CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The lumber market is showing
considerable strength, for which
the heavy local consumption is
largely responsible. 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 OTTAWA VALLEY.
(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. Ritchie of
Aylmer, had to leave considerable
_ portions of their drives in the Pete-
_ wawa river, while in the Coulonge
river are to be found much of the
_ timber cut last winter by the Gillies
Bros., Gilmour & Hughson and the
W. C. Edwards Company. The
way in which the logs come into the
Ottawa river for delivery to the
_ mills has made it impossible to sup-

ply all the manufacturers regularly.
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. Owing to the ad-
vances in the cost of labor and
equipment for the shanties the
manufacturers must ask what

BUILDING OPERATIONS.
The remarkable activity in build-
ing operations throughout Canada
is shown by the permits granted in
the cities of Winnipeg, Montreal

peg had issued 2,484 permits, re-
presenting a value of $9,500,000.
The figures at same date last year

real show an increase over the
whole of last year. The total

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. Shingles — The

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
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

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

_ September 19, 1906
to compare the number of pieces of
timber with other years the increase
would be extraordinary, for the
timber is being made from smaller
trees every year. 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

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

saw-dust from the lumber mill will
keep the factory supplied in fuel
during eight months of the year.
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

«She LONG LUMBER. 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.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
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.

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

The City Council of Winnipeg
have accepted the tender of D. E.

struction in Toronto.
The Bell Telephone Co. last week
let their western pole contract for
the 1977 season. The successful
parties are J. L. Hyland & Com-
pany, of Winnipeg, and the contract
amounts to around 100,000 pules,
being one of the largest pole con-
tracts ever let in the west. Not
less than 50 per cent. of thes peoles
will be furnished from British Col-
umbia and coast points.

big timbers. The Fernie Lumber
Company have completed the cut-
ting of a million feet of small tim-
bers for the Grand Trunk Pacific.
This railway company is bringing
considerable business to the coast.
In the north, near its proposed ter-
minus, a number of mills are start-
ing,-and the Georgetown mills and
those at Port Essington have re-
ceived large orders for ties. 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.
With the last purchase of the
Kamloops Lumber Company by
Americans, all the large lumber in-
dustries in the interior are now con-
trolled by people from the United
States, with the exception of the
Columbia River Lumber Company
at Golden. Within the last month,
the Lamb Syndicate of Minneapolis
took over the interests of the Arrow-
head Lumber Company and
S. H. Bowman has purchased the
three mills and various yards of the

connection with their Spruce output.
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.

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.

(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.

The cedar shingle trade is un-
marked by any important change.
The demand for export to the
Eastern States is brisk and steady
in Extras and Clears, but for 2nd
Clears, Extra No. 1’s and No 1’s
the call is exceedingly light; the
volume of shipments in the latter
lines having been infinitesimal thus
far during the season. In the better
grades, stocks are somewhat belc
the average (1,800,000 would about
cover the total), but in the lower
grades, trade has been —_
stocks have consequently multi

namely, $2.90 and $2.40 for non-
dutiable Extras and Clears respect-

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-

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

HARDWOODS.
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.

bados market are reported by S. P.

from Shelburne, N. S., with 190,-
ooo feet of white pine, both cargoes
to our care. 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.”

_ 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.

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.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
Hoops maintain their price fairly
well. 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.

MILLIONS OF LUMBER BURNED.
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.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS,
ONTARIO.
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.

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

consumption will necessitate at least
a continuance of current rates. 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. For ordinary
choppers, the wages paid range
from $28 to $30 per month, and
even though willing to pay these
figures, many operators are short-
handed. !
Speaking generally, contractors
are obtaining somewhat higher
prices for logs, in most cases 25
cents and in some cases 50 cents
per thousand feet.
Just at present, the spruce lath

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
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.

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.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION

BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
; (Correspondence of the Canapa LUMBERMAN.)
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.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The strength of the lumber situ-
ation is now so universally admitted
that not a pessimistic word is heard.
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.

irch is showing a little more

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

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-

moderate demand for stock, the

out, especially on heading. Hoops,
of course, are being made right
along, and will be made in large
quantities as long as the favorable
weather for trucking hoop logs
continues.’ Stocks of staves, how-
ever, are decreasing rapidly, and
there.is likely to be a considerable
shortage of staves, if there is even
a moderate demand for apple barrel

for other classes of material.”

