- ed, with mills at St. Thomas de Montmagny, have made 100,000 saw logs and 35,000 cords of pulp- wood, 4 ft. They, like others, were unfortunate last year on the drive, and left the bulk of their cut on the river to be driven this year with this winter’s cut. On the River St. Anne, Mr. Ord- way, for his company, hac a very successful season, making 225,000 logs, 13 ft. Last year he left some 275,000 logs in the river, all of which he expects to drive to the mill this year and turn into pulp- wood, say, 15,000 cords of pulp- wood. Most of the lumbermen in the Gaspe district have completed their logging operations for this season, having been successful in getting everything to the streams, the Cal- houn Lumber Company, Limited, being the only exception. At the KILN-DRIED BIRGH FLOORING Limited Owen Sound, Ont. HARDWOUD, MEMLOGK AND PINE LUMBER We carry a full supply of native Hardwoods always on hand and solicit your inquiries.

The weather during the logging season was very favorable for this work throughout the entire Gaspe Peninsula, and the average cut of logs will exceed that of last season considerably. The late heavy falls of snow brightened the prospects for successful stream driving. These conditions, together with the buoyant tone of the British and American markets for spruce, tend to inspire a feeling of confidence throughout lumber circles. It is reported that the York Lum- ber Company are about to sell their extensive limits and mill, plant to the Rathbun Lumber Company, of Deseronto, Ont. The last named firm is reported as being largely in- terested in the Grand Valley Lum- ber Company. This being so, will give them very extensive limits in the Gaspe district. THE OTTAWA VALLEY. (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) Orrawa, April 7th, 1906.—Some large contracts have just been clos- ed in the Ottawa Valley for the 1906 output of white pine and red pine. The J. R. Booth firm have sold between 65 per cent. and 75 per cent. of their pine cut to J. Burstall & Company and Robert Cox & Company. The W. C. Edwards Company have disposed of their red and white pine cut to Watson & Todd. The lumbermen HE WOODSTOCK LUMBER —& MANUFACTURING CO, PINE, HEMLOCK LUMBER. CAN SUPPLY Correspondence Solicited.

Sr. Joun, N. B.. April 5th, 1906. ~ —The month has been cold and the ice in the rivers of New Brunswick has wasted but little. This circum- stance is very disappointing to the lumber manufacturers of this particu- - lar section, who, with one exception, _ have no logs at hand but must de- _ pend upon the bank logs from the _ brooks and rivers in the neighboring counties.

The demand for these logs, which are almost exclusively spruce, is naturally very brisk and the greater part of them, while still unavailable because of the ice, have been already bought up. Such lots as are offer- ing day by day are readily disposed of at prices ranging from $12.50 to $13.00 per M ft. for deal logs, two- thirds price for battens. A feature which is causing much anxiety to local log operators is the possibility that the logs which have been hung in the main St. John since last year, or a part of them, may run out with the ice before the booms are swung at Fredericton. These logs, which are estimated at 50,000,000 feet, are owned almost entirely by St. John and Fredericton parties. If the ice wastes away and melts out gradually, the probabilities are that the logs will be taken care of by the Fredericton Boom Com- pany, as usual, but if the ice remains strong and runs out suddenly be- cause of a sudden rise of water it will be impracticable to swing the booms, and the logs, or a portion of them, will run past Fredericton and be seattered along the river. Arrangements will be made to have crews of men and tugs equipped with booms and lines ready to start from St. John at short notice to roundup the logs along the river wherever possible, thus preventing them from going to sea. To take care of logs in this way costs in the vicinity of $3.00 per M feet over and above the usual cost. A feature of the trade during the fortnight has been the appearance of a tendency toward weakness in the price of spruce lath.

The war- mer weather is accelerating build- ing activity and this in turn is em- phasizing the shortage in the lum- ber supply. There is a very ur- gent demand for white pine of the lower grades and hemlock. There is practically no dry hemlock on the market and consequently prices are nominal. The seller can obtain al- most any price he asks. Contracts have been made for green hemlock to be shipped as soon as sawn anc we understand that as high as $15 at the mill has been paid. There will no doubt be a large cut of hem- lock this season, but present indi- cations are that the consumption will be correspondingly large and that there will be no accumulation of stock beyond reasonable limits. More of this class of lumber is like- ly to be exported to the Eastern States than in any previous year. The hardwood trade is getting into better shape, with indications of higher prices in the near future. Shingles are moving quite liberal- ly. B.C. red cedars for Ontario delivery have this week been ad- vanced ten cents, which makes. the price $3.15 for XXX and $3.37 for XXXX. Some retail dealers in Toronto have also advanced prices, but action in this respect has not been unanimous. WESTERN CANADA. The lumber market of Western Canada is gradually strengthening. There isa good demand for bothlum- ber and shingles and this promises to expand as the season advances. Most of the mills have a consider- able number of orders on their books and there is no pressure what- ever to sell stock. The conditions arein favor of higher prices, but there is not likely to be such an ad- vance as will restrict consumption. The manufacturers in the Mountain district of British Columbia are ex- pected to raise their prices in the near future. A further advance of ro cents in B. C. shingles has taken place, bringing the price for XXX for Eastern shipment to $1.95. UNITED STATES. On account of the opening of navigation on the Great Lakes, the lumber business is more animated than at any previous time this year. "ANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOOD WORKER If. = * Ay Py Cs oe 1 2 aad @ EP ae eee CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION Efforts are being made to move lumber as quickly as possible to wholesale points, at some of which stocks have been badly broken by the abnormal winter and early spring demand. The price situation is as strong as ever, with no sign of weakening. Dealers are not dis- posed to load up with exceptionally heavy stocks, but the volume of orders coming to them makes it necessary to keep their yards well supplied if they are not to lose business. The spruce supply is reported as alittle larger, but the demandcontinuesexcellent. Frames tro to 12 inch are still quoted at Boston at $27, and g inch and under at $25. The hardwood situation is steadily improving. The Hardwood Record is authority for the statement that there is not ‘one hardwood manufacturer in twenty throughout Wisconsin and Michigan who has not sold a good portion of his entire cut of. the season. Fully 75 per cent. of the birch, basswood, maple and beech output is said to have been contracted for, this proportion of advance sales being greater than ever before in the history of the trade. Basswood is doing better, with quotations of $20 to $23 at mill points. .GREAT BRITAIN. The retail trade of Great Britain does not seem to respond to the strength shown by wholesale trans- actions. Still, compared with a year ago, business is good, and when consumers become convinced that prices are not likely to recede, they will no doubt contract for their requirements. “Whitewood from Sweden and Finland has advanced 25s a standard during the past few months, and this, of course, is mak- ing it easier to sell spruce. The stock of lumber on hand is so much less than one year ago that higher prices are predicted. The stock of square and waney pine timber at Liverpool is 64,000 cubic feet less ‘than a year ago. Of Quebec pine deals at Liverpool there is only 8,500 standards, as against 12,000 standards in April, 1905. At a recent public sale in London 3xg inch second quality spruce brought 1os per standard and 3x7 inch £8 10s. Laths and flooring are in good demand. The action of the Bank of England in reducing their rate of discount is expected to ‘KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. Keenan Bros., have a good effect upon the general trade of the country. BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER. (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) Vancouver, B. C., April oth, 1906.—‘* The shingle business is fair,” remarked Mr. McNair, of the Hastings Shingle Manufacturing Company this morning, when asked concerning conditions. ‘‘The de- mand, while not what might be called brisk, is good from both Canadian and American points. During the winter, when the former market was. slack, considerable amounts oi shingles were shipped into the United States, notwith- standing the duty. Prices have been advanced locally on, the XXX from $1.85 to.$2, but they remain at $1.85 for shipping. None of the manufacturers are taking orders too far ahead, as it is probable that a raise in prices will take place this week. Labor and raw material are both scarce and are costing more than formerly, and it is felt that an increase should be made. This will apply particularly to XXX, which may go as high as $2 for shipping. As to the other grades, the prices of these generally depend on the supply and the demand, the XXX being the only real standard.” The lumber industry all through is good, one of the features of the activity being the large number of Americans constantly coming in. They are taking up timber both on the coast and in the interior, some on crown granted land, and some on provincial lands. A number of new mills are spoken of. ‘“‘The present good conditions will probably continue all year,” a millman_ stated to-day. Ss "Dhe market just now is fine, and all the mills are kept busy. There has been no objection raised in respect to the recent increase in prices, which was necessitated because of the stringency in the log market and the greater cost of production. The Mountain Lumber Manufacturers’ Association will doubtless put up its figures to correspond with those of the coast mills at the next meet- ing. Logs have gone atrifle higher, and are now at the top notch, running $6, $8.50 and $10 accord- ing to the quality. No, I hardly think there will be a plentiful supply of logs this summer, even if the camps are more in number. There KILN-DRIED_BIRGH FLOORING MASON, GORDON &CO._- 80 St. Francis Xavier Stret wHores4-? LUMBER and TIMBER Limited Owen Sound, Ont. HARDWOOD, HENLOGK AND PINE LUMBER We carry a full supply of native Hardwoods always on hand and solicit your inquiries.

WILL MAKE SPECIAL PRICES ON BROKEN LOTS AT OUTSIDE POINTS is a number of new mills starting up, and they will take any surplus on the present production, and will keep the supply still scarce. It takes as long these days to install a good logging camp as it does to put up a mill, so I do not look for any glut of logs.” In the interior of the province the mills are all preparing for a large cut. The Crow’s Nest Pass Lum- ber Company expect to have 20,- 000,000 feet of timber ready for the saw by May 1st ; the Yale Columbia Lumber Company have just Jet the largest contract for timber in the Grand Forks district, being for ten million feet to ranchers on the main branch of the Kettle river ; The S. H. Bowman Company, of Revel- stoke and Compalix, have seven camps going on Fish river, and the Kamloops Lumber Company have cut 11,000,000 feet this winter. Friends of Mr. George McCor- mick, of the Kamloops Lumber Company, are congratulating him upon the birth of a little daughter, which took place last week. The Elk Lumber and Manufactur- ing Company, of Fernie, have de- cided to install a factory for the manufacture of furniture. They have experimented with the various woods, and found that they are suit- able for furniture purposes. This will be the first factory of its kind in this province, which is deemed rather strange, as there is an abund- ance of good timber, with high prices for the finished product.

Burrows, of Grandview, has — secured about 15,000,000 feet of logs, John Simmott about 4,000,000 © feet, and Mundle and Harper abcut © 2,000,000 each. The Ontario Government has ac- 4 cepted the tender of A. McPherson & Company, of Longford Mills, for the red and white pine cut along — the Temiskaming & Northern On- — tario Railway, passing through the Temagami forest reserve, which timber is being cut as a precaution- ery measure against fire. It is — understood that McPherson & Company’s offer was $15.10 a thousand feet, the company bearing f the expense of removing the timber. The total pine cut will be between 3,000,000 and 5,000,000 feet. The prices offered for the cedar, spruce and other woods cut were considered - i too law. , The Department of the Interior, Ottawa, are asking for tenders up to Wednesday, May 16th, for a li- cense to cut timber on Berth No. 1258, in the Province of Manitoba, containing an area of 5.38 square miles.

Short girthy wood is difficult to move, and is quoted at from 2/8 to 3/. Price of second class ranges from 2/ to 2/6, but the demand for same is slow. SQuaRE.—There has been little demand. Stocks remain at about an average. Quotations are from 2/8 to 3/ for first class wood 35 to 40 feet average. For the lower qualities there is no demand. Rep PinE—Is seldom asked for, and there is practically no stock on hand. Considering the level that pitch pine has reached, it is pro- bable that enquiry will spring up for red pine later on. Erm—Has gone well into con- sumption. Stocks are normal. Prime wood 45 feet average is quot- ed at from 3/10 to 4/. AsH.—The stock of this wood is very low, and as there are several enquiries, early parcels would do well. BircH.—Some parcels have ar- rived against contracts and have been delivered ex quay.

It does not appear that the high price of lumber is restricting local building operations in the slightest — degree, for the activity in that line is even more pronounced than one year ago. The difficulty of securing suitable lumber, on account of broken stocks, has caused some in- ~ convenience, but usually substitutes have been found. Dimension tim- ber finds a very ready market in the Ottawa Valley district, and at prices which represent a considerable ad- vance. No southern pine of any account is now coming into Ontario, ~ and in the absence ofa sufficient supply of white pine, orders for fir are being placed with the British Columbia mills. The market has also tempted one or two Washing- ton manufacturers, whose represent- atives have recently been in Toronto seeking some of the spring trade. The seller who can make quick de- livery usually secures the order. The lath market continues firm, with much speculation as to the course of prices later in the season when the new cut has to be reckon- ed with. At present the buyer must be content with whatever price is named. One firm is said to be splitting pickets into lath. In Tor- onto No. I white pine are retailing at $5.50. All grades of shingles are stronger, the recent advance in B. C. red cedars having caused a stiffening in the white varieties. The spring trade also is responsible for more activity, at k f amt EASTERN CANADA. The spruce branch of the Eastern lumber trade is ina very satisfactory condition from the standpoint of de- mand. There has all along been. a ready market for United States stock and British buyers are now showing a strong disposition to contract for deals. If the logs should reach the mills in large quantities, there will doubtless be marked activity during the summer and fall months. Prices are quite firm. Therehas been a very en- couraging recovery in the cedar shingle market. For Boston delivery the price of Extras has now reached $3:75 for the product of well-known manufacturers, but there are still some producers who are. willing to contract for May delivery at $3.60. Clears are equally strong, being quoted at.$3.10 to $3.20 on Boston freight rate. : ipl UNITED STATES. The lumber market of the United States looks good from every point of view. The figures of. building operations for the month of March show an average gain of 54 per cent. in 27 cities over the- same monthlof 1905, while 19 cities show- ing losses average but 38 per cent. The industries throughout the country, are in a prosperous condition, and it appears that there will be a heavy consumption ° of lumber. When the light stocks are taken into consideration, there is no ground on which to base a pre- diction of lower prices. Much will depend, of course, upon the out- come of the harvest, and in this connection it may be said that the condition of the winter wheat is almost as good as last year, when there was a record crop. The White Pine Association of Buffalo and Tonawanda took no action last week towards advancing prices, although it was stated at the meet- ing that business was good and prospects for the season exceedingly bright. New York is still bidding for spruce and is also taking considerable hemlock, the delivery price of the latter being about $22. The hardwoods are moving a trifle more freely on account of an increased demand from the furniture manufacturers. The lath market is still attracting considerable atten- tion. White pine recently brought $6 in Pittsburg, and hemlock almost Il. as much. Spruce lath are steady at the recent decline. For Boston livery the price is about $4 to or 1% and $4. 25 to 4.50 for GREAT BRITAIN. At the last public sale in London 3.x 11 inch white pine of third quality, from Montreal, brought #12 15s and £12 10s per standard of 1980 feet, while 3 x 9 inch un- assorted Quebec spruce sold readily at £9 10s, Montreal thirds at 59 5s, and Breakey’s Quebec thirds at £9 15s. The strength of the spruce situation is generally admit- ted and for future delivery prices rule about £8 5s per standard c.i.f. London and_ Liverpool. Some buyers, however, are inclined to adopt a reticent attitude until the position of the log drives in Eastern Canada is more definitely deter- mined. Apparently they are of the opinion that if all the logs reach the mills prices may recede, but in view of the large market in the United States for Canadian spruce, there seems little prospect of lower prices being reached this year. There has arisen a brisk demand for American oak wagon scantling, prices of which have advanced sharply during the past month. Birch timber, on the other hand, is easier, arrivals from the Eastern . Provinces having been quite large of late. STOCKS AND PRICES. There has been an _ unusually large cut of logs on the Canaan River, in New Brunswick, this sea- son. West and White are said to have sccured 12,000,000 feet be- tween them. I. R. Todd, of St. Stephen, N.B., has about 3,000 cords of poplar pulp wood to be shipped from Cole’s Island and Pickett’s Cove, N.B. The wood will go to Yar- mouthville, Maine, but may not be shipped this summer on account of high freight rates. D. D: Glasier & Sons estimate the quantity of loose logs of last year’s cut in the St. John river, be- low Grand Falls, N.B., at 9,000,- ooo feet. These are expected to come down with the ice. Above Grand Falls there are said to be about 15,000,000 feet of last year’s logs in the water. The F.H. Watkins Lumber Com- pany, 1 Madison avenue, New York, KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. Keenan Bros., KILN-DRIED_BIRGH CANADA LUMBERMAN have arranged to handle 20,000,000 feet of Canadian spruce this year, about 12,000,000 of which will be supplied by the Trois Pistoles Pulp & Lumber Company, of Trois Pistoles, Que. They will also handle about 4,00v,000 feet of New Bruns- wick white pine and some spruce lath. ¢ A correspondent at North Bay, Ont., writes the CANADA LUMBER- MAN as follows: ‘‘I can safely say that no logs of any consequence will be left in the woods in the district this season, but if the weather con- tinues much longer as it is, it will take heavy rains to bring out the drives in small creeks. [ am of the opinion that, compared with last year, the cut of pine was greater, and that of the other woods smaller.” Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son and Company refer to the Barbados lumber market as follows: The cnly arrival during the fortnight has been the schooner Marguerite, from Meteghan, N.S., to ourselves, with 100,000 feet of spruce and hemlock, for which we obtained $23 for ship- ping and $19 for second quality spruce, while we sold the small lot of hemlock at $18. These small arrivals have not affected the market to any great extent and further re- ceipts of both white pine and spruce would bring about late prices. The schooner Marguerite brought down 10,000 Extra No. 1 cedar laying shingles, for which we obtained $1.67.. Stocks of this description are very heavy and demand light on account of the prevailing, dry weather. THE OTTAWA VALLEY. (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN ) Orrawa, April 20th, 19g06.—An active market for lumber continues in the Ottawa Valley. The lumber- men who have just been visited by the British buyers report that these purchasers have wakened up to the necessity of paying high for the product of Canadian mills. About one-third of the lumber output of the Ottawa Valley has been sold for export across the Atlantic. Since the deal was disposed of in this way the demand for the stock which is b@ught by the United States has grown more active and prices are at the top notch. The prospects are that there will be no decline in quotations in the near future. While the prices are considered Limited Owen Sound, Ont.

WEEKLY EDITION high, they do not compare with those of the Georgian Bay district and the adjacent states across the border. This condition is under- stood by the manufacturers of the Ottawa Valley to ensure a continu- ance of the present buoyancy of the trade. The competition from the West has had the effect in the past of keeping down local prices. It is believed that purchases of Jumber in Ottawa at present rates are good holdings. The quantity of lumber that will be manufactured in Ottawa the com- ing season will vot be enough to meet the the usual demand for do- mestic and export trade. Ottawa manufacturers will have the whole local field to themselves, for the high prices in the west will keep the product of that district from coming east. Just now large quantities of - lumber and lath are going from the Ottawa district to the western dealers. Spruce is keeping very firm and sales are all at large advances on the ruling prices of a year ago. The usual quantity will be cut -in the mills, which have begun the season’s operations.

(Correspondence of the CANADA BUMBERMAN.) Sr. Joun, N.B., April 20th, 1906. _—The weather so far during April has been extremely cold and back- _ ward, a circumstance which has re- tarded the opening of the lumber manufacturing season in this sec- pees The ice in the St. John is still strong and it will be at least a fort- night before the logs from even the nearby streams begin to arrive at the local mills. _ The outlook for stream driving on the St. John, the Restigouche and Miramichi is spoken of as the most favorable for many years. _ The cold weather has prevented any _ wasting of the snow in the woods and when the warm weather comes _ the volume of water in the streams will be, it is confidently expected, sufficient to drive out both the logs which were cut in the winter just past and those which were hung up _ from the previous year. Ifa clean _ drive is made it is estimated that the - total quantity of logs coming down = the St. John River this year will be in the vicinity of 150,000,000 feet, _ of which the much greater part will be spruce. The local feeling in regard to “English” spruce deals has shown _ acontinuation of the firmness men- tioned a month ago and at this date the prospect for the coming summer has the appearance of fully sus- taining present values and with x ery probability of gaining ground. Shipments to Great Britain from St. John during the next two months will consist almost entirely of such rcels as come by rail from inland ints. The total volume of these shipments will be tar below the average for May and June.

That the begining of a period of stimulus in the ‘‘English” deal trade has arrived is generally believed and all indications lead to the conclusion that the prices available during the coming summer and fall will show a material advance on the average figures which prevailed last year. For summer delivery a specifica- tion of ‘‘English” spruce deals con- taining say 50 per cent 7's and 8’s, 35 per cent 9’s and 15 per cent wides, could not be bought less than from $13.50 to $13.75 per M. sup feet, f.0.b. St. John. For one inch spruce boards the Outlook is very encouraging. Trade in this line has been somewhat draggy during the past two years, and local stocks have during that period augmented considerably. At this date about 500,000 sup. feet are to be seen on local wharves. Compared with an average price for some years of $10. oo per M feet, $11.00 to $11.25 is now asked for dutiable goods. Freight rates on deals to the West Coast of Great Britain have been steadily weakening, and rock bot- tom has recently been reached, charters having been made at 355 per standard. RED CEDAR SHINGLES. The recént advance in the price of British Columbia red cedar shin- gles did not come as a surprise. Owing to the-high cost of logs the manufacturers have found it abso- lutely necessary to advance prices in order to realize a margin of pro- fit. We understand that some at- tempts have been made to break the market, but until there is a change in conditions this will not be easily accomplished. Consider- ing the excellent quality of B.C.

Heaps Timber Com- pany, the Paterson Timber Com- pany and the British Columbia Flume Company are all actively at work in getting out logs, and will in the near future have a moderate supply on hand. These and more will be required if the present de- mand for shingles should continue, which now seems very probable. Ontario is likely to consume more than an average quantity of red cedar shingles this year, as very extensive building operations are under way and the production of white pine shingles is annually decreasing. Buyers are looking to British Columbia for red cedars and part of Quebec for white cedars. Competition between these two sections of the Dominion promises to be more keen in the future, although at the present time but a very small quantity of New Bruns- wick shingles is coming into On- tario. Red cedar shingles are higher in price in Washington than in British Columbia. Conditions at Seattle, Wash., are described as follows by the Mississippi Valley Lumberman : As predicted last week, shingle prices have advanced on an average of nearly five cents on all grades. The rising market is attributed to the car shortage, which continues western portion of the state, and the effect of the strikes and lock- outs. At Ballard the mills are still closed and, while the manufacturers have announced a determination to begin next week with green crews, it is problematical with what degree of success. The shingle mill trouble alone has removed at least 30 per cent. of the daily supply of Stars from the market. One of the most conservative men in the business here, in speaking of the market, said: ‘‘Stars are strong at the advance and the mar- ket all round is stiff. The car shortage continues to strengthen prices and while there is an oppor- Ky te ee in A De hate pe SAA re Mae Sa EI 8, to New Brunswick and the eastern to be felt, particularly in the south- tunity for even better prices, I do i ry - , April 25, 1906 not think a prediction to that effect would be justified.” Bs Planing, Matching, Resawing, | 5 In Car Lots.

Klock Bros., who own a large and valuable area of pine and spruce timber limits at the head waters of the Rouge River and N. E. Branch of the Lievre, have put in supplies this winter for next seasons’ operations. It is their in- tention to take out a raft of waney and square pine and float same to L’Annonciation,. where it will be loaded on the C.P.R. cars and con- veyed to Montreal or Quebec for export. We understand that over- tures have been made by timber merchants for the purchase of the cut, but so far we have not learned of any contract being closed. This will be the first raft for many years on the Upper Rouge. The Rouge is an excellent river for driving and no difficulty is anticipated in the “tice of the timber. Messrs. Klocks have cut.a fine road of about 23 miles from the Eddy camps near the Butte River, and it is now considered that this is the best route to travel to reach the Manouan and the surrounding country, which will shortly be traversed by the Transcontinental Railway.

This week finds the condition of the lumbermarket but little changed, the remarkable strength which it has exhibited for many weeks past being still in evidence. The stock lists sent out by the different manufac- turers show, better than anything else, the extent to which the old cut of lumber has passed out of first hands. This, combined with active building operations, is largely re- sponsible for the present high prices. The demand has been running to the lower grades of pine to such an ex- tent that mill culls are entirely out of the market and in the Oftawa Valley they. have advanced toa new high point. While confidence’ is shown in most directions, there also seems to be some uncertainty as to the future course of prices. The argument is advanced that there is no. probability of a ‘higher range being reached and that it is danger- ous to stock up heavily at prevailing prices. There is no doubt, how- ever, that most of the manufacturers who make a practice of selling their cut in advance have already done so, and others have pledged their stock to their regular customers. It would seem to be a question, there- fore, as to the extent to which the lumber has passed into the hands of parties who are able to keep the market up. There has of late been some very good buying of hard- woods but prices continue about stationary. Lath has been largely contracted for in advance. A deal- er who visited a number of mills in Western Ontario states that he fouud but one manufacturer who had not placed his cut under con- tract. EASTERN CANADA, The retail lumber dealers at Mon- treal are exceptionally busy on account of the activity in building, the present outlook being that the expenditure in that direction will show a substantial increase over last year. ' Dry lumber- is scarce and prices very firm. Conditions throughout the whole of Eastern Canada are very favorable. While log driving on the head waters of the St. John River has only com- menced, recent rains have caused the water to rise considerably and the drives ‘are starting, off with good prospects of reaching the mills. All the lumber manufactured seems If. likely to find a market. New Brunswick cedar shingles ar2 selling quite freely around $3.70 for extras, Boston delivery. The Longshoremen’s Association at St: John has demanded 40 cents an hour for loading deals during the summer, while the shippers have refused to pay more than 35 cents. A deadlock exists, -although the shippers say they can get all the men they want. WESTERN. CANADA, Extensive building operations throughout Western Canada — is creating a large demand for lumber and the mills are now operating to their full capacity to meet the re- guirements. It is improbable, how- ever, that any decided shortage will develop, as the mills now in opera- tion and under. construction repre- sent a very large output. The im- proved conditions in.both local and export trade may bring about a further advance in prices unless the log market should. become easier. Genelle Bros., of the Yale- Columbia Lumber Company, have just let the contract toranchers for cutting 10,000,000 feet of logs on a branch of the Kettle river. This company have also two camps at Westbridge, which will cut about 8,000,000 feet. Other concerns in the Mountain district of British Columbia are conducting. equally active operations, ‘ UNITED STATES. The shipping of lumber by, vessel is now quite active, and Buffalo, Tonawanda, Cleveland, Bay City and Saginaw are receiving consider- able quantities from Ontario. The abnormal demand during the winter and early spring left the. stocks in wholesale yards somewhat broken. There is a very liberal demand. for white pine, but for the first time this year the report is heard that KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. Manufacturers of Rough and Dressed Cedar Lumber and Lath We Manufacture Cedar only and have the largest stock in the Province, P. 0. BOX 45, VANCOUVER, B. 6. Keenan Bros., Owen Sound, CANADA LUMBERMAN the market is a little easier. Whether this is an actual condition, or whether it has been inspired by cer- tain dealers who are short of stock and anxious to bring prices down for the purpose of buying, cannot be definitely determined at the moment. There is rio doubt that prices are high, but until there is falling off in the demand and a greater accumulation of lumber than at present exists, it will be difficult to induce holders to part with their stock at prices. under those now existing. An indication of strength is shown by the prices fixed for stray logs by the Lumber- men’s Board of Trade of Stillwater, Minn., which are as follows: Logs under 50 feet, $12.00; over 50 feet and not exceeding 100, $15.00; over 100 feet and under 150 feet, $18.00; larger logs, $20.00 a thousand feet. Pine piece stuff is exceptionally firm. Hardwoods are improving. In the Saginaw Valley elm, basswood and birch are active. Thick ash is scarce. GREAT BRITAIN. Although the demand for lumber in Great Britain’is still somewhat restricted, inquiries are becoming more numerous and gradually con- sumers are being educated up to the changed basis of values. Consider- ably more business would. no doubt result were it not for the difference in the prices now asked as compar- ed with those ruling one year ago. The trade generally seems to be expecting a light import of Canadian pine this year. Representatives of spruce shippers are asking £8 10s to £8 15s for first-class specifica- tions, and from £8 5s to £8 7s 6d for lower qualities. Waney pine is very firm and it is said that several importers who are in the market for a. considerable. quantity have not’ been able to obtain their require- ments. KILN-DRIED BIRGH FLOORING Fairview Cedar Lumber Co. — WEEKLY EDITION THE OTTAWA VALLEY. (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) OrtTawa, May 4, 1906.—There is a very active demand in the Ottawa Valley for pine. Pine mill culls are sought for in such large quantities by local buyers that the prices have jumped two or three dollars a thous- and in the last fortnight. Scarcely any of this class of lumber is now selling less than ten dollars per M. Hemlock is almost impossible to get and is being purchased only in odd car lots and it looks as if there would be a small output this sea- son. Owing to the small quantity of ash cut last. year the manufac- turers are becoming alarmed lest their stock: will run short befure the season is over. The sales; are chiefly to the Canadian trade and much of the wood. is used in. car- riage manufacture. All the avail- -.able elm is picked up quickly. Spruce is reported plentiful and the demand for it is: quieter than for any of the other lines of lumber sold in the Ottawa Valley.

Shanty supplies, cluding food, are more costly and on the whole very much larger sums are expended by the lumbermen during the winters than a decade go. At the present time there is search for river drivers in Ottawa and wages range from $2.50 to _ $4.00 per day, the latter figure be- _ ing paic for men to go to British ~ Columbia. Mr. David MeNicoll, general anager of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, who was in Ot- tawa the other day, said his com- pany found it very difficult to get rge timber. The C.P.R. requires this steck for car building, and ow- ing to the difficulty of procuring the proper kind of lumber the Montreal __ shops have recently been closed for _ brief periods. The company just _ now are procuring their lumber in “British Columbia, and Mr. Mc- Nicoll reports that the demand in that province is so keen that it is not easy to get supplies for the east. There is such activity in car build- ing in the United States, says the general manager, that it is no long- er possible to get lumber in the south. The lumber from British olumbia is being rushed across he continent with the greatest _ speed, for the C.P.R. shops are turning out an average of $100,000 worth of cars per week. The and Trunk Pacific and other ijlways have similar experience in tting timber for car building and the demand is likely to last owing to the great scarcity of cars in the ; _ country. fect the drives in the Oitawa river. he nature of the March and April veather permitted the usual spring thaw to pass off without creating e freshets that help lumbermen to -MoLennan Timber Land Gnd Lumber GO., simitea TIMBER LANDS Ottawa, room 9 Central Chambers OrFices Quebec, 131 St. Peter St. J.B.

The logs are still nearly all in the creeks and the ice is rapidly going from the swamps. Lumbermen estimate that the water is very much lower in the chief streams than it was a year ago. At all points the drives are started but are not making much progress, for the ice is still an obstruction at some places. Mr. J. R. Booth has logs coming in from the Black river on the Quebec side and on his farthest limit at Stur- » geon Falls the log ee are very active. Though there is an exceedingly strong demand for lath, it is not probable the Ottawa mills will pro- duce any more than last year. No new lath machines are being in- stalled. The equipment in the mills is just about equal to hand- ling the refuse from the saws which is set apart for that purpose. The highest manufacturer’s price at the present time for lath is $4.50 a rhousand. and this is paid only in rare cases. The price for railway ties shows an upward tendency. mill will make the usual quantity this season from cedar and tamarac brought to the mill by rail. The output is eagerly sought for new railway lines and repairs. Before the sale of the Canada Atlantic Railway to the Grand Trunk, the Booth firm disposed of its ties to the Canada Atlantic, but now the output goes into the general mar- ket,- The prospective large pur- chase$ of ties for the Grand Trunk Pacific has not yet affected the trade.

Fil- SUSPENSION OF LUMBER DUTY. The United States Congress have suspended the duty on lumber in- tended for use in the rebuilding of San Francisco. The resolution bringing this about reads as follows: ‘¢ Whereas, in view of the fact that there is a shortage in structural steel and other building material in this country to meet the needs of the people of San Francisco and other California cities destroyed or damaged by earthquake shocks on April roth and in the conflagration that followed, and that everything should be done to facilitate the re- construction of the stricken cities; therefore, be it resolved that the duty on structural steel and other necessary material intended for use in buildings to be constructed in said cities be and it is hereby de- clared to be suspended tor the period of one year.” The above resolution will mean something to the lumber- men of British Columbia. Many ot the mills, however, have already placed under contract their output for months to come and will conse- quently not be in a position to take full advantage of the situation. Present indications are that . the large domestic and foreign demand will cause a further advance in the price of British Solpais lumber. CANADIAN MANUFACTURERS and WHOLESALERS.

