CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,
It is difficult to give a statement of the
lumber market that will show the true
situation, but it may be said with certain-
ty that the tendency of white pine prices
is upwards. Very few manufacturers are
now issuing price lists, for the reason
that they have not sufficient stock to
offer. Almost every grade is well sold
out, the heaviest stocks, perhaps, being
in mill culls and common pine plank.
Prices of the higher grades have shown a
wide fluctuation during the past two
weeks, as some manufacturers are ap-
parently more impressed than others
with the scarcity of these grades, and are
asking correspondingly higher _ prices.
This is also true in respect to lath and
shingles, as is demonstrated by the fact
that an Ottawa valley manufacturer is
asking $3.50 for No.1 lath at the mill.
This figure, however, does not represent
the average market quotation. There is
considerable inquiry for stock for future
delivery, and the trade are inclined to
the opinion that prices next season will
be fully as high as in 1901.
In hardwoods there has been some im-
provement. Carload shipments of elm,
birch and maple to the United States are
being regularly made by manufacturers
in the Wiarton district, and it is said that
the inspection has not been as severe as
last year, thus indicating a stronger mar-
ket, It is nowcertain that fewer hard-
wood logs will be taken out this season
than last winter, as millmen are begin-
ning torealize that it 1s more profitable
to leave the timber on the stump than it
is to sell it as lumber when prices are low
and inspection hard.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Late report from the eastern provinces
seem to show that conditions are quite
favorable for spruce lumber. Stocks in
most districts are below what they were
one year ago, while enquiries for next
year’s cut are quite numerous. South
American specifications are much in
favor, and if the demand should continue
large shipments will be made to that
country next season. Full prices are being
asked and will no doubt be obtained, as
the log supply is likely to be small and
insufficient to keep the mills at work
throughout the season. Cedar shingles
continue strong, on the basis of $3.30 tor
extras, Boston delivery. Ocean freights
have fallen and are dull, while rajl
freights to the United States rule high,
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COI.UMBIA.
The lumber movement at the present
time is confined largely to finishing
material. This is comparatively large, as
building operations in Winnipeg during
the past year were on an extensive scale.
There is a good outlook for next spring,
as retail dealers are not heavily stocked.
British Columbia mills continue busy.
Several vessels are loading at Chemainus
for Australia. The freight market has
Strengthened considerably, the rate be-
ing fully three shillings higher than six
weeks ago. There is an exceptionally
strong demand for cedar logs. More
camps than usual are at work, and a scar-
city of men is reported. It is feared that
there will be a break in the shingle mar-
ket owing to the increased production
resulting from the several new mills about
to be put into operation.
UNITED STATES.
The holiday season has curtailed the
lumber demand, but the market has lost
none of its strength. On the other hand,

CANADA UCUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.
the year closes with high prices and the
outlook favorable for a continuation of a
firm and advancing market. This applies
to almost every class of lumber, with white
pine occupying the first position. The
upper grades are so scarce that it is im-
possible to find a sufficient quantity to.
meet the requirements of the market,
while the lower grades are gradually be-
coming stronger. It is reported that in
Tonawanda prices of the lower qualities
have recently been advanced quite sharply,
and dealers are predicting a further ad-
vance on some items within the next
month. It is estimated that Chicago
dealers who heretofore bought most of
their stock at Duluth and Ashland have
purchased at least one hundred million
feet of white pine lumber at interior mills
to be shipped to their yards next season.
In Cleyeland dealers are asking an ad-
vance of from $1 to $2 a thousand on se-
lects, fine common and No. r and No. 2
shop. Numerous enquiries are in the
market for hemlock lumber. The base
price in New York is now established at
$15, while during the last week prices
have advanced in North Tonawanda
until some items are selling at the base
price of $16 and as high as $17 in a few
instances. The hardwood market con-
tinues to show a fair degree of activity.
There is a good demand for basswood,
elm, and black ash. Ata meeting of the
Chicago Hardwood Lumber Exchange
held last week, discussion revealed the
fact that firsts and seconds basswood,
birch and ash were extremely scarce, also
that many of the dealers were selling
some varieties of lumber at less than they
could be replaced. Accordingly, ad-
vances were decided upon.
GREAT BRITAIN.
As usual at this period of the year, the
business doing in lumber is of a quiet
character, yet the British market seems
to be breaking away from the weakness
and uncertainty which characterized it
their price lists for next season. The
question now seems to be how much
higher prices will go for the first-open-
water stocks. This is particularly the
case in respect to Canadian lumber,
which is showing marked strength. Con-
siderable quantities of spruce deals are
said to have been bought for next year
at high figures, but even if freights can
be obtained at the present rates, which
are extremely low, the opening prices are
not likely to be below those now ruling:
The stock of spruce in all the United
Kingdom ports is abnormally low, espe-
cially in Liverpool and the Bristol Chan-
nel. A very light stock of 11 x 3 and 9g
x 3 is held. While pine deals are in
heavier stock than spruce, they are rapidly
going into consumption. The stock of
waney pine is very small and the prices
asked for next season’s production are said
to be the highest ever known. The Im-
porters Section of the Timber Trade
Federation took no action at their meet-
ing last week regarding prices, on the
ground that it was not practicable to pass
a_ resolution “ defining any particular
course.
SOCKS AND PRICES.
John Jamieson expects to have half a
million feet of lumber to ship from Bloom-
field, N-B., in the spring.
The city of Winnipeg is asking for

the Georgian Bay district.
The Dominion Government is asking
for tenders up to January 13th for a per-
mit to cut timber on berths No gg5 and

LAKE OF THE WOODS DISTRICT.
A correspondent writes THE CANADA
LUMBERMAN regarding lumbering opera-
tions in the Lake of the Woods district as
follows :
Lumbering operations in this district
are much greater this season than here-
tofore. The large crop in Manitoba has
stimulated the lumber business, and I am
looking forward to next season being the
most active in our history. There will be
cut about 35 million feet, board measure,
of saw logs. Labor is in good demand
and very fair wages are being paid. The
Canadian Pacific Railway Company has
let contracts for one and one-quarter
million ties and about 10,000 piles and
one-quarter million fence posts. This is
much in excess of former contracts and
points to railway construction in the
west. The Northern Railway Company
has let contracts for one-quarter million
ties and a large quantity of telegraph
poles and fence posts. The Northern
Railway, or what is known as the Rainy
River Railway, is going to open up a
large territory, well covered with all
kinds of timber. There is a large portion
of the territory on which no pine timber
has been cut, and I have no doubt that
the time is approaching when it will be
sold, as the danger from fire is so great
along the line of the railway that it
necessitates the disposal of the timber in
close proximity to. the line.
There is a demand for timber of less
value than heretofore, by reason of con-
nection with Winnipeg. Cord wood along
the valley of the Rainy River is now
worth $2.50, with a large demand.
THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CanapA LuMBERMAN.)
Available stocks are scarce and prices

dull, a dullness attributable to the scarcity
of supply and the cessation in manufactur-
ing operations. The principal planing

ness about Jan. 5th. At present all hands

year's business and planning for the

scarce. Good strips and shorts are also
about sold out, and the same may be said
of 1%, 1% and 2 inch sidings Nearly all
this stock has passed into third hands,
albeit the builder and other consumers.
Circulars sent from a leading mill on
Monday quoted prices suggestive of the
Klondyke. The prices at the mill ran as
follows: No.1 white pine lath, $3,50;
No. 2 ditto, $3.25 ; No. 1 red pine lath,
$3.25; No. 2 ditto, $3.00. Itis a question
whether these prices can be obtained.
Prices already quoted rule in other lines,
Everything points toan upward movement,
however, as the available stocks are small.
Reports from the limits go to show that
the weather conditions are now more
favorable then they were earlier in the
season. All the larger lates are fit for
traffic and recent thaws have improved
the roads.
Mr. T. C. Elmitt, of the firm of Huard-
man & Elmitt, left last Monday on a busi-
ness trip to Alabama and Tennessee. He
will be away until the middle of January.
Notice has been given that an appeal
will be entered by Mr, Alexander Fraser,
defendant in the celebratd suit of De-
zouche vs. Fraser. Judge Leavergue gave
an order calling from defendant a state-
ment of proceedsof sale of limits owned by
the firm of Frazer & McCoshan; the latter
was Mrs. Dezouche'’s first husband. The
limits were sold after his death. Proceed-
ings were instituted by the widow to de-
termine what share if any her children,
the minor heirs of McCoshan; were en-
titled to. About $500 is involved*

Our new Mill has 7 of the latest improved type of Dunbar machine,
which we run night and day—giving us a capacity of about 100 Million
Competent judges who have seen our new mill, tell us that it is one of

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.
THE BOSTON MARKET.
Spruce lumber Boston is in the steady,
quiet demand that is almost always in-
cident to this particular season. Perhaps
it is fortunate that the demoralization of
the mills along the Maine rivers by the re-
cent freshet came at this particular seas-
on, when the demand for spruce is very
quiet. As it is, the demand is very small
here, while itis also true that a big demand
could not be taken care of by the mills :
Ten and 12 inch dimensions, $20; 9 inch
and under, $18 to $18.50; 10 and 12 inch,
random lengths, ro feet and up, $19 to
$19.50; 2X3, 2x4, 2x5, 2x6, 2x7, and 3x4,
10 feet and up, $16.50; all other randoms,
9 inch and under, 10 feet and up, $17.50;
5 inch and up, merchantable boards, $15
to $16; matched boards, $17.50 to $18.50;
out spruce boards, $12.50 to $13; bundle
furring, $16 to $17.
Western pine increases in firmness, un-
der the supply steadily growing less.
Business is seasonably quiet : Uppers, 1
inch, $70 to $72; 2 1-2 and 3 inch, $753 4
inch, $80; selects, 1 to 1 1-2 inch, $63 to
$65; 2 inch, $65 to $67.50; 2 1-2 to 3 inch,
$72 to $75; 4 inch, $75 to $80; fine com-

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
Business for the week in white pine
lumber has been satisfactory. Retail
dealers report some buying for immedi-
ate requirements, while a feature of whole-
sale trade is the inquiry for stock for future
delivery, an indication that the supply of
lumber in the hands of retailers and con-
sumers is light. Some of the largest
manufacturers have sold a considerable
portion of the coming season’s cut, while
practically all the British specifications
of the Ottawa valley mills have been con-
tracted for. There has been a slight im-
provement in red pine, which suffered
during the past two years from over pro-
duction and from severe competition from
spruce and Baltic-timber. Occasionally
a report is heard that mill culls are slow
of sale, but in view of the strength of
other grades, this weakness is likely to be
only temporary aid to be relieved as the
spring season is approached. The ex-
pected small production of hardwood logs
this winter is having an effect upon that
class of lumber, and the feeling is more
confident than it has been for some time
The quantity of hemlock and cedar logs
taken out this winter is likely to be
slightly above the average.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
No. 2 spruce boards and spruce lath
represent the chief lumber moving in
the eastern provinces. Shingles are in
good demand, but the supplyis short. No
further advance in prices has as yet taken
place, although there are indications in
that direction. The statement of stocks
wintering at Quebec, recently compiled,
makes a most favorable showing in nearly
all classes of timber. The stock of pine
deals is very small, while that of spruce
deals is little more than one-half that of
last year. The export of square and
waney pine was 2,317,443 cubic feet,
leaving the stock over 350,0co feet less
than one year ago. Of oak the stock 1s
only 126,000 feet, which 1s less than half
the wintering stock of last year. The
export of birch during the year was heavy,
and leaves the supply almost exhausted.
The situation in elm is different, owing to
a heavy production of that timber. There
was received at the port of Quebec 1,-
023,372 feet, the export was 548,869 feet,
and the stock wintering is 594,922 feet.
The outlook for this timber, in view of
the heavy stock, is not very promising,
although a very small quantity is being
taken out this winter, which will permit
|
of the presert surplus being reduced.
Altogether, the outlook is favorable for
firm prices next season. Lumbermen in|
the Maritime Provinces report numerous
enquiries for stock, and anticipate a large
demand from the United States.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,
While the retail demand for lumber in
the west is small at the present time,
operations in the woods are being con-
ducted on an extensive scale. Large
contracts for railway ties have been
given out, and more men are at work in
the Lake of the Woods district than in
any previous season. The interest of
British Columbia lumbermen is centred
in the proposal of the British Columbia
Lumber and _ Shingle Manufacturers’
Association to adopt a schedule of prices
to apply locally and as far east as
Manitoba. Owing to the keenness of com- |
petition, cutting of prices has been in.
dulged in to some extent in the past, and
consequently the business has not been
profitable. Manufacturers hope by
working together to bring about better
conditions in the trade. It will also be
the aim to limit the production,
especially of shingles, as the total
mill capacity is much in_— ex.
cess of the consumption. A rumor
is current that an effort is to be made to
combine all the mills on the Pacific coast
doing an export trade. The report, how-
ever, is not confirmed at time of going to
press.
UNITED STATES.
But for the car shortage the movement
of lumber in the United States would be
much heavier. The activity is remark-
able for the season of the year, and augurs
well for a brisk spring demand. Reports
from the east tell of a very strong market
for white pine. Our Buffalo list this
week shows an advance of $2 per thous-
and in all grades of uppers and selects,
and of about one dollar on several items
of fine common and cutting up stocks.
The scarcity of the higher grades is such
that dealers are not anxious to sell at
present quotations. There is no weak-
ness at any point. Saginaw buyers have
secured over 150,000,000 feet of stock al-
ready at outside points, which is to be
taken to the yards there during the com-
ing season. Better things are expected
for hardwoods in the near future. Stocks
are becoming reduced and will be light
when the new cut is ready for the market.
The better feeling at Buffalo has resulted
jp an advance in the price of thick ash |
Il.
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.
and of white birch and soft maple. A
temporary falling off in the demand for
shingles is reported, due to the holiday
season. Prices, however, continue un-
changed. Lath is moving liberally. At
Cleveland No. 1 white pine brings $4 ;
No. 2, $3.50; and No, 1 hemlock, $3 to
$3.25.
SOCKS AND PRICES.
The log cut on the Restigouche river, in
New Brunswick, this winter is estimated
at 30,000,000 feet, or 5,000,000 feet short
of last winter.
Mi!l owners at St. John, N. B., expect
to get higher prices for spruce deals than
they did last year, and are talking of $13
for city cut deals, with the product of
small country mills 50 cents to $1 less.
The strength of hemlock lumber is
responsible for a rumor that a further
advance in price is to be made by manu-
facturers. The present base price at
Buffalo is $13.50. It is claimed that if
the price should be further advanced it
will shut off the building of frame houses
and injure all classes of building.
F. E. Neale’s circular of lumber ship-
ments from Miramichi and Campbelltown
for the season of 1901 shows that 13
vessels were loaded at Campbelltown,
carrying a total of 11,349,038 superficial
feet, and that 29 vessels sailed from Mira-
michi, with a total of 44,493,334 feet. The
above shipments were made by Mr. Neale,
representing Frank Harrison & Company,
of Liverpool, Eng,
Michigan firms operating in Ontario
this winter expect to bank a full supply of
logs. W. & A. McArthur Co., of Little
Current, will have a stock of about
30,000,000 feet ; Spanish River Lumber
Co., about 20,000,000 feet ; Eddy Bros. &
Co., and the Michigan Land & Lumber
Co., of Blind River, about 40,000,000
feet ; The Moulthrop Lumber Co., John’s
Island, 18,000,000 feet ; Arthur Hill Co.,
Midland, 15,000,000 feet; Holland &
Emery Co., Byng Inlet, 40,000,000 feet ;
while,Pitts & Charlton, of Little Current,
and the William Peter Estate, of Parry
Sound, are calculating upon a full output.
Concerning the Barbadoes lumber mar-
ket Messrs S. P. Musson, Son & Com-
pany, under date of September 2itst, say :
The ‘‘Lewanika” arrived on December
7th from Hantsport, N.S., with 308,000
feet white pine lumber and 38,000 feet
spruce. On the toth inst. the ‘‘Edna”’
arrived, with 106,000 feet white pine, 174,-
000 feet spruce and 75,000 feet hemlock,
which had been contracted for; and on the
18th the ‘‘ Kipling,” from Bridgewater,
N.S., arrived with 85,000 feet white pine
shippers and 95,000 feet refuse, which has
been sold at $23.11 and $19.11 respect-
ively; second quality, $17.11. In'spruce
no other arrivals have taken place, but we
have a cargo contracted for on the way,
and have also placed_(asnearby cargo,’,to
arrive, at;$19 round. We do not think
that prices of either white pine or spruce
PINE
LUMBER
Get our Prices
can be maintained if further arrivals take
place, unless the neighboring islands are
in a position to take some lumber, as the
dealers are all supplied with contract
cargoes. No further receipts of shingles
have taken place. We have sold a quan-
tity of laying at $1,70 to $1.75. Claire-
mont, Man & Company report that Gaspe
long cedar shingles are wanted at $4.40 to
$4.75 as to quality, and that a spot sale
of cedar laying has been made at $1.90.
While Chicago assortments are in the
main fairly balanced and stocks at the
majority of the yards are practically as
heavy as at the opening of last year, the
American Lumberman says there is a
most pronounced scarcity of several sizes
of piece stuff and boards. In the former
2x12s and 3x12s and 2x1os and 3x10s in
the short lengths are among the scarcest
and most desirable items wanted. Any-
thing in plece stuff over 18-foot is also in
low supply. Some of the recent prices
f. o. b. cars are as follows : 2X12—10, 12
and 20, $19,50 ; 2x12—14, 16 and 18, $19;
2x10-12 and 18, $17; 2x12-14 and 16,
$16.50 ; 3x12-12, 14 and 18, $19.50 ;
3x12-16, $19; 3x12-20, $20.50. Eight-
inch, No. 1 stock boards, 20 to 16-foot,
$21 ; 10-inch No. 1 stock boards, 10 and

THE BOSTON MARKET.
The outlook for
spruce lumber at
Boston is very firm, though trade is
limited at present. Quotations are un-
changed : 10 aud 12 inch dimensions,$20 ;
g-inch and under, $18 to $18.50 ; 10 and
12 inch random lengths, ro feet and up,
$19 to $19.50 ; 2x3, 2x4, 2x5, 2x6, 2x7
and 3x4, 10 feet and up, $16.50; all other
randoms, g-inch and under, 1o feet and
up, $17.50; 5-inch and up, merchantable
boards, $15 to $16; matched boards,
$17.50 to $18.50; out spruce boards,
$12.50 to $13; bundle furring, $16 to
$17.
Hemlock continues to be firmly sus-
tained, with trade quiet : Boards, 12, 14
and 16 feet, $14 to $14.50 for good
eastern ; Pennsylvania, No. 1, $16 to $17;
No. 2, $14.50 ; random $13 to $13.50.
The position of western pine is ex-
plained to be very firm, with the outlook
strong. The supply in the immediate
west is fully under control, with the
pine lands of the farther west being
bought up. It is understood that east-
ern capital is going into these pine
lands. Trade here continues quiet : Up-
pers, 1-in. $70 to $72 ; 2% and 3 in. $75;
4.in. $80 ; selects, 1 to 1% in. $63 to $65 ;

WHITE PINE CONDITIONS.
The condition of the lumber market in
the Lake Superior district may be taken
as the barometer of the white pine trade
of the United States and Canada. In the
last issue of the Mississipi Valley Lumber-
man that market is reviewed as follows :
The current conditions in the white pine
market, with the single exception of the
badly shattered stocks, are all that could
be wished by the manufacturer. There
has been a falling off in the demand dur-
ing the past week, caused by the advent of
the holidays and the taking of the in-
ventory by the dealers, but a light business
at this time was desired by the manufac-
turers that they might wind up the year’s
business and see in just what position they
were to take care of the spring trade. In-
ventories are not yet complete, and so the
figures showing stocks on hand January 1
are not obtainable, but it is safe to assume
that stocks in the Mississippi and Wiscon-
a
January 8, 1902
ee
sin valleys taken together are not less than
13 per cent. under those on January 1,
1901. This is taking stocks as a whole,
including both the higher and lower
grades. The percentage of shortage in
the higher grades is very scarce, and, as
stated muny times, the shortage will be-
come more pronounced each week. Sid-
ing, finishing, boards, fencing, timbers,
dimension, lath, shingles are among the
most prominent on the ‘ scarce” list.
The past year has been a memorable
one for the lumber industry. In the terri-
tory tributary to this market building
Operalions were never so active, and the
manufacturers have been taxed to their
utmost to supply the demand. The
country was never in more prosperous
condition, and people have spent and are
spending their money freely. The net
profits to the farmers, who are large users
of Jumber, from their crops, are much
larger than was first supposed, the ex-
tremely large prices they are receiving for
their products more than making up for
any shrinkage in the size of the crops,
All this points to a heavy demand during
the present year. ~ ot ee

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
There has been little change in the
white pine situation during the past
week. Manufacturers find that the
stocks with which they went into the
winter are gradually being reduced by a
considerable car trade, and if there was a
better assortment of grades a still larger
trade would be done. It is almost im-
possible to find certain sizes in the upper
grades. Manufacturers in the Georgian
Bay district are looking forward to a
large demand from the United States
during the spring months, as Michigan
Dealers are likely to be heavy purchasers.
In the Uttawa valley district the market
is equally strong. Trade is quite active
for this season of the year, and the
scarcity of stock has brought about an
advance in the price of pine sidings and
strips. Fewer inquiries are being re-
ceived for lath and shingles, but recent
prices have been well maintained.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Manufacturers of spruce lumber are
maintaining a firm attitude and are
showing no disposition to close contracts
for the coming season’s production ex-
cept at what they consider a reasonable
figure. The market for clapboards is
exceptionally strong. The supply is
short, and prices have advanced at
Boston within the past week fully $2 per
thousand. Cedar shingles are un-
changed, but it is significant that the
recent advances have been easily
maintained. The annual Miramichi
Wood Trade Circular has been issued by
the J. LB. Snowball Company, but we
notice that no figures are given of the
wintering stocks. The total export of the
province was the smallest since 1896 and
shows a falling off of 45,000 standards
as compared with 1900. The port of
Miramichi shows an iacrease of 3,500
standards, but it is stated that this is
more than covered by the reduction in
the wintering stock. The shipments
from Nova Scotia ports were less than
the previous year, with the exception of
Halifax.
UNITED STATES.
The developments of the past week in
United States lumber circles have been
of more than usual interest and have
served to emphasize the optimistic feeling
which has prevailed for some time. The
action of the white pine manufacturers in
advancing price has been followed by
the manufacturers of the south. At a
meeting of the price list committee of the
Southern Lumber Manufacturers’ Asso-
ciation held last week it was decided to
advance the prices of yellow pine lumber,
as it was shown that there is a shortage of
upper grades and no Jarge supply of the
poorer qualities. The upper grades were
consequently advanced $2 per thousand,
and dimension timber 50 cents per thous-
and. There was a disposition to make
the advance on the latter grade $1, but
the desirability of keeping the price of
dimension where it would not retard con-
sumption was urged against this step. A
statement from thirty of the largest mulls
showed the stock on hand January I to be
36,000,000 feet less than one year ago,
Michigan dealers in white pine have
obliged to advance their prices, as will be
seen by our price list. Some dealers
question whether this advance can be
maintained. The most favorable feature
of the week is found in the ‘statement of
the white pine product of the North-
west, including Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota. The total cut of pine lumber
in these states in 1901 was 5,372,380,000
feet, a decrease of about 100,000,000 feet
as compared with the previous year. The
stocks on hand December 1 last were 2,-
310,476,000 feet, a Cecrease of over 500,-
000,000 feet as compared with the pre-
vious year and the smallest quantity at a
corresponding date in the history of the
trade. Taking stocks and product into
consideration, the year shows a disposi-
tion of about 666,000,000 feet of lumber
more than in 1900. The production of
shingles in the same territory was 2,476,-
684,000, practically the same as the pre-
vious year, whereas the stock on hand
December 1 was 348,545,000, as com-
pared with 649,000,000 in 1900 and 694,-
000,000 in 1899. Of lath the production
was 1I,300,000,000, which varies little
from the previous year, while the stock on
hand was 386,000,000, a decrease of 40,-
000,000. The cut of hemlock lumber was
1,264,943,000 ft. and the stock on hand
574,407,000 ft. While the production was
increased by 98,000,000 feet, the stock on
hand shows a decrease of 47,000,000 feet.
A study of the above figures leads to the
conclusion that the present prices of lum-
ber will be maintaimed and _ probably
advanced this year.
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The course of the British timber mar-
ket is still by uncertainty.
Importers seem afraid to verture upon
new business until they are better able
to foresee the extent of consumption,
Some buying has been done, confined
chiefly to small lots. Some ground for
encouragement is found in the fact that
the deliveries from the public docks in
London during the past year exceeded
those of 1900 by some 40,000 standards,
of which 35,000 standards were sawn
timber and 5,000 standards prepared
boards. The supply has thus been
reduced to an average quantity, and with
a continuation of the present satisfactory
state of consumption, the year should
witness a substantial. advance in the
price of lumber. Spruce deals show a
remarkable shortage at several import-
ing centres. It is said that a lot con-
sisting of about 60 per cent. 3x7 and
3x8 has been sold at £7 15s per standard
Giioks Liverpool. These prices are not
high when it is considered that $13 per
thousand is being asked for deals f. o. b.
St. John, N. B. The stock of pine deals
is being worked off gradually. Present
quotations show that the price of best
quality deals, as compared with one year
ago, has continued firm, but that there
has been a loss of upwards of £1 per
standard in second, third and fourth
quality. Red pine has also suffered
during the year to the extent of about £2
per standard. Waney and square pine
occupy a strong position, and are selling
at 5 shillings and 2 shillings per standard
respectively higher than one year ago.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the Canapa LUMBERMAN.)
The opening weeks of the new year see
the local lumber dealers looking forward
in pleasurable anticipation to the good
things that 1902 has in store for them.
While very little business is being transact-
ed at present,the prospects are bright,even
roseate. The demand is active and the
supply short in the principal grades of
good lumber. Prices have advanced
accordingly. Good pine sidings, which
ranged from $31 to $42, have advanced,
and figures run as high as $45. Good
strips, previously quoted at $26 to $32,
now range from $30 to $35. Pine No.
dressing sidings, that sold as low as $18
1 few weeks ago, now bring from $20 to
$24. Even at these figures it is hard to
ill orders, and impossible in Many cases.
Mr. Thomas F. Elmitt, of the firm of
Hurdman & Elmitt, who has just
‘eturned from a trip through the States,
speaks very favorably of the prospects
or Canadian lumber. Dealers who pre-
viously saw no further than Michigan are
10w looking towards Canada for supplies.
[he fstanding timber in Michigan has

become practically a thing of the past,
and now it is the turn of the Canadians to
supply the demand.
In the southern
states which Mry
Elmitt visited, there is not as good an’
opening for Canadian lumber, for the
reason that the cheaper grades of lumber
with which these states are stocked fill
the bill.
Reports from the limits in which
Ottawans are interested are brighter as
the natural conditions have improved.
The prospects for a fair-sized cut are
good.

are strong at a high level. First class
wood of long average is quoted at 3s 3d
to 3s 6d, and short girthy wood at 2s gd to
38. Second class, at 2s 3d to 2s 8d per c. fi.
Square.—The demand has been fair, but
the quantity imported hus been ample
so that the stock carried over shows an
iucrease as compared with this date last
year. First class wood. is quoted at 2s 5d
to 2s 8d for 35 to 45 feet average. G.F.A.
at 22d to 2s 2d per c. ft.
RED PiINE.—The import has been small
but ample for all requirements. First
class wood only is inquired for and it has
been selling at from 1s gd to 2s 3d perc. ft.
E_mM.—There has been a good demand.
The import has been heavy, but as it con-
sisted largely of grey wood any parcels of
really prime rock elm were readily taken
up at full prices. Quotations are as fol-
lows :—Rock elm, 40 to 50 feet average,
2s od to 38s; grey elm so feet average,
around 2s per c. ft.
Oak.—There was an average import,
and the demand was good. The stock
carried over shows a heavy decrease and
is firmly held at from 3s to 3s 3d perc. ft.
for first class. Second class wood is quot-
ed at 2s 2d to 2s 6d perce. ft.
AsH.—There has been an average im-
port, but the demand has been exceedingly
slow, so that stocks now are heavy and
prices weak. Quotations are at 22d to 2s
3d for 14 to 15 inch average.
BircH.—Early in the year there was a
good demand and prices were high, but
with the opening of the St. Lawrence too
much came on the market. Prices then
fell away and have not yet recovered. 16
inch average is quoted at 18d to 20d per
C.. 1G
DEALS, BATTENS AND BOoaARDs. — The
year opened with stocks at a low level
and an average business was done at fair
prices in the first six months. When the
earlier imports of pine deals from the St.
Lawrence came to hand it was seen that
it would be a matter of difficulty to carry
through transactions at shippers’ ideas on
account of the lower standard of quality
fo!lowing on the new classification adopted
by Canadian cullers. The bulk of the im-
ports found their way to store, and it was
well on in the year before buyers purchased
freely. In August freights receded to the
lowest quotations on record, and this fact
stimulated shipments for a short time.
Prices fell in sympathy. It was only in
the last quarter that buyers became alive
to the fact that the import over all was
short. Extensive buying then took place,
and we finish the year with our market
very bare. PINE—Firsts—The import has
been alight one and the stocks are now
low. Prices have risen toa material ex-
tent. Broad firsts are quoted at from £26
2s 6d to £28 17s 6d per standard. Under-
sized deals, £18 10s to £,20 12s 6d. Good
sidings, 14, 14 and 2 inch, 11 to 12 inch
average, £20 to £22. Strips, 5 to 7 inch,
£16 10s to £18 10s. Seconds—These are
not in great demand, but a fair amount of
business has been done in them. Broad
deals are quoted ‘at £18 10s to £20 10s
per standard. 11 inch at £16 10s to £18
10s, and undersized at £12 7s 6d to £14.
Thirds—There has been a steady demand
throughout the year. uotations are now
as’ follows :—Broads, ee 158 to £16, 11
inch £11 10s to £12 7s 6d, Undersized,
£10 §8 to to £11 per standard. Fourths—
The import has been low but there has not
been a great demand. 1) inch have been
selling at from £8 to 18s 9d to £9 5s. Nar-
rows at £8 5s to £9 per standard.
RED PineE.—The stock at the beginning
of the year was slightly above the average,
but prices continued firm until the opening
of navigation, when in sympathy with
Baltic they fell to a very low level. Quo-
tations are at from £8 to £10 5s, according
to quality and specification. A tendenc
is towards higher prices, but the stock is
much too large. SpRucE.—The import
has been anaverage one but was Jargely on

it all.”” We recognize that ‘‘there are others’’ and that we are the
only ‘‘pebble on the beach.”’ To try and make you believe that we are the
only people who can supply you promptly and in large quantities with a
high-grade shingle would not only be a fish and a bear story combined,

Our competitors in the shingle business in B. C. are nice people, and we
presume that they know their business ; but we are nice people too, and as
we have been in the trade as long as any of them,
and a great deal
longer than the most of them, we know that we know our business, and
that our competitors are not in the possession of any points of value regard-
ing the manufacture of shingles which has not come to our knowledge.
Our old mill was burned down in May last, and in its place we have built
what is at the present time the Largest Shingle Mill in B. C.
Our new Mill has 7 of the latest improved type of Dunbar machine,
which we run night and day—giving us a capacity of about 100 Million
a year.
Competent judges who have seen our new mill, tell us that it is one of
the most substantial, carefully construeted, and best planned mills in
this province.
We ourselves think it is the very best shingle mill in
B. C. ; and we know that it is equipped with all the very latest improved

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
It would be hard to conceive of more
satisfactory conditions than those which
prevail in the white pine trade of
Ontario. Manufacturers who have any
stock of the upper grades are in a
position to fix their own prices, knowing
that if these prices are not accepted by
the buyer, the probablity is that higher
prices will be realized before spring.
Numerous inquiries are being received
from the Eastern States for small lots of
stock, apparently for evening-up pur-
poses, while there is a disposition on
the part of dealers to contract for the
coming season’s cut that is not often
exhibited. at this season of the year.
Building operations in the leading cities
of the province are likely to be of a
satisfactory volume, and better prices
for building lumber are expected. Itis a
question, however, whether it would be
in the interest of the lumber trade that
“there should be a marked advance. in
the price of lumber, as it might restrict
the volume of building. A satisfactory
car trade in hardwoods is reported, with
prices stiffening ian a moderate degree.
The returns from the production of
hardwood lumber last year were not very
satisfactory. This has caused some
manufacturers to turn their attention to
pine and hemlock, and the production of
hardwoods during the coming sawing
season promises to be very light.
There are practically no shingles om
the market, and if the demand was
more active, a sharp advance in prices
would be experienced. Lath is more
plentiful than shingles, although by ro
means in large supply. Prices remain
steady.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
It is learned that the total stock of
spruce deals wintering at the port of
Quebec is slightly below 7,000,000 feet.
At the close of 190 the wintering stock
was 25,000,000 feet. These figures con-
firm the prediction that was made by
some shippers early in the fall that the
wintering stock would be exceptionally
small. The condition of the spruce
market is, on the whole, very satis-
factory. and it is the opinion of the
trade that the spring will witness con-
siderable activity and a strong demand.
Inquiries are being received by manu-
facturers almost daily for spruce clap-
boards, the supply in the Eastern States
having become short. On Boston rate
of freight they are selliug at $35 to $:
for extra spruce, and $33 to $34 for clez
Shingles remain firm on the basis of tl
previous quotation of $3.25 to $3.35 f
extras.
UNITED STATES.
An indication of the trend of whi
pine prices is found inthe heavy buyit
for future delivery that has taken pla
ia the Lake Superior district. The co
ditions so strongly favor higher pric
that dealers and consumers are satisfic
that they will make no serious mistal
by buying at the present market pric

shortage in dry lumber, and those wl
have stock on hand have no difficul
in disposing of it at their own figures. |
Buffalo and Tonawanda a large busine
is doing. Uppers have advanced durir
the past two months fully $3.per thousar

cuts $2. There has been no advance
barn boards and box lumber, althoug
these have shown more strength of la
and may follow in the path of the highs
graces as soon as the spring deman
develops. As far as can be estimate
the volume of building this year will t
heavy, as the architects universally a1
busy. Logging conditions in the whi
pime district have been favorable, a
though a greater supply of snow woul
facilitate hauling.
A steady improvement in both deman
and inquiry for hardwood lumber |
reported. The cautious buying polic
that has been pursued by factories ha
brought their stocks down to a poir
where they must be replenished. Mapl
is hkely to improve, since Michiga
manufacturers have taken united actio
towards obtaining a more remunerativ
price. Black ash is in good demand an
some elm and basswood is moving
though prices of the latter show ni
improvement.
GREAT BRITAIN.
British importers are pursuing |
cautious policy, and while there ha
been increased activity since the first o
the year, the feeling seems to be strong]:
in favor of a very gradual recovery
rather than a sharp advance in prices
At the recent auction sales Canadiar
pine and spruce showed a distinct 1m.
provement. Second quality Quebec
rl;
spruce brought £9 5s for 3x9 inch and
third quality 49 5s. Third quality
battens also sold well at £7 15s for 3x8
and £7 tos for 3x7. For best quality
pine deals as high as $28 per standard
has been realized by private sale, the
supply being comparatively light. Prices
of second and third qualities are less firm
and the stock heavier. Red pine deals
have recovered to some extent. During
the summer months 9 inch sold as low
as £8 5s per standard, whereas the
current quotation is about f10, In
timber, waney pine is in light supply and
selling at advanced prices, while elm and
ash are held in large quantities and are
slow of sale.
The annual timber circular of Church-
ill & Sim furnishes interesting statistics
of the import of timber into the United
Kingdom during the past seven years.
The quantity of Colonial deals and
battens imported last year was the
ssince 1896. The total quantity
of timber imported from all countries was
9,693,934 loads, a decrease of 700,000
loads as compared with 1900, and of
250,000 loads as compared with 1889.
No complete figures of the stock on hand
are obtainable, but the public docks in
London show a decrease in deals and
battens of 1,600,000 pieces. The figures
of London consumption make a very
satisfactory showing, being 60,000,000
pieces in IGoI, as against 55,000,000
pieces in the previous year.

Our old mill was burned down in May last, and in its place we have built

Our new Mill has 7 of the latest improved type of Dunbar machine,

THE BOSTON MARKET.
The spruce lumber market at Boston
is quiet, since it is in the midst of the quiet
season. But there is no weakness, except
possibly on some ransoms that have come
forward and must be sold. On the con-
trary, the position is very firm on sched-
ules and anything that has to be ordered:
Ten and 12 inch dimensions, $20; 9 inch
and under, $18 to $18.50; 10 and 12 inch
random lengths, 10 feet and up, $19 to
$19.50; 2X 3,2x4,2x 5,2x6,2x 7and
3X4, 10 feet and up, $16.50; all other
randoms, g inch and under, 10 feet and up,
$17.50; 5 inch and up merchantable
boards, $15 to $16; matched boards,
$17.50 to $18.50; out spruce boards,
$12.50 to $13; bundle furring, $16 to $17.
Hemlock holds very firm, but the im-
mediate demand is still light: Boards, 12,
14 and 16 feet, $14 to 14.50 for good east-
ern; Pennsylvania, No. 1, $16 to $17; No.
2, $14.50; random, $13 to $13.50.
White pine is stronger, with western
shippers advancing prices. The claim is
that prices ‘‘can never be any lower” on
account of the small and decreasing sup-

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
While the month of January is usually
uneventful in respect to lumber trans-
actions, the past month has witnessed
a movement which has further strength-
ened the white pine market. Buying of
the coming season’s cut has been quite
heavyand at figuresinvariably satisfactory
totheseller. The purchase of lumber in
the Ottawa district by a Chicago concern,
as reported by our correspondent, is
particularly significant as showing that
the market for Canadian pine lumber is
broadening, and that United States
concerns find it advantageous to pay even
the high prices which Canadian manu-
facturers are now asking, in addition to
the import duty of two dollars per
thousand feet. It is estimated that
there is not over 25,000,000 feet of
unsold lumber on the mill docks in the
Georgian Bay district, and even this
quantity 1s almost certain to find a buyer
before spring. There is a firm market
for logs which are held at $11 to $13 per
thousand. A very small quantity is
beirg cut this winter for export, as the
operations for this purpose must be con-
fined to deeded lands, on which the tim-
ber is mostly scattered.
An estimate furnished by Mr. Ralph
Loveland of the expected output of the
mills on the Georgian Bay is interesting
and valuable, inasmuch as it shows a
—
smaller cut than has been reported. The
figures of the districts are :

According to this estimate the total is
less than 500,000,000 feet, but it will be
observed that it does not include the cut
at French River and one or two other
points.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The spruce lumber market is firm,
though quiet. It is anticipated that there
will be a strong market in the spring, as
the volume of building in the Eastern
States is likely to call for a large quantity
of rough lumber. This,‘ it is thought,
will offset any possible falling off im the
demand from Great Britain. The winter
cut of logs will not be greater in volume
than usual, and may be slightly curtailed.
White cedar shingles are still selling on
the basis of $3.25 to $3.30 for extras on
Boston rate of freight, with the demand
a little more inactive.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
At the present time the chief
interest of the lumber trade of the west
centres in the movements affecting the
trade of British Columbia. The Pro-
vincial Government have put into effect
the law prohibiting the export of cedar
l6gs, and British Columbia lumbermen
expect to find a market for shingles in
certain territory that was formerly
supplied by United States manufacturers.
The revised price list is also commanding
some attention. Cedar shingles are
quoted at $1.70 for No. 1,6 to 2x16 inches,
and $1.20 for No. 2 for all points west of
Fort William, f.o0.b. cars Vancouver.
For all points east of Fort William the
price is $1.55 and $1.05 respectively.
Delivered prices are, of course, quoted
in all cases, but the above figures are the
basis from which delivered prices are
made. The fifty cent. rate covers all
points from Fort William west to and
including Regina, also a number of the
branch roads of Manitoba and the North-
West, while the 75 cent. rate covers
practically all of Ontario and the city of
Montreal.
UNITED STATES.
Several small lots of white pine lumber
are changing hands in the Lake Superior
district. There is an activity and strength
which augers well for a strong market
during the early spring. In the Albany
market cuts and better have advanced $2
a thousand, and some grades of common
about $1 a thousaad. Dealers there
report that car trade has been ex-
ceptionally good this winter.
Buffalo list this week shows a further

advance in the price of uppers and selects.
The tone of the market there is the
, strongest that it has been since Christ-
mmr
mas; orders and enquiries have increased
materially, The lower grades are meeting
with more inquiry and are likely to be
advanced, a feature which gives much
encouragement to the trade. The hard-
wood market is also enjoying a degree of
activity. Elm, basswood and maple are
selling very well.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The British timber market has not yet
made a decided move towards recovering
from the recent depression. There has,
it is true, been some improvement, but
importers are pursuing a policy of pre-
caution and cannot be induced to pur-
chase excepting on a very moderate scale.
It may be that there will be a gradual
return of complete confidence, which in
the end is probably most to be desired.
Some of the largest importers predict
that the market will be comparatively
strong for the first six months of the year,
but they seem very uncertain about the
course of trade after that time. The
curtailment in operations which has been
decided upon in Norway and Sweden
cannot but have- a beneficial effect upon
the market, and if the present line of policy
is pursued, the iniport of timber into the
United Kingdom this year will witness a
further reduction. At recent auction
sales buying has been quite active, stimu-
lated no doubt by the higher prices which
shippers are asking. - Spruce prices have
been fairly well maintained, with the ex-
ception of 3x7 stock, which is slightly
lower at Bristol and Liverpool. The
receipts of spruce deals by the regular
liners from St. John and Halifax has had
the effect of checking any further advance
in prices. In London second quality 3 x
9 spruce is selling at £10 per standard,
and third quality at £9 ros landed at the
dock. Several contracts have recently
been placed for birch squares, the price
of which is about 47 Ios per standare.
TIMBER LIMIT TRANSACTIONS.
A couple of weeks ago the Delta
Lumber Company, of Detroit, disposed of
their timber limit in Mackenzie townsbip,
on the Georgian Bay, to Messrs. Avery and
Eddy, of Saginaw, and Glenn, of Duluth.
It is reported that the consideration was
in the neighborhood of $275,000. The
Delta Lumber Company purchased this
limit from the Holland & Emery Lumber
Company in 1895. It comprises nine
square miles, is a very’ desirable
limit as to location, and can be lumbered
very cheaply. It contains about 5,000-
ooo feet of red pine, the remainder being
white pine.