‘“‘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 better qualities are the scarcest.
The large sales of basswood are due ;
partially to the substitution of this oo
brand of lumber for the higher-
priced article, and the market is
also affected by the general keen ~
demand for lumber. The demand
for spruce also continues good, and
despite advances in priceS buyers
are anxious to place orders. Spruce
commands three dollars a thousand <
more than it did last year. ;
W. B. Bartram & Company,
who handle birch, basswood and
spruce, find that their sales for the ~
season will be double what they
were in 1905. The firm raised prices
on spruce Jast week, but the increase
did not discourage buyers. Almost
75 per cent. of the Bartram Com- =
pany’s spruce is going tothe United __
States. There isan unusually large
number of inquiries for 8x 14% and ms
g x 1\4, but all varieties aresought
eagerly. On account of the many. Ree,

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

hung in the Grand Falls section, is
a mere matter of conjecture.
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.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
It is now generally conceded that
there is likely to be a shortage in
the supply of white pine lumber for
the winter and spring trade. 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.
The scarcer the logs, the higher the

price, and millmen cannot afford to
pay the increase altogether. 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.

Pe . 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

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-

_ The continued strength of the

"so great that in most classes of

- would be difficult some days to

years ago millions of feet would be

conditions are not likely to change
hurriedly either. A representative
Ottawa dealer expressed his opinion
to the CANADA LuMBERMAN as fol-

_ 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.
The James McLaren Company
mill at Buckingham is still running
with 60 hands, who are protected
by 33 special policemen. -Most of

Kiln Dried,
Send us a trial car
months ago have gone to work in
the shanties for other lumbermen.
The McLarens have as many men
as they are able to secure. 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. It originally
belonged to C. P. Easton, and has
been controlled during the last few
vears by the New York State Na-
tional Bank of Albany, N.Y. The

transaction, which amounts to about
half a million dollars, all of it Ger-
man capital, was brought about by
Mr. E. van der Osten, of Toronto.
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. Several
months after the purchase the new
owners sold the Jervis Inlet section
of the limits to the Merrill interests
for $37,000. This left the Elk Bay
limits and the mill, which have now
been sold for $100,000.

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.

The steamer ‘‘Nemea”, from St.

The Peter McLaren Lumber Com-
pany, of Blairmore, Alberta, are

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. There
is practically no change in the

CaNADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
THE BRITISH LUMBER MARKET.
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

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

continue, and the.
the roads are impassable because of
mud. 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.

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.”

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.

LOG PRICES STILL HIGHER.
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.

SHINGLE PRICES ADVANCED.
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.

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.

WShe a. as
‘“We shall cut this year about
70,000,000 feet of lumber, our mill’s
capacity being that much or more.
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.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
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

States. 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

HIGH FREIGHT RATES.
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. The stock of spruce

is moderate, but red pine deals are
sufficient for the poor demand.
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.

TIMBER LIMIT TRANSACTIONS.
Arkansas newspapers last week
reported the sale of about 30,000
acres of hardwood lands in White
county, that state, to A. 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.”

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
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.

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.

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

ae : BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
ae as — of the Canaba LUMBERMAN.)
a rors Vancouver, B. 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

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.

PRICES OF B.C. 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.

TO LUMBER MANUFACTURERS.
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

considers the light consumption.
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.

_ have been for many months. There
_ are no easy bargains at all for the
_ buyers. Manufacturers express the
_ opinion that quotations are likely to
_ advance a little before Spring, but
_ that a decline may come then.
_ Birch is in good demand and
_ there is a fair supply in the Ottawa
_ Valley. While a few sales have
taken place at low figures, most
_ manufacturers are able to get excep-
~ tionally good prices for their stock.
_ The Hurdman & Elmitt Company
have an excellent lot of dry birch at
Maniwaki, Que., ready for immed-
_ tate shipment. This is quoted at
from $18 to $22 a thousand. It is
_ the millrun with the mill culls out
- and is rich in firsts and seconds.
_ Sales are being made considerably
_ lower than this, but the stock is
__ probably inferior.
e* >. Lath is reported scarce, though
_ the high price which has ruled for a
_ long time is not yet surpassed.
_ Buyers have difficulty in getting the
_ best shingles, but there is a good
wr supply of XX 18-inch.
J. R. Booth will resume sawing
_ in a few days. The mill will be
_ Supplied with logs brought down
zB by train from Madawaska district.
_ The water power has improved
_ sufficiently at the Chaudiere to en-
able Mr. Booth to Operate his pulp
_ mill, and as soon as the machinery
_ is made to work Satisfactorily, his
Paper mill which adjoins the lumber
_ yard will be running.
It is learned from the Upper
_ Ottawa Improvement Company
__ that there are more logs in the river
_ than this time last year. The man-
_ ufacturers along the Ottawa will
_ have more old material on hand
when the spring opens than they
hadin the past. 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

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.