ONTARIO. ts: The supply of dry lumber is rapidly diminishing and will soon have disappeared from the market entirely. .It is now largely -in the hands of dealers, who are endeavor- ing to so manipulate it as to supply the requirements of their customers until the new cut is ready. In a few instances, where the specifica- tions have been difficult to meet, still higher prices have been ob- tained, but the market as a whole is no stronger than last month, Speculation pertains entirely to the new cut, and opinions are divided as to the effect of the general re- sumption. of sawing operations which will occur very shortly. It is true that the demand is excellent and that a large percentage of the season’s production has already passed out of first hands, but it usually happens that during the summer period the buyer is able to find plenty of stock to purchase. This will probably be the case this year if most of the logs reach the mills.- Hardwoods are firm at the advance, with no further rise anti- cipated for the present. The sup- ply is plentiful, but as the input of logs was light, the conditions are likely to be more favorable for the hardwood manufacturer later in the year. EASTERN CANADA. The outlook for the lumber trade for Eastern Canada has been im- proved’by recent heavy rains, which If, are likely to give quite an impetus to stream driving operations. The bulk of the 15,000,000 feet of logs hung up in the St. John river above Graad Falls have now reached the booms and will be available for sawing. Bank logs are selling at $12 per thousand for merchantable spruce, $9 for battens, and $6 for hemlock. There is very little dry spruce lumber for sale and the mills are refusing orders daily, so that the prospects for the coming season are exceptionally bright. New Brunswick cedar sningles are sell- ing around $3.70 for Boston deliv- ery. A few sales have been made at $3.75, but so far as can be learned there has been no advance on this quotation. WESTERN CANADA. The lumber trade of Western Canada continues quite active, with an increased retail demand. The mills have more business than they can handle, as is evidenced by an- other advance last week in the price of rough lumber at Vancouver, bringing it up to $15. Owing to the high cost of logs, there must be a very small margin of profit even at this figure, and a further advance is not improbable. The shingle market is steady. An event of con- siderable market interest was the conference of shingle manufacturers held at Seattle, Wash., last week, at which seven representatives of British Columbia mills were present. At this conference it was agreed, in order to prevent the periodical de- moralization of the shingle market, to close down the shingle mill for ninety days during the coming winter. UNITED STATES. The settlement of the labor diffi- culties in the coal mining districts and on the Great Lakes has remov- ed the fear of any serious labor troubles in the United States this KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. CANADA LUMBERMAN spring and has consequently im- proved the lumber outlook to some extent. The market has maintained its firm tone remarkably well con- sidering that new stock is rapidly getting into shipping condition and that this is the season of the year when price recessions may be expect- ed. In the Duluth district offerings of No. 4. and 5 pine boards are said to have been made at a slight de- cline from the high point, but this is no indication of general weakness. The cargo shipments from Duluth between April 20th and May 7th were 30,000,000 feet, which is the heaviest movement ever witnessed from that point in the same period. All grades of pine used in building are in active demand in the Eastern States. The Pennsylvania prod- ucers of hemlock have made another advance of 50 cents on all lengths - but the 14 foot. Hardwoods are moving satistactorily, although cer- tain intereats are said to be holding orders back in the hope that when the larger quantities of stock come on the market they will be able to purchase to better advantage. Sales of basswood are being made at $28 for firsts and seconds, $18 for com- mon, and $21 to $23 for log run, at mill points. Log run soft elm is being sold at $20 at the mill. There is a good demand for birch and maple. GREAT BRITAIN. Several representatives of Quebec shippers haverecently returned from Great Britain and give a very favor- able report of the lumber market. While there is a disposition in some quarters to doubt the maintenance of present prices, this is having no effect on shippers and buyers in- variably are meeting the market in the case of pine and spruce deals and waney timber. For ordinary Spruce, with 50 per cent. 7 and 8 inch, the price is about £8 5s per standard of 1,980 feet. Consider- KILN-DRIED_BIRGH Fairview Cedar Lumber Co. FLOORIN WEEKLY EDITION able limes have been placed during the past tnonth, but several mer- chants have not yet covered their requirements. Whether they will be able to buy to better advantage is a question, but present indica- tions are not in their favor. Birch logs and planks have arrived quite freely of late and prices are a little easier. Importers are discouraging consignment stock, as the demand for birch is not sufficiently strong to keep prices even where they are un- der such acondition. The stock of birch logs at Liverpool is 81,000 cubic feet, as compared with 47,000 feet at same time in 1905 and 64,000 feet in 1904. STOCKS AND PRICES.

'" Vancouver, B.C., May 7th, 3 1906, —An important conference of _ shingle manufacturers was held in Seattle on Friday and Saturday, 4th “and 5th instant, which was attended _ iby representative men from this city. These were Messrs. E.H. Heaps, _J.G. Woods, James McNair, Robert are eter, Thomas Kirkpatrick, H. Z . Spicer and R. H. H. Alexander, ‘secretary of the B.C. Lumber and "Shingle Manufacturers’ Association. Matters of trade interest were dis- cussed, the most important action decided upon being a go-day shut _ down next winter, beginning with December 1st. This was practical- iy agreed to by the manufacturers _ from Vancouver. _ The meeting was a very suc- cessful one,” said Mr. James Mc- _ Nair, ‘and the combination mills = owed more of an inclination to - co-operate with us in curtailing the _ output.

An instance of what busi- ness is offering is in the withdrawal from the Northwest of the travellers of the Bowman Lumber Company. That concern has all it can attend to this summer, and has called off its trade solicitors. The Yale-Co- lumbia Lumber Company, of Cas- cade, B.C., is to operate four mills this summer, and has _ already enough orders for nearly its entire output. J. Williams, of Seattle, offered an order for a million feet of lumber, to be shipped to Nome, to the Nanaimo Lumber Company, but it could not be taken. Prices were advanced another dollar on Thursday last. Rough lumber is now quoted at $15. ‘‘It will probably go even higher,” said a millman this morning. ‘‘With logs quoted at $8, $10 and $13, with no prospect of a reduction in price, I cannot see how rough lumber can be sold profitably at less than $17.” The Nanaimo Lumber Company is filling an order for the C.P.R. for lumber for passenger coaches. It is being shipped to Montreal and is all 60 feet in length, of various sizes. The material is intended for some of the new cars, which are to be the most handsome yet turned out by that railway company. THE GLASGOW MARKET.

No doubt the bulk of these are not of specially good quality, but until they are got quit of they will have a depressing effect on the market. The position of spruce, which a month ago showed evidence of weakening under the pressure of ex quay selling, has firmed up again, with every pros- pect of prices being maintained, as both the stock on hand and the im- port are alike meagre. Birch logs have been arriving too freely both from Quebec and the lower ports, and as a consequence a number of the recently arrived shipments have gone into store. The import of birch logs into Glas- gow for the years 1904 and 1905 amounted to 4500 loads altogether, whereas the import for the first four months of this year is nearly 4000 loads already. It shipments con- tinue on the same scale any longer, birch will reach the unsaleable stage shortly. As to the future of the market . generally, the determining factor as regards prices will be the extent of the import during the summer, and granted that it is moderate, as is generally anticipated will be the case, values are pretty certain to be well maintained. Scottish shipbuilders launched during April 32 vessels of 39,627 tons, of which 18 of 31,657 tons were built in Clyde yards. The Clyde total for the first four months of this year is about 20,000 tons more than for the same period in 1905, but while this is so far satis- factory, there is a regrettable ab- sence of fresh orders being placed. The amount of new work placed since the year began is unfortunate- ly far below the tonnage launched. White Pine.—There has been no import during the month, and the movement from stock has been on a small scale. Prices keep firm and stocks are moderate. Oak.—There are some good en- quiries in the market, and deliveries from stock have been fairly good. Stock of first class is small, but of second class timber ample. Prices are firmer. Eitm.—The demand has been quiet during the month, but a few transactions are reported in second quality timber. First class rock is scarce, and early imports should meet a ready market at good prices. QueEBec BircH.—The import for A. Holden, Pres. F. H. Goff, Vice-Pres. J. M. Diver, Gen’l.-Mg E. C.

April amounted to about 1350 logs, some of which formed deliveries against contracts, but the bulk of it was consigned. The position of the market is not at all satisfactory, as all the principal birch buyers are well supplied for months ahead, and any pressure to make sales will cause a sharp drop in values. Re- cent shipments are finding their way into store, which is by no means a favorable symptom so early in the season. Lower Port Birch.—The import for April is about 1500 logs, mostly 14 to 15 inch average, about two- thirds of which were disposed of from the ship’s side and the balance stored. Prices are decidedly CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION easier than they were, the supplies having, so far as the year has gone, considerably exceeded the demand. Birch Plank.—The April import amounted to about 400 standards, and was mostly disposed of ex quay. Prices have ranged from 47 158. to £8 5s. ex quay. Asu.—A few very small ship- ments have come to hand during the month, and were sold at fair prices considering the quality which in most cases was’ very middling. Prime logs, 15 to 16 inch average, are asked for, and a few consign- ments of such would meet with prompt sale. Dears, &c.—The import during the month has been a small one, CANADIAN MANUFACTURERS and WHOLESALERS consisting chiefly of spruce deals and pine sidings.

The only complaint that is heard about the lumber market is the . difficulty of finding dry stock. The stringency will soon be relieved, however, but it will be some time be- fore the mills will be able to dispose of the numerous .orders on _ their books and which have been accumu- lating for many weeks. United States buyers have this spring been more numerous than ever, and this competition is helping to keep prices firm. There is no doubt that the pine and hemlock situation is. very strong and that there is an urgent and wide-spread demand which is by no means confined to Canada. ". There may be a lull in the retail trade during the summer months, but this will not affect the manu- facturers,° who “have” already “sold much of their output.’ Our Ottawa prices this week show advances in ‘good pine strips and: several of the lower grades; ‘a’ most unusual occurrence at this time of the -year. The strength of the market is clear- ly shown by a ‘recent ‘quotation given by an Ottawa valley manu- facturer,of $19 for No.1 mill culls ten inches wide. Conditions in hard- woods are seasonable, with a more general movement of basswood than has been witnessed for some time. ‘ J EASTERN CANADA. - The progress made by the log drives is being watched by lumber- men with keen interest, as the course of lumber prices will depend very largely upon this question. The outlook at present is very favorable, and it appears that not only the logs cut last winter, but in addition those which were hung up the previous season, are likely to reach the mills and be available for sawing. Prospective buyers argue that the larger production of lum- ber will have a tendency to weaken prices, but manufacturers contend ‘that values are already low and that all the lumber manufactured will easily find’ a market.’ With the heavy demand from the United States and the improved conditions in Great Britain, there-is not likely to be an accumulation of stock at the mills this year.. The deal mar- ket is firmer, average specifications bringing $14 f.0.b. St. John, N. B. There is no change in cedar shingles, ee although the offerings appear to be more liberal. UNITED STATES. The demand for white pine lum- ber is not quite so pronounced as it was one month ago, which may be due to the fact that farmers have been engaged in spring seeding. The situation as a whole, however, is very encouraging to holders of stock. The iron and steel industry is prosperous, building is active, and the winter wheat prospects have seldom been better. There is little disposition to advance prices of lumber, as such action might re- strict. the consumption and bring about a reaction in values later in the season, when the supply be- comes more plentiful. Present prices yive the manutacturers of white pine, hemlock and spruce .a fair profit. Hardwoods could advance somewhat without being considered too high, and it is probable that during this year some appreciation will take place. Wisconsin manu- facturers report a steady improve- ment in the demand. No. 1 and 2 common basswood are probably the best sellers, but birch, soft elm and maple are moving. The new supply of pine lath is being absorbed without causing a decline in prices as was predicted. No. 1 pine lathis selling in Sag- inaw, Mich., at $5.50 and hem- lock at $4.75. Spruce lath in the Eastern States is a little weaker, Boston quotations being $4.25 for 154 inch and $4 for 1% inch. “* GREAT BRITAIN. The British lumber market still lacks buoyancy and the demand does not show as much activity as many would like to see. It is stead- ily improving, however, as is shown by the following remarks by Messrs. Churchill & Sim, who have had a wide experience in the London trade. ‘After making an exception KNIGHT BROTHERS Co. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION of deals in the lower qualities, both redwood and whitewood, the firm add :—‘‘It is becoming daily more evident that practically all other sizes and classes of wood must grad- ually appreciate in price as the year draws on, and that the supplies will be barely sufficient to meet the most moderate estimates of what will be required.” The duration of supply at London at the present rate of consumption is shorter than it has been since 1900. For deals and battens in the aggregate, the duration is only 1.97 months, as against 2.54 last year ; for boards 3.47, against 3.68 in 1905; and for floorings 2.94, against 3-35: last year. . Stocks of 7.x inch and 7 x 2% inch spruce at Manchester are extremely low and prices firmer than ever and the same may be said-of nearly all other lumber. is a fair specification of 3 x 9.and I1in. spruce in stock at any of the larger ports on the West Coast. There is, generally speaking, a good stock of 3x8. This latter size is not being so freely used as it was formerly. Birch is in a weaker position than any other Canadian wood on account of the closing down of the tin plate mills in South Wales, where it is used extensively for box-making. STOCKS AND PRICES.

So tar, the season in this regard has been all that could be desired and excellent work has been done and is being done at the head of the St. John. Day by day reports are coming in of large and important drives having reached safe water and it is expected ‘and hoped that a clean drive will be -made. The freshet on the St. John has ‘been somewhat higher than usual, is still gaining a little and the indications are that a sufficient volume of water for driving pur- poses will be available for a considerable _ period. On the Restigouche and Miramichi equally and a quick and thorough driving. _ Sincelast mentioned the ‘‘English” spruce deal trade has shown no marked change, although local prices seem to have a tendency toward firmness and the ideas of local interested parties in this _ regard are slightly higher than was _ the case a month ago. This circumstance is probably chiefly due _ to the optimistic opinions expressed on all sides, opinions which indica- tions seem to fully justify, and which, so far during the season, events have shown to ‘be correct. It is doubtful if the local output of i, 7 r 4 aq “English” will be, all things considered, so much greater this ee Year than was the case last year. With the mills just fairly started, ‘the season of manufacturing bas _ already been curtailed by six weeks.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION several millions of logs hung in the St. John River many miles below the point which is usually consider- ed the beginning of safe water. Another circumstance which has a direct influence upon the output of ‘‘English” deals is the strong values prevalent in the American market, in view of which it is safe to say that local American manufacturers will have their mills saw for the English market only when scarcity of American logs renders it un- avoidable. Local stocks of ‘‘English” are augmenting very slowly and it will be, at the earliest, July 1st before any important quantity will be ready for shipment from this port. At this date an inquirer , for “English” spruce deals would be quoted $13.75 to $14 per thousand superficial feet, f. 0. b.

Word comes from the Lepreaux to the effect that Cornelius Hager- man is having a serious time with Gregory & Dunn’s drive of about three million feet on the Lepreaux river. He started operations abcut April: 20th, but had to drive two lakes which handicapped him great- ly. In one of these lakes he was compelled to abandon four thousand pieces. He is now working on the main river but the water is falling fast and he will have trouble getting the drive out. A gentleman who came down from up. river yesterday reports that the St. John Lumber Company are holding about twenty-five million feet of logs in their booms at Van- Buren and Grand Isle. The bulk of them belong to down river operat- ors and+will be held until the com- pany gets through sorting. A telegram from Boiestown states that the’ drives on Rocky Brook, the Sisters and Cain’s river are all in. The driving conditions in that ‘séction were never more favorable. It is reported that from 1,500 to 2s 000 joints of bank logs and “pick ups” arrived at Springhill last week and that operations are being carried on there on a larger scale In this season than for some time past. About 40 men are employed and rafts are being made up as fast as possible for shipment. Several rafts have already gone forward to St. John, while a great many have Leen used by the local mills. Logs are said to have dropped in price at St. John during the past few days and are now said to be worth about $12 per thousand, whereas they were $13. SPRUCE LUMBER CONDITIONS.

ONTARIO. There exists among the manu- facturers a strong feeling of con- fidence in the stability of the lumber market, this being based on the continued. good demand. Buyers are still plentiful and even at this season of the year are displaying some eagerness to cover their requirements. The knowledge that much of the white pine and hemlock production has already been con- tracted for, thus reducing the quantity - available for. purchase, has made buyers more anxious than usual and has greatly strengthened the situation from a manufacturer’s standpoint. Toronto dealers are enjoying a large trade in building lumber, but there does not seem to be much disposition to advance prices. ‘‘We are making a profit,” said a prominent dealer, ‘‘and will not increase présent prices unless compelled to do so by the mill men, and we are hoping that the manu- facturers will see the: wisdom of encouraging consumption by keep- ing prices within reason.” Hard- woods are featureless and less active than pine, but the higher prices ruling for the past two months have in most instances been maintained. Some offerings of birch are being » made at a slight concession. If. CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION EASTERN CANADA. The movement of lumber in Montreal is very active owing to extensive building operations, which promise to continue throughout the season. The new lumber coming on the market is being readily absorbed and prices generally are firm. There is some weakness in birch timber for export, the demand this spring having been disappoint- ing. The spruce trade of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia is good. A manufacturer writes us as follows: ‘‘We are finding an unexampled and energetic demand for all lumber products this spring. We cannot see how prices can go any lower, as both United States and English buyers are willing to buy on contract for this season’s delivery at high prices. We have closed a number of contracts our- selves with deliveries ending only with the year’s end, and these at higher prices than we ever sold at before.” The situation in respect to spruce is very strong and points towards higher prices. The log drives are making satisfactory progress, rafting operations having commenced at the Douglas boom at Fredericton, N.B. The cut of logs in the province of Quebec last winter was large. UNITED STATES. The lumber trade is somewhat irregular but with a firm undertone. Changes are this week made in our ‘Buffalo price list, all in the nature of an advance. The demand for the lower grades of pine is still urgent, and where the supply is short substitutes are being pur- chased. Many of the large white pine mills have placed under con- ‘tract their entire season’s produc- tion of box boards, this being the result of the exceptional activity existing in the box industry. The East is buying hardwoods quite KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. KILN-DRIED BIRGH Fairview Cedar Lumber Co. freely, as in comparison with the soft woods, they are cheap. Birch and basswood are leading in point of demand, and elm is doing better than earlier in the year. Maple flooring sells readily and is steadily gaining in price. GREAT BRITAIN. The timber trade ot Great Britain has as yet been little influenced by the general expansion shown in other branches of industry and some doubt is now expressed as to the maintenance of the present level of prices for the rest of the year. The weakness of birch timber is a disturbing factor. It seems that a considerable quantity of birch has been received on consignment, much of it arriving at atime when the market was not in a position to take it, and the result being a drop in prices. The weakness of birch timber has affected boards of that variety, but there are many dealers who believe that the present is a very favorable time to accumulate a stock of birch. The position in respect to pine and spruce is doubt- less strong; 3x9 to 3x11 inch spruce deals are very scarce, and Manchester and Bristol Channel ports are short of 3x7 inch. A cargo of spruce from Halifax, N. S., recently brought £8 5s to £8 78 6d per standard c. i. f. Liverpool, which shows that prices are not weakening. STOCKS AND PRICES. H.C. Mackey is loading three scows with deals at Fredericton, N. B., for Gilman Bros. & Burden, of Pokiok. He has engaged to load 40 scows for them during the next few weeks. The lumber will be sent to St. John and shipped to Old Country by W. Malcolm Mac- kay. A western lumber firm write the CANADA LUMBERMAN as _ follows: May 30, 1906 “Up to the present time this year we have experienced a very good demand for lumber. There was practically no let-up in the trade during seeding time, and we look for a continuance of good trade to follow. As it will be some time before any opinion can be passed on the coming crop, we do not think this questisn has any bearing on the condition of trade at this particular time.” J. L. Black & Sons, of Sackville, .. N.B., are loading the schooner Alma with a cargo of scantling -for New York. The barque Gler is due at Cape Tormentine to load for them a cargo of deals for Liverpool and they will load another barque at the Cape later in the season. They expect to load four or five vessels at Point du Chene this summer, two of which are now on the way from Great Britain. Messrs. Black & Sons will saw at their Aboushagan mills and this with what they cut last winter will make between four and five million feet for shipment this season. THE OTTAWA VALLEY. (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN. Orrawa, May 25, 1906.—English ~ buyers are in the Ottawa Valley picking up small lots of lumber for export. They are paying consider ably more than they paid for similar — purchases a year ago. The keen demand for white pine aad spruce which became noticeable about month ago is keeping up. The out put is going largely to the American n market. A large quantity is going into local quarters too, and this trade will become more active when : people begin to go after the ne cut. There seems to be an in- creased demand for common stock. Manufacturers attribute this situa-_ tion partially to conditions in the United States but more particularly — to the state of the Canadian market. © The local consumption of this class of lumber is increasing at a rapid — rate and promises to remain a strong » factor in holding common etaars at steady high prices.

' ‘May 30 1906 CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION itt demand for railway ties. A few years ago the timber which would make ties was not much appreciat- ed, as it was scarcely considered profitable to go into that kind of lumbering. At present large railway companies are searching in the Ottawa Valley for all the ties they can procure, and there is a noticeable dearth of them. Limit holders now place a considerable value on the class of timber that will make ties. Spruce prices have reached so high a notch for local consumption that English exporters who usually bought at this time of the year are handling very little of the Ottawa Valley spruce output. Manufacturers report that hem- lock is nearly all bought up at good prices, but basswood is not quite so active as last month, ‘The price of lath is exceedingly high and buyers are complaining that there is no justification for the state of the market. They have to pay twice as much as a year ago. The manufacturers say the demand In ad- dition to this they add that wages is soaring up continually and that they ‘are making no more profit than under old conditions. A. mild strike occurred in one of the'big mills last week and higher wages was paid without any inter- ruption-in the work.

Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) St. Joun, N. B., May 25th, 1906. —At this date the outlook for the log drives on the St. John River is not so encouraging as was the case a fortnight ago. The freshet has fallen off with unlooked for rapidity and reports from up-river districts tell of difficult driving and _ the probability of hang-ups of consider- able dimensions, the exact figures in regard to which it is impossible to obtain at this early date. Logs are arriving at St. John in quantities barely sufficient to keep the mills in cut. Cedar is particularly scarce and some of the mills are running at only half their capacity. The cedar shingle market pre- sents a very encouraging prospect to the manufacturer. The demand in the U.S. market continues streng and such lots of N.B shingles as have been offered have been readily disposed of at the reigning values. At St. John and in the vicinity, stocks of high grades are very light—one and one quarter millions would cover and ‘‘Clears”. The province trade is very brisk and promises to easily take care of all the lower grades that will be offered. The prospects for the manufacture of shingles during the balance of the season point to the conclusion that the output will be somewhat smaller than usual. With the wharves cleared of all high grades early in the year, and the late date of the commencement of sawing, the volume of cedar shingles for shipment has already been decreased sufficiently to place the quantity below the average. Also, it is doubtful if the logs will come along rapid!y enough to keep the mills in THE GANADA WOOD SPEGIALTY Go., Limited, Orillia, Ont.

Local values in cedar shingles are strong and show every indication ot continuing so.

The spruce lath trade is marked by considerable uncertainty and much diversity of opinion exists in regard to actual value. There is no doubt that values in this line have been steadily losing ground during the past two months, but the general impression seems to be that when conditions have become more settled, it will be found that the goods in question will be worth at least‘as much as shown in recent quotations. Local values range from $2.55 to $2.65 per M for non- dutiable slab lath and $2.30 to $2.40 per M for dutiable, f. o. b. St. John.

Failing to receive a favorable answer to their d2mands, it is said that the men will go out. A local paper is responsible for this statement. The employers claim that they know nothing of the matter but there is little doubt that such a contingency may arise at any moment.

Building permits issued in the City of Toronto up to the end of May this year exceeded in value $5,000,000, and during last month alone their value was $1,500,000. Phenomenal activity is now existent in the building trade and this has naturally created a heavy demand for lumber. Manufacturers are showing the utmost confidence in the situation andit is not unusual to hear the prediction that prices will go still higher. This prediction, at practically the beginning of the sawing season, is based on the ex- tent to which the old stock of pine and hemlock has been consumed. The mills have. more orders than they can fill and are hoping that the usual midsummer dullness will give them an opportunity to reduce the number of unfilled orders on their books. A further advance in prices could no doubt be brought about, but this is being discouraged in conservative quarters. It is report- ed that birch lumber has been offer- ed too freely and that prices are a little easier, but about all that can be said of the hardwood trade gen- erally is that the demand seems to be. improving. If, CANADA LUMBERMAN EASTERN CANADA. The outlook for the log drives in Eastern Canada is not as encourag- ing as one week ago. The St. John river has fallen and rains are badly needed. It is estimated, however, that more than one-half. of this season’s output of logs on: that river are now in safe water. Lumber is moving in satisfactory volume. At a meeting of the Lumbermen’s Association of -West- ern Nova Scotia held last week, it was stated that a large proportion of this season’s production of lum- ber had been sold at good prices. New Brunswick cedar shingles, while fairly active, are not as strong as a fortnight ago and Extras are said to be offering at $3.65, where- as the average quotation then ruling was $3.70. In view of the natural increase in production at this season ot the year, it is probable that white cedar shingles may work a little lower. UNITED STATES. The lumber business continues to be exceedingly brisk. It is no trouble to sell stock and until con- ‘ditions change materially, lower prices are not likely to be witnessed. A great deal depends, however, on the crops, and at this time it, may be said that the outlook is encourag- ing. Our Boston quotations are now at the highest point which has ever been reached and show an ap- preciatiation during the spring months of several dollars. per thousand feet in the better grades of white pine. Spruce has gained about $1. Hemlock sells very readily, ‘with an exceptionally Lrisk demand for 12 and 14 foot stuff. The hardwood market is steady. In the Saginaw valley ash is selling at $27; elm, $22 to $26; basswood, $23 for No. 2 common and better and $15 for culls; birch $20 to $22.50, and maple $16 to $18. Spruce lath is weaker, the best KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. price that can be obtained at Boston for 154 inch being $4.25, and for 1¥% inch $4. GREAT BRITAIN. While the British lumber market continues firm, considerable dissatis- faction is expressed that more activity does not develop. Con- sumption is still at a low point and buyers are indifferent about closing contracts. The Timber Trades Journal, reterring to spruce, says: ‘Neither importers nor dealers are inclined to contract at present, buoyed up by the hope that prices will break later on. The tone, however, is quite firm at £8 5sc.i.f. for ordinary specifications, that is, containing about 60 to 7O per cent. of narrows, 3x 7 and 3 x 8, and balance wider. Laments are made by many of the wholesale spruce deal merchants that they have great difficulty in selling up the. country at any profit upon the cost of importation.” Birch logs are sell- ing at the low prices recently quoted, but there has been considerable buying and it is believed that the present is a good time to acquire birch, which is almost certain to advance i in price later in the year. Hemlock is meeting with some favor on account of its lower cost and all shipments have been readily disposed of. BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER. (Correspondence of the Canapa LUMBERMAN. ) Vancouver, B.C. » May 26th, 1906. —‘‘Orders, but we can’t fill et ig was the remark to-day of a millman who deals in the manufacture of both lumber and shingles.” ‘‘The shingle business is pretty good just now, but conditions are against us. It bolts were plentiful and the labor market easy things would be beyond complaint, but as it is the raw material is high in price and scarce in quantity, and there is difficulty in getting eee men for KILN-DRIED BIRGH FLOORING Fairview Cedar Lumber Co. WEEKLY EDITION the camps and mills. There is little change in prices, and general con- ditions remain about the same. The market for shingles just now is mostly in Canadian _ territory, though some are shipped across the line. As far as orders are concerned the business is good.” There is a steady prosperity in the lumber branch of the business. The prices of logs are very stiff, with a tendency to increase from the $6, $8, and $10 now quoted. As an indication of the demand for logs, an instance might be quoted. The other day a big boom came to the city, and loggers who had not been paid filed liens on it tor wages. Generally in cases of this kind the mills decline to pay the cash, but notwithstanding the liens there was ’ a number of applicants for the logs. The men got their money the same day as the documents were taken out, the cash being forthcoming immediately.

W.B. BARTRAM &Co., Ottawa, Ont. NEW TERMS OF SALE. At a meeting of the Board of Management of the Ontario Lum- bermen’s Association held in Toronto on Tuesday, June 12th, new terms for the sale of lumber were agreed upon. It was unanimously decided to make it a rule of the trade that hereafter all sales should be made on the following basis as to terms: 1% per cent. discount for pay- ment in 15 days from date of ship- ment. I per cent. discount for payment in 30 days from date of shipment. Net sale, 40 days. No discount to be allowed after 30 days. Freight and duty to be cash. The action of the Ontario Lumber- men’s Association should receive the hearty endorsement of the trade in general, as it has been realized for some time that lumber was being sold on too long credit con- sidering the length of time which the manufacturers carry the raw material betweén the stump and the car. Shorter terms of credit have been adopted throughout the United States and there is no reason why Canadian lumbermen should not take steps in the same direction. The tendency in other commodities is also towards shortening the time allowed for payment. The M. Brennen Sons Company, of Hamilton, are reported to have purchased a timber limit of 10,000 acres in Nipissing district from J. R. Booth of Ottawa, for $50,000. If. CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. ONTARIO. The strength exhibited by white pine lumber has been a disappoint- ment to buyers who predicted a break when the new cut got in shipping condition. Some new stock has been moved, but prices are no lower, and this notwith- standing that yellow pine has been offered in some cases at slight concessions from the high basis recently reached. The manufactur- ers of pine are standing together on the presnt price level, and so far as can be learned. are offering no concessions to buyers. The quantity of purchasable lumber is limited and will all be required. In Toronto trade is still good, and dealers are busy figuring on bills of building material. Hemlock is almost as firm as pine and is in excellent demand. Hardwoods are not particularly active and there is some diversity of opinion as to prices. Mill run basswood is changing hands at $18 to $19 at the mill, although some manufacturers are asking $20. EASTERN CANADA. The log drives are again attract- ing considerable attention owing to the probability that a considerable quantity of logs will be hung up on the St. John river and branches. Some drives are already stranded and others are dependent upon the rain-fall of the next few days to keep them moving. Recent rains have helped driving operations on the St. Maurice river, in Quebec. Though a number of logs are hung up on some of the creeks, most of the mills will have enough to keep them going till late in the fall. Because of a demand for an in- crease in wages not being complied with seven of the large saw mills at St. John, N.B., are closed down and 500 men are idle. The deal pilers have been receiving $2 a day and demanded $2.30. While the mills KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. will be temporarily handicapped, the shut-down will operate in favor of those having lumber for sale. The New Brunswick cedar shin- gle market is barely steady and offerings of Extras are now being made in a few instances as low as $3.60 for Boston delivery. UNITED STATES. The weather during the past two weeks has not been altogether favorable for the growing grain crop. Whether this has exerted an unfavorable influence on the lumber business cannot be definitely known but the fact rernains that consider- able uncertainty exists in respect to prices. Dealers are delaying their orders under the impression that there will be plenty of lumber and that they will be able to make favorable purchases later in the year. Already it is said that yellow pine and spruce have declined from one to two dollars per thousand feet, but there has been no break in white pine or hemlock. Much de- pends upon the harvest. It the production of wheat and corn should approach in volume that of last year, it would do a great deal towards sustaining lumber prices. No harm can be done, however, if prices should seek a slightly lower level, as consumption would. be stimulated thereby. It is estimated that the hemlock output in the East- ern States will be less than last year on account of the smaller demand for bark. There bas been no weak- ing in the price of hardwoods, nor could any be expected in view of the slight appreciation which has taken place during the late period of prosperity. Basswood and birch are selling freely but are somewhat plentiful. GREAT BRITAIN. Although the lumber trade of Great Britain has been disappoint- ing in point of expansion, prices in most instances have been maintain- KILN-DRIED BIRGH FLOORING Fairview Cedar Lumber Co. va ed = 14? (ae) “PMY a tr June 13, 1906 ed. There have so far been no consignments of pine deals and this fact has given buyers more confidence. Spruce continues very firm, with little probability of early weakness. A cargo of several hundred standards was recently sold at £8 12s 6d per standard c.i.f. Manchester, and at a recent public sale in London some first quality spruce from Batiscan, Que., sold at £13 158, and second quality at £9 1os and 49 15s per standard. A small quantity of 3 x 11 inch un- © assorted from St. John, N. B., brought £10 10s. Birch is showing more weakness than any other class of lumber. There seems to be very little demand, and of the 1044 logs which arrived at Glasgow last month, the greater quantity were stored. Sales were made as low as 1g cents per cubic foot for 16% inch ‘average. Birch planks have sold from the ship’s side at 48 5s per standard. There is considerable inquiry for sawn oak lumber one to twoinch thick, and for planks cut to special dimension for waggon building. STOCKS AND PRICES.

June 13, 1906 CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION Ill > : THE OTTAWA VALLEY. me) (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) % Orrawa, June oth, 1906.—The remarkable feature in the lumber trade of the Ottawa Valley recently is the steadiness of prices. In all the principal lines a high standard was reached before the cutting operations became brisk. Some speculators had anticipated a drop when the season’s output began to reach the market, but sales continue ¥ to be made at advanced figures. Lath affords a striking example for continued high prices. When the upward tendency became notice- able a few months ago, some buyers held off, expecting more favorable conditions by this time, but they are now submitting to demands nearly twice as high as those of a _ year ago. Recently a firm advanc- ed quotations from $3.50 to $4, but there was no diminution in the sales. Four dollars is paid now where the current rate was $2 50a year ago. The orders are coming in so fast that car loads of the green product are going out every ‘ day. The No. 2 brand of white 3 pine at $3.50 and $3.75 finds a ready market in Montreal and the immediate vicinity of Ottawa. The & better class at 50 or 75 cents higher is nearly all shipped across the border. The larger shipments to _ the British market may be estimated from a statement by the Booth firm f that it has sent twice as much deal across the sea up to the present ‘ time as during the corresponding -_ periodlast season. An equal active ~demand exists in the American market for shipping cull grades, while the pine culls are quickly bought up in local circles. ? The shingle trade is keeping pace ___ with the other branches of the lum- ber industry.

As the 1906 drive reaches the city and the lumber kings see it pass through the mills they realize how the logs are disappearing from year to year. Consequently more labor has to be expended for a cer- tain quantity of manutactured lum- ber than before. With the con- stantly advancing rate of wages this condition accounts very important to the manufacturers, in fact, they say this has more to do than any- thing else with the rise in the price of lumber. About October 1st, the J. R. Booth firm will have their new paper mill in operation. After this Mr. Booth expects to make more money out of his spruce than formerly. The output of the mill will be 100 tons a day, all of which will be the brand of paper used for newspapers. In order to get sale for this large quantity the firm will push into the British and Australian markets. In looking over the new mill it was observed that sawdust is to be used for fuel. Carriers have been constructed for this purpose and the designers of the factory believe they can effect a plan where- by the boilers can be ted for at least nine months of the year trom the sawdust of the lumber mill which is now consumed in an incinerator. The saving would be $200 or $300 a day, for it is estimated that it re- quires half a ton of coal to produce a ton of paper. Mr. Booth’s new paper mill-is equipped with three Pusey & Jones machines trom Welmington, Del., of a more up-to-date type than is found in most of the factories of the Dominion.

Mr. Booth has plenty of spruce on his older limits but will draw most heavily from the recently acquired area in the locality of the Montreal river, where he has contracted to cut at least 20,000 cords per year. COOPERAGE STOCK. Referring to cooperage stock, the Sutherland-Innes Company, of Chatham, Ont., say: The general trade has shown a decided improvement, and a great many of the larger consumers are now placing their contracts, or ask- ing for quotations with the view of placing contracts. The production of staves, we believe, is going to be even lower than has been estimated, and there is no doubt that if there is any shortage it is going to be in staves, as while the quantity of heading manufactured is much less than in ordinary years, we believe there will be enough heading manufactured to take care of all the staves. Hoops continue to be compara- tively plentiful, and prices are still about maintaining their own; in some cases, the smaller manufac- turers are offering hoops a shade below the average price, and ap- parently there is not going to be any shortage of hoops this season, unless we have a very wet summer, which will prevent the trucking of green logs. To sum up the situation briefly, —————— WHITE PINE AND SPRUCE LUMBER ROSSED PULP WJ0D St. Gabriel Lumber Co. Limited St. Gab-iel De Brandon, Que. Mills on Joliette Branch C.P. Ry. we should say that prices are being maintained all along the line, with very few exceptions, and with the increased demand, which is bound to come very shortly, prices will be higher, more especially in staves. — The situation in tight © barrel material is about the same, the de- mand is about equal to the supply and in some lines, more particularly in the heavy and larger staves, it is difficult to supply the demand.