The Victoria Harbor Lumber Company,
Toronto, recently purchased the north
half of Ferrie township from the Detroit
Lumber Company. It comprises 4o%
square miles, the pine of which has been
mostly cut off, but there is a considerable
quantity of hemlock and cedar.
THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LuUMBERMAN.)
Attention in the local Jumber market is
fixed on the future. Present dealing’s are
few. The event of the midwinter business
is found in the operations of the Edwin S.
Hartwell Lumber Company, of Chicago.
For several weeks past the western con-
cern,one of the largest of its kind, has had
a representative in Ottawa negotiating for
the purchase of first class white pine lum-
ber. He has made good use of his time,
and has secured a large slice of the supply
of Ottawa and neighbouring towns. The
sales in the aggregate represent about
$135,000 in money, and 7,500,000 feet in
lumber,
Large purchases were made from J. R.
Booth, Hull Lumber Company, Gillies
Bros., of Braeside, McLachlin Bros., of
Arnprior, and Lemay & Company, Mon-
treal. All the above stock, except that
secured from the Hull Lumber Company,
operating the Mason mill, has been ship-
ped. The freight alone, at $5 per M, re-
presented an expenditure of about $35,-
000, and the duty at $2 per M another
$15,000 The same firm has closed a con-
tract for the 1902 cut of the Peters mill at
Parry Sound. It secured the cut for 1901,
about 20,000,000 feet, and the coming sea-
son it is estimated will find the saws quite
as busy.
The lumber already shipped was sent by
the Canada Atlantic and Grand Trunk
Railways to Chicago. The opening of
navigation, however, will probably see a
change of route, as boat shipments can
then be made from Parry Sound and De-

The Hartwell concern has large fac-
tories in Chicago, where the Canadian
pine will be utilized. It is not at all un-
likely that the firm will be a steady bidder
in coming seasons for the product of the
Ottawa and neighboring mills. It must
have the lumber, as the supply of the
Western States is becoming exhausted.
Indications would seem to prove that the
mill owner of the Ottawa district has in
Chicago a market that will rival that of
the Eastern States. This latest develop-
ment of the trade has another interest for
the lumber trade. The large purchase of
high grade lumber by the Chicago concern
has made a marked reduction in the avail-
able local supply of the better grades of
white pine lumber. For this reason,
coupled with the increasing local demand,
prices are bound to continue firm, with

every prospect of an advance. ‘‘ Lumber
is lumber nowadays” remarked a dealer
recently, ‘‘and the man who is waiting for
prices to ease has a long wait before him.”
On reliable authority it is learned that the
cut of the McLachlin mill at Arnprior for
1902 has also been sold, making another
marked reduction in futureavailable stocks.
Unlike the British buyers, the Chicago-
ians have had no fault to find with the
Ottawa sorting. The board lumber has
been well selected and satisfactory in
every sense to the western buyers. Hence
it would not be surprising if early negotia-
tions were closed for still more of the
Ottawa mill cut of 1902.
The prevalence of smallpox of mild type
in the lumber camps may have the effect
of reducing the log cut on the limits this
season. In sevcral instances camps have
had to be abandoned onaccount of lack of

Lumber Company, has been in the city
for several days arranging for the pur-
chase and installation of new machinery
inthe mill, It is the intention to change
it from a water toa steam mill. Circular
and gang saws are to be taken out and
two double-cutting saws and re-saw
installed. The box factory which the
company recently built will start operations

The death of Hon. R.R. Dobell was deeply
regretted in local lumber circles. He, as
head of the firm of Dobell, Beckett & Co.,
was a leading spirit in the British export
business. The firm has a large office in the
Capital,
Mr. Frank Hawkins, private secretary to
the late Hon. Mr. Dobell, has taken a
position in the Quebec office of the firm.

labor due to the ravages of the disease.
In the Gatineau district the trouble is seen
at its worst stage, and in the Black
river and Coulonge districts W. C.
Edwards & Company and Fraser & Com-
pany have experienced considerable
trouble. The Parry Sound district is also
affected and men are quitting work either
on account of the disease or through fear
of contracting it.
In the Parry Sound district, consider-
able trouble is being experienced on
account of the lack of good solid sleigh-
ing. There is plenty of snow in_ the
swamps but no bottom. The absence of
frost early in the season has had its effect.

THE BOSTON MARKET.
The spruce Jumber position at Boston
is firm, with little that is new in the
market. Orders are not plenty since it is
between seasons. Neither is the supply
anything but decidedly limited. When
business starts in the spring, it is more
than likely that there will be a short-
age and stronger prices, following the
course of other classes of Jumber :
Ten and 12 inch dimensions, $20; 9 inch
and under, $18 to $18.50; 10 and 12 inch
random lengths, 10 feet and up, $19 to
$19.50; 2% 3, 2% 4, 2x 5,2x6,2x7and
3x4, 10 feet and up, $16.50; all other
randoms, 9 inch and under, 10 feet and up,
$17.50; § inch and up_ merchantable
boards, $15 to $16; matched boards,
$17.50 to $18.50; out spruce boards,
$12.50 to $13; bundle furring, $16 to $17.
Hemlock holds firm, in keeping with
spruce, though trade is quiet : Boards, 12
14 and 16 feet, $14 to 14.50 for good east-
ern; Pennsylvania, No. 1, $16 to $17; No.
2, $14.50; random, $13 to $13.50.
White pine ‘is scarce, with the posi-
tion very firm and higher prices on all
the best grades: Uppers,1 inch, $72 to $73;
2% and 3 inch, $77.50; 4 inch, $82.50 ;
selects, 1 to 1 1-2 inch, $66 to $67; 2 inch,
$68 to $70 ; 2 1-2 to 3 inch, $73 to $76 ;
4-inch, $75 to $80 ; fine common, t-inch,
$553 1 1-4 to 1 1-2 inch, $60; 2inch, $55;
2 (-2 and 3 inch, $65 to $67 ; g inch $70 ;
barn boards, $23 to $32 ; coffin boards,
$27 to $32.
Shingles are firmly held, with the
demand limited : Extra cedar, $3.25 to
$3.30 ; clear, $2.90 to $2.95; second clear,
$2.35 to $2.40; sap, $2.10 to $2.20; extra
No. 1, $1.75 to $1.80 ; Washington and
British Columbia, 16-inch, five butts to 2
inches, $3.45 to $3.50. :
Clapboards are still very firm : Extra

second clear, $29 to $32; extra No. 1,
$20 to $23; pine extra, $50 to $52 ;

Large Tract of Timber
In Central Ontario
{THE PROPERTY OF
The Canadian Land and Immigration Com-
pany of Haliburton, (Limited.)
This company has a large tract of well timber-
ed land about 125 miles north-east of Toronto.
There are large quantities of Cedar, Hemlock,
Spruce, Balsam, Basswood, Cherrybirch, Maple,

tract. It is well served by two railroads, one of

of the property. The Company are prepared to
sell this timber in blocks ranging from 5,000 to
23,000 acres, or more if desired.
There are several good mill sites on the pro-
perty. This would be a good opportunity for
pa who are at present cut out and looking
or a new location.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The demand for lumber in Toronto is
heavier than usual in midwinter, and
prices generally are firm. It has seemed
difficult to advance wholesale prices to
the same extent as has been done at the
mills, but the prevailing opinion is that
there will be a moderate rise at least
before spring. The outlook is regarded
as very bright. Box lumber and mill
culls are now being shipped in consider-
able quantities from Ontario to the
Eastern states, Chicago and Michigan.
Numerous inguiries are being received
for stock for shipment as soon as navi-
gation opens. Consumers of hardwoods
are adding to their stock of raw material
apparently believing that it will not be
possible to obtain hardwood lumber below
present quotations for some time at least.
Shingles are higher and sell wholesale in
Toronto at $3 for XXX,$2 for XX,and $1
for X. The movemet of lath is Jight,but
the tendency of prices is upwards, and as
soon as there is an expansion in demand,
quotations will immediately follow the
advance which has been put into effect in
the Lake Superior and Michigan districts.
The latest reports from the woods go
to show that the log cut of the present
season is to date behind the figures for
the same period one year ago. Natural
conditions are held responsible for the
shortage.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Predictions are made that there will
be a stronz demand for spruce lumber
during the current year. Building oper- -
ationsthroughout the Maritime Provinces
promise to be on an unusually large
scale, while the projected harbor improve-
ments at Montreal, Quebec and St. John
will call for a considerable quantity of
timber. The erection of large grain
handling facilities at Quebec by Capt.
Wolvin, of Duluth, is also an undertaking
which will consume a_ considerable
quantity of building material. The -
Eastern States are likely to purchase liber-
ally, while it is probable that about the
usual quantity of spruce deals will find a
market in Great Britain. Altogether,
manufacturers are disposed to anticipate
a favorable season. Clapboards at the
present time are the strongest feature o¢
the market, selling at $35 for Boston
delivery. Cedar shingles are unchanged
at $3.25 to $3.30 for extras. Spruce lath
is weaker, sales having been made for
Boston at $2.90 for 1 5-8 inch.
UNITED STATES,
The lumber business is exceptionally
good for this time of the year, with each
day adding strength to the position of
white pine. In the Lake Superior dis-
trict the shortage in the supply is an im-
portant factor. Some dealers have al-
ready advanced the price of piece stuff
and No. 1 boards, and it is expected that
at the annual meeting of the Mississippi
Valley Lumbermen’s Association on Feb-
ruary 18th, the price list committee will
decide upon an advance ir the price of
nearly all grades. The official price list
of the Saginaw Lumber Dealer’s Associa-
tion, which took effect on January 2oth
last, shows an advance on pine stocks
generally, the greatest increase being, of
course, inthe upper grades. White pine
lath is now quoted by-that association at
$3.75 for No. 1 and $3.25 for No. 2. The
supply is light and no person is endeavor-
ing to force sales. The strength of lath
is also shared by shingles. Dealers re-
port that it is simply impossible to get
shingles to fill orders. Hemlock lath are
firm at $2.90 for No. 1, and $2.15 for No.
2, in car lots. A further improvement is
reported in the tone of the hardwood
market, and it is believed that within a
short time there will be a decided change
for the better in hardwood prices, The
state of New York, in view of an active
building season, is buying quite liberally,

GREAT BRITAIN.
The outlook for shippers of lumber to
Great Britain is better than was expected
afew weeks ago,although importers are not
exhibiting much confidence in the year’s
operations. It is almost certain that the
better prades of pine deals will find a
market at remunerative prices. The
course of the spruce market, however, 1s
less certain, as it will depend largely upon
the extent of imports into Great Britain
from the Baltic. If these should prove
unexpectedly large and greater than the
market can absorb, a slump ip spruce
prices likely result. Stocks in
London, however, have become consider-
ably reduced during the past two months.
The’ peace proposals that have been
made to the British Government area
hopeful ‘sign, and although meeting with
refusal, are regarded as indicating that
negotiations for a settlement of the Sou'h
African war will soon be under way.
ee
STOCKS AND PRICES.
The city engineer of St. Jobn, N. B.,
has been instructed to invite tenders for
the supply of 2,500 tons of timber for the
building of a wharf.
The cooperage market at the present
time is quiet. Buyers are not in the mar-
ket to any extent. In Chicago pork bar-
rels are offered at from 90 to 95 cents.
Mr. Kennedy, of North Brook, Ont.,
has taken out 20,000 cubic feet of board
timber for Burton Bros., of Barrie. The
timber was cut on the Drinkwater limits.
During the year 1901 Buffalo dealers
imported from Canada 69,212,106 feet of
lumber, 44,803,333 shingles, and 12,071,570
laths. These figures show a large
increase over those of 1900, which were
43,562,741 feet of lumber, 23,360,400
shingles, and 3,151,400 laths.
In the Chicago market there are many
items of white pine lumber that are excep-
tionally scarce. No. 1 and No. 2 12-inch
boards in any length are difficult to get
hold of; and everything over 16-foot in both
Norway and white Pine piece stuff is ex-
ceedingly scarce, also 2 x 12 and G28 1A.
Hon. C. W. Robinson, Capt. Wright
and F. C. Robinson, of Moncton, and C.,
S. Hickman, of Dorchester, N. B., have
purchased the mills and 30,000 acres of
timber lands from Gillespie Prescott, of
Cumberland county, N.S. The property
is situated near Shulee, and the purchase
price is about $100,000.
McLachlin Bros., of Arnprior, Ont.,
recently sold about 8,500,000 feet of 12-
inch stock to the Shepard & Morse Com-
pany for shipment to South America. The

cash"lequivalent"was in the neighborhood
of $150,000. Hostilities in the southern
republics have interfered with the business
for months past, but it is now recovering
its former activity.
Mr. G. W. Campbell is understood to
have entered into an agreement with the
Pacific Coast Lumber Company, of New
Westminster, B.C., to handle their entire
output. This company is now buildling a
mill on Coal Harbor, within the city limits
of Vancouver,
The R. Laidlaw Lumber Company, of
Toronto and Buffalo, are reported to have
purchased the entire output of the Hunts-
ville Lumber Company’s mill for the
coming season. This company have
purchased largely in Ontario within the
last two months.
The vessel Wetmore,
lumber, recently became Stranded at
Tobermorey, Bruce county, Ont. The
lumber was en route to Buffalo, being the
property of Hurd & Hauenstein and
Hurd Bros., of that city. It comprised
about 2,000,000 feet, of which about four-
fifths has been saved and is now offered
for sale by the insurance agents.
The red shingle situation in Washington
is marked by a steady improvement in
prices. Clears are bringing about $1.85,
and stars about $1.65. Stars are stronger
in the market than clears, a reversal of
the order prevailing near the close of last
season. This is attributed to the fact that
the poor market for stars which prevailed
at that time caused many mills which had
been cutting that grade to turn to clears,
with the result that the stock of stars has
been reduced.
Of the hardwood situation at Buffalo,
N. Y., the American Lumberman says:
Dealers find that the demand is
improving and the supply is not only
small, but is growing smaller right along.
While New England is not buying as
readily as it might, waiting for more
favorable prices, New York State and
City are quite in line and will have lumber
if they can get it, whether the Price is
what they want or not, for the outlook is
that this state is building as it never did
before, taken as a whole, and will keep on
building as long as general business may
be good. What is going to be done for
stock, especially oak, is hard to say.
Some dealers, who used to be the stand-
bys in that sort of lumber, say that they
are very low in it, while others, who are
very inclined to boast of their supply, ad-
mit that they are out of this or that,
especially certain thick cuts. The demand
is more general than it was and calls for
all sorts and all cuts, but it will have to be
satisfied with what there is. Prices are
about as formerly, though some dealers
are asking more for oak.
A market report trom S. P. Musson,
Son & Company, dated January 18th,
contains the following reference to the
Barbados lumber market : “ Arrivals have
been heavy, and dealers were so fully
stocked that a decline was bound to take
place, and if further arrivals occur, we
shall probably see even lower prices. The

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The stock lists that are being sent out
by the manufacturers of pine lumber are
a good indication of the position of the
market. They show very clearly that
there is practically no good Jumber in
mill yards that has not been contracted
for, and that the stock of the lower
grades is considerably broken and much
lighter than when tke mills closed down.
There has been an exceptionally large
winter demand, and when sawing
operations are resumed the yards will be
practically cleaned out. The buying of
the coming season’s production has been
heavy. One manufacturer reports that
all the dressing, cuts and better that he
can manufacture this year has been con-
tracted for at an advance of- 10 per cent.
over the prices of last spring. In in-
dividual cases the price of certain stock 1s
being marked up. This 1s regarded as
an evidence that further advances will
be made by manufacturers as a whole in
the near future. It is contended that
the greater cost of provisions for both
men and horses must result in increasing
the value of lumber. Ottawa valley
manufacturers, in addition to. their
usual British contracts, have made
large sales of white pine to the United
States. The market for red pine, how-
ever, is still heavy and uncertain owing
to the large stocks held, but some relief
will no doubt be afforded by the light
operations in that timber this winter.
Implement and furniture manufac-
curers are reported to be buying more
hardwood lumber than for some time
past, and in some lines there has been a
slight appreciation in values. Maple
continues dull of sale and in large supply,
but in the other classes of hardwoods
stocks are not exceptionally heavy.
The shingle situation is extremely in-
teresting at the present time. The stock
list of a large Georgian Bay manufac-
‘turer shows that his supply of shingles
has become completely exhausted. This
is the case with many others, and it is a
question where the supply for the spring
trade is to be obtained. The Eastern
States will this year depend more upon
Canadian shingles thin ever before, as
the new product of Washington will not
be ready for the market until late in the
spring. Higher prices for both pine and
cedar shingles seem evident between now
and midsummer.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The spruce market is holding its own,
and while prices are not advancing it is
believed that there will be an upward
movement towards the opening of navi-
gation. The Eastern States have taken
so much spruce lumberthat manufacturers
feel less dependent upon the British mar-
ket. A contract has been let within the
past week for harbour improvements at
Three Rivers, Quebec, estimated to cost
$750,000. This work will call for a large
quantity of timber, and will be com-
menced at the openirg of navigation.
Other important public works are to be
carried out this year in Quebec province.
Very little chartering has as yet been
done by shippers, although the present
low rates should be an incentive to close
contracts. It is said that arrangemenis
have been made by Hon. J. B. Snowbill,
of Chatham, to ship a quantity of Mira-
michi deals by the Donaldson steamers
which will sail from St. John, NB, dur-
ing the remainder of the season to Glas-
gow.
GREAT BRITAIN.
Lumber prices in the British market
have undergone no important change
since the close of last year. Ia the better
qualities of pine and spruce deals and in
all yrades of whitewood there has been a
sltght advance. Whitewood especially is
finding a ready sale and is commanding
ten shillings per standard more than it
did in December. This has resulted in
more liberal buying of spruce, the stock
of which has become considerably re-
duced. First quality pine is low in stock
and holders of broads are asking higher
prices. Red pine deals in regular sizes
are firm, but undersized are weak and
selling about 41 lower than at the close
of December. American pine doors have
continued to improve in value, the latest
advance being about three pence. Ad-
vices from Great Britain state that this
upward tendency is likely to continue un-
til prices reach a materially higher basis.
There has as yet been very little buy-
ing for the coming season, importers ap-
parently preferring to wait further develop-
ments before contracting for their supply,
Agents for spruce shippers are now going
the rounds and are said to be asking an
advance of Io shillings per standard over
last year’s first-open-water prices, where-
as buyers do not seem disposed to pay
mote than 3 shillings abovethe old figures
consequently there is somewhat of a
deadlock. The square timber market is
firm with little doing.
UNITED STATES.
The advanced prices that are being
asked forlumber in the Lake Superior
district has apparently not 1etarded the
demand, as the shipments from Minne-
apolis during January were greater than
for the corresponding month of last year.
Practically all the dry lumber atthe head
of the lakes is sold, also the greater por-
tion of the cut of the coming summer.
Buffalo concerns have recently bought
heavily of good lumber at Duluth and
Marinette. At Tonawanda the market is
stronger than at any other time since the
holidays, and prices have advanced
slightly on certain grades. There is an
exceptional demand for No. 1 cuts in 14
and 2 inch. In Chicago, while the great-
est demand is for No. 1 boards and strips,
there is a strong request for No. 1 pine
piece stuff and box lumber, at very satis-
rt.

Messrs. Alliscn, Cousland & Co., in
their monthly timber market report, dated
Ist February, say:
There is little of importance to report
during the past month. Saw millers
report having had a good start, but sellers
have been rather quiet. The stock of
spruce and white pine is small, and there
is a tendency toward higher values. An
advance in price has also taken place in
pitch pine, but the stock is still too large
to Warrant a continuance. Trade, how-
ever, cannot be said to be too promising,
shipbuilding orders being very scarce,
and other allied trades are only moderately
employed.
White pine—Waney.—There is little
change in the position of the mar‘xet, what
stock there is being very firmly held. Prices
are little altered. Quotations.—1st class
wood, 3s 6d to 3s 8d; 2nd class, 2s 2d to

is reported, but prices remain firm.

Our old mill was burned down in May last, and in its place we have built
what is at the present time the Largest Shingle Mill in B. C.
Our new Mill has 7 of the latest improved type of Dunbar machine,
which we run night and day—giving us a capacity of about 100 Million

Competent judges who have seen our new mill, tell us that it is one of
the most substantial, carefully constructed, and best planned mills in
this province.
We ourselves think it is the very best shingle mill in
B. C. ; and we know that it is equipped with all the very latest improved
Shingle Machinery.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The statistical statement presented at
the annual meeting of the Lumbermen’s
Association of Ontario last week illustrates
very clearly the strong position of white
pine lumber. Deducting the Rat Portage
stock, which is marketed in Manitoba
and the Territories, there was orly Ico,-
000,000 feet of unsold lumber at the
mils in the Georgian Bay district on
December 31st last. Since that time
considerable shipments have been made
by rail and it is probable that there is now
litle more than 50,000,000 feet of white
pine inall grades that has not been con-
tracted for. This quantity will be required
before the new cut is in shipping condi-
tion, hence a shortage in white pine
seems imminent. In the Ottawa Valley
district also the stock is exceptionally
lipht and the demand active. Notwith-
Standing this unprecedently strong posi-
tion of the pine market, it is the opinion
of manufacturers that it would not be in
the interest of the industry to take ad-
vantage of the situation by advancing
prices rapidly, as such a move would in
all probability check the consumption
and bring about the substitution of other
and less expensive classes of lumber.
The higher grades of pine may be further
advanced, as these grades are in small-
er supply than they have been for many
years. Millculls have lately shown con-
siderable strength. The supply is less
than one year ago, some manufacturers
having been obliged to make purchases
at other mills in order to supply their
customers.
Sales of hemlock are being made at
$9.50 at the mill, with higher prices for
long lengths. In hardwoods the move-
ment is about normal for midwinter. The
market is firm, with an advancing ten-
dency. In some districts the cut of hard-
wood logs this winter is not more than
half that of last season, and this cannot
but have a beneficial effect on prices.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Representatives of Quebec shippers are
now in Great Britain canvassing the
importers, and have so far met with fair
success. It is understood that a consider-
able quantity of Quebec spruce has been
placed at figures which are regarded as
satisfactory. Exceptionally high prices
are being asked for waney and square
pine timber, the quantity of which is each
year showing a decrease. The feeling of
manufacturers and shippers 1s in favor of
maintaining a firm price for Canadian
stocks generally. New Brunswick cedar
shingles arein good demand considering
the season of the year. Sales of extras
are being made at $2.40 at the mill, and
clears at $1.90, the figures on Boston
rate of freight being $3.30 for extras and
$2.85 for clears.
MANITOBA AND BRI'TISH COLUMBIA,
The lumber market in Manitoba and
the North-West Territories is quiet but
firm. The annual meeting of the West-
ern Retail Lumbermen’s Association
——————————————
was held in Winnipeg last week, ac which
it was shown that the business of the
past year had been satisfactory. The
outlook for this year 1s also good, al-
though the prospect of a general demand
by the building trades for higher wages
is Causing some anxiety, as it is feared
that it may result in the postponement of
some proposed building operations.
Prices of British Columbia lumber and
shingles are slightly stronger, with some
Improvement in demand. A _ strong
effort 1s being made by the loggers of
British Columbia to induce the Govern-
ment to repeal the act prohibiting the
export of timber from the province.
UNITED STATES.
Weather conditions in the United
States seem to have had little effect upon
the lumber market. The activity in the
Eastern States is almost unprecedenied
for this season of the year. The prepara-
tions for building operations show that
the season is likely to be an active one,
and that lumber will be required in
large quantities. Accordingly, eastern
dealers have bought heavily in the Lake
Superior district. Estimates of the quan-
tity of the cut of the coming season that
has been contracted for range from 50 to
75 per cent. of the total production.
Consumers in white pine apparently do
not expect any decline in prices, while on
the, other hand a further advance is
talked of. There is a feeling, however,
that if prices were put up much higher it
might result in curtailing the demand,
One particularly gratifying feature
is the increasing demand for low grade
pine, of which the supply is considerab
greater than of the upper grades. In
Chicago there is a pronounced scarcity of
6-inch strips in all grades, about the only
thing reaily plentiful being 4-inch No, 2
and No. 3 strips. The spruce market js
remarkably firm, although the demand is.
a little quiet.
The consumption of hardwood lumber
continues about normal. Among the
strongest items are ash and basswood,
followed closely by maple and birch. It
is believed that higher prices will rule
this year for basswood, while birch is
expected to be a good seller. A Tona-
wanda firm is reported to have sold
4,000,000 feet of hardwood lumber last
week, The toneof the hemlock market
is stronger. Prices at Tonawanda range
from $13 to $14, and the demand seems
to be on the increase. While shingles
and lath are not in great ‘demand, prices
are strong and likely to be higher, It is
estimated that at North Tonawanda there
is not Over 1,500,000 white pine lath in
the hands of dealers. Eastern spruce lath
touched $4 in New York recently.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The course of the British timber market
since the first of the year has in the main
been steady, but there is an absence of that
strong confidence which usually accom-
panies a revival of trade. The statement
of stocks on hand at the leading ports show
that there is not the heavy supply that is
It.
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
generally considered. For instance, the
stock of pine and spruce boards in the
London docks is less than at the same time
last year, while pine and spruce deals
are represented by only a slightly heavier
stock. At Liverpool the stock of Quebec
pine and spruce deals and square and
waney timber, as well as red pine timber,
is lighter than one year ago, but there is
a heavier stock of elm, birch and ash
timber, It is reported that several large
contracts for spruce have recently been
closed at an appreciable advance on last
seascn’s fizures, also that some 5,000 logs
of birch have been placed principally to
London, Liverpool and Manchester, at a
shade over the prices of last year. The
standard sizes in 9 and 11 inch deals are
regarded as likely to advance during the
year, but the course of irregular sizes and
low grade stock is in some doubt. We
are to'd that Quebec pine deals are finding
a ready sale at Hartlepool, where first and
second quality are almost exhausted and
the stock of thirds is limited. On the
whole, there seems to be a better demand
for Canadian hardwoods and prices all
round are a litt!e firmer.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
Richard Vigars, of Port Arthur, has
purchased the planing mill of M. S. Kelly
at that place, together with the stock on
hand.
The Dominion Government is asking
for tenders up to March 3rd for construc-
tion of breakwaters at Herring Cove, N.S.,
and at Upper Salmon River, Albert county,
N.B., also for the supply of poles for the
construction of 125 miles of telegraph
lines in Cape Breton.
The City of St. John, N.B., recently in-
vited tenders for 2,000 tons of birch or
maple timber and 500 tons of white pine.
The contract for supplying the timber has
been given to J. M. Scott, of Hawkshaw,
York county, at $7 per ton. A. H. Hil-
yard & Company offered 125 tons of
white pine, in lengths from 14 to 22 feet, at
$10 per ton, and the longer lengths at
$12.50 per ton. C. E. Gallagher, of Perth,
tendered on roo tons of birch or maple in
14 foot lengths, 200 tonsin 22-foot lengths,
and 200 tons in from 12 to 22-foot lengths,
at $5.70 per ton.
TRANSACTIONS IN TIMBER
PROPERTIES.
The largest private transaction in timber
properties that has taken place in Canada
for many years was consummated last
week, by which the timber limits, saw
mills, water power, and other property of
Cook Bros., of Toronto, passed into the
possession of George W. Cook, nephew
of H. H. Cook, and George J. Cook,
members of the old firm, and William
Lummis, late manager of part of Cook
Bros’. properties. The limits sold are on
the north shore of the Georgian Bay and
cover eight townships, or 300 square
miles of territory. The saw mill is located
at what is commonly called Cook’s Mills.

The exact purchase price could not be
ascertained, but it is understood that it
was inthe vicinity of $1,250,000. The
new firm will be known as Cook & Lummis.
Edgar G, Murphy, of New York, has
purchased the mill and other property of
Henry V. and Frederick Dewar at St.
George, N. B. The limits are situated
in Charlotte and York counties, and in-
clude the lands purchased from the
Gilmore estate some years ago, on which
some of the best timber of the province is
to be found. The consideration is said to
be about $60,000. It is understood that
the purchaser is acting for a syndicate
who have in view the building of a large
pulp mill at St. George.
TRADE OPENINGS
The following were among the inquiries
relating to Canadian trade received at the
Canadian Government Office in London,
Eng., during the week ending 7th Feb-
ruary, 1902 :
Imformation respecting Canadian hard-
woods for street paving purposes is asked
for by a selling agent who has experience
in placing such goods on the English
market.
A London firm at present doing a good
business in chair-stock, backs, seats, legs,
etc., ask for names of additional exporters
of such goods in Canada.
The names and addresses of the parties
may be obtained at the office of the
CANADA LUMBERMAN.
THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CanapA LUMBERMAN.)
“Cleaned out of better lines, scarce in
others,’ is the general report of millmen
and dealers on the lumber market. As
can be seen by a look over the latest
revised market list sent out from Ottawa,
there: is an advance in all the higher
grades, including sidings, strips, shorts,
shingles and lath. Good sidings accord-
ing to dimensions sell from $34 to $45,
and in some cases higher figures approach-
ing the half century mark are quoted.
Millmen who have stocks are not in a
feverish heat to sell, for they know that
the demand with the opening of the build-
ing season, before the saws again start,
will be a large one. In some lines the
high prices have placed a damper on
business.
Good pine strips, according to dimen-
sions, range from $29 to $35, and shorts
for different sizes range between $20 and
$30.
Lath and shingles furnish strong feat-
ures of the market. No. 1 white pine lath
sells as high as $3.25, and is scarce at
that; No. 2° is quoted at $2 to $2.25.
Red pine lath is quoted at $2 to $2.50.
Cedar shingles are in the fancy price list,
selling at $2 to $2.25 for clear butts and
$2.60 to $3 for xxx. The quotations on
pine shingles are xxxx $2.50 to $3, clear
butts $1.75 to-$2, and xx $1.25 to $1.50.
In this connection it may be stated that
the shingle of the Ottawa Valley is an 18
inch product, while that of the Georgian Bay

mills is 16 inches wide. In former years
the latter width was turned out at Whit-
ney, but as there was little or no demand
a change was made to the wider and
more popular shingle. Occasional orders
for the 16 inch shingle have to be filled
at the western mills.
A record in the lumber business has
been established at Mr. J. R. Booth’s
mill. Twenty-four hours from stump to
saw reaches the limit where the distance
is taken into consideration. Logs are
brought from the Madawaska district, 180
miles distant, to the Ottawa mill over a
spur line and the Parry Sound branch of
the C. A. Ry. Trees are felled, fashioned
into logs and loaded on cars all in one
day. The run by rail is made by night,
and at 7 o'clock next morning the logs are
on hand at the mill. A 16 foot log brovght
down recently measured seven feet across
the butt. In one sleigh load there was
3,500 feet of lumber. Who says the lum-
ber industry is declining ?
Negotations have not yet been completed
for the erection of the mill at Ottawa re-

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The position of ;the white pine market
is extremely satisfactory. Manufacturers
have sold heavily of the coming season’s
cut, and are receiving many enquiries
for stock for shipment to the United
States. The Turner Lumber Company,
of Midland, is reported to have sold
29,000,000 feet, to be manufactured
the coming season, to the Skillings,
Whitneys and Barnes Company, of
Tonawanda, who have also purchased
the Parry Sound Lumber Company’s
cut, estimated between 25,000,000 and
30,000,000 feet. Easton & Company, of
Albany, are said to have purchased the
entire cuc of McArthur Bros’. mill at
Little Current, estimated at 30,000,000
feet, while other large transactions have
taken place which ,indicate that no
difficulty will be found in marketing all
the white pine lumber that will be
manufactured this year. Other United
States firms have purchased a large
quantity of logs and have arranged to
havem manufactu :| at mills
Georgian Bay district. While all grades
of white pine are strong, there is an
exceptionally good demand for boards
12 inches and wider. Mill culls are also
moving actively considering the season of
the year, and box grades have come into
prominence recently. The scarcity of
lath continues and is not likely to be
relieved until the mills resume sawing.
Hardwoods are a littie firmer and
manufacturers and dealers look for an
expansion in the demand as soon as-the
spting season opens up.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The position of spruce lumber is
practically unchanged. The opinion is
quite general that lumber intended for
the local and United States markets will
hold firm until midsummer, and manufac-
turers and dealers are making their
arrangements accordingly. The buying
of British spruce deals would seem to
indicate that shippers are confident of
their position, although it 1s understood
that less than the usual quantity has so
far been placed with British importers.
Spruce lath, which was weak early in
January, has recovered, and sales of 136
inch are now being made to Boston at
43. Extra cedar shingles are firmer, the
quotation on extras for Boston delivery
being $3.35.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
Lumber manufacturers and wholesale
dealers have booked a considerable num-
ber of orders for spring delivery, and .are
looking forward to an active season, as
building operations in Manitoba and tne
Territories promise to beof large volume.
A few recent price changes have taken
place. B.C. cedar base has declined $5
per thousand, making the price now
$42.50 in Winnipeg. Cedar casing has
declined $7.50, and B. C. fir dimension
$2.50 to $4 per thousand. The export
trade of British Columbia has started off
well. Several vessels have been char-
tered to load lumber and quotations are
somewhat higher. In anticipation of the
enforcement this spring of the Act
prohibiting the export of timber from
British Columbia, the price of cedar logs
has advanced $2 per thousand feet.
UNITED STATES.
No material change in the lumber
situation has occurred in the past week,
the market continuing strong and the
buying being of a most liberal character.
Stocks in white pine are low at wholesale
markets as well as in distributing yards,
Wholesale lumbermen have bought very
heavily, it being estimated that more
than half the entire 1902 product of
white pine on the great lakes has already
passed into second hands, while some
districts have sold more thanthree-fourths
of the cut. The annual meeting of the
Mississippi Valley Lumbermen’s Associ-
ation was held last week, but no action —
was taken inthe direction of advancing —
the price list. The report of the secre-
tary, however, showed a_ pronounced
shortage in the stocks in the hands of
manufacturers. It is said that Buffalo
and Tonawanda dealers are likely to
make an all-round advance in the price of
white pine lumber, as they believe this
course is warranted by the high prices”
that are asked by manufacturers and by
the outlook for building operations and
the lumber demand generally. Our
Buffalo list this week shows an advance
of one dollar per thousand on fine com. |
mon and No. 1 and No. 2 cutting-up
stock, also $2 per thousand on thick
white ash. The hardwood market has)
undergone a_ distinct improvement,
Stocks have become low and the demand
greater, and altogether higher prices are
looked for. Oak and maple are leading,
but the supply of the latter is too large to’
warrant much of an advance. The Wis-
consin Hardwood Lumbermen’s Associa:
tion, at a special meeting at Wausau on —
February 13th, put into effect a new list
advancing most hardwood items from $1
to $3 per thousand feet. This is looked
upon as the forerunner of other aavances.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The British timber market has not kept
up the activity which characterized the
trade of the month of January. Recent
unfavorable weather has checked build-
ing Operations, and buying of lumber has
accordingly fallen off. Importers do not
seem confident regarding the future of
prices, and are not disposed to enter into
large contracts at the figuresthat are
asked by shippers. Accordingly, different
views of the market are expressed. From
one port comes the report that the *
representatives of Quebec shippers have ©
put through no large contracts, while the _
information from another port is that an .
average amount of business in contract- —
ing for the coming season’s requirements |
has been done. It is certain, however, |
that such contracts as have been closed |
show a substantial increase on the prices
of one year ago. Sales of white pire
deals have been made to Glasgow at an
advance of 20 shillings to 30 shillings per
standard over last season’s quotations, /
correspondent at Cardiff states that the
high prices which shippers are asking foy

spruce have caused a run on Austrian
whitewood, which merchants are getting
in long lengths and good widths at rather
less than the price asked for spruce
Another opinion is that spruce will keep
at about its present price for several
months to come, even after the first
consignments begin to arrive, for the
reason that the consumption will probably
keep ahead of the import.
At recent London
second quality 3x9 spruce deals brought
£9 138 to Sto, and third quality £o per
standard. For 3x11 fourth quality pine
$12 was obtained, and for one lot £12 55,

class of lumber.

Mr. Lemay has also purchased other large
lines of white pine, basswood and ash,
and is also carrying a large quantity of
log run spruce.
Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Company,
in their market report of February 1st,
review the lumber market as follows :
“During the fortnight there has been only
one arrival, the “E. A. Sabean,” to our
address, with 62,000 feet shippers and
25,000 feet second quality white pine,
138,000 feet hemlock and a small lot of
spruce. Dealers are heavily stocked, and
it was with difficulty that we could place
it at $20.60 and $16 respectively for white
pine ; $13 for shipping and $11 for second
quality hemlock ; and $18.50 and $16 for
shipping and second quality spruce. It is
very desirable that all receipts should
cease for some time to come, in order that
dealers may get rid of a fair portion of
their present supply. Only one small lot
of 42,000 dimension shingles has arrived
by Halifax steamer, which we placed at
$6.79 for 5-inch and $7.39 for 6, 7 and 8-
inch, There is very little demand for
laying ; no arrival has taken place, but we
are daily expecting a large cargo, about
half of which is in fulfilment of contract.”
THE BOSTON MARKET.
There is a better call at Boston for
spruce lumber, notwithstanding that the
storm has hindered matters somewhat.
It is mentioned by leading houses that
trade is uncommonly good for February,
with promise of an active market early.
Quotations are fully sustained: Ten and 12
inch dimensions, $20 ; 9 inch and under,
$18 ; 10 and 12 inch random lengths,
10 feet and up, $19 to $19.50; 2x3) 2

Hemlock is really firmer, with the de-
mand good for the season: Boards, 125-14
and 16 feet stock, $14.50 to $15 for good

THE COOPERAGE MARKET.
The Sutherland, Innes Company,
Chatham, Ont., in the National Coopers’
Journal, review the cooperage market as
follows :
The sales of No. 1 stock in 28% and 30,
including elm, during January have been
extremely aclive, especially in flour-barrel
staves. Meal-barrel staves have received
a fairly active inquiry, though not as brisk
as expected. The inquiry has been suffi-
cient to reduce the stocks on hand last
fall to a minimum basis, at which there will
probably be no difficulty in disposing of
long before the present season's output is
sought after, while oak-heading sales have
been fairly brisk.

ing somewhat actively, and fetching fairly
remunerative prices. Heading sales have
not been as brisk as many manufacturers
would like to see them. The stocks in
hand of the most salable lines and sizes
are not very heavy, and in the larger sizes
of basswood manufacturers have advanced
the prices, and are only contracting sales
on a firm and sure basis, on the supposition
that buyers will make active and ready
disposition of the parcels they secure.
So far the weather for logging opera-
tions has been anything but desirable in
the Western States and Canada. The
absence of sleighing and the high prices
prevailing for timber have prevented mill
Owners from putting in anything but light
stocks, and the majority of factories have
not secured any timber at all.
The demand at present for white-oak or
light staves is very‘lactive andj‘well-
It contains the names of concerns enpeged in
the following lines, together with their
financial standing ;
Lumber Lines—Cedar Posts, (Dealers and
Monufacturers), Interior Finish Manufacturers,
Moulding Manufacturers, Lumber Dealers,

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The active buying of Ontario white
pine lumber which has been reported for
some time past shows no indication of
falling off, but on the contrary new buyers
have entered the market and the competi-
tion is keener than ever. The Edward
Hines Lumber Company, of Chicago,
have purchased heavily and have taken
a large quantity of lumber which would
Otherwise probably have found a market
in the Eastern States. The quantity of
Stock of the coming season’s cut that has
been contracted for is almost unprece-
dented in the history of the trade, while
the stock of dry lumber at the mills is so
small that manufacturers are obliged in
some instances to refuse orders on ac-
count of inability to fillthem. Sales of
certain grades of lumber have recently
been made in the Ottawa valley at prices
higher than ever before realized. This
applies not only to lumber, but also to
square and waney pinetimber. Lath and
shingles are especially strong. It is im-
possible for dealers to secure lath enough
to fill orders, and shingles have been
bought up to such an extent that the
market is almost bare. Winter mills are
said to be selling shingles green from the
saw. Conditions are most favorable for
a sharp advance in prices, but it isa
question whether this will occur except
in certain grades in which the shortage is
very pronounced. Hardwood lumber is
looking better. Old stocks are being
worked off, and the new cut will not be
heavy. Maple has shown considerable
life and seems likely to sell higher.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Quebec shippers have purchased a
considerable quantity of spruce deals for
shipment to Great Britain. Although
prices have not transpired, it is reported
that they are in some instances higher
than those of last year. The low freight
rates will enable the shippers to place the
Jumber on the British market at a small
cost, and by this means they may be
enabled to make a fair profit, but the
position of the British timber trade does
not seem to altogether warrant the high
prices that "are said to have been paid in
one or two instances. There is a good
demand for spruce clapboards for ship-
ment to the Eastern States, prices there
continuing firm and giving promise of an
early advance. New Brunswick cedar
shingles are in strong request, and the
present price of $3.30 for extras, Boston
delivery, is being willingly paid by
dealers. It is believed that the scarcity
of shingles will result in higher prices for
all kinds within the next two months.
UNITED STATES.
With the advance of the year the
demand for lumber in all parts of the
United States is increasing, and it will
probably be heavier than last year. The
present situation would seem to indicate
that there will be a shortage in some
grades of pine, and according!y prices
are decidedly strong. While no united
action was taken last week by the Missis-
sippi Valley Lumbermen’s Association,
the Minneapolis manufacturers have put
into effect an independent list making
the following advances on the December
list: All dimensions and timbers, No.
3 boards, No. 1, 2 and 3 fencing in 6-inch
widths, and No. 1 and 2 fencing in 4-inch
widths, an advance of 50 cents ; inch
finish, D stock and better and clear
Norway, and thick finish, $2 ; No. 1, 2
and 3 shop common, $1 ; 4 and 6-inch
flooring, $2; 4 and 6-inch siding, $1 ;
all kinds of lath, 25 cents. Inspite of
these advances the demand shows no
abatement. The price list committee of
the Wisconsin Valley Lumbermen’s
Association have decided upon the follow-
ing advances : Timber and piece stuff,
50 cents; No. 1 and No.2 boards and
strips, 50 cents ; selects and better, $1 ;
lath, 25 cents ; shingles, 25 cents. Sim-
ilar action has been taken during the
week by the Pacific Coast Lumber
Manufacturers’ Association, the increases
being $1 on flooring and drop siding and
all cedar and spruce lumber, and 50 cents
onlath. There is a general scarcity of
lath all over the northern country. In
Chicage yards No. 1 white pine is quoted
at $4.25, No. 1 mixed $4, and No. 2
mixed and hemlock $3.75. Hardwoods
are coming into more prominence ; in
fact, the requirement 1s said to be quite
large, furniture factories being among the
best buyers. Buffalo and Tonawanda
dealers are advancing their prices on
several grades. Maple is plentiful, while
basswood is scarce.
GREAT BRITAIN.
There does not seem to be much life
tothe British timber trade. Some buy-
ing has been in evidence, but the transac-
tions have in most cases represented
small lots of lumber. Shippers are making
a strong effort to close contracts, without
tie

however, being willing to reduce their
asking prices. A consignment of spruce
deals, all 3x9 and of good average
length, arrived at Liverpool recently and
is being store J, the shippers declining to
sell at less than £8 ros. c. i. f. The stock
of 3 x 9 1n best deals is small. Represent-
atives of Quebec and New Brunswick
shipping houses are making their usual
trips through Ireland. 3usiness has
been done in spruce and sed pine deals,
dut the purchases of white pine have been
very light. A correspondent writes that
shippers expect to get £5 15s f. o. b. for
an ordinary specification of spruce. Ata

second quality pine sold at £16 16s,
which was considered a fair price in view
of the quality of the — specification.