There is talk of a weaker lumber market, but the prices at which manufacturers are holding stocks do not indicate any change. The supply is naturally increasing, but nevertheless it is difficult to buy any large blocks of white pine. Confidence i$ not waning, although for the next two months there may be a slight lull in business. The call for building lumber is as urgent asever. It was reported last week that about thirty million feet of logs had been hung up on the north shore but it, is probable that. the recent rains may have moved them. Nevertheless, the success of the drives is not yet assured. Pine lath are keeping close to the high price recently established, namely, $4.25 at the mill for No. 1. Dealers are cautious about buying at this figure, but the present outlook is that a large consumption this year @ill prevent a sharp break. EASTERN CANADA. The situation in Eastern Canada is daily growing more unfavorable in respect to the log drives. The water in the streams has fallen rapidly and a considerable quantity of logs are reported to be stranded, with very little prospect of coming out thisyear. This, in conjunction, with the shut-down of the St. John mills on account of the strike of deal pilers, has caused manufactur- ers to take a somewhat gloomy view of the season’s operations. production of lumber is almost cet- tain to be small and a continuation of even the present demand is likely to result in higher prices. New Brunswick cedar shingles are un- changed in prices, but spruce lath are somewhat weaker, the recent high prices evidently having stimu- lated production to an abnormal de- gree. The decline from the high point has been ab out 75 cents. WESTERN CANADA. The lumber trade of Western Canada is showing more activity than usual at this season of the year. The British Columbia mills have all the business they can handle and many of them are refusing orders on account of inability to a i ee =! their The - CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION make shipment as eariy as required. It is understood that a considerable quantity of lumber bas been yf ur- chased at the Coast mills for ship- ment to San Francisco and it is probable that other orders of a simi- lar kind will follow. The question of making a further advance in prices will probably be taken up at the Fall meeting of the Mountain Lumber Manufacturers’ Association, but this, we believe, will depend to some extent upon the western wheat crop. It the yield should be large, prosperity will doubtless continue for another year, and with it a brisk demand for lumber. Building opera- tions in Winnipeg continue. excep- tionally active, the permits this year reaching nearly $6,000,000. UNITED STATES. Spruce lumber is showing con- siderable weakness, more than has been witnessed for a long time. Values are down from $1 to $2. Frames 9 inch and under. have sold at $25 in one ot two cases, but when this is so the order has either been a difficult one or one for ‘prompt shipment. The majority will sell at $24 and one manufact- urer states that he will accept fnture business at $23 and $25. Random is also weaker, and sales have been made under list prices. Furring is offered at $20. At a meeting held at Boston on June oth to discuss the situation 80 per cent. of the spruce manufacturers of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont were represented. It was decided to curtail the output 50 per cent. during July at least and to continue the curtailment as long as might be necessary to hold up the market. As yet the weakness in spruce has aot affected white pine, which is almost as active as last month. Box and barn boards are scarce at Buffalo and Tonawanda. Hard- woods are firm, with basswood showing the most activity. Birch sells well. KNIGHT BROTHERS CO. LIMITED Burk’s Falls, Ont. BRILISH COLUMBIA LETTER. (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) Vancouver, B. C., June 11th, 1906. — While British Columbia mills have all the business they can attend to, in fact orders are still behind in the filling, the path of the manufacturer has many thorns mixed with the roses. Prices for lumber are good, but the prices for logs are very high and very stiff. $9 for fir and $10 for cedar are the common figures, though the buyer who goes to the camps may get logs somewhat cheaper, as he takes the risk ot towing. Labor, too, is very scarce, and this is becoming a problem. Orientals who a year ago worked for $1.25 a day or less, realize that their services are indis- pensable, and demand and are getting as high as $1.75 and even $2 aiday in instances. Hindoos, since they began to make money working in the mills, are now coming to British Columbia, and their number is considerably over 1,200. They are a better size of workmen than the Chinese or Japanese, and can live just as cheaply. As far as they are con- cerned from the immigration point of view, they are not regarded as desirable, as they send away or take away all the money they can save. It is dificult to say just when mills will catch up with their orders. One manufacturer stated to-day that he is now filling orders three months old, and the people are glad to get the material... Mills are starting up in various parts of, the province, a number of Americans securing interests. G.O Buchan- an’s mill at Kaslo, which has been idle tor three years, has been taken over by W. E. Cooke, mayor of Harvey, North Dakota. The town has given him a bonus of »$5,000 and tax exemption for seven years. Three new mills are proposed for Burrard Inlet. Conditions in the shingle branch KILN-DRIED BIRGH “FLOORING Fairview Cedar Lumber oo of the industry are faiz, prices re- main the same, bolts are still high, and the scarcity of labor is affecting this as well as the lumber branch. Some shingles are exported to the other side, but the majority of the output finds a market in the Cana- dian west. The higher price and scarcity of lumber is being felt in Vancouver, and while building is not seriously handicapped, many frame buildings contemplated have not been gone op with. In the Kootenay, light snowfall last winter interfered with the getting out of logs, and summer logging has had to be resorted to. Now, low water is the drawback. Despite these conditions, it is expected the output of the Kootenay will reach 150,000,000 feet this season. Messrs. G. A. Lammars and J. P. McGoldrick, of Stillwater, Minn., who are principals in the Royal Lumber Company, are about to open up their limits at Nelson, B.C. These people also own 55 square miles of timber on Moresby Island, HEMLOCK SPECIAL June 20, 190 near Port Simpson, and have sent up A. J. Mulvey to Jocate more. They have in view the erection of a mill as soon as the building of the Grand Trunk Paciffc has pro- gressed so far as to warrant a market tor the output. NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER. _ (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN,. St. Joun, N.B., June 12th, 1906. — —Since last writing the prospect — for a good manufacturing season at © the local mills has received a severe set-back, in the form of a strike on — the part of the deal pilers. On — Saturday last a demand was made _ for an increase of wages amounting: a to 15 per cent. or for $2.30 per day, — where formerly $2.00 had been paid. Failing to receive a favorable reply the pilers at all the mills but three went out and operations have a tirely ceased for the time being. At the three mills mentioned the pilers are working at the $2.00 per day rate, but it is feared that it will be — only a matter of a day or two until — they follow the example of the We are prepared to fill, on short notice, bills in Hemlock, in all lengths 10 to 24 feet.

WOODSTOCK, ONT- KNIGHT BROTHERS LIMITED t is MONTREAL, QUE. ig % a June 20, 1906 2 others. It is generally believed that the strike of the pilers was but the beginning of a movement to obtain a higher schedule for the entire crews, and, taking this view of the matter, the employers, it is quite apparent, have resolved to go to almost any length rather than grant the increase asked. What the outcome will be is a mere matter of conjecture, but the trend of opinion leads to the conclusion that it may mean two or even three months of idleness for all the local mills. Reports from the upper St. John River indicate a disappointing finish of the stream-driving season, which began so auspiciously. Handicapp- ed by the scarcity of capable men and the unexpectedly {rapid falling off of the water, the contractors en- gaged upon the work have found it impossible in most cases to bring more than a portion of the logs. This is particularly true of the far up-river districts, where many millions have been abandoned. Day by day reports are coming in that add materially to the volume of logs thus situated and already exper- ienced river men are naming figures ranging from fifty to sixty-five millions of feet. - During the last few weeks the demand tor ‘‘American” deals has been marked by a certain slackness due no doubt almost entirely to present and probable labor troubles in New York City and vicinity. The general impression is that the _ depression is only temporary and that wich the removal of this ‘obstacle it will be a matter of a very short time only until the values of a month ago are again prevalent.

This circumstance in conjunction with the fact that a large percentage of the logs will not come out this year, added to the probability. of continuity o! the labor troubles, all tend to the like- lihood of the volume of shipments of deals from this port to United States being, during 1906, much smaller than has been the case for many years. At present writing no important quantity is ready for shipment. It is improbable that a quotation could be obtained on any large quantity of ‘‘American” deals for summer or early fall delivery, but for such small quantities as are available figures closely resembling the following would be asked : 10’s and 12’s, $18.50 to $19.50 per M. ft. 9 inch, $15.50 to $16.50 per M. ft. 6’s and 8’s, $13.50 to $14.50 per M. tt. f.o.b.

The meeting was taken up largely in discussing and fixing. standard sizes and in further going over the new grading rules, which are now in process of compilation and are about to be issued-in book form to all the manufacturers. ; ' Speaking of the meeting to a CANADA LUMBERMAN representative, Mr. Wells, the secretary of the As- sociation, said: ‘‘ It, has been es- tablished that labor is very scarce and every means is to be taken to obtain outside a supply of compe- _ tent and reliable labor for the in- terior mills. We think, however, that upon the lines we are pursuing to overcome this problem, we will . have an abundant supply before long. Wages are high and the employment is of the very best to be had anywhere.” Mr. Wells fur- ther stated it had been decided to let prices stand as they are at pres- ent, but at the next meeting, which WHITE PINE AND SPRUCE LUMBER _ ROSSED PULP WOOD St. Gabriel Lumber Co.

Ry. will probably be held late in August, prices are likely to go up some, as the stocks at the mills, owing to the present great demand, will prob- ably be very much lower than ever before at that time of the year.” The faces.ot the different mem- bers in attendance, one and all, reflected the healthy and happy condition of the lumber trade, all seeming to feel that now they will be. able to make up, in part at least, what the recent hard times in the lumber trade has cost them.

There are evidences that - the heavy buying of lumber which was done earlier in. the year placed a large percentage of the season’s cut in the hands of dealers. Most of these dealers are in a position, to carry the stock through any tempor- ary depression which may occur and consequently there is little’ un- easiness because the demand is. not as active as during the spring months. Dullness is usually ex- pected around midsummer, and there is reason to believe that existing conditions will bring about an active trade a few weeks later. Even at the present time the con- sumption of lumber in building enterprises is large and dealers are obliged to buy from time to time in order to keep their stocksup. The claim is occasionally heard that hardwoods can be purchased at a lower price than was asked two months ago, but it does not appear that there has been any particular weakening in hardwood values. Prices of white pine lath are ex- ceptionally firm. The Sarnia list has this week been advanced 25 cents, making the ruling quotations $4.75 for No.1 4-foot, $4.25 ter No. No. 2, and $2.25 for N3. 1 32-inch. WESTERN , CANADA. Mr. John A. Christie, of Christie & Company, Limited, wholesale lumber dealers, Winnipeg, report that they have about everything cleaned out as regards stock ~This Company has always made a specialty of purchasing complete stocks, or a season’s cut of a mill, Mr. Christie states that there is an unequalled demand, and that lumber retailers as well as wholesalers will take anything they can get in the lumber line. The prices throughout Western Canada are firm. There has been some considerable shipping from Rainy river to the States, and no American lumber coming in worth mentioning. A Winnipeg lumberman showed a representative of the CANADA LUMBERMAN an order for a car load If. CANADA LUMBERMAN hoe a aoa’ ORE Ae WEEKLY EDITION of pine lumber. In a foot note to the letter it was stated, ‘‘if you can- not ship this pine at once, send spruce, or anything as long as it is lumber, we must have it.’ EASTERN CANADA. There is little change in the lumber situation in Eastern Canada. Shipments to the Eastern States are less active on account of the break in prices there, but most manufacturers on this side of the line are maintaining a firm stand, believing that al) the lumber manu- factured will find a market. Rafting operations on the St. John river are proceeding satisfactorily, the Fred- ericton Boom Company having se- cured 8,000,000 feet last week. It is not yet ‘known, however, what quantity of logs will be hung up, although one estimate fixes 25,000,- ooo feet as the amount. New Brunswick cedar shingles are weaker and can be procured at $3.60 on Boston freight rate. Pre- dictions are made of still lower prices. UNITED STATES. Midsummer dullness now charac- terizes the lumber markets of the United States. The demand is quieter than it has been for several months, the recent weakness in Southern pine having caused a feeling of uncertainty and induced likely buyers to defer the placing of orders. There has been no better- ment in southern pine prices, which are barely steady at the late decline. THE ONTARIO | LUMBER C2 nurs ar Lites .ere c. T.R. Delivery In hemlock, too, some weakness is shown, although some manufac- turers still claim to be getting list prices. Hemlock piece stuff is selling in the Chicago market for outside delivery at $19.50 to $20 for short and narrow stock. The decline in spruce prices is now universally admitted and is claimed to be but the natural result of inflated values. The Boston market has dropped as low as $18 for lengths not over 20 feet. It is said that a considerable quantity of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia spruce has gone into the Eastern States, one Philadelphia concern having contracted last winter for 50,000,000 feet. GREAT BRITIAN. The consumption of lumber in Great Britian has lately shown more briskness, and as the supply is not large, the tendency of prices has been to advance. This applies particularly to spruce. At Liver- pool £8 5s to £8 7s 6d per stand- ard c.i.f. for specifications of 60 to 70 per cent. 7%-inch is about the present value. Many of the stand- ard sizes are well cleared out, and 4 inch x 7 inch, of which there is usually a superabundance, is bring- ing 20s per standard more than 3 inch. The consumption of white pine is not as active as that of spruce, but prices are firm. There has been considerable buying of hemlock, which is coming iato favor on account of its cheapness.

STOCKS AND PRICES. J. R. Martin, assistant timber inspector, Nelson, B. C., reports that a great many cedar poles are going out of the Kootenay district into the States, some going even as far as New York. The Cushing Bros. Company, of Calgary, has purchased the entire output of J. B. Winlaw’s mill on the Slocan Railroad in British Columbia, and it is understood a deal has been put through for the purchase of Mr. Winlaw’s entire plant and limits by Cushing Bros. ~ Anumber of men who have been employed on W.

Apparently the dealers were under the impression — that there were large stocks held — over at the mills and consequently — they allowed their own stocks to run down. Now, they cannot be- — gin to get orders promptly filled.” ‘“ The lumbermen,” continued Mr. Carney ‘‘ are afraid they are not going to be able to have any better stocks on hand in the fall, — owing to the present demand clean- q ing them out as fast as they can — manufacture.

The sale was a success, 1,378 i square miles being disposed of and realizing a total of $283,655, an — average of $203 per square mile, — which is the highest price ever obtained for spruce limits.

A small 18 mile lot in the township of Dechene, Lake St. John West, was next put up at $400 per square mile and finally adjudged to Mr. Paradis at $560 per mile. Another small lot of 4% miles in’the township of Kenigamic, put up at $300, was knocked down to the same purch- aser at $410 per square mile. A 2¥% mile lot in the township of Begin Grandville Agency, put up at $200, was adjudged after spirited competition to Mr. Maurice Quinn at the remarkably high price of $500 per square mile. The same buyer also acquired a small lot of 1% miles in the township of Restigouche at $400 per square mile and still another of 5 miles in the township of Macpes, Rimouski West, at $1,000 per square mile, Mr. Quinn’s final bid creating quite a sensation. $325 per square mile was given by Baron Lepine for 334 miles in the township of Carleton, Bonaventure West, and Lefebvre & Mann paid $320 per square mile for 48 miles on the River St. Ann, D.

HARDWOOD FLOORING SITUATION. Manufacturers of oak, maple and beech flooring have enjoyed a very prosperous season. The hardwood flooring business has fallen for the most part into the hands of a group of very able men, sagacious enough to understand that they must not overload the market. if they would have a fair price for their product. The maple and beech flooring plants, which are very largely located in Michigan, have an annual capacity of more than 300,000,000 feet. The output of these plants tor the past _ year has been considerably less than © 200,000,000 feet. Every producer has awakened to the necessity or keeping his output down to market requirements.

Hardwood flooring manufacture is a distinct calling, and every man who has ever gone into it has spent a lot of money in paying for ex- perience. In the history of northern hardwood flooring production there is nO concern with a small plant which has ever made any money ; on the other hand the big plant calls for an investment running from $100,000 to $250,000 for fac- tory, raw material, flooring stock and the carrying of accounts. It requires experienced and_ skilled workmen to produce a good quality of maple or beech flooring. Buyers view with suspicion the output of a new plant, knowing that it takes time to educate a force up to the high standard of manipulation and accuracy necessary for the produc- tion of high-class flooring from these very refractory woods. Manufacturers have in the past been obliged to spend nearly twice as many dollars per thousand feet in the actual; ‘production of maple. flooring as have experts in that line during the last year or two. The manufacturer who has paid dearly for his experience is able to produce maple flooring at a profit, on a price basis that would mean loss to the amateur in the trade. There is no demand for any more of these plants at the present time, and the average producer of maple lumber will find his bank balance in as good shape, at least at the end of the first few years, if he sells his lumber to existing maple flooring factories, as by entering upon the production of the flooring himself. —Hardwood Record.

The volume of business is rather above the average for this time of the year, and very little complaint is heard in respect to conditions. Stocks are not accumulating any faster than is considered healthy,and the outlook is for a firm market tor some time to come. There is a_ heavy consumption of building ma- terial. Building operations in Tor- onto show no abatement, the num- ber of permits issued during the month of June being greater than in any previous month in the his- tory of the city. For the first six months of the year the approxiniate | value of buildings for which permits ~ were granted was $6,195,470, com- pared with $4,494,326 for the first ” six months of 1905. Hardwoods are steady but have made no gain from a price stand- point. Good stocks, however, are none too plentiful, and there is nothing in the immediate outlook on which to base a prediction of lower prices. EASTERN CANADA. The most important development of the past week was the termina- tion of the strike of mill employees at St. John. The men have return- ed to work at the former rate of If, wages and the mills are now -in operation. The demand for spruce for shipment to Great Britain is im- proving and manuf&cturers: are showing confidence in the situation. Offers for United States specifica- tions are lower in sympathy with the recent break, but the limited quantity to be manufactured this season is expected to bring about a recovery in the near future. The latest re- ports from the drives on the St. John river indicate that probably 50,000,000 feet of logs will be hung up. “New Brunswick shingles are, if anything, weaker and have been offered in a few instances at $3.50 for Extras on Boston freight rate. Larger offerings of lath have also resulted in slightly lower prices. UNITED STATES. The movement of lumber is light- er than during the spring months, but recent inguiries indicate that buyers are looking around for stock for the fall trade. Crops are mak- ing satisfactory progress and the industrial conditions of the country continue unimpaired. The outlook for lumber is therefore satisfactory. Southern pine is selling in consider- able volume at the recent decline in prices. White pine is firm, with a good demand for the coarse grades. Hemlock is in a strong position, as dry stocks are exceptionally light for this season of the year. In the Saginaw Valley 2x4 inch, in 12 and 14 foot lengths, is held at $19; THE ONTARIO LUMBER sacs ar i ok .erd c. T.R. Delivery CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION _16 foot at $20, and 18 foot at $23. There is a fairly active trade in hardwoods, with no over-stock ex- cepting in maple, of which the sup- ply is quite liberal. GREAT BRITAIN. The strong position of Canadian lumber in the British market is now generally admitted. The demand for spruce is good, with 3xg and 11 inch deals inquired for quite freely owing to stocks having be- come depleted early in the spring. There is also considerable inquiry for waggon lengths in 2% x 7 battens. Prices'show no signs of weakening but are likely to go still higher before the end of the year. White pine deals are also considered excellent property with prospects ot an early advance. Red pine is quieter. There has recently been some fair buying of Quebec birch, but complaint is still heard of an over-supply of St. John and Halifax shipments. BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER. (Correspondence of the CanaDA LUMBERMAN.) Vancouver, B. C., June 25th, 1906.—There is no diminution in the active conditions of the lumber industry. ‘*With the promise of good crops in the Northwest this year,” remarked Mr. T. F. Paterson this morning, ‘‘the outlook is excellent, and I have not the slight- est anxiety regarding the demand for lumber for the next yeer, or MANUFACTURERS WHITE PINE LUMBER, LATH AND SHINGLES.

WILL MAKE SPECIAL PRICES ON BROKEN LOTS AT OUTSIDE POINTS even two years. Everything is look- ing fine for business. In_ the log- ‘ging, prices are firm and the demand strong. Figures range $6, $8, $10, delivered, and the raw material is scarce at that. Of course, the de- mand for lumber causes the scarcity of logs, and this season there are many hundred thousands of feet of timber being taken out more than in other years. With all this, the mills are not over supplied. Lumber prices remain the same as at last quotation, based on $15 for rough.” At the Chemainus mills, a night shift is being put on to cope with the business. Most of the cut from that mill is exported to foreign ports, but’ considerable is shipped via the C.P.R., and this railway company is using a lot for its own purposes. Three new mills are contemplated for Burrard Inlet, one of which, that being erected by Mr. J. S. Emerson, at Port Moody, being almost ready. Interior lumbermen are receiving strong pro‘ests from the newspapers for sending printing out of the country. There is a large number of Minnesota people in the lumber business in the interior, and the statement is that they are sending their printing to houses in Minne- apolis. It was only a short time ago that the rmewspapers gave able support to an agitation respecting leases, which was successful in attaining the object sought, and they think this is hardly fair treat- ment now.

There is a fair business, with quite a few shingles going over the line. The recent strike in the Puget Sound mills will affect the market in British Columbia is the opinion of a manufacturer expressed to-day. He points out — that the prices over there are now going up, and the reduction in out- put will keep their shingles out of the Canadian market, while giving more room for the B.C. article in American territory. Altogether,the — shingle business is in good shape. — The Chinese boycott is bringing — trade to mills in this province, in — preference to those on Puget Sound. Formerly all the business went to the United States, but coast mills are now shipping regularly to pie.) Kong. ry A feature of recent trade in con- nection with the mills at New West- minster is the shipment of a large amount of lumber to Nome. When it is remembered that Seattle is the only Northern Pacific port having direct continual connection with Nome, it is remarkable that Ameri- can business of this kind should come to British Columbia. New Westminster just now is very busy with all the mills in operation. =—— —_—_—_——————e ae Spruce frames have sold in Boston | this week at $23, although the general asking price for g inch and under is $24.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION ES OEE RS ee SERS ee ee ree ee NE UNSWICK LETTER. (Correspondence of the cANADA LUMBERMAN.) St: Joun, N.B., June 28th, 1906.. —The strike among the .mill-hands, mentioned in letter of June 12th, has been settled after three weeks of idleness at all the local mills ex- cept one ; the men have decided to go back, unconditionally and at the old rate of wages, By July 2nd it “is-expected that all the mills will be running at their full capacity. The period of idleness will affect the season’s output to the extent of from fifteen to eighteen millions of feet of long lumber alone. Log driving operations on the St. ohn river are not materializing as favorably as was hoped, earlier in the season, would be the case. The indications are that the estimates of the probable hang-up mentioned in last letter (fifty to sixty-five mil- lions of feet) were well founded. A feature which is of much inter- est to local lumbermen is the com- pact which has been made by the most prominent of the Maine manu- facturers to curtail the output of deals during the balance of the season. This circumstance, pled with the fact that New Bruns- wick’s output of ‘‘ American ” deals will be far below the average, will no doubt have an immediate effect upon prices in the New York mar- kets ; an effect which will speedily manifest itself in a tendency toward higher prices. Locally the feeling in regard to ‘‘ American” deals is rather unsettled and uncertainty in regard to the future is present in a marked degree. The local demand for _ Spruce for shipment to Great Bri- ‘tain is of such a nature that all that has been manufactured so far this season, as well as all that can be _manufactured for several weeks’ to ROSSED PULP WO00D ‘St. Gabriel Lumber Co.

Shipments have been keeping pace with the mill cuts and during the recent strike the wharves at all the local mills have been practically cleaned up of ‘‘ English.” For the balance of the season, the output at this port and along the river promises to be about normal, providing that some unlooked for . obstacle does not arise to prevent. Local interested parties seem to have every confidence in the ith- mediate future as regards the sale of N.B. spruce in the markets of Great Britain. Reports tell of prices that have held firm in the face of heavy receipts, and while the de- mand is not so strong as the indi- cations of early spring seemed to promise, a healthy volume of busi- ness is confidently expected.

(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN ) Orrawa, June 30th, 1906.—The lumber manufacturers in Ottawa are producing in very large quanti- ties for the foreign market. The salés are so large that they are unable to get sufficient shipping facilities. The shortage of cars has been a cause for complaint for some weeks and recently the chief lumber shippers found that they could not even get enough barges. A’well known mill owner says he would send a greater quantity of pine deals if he were not confronted with this transportation problem. Planing and. Matching —IN TRANSIT— S.

Shipments to England get the pre- ference on the barges, so that the home trade suffers most when there is a difficulty in movement. The supply of barges and cars the lumbermen say is not less than it was in other years- but the heavy sales surpass previous records. The output of the mills is loaded and sent away just as soon as it is. available. The month of July usually witnesses a slump in the lumber activity, but the prospects are that this year will be an excep- tion. The immense sales of white pine, and at high rates, have had the effect of advancing spruce a dollar per thousand. Other quotations are continuing firm and the manu- facturers are most happy in the progress of their industry. No. 1 white pine lath at $4 a thousand is in great demand in the United States and the second grade is selling equally well to Canadian purchasers. The local lumbermen report the drives as making satistactory pro- gress. There is considerable dis- cussion among them as to the pro- posed prohibition of Sunday labor in moving logs. The new Lord’s Day Act declares this kind of work to be illegal despite the protest on behalf of the lumbermen. While Ottawa representatives of the trade say their policy has been to have as little Sunday work as possible, and -believing that river drivers musi*have a day of rest, they as- sert that the absolute prohibition of Sunday work would-be .a serious handicap in bringing their logs to the mill. The breaking of booms would have to be attended to promptly for instance. In the ear- ly spring when creeks fill with the freshets these channels have to be used at once and it is often obliga- tory to labor seven days of the week. While Parliament declined to make special provision for this work it is stated that the lumber- men will be allowed to continue Sunday operations in cases of emergency by virtue of the clause which permits labor of necessity and mercy. Mr. Peter Whelan, of the Shep- pard and Morse Company, has gone to England as a delegate to the Im- perial Congress in London and will look into British lumber conditions when abroad. Hemlock lath are selling in the Saginaw Valley at $5 for No. 1 and $4.50 for No. 2. A. F, Holden, Pres. J. M. Diver, Gen'l.-Mg F. H. Goff, Vice-Pres. E. C.

Clemens, of New Hamburg, on the other, for a sum of money, which has been paid into court by the company, as both parties claimed interest in the funds. CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. ONTARIO. The lumber market continues firm but- somewhat featureless. Heavy buying of white pine for the account of wholesalers is almost a thing of the past, as the bulk of the production to be disposed.of in. this way was contracted for early in the year. The retail trade, however, are quite busy, and from all parts of the province come reports of an active demand for building lumber. The drives in the north have made good progress and the cut of pine promises to be fully as large as that of last year. That all the stock will be required is now taken for granted, and there is little concern about prices. The lower grades are: if anything, a Jittle firmer. Hem- lock continues strong, with the quantity of stock offering less than was anticipated. Some of the smaller manufacturers have offered birch and basswood at slight reduct- ions, but the general market is not weak. British Columbia red cedar shin- gles have advanced and are now quoted as follows. for Ontario delivery: xx, $2.40; xxx, $3.25; xxxx, $3.47 ; xxxxx, $3.80. UNITED STATES. There is still a strong tone to the United States lumber market. Southern pine has recovered some of the recent decline, and is now being bought quite freely by whole- sale dealers in anticipation of a brisk fall demand. At Buffalo and Tonawanda the demand for white pine has improved during the past fortnight and all grades are selling more evenly than formerly. The lower grades are largely in the hands of the box manufacturers. Spruce is not as weak as in the month of June, but large blocks can still be bought at a concession ot from $1 to $2 per thousand. Hem- lock values are firm. Chicago dealers are quoting No. 1 hemlock If. piece stuff, 2x 4 to 2x10, at $20 to $21. In the Saginaw Valley boards are quoted at $19 and $20 and piece stuff from $18 up, accord- ing todimensions. The hardwoods are getting more plentiful but are going to consumption in consider- able volume. Quotations in Michi- gan are: Elm, $22 to $26; basswood, $22 for No. 2 common and better, and $15 for culls; birch, $20 to $25; maple $16 to $18. GREAT BRITAIN. The demand for lumber in Great Britain has improved, but the con- sumption is still below what it should be. This is about the only unsatis- factory feature, as stocks are light and prices generally firm. For spruce importers are paying an ad- vance on the quotations ruling two months ago. Good pine deals are in fair demand, but sidings have accumulated to some extent. Wide deals are worth about $165 per standard of 1,980 feet board measure. There has been an active consumption of oak and birch, but large receipts of the latter trom the Maritime Provinces have _ been against the price, which still shows weakness. Birch planks are being enquired for more freely. RED CEDAR SHINGLES. Another advance has taken place in the price of red cedar shingles. The advance of 5 cents in Washing- ton about two weeks ago was fol- lowed by a similar increase last CANADA LUMBERMAN week, and on Saturday last the British Columbia manufacturers followed the initiative of the Wash- ington mills by advancing prices for shingles for eastern shipment by 1o cents. There is a brisk demand, but the strike of shingle weavers had no doubt much to do with the advance. The strike and increase of prices on the other side should make things better in British Co- lumbia. It will give the Canadian product the Canadian market, and besides will make them more in de- mand on the American side, where large exportations are constantly made. The shingle mills, it was an- nounced, would resume operations this week in an effort to break the strike, but at the time of going to press no definite news regarding the situation had reached us. For the past twenty days mills repre- senting about 75 per cent. of the output of red cedar shingles in Washington have been closed down, which has strengthened the market to a wonderful degree. THE GLASGOW MARKET. In issuing their half-yearly report of the Glasgow market, Messrs. Edmiston & Mitchell say: The most prominent examples of reduced stocks, as compared with same date last year, are spruce and pine deals, which are less than a half in the case of Quebec deals, and only a fifth of the Low Port stock at THE ONTARIO LUMBER sacs ee: North Bay.

WILL MAKE SPECIAL PRICES ON BROKEN LOTS AT OUTSIDE POINTS Lar” 38, WEEKLY EDITION 30th June, 1905. Of Quebec logs, the only examples of an increased stock are elm and birch, the latter having been imported pretty freely of late. j As regards the consumption dur- ing the past six months, this, in most items, shows a regrettable falling-off, as the following examples will show. Pine and spruce deals are about 12,500 standards as com- pared with 18,600 standards for the ° first six months of 1905 and Quebec logs 5,800 loads against 6,400. Examples of an increased consump- tion are Oregon pine, birch and American oak, all of which compare. favorably with last year. Taken as a whole, the import is somewhat less for the six months than for the corresponding period last year. In the sense that prices generally are very firm, the market may be said to be in a favorable condition, but it must not be lost sight of that this is caused not by an active de- mand existing, but because of light stocks and light imports. In the event of animproved demand setting in, prices would be likely to advance very smartly, as, even apart from the small stocks on hand, there is the fact that most buyers have tor some time back pursued the policy of purchasing only for immediate requirements, and where a few years ago they would have carried a con- siderable stock, nowadays, they seem to aim at keeping this down to the lowest possible point.

Another new market for British Columbia lumber has been opened up. For several years all the orders for lumber used in Hong Kong have been placed in the United States, © and probably the companies would have retained them, but the Chinese boycott on United States manu- facturers some little time ago, gave British Columbia firms a _ good chance for new business, with the result that Messrs. Lemon, Gonason & Co., have orders to send by each steamer which leaves Victoria for Hong Kong, a fairly large shipment of lumber, generally about 40,000 feet. It is very likely that these or- ders will increase considerably. All the local mills are now working to their full capacity, and the orders for shipments of lumber to the Yukon and the Northwest seem to be placed equally amongst local firms. The Shawnigan Lake Lumber Company’s mill on the lake is now turning~ out about 60,000 feet per day, and the orders are coming in so plentifully, that the mill is kept up to this out- put. Lumber rates from Puget Sound to coastwise points are on the in- crease: to California points is now higher than it has been for years, and - shippers state that they expect the price to continue soaring. Shipping men state that the advance in price’ Planing and Matching —IN TRANSIT— S. POMEROY, Orillia PLANING, MATCHING, RESAWING, SIDING, FLOORING, MOULDINGS in Car Lots. Factory near Station.

Guy Moulthrop, general manager of the Moulthorp Lumber Company, John’s Island, Ont., recently closed a deal for 25 square miles of timber limits near their mill. The timber was purchased by Mr. Moulthrop and Moon & Macdonald. This will give the Moulthrop Company a ten- year stock for their mill, which has a capacity of about 23,000,000 feet annually.