The demand for hemlock is assuming a
stronger tone than for several months.
Piece stuff sells in the Chicago market at
about $12.50 in carload lots. Long hem-
lock is in special request and is difficult to
find. In New York city the base price of
hemlock is $15 and in Buffalo $13.50, but
it is thought that an advance will soon be
put into effect.
THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
The sale of the extensive Mackay limits
was the stellar attraction in local lumber
circles last month. Although the property
was sold by public auction, it was a fore-
gone conclusion that Mr. J. R. Booth,
the veteran lumber baron, would be the
purchaser against all comers. Mr. Booth
made but one bidand that one was entered,
on the earnest request of Mr. Peter Ryan,
auctioneer, who had threatened to with-
draw the limits after the other bids were
all entered. Mr. Booth secured the limits,
12934 miles in extent and situated on the
river Amable du Fond, for $655,000. The
limits were purchased 48 years ago from
the Ontario Government for $1,800. Mr.
Mackay’s purchase certainly brought him
no regrets, as the square timber taken of
the limits since has netted him, it is esti-
mated, over $3,000,000. The limits are
still well timbered with white and red pine
of superior quality, suitable for saw-
logs. The limits are well watered’ and
permit of a short average draw. Included
in the property sold were a well equipped
saw, planing and shingle mill at Eauclaire
Station, on the main line of the C. P. R.,
and slides and dams. Virgin forest
covers part of the limits, which contain
considerable spruce, suitable for pulp
making. An outlet for this will probably
be found in the pulp mills which Mr.
Booth proposes to erect at the Chaudiere
opposite his present mill. The sale of the
limits was a record one, according to
Auctioneer Ryan, in price obtained and
time considered. It was probably the
largest sale ever made by public auction
in Canada, and it was all over inside
thirty minutes.
The thaw and heavy rains which marked
the closing days of February have added
to the weight of troubles the present

. Season has brought to the lumber opera-
tors. The roads, which were poor in
some places, will be rendered impassable
and a considerable quantity of the present
season's cut will in all likelihood have tobe
left on the limits until next year. This, of
course, means a shortage in the supply for
the mills. Disease in the camps proved a
great handicap in the log production, and
combined with the climatic conditions,
has brought the cut below the average.
In some districts, on the other hand, the
thaws have done good service by reduc-
ing the great depth of snow. Mr. Robert
Hurdman, the veteran lumberman, reports
operations on his limits as progressing
satisfactorily.
The production of cedar ties has been
seriously interfered with by the adverse
climatic conditions of the past winter.
The lack of frost in the earlier part and
the subsequent heavy snow-falls made
access to the cedar swamps very difficult,
and as a result there has been a marked
decrease inthe output of ties. The de-
mands of the railways will be met only
March 5, 1902
part way, and prices are bound to advance
in a considerable degree. Another factor
in the advance in price is the yearly in-
creasing difficulty of getting suitable
stock, Dealers now have to go farther
afield. Last summer only about 10,000
ties were loaded between Ottawa and
Coteau, according to a reliable authority,
where 12 years ago 150,000 were handled.
The lowly tie is bound to become more
valuable as the years bring the extension
of the railways, and the reduction of the
immediate available supply of ties.
The Rideau Lumber Company has just
closed the sale of a raft of square timber
to W. & J. Sharples, of Quebec. The raft
was taken out on the Dumoine river
during the present season. Robert Hurd-
man got out one raft on the same stream
and three on the Kippewa. A few years
ago five times this amount of square
timber was taken out on these streams.
The Rideau Lumber Company got a price
considerably in advance of last year's

Our old mill was burned down in May last, and in its place we have built

Competent judges who have seen our new mill, tell us that it is one of

CANADA LUMBERMAN
THE BOSTON MARKET.
While the spruce lumber position at
Boston is very firm, trade has ruled dull
since the storm, which interfered a good
deal with building. Quotations are not
reduced in the slightest degree. On the
contrary, prominent buyers have requested
sellers for the mills to guarantee them
against further advances in prices: Ten
and 12 inch dimensions, $20 ; 9 inch and
under, $18; to and 12 inch random
lengths, 10 feet and up, $19 to $19.50; 2x3,
2x4, 2x5, 2x6, 2x7and 3x4, 10 feet
and up, $16 to $16.50; all other ran-
doms, 9 inch and under, 10 feet and up,
$17 to $17.50 ; 5 inch and up merchantable
boards, $15 to $16 ; matched boards, $18
to $19 ; out spruce boards, $13; bundle
furring, $16 to $17.
While hemlock has been ruling quiet for
a few days, for the same reason as spruce,
the position is very firm, with a further
advance suggested. Boards, 12, 14 and
16 feet stock, $14.50 to $15 for good
eastern; Vermont, $13 to $14; random,
eastern, $13.50 to $14; Pennsylvania, No.
1, $16 to $17; No. 2, $14.50.
Shingles are in short supply and firm,
though the demand is the usual quiet one
of winter: Extra cedar, $3.30 to $3.35 ;
clear, $2.90 to $3; second clear, $2.35
to $2.50; sap,$2.10 ; extra No. 1, $1.75
to $1.0 ; Washington and British Colum-
bia red cedar, 16-inch, five butts to 2
inches, $3.45 to $3.50; 18-inch, $4.25 to
$4.50.
Clapboards are scarce and firm. At
the same time the demand is small:
Extra spruce,'$35 to $36; clear, $33 to
$34; second clear, $29 to $32; extra
No. 1, $20 to $23; pine extra, $50
to $52 ; clear, $45 to $48 ; second clear,
$40 to $42.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
Another circumstance has transpired
to further strengthen the position of
white pine lumber. The recent mild
weather has seriously interfered with
logging Operations, and in many districts
prevented entirely the hauling of logs to
the streams. Should the weather con-
tinue mild, a large quantity of logs will
necessarily be left in the woods. An
Operator in the Georgian Bay district
states that fully one-third of the winter’s
cut of logs on the north shore remains to
be hauled, and that the present outlook
is anything but encouraging. Asa large
proportion of the white pine production
ofthe coming season has already been
contracted for, a considerable reduction
in the cut of the mills would be likely to
bring about a famine in this class of
lumber. The market at the present
time, therefore, is exceptionally strong.
Ottawa valley manufacturers speak most
hopefully of the prospective demand.
The heavy buying in that district of late
by United States concerns has almost
wiped out the supply of good Jumber,
while the stock of the lower grades has
been reduced toa point which gives the
seller the advantage in effecting sales.
The building season is opening up satis-
factorily, although in Toronto talk of
labor troubles has produced a somewhat
unsettled feeling and may restrict the
volume of building until the matter is
finally settled. “The open weather has
created a_ brisk enquiry for shingles.
Hemlock lumber is_ stronger, sales in
Toronto ranging from $12.50 to $13,
Implement and furniture factories are
buying hardwoods liberally, and although
prices have not materially improved, it
is believed that the foundation is being
laid for a substantial advance later on.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The probability of early spring sawing
has caused a slight weakening of the
spruce lumber market in respect to local
trade. There has been an average
input of logs, and if weather conditions
this spring should be favorable for
lumbermen, the mills are likely to make
a large cut. Some manufacturers will
this year saw a smaller quantity of
British deals than usual and give more
attention to the United States and home
markets. Prices of clapboards continue
high, sales of extra spruce having been
made for Boston delivery at $36. Extra
cedar shingles are selling at $3.30, while
some manufacturers are holding out fora
ten-cent advance on this figure. Spruce
laths have improved, the average quota-
tion for 15g inch, on Boston freight rate,
being $3.10.
UNITED STATES.
Adverse weather conditions have
affected the lumber conditions of the past
ten days. In the Eastern States storms
and high water have limited the volume
of business, and in almost every section
some trouble from this cause is reported,
In the logging districts the weather has
been so mild that it has been necessary
to cease hauling in some instances, and
as the result a shortage in the log crop
may be encountered. This condition has
further strengthened the white pine mar-
ket. Eastern dealers report ‘that they
have sufficient orders or hand to keep
them busy for another month. A general
advance in the price of low grade pine
seems to be due, and it is the wonder of
the trade that it has not taken place,
Hardwood prices are showing a tendency
to advance. Considering the light stock
of most grades, prices are not as high
proportionately as white pine. Numerous
inquiries are reported for maple and ash.
Lath are scarce and high in price.
Dealers are picking up shingles wherever
they can, and although the sawing
season may open earlier than usual, the
supply is not likely to be more than
equal to the demand. Best 18-inch
hemlock shingles are quoted in New
York at $3.15 to $3.20, and clear pine at
$3.75. Hemlock boards and piece stuff
are selling in the Saginaw valley at $11
and $12.50. At North Tonawanda the
base price for hemlock is $13.50 to
$14.00.
GREAT BRITAIN,
The position of the British market has
not materially changed. Operations in
Baltic and Swedish goods have been
characterized by indifference, while the
buying of Canadian lumber has been of a
more careful character than usual. The
standard sizes of deals are meeting with
a ready sale, but there is much difficulty
in disposing of inferior qualities. A
report from Manchester states that spruce
deals are offering c.i.f. for the coming
season at about 15 shillings a standard
under the highest figures touched in Igor,
but even at these prices buyers are not
eager to close contracts. This statement
no doubt refers to New Brunswick and
DI;
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
Nova Scotia spruce, as it is understood
that a considerable quantity of Quebec
spruce has been placed through the usual
channels, The present stocks in Man-
chester and Liverpool contain a large
quantity of 7 and 8 inch deals, 9 x 3 and
1I x 3 being very scarce. The claim is
made that in recent years shippers have
reduced the quantity of wide sizes in
their specifications, and while the usual
cut of deals formerly contained 25 per
cent. IT x 3 and 4o percent. 9 by 3, row
Io and 15 per cent. respectively are all
that is incladed, the practice being to
take out the wide deals and sell them at
enhanced prices. It is contended that
this practice is not satisfactory to the
British importer. The demand for
timber is steady; waney pine and rock elm
are scarce and strong, while square pine
and soft elm are inactive and weaker.
There is a large stock of ash at several
ports, as owing to the high price sub-
stitutes are being used to some ex'ent.
STOCKS AND PRICES
The city of Kingston, Ont., is asking
for tenders up to the 13th inst. for the
supply of 200,0c0 feet B. M. of pine plank,
3, 2 and 1% inch, and 40,000 lineal feet of
cedar sleepers, 5 x 4 inch.
Thomas Pitts& Company, of Bay City,
sold on March ist to Cleveland parties
8,000,000 feet of lumber to be manu-
factured at Cutler, Ont., this season.
The price is not given,but is understood to
be about $16.50.
The wharf to be built by the Dominion
Government at Caraquet, N. B., will
require 306,000 feet of spruce timber,
98,000 feet hemlock timber, 142,000 feet
birch timber, to be sawed, 1,370,000 feet
hemlock logs, and 63,000 lineal feet ballast
poles, of spruce, 7 inches at top. The
contractors for this work are Simons &
Burpee, of Gibson, N. B.
Sims Bros., of Little Current, Ont.,
confirm the report that they have sold
this season’s cut of logs to the Edward
Hines Lumber Company, of Chicago,
They advise us that they have also
just sold last year’s cut of white pine to
Potter, Teare & Company and the Sag-
inaw Bay Company, of Cleveland. Good
prices were realized in each case, the
sales aggregating about $100,000.
Concerning the Barbadoes lumber mar-

being filled up, brought only $1.70.
———————
THE GLASGOW MARKET.
The following review of the Glasgow
timber market is furnished by Messrs.
Edmiston & Mitchells, under date of 28th
February :
There has been more activity in the
timber trade this month than last, and a
fair amount of business has heen done at
firm prices. Several shipments of Quebec
and Lower Port spruce and red pine are
rived during February, and in all cases a
sale was effected from the ships’ side at
satisfactory prices. The amount of busi-
ness done here in contracting forward for
Quebec timber and deals has been of only
moderate dimensions, due no doubt to the
high prices quoted by the shippers. White
pine, both in logs and deals, contiunes
very dear, and seems likely to continue so
from all appearances. Deliveries from
stock have been reasonably well maintain-
ed during the month, and of pine goods
particularly the amount on hand must now
be very small.
The Clyde shipbuilding returns show
that 16 vessels, aggregating about 41,000
tons, were launched, compared with 15
vessels of 60,000 tons at the same period
last year. Unfortunately the amount of
new business being placed is by no means
corsiderable, which is not surprising, in
face of the low freights ruling. The
house-building trade is showing a con-
siderable revival fortunately, and new
work amounting to about half a million
sterling has been fixed during the past
two months,
Wuite Pine—Businessduringthe month
has been quiet. We hear ot no transac-
tions in waney boardwood, but there have
been a few sales of first-class squ re
deckwood, prices ranging from 2s. 6d. to
2s. 9d. per cubic foot, according to size.
The stock of first quality waney pine is
practically exhausted in first hands. There
is, however, more than sufficient of square
wood for prospective wants.
RED PINE—We hear of no sales to re-
port. Prices, however, are firm, the
stock being low. “%

ELM—There has been a moderate en-
quiry during the month, and quite a num-
ber of sales. Prices of first-class rock elm
are firm, but there is a disposition to ac-
cept lower prices tor soft elm, as the stock
of this class is heavy. “8
QUEBEC BiRCH—The amount of business
done during the month has been only
trifling, and prices are unchanged at about
16d. for 14 inch average. The stock on
hand is small, and there is very little in-
quiry.
N. S. BircH—The stock on hand moves
off very slowly, and prices show no im-
provement at a penny over the inch.
QUEBEC PLANKS—The stock of Quebec
planks have been cleared out, but there is
still a large amount of Lower Port planks
onhand. A shipment of about 100 stan-
dards Halifax planks arrived this month,
and was disposed of at £6 10s. per stan-
dard ‘‘ex quay” terms.

AsH—The market continues to be quite
unusually dull, and there is not now the
demand that used to exist in this market.
When the price was-raised so mucha year
or two ago, the principi! consumers or
Quebec ash looked out for a cheaper sub-
stitute and found it in poplar, and now a
number of them prefer the latter. The
stock on hand is large, and is ample for
requirements for some time to come.

THE BOSTON MARKET.
Again a snow-storm has made a quiet
market on spruce lumber. But if orders
are wanted—anything that has to be
sawn—full prices have to be paid,
Small randoms on the market, in car-
goes that must be sold, hardly bring
full prices, but even such lumber prom-
ises to do better as soon as house-
building starts. Quotations are steady :
Ten and 12 inch dimensions, $20 ; g inch
and under, $18; 10 and 12 inch random
lengths, 10 feet and up, $19 to $19.50; 2X3,

Spicer Shingle Mill Go., Limite
It is not the purpose of this advertisement to try and convince the Lum-
ber Trade of Canada that we are the only company in British Columbia
manufacturing and shipping shingles in large quantities, or that we ‘‘ know
it all.” We recognize that ‘“‘there are others” and that we are not the
only ‘‘pebble on the beach.”” To try and make you believe that we are the
only people who can supply you promptly and in large quantities with a
high-grade shingle would not only be a fish and a bear story combined,
but it would be gall of the bitterest kind.
Our competitors ir the shingle business in B. C. are nice people, and we
presume that they km >w their business ; but we are nice people too, and as
we have been in the trade as long as any of them, and a great deal
longer than the most of them, we know that we know our business, and
that our competitors are not in the possession of any points of value regard-
ing the manufacture of shingles which has not come to our knowledge.
Our old mill was burned down in May last, and in its place we have built
what is at the present time the Largest Shingle Mill in B. C.
Our new Mill has 7 of the latest improved type of Dunbar machine,
which we run night and day—giving us a capacity of about 100 Million
a year.
Competent judges who have seen our new mill, tell us that it is one of
the most substantial, carefully constructed, and best planned mills in
this province.
We ourselves think it is the very best shingle mill in
B. C. ; and we know that it is equipped with all the very latest improved
Shingle Machinery.
Will the trade please note that our contract with the Pacific Coast
Lumber Co. closed on December 31, 1901.
Orders sent to us by letter or
telegraph shall have our best attention.
We want our share ot your shingle business, and can guarantee
you satisfaction in every particular.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
As the season advances the outlook for
the lumber trade becomes more promis-
jing. The number of permits issued
within the past fortnight for new buildings

i a large quantity of lumber wil: be consumed

sin building operations. It
{ probable that serious labor troubles in
; that city will be averted, in which case a
, season of great activity may confidently
jbe predicted. In other parts of the pro-
} vince there promises to be. more building
4 The lumber market re-
; mild weather, which almost put an end to
; logging operations for the time being.
is doubtful whetherthere will be suffi-
cient cold weather, accompanied by the
necessary snow fall, during the next
month to enable logging operations to be
completed as arranged, while it is feared
that there will be a scarcity of water for
the drives this spring. It is predicted
that weather conditions will curtail the
quantity of logs available for this year’s
sawing by at least 20 per cent.
The stocks at the mills are so small
that buyers are finding difficulty in obtain-
ing the neccssary assortments. There is
practically no good lumber in white pine
that has not been contracted for. Of the
common grades the supply is more plenti-
ful, although it is estimated that nothing
will be left in the yards when the mills
resume operations. Some manufacturers
are asking $14.50 to $15.50 for box and
common, the latter for 12 to 16 feet
lengths. For 1 by 10 and 12 inch mill culls
$12.at the millis asked. Hemlock lumber
sells on the basis of $9.50 for 2 x 4 up to
12 inch, in lengths from 12 to 14 feet. It
is almost impossible to give a quotation on
white pine shingles, as very few manufac-
turers have any for sale. For No. 1 pine
lath as high as $2.85 at the mill has been
asked, but the average quotation is about
$2.75.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Taere is not so much life to the spruce
market as earlier in the year. The fact
that the British trade has not improved to
the extent that was expected has restricted
the volume of buying on that account, but
holders of Quebec spruce deals are show-
ing no anxiety as to the future, believing
that the market will absorb the supply at
good prices. Fancy prices are being
paid for clapboards for shipment to the
United States, where the supply is very
light. The quotation for No. 1, Boston
delivery, is $38. Cedar shingles continue
to sell on the basis of $3.30 for extras.
The log supply has become an important
factor in the market. What is believed to
be an early breaking up of winter has
resulted in the decision of one or two
operators not to attempt to drive their
logs this year, as unless there should be
large snow-falls within the next month,
the streams will not be suitable for driving
purposes. It is estimtated that the cut
this year on the Upper St. John river in
New Brunswick was about 130,000,000
feet, which is about the same as last year.
On the Lower St. John, however, unfavor-
able weather conditions curtailed the
output. The total cut of spruce logs this
winter was perhaps slightly less than one
year ago, with the probability that a con-
siderable proportion of.the production will
not reach the mills for this season’s sawing.
UNITED STATES,
Our Albany price list this week shows
an advance of one dollar per thousand in
the price of 1 to 2 inch fine common
and 1 by 12 inch shippers. This indicates
the tendency of the white market. The
recent mild weather has stimulated the
buying of lumber. Dealers are picking up
stock in the Lake Superior district and
are paying prices which a few months
ago would have been regarded as ex-
cessive. There is anactive demand for
No. 4 boards. This is one of the hopeful
features of the white pine situation, as
the supply of lower grades, while not
large, is much greater than of good lum-
ber. Should the demand develop as now
seems probable, something approaching a
famine in white pine will likely be exper-
ienced, particularly as the available crop
of logs for the sawing season has been
reduced in quantity by the recent mild
weather. Spruce lumber is firm. The
amount of dry stock on hand is gradually
decreasing, whereas the new cut will not
be in shipping condition for some time
yet. Hemlock lumber has improved of
late. An advance of one dollar per thous-
and has been made, the base price being
$14.50 at Buffalo, $15 at Albany, $16 at
New York, and $17 at Boston. It is
claimed that the demand is greater than
the supply.

GREAT BRITAIN,
We cannot report a material improve-

by importers,
as there is an impression that
little buying is being done
the prices
which shippers are asking are too high,
and that sooner or later they must be
adjusted to the level of the market. The
consumption is moderately active, but
dealers are obtaining their requirements
from the stocks now landed, which jn
most cases can be bought on more liberal
terms than in the case of new stock to
arrive. First quality pine deals of broad
average are inquired for, and recent sales
have been made at high prices. The
lower qualities are less firm. The outlook
for spruce does not seem to be as good as
it was two months ago. Prices at auction

logs cut in their own camps about all

bebind with their work. Hamill Bros.

Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Company
in their report of March ist, say of the
Barbadoes market ; “The arrivals have
been the “* Mercedese,” from Belliveau
Cove, N.S., and the “Hattie P,” from
Annapolis, N.S. The cargo of the former
was sold for another market ; that of the
latter, consisting of 40,000 feet white
pine, 44,000 feet spruce and 5,000 plain
hemlock, has been sold at $20.05 shipping,
$14.50 second quality white pine ; $17.05
shipping, $13.05 second quality spruce ;
$11 hemlock. It is reported that other
cargoes are on the way, and the market
is heavily stocked. No receipts of
shingles have taken place.
There are in the St, John river above
and below the Fredericton booms and at
Grand Falls, N B., about 30,000,000 feet of
loose logs which have come down from
the drives and are now in the ice, Ata
meeting of representative lumbermen
held Jast week, tenders were opened
for delivering the logs at the different
mills, but as they were considered too
high, it was decided that the lumbermen
should do the work themselves, under the
direction of J. Fraser Gregory. The logs
are so situated that should the ice
suddenly run the logs would be in danger
of being carried out to the sea.

' Stories
ber Trade of Canada that we are the only company in British Columbia
manufacturing and shipping shingles in large quantities, or that we ‘‘ know
it all.” We recognize that ‘‘there are others’ and that we are not the
only ‘pebble on the beach.” To try and make you believe that we are the
only people who can supply you promptly and in large quantities with a
high-grade shingle would not only be a fish and a bear story combined,
but it would be gall of the bitterest kind.
Our competitors ir the shingle business in B. C. are nice people, and we
presume that they knw their business ; but we are nice people too, and as
we have been in the trade as long as any of them, and a great deal
longer than the most of them, we know that we know our business, and
that our competitors are not in the possession of any points of value regard-
ing the manufacture of shingles which has not come to our knowledge.
Our old mill was burned down in May last, and in its place we have built
what is at the present time the Largest Shingle Mill in B. C.
Our new Mill has 7 of the latest improved type of Dunbar machine,
which we run night and day—giving us a capacity of about 100 Million
a year.
Competent judges who have seen our new mill, tell us that it is one of
the most substantial, carefully constructed, and best planned mills in
this province. We ourselves think it is the very best shingle mill in
B. C. ; and we know that it is equipped with all the very latest improved
Shingle Machinery.
Will the trade please note that our contract with the Pacific Coast
Lumber Co. closed on December 31, 1901. Orders sent to us by letter or
telegraph shall have our best attention.

you Satisfaction in every particular.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
With one exception the outlook for the
lumber trade is of the brightest char-
acter. That exception is the possibility of
labor troubles in one or two of the larger
cities of the province. Whether the
present difficulties will be amicably
arranged is a matter of much uncertainty,
but with this obstacle removed there
will doubtless be a large amount of
building throughout the province. The
demand for lumber during March was_
considerably greater than in the previous
month. The heavy buying by United
States concerns has continued. It is
estimated by one who recently visited
Georgian Bay manufacturing points that
the greater portion of the coming sea-
son’s production has already been con-
tracted for. This is probably correct,
inasmuch as the possible production has
been reduced by the early breaking up
of logging operations. In addition to
the shortage in the quantity of logs that
will reach the streams, it is probable that
there will below water for driving and
that many logs that have been success-
fully banked will not reach the mills.
The weather conditions of this spring
would seem to have removed all pros-
pects of lower prices for white pine dur-
ing this year, and it would not be surpris-
ing if there should be a material apprecia-
tion in some grades. Even if the British
market shou!d continue depressed, there
will be no difficulty in marketing all the
lumber manufactured, as a considerable
shortage in the production of the United
States is predicted. Hardwoods hnve at
last followed the course of white pine and
are showing improvement. The buying
is of a character which augurs well for
the future. Dealers report no difficulty
in effecting sales. One dealer who took
the road for a couple of days ostensibly
for the purpose of getting in touch with
the situation reports that he was given
-orders for several carloads of hardwoods,
The more sanguine ones predict that
there will be a decided shortage in hard-
wood lumber during the year, as dry
stocks are not large and the productiou
of logs last winter was much _ below the
average, perhaps not more than one-half
that of 1900. ~—In a certain section of the
Wiarton district where three million feet
of hardwood logs were taken out one
year ago, not more than one million was
cut the past winter. In quality, however,
the logs are beiter than usual. There is
a good demand for cedar and hemlock,
of which the stock is light. Hemlock
readily brings $9.50 at the mills. White
pine shingles and lath are practically
out of the market and buyers have almost
given up searching for them. Hemlock
shingles are bringing $2.40 and $2.50 at
the mill.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
In order to take advantage of the
exceptionally low freight rates now ruling,
a considerable quantity of deals has been
shipped to England by the regular liners
from St. John to Halifax. Accordingly,
the smal! wintering stocks at these ports
and on the Miramichi will be almost
depleted by the opening of navigation,
and the first open-water shipments are
likely to be lighter than usual. The
market for spruce deals is likely to be
firm through the spring months at least,
and the early breaking up of winter can-
not but have the effect of strengthening
prices. The present indications are that
the stock of logs which will reach the
mills will not be sufficient for the season’s
requirements and will bring about a
reduction in the lumber output. It is
expected that large shipments will this
year be made to South America, France
and Germany. There will be consider-
able activity this season in square and
waney timber, as it is estimated that the
cut during the past winter was consider-
ably greater than usual. There con-
tinues to be a good demand for clap-
boards and shingles for shipment to the
Eastern States.
MANITORA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
Building operations in Winnipeg are
starting off with a boom, and promise to
be more brisk than for some years.
Architects have plans in hand for many
important buildings, including one to be
- built by Lord Strathcona which will cost
about $150,000 and will require nearly
one million feet of lumber. The extent
of the lumber demand, however, will be
to some extent in proportion to the move-
ment of wheat. At the present time im-
mense quantities of wheat have not been
moved and elevators are being built to
accommodate the surplus of last season's
record crop. Prices of lumber and
shingles are unchanged, although an ad-
vance in the price of British Columbia
fir flooring and some lines of British
Columbia cedarlumber is talked of. The
u mbes trade of British Columbia is quite
1
active. Seven vessels are loading lum-
ber at Vancouver for export, shippers
evidently wishing to take advantage of
the present low freights. Large orders
have been placed with Vancouver mills
for piles for shipment to the Phillipine
Islands, but it is feared that the exporta-
tion of piles is prohibited by the recent
legislation. Thereis an active demand
for cedar logs and prices have advanced
$2 per thousand feet. The price of
shingles is also firmer, although no sus-
tained advance is looked for.
UNITED STATES.
The probability of an early opening of
Navigation is regarded favorably by
wholesale dealers in the Eastern States
whose stocks of white pine have become
broken and who feared that they would
not have a sufficient supply for their cus-
tomers. The demand in the east is
Showing considerable activity, even the
lower grades being more inquired for
than for some time. Further ad-
vances have been made in the price of up-
pers, which are now selling inthe Buffalo
market at $70 for 1 to 2 inch and $75 for
25to 4 inch. Inch No 1 cutting-up
stock has been advanced to $40 at Buf-
falo and Tonawanda. Our Bay City hist
this week shows an advance of $2 in 1 to
2 inch uppers and 1 to 14 inch selects,and
$4 in No. 2 inch cutting-up ~ stock.
Twelve-inch barn boards in all grades
are marked up $2. There is a great
scarcity of 12-inch boards. Manufactur-
ersin the Lake Superior district will
endeavor to make a large cut in the
sawing season now approaching, but the
short supply of logs will likely restrict
the production. The spruce situation is
gaining strength. Special frames for
immediate delivery are quoted fifty cents
higher, while randoms are a litte
weaker. Hardwoods are going into con-
sumpticn quite freely. Dry stocks have
become nearly exhausted and the out-
look is encouraging for higher prices for
all kinds of hardwoods. Basswood and
oak are particularly scarce. Birch is in
good demand, but ash ard maple are
moving slower than the other varieties.
The recent advance in the price of hem-
lock lumber has been maintained and
has apparently not affected the consump-
tion, as the demand continues strong.
The manufacturers in Michigan recently
made an advance of $1.50 per thousand.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The desire of importers to reduce their
stocks before the new goods arrive is re-
sponsible for alarge quantity of lumber
being offered at auction during the past
fortnight. Spruce and pine deals com-
prised almost the entire catalogue of a
sale by Foy, Morgan & Company, Lon-
don, on March 12th. Prices on the whole
were well maintained, although odd sizes
did not sell nearly as well as regulars, the
quantity of which 1s quite limited. First
quality Quebec pine 3x11 brought £24
15s for 11 feet and 3xginch £18. Second
quality 3x11 sold at $16. Quebec spruce
was well taken on the basis of £9 5s
for 3x9 inch third quality. The red pine
was in little demand, and it is said that
the prices realized in many cases repre-
sent a loss !othe importers.
There is considerable buying of square
timber. Oak suitable for wagon making
is in demand, particularly in Scotland,

where stocks are low. For prime timber
2s to 2s 4d per cubic foot is readily ob-
tainable. Good ash logs are likewise in
request, the quotation for them being
about 2s per cubic foot.
So far as buying of this year’s produc-
tion is concerned, we are told that little
progress has been made, and that ship-
pers and importers must come nearer to-
gether’in their ideas of prices before
there will be much life to the trade. Ney-
ertheless, Canadian shippers are said to
have met with fair success. It is report-
ed that they have reduced their prices in
some instances and have made sales at
£9. i. f. for 3x9 second quality spruce
and £8 Jos for third quality. A report
from Belfast, Ireland, states that there
has been considerable business done in
Canadian spruce for spring shipment at
advanced prices, although it is believed
that the market will weaken towards mid-
summer. Sales of waney board pine have
been made at very satisfactory figures,

Perfectiors.
The Revelstoke Lumber Company,
Revelstoke, B. C., have secured a stock
of about 3,500,000 feet of logs for this
season’s sawing operations.
James Ludgate, of Seguin Falls, has
taken a contract to drive all the logs for
the William Peter Estate and the Parry
Sound Lumber Company that go down
the Seguin river.
The Saginaw Lumber & Salt Company,
of Sandwich, Ont., put in 200,000 feet
of board pine last winter in the Georgian
“Bay district, which has been sold to
Quebec parties for export.
It is reported that J. & T. Charlton, of
Collingwood, have sold their entire
season’s Cut, the last sale reported being
6,000,000 feet of white pine to Fish,
Bradley & Company, of Bay City, Mich.
The cooperage market does not show
the normal amount of activity for this
season. Stock is offered freely. In the
Minneapolis district some strength is
exhibited and $8.50 is being asked for
No. 1 Michigan staves.
Tonawanda and Buffalo dealers are
reported to have purchased about 1o,-
000,000 feet of white pine from the On-
tario Lumber Company, to be manufac-
tured this season, at the company’s mills
at French River, Ont.
Twenty-seven car loads of square tim-
ber have been shipped this spring by
Mooney & McDougall from Almonte to
Quebec. The timber is pine, oak, ash
and sock elm and is destined for the
Liverpool market.
Destructful floods occurred last week
in several sections at New Brunswick.
By the breaking of a dam at Lepreaux
3,000,000 feet of logs owned by J. A.
Gregory, of St. John, were carried away.
They had been cut and hauled along the
river banks ready for the spring drive. Mr.
Gregory estimates his loss at $15,000,
The following vessels ate loading lum-
ber at Vancouver: “Reuce,” for Sydney,
Australia; “Andromeda,” for Callao :
“Rose, for Geraldtown ; ‘‘Amaranth,” for
Taku ; “Adderley,” for Sydney ; ‘Prince
Louis,” for Cardiff.
Keenan Bros., of Owen Sound, Ont.,
have purchased the mill of the Goderich
Lumber Company at that place, together
with their stock of dry lumber now in the
yard, amounting to about 1,500,000 feet
of hemlock, cedar and pine. They have
also secured about 3,000,000 feet of hem-
lock and hardwood logs for this year's
supply, and expect to have the mill in
operation very shortly.
At a recent auction sale held by Churc-
hill & Sim, London, England, oak tim-
ber sold at a range from 82s 6d per load
for 124 x 18% inch, 14 to 29 feet long, to
105s for 10x 16 in., 31-47 ft. Ash tim-
ber from Quebec sold at the following
prices : 13-21 in., 12 to 14 ft. long, 36s
per load; 12} x 15 in., 14 to 30 ft., 55s ;
12 1/2 x 15 in., 14 to 29 ft., 47s , 11-3/2x
15 1/2, 10 to 17 ft., 458; 12% x 15 1/2,
15 to 30 ft., 478; 1234 x 16, 8 to 21 ft.,
45s. Asmall quantity of elm timber,
1134 x 12 1/2 in., 26 feet long, brought
41s per load of 50 cubic feet.
It is estimated that the cut of logs last
winter on the South-west Miramchi, in
New Brunswick, was a little more than
one-half that of the previous winter, the
shortage being due in a large measure to
the scarcity of men and the high price of
supplies. The cut of the different firms
is given as follows: William Richard &
Company, 11,000,000 feet; T. Lynch,
7,000,000 feet; M. Welsh, 5,000,000
feet; H. Bentley, 3,000,000 feet; E.
Hutchinson, 500,000 feet, a total of 26,-
500 000 feet. The cut on the Resti-
gouche river will be about 20,000,000
feet, as compared with 30,000,000 feet
one year ago.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
Business is dull in local lumber circles
shipments by rail being light. The Ameri-
can inquiry is not as active as it was a
month ago, but better things are ex-
pected with the resumption of Operations
at the mills.
It is now a settled fact that the new mill
talked of for several months will not be
built before the autumn months at the
earliest, and perhaps not till next spring.
Difficulty over the question of transpor-
tation has caused a delay. The mill will
probably be built at Deschenes,
All last year’s mills will be operated
again this season, and the small mill on
the Bronson property at the Chaudiere,
may be fitted up for a season's cutting.
Gillies Bros. will operate four mills, one
Breside, one at Black Point, one at
Sandy Hook, and one at Folger.
A gentleman who has just returned
from the Kippewa and Temiscamingue
districts confirms the report that the
recent thaw has placed several of the
lumber operators in a tight corner as
regards the movement of their logs. All,
however, hope to get most of this season’s
cut out of the woods before the roads
break-up. One feature of the winter's
operations was the amount of square tim~
ber produced. It was equal to that of
oe
—~
March 26, 1902
“any year in the. previous decade. Fully
1,500,000 cubic feet of square timber will
be rafted and floated down the Ottawa
during the coming summer. Thomas
Munro, of Pembroke, has four rafts, and
Robert Hurdman, of Ottawa, three rafts,
the combined cut amounting to about
906,000 cubic feet. The Rideau Lumber
Company got out a couple of smaller rafts
and other operators gave the Square tim-
ber attention. Mr. Munro will be able to
get his logs down early, as they are piled
onthe bank of the main stream of the
Ottawa. The early break-up has made
the transfer of fodder and supplies to the
limits a difficult matter. Most of the
operators wre actively engaged in this
branch of the work when the roads were
broken by the thaw. They will have to
complete their delivery by wagon and
jumper at double the ccst,
A feature in the market is the good pros
pects for spruce. This lumber was looked
on for some time past as a poor seller at
low price. Reports trom New York show
that it is in increased demand and likely
to command better prices. This will
prove gratifying news to mill owners who
are going to cut any considerable quantity
of spruce. The only hardwood that is in
active demand is basswood.
The Rideau Lumber Company will cut
considerable stock at Hagar & Company’s
mill at Plantaganet during the coming
season.
Mr. Robert Hurdman’s output of logs
for the season just closing was between
82,000 and 100,000.
The best sale of the past few days was
that made by Mr. T. A. Low, of Renfrew,
who sold 3,000,000 feet of Barnet Low’s
stock cut at their mill at Little Current to
a North Tonawanda firm.
No change in quotations is reported on
the local market. Lath, shingles anp
deals remain firm in price. 35
Mr. Wm. B, Bartram, late Sargeant of
Strathcona's Horse, and now representing
Davidson & Thackray, of Ottawa,in Cape
Town in the lumber business, has been
elected a member of the Chamber of Com-
merce for South Africa.
The government has changed the posi-
tion of the slides at the Chaudiere Falls
on the Ottawa River in order to improve
the water power and faciliate the Passage
of timber.
Ald. Charles Desmarais, of Hull, con-
tractor for telephone and telegraph poles,
reports the last winter’s cut below the
average. The deep snow and the short
‘season combined to make the work in the
bush difficult. Ald. Desmarais had 80
men at work and secured about 4,000
poles in the Gatineau and Pontiac dis-
tricts. The supply, he States, is far short
of the demand and he has had half a
dozen offers for his entire stock. He looks
for an advance in price.
Mr. Wm. Mackey, the veteran lumber-
man who recently sold _ his limits to Mr. J
R. Booth for $655,000, has presented St.
Patrick’s R. C. church with a new altar
costing $5,000. It was consecrated on
St. Patrick’s Day. A tablet bearing
-mention and appreciation of Mr. Mackey’s
generosity will be placed in positicn in
the church shortly.
The prospects for the season's building
in Ottawa are good. Rumors of strikes
furnish the only dark streak in the pros-
pect. All the mill owners look for an
active local demand. Shingles are
exceedingly scarce and are bound to ad-
vance in price with the resumption of
building operations.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
THE BOSTON MARKET.
The outlook for spruce lumber is very
strong. Freshets have carried supplies of
logs down river, while the season for lum-
bering and getting new logs has been cut
most decidedly short by the very early
departure of the snow. The late drive
last year contained 28,000,000 feet of logs
tor Bangor. About 5,000,000 of these logs
were carried out to sea by a freshet early
in the winter, and now the present freshet
has carried at least 12,000,000 out to sea.
Hence the Bangor supply must be very
small till new logs come down, Mean-
time, the demand begins to improve,
with every indication of a good business,
and leading spruce men feel sure that
under such conditions prices are ex-
tremely likely to go still higher, although
already about the highest on record:
Ten and 12 inch dimensions, $20 ; 9 inch

ber was disposed of at an auction sale
held by Foy, Morgan & Company, Lon-
don, England, on March 12th. The large
quantity offered ‘‘ without reserve’ is said
to have had a depressing effect. on the
bidding, but on the whole prices through-
out were better than anticipated and it is
considered that the demand for both pine
and spruce is improving. This is es-
pecially the case with the New Bruns-
wick spruce. «The result of the sale is
given below:

only people who can supply you promptly and in large quantities with a

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO. ~
Notwithstanding that within a few
weeks there will be a general resumption
of sawing operations in Ontario, the lum-
ber market continues decidedly strong.
As far as can be learned, prices have not
receded in a single instance, and it is even
predicted that current quotations will rule
after the mills are sawing, owing to the
large quantity of thé season’s cut that has
already been placed. It is reported that as
much as 100,000,000 feet of Ontario’ pine
has been contracted for by a large firm of
Michigan dealers. It was known that the
firnt in question had been heavy buyers,
but few supposed that their purchases
weuld reach this large amount. The buy-
ing of dry stock continues to’ the extent
that suitable lumber canbe found, but in
some grades and sizes, such as 12 inch
boards, the market is almost bare. The
best grade of pine lumber has not yet been
advanced in Ontario as much as'in the
Eastern States, where uppers are bringing
from $65 to $75.
Opinion is becoming more general that
hardwood lumber will witness an improve-
ment during the year. Consumers are

vance of: requirements ‘and’ to contract

GREAT BRITAIN.
Recent advices from Great Britain do
it tell of a very flourishing condition of
>lumber trade. The heavy losses sus-
ned last year have had the effect of
iking dealers extremely cautious, and
2re has been little buying beyond the
tual needs of their business. The tight-
3s of money and the quietness in the
ilding trade have also affected the
lume of business. Prices generally
2w no improvement, but Canadian tim-
r seems disposed to break away from
: depression governing the trade at
ge. There has been of latea slight
provement in white pine. Glasgow has
ught Quebec white pine deals at from
enty shillings to thirty shillings per
ndard more than last season’s quota-
ns. There is no difficulty in placing
: regular sizes, but for irregular lots a
luction in price must be made in order
to effect a sale. Spruce deals are steady.
Such dimensions as 3x 11 and 3x gare
exceedingly scarce. Spryce battens have
sold well under the hammer, a parcel of
3 X 7 unassorted, from Saguenay, Quebec,
averaging £7 12s 6d per standard,as com-
pared with £7 2s 6d one week previous.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
The Merrill & Ring Company, of Duluth,
Minn., last week sold 14,000,000 feet of
No. 3 and better pine, the first of this
year’s cut.
The cut of logs in the district of East
Kootenay, B. C., during the past winter
was greater than for many years, aggre-
gating over 200,000 logs.
Lumbermen at River Hebert and Shulee,
N.S., lost a large quantity of logs and
piling through the breaking of dams and
booms by last week’s freshet.
The corporation of Napanee, Ont., is
asking for tenders up to April 21st for
supply of pine sidewalk plank and three
inch stringers, the latter of cedar.
C. Reid's Sons, of Bothwell, Ont., have
purchased the timber ona 550 acre lot
near their mills at Bothwell. They have
three years in which to move the timber.
It is reported that the Turner Lumber
Company, of Midland, Ont., have disposed
of their season's cut of pine to Skilling's,
Whitney & Barnes, of Ogdensburg, N. Y.
W. B. Dickson, who represents W. M.
Mackay, of St. John, in Albert county,
N. B., reports that the cut of logs this
season in that county willaggregate about
40,000,000 feet.
The Munro Lumber Company, of Pem-
broke, Ont., have 100 cribs of timber
ready to take to the water for shipment
to Quebec. The timber is at Seven
League Lake.
The tender of the Rathbun Company has
been accepted for the supply of lumber to
the city of Kingston, Ont., at the following
prices : Two and three inch umber, $18.85
per M feet ; 1 and 1% feet, $18.85 ; cedar
sleepers, 234 cents per lineal foot.
James Rae, of Ahmic Harbor, Ont.,
writes that on account of the early break-
up of winter, some pine and hardwood logs
have been left in the woods. The
hardwood mills in that vicinity are fairly
well stocked with logs and will soon be
running again.
At Buffalo dealers are asking $4.50 for
best grade white pine shingles and $4.25 for
red cedar Perfections, and some dealers
are. even talking about asking higher
prices. In the Saginaw valley white pine
are quoted at $2.60 to $3.90 and cedar at
$2.00 to $2.75.
For the supply of 54,000 lineal feet of
hemlock deals to the city ot St. John,
N.B., tenders were submitted as follows:
J. M. Driscoll, $10.75 per M; George
McKean, $9.50; John E. Moore & Com-
pany, $9.00, the latter being accepted.
F. E. Sayre & Company offered to supply
133 tons of hemlock timber at $4.50 per
ton, and go tons of red pine at $6.00 per
ton. Murray & Gregory will supply
3,000 square yards of spruce blocks at 50
cents per yard.
The following references to the Barba-
does market is found in the report of S. P.
Musson, Son & Co., dated March 15th :
“The only landing to note is the ‘Neva,’
from Bear River, N. S., with 58,000 feet
second quality white pine, which was sold
at $15.60. There are full stocks of both
white pine and spruce, but dealers show
a LL ee ee ee
a willingness to buy at aboutlate rates. We
had the ‘‘Onora” from Liverpool, N. S., on
gth inst., but dispatched her to Demarara
under an offer of $27.00 for 46,000 feet
shipping, $22.00 for 41,000 feet second
quality white pine, and $22.00 for 47,000
feet hemlock. No receipts of any kind of
shingles have taken place, but there 1s
little inquiry.
There is not much start in the cooper-
age trade, says the American Lumber-
man, all slack shops being decidedly
quiet and the demand for tight work not
being large. There is a scarcity of
tierce staves and fewer slack hoops than of
other things in that trade. Flour miffs are
running much slower than is common this
spring, as the export demand for flour is
very light. Slack quotations by jobbers
at Buffalo are as follows : $7.75 to $8 for
first class, $4.24 to $4.50 for second class ;
basswood heading, 51% to 53{ cents for
first class, 3% to 3% cents for second
class; coiled hoops, $8.50 to $8.75 for |
6-foot, $8.00 to $8.50 for 5 1-2 foot, $5 for
hickories. In tight work $29 for tierce
staves, $19 for heading, $12.50 for hoops,
$22 for pork staves, $16 for heading,
$10.50 for hoops.
A report of the hemlock market at
North Tonawanda, N. Y., says: ‘* The
market gives promise of becoming more
remunerative this season than tor some
years ; the demand is strong and prices
are advancing in both Pennsylvania and
Michigan stock. The new price list that
became operative several weeks ago is
stronger than some dealers expected it
would be. While stock is decidedly scarce
with most dealers it is not expected that
the situations will continue embarrassing
in this respect much longer. Mills in the
west and in Pennsylvania have begun to
operate with all the vigor possible and,
stock should be moving more freely in an-
other month at the latest. The base price
of piece stuff is $14.50. A local dealer
who is acquainted with the situation at the
mills in Michigan states that $10 is being
secured for 16 foat boards and undery
while boards 18 feet and from 22 to 24 feet
in length are bringing $11 and $12.50
respectively.”
SPRUCE DEALS IN IRELAND.
A correspondent of the Timber News,
Liverpool, England, thus refers to
the spruce situation and the opinion
of the timber trade in Ireland :
‘‘ Spruce deals continue high in. price—
too high, it is thought, to last. It is true,
or rather alleged, that prices of materia
and labour in Canada have increased ;
even so, the increase in cost of production
does not warrant, ona dull and declining
35s. freight, an £8. 5s. c.i.f. price, or
anything near it, for spruce deals. The
feeling in the timber trade in Ireland is
that prices of Canadian goods will be very
much cheaper later on, when the quanti-
ties of all kinds in view for shipment during
the season will be more readily available
for accurate computation. It is believed
the quantities then ascertainable and ready
for sale and shipment will be much larger
than what can now be only roughly
guessed at, and as a consequence lower
prices are expected to rule. This has
happened before, and we can only read
the future by the past. There is one
thing regrettably uppermost in the minds
of distracted steamer managers and
industrious shipbrokers, and it is that
freights are not going to ‘‘boom’”’ for
April 2, 1902
many months to come, if for years, in view
of the total collapse and smash in the
freight markets of the world. Timber
importers can therefore reasonably calcu-
late upon, for at least 1902, the cheapest
freight market experienced since probably
the dark freight days of 1885 and 1886,
leaving thus only the probable f.o.b. prices
to be considered. A large share of what
is said of the increased cost of production
in Canada may be perfectly true, and, we
may venture to hint, some of it may be—
otherwise.”

TRADE OPENINGS.
The following were among the enquiries
relating to Canadian trade received at the
Canadian Government Office in London
during the week ending 14th March, 1902.
The names of the parties may be obtained
from the publishers of this journal.
A London firm of wholesale and export
cabinet makers ask to be referred to
Canaaian shippers of chair stock, seats,
backs, legs, &c.
A commission agent at Newcastle with
good connection wishes to hear from
Canadian manufacturers desiring repre-
sentation in that quarter.
The agency for a Canadian exporter of
wood pulp is desired by a Brussels firm
who could take up the representation for
Belgium and Holland.

CONDITIONS AT ALBANY.
Owing to the unusually heavy trade the
past winter, pine stocks are rather light
and if business holds out as it has started,
and the indications are that it will, the
market will be pretty well gutted before
new lumber can be received by canal.
The New York Lumber Trade Journal
says that spruce stocks are even in a
worse Condition than pine,
everything saleable in that
cleaned out before navigation closed last
fall. The spruce dealers, however, are
already beginning to receive stock from
their mills by rail, and will soon have on
hand a complete assortment, and are at
present booking orders for anything in
their line. Prices on both pine and spruce
are stiffand high, and there is no pro-
bability of their weakening any before
new stock arrives, even if they do then.

Navigation is due to open any day, as
the ice in the river disappeared some time
ago and very little is reported in the bay.
There will not be many million feet of
lumber to ship by water, but the receipts
the ensuing season are estimated at 125,-
000,000 feet. The greater portion of this
will come from Canada, and charters have
already been made on a basis of $1.50 a
thousand feet. Dealers will want this
lumber as fast as it can be obtained, but
much of it is already in the log. Local
stocks have been somewhat depleted dur-
ing the winter, the volume of business
having kept up remarkably well for this

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
There are no evidences that the white
pine market will weaken when the mills
commence sawing. On the other hand,
the outlook is decidedly promising, as the
volume of trade is expanding and _ inquir-
ies are becoming more numerous. There
has been heavy buying of dry stock as
well as of the coming season’s production.
The strength of the market is clearly in-
dicated by the fact that contracts have
been closed for the new cut at prices about
two dollars per thousand above the cur-
rent quotations for dry stock. The highest
price which has come to our knowledge
is $17.25 for logrun. This is doubtless an
exceptionally high price, and one which
has caused the trade to question whether
buyers are justified in paying such a fig-
ure. It is argued that as many of the mills
will not commence sawing until the first
of June, and two months must elapse be-
fore the stock is in shipping condition,
most of the lumber will actually be mark-
eted in 1903. In the meantime unforeseen
circumstances might have brought about
much lower values. Nevertheless, the
outlook is for higher prices for white pine
in the immediate future, not to speak of
Jater developments. The buyers at the
top prices have in most instances been

The opinion seems to be that there will bea

become convinced of the necessity of pur-

In the there is a steady con-
sumption of Canadian pine and spruce,and
stocks are becoming greatly diminished.
It seems probable that the delay in placing
orders will in itself result in bringing about
meantime
higher prices as soon as stocks reach the
point where they must be replenished. In
regard to spruce, it is said that while
shippers have made a number of contracts
for Ireland and some parts of the British
coasts, very little contracting has been
done by the merchants of Liverpool and
other Lancashire ports. The stock now
on hand is largely of inferior quality.
Broad deals in all grades are in demand.
Flooring boards and unassorted battens
are weaker than they were one month
ago.
First quality pine deals are quoted at
27 105 to £30 5s per standard for broads
and £24 to £25 for 11inch. Second
quality range from £14 for undersized to
4,20 for broads. Quebec spruce deals are
selling at £8 ros to £9 5s for regulars.
Red pine is still heavy, although prices
have risen materially from the lowest
point. Quotations are £8 to £10 5s per
standard.

The spruce lumber outlook at Boston
is even stronger as the season begins to
open. The sudden shutting off of winter
has certainly left a large percentage ot the
cut of logs in the woods till another year.
Then, there is not a particle of snow in

streams are open, they are very low,
while the lakes and other ‘dead water”
are still encased in ice.

Such conditions
are retarding driving, and promise to con-
tinue to do so. Still, the lumber people
are rushing all the men possible forward
to the drives, and they will be armed with
dynamite and every means for breaking
up the ice and starting the logs forward.
But, at the very best, it looks as though
the driving must be slow and very difficult,
hence still further shortening the crop of
logs.

are likely to be advanced right away :

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the Canapa LUMBERMAN.)
Continued firmness in the lumber market
may be safely predicted for the summer
months, although it is claimed in some
quarters that the replenishing of standing
stocks with the coming season's mill cut
will have a tendency to lower prices. Mr.
Hiram Robinson,of the Hawkesbury Lum-
ber Company, states that prices are bound
to remain firm, with good prospects of an

The

Hawkesbury Lumber Company's
are now running full
capacity, employing 700 men. The water
power is naturally greater in the earlier
months of the year, and full advantage of
the fact is taken. The company will run
two mills night and day and two in the day
time alone. The McLaren mills at
Buckingham are also in operation nearly
a month earlier than last year.
Daily large gangs of men are being for-
warded from Ottawa for the drives, and
daily large numbers are returning from
the shanties; the latter are all treated to
a specially prepared bath on arrival at the
depot, to prevent any possibility of a
spread of smajlpox in the Capital through
their presence. Men for the drives are
receiving $40 a month as against $45 a
year ago. J. & P. Burke,hiring agents, this
week sent 75 forward for the South River
Lumber Company, 100 for the Morgan
Company at Chelmsford, 75 for the
Michigan Land and Lumber Company,
Nairn Center, and 50 for the McLeod
McCormick Company at Spanish River.
In the presence of a distinguished
gathering and about 300 employees of the
Company, Mr. W. C. Edwards, M. P., on

greeted with applause the announcement
that there is a prospect of their sharing in
the profits of the firm. Mr. Edwards also
announced his intention of establishing a
similar club at his Rockland mills. The
Ottawa Club is housed in cozy apartments
near the mill. During their spare time
the men will be able to enjoy themselves
with games, books and papers interesting
and instructive.
A settlement out of court has been
effected in the celebrated case of Dezou-
che vs. Fraser, by which defendant agrees
to pay $100,000. The legal battle was
fought on one issue,the legality of the sale
of certain valuable limits operated by the
firm of Fraser & McCosbam. In 1885,
after the death of the latter, the limits
were sold in order to close up the partner-
ship affairs. At public auction they real-
ized $165,000. A few years after Mr. J.
R. Booth purchased the limits, on which
considerable quantities of valuable timber
have since been secured. McCoshan was
plaintiff's first husband. She alleged that
in the sale in 1885 the interests of the
McCosham children, the minor heirs, had
suffered. She asked through the court
that Mr. Fraser be ordered to account for
the value of the timber taken off since the
Sale in 1885, as well as the price then pro-
cured. Judge Lavergne ruled that under
the Quebec law governing the rights of
minors, the sale of the Black River limit
in that province was illegal. He, however,
ruled that the sale of the*Ontario limits on
the Opeongo and Schyar rivers was legal.
From this judgment both p'aintiff and de-
fendant appealed, but the appeals have
not yet becn argued. It is understood the
$100,000 or thereabouts to be paid over
by Mr. Fraser includes $50,000 held by
him in trust as the share of the McCosh-
ams, in profits of business tsansactions
carried on under the firm’s name after the
death of McCosham. Although the re-
port on the value of the limits and timber
remov: d has never been made, it is eé ti-
mated that the share claimed by plaintift
for herself and children was about halfa
million dollars.

manufacturing and shipping shingles in large quantities, or that we ‘‘ know
it all.” We recognize that ‘‘there are others’ and that we are not the
only ‘‘pebble on the beach.” To try and make you believe that we are the
only people who can supply you promptly and in large quantities with a
high-grade shingle would not only be a fish and a bear story combined,
but it would be gall of the bitterest kind.
Our competitors ir the shingle business in B. C. are nice people, and we
presume that they kn »w their business ; but we are nice people too, and as
we have been in the trade as long as any of them, and a great deal
longer than the most of them, we know that we know our business, and
that our competitors are not in the possession of any points of value regard-
ing the manufacture of shingles which has not come to our Knowledge.
Our old mill was burned down in May last, and in its place we have built
what is at the present time the Largest Shingle Mill in B. C.
Our new Millhas 7 of the latest improved type of Dunbar machine,
which we run night and day—giving us a capacity of about 100 Million
a year.
Competent judges who have seen our new mill, tell us that it is one of
the most substantial, carefully construeted, and best planned mills in
this province. We ourselves think it is the very best shingle mill in
B. C. ; and we know that it is equipped with all the very latest improved
Shingle Machinery.
Will the trade please note thai our contract with the Pacific Coast
Lumber Co. closed on December 31, 1901. Orders sent to us by letter or
telegraph shall have our best attention.
We want our share of your shingle business, and can guarantee
you satisfaction in every particular.

ewite heavily last fall have in many cases
trade.
Dealers who purchased
almost completely sold out their stock,
and generally at a good profit, as prices
of white pine are higher than they were
at the close of the sawing season last
year. Wherever possible wholesale
dealers are increasing their holdings of
dry lumber, which they are able to pur-
chase on more favorable terms than can
be made for the new cut. Indeed, many
persons identified with the lumber trade
are asking the question whether prices of
new stock are not getting a little too high
for healthful business. They point out
that the buying this spring has in some
instances been of the ‘‘boom” nature,
where a disposition is shown to obtain
something no maiter at
These persons evidently have in mind the
contracting that has been done by certain
American buyers, who have agreed to
purchase mill cuts, log-run, at high prices
without first having inspected the log _
This is, to say the least, a speculative
venture, inasmuch as the quality of log
run lumber may vary very widely. In
some directions precaution in buying is
being advised. On the other hand manu-
facturers seem confident that there will be

affected by the labor troubles. Architects

may be postponed in case of a strike, but
which will be immediately carried to
completion this season should the labor
difficulties be settled at an early date.
Hemlock lumber is scarce and strong.
Higher prices are being asked for hard-
woods. These would seem to be war-
ranted by conditions, as owing to the light
crop of logs last winter it would not be
surprising if a scarcity of hardwoods
should develop before next fall.
QUEBEC ANI) NEW BRUNSWICK.
A number of transactions in waney pine
timber bave taken place within the past
week, the prices indicating an exception-
ally strong market. As compared with
last fall, prices at Quebec are fully five
cents per cubic foot higher. It is under-
stood that a large quantity of waney pine

output, and therefore very gratifying to
the trade. Other kinds of timber are
quiet, with no particular improvement in
prices. There has been a little more
activity in spruce deals, the ontlook for
which is. somewhat brighter. There is
much uncertainty as to the log supply, and
itis feared that St. John mills will o
necessity remain idle for a portion of the
season. Every effort is being put forth to
get logs to the mills, but water is low on
most of the streams.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
Manitoba dealers have been notified of
an advance in prices of British Columbia
lumber on several lines. No. 2 edge
grain stepping has been advanced $1 to
$36. Flat grain stepping is also $1 higher
at $31. No. 2 clear fir, 1, 1%, 1% and 2
inch, up to 12 inches wide, has been ad-
vanced $1.50 to $30, and 14 to 20 inches
to $35, which is an advance of $1.50. No.
3 fir flooring, 4 or 6 inch, is up $1 to $24.
No. 3 ceiling, 1x4 or 6ins., isup $1 to $24.
No. 3 siding is also $1 higher at $24. No.
1 clear red cedar, 1 inch, 8 to 12 inches
wide, is advanced to $38 ; 14 to 18 inches
to $39; 20 to 24 inches to $59. Clear
squares have also been advanced as

are very active. During the month of
March 738 perinits were granted by the
city of Philadelphia, representing a valu-
alion of $6,000,000. In many other cities
the vo ume of building is correspondingly
large. Chicago reports a heavy move-
ment of lumber, with some irregularity in
prices of common inch boards and strips.
The base price of piece stuft is $17.50 for
short lengths and a dollar or two added
for anything over 18 feet. Norway pine

It is estimated by lumbermen that it will
cost $25,000 to save and raft the logs
which went past Fredericton, N. B., in
the recent freshet. It is said that about
60,000 pieces are already boomed at the
mills, and about 40,000 more are safely in

T. D. Robinson, of Winnipeg, has se-
cured the contract from George A. Mit-
chell to supply over half a million feet of
lumber for the Strathcona apartment
‘building to be built in that city. The fir
joists will be brought from British Colum-
bia, the hardwood flooring from Ontario,
and the balance from the Lake of the
Woods district.
Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Company,
in their last report of the Barbadoes mar-
“There have been no arrivals
of either white pine or spruce, and al-
though the market is amply stocked with
the former, and fairly so with the latter,
there is rather a better feeling, and next
ket, say:
arrivals should readily bring late prices
and probably a shade better. No receipts
of shingles have taken place, but there is
no inguiry.”’
The Timber News says that St. John
and Miramichi, N.B., spruce deals are be-
ing held at £5 15s to £6 per St. Peters-
bnrg standard f.0.b., which is not consid-
ered an inducing or safe price at which
to operate extensively. This journal fur-
ther says:—“‘A few sales have also been
concluded in Bosnian whitewood of late,
the shippers accepting £8 155. c.i.f. Lon-
don for 3x11 unsorted, and £8 5s fora few
3 by 9, the 11 in. being the principal line
in the contract. These are slightly lower
prices than those demanded by the Cana-
dian shippers for spruce. Whether the
quality and manufacture of the European
whitewood is fully equal to that of the
spruce shipped from the Gulf of St. Law-
rence we leave to experts to decide, but
it is evident that in ce tain quarters the
Canadian wood is being displaced, the
difference in price being the sole reason
for the change.”
During the mouth of Merch the imports
to London from Canad, according to
Churchill & Sim, were as follows : Pine
deals, 16,000 pieces ; spruce deals,
12,000 pieces; birch planks, 10,000
pieces. In 1901 there were no imports of
pine deals, but 22,000 pieces of spruce
deals and 28,000 pieces of birch planks.
These brokers say : “ There has been
little change in the pine deal market in
London during March. Considerable
sales of the new shipment from Newfound-
land have been effected at rates which
must be relatively satisfactory and the
market steady
and well protected by the high prices
being realized for further supplies. The
demand here, however, is hardly as good
as it was last month,
general remains quiet,
In spruce deals
there is no change to report here, prices
are kept firm by the undeniable scare ty
of further supplies for arrival, but the
stock is a large one. The demand shows
no elasticity and buyers continue to dis-
believe in the threatened famine. Any
large demand in the next three months
would nevertheless not be easy to cope
with. There is no change to report here
in white pine timber or in oak. Birch,
elm and ash have been but little enquired
for.
THE BRITISH MARK 3T.
Messrs, Edmiston and. Mitchells; in their
report of the Glasgow market, make the
following comments on Canadian stock :
WuiTE PINE.—There have been a few
enquiries for waney boardwood during the
month, but we hear of no sales to report.
There has been rather more doing in
Square wood, several sales having resulted
at prices ranging from 2s. 6d. to 2s. gd.
for first quality and 2s. 3d. to 2s. 6d. for
2nd quality, according to size.
RED PINE.—There has been the usual
small demand, and the stock is now onl
about 250 loads. The price is firm at 1s.
od. for 800 feet wood.
Oak.—The demand has been quiet,
though a few retail sales have been made
at 3s. 6d. per cubic foot for long woed,
and 2s. rod. to 3s. for small wood of 12
inches to 14 inches on side. The stock is
low, there being only about 700 loads on
hand. ~
ELM.—There has been little enquiry
during the month. Prices of tst-class
rock are firm on the basis of 3s. 1d. for
900 cubic feet per page. Soft wood and
small squared wood are difficult to move
except at low prices. The stock is heavy:
QvEBEC BircH.—The stock on hand is
now reduced to a small compass, and
prices.are, if anything, rather firmer than
they were, a small parcel of 15 inch logs
having been disposed of this month at
18/d. per foot ‘‘ex store.” Prospects for
the coming Season seem fair, assuming
that the import is not overdone.
N. B. BircH.—The stock is chiefly
composed of Pictou wood, which is moving
off slowly at about 15d. to 16d. per cubic
foot for 15-inch average.
AsH,—The stock on hand though small
is difficult to move off on accoun Pot the =
poor quality generally. Buyers here have
not responded to the advance in price
asked by Quebec shippers, and only really
good logs of fair size would sell at
anything over 2s. per foot. Ash Jumber
has come more into favour of late, and the
import from the States is increasing.
DEALs, &.—Business during the month
has been extremely quiet; the deliveries
from public yards are, however, over the
average, showing that consumption is
good. Stocks of all kinds of pine goods
are very low and record prices are being
got for small parcels of broad 1st pine
sidings and deals arriving per liners.
Prices of spruce are firm Current values
are as under :—Broad first pine deals, £26
to £30; 11-inch, £23 10 £25; ends <a
non-dimensions, £18 to £22, Sccond pine
deals, 11-inch and up, £18 10s, to £21;

pine deals, 11-inch and up, £11 10s, to
£13; ends and non-dimensions, £8 10s. to
£10. Fourth pine deals, 11-inch and up,
£9 10s. to £10 ; narrows, £7 10s. to £3 5s.
Red pine deals, 9 and 11 inch, £10 to £12;
nirrows, £8 to £8 15s. First pine sidings
and strips, 9 and 10-inch average, £16 to
£18; 10 to 12-inch average, £20 to £22
fos. ; 13 and 14-inch average, £23 to £25.
Spruce deals, g-inch and up, £8 10s. to £9
los. ; 7 and 8-inch, £7 5s. to £8. Lower
port pine and spruce, g-inch and up, £8
tos. to £9 ; 7 and 8-inch, £7 10 £7 15s.
Messrs. Alfred Dobell & Co. review the
Liverpool market as follows:
Waney Board and Square Pine are in
fair request. Prices are very firm.
Oak—The stock of first class wood is
exceptionally light and {full prices are
being obtained. ink
Birch Logs—The consumption has been
small, but values are firm. Planks have
ae
again arrived freely, and although a <<
» gonsiderable - quantity has gone’ inte #2 s
consumption the stock is still excessive
and the prices easier. eed
Pine Deals and Boards—There has been
an improved demand, but the stock
remains heavy, although firmly held.
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia Spruce
Deals—The arrivals have been large, but
the covsumption has been on a
corresponding scale; 11 and -g-inch deals
are exceptionally light in stock and

THE BOSTON MARKET.
The spruce lumber market at Boston
is exceeding firm, with a threatened rise
of $2 per thousand. Indeed, some of the
Maine mills are returning orders on sched-
ules, at present quotations, saying their
price is $20 or nothing. Notwithstanding
the firmness of the situation the demand is
not what it should be at the commence-
ment’ot the building season, and some of
the best posted merchants in the trade
doubt the expediency of further advancing
prices when there is danger of cutting off
-the demand. Building—especially hcuse
building—is largely optional, and the price
of spruce advanced too far, it is vastly
easy for the builder to put off building
“this year.” Quotations are not yet
changed, though one or two prominent
factors in the trade are asking $2 per
thousand higher: Ten and 12 inch dimen-
sions, $20; 9-inch and under, $18; 10 and
12 inch random lengths, to feet and up,
$19.50; 2x3, 2x4, 2x5, 2x6, 2x7 and 3x4, 10
feet and up, $16.50 ; all other randoms, 9-
inch and under, 10 feet and up, $17.50; 5-
inch and up, merchantable boards, $16;
matched boards, $18 to $19; out spruce
boards, $13 ; bundle furring, $16 to $17.
Hemlock is very scarce, with mills of-
fering but little, and logs scarce:
12, 14 and 16 feet stock, $15 to $15.50
for good eastern; Vermont, $14 to $14.50;
random, eastern, $14 to $14.50; Pennsyl-
vania, No. 1, $16 to $17.50; No. 2, $15 to
$15.50.

New Mill Erected 1901. Capacity 100 Million a Year.
Spicer Shingle Mill Co., Limited
is not the purpose of this advertisement to try and convince the Lum-
ber Trade of Canada that we are the only company in British Columbia
manufacturing and shipping shingles in large quantities, or that we ‘know
it all.”" We recognize that “there are others” and that we are not the
only *‘pebble on the beach.” To try and make you believe thet we are the
only people who can supply you promptly and in large quantities with a
high-grade shingle would not only be a fish and a bear story combined,
but it would be gall of the bitterest kind.
Our competitors ir the shingle business in B. C. are nice people, and we
presume that they knw their business ; but we are nice people too, and as
we have been in the trade as long as any of them, and a great deal
longer than the most of them, we know that we know our business, and
that our competitors are not in the possession of any points of value regard-
ing the manufacture of shingles which has not come to our Knowle ige.
Our old mill was burned down in May last, and in its place we have built
what is at the present time the Largest Shingle Mill in B. C.
Our new Mill has 7 of the latest improved type of Dunbar machine,
which we run night and day—giving us a capacity of about 100 Million
a year. :
Competent judges who have seen our new mill, tell us that it is one ot
the most substantial, carefully eonstrueted, and best planned mills in
this province. We ourselves think it is the very best shingle mill in
B. C. ; and we know that it is equipped with all the very latest improved
Shingle Machinery.
Will the trade please note thai our contract with the Pacific Coast
Lumber Co. closed on December 31, 1901. Orders sent to us by letter or
telegraph shall have our best attention.
We want our share ot your shingle business, and can guarantee
you satisfaction in every particular.
Spicer Shingle Mill Co., Limited,
VANCOUVER, B. C.
Another Lie Mill
There will be over a million feet of sawa lumber used in this one plant for
construction only ; over 30,000 lin. feet of piling, besides rock foundations ;
two car-loads of shingie machines only ; over 7 miles steam pipe 1 1-2 inch
and up in diameter. A summary of all the material that will be used in the
construction of this plant shows that tuere will be over 320 car-louds, or 21
trains of 15 car-loads each. ,
With all our pst experience in the shingle business, of which we make a
Specia.ty, and with all the latest and best improvements in machinery and
mill construction, we expect it to be the most complete and up-to-date mill in
North America, wheré shingles can be made better than in the ordinary mill.
The above plant will be in Operation about the first of June, and although
this mil will have a daily (24 hours) capacity of 1,250,000 shingles, the
dealers and consu ners need not be afraid of any particular surplus, but can
rest assured that there wili be one firm on the coast manufacturing red cedar
old reliable ‘‘Hastings Brand" so much talked about.
CUSTOMERS’ ATTENTION.—Please take notice that-on and after the
ist day of January, 1902, all arrangements with the Pacific Coast Lumber Go...
of New Westminster, B. C., for the handling of any of our shing'es will be
ended, and until further notice our authorized general agents will be Mr. Jas.
Twitchell, Clinton, Ont., for Ontario, and Mr. Samuel Ashfield of Winnipeg,
Man , for Manitoba and the North-West ; therefore, orders for straight or
mixed cars sent’ through the above agents or direct to us will have equally
prompt and careful attention.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The lumber market may be designated
both active and strong. Vessels are
loading at Georgian Bay yards for the
Eastern States and Michigan distributing
points, and shipping by barge from
Ottawa will commence next week. The
lumber to be moved was in most cases pur-
chased some time ago and is composed of
last year‘s cut. Some mills have com-
menced sawing operations, while others
are wailing for logs. A shortage in the
log supply is feared, as there has been
little rain and the streams are generally
low. In view of the large portion of the
cut of this season that ‘bas already been
contracted for, any considerable decrease.
in the available supply of logs will be a
serious matter and will likely result ina
famine in white pine lumber. The buying
by United States concerns has apparently
not yet been satisfied, as one or two large
transactions have taken place within the
past week. Canadian dealers, on the
other hand, are pursuing a more cautious
policy, and are closing contracts only
when prices offer an inducement. Com-
paring the prices with those of one year
ago, it will be found that there has really
been no advance in mill culls, box and
common lumber,but that the upper grades
are somewhat higher. For 1x1ro and 12
mill culls $12 at the mill is asked. Hem-
lock lumber and timber continues in- heavy
demand, on the basis of $9.50 at the mill.
An increase is reported in the number of -
inquiries for hardwood lumber. Dealers
who have been holding stocks of elm for a
considerable time now find that they can
market the m to advantage, which clearly
indicates the upward trend of prices.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Reports from the Eastern Provinces
seem to indicate that manufacturers have
every confidence in the future of spruce
prices. They state that stocks are much
below an average and that there are many
inquiries for spruce regulars 3x9 and up.
Sales have been made in Quebec at $13.
In New Brunswick the uncertainty of the
log supply is the most influential market
factor. Shippers have-in some instances
refused to enter into contracts at current
prices, fearing that they may be unable to
secure the necessary stock. The outlook ~
in Nova Scotia is towards higher prices.
One report states that no stock is held
over from last year, and that the cut of the
present season will not be more than 65
per cent. that of last year. Spruce and
pine shipping boards and South American
specifications are moving actively. Still
higher prices are ruling for cedar shingles.
Sales are reported of extras at $3.50 and
clears at $3.00, for Boston delivery. The
mills are now resuming Operations, and it
is not expected that these prices will be
maintained throughout the season, al-
though a steady market at firm prices
seems assured, as the demand for the
cedar shingle is steadily increasing.
That there is great danger of a short-
age in the log supply is shown by the fact
that $11 per thousand feet was paid last
week for a quantity of logs.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
There is an unusually large demand
throughout Manitoba and the Territories
for building lumber, and it is probable that
the mills will be taxed to their full capacity
to supply the requirements of the trade.
Retail dealers are stocking up heavily in
anticipation of a brisk season. Prices of
lumber are firm, and some lines are likely
to advance in the near future. Large
orders have recently been placed with
British Columbia manufacturers for both
lumber and shingles, chiefly for shipment
to the east. The export trade, however,
has not been neglected, as sixteen vessels
sailed for foreign ports with lumber during
the first three months of this year, six of
them deing destined for Australia, five for
China and Japan, and two for the United
Kingdom. Lumber freight rates are low
and declining.
UNITED STATES.
Another advance in lumber prices must
be chronicled this week. At Albany good
lumber has stiffened considerably. Uppers,
selects, fine common and No. 1 cuts are
marked up an average of $2 per thousand;
12-inch dressing has advanced $3; 12-
inch No, 1 and No. 2 barn $1, and shaky
clear $2, The short stocks of pine are
restricting shipments, and there does not
seem to be much prospect of early relief
in that respect owing to ascarcity of logs.
The box manufacturers are showing
much concern regarding the supply of
white pine, and scarcely know what prices
to quote on time contracts. At eastern
wholesale centres white. pine is particular-
ly scarce.. Factory lumber and the upper
grades are most enquired for, and it is
said that sales of thick uppers have been
made at $80. Yet this price, it is claimed,
does not leave a fair. margin for the
dealer in consideration of the prices that
are now being asked at the mills in the
Lake Superior district. The freight rate
Il.
is being made to
In the
is $2.50, but an effort
secure a reduction on this figure.
Saginaw valley box lumber is worth from
$14 to $16, and last week 1,000,000 feet
of mill culls were sold at $13. A very
active demand for hemlock is reported.
At Buffalo the base price is $14.50, and
at New York $16. At Alpena, Mich.,
sales are being made at $10 for 10 to 16-
foot piece stuff, $11 for 18-foot, $12 for
20-foot and over, and $11 for boards. De-
livered in Chicago by water, the price of
hemlock is $11.
All hardwoods are sharing in the im-
proved conditions. Ash, birch and bass-
wood are leading, with elm and maple
closely following. There has been an
advance of $1 in the price of maple, be-
lieved to be due to the influence of the
Michigan Association. Furniture factories
are purchasing quite liberally.
It is almost impossible to give a quota-
tion on lath, as there is practically none in
first hands. Dry shingles are also ex-
hausted, and manufacturers are selling
green stocks as fast as they can be manu-
factured. Cedar shingles appear to be
taking the lead, owing to the fact that for
some time it has been impossible to pur-
chase a supply of white pine.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The trade and navigation returns for
the first quarter of this year contain
statistics, as usual, bearing upon the im-
port of timber into Great Britain. For the
three months the quantity of hewn timber
imported was 464,499 loads, as compared
with 503,578 loads in the corresponding
period last year. Of sawn lumber the
import was 408,457 loads, against
415,862 loads in 1901. From Canada the
import of hewn timber was 2,524 laads, as
compared with 4,319 loads last year, and
of sawn timber 72,956 loads, whereas in
1g0I it was only 59,323 loads. Notwith-
standing the depression in the British
timber trade, it will be noticed that the
total import for the quarter is only 46,000
loads less than for the same period last
year. The outlook, if we can judge from
reports, is gradually improving. There
is a steady demand for the best grades of
deals, but narrow dimensions are in large
stock and less firm than the regular sizes.
Up to the present time buyers have been
content to purchase from the stock on
hand, but it is thought that from now on
there will be more liberal buying of stock
to arrive. Seemingly, an opinion has
prevailed that there is no possibility of a
shortage in the supply of Canadian pine
and spruce, but as the weeks go by this
opinion is being dispelled, and importers
are showing a greater disposition to con-
tract. It is regarded as extremely likely
that there will be an advance in the prices
of 9 and 11 inch spruce and the standard
sizes of pine. Two lots of 3x9 spruce
which recently arrived at Liverpool have
‘been stored by the shipper, on the belief
that later he will be able to sell the stock
to much better advantage. Waney and
Square pine are in strong request at firm
prices. The stock of first-class oak is
light, and an expansion in the demand
would result in higher prices.
Barnhill Bros. cut 1,250,000 feet the
past winter at Clarendon, N. B., with a
portable mill.
The McGoldrick Lumber Company of
Minneapolis, last week sold 9,000,000 feet
of pine to the John Spry Lumber Com-
pany, of Chicago. It was mostly common
good white pine, and the price is said to
be $16 per thousand.

The early break-up of winter has en-
abied Samuel Bingham, of Ottawa, to get
his logs down the Gatineau river much
earier than usual. At this date there are
over 100,000 logs near the mouth of the
Gatineau.
R. R. Dobell & Company, of Liverpool,
England, have again secured the contract

SPRUCE AND PINE WANTED.
Canadian manufacturers looking for
export business should be interested in the
advertisement in the Wanted and For
Sale Department of a British firm which
desires to arrange for importations of
pine and spruce. The firm in question
are, we believe, thoroughly reliable.
Persons wishing an interview with their
representative, who is now on this Con-
tinent, sheuld drop a card to Box 42,

THE BOSTON MARKET.
The spruce quotations at Boston, while
very firm all round, scarcely fairly repre-
sent the market. Many operators were
obliged to leave logs in the woods, and
this, followed by the threatened serious
trouble in getting the logs down, has put
the mills in a position where they are in-
clined to hold quotations $1 to $2 higher.
The real position hinges on the mills ob-
taining logs. Quotatious are not yet
changed generally, though some of the
leading houses are declining orders ex-
cept at stronger prices: Ten and 12 inch
dimensions, $20; g-inch and under, $18;
10-and 12 inch random lengths, 10 feet and
up, $19.50; 2x3, 2x4, 2x5, 2x6, 2x7 and
3x4, 10 feet and up, $16.50 ; all other ran-
doms, 9 inch and under, 10 feet and up,
$17.50; §5-inch and up, merchantable
boards, $16; matched boards, $18 to $19;
out spruce boards, $13; bundle furring,
$16 to $17.
Hemlock is in very small offering and
very firm: Boards, 12, 14 and 16 feet
stock, $15 to $1550 for good eastern;
Pennsylvania, No. 1, $16 to $17.50; No.
2, $15 to $15.50.
White pine is very strong at quotations :
Here, uppers, 1-in, $75 to $80; 24 and 3
in, $80 to $85; 4-in. $85 to $88; selects,
1 to 1% in. $685; 2-in. $69 to $70; 2%
to 3 in. $74 to $76; 4-in. $79 to $80; fine
common, t-in. $56 to $58; 14% to 1% in.
$62 to $66; 2-in. $68 to $70; 2% and 3 in.
$69 to $71 ; 4-in. $80; barn boards, $23
to $33; coffin boards, $27 to $32.
Hardwood lumber is very firm, with a
good demand at quotations: Quartered
oak, $62 to $65; plain oak, $41 to $45;
common and rejects, $38 to $42; white-
wood, $42 to 43; sap and common, $30 to
$35; brown ash, $41 to $44; white ash,
$43 to $46; maple, $28 to $30; end-dried
white maple, $38 to $42; birch, $27 to $30;
birch, 75 per cent. red, $45 to $50; elm,
$29 to $31.
Shingles continue very firm, with spot
prices 15c above quotations on extras and
clears, with a very light demand for sec-
ond clears: To arrive, extra cedar, $3.35;
clear, $2.85; second clear, $2.35; extra
No. 1, $1.75 to $1.90; Washington and
British Columbia red cedar, 16-inch, five
butts to 2 inches, $3.75 to $3.80; 18-inch,
$4.25 to $4.50.
Clapboards continue very scarce and
firm: Extra spruce, $38 to $40; clear, $36
to $38; second clear, $33 to $35; extra
No 1, $24 to $26.
Laths continue firm at $3.15 to $3.20
for 136 inch; 134 inch, $3.

THE LUMBER OUTPUT.
Secretary George K, Smith, of the
Southern Lumbermen’s Association, in his
annual report before that body, gave out
statistical information which will be of in-
terest to manufacturers of Jumber through-
out the United States and Canada. An
average of 160 mills for the twelve months
of the year, embracing 1,759 firms, cut
1,992,602,851 feet, while shipments for the
same time were 2,090,120,270 feet. This
is an increase of 200,000,000 feet in the
output as compared with the previous year,
ori per cent., while shipments were in
excess of those of 1goo by 344,000,000
feet, or 20 per cent., thus reducing stocks
held 100,000,000 feet, or about 10 per cent.
These figures apply to the yellow pine
Jumber situation. With regard to white
pine there was a reduction, through excess
of shipments over cut, of 200,000,000
fect, or 13 per cent. in the visible supply
up to December ist, and an increase in
Output of 119,000,000 feet, or 5 per cent,

THE on OF SPRUCE IN GREAT
BRITAIN.
The following reports from the cbief
spruce centres ot the United Kingdom will
give our readers an idea of the views he'd
regarding the spruce market. The reports
are reproduced from the Timber Trades
Journal:
LONDON.
As regards London, where spruce occu~
pies a very important place in the con-
sumption, the present position of the mar-
ket as regards stock is rather unfavorable
to prices on this side. The various mills
are well stocked, and at the docks there
more deals and battens
are considerably
the excess
now than were held last year,
being abcut 100,c00 pieces.
At the end of March, 1go1, the dock
stock was put down as representing about
two and a half months’ consumption; this
year, by the same authority, the supply
is estinated at more than equal to three
and a half months. Without relying too
much on these calculations, there can be
no doubt that whatever the position of the
spruce market in London was a year ago,
the altered conditions of the stocks now
ean have no favorable influence attached
tothem. To maintain a healthy level of
prices the increase in quantities should be
accompanied by a corresponding increase
in the consumption, but that such has been
the case we are not prepared tosay. Of
course there are many factors operating
lo sway prices in this market, of which the
influences, as yet, are only partially felt,
such as the state of the stocks in Canada
and the competition with other descri, tions
of whitewood; but, as far as our informa-
ation goes, whatever proportions the ex-
pected curtailment of _ first-open-water
stocks at Quebec and the Lower Poris, th-
cluding St. John, miy assume, we do nat
think the supply to London will be suffici-
ently diminished to buoy up prices. White
deals, etc., from the Danube are now being
offered at lower prices than the Quebec
shippers are willing to accept, and though
the wood may not be quite equal to best
spruce, when it becomes a question of cost
the cheaper article is generally preferred.
But, as far as we can learn, the white wood
from Galatz, which is now being quoted at
£8 5s. c.i.f. to London for 3x9, ard tos.
more for 11 in., is viewed favorably by
contractors and others, and might take the
place of spruce while the present difference
in price exists. The stock here is, how-
ever, unimportant, but it is fair to assume
that plenty of it would be forthcoming if
the spruce supplies fell off.
Retr! 2 eae) LIVERPOOL.
FR At this time of year the West Coast of
England, Scotland, and all Ireland are
awaiting with some perturbation as to the
course of the spruce market for the com-
ing import season. As an American
humorist says, ‘‘It is not wis® to prophecy
unless you know.” And how this season's
PINE
LUMBER
Get our Prices
business is going to work out is something
more than anyone can say at present. We
give some intelligence received by cable
on March j3oth, which states: ‘‘Great
damages. having lost 1,000 stand-
ards of logs; other manufacturers have
also suffered; to what extent is not yet
known."” And again, a day later, a cable
comes: Withdraw all offers, and sell no-
thing at present.'’ This, on the face of it,
shows an alarming state of things. There
may yet be further developments, but we
prefer to wail events. The position on the
shipping side may be all that is alleged;
yet we have never forgotten how the late
Mr. Dan Mackay, afier having sold two
or three cargoes by auction, would sud-
denly produce another catalogue, and
blandly say: ‘‘They seem to drop from the
clouds,”
All this seems to show a hard market
for the future. To this extent shipbrokers
who have chartering for vessels from the
spruce ports say to-day they cannot char-
ter any sailer for future loading, for the
simple reason charterers have no deals to
load their vessels with when they get to a
port of load ng. As we have said before,
importers are playing a waiting game.
With a stock of 12,920 standards in Liver-
pool, and about 7/10,000 standards in
Manchester, they are not likely to engage
in future contracts to any large degree.
Preston and Fleetwood carry no stock
worth mentioning. But we do not antici-
pate any imports of spruce deals of the
new cutting before August, and until then
this market will have to depend upon
Lower Port shipments.
MANCHESTER.
The position of spruce deals in the Man-
chester market is most difficult to under-
stand. They touched £7 15s. c,i.f. Tast

year, and it was the opinion of experts
they would advance at least another £1
per standard. The expectation was not
realized, and since then they have gradu-
ally drifted to £7 5s., at which they are
firm to-day on a 35s. to qos. freight basis,
leaving the shipper a handsome f. o. b.
price, but to any importer sanguine en-
ough to buy, a certain loss on the current
Manchester and Liverpool prices.
BRISTOL,
Stocks of spruce are rather broken, and
while there is plenty of 7 and 8 inch avail-
able, supplies of 11 and 9g inch are very
short, the latter width especially so. Ship-
pers are still holding out for high prices,
and profess to have only limited stocks,
but at the figures asked we believe we are
correct in saying that nothing has been
bought at this port. With freights from
St. John as low as 35s., the prices now
asked would leave an excellent f.o.b. re-
turn to the shipper, who may be relied up-
on to strain every nerve to increase pro-
duction, At the present time spruce is too
far above its average value to indulge in
heavy commitments, and if business is to
result shippers should moderate their
views.
CARDIFF.
The stock of spruce here is at present
very low, and we believe this is also the
case in the other South Wales ports. It is
not likely that there will be any importa-
RES ee
1 Ri
tion in quantity before June, and by that
time what stock there is will be pretty well
exhausted, though the demand is small.
We do not hear of any considerable pur-
chases being yet made, asimporters do not
see their way to buy at the high figures
quoted by shippers, who, on the other hand,
contend that the produce is light this
season, and are, therefore, indisposed to
give way. We may, on the whole, con-
clude that as time goes on prices will gradu-
ally harden, though not to an extreme ex-
tent, but we shall not see repeated the ill-
judged importation of a few years since,
which resulted in such heavy losses.
GLASGOW.
A very fair amount of business has been
done herein contracting for supplies of
spruce during the coming season, not far
behind the quantity fixed a year ago, and
further contracts are in course of being
effected. Stock at March 31st is about
6,600 standards, slightly over the amount
held at same date last year. Of the pre-
sent stock fully half (3.400 standards) are
in consumers’ hands. The consumption
during the past three months amounts to
over 5,500 standards ; better than same
period last year. The import during the
three months has been entirely by liners,
and mostly by those from St. John, N.B.,
and Halifax, N.S., and were practically all
disposed of at ship's sside. Prices are very
firm, and current rates are for 11 in., Is
2d; gin., 1s 1d; 7 in., 11d per cubic foot.

that our competitors are not in the possession of any points of value regard-
ing the manufacture of shingles which has not come to our knowledge.
Our old mill was burned down in May last, and in its place we have built
what is at the present time the Largest Shingle Mill in B. C.
Our new Mill has 7 of the latest improved type of Dunbar machine,
which we run night and day—giving us a capacity of about 100 Million
a year.
Competent judges who have seen our new mill, tell us that it is one of
the most substantial, carefully eonstrueted, and best planned mills in
this province.
We ourselves think it is the very best shingle mill in
B. C. ; and we know that it is equipped with all the very latest improved
Shingle Machinery.