Pine and hemlock lumber con- tinueto exhibit remarkable strength, with nearly all grades moving free- ly. Prices are now at a point from which they are not likely toadvance very much, but it may be said with equal certainty thac they are not likely to decline. So much of the stock has passed out ‘of first hands that there is no pressure to sell. The United States demand is still an important factor, while the large local consumption is absorbing the low grade stock. As the season advances and there is no accumula- tion of lumber, the predictions of lower prices become less numerous. The hardwood market is steady, but as much stock was carried by wholesalers and dealers through last winter, it is being marketed at every favorable opportunity, and this is against an improvement in prices. When this has been ab- sorbed and the decrease in the pro- duction this season is appreciated, prices will probably harden. The lath trade is good, and the scarcity of dry material is indicated by the Saraia price, which is $4.70 tor No. 1 white pine and $4.25 for No. 2. EASTERN GANADA. At present the outlook for the. lumber business in the eastern provinces appears good. The de- mand is very strong in many parts of the Maritime province, and in many cases in excess of the supply, No. 20. causing profitable orders to be de- clined from inability to fill them. Spruce and pine are much enquired ‘for, and hemlock is also in consider- able demand. Lath is a saliable commodity also. There are no heavy stocks being held over, every- thing is shipped as soon as ready. In some instances there has been slight inconvenience through short- age of boats for loading spruce for American markets. Some prices realized for pine boards, 8” and up, 10 feet and up in length, were $25.00 f.0.b., and for spruce 6” and up, $17.00 f.o.b. Prices are firm and indications are that'there will be little or no open- ing for lower prices. On the con- trary the tendency is to rise. UNITED STATES. The market for building material is in a generally satisfactory condi- tion. ‘The demand is good. Some little difficulties of a local nature have existed, such as excess of orders over capacity to fill, or lack of transportation facilities. The harvest outlook is good and this has a favorable influence on the lumber markets. The white pine market continues strong. As the season advances indications seem to point to a con- tinuation of this, with a tendency to- wards higher prices. The supply has not been at all in excess of the demand nor does it promise that it will be. Northern hemlock is quite popular as a building material in the cities, and the country is increasing the use of it. Hemlock prices were affected by the recent drop in yellow pine, but the rise of that commodity has strengthened the hemlock mark- et. The stocks in northern mills are not burthensome, and manufact- urers are looking forward to heavi- er demands for fall trade. Prices in shingles continue to ad- vance in consequence of the continu- ed shut down. This article is be- coming scarce at a time when the output should be up to its possible extent to meet the demand. GREAT BRITAIN. There seems to be an improve- ment in the general tone of business with an upward tendency in prices. The trade in Canadian yellow pine deals, which has been declining for some time past has this year great- ly diminished. This has _ been If. SS ————————— 0008080808 — — ————————E EE caused by the demand of the Amer- ican market, and should that country’s demand for this article diminish, Canadians may find it necessary to return to the English market. In Liverpool, the demand for spruce continues good. The recent strike in St. John, N.B., has. had its influence in keeping back ship- ments. There has been no change in prices, fair specifications realizing £8 2s. 6d. to £8 5s. c.i.f. Liver- pool. There seems to be no indica- tions of lower prices for some time to come. The pine deal. market keeps very strong and is likely to do’so during the season. In Manchester there is no per- ceptible change either in trade or prices, but the possibility of higher quotations in the near future seems apparent. Cargoes of spruce and pitch pine are going to consumers as rapidly as they can be got at, and present signs indicate a short- age for the winter season. THE OTTAWA VALLEY. (Correspomdence of the CanaDA LUMBERMAN). Ottawa, July 20, 1906.—Ottawa lumber firms will begin hiring men for the shanties about August Ist. There have been reports that it will be hard.to supply the demand for men this year, owing to the extens- ive operations in railway construc- tion and the big drain on the labor element for the western harvests. Enquiry where hiring has been done CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION in Ottawa for outside lumber firms does not confirm this rumor. Mr. Philip Wright, a local agent, says he is sending away from forty to fifty men a day for the woods in the vicinity of Georgian Bay. The wages are from $26 to $32 a month or an average of $4 more than last year. As he sizes up the situation, activity in other industries does not attract the bushmen, for they pre- fer to continue the work they are accustomed to. The Turner Lum- ber Company, Carney Lumber Com- pany, and Spanish River Lumber Company have taken several crews of choppers, hookmen and team- sters already. As years go by the operations in the shanties are start- ed earlier in the season in order to devote the whole of the winter weather to hauling. J. R. Booth will not begin hiring for this season’s operations till September ist in order to escape the hot season in the bush. The Sheppard and Morse mill has had difficulty recently to get a sup- ply of logs owing to delays on the drives. It seems their logs are held back by other firm’s supplies. The water in the Ottawa is about as good as other years and no com- plaint is heard from manufacturers other than the one mentioned. The timber is out of the tributary streams with one or two exceptions. Owing to low water in the Nipissing, J. R. Booth left a considerable quantity of pine there and some logs are held up on Petawawa belonging to Mr. THE ONTARIO LUMBER C8 svncs sears Neh B Fre C yy R. Delivery Booth and the Hawkesbury Lumber Company The large lumber companies Operating limits in the Gatineau district have formed a company to conduct the drive on the Gatineau river which was tor many years in the hands of Samuel Bingham. The new organization has a capital of $20,000 and comprises Hon. W. C. Edwards, G. B. Greene, W. C. Hughson John A. Cameron and John Gilmour. The demand for spruce has had the effect of advancing the price a little and some higher figures are also offered for the best varieties of pine. The manufacturers report a growing activity in the shipping trade and local sales. Few of the mills are able to supply the demand for lath and no purchaser thinks of trying to break the high price that has been ruling all summer. The . Americans would buy a good deal more of the No. 1 brand of lath if they could get them. It is not probable, however, that the keen demand will increase the high figure of $4.50 that has been paid in several instances. Tenders are requested by the Department of Lands, Forests and Mines, Toronto, up to September - 5th for the right to cut pine and other timber on tie and timber berths in Rainy River and Nipissing districts, along proposed route of Grrls: Ek July 25) 1906 A TESTIMONIAL | The following letter speaks for — itself : OTTAWA, June 30, 1906.

Yours very truly, W. B. BarTRAM & Company SPRUCE. . ' The growing importance of spruce as a marketable commodity is being recognized. The Timberman, of Portland, Oregon, speaks of the spruce board trade as follows : ‘‘The recent action of the spruce manufacturers in creating a grade of spruce common is a proper and timely recognition of the value of the lower grades of spruce, which will have a tendency to widen its market and increase the profits of — the manufacturer. Spruce is well adapted for the manufacture of boards. The knots are generally sound. It is a strong, light, tough wood, nails easily and is liked by carpenters. It is the equal of any western pine board and as its qualities become known will prove a ready seller.

Heretofore the only outlet a spruce mill had tor practically 50 per cent. of its cut, if jt were not provided with a box factory or cutting-up plant, was to ship to the box factories in San Francisco, where the net retuins would often not equal the freight With the advent of the factory lumber, there is a constantly decreasing quantity of box lumber, which already has made itselt felt in a higher price.” HARDWOODs. The American Lumberman, speaking of American hardwoods, says: ‘© At this time of the year the demand invariably falls off some- what. In several instances this is the case at the present time, but in others a good business is being done. Regarding black walnut the demand for inch medinm and inch - culls remains firm, the former being worth from $72 to $72.50 a thous- and feet and the latter about $50. The demand for first quality wood is poor. ‘There is practically noth- ing doing in quartered oak. First quality inch boards are nominally worth $75 a thousand, but business is difficult even at this figure. Plain oak planks remain in strong de- mand, and 3 and 4 inch wood is selling at from $40 to $42.50 a thousand feet. Inquiry for board is light, agents finding it difficult to obtain shippers’ ideas of value. The market price for prime inch white oak is from $52.50 to $55, whereas “ shippers are asking $60.

Implement makers are taking fair stocks, the furniture men are receiving more orders and show a disposition to anticipate their requirements of the future. Finish makers are well supplied with orders and are running at ‘full capacity, so that consumption of hardwoods is in excess of last year. So far this month the demand is slightly less than for the same time in June, but the loss is not regarded as serious. Poplar is having a good sale and the market has a stronger undertone, with offer- ings not large. Oak of all kinds is regarded as good property, although red and white quartered is not sell- ing as fast as of late. Ash is in lighter supply. Of other woods the the supply and demand was fairly adjusted, and firmness prevailed in prices Cypress is selling to the local factories and finish makers, and tank builders are in the market constantly for stock.” ee ee A.

May & Company, of Vancouver, B.C., have purchased a shipload assortment of Japanese hardwood from Messrs. Awaya Shinazo & Company, of Osaka, Japan, whose Canadian office is at 41 Davis Chambers, Vancouver, and is known as Awaya, Ikeda & Company. The lumber, it is said, consists mostly of Japanese oak, ash and other hardwood, and is carried by the sellers’ own barque ‘* Alden Besse,” which is on the way now and expected to arrive in Vancouver early in August. This is the first venture both on the parts of buyer and seller to import Japanese hardwood into British Columbia, and if it proves satisfac- tory, it is said, they intend not on- ly to continue but increase the busi- ness. THE SHINGLE STRIKE. - A special despatch to the Van- couver Daily Province, a few days ago, spoke of the strike situation in the shingle mills on the Pacific coast as follows : ‘‘Shingle manufacturers are slowly re-opening the mills closed by the strike of weavers in sympathy with the Ballard strikers. The open shop rule is being enforced in most of the mills that have re- opened, and gains were shown to- day in several sections where mills had union crews but decided to stand in with the manufacturers’ mass-meeting in the demand for an open shop. ? It is probable that one of the largest mills of the state, which was tied up with a union crew prior to the mass-meeting on Sunday, will insist upon the introduction of the open shop principle. _If this is done the backbone of the union fight in Whatcom County will be broken. The enforced closedown of the mills on account of the strike has created a marked shortage in clears, and is keeping down the supply of stars. Wholesalers believe the strike has settled for the rest of the year the queston of any danger from overproduction, and that prices will remain firm during the year.” It is the opinion of an authority on Algoma matters that the timber cut in northern woods will this year far exceed that of any previous year in the timber industry in Ontario. It is beileved that preparations are being made which will mean at least one-third of an increase over any year in the past. J. M. Diver, Gen’l.-Mgr E. C. Barre, Ass’t Mer Holden, Pres.

The lumber trade throughout the province continues active, and stocks are moving rapidly; for the most part shipping is going on as fast as transportation facilities can be secured. The only classes in which there are quantities held over are such woods as elm, maple, birch. Prices remain firm. Many buyers have refrained from laying in heavy stocks hoping that there would be a drop in the market.» It is thought this action may tend to send prices up when buying starts. The demand for hemlock is good and prices are firm. Some quota- tions on this article are No. 1-16 toot, $15; 12 and 14 foot, $14.50; 2x4 10's, $15. Prices realized tor other woods have been quoted as follows: Spruce, $15; basswood, $20; birch from $18 to $23. Pine still continues in good demand and the prices are firm, with no tendency to be lower. Lath and shingles are marketable commodities, the former being in the lead. Prices for lath have been quoted at, from $4.25 to $4.50 for No. 1 and from $3.50 to $4 for No. 2. Itis claimed by some that the shingle trade in cedar would be more satisfactory if more of the best grade and less cedar butts were used for good buildings. WESTERN CANADA Generally speaking, the same conditions prevail in this part of Canada as elsewhere. There is great activity in all lines of industry and with the prospect of a bounteous harvest so close at hand indications point to a continuation of this. The building activity still continues and this of course means activity in the lumber industry. Stocks are report- ed to be moving actively, and only moderate amounts being kept on hand. The demand is good for all classes of lumber and prices remain . firm. The general yard sales prices average about $2.50 per M. above last year. The outlook is quite promising. Lath is in good demand also. EASTERN CANADA. The outlook is very promising for the lumber industry in this part of - the Dominion, and seldom if ever seemed better. For spruce there is good demand for all classes. Bass- wood and birch are also enquired after. There is considerable activity in the movement of stocks. Some large shipments have been made to South America and United States tor which satisfactory prices have been realized. $15.00 to $15,25 has been offered for English deals, which indicates a healthy condition in that market. Prices generally are keeping firm, with little or no prospect of going lower. If. CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION The trade in lath is quite brisk and shingles are also a fairly salable article. UNITED STATES. There is not much change in the market for building materials, but the demand is up to the normal for this season. Since yellow pine has recovered from its recent slump there is a better tone in the market. The supply of this article is not so large as it was a month ago, in consequence of the curtailment in the operations of manufacturing districts. With the fall demand in view, it is thought prices should become firmer. The white pine situation is more satisfactory than it has been for some time. Stocks are building up, as the rivers are in good driving state and the log sup- ply is coming in sufficient to keep the mills running. There is good prospect of a heavy fall trade. Prices are firm and likely to remain so and an advance might not be improbable. There has been a recent increase in the activity of the hemlock market. The demand from the country districts for this product is increasing. .The mills consider that in another month they will have a well assorted and dry stock on hand to meet the require- ments of the market, but it is not probable that the supply will be greater than the demand. There is no change in the shingle situation. Strike conditions still prevail. So far the scarcity of shingles does not seem to be caus- THE ONTARIO LUMBER C® suns wrists Pa, yre G. yy R.

Indications seem in favor of better prices in the near future, both for planed and unplaned stuff. Floorings are in very good demand and prices keep fairly firm. Spruce does not show much change.

WILL MAKE SPECIAL PRICES ON BROKEN LOTS AT OUTSIDE POINTS Fraser River Sawmills, Ltd., of New Westminster, who was in the city on Saturday, ‘‘Although mills are away behind on orders I see no reason why the price should go up. Neither do I see why the high price of lumber should have a deterrent effect on building as corresponding increases have been made in wages, logs, etc. Two or three hundred dollars more cost to a man is not going to stop his house from going up, but rather an additional cost makes it of greater value. Labor in the lumber industry just now, like other lines, in the west, is very scarce.” It might not be out of place to mention that. the people on the Fraser river are considering giving a banquet to Mr. David, for re- establishing the lumber foreign trade from New Westminster. While he is of the opinion that the higher price of lumber should not affect building operations, it is one of the causes of a shortage of dwellings in Vancouver. ‘‘People of small means have to consider every dollar of cost,” remarked a builder this morning, ‘‘and I know that many mechanics who intended erecting houses have put off the _work because of the increased cost. . It is more difficult to get the right amount of a loan on such buildings, as the inspectors with the former. price of lumber in their minds do not figure out how much the build- ing would be worth to reconstruct, but rather consider what it would oe HEMLOCK SPECIAL We are prepared to fill, on short notice, bills in Hemlock, in all lengths 10 to 24 feet.

I think that one of the reasons of the scarcity of houses in Vancouver is the high price’ of lumber.” Of the large amount of lumber — which has been shipped to foreign ports from Vancouver this season, the cargo of the barque Makawell for Japan indicates that that country is becoming a very large consumer — of British Columbia product. This — ship carried 1,100,000 feet which will be used to build. factories in — Japan. Fr A feature of the market in the © interior of the province is the de- mand for poles which are being — shipped to the States, principally to New Jersey and Lousiana. The McEwen Bros., of Seattle, who have control of the Sutton Lumber and Trading Company, which has just completed its big cedar mill on Clayoquot Sound, west coast of Vancouver Island, © have made arrangements to place the whole of its products in the hands of consumers in the eastern States. Shipment will be made via the Horn. An instance of the figures paid — for logs is that a boom was sold in — Vancouver last week for $11.50 per — thousand. While prices are quoted — as regular as high as $10, this bears out what was stated in the last letter that higher prices are being paid when the logs are badly wanted.

(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN) St. Joun, N.B., July 28th, 1906. —The water in the St. John River is very Jow and is falling day by day. It is feared that, unless some. heavy rains come in the near future, many logs will be hung in the main St. John from Grand Falls up, a_ locality which is under ordinary circumstances considered ‘safe water. This was the case last year when the greater part of the cut of the previous winter was caught and did not come forward until early this spring. For present needs and for a few weeks to come, supplies of logs are ample and, just at pre- sent, they are arriving at St. John in considerable quantities. The markets for N. B. spruce in Great Britain has, during the month, shown prospects of firmer values and the feeling among local people in this regard is consequently indicative of pronounced optimism.

These facts added to information received (the authenticity of which, considering its source cannot be doubted) which tells of light stocks and increasing demand throughout Great Britain, lead to the conclusion that the New Brunswick spruce trade has every promise of a period of more than ordinary stimulus. At the local mills, stocks of “English” deals are remarkably light, the goods having been taken almost as quickly as manufactured and in many cases considerable difficulty has been experienced in obtaining cargo with sufficient rapidity. No one manufacturer has more than a few hundred thousand feet and the total quantity would not exceed two millions of feet. At present the output is about normal but, with the season passing rapidly, the total result of the season’s manufacture will no doubt be con- siderably below the average, let the remainder of the season in this respect be ever so favourable. Ideas of local people vary some- what in regard to value of ‘‘English” according to the indi- vidual interpretation of the pros- pects, but an inquirer would no doubt be quoted from $13.75 to $14.25 per thousand superficial feet, on a specification of ‘‘English” deals, containing say 50% sevens and eights, 357 nines, and 157 elevens and up, f.o.b. steamer St. John, two-thirds price for fourths and ends.

In some trade centres, plain white oak leads, with plain red as a second. In northern woods there is less activity than those of the south. Inch maple is generally contracted for, as manu- factured. There is a slight surplus of thick stock. Owing to the im- mense quantity of buildings being erected the trade in flooring, of both oak and maple is large. The trade in mahogany and walnut con- tinues much the same, with a slight increase in mahogany consumption. In Chicago, the local hardwood trade is quiet, but prices are keep- ing firm. Prospects indicate that the fall trade from consumers will be large. In Boston, the demand is not great. The majority of yards are well stocked and many consum- ing manufacturers are carrying quite heavy stocks. Prices are tairly well held. The demand for plain oak, one inch, is not great. Maple flooring is fairly active. In New York there is a slight falling off in the market. This is due more to a curtailment in buying than in consumption, as manufact- urers stocked quite heavily early in the year and at present have suffic- ient for current need. Plain oak is reported slow. Quartered oak and maple are quiet and prices easy. On July 31st Holland & Graves, of Byng Inlet, Ont., purchased from the Sarnia Bay Lumber, Tim- ber and Salt Company five town- ships, each containing 36 square miles for $1,500,000. The town- ships are Hyman, Porter, Totten, Vernon and Berth No. 91, and they are located about 12 miles from Nairn Centre Station, on the Sault branch of Canadian Pacific. The limit is said to be the finest and most conveniently located block of virgin pine now standing on the north shore, and being located on the Spanish and Whitefish Rivers, the purchasers will have ample water facilities for floating logs down to the bay, there to be towed to their mills at Byng Inlet, near Parry Sound.

The consumption is large, and as stocks are by no means heavy, there is nothing to cause any uneasiness asto prices. A brisk fall trade at prices not far from those now ruling is what is most generally predicted. The lowc.r grades of white pine are getting scarce, the demand for box material being quite heavy. Finish- ing lumber is also moving actively. Enquiries for hemlock are quite numerous, and some difficulty has” been experienced in getting certain specifications. The average price at the mill is about $15 for short and medium lengths. Hardwoods show no pronounced tendency, but we would not be surprised if prices should advance before many weeks, as the large stocks which were held a year ago are being gradually re- duced. Elm and basswood are selling quite readily. EASTERN CANADA. A statement published in another column shows that the quantity of waney white pine which has reached Quebec this season is only 539,- ‘II CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION 240 cubic feet, or about half of that of the previous year and little more than one-third of the year 1904. The light production should keep prices firm and probably bring about an advance later in the year. The receipts of oak at Quebec have been much larger than in 1905, while elm also shows an increase of about 100,c0o cubic feet. There is a fair inguiry for spruce lumber, with a tendency towards higher prices. New Brunswick cedar shingles are still weak and sales have been made below $3.50 for Extras for Boston delivery. It is difficult to account for the weakness in New Brunswick cedars, as the demand for shingles generally is good. We antici- pate some recovery in the near future. UNITED STATES. Reports trom the United States tell of anirregular lumber market. The demand at Tonawanda is said to be quiet, with eastern retailers and consumers insisting on the shad- ing of prices. Conditions gener- ally are satisfactory, however, and the abundant yield of wheat, corn and cotton which is now promised is regarded as likely to result ina large consumption of lumber during the next twelve months. Hemlock and white pine are in a strong posi- tion statistically, as many Jarge manufacturing firms sold their out- put on season contracts. Con- sumers are buying hardwood lumber, which is being THE ONTARIO LUMBER 6°, LIMITED aesipe Moab B : 19 ra ot R. Delivery considerable . taken at’ the seller’s price to a greater extent than pine. This is due, no doubt, to the fact that hard- wood prices are relatively low. Shingle prices at Buffalo and Tona- wanda are firmer, with the demand good. GREAT BRITAIN. The lumber market of Great Brit- ain is showing unexpected activity and the outlook is more promising than for sometime. Sales of spruce have been made for c.i.f. delivery to Liverpool upon the basis of £8 5s. per standard, but we understand that shippers are now asking 48 tos. c.i.f. Dealers who deterred closing contracts in the hope of getting better terms have been dis- appointed and are now entering the market with some freedom. A gradual rise in prices is predicted, but much depends upon the ship- ments from Russia. If by any chance the shipments from Russia should be cut off, the pros- pects for Canadian lumber in Great Britain would be much im- proved. At a recent public sale some 3 x 9 inch second quality spruce deals from Montreal sold at 410 5s. per Standard, and a quantity of 1% x g inch fifth quality boards at £8 10s. A quantity of 3 x 9 inch unassorted red pine sold comparatively low at £8 I5s. Quebec birch logs at another sale brought from 1s. 734d. per cubic foot for 14 inch average to 2s. 41%4d for 22% inch, MANUFACTURERS WHITE PINE LUMBER, LATH AND SHINGLES.

Of the white pine lumber situa- tion the Mississippi Valley Lumber- man says: The first of August finds the white pine market strong upon the price basis which has prevailed for the past six months, with individual manufacturers issuing lists showing a tendency to ask more for their products. The fact of the situation is that the market is short with a trade steadily increasing in volume and persistent in its endeavor to secure lumber. The trade trom the cities and especially from special consumers at those points has been heavy and their operations have’ been on the increase till they have reached a maximum of production, HEMLOCK SPECIAL This has forced them into the lumber market to contract for northern pine at strong figures. The building movement in most of the large cities, while it has not been as heavy as it was a year ago, is still strong enough to tax the depleted stocks of northern pine. This and the factory trade is show- ing a degree of strength this late in the season which is very excep- tional. There is a steady increase in de- mand trom the country yards. The crop of the northwest is now assur- — : ed. In wheat a bumper crop is not expected, but there will be a yield above the average for the past five years. Other grains are coming forward in excellent condition and the danger point in most of them has been passed.. Country lumber dealers now realize the dearth of all kinds of lumber and are seeking stocks in anticipation of extreme shortages later in the season. They also find themselves surrounded with prosperous customers and are now laying plans to realize as much as possible from the situation. TIMBER LIMIT TRANSACTIONS.

LIMITED, MONTREAL, QUE August 8, 1906 THE OTTAWA VALLEY. (Correspondence of the CanaDA LUMBERMAN.) Orrawa, August 4th, 1906.—A better demand for basswood has been noticed in the Ottawa Valley © during the last fortnight. The in- crease in the number of inquiries for this kind of lumber is presumed to be due to the scarcity of the middle qualities of pine. Buyers from the United States are showing a keen anxiety to pick up lots of basswood at $23 a thousand feet. For interior finishing it is found that basswood is cheaper than any of the other kinds of lumber at present high prices, as very little of it is wasted. Lath shipments continue very active and lath is leaving the city just as fast as it can be sawed. Though it is usual to have a dullness in the lumber trade at this time of year, there has been no falling off in the volume of trade among Ottawa manufacturers ; in fact, some of the quotations have recently advanced. The Booth firm have a large quantity of logs ahead. The sur- plus is so great that Mr. Booth will - curtail shanty operations the coming winter. For some years the logs have been accumulating, the output from the forest each year being greater than the cutting capacity ot the mill and the store ahead in the river now is so large that a depart- ure has to be made from the usual plan of winter work. It is not the intention to withdraw altogether from any of the limits, but over most of them the number of camps may be reduced by about 25 per cent. Last year 2500 men were sent into the woods, but there will be fewer this season. It is probable that Mr. Booth will cut some pulp ° Oswego, N.Y. wood this winter on his new limit on the Montreal river.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION several new camps this year on the limit near the Cobalt silver deposits in order to clear that region of timber. Already they are hiring men in Ottawa. The Pembroke Lumber Company are taking away several shanty crews from the Capital to work in the new limit on the Jocko river acquired from Fraser & Company. Their other field of operation is Deep river. The Hawkesbury Lumber Company are sending men to Jocko river; Colonial Lumber Company to Kippwa; Shepard & Morse to Montreal river and the Edwards Company to Black river, Coulonge and the Gatineau. The latter company have just started hiring. Hurdman & Elmitt will carry on the usual operations in birch and basswood on the Gatineau and will open camps about the first of September. Agents who report- ed men plentiful enough a few weeks ago are beginning to meet with some difficulty in getting all they want since hiring became more active. The rate of wages,however, remains around $32 a month as a maximum. Lumbermen have more reason to complain about the cost of supplies for the shanties. They say it will require about fifty per cent. more outlay for previsions this year than last. For instance, pork which was bought for $16 a barrel will now cost $24. SALE OF UNMARKED LOGS.

All along the coast to the north of Vancouver where there is unstaked timber, numerous cruisers from Puget Sound are at work. They repre- sent American capital, which is seeking timber in this province. The Americans are not alone in the search for timber, for all the well- known - British Columbia cruisers are out in the woods. Cruisers are not to be found in Vancouver to- day. Outside capitalists, who have been in the city for the past week looking for timber investments, have been offering as high as $15 per day on two-month contracts for good cruisers,- but none can be obtained. Some of the Canadian cruisers are working on their own hook, staking limits and then sell- ing them. They state that they are able to make more money in that manner than by working for wages, no matter how high are the sums that are offered: Nancouver Prov- ince. TIMBER AT QUEBEC.

Cushing, of the firm of Cushing Bros., of Edmonton © and Calgary, who is in Vancouver, — gave an interesting interview to your correspondent. Cushing Bros. have a large sash and door factory at Calgary and retail lumber yards in that city and Edmonton also, “Lumber is a pretty scarce article just now,” Mr. Cushing remarked, when asked the object of his visit to the coast, ‘‘and it is to see what I can do personally toward getting a sufficient supply for our operations — that I have come to Vancouver. I — expect to be here for several weeks. I cannot just say about prices, and — although they are rather high, I am sure millmen do not raise them un- less it is absolutely necessary. With — such a strong demand for the out-— put, and indications that it will continue for some time, I do not see that there will be much decrease.” Cushing Bros. recently purchased the output of J. B. Winlaw’s millin the Slocan. ‘‘We are now.negotiat- — ing for the pnrchase of the entire plant and timber areas,” Mr. Cush- ing said further. ‘I cannot say that we will buy any other proper- ties in British Columbia, though we are in the field todo so should good opportunity offer.” Fe Fine summer weather for the last two months has resulted in large numbers of logs being taken out of — the woods, but they have no effect ~ Stock sizes now ready.

The mills want all the logs they can get, and all that are cut are none too many. Prices are still very firm as high as $10, with even a little better when occasion demands. With some of the mills operating at nights the visible supply is soon exhausted. No changes are reported in lum- q ber and shingle prices. The markets are good, both domestic and foreign. A feature of the export this week was the shipment to Nome of 800,000 feet of ties and lumber trom the mills of the Victoria Lumber and Manufacturing Company at Che- ma‘nusand the Fraser River Saw- Gener- ally, these purchases are made from the mills on Puget Sound. Bush fires are beginning to start up in different parts of the province, though no very extensive damage is reported as yet. In this connection, the Great Northern Railway is being sued for damages by the Union Bank, the Cedar Valley lmprove- ment Company, the Fernie Lumber and the Elk Lumber Company, allof Fernie. The plain- tiffs allege that a spark from an engine of the railway company set fire to limits, which were badly 7 damaged. Big American companies have cruisers on Vancouver Island and it is believed that they have inside in- formation regarding the policy of the C. P. R.

He says the refuse will be utilized for the manufacture ot wood fibreware, like to that turned out at Hull, Que. WESTERN LUMBER CONDITIONS, The Mountain Lumber Manu- facturers Association, at a meeting at Nelson, B.C., on August 8th, decided to raise the price of common lumber one dollar per thousand. There will be a slight advance also on a few other lines. It is claimed that the conditions warranted a greater advance but the Jumbermen did not wish to take advantage of the situation arising in the North- West over good crops. One mill to-day reported orders for 360 car- loads of lumber, with little stock. Added to the troubles of the coast lumber manufacturers, owing to the scarcity of cars wherein to ship their manufactured product East, is an increasing scarcity of towage capacity to bring logs down to the mills. 7 Lumber is in very good demand at Dauphin, Man. Most of the material used is cut locally, and consists chiefly of spruce, with some poplar, coming from the Riding Mountains.

The lumber market is little changed from last week, but low grade stocks are gradually becoming .stronger. Some manufacturers have advanced their hemlock from fifty cents to one dollar, and it is claimed that the relation of supply to de- mand warrants a still further in- crease. In the Ottawa Valley, and in fact in all parts of the province, hemlock is being used in large quantities for building purposes. For 1 x 8 and 10 inch, 10 to 14 feet in length, the mills are getting $15. This is the same price as is asked _ for 1 x ro inch mill culls, for which there is also a brisk demand. Some attention will shortly be given to making contracts for next year, and in this connection the rumor is heard that the Ottawa manufac- turers will ask another ten per cent. advance. Buyers now have no hesitation in taking stock at the prices now prevailing. The large consumption of lath has prevented any break in prices, mill quotations still being $4.25 to $4.50 for 1%4 inch No. 1 white pine and $3.50 to $3.75 for No. 1 hem- lock. Shingles are steady and the white variety firmer in sympathy with the advance in red cedars. EASTERN CANADA, Although the demand for spruce - lumber is not particularly strong, as might be expected at this season of the year, there is a firmness to the market which promises to result in higher prices at an early date. British importers are now willing to purchase on more liberal terms, and this, coupled with the demand from the United States, is giving manu- facturers more confidence. Clap- boards, which have been dull for a long time, are now in better inquiry. | New Brunswick cedar shingles are somewhat stronger. It is difficult to contract with the larger manu- facturers below $3.50 for Extras for Boston delivery, while some sales of Clears have recently been made as high as $3.10. WESTERN CANADA. The lumber business of Western Canada is in a flourishing condition. Notwithstanding that prices are about $2 per thousand higher than a year ago, there-is no disposition to make any concessions, as it is difficult for the manufacturers to keep pace with the demand. Al- though the mills are working to the fullest capacity, stocks do no grow and are exceptionally small. This at a season of the year when busi- nessis generally quiet, points to almost a lumber famine after the crops are harvested and the fall trade sets in. UNITED STATES. The past week has witnessed an increase in the lumber demand in most sections of the United States and the inquiries now being received indicate greater activity in the near future. The abundant crops would, seem to assure a large consumption of lumber. Although Buffalo and Tonawanda have received a larger quantity of lumber than usual, the stocks carried at these points are not heavy. In the Saginaw Valley white pine stocks are much broken in the commen grades. Common is quoted at wholesale at $27 to $32 for 1x4 to1x12. Merchantable hem- lock boards are selling at $20 whole- sale, short dimension stuff at $17, and 16-foot lengths at $18. Above these lengths there is an advance of $1 on every two feet. The red cedar shingle market is firm, with a fair demand. Large quantities of lath are being produced but the demand is readily absorbing the supply. No. 1 white pine are quoted at $5 at the mill and No. 2 at $4.50. GREAT BRITAIN. The buying of lumber in Great Britain is proceeding in a quiet manner. While the business shows some improvement over the spring tnonths, buyers are still operating conservatively and evidently do not expect more than a slight advance in prices. Spruce continues to show exceptional strength. Battens are ty | CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION August 22, 1906 much wanted in England and prices of these have risen considerably, while the present stocks are 60 per cent. lower than in 1905. Sidings are slightly weaker. The large supply of birch has been against any improvement in the price. STOCKS AND PRICES. Holland & Graves, of Byng Inlet, Ont., have contracted to stock the mill of Chew Bros.,at Midland, Ont., for the year 1907. They expect to put nine camps into the woods and will operate the new limit purchased from the Sarnia Bay Lumber, Tim- ber & Salt Company. Boston prices of spruce lath are $3.50 for 1%-inch and $3.65 to $3.75 for 15%-inch in carload lots. Up to August 1st the Tonawandas received 189,000,000 feet of lumber, against 177,000,000 feet for the corresponding period of 1905. The lumber shipments from Lake Superior up to August 1st of this year amounted to 429,285,000 feet, as compared with 424,985,000 feet in 1905 and 343,916,000 feet in 1904. NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER. (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN) St. Joun, N.B., Aug. 13th, 1906. — The manufacturing end of the lumber industry has settled down to the usual steady production. Logs are coming along in a way that pre- vents any inconvenience from that scource and all the mills are running at full capacity. The greater part THE ONTARIO LU Mi BER C9 sare Mitts: North Ba’ Got y: rie €.7 PB. Delivery of the cut is from ‘‘Provincial” stock, the proportion of ‘‘American” goods (non-dutiable) being smaller than usual. In view of this fact, the time lost through the late starting of the mills, and also because of the recent strike, the output of ‘‘Amer- ican” deals at this port during the season of 1906 will in all probability be much smaller than for many seasons past. Shipments have so far been light, no important quantity is now on the way, and not more than a few hundred thousands of feet is available at present writing. Trade in N.B. spruce for export to the United States has, during the last week or two, shown but little snap. In spite of this there is little indication that the prevalent values will not be sustained and, when it is considered that values have borne up during the greater part of the hot season, it is natural to suppose that, with the heavier demand which is certain to begin with the advent of cooler weather, firmer prices will materialize. Local dealers and manufacturers seem to have every confidence that this view of the ‘‘American” spruce trade is the correct one and appar- ently are in no haste to put their goods upon the market, preferring rather to wait, on the strength of the conviction that a higher schedule of prices will soon go into effect. An inquirer for ‘‘American” spruce deals would be quoted as follows, f.o.b schooner St. John: 10x 3 and 12 x 3, $19.00 to $19.50 per M.

The output of hemlock and pine at this port has this year been so light as to be unimportant so far as export is concerned; local wood- working factories have so far taken care of everything in these lines. Since last mentioned, freight rates to the westward by sailers have weakened considerably. At present charters are being made at the following figures: New York City, on deals, $3.00 per thousand; New York, on lath, 60 cents ; Bos- ton, on boards, etc., $2.75 per thousand. TIMBER LIMIT TRANSACTIONS. It is reported that the Crowe Lumber Company, of South Mait- land, N. S., have sold their plant and timber limits to Frank C. Rice and L. L. Ashley, of the Rice & Lockwood Lumber Company, of Springfield, Mass. The timber limits compiise 15,000 acres of choice spruce. The Arrowhead Lumber Com- pany, of Arrowhead, B. C., are an- nounced to have sold their timber limits and mills to American cap- italists, at a price said to be some- what in excess of $500,000. The property consists of 82 square miles of splendid pine territory in the Arrowhead country and a saw mill with a capacity of 110,000 feet per day. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company have sold all of their timber lands on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, to the Fraser River Sawmill Company, Limited, of which Lester David is the head. The price is given as $10 an acre, which means that the purchase amounted to about $3,000,000. This land was granted to James Dunsmir, the coal mine owner, now Lieutenant-Governor of the prov- ince, as a land grant by the Govern- ment for building his short line of railway from the coal lands to Victoria, and’was subsquently sold with the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway to the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. “> THE GLASGOW MARKET.