There will be over a million feet of sawn lumber used in this one plant for
construction only ; over 30,000 lin. feet of piling, besides rock foundations ;
two car-loads of shingle machines only ; over 7 miles steam pipe r 1-2 inch
and up in diameter. A summary of all the material that will be used in the
construction of this plant shows that there will be over 320 car-loads, or 21
trains of 15 car-loads each.
With al! our pist experience in the shingle business, of which we make a
specialty, and with all the latest and best improvements in machinery and
mill construction, we expect it to be the most complete and up-to-date mill in
North America, where shingles can be made better than in the ordinary mill.
The above plant will be in operation about the first of June, and although
this mil will have a daily (24 hours) capacity of 1,250,000 shingles, the
dealers and consumers need not be afraid of any particular surplus, but can
rest assured that there will be one firm on the coast manufacturing red cedar
shingles from whom they can get their wants supplied in a hurry with that
old reliable ‘‘Hastings Brand’ so much talked about.
CUSTOMERS’ ATTENTION.—Please take notice that on and after the
ist day of January, 1902, all arrangements with the Pacific Coast Lumber Co.
of New Westminster, B. C., for the handling of any of our shingles will be
ended, and until further notice our authorized general agents will be Mr. Jas.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
It is usual for the month of April to be
characterized by a decline in the price of
lumber in anticipation of the new cut, but
the past month has been a notable excep-
tion. Prices of almost every grade of
lumber are equally as firm as one month
ago.J{The demand has been quite active,and
sufficient to absorb nearly all the dry lum-
ber on the market. There is practically no
merchantable pine that has not passed out
of first hands. A large percentage of the
new cut has also been contracted for at
prices considerably higher than those
ruling one year ago. It is, probable, how-
ever, that those who have bought will be
on the right side of the market, as should
any quantity of logs be hung up, as now
seems probable, the result would be a fur-
ther stiffeniag of prices. That a shortage
in the log supply is anticipated is shown
by the fact that logs are changing hands
in the Georgian Bay district at $11 per
thousand feet. It is said that on the north
shore several million feet are hung’ up.
Among the grades of lumber most in de-
mand are 10 and 12 inch dressing and
better and 6 inch strips. Several sales of
mill culls have been made at high figures,
Manufacturers report more liberal buying of
hardwoods, with less disposition to scruti-
nize the inspection.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Interest now centres on the log drives.
The situation has not improved and the
prospects for getting the logs to the mills
are not encouraging. Satisfactory pro-
gress is being made on the Tobique river
but the conditions on tbe St. John have
been less favorable. There has been con-
siderable buying of spruce deals for the
British market, as shippers seem to
fear a shortage in the supply.
timated that the shipments from Nova
Scotia will be considerably less than last
year. Cedar shingles continue firm, while
there has been a slight decline in the
price of spruce lath.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
The lumber trade in Manitoba and the
Territories is steadily increasing in vol-
ume. Building operations in Winnipeg
and the country towns are becoming quite
active and will call for a large quantity of
lumber. An advance in the price of white
pine lumber has been put into effect by the
It is es-
manufacturers. It is equal to about fifty
cents per thousand feet on timber and
dimension, boards, shiplap, flooring,
siding and ceiling. This is likely to be
followed by a corresponding advance in
retail prices. It is understood that the
II.
mills in British Columbia are also consid-
ering the raising of prices probably one
dollar per thousand, to offset the higher
prices asked for logs. The demand is
active and a prosperous season is expect-
ed by both lumber and shingle manufac-
turers.
UNITED STATES.
The lumber market generally is quite as
strong as at last writing. The situation
at the head of the lakes is not satisfactory
to mill men, inasmuch as there is a short-
age of logs and some of the mills may be
compelled to close down unless good pro-
gress is made with the drives. Business
is particularly active in Pennsylvania and
New York States. The high prices of
pine and spruce are causing the substitu-
tion of southern pine in a few instances.
Piece stuff is selling in the Chicago mar-
ket at $15.25. Dry stocks along the lakes
are cleared up, and green lumber will not
be ready for shipment for two or three
weeks yet. It is not likely, however, that
prices will be further advanced, as it
would be better to maintain prices at the
present basis than force them higher, and
probably bring about a sharp reaction
when the new cut is offered. In the
Saginaw valley long run pine is selling at
$17 to $25, box lumber at $14 to 16, and
mill culls at $12 to $13. Norway pine has
strengthened of late, an advance of $1
having been made at Toledo last week.
The base price there is now $17.50 for
2x4 to 2x10, 12 to 16 feet. Hemlock
prices are also moving upwards. Cargo
shippers who were selling dry hemlock a
few weeks ago on the basis of $9.50 to $10
at the mill now want $10.50 to $11. Re-
cent sales were on the basis of $11 de-
livered in Chicago, so that the asking
prices are an advance of over one dollar.
At Toledo hemlock boards are quoted at
$15. From the Pacific coast comes the
report that the mills are crowded to their
utmost with orders, and that shipments
are limited only by the available stocks of
lumber and the supply of cars. There has
been within the past two months a com-
plete reversal of the hardwood market.
At that time all kinds were quiet, where-
as there are few items that are not now
moving freely. Higher prices are being
asked for maple and birch.
Most of the lath to be cut at Duluth
this season has been contracted for at
high prices. In the Saginaw valley No.
1 laths are quoted at $4, and No. 2 at
$3.50. The demand is good for all grades
of shingles. It is said that sales of New
Brunswick shingles are being made in
Boston at a range from $3.50 to $3.75.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The knowledge that no import duty is
to be placed on timber was no doubt
responsible in part for the better tone of
the British market during the past fort-
night. The prospects of peace in South
Africa have also had a _ reassuring
influence. Buyers have entered the
market to secure specifications that are
likely to be required for eatly contracts.
In addition, there have been large public
sales of pine and spruce, as is usual
at this season of the year, to make
room for the new imports. The prices
realized show a slightly advancing ten-
dency. For a quantity of first quality
pine, from Quebec, £27 5s was obtained.
This price, however, seems low, inasmuch
as £30 is asked by Quebec shippers for
similar stock delivered at London. A
parcel of regulars, containing a percent-
age of second-class deals, brought £24.
Second quality pine, 14 to 15 feet in

length, sold at £16. The stock of spruce
deals is working down, and 9 and 11-inch
bring good prices. For narrow sizes the
market is dull. A correspondent at Liver-
pool writes that the stock of spruce on
hand is of very poor quality, but that it is
being firmly held owing to the attitude of
shippers. It is said that contracts have
been closed on the basis of £7 7s 6d per
standard c. i. f. Liverpool, for June load-
ing, and that for later delivery £7 10s is
asked. The prices realized for square
timber at a recent sale are given in
another column.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
The Parrsboro Lumber Company, of
Parrsboro, N, S., expect to ship 3,000,-
ooo feet of lumber this season.
The barque Pallas sailed last week from
the Hastings mill, Vancouver, B.C., with
lumber, for the United Kingdom.
J. & C. Hickman, of Port Elgin, N.B.,
expect to cut this season about 3,250,000
feet of spruce deals and 2,000,000 lath.
The Keewatin Lumber Company, of
Keewatin, Ont., expect to manufacture
20,000,000 feet of lumber this season,
McClellan Bros. have just finished saw-
ing 370,000 feet of deals and boards at
Hopewell, Hill, N.B., by a portable mill.
Sims Bros., of Little Current, Ont., last
week sold to William Pulling & Company,
of Windsor, 650,000 feet of .mill culls at
good figure.
J. Willard Smith, agent for Gibson's
mill at Marysville, N.B., expects to place
the first cargo of cedar shingles on the
market this week.
It is estimated that 33,000,000 feet of
deals were shipped to the United King-
dom from St. John’s, N. B., during the
past winter on the tegular liners.
One of the novelties of recent shipments
from British Columbia was” a cargo of
lumber from the Hastings Mill, Van-
couver, for Philadelphia, Penn.
The CANADA LUMBERMAN would be
pleased to learn of p&rties in a position to
make immediate shipfhent of about 5,000
railway ties, in either cedar or tamarac.
The Moulthrop Lumber Company, of
John’s Island, Ont., have purchased a
timber limit on the Vermillion river, es-
timated to contain 40,000,000 feet of pins.
John L. Peck and J. Nelson Smith, of
Hillsboro, N.B., are reported to have pur-
chased 1,400 acres of timber land in the
vicinity of Albert Mines, N.B., from Capt.
H. A. Calhoun.
It is estimated that there are 290,000,-
ooo feet of logs to come out of the Spanish
river and tributaries this spring. The
water is low, however, and many of the
logs may be hung up.
R. A. Estey, of Fredericton, N.B., has
sold 1,500,000 feet of spruce logs of this
winter’s cut to John E. Moore, of St.
John. Mrs. Estey took out more logs than
he can manufacture at his mill.
The Canadian Pacific Railway Company
are asking for tenders in this issue for the
supply of track ties, fence posts, telegraph
poles and piling required by the Ontario
division for the next three or five years.
The barque Rhoda cleared from Little
Current, Ont., on the 18th inst., for Cleve-
land, with 541,000 feet of lumber for the
Saginaw Bay Company. This is part of
the stock purchased by the company
from Sims Bros.
According to M. L. Tucker, the ship-
ments of lumber from Parrboro, N.S,
this season will be smaller than for some
years. He estimates that the shipments
from West Bay will not exceed 15,000,000
feet, compared with nearly 40,000,000 feet
last year.
The Parrsboro Lumber Company, of
Parrsboro, N.S., operated last winter in
Newfoundland, getting out 2,500,000 feet
ofjogs at Notre Dame Junction. The
Highland Lumber Company, also a Nova
Scotia concern, took out 3,000,000 feet at
Norris Arm. The Exploits Lumber Com-
pany, operating at Botwoodville, Nfid.,
took out 10,000,000 feet last winter.
Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Company,
in their report of April 12th, thus refer to
the Barbadoes market: ‘‘There have
been no arrivals of white pine, but the
market is amply supplied at the moment.
We could not venture to value a cargo at
present over $20 to $20.50 for shipping,
and $15 to $15.50 for second quality. In
spruce we have had the “‘ Josie,” with
130,000 feet, which we placed at $18.37.
The steamer ‘ Bratsberg’” brought a
small parcel of long cedar shingles, which
have been sold at $3.60 ; further arrivals,
however, will probably not bring this
price.”

The activity about the mills is the pre-
sent prominent feature of the lumber busi-
ness. Every preparation has been made
for a big season's cut, and all that remains
to transform expectations into realizat‘ons
is a large and steady supply of logs.

Building operations in the city have not
as yet taken on the accustomed activity,
but better things are looked for. The
talk of strikes in the building trades is
dying out, and local dealers are anticipat-
ing a busy season with the city trade.
Shipments to the States have picked up,
and the C. P. Railway and C. A. Rail-
way report an increased inquiry for cars.
The trade with the States by water will be
large this season.
The dry weather has given the Ottawa
lumbermen considerable trouble, and un-
less an marks the

be tied up, as the water is low. The
Riordan Paper Company, of Hawkesbury,
is said to have a considerable quantity of
stuff on the Rough River which will have

This week a couple of
large booms passed down the river to
Grenville, en route to Montreal. The
report that the Canadian Pacific Railway
has purchased the Ottawa, Northern and
Western Railway and the Pontiac line is
good news for the local lumbermen, the
improved service will facilitate the hand-
ling of supplies. If the C.P.R. extends
the lines as is predicted, new and valuable
territory, will be opened up.
In the provincial campaign the local
lumber trade is deeply interested, as two
of its members are prospective candidates.

Pembroke, son of the late Andrew White,
M.L.A., will contest North Renfrew in
the Conservative interests against Mr.
Munro, the sitting member, who is a well-
known lumberman. Mayor White con-
trols his father’s interests in the lumber
business. Mr. Alex. Lumsden, who re-
turned a few days ago from the Temis-
camingue district, statesthat the Kippewa
Temiscamingue, and smaller lakes are
still full of ice. Navigation will not be
opened for some time. None of the mills
are running yet.
Atthe annual meeting held here last
week Mr. W. C. Edwards, M.P., the well-
known lumberman, was elected President
of the Canadian Association for the Pre-
vention of Tuberculosis.

The spruce lumber situation still hinges
on the log drives. The weather condi-
tions east still continue unfavorable for
driving, and the probabilities thoroughly
favor a hang-up of a good portion of the
new logs in the tributaries of the big
rivers. Manufacturers, consequently,
ev nce a determination to either withdraw
otations entirely, or bid $1.50 to $2 per
usand over last winter's prices. Quota-
tions are $18 to $20 on ordinary frames;
,o-in. and over, $20 to $22, with the lower
quotations more nearly nominal than other-
wise.

manufacturing and shipping shingles in large quantities, or that we ‘‘ know
it all.” We recognize that ‘‘there are others” and that we are not the
only ‘‘ pebble on the beach."" To try and make you believe that we are the
only people who can supply you promptly and in large quantities with a
high-grade shingle would not only be a fish and a bear story combined,
but it would be gall of the bitterest kind.
Our competitors ir the shingle business in B. C. are nice people, and we
presume that they kn >w their business ; but we are nice people too, and as
we have been in the trade as long as any of them, and a gpeat deal
longer than the most of them, we know that we know our business, and
that our competitors are not in the possession of any points of value regard-
ing the manufacture of shingles which has not come to our knowledge.
Our old mill was burned down in May last, and in its place we have built
what is at the present time the Largest Shingle Mill in B. C.
Our new Mill has 7 of the latest improved type of Dunbar machine,
which we run night and day—giving us a capacity of about 100 Million
a year.
Competent judges who have seen our new mill, tell us that it is one of
the most substantial, carefully eonstrueted, and best planned mills in
this province. We ourselves think it is the very best shingle mill in
B. C. ; and we know that it is equipped with all the very latest improved
Shingle Machinery.
Will the trade please note that our contract with the Pacific Coast
SEOSSSSESES ESSE S SOOO SSS SELES E SES OSSS
Another Lite Mil
There will be over a million feet of sawn lumber used in this one plant for
construction only ; over 30,000 lin. feet of piling, besides rock foundations ;
two car-loads of shingle machines only ; over 7 miles steam pipe 1 1-2 inch
and up in diameter. A summary of all the material that will be used in the
construction of this plant shows that there will be over 320 car-loads, or 21
trains of 15 car-loads each.
With all our past experience in the shingle business, of which we make a
specialty, and with all the latest and best improvements in machinery and
mill construction, we expect it to be the most complete and up-to-date mill in
North America, where shingles can be made better than in the ordinary mill+
The above plant will be in operation about the first of June, and although
this mill will have a daily (24 hours) capacity of 1,250,000 shingles, the
dealers and consumers need not be afraid of any particular surplus, but can
rest assured that there will be one firm on the coast manufacturing red cedar
shingles from whom they can get their wants supplied in a hurry with that
old reliable ‘‘Hastings Brand’’ so much talked about.
CUSTOMERS’ ATTENTION.—Please take notice that on and after the
1st day of January, rgoz, all arrangements with the Pacific Coast Lumber Co.
of New Westminster, B. C., for the handling of any of our shingles will be
ended, and until further notice our authorized general agents will be Mr. Jas.
Twitchell, Clinton, Ont., for Ontario, and Mr. Samuel Ashfield of Winnipeg,
Man , for Manitoba and the North-West ; therefore, orders for straight or
mixed cars sent through the above agents or direct to us will have equally
prompt and careful attention.
Lumber Co. closed on December 31, 1901. Orders sent to us by letter or
telegraph shall have our best attention.
We want our share of your shingle business, and can guarantee
you satisfaction in every particular.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
From the standpoint of volume of busi-
ness, the first week of May has not more
than held its own. Enquiries for lumber
have not been lacking, but the shortage in
the supply of diy stock makes it almost
impossible to fill large orders. The mill
men are as firm as ever, and if one can
judge by their attitude when approached
by a buyer, prices are not likely to be
marked down in the near future. It may
be said that conditions favor the main-
tenance of present prices. American
buyers are still in the market for pine
lumber. A- Georgian Bay manufacturer
is reported as saying that within one
month he has sold $350,000 worth of lum-
ber for shipment to the United States.
Notwithstanding the benefit of late rains,
a considerable quantity of logs are yet in
danger of being hung up. Even if a full
stock of:togs is secured, the quantity of
lumber that can be offered by manu-
facturers will, On account of the
heavy sales already made, be
comparatively small, ‘while if there should
be an appreciable shortage in the log
supply, conditions favoring still higher
prices would be encountered. While these
remarks apply to pine, they are equally
applicable to hardwoods, the difference be-
ing that the shortage in the production of
hardwood logs is a certainty, very light
stocks having been taken out last winter.
Holders of hardwood lumber are demand-
ing full prices and find little difficulty in
effecting a sale whenever the lumber is
wanted. A strong market for hardwood
lumber this season is confidently looked for.
The retail demand in Toronto has been
quiet on account of labor troubles. A
great deal of building has been held back
awaiting a settlement with the different
trades, and as soon as this is assured
there is likely to be more than usual
activity for two or three months.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The first cargoes of lumber for the sea-
son left the St. Lawrence within the past
week. The charters effected would indi-
cate that the season will not be particular-
ly active, but it is likely that the total ship-
ments will not be materially less than last
year. No doubt more lumber will be
marketed in the United States, and this
increase is likely to be made at the ex-
pense of British trade. Millmen in Quebec
report numerous enquiries from the East-
ern States for clapboards and other spruce
lumber for immediate shipment, but it fre-
quently happens that dry stock is not
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
available to fill the orders. The price of
clapboards is exceptionally firm. This
also applies to cedar shingles, tor which
$3.40 is obtained for extras, Boston deliv-
ery.
Renels are being chartered to carry
deals from St. John to the United King-
dom at 35 shillings. Shippers have ap-
parently taken advantage of this low rate,
as within the past fortnight a number of
fixtures have been made. These are
mostly for June and July loading. Prices
of British deals are exhibiting firmness,
partly due to the probability of a shortage
in the log supply. While recent rains
have improved the driving situation, the
danger point is not yet passed. The cut
of logs on the St. Jobn river last winter
was about 140,000,000 feet, but only one-
half of this quantity was Canadian logs,
the balance being cut in Maine to be man-
ufactured by the American firms with mills
at St. John. All the lumber from this
stock will be marketed in the United
States.
UNITED STATES,
Rains in many sections of the United
States have improved the outlook in busi-
ness circles generally, and particularly in
the lumber trade. Most of the mills in the
Lake Superior district are in operation,
but a full stock of logs for. the season's
sawing is by no means yet assured and
will depend to a large extent upon the
weather conditions of the next two weeks.
Wholesale stocks of lumber in the Missis-
sippi valley district are the lowest ever
known in the history of the trade. The
demand for lumber is increasing, but
orders are largely filled by second or
third hands, as practically no dry stock is
held by manufacturers. Prices show no
change. Last week 23,000,00c feet of
lumber was sold by Alger, Smith & Com-
pany, of Marquette, Mich., for shipment
eastward. The stock was mainly No. 3
and better, and the price is believed to
have been $26 per thousand. It will be
seen that the eastern dealer will be obliged
to turn over the stock at a very high fig-
ure in order to-secure a margin of profit.
The high prices do not appear to have
restricted the consumption to any extent.
Opinions differ, however, as to the future
of prices. Some Buftalo dealers are pre-
dicting a decline later in the season and
are consequently deferring purchases ex-
cepc for immediate requirements. At
Buffalo and Tonawanda there is a scarci-
ty of 4 and 6 inch No. 1, 2 and 3 barn-
boards, which are selling from $18 to $26.
The demand for those items and 4-inch
strips is brisk. In the Saginaw valley
mill culls are selling readily at $13 and
box lumber at $16.
All the better grades of hardwoods are
in good demand, with elm, basswood, and
black ash leading. Maple is showing a
good deal of life, but the supply is com-
paratively large and it seems difficult to
advance prices to a reasonable basis.
Hemlock is showing more strength at the
present lime than any other lumber. The
base price at Buffalo is $14.50. Dealers
report a scarcity of stock and in some in-
stances have been compelled for this rea-
sor. to refuse orders.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The report of the British timber market
this week is of a more encouraging char-
acter. The demand hasimproved, and as
stocks of Canadian lumber are now com-
paratively light excepting at London, the
tendency of prices is upwards. Quebec
pine deals are at a premium and spruce
deals are in much higher appreciation
than they were two months ago. Import-
ers have apparently reatized at last that
there will be no large quantity of Cana-
dian pine and spruce for export to Great
Britain this year. It is belleved that regular
sizes of deals will witness a sharp advance
in the nearfuture. There has been heavy
buying at recent auction sales, which is
taken as an indication that buyers do not
anticipate a slump in prices. A Liverpool
house is reported to have sold a large
quantity of New Brunswick sprice deals
at £7 108 c.i.f. Liverpool and Manchester,
one cargo from St. John N. B., containing
60 per cent. 7 and 8 inch, being placed at
that figure. Quebec second and_ third
quality spruce have been sold for London
delivery on the basis of £8 17s 6d for 3x9
seconds and £8 7s 6d for thirds. For
deals in stock high prices are asked. Reg-
ular second quality spruce is particularly
scarce. A London report states that £10
landed for 3x9 third quality will be ob-
tained in the near future. At West Hartle-
pool forward buying is proceeding more
briskly than heretofore, and Quebec ship-
pers have been successful in placing Sev-
eral lots.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
White and Norway mixed pine laths are
selling in the Chicago market at $3.50 to
$3.75:
The schooner Abbie K. Kease cleared
from the Miramichi last week for New
York with a cargo of laths.
The barque Prince Louis sailed last
week from the Hastings mill, Vancouver,
B. C., tor Candiff, England, with a cargo
of lumber.
The steamer Edgar recently arrived
at Charlottetown, P.E.I., from Charleston
with 1,700,000 feet of southern pine for
caisson construction.
The Hines Lumber Company, of Mari-
nette, Wis., recently sold 2,000,000 feet
of white pine to the R. Laidlaw Lumber
Company, of Buffalo.
Hemlock shingles are quoted in Pitts-
burg at an advance of 15¢ a thousand,
selling now at $2.65 and $3.05 for 16 and
18 inch respectively.
A drive of 4,000,000 feet of logs, to be
cut for Mershon, Schuette, Parker & Com-
pany, of Saginaw, was last week reported
to be hung up in Vermillion river.
The International Lumber Company, of
Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., is reported to have
closed a contract with the Government of
Japan to supply 600,000 tea chests.
Dimension spruce is in short supply at
Portland, Me., at $19. Three years ago
there was an excess of supply at $12.
Clapboards bring $35, $40, $45 and $50,
according to grade.
The advance that has taken place inthe
price of pine lumber is illustrated by the
position of mill culls. Five years ago
this grade was selling at $5, whereas the
current quotation is $13.
At Philadelphia dry inch uppers are
bringing $75 to $79, and 1/2 and 2-inch
$80. For r2-inch’No. t common $34 to
$36 is asked, while No. 2 common brings
$28 to $30, and No. 3 $25.50 to $27.
The barge Komstock, from Georgian
Bay to the Saginaw river with a cargo of
lumber for Mershon,. Schuette, Parker &
Company, lost her entire deck load of
about 250,000 feet, owing to rough weath-
er, and the schooner Ketcham, in tow of
the steamer Maine, from Georgian Bay
with lumber for Bradley, Miller & Com-
pany, of Bay City, lost 125,000 feet of her
deck load.
VENEER DOORS FOR SALE.
Messrs. Gilmour & Company, of Tren-
ton, Ont., announce in this issue that they
have for sale a considerable quantity of
red oak, birch, brown ash and maple
veneer doors. These doors are held in
stock and it is their desire to clear them
out preparatory to the installation of a
new plant. Immediate shipment can be
made. F

NEW BRUNSWICK LOG DRIVES.
Recent rains in New Brunswick have
improved the outlook for log driving.
The Restigouche drives, as a rule, are
safe. In Gloucester the main Nepisiquit
drive is hanging and the work is very
expensive. One drive of a million feet
has already cost $5 per thousand. The
Tracadie drive of Snowball & Company
is only started and there is no certainty
of getting it out. The large drive for
Gibson & Company on the Bartholomew
river is believed to be in safe waters, Mr.
Gibson's cut on the Nashwaak and Bar-
tholomew rivers last winter was about
37,000,000 feet.
On May ist the water in the St. John
river rose several inches. As there is yet
some snow in the woods, according to
latest reports, a further rise may be an-
ticipated, in which case all the drives
may come out safely.
R. A. Estey’s Rockway drive (of
2,000,000 feet, William Lynch's drive | of
1,000,000 feet on Green river, and Ran-
ak ees
polph & Baker's drive of 2,000,000 feet
on Grand river, are into the main stream.
James Burgess & Son, 2,000,000 feet,
J. A. Patterson, 5,000,000 feet on Salmon
river, and the Tobique Manufacturing
Company, 5,500,000 feet, expect to be in
corporation limits this week. Robert
Aiken is bringing about 4,500,000 feet
gut of Rocky Brook, a branch of the
Machias river, and at time of wr ting his
logs are in safe water. Darius Nixon is
bringing 3,000,000 feet out of the Resti-
gouche river for the William Richards
Company and is making fair progress.
Jacob Hazleton has 2,000,000 feet in safe
waters.
The cut on the St. John river last win-
ter is estimated at 138,750,000 feet. Of
this 71,750,000 are American logs and
67,000,000 feet Canadian logs, for the fol-
lowing parties:

B. C. SPRUCE AND CEDAR WANTED.
A British firm writes to the CANADA
LUMBERMAN as follows : ‘- We shall feel
much obliged if you could put us in com-
munication with a reliable firm or firms
who are in a position to furnish us with in-
formation, with a view to doing business,
with regard to what is known as Pacific
Coast spruce or Washington spruce, suit-
able for yacht spars. These spars arebe-
ing brought over by rail to some place in
New York State, manufactured into spars
and sent to this country. Our yacht and
boat builders would like to receive the
spars in the rough round and manufacture
them themselves. The spars would re-
quire to be free from knots and blemishes.
We should also feel obliged if you could
inform us as to who the best party would
be to communicate with in regard to Brit-
ish Columbia cedar, either in the log or
planks.”
Persons interested may obtain the name
and address of the firm by communicating
ing with the publishers of this journal.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the Canada Lumberman.)
No changes can be located in the mar-
ket lists for lumber in the Ottawa district,
for the reason that very little is selling.
American buyers who made the trip from
Ottawa to Parry Sound last week had all
the one report to give at Ottawa on their
return. The burden of their wail was ‘‘not
a stick to be had”. They are now
scouting the territory east of Ottawa.
There will be ‘‘something doing” inside a
few weeks, however, when business is
transacted in whch the new cut at the
mils is involved.
Recen!
but the fact remains that
rains have improved matters,
a considerable
‘hung
conjunc-
perventage of the logs will likely be‘
up” on the creeks. Taken in
tion with the companion fact that a goodly
number of logs intended for this season's
cutting at the mi'ls, never got clear of the
limits, it can be readily seen that a short-
age in supply is not a wild guess. The
above cundijions will fur:ber supply one to
the list of reasons why lumber should re-
main firm and probably advance in price.
Reports inaicate that the export busi-
ness to the United Kingdom is brisker than
for the same period in previous years. The
railroads are handling considerable stock
to points in Western Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania, but a lull has followed the activity
noted a few weeks since in the shipments
to New York points via Albany barge line.
Presumably the extra demand of the
early spring building and manufacturing
trade has been satisfied.
The shipments to Canadian points are
good, but the local trade is poor, as
building operations are not being con-
ducted on an extensive scale. On Tuesday
the first shipment by barge was made
from Ottawa, the objective point being

The lumber was the pro-
concern operates at that town. It is early
yet to state what the extent of the water
shipments will be, as the land rates on
frieghts are unsettled. As the demand is
brisk, however, it is safe to predict a busy
season for the “‘blue bottoms” of the Ot-

There will be over a million feet of sawn lumber used in this one plant for
construction only ; over 30,000 lid. feet of piling, besides rock foundations ;
two car-loads of shingle machines only ; over 7 miles steam pipe 1 1-2 inch
and up in diameter. A summary of all the material that will be used in the
construction of this plant shows that there will be over 320 car-loads, or 21
trains of 15 car-loads each.
With all our past experience in the shingle business, of which we make a
specialty, and with all the latest and best improvements in machinery and
mill construction, we expect it to be the most complete and up-to-date mill in
North America, where shingles can be made better than in the ordinary mill.
The above plant will be in operation about the first of June, and although
this mill will have a daily (24 hours) capacity of 1,250,000 shingles, the
dealers and consumers need not, be afraid of any particular surplus, but can
rest assured that there will be one firm on the coast manufacturing red cedar
shingles from whom they can get their wants supplied in a hurry with that
old reliable ‘‘Hastings Brand’’ so much talked about.

The quantity of the pine cut of this

hands has placed the manufacturer in an
exceptionally favorable position. Even if
there should be a slump in prices, it is not
likely that he would be affected this year.
Estimates of the proportion of the cut dis-
posed of vary between 50and 75percent.At
the present time arguments are advanced
by some that prices are too high, and by
others that the cost of logging and manu-
facturing warraits a further advance.
Granting that prices are abnormal, the
responsibility therefor may be attributed
to the buyer rather than the seller. The
purchasing has not been conducted with

PETER RYAN,
Toronto,
Manufacturers still report numerous in-
quiries from dealers in Michigan, and the
Eastern States. The settlement of the
carpenters’ strike in Toronto should stimu-
late the demand for lumber. . A
dealer states that the resultant improve-
ment is only noticeable and that there is
retail
not much buoyancy to the demand and a
good deal of bartering over prices. Hem-
lock is inquired for considerably, and
hardwoods are being bought by imp!ement
and furniture factories, which have al-
lowed their stocks to runlow. The quo.
tations for lath and shingles are unaltered,
with the stringency in the supply. some-
what broken.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The tone of the spruce market is gradu-
ally improving owing to an increased de-
mand for clapboards and other lumber for
shipment to the Eastern States and deals
for the British market.

hibiting a firm attitude.
only a matter of a few weeks before con-
siderably higher prices will rule, as the
supply is not likely to be sufficient to meet
the demand. Reports of the log drives
are favorable from the Miramichi, but
somewhat gloomy from the Restigouche,
where the water has fallen rapidly.
New Brunswick cedar shingles are very
strong. The large manufacturers are ac-
cepting no orders at less than $3.50 for
extras and $3.10 for clears, Boston de-
livery. We have been shown an order for
a considerable quantity of shingles at
oy
$3.65 for extras and $3.10 for clears, less
5 per cent. commission. This order was
refused by the mill owner, who did not
wish to accept more contracts than were
already on his books. Simultaneously
with this information, comes the report
from Boston that prices have advanced.
It would seem, therefore, that ruling quo-
tations are about as given above, and that
sales made at lower prices are by small
mill owners whose production may not be
of the best quality or who are not in touch
with the market. From present indica-
tions a further advance in the price of
cedar shingles is likely to take place.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
Building operations are very active in
Winnipeg and lumber is going into con-
sumption at a rapid rate. In addition to
the many important buildings under way
in that city, there is a large volume ‘of
building in country districts. The crop
outlook is favorable and everything points
to a year of prosperity throughout Mani-
toba and the Territories. Wholesale
prices of lumber have been advanced, as
will be seen by the list published in an-
other column. The lumber and shingle
industry of British Columbia is also ina
prosperous condition. The mills are op-
erating steadily as far as it is possible to
obtain logs. Some of the mill owners are
putting in their own camps so as to insure
a supply. A proposition is under way to
form an intermediate company to act as
sales agent for the logging contractors.
It is thought that such an arrangement
will benefit both the logger and the mill
man.
UNITED STATES,
The lumber market of the United States
has been somewhat featureless during the
past week, the only important event being
the issuance of a new price list on white
pine by the Mississippi Valley Lumber-
men’s Association. This list, while intend-
ed largely to unify prices, shows several
importan! changes as compared with the
list issued in Febrnary last. Common lum-
ber and piece stuff remain unchanged,
timbers are advanced 50 cents, while a
substantial advance was made in the price
of good lumber, ranging from $2 to $5.
There is practically no A grade finishing
lumber or flooring in the Minneapolis
market. Shop lumber was advanced $2,
and dimension in 4x4 up to 8x8 50 cents.
No. 4 fencing, 6-inch, in 12 to 20-foot
lengths, was reduced 50 cents, and lath
25 cents. Current prices for lath are $4
for No. 1 white pine, $3.50 for mixed, and
$3 for No. 2. It is believed that the new
price list can be maintained without diffi-
culty, as there is no dry lumber in the
market and some of the mills are closed
down on account of a scarcity of logs.
The east is not buying lumber quite as
liberally as earlier in the spring, probably
on account of labor troubles ia the build-
ing trade. Buffalo dealers are anxious
that mill prices should decline, so as to
remove the necessity of further advancing
wholesale prices, which, it is believed,
would restrict the consumption. In the
Buffalo market mill culls are selling at $14
and box lumber at $15.50 to $19.
Hemlock is decidely strong. The base
price of Michigan hemlock has been ad-
vanced to $14.50, while at Buffalo and
Tonawanda it is $14.50 and at Boston
$15.50, being an advance of so cents. A
further expansion in the hardwood busi-
ness is reported, with wholesale stocks
badly broken and very little in the hands
of mill men. If any change can be re-
corded in shingles and lath, it is in the di-
rection of weakness. The assortment of
shingles at Buffalo and Tonawanda is
larger than it has been for several months.
Since navigation red cedar shingles have
declined about ten cents. Clear butt pine
shingles are the scarcest in the market
and are quoted at $2.85. White pine lath
are selling in the Tonawanda market at a
range from $3.75 to $4.50.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The outlook for peace in South Africa is
now so bright that a marked improvement
in general business is looked for. In the
timber trade, however, there has not been
as much activity as was expected, al-
though the volume of business has been
fairly satisfactory and of a sound char-
acter. The import during April was con-
siderably less than in the corresponding
month of last year; consequently an op-
portunity has been afforded importers to
reduce stocks. That this has been accom-
plished is shown by the figures for Liver-
pool. Compared with one year ago the
stock at that port of square and waney
pine, red pine, birch, and New Brunswick
spruce and pine deals is less than one-
half, while Quebec pine deals are held in
about the same quantity as one year ago.
The stock of elm and ash is considerably
larger. The stock, however, is largely of
an inferior quality. Timber and deals of
first-class quality meet with a ready sale.
Birch timber is slightly higher, quotations
being 18 to 19%d per cubic foot for 15 to
16 inch average. Elin is quoted at 3s to
38 4d for 45 to 50 feet average. Red pine
brings from 1s 7d to 1s 10d.

LUMBERING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA.
[COMMUNICATED. ]
From the items touching on the lumber
business in British Columbia that have
already appeared in your paper, it will
have been noticed that this business, and
that of shingles, are in a much more pros-
perous condition than they have ever
been. The estimated output of shingles,
when the new shingle mills that are now
building, together with the present mills,
are in full Operation, will be 800,000,000
shingles per annum. Of this amount it js
expected that 300,000,000 will be sold in
the Canadian market and 500,000,000 in
the United States market.
The estimated cut of logs for 1902 is
260,000,000 feet, roughly speaking. Two-
thirds of this quantity will be fir, with a
small percentage of spruce. One-third
will be cedar. Of the amount of fir cut
one-quarter will run from 35 to 100 feet in
length. The prevailing prices for logs
are as follows :
No. 1 long deck plank. . $9.00 per M.
Fir merchantable....... 7.00 4
Bie Boonint ‘acd 22 aa5 Wee 8.00 ge
No. 2 merchantable .... 6.00 <4
50 cents per M. is added for each addi-
tional 10 feet from 40 feet in length and
upwards. No. 1 cedar is held at $7.50
per M. and ‘merchantable at $6.50. ° All
the above prices are delivered at the mills.
The local market is entirely bare of logs,
as up tc the end of last year it was possi-
ble to export, especially cedar logs, to
Puget Sound, while the past winter has
been a very wet and unfavorable one for
working in the woods.
The mills holding leases are increasing
the number of camps Operating on their
Own account.
A help to the placing of the lumber
business on a better footing in British
Columbia is the passing of an Act by the
present local Legislature, entitled, “‘A Bill
for the Measurement of Timber”. This
Bill provides for the payment of the Super-
visor and Official Scalers for the perform-
ance of this important duty.
All the mills in British Columbia have
more orders on hand than they can fill.
In some cases their agents in Manitoba
and the North-West Territories have been
withdrawn. The large crops of last year
and the influx of settlers that is now taking
place is causing an abnormal demand for
lumber. R.E.G.

THE BOSTON MARKET.
Spruce
lumber prices at Boston are
firm at the advance, which amounts to
fully $1 per M over the prices of a month
or two ago. Still, the trade is scarcely
fair, the stronger prices having helped to
discourage building. Indeed, the present
demand is rather limited, owing,doubtless,
to strikes and labor troubles.
Spruce quotations are nominally firm :
Ten and 12 inch dimensions, $20 to $22 ;
g-inch and under, $19 to $20; 10 and 12
inch random lengths, 10 feet and up, $20. 50;
2X3, 2X4, 2X5, 2x6, 2x7 and 3x4, 10 feet
e
and up, $17.50 ; all other randoms, one
and under, to feet and up, $18 50; 5-inch
and up merchantable boards, $17 ; matched
boards, $19 to $20; out spruce boards,
$13.50 to $14 ; bundle furring, $17 to $18.
Hemlock lumber is very firm, with the
supply small : 14 and 16
feet stock, $15 to $15.50 for good eastern;
Vermont $14 to $14.50; random, eastern,
$14 to $14.50 ; Pennsylvania, No. 1, $16
to $17.50; No. 2, $15 to $15.50.
Western pine is exceedingly firm, with
even more than quotationspaid in many in-
stances : Here,uppers, 1-in, $75 to $80; 2%
and 3 in, $80 to $85 ; 4-in, $85 to $88;
Selects, 1 to ry in. $68; 2-in. $69 to $70 ;
2% to 3 in. $74 to $76; 4-in. $79 to $80;
fine common, t-in. $60 to $63; 1& to 1%
in. $64 to $66; 2-in.$68 to $70; 24% and 3 in.

There will be over a million feet of sawn lumber used in this one plant for
construction only ; over 30,000 lin. feet of piling, besides rock foundations ;
1-2 inch
A summary of all the material that will be used in the
construction of this plant shows that there will be over 320 car-loads, or 21
trains of 15 car-loads each.
two car-loads of shingle machines only ; over 7 miles steam pipe 1
and up in diameter.
With all our past experience in the shingle business, of which we make a
specialty, and with all the latest and best improvements in machinery and
mill construction, we expect it to be the most complete and up-to-date mill in
North America, where shingles can be made better than jn the ordinary mill.
The above plant will be in operation about the first of June, and although
this mill will have a daily (24 hours) capacity of 1,250,000 shingles, the
dealers and consumers need not be afraid of any particular surplus, but can
rest assured that there will be one firm on the coast manufacturing red cedar
shingles from whom they can get their wants supplied in a hurry with that
old reliable ‘‘Hastings Brand’ so much talked about.
CUSTOMERS’ ATTENTION. — Please take notice that on the
1st day of January, 1902, all arrangements with the Pacific Coast Lumber Co.
of New Westminster, B. C., for the handling of any of our shingles
ended. Until further notice our authorized general agents will be Mr. Jas.
Twitchell, Clinton, Ont., for Ontario, and Mr. Samuel Ashfield of Winnipeg,
Man , for Manitoba waa the North-West ; therefore, orders for straight or
mixed cars sent through the above agents or direct to us will have equally
prompt and careful attention.

No. 1 pine lath are selling in the Tona-

Messrs. Churchill & Sim, wood brokers,

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
Recognizing the fact that prices for
lumber cannot go much higher without
curtailing the demand, some manufactur-
ers are endeavoring to prevent prices
from advancing. If prices should advance
much above ruling quotations, it is alto-
gether probable that a sharp reaction
would occur, and that the market would
be unsettled thereby. It would not be a
difficult matter for manufacturers, by con-
certed effort, to advance prices, as buyers
recognize the great scarcity of white pine
lumber. There are few water mills on the
Georgian Bay that have not sold most of
their stock. We have seen letters from
wholesale dealers almost pleading for
stock and admitting the difficulty of secur-
ing sufficient for a cargo. The
present is distinctly a millman’s market.
Retail trade in Toronto is not picking up
as might be expected. Dealers are filling
orders as far as possible from old stock
and are not buying heavily of the new cut,
as it is claimed that prices are too high to
leave a fair margin of profit. It may be,
however, that they will be compelled to
stock up at present prices and to advance
retail quotations accordingly. The supply
of lath is more plentiful, with prices slightly
easier.
Toronto.
There is a famine in shingles in
It is impossible to secure any
dry pine shingles at the mills, and it is
claimed that the production this year will
be unusually light. British Columbia
shingles are also out of the market, and
dealers who have placed orders with the
mills have been advised that it will be im-
possible to make shipment earlier than
from one month to six weeks, on account
of the advance orders.
Hemlock lumber is very strong. The
retail price in Toronto is about $14.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Manufacturers are in good spirits owing
to the improved outlook for spruce lum-
ber. The shippers have succeeded in
placing the bulk of the deals that will be
manufactured for the British market.
Several spruce cuts which are usually
secured by London buyers have this year
gone to Liverpool and Manchester. The
Joly cut, for instance, has been divided
between two London firms and buyers at
Manchester. Reports from the New
Brunswick drives are not favorable.
Water in the St. John river and tribu-*
taries has fallen rapidly and several
million feet are hung up.
The cedar shingle market is decidedly ,
strong. The lowest quotations are $3.50
for extras and $3 for clears, on Boston
rate of freight.
said to be making sales at $3.60 and_ pre-
dicting that $3.70 will be reached at an
early date.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
Salesmen report no difficulty in selling
lumber throughout Manitoba and the
Territories. Retail dealers are stocking
up liberally on the belief that the demand
will gradually expand as the season ad-
vances. Prices of all grades are strong,
with finishing lumber leading. The lum-
ber business of British Columbia continues
most prosperous, the volume of trade
being limited only by the ability of manu-
facturers to supply the lumber. The saw
mill owners of the Boundary district have
entered into an agreement to advance the
price of lumber to $14 per thousand, de-
livered. The activity in the shingle in-
dustry is almost unprecedented.
Some manufacturers are)
firmly established.
UNITED STATES.
In some quarters there has been a
slight falling off in the demand for lumber.
Retail dealers are not buying as freely as
two weeks ago, probably on account of
the decreased building operations in New
York and the New England States.
Conditions are favorable, however, for a
satisfactory summer trade and for the
maintenance of lumber prices generally.
Wholesale buying has absorbed all the dry
stock, and manufacturers have been
unable to meet the demand. Heavy rains
in the Lake Superior district have re-
lieved the logging situation and assured
an ample supply of logs for the mills.
Albany sends higher quotations for uppers,
of which the supply has become almost
exhausted. Box lumber and mill culls
are among the best sellers of the lower
grades, at the highest prices that have
been reached for years. It is reported
from Buffalo and Tonawanda that the
proportion of uppers and high grades
that are received is growing less each
year, which accounts for the fancy prices
which are now being paid for these
grades. There is a large amount of
hardwoods moving and _ stocks have
become somewhat depleted.
In spite of efforts to advance the price
of maple, sales are still being made at a
low figure. Ata meeting of the Maple
Flooring Manufacturers’ Association held
in Chicago recently, prices of clear and
common flooring were advanced two
dollars and factory grades one dollar.
Spruce lumber is strong. In New York
city random lengths, 6 and 8-inch, are
quoted at $19 to $19.50,and spruce lath at
$3.25 to $3.50.
GREAT BRITAIN.
There is a more cheerful tone to the
reports of the British timber market.
Buyers are realizing that those who
bought early in the season followed the
wisest course, as prices are gradually
hardening, and those who have not
supplied their requirements will be under
the necessity of paying higher prices.
This applies not only to retail trade, but
also to cargo lots. The possibilitv of
securing cheaper lumber later in the
year becomes more remote as time goes
on. The higher prices appear to be
Shippers are now
asking £9 10s c.i. f. London for 3x9
second quality Quebec spruce, and £9
for thirds. It is understood that 1,500
standards of New Brunswick spruce,
with 50 per cent. 7 and 8-inch, have been
placed at £7 tos c. i. f. London, and that
three small cargoes have been sold to the
Mersey on the basis of £7 7s 6d. At
Glasgow white pine deals of all grades
are out of first hands, and the first
arrivals will doubtless meet a ready
market. Birch, elm, ash, oak, and white
pine timber have all improved slightly in
about the order named. ,

manufacturing and shipping shingles in large quantities, or that we ‘ know
it all.”

We recognize that ‘‘there are others’ and that we are not
the
To try and make you believe that we are the
only people who can supply you promptly and in large quantities with a
high-grade shingle would not only be a fish and a bear story combined,
but it would be gall of the bitterest kind.
Our competitors ir the shingle business in B. C. are nice people, and we
presume that they kn »>w their business ; but we are nice people too, and as
we have been in the trade as long as any of them,
and a great deal
longer than the most of them, we know that we know our business, and
that our competitors are not in the possession of any points of value regard-
ing the manufacture of shingles which has not come to our knowledge.
Our old mill was burned down in May last, and in its place we have built
what is at the present time the Largest Shingle Mill in B. C.
Our new Mill has 7 of the latest improved type of Dunbar machine,
which we run night and day—giving us a capacity of about 100 Million
a year.
Competent judges who have seen our new mill, tell us that it is one of
the most substantial, carefully constructed, and best planned mills in
this province.
We ourselves think it is the very best shingle mill in
B. C. ; and we know that it is equipped with all the very latest improved
Shingle Machinery.
Will the trade please note that our contract with the Pacific Coast
Lumber Co. closed on December 31, 1901.
Orders sent to us by letter or
telegraph shall have our best attention.
We want our share of your shingle business, and can guarantee
you satisfaction in every particular.

. Pollard Oak,
Anowtier Little Mill
There will be over a million feet of siwn lumber used in this one plant for
construction only ; over 30,000 lin. feet of piling, besides rock foundations
two car-loads of shingle machines only ; over 7 miles steam pipe 1 1-2 inch
and up in diameter. A summary of all the material that will be used in the
construction of this plant shows that there will be over 320 car-loads, or 21
trains of 15 car-loads each.
With all our past experience in the shingle business, of which we make a
specialty, and with all the latest and best improvements in machinery and
mill construction, we expect it to be the most complete and up-to-date mill in
North America, where shingles can be made better than in the ordinary mill
The above plant will be in Operation about the first of June, and although
this mill will have a daily (24 hours) capacity of 1,250,000 shingles, the
dealers and consumers need not be afraid of any particular surplus, but can
rest assured that there will be one firm on the coast manufacturing red cedar
shingles from whom they can get their wants supplied in a hurry with that
old reliable ‘Hastings Brand” so much talked about.
CUSTOMERS’ ATTENTION. — Please take notice that on the
1st day of January, 1902, all arrangements with the Pacific Coast Lumber Co.
of New Westminster, B. C., for the handling of any of our shingles
ended. Until further notice our authorized general agents will be Mr. Jas.
Twitchell, Clinton, Ont., for Ontario, and Mr. Samuel Ashfield of Winnipeg
Man , for Manitoba and the North-West ; therefore, orders for straight or
mixed cars sent through the above agents or direct to us will have equally
prompt and careful attention.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,
The conditions in the lumber trade are
almost the same as at Jast writing. Lum-
ber sells very readily and is sought after
by buyers. The movement during the
month of May was quite heavy, water
mills especially showing an increase in
business over the corresponding month
last year. Buyers for wholesale dealers
in the Eastern States are constantly trav-
elling through the white pine territories
in search of suitable stock. In the face of
such conditions prices are not likely to
weaken. In the Ottawa valley good pine
strips and sidings have been marked up
about $2 a thousand. While the price
lists of manufacturers do not show a gen-
eral advance, certain grades for which
there is an exceptionally good demand
are quoted at higher figures than one
month ago. Hemlock lumber and timber
is in strong demand and owing to the
limited supply an advance of about fifty
cents has been made. For 2 x 4 hemlock
in 12-foot lengths $10 is asked at the mill,
and for 1 x 13 inch and wider $11 is the
current quotation. For such small lots of
dry No. 1 lath as can be found $3 is will-
ingly paid, f.o.b. cars at the mill. Sales
of 32-inch lath have been made at $1.50
at the mill. The stock of dry hardwood
lumber is being steadily absorbed, although
prices have shown little disposition of late
to advance. On the other hand, the pros-
pects of a decline are considered very re-
mote, owing to the certainty of a light
production this season.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
A large quantity of the early cut of the
spruce mills has been contracted for. The
demand is improving and it would seem
that manufacturers are ina position to
advance prices for later shipments very
easily. Should the quantity of logs hung
up be as great as predicted, it will doubt-
less result in higher prices towards the
fall. Clapboards are very scarce and
bring $40 for best quality, Boston deliv-
ery. There is no perceptible weakening
of the cedar shingle market. Dealers are
experiencing much difficulty in filling or-
ders, nothwithstanding that as high as
$3.60 for extras on Boston rate of freight
has been offered in some instances. Laths
are also firm.
Reports from the Upper St. John river
state that 40,000,000 feet of logs are
hung up, Of this quantity 12,000,000
feet are for Cushing & Company and 13,-
000,000 feet for W. H. Murray. Crews
are being kept on hand in the hope that
the water may rise.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
The weather throughout Manitoba and
the Territories has not been favorable for
building operations, but still a large
quantity of lumber has gone into consump-
tion. The demand for the better grades
has caused another slight advance in
prices. British Columbia spruce lumber
has been marked up $1.50 per thousand
and is very scarce. Conditions in British
Columbia, while satisfactory from the
standpoint of demand, are not altogether
favorable to manufacturers. It is almost
impossible to secure labor for the mills-
and logging camps, and it is probable that
some of the mills will be compelled to close
down for this reason. While there is a
strong demand for Canadian shingles, it is
reported that the shingle market in Wash-
ington is somewhat depressed and that
several of the largest manufacture s have
decided to close down their mills in order
to sustain prices. The Puget Sound
Timbermen’s Association recently ad-
vanced the price of fir logs fifty cents per
thousand.
Vancouver mills have just figured on a
contract for 1,000,000 feet of lumber for
the building of twenty barges to be opera-
ed on the Yukon river.
UNITED STATES,
Reports from the Eastern States say
that the lumber market is somewhat quiet
on account of strikes and consequent
checking of building operations. In the
Lake Superior district and in Michigan
the situation seems to be fully as strong
as one week ago. A Bay City firm last
week purchased 12,000,000 feet of lumber
in the Georgian Bay at a reported consid-
eration of $18 for log run. Buyers gener-
ally are showing a disposition to purchase
at current prices whenever the desired
stock can be found. It is evident that the
supply of the upper grades of pine will be
inadequate to meet the demands. The
Wisconsin Valley Lumbermen's Associa-
tion have issued a new list making a sub-
stantial advance in the upper grades.
Two-inch dimension in all widths and
lengths was advanced 50 cents; 8 and 1o-
inch No. 1 rough and their products 50
cents and $1, according to length; rough
lumber, 13-inch and up wide, $1; and shop
lumber, selects and finishing $1.50 to
$2.50. Hardwoods continue to make a
gain. Basswood is scarce and higher, and
maple is firm, although the supply is com-
paratively large. There is some difference
in the prices of lath. Recently it has been
retailed in Buffalo and Tonawanda at
$4.25, but a correspondent states that
it is now selling as low as $3.75. As
lath prices have been abnormal, it
would not be surprising if lower prices
should rule.
GREAT BRITAIN.
A healthier tone pervades the British
timber market. The peace negotiations
have stimulated buying and restored in
some degree confidence to the trade,
Prices are being well sustained and in-
dications point to higher values in the near
future. Spruce deals have shown excep-
tional strength, 3x9 and 3x11 being very
scarce and wanted. There is a fair stock
stock in first hands of 3x9 of long average
width, but they are scant in thickness, It
is understood that shippers some time
ago refused £8 5s c.i.f. for such stocks
and are holding them for £9. Spruce
deals of the best quality have advanced
7s 6d a standard within the past three
months. Pine deals are meeting with
favor, but the stock of the poorer grades
has prevented any noticeable advance in
price. Red pine deals have not sold well
at recent auction sales, but they will no
doubt recover with the general market.

Lumber prices, as predicted, have ad-
vanced on account of the increased spring

weeks. The present prices are as follows :
Good pine sidings, 1% in. and 1% in.,

»> 11: purpose of this advertisement to try and convince the Lum-
a Trade of Canada that we are the only company in British Columbia
manufacturing and shipping shingles in large quantities, or that we ‘ know
it all.” We recognize that ‘‘there are others” and that we are not the
only ‘‘pebble on the beach.” To try and make you believe that we are the
only people who can supply you promptly and in large quantities with a
high-grade shingle would not only be a fish and a bear story combined,
but it would be gall of the bitterest kind.
Our competitors ir the shingle business in B. C. are nice people, and we
presume that they kn >w their business ; but we are nice people too, and as
we have been in the trade as long as any of them, and a great deal
longer than the most of them, we know that we know our business, and
that our competitors are not in the possession of any points of value regard-
ing the manufacture of shingles which has not come to our knowledge.
Our old mill was burned down in May last, and in its place we have built
what is at the present time the Largest Shingle Mill in B. C.
Our new Mill has 7 of the latest improved type of Dunbar machine,
which we run night and day—giving us a capacity of about 100 Million
a year.
Competent judges who have seen our new mill, tell us that it is one of
the most substantial, carefully eonstrueted, and best planned mills in
this province.
We ourselves think it is the very best shingle mill in
B. C. ; and we know that it is equipped with all the very latest improved
Shingle Machinery.

There will be over a million feet of sawn lumber used in this one plant for
construction only ; over 30,000 lin. feet of piling, besides rock foundations
two car-loads of shingle machines only ; over 7 miles steam pipe 1
and up in diameter.
{-2 inch
A summary of all the material that will be used in the
construction of this plant shows that there will be over 320 car-loads, or 21
trains of 15 car-loads each.
With all our past experience in the shingle business, of which we make a
specialty, and with all the latest and best improvements in machinery and
mill construction, we expect it to be the most complete and up-to-date mill in
North America, where shingles can be made better than in the ordinary mill
The above plant will be in operation about the first of June, and although
this mill will have a daily (24 hours) capacity of 1,250,000 shingles, the
dealers and consumers need not be afraid of any particular surplus, but can
rest aSsured that there will be one firm on the coast manufacturing red cedar
shingles from whom they can get their wants supplied in a hurry with that
old reliable ‘‘Hastings Brand” so much talked about.
CUSTOMERS’ ATTENTION. — Please take notice that on the
1st day of January, 1902, all arrangements with the Pacific Coast Lumber Co.
of New Westminster, B. C., for the handling of any of our shingles
ended. Until further notice our authorized general agents will be Mr. Jas.
Twitchell, Clinton, Ont., for Ontario, and Mr. Samuel Ashfield of Winnipe
Man , for Manitoba and the North-West : ; therefore, orders for straight or
mixed cars sent through the above agents or direct to us will have equally
prompt and careful attention.

LARGE TIMBER LIMIT PURCHASE.
Kilgour Shives, of Campbellton, N. B.,
is reported to have purchased from the
Muskoka Lumber Company, of Toronto,
all their Crown timber limits in the Prov-
inces of Quebec and New Brunswick,
amounting to about 100 square miles in
Quebee and 470 square miles in New
Brunswick. Mr. Shives formerly owned
387 square miles in these provinces, and
this purchase makes him the largest
holder of Crown lands in New Brunswick.
CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,
Varying opinions are expressed regard~
ing the lumber market. Manufacturers
are perfectly satisfied with the volume of
business, while dealers frequently express
some disappointment. Those who expect.
ed and depended upon a heavy local de-
mand have not witnessed a realization of
their anticipations, but it is probableth at
the activity in the lumber business for the
past year led them to expect too much.
In any case, retail dealers state that they
could handle a larger volume of trade
without increasing their facilities.
vast quantity of white pine that has been
bought for export has placed manufactur-
ers in a position somewhat independent of
local trade so far as the better grades are
concerned, but they must still look to the
home market to consume a large propor-
tion of the lower quality. Almost évery
pine manufacturer has sold all the lumber
that he can manufacture within the next
sixty days, and several have contracted
for their entire output. So long as the de-
mand from the United States continues in
its present volume, there is not likely to be
a perceptible weakening of prices. Dry
hardwood stocks are low. The necessity
of providing piling ground for the new cut
has resulted in forced sales at lower prices
in one or two cases, but the market gener-
ally is strong and likely to advance as the
light production of this year becomes more
generally recognized. Buyers are in the
market for shingles of all kinds and those
having a stock in shipping condition can
realize very readily. Hemlock is being
bought as vigorously as ever, in some
cases as a substitute for white pine.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The. improvement in the demand for
spruce lumber has been encouraging to
manufacturers and shippers. It has been
difficult to convince buyers in Great Brit-
ain that the quantity of stock available for
that market this year will be compara-
tively small, but the recent advance in
prices seems to indicate a recognition, at
last, of the conditions existing in the east-
ern provinces. The log supply is still un-
certain. One week ago it was re-
ported that 30,000,000 feet of logs
were hung up on the St. John
Since that time some rain has
fallen, which has improved the prospects
of getting the logs to the mills, but even if
the log supply is sufficient for afullseason’s
operations, there will not be an abnormal
quantity manufactured for the British mar-
ket, as the Eastern States is taking spruce
clapboards and other lumber very freely,
river.
and considerable shipments are being
made to the West Indies, South America
and other countries. Manufacturers re-
port many inquiries for stock and expect
to have no difficuty in disposing of their
output. Waney pine timber is strong.
Sales have been made at Quebec at 56
cents per cubic foot for best quality.

UNITED STATES.
The demand for lumber during the past
week has been a little slow, partly on
account of the strike of coal miners.
Prices, however, have been easily sustain-
ed, as there has been the usual amount of
buying by wholesale houses. It is this
buying rather than the actual retail trade
that is sustaining prices. The time is near
at hand for prices to yield as the result of
the marketing of new stock, but as yet
there are no indications of any price reces-
sions in white pine unless it might be in
ordinary short piece stuff. The purchase
is reported of a large quantity of Norway
log run at $15 at Duluth. This is a high
price and in line with recent sales. The
buying of manufacturers and railroad
companies was a feature of the month of
May. The outlook for crops is good, and

scarcity cannot be relieved for some time.
Spruce lath meets with a quick sale, the
price at Boston being $3.25 for 15¢ inch.
Extra cedar shingles are selling between
$3.50 and $3.60, with the more important
manufacturers holding for the latter price.
Shingles are moving steadily. At Buffalo

is impossible for dealers to secure a

GREAT BRITAIN.
The declaration of peace 1s expected to
have an important and reassuring effect
upon the timber market. There is much
speculation as to the volume of shipments
that will be made to South Africa, but
the concensus of opinion seems to be that
a brisk revival of trade cannot be expect-
ed for a year or two.

improvement in business, as it is known
that several orders were placed for exe-
cution upon the termination of the war.
It is thought the cessation of the war will
materially assist in bringing about higher
prices. The first arrivals from the St.
Lawrence are reported to have met with a
ready demand, as the stock of the stand-
ard sizes of pine and spruce deals had be-
come hmited. First quality pine is par-
ticularly wanted, as the stock in the yards
is practically nil. The prospects for spruce
are good. Importers are meeting the
shippers more willingly and apparently do
not expect that lower prices will rule this

‘The past winter the Miramichi was the
scene of very extensive operations and the
cut aggregates 125,000,000 feet. The
Snowball Lumber Company at Chatham
are extensive operators and their cut
reaches a large figure. Wm. Richards &

lasstown, is also a large lumber operator.
Allan Ritchie, at Newcastle, manufactures
about 10,000,000 feet annually. Burchill
& Sons manufacture about 10,000,000 feet
at Nelson. On the Richibucto lumbering
operations have been light,but on the Res-

SN
BRITISH COLUMBIA SHINGLES.
Editor Canapa LUMBERMAN:
Dear Sik:—Referring to your issue of
the*‘CANADA LUMBERMAN” of June, would
say that on page 7 in the article on Shingle
Conditions in British Columbia, in the para-
graph near the end of the article, the fol-
lowing statement is made:
“Notwithstanding the increased cost of
lumber, prices on red cedar shingles are
15c. per thousand lower in Ontario than
they were last year."
I beg to call yourattention to the fact that
while B,C. shingles were 15c. lower at
the beginning ofthis season than they were
at the close of Jast season, the price was,
on April ist, advanced to $2.90, which is
the highest price they were sold at last
year, and they are at present 15c. high-
erthan they were for the corresponding
month last year.
Yours truly,
ONE INTERESTED.
BRITISH COLUMBIA CONDITIONS.
There is still a great scarcity of logs
in British Columbia, both cedar and fir,
and although there are numerous booms
on their way from up the coast, the mills
will not be adequately supplied. Mr. Me-
Nair, the biggest operator at Vancouver,
is said to have offered $11 a thousand for
logs.
A point in connection with the taking
of timber limits which is unique in the his-
tory of the province has just been raised
and has been referred to the Commission-
er of Lands and Works for a decision. A
man operating under a hand loggers’ li-
cense on the coast recently found that the
limits on which he was working had been
staked by another party and an applica-
tion for the right to cut timber on the
lands: forwarded to the Department of
Lands and Works at Victoria. The hand
logger says that for the past seven years
he has been operating under a hand log-
gers’ license. Sucha license allows the
holder to move his camp from time to
time, as circumstances dictate, and the
license holder has not been required to
stake the limits on which he has worked.
The question now raised by the hand log-
ger is whether any person has the legal
right to stake upon the land which he is
working under his license.

Special permits that have been granted
to cut and carry away timber on Crown
lands of the province have a new condition
added tothem. The latest permits issued
contain a clause reading as follows: ‘*This
permit is granted on the special condition
that no Chinese or Japanese shall be em-
ployed in working the said limits mention-
ed in this permit."’ All permits are issued
from Victoria, the capital of British
Columbia, but applications are received
through the Vancouver office. For the

The
principal effect of the new condition will
have included this ominous clause.
be that permits taken out trom now on
will prevent Japanese and Chinese work-
ing in shingle bolt camps. This will be
another serious set-back for the shingle
mills, who are compelled to employ Japs
owing to the scarcity of white labor.

There will be over a million feet of sawn lumber used in this one plant for
construction only ; over 30,000 lin. feet of piling, besides rock foundations ;
two car-loads of shingle machines only ; over 7 miles steam pipe 1 1-2 inch
A summary of all the material that will be used in the
construction of this plant shows that there will be over 320 car-loads, or 21
trains of 15 car-loads each.
With all our past experience in the shingle business, of which we make a
specialty, and with all the latest and best improvements in machinery and
mill construction, we expect it to be the most complete and up-to-date mill in
North America, where shingles can be made better than in the ordinary mill.
The above plant will be in operation about the first of June, and although
this mill will have a daily (24 hours)
capacity of 1,250,000 shingles, the
dealers and consumers need not be afraid of any particular surplus, but can
rest assured that there will be one firm on the coast manufacturing red cedar
shingles from whom they can get their wants supplied in a hurry with that
old reliable ‘‘Hastings Brand” so much talked about.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,
Some dissatisfaction is expressed with
the volume of business in Western Ontario,
but on the whole the demand for lumber
is heavy, as any falling off in the local
trade is offset by increased shipments to
the Eastern States. It is understood that
Ottawa dealers ave receiving orders for
lumber faster than they can be filled. The
new cut, however, will relieve the scarcity
in certain grades that has prevailed for
some time. Prices for the new stock, as
furnished by the manufacturers’ lists, are
only siightly changed from the recent sell-
ing prices of the old stock.
cases a slight advance is being asked.
One or two manufacturers are shading
the price of certain lines which are not
at any time very marketable, preferring
to clear off the old stock at a sacrifice
rather than carry it over and probably be
obliged to re-pile it. For inch mill cull
sidings $11 is asked at the mill, with one
dollar more for the 10 and 12-inch stock.
Inch dead Cull sidings are offered at $6.50,
and 1% inch at $7. Box and common
ranges from $15 to $16, the latter for 1x12
inch in 14 and 16 feet lengths. Hemlock
lumber, which has been in large demand
In a few
for some time, isa little quieter, with a
slight weakening in prices. It is expected
that this will be only temporary ; 1n fact,
some of the largest dealers in this class of
timber contend that prices are as strong
as ever. Hardwoods are unchanged,
with prices steady. For inch mill run
birch $16 at the mill is being asked.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The prices realized at the Government
sale of timber limits last week show that
lumbermen anticipate still higher prices
for spruce timber, whether it is manufac-
tured into pulp wood or into deals and
other lumber. The present outlook is
towards a gradual adyance in the price of
spruce stocks, this being evidenced by the
number of buyers that are prepared to
contract for mill cuts. A few shipments of
clapboards are being made to the Eastern
States, but the supply of dry stock is al-
most exhausted. Cedar shingles continue
firm on the basis of $3.50 for extras, Bos-
ton delivery.
Waney pine timber leads all other classes
in point of strength. British buyers ap-
parently realize that no large supply is
obtainable and that Canadian lumbermen
prefer to manufacture their logs into lum-
ber rather than into board timber. The
wintering stock of waney pine at Quebec
last spring was only 361,488 cubic feet,
as compared with 506,001 feet the previous
year and 1,324,384 feet as the average
stock for the past five years.
From New Brunswick comes the report
that satisfactory progress is being made
with the drives, although Stetson, Cutler
& Company have 4,000,000 teet of logs
hung up on the St. John river.
UNITED STATES.
Less activity is reported in the move-
ment of white pine lumber for building
purposes. In the New England States
the teamsters’ strikes in all the larger
cities have interfered with business. West
of the Mississippi river, however, there
has been heavy buying by dealers in an-
ticipation of a heavy trade as soon as the
farmers enter the market, as the wheat
production promises to be large. Prices
of pine lumber are unchanged, though
there is talk of an advance by wholesalers
in everything from No. 2 up. Failing to
secure lower prices from the producers,
dealers are appacently endeavoring to
advance their selling prices to a point
which will give a fair margin of profit.
Box lumber is showing less strength than
the other grades, as the supply is more in
keeping with the demand. There is still
a scarcity of the better grades, especially
cutting up lumber. At Buffalo mill culls are
selling at $15, 1x12 No. 1 barn at $30,
and inch No. 1 cuts at $40.
Hardwoods are showing exceptional
strength. Large quantities of hardwood
lumber are finding a market in the west,
thus placing manufacturers less dependent
on the eastern trade. Michigan firms are
asking $14 to $14.50 for maple, $20 for
long run basswood, and $25 for black ash
that will not run more than 25 to 3o per
cent. firsts and seconds. By many in the
trade a material advance in the price of
birch lumber is predicted. It is being
bought heavily by furniture manufacturers.
Eastern shingles are strong and selling
more briskly than at any other time since
Il.
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
the building season opened. The supply
is not equal to the demand. While reports
come from the Pacific coast that red cedar
shingle prices are uncertain, dealers at
Buffalo and Tonawanda are finding no
difficulty in obtaining $4 for Perfections.
No. 1 pine lath are scarce and selling at
$4 wholesale in the Eastern States. Al-
though the mills are produ ting lath, they
are moving off as fast as manufactured.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The British timber market has made a
showing of strength during the past week.
The trade is coming to the opinion that
lumber will be dearer after the summer,
when the limitation of the production
shows itself. The demand is steadily ex-
panding, and but for the supply of low
grade stock, a sharp advance in prices
would probably take place. Stocks in
first hands are almost entirely cleared
out. High figures have been paid for
broad first quality pine deals, of which
the supply is especially light. Quotations
range from £31 12s to £34 7s, which is an
advance upon the prices of one month
ago. Broad second quality pine deals
bring about £22, third quality £14, and
fourth quality £11. Spruce deals con-
tinue in good request, especially 7 and 8-
inch, which range from £6 10s to £7 10s
per standard. While transactions in red
pine have been limited, contracts have
been closed at £10 108 c. i. f. Glasgow
for 9 and 11 inches, and the prospect for
this class of lumber is somewhat. better.
At recent auction sales slating battens
have shown improvement, while plas-
terers’ laths sold at the same prices as
for some time past. The market for
waney pine timber is strong. It is re-
ported that sales have been made at 38 3d
per cubic foot c. i. f. London, the higher
prices being due in part to the smaller
wintering stock at Quebec. Sales of
Square timber have been made at 2s 8d
c. i, f. London, with a rather light inquiry
except for the larger dimensions.

Joseph Dobson held an auction sale of
timber at Hull on May zgth, at which the
following prices were obtained for spruce :
9-16 ft. 3x11 in. Quebec, unassorted, £8 7s
6d ; 11-14 ft. 2x11 in. £8 7s 6d ; 9-16 ft.

A quick drive has just been completed
on the St. Marguerite river, Province of
Quebec, by Price Bros, & Company, who
made 100,000 spruce logs at St. Cathar-
ines Bay. Within four days the entire
quantity was safely landed in the boom at
the mouth of the river. On two occasions,
in the course of three hours each, 20,000
logs came into the boom.
Munro & Company's first raft of timber
reached Ottawa last week. It contained

feet of square timber last winter. They
shipped 150,000 feet by the C.P.R. from
points west of Sudbury and are shipping
200,000 féet by boat from Sault Ste. Marie.
The saw logs that were taken out, ro,-
000,000 feet, were sold to the Moulthrop
Lumber Company and will be manufac-
tured at John’s Island.
Messrs. S P. Musson, Son & Company,
under date of May 24th, say of the Barba-
does lumber market : ‘‘There have been
no arrivals of either white pine or spruce
during the fortnight, but a small cargo of
40,000 feet shipping and 60,000 feet
second quality white pine, offered to
arrive shortly, was placed at $25.50 and
$20.50 ; a cargo has also been contracted
for at $25 and $20 for shipping and second
quality respectively, delivered terms. In
spruce we can only repeat our last ad-
vices and valuation of $18 to $19. There
have hzve been no arrivals of shingles,
and we maintain our valuation of Long
Gaspe. A lot of 500,000 feet of Laying
Cedar, second clears, is on the way by
steamer for a dealer ”
A report from Chicago says: The scarc-
ity of lumber all over the country is con-
fined largely to No. 1 common and better.
Dry piece stuff is almost phenomenally ’
scarce, and in a few items, as in 2xr2s
and 3x12s, it is found that the scarcity
is verging ona famine. Prices on 2x12s
range from $21 for 14, 16 and 18-foot to
$22 and $21.50 for 12 and 20-foot respec-
tively. In joists 3x12—12s are quoted at
$23, 14s at $22, 16s at $21, 18s at $22 and
20s at $22.50. In 12-inch boards the same
preference is shown, No. 1, 10 and 12 feet
long, selling at $26; No. 2, 10 to 16 feet
long, selling at $22 to $23 and No. 3 at
$17.50. No. 1 4-inch fencing sells at from
$18 to $21.50 according to length and No.
1 6-inch fencing at from $20 to $24.50 ac-
cording to length. No. 1 hemlock piece
stuff is selling from the yards at $13.50 for
2x4s and 2x10s and $14.50 to $15 for
2x12s.

Anowner Little Mill:
There will be over a million feet of sawn lumber used in this one plant for
construction only ; over 30,000 lin. feet of piling, besides rock foundations ;
two car-loads of shingle machines only ; over 7 miles steam pipe 1 1-2 inch
and up in diameter. A summary of all the material that will be used in the
construction of this plant shows that there will be over 320 car-loads, or 21
SPRHALASSLS SOLE
trains of 15 car-loads each.
With all our past experience in the shingle business, of which we make a
specialty, and with all the latest and best improvements in machinery and
mill construction, we expect it to be the most complete and up-to-date mill in
North America, where shingles can be made better than in the ordinary mill.
The above plant will be in operation about the first of June, and although
this mill will have a daily (24 hours) capacity of 1,250,000 shingles, the
dealers and consumers need not be afraid of any particular surplus, but can
rest assured that there will be one firm on the coast manufacturing red cedar
shingles from whom they can get their wants supplied in a hurry with that
old reliable ‘‘Hastings Brand” so much talked about.
CUSTOMERS’ ATTENTION. — Please take notice that on the
1st day of January, 1902, all arrangements with the Pacific Coast Lumber Co.
of New Westminster, B. C., for the handling of any of our shingles
ended. Until further notice our authorized general agents will be Mr. Jas.
Twitchell, Clinton, Ont., for Ontario, and Mr. Samuel Ashfield, of Winnipeg,
Man., for Manitoba and the North-West ; therefore, orders for straight or
mixed cars sent through the above agents or direct to us will have equally
prompt and careful attention.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The lumber market is decidedly firm.
Whlle it may be that prices of white pine
jumber have reached their height, there
are no indications of an early decline, and
if the outlook for crops should continue
good, there seems little doubt as to the
maintenance of present values for some
time to come. It would not be strange,
however, if temporary weakness should
develop during the summer season, to be
followed by a strong market during the
fall months. The yard dealers of Saginaw
and Bay City are still in the market for
stock whenever they can find anything
which meets their requirements. Evidently
they can purchase to advantage on this
side of the border even in the face ofa
two-dollar duty. Log runis held at $17
to $19 at the mills on the Georgian Bay,
and mill culls range from $9 to $10, Some
inquiries have been received from Great
Britain for red pine, the production of
which last winter was very light. A
revival of the demand for this timber
might possibly result in a sharp advance
in price. The manufacturers of hardwood
“lumber are making no concessions in the
matter of price, but on the other hand
there is a disposition to advance certain
grades. The buying of hardwoods by
furniture manufacturers and other con-
sumers is quite active, and it would not be
surprising to witness higher prices in the
near future.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,
Prices of spruce lumber haye shown
wider fluctuations during the past week
than for some time. Recent rains have
so far improved driving conditions that
there is a good prospect of a sufficient
quantity of logs reaching the mills to
permit of continuous sawing throughout
the season. This, coupled with unfavor-
able reports as to the markets of the
Eastern States, has caused one or two

to this is clapboards, which are in short
supply and firm. There are no signs,
however, of a general break in prices,
as the largest manufacturers are more
inclined to advance quotations than re-
duce them. Cedar shingles are still sell-
ing on the basis of $3.50 for extras,
Boston delivery. The strength of waney
pine and birch is a feature of the timber
market. At Quebec the quotations range
from 18 cents per cubic foot for 14-inch
average to 30 cents for 18-inch average.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,
The demand for lumber throughout
Manitoba and the Territories is quite in-
sistent. A heavy yield of wheat is prom-
ised, and another year of prosperity is
looked for. A large quantity of lumber is
being consumed in building operations,
and manufacturers are finding difficulty
in keeping up with their orders. Com-
plaint is heard that British Columbia
shingles cannot be had fast enough to
supply the demand. Maple flooring has
been advanced $2 per thousand at Winni-
peg, making the present price $47. White-
wood is also $2 higher at $53. The activ-
ity of the lumber and shingle business of
British Columbia continues. Railroads
are being built in order to increase the
available supply of logs. The
concerns are working more in harmony
with each other than usual,
lumber
UNITED STATES.
The strike of the coal miners has had a
depressing effect upon the lumber demand
in the Eastern States. Retailers are plac-
ing orders for small lots only, declining to
enter into contract for future requirements
until business becomes more settled. A
report comes from Philadelphia that prices
are a little weak, hemlock, for instance,
selling on the basis of $15 to $15.50. Con-
trary advice is to hand, however, from
Buffalo and Tonawanda, inch
cutting-up stock has been advanced to
$42, 12-inch No. 1 barn to $30, 10-inch
No. 2 to $24, and 12-inch No. 2 to $26.
It is said that the demand at these points
is more uniform than it usually is.

tinuation of an active demand until the end
of the year. The strength of piece stuff
is a feature of the market. Hardwood

particular is scarce. The Buffalo list this

that this lumber should on its merits sell
somewhat higher. White pine shingles
are a little off on account of weakness in
the quotations for red cedar shingles. The
demand at the present time is chiefly for
18-inch. Some 32-inch lath has been
offered at Buffalo at $2, and it is said that
it has been well received.
GREAT BRITAIN.

wood goods during the past fortnight
shows a considerable expansion, and
points to the early recovery of that mar-

Coronation purposes has made
upon the London stocks, which are now
generally lessthan at the corresponding
period last year. The stock of red and
white pine is a little heavier, but the de-
crease in the stock of rough boards is
1,314,000 pieces and of prepared boards
4,180,000 pieces. The stock of oak and
elm timber is considerably less, but ash
is held in larger supply. The Liverpool
stock makes a somewhat similar showing,
with a decrease in New Brunswick spruce
and pine deals, square and waney
timber, birch logs and planks and oak
timber. Quebec pine deals are in slightly
heavier supply, but it is understood that
the stock is chiefly low grade. Canadian
oak is in brisk request and promises to
advance in price. There has also been
heavy buying of rock elm, the supply of
which has become almost exhausted. The
quotations for that timber are 2s 9d to gs
3d per cubic foot. Quebec birch is held
at 1s 6d to 2s and birch planks at rod to
11d per cubic foot.
Canadian timber is apparently proving
satisfactory for paving purposes. The
city of Cardiff has used Canadian wood
extensively for street paving, and it is
learned that the Corporation of Gravesend
has accepted a tender for the supply
of 7,000 yards of spruce blocks at 11s 4d
per yard, including the laying.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
The steamer Bengor Head sailed from
Miramichi, N. B., last week for Belfast,
with deals.
About 4,000,000 feet of deals were tow-
ed from Gibson to St. John, N. B., last
week for shipment to England.
The steamer Whitefield has just sailed
from Yarmouth, N.S., for West Hartle-
pool, England, with a cargo of deals.
Twenty thousand shingles, owned by
Nathan Eaton, of Canning, N. S., were
carried to sea by a high tide last week.
The ship Rouce arrived at Sydney, Aus.,
last week from the Hastings mill, Van-
couver, with a cargo of 1,251,030 feet of
lumber.
The ship J. D. Everett sailed last week
from the Hastings mill, Vancouver, B. C.,
for Cork, Ireland, with a cargo of lumber.
The Standard Lumber Company, of
Buffalo, have recently bought a consider-
able quantity of birch lumber in Ontario,
Up to June 1 of this year receipts of
lumber at Buffalo were 41,000,000 feet,
compared with 12,000,000 feet for same
period last year.
Recent rains have greatly assisted log
driving in New Brunswick. All the logs
for the Mispec pulp mill at St. John are
expected to reach the mill.
R. A. Brown is driving 4,000,000 feet of
logs down the north fork of Kettle river,
in British Columbia. The logs will be
sawn by Lequime & Powers, of Grand
Forks.
During a storm on June roth a raft of
86 cribs of square timber belonging to
Munro & Co., of Pembroke, went to pieces
at Britannia. Several days were required
to put the raft together again.
In the Saginaw valley white pine shingles
are quoted at $4.05 for 4 x 18-inch stock,
and $3 for clear butts. For 16-inch stock
$3.05 and $2.45 are the quotations.
Eighteen-inch cedar shingles are selling
at $3.90 for XXXX and $2.90 for clear
butts.
The Central Lumber Company, of Sag-
inaw, Mich., has just received a raft of
5,000,000 logs from Parry Sound, This
is the only raft of Ontario logs that will
cross the lake this season, the logs being
cut from deeded lands,
By the breaking of a boom at Han-
bury’s saw mills at Brandon, Man., a
large number of logs were swept away.
It is reported that it is proposed to inter-

ture them there.
THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the Canada Lumberman).
The lumber business this month in Otta-
Wa presents a series of contradictions.
While some shippers report dullness in
trade, others express inability to keep up
with the orders. The strikes across the
line have had a reflex action on the local
market, business with the States of Con-
necticut, New York and Massachusetts
suffering to the greatest extent. However,
there's ‘‘something doing” in a superlative
degree and prospects are such as,to keep
everyone in good spirits.
A careful scrutiny of the Ottawa market
quotations made by a couple of leading
operators failed to establish any change.
The first of this year’s cut in the shape of
lath is on the market, and no trouble is
experienced placing it in the hands of out-
side parties looking to Ottawa for their
supply. None of the lumber, however,
will be ready for some weeks. Continued
rains have kept the stock on the piles wet
and heavy, whereas with bright, breezy
weather it would have been ready for
transportation. A shortage is reported
in the supply of factory lumber, short ends
used principally in the sash and door busi-
ness. Dealers are averse to paying the
rather fancy price asked for this line of
stock. The presence of this season’s cut
of lath has relieved the stringency felt a
month ago in this quarter.
The Ottawa Transporation Company's
fleet of barges is busily employed moving
seasoned stock from the Chaudiere mill
yards. It is stated, however, that this
branch of the transportation business is not
as brisk as it was in former years, owing
to the increased attention paid to it by the
railways. Through rates are now given
from Ottawa to Boston, New York, Que-
bec and other seaport points, which makes
it more advantageous to ship by rail than
it was a few years ago. Considerable
r
lumber was also shipped by American
barges trom Ottawa last week, but owing
to the coal strike few of these boats have
reached the local port this season.
A well known river man stated yester-
day that the drives are a month in advance
of those of former years. The continued
rains kept the creeks high and made the
“running” comparatively easy work. For
the past month the Ottawa river below the
city has been full of logs of last year's out-
put. This year’s cut of logs will soon be
replacing them in large numbers. River-
men are arriving daily by scorces and the
Lower town hotels are humming with
life.
Last week the W. C. Edwards Company
was fined for piling lumber within the area
forbidden by the city by-law. The case was
taken up on complaint of residents in the
neighborhood. The lumber was piled ina
railway yard leased for the purpose.
The towering burner at the Booth mill
at the Chaudiere has been completed. It
is one of the largest in the district, and
will be utilized to consume the sawdust,
the presence of which in the river created
considerable dissatisfaction.

THE LIVERPOOL MARKET.
In their last report, Messrs. Farnworth
& Jardine review the Liverpool market as
follows:
The arrivals from British North America
during the past month have been 18,587
tons register, against 12,605 tons register
during the corresponding month last year,
and the aggregate tonnage to this date
from all places during the years 1900,
1901, and 1902 has been 119,4€4,117,416,
and 137,121 tons respectively.
The business during the past month has
on the whole been of a satisfactory char-
acter, the deliveries have realized expect-
ation, and values have been well maintain-
ed; stocks, with the exception of pitch
pine, are within a moderate compass.
CANADIAN Woops. — Pine Timber —
There have been no importations of either
waney Or Square pine during the past
month, the consumption has been small,
but the stock is very light; values are firm.
RED PiNeE.—There has been little enquiry;
stocks are small. Oak has not been im-
ported during the past month; there has
been a fair enquiry for 1st class wood,
the stock of which is now considerably re-
duced, and prices are firm. ELM.—Rock
elm is in fair demand; the stock of this
wood is moderate. Asu is in limited de-
mand, and the stock is sufficient. QUEBEC
Pine DEALS have arrived freely, con-
sumption has been satisfactory, but stocks
are still too large; values remain practic-
ally unchanged. Rep Prine DEALs are

amounting to 8,870 standards, is consider-
ably in excess of the quantity imported
during the corresponding month last year.

maintained. Pine DEALS continue in fair
request, stocks are moderate; prices firm.

_ CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION — : June 18, 1902 A
THE BOSTON MARKET.
Spruce lumber is in a little better de-
mand at Boston, with decidedly more
orders within the past two or three days;
Ten and 12 inch dimensions, $20 to $22; 9-
inch and under, $19 to $20; 10 and 12 inch,
random lengths, 10 feet and up, $20.50;
2X3, 2X4, 2x5, 2x6, 2x7, and 3x4, 10 feet
and up, $17.50; all other randoms, 9-inch
and under, 10 feet and up, $18.50; 5-inch
and up, merchantable boards, $17; match-
ed boards, $19 to $20; out spruce boards,
$13.50 to $14; bundle furring, $17 to $18.
Hemlock is very firm, with the offerings
small: Boards, 12, 14 and 16 feet stock,
$15 to $15.50 tor good eastern; random
eastern, $14 to $14.50; Pennsylvania, No.
1, $16 to $17.50; No. 2, $15 to $15.50.
Western pine is very firm indeed, with
the mills demanding still higher prices:
Uppers, 1-in., $75 to $80; 24% and 3 in.
$80 to $85; 4-in. $85 to $88; selects, 1 to
1% in. $68; 2-in. $69 to $70; 24% to g in.
$74 to $76; 4-in. $79 to $80; fine common,
1-in. $60 to $63; 1% to 1% in. $64 to $66;
2-in. $68 to $70; 2% and 3 in. $69 to $71;
4-in. $80; barn boards, $23 to $33; coffin
boards, $27 to $32.
In hardwood lumber the demand is very
fair, with the tendency decidedly strong.
Lots of desirable stock are quickly taken
up: Quartered oak, $64 to $66; plain oak,
$41 to $45; common and rejects, $20 to
$25; whitewood, $42 to $43; sap and
common, $30 to $35; brown ash, $41 to
$44; white ash, $43 to $46; maple,
$28 to $30; end-dried white maple, $38 to
$42; birch, $27 to $30; birch, 75 per
cent. red, $45 to $50; elm, $29 to $31.
Shingles are very firm, with the demand
better than anticipated. It looks as
though the market might be higher from
the fact that manufacturers are full of
orders: Extra cedar to arrive, June and
July, $3.50 to $3.60; clear, $3; second
clear, $2.50; extra No. 1, $1.90 to $2;
British Columbia red cedar, 16-inch, five
butts to 2 inches, $3.75 to $3.80; 18-inch,
$4.25 to $4.50.
Clapboards are in a remarkably strong
position, with but few offering. They
have been sold as high as $40 for extra
spruce. The last sales of pine were at
$55, and they would bring even up to $60
now, if there were any: Clear, $36 to
$38; second clear, $32' to $35; extra
No, 1, $24 to 26,
Laths continue very firm at $3.20 to
$3.30 for 15£-inch ; 1y-inch $3,

two car-loads of shingle machines only ; over 7 miles steam pipe 1
and up in diameter. A summary of all the material that will be used in the
construction of this plant shows that there will be over 320 car-loads, or 21
trains of 15 car-loads each.
With all our past experience in the shingle business, of which we make a
specialty, and with all the latest and best improvements in machinery and
mill construction, we expect it to be the most complete and up-to-date mill in
North America, where shingles can be made better than in the ordinary mill.
The above plant will be in operation about the first of June, and although
this mill will have a daily (24 hours) capacity of 1,250,000 shingles, the
dealers and consumers need not be afraid of any particular surplus, but can
rest assured that there will be one firm on the coast manufacturing red cedar
shingles from whom they can get their wants supplied in a hurry with that
old reliable ‘‘Hastings Brand’ so much talked about.
CUSTOMERS’ ATTENTION. — Please take notice that on the
1st day of January, 1902, all arrangements with the Pacific Coast Lumber Co.
of New Westminster, B. C., for the handling of any of our shingles
ended. Until further notice our authorized general agents will be Mr. Jas.
Twitchell, Clinton, Ont., for Ontario, and Mr. Samuel Ashfield, of Winnipeg,
Man., for Manitoba and the North-West ; therefore, orders for straight or
mixed cars sent through the above agents or direct to us will have equally
HHS
prompt and careful attention.

The cut this year will be unusually light,
and it is probable that a scarcity of cer—
tain kinds will be encountered in the fall.
Large shipments of birch have been made
to the Eastern States, for which satisfac-
tory prices were received. Shingles
are in brisk demand, although the new
production has had a weakening influence
on prices. In Toronto XXX white pine,
16-inch, are selling at $3.50, and cedar
shingles at $2.75. The scarcity which
has preyailed for some time in the supply
of the standard sizes of lath has brought
32-inch lath into some prominence. These
are now being held by mill men at $1.40
to $1.50, whereas last year the quotation
was $1.00.

The volume of the spruce lumber busi-
ness this season has been quite up to the
average, although smaller shipments have
been made to Great Britain. The East-

America, and it is expected that the ex-

It was expected that by midsummer the
white pine mills in the Lake Superior dis-

Spruce lath
GREAT BRITAIN.
The outlook for lumber in Great Britain
is steadily improving. Prices are higher
than they were one year ago, while the
Board of Trade returns show that for the
five months ending May 31st the import of
sawn lumber was about 200,000 loads less
than in the corresponding period last year.
In view of these conditions, lumber is
_ likely to seek a higher price level before
the end of the year. <A favorable feature
is the information received from Sweden
that the log production last winter was
Over 600,000,000 feet less thaa during the
previous wintér. Baltic shippers believe
that the turning point has been reached,
and in some cases they have withdrawn
their stocks from the market. According
to the dock returns the consumption in
London has been especially lively, the last
week under review showing an increase
of some 1000 standards o° deals, battens
and flooring. The c.i.f. market for spruce
is distinctly firmer. Of the Quebec tim-
ber which has reached Liverpool deliveries
have been on a very satisfactory scale,
large quantities having been sent direct
into consumption ex quay. The demand
for lumber for shipment to South Africa
has as yet been of small volume, but it is
believed that eventually an extensive mar-
ket will be developed there.