LIMITED, MONTREAL, QUE » Specialty: Dimension Timber in DOUGLAS FIR, PINE, HEMLOCK, SPRUCE, Wy a a) : August 22, 1906 prices have on the whole been well maintained, it is only because of the strong position abroad, and reduced - stocks held here. An unsatisfactory feature has been the dullness of high grade white pine, and although the import has been in no sense excessive, quite a number of shipments failed to find buyers. Birch logs still continue to arrive in excess of the demand, and con- , sequently prices are much lower than they were earlier inthejseason. The position of the market as a whole is, that, assuming an active demand sets in, prices would in most instances advance sharply, owing to the low stock held here, but at the same time present ap- pearances unfortunately do not point to any immediate improve- ment in this direction. _ Waite Pinr.—The import during the month consisted of 936 loads, per ‘‘Atbara,” the bulk of which was delivered in fulfilment of con- tract purchases. Owing to the holi- days there has been rather less en- quiry in the market. The stock is moderate and values are steady. Oax.—The July import is 862 loads, also per ‘‘Atbara,” the initial arrival of the season, it may be mentioned. A good inquiry exists, and as the stock of first class wood on hand is very small, arrivals com- ing to hand should meet with a ready outlet.

It has, however, come to a very bare market, and the first class rock timber is meeting with a fair inquiry. QuesBec Bircu.—The July import amounts to 1350 logs as compared with 550 logs tor the corresponding month last year. Too much birch has been coming forward recently, and the consequent pressure to make sales has had the inevitable result of lowering prices consider- ably. The stock of logs unsold is by no means inconsiderable, in view of buyers being well supplied, -so that there is no incouragement to make further shipments into the market at present. Several nice lots of birch planks have come to hand in July, and been disposed of at £10 15s to 411 per standard c. i. f. AsH.—Theimporthas been trifling, and the few odd lots coming to hand found buyers in every instance at fair prices. DEALs, &c.—Business has been very quiet, consequent on the event of the annual holidays, and unfor- tunately, as is usual, the import assumed particularly heavy dimen- sions when there was a minimum demand, with the result that the stock in store has been consider- ably augmented.

BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER. (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) Vancouver, B. C., August 2oth, 1906.—The story circulated in the east that the market of Pacific coast lumber was weaker is hardly borne out by the facts. ‘‘It is stronger if anything,” was the reply of Mr. R. H. H. Alexander, secretary of the B.C. Lumber and Shingle Manufac- turers Association, when asked about the matter. ‘‘Mills are still filled up with orders and it does not appear that there will be any apparent diminution in the near future. Mr. G. P. Gibson, a director in the Pacific Coast Lumber Company, said he could not see how such a rumor could have originated. “Why,” he said, ‘‘our company is so far behind in orders that we are going to hold a meeting of the directors to see if something cannot be done for those who have been waiting for lumber for a long time. It really is getting serious. We have been receiving a large part of the local trade this season, which has been another factor in loading us down with more than we can carry. Other mills are in much the same condition. The representative of the Saskatchewan Lumber Com- pany, who is in the city, cannot find a mill to take his order, unless it is with the condition that it is to be Planing and Matching —IN TRANSIT—— S.

COMPANY, HAMILTON filled when possible. It was because mail orders were no use that Mr. W. H. Cushing came to Vancouver, as told in our last letter. The further fact that the Moun- tain Lumber Manufacturers, Asso- ciation, at its meeting two weeks ago, raised the price $1 per thou- sand is an indication to the contrary that requires no amplification. This advance was made after consider- able hesitation, and not until after _the matter had been fully considered. Consumers in the Territories, as may be imagined, do not look with favor on this increase, and in Cal- gary it is regarded as a means to “cinch” the people. The situation is set forch in the statement of a Kootenay mill man who is at pre- sent in Vancouver. ‘‘Only three years ago,” he said, ‘‘the product of B. C. mills could not be disposed of at prices below the cost of pro- duction, owing to the flooding of the Territories with bankrupt stocks of American mills, which were dumped anywhere a price could be obtained. That experience of buy- ing lumber below cost of production at the mills put false notions into the heads of settlers, and now that a reasonable figure is being charged they are loud with tales of woe and that the mill men are bent on rob- bery. But none of these settlers will take one penny less for his grain or horses or cattle than the market will justify. We are only the same kind of people. This is the first for several years that a profit is being made on lumber, and with the great improvement in conditions, it idee not look as if our product will be the drug on the market it has been during the last decade.’ All countries are beginning to look to British Columbia for timber Mills: Branch Offices : Manchester, Eng. itl. supply. Last week it was a repre- sentative from the yellow pine dis trict who came north to get fir, and now Mr. G. Spaltcholz, of Dresden, Germany, head of a firm which supplies lumber for building, is opening up business connections with mills here. He has been buy- ing for many years in different parts of the United States. Mr. R. Wolfenden, King’s print- er at Victoria, has received a communication from the stationery office of the Government at Ottawa to the effect that one of the largest manufacturers of lead pencils in the United States is asking for infor- mation concerning B.

A canvass of the white pine field reveals no indications of weakness in that lumber. The upper end more nearly approaches that con- dition than anything else, but it would be giving a false impression to say that it is weak. Only in comparison with the lower grades can any degree of dissatisfaction be expressed. Taking white pine asa whole, the market is strong and nquiries numerous. A considerable quantity of stock has passed into the hands of large dealers who are evidently believers in still higher prices. Inquiries which are con- stantly being made show a decided scarcity of certain grades, and un- less present indications should prove very misleading, there will be an active and strong market for white pine for some time to come. Among the hardwoods, basswood is steadily gaining ground. While the supply is still plentiful, the time is approaching when the demand will overtake it, and then we may expect an advance in prices. Birch is also moving in some volume at unchanged quotations, with a satis- factory outlook. UNITED STATES. The last week in August was characterized by considerable ac- tivity in lumber circles, and this is regarded as the beginning of a very active fall trade. Some of the eastern markets are reported to be running short of certain classes of white pine, particularly the common grades, while an improvement has taken place in the demand for south- ern pine and spruce. The Brooks & Scanlon Lumber Company, operat- ing in Minnesota, have sold 5,000,- ooo feet of white pine lumber for 1907 delivery at an advance of $1 a thousand over the prices that pre- vailed last spring, and it is pre- dicted that other contracts will shortly be closed ata still greater advance. The feeling in the hard- wood trade is very hopeful. So great has been the demand for bass- wood that, for the first time in two years, stocks are getting scarce. There is also a more active move- ment of maple and birch, while elm is showing some dullness. No. 1 white pine lath has sold during the past week at $4.75 f.o.b.° Minneapolis, whereas previous sales were at $5. This weakness is re- garded as temporary, although lath is no doubt selling for all it is worth. GREAT BRITAIN. Our review of the British lumber market this week must be similar to what has been said in recent issues, for there has been practic- ally no change in the situation. The market is firm, with the volume of business a little less than in previ- ous years. Some Quebec pine deals are being stored, the demand being rather tardy. While stocks are low at present, they will probably increase unless the consumption becomes heavier. Spruce continues to lead in point of strength. Sales are {being made at £8 2s. 6d. per standard c.i.f. Liverpool for cargoes containing 60 to 70 per cent. of 3x7 and 8 inch, and second quality Que- bec spruce, 3 x 9 inch, was sold last week at auction at £10 3s. per standard; 3x11 inch third quality white pine bringing £13 5s. Birch planks are weak in price owing to heavy stocks, but prices are not likely to go much lower, while an improvement inthe demand might easily bring about a sharp advance. STOCKS AND PRICES. The steamer ‘‘Concordia” is load- ing a cargo of deals at Chatham, N. B., for Glasgow. A raft containing about 4,000,000 feet of logs from the Spanish river arrived at Owen Sound last week for the Carney Lumber Company. Prices of cooperage stock at Buf- falo rule at $9.50 for first-class elm staves; 6 to6% cents for best bass- wood staves, and $9.50 to $10 for six-foot coiled hoops. Herman Noss & Sons, of York, Pa., are having about 2 million feet of pine cut at W. W. Carter’s mill i. CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION at Fesserton, Ont. They own a limit in Gibson Township, on the Muskoka river. The Elder-Dempster Company are now loading the steamer Nyanza at Matane and Rimouski, Que., for Buenos Ayres, South America. She will take 2,600,000 feet of lumber, one of the largest lumber cargoes that has ever left the St. Lawrence. NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER. (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN) St. Joun, N. B., August 3oth, 1906. —The activity in lumber man- ufacturing circles of this section continues. Shipments have also been considerable in volumn and local stocks of the most important lines are consequently on the light side. In short lumber particularly, the smallness of present stocks is a prominent feature. Cedar shingles of the higher grades are scarce, some shipments by schooner during the week having practically clean- ed up all available, and an entire month must elapse before any im- portant quantity is ready for ship- ment. Since last mentioned, shingle values have continued uniform un- der heavy receipts and at present writing are at least holding their own. Itis confidently expected by local interested people that the be- ginning ot fall building operations in the Eastern States will meana higher schedule of prices in this line, but while the tendency toward THE ONTARIO LUMBER C8 snes oh a Marte Tey, PR ere rok 7.

At this date non-dutiable shingles could not be bought, f.o.b. St. John, less than: Extra, $2.90; oe $2.40; 2nd Clears, $1.90 ; » $1.15, sees! authorities are of the opin- ion that spruce lath for export to the United States will be consider- ably firmer during the autumn than has been the case during -the sum- mer months, although no such boom as took place last fall is anti- cipated. So far prices are practi- cally uniform with those last quot- ed, although a firmer tendency is quite apparent. Conditions seem to be ripe for the advent of higher prices ; lath are remarkably scarce at this port—the total stocks at the local mills would scarcely aggregate a fair-sized schooner’s cargo—and advices trom Maine ports tell of no surpluses that would prove a_ vital feature. The demand at the chief building centres of the Eastern States promises to be particularly strong during the remainder of the season and sales are made rapidly and readily at the prices at present prevalent. Shipments of lath from this port during. the summer months have been considerable in quantity and it is apparent that, for the remainder of the building season, owing tothe MANUFACTURERS WHITE PINE LUMBER, LATH _ AND SHINGLES. ous 74. ¥ailaing 1 ORONTO, Ont.

Members of the British Columbia ‘Lumber and Shingle Manufacturers’ Association and the British Columbia Loggers’ Association recently met in conference with Mr. Andrew Haslam, provincial supervisor of log scalers, and drafted a schedule of grading for logs. The following schedule was agreed upon as Satis- factory to all interests : Flooring—Logs suitable for floor- ing and deck plank, reasonably straight, not less than twenty feet long nor less than thirty inches in diameter, clean and free from visible defects of such a character as would impair value for clear lumber.

Of the large producers some are still peremptorily demanding $23 for frames, g-inch and under, and refuse to accept less. There are others, however, and they are in the majority, who regard $22.50 as the outside for any buta really hard order, and who from a good customer would accept a bid of _ $22 for an ordinary frame. We _ have not, however, heard of any _furtherSbusiness this week at $21.- _ 50. The sellers who are quoting _ top figures affect to ignore that _ business is being done for less, but _ they are not, of course, taken seriously. About the immediate _ future there is still a great difference -_ of opinion. Some authorities are _ predicting an advance before the middle of next month, while others are equally sure ofadecline. There is no real change to note in the ran- dom situation. Sellers are often urgent, purchasers generally in- _ different,and it is difficult,therefore, to keep prices on an cven keel. Nevertheless, we heard of a close buyer who, after a thorough can- _ vass of the market this week, decid- ed that $18 was the inside price - for small sizes. No one speaks of the demand for spruce boards as of more than fair ‘proportions, and a little concession from the figures quoted below _ would fail to surprise, but they are, so to speak, the regular rates. For northern hemlock clipped boards a _ seller who has obtained $20 thinks he has done very well. There is beginning to be more in- quiry for shingles and the mills are taking a firmer view of prices. Al- ready $3.50 is sometimes quoted _. for nice brands of extras, and ‘it _ looks as though sales might result. WHITE PINE AND SPRUCE LUMBER . ROSSED PULP WOOD St. Gabriel Lumber Co.

At the moment the tendency is no doubt upwards. There is much more stir, too, in the market for laths, and although prices are not as yet quotably changed, the tone is, no doubt, firmer. For nice 1% inch laths, $3.50 is about the best a buyer can do. The seller’s tendency would be to add to rather than detract from this figure. In New York the range for 1 3/8 inch is $3.85 to $4.15. There is nothing new to be said about either the demand tor or the prices of clapboards. If a buyer is in need he has to look about a little before he can find any. If, on the otber hand, a mill has some to sell, itis not always easy to dis- cover a customer. HARDWOOD CONDITIONS. The following report on market conditions was ,submitted at the recent meeting of the Michigan Hardwood Manufacturers’ Associa- tion : Your acting secretary sent blanks to all manufacturers of hard- wood in Michigan requesting them to report the amount of stock on hand and unfilled orders July 1, 1906. Fifty-nine manufacturers reported and among these most of the larger manufacturers, although ten or twelve of the largest manu- facturers did not report their stock. From such deductions as we have made from a compilation of the stocks reported we think it probable that fifty of the largest manufactur- ers produce in the neighborhood of 90 per cent. of the hardwoods cut in Michigan.

COMPANY, HAMILTON fifty-nine reporting, or a little less than 50 per cent. of those reporting, have 92% percent. of the stock reported. The woods on which we have reports are maple, beech, birch, elm and basswood. This report shows _ the the above woods in feet only and does not show sizes or grades. From such information as this committee is able to secure, it ap- pears that there is considerably less hardwood lumber in the hands of manufacturers than there was at this time last year, and that the demand is sufficient to consume all of it at fully as good prices and in some instances at much _ better prices than have prevailed during the present year. Thick maple is in much better demand and stocks much lighter than at any time during the past two years, and probably will be scarce before next winter’s cnt is in condition to market. The amount of beech lumber in stock is very well covered by orders and there seems to, be no_ surplus. Beech has been used very largely as a substitute wood, the purpose generally being to secure something cheaper than had been used before and from its use in this way many consuming manufacturers have come to know that beech is a valu- able wood for many purposes. We expect to see the use of beech in- crease both because of its merits and because for some time at least it will be the cheapest of hardwoods. Either of these reasons should be sufficient to help the price of beech. The stocks of birch are no doubt much lighter than they were at the beginning of the year, owing to a very much increased demand, due likely to concessions in prices. Mills: Branch Offices : amount of. Manchester, Eng. Ill. Fee eee Basswood has remained practical- ly unchanged during the past year, the supply about equalling the de- mand. We can learn of no accumu- lation in stocks, neither does there seem to be any marked decrease in stocks. Elm has not maintained the posi- tion taken by it early in the year, as there has been some decline in prices anda slight increase in stock due probably to the use of substitute woods. It is the opinion of this committee that the general conditions and out- look for Michigan hardwoods, taken as a whole, are probably better than at any time in their history. . Holden, Pres. A. F. J.

There are other factors, however, which are contributing towards firmness, The drives have come down very slowly and many logs have been hung up. Manufacturers are finding them- selves unable to carry out their con- tracts in respect to the delivery of lumber at the specitied time and buyers have in some instances Leen compelled to purchase elsewhere in order to meet the wants of their customers. Then low water in the Ottawa river has forced a tempor- ary shut-down of some of the mills. Under these conditions the tendency of prices is naturally upward. The most urgent demand pertains to the lower grades of pine. Inch mill culls and sidings are held at $15 at the mills, and mill run at $22. -Ten-inch box and common is worth $21 to $22. Hemlock has advanced about 50 cents and predictions are made that it will go still higher ; 1 x 10 and 12 inch, 12 to 16 feet in length, is held at $16 at the mill, while 2x4, 6 and 8 inch ranges from $15 to $17, the latter for 16 foot lengths. Manufacturers of hard- woods are showing more confidence and some at least are holding for higher prices. The average price is about $18 for mill run birch, $20 for soft elm and basswood, and $17 for maple and beech. EASTERN: CANADA. The quantity of waney white pine timber measured at Quebec up to September 5th of this year was only 602,720 cubic feet, compared with 1,076,000 cubic feet in the corre- sponding period last year, and 1,738,880 cubic feet in 1904. This large falling off would seem to indi- cate that the demand for waney pine in Great Britain is yearly grow- ing less. Prices have been main- tained fairly well, however, and’the light production this season will probably result in an advance in the near future. Square white pine also shows a decreased production, while the quantity of oak and elm which has reached Quebec this year is considerably larger than last year. The market for spruce deals and boards is firm. The high cost of labor and supplies will probably restrict logging operations the com- ing winter. New Brunswick cedar shingles are holding steady around $3.50 for Extras for Boston delivery, although there are still light offer- ings as low as $3.40. WESTERN CANADA. Indications point to the most active demand for lumber that Western Canada has ever experienced. Buy- ing in anticipation of the Fall trade is now in progress and the number of urgent orders received by the mills is evidence that retailers are carrying light stocks. A shortage in the supply seems likely to develop, as the bulk of lumber ordered will be wanted during the next two or three months. Higher prices are the rule. Edmonton dealers recently put into effect a new list covering spruce, pine, poplar, tamarac and rough cedar, which have been ad- vanced from $1 to $2 per thousand. There has been no further advance in shingles, but the demand is good and prices firm. UNITED STATES. There is a good demand for lumber throughout the United States and the situation from a price standpoint is strong. The past week, however, has witnessed both advances and declines of small proportions and governed almost entirely by local conditions. Buffalo and Tonawanda dealers are asking higher prices for low grade pine, which they consider has been selling too low in comparison with saw- mill prices. Prices of pine in New York have advanced from 50 cents to $2 a thousand. On the other hand, low grade boards at Minne- apolis are off about 50 cents, which is said to be due to certain box manufacturers offering to place orders for large blocks in considera- tion of this slight concession. The market there is strong on piece stuff and general building lumber. i. CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION September 12, 1906. . The substitution of hemlock for white pine has further strength- ened the position of the former. Hemlock boards at Boston are quoted at $21 to $22 for 12, 14 and 16 feet lengths. Hardwoods are moderately active, with maple strong and birch selling in consider- able volume at unchanged quota- tions. Basswood is steadily im- proving, but elm continues quiet. GREAT BRITAIN. While the British market is steady, there is an entire lack ot buoyancy, and it appears that some difficulty is being experienced in sustaining prices. First quality pine deals are not moving as freely as the lower grades, the relatively high price apparently restricting consumption. The best quality deals are held at £33 to 435 per standard of 1980 feet, while thirds can be purchased for £12. Spruce deals continue firm and stocks are light. STOCKS AND PRICES. AWisconsin paper manufacturer is reported to have contracted for 12,- 000,000 feet of hemlock logs at $9, the delivery to be at the rate of 3,- 000,000 feet for four years. The highest price paid last winter was $8 delivered at the track. Some sales of No. 1 white pine lath are being made below $5 and it is believed that the substitution of cheaper lath is at last having its effect. No. 1 Norway and mixed are held from $4.50 to $4.75, and THE ONTARIO LUMBER Css sa North Bay. P.J.. src G.T.R. Delivery No. 1 hemlock and No. 2 white pine at $4.25 to $4.50. There will be shipped from Port Grenvlle, N. S., this season about five million feet of spruce; of this two million to the English market and the balance to the American market. In addition to this about 40,000 pieces of spruce piling will be shipped to New York. The lumber and piling will be shipped principally by the following: Fox River Lumber Company, H.Elder- kin Company, T.K. Bentley, Gesner Kerr, and William Slater. LUMBER HIGHER AT EDMONTON.

(Correspondence of the Canapa LUMBERMAN.) Orrawa, SEPT. 7, 1906.—The Ottawa river has kept on sinking until now nearly all the lumbermen :- ) are inconvenienced by the low water. Every industry depending on -Chaudiere water power is in a simi- \ P lar plight and some steam auxiliary ; plants have been called into com- mission. The drop in the river level interferes with lumber manu- - facture more than any other because extra men have to be employed in getting logs out of the stream. The _ output of the Booth mill went down somewhat on account of the unfav- orable condition of the river. It has been difficult to get labor to operate under ordinary conditions and the situation has become more aggravated with the low water. Part of Booth’s mill has stopped night operations. for the want of help. The records taken by the Upper Ottawa Improvement Com- pany show that the water level at _ Quyon is ten inches farther down than its lowest point last year. The unprecedented drought of July fol- ahead to their destination. - Booth, lowed by a dry August has had a serious effect on the streams. During the last month logs have been accumulating at many points because they cannot be floated Ja Re the Hawkesbury Lumber Company, and R. & T.

The Hawkesbury Lumber Company was So seriously affected in this way that its mill was closed for three days this week, resuming opera- tions September 6th. The efficiency of the Upper Ottawa Improvement Company is to be increased for next year’s oper- ations by the construction of a new steam tug which will operate be- tween Des Joachims and Allumette island. The steamer will be built in Pembroke. There is nota great activity in shipping pine these days. The United States buyers are giving small orders and it is not necessary to keep up the heavy shipments to the old country. Manufacturers are not uneasy because the business, even it has relaxed a little, is keep- ing up with other years. The wholesalers are now in the busiest season. From them it is learned that spruce has gone very strong and the tendency is toward higher prices. None of the other line have shown such activity in the last while. W. B. Bartram & Company, the big birch firm, is sold right up. The season has been a phenomenal one in this trade and the price has recently made an ad- vance of $2 a thousand. For the choice quality the demand is so keen that unprecedented prices can be obtained. Bartram & Company are building a camp onthe Rouge river to carry on extensive opera- tions in taking out birch the coming winter.. The firm are handling 10,- 000,000 feet this year and the out- look is that a greater demand will prevail in 1907.

Upte August 31st the Building Inspector of Winni- peg had issued 2,484 permits, re- presenting a value of $9,500,000. The figures at same date last year were $8,851,000. The building operations in Mont- real show an increase over the whole of last year.

The value of building permits issued in Toronto up to the end of August of this year was $8,660,525, as against $7,068,779 in the same period last year. THE BARBADOS MARKET. Under date of August 25th, Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Com- pany say of the Barbados market : The only arrivals for the fortnight have been the‘‘Success”, from Gaspe, with 58,000 ft. spruce and 1,094,000 shingles, and ‘‘Maggie Belle” from Gold River, with 100,000 ft. spruce and 14,000 ft. white pine. The spruce ex former vessel, which was a mixture of second quality and inferior, brought $16.70, while the ‘“‘Maggie Belle’s” cargo, of which g0,000 ft. was second quality, was sold at $24.26 and $19.10. respect- ively, for merchantable and second quality. In white pine the little lot by this vessel brought $28 and $22 Hi. respectively. We also learn of a cargo having been contracted for at $27.25 and $22. These sales, how- ever, have affected the market very little, and next arrivals of both white pine and spruce should bring very full rates.

ONTARIO. Complaints regarding the lumber trade come from two _ sources, from shippers who have been un- able to secure cars to move their lumber, and from dealers and con- sumers who have permitted their stocks to run low and are waiting for a break in prices in order to replenish. The car shortage has affected the entire trade seriously, the quantity of lumber held up on this account being very great. The second complaint is an indication of the strength of the market. Buyers who hoped to be able to purchase at lower prices during the midsum- mer period were disappointed, and at present indications are. more in the direction of an advance than a decline. Pine sidings and strips have recently advanced in the Ottawa Valley, and box boards are stiffening under the stimulus of a good demand and probable short- age. A gentleman who recently. returned from a visit to several northern mills reports that stocks will be no more than sufficient to supply the demand until the 1907 cut is ready for the market, while in certain grades there may be a shortage. Hemlock and hardwoods are going into consumption quite Jargely with no tendency towards weakness. For the higher grades of birch and basswood there is an improved demand. EASTERN CANADA. The tone of the spruce market is steadily improving. The low water in the St. John river is now giving lumbermen much concern, as_ it promises to tie up a considerable quantity ef logs which were expect- ed-to reach the mills this year. Happening at a time when the de- mand for lumber is increasing, and the British: market in particular showing more activity, the result is almost certain to be a shortage in the supply and consequent higher prices. We do not expect a sharp If. advance but rather a gradual hard- ening of values, the extent of which will depend largely upon the offer- ings. If the large mill owners stand t @ ther they can no doubt put “--s higher. ~Cedar shingles are irm at $3.50 tor Extras for Boston dlivery, and lath are inclined to advance. The New England de- mand has been exceptionally heavy, with standard 15% inch slab lath quoted at $3.65 to $3.80 and 12 inch at $3,50 to $3.60. UNITED STATES. Lumbermen look upon the har- vest of 1906 with a great deal of satisfaction. The quantity of wheat that has been harvested is the largest on record, and if the corn crop is not damaged by early frosts, it, too, promises to be an abundant yield. The crop of these two cere- als should form the foundation ofa large demand for lumber and enable manufacturers to dispose ot} all they can produce at good prices. White pine is generally reported strong, although sales are not as numerous as might be expected. There is a tendency to withhold orders in the hope that concessions may be ob- tained later in the season, but the realization of this expectation seems unlikely. Some sales are reported for delivery next year at prices in advance of quotations earlier this season. The position of spruce lumber has improved steadily of late, and most of the larger mills now have orders which will con- sume their product for several weeks, The Weller eer Se ea CANADA LUMBERMAN Hemlock is firm. Prices have ad- vanced considerably during the year, and, as with pine, there is a dispo- sition to withhold orders until the eleventh hour. The hardwoods are showing considerable activity, and especially factory lumber. Birch and basswood are selling quite largely, with indications of a con- tinuance of a good demand well in- to the winter season. GREAT BRITIAN. Canadian lumber seems to be gradually getting into a stronger position in the British market. The figures of imports indicate a more healthy condition of trade than has existed for some time past. The stock of pine deals at Liverpool is about 26,000,000 feet, compared with 20,000,000 feet one year ago. There is also a decrease in the sup- ply of spruce deals, Quebec waney white pine, red pine and oak planks, _ the principal exception being birch logs and planks, which have been im- ported too freely-and are now held in considerable quantities. Quebec pine deals are showing an upward tendency, due largely to an increase in freight rates of five shillings since the opening of the season. The high price of good pine is _ restrict- ing the consumption to some ex- tent, but for certain purposes there is no substitute and the demand seems likely to take care of all the lumber that will be shipped from this side. There was almost a ces- sation of receipts during the month of August. Spruce in the lower Timber and Lumber Dealers A SPECIALTY IN Long Timbers, both Pine, Soft Wood and Hardwood WEEKLY EDITION qualities, suitable for packing-case and kindred purposes, continues in active demand, with every prospect of higher prices in the near future, as for some time to come the supply is likely to be light THE OTTAWA VALLEY. (Correspoudence of the CanaDa LUMBBRMAN.) Ottawa, Sept. 17, 1906. — A prominent lumber merchant reports that he has 100 orders ahead, most of them trom the United States. There is activity in all branches of the lumber trade. The keen de- mand for pine has sent the prices up several notches in the last fort- night. Shipping cull sidings, strips. and shorts are having a great call and dealers are astonished some- times at what the buyers are willing to pay; the scarcity of these sorts, however, makes high quotations. It looks, too, as if there would be no decline. The lumbermen who are preparing for shanty operations in the pine forests are obliged to pay enormous wages and corres- pondingly high prices for food supplies. The wage problem reach- ed the serious stage of a strike on Saturday in the James McLaren Company’s mills at Buckmgham, when 400 men quit work and asked for an increase in wages. Owing to the absence ot the proprietors in British Columbia the mill had to close down and will probably re- main shut the rest of the season. Numerous sales of shipping cull strips are being made at $20 a Sills Co., Limited i a BELLEVILLE, ONT. HEMLOCK SPECIAL We are prepared to fill, on short notice, bills in _September 19, 1906 © thousand and sidings from 7 inck up at $25. Indeed, some manufac- turers are selling theirs out so easily that they are not anxious for new orders. aa: The active market in spruce and birch reported a while ago-is main- tained.

The growth of pulp and paper manufacture in Ottawa also tends to swell the vol- ne of timber coming down the wa. There is much timber ng up along the streams. The B. Eddy Company are so seri- ly affected in this way that about thirds of their last winter’s cut not reach the mill this year. It s lying along the Ottawa, Gatineau Rouge rivers. _ The disposition of saw-dust is a live question at the Chaudiere. The iplaints that have been made ainst Mr. J. R. Booth for empty- ing this refuse in the river has made it necessary for the Minister of Marine to inspect Mr. Booth’s mill h a view to learning if he has ken all the possible precaution to vent a saw-dust nuisance. The nber king is prepared to have the inspection any time. He believes the complete system of saw-dust Carriers running from every part of the mill to an incenerator is all that ould be desired. Mr. Booth says that the greatest quantity of saw- dust that could escape from his mill would not justify the complaints that have been made. As the mat- ter stands, the city of Ottawa is in danger of losing the Booth indus- tries entirely on account of too stringent regulations. It is Mr. Booth’s desire not to let any saw-dust get away, for he mK co y for the conveyance of saw-dust m his mill to the paper factory. . paper factory will go into ration in October and Mr. Fred thestimates that the output of TE PINE AND SPAUCE LUMBER -- ROSSED PULP WJOD St. Gabriel Lumber Co. eo Limited St. Gab iel De Brandon, Que, Mills on Joliette Branch C.P.

The daily consumption of coal would probably be 40 tons a day, so that by the substitution of saw- dust the manufacturer savesa_ con- siderable sum. When the mill is in full blast the tactory fire will not consume all the saw-dust and a means has been provided for stor- ing up the surplus. A large quan- tity of the retuse from the mill is too coarse for the paper factory and will have to be destroyed elsewhere. ~ However, the time is not far off when it is believed every atom of waste matter and especially the saw-dust will be utilized for fuel. NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER. (Correspondence of the Canapa Lumps ERMAN) St. Joun, N.B., Sept. rrth, 1906. —The Autumn season opens in this section with every prospect of being the busiest of the present year in lumber manufacturing circles. It is probable (although by no means a certainty) that sufficient spruce and cedar logs will come forward ta keep the mills in cut until well into December. The element of uncertainty arises from the fact that, after the phenomenally dry summer, the rivers are remarkably | low and a continuation of the drouth must have far-reaching conse- quences before many weeks have passed. Already several millions of feet— the chief part of which is spruce and owned by local people—are hung in the main St. John in the vicinity of Grand Falls. The most conspicuous character- istic of the situation just now is the prosperous condition of the New Brunswick spruce trade in Great At Burk’s Falls { Planing and Matching — IN TRANSIT— S.

COMPANY, HAMILTON Britain. The volume of business in that direction, according to recent information, is very heavy and the demand is of such nature that all offerings have been readily taken care of with no apparent tendency to weaken values. Shipments ef “English” deals from this port will no doubt be fairly heavy during the remainder of the present month. On October 15th the winter deck- load regulation comes into force and any steamer clearing after that date “may take not more than a six-foot deckload. To offset this, a higher schedule of freight rates is put into effect; hence the eagerness of ship- pers to get away as much as pos- sible before that date. The indications are that after October 15th the shipments of deals from this port to the United Kingdom will be more than ordin- arily light and that the same con- ditions will continue throughout the balance of the year. Stocks in this line at the local wharves are fairly light (4,500,000 feet would cover the quantity), and when sailings which are now booked have been completed, it appears that this port will not be an important factor so far as ‘‘English” deals are con- cerned, during the balance of the season. Local people'who have ‘‘English”’ deals to sell are decidedly optimistic in regard to the future in this line, and their ideas in regard to price- are somewhat higher than was the case a month ago. An enquirer for spruce deals for export to Great Britain would be quoted on a specification containing Say 50 per cent. 7’s and 8’s, 35 per cent. 9’s and 15 per cent. 11’s and up, $14.25 to $14.75 per thousand superficial feet, two-thirds price for Hl, fourths and ends, free on board Steamer St. John. 2x3, 3x4, 3x5 and 3x6 spruce scantling could be bought at from $11.25 to $11.50 per thousand superficial feet. ee , Mr. Fred J.

The local consumption of lumber is heavy, yards are busy and stocks are running low. Finishing material is wanted in considerable quantities and as a rule the seller can get his price. Retail trade is good. Whole- sale business is less active on ac- count of buyers in the Eastern States holding off in the hope of being able to induce some concessions. They argue that there is always the possi- bility of unfavorable developments which would cause. the market to recede, while there is reasonable certainty that advances from the present level of prices will be along very conservative lines. The situa- tion in respect to white pine, how- ever, is daily growing stronger. About five million feet of manufac- tured stock was burned at Aylmera few days ago, and several of the Ottawa Valley mills are closed down as aresult of low water. Mills in the Georgian Bay district are short of logs, and altogether it appears that the season’s cut will be less than last year, while the consump- tion has been much heavier. The lumber exports to the United States for the first seven months of this year were 517,000,000 feet, com- pared with 355,000,000 feet for the corresponding period in 1905 and 259,000,000 feet in 1904. The lath market is getting a little ~ more active at unchanged quota- tions. No. 1 white pine are selling wholesale in Toronto at $4.75 and No. 2 at $4.25. Shingles are re- ported to be getting scarce, and there is no difficulty in maintaining present prices of white pine and B.C. cedar. WESTERN CANADA. The building strike in Winnipeg has been the only unfavorable devel- opment since our last review of the western lumber trade, but just as we are going to press we learn that a settlement has been reached and work resumed. The consumption of lumber continues large. The mills have plenty of orders and prices are fairly remunerative, al- though logs are still very high. For first quality fir logs as high as $12 has been paid on the coast, and the supply is still inadequate. The demand for shingles is equally as good as for lumber. There is as yet no accumulation, and it will not be long until the production will be curtailed by some of the mills clos- ing down. UNITED STATES. The movement of white pine lumber is not as heavy as some had expected, but considering the conditions, it may be considered satisfactory. Holders are making no concession to buyers, as there do2s not seem to be any prospect of lower prices in the near future. At Buffalo and Tonawanda the question of advancing all grades of white pine from No. 2 barn down has been discussed, as the list is now too low in comparison with the mill prices. The demand is still running largely to the common grades, which are quite buoyant, while the upper grades are a little sluggish. Buying for the winter requirements will soon be a factor and predictions are made that the lower grades of white pine will sell at higher prices before the close of the year. The yellow pine market is steadily recovering from its late weakness, while hardwoods are showing considerable strength. At the annual meeting of the Wiscon- sin Hardwood Lumbermen’s Asso- ciation last week, 34 members reported stock on hand amounting to approximately 96,000,000 feet, while on April 1st 37 members re- ported a total stock on hand of 230,000,000 feet. This remarkable increase shows that the consump- Il. ie ae oF a eee ye hae: ome ae we Le, 6 ee ve CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION tion of hardwoods during the summer season has been very large. GREAT BRITAIN. Importers are now showing more disposition to contract for spruce lumber even at the additional price which must now be paid to cover the heavier freight charges. As stocks are light both in England Canada, the natural course of events will doubtless bring about a higher range of values. The Bilooke on the whole is somewhat encouraging for shippers, as the market will be almost bare of stock before next spring. A remarkable advance has occurred in the price of staves, and at the present time there is much speculation as to what the future will bring forth. One year ago the price of staves was £4 per stand- ard, while the present price is 46 10s. and quotations as high as 47 are being made. A more “moderate advance has taken place in the price of slating battens. STOCKS AND PRICES. Cedar ties are worth 32 to 37 cents in the Saginaw Valley. The City Council of Winnipeg have accepted the tender of D. E. Sprague for the supply of from 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 feet of lumber. The Sawyer-Massey Company, Hamilton, are making another im- portant addition to their works. The lumber is being supplied by the Long Lumber Company, Hamilton. The Weller Sills Co., Limited ———— Theodor Telier, contracting en- gineer and architect, has placed an order with the Long Lumber Com- pany, Hamilton, for 100,000 feet of hardwood flooring.

Other mills have also contracts, including that of the B. C. Tie Company, of which Mr. D. H. Hays, brother of Mr. C. M. Hays, is manager. A recent arrival from the north says the coast is flooded with Americans and their representatives who are looking for timber. The shores of Portland canal and the Queen Charlotte islands are being carefully cruised for good timber. On the latter,-D. Drysdale, of Seattle, is to erect a mill of 150,000 feet daily capacity.

Many modern mills have been installed in that territory during the past ten years, from which the out- put is as good as the best, and this class of mills is as a rule standing for full prices, while the smaller poorly equipped mills both in the Provinces and Northern Maine have been turning out a class of random that has been supplying much of the demand during the past three months. This class of mills is fast sawing its last log and even to-day scores of plants belong- ing to this class have ceased sawing for the season and are now out of the market. The fact I would like to impress upon every lumberman in the East isthat by conservative handling and by keeping mill pro- duct sold and shipped, the market has regained its equilibrium, and yet it would be little short of com- mercial suicide for manufacturers to attempt from now on to hold any of their product in an effort to scure prospective higher prices. The market will be strong at $23.00 and $25.00 within the next ten days, and unless something unforeseen happens to check demand, the market will be established at $24.00 before fleecy white snow spreads over this Eastern territory. Happily there has been no accumulation of stock at mill points during the past four months, and as the yards at consuming points have reduced their stocks heavily, actual con- sumption should force free buying during the balance of the year.

The following telegram has been received from the Vancouver office of the CANADA LUMBERMAN : VaNcouvER, B. C.. October 1, 1906. CANADA LUMBERMAN, Tcronto. “Fir and Common Cedar products ad- vanced one dollar throughout on Satur- day.” Geo. A. GALL. CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS ONTARIO. The buyer of lumber continues to increase in volume. Retail dealers in Toronto ht&ve all the business they can handle and the planing mills are working to full capa- city to meet the demand. Certain grades of white pine are getting scarce, and in many cases itis a question of where the material can be obtained rather than the price or grade. Hemlock is in the same position. The advance which was made in the early spring has been fal A qa Sie ee ay Serine s any SA. maintained throughout the season, and atthe present time sales are being made at the highest prices which have yet been reached. The fear of a shortage this winter is causing some uneasiness among those whose stocks are light. The Ottawa Valley production has been curtailed by low water, and even if the rivers should rise sufficiently to warrant the starting of the mills, there would probably be difficulty in securing the crews, as many of the men have gone to the woods. The situation in hardwoods is also strong, with the volume of demand fairly large. Basswood is showing considerable improvement. EASTERN CANADA. Building lumber is very active in Montreal and stocks are getting exceptionally light. The common and lower grades have been going into consumption in large quantities this season, and there has been an unusually brisk demand for box material. Dealers are finding some difficulty in securing sufficient stock to meet the demand, and while prices are high, there is no prospect of any recession in the near future. Export shipments have been light, as the quantity manufactured for the British market was curtailed on account of the excellent. American demand. The production of spruce on the St. John river will be about 25 per cent. below the average on account of the scarcity of water to float the logs. This has further strengthened the spruce situation. Renewed activity has appeared in spruce lath, and as the supply is light, predictions are made of high- er prices this month. The call for shingles is confined largely to Extras and Clears, the lower grades being rather quiet. UNITED STATES. Lumber prices show no weakness whatever. The demand from all sources is moderately good, with indications of a more active move- ment later on. Inthe Lake Erie district the lower grades are show- ing considerable buoyancy, as has been the case practically all season. So long as the present prosperity of the country continues, there is not likely to be much decline in white pine, the production of which can- not be increased owing to the com- paratively small supply of standing timbe:. Spruce is, if anything, a II. little firmer, the majority of dealers asking $23 for g-inch dimension and under at Boston, and $25 for 10 and 12-inch dimension. The movement of hemlockis large and prices are in good shape. Hard- woods are experiencing a very Satis- factory demand and again it is re- ported that there is a scarcity in the supply of maple. Birch is being bought in large quantities, but the supply if so great that it will be some time before manufacturers will be able to secure much higher prices. White pine lath seem destined to advance even from present prices, as the Fall inquiry has developed +a shortage. No. 1 white pine are quoted in Chicago at $5, No. 1 nor- way at $4.75, and No. 2 white pine and No. 1 hemlock at $4.50. GREAT BRITAIN. The British lumber market is firm to strong. Notwithstanding that whitewood has been substituted for Canadian pine wherever possible, it has not prevented a further slight advance in the price of the latter, which is rather unusual at this sea- son of the year. Importers are com- mencing to realize that stocks for the winter and early spring trade will be exceptionally light, and al- ready it is predicted that the open- ing prices next year will be higher than those now ruling. Of course, many things may transpire in the meantime to change the natural trend of the market, but as the sit- uation now sizes up, higher prices will result. Spruce is going direct into consumption on arrival and there is reason to look for a material advance in thenear future. Some fitth quality Quebec spruce was re- cently sold at auction at £8 per standard of 1980 feet, which is con- The Weller Sills Co., Limited es ry CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION sidered a very satisfactory price. Birch is still weak, while waney pine timber is firm and likely to bring higher prices for next year’s delivery. STOCKS AND PRICES. The Crown Lumber Company, of Woodstock, Ont., are in the market for half a million feet of white oak plank, 2%-in. thick, firsts and seconds; also half million oak rim strips cut to order. W.J.Pulling & Company, Wind- sor, Ont., are reported to have secured the contract to supply all the lumber required for the con- struction of the tunnel of the Michi- gan Central Railway under the Detroit river. The quantity will be several million feet. It is estimated that 50,000,000 feet of logs will be taken out this winter by the Prince Albert Lumber Company, Sturgeon Lake Lumber Company and William Cowan, of Prince Albert, Sask. This compares with 30,000,000 feet taken out om year. Operations in the Lake-of-the Woods district promise to be very activethis winter. The Rat Portage Lumber Company will increase their cut and have a thousand men in the woods. The Rainy River Lumber Co. will put in nine camps and take out probably 60,000,000 feet of logs. The Preston-Bell Company, which has been newly organized, will operate largely in both logs and ties, while the Backus-Brooks Company, who have acquired the Keewatin Lumber Company’s busi- ness, will have several large camps. W.A. Preston, Porter Elliott, H. H. Wood and L. Christie will take out considerable quantities of ties. BELLEVILLE, ONT.

(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN) St. Joun, N.B. , September 27th, 1906.—The log eging season is fairly started and camp crews are leaving daily for the woods. Men are par- ticularly scarce this year and wages are consequently from ten to fifteen per cent. higher than was the case last year. Like last season, the logging season of 1905-06 will be marked by a curtailment that will place the total volume of the cut some twenty or twenty-five per cent. lower than the average. This condition of affairs is due to the fact that most of the largest manufacturers have quantities of logs scattered along the St. John river which will not reach the rafting works at Frederic- ton this fall on account of the scarcity of water. Estimates have placed this quantity at from eighteen to twenty millions of feet. A feature of the trade at present writing is the continued activity in spruce lath. With supplies lower than nominal at both the shipping end and the receiving end, the de- mand seems to be increasing in volume. At this port and in the vicinity, ‘scarce’ would not be too strong a word to use in speaking of the supply of lath, and no quantity that could be called important is now on the way. The situation in this line seems to have every indica- tion that values will be higher dur- ing October than has been the case during the present month. Local prices have already stiffened some- what and an inquirer would be quoted on lath, for immediate de- livery, $2.50 to $2.60 per thousand for dutiable and $2.75 to $2.85 per thousand for non-dutiable, f. o. b.

WOOD-WORKING FACTORY BURNED. The wood-working factory of Silliker & Company, of Amherst, N.S., has been destroyed by fire, to- gether with their offices, warehouse and a large quantity of valuable lumber. This factory was one of the largest and best equipped of its kind in the Maritime Provinces, em- ploying in all about seventy-five men. The total loss is estimated at $75,000, while the insurance amount- ed to only $23,300. ae Sr Address CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. ONTARIO. The destruction by fire of between twenty-five and thirty million feet of Ottawa valley lumber has furthered strengthened the market and given the seller a still greater advantage. There is no prospect of lower prices for pine or hemlock this year, as the demand is absorbing the supply and preventing any accum- ulation. The largest blocks are in the hands of dealers who are firm believers in present prices and who practically control the situation. Mill culls at $15 at the mill may seem high, but until there is a fall- ing off in the consumption there will be no decline. Hardwoods are holding their own, but nothing more favorable can be said. Stock seems to be found in unexpected quarters and until it is worked off a further advance in prices need hardly be expected. The lath market is firm and more active. There is nota great deal offering and all grades are in good demand. White pine and cedar shingles are rather dull, but in some quarters an advance is predicted owing to the higher prices now ruling for British Columbia red cedars. EASTERN CANADA. The light production of waney white pine is being reflected in the shipments from Quebec, which up to the present time are little more than one-half of last year. Prices are firm but have not advanced as much as was predicted, although it is expected that buyers of the coming winter’s production will have to pay an advance. Spruce lath have advanced from 25 to 50 cents during the past month and are now quoted at $4.00 to $4.25 for 154-inch and $3.75 to $4.00 for 1¥%-inch, Boston delivery. New Brunswick cedar shingles still keep around $3.50 for Extras on Boston freight rate, with $3.60 as the top figure. WESTERN CANADA. Recent developments in British Columbia are not in favor of lower prices for lumber. The situation is controlled by the timber supply and at the present time logs are difficult to get at any price and no quota- tions can be given until the market is steadier. The production of lum- ber is being curtailed by the log II. shortage, and as most of the mills are behind with orders, the recent advance which was made by the Coast and Mountain manufacturers was unavoidable. In Washington the price of logs was advanced $1 to $2 on October Ist, an increase of $1 being made on No. 2 logs up to 4o feet long, $1.50 on merchantable logs and $2 on flooring logs. These increases make the price $8.50 for No. 2 logs, $11 for merchantable logs up to 40 feet long, and $14 tor flooring logs. UNITED STATES. Shortage of rolling stock is about the only complaint that is heard from the lumber trade. The con- ditions are good, and while there is not as much snap to the white pine business as might be expected, the volume is sufficient to prevent an undue accumulation ot stock. It is probable that the mills will go into winter quarters with as much lumber as last year, but there is reason to expect a larger consump- tion. In the Duluth district 12 inch No. 1 boards are said to be selling at some concession, but everything else on the list is firm and there is a shortage of box material. There have lately been larger receipts of spruce in short lengths, but the demand has been sufficient to take care of the supply. For g-inch and under $23 is the general price asked at Boston. All hardwoods are having a good sale, with ash and maple showing - to good advantage. The demand for hardwoods is increasing as the sea- son advances, and there is reason to believe that prices will continue firm throuzh the entire winter. GREAT BRITAIN. Athough the British market is still lagging behind, conditions are gradually improving, and it is The Weller Sills Co., Limited _o ee ET Tt CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION generally predicted that prices will be higher next year. Importers apparently still fear consignment cargoes, induced by the higher range of values which has been established. The shipments from Canada, however, for the balance of the season will certainly be light and there is no reason to expect that prices will be affected thereby. The demand at home and in the United States is so good that there is no incentive to ship to Great Britain. Prices for all grades of pine have advanced owing to high freight rates and the approach of the close of navigation. Baltic prices are firmer, and as the failure of these to advance earlier in the season operated against Canadian lumber, the way is clear for further recovery. Floorings which sold earlier in the year at £9 and £11 per standard for mixed white and first red are now quoted at £10 and 412 respectively. Quebec birch has recently shown some signs of recovery. LUMBER IMPORTS AND EXPORTS. During the first eight months of this year the United States imported unmanufactured timber to the value of $14,596,387, as against $14, 304,- 759 during the corresponding period of 1905. The quantity of lumber imported from Canada shows an increase of nearly 5o per cent. The figures are as follows: 1905. 1906.

The demand for hardwood lumber is some better this week, and the trade extends to about everything on the list. Prices are strong in proportion to the scarcity of stcck, through there is only one really week spot. The birch trade is not satisfactory. mand is fairly large, but the abun- dance of stock in the hands of manu- facturers and jobbers keeps the price situation in an unsettled state. Birch is being used in constantly increasing quantity, but manufac- ture has been more than keeping pace with the demand, hence the weakness. Oak is selling well to the factory trade. In fact, the fac- tory trade is picking up, indicating that the supplies laid in during the early summer are getting low, and this demand is extending to bass- wood, elm, ash and. some of. the other woods. A very good appear- ing quartered oak is now _ being made of soft elm by the furnture factories, and it is deceiving some of the experts. The country trade is taking a fair anonnt of oak timbers and other yard stock. Red oak is scarce and white oak still more so, and, as usual, these items are the strongest on the market.—Missis- sippt Valley Lumberman. THE BARBADOS MARKET. Lumber conditions in the Bar- bados market are reported by S. P. Musson, Son & Company as fol- lows: ‘“‘The arrivals during’ the fort- night consist of the schooner Arthur H. Whyte from LaHave, N.

We sold the white pine ex. former vessel at $30.27 and $23.37 for merchantable and second — quality, and for the spruce we ob- — tained $26.89 and $20.66 for mer-— chantable and second quality re-— spectively. The white pine ex. lat- ter vessel we placed at $30.56 for merchantable and $24.08 for second quality. These prices may be said to be record ones, as we do not re- member their being obtained at an previous time, and although we if not expect they will be maintained | for any length of time, yet we have ; no doubt that a few more cargoes would do extremely well owing to — the bare condition of our market. We hear that a sale of spruce to’ arrive was made yesterday at $22 for a cargo consisting of 4-inch wide — and up lumber, and any arrivals of — spruce will meet with a good market. The cargo of shingles which is expected from Gaspe, Que. has not yet arrived, and while the market for both Long and Lay- ing Cedar is fairly supplied, yet we think that remunerative prices will — be obtained for any shingles which ~ may be coming this way.” Ask Your Ticket Agent for tickets via the WISCONSIN GEATRAL RAMA Minneapolis, se.

October 10, 1906 _ THE COOPERAGE STOCK MARKET. The Sutherland-Innes Company, Chatham, Ont., report as follows: No. 1 staves are showing an up- ward tendency, on account of the % ‘small stocks on hand at the mills. Mill run staves are very unsettled; there are still considerable of these on hand at the mills, and some of the manufacturers are very anxious _ to sell them so as nof to run any ‘ f ‘chance of having to carry them over _ jnto another year; the consequence js that the price of Mill Run staves « 7 varies according to the ideas of the different manufacturers; and while good mill run elm or mixed timber staves which are jointed strictly 9/16 in. bilge are in fairly good de- . mand, the prices are still very close to the cost of production. - Considerable quantities of these staves have been turned down by the consumers and dealers on ac- count of the joints, a great many of'the manufacturers through some error having joined their staves 7 in. instead of 9/16 in. bilge, as re- _quired by the apple trade this year. This has been caused, to some extent, by the uncertainty of the apple trade, and the manufacturers jointing their staves with the idea that they would do either for the apply trade or for other purposes. _° The apple barrel coopers this year, * * Gi - a - : wa i 5 ae “a =) however, are most particular as to the bilge, and will not take anything over 9/i6 in. bilge, while there is quite a little demand for even ¥ in. ‘bilge to work up the higher bilge staves carried from last season or accumulated during the present run. No. 2 staves are fairly steady, and there is quite an improvement in prices, more especially No. 2 28%" staves, which were for a con- siderable time a drug on the market.

There does not seem to be much variation, and the manufac- turers who have the reputation of turning out an exceptionally good hoop are getting a little better price than they were a month ago, but there is practically no change in the price of hoops, excepting the keg lengths, which are sagging off considerably on account of the lack of demand. Heading is improving consider- ably in price and as there are no very large stocks of heading on hand in the Wisconsin district, we look for prices to be maintained or increased in all sizes of heading. To sum up the situation, both in slack and tight barrel stock, the market is in a better condition than it has been for some time; the tight barrel department is quite satis- factory to the manufacturers, but slack barrel prices are not yet on a remunerative basis, considering the heavy investments and the small production of the season.

Fraser & Company’s lumber yard at Deschenes, Que., was swept hy fire October 3rd, when about 26,- 000,000 feet of lumber, valued at up- wards of $450,000, was burned. The fire broke out at 7.20 a.m., just after the employees had begun work for the day. When the com- pany’s firemen arrived several piles of lumber were ablaze and the fire was beyond control. The lumber consisted chiefly of pine and cedar of this year’s cut, which had been sold and was awaiting shipment. The purchasers of the lumber in- Wil cluded the Shepard & Morse Lum- ber Company, W. C. Edwards & Company, McArthur Export Com- pany, Watson & Todd, and one or two American firms. TIMBER AT QUEBEC.

The past week has witnessed an advance in some of the lower grades of white pine lumber. Shipping culls and better, for instance, have been marked up in the Ottawa Valley list to $21 to $23 for 8-inch and $23 to $25 for 10-inch, and box boards to $19. The market is getting remarkably bare of these grades and the seller is able to get almost any price he chooses to ask. The Sarnia list is higher nearly all round, although the greatest ad- vance is confined to the poorer grades, of which No. 1 mill culls at $17 to $18 and No. 2 at $15 are examples. The trade are looking for no weakening unless unexpected developments of a very unfavorable character should arise. The scarcity of white pine is helping spruce and hemlock, and to a lesser extent the hardwoods, and we would not be surprised to see higher prices all along the line before many weeks. There is a revival of activity in lath, as might be expected at this season of the year. Buyers are plentiful, and in Toronto the retail price of No. 1 white pine is now about $5.50. The supply is. decidedly short. EASTERN CANADA. The spruce situation is practically .unchanged, although some addi- tional strength has been shown dur- ing the past fortnight owing to more inquiry for British specifications. Prices in the Eastern States are al- so showing a tendency to advance and the situation as a whole is favorable to the holder of lumber. Considerable interest is shown in the lath market, which has developed activity and strength. As stocks are light, prices are likely to ad- vance further. New Brunswick cedar shingles are firm at $3.50 to $3.60 for Extras, Boston delivery. WESTERN CANADA. The lumber demand of the West shows no abatement. Finishing material is now being called for in large quantities and the planing mills are exceptionally busy. Prices are firm, with an advancing tend- ency. The British Columbia mills are carrying very light stocks in their yards and the burning of the ssw mill and shingle plant of E. H. Heaps & Company, of Vancouver, will further curtail. the production, which for some time has been be- low the consumption. Logging operations are active, but prices are still high and there seems no likeli- hood of an increase inthe available supply of logs in the near future. The demand for shingles is not as strong as for lumber, but there is no accummulation and the market is steady. UNITED STATES. The car shortage is greatly re- stricting the movement of lumber in the United States, and in some dis- tricts the mills have been obliged to close on this account. Consumption is all that could be desired and deal- ers are kept’ busy supplying the wants of their customers. The lower grades of white pine have advanced from $1 to $2 at Buffalo, while some dealers are also asking increased prices for the upper grades. The stock of white pine in the Lake Superior district is believed to be less than at the close of the season at any time within the past decade. Hardwoods are showing considerable activity. The demand for birch and basswood is excellent, but as the supply of the former is large, there has been no change in price. Basswood, the stock of which is not heavy, has strengthened. There is a scarcity of all kinds of lath. In Boston spruce lath ranges from $4.25 to $4.50, while in Chi- cago, where the white pine. variety is used, the price is $5.00 to $5.50 for No. 1. It. THE OTTAWA VALLEY. (Corre pondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) Ortrawa, October 11, 1906.—The destruction of large quantities of lumber by fire near Ottawa has created a temporary panic in the market but it will not prove serious nor iast long. Fraser & Company, the heaviest Tose., give the opinion that although the fires were unusu- ally destructive, the quantity of lumber removed from the market is too small to aff.ct prices. This firm has not been able to figure its loss definitely, but Mr. W. H. A. Fraser states that the yard visited by fire contained 25,000,000 feet of red and white pine. About 15 per cent. of this was saved. The lumber was worth about $20 a thousand. The value of the lumber consumed would be $425,000. A large quantity of it was sold and in possession of the W. C. Edwards Company, Shepard & Morse, Laidlaw & Company, and others. The Frasers carried $313,000 insurance on what they held and the other companies had - $200,000 insurance, so that the lumbermen stand to lose little. A revised estimate of the value of the lumber of the Robert Hurdman Estate destroyed by fire is $80,000. There was 3,500,000 feet of red and white pine and 150,000 feet of spruce. This lumber was in R. & T. Ritchie’s yard at Aylmer and was cut by them, but this firm had no material loss of lumber. The Hurd- man Company had practically allits sawn lumber destroyed and the fire has caused some inconvenience The Weller Sills Co., Limited | =—_—_——————————EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION where sales were made.’ Otherwise the firm is not affected. The Robert Hurdman Estate has enough logs ahead for next summer’s mill opera- tions and will not make any logs in the shanty this year. Fraser & Company have shanties going on Deep and Black rivers, taking out pine. The operations will be much curtailed compared with last year. A representative of the firm states that excessive cost of shanty work is responsible for the falling off in activity. Hurdman & Elmitt report brisk work in taking out hardwood timber on Gatineau limits, but like other manufacturers they say cost of labor and supplies is an immense burden. The keen demand for lumber con- tinues. The large number of in- quiries for pine shipping culls has led to an advance in prices of a dollar a thousand. Large sales of pine box boards have been the most important feature of the market recently. Exporters are unanimous in reports of a brisk trade in this line of lumber. The mills have turned out an unusual quantity of box boards and found a_ ready market for it all. The buyers come from both the United States and Ontario. No decline is noticeable in the de- mand for lath and dealers anticipate an increase in present quotations rather than a drop. During the season, when the best pine varieties sold at $4.50 a thousand, no person Jaid in a supply, so that the ordinary BELLEVILLE, ONT.

Buy- ers from the United States and the west of Canada are giving big orders for No. 1 white pine, while large sales are being made locally of No. 2 white pine at $3.50 and $3.75 a thousand. The depressing effect of low water continues to hamper opera- tions in most of the Ottawa Valley mills. J. R. Booth is affected very much and his pulp mill has been practically thrown idle. Fortunate- ly, the 5,00 or 6,000 tons of pulp he has ahead will feed the new paper mill which is about ready to start. NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER. (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERM:N.) St. Joun, N.B., Oct. 11th, 1906. _—The attention of the local lumber people is occupied just now to a very great extent with the making of arrangements for getting logs during the coming winter. Most of the important operations are now -under way, but considerable diffi- culty is being experienced in obtain- ing competent men.

The lumber market may fairly be characterized as buoyant, the de- mand being exceptionally good and stocks comparatively light. ‘‘The man who has lumber for sale occu- pies an enviable position, for he can obtain almost any price he may choose to ask,’’ was the way in which a local dealer explained the situation. He had just booked a large order for pine at a price which represented a substantial advance over the quotations of.a few weeks ago. The buyer of to-day, although willing to pay high prices to get the lumber, is not as exacting in respect to grades as when prices were lower, and consequently stocks which have not been ‘considered very desirable are finding a purchaser. This is evidence of the inherent strength of the market. In the Ottawa Valley, where stocks are short, spruce, bass- wood and birch have advanced. Contracting for the 1907 cut has commenced and we are informed that sales have been made averaging $3 per thousand above the figures realized for the present year’s pro- duction. It would not be surprising, Rowever, to find a disposition on the part of manufacturers to defer entering into contracts until after. ek ee : oe “= : Pee ee Jot iS |) Pn ie a ee d a the turn of the year, inasmuch as those who sold early last year had reason to regret their action. British Columbia kiln dried cedar, for Ontario delivery, is this week advanced to $54, air dried boat lumber to $57, Douglas fir timber to $37.80, and flcoring to $44. EASTERN CANADA. Recent rains have moved a quan- tity of logs which were hung up in the St. John river, and it is prob- able that the mills will continue operations later than usual this year, as there is a good demand for lumber. Spruce boards for ship- ment to the Eastern States are wanted, and buyers seem willing to pay current prices, as there is little probability of .a lower range of values before next midsummer at the earliest. Eastern cedar shingles are selling freely et $3.50 for Extras for Boston delivery, while some of the standard brands are held at $3.- 60 to $3.70. Most of the season’s production having passed out of the hands of the manufacturers, shippers are in a position to secure full prices throughout the winter months. WESTERN CANADA. The condition of the lumber trade of Western Canada continues pros- perous in the extreme. The build- ing permits issued in Winnipeg this year have already exceeded $11,- 000,000, and so great is the de- mand for building material that the mills and retail yards are taxed to their utmost. Prices are strong all along the line. The recent advance by the British Columbia manufac- turers is now in effect, but it does not seem to have checked the de- mand in the least. This advanceis $1 per thonsand on boards and timbers, $2 on No. 2 flooring, ceiling and siding, $1 on No. 3 flooring, ceiling and siding, and $2 on No. 2 boards and shiplap. UNITED STATES, There is nothing in the white pine situation to indicate any weak- ness, as the demand continues very heavy and prices firm. The weather has permitted the northern mills to _continue operations without inter- ruption, but it is believed that all the lumber manufactured will find a market before the 1907 cut is in shipping condition, There is an excellent demand for box Jumber, It. as may be determined from the fact that a Chicago dealer last week sold 7,000,000 feet of No. 5 boards to a local box manufacture’, this being the entire product of that grade to be manufactured by a Minneapolis mill next season. The price was based on current quota- tions. Buffalo and Tonawanda dealers are booking orders freely and report that the tendency of prices is to harden. Hemlock is ina strong position and Boston buyers are paying $20 to $22. Cargo prices for Chicago delivery are $17 for piece stuff. The spruce situation has improved. Boards are very scarce and in some cases buyers having mill facilities have purchased carloads of 2 x 6 inch and 2x 8inch to be resawed into boards. Spruce lath is held by a few mills at $4.50 for 15% inch and $4.25 for 1% inch, although sales are being made be- low these figures. GREAT BRITAIN. The situation in Great Britain is still one of considerable uncertainty in respect to new business, as im- porters are fighting the high prices which are now ruling. The quan- tity of lumber on the public docks at London is a little heavier than at the corresponding time last year, but considerably lighter than in the four previous years. If consump- tion should improve during the winter months, there will be very light stocks in the spring. .The import of white pine lumber this year been light and prices are firm. Consumers are being urged to buy now, as nothing can be gained by Oe Sas yr ibn CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION waiting. The spruce situation is strong, and as imports from the St. Lawrence will cease in a few weeks, there does not seem to be any like- lihood of prices. The lower grades of spruce are being bought in large quantities for the packing trade. STOCKS AND PRICES. In Wisconsin No. 3 basswood is bringing $14 and No. 2 $16 at the mill. For the twelve months ending June 30th, 1906 statistics show that a total of 641,531,000 spruce lath were exported from Canada to the United States. The Vigars-Shear Lumber Com- pany, Port Arthur, have secured the contract for supplying nearly half a million ties for the Canadian Northern Railway. Up to October 1 the Fredericton © Boom Company, Fredericton, N. B., had rafted 120,824,000 feet of logs and the total for the season may run close to 130,000,000 feet, which is ahead of last year’s record. The Spanish Boom Company have rafted and sorted 2,600,000 pieces, estimated to contain 150,- 000,000 feet. There will be held back in the stream about 10 per cent. of the output, which will be carried over for next season.

VaNcouvER, B. C., October 8th, _ 1909.—‘‘Conditions in the shingle industry in British Columbia are S fair,” stated Mr. H.-H. Spicer, manager of the Export Lumber _ Company, to-day. ‘‘There has been no change in prices since July, and -at the mills the figures. quoted are $2. o5 for XXX, with No. 2’s at ‘$1.20. There is a XXXX brand which is shipped specially to On- tario, this being sold at $2.20. The _ demand for shingles is not particu- _ larly heavy just now, particularly _ from Ontario. A number of rea- -sons may be given for this, but they are the usual causes which affect the market. There is a small quan- tity shipped to the United States _ from British Columbia. _ Shingle bolts are scarce at from $4.25 to $4.50, and since winter is at hand, when wet weather will _ make work more awkward in the _ woods, the price will likely be high for several months to come. Mr. R. H. H. Alexander, secre- tary of the B. C. Lumber and Shingle Manufacturers’ Association, states that there is no special feat- ure in the lumber market, beyond the increase made ten days ago of $1 on all classes of product. As explained before, this increase was deemed necessary because of the high prices of logs and labor, both of which are very scarce. Stocks in the mill yards are away down, and all the better kinds of lumber are cleaned out. What are in place are the rougher grades, and not much of them. There is no change in the log market. Notwithstanding that July was a record month, wit#»26,000,- ooo feet put into the water, and August capped this with 35,000,- ooo, there were none too many. September had a number of rainy days, but it is expected that the out- put of the camps will be very high. Still prices are hovering around $9 and $10, and with bidding goes higher. The burning of the mill and shingle plant of E. H. Heaps & Company on Saturday night last, with a loss of $200,000, will seriously affect the market. The daily shipping capacity of lumber was a little over 200,000 feet, with about 70,000 shingles. The com- pany had orders for four months ahead for lumber, and these will necessarily be thrown back on other mills, which are already going to the utmost of the log supply. The Heaps Company has another mill at Ruskin, but this too is being work-. ed to capacity. Scarcity of cars is hampering the shipment of lumber by coast mills. One to close down for a week or ten days is the mill of the Nanaimo Lumber Company. Orders tor about a million feet of lumber have been placed with coast mills by the G. T. P. Company, supplementing those already being filled by mills in the north. The material is required for construction purposes at Prince Rupert. A. F. Holden, Pres. J. M. Diver, Gen’l.-Mgr ¥F, H.

Dealers are giving their attention to picking up white pine lumber wherever it can be found, for the supply is getting scarce and there may be some lively bidding for stocks before spring. United States buyers are taking the Ottawa Valley stocks more liberally than in any previous year, and competition from this source has been respons- ible for a recent advance of from $1 to $2 per thousand in the price of the lower grades. Toronto retail dealers are as busy as is possible. Building permits.so far this year have exceeded $11,000,- ooo, and the fact that the figures for the month of October are almost as large as any previous month would indicate a continuance of the pre- vai ing activity and a large demand for lumber during the winter sea- son. Hardwoods are going into consumption on a moderate scaler but that branch of the lumber trade shows none of the buoyancy Which” is seen in white pine and hemlock: There is a feeling that birch should improve further, as it is low in price when one considers the many ptr- poses for which it is suited. Lath are scarce and strong. EASTERN CANADA. It is understood that the quantity of oak timber which will winter at Quebec this year will not exceed 200,000 cubic feet, which is much less than a year ago. The produc- tion this. winter will also be light, and higher prices are predicted. . CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION. II. irch is showing a little more trength. Offers for spruce deals yr export to Great Britain are said » have been lowered about fifty ents per thousand, but the trade egards the weakness as temporary nd the result of misunderstanding f the exact situation, which is real- y strong. At time of writing it is ot known whether the recent rains yere sufficient to bring any quantity f the hung-up Slogs down to the aills, ‘*‘Extra” cedar shingles are elling at $3.50 on Boston rate of reight. WESTERN CANADA. Building permits issued in Winni- eg up to the end of October exceed 11,000,000, which means that a ast quantity of lumber has been onsumed by the building industry. ‘he demand continues as keen as ver, and. the dealers and kuilders re being greatly inconvenienced y the inability of the railroads to ake delivery of lumber purchased 7ithin a reasonable time. The iills throughout all Western Can- da have more business than they an handle, but with. orders so lentiful a shut-down has become ecessary in some instances owing 9 the scarcity of cars. The con- itions may result in a further | dvance in lumber prices. Shingles re less active, but stocks are not urge and prices are not likely to secede owitig’ to the high cost of roduction. UNITED STATES. White pine lumber is firm in all 1e United States markets. The nipments from the Lake Superior ills have been somewhat lighter jan last year, but as the sawing sason is about to close and manu- icturers’ stocks are not heavy, there -notlikely to be any difficulty in laintaining present prices. Stocks t Buffalo and Tonawanada promise » be of normal size, but the Albany ipply is lighter than usual. There -a strong demand for all classes of common lumber, with indications of slight advances on certain sizes and grades. The spruce market is steady but does not show much animation. For prompt shipment $24 has been paid for g-inch and under, Boston delivery, but sales are still being madeat $23. Strength in ash, birch and basswood is the feature of the hardwoods. There is a good demand and the outlook is favorable. Lath does not recede from its high price, but on the other hand where the buying is brisk, the seller has been able to obtain a slight advance. For 1 54-inch spruce lath $4.50 has been realized at Bos- ton. GREAT BRITAIN. Business in Great Britain is. still on the quiet side, but nearly every- one is hopeful about the future. Buyers are not disposed as yet to close contracts for next year’s de- livery, but as the tendency seems to be towards a higher range of values, there cannot be much gain- ed by waiting. Pine deals of first and second quality are strong, the supply light, and inquiries on the increase. The lower grades are less firm. One or two cargoes of spruce have recently been sold be- low the ruling price, and the market is temporarily weaker, but in the face of higher freight rates and in- surance charges, there can be no good reason for any general de- cline, and as soon as the effect of these forced sales is lost, a re- covery will no doubt take place. STOCKS AND PRICES. Mutchenbacker Bros. have clos- ed their mill at Mafeking, Man., and started operations in the woods. They expect to take out 7,000,000 feet this winter, which will be near- ly double their production of last year.