At Buffalo there is some stir in slack
cooperage stock on account of the promise
of a good apple crop, while the flour
barrel trade is better than it usually 1s.
Hoops are scarce and the price promises
to be higher before long. Elm staves are
stronger. Coiled hoops are quoted at
$9.50 to $10.00 for 6-foot and $9 to $9.50
5%4-foot. Elm flour barrel staves bring
$7-75 to $8 for first-class and $4.25 to
$4.50 for second-class. Basswood head-
ing is unchanged at 5% cents for first-
class and 334 cents for second-class.
White cedar shingles are selling in
Chicago at $2.75 to $2.80 by water and

The stock of prime rock elm is
exhausted, and fresh wood is wanted.
Arrivals of birch logs have been liberal
and the consumption fair. Planks are
still excessively stocked, and no improve-

market is over-stecked with lower grades

sales of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia

reported. The market is firm and stocks
moderate, standard sizes being very

Cerning the Barbadoes market
Messrs. S.P. Musson,Son & Company say:
“‘The only arrival to note in lumber is the
“Ophelia,” from Shelburne, N.S., on the
2nd inst., with 114,000 feet of white pine,
which was placed at $26.22 for shipping
and about $20.70 for second quality. In
spruce no arrival has taken place, but we
have sold a cargo on c.i.f. terms,
for shipment this month. The conclusion
of the war in South Africa may result
in the abandonment of work for Boer
prisoners, in which case there will, no
doubt, be an almost total cessation of
demand for all kinds of lumber. The only
receipts of shingles are a lot of Laying
Cedar, 500,000, by the “Bratsburg,” in
fulfilment of contract ; 12,000 Long
Gaspe, which have been sold at $4.95,
and 50,000 dimension, which brought $4.55

WHITE PINE IN LAKE SUPERIOR
DISTRICT.
Reviewing the lumber situation on the
upper lakes the Mississippi Valley Lumter-
man says:
“‘The past week has seen an increase
in the demand for white pine lumber and
if the succeeding weeks show like gains
a substantial volume of business will char-
acterize the July market. All the manu-
facturers report that the
inquiries has grown greatly, doubtless
caused by the curtailed stocks in retail
hands and the knowledge that lumber is
becoming more plentiful on this market.
The present demand is of normal propor-
tions, but a shortage in many items
prevents its total volume being shown in
the local shipments. Crop conditions
in the country are most promising and
Visiting retailers on this market in most
cases predict a large trade. The last
government summary of crop conditions
States that corn has made rapid growth
and in most sections a good crop is
promised, Winter wheat has made gener-
ally favorable progress. Spring wheat
has been damaged in flooded valleys of
Iowa, but in the dry portions of the state
and through the rest of the wheat region,
is in excellent shape. The oat crop has
advanced favorably and with the excep.
tion of a few localities, promises good re-
turns.
“With the current normal demand ‘and
the excellent prospects for a large trade
the remainder of the year, added to the
short stocks, it is not surprising that white
pine prices should remain firm with no
prospects for a decline soon. Not
even rumors of concessions have been
heard of, which in itself would indicate

trains of 15 car-loads each.
There will be over a million feet of sawn lumber used in this one plant for
construction only ; over 30,000 lin. feet of piling, besides rock foundations
two car-loads of shingle machines only ; over 7 miles steam pipe 1
A summary of all the material that will be used in the
construction of this plant shows that there will be over 320 car-loads, or 21
With all our past experience in the shingle business, of which we make a
1-2 inch
specialty, and with all the latest and best improvements in machinery and
mill construction, we expect it to be the most complete and up-to-date mill in
North America, where shingles can be made better than in the ordinary mill
The above plant will be in operation about the first of June, and although
this mill will have a daily (24 hours) capacity of 1,250,000 ‘shingles, the
dealers and consumers need not be afraid of any particular surplus, but can
rest assured that there will be one firm on the coast manufacturing red cedar
shingles from whom they can get their wants supplied in a hurry with that
old reliable ‘‘Hastings Brand” so much talked about.
CUSTOMERS’ ‘ATTENTION. — Please take notice that the
ist day of January, 1902, all arrangements with the Pacific Coast Lumber Co.
of New Westminster, B. C., for the handling of any of. our shingles
ended. Until further notice our authorized general agents will be Mr. Jas.
Twitchell, Clinton, Ont., for Ontario, and Mr. Samuel Ashfield, of Winnipeg,
Man., for Manitoba and the North-West ; therefore, orders for straight or
mixed cars sent through the above agents or direct to us will have equally
prompt and careful attention. !

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
July and August are usually quiet
months in the lumber business. Consum-
ers have by that time supplied their near-
by requirements, and dealers are content
to relax their efforts to sell lumber and
prepare for fall trade. Consequently it is
often a period of temporary weakness in
prices. It remains to be seen what the
coming two months will bring forth. If
prices are to recede, there should be some
indications at the present time of such a
movement. But, on the contrary, every-
thing points towards higher prices. Our
Toronto price list this week shows an ad-
vance of about one dollar on common,
mill run and flooring. This is cwing to
the fact that no old stock is now coming
in and the value of the new cut has been
advanced by the heavy buying that has
taken place.
The condition of the crops in Ontario is
good and should do much towards main-
taining the degree of general prosperity
now prevailing, in which case lumber will
continue to be in active demand.
Hardwood lumber is showing excep-
tional strength. The light production tuis
season is apparently recognized by buyers,
who are in almost every case meeting the
manufacturer's price. Basswood is a very
scarce article, and any manufacturer hav-
ing a quantity which he desires to market
should make the factknown. Dealers are
meeting great difficulty in finding a supply
In Toronto 1% and 2 inch
basswood has sold as high as $26 per
thousand.

6-inch. Some sales of deals for shipment
to France have been made recently.
Nova Scotia spruce scantlings and boards
are finding a ready market at $8 to$g. It
is estimated that the production in Nova
Scotia is sold up to September, and as the
mills usually cease operations about Oct-
ober ist, there will be very little stock to
be carried over the winter by manufac-
turers. The tendency of prices is higher,
owing to the greater cost of production,
but it is probable that they will-remain at
about the present level, as a further
advance of any account might curtail the
demand.

taken as a whole, is
entirely satisfactory. The eastern re-
quirement is large, and notwithstanding
‘the labor troubles in the anthracite mining
district, a considerable quantity of lumber
is finding a market there. A report just
received from Pittsburg states that the
outlook is for an early advance in the
price of lath. Stock is more plentiful in
eastern wholesale centres than it has been
for months, but there is stilla scarcity of
some grades owing to the fact that
dealers have not yet been able to get
their lumber shipped from the mills. At
Buffalo and Tonawanda slight advances
have been made on some of the better
grades within the past week. No. 1 and
No. 2 barn in 12-inch has been advanced
50 cents. In Chicago dealers are ex-
periencing greater than
earlier in the year, in consequence of
which prices have been shaded in cne or
two instances.

A cargo of common inch
pine, practically No. 2, but with 10 per
cent. of No. 1 and 15 per cent. of No. 3,
was sold last week from $17.50 to $18.
Piece stuff is reasonably firm at $15.50 for
short and $17.50 for long. Spruce lumber
is strong with the exception of small
~randoms, the demand for which has been
curtailed by the recent strikes in the
New England States, which have inter-
fered with the class of building in which
they are used.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The lumber market of Great Britain
remains steady. The volume of business
is not unusnally large, but it is encourag-
ing to learn that Canadian spruce and
pine lumber has held stronger than almost
any other class. Cargoes of spruce have
been sold at £7 10s to £7 12s 6d c. i. f.
Liverpool for New Brunswick stock. The
former price is for inferior specifications
and the latter for the usual proportion of
10 per cent. 3x11. At recent auction
sales high prices were obtained for spruce,
third quality bringing £9 10s and fourth
quality £9. What effect the postpone-
ment of the Coronation celebration will
have upon the lumber market is yet un-
known, but it has involved considerable
loss to persons who had invested heavily
in undertakings of various kinds.
Accurate figures have been compiled
showing the reduction in the log produc-
tion in Sweden The total
number of logs taken cut by one hunared
last winter.
of the leading firms was 18,930,430, as
compared with 31,735,503 in the previous
winter. This is a reduction of about 40
per cent., which, taken in conjunction
with the lessened quantity of lumber for
export from Canada to Great Britain,
should cause an all-round advance in
prices. The fact that freight rates are so
low is an indication that there is no great
quantity of lumber awaiting shipment. A
steamer has been chartered at 30s from
St. John, N. B., to Liverpool, which is
about the lowest rate on record.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
Extra cedar shingles are selling at $2.80
delivered in Chicago.
Owing to the water rising at St. Francis,
N.B., a number of cedar logs were carried
away.
The Newville Company, of
Parrsboro, N.S., shipped 171,381 feet of
scantling to Vineyard Haven last week by
Lumber
the steamer St. Bernard.
The steamer Mechamician sailed from
St. Joan, N. B., last week for Liverpool
with 1,500 standards of deals and a quan-
tity of box shooks and pulp.
All the logs cut on the St. John river
and its tributaries are now believed to be
in safe quarters except 3,000,000 feet for
Stetson, Cutler and Company.
It is reported that the Cook-Lummis
Company have sold their cut, estimated at
Over 25,000,000 feet,to Mershon, Schuette,
Parker & Company, of Saginaw.
The steamer Inishowen Head sailed
from Montreal last Saturday for Daven-
port and Plymouth, England, with a car-
go of timber and deals for the Imperial
Government.
Eddy Bros. & Company, of Blind River,
Ont., are reported to have sold the Nor-
way lumber in their stock to Walworth
& Neville, of Bay City. It is estimated at
4,000,000 feet.
The Tobique Manufacturing Company,
of Plaster Rock, N.B., have shipped in
the past two weeks fitty cars of lumber.
Their cut this season will be about 5,000,-
ooo of spruce and 25,000,000 shingles.
McArthur Bros. & Company, of Little
Current, Ont., are operating their mill
day and night, cutting their own stock
and about 2,000,000 feet for the Edward
Hines Lumber Company, of Chicago. The
mill will cut about 30,000,000 feet this sea-
son.
L. H. Swan & Company, of North Ton-
awanda, have bought the balance of the
stock, 750,000 feet of white pine, which
was purchased by Montgomery Bros., of
Buffalo, fromthe Clark-S wan-Jackson Com-
pany. Swan & Company have also
bought the remainder of Shepherd &
Morse’s stock of white pine, nearly 1,000-
000 feet.
N. N. Wright & Company have been
cutting 5,000,000 ieet of logs at Cutler,
Ont., foc Frank Perry, the stock being
sold to E. B. Foss & Company, of Bay
City. About 5,000,000 feet will be cut for
Pitts & Company, which has been pur-
chased by Prescott & Company, of Cleve-

very much regret, that practically all the
shingles which have been sold so far in
Ontario this year have gone on the mar-
ket at last year’s prices, and I have very
grave doubts if more than a few car loads
have been sold at the advanced price.
The simple reason of this is that about all
the mills bad contracted their shingles
before the advance at the old price. This
is, of course, unfortunate for the manufac-
turers, but it is nevertheless true.

ber to Montreal for export, and consign-
ments for points in the States are numer-
ous. While the mining and other industrial
strikes across the line had a depressing
effect on the lumber trade with the New
England States, the demand from other
States comprising new territory is quite
strong.
Generally speaking, the business can be
said to have a buoyant tone. The voice
of the chronic kicker is heard in the land,
but the majority of the mill men and oper-
ators speak well of the present and hope-
fully of the future. While prices have not
advanced they have not declined, and it
would appear as if they had reached a

when the present season's cut is ready
for shipment.
Mr. George H. Fowler, Lumber Agent
of the C.P.R., reports a brisk movement of
telephone and telegraph poles,a movement
in advance of that of previous years. From
points on the Pontiac and Gatineau
branches and Buckingham, Aruoprior
and Ottawa the ‘‘long fellows” are
being shipped in large numbers.
Other stock that is moving freely from
points in the vicinity of Ottawa is wood
pulp and lath. The wood pulp is bound
for mills in New York State. The lath
is consigned to points in Pennsylvania
and Ohio. While this year’s cut of lath
is being handled in large quantities, ship-
pers are still busy with last year’s cut. _
There is a brisk movement of lath from
Rockland. The Interior Lumber Com-
pany, of Pittsburg, Pa., last fall closed a
deal with the W. C. Edwards Company
for two millions and a half of lath cut at
the Rockland mill. This stock is being

operator
J. R. Wheeler, a lumber
of the same American city,
closed a big deal with the Hawkesbury
Lumber Company for a large stock of
lath, which is now being shipped from the
Hawkesbury yards.
“Everything is moving aloug O.K.,
there’s no chance for a break in prices.”
This, parting shot from a well known
Operator sums up the situation.
The tributaries of the Ottawa are full of
logs these days, and the main stream
has received several of the drives. A
large quantity of pulp wood is in sight
ready for the saws. The Rouge
river, which enters the Ottawa on the
Quebec side at Calumet village, is
literally floored with logs and pnlp-
wood.
The logs belong to Mr. George
H. Perley, who operates a large mill
night and day at Calumet. This mill was
formerly operated by the Ottawa Lumber
Company. Last winter Mr. Perley over-
hauled it and fitted it up anew. The pulp
wood on the Rouge river belongs to the
Riordan Paper Company, of Hawkesbury.
Mr. Thos. Mackey, M.P., who was in the
city this week, reports the mills in and
about Pembroke doing a rushing business.
Steady rains have brought along the
drives which were in the early part of the
season accepted as abandoned for this
year at least. The same report applies
to the Coulonge, Gatineau and Black
rivers,
Mr. W. A. Sheriff, slide master at Chats
Rapids, states that fully two-thirds of the
present season's cut of square timber has
passed down the Ottawa river en route
to Quebec. He figures that fully 590,000
cubic feet of square timber has passed
down in cribs, with 250,000 feet to follow,
making 840,000 feet to traverse the water
route this summer. So far 478 cribs have
been moved.
This year’s movement of square tim-
ber has been the best and largest in recent
years. The timber taken out by Mr.
Hurdman is, according to knowing ones,
of the first quality. Much of the timber
is being handled by Dobell, Beckett &
Company for export to England, It is
there used largely in pattern making.
The square timber trade has an advant-
age over the saw mill business, as it gives
quick cash returns. The monetary equiv-

confronts the man who saws his lumber

SPIGER SHINGL
ILL GO., ume
With all our past experience in the shingle business, of which we make a
specialty, and with all the latest and best improvements in machinery and
mill construction, we exyect il to be the most complete and up-to-date mill in
North America, where shingles can be made better than in the ordinary mill.
The above p'ant will be in operation about the first of June, and although
this mill wil have a daily (24 hours) capacity of 1,250,000 shingles, the
dealers and consumers need not be afraid of any particular surplus, but can
rest assured that there wili be one firm on the coast manufacturing red cedar
shingles from whom they can get their wants supplied in a hurry with that
old reliable *‘Hastings Brand’ so much talked about.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,
Everyone seems well satisfied with pre-
seit conditions and with the outlook for
lumber. The advances recorded last week
While all
kinds of lumber are pointing in the direction
still represent current prices.
of strength, box and common have im-
proved more than other grades. For inch
box and common from $15 to $16 at the
mill is being asked, and for 2 inch wide
common, 12 to 16 feet, about $16. Some
of the smaller mills are quoting about $1
below these figures, but as their grading is
usually not as good asin the case of the
larger mills, this difference is only reason-
able. Complaint is still heard that the whole-
sale dealers’ margin of profit is too small.
With ro and 12 inch common bringing $15
to $16 at the mill and selling in Toronto at
$18, there seems ground for dissatisfaction.
Efforts to advance prices to the consumer
so as to leave a fair margin of profit for the
dealer have not always met with success.
Inch mill run Norway is held at $14 at the
mill for ithe new cut, the thicker sizes run-
ning from $14 to $18, the latter for 22 feet
stock. Consumers of hardwood lumber are
showing a strong disposition to contract
for their requirements. The conditions
seem favorable for an advance in the price
of hardwoods, and this will probably take
place in the fall if not before. Best quali-
ty pine shingles are selling in Toronto at
$3-50, with the demand steady. Inquiries
for shingles for shipment to the Eastern
States are quite numerous.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The unusual quantity of rain this season
has greatly facilitated the floating of tim-
ber, and as a result practically all the
timber cut on the St. John and its tribu-
taries, estimated at 135,000,000 feet, has
been brought in. The mills are therefore
assured of ample supply, and are in busy
operation. Market conditions continue
satisfactory. An order has been received
by Mr. Robert Carson of St. Martins,
N. B., from Shepard, Farmer & Co. of
Boston, for 300 spruce poles, 35 feet long
for use as spars in the United States
navy. The suitability of Bay of Fundy
spruce for this purpose is likely to result
in further orders. At Quebec a difficulty
has arisen resulting in a strike of the
dock laborers. Some of the vessels have
put to sea partly loaded.
is under consideration
The matter
by the Quebec
Board of Trade. At a meeting of the
Board called to discuss the matter, Hon.
John Sharples gave expression to the
Opinion that the export trade in timber
and deals from the port of Quebec is
drawing to a close.

much rain which has marred the prospect

is estimated that the production of grain

least thirty per cent. bringing the total

demand at fair prices, commercial con-
ditions in the North-West during the com-
ing year should be of a satisfactory char-
acter. With money plentiful it can reason-
ably be predicted that improvements on
an extensive scale involving the consump-
tion of large quantities of lumber,shingles,
etc., willbe carried out. The bulk of this
trade will fall into the hands of the mills
in Northern Ontario and British Columbia.
In this connection Minneapolis capitalists
are said to be organizing a company to
erect a number of elevators in the Cana-
dian North-West and to build a large
number cf houses on the line of the Cana-
dian Northern Railway.
Acertain amount of damage by bush fires
is reported from British Columbia, but wet
weather prevented their continuance. The
usual demand for cars for shipment of grain
is likely to prove an inconvenience to
lumber and shingle manufacturers in the
west, and may possibly have an effect upon
prices of shingles. A party of lumbermen
from Puget Sound are said to have re-
cently travelled over a good portion of
British Columbia with the object of secur-
ing cedar limits which might be conven-
iently and profitably turned into lumber.
They report, however, that there is little
good timber available except inland where
the cost of manufacturing and shipping
would be high. A test case is to be tried
at an early date to determine whether
timber on Crown Lands can be exported.
An American syndicate is reported to
have purchased timber on Government
Land with the object of exporting the
same to the United States.
At a meeting of the Pacific Coast Man-
ufacturers’ Association, of Washiugton
Territory held recently in Tacoma, it was
learned that the mills included in the mem-
bership of the Association had sufficient
orders on hand to keep them running for
two months. It was therefore decided to
call in the travellers, The Leggers’ As-
SS

sociation of Washington Territory, ad-
vanced the price of logs fifty cents on the
rst insf.
If is reported from Vancouver that the
Loggers’ Association of British Columbia
propose to test the legality of the Legisla-
tion enacted to prevent the export of tim-
ber out of the Province. The Association
is said have obtained a high legal
Opinion to the effect that the Government
cannot grant a special license to loggers
to cut timber and then prevent them sell-
ing it where they may choose.
UNITED STATES.
The white pine market continues to rule
strong with a large volume ot trade doing.
Northwestern manufacturers report a dif-
ficulty in securing required assortments;
in consequence the volume of shipments
is being restricted. Eastern buyers have
been looking for a reduction in freights,
but there is believed to be little prospect
of a drop.
A steady demand is reported for doors
and mill work, even in localities where
dullness is reported in other lines.
The report comes from Alpena of a dis-
position by some members of the Hemlock
Association te advance the price 50 cents
per M. as the result of the brisk demand.
At Philadelphia prices are somewhat er-
ratic, varying from $15.50 to $17.50 for
hemlock boards.
A gradual strengthening is reported of
prices of hardwoods, advances having:
taken place in some of the cheaper varie-
ties. Quartered white oak leads in de-
mand. Maple flooring is a trifle weaker
owing to the competition of yellow pine.
‘Prices of spruce are steady. Boston
circulars quote as follows: Ten and
12-inch dimension, $20 to $22; 9g-inch
and under, $19 to $20; 10 and 12-
inch, random lengths, 10 feet and up,
$20.50; 2x3, 2X4, 2x5, 2x6, 2x7 and 3x4,
1o feet and up, $17 to $17.50; all other
randoms, 9-inch and under, 10 feet and
up, $16.50 to $18; 5-inch and up, mer-
chantable boards, $13.50 to $14; bundle
furring, $17 to $18.
At North Tonawanda there is a brisk
demand for lath, of which stocks are very
low, especially No. 1 white pine lath which
is quoted as high as $4.25. Mixed pine
lath are selling at $3.75. Red cedar
shingles are plentiful and are reported to
be selling in this market at $3.60 for 5 to
2 clears.
The use recently of 9 feet car siding in-
stead of 8 feet as formerly, is said to be
proving an obstacle in the way of the con-
tinued use of white pine for this purpose,
owing to the scarcity of 18 feet stock.
Other woods, the manufacturers of which
are willing to cut to a greater variely of
dimensions are being employed.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The timber trade, in conjunction with
all other lines, has to a large extent been
at a standstill by reason of public anxiety
regarding the life of the King. Timber
sales which had been arranged prior to
the announcement of His Majesty's condi-
tion, were postponed. The recovery of
the Sovereign being now assured, the trade
may be expected to resume in some degree
its normal activity, although conditions
are likely to be more or less unsettled until
after the Coronation next month. Beyond
the demand created by the Coronation the
requirements for building woods are small,
and deliveries have consequently slacken-
ed. While the sales of timber required for
street stands, etc., in connection with the
Coronation, gave quite a stimulus to trade
it is estimated that the demand from this
source would not exceed in quantity more
than one week's deliveries at London.
When it is considered that all of this tim-
ber cannot be considered to have gone
permanently into consumption, but that a
part will find its way back to be resold for
other purpoces, the gain after all is not so
great as might at first sight appear.
The American Consul at Nottingham re-
ports that there is an almost unlimited de-
mand for material: suitable for lace and
He says the size generally
required is 5-8 in. thick by 7 to 8 in. wide,
and in lengths from 6 to 20 ft. The lum-
ber should be planed on one side only,
and edges grooved and tongued. The
lumber used at present, is chiefly North
hosiery boxes.
Carolina pine, but white pine and poplar
will do equally as well; a little sap ora
few knots are not objected to, providing
the timber is sound. The report states
that the Nottingham case makers cannot
afford to give more than £8 tos per

STOCKS AND PRICES.
Mr. Robert Baker states that the Tur-
ner Lumber Company, of Midland, Ont.,
expect to cut 40,000,000 feet this summer.

Messrs. Hale & Murchies’ mill near
Fredricton, N.B.,
was closed down.
Messrs. Welsh Bros., of New West-
minster, are rebuilding and fitting up with
McConnell is operating
which until recently
new machinery the Green shingle mill on
the north shore of False Creek on Van-
couver Island, which was recently burned.
Mr. R. R. Drysdale is said to have
purchased from William Playfair.9 square
miles of timber limits, a steam saw mill
and a residence in Lanark county. Mr.
Drysdale will commence operations in the
fall.
The Vancouver Investment Company
have applied to the local Government for
500 miners’ inches of water to be taken
out of the east branch of the Capilano for
tae purpose of floating timber. The pro-
posal is to flume the timber irom the
limits to high water.
The first general meeting of the Cushing
Box Company, Limited, was held recently
at St. John, N. B., when the following
officers were elected; W. H. Murray,
president; Jos. Alliston, vice-president ;
Geo. F. Wilson, managing director; Alex.
Wilson, secretary-treasurer. The com-
pany’s mill at Milford gives employment to
forty men and is crowded with orders.
Mr. Thomas Southworth, director of
forestry for the Ontario government, is in
receipt of inquiries from Ontario manufac-
turers for white ash, of which there appears
to be a great scarcity. The wood is
largely used by carriage and saddlery
manufacturers. Mr. Southworth believes
that it would pay Ontario farmers to plant
ash trees in their wood lands, as this tim-
ber is a fast grower and would become
commercially valuable in about ten years.
Messrs. James Levallee, George Chew
and W. H. Turrip, of Orillia, bave been
in Vuncouver recently with the object of
purchasing a site and establishing a large
shingle and lumber mill in that city. They
recently purchased a mill and timber limit
at Slocam Lake, together with other tim-
ber, and have arranged to increase the
capacity of the mill to 100,000 feet daily.
In addition to this, as stated, they now
propose to establish a large mill at Van-
couver,
A Vancouver dispatch states that the
Leamy & Kyle saw mill, which was at one
time known to be an important industry
of that city, has been purchased, by
Messrs. Hunter & Fox, of Blaine, Wash.,
who will at once put it in operation and
manufacture red cedar shingles for ship-
ment to eastern points. Messrs. Hunter
& Fox had previously imported cedar logs
from British Columbia, but ran short of
material after the passing of the law pro-
hibiting the export of British Columbia
timber.

small lot of Hemlock we had to accept

THE COOPERAGE MARKET.
The Sutherland, Innes Co., of Chatham,
Ont., refer to the cooperage stock market
as follows: The market for cooperage
material is in a very unsettled condition at
the present time. Trade is very quiet in
all lines in Canada, and very little stock
is being used. There is a great uncertain-
ty yet as to how the apple crop will come
out, and very few coopers are yet figuring
on apple barrel material. The conse-
quence is that prices will retnain depress-
ed, and there is no stock moving except

to the United States market. It is almost
impossible at the present time to fix mark-
et prices on stock, No. 2 staves remain
very low, as there is no demand for them
and will not be until the apple season
starts in. The fact of the matter is, at the
present time it is just between seasons,
and until the trade brightens up it is im-
possible to give anything like a reasonable
report of the state of the market.
RAILWAY TIMBER WANTED FOR
SOUTH AFRICA.
Messrs. ‘Pecyke & Co., of Capetown,
South Africa, have written to the Secre-
tary of the Toronto Board of Trade, send-
ing specifications of hardwood railway
ties and lumber required for the Cape
Government railway at Port Elizabeth,
There will be no duty on the ties, and
probably none on the lumber, although if
there is it will have to be added to the
tender, which must be in by the 15th of
next month‘ ;
Any firm tendering will have to get the
best rates per steamer and sailing yessel
to Port Elizabeth and Cape Town, and
Peycke & Co. suggest that the firm
should communicate with the Minister
of Agriculture at Ottawa, when advan-
tageous terms might be arranged for
having them come out by steamer trom
St. John, N.B. For landing charges the
firm tendering would have to figure on
seven shillings and sixpence per ton of
40 cubic feet measurement. This would
cover the expense either at Cape Town or
Port Elizabeth.
If these sleepers could be obtained in
Canada, Peycke & Co. consider that there
isa field for a very large export busi-
ness, as hundreds of thousands of them
are used, and the demand will keep on
increasing. For the information of the
firm tendering they say that the last
Jarrah wood sleepers the department
bought came from Java, and cost about
five shillings each, without landing
charges. There are 40,000 sleepers re-
quired to be delivered into the railway
trucks at the jetty, Port Elizabeth, at
contractor's risk and expense.

The dull dog days are now upon the lo-

business is slack. The old stocks are all
out of the local yards, and little of the pre-
sent season's cul, with the exception of lath

brisk movement of the latter stock when
itis in shape, are good. Prices inthe higher

With all our past experience in the shingle business, of which we make a
specialty, and with all the latest and best improvements in machinery and
mill construction, we expect it to be the most complete and up-to-date mill in
North America, where shingles can be made better than in the ordinary mill.
this mill will have a daily (24 hours) capacity of 1,250,000 shingles, the
dealers and consumers need not be afraid of any particular surplus, but can
rest assured that there will be one firm on the coast manufacturing red cedar

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,
The
reduced the volume of lumber transactions
holiday season has somewhat
during the past week, yet our reports
show that more activity prevails than is
usual at this period. Prices continue’ to
be firmly maintained, and are practically
on the same basis as last reported. Re-
perts from Northern Ontario state that

ing order : grades

that pine sfocks with the exception of mill
culls are light.
All reports agree in stating
The same is true of hard-
wood with the exception, perhaps, of
maple, for which the demand seems Some-
what less active. The prediction is made
insome quarters of a rise in the price
of the higher grades of pine as well as
hemlock. The demand for shingles and
lath continues strong. One report sums
up the situation thus: ‘‘Tne lumber -busi-
ness is in fair andhealthy condition here.
and the outlook is that it will remain so
for this year’s stock.”
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The returns of the British Board of Trade
show a falling off in imports of sguare
timber from Canada for the first half of
the present year to the amount of 432,000
and of sawn wood to the amount of £184,-
ooo. The increased home and United
States demand is no doubt responsible for
this reduction in shipments, which in view
of the heavy stocks previously on hand at
British ports, has assisted in bringing about
the more satisfactory conditions and prices
now prevailing on the other side of the
Atlantic. New Brunswick manufacturers
and shippers of planks would do well to
restrict shipments for a time, at least, in
view of the fact that there is an oversupply
of these goods in the British market, and
prices are very unsatisfactory. Negotia-
tions are understood to be in progress
looking to an early settlement of the strike
of the ship laborers at Quebec.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
The lumber and shingle business in
British Columbia is at present in a satis-
The mills; are
beavily stocked with orders but it is not
thought that it will be impossible to fill
them although some shipments may be
delayed. The prospects for a good crop

large influx of settlers into that country
has created an unusual demand for lumber
to supply the trade there. This market,

which can be shipped at a small profit.
Prices on rough grades have been ad-
vanced one dollar per thousand and on
some of the better grades of fir two dol-
lars and fifty cents, while cedar has risen
in price on nearly all grades.
Logs are more plentiful than they have
been for months but are firm in price,
ranging in price from $5 to $7 at the mill
according to quality. If the weather con-
tinues fine, large quantities of fir. and
cedar will be put in the water during the
next few months. Foreign trade is brisk
and prices are firm.
Owing to the fishing industry being now
in operation labor is scarce both for mills
and logging camps and good woodsmen
are in good demand at from $2.75 to
$4.00 per day.
UNITED STATES.
The results of the first half year’s opera-
tions in the !umber trade are now known
and are found to be of such a satisfactory
character as to give assurance that the
business for the entire year will reach a
high standard. The heavy movement: of

ially the case at Glasgow. In support of
this statement we publish in another
column a comparative table showing the
stocks on hand at this port at goth
June 1901 .and 1902. The _ belief
that considerable quantities of tim-
ber will be required for South Africa,
seems likely to assist in stiffening values
in the British Market. It is stated how-
ever, that the demand from South Africa
relates principally to the larger sizes of
timber for mining and railway purposes.
Aside from this it is believed that an
advance in prices is probable later in the
season, and that there will be a scarcity
of deals for the opening of next season.
Narrow sizes that have long been unsale-
able are now bringing an advance of 10 to
15s. aS compared with the prices which
ruled early in the season. Importations of
Quebec waney and square pine at Liver-
pool are very light and are mostly upon
contract, while the consumption of pine
deals and boards has been 1000 standards
above the import. Canadian oak and
birch logs are in demand. Of plank there
is an oversupply. Steadiness marks the
trade in hardwoods.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
Moore’s new steam saw mill at Pleasant
Point, St. John, N.B., is being tested and
will shortly go into operation.
Winnipeg lumber dealers report difficul-
ty in securing supplies of shingle and lath
and prices hold very firm for good stock.
An Order-in-Council of the Ontario
Government has fixed at $300 per thousand
feet cubic as the trespass penalty on
red and white pine square timber and $3
per standard of 200 feet board measure
upon saw logs.

Indian Affairs, Ottawa, is inviting tenders

able pine, spruce and other timber on the

A Wisconsin Syndicate organized by

Canada, the intention being to manufac-

land and at different points in Canada.

There was a good attendance at the

THE MARKET FOR LUMBER IN JAPAN.
A correspondent of The CaNnapa Lum-
BERMAN writing from Japan, promises to
send for publication shortly some particu-
lars regarding the lumber trade of that
country and the methods of shipping and
marketing there. ‘At this writing,” he
says, “I have not much time to cover the
question of prospects of foreign lumber in
Japan, but may say that sales can be
effected if the business is entrusted to
QUEBEC.
LONDON,
ENG.
AGENTS...
some one directly in the business who will
introduce the lumber in various ways.
Advertising alone will not do that in this
country so far as my experience goes,
Lumber in Jap2n, is as a rule sold on con-
signment, and merchants get their lumber
which, when sold, rice is sent generally in
return—therefore the price of rice affects
the quotations on Jumper.”.

FINE INTERIOR FINISH,
THE BOSTON MARKET.
The spruce lumber market is rather
more quiet generally, though there is
a good demand in the way of factory
orders at full prices. Prices are gen-
erally well sustained, with the weaker
position of small randoms less ct a
factor than previously noted. These
small randoms are gradually disappear-
ing. Quotations are steady: Ten and
12 inch dimensions, $20to $22; g-inch and
under, $19 to $20; 10 and 12 inch, random
lengths, 10 feet and up, $20.50; 2x3, 2x4,
2x5, 2x6, 2x7, and 3x4, 10 feet and up,
$17 to $17.50; all other randoms, 9-inch
and under, 10 feet and up, $16.50 to $18 ;
5-inch and up, merchantable boards, $7;
matched boards, $19 to $20; out spruce
boards, $13.50 to $14; bundle furring,
$17 to $18.
Hemlock lumber continues very firm,
with the market quiet: Boards, 12, 14
and 16 feet stock, $15 to $15.50 tor good

Shingles hold very firm, under the in-
fluence of a good many unfilled orders.
While the demand has not been great,
it has more than equalled the supply. A
firm market is looked for for some time
to come : Extra cedar, $3.50; clear, $3 ;
second clear, $2.50; extra No. 1, $1.90
to $2; Washington and British Columbia
red cedar, 16-inch, five butts tv 2 inches,

There will be over a million feet of sawn lumber used in this one plant for
construction only ; over 30,000 lin. feet of piling, besides rock foundations 3

and up in diameter. A summary of all the material that will be used in the
trains of 15 car-loads each.
‘
S|
construction of this plant shows that there will be over 320 car-loads, or 21
With all our past experience in the shingle business, of which we make a
specialty, and with all the latest and best improvements in machinery and
mill construction, we expect it to be the most complete and up-to-date mill in
North America, where shingles can be made better than in the ordinary mill.
The above plant will be in operation about tbe first of June, and although
this mill will have a daily (24 hours) capacity of 1,250,000 shingles, the
dealers and consumers need not be afraid of any particular surpius, but can
rest assured that there will be one firm on the coast manufacturing red cedar
shingles from whom they can get their wants supplied in a hurry with that
old reliable ‘‘Hastings Brand’”’ so much talked about.
CUSTOMERS’ ATTENTION. — Please take
ist day of January, 1902, all arrangements with the Pacific Coast Lumber Co.
of New Westminster, B. C., for the handling of any of our shingles
ended. Until further notice our authorized general agents will be Mr. Jas.
Twitchell, Clinton, Ont., for Ontario, and Mr. Samuel Ashfield, of Winnipeg,
Man , for Manitoba and the North-West ; therefore, orders for straight or
mixed cars sent through the above agents or direct to us will have equally
prompt and careful attention.

Owing to the moderate stock of Canadian
lumber, the probability of a decline in
prices is almost entirely removed. It
claimed that floorings and Spruce are
likely to be advanced within the next two
months, while all classes of pine deals
are exhibiling strength. A correspond-
ent at London reviews the spruce situa-
ation in the following manner: ‘The
spruce market is really the only one
which gives real evidence of brisk
trading. The box-making industry is in
a flourishing condition, and the demand
from this quarter largely accounts for
the high prices now ruling for all qualities
of spruce. It is a real satisfaction to turn
to a branch of the softwood trade wherein
it can be said that the demand is good
and orders are brisk, for from the ready
way in which all the new arrivals from
Canada are snapped up it is very con-
clusive that the spruce dealers experience
no difficulty in finding a market for their
importations. Second quality 3 by 9

The demand for apple barrel stock has

of red cedar shingle dealers that it is time

they are afraid that the approaching big
salmon and grain season will interfere
with the car supply. It does not look as
though the amount ot shingles sold in
Buffalo would equal that of last year,
though the dealers are not aware of the
reason. Prices are fairly firm, though
not so stiff as they were earlier. The
quotation of $4.25 for perfections still holds,
with white pines, when there are any,
about the same figure.
There is always a small supply of white
cedars, which sell for a trifle less.
Of the Barbadoes lumber market
Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Company,
under date of July sth, say: ‘The Edyth”,
from St. John, N. B., brought 21,000 feet

We have a cargo on the way con-
tracted for, and we believe further supplies
are expected. The market is, therefore,
amply supplied. There has been no ar-
rival of spruce since our last, but we are
momently expecting a cargo. The
“Bravo”, from Paspebiac, Que., arrived
on July 3rd, with 750,000 shingles, includ-
ing Laying Cedar, Long Gaspe, and Di-
mension. None have been offered up to
time of writing. The ‘Edyth’ also
rought 1,500,000 Laying Cedar shingles,
which have been contracted for at landed
terms.
Farnworth & Jardine refer to the
Liverpool timber market as follows: Pine
Timber.—Of waney, the first direct ship-
ment (chiefly on contract) has arrived,
and goes largely into consumption; values
rule high and stocks are very light.
Square Pine—Deck wood, also on contract,
has been imported more freely, and has
gone mostly into consumers’ hands. Stocks
are fairly moderate ; values unchanged.
Red Pine.—The import consists of about
5,000 cubic feet fresh wood, the demand
is quiet, and stocks appear sufficient for
present requirements ; prices are steady.
Oak.—The arrivals have been moderate,
chiefly first class wood for special require-
ments. Deliveries have not been large,
but stocks are light and values very firm ;
there has recently been more enquiry for
later delivery. Elm has been imported
more freely, and consisting generally of
fresh rock elm, the deliveries have been
fairly satisfactory, stocks are moderate
and prices steady, but soft elm is practi_
cally unsaleable.! Ash is only in limited de-
mand ; stocks are sufficient. Quebec Pine
Deals.—The imports have been large, and
deliveries show considerable improvement,
but stocks all round are heavy ; values are
unchanged. Red Pine Deals are dull of
sale ; stock ample. New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia Spruce and Pine Deals—The
import of 10,000 standards, although ex-
ceeding the previous month,is slightly less
than the corresponding month last season;
the deliveries have fairly kept pace and
stocks are still moderate; values have
Pine Deals are in fair re-
light and prices
Birch.—Of logs the arrivals
have been chiefly from Quebec ; there has
been fair enquiry at firm rates, and stocks
are moderaie. Planks.—The imports
show a marked falling off, but the de-
liveries have been very disappointing, and
the stock is too large; there is little

THE GLASGOW MARKET.
The following particulars of the Glas-
gow market are found in the July report
of Wright Graham & Co.:
WanEyY BoarDWoop. — The demand
holds strong. Prices are much the same
as before, prime wood being quoted at
2s 1od to 3s 6d per cubic foot, according
to the average length ; second-class stock
at 2s 6d to 2s od per cubic foot.
Oak Locs.—There is enquiry for long
logs of prime quality to sell at about 3s to
38 3d per cubic foot. Logs of poorer size
and quality are quoted at from 2s 3d to
2s 6d per cubic foot.
EL_mM.—The demand continues slight,
but the price for prime quality logs of
good average length remains firm at 3s to
3s 3d per cubic foot. Parcels of poor
specification and inferior quality are diffi-
cult to sell.
Asu.—The bulk of the stock is held by
consumers. Prices are quoted at about
22d per cubic foot for 14 in. average, and
zs to 2s 2d per cubic foot for
average.
BiRCH.—Since our last report the posi-
tion has not undergone any change of im-
portance. Logs continue to be quoted at
about 1s 6d for 16 in. average. Planks of
ordinary quality are a drug in the market;
prime quality only are saleable, price
ranging from r5d to 16d per cubic foot.