P. Musson, _ Son & Company, Barbados, as fol- “lows: ale ‘“‘The schooner ‘‘Drusie’, from Gaspe, Que., brought down 85,000 feet spruce lumber, which represents the receipts for the fort- night. This lumber kas not yet been placed on offer, but should elicit a good price whensold, as our market for spruce is.very bare and the de- mand at this season active. There has been no further arrival of white pine, and the two cargoes reported in our last are being rapidly used up, so that further arrivals of both this and spruce will fetch exceed- ingly good prices. Shingle receipts comprise - 185,000 Long Gaspe and 15,000 Laying Cedar ex ‘‘Drusie”, which have not yet been sold. They should bring good prices as stocks are not heavy, .especially in Long Cedar, and the demand has been very good in consequence of the rainy weather, THE OTTAWA VALLEY.

WE FURNISH COLUMNS IN ANY SIZE OR LENGTH 3 a + _ Best Machinery. — October 31, 1906 orders booked for basswood and birch the Bartram Company is carry- ing on more extensive shanty opera- tions than usual and will take out a large quantity of lumber on the Rouge river. Though prices in all grades of lumber are exceedingly high, manu- facturers do not anticipate a decline in the near future. Already it has been pointed out that logging opera- tions are too costly to permit a drop. Another sign of sustained quota- tiens is the desire of buyers to lay in supplies for the spring trade, for they do not contemplate‘a weaken- ing in prices. The James MacLaren Company, of Buckingham, hasdone practically no work since the strike in the mill six weeks ago, when 500 men left their places. The cessation otf work has had a serious effect on the out- put of lumber. The Company has 50 men employed under military protection but all their time is de- voted to sawing for the pulp mill. Asa result of the strike a great number of logs will be frozen in the Lievre river this year. The wet spell of last week gave a set-back to shanty operations. Some of the large firms who had been sending gangs away suddenly stopped and it will require some “hard freezing weather to revive the activity in the woods. The Pembroke Lumber Company have just about filled their shanties on the Jocko river, and Holland & Graves are nearly done hiring for their limits along the Wahnapitae river. - Companies who are able to draw on their mill gangs for shanty hands are in an enviable position, for men are exceedingly scarce. Wages is firm at $35 a month for log makers, which is an advance of $3 over last ear. The demand is sec good that the laborer has plenty of ‘choice to where he will go for the winter. The low water which has been menacing the Chaudiere industries all along has closed Mr. J.R.Booth’s pulp mill completely. Mr. Booth has decided to let the pulp grinders CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION stand idle in order to divert all the water power to the lumber mill. Any time that the ‘volume of the river increases sufficiently the pulp machinery will be put in operation again and it will start anyway as soon as the saw mill closes for the winter: tik The Eddy pulp mill has been partially stopped also, to save the power for the manufacture of paper. Low water has interfered with pulp making in-many parts of Canada. The lumber kings hope to find partial relief through- an arrange- ment the Dominion government has made apportioning the Chaudiere into water lots. This, however, does not immediately increase the supply of energy, but it is expected steps will be taken to provide effect- ive dams before long. The reduc- tion of the falls has been the great- est menace of years to the Ottawa lumber industry. NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER. (Correspondence of the CanapA LUMBERMAN.) St. Joun, N.B., Oct. 22nd, 1906. —The log operators at the head of the St. John river and along its branches are getting under way in earnest with their operations. The difficulty being experienced because of the scarcity of men is still a feature. From $27.00 to $32.00 per month for competent choppers is being paid. A feature of many contracts this year is the limitations being placed upon the contractors in regard to size and percentage of battens, which will necessitate the leaving of many of the smaller trees which in other years would have been cut. A tendency in this’ direction has been apparent during several sea- sons past and this year the idea is being carried out more thoroughly than before. A heavy rain at the headwaters has been reported and the river has risen materially during the last few days, but whether or not this circumstance will have any effect upon the logs which are at present The Weller Sills Co., Limited BELLEVILLE, ONT.

The trade in Great Britain for New Brunswick spruce has shown po important change during the past month. Up to October 15th —which is the date set by law for the adoption of the six-foot deck- load on steamers loading to cross the Atlantic—shipments in this line from this port were considerable in volume ‘and the result is that the wharves in this city and vicinity The object of this eagerness to ship is to get away as much as possible before the increase in frieght rates, con- tingent upon the necessity of a smaller deck-load as mentioned above. At present writing, none of the local manufacturers are carrying in stock more than a few hundreds of thousands of feet of ‘‘English” deals and, taken all together, these quantities would not total to more than 1 1/2 millions of feet. Being thus practically cleaned up on this line, it is apparent that the receipts from this vicinity will be very light at the other end during the next two months. Such quantities as will gather on the local wharves be- tween now and the usual closing down of the mills (early in De- cember), will practically all go for- ward piecemeal by the winter liners. Local feeling in regard to ‘‘Eng- lish” deals indicates confidence in the strength of the market. An enquirer for this line of goods, in a specification containing say 35/ 7’s, 50% 9’s, and 15 11’s and wides, would probably be quoted no lower than $14.00 to $14.15 per thousand superficial feet (two-thirds price for fourths and ends) f.o.b. steamer St. John.

The extent of this shortage will depend largely upon the consumption dur- ing the winter months, which can- not be determined at the present time. The lumber market is quite buoyant, with stock always in re- quest. The urgent buying of the lower grades in the Ottawa Valley has resulted in an advance in the price of pine shorts, which are ex- ceptionally scarce. British buyers have been endeavoring to close contracts for next year’s production, but the manufacturers do not seem anxious to sell. Hemlock and hardwoods are showing a strong undertone. Although stocks of hardwoods are still comparatively heavy, the situation is greatly im- proved as compared with one year ago, and if the log production this © winter should again be light, hard- wood prices should advance toa more remunerative basis. White pine lath is, if anything, a little stronger, as the mills are now ask- ing $4.75 for No. 1, which makes the wholesale price in Toronto about $5.25. EASTERN CANADA No signs are yet visible of any falling off in the demand for build- ing lumber in Montreal, where numerous structures are still in an unfinished state. If the winter should prove mild, building opera- tions will continue almost without cessation. The lumber supply is light and prices very firm. The de- mand for New Brunswick spruce lumber cannot be termed as active, although in view of the light stocks, the situation is considered very healthy. Spruce boards are more asked for than deals. There has been another upward turn in cedar shingles and most of the large mills are now asking $3.60 for Boston delivery. UNITED STATES. Nothing has happened during the past week to weaken the lumber market, as the weather has been exceptionally fine. The approach of winter will likely have au effect very shortly and a falling off in country trade may then be expected bob aay Sg t ile Prices on all grades of lumber are firm, with the lower grades of white pine in very strong demand. No. 4 boards are selling at $18.50 deliver- ed in Chicago, and No. 5 at $14.50. Buffalo dealers report a good trade and notwithstanding that prices are considerably higher than they were last fall, there is little hesitation on the part ofthe buyer. Spruce is not showing as much activity as other classes of lumber. Asking prices at Boston are $23 for ginch and under and $25 for 10 and 12 inch. The hardwoods are in a very healthy condition. Birch is selling freely and shows a tendency to stiffen in price. Basswood, maple ard ash are improving slowly, but steadily. White pine lath are slightly firm- er, $4.75 being the asking price of No. 1 at the mill. Shingles are also showing increased strength. GREAT BRITAIN. * The rise in the Bank of England rate has seemingly further restricted the buying of lumber and has almost entirely checked the speculative tendency. It is almost impossible to discern any improvement in the demand notwithstanding that con- sumers are beginning to realize that a higher level of prices must be faced. The spruce market, however, is again steadier and it is not pos- sible to purchase at any concessions. For g-inch and up,the ruling quota- tions are £9 to £9 10s per standard, and for 7 and 8 inch, 47 15s. There is more demand for sidings than for any other class of pine, although the lower grades of deals are en- quired for to some extent and stocks are unusually low. Birch is ‘still too heavily stocked and the experi- ence of the past season does not augur well for shipments next year. The Sutton Lumber and Trading Company’s new saw mill at Mus- quito Harbor, Clayoquot, B. C., has commenced operations. CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER. (Correspondence of the CANAna LUMBERMAN,) VANCOUVER, B.C., October 22nd, 1906.—If conditions in the shingle industry were as prosperous as those in the lumber part of the business, manufacturers would have little cause for complaint. As it is, the shingle men have to contend against a scarcity of labor and of bolts, without having the very consider- able amount of trade which is com- .ing to the lumber manufacturers. Yet, business is accounted fairly good, with prices firm. The shingle market is mainly domestic, with a good local trade. The Ontario ship- ments feel the keen competition with other brands than those turned out in British Columbia, .and the $2.25 shingle f.o.b. cars, produced here especially tor Ontario dealers, is without doubt the best in the. world. The XXX, which forms the main portion of the supply, is strict- ly a high class article, and meets | with general favor. This is the brand that is shipped to the United States, and since it is able to suc- cessfully compete withthe American shingle, even with the handicap of a duty, shows that it has superior excellence. Puget Sound mills are pressing B.C. manufacturers for a close season in shingle production, but it is a question if the mills here will shut down at any time during the winter. Bolts are as scarce as ever. Mr. T. F. Paterson was reported the other day with saying that Jum- ber would be raised again in price pretty soon. In regard to this a millman said this morning: ‘Mr. Paterson bases his remarks, evident- ly, on the labor and log conditions. Both are very scarce and the pros- pect is that they will continue so during the winter. There has al- ready been considerable wet weath- er this fall, which has had an effect on the output from the woods.

We will probably have more fine weath- er before the rainy season sets in, but if no great opportunity for get- ting out logs is given, then I can see nothing else but another in- crease. It looks high now, with rough lumber at $16, butin all cases the advances have been forced.” Mills are talked of in the north, but in the meantime the work at Prince Rupert is necessitating the ordering of lumber from this part of the province. The Chemainus mill has obtained a large order for immediate filling. John Arbuthnot and associates, who purchased the Nanaimo Lum- ber Company’s interest, will enlarge the mill. The name is now the Red Fir Lumber Company. — Scarcity of cars caused a recent shut- down there for about ten days. - Joseph Patrick, president of the Drummond Lumber Company, which operates on the St. Lawrence river, is one of the latest to come west after timber. There have been some very large purchases of timber of late, particularly in the interior. Hood Bros., of Spokane, secured about twenty square miles west of of Revelstoke, and will build a large mill and engage in the Northwest trade. The illimitable business de- veloping in the prairie provinces, with the high prices of lumber, are attracting Americans, and every week some purchase by them is reported. BRITISH COLUMBIA LOGGING.

Ortrawa, Nov. 5, 1906.—The - lumber market has witnessed some __ very sharp advances in pine shorts. The prices are now excessively high _ compared with previous quotations in Ottawa, but buying is as active _ «as the low stocks will permit. One inch good pine shorts of the narrow variety command $30a thousand peered seven inch and up is selling at _ from $37 to$4o. As high as $45 ; is paid for the best two-inch stock. - The quantity of No. 1 and No. 2 barn on handis probably lower than any other sort. This accounts for a recent rise in price. The in- _quiries for this line have fallen off recently purely because the manu- facturers were unable to supply the eg The demand for birch, spruce and— basswood continues brisk and _ the best varieties are almost impos- sible to get. The closing week of October brought a great volume of -_ orders for most of the fine grades of lumber from the United States. _._. These buyers are willing to pay ~ such handsome figures that 't looks = as if the sales of deals to Great ae Britain would decline greatly in the near future. British buyers are * : fares to close contracts in Ottawa __. for next season’s cut with some big *, not be considered.

The present market conditions are not likely to change hurriedly either. A representative Ottawa dealer expressed his opinion to the CANADA LuMBERMAN as fol- lows : ‘‘For the last two years it was _ thought that prices had reached such a height there wouid be re- 3 action. These views were held by *) i ; - ~ A SPECIALTY IN. YELLOW PINE or OAK. ~S ~Resawing, Making aay “BROTHERS CO. _ manufacturers, but their offers can- - . the very best informed in the trade. But they have changed their opin- ions. Many people today think that there will be no weakening and that present prices regarded as high are merely a moderate standard of what lumber is to be at its lowest the next three to five years. At no time in the history of the lumber trade in Ottawa or Canada has there been such radical changes as in the last three years. It has now reached such a point that it looks as if there was going to bea great change in what used to be fixed markets in Canada. Conditions and prices have reached such a point that English trade has to pay much more or practically surrender the whole lumber trade to local and United States markets. It looks as if care would have to be taken not so much to get a market out- side as to reserve lumber for our own uses in Canada. In Ottawa lumber is not to be had at all.” The scarcity of lumber in Ottawa is partially due to difficulty of get- ting logs. The cut was greatly re- duced. The Shepard and Morse mill, for instance, would have run at night all season if it had the logs. Only a very small portion of some 400,000 logs put into the Ottawa river by this firm last May has yet reached the mill in Ottawa. The Braeside mills were completely closed for five weeks owing to this circumstance. The Hawkesbury Lumber Company had also to close down for some days in September for want of iogs and Ritchie’s mill in Alymer was prevented from run- ning steadily at night fora similar reason. It is learned from the Upper Ottawa Improvement Com- pany, which has charge of bringing down the logs, that it is extremely difficult to keep up a steady supply of logs for the many lumbermen who have interests on the Ottawa.

It is difficult to surmise what permanent effect the strike will have on this industry which has practically made Buckingham. The strikers are determined to hold to their demand next spring and in any case it is not likely any of them would be re- engaged. Nearly all of them have their homes in the town and an attempt to replace the whole num- ber would have far reaching effects. The seriousness of the roit which occurred October 8th was shown by the verdict of the corner’s jury rendered on October 31st declaring two members of the firm, five detec- tives, five strike leaders and a local - magistrate responsible for the death of two strikers. The detectives are censured for not trying to effect peace by arrests instead of open battle and the strikers must answer for encouraging their leaders. Messrs. Albert and Alexander Mac- Laren were named in the indictment not because they participated in the fight, but for bringing in the Thiel detectives. There was a sound reason for procuring this armed protection in view of the danger of setting fire during the hostilities be- tween the company and the men. The MacLaren’s insurance in Buck- ingham amounted to $557.500 ex- elusive of $75,000 on their private residences. The insurance com- panies insisted upon having 33 men to guard that property immediately after the strike was declared at the peril of cancellation of the policies. Up to and before October 8th insurance inspectors had come to Buckingham to see to this matter so that the company found itself in a Critical position. The extra ex- penses to the company since the labor trouble began is nearly $50,- 000. Log run ash is worth $26 at the mills in Wisconsin. Ten years ago it was selling for $9. TIMBER LIMIT TRANSACTIONS. J. Newton Pugsley, of Parrsboro, N.S., has purchased trom A. C. & C. W. Elderkin the lumber property on the western part of Cumberland county, known as the Eatonville property. This is one of the best timber berths in the county and covers an area of about eighteen thousand acres of well timbered land. The price paid is in the vicinity of $90,000. Messrs. G. Diederichsen, jun., of Hamburg, P. Lorentzen Apen- rade, and M. Jebsen, ship-owners, of Hamburg, have purchased Easton & Company’s timber limits on the River Portneuf, Quebec. The pro- perty, which is 484 square miles in extent, is onthe north shore of the St. Lawrence, about 135 miles east of Quebec, and consists partly of virgin forest and mills.

The timber limits and saw mill of the Nanaimo Lumber Co. , Nana- imo, B. C., are reported to have been sold a few days ago to J. R. Arbuthnot and John C. McGarvin, of Winnipeg, for $100,000. Last spring J. S. Emerson and William Munsie purchased the mill and tim- ber limits. They were owned by Andrew Haslam, now supervisor of provincial log scalers. The price paid by tender was $72,000.

Apply Box 8, Highland Grove, Ont. CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. ONTARIO. A gentleman who recently visited a number of the mills in Western Ontario in search of pine and hem- lock reports that very little unsold lumber is to be found at manufac- turing points, and it is a very dificult matter to buy anything. The market has been almost bare of the lower grades for some weeks, and it is a question where the lumber is to come from for the spring requirements. Prices are now the highest yet reached, pine mill culls being held at $18 at the mill for 10 and 12 inch, 10 to 16 feet. The lower grades are show- ing the most strength, quotations being practically nominal. Hem- lock is selling as high as $20 at the mill for 20-foot stock. Nothing is plentiful, but there are probably larger offerings of hemlock sidings than any other material. Hard- woods are meeting with a good demand and stocks are lighter than one year ago, but it has taken a long time to market the burdensome load which manufacturers and deal- ers were carrying. Soft elm is a little dull, but maple, birch and basswood are moving in some volume. The scarcity of white pine lath has quickened the demand for 32 inch. No. 1 pine in that size is worth $2.50 at the mill, and No. 1 hem- lock, same size, $1.75 to $1.85. BRITISH COLUMBIA. A heavy snowstorm in the North- west has caused a partial cessation of building operations and curtailed the consumption of lumber This will be welcomed by the mills, which are far behind with orders. Prices are very strong and likely to ad- vance further. The log situation is the firmest ever known on the Coast and bids fair to continue for several months. The only possible solution tor the abnormally high logs prices lies almost entirely with the mills, through curtailing the output. Cur- .tailment must inevitably take place at all points dependent upon inde- pendent loggers. The ability of loggers to furnish additional logs is taxed to the utmost. It is not a question of price but the ability to secure men and equipment. Fir logs may be quoted at from $8.50 to $11.00 per M according to © quality, delivered at mill; cedar $7.50 to $11.00, and spruce $8.00 to $11.00. UNITED STATES. The November demand for lum- ber has been very good, but the movement has been greatly hamp- ered by the car shortage. The mills will go into the winter with a smaller stock of white pine, spruce, hemlock and hardwoods than last year, while there is some reason to expect a larger consumption unless unless the weather should prove very severe. The outlook, based on a Study of conditions, is for firm prices, with possibly an advance in some lines. Box lumber, which is in unusually active demand, may be forced higher, notwithstanding that white pine mill culls are now selling in Bos on on a basis o $at. Dimension stock is also scarce and Il. pS hs : att may advance further. The spruce market has remained about stat- ionary. Frames are held at $23 to $25 in Boston, but for prompt de- livery buyers have been willing to pay an advance of $1. Random has gained about 50 cents a thou- sand. There is a ready sale for hardwoods. Basswood in the lower grades never experienced a stronger demand than at the present time, and it is moving freely wherever stocks can be secured. The upper grades are by no means neglected. Maple and birch are moving in con- siderable volume, while ash is show- ing some dullness. GREAT BRITAIN. There is very little life to the Brit- ish timber market, for which the present state of the money market is responsible in part at Jeast. The wintering stocks are not heavy but unless the consumption improves, they will be quite ample to meet the demand. Spruce is a littler weaker. At a recent auction sale at London second quality spruce 12 and 13 feet -in length brought £10 per standard of 1980 feet, but £9 5s was the best that could be obtained for 11-foot lengths. For third quality 3 x7 inch, 9 to 14 feet, £8 5s was realiz- ed, and for 3x 11 inch fifth qual- ity, £7 15s. A quantity of first class birch was offered at this sale, which brought from 52s 6d fer load of 50 cubic feet for 12 to 16 inch to 65s for 18 inch and up. These fig- ures show a decline as compared with previous sales and indicate that there has as yet been no im- provement in the birch market. STOCKS AND PRICES. In the Boston market spruce lath are firm at $4.50 to $4.75 for 154 inch and $4.25 for 1%4 inch. New York quotations are lower, being $4 for 1%4 inch. Some mixed lath have sold there lately at $3.80, but such lots have usually included a percent- shingle market. S a ea. oe eee CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION age of hemlock or a larger percent- age than usual of the 13 inch size, which are produced from the edg- ings of 3 inch deals. The Northern Construction Come pany have been awarded the contract to take out one and a quarter mill- ion ties between Fort Francis and Port Arthur for the Canadian North- ern Railway. Of these 250,000 are to be delivered this winter. The steamer ‘‘Nemea”, from St. John, N.B., bound for Manchester, England, for Harrison, Robertson & Company, with a cargo of lumber, was abandoned at sea about 200 miles from the west coast of Ireland. The Peter McLaren Lumber Com- pany, of Blairmore, Alberta, are preparing for a busy season in the woods this winter and if the weather is favorable will make the largest cut of logs this season in the history of the company. Several camps have been established in the woods and in the neighborhood of 200 men will be employed. THE SHINGLE SITUATION. Indications are that there will be a very complete shut-down of the shingle mills of Washington and Oregon during the coming winter. It is understood that an agreement has been reached between’ the operators of the combination and the straight mills which will cut off the manufacture of shingles for a considerable part of the winter. The manufacturers of British Columbia shingles are being urged to join in the movement, but it is not yet known what action they are likely to take. It has been demonstrated that even when the demand for shingles is at the best, the capacity of the mills is more than sufficient to supply the demand, and unless there is some curtailment, the market becomes congested.

Washing ton red cedars are bringing $3.45 and $2.86 for Stars, Chicago de- ilvery. The shortage ot Coast shingles has given a lift to white cedars, which are selling freely, prices on Extras being $3.25 at the mill, or $3.50 from Chicago yards. New Brunswick cedars are finding a ready sale in Boston at $3.60 for Extras and $3.10 for Clears. It is understood that the Eastern cedar shingles are likely to be controlled this winter by a few large opera- tors, though one or two wholesale houses have bought quite heavily and contracted for the product of a number of small mills for many months in advance.

The monthly timber circular of Churchill & Sim, dated November 2nd, says: October has been a month of very large importation, of dear money, and of dropping prices on the London market. It has also been a month of consider- able trade, as, although the.dock deliveries are 1,100 standards short of those of the same month last yeer, the over-side deliveries are 3,- 100 standards greater, leaving a credit balance of 2,000 standards in favour of the month just ended. The dock stock has, nevertheless, ac- cumulated freely, and is now some 5,000 standards larger than it was last year. In the meantime Swedish shippers have paid no attention whatever to any weakness here, but have cleared off the balance of their available supplies at the fullest rates of the season to country and Con- tinental markets. Russian shippers have made concessions only for ‘goods already charteredfor London, which have mostly been sold at very moderate cost freight and insurance prices. There is every indication that shippers will ask and obtain for next year the highest rates current this season and upwards, so that stock in London should be good holding in the meantime, although the great scarcity and the high price of money makes this difficult. The position is that at the rates to which the London market has now fallen lumber can be bought at well under the cost of anything that is at all likely to be brought in either this year or next. The importation of pine deals into London during October has been quite a small one, and under the in- fluence of this continuously light supply and of the small dock stock prices have begun to move ahead again. The demand is, of course, still very restricted, and must be so at the present level of cost. Spruce deals have arrived in about normal quantities from the St. Lawrence, but are short from New Brunswick. The inclination towards better prices for them has been very faint, but it The Weller Sills Co., Limited BELLEVILLE, ONT.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. ONTARIO. The closing days of November find the lumber market in a very prosper- ous condition, with more business offering than can be taken care of. All grades of pine and hemlock are in good demand. Mill run pine which could be bought a month ago at $22 is now held at $24, and the end is not yet. Unless indications are misleading, there will be a further advance in some grades be- fore next spring. The high price of white pine has encouraged the use of hemlock, which is being largely used for building purposes. Building lumber of all kinds is moving actively, as the weather has been such as to cause no _ inter- ruption to outdoor work. British buyers have been sounding the Ottawa Valley manufacturers, but we have not jlearned of any trans- No. 38. actions. The production of deals next year is likely to be smaller than ever. Some good sales of hardwoods have recently been made in the Ottawa Valley, but stock is much more plentiful than in pine and hemlock. EASTERN CANADA. The lumber market is usually quiet at this season of the year. Most of the larger mills are now closed down for the winter and attention is directed to the stock on hand. This is comparatively light, as is shown by the estimate of 4,000,000 feet of spruce deals at the St. John mills. The shipments to Great Britian by the regular liners during the winter months are therefore likely to be below the average. A circumstance which is contributing towards a firm lumber market is the unfavorable conditions for work in the woods. The weather has been mild with very little snow, and the roads are in an almost impassable condition. The lath market is _ steady. The production during the winter months will be largely round wood lath, and if offerings should prove heavy, it may result in a greater difference between the price of round wood and slab lath. UNITED STATES. The manufacturing season for white pine is practically closed. The mills have an average stock of lumber, which would have been short but for the fact that shipments for the past few weeks have not been as large as anticipated, chiefly owing to the serious nature of the car shortage. Prices at manufac- turing points are firm and conditions are such that an advance might be made on some lines, but it is prob- able that conservatism will prevail in this connection. Southern pine is somewhat irregular. Prices of high grade finishing lumber and flooring have weakened a trifle, but this is offset by the firmness and excellent demand for dimension and common inch lumber. Hemlock continues active and is selling in Chicago for $17 for cargo stock and $19 for car-loads. The activity in hardwoods is quite pronounced. In the Wisconsin district, for instance, the market has absorbed almost the entire supply of basswood excepting that which is under contract direct with consumers. In the Saginaw Il. Valley basswood is selling at $24, lirch at $20 to $26, soft elm at $23 to $26, and maple at $16 to $18. The demand for shingles and lath is good, while the supply is light. GREAT BRITAIN. The British market. is still very uncertain. Spruce has shown some weakness owing to rumors of heavy winter shipments, but in view of the small stocks held on this side, there does not seem to be any reason for uneasiness on this score. Some 3 x 9 inch third quality spruce deals were sold recently in London at $9 anda small lot of 3 x 9 inch fifth quality at £7 10s. The latest c.i.f. sales, however, have been on the basis of 47 15s to £8, or practic- ally 5s below values ruling about two months ago. Dealers who are well informed are looking for some recovery during the winter months, when the extent of the shipments can be definitely determined. Birch planks, which have been exception- ally weak for the past six months, are showing signs of stiffening and a recovery of moderate proportions may be looked for in the near future. The consumption is better and likely to continue to show improvement. BRITISH COLUMBIA CONDITIONS. Speaking of the condition of log- ging in British Columbia at the pre- sent time, Mr. Frank Paterson, of the Paterson Timber Company, said: ‘‘It looks as if there is going to be a great scarcity of logs for the next three months. It was expect- ed that the Northwest and Eastern orders would have fallen off con- siderably in October and November, but there is more from there, in the way of timbers especially, than the mills can handle, owing to the scarcity of timber logs. If the pre- sent bad weather continues though- out December and January, some CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION of the mills may have to face a compulsory shutdown, as the log- ging camps are not getting in half time, while the mills are running full time. Ido not think that the prices of lumber and logs can go much higher, unless it bein the larger grades of timber, which are at pre- sent selling from $3.00 to $4.00 per thousand below what they should be. The Pacific coast is the only place on the continent where large timbers can be obtained and the demand for them is so great that prices will certainly advance. The outlook for the lumber busi- ness for the year 1907 it seems to me is bright indeed, and prices will likely remain stiff thoughout the year. No hope can be held out to Eastern buyers that they will be able to buy at cut prices; in fact, they may have to have their rush orders filled at an advance over the present prices. ‘“‘Many new logging camps are going for 1907 and limits on the water-front, containing compara- tively small quantities of timber which previously it did not pay to work, - can be opened if the present prices of logs larger areas of timber limits are not likely to advance in prices for some years.” NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER. Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.) St. Joun, N.B., Nov. 19TH, 1906. The lumber manutacturing season in this vicinity is fast drawing to a close; the first week in December will see most of the larger mills closed down for the winter. So far the weather has been very favorable for sawing, owing to the continued lack of frost. Reports from up-river districts ‘tell of much difficulty in logging on account of the continued warm weather. Frost is badly needed in that direction; at present many of SS HEMLOCK SPECIAL We are prepared to ‘fill, on short notice, bills in Hemlock, in all lengths 10 to 24 feet. Stock sizes now ready.

Men are also very scarce and in some cases as high as $35.00 per month is being paid to competent \choppers. The St. John river has been very high during the last few weeks and some of the logs are running which were hung up last spring in the vic- inity of Grand Falls. As rafting operations are finished for this sea- son, these logs will be held at the Fredericton booms (if the water is of sufficient volume to bring them thus far) until next spring, when they will be available very early. This circumstance will no doubt have a direct effect upon the price of ‘‘bank” logs. These logs, cut along the banks inthe down-river counties and therefore available as soon as the ice is out, have brought, for several years past, in the vic- inity of ¢12.00 per thousand feet for spruce deal logs. The proba- bilities are that next year no such price will be obtainable; $11.00 is much more likely to be the figure. Little is being done in spruce deals for export to Great Britain. Indications point to the conclusion that stocks at the local mills will be materially lighter when closing- down time this year than has been the case for several years past; 4,000,000 superficial feet to 4,250,- ooo superficial feet would be the proper figure to designate the quan- tity, which is divided among seven or eight manufacturers. Owing to these circumstances, the supposi- tion is natural that shipments of spruce deals by the winter liners will be lighter than usual during the coming winter. While many small lots are forwarded by rail from inland points, the bulk of these shipments by the liners are made up of the product of mills in St. John and the immediate vicinity.

Moucanbue 28, 1906 BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER. _. (Correspondence of the Canana LUMBERMAN.) ~ Vancouver, B. C., November 19th, 1906.—Shingle manufacturers, who hold weekly meetings, are seriously considering closing down “The matter has been under consideration for some Ald. E. H. Heaps of the ‘Heaps Lumber Company stated ‘‘but no definite ac- down shall be from about December 22nd to the end of January, when 3 the ‘business will be the slackest. ‘The season is about over now, and - things generally are quiet in the shingle part of the industry. Ship- ments of red cedars are going to ‘the United States and Ontario, but nothing out of the ordinary. Bolts are still scarce and going up, and $5 is not an unusual price by any means.” ; Advertisements are being sent out to papers in the various lum- bering centres of Ontario for 1,000 loggers. Raw material for the - lumber mills here is difficult to get, and there is demand for all the “logs ‘that can be taken out. L. A. Lewis, general manager of the Brunette Sawmills at New Westminster, says: ‘‘There has been a remarkably large increase of lumber output on the Fraser river _ recently, and the present output would be still larger if the mills were not handicapped by a shortage The demand on the lum- ber mills is so great that the local needs cannot be readily met, and this also hampers the building - movement. Every mill on the river has orders for months ahead.” cee 5 i ar PLANING IN THE TAIT-CARSS LUMBER COMPANY, Limited ORILLIA, ONTARIO There is almost a famine in logs at present. Boisterous November weather and scarcity of men have caused this, and as a result the price has advanced. Fir logs are now selling at $10.50 to $12.50 ; spruce, $10.50 to $12; and cedar ~ from $7 to $9. These figures .are considered abnormally high when compared with the old prices of a year or two ago, and it may be that CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION — . before fine weather again sets in at the latter end of the winter further increases may be made. October was a record month for log pro- duction, the amount scaled being 37,048,495 feet. This large amount is accounted for by the shipment of logs from storage which had been held in the north. This augmenta- tion of supply cannot be expected this month, and it is expected that the output will be considerably lower than in October. The demand for standing timber is very great, and the supply is hardly sufficient for the number of buyers offering. It is said that the demand for lumber is slackening off, but if so, it is with new orders, for many of the mills are still behind with orders booked months ago. Another indication that business is not slow is that stocks are not be- ginning to pile up yet. Prices are firm, and will be so long as logs are so scarce and so high. R. S. P. Smyth, of Quebec, is visiting the interior of the province. He is looking tor desirable timber. The formation of the Bowman Sine Lumber Company, with head offices at Lacombe, Alberta, indi- cates the trend of the business. With the advent of lumber manu- facturers from the south, they are selling without the assistance of the middleman retailer. This com- pany will operate lumber yards at Lacombe and Stettler, Alta., and has athis head S. H. Bowman, president of the Bowman Lumber Company, having mills at Revel- stoke and Comaplix. SHINGLE MILLS AGREEMENT. On November igth a meeting of the shingle manufacturers in Van- couver was held for the purpose of discussing the situation for next season, and although there was no definite action taken in regard to the selling arrangement for another year, the opinion was freely ex- pressed that it would be continued and stronger than ever, with every mill of consequence in line. A meeting will be held on Decem- ber 3 next, for the purpose of de- ciding this question, and the ques- tion of closing down for a month or six weeks from Christmas. The great point made by the in- dustry in bringing about the selling arrangement by which all the mills dispose of their product through two selling companies is that it prevents that curse to the trade, overproduc- tion. Ifthe mills were run to their limit they could at any time, at a short notice, glut the market and ruin prices. By the present system, where each mill is fairly alotted its cut for the season’s Canadian trade, overproduction and price- smashing is impossible. At the beginning of last year the mills signed up for two years, and the arrangement could not be broken unless by the wish and on the request of 25 per cent. of the members. As this request has not been made, it is a foregone con- clusion that the arrangement will be continued, and under much bet- ter auspices, as it is said that those few mills who did not sign up last year are prepared to do so this year. TIMBER LIMIT TRANSACTIONS. Wm. Potter & Son, of Totten- ham, Ont., recently purchased the timber on the Coffey farm near Penville for $15,500. A few days ago they resold the timber to a Quebec firm for $25,000, clearing neatly $10,000 on the deal. .

Vancouver, B.C., Nov. 23rd, 1906.—Logs have been very scarce during the past few days and many of the mills have started on their reserve supply. At $12.50a thous- and it was thought that the top notch price had been reached, but $15 is now quoted. Even at this figure the supply is quite inadequate for the demand. The Scott Lumber Company, of Fredericton, N.B., expect that their season’s cut at the Victoria mill will total 11,000,000 feet. The Temiskaming & Northern Ontario Railway Commission have awarded John Cahill, of Bonfield, Ont., the contract for 275,000 rail- way ties, to be used in the con- struction of branch lines.

At a meeting of the Coast shingle manufacturers held at Vancouver, B.C., on Monday, December 3rd, it was decided to make an advance in shingle prices. The increase is fifteen cents on rail shipments and twenty-five cents on the coastwise trade. ee EE CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. ONTARIO. Lumber orders are still plentiful, although somewhat less than during the fall months. ‘‘ We will wel- come a quieter period, which will enable us to reduce the number of orders on our books,” said a promi- nent wholesaler, who added that the season had been the most active he had ever experienced. The factory demand has of late been quite a factor and would seem to indicate that consumers did not provide largely for their requirements when prices were lower. Toronto’s build- ing permits for the season have ex- ceeded $12,000,000, which means a large consumption of lumber by that No. 39. industry. The contract for next year’s supply of lumber for the Cor- poration of Toronto was awarded last week at prices much higher than those at which the contract was placed a year ago. Below are some of the figures : ; 1905. 1906. Pine, 12x12 in., 12 ft......$24 00 $27.50 Pine, 12x12 in., 24 ft,. ... 30.00 35.00 Hemlock, 12x12 in., 12 ft.. 16.50 21.75 Hemlock, 12x12 in., 20 ft.. 20.50 26.00 The present range of prices, it will be seen, is high, but there is a steadiness in values which is likely to continue in any case until the cut of 1907 comes onto the market. Of the course of prices after that time it is too early to speak, but it may be pointed out that the cost of logging this winter is estimated to be 10 to 15 per cent. higher than last winter, which has encouraged some buyers to contract for lumber at prevailing prices. WESTERN CANADA. There has been some falling off in the demand for lumber throughout Western Canada, but it has not been sufficient to enable the mills to ac- cumulate any stocks of consequence. The log scarcity in British Columbia has caused the closing down of some mills. Fir logs have been bought at $15 per thousand feet, and the high price has not seemed to stimu- late production as much as might be expected, and now unfavorable weather will interfere with opera- tions. We will be greatly surprised, however, if log prices should ad- vance much further, as the lumber manufacturers will no doubt en- deavor to keep lumber prices within reasonable bounds. Production during the winter months will prob- ably be carried on more vigorously than usual in order to accumulate a supply of lumber for the spring trade, and a number of new mills which are now nearing completion will also be a factor in the situation. Building operations in Winnipeg continue on a very large scale and there is a very urgent demand for finishing material. As announced elsewhere, British Columbia shingles were advanced on December 3rd fifteen cents for rail trade and twenty-five cents for coastwise trade. UNITED STATES. There is no indication of weak- ness in the white pine market. ~On 1S & the contrary, the manufacturers in the neighborhood of Minneapolis are disposed to make some further advances and are refusing to con- sider offers for lumber for delivery after the first of the year except on the basis of the new list. It ap- pears that stocks at the close of the year are likely to be below the average, although perhaps heavier than at the close of 1905, when the quantity on hand was the smallest in fifteen years. Stocks at Eastern wholesale centres are about normal. The Tonawandas will go into the winter season with perhaps 300,- 000,000 feet. A shortage may de- velop in the lower grades of white pine, tor which there has all season been an abnormal demand. Less firmness is shown by south- ern pine, and east of the Mississippi river there has been an actual weakening of prices. The situation in respect to this class of lumber is not altogether satisfactory, as in some sections there has been a considerable falling off in the de- mand. The consumption of hard- woods is on a large scale. In Wis- consin the supply is light in all kinds of lumber except birch, of which there is probably 100,000,000 feet of dry stock on hand. This is mov- ing very actively and is being sub- stituted for basswood and other hardwoods which are scarce. GREAT BRITAIN. The word ‘‘dullness” fittingly de- scribes the condition of the lumber trade in Great Britain. The deliver- ies from stock on hand again show -a diminution as compared with the previous week, for which unfavor- able weather has been in part re- sponsible. The c. i. f. prices in spruce are a shade easier on account of recent heavy arrivals, but it is not anticipated that there will be a further decline. Buyers are restrict- ing their orders, however, and do not as yet seem to realize that in order to secure the lumber they will have CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION to pay higher prices. The stock of spruce deals at Liverpool is only 13,450 standards, or less than 27,- 000,000 feet, as compared with 20,830 standards at the same time last year. White pine prices are firm and importers are holding out for full prices on account of the probability of smaller shipments -next year. STOCKS AND PRICES. The Pigeon River Lumber Com- pany, Port Arthur, Ont., expect to log about 10,000,000 feet of pine in Cook county, Minnesota. Most of the logs will be hauled out over the line of the Port Arthur, Duluth and Western road, which is owned by the Canadian Northern. It is estimated that 60,000,000 feet of logs wi!l be taken out this winter by firms located at Prince Albert, Sask. About half of this cut will be made by the British Columbia General Contracting Company, who have undertaken to get out 28,000,000, said to be the largest logging contract ever let east of the Rocky mountains. The production of logs in Ontario this winter will, under favorable conditions, probably equal that of last year. The Saginaw Lumber & Salt Company will take out about 30,000,000 feet; Loveland & Stone, at Cutler, about the same quantity; the Moulthrop Lumber Company, at John Island, 20,000,000 feet ;. Eddy Bros., at Blind River, 30,- 000,000; the Michigan Land & Lumber Company, Blind River, about 20,000,000; Holland § & Graves, Byng Inlet, probably 60,- 000,000 feet, and the Spanish River Lumber Company, Spanish River, about 20,000,000 feet.

We Are cutting mostly from our own limits, and our lumber is near- ly all exported. Our contracts are such that we must at times have logs to meet them promptly. Dur- ing the present season we have imported logs from Bellingham at a cost of $13.10 per thousand feet laid down at Chemainus. Of course, on our own limits we can produce them for less money, but the scarcity of loggers has greatly handicapped us. And $3.00 to $4.50 per day, which is regarded as very high pay for such work, does not guarantee that a camp will be supplied with labor steadily. For the past season we have had at times five or six donkey engines laying idle. Our limits are, how- ever, in good condition, and what we do not cut off now we will have for future work.” Mr. Palmer stated that men with whom he had made contracts for logs could not in manycases supply the quantity agreed upon, on ac- count of the scarcity of labor, instancing one case where he had contracted for 6,000,000 feet of logs but had only received 1,000,- ooo instead of the amount agreed upon.

ONTARIO No important changes in lumber prices are looked for during the early winter season and at the present time the market is quite featureless. Most of the white pine and hemlock lumber has pass- ed out of first hands. The element of strength which has characterized the trade of the fall months has become more pronounced each week, creating a certain amount of business between dealers. The de- mand continues very heavy for hem- lock and the lower grades of pine, and there is also a better feeling in respect to the higher qualities. British shippers have been negotiat- ing for-the deal production of the Ottawa Valley mills, but the in- creased prices asked by the manu- facturers have so far prevented the closing of contracts. Logging operations have been carried on under favorable conditions in most localities with the exception of the scarcity of labor, but this has now been relieved to some extent and the production promises tobe about equal to that of last year. The cost of producing logs will be from ten to fifteen per cent. greater, which increase is likely to be reflect- ed in lumber prices. B. C. shingles for Ontario de- livery are now quoted at $3.40 for XXX and $3.62 for XX XX. UNITED STATES. It is not expected that lumber prices will more than hold their own at this season of the year, when the demand usually slackens. It may be said, however, that during the past few weeks northern pine has made a general advance, ranging from 50 cents to $2 per thousand feet. Buyers who have sounded the market report that there is no indication of weakness and that higher prices are likely to prevail for next year’s production. No. 2 boards, eight and ten inch, are ‘bringing $25 to $25.50 at Chicago, which is the highest notch yet touched. Hemlock prices are equal- ly firm, although the supply is more plentiful, making it possible to fill orders more promptly. The out- look is tor an average consumption of pine and hemlock during the winter months unless severe weather should seriously interfere with outdoor operations. Hard- Tle - woods are meeting with a heavy inquiry, but there is still a fairly large stock of maple, birch and elm. ~Stocks are in strong hands and present prices are likely to be maintained. The curtailment in the output of red cedar shingles is having its effect on the market. The demand is good but shipping is slow on account of the car shortage. The supply of lath has increased per- ceptibly and conditions are favor- able for still higher prices. GREAT BRITAIN. The demand for lumber in Great Britain is still quiet, and buyers are indisposed to close contracts for future requirements. The high bank rate is no doubt a factor in the sit- uation, and in addition the stocks of European deals at London and some other points is somewhat larger than at the same time last year. Under the conditions it has been found difficult to ad- vance prices, with the result that little business has as yet been closed, and until either the buyer or seller is willing to grant some concessions, little activity need be expected. At the last auction sale 3 X 11 inch unassorted spruce from Halifax, N.S., sold at £8 5s per standard, and a small quantity of 2x 3 inch hemlock at £4 per standard. There has been no im- provement in birch, which is still heavily stocked. The highest price realized at the last public sale was 4os per load of 50 cubic feet, while timber under 16 inches sold as low as 35S. INCREASED COST OF SHINGLES. As mentioned in our last issue, the price of British Columbia cedar shingles was advanced on the 3rd inst. 15 cents per thousand for the rail trade and 25 cents per thous- and for the coastwise trade. This advance in price is, we believe, fully CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION justified. There are several reasons which warrant it. First, there is the unprecedented high price of logs and shingle bolts on the coast. This is caused, largely, by the high- er wages paid to men in the woods, and the scarcity of men even at the increased wage; also the high price of other materials that go to make up the cost of producing the shingle. Then the wages at the mills are continually increasing, and good men there, too, are hard to get and keep. Further, in the good times the men are more or less indifferent about retaining their jobs, and their consequent carelessness results in a deterioration of fully ten per cent. in their efficiency. Added to this is the constant loss of capital through mills being des- troyed by fire—a danger which is* ever present at the door of the saw- mill operator, so that in a period of ten or twenty years the manufac- turers find they have not made any- thing like just returns for their in- vestment, risk and worry. THE OTTAWA VALLEY. (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN). OrTawa, December 10, 1906.— A very firm market for every sort of lumber is what the dealers report. There is less bustle in shipping since the closing of the mills, but still not enough cars can be secured to supply the demand. In the last few days the car problem has not been quite so bad, however, and manufacturers believe the end of that trouble is near at hand. The Canadian agents of British import- ers cannot yet report any purchases of next season’s cut, though they have approachedsome of the lumber- men. . A leading manufacturer as- serts that the market is rising con- stantly and the British buyers have not yet come near the figures asked by the Ottawa lumber manu- facturers. , The outlook is that’ a _ great HEMLOCK SPECIAL We are prepared to fill, ‘ Hemlock, in all lengths 10 to 24 feet. on short notice, bills in Stock sizes now ready.

Pine and spruce stocks are low and pri¢es are firm. When J. R. Booth’s lumber mill closed near the end of November he was able to start the pulp mill which had been idle a couple of months owing to lack of power. Anchor ice is still a hindrance to steady work, but Mr. Booth will not try to fight it this season. -The most satisfactory plan is found -to be closing the mill completely until the obstacles move away. He has started operations in the new paper mill, running part of the machinery. Mr. James Reid, M. P. for Resti- gouche, N. B., who is an extensive lumber manufacturer, has just re- turned from the Old Country and is assuming his duties in the House of Commons. He informs the CANADA LUMBERMAN that the past season was a record one for large produc- tion and high prices in the Province of New Brunswick. The next sea- son he believes will be better. The United States buyers are taking immense quantities of shingles and lath and the English market can- not be over-supplied with the larger lumber. The preliminary inquest arising out of the strike riot in the James MacLaren mill at Buckingham, Que., had just begun before Judge Choquette of Montreal when Mr. Albert MacLaren, president of the company, was discharged, he being among those arraigned for man- slaughter. The decision in the case of Alexander MacLaren has not yet been given. Mr. J. E. Vallillee, the company’s manager, was tried for neglecting to read the Riot Act in the capacity of Mayor of the town, but the Crown withdrew the charge THE GANADA WOOD SPEGIALTY Go., Limited, MANUFACTURERS: ; Lumber, Hardwood Flooring, Handles, Poles, Bed Frame Stock, Cheese Box Hoops, Heading, Baskets, Etc. . .

The Mayorhas since taken action against Yvon Lamon- tague, the union men’s counsel, for __ alleged defamation of character and sworn out a warrant against Cyril Tourangeau on the ground that he committed perjury in swearing that Mr. Vallillee was with the police during the affray. Six strikers have been committed for trial on the charges of manslaughter and riotous conduct and are out on $1,200 bail each.

Lumber freight rates between Oregon and Washington ports and California ports have advanced to $9 per thousand feet, with a fair _ prospect for an additional dollar being added before the turn of the year. Such exorbitant freight rates __ of course are quite burdensome to the consumer, but until there is a slackening in the demand for lum- ber or an increase in the tonnage available, there will be no relief. Deep water freights are abnormally low all over the world, on account of an over-supply of tonnage. As _ aresult says the Portland Oregon- jan, there is an abundance otf first _ class foreign shipping in all Pacific coast ports as well as elsewhere which is now idle and can be bought at very low figures. A large amount of this tonnage could be used to great advantage in our coast-wise trade at this time, but, owing to the antiquated restrictions of our absurd navigation laws, our capital- CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION ists are prevented from purchasing it, as American registry and the right to engage in the coasting trade is forbidden by our laws. As an illustration of the practical workings of this policy, the case of the British steamship Duneric, now in port, is interesting. Sailing under a foreign flag, this vessel cannot load outward at Portland for a coastwise port. She has ac- cordingly been chartered to go to British Columbia and load lumber for San Francisco at $6 per thous- and feet, or $3 per thousand less than the rate paid by the shippers on the American side of the line. It, of course, does not follow that the California consumer will secure his lumber $3 per thousand feet cheaper, for, while theoretically he profits by the opening of a wider field of supply, most of the advant- age of a cheaper freight is offset by the tariff of $2 per thousand feet which the considerate government levies against Canadian lumber. THE GLASGOW MARKET. The following particulars of the Glasgow market are furnished by Edmiston & Mitchells in their monthly circular of November 3oth: * Business during the past month has been unusually quiet, owing largely to the unfortunate strike in the shipbuilding trade, and though that has now been amicably adjust- ed, it has not so far assisted matters much, and the prevailing impres- sion seems to be that no great im- provement need be looked for this year. The November import has been on the whole very moderate, and as the St. Lawrence shipments may now be said to be at an end, it is possible to form some idea of the unsold stock of Quebec goods held in the various public yards. That the stock of 2nd, 3rd and 4th pine deals will be unprecedently light is’ certain, but there is likely to be an ample supply of the 1st pine deals and sidings to fill the market’s re- quirements.

As to Quebec log timber, there will be a considerable reduction from last year in all items, except pro- bably elm and birch. The position as regards prices is very firm all around, and every- thing points to their being main- tained throughout the winter; in- deed, it only requires a more act- ive, demand to immediately bring about a tendency to higher values. There has been a fair import and a moderate demand for American hardwoods during the past month, but prices have not moved appreci- ably, and the higher grades of pop lar and oak are now so dear that consumption has been considerably checked of late. WuiteE Pine.—There has been no import during the month, and the only sale which transpired consisted of 120 logs large deckwood to one of the local shipbuilders. There has been little or no demand for square timber. Stocks are moderate and values steady. . Oak.-— Business during the month has been very quiet, and no trans- actions of any importance are re- ported. The stock on hand to carry over the close season is very moder- ate, and on this account values are very firm. : E_m.—Any business passing has been of a purely retail nature, and little impression has been made on stocks, which are fully ample for the market’s prospective requirements. QuesBec BircH.—The import dur- ing November has been of a trifling character. The stock of logs is be- ing gradually reduced, but there is still a considerable quantity unsold on hand, and sales have only been made by making concessions in price. Shippers have been already quoting for next year’s delivery but so far no business has transpired in logs There is more enquiry for Quebec planks for next season’s shipment. N. B. Brrcu.—A few retail sales are reported from time to time of ul 15-inch average logs, but the demand is slow and prices are easy. In planks some small sales have been made at as low as £7 15s per standard yarded. The stock on hand unsold is still considerable. Asu.—A few small lots of logs and planks arrived during the month, mostly of indifferent quality, some of which were sold from the quay and some stored. For the most part prices were unsatisfactory, but perhaps were ample for the quality. THE RECORD CAR LOAD. FassETT, QuE., Dec. 8, 1906.

C Mc- Comb, of Oshkosh, Wis., through Cameron Brown, of London, Ont. Over half of these lands were own- ed by a group of Canadians who had held them since 1873. The consideration was in the neighbor- hood of $250,000. The Searcy, Arkansas, Citizen, commenting on the sale, says: ‘‘This large pur- chase, following closely after the Stecher sale of 15,000 acres for $150,000, indicates that timber men everywhere are alive to the great resources of Arkansas’ richest county. All available timber lands are being rapidly bought up and prices appear to be steadily increas- ing.” Planing and Matching ——IN TRANSIT— S.

ONTARIO Not much new business is being placed at the present time, but the mills are still busy filling orders. Stocks are considerably broken and some difficulty is being experienced ‘on that account. The tone of the market is exceptionally strong, with indications that there will be no weakening during the winter months. Contracts for next seas- on’s production are now receiving consideration, and we understand that a few of the mills have already sold at an advace over the prices at which the past year’s cut was dis- posed of. Dealers are showing considerable eagerness to close contracts, but the manufacturers are disposed to wait until the extent of the log production can be more accurately estimated. Offers have been made varying from two to four dollars higher than the ruling prices for the 1906 cut. Even this has not been sufficient to tempt the manufacturers to sell, wnich is evidence that no decline in prices is anticipated. Enquiries for red pine appear to be getting more numerous, and, with no break in the general lumber market, stock is likely to find a ready sale. There is a good consumption of hard- woods for factory purposes, and if the log production this winter should be on conservative lines, as now seems probable, present prices should improve somewhat. EASTERN CANADA. Firmness characterizes the lumber market of Eastern Canada. -In Montreal the demand for building material has-been so heavy that the stocks in retail yards are badly broken, and during the winter months it is probable that advances will be made on certain items which are found to be generally scarce. The outlook for New Bruaswick - and Nova Scotia spruce isconsidered good. One large firm have advised us that they have already received orders which will cover to a large extent their entire cut for next season. Spruce is not high, and considering the cost of logging, present prices should at least be maintained. New Brunswick shingles are not showing much activity, although sales are still being made for Boston delivery on the basis of $3.60 for Extras. Earlier in the season the weather — was not favorable for logging opera- tions, but the recent cold weather, © accompanied by snow, has made conditions for both skidding and hauling about perfect. Present indications are that the production of logs in new Brunswick and Nova Scotia will be slightly less than last season. WESTERN CANADA. - Unfavorable weather has checked the consumption of lumber in west- ern Canada, but the situation in respect to prices is still very strong. The manufacturers of British Colum- bia have just decided upon a further advance owing to the great scarcity and excessive cost of logs. The ruling price for fir logs is $13 and as high as $15 has been paid, — I al CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY’ EDITION December 19, 1906 ———— eS een which makes it absolutely necessary to advance lumber prices if the manufacturer is to show a profit on his‘ operations. Shingle bolts are also scarce andit is understood that most of the shingle mills on the Coast will shut down shortly for a period of a month or six weeks. As asimilar shut down has been decided upon by the Washington mills, the production of shingles will be greatly curtailed and _ still higher prices may result. UNITED STATES. Notwithstanding that this is the quiet season, lumber prices continue to hold strong and in some instances have been advanced. The white pine manufacturers of Minnesota, for instance, have recommended the following advances: 2x10 and 2x12, 50 cents ; 2x14, $1.50. All 4-inch boards, 50 cents ; all 6-inch boards, Nos. 1, 2 and 3, $1. Eight-inch, 10-inch and 12-inch boards, No. 1, 50 cents. Wide No. 1 boards, $2. Ejight-inch No. 2, $1; 10-inch No. 2, $1. Twelve- inch No. 2, $150. Wide No. 2, $2. Eight-inch No. 3, 10-inch No. 3, 12-inch No. 3 and wide No. 3, $1. No. 4 boards, 50 cents. The demand for box material is quite urgent, which has brought about an advance of about $1 per thousand. Buffalo and Tonawarda dealers are carrying about the same amount of stock as last winter. They report some buying for Jan- uary shipment, but there is a dis- position to defer purchases until after the turn of the year. The demand for spruce is not as active as a few weeks ago, but prices are firm and likely to remain around the present basis for the next few weeks. The hardwood trade shows continued strength. In Wisconsin and Michigan the heaviest call is for birch and basswood, followed by maple and elm. The Hardwood Mauufacturers’ Association of the United States have recommended a new list, showing a number of advances, in which log run soft elm is placed at $22.50 for one-inch and’ $24 for 14% and 1¥%-inch; log run soft maple, $22 for one-inch and $24 for 1 to 2-inch ; and No. 1 common paacwenel $25 for one-inch, $27 for 144 and 1%-inch, and $28 for 2-inch. GREAT BRITAIN The British lumber market is steady but very uninteresting, as the financial stringency has elimin- ated for the present and buying he- yond actual requirements. Con- sumption is also unsatisfactory and importers are consequently not anxious to increase their stocks. It is fortunate that the imports for the past season were light, as sup- plies are now about as large as the market can stand. .The stock of Quebec pine deals at Liverpool, Birkenhead and Garston is 9,920 standards, compared with 14,150 standards a year ago. This is a substantial decrease, but cn the other hand the stock of New Bruns- wick spruce deals is larger by 4,000 standards. The market for birch is still weak and until the present ac- cumulation is considerably reduced | no decided change may be expected. The figures concerning the stock on hand are conclusive evidence in this respect. The stock of birch logs at Liverpool is 108,000 cubic cubic feet, compared with 8,000 feet a year ago, and of birch planks 158,000 cubic feet against 32,000 cubic feet a year ago. Manchester has a stock of 162,000 cubic feet of Birch planks, while a year ago it was only 18,000 -cubic feet. The price for Quebec birch, as quoted by Alfred Dobell & Com- pany, is 1s. 8d. to 2s. 2d. per cubic foot. STOCKS AND PRICES.

Shingle receipts were 239,520,- 000, and 279,415,000 respectively. COOPERAGE STOCK. Business during October and November, says the Sutherland- Innes Company, of Chatham, Ont., has brightened up _ considerably, and there has been considerable demand for all classes of cooperage stock. There was quite a little spurt in October in apple barrel stock, but it is now over, the freeze at the end of October having hurt the apples that were still unpicked to such an extent that there are only very few sections where they are being barreled. Both flour barrel and sugar barrel stock is in good demand, with very little offered on the market. High- grade stock is especially hard to obtain, and there seems to be very little on hand to offer. No. 2 staves are also in fair demand, much better than they have been through the preceding months of the year. The demand for hoops has _ natu- rally slackened off somewhat on account of the apple barrel stock demand being over ; but still there is a fairly good demand for hoops, and at prices that are remunerative to the manufacturers. No. 1theading is particularlyscarce, and there does not appear to be enough to satisfy the demand. The lower grades of heading are also in fairly good demand, and there is not such a scarcity as there is in No. 1 stock.

OSWECO N.Y, different mills are lighter than they have been for two years, and there — will be no relief until the new stock — comes in in the spring, with the exception of hoops, which will be made more or less during the winter. It is not likely that any of the mills~ will stock up heavily this winter to make cooperage stock, _ but those who are equipped for lumbering will only run cooperage stock as a sideline, unless they can obtain very much higher prices — than they have done for scme time — a past, as lumber brings a good deal more money. Tight barrel stock of all kinds — continues in excellent demand, and stock is very light. The export demand is especially heavy on account of the good wine crop i tinue for some time. .

C., December 238. each, 1906.—‘‘Conditions in the ea | lumber -industry are serious just ee “now,” was the remark this morning ofa ‘Wwell- known local millman. ‘‘In a shingles, bolts are so scarce that = the prices are soaring, and as high as $5.50 is being paid. There is 4 no established price, for if they are wanted badly a man has to pay. Ate Because of the various conditions, ‘city of labor, being one, the ‘ mills will all close from December - 22nd until the end of January. The shingle mills on the other side of - the line will be closed for even a _ longer period. . ‘**Prices of -shingles, too, have been raised 15 cents all round. This makes the XXX brand $2.20. The prices are now about ona par with those prevailing in Washing- > «* Etomstate. “In the lumber part of the in- dustry, it is a question what. we are going to do about logs. The regular price now is $13 per thou- ‘sand, while $10 was thought high less than a year ago. | know . _ imstances of where $15 has been paid. Of course, there is but one sequel to this, and that is an in- crease in the lumber prices. With logs at even $13 it is not a profit- able business to be supplying rough -’ lumber at $16, and when the Associ- 2 ation meets on Thursday afternoon next an advance will be the most important subject discussed. It will very probably be made.”’ A feature of the export trade in lumber just now is the quantity . which is being shipped to San Francisco. It is also an indication ; of the great demand when Puget ‘Sound mills cannot supply what is _ required. The steamer Bessie Dollar i is taking three million feet ae ey CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION from Chemainus, and the steamer Duneric will arrive this week to load a million and a quarter feet at the Hastings mill. Mr. Palmer, manager of the Victoria Lumber and Manufacturing Co., at Chemainus, states that about 70,000,000 feet was cut at his establishment this year, most of which was exported. During the season he has had to import logs from Bellingham at a cost of $13.10 per thousand laid down at Che- mainus, but the greatest handicap was the scarcity of loggers. Owing to this reason, contracts for logs, for the mill could not be filled. Owing to the high price ot logs, there was little profit.in lumber, and his company has not paid a dividend in its fifteen years of operations at Chemainus. Of course, its interests have largely been increased during that time. D. B. Brooks, M. J. Scanlon, of Minneapolis, and W. H. McWil- liams, of Winnipeg, of the Brooks- Scanlon Lumber Company, are in the city to-day. Mr. Scanlon stated to your correspondent that they were out to buy some desirable mill property. The Rat Portage Com- pany’s mill at Harrison has been under their consideration, and since arriving in the city on Fri- day evening they had been looking at the mill of the Pacific Coast Lumber Company in Vancouver. He stated that no deal had yet been completed. An instance of the extention of the operations of the large Ameri- can companies which have lately come to British Columbia is the purchase of 22,000 acres. of timber near Vernon by the Elk River Lumber and Manufacturing Com- pany, of Fernie. The company will build a mill on the main line of the C. P. R., near Sicamous to cut .this timber. The B. F. Graham Lumber Com- pany, composed of New Mexico and California capitalists, will build a mill at Port Renfrew, Vancouver Island, which will cut for export.

LUMBER INCREASE On the 13th inst. prices of British Columbia Lumber were advanced from two to three dollars per thousand. The cause assigned for the advance is the scarcity of logs, the scarcity and high price of labor for the camps. HARDWOODS ARE STRONG. - The trade in hardwood is fairly satisfactory, says the Hardwood Record, with light stocks of dry lumber in dealers’ hands and a much firmer range of prices than obtained earlier in the season. Not a great deal of ash is produced here this year and it has command- ed a ready sale. Maple is doing better. During: the early months either two.much maple was pro- duced or there was not enough of it wanted, and it was the weakest commodity in the hardwood sit. But later in the season it bright- ened up and it is now in greater favor. Beech has done well and is quoted about $1.00 a thousand better than during the early months. There is also a better movement in birch, which was neglected early in the year. There is a good call for basswood and prices have materially improved. There is every prospect of a diminution of the output of Michigan and Wisconsin hardwoods during the coming winter and, as it is well known, dry stock on hand being short, there will be a scramble for mafle, birch, elm and beech be- fore there is any new stock on the market. Generally speaking the entire hardwood lumber situation is ° strong. TIMBER LIMIT TRANSACTIONS. It is learned that the purchaser of the timber limit sold recently by William Potter & Sons, of Totten. ham, Ont., was J. H. Kratz, of Vineland. The timber is situated about four miles north of Schom- berg, and is known as the Coffey Oak bush. It contains about ninety tii acres, on which it is estimated there is 600,000 feet of white oak, 6c0,- 000 ft. rock elm, 300,000 ft. of white pine, and 500,000 feet of mixed timber, a total of 2,000,000 feet. The purchaser intends putting a mill on the property and manufactur- ing the timber. A timber deal is in prospect which will probably mean the establish- ment of still another saw mill tor the west coast of Vancouver Island —at Sooke. Seattle capitalists are seeking to purchase from the C. P. R. eleven miles of timber limits on the Sooke River. The deal would have been completed some time ago but for a disagreement with regard to the purchasers’ rights.on the Sooke River, where it runs through the property. The capita- lists, if the negotiations are succes- fully concluded, will run their logs on the Sooke River and it is stated their intention is to erect asawmill at the village of Sooke or there- abouts. .

Lumber manufacturers through- out the Dominion have received a request from the publishers of this journal for information respecting the past year’s operations, to en- able us to compile our annual re- view of the lumber trade to be pub- lished in the February number. Many manufacturers have already responded, and it is hoped that those who have neglected to do so will forward the information upon reading this If any manufacturers failed to receive a circular, kindly consider this an invitation to send us particulars of your output and any other infor- mation pertinent the year’s reminder. to operations. CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. ONTARIO. “Wide fluctuations in prices of lumber are not expected at this season of the year, when the con- sumption is usually light. The activity which has been _so_ pro- nounced all year is still in evidence, however, as a quantity of stock has yet to be shipped out. A visitor to the mills in Western Ontario will find that most of the lumber has passed out of first hands, so that present negotiations pertain in large measure to the cut of 1907. Prices, we believe, will be consider- ably higher than those at which the 1906 production was sold. We know of sales of white pine at an advance of ten per cent., while some manufacturers are even asking an increase of twenty per cent. Buyers are showing more anxiety to acquire stocks than was evinced a year ago, notwithstanding the high prices. We are told of the refusal of an offer of $19 per thousand for saw logs delivered on the Georgian Bay, which would indicate that the owner had confidence in his ability to sell at a higher figure. A price in the neighborhood of $20 for logs,, even if of superior quality, means very high-priced lumber. * Hardwoods are steady, with an average consumption for finishing Ft. purposes. The outlook for prices seems. good, asstocks are materially liebter than at the close of 1905. The input of hardwood logs will of course depend largely upon the quantitv of snow and _ duration of _sleighing. EASTERN CANADA. The Eastern trade has now settled down to a winter basis. The con- umption of lumber locally is very good, but shipments to the United States are falling off, while the export. trade to Great Britain is confined to the regular liners from St. John and Halifax. Considerable attention is now being given to next vear’s prices and we learn from Quebec that there has been an ad- vance in white pine, oak, elm and ash timber. For first class Ottawa waney pine, 18 inch average, 62 to 68 cents is asked, and for Michigan and Ohio oak 55 to 60 cents. Birch prices are lower on account of the weakness of this class of timher in the British market, the ruling prices being 18 to 20 cents per cubie foot for 14 inch and 26 to 29 cents for 16 inch. There is much uncertainty as to the prices which will rule next season for spruce deals, but in view of the high cost of production, a strong effort will no doubt be made to hold prices at the present basis, and if the British market should improve, an advance would seem to be in order. New Brunswick shingles are quiet, selling on the basis of $3.50 $3.60 for Extras, Boston delivery. WESTERN CANADA. At the regular meeting of the British Columbia Lumber and Shingle Manufacturers’ Association on December 13th the prices of Jumber were advanced $1 on rougher grades to $3 onhbetter. This puts rough lumber at the record price of $17 per thousand. Prices will re- main firm until spring, if no other ~ markable Spruce is not active but prices are CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION increases are made. Scarcity of logs is the principal cause of the advance and at the present time there is no indication that the log famine is near an end. UNITED STATES. The position of the lumber market is strong, with the current demand well distributed. There is a natural disposition at this season of the year to defer purchases until after the holidays, but not- withstanding this fact, considerable business is being booked. While white pine prices are doubtless high, there are no indications at present of any decline, and if for any reason the log supply should be short, there would undoubtedly bea further advance in prices. Some of the largest dealers and con- sumers are therefore willing to cover their requirements at present prices, with the result that no small percentage of the cut of next year has already been contracted for. Trade at Buffalo and Tonawanda is good, with an improved demand for cutting-up grades. The scar- city of the lower grades of pine has forced the substitution of hem- Icck, which continues to exhibit re- firmness. Trade _ in steady. It is claimed that the cut of spruce logs this winter will be lighter than usual on account of the scarcity of -woodsmen in_ that territory. The shingle market is in a very healthy condition. Buffalo and Tonawanda have a light supply of red cedar, and there is therefore a ready market for white cedar and white pine, while some hemlock shingles have recently found buyers. GREAT BRITAIN. Lumber stocks in Great Britain have accumulated somewhat dur- ing the past three months, and the year is drawing to a close with the supply ‘ rather heavy when one WE beg to announce to the trade that we have been appointed Canadian Agents for GEORGE W.

The importation from Russia, Finland, and Norway has been large, the stock of foreign deals in the public docks at London being 2,452,000 pieces, against 1,720,000 pieces a year ago. The statistical position of pine and spruce deals is more favorable, but the market for these has been affected by the heavy stock of foreign lumber. . Importers have not yet closed contracts for next year’s requirements, al- though it seems to be generally admitted that prices are likely to be higher. The high bank rate, how- ever, is an adverse influence on business, indicating as it does a scarcity of money. Shippers are finding it very difficult to induce importers to consider offers of birch, as the business during the past year was very unsatisfactory and early buyers were as a rule heavy losers. Birch prices may recede a little further, but the person who buys at present values and carries the stock will likely be able to make a good profit in the transac- tion. STOCKS AND PRICES. George H. Belton, of London Ont., has secured the contract for the lumber required for the new Storage building fer the McClary Manufacturing Company.

It is learned from the Upper _ Ottawa Improvement Company __ that there are more logs in the river _ than this time last year.

About the middle of January a new steamer will be _ delivered at Pembroke for the use of this company, and another one will be delivered about the middle of February. These are small -ves- sels and are being manufactured in ~ Toronto, to help with the drive next season. ; There is an active demand for shanty teams in Ottawa. On > wag : ie ae. * J December 27th the-Turner Lumber Company will take away forty eams to Georgian Bay. The wages are from $2 to $2.50, transportation paid both ways.. The Parry Sound Lumber Company and Holland & Graves are also securing horses in Ottawa. Owing to the high price of hay—$18 a ton—in Ottawa there is a desire to get the horses away, if possible. Lumbermen find the expense of feeding the horses a heavy addition to the cost of shanty operations, With the exception of a few loaders the Ottawa Valley firms are amply supplied with men. ONTARIO LOGGING OPERATIONS. A subscriber of the Canapa LUMBERMAN writes as follows :— “In conversation with lumber- men from the north, they tell me that there is 18 inches of snow at the Soo, and the thermometer has been 28° below ; in the Lake Super- ior region two feet, and in some places three feet of snow. There are plenly of men now and no diffi- culty in getting all the help needed. Everything is in good shape and ready to commence hauling as soon as they get up the quantity of logs. Sawlogs will be high this coming season. I know of $19.00 per thousand delivered © in Georgian Bay being refused, and I - would not be surprised to see logs selling for $21.00 to $22.00 per thousand for real good stock, on the Geor- gian Bay. Prospects for getting out the stocks are bright, and every one is feeling good.” The Pembroke Lumber Company, Pembroke, Ont., expect to deliver to their mill next season 20,000,000 feet of pine, spruce and hemlock. They have considerable dimension timber coming in early from their Petewawa limits. —— The Miramichi Lumber Com- pany, which took control of the William Richards property on the Miramichi, in New Brunswick, will take out about thirty-five million feet of logs this winter.