CANADIAN DOORS AND SASHES IN
BERMUDA.
S. B. Ingham, of Hamilton, Bermuda,
is a large importer of lumber. He states
that his supply of doors and sashes comes
from Binghampton, New York, and that
he would like to get in touch with Cana-
dian manufacturers of such articles. Mr.
Ingham is anxious for closer trade rela-
tions with Canada and will do what he
can to encourage them. At present he is
buying spruce boards, scantlings, laths,
box material and spars in this country,
but would buy a good deal more if we
gave him the opportunity. Trade in both
rough and manufactured lumber has been
very large during the past year because of
the expenditures made by the Imperial
Government. Probably the withdrawal of
the Boer prisoners and their guards will
have a tendency to reduce the volume of
trade somewhai, but there is still a good
business to be done.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The lumber trade is nat as lively as it
was a few weeks ago, but there promises
to be renewed buying for stocking-up pur-
poses within a short time. No stocks of
any consequence are accumulating at the
mills, and we would not be surprised to
witness a further advance in the price of
white pine. Lower prices are usually
caused either by a general depression in
business or by an overstocked market.
Neither of these conditions may be ex-
pected to exist within the next year, so
that the stability of the market seems as-
sured for some time to come. Wages in
the woods during the coming winter will
be high, probably $28 to $30 per month
for first-class loggers, $27 to $28 for team-
sters, and $20 to $23 for road-makers.
This factor will havea tendency to further
enhance the value of white pine lumber.
Mill culls are now held at from $9 to $10
at the mill, and in no instance is stock be-
ing sacrificed to effect a sale, as American
buyers are willing to purchase wherever
any quantity can be secured.
Hardwoods are in the ascendancy, and
it is generally believed that they will sell
materially higher when the shortage in
stocks becomes more generally known.
Implement and furniture factories report
that millmen are running short in their
contracts, the reason being that they were
unable to secure sufficient logs last winter
to keep their mills in operation.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,
The scarcity of clapboards is still com-
mented upon. The demand from the East-
ern States has absorbed almost the entire
supply ofdry stock,and prices have reced-
ed but little from the high point reached
last spring. Spruce lath are also in good
request at firm prices. The cedar shingle
market is, if anything, a trifle easier, al-
though the Jarge manufacturers are still
holding their extras at $3.60 for Boston
delivery.
Square and waney pine timber is steadily
seeking a high level. A few sales are re-
ported to have been made at prices higher
than those recently quoted, but the stock’
was in most instances of exceptionally
good quality. Birch timber shows a ten-
dency to appreciate.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,
Lumber is going actively into consump-
tion throughout Manitoba and the Terri-
tories. The requirement at the present
time is chiefly for building operations,
which are being carried on extensively.
The country demand will develop after the
crops are harvested and will doubtless be
of large proportions, as an abundant yield
of grain is promised. Laborers are great-
ly in demand, it being almost impossible
to secure a sufficient number of loggers to
keep the camps in British Columbia in
operation. Manufacturers there have
large orders for lumber on their books
and will be kept busy throughout the
season. Five vessels are expected to
arrive at Chemainus this week to load
lumber for South America.

pine prices are high, influences are at
work to bring about a further advance of
‘about one dollar per thousand, as it is
believed by many persons that such an
advance could be put into effect without
having any restrictive influence upon the
demand. It is contended that the output
of white pine this season will be inade-
quate to meet the demand, and that this
is shown by the fact that up to the present
time the mills have been unable to accumu-
late the usual quantity of stock. Our
Buffalo list this week shows an advance in
the price of 12 inch No. 1 barn boards.
Chicago dealers last week put into effect
an advance on several items of fifty cents
and one dollar. Dealers state that they
are finding a normal demand and are able
to do business without as much effort as is
customary. Albany advices state that
good lumber is exceptionally firm, 3 and
4-inch uppers bringing from $78 to $80.
There is more inquiry for hardwoods than
at any previous time this season. An ex-
pansion in the demand for white ash has
taken place, implement factories being
reported as large buyers. Basswood con-
tinues scarce and birch is none too plenti-
ful. Hemlock has advanced in _ the
Chicago and Boston markets. In the
former city it is sellling on the basis of
$14 for 2x4, 2x6, 2x8 and 2x10, 12 to 16-
foot, which is the highest price ever
obtained for hemlock in that market. At
Buffalo and Tonawanda the base price is
still $14. There is no change in the
shingle situation, but a heavy movement
is looked for during the fall months, with
possibly a rise in values.
GREAT BRITAIN.
While there has been some improve-~
ment in the tone of the British timber
trade, the outlook for the future is still
surrounded by uncertainty. The pessi-
mist is predicting that prices have now
reached the point where they are likely
to react unless there should be an in-
creased demand. On the other hand,
the import this year is considerably be-
hind that for the same period of last year.
This has permitted stocks to become

the foundation of the lumber business is
on a better footing than it has been for
some time. There have been no impor-
tant failures and little tendency towards
risky speculation. At recent auction
sales prices were well maintained, fourth
quality Quebec spruce bringing £8 10s:
The London market is slightly overstocked
with the common grades of red pine, but
as the import this season will be light, the
situation is likely to improve.
At Liverpool the stock of good spruce
is comparatively low. Prices have shown
an upward tendency, based upon £7 7s
6d to £7 10s per standard, according to
specification, with about 60 per cent. of 7
and 8 inch. Other New Brunswick spruce,
with a good proportion of 3xg and 3x11,
is being sold at extreme prices.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
M. Hyatt, of Revelstoke, is getting out
3,000,000 feet of logs, which will be used
for bridges on the Canadian Northern
Railway.
The steamer Kong Haaken is completing
a cargo of deals at Montreal for the United
Kingdom. The steamer Avona is expected
to arrive in Montreal this week to load a
cargo of deals for the U. K.
E. T. Carrington, Secretary of the
Spanish River Boom Company, states that
there are 185,000,000 feet of logs to be
hauled by the Spanish River Boom Com-
pany this season,of which over 80,000,000
feet has been rafted.
White pine shingles are being offered in
Chicago by rail at $3.20 for extras, $2.60
for standards and $1.50 for No. 1. Lath
are in good request and bring $3.70 to
$3.75 for No. 1 mixed by rail and about
$3.50 by water. No. 2 lath are quoted
at $3 by rail.
A report from Boston, Mass., says that
the predominant feature of the hardwood
matket is the difficulty of securing the
class of quartered oak needed, and this, of
course, limits actual business. For the
very highest grade quartered oak as high
as $70 is asked.
J. & T. Charlton, of Collingwood, Ont.,
last week Joaded the barge Carpenter and
her consort the Tyson with lumber, con-
signed to Bradley, Miller & Company, of
Bay City, Mich. The combined cargoes
contained over 1,000,000 feet, entirely of
this year’s cut.
The lumber receipts at the Saginaw
river during the week ending July roth
were as follows: Schooner J. B. Donald-
son, from Midland, Ont., 440,547 feet, con-
signed to Mershon, Schuette, Parker &
Company ; schooner A. W. Wright, from
Midland, 674,366 feet, same consignees;
steamer Benton, from Spanish River, Ont.,
307,117 feet to E. B. Foss & Company;
schooner David Fetguson, from Spanish
River, 47,785 feet lumber and 779,450
pieces lath, to Foss & Company; schooner
C. J. Filmore, from Spanish River, 548,948
feet lumber and 68,000 pieces lath, to Foss
& Company.
A Liverpool report says: The Quebec and
Montreal season is now in full swing, but
imports are chiefly by the liners. The
chief exporters of pine goods are filling
their contracts to other ports and are not
sending here at present any larger
quantity than they can help, except under
their considerations for their positive en-
gagements. For instance, Robert Cox &
Co. have by.the ‘“‘Parisian” only 170
standards of deals and boards, and by the
‘Lake Ontario” only 15 standards of pine
sidings ; whilst Watson & Todd’s importa-
tions per ‘“‘New England” and ‘‘Roman”
are only 200 standards of third pine deals,
red pine deals, pine sidings, strips, etc.
THE SITUATION ON THE UPPER
LAKES.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., July z23.—In local
lumber circles there is already a sentiment
in favor of making further advances in the
list prices on white pine in the near future.
It is improbable that these advances will
occur before the meeting of the Mississip-
pi Valley Lumbermen’s Association, which
is to be held August 20, but so firm are
some of the local firms in their views that
they want the advance to go into effect at
that time and are beginning the agitation
in favor of higher prices for the purpose of
bringing it about at that time.
4 ; %
There are elements in the white pine
situation which make it look much strong-
er than it has before this season. Owing
to the favorable crop conditions in the
spring wheat belt and in the states to the
southwest, demand has kept up remirk-
ably well during July chus far and has
showed some gains over June. It was
anticipated that the volume of business
this month would be about normal on the
June basis. An increased demand was
therefore unexpected and is a source of
surprise and is giving the market a firmer
tone. And judging by the business that
bas been transacted the past three weeks
and the outlook for the future August will
also show a heavy consumption of white
pine. At that time the crop movement in
the winter wheat states will be on in full
force and southern lumber manufacturers
will have more difficulty in securing cars
than they have at present. Harvest will
be commencing in this section, but the
crop movement will not have begun and
northern manufacturers will therefore be
in a position to supply the demand. They
will have plenty of cars until well into
September and their business will show a
large increase. This will help the situa-
tion and will make prices stronger than
ever.
Another feature which is contribut'ng to
a strong market is the continued shortage
of assortments. White pine manufac-
turers are producing at the maximum of
their ability, but apparently they are un-
able to accumulate stocks for next fall and
wioter after the sawing season will close,
and this is causing a strong feeling. Man-
ufacturers would prefer carrying over
sufficient stocks so that they can take care
of their customers in good shape next
season to selling it out at the present
time.
Whether those who are in favor of ad-
vancing prices will be able to accomplish
this at the August meeting remains to be
seen. It is known that they will use all of
their influence in this direction. On the
other hand, many of the large manufac-
turers, conservative in their views, are
inclined rather to favor a list which is too
low than one which is too strong, in the
belief that prices on a steady and satisfac-
tory basis are better than where they are
irregular and where the list is not observed
by all of the factors.

BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
Owing to a continuance of fine weather
during the last few weeks a large number
of logs have been placed in the water,
consequently the scarcity which prevailed
during May and June has been relieved to
a large extent. The mills are running full
time and the trade is somewhat brisk, but
it is thought that all orders coming in will
be filled within a reasonable time. Prices
on all grades of lumber and shingles are
firm, and there is every reason to think
that they will remain so for the next three
months.
Owing to the high prices of logs, the
millmen have decided to discount, in
future, all payments for same 2 per cent.
large number of orders for heavy
donkey engines for logging have been
placed with the foundries and the day of
the hand-logger and man of small capital
is nearing its end. The smaller class of
donkey engines are being largely discard-
ed for a heavier type, which are found to
be more economical.
The rush to secure timber limits has
practically subsided, although there are a
few cruisers still in the field. - Very few
sales have taken place, although a number
of United States millmen have been here
looking over the ground.
The fight between the millmen and log-
gers re the prohibition of the export of
logs to the United States still continues,
but nothing is likely to be done with the
law until the next sitting of the Legislature.

CURRENT TRADZ CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
Consumers are not delaying the pur-
chasing of lumber in the hope of lower
prices, as up to the present time there
have beea no indications of weakness and
nothing to encourage such belief. The
buying all season has been steady and of
considerable volume, with only a slight
falling off in the midsummer period.
Everywhere lumbermen are wearing a
look of satisfaction, apparently believing
that the prosperity of the business will

prices. Inthe Georgian Bay district there
are only one or two large blocks of lum-
ber on the market, and these would prob-
ably have been bought up before this but
for extraordinary circumstances. Nego-
tiations for one of these blocks are now
under way. Inquiries are constantly be-
ing received by manufacturers and dealers
for the better grades of pine, of which the
supply is short. Unusually high prices
are being offered. Hardwoods have not
changed, being still in good demand at
firm prices. Greater competition among
buyers indicates a growing appreciation
of the shortage in hardwood stocks which
promises to be experienced in the near
future. There is a little irregularity in
prices quoted by Toronto dealers, those
having none of last year’s production being
obliged in some instances to advance their
prices in order to secure a margin of
profit.
QUEBEC AND THE MARITIME PROVINCES.
Spruce lumber becomes more easily
marketed as the season advances. Stocks
have not accumulated at the mills, but
have been bought up for export al-
most as quickly as they have been manu-
factured. The prevailing low freight
rates have enabled shippers to compete
very successfully in foreign markets, even
in the tace of the high first cost. The
buying by United States concerns has
been felt quite keenly by dealers this year,
and has, of course, been the means of en-
abling the mill man to realize more for
his lumber. Wide deals are scarce, the

the business no fault can be found. The
yield of corn this year promises to exceed
anything in the history of the country,
while the wheat crop will be an average
one. This means much to the lumber
business. Duluth reports a sharp inquiry
Sales of several

The better grades are

turers will doubtless urge that the con-
ditions warrant higher prices for the
lower grades also. In Chicago there is
an enormous demand for No. 2 common
and better in all grades. Short pine piece
stuff is selling in that market at $15.50.
There is a lessened inquiry for lath in
Chicago, No. 1 mixed being quoted at $3
to $3.25, and No. 2 at $2.50 to $2.75.
Hemlock prices are steadily advancing,
and are now selling within $3 of pine.
Hardwood lumber is moderately active
and firm. Birch is almost as scarce as
basswood, with prices firming up. Maple

is an all-round improvement in hardwoods.
Shingles are rather quiet, with slight
weakness in 16-inch at Buffalo and
strength in 18-inch.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The receipts of timber at the Surrey
Commercial Docks, London, this year are
50,000 tons less than for the correspond-
ing period of last year. The light im-
port has strengthened the market and
caused some buying for fall delivery. At
recent auction saies the bidding for stock
has been quite brisk and prices well
maintained. Some of the European mar-
kets are showing great strength. Ger-
many and Holland have bought largely
of whitewood,and Denmark bought freely
eariy in the season. The French market
has purchased little from English dealers,
and is not likely to be much of a factor
this year. Of the importing centres, Liv-
erpool has improved ; a number of the
brokers there having sold all the spruce
which they will receive up to the autumn.
There are distinct signs of a strenghthen-
ing in spruce values. Agents of shippers
are looking for higher prices than they
were willing to accept in the spring. The
current asking quotations now for 3x9

The steamer Prone sailed from Mon-
treal last week for London with a cargo

efforts of manufacturers to keep up prices.
In the Saginaw market 4 in. fine com-

$58, and inch shaky clear, 10 in. and up

Quotations for slack cooperage stock
at Buffalo are about as follows : Dry elm

We quote from the last report of S. P.
Musson, Son & Company, Barbados :
“Since the arrival of the ‘Gold Seeker”
with 217,000 feet white pine for contract-
or’s account, mentioned in foot note of our
last, the ‘‘ Canadian” has arrived from St.
John, N.B., with 32,000 feet shipping and
90,000 2nd quality, which it is reported
was contracted for, but it was put on
market, andthe shipping, which was of
exceptionally nice quality, was fixed at
$26, and the 2nd quality at $17%. Wedo
not think this can be taken as an indica-
tion of the market. In spruce the only
arrival is the ‘‘ Moravia,” from Liverpool,

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the Canapa LUMBERMAN.)
Stocks are moving steadily in the
Ottawa district, ‘and the prospects for the
autumn business are receiving as much
attention as actual operations. The local
dealers report no change in prices as last
reported in the Lumberman’s
column.
market
While there is a movement of the
present season’s cut, it has not, outside
the shipment of lath, reached any marked
proportions. The local yards are prac-
tically clear of good pine sidings, strips
and shorts. Good lath, which recently |
dropped back to $2.50, has again ad-
vanced to its old figure, $2.75.
The scarcity of white pine has created
a demand for basswood, classified in this
district with hardwoods. It is now
selling from $14 to $18, the better quality
showing an advance of $2 per M. Elm
shows no advance, and is in poor demand.
It is selling from $12 to $16 per M.
Itis agreed that the prospects fora
good September business are bright.
Vacation se.son, particularly across the
line, has placed a damper on present
operations.
One of the largest and most important
deals in local lumber circles is announced.
By it the Hawkesbury Lumber Company

River. The logs, about 73,000 in num-
ber, aggregate about 6,000,000 . feet,

Upper Ottawa. They will be taken im-
mediately to the mills at Hawkesbury,
Ont., where the new owners will manu-
facture them into board lengths. The
sale was negotiated throngh Messrs.
Hurdman & Elmitt, of this city.
Mr. W. C. Edwards, M.P., who was in
the Capita! to-day, stated that business
was brisk at his Rockland mill. The cut
this year will equal last year’s output.
Men are being engaged for the Edwards’
limits. No new territory will be cut over
Mr. Edwards
will confine his attention as heretofore to

sawn lumber. He will not touch square
timber.
Contrary to statements sent abroad, the
scale of wages being paid limit workers
this season is, with the exception of the
square timber men, not in advance of last
year’s scale, which was in advance of that
paid in former years. While labor is
comparatively scarce, fully one thousand
men have already been secured in Otta-
wa. The ruling wages are as follows :
Road cutters, $18 to $22 per month ;
general hands, $22 to $25 ; teamsters,
$26 to $27; log cutters, $27 to $28;
timber scorers, $30 to $35 ; timber liners,
$35 to $40; timber hewers, $45 to $60, and
cooks $45. Free board is included in the
above list in every instance. While the
figures for the square timber hewers, $45
to $60 per month, may seem high, it must
be remembered that this branch of the
business is enjoying a boom owing to the
increased demand from the English mar-
ket. - It requires a keen, experienced eye
and a sure trained hand to hew a timber
twelve inches to the side which will pass
the critical eye of the inspector at Quebec.
Men who can do this can command a
fancy figure, as their number is not large
and the demand is increasing,
It is altogether likely that the output of
square timber for the season will be in ex-
cess of that of last season. Fraser &
Company, for instance, will pay almost
exclusive attention to the production of
Square timber on their Coulonge limits.
The following firms have already en-
gaged men in Ottawa : Gillies Bros., 200

for the past three months will become more
plentiful and prices will likely drop to some
extent.
The great scarcity of cars has for the
past two weeks seriously interferred with
shipments of lumber to eastern points,
causing considerable loss to the different
mills. The shingle business is brisk and
difficulty is experienced by some mills in
getting a sufficient supply of bolts owing
to the low water in some of the smaller
rivers.
A number of small companies have been
gazetted as being formed to engage in the
shingle business, having been encouraged
by the temporary period of prosperity.
Indications at present are that this branch
of the business is liable to be overdone.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
Buying of lumber for fall requirements
has not yet commenced to any extent.
The local demand is rather quiet, but
still sufficient to take care of all the stock
that is offered. Harvesting operations
are engaging the attention of the farmer,
who, after his crops are housed, will enter
the lumber market to a degree corres-
ponding with the abundance of his crops.
In some. sections the crops have been
damaged by rain, but on the whole an
average yield is promised, and conditions
from a consumer's point of view are
satisfactory. [he present prosperity of
the lumber business is likely to continue
for another year at least.
The chief activity is confined to clear
lumber, shingles and lath. A scarcity of
the best grades of pine has prevailed all
season, and from time to time advances
in price have been put into effect by~ the
Retail dealers state
that the frequent advances have been the
cause of much dissatisfaction, as they felt
manufacturers.
that under the circumstances they were
not in a position to quote prices to con-
sumers excepting for immediate delivery.
The higher prices have in a slight degree
curtailed the demand for lumber for
building purposes. Considering the sea
son of the year, lath prices are firm.
Most mills are asking from $2.75 to $3.00
for No. 1, although purchases are claimed
to have been made recently at $2.50. The
wholesale price in Toronto is about $3.50.
Shingles are holding steady at $3.25
for best grade wholesale in Toronto.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
With an estimated crop of wheat of 60,-
000,000 bushels in Manitoba and the
Territories this year, the business com-
munity takes a hopeful view of the situa-
tion. Lumber is being purchased freely
for present and prospective requirements,
and prices promise to further advance in
the near future. The consumer or dealer
who buys at current prices is likely to find
himself on the right side of the market.
British Columbia lumber is firm. Fir logs
have recently advanced in price. Red
cedar shingles are steady, in contrast to
the weakness which prevails in Washing-
ton.
UNITED STATES.
With a slightly smaller volume of trade,
the lumber market of the United States
has maintained its strength. The past
week has been quite eventful, several
associations having taken action regard-
ing price lists.
According to the new

Association on
GREAT BRITAIN.
The tone of the British timber market
continues very good. The import has
been on a moderate scale, and appear-
ances point to firm prices throughout the
year. Reports of a short supply have at
last influenced importers, who are not
disposed to delay the placing of orders.
Canadian pine déals of first quality are
very Scarce, while the supply of the lower
grades is plentiful. At Liverpool the
maximum quotation for best quality is £28
per standard. Of the spruce market a
recent report from Liverpool, says :
“Unless the unforeseen happens, we think
the spruce market has seen its worst for
this season ; the pressure to sell steamers
“to arrive’ has been relaxed, and the
attitude of the shipper is now one of com-
placency.” Advices from London are not
so assuring, as the following from the
Timber News, would indicate : ‘‘ Several
sales have taken place in spruce deals
from the docks during the last week, at
varying prices.

of 3rd 3 by 9 12/13ft. at £9 7s 6d, it would
appear that goods are to be purchased at

cost price—at any rate, the sellers can
only have made the ‘‘ handsome” profit
of 2s 6d per standard. The majority of
contracts for deals are based on £9 125
6d to £9 15s for 3 by 9 3rd spruce, and
£10 2s 6d to £10 5s for second quality in
dock.”” The best information, however,
is to the effect that spruce prices are more
likely to advance than to

STOCKS AND PRICES.
Messrs. Reid & Company, Esplanade
street, Toronto, are still in the market for
4x4 cedar, 10 to 16 feet in length.
At an auction sale held by Foy, Morgan
& Company, London, Eng., recently,
waney ash, 8-21 feet long, 14-20 inches in
diameter, brought 8d per cube ; waney
elm, 16-26 ft. long, 14-19 inches diameter,
932d per cube, and American round ash
from 5%4d to 6d per cube.
Stocks cf white pine in Chicago are get-
ing into better shape, but there is no sur-
plus of dry stock there or at the northern
mills. A feature of the trade is the weak-
ness in No. 3 and No, 4 common boards,
which are in better supply. At the same
time there is also a little easiness in short
and narrow piece stuff, which is selling in
Chicago at $15.75 to $16.00.
LUMBER IN THE LAKE SUPERIOR
DISTRICT.
The following extracts from the report
of the secretary of the Mississippi Valley
Lumbermens’ Association contain much
interesting information regarding lumber
stocks and demand :
Sales up to July 1st this year were 11
per cent. less than during the same time
last year, or 1,132,218,890 feet as com-
pared with 1,258,980,473, but they are 25
per cent. larger than during the same
months of 1900, when the total was
903,228,163 feet. The apparent decrease
this year is almost entirely due to the
shortage of the stock. Shipments have
been so much greater than the production
for the past three years that the time was
finally reached when sales were of
necessity restricted because of scarcity of
lumber. For the past five months the
majority of our members have been unable
to fill more than from 50 to 75 per cent. of
the orders offered. There is little doubt
but that shipments would have nearly
ecualled the high record of last year had
there been as much stock in shipping
condition.
Stocks of lumber held by the manu-
facturers of the Mississippi and Wisconsin
valleys on August 1, 1900, were 11 per
cent. less than those on hand August 1,
1899.
On August 1, 1901, stocks were 7 per
cent. less than those on hand August
I, 1900.
On August 1, this year, stocks of lum-
ber were 7 per cent. less than those on
hand same date last year. This makes
a total percentage of shortage August 1,
1902, over the same date 1899 of 25 per
cent. These percentages were based
upon comparative reports from practically
the same firms each year.
On January 1 this year stocks were 16
per cent. less than those on January ie
1901, as shown by the annual inventories.
Lath to-day is 35 per cent. more than
the amount on hand August 1 last year.
Shingles are to-day 26 per cent. less
than the amount on hand August 1, last
year.
On January 1, this year, dimension con-
stituted 24.9 per cent. of the whole amount
of lumber on hand, which was a decrease
of 5.8 per cent. over the proportion of
dimension on hand the year previous, as
shown by the inventories.
On August rst the stock of dimension
carried by our members was 61,450,000
feet less than that carried by them on
August 1 last year. On January rst the
total stock of dimension was 286,006,513
feet. This shortage would indicate that
. there need be no fear of any accumulation
of piece stuff of northern pine this year.
It also indicates that there is an increas-
ing percentage of inch stuff being sawed,
largely due to the higher price for the
latter.
On account of the deterioration of
standing timber there is an increasing
percentage of low grade stock being ob-
tained, and there must consequently be an
increasing discrepancy between the prices
of common and better grades.
Our reports show that the members of
this association will produce about the
same amount of lumber that was sawed
last year, provided conditions are favor-
able from now to the end of the season.
There are a number of mills which will
saw considerably less, as a few which last
year sawed both night and day are now
sawing but day only, but this decrease is
offset by small increased estimates by
thany other mills. It is not at all likely
that the production will be any greater
than it was last year.
TRADE OPENINGS.
An eastern firm desires to purchase
several carloads of hard maple logs from
22 to 27 inches in diameter and 10 to 12
feet long.
A letter from the Canadian secretary of
the Wolverhampton Exhibition of Arts
and Industries has been forwarded to the
Manufacturers Association in Toronto,
through the Department of Trade and
Commerce, which states that large con-
tractors in Bombay are very anxious to
obtain a Canadian hardwood suitable for
flooring which the white ants cannot
penetrate. The secretary would be very
glad to receive samples of wood for in-
spection.
F. K. Lyons, agent for L. W. Bates, of
London, England, who bas a contract for
extensive harbor improvements to be
made at Shanghai by the Chinese govern-
ment, is touring the Pacific Coast, confer-
ring with lumber manufacturers in regard
to a heavy order for shipment to Shanghai.
The order will include piling, sheeting and
heavy timbers. The main work will be
the erection of extensive wharves and
docks along the river front, and these are
to be sheathed up in a substantial manner.

THE GLASGOW MARKET.
Wright, Graham & Company, in their
report of July grst, give the following par-
ticulars of the Glasgow timber market:
During the latter half of the month just
ended business has been practically at a
standstill, the local mills and yards having
been closed for the annual holidays, and
buyers are only now beginning to resume
work again. A moderate amount of busi-
ness was done in the early part of the
month and prices have kept firm. The
cabinet trade continues dull, but both the
shipbuilding and housebuilding trades are
doing a good steady business.
Waney Boarpwoop. — The demand
holds strong, and stock is very light.
Prices are much the same as before,
prime wood of long average length having
been sold at 3s. to 3s. 6d. per cubic foot;
second-class stock is quoted at 2s. 3d. to
2s. od. per cubic foot.
Oak Locs. — There is a market for
prime logs of long average length. Prices
are quoted at 3s. to 3s. 3d. per cubic foot.
Logs of poorer size and quality are quoted
at from 2s. 3d. to 2s. 6d. per cubic foot.
Ei_m.—The demand light,
but the price for prime quality logs of good
average length remains firm at 2s. 9d. to
continues
3s. per cubic foot. Parcels of poor speci-
fication and inferior quality are difficult to
sell.
AsH.—The bulk of the stock is held by
consumers. Prices are quoted at about
22d. per cubic foot for 14 in. average, and
2s. to 2s. 2d. per cubic foot for 15 in.
average.
BIRCH, since our last report, has gone
well into consumption, and stocks have
been well reduced.
quoted at about 1s. 6d. for 16 in. average.
Planks of ordinary quality are a drug in
the market;

The price of logs has risen owing to the
increase in wages, which range from $2.50

$3 per day, and the increased demand by
the mills over previous years. Several

TIMBER LIMIT TRANSACTION.
One of the largest transactions in timber
limits that has taken place in Ottawa in
recent years was quietly concluded re-
cently, when the W.C. Edwards Company
purchased from the Arthur Hill Company,
of Saginaw, Michigan, a large limit in the
Temiskaming region, said to contain some
of the best timber in Canada. The pur-
chase price is in the neighborhood otf
$300,000.
CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
There are no visible signs of weakness
in the pine lumber market. All grades
are firm and moving quite actively. Per-
sons who earlier in the year predicted
lower prices have now changed their atti-
tude towards the market, and expect the
sustenance of present prices at least.
Good crops throughout the province have
inspired confidence in a continuance of
business prosperity. A large manufac-
tnrer who sold his season’s production of
pine lumber early in the season tells us
that he is constantly in receipt of letters
from dealers and customers to the effect
that they would regard it as a favor if he
could supply them with a certain quantity
of lumber. This, perhaps more than any-
thing else, illustrates the strength of the
market. There are practically no large
blocks of lumber that have not passed out
of first hands. Log run pine delivered on
the water's edge of the Georgian Bay has
been sold as high as $23.
The activity in hardwoods is looked
upon in a very favorable light. There
will doubtless be a heavy consumption of
hardwood lumber this fall for building and
factory purposes, and the supply of stock
will be none too great to go round.
Some of the standard varieties are likely
to witness a further advance.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
There has been quite active buying of
spruce lumber of late and the mills will
likely go into the winter with very light
stocks. Prices have gradually strength-
ened and are now at a point where they
represent a fair margin of profit to manu-
facturers. Shipments from Montreal to
the British market are quite active, al-
though the total for the season will prob-
ably show a falling off as compared with
last year. In spruce clapboards we find
an extraordinary condition of aftairs. The
supply is insufficient to meet the demand;
in fact there is something closely resemb-
ling a dearth. Where the supply for the
fall and winter trade will come from is a
question. Shingles continue strong on the
basis of $3.50 to $3.60 for extras on
Boston freight rate. It is predicted that
there will be an advance in cedar shingles
in September, when dealers commence to
buy for the fall trade.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,
The active building movement in all
parts of the west has created a demand
for lumber which mills have much difficulty
in meeting. So great has been the pres-
sure upon stocks that prices have again
advanced and are now $1 per thousand
ttt tt
Il,
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
higher for all kinds of white pine, red pine
and British Columbia Jumber. Lath has
also advanced to the extent of 25 cents per
thousand, making the wholesale price in
Wir ipeg now $4.00.
mills ve very busy, but logging operations
are sill handicapped by the scarcity of
men,
British Columbia
UNITED STATES.
The conditions outlined in last issue still
prevail. Wholesale dealers could do a
little more business, but still their sales
are greater than is usual in midsummer.
The recent advances put into effect are
being easily sustained. Wide box lumber
is a good seller in the eastern markets.
Building at Buffalo and Tonawanda is
quite brisk and has had a good effect
upon the market. A few Michigan dealers
report that it is not so difficult to pick up
lumber. at manufacturing points as it was
in the spring. This, however, might be
expected after the mills have been in oper-
ation for several months. Spruce lumber
is strong and quite active. On frames
prices are being well sustained. On an
easy schedule there aresmall mills ready
to concede a little in price, but the large
producers refuse to give way except in the
case of random, which is weak. Hemlock
is steady at last quotations. Hardwood
lumber is showing considerable life and
will probably be somewhat -higher before
many weeks. The demand for cedar
shingles is quite heavy. There has been
no cutting of prices except by one or two
of the small manufacturers. This is almost
remarkable for the season of the year, as
it has been quite customary for weakness"
to exhibit itself during the months of July
and August. It is predicted that shingles
will advance next month, as the stock in
the hands of manufacturers is practically
of no account. Lath is moving quite free-
ly without any great exertion on the part
of the seller.
GREAT BRITAIN.
Lumber prices in the British market con-
tinue to show a hardening tendency.
Business is progressing favorably, and in-
dications point to a firm market through-
out the year. The statistical position of
the timber in the London public docks is a
very strong one, all classes of lumber
showing a decrease as compared with the
stock on hand August 1, s901. The de-
creases are as follows: Pine deals, 132,610
pieces; pine battens, 25,080 pieces; spruce
deals, 171,590 pieces; spruce battens, 119,-
458 pieces. There is a decided shortage
in the supply of the upper grades. At the
Millwall Docks pine deals show an in-
crease of about 650 standards. The be-
lief is growing that the falling off in the
importations this year will represent a
larger percentage than was at first expect-
ed, whereupon certain importers are spec-
ulating in deals and battens for fall ship-
ment. Higher prices are anticipated at
Liverpool. The best quality of pine deals
are selling readily at high figures, but the
poorer grades move slowly. The stock of
waney pine and first-class oak at Liver-
pool is lighter than has been known for
some time. Birch logs continue firm in
price.

point. There is hardly a mill in the coun-
try running, being closed down either for
Jack of logs or rather than see stock mil-
dew just as soon as it is placed in the
yard. At present it looks as if the price
of No. 1 stave will #pproach the present
price of hoops before the season is over.
The difficulty this season will not be to
get enough hoops, but to get enough
staves for the trade. Hoops are a little
easier, slaves are going up, while heading
remains about the same.
We quote from the market report of
S. P. Musson, Son & Company, Barba-
does, under date of August 2nd, as fol-
lows : There have been no further arrivals
of white pine since our last, and a small
cargo will probably bring fair prices. In
spruce, the ‘‘Civilian’ arrived from
Tusket, N.S., on 2ist ult., with 94,000
feet, which was placed at $19.60. The de-
mand is very limited at present. The
Civilian had a small lot of 22,000 laying
spruce shingles, extra good quatity, which
were sold at $2.21. A cargo of cedar by
the ‘‘Lizzie Lindsay” was placed at
$4.07 to $3.67% for long; $6.27 for 5-
inch ; $7.27 for 6-inch; and $8.27 for 7-inch.
Spruce deals,say the Timber Trades Jour-
nal, keep on their recent firm basis of £7
78. 6d. c.i.f. for common run of a mill,
with corresponding increase for better
specifications and assortments. Whilst on
the subject of spruce deals, we may say
David Roberts, Son & Co., Ltd., of this
port, have just received a shipment of Rou-
manian spruce, chiefly 3x11 and 3x09, and
of an extraordinary long average length,
some running up to 32 ft. We saw some
going though the planing machine and they
come out with clear and satiny surface.
These were being prepared for one of the
Liverpool liners which has been chartered
by the Government for five years for trans-
port duty. As these fixtures will be per-
manent until the time charter is over, it
speaks well for the quality of the new im-
port. We hear, however, that the brok-
ers are already asking a large advance
in price, which in general opinion is likely
to strangie the baby in its birth.
WAGON OAK.
Considerable activity marks the railway
carriage and wagon building trade in
the Midlands, says the Timber Trades
Journal, of London, Eng. Orders, we
learn from a good source, have come in
from the chief foreign countries, some of
which had previously been delayed owing
to political complications. It is estimated
that foreign orders worth £120,000 have
come in by the last one or two mails,
while recent gcvernment and other South
African requirements wll make up an
addiional £100,000. The home railways
are also in the market for rolling stock.
Oak being so largely used in railway
carriage and waggon building, it is not
surprising to find that prices both for
Baltic hewn oak logs and for American
white oak scantlings have advanced.
Of the tormer, stocks at Danzig and
Stettin are within unusually small com-
pass, and the knowledge that one of the
large English railroads were on the mar-
ket with large inquiries led to shippers
promptly advancing prices. With short
stocks and higher prices at the Baltic
ports the question of obtaining supplies
from Odessa is one which is being urged’
by agents representing interests in that
port. As regards American white oak
scantlings, shippers appear to be very
much behind hand with their contracts,
owing to the scarcity of stock, and for
further orders for prime planks advanced
prices are being asked.
LONDON IMPORTS OF TIMBER.
Churchill & Sim say: From the St.
Lawrence the arrivals have been: Pine
deals, 712,000 pieces, against 1,005,000
pieces in 1901; spruce deals, 777,000 pcs.,
against 1,443,000 pieces’ in 1901. From
New Brunswick and Nova Srotia: Pine
deals, 90,000 pieces, against 176,000
pieces in 1901;~ spruce deals, 119,000
pieces, against 244,000 pieces in 1901;
birch planks, 79,000 pieces, against 108,-
000 pieces in 1901. The importation of
pine and spruce to this market has been
very much reduced by the great demand
elsewhere in the United Kingdom, and es-

pecially in America. Pine deals have been
a quiet market, and prices have hardly
moved except for the very best descrip-
tions, which show some slight improve-
ment. Spruce has been eagerly competed
for at higher prices, and the small quanti-
ties available have mostly gone direct into
consumption, leaving the stock in the
docks a very small one. The position of
hardwoods has slightly improved during
the month, and the stocks have been re-
freshed by a few importations.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,
The lumber trade has been influenced
by the assurance of good crops, and
prices in one or two instances have
further appreciated. While the better
grades of pine lumber have been out of
the market for some time, the same con-
diticn is now being experienced in respect
to some of the lower grades. Such a
situation at this season of the year, when
stocks usually accumulate, is almost un-
precedented® and has created a very
general opinion that lower prices will not
be witnessed this year at least. Whole-
sale and retail dealers are buying for
requirements and are not waiting in the
expectation of obtaining better terms.
It is said that preparations are being
made for extensive operations in the
woods this winter, but the excessive cost
of labor and supplies is likely to prevent
a large increase over the production of
last season.
Manufacturers of flooring have ad-
vanced prices from $1 to $2 per thousand,
to correspond with the higher values
ruling in the United States. In Toronto
retail trade is quite active, but prices on
the best grades are lower accordingly
than in any other market.
Among the hardwoods oak and _ bass-
wood lead. Both kinds are in short
supply and likely to advance in price.
Shingles and lath are steady, with some
manufacturers asking $1.85 for XX pine
shingles at the mill.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
Weather conditions are most favorable
for harvesting operations in Manitoba
and the North-west Territories, and the
prediction of an abundant yield of grain
is certain to be realized.

demand is gradually expanding and
promises to be exceptionally large. The
prosperity of the surrounding country is
indicated by the volume of building

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
August 27, 1902
The present movement indicates an
active trade later in the season, to meet
which retail dealers are now stocking up
quite heavily. Green lumber is being
shipped from Duluth, not only of the
best grades, but of the poorer qualities
also. The features of the past week
have been an increased scarcity of piece
stuff and an improved demand for low
grade boards. At Buffalo cuts, barn
boards and box are strong and moving
in considerable quantities, with prospects
ofan advance in price before long. Dealers
in Norway say that they are getting fully
one dollar more than a month ago, and
believe that the demand will be good
enough to maintain it. Wholesale and
retail dealers are stocking up for fall and
winter and are contracting wherever they
can find suitable stock almost regardless
‘of price.
At a meeting of the price list com-
mittee of the North-western Hemlock
Manufacturers’ Association, held at
Marshfield, Wisconsin, last week, all
items of short piece stuff were advanced
from fifty cents to $1 per thousand,
3 inch hemlock plank $1, and timbers
~ 50 cents. A price of $3 was established
on No. hemlock lath f.o.b. Wausau.
The hardwood trade continues steady.
White ash is quiet temporarily “while on
the other hand oak and birch are quick
sellers at firm prices. A considerable
quantity of timber is being used at
Buffalo for piling.
Shingle prices have improved. The
Duluth price for red cedar shingles is
$2.50. There is a heavy call for white
pine shingles, XXXX being quoted at
$3.60 at Buffalo, where the stock 1s very
light. Eighteen-inch hemlock shingles
are selling at Pittsburg at $3.10. Pine
lath are not so firm.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The tone of the British market is
decidedly firm, and while all classes of
Canadian lumber are in good demand,
exceptionally favorable reports are heard
regarding spruce deals. At a _ recent
auction sale 3 x 9 third quality brought
£9 15s per standard, and 3 x 6 unas-
sorted £7 10s. A large firm of Irish
importers recently made inquiry for a
cargo of New Brunswick spruce deals
and were asked £8 f.o.b. for 11-inch,
18 to 20 feet With freight
added, the price delivered at a British
port wou'd be at least £10 per standard,
an unusually high figure. Owing to the.
light import this season, higher prices
are predicted for the fall months, with
possibly a still higher range of values
next ysar. First quality Quebec waney
pine is almost unobtainable, and im-
porters having any stock are asking
fancy prices. It is probable that the
production of square and waney timber
in Canada during the coming winter will
show an increase over last seison,
although en this point nothing definite js
yet known. Should the producticn be
greatly increased, it would prevent the
advance which will otherwise take place.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CanapA LUMBERMAN.)
Interest in local lumber circles is divided
between the limits and the mills; perhaps
the former obtain a shade the better
of the situation. It is now a settled fact
that the operations on the different limits
during the coming autumn and winter will
be more extensive than for several years
past. It does not need a search-light to

anda study of economic conditions indi-
cates a continued prosperity. Lumber-
men have not been compelled to wander
far from their offices in search of custom-
ers, indeed it has been but a question
of making the supply meet the demand.
A local dealer who recently returned
from a trip through Ottawa Valley towns,
remarked yesterday that he never before
saw such active and extensive prepara-
tions for operations on the limits. A. &

in several cases be cut over.
Another feature is the increased atten-
tion being paid the production of square
timber, On reliable authority it is esti-
mated that fully 2,000,000 cubic feet of
square timber will be taken out during the
season just opened. This will be an
increase of over 500,000 feet on last
season's cut, the largest in years.
The following firms, amongst others,
will engage in the square timber business:
Robert Hurdman, Rideau Lumber Com-
pany, Chas. McCool, M.P., Hull Lumber
Shepard & Morse Lumber
Fraser & Company, J. R.
Booth and Edward Moore, of Ottawa,
and R. H. Klock, Mattawa.

from that business.
Considerable difficulty is being ex-
perienced in securing men capable of
working on square timber. The decline
in the demand in recent years has caused
the bush and axe men to neglect the fine
points of scoring, marking and hewing,
and now that the services of experienced
men are again in demand the number is
reduced and wages have advanced
accordingly.
While opinions conflict in some degree
as to the state of the local lumber markets,
itis agreed that prices have suffered no
change with the exception mentioned in
the last letter of hardwood. Ash and
basswood have gained additional favor
and prices have advanced a degree.

of vacation slackness, officials of both the

BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
(Correspondence of the Ca NADA I,UMBERMAN,)
During the past six months a number of
American lumbermen have had their
eruisers in the unoccupied timber lands of
British Columbia, presumably for the pur-
pose of securing Jimits to supply the mills
“which they contemplated building on this
side of the line or to provide a supply for
their mills in Washington should the Pro-
vincial Government revoke the act prohib-
iting the exportation of logs from
British Columbia, Although these cruisers
found considerable areas of timber lands
accessible to the water, very few limits
were taken up or purchased, as there was
no likelihood of the act above spoken of
being revoked, and the mills now in
operation in British Columbia are more
than sufficient to supply the Canadian
market. If new mills were built their
product would for the most part have to
find a market in the United States, and
the tariff, now almost prohibitory,
might in the future be raised and the mills
would then be thrown out of business. If
British Columbia manufacturers had
free entry into the United States
markets itis safe to venture the assertion
that the number of mills in operation here
would be quadrupled within two years,
and plenty of accessible cedar would be
found to supply them for many years.
By ‘‘accessible cedar” is meant that
now adjacent to salt water and which can
be put in the water under the present
system of logging and the prices prevail-
ing for logs. Under present prices which
mill men are able to pay for logs, the
latter must be so near the water that
donkey engines and horses are sufficient
plant to put them in at a profit. As prices
advance railroads will be added to the
plant and Jarge areas of timber inacces-
sible uuder present conditions will become
accessible. -A large portion, in fact the
greater portion of the best timber areas .
now accessible to the water,is held by the
large mill companies here, and although
there is a large amount of timber lands -
not taken up, they are individually
of small area and scattered.
The statement recently published that
American lumbermen were unable to find
any quantity of accessible cedar in British
Cojumbia is largely incorrect. The real.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
Two months ago it was predicted that
prices of white pine lumber had reached
the top notch for the present movement
at least. Since that time the situation
has steadily grown stronger, a few grades
have advanced in price, and there prom-
ises to be witnessed a further apprecia-
tion in lumber prices generally. The
flourishing condition of the country at
large, and of manufacturing enterprises
in particular, augurs well for a heavy
consumption of lumber during the fall
and winter months. This, coupled with
thé pronounced shortage of stock, is the
basis of the present hopeful feeling in
respect to the future of lumber. It
would seem to be the wisest policy for
buyers of lumber to anticipate their
wants as far as possible for the balance
of the year and place ordeis on the pres-
ent basis of values,as a weaker market is
extremely improbable. Western Ontario
is now furnishing the bulk of the white
pine lumber handled in the Saginaw
valley, and dealers in that district are
stillin the market for stock. The demand
for large blocks of lumber has this sea-
son been so heavy that dealers in car
lots have found it extremely difficult to
obtain the lumber required to supply
their customers. Some Toronto dealers
report that they have been compelled to
refuse orders for this reason. There will
doubtless be much ‘activity in the woods
this winter, with large blocks of stock
taken out on contract for the purpose
of supplying United States dealers.
Hardwood stocks are becoming re-
duced toa low point, and it is almost
surprising that prices have not advanced
to.a greater extent. As the true situa-
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
Septenrber 3, 1902
tion becomes more generally recognized
a sharp advance in some lines of hard-
woods may be expected, The scarcity
of basswood still continues.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The spruce market is exceptionally
strong. When the mills close down for
the season they will be carrying very
little stock that has not been contracted
for. The low freight rates have enabled
shippers to place lumber on the British
market at a comparatively low figure.
Prices of square and waney timber are
unchanged. The figures showing the
quantity which has reached Quebec this
season will be found in another column.
The proposed improvements to Quebec
harbor, on which tenders have just been
taken, will cost upwards of one million
dollars, and will call for considerable
large timber.
UNITED STATES.
The slight weakness incident to the
summer months has passed away, and
now that the harvest is almest over the
demand for lumber is increasing and
promises to assume large preportions
during the fall months. The effect on
the lumber trade of the abundant harvest of
corn and the smaller grains overshadows
all other features and assures another
year at least of general commercial
prosperity. It is evident from the
volume of trade that this is the view
taken by dealers and consumers. White
pine leads all other classes of lumber,
Sales are being made at the quotations
last given, although a slight weakness
has exhibited itself in low grade inch
pine, and the better grades show a tend-
ency to advance. Itis not unusual for deal-
ers to ask an advance of from $1 to $2 per
thousand over list quotations on selects
and uppers, At Toledo, Ohio, No. 4
boards show increased strength, while
Norway is selling at an advance of $1,
and some dealers have advanced hemlock
prices 50 cents. There is a tendency on
the part of buyers of hemlock to want
special widths and sizes instead of buying
it merchantable, as has been the rule
in the past. It 1s expected that Buffalo
and Tonawanda dealers will put outa
list within a week making an advance of
50 cents on hemlock, the supply of
which seems to be growing shorter every
day. The base price will then be $15.50.
Spruce continues in strong de-
mand. Prices are unchanged, although
the rush of orders now reported is likely
to bring about an early advance. All
grades of hardwood lumber are moving
actively. A New York dealer reports
that he is selling cull hardwoods ata
higher price than ever before. Bass-
wood ani maple are holding the strong
position they recently acquired, while
there is less complaint of a shortage of
oak than there was two months ago.
The tone of the shingle and lath market
is in line with lumber. The building
trade throughout the Eastern States is
exceptionally active and is consuming
large quantities of shingle and lath as
well as lumber. No. 1 white pine lath
are quoted as high as $4 at Tonawanda.
In Chicago the price is given as $3.50.
GREAT BRITAIN.
Steadiness characterizes the British
timber market. Wet weather has inter-
fered with house building and other out-
door operations, but the volume of busi-
ness in lumber, has been sufficient to
maintain prices. Information recently
received that prices of Swedish lumber
had been advanced exerted a favorable
influence upon the market. Prices
realized at auction sales in August show
conclusively that there is a strong de-
mand for the better qualities cf Canadian
lumber. As imports for the balance of
the season are expected to be light, it is
believed that there will be no difficulty in
holding the present range of prices
throughout the year. Favorable reports
are still chronicled regarding spruce
lumber. Writing of the Liverpool market
a correspondent of the Timber Trades
Journal says: ‘‘ The spruce market is
still in the same firm position ; some
shippers are pretty well sold out, and
what they possess they purpose holding
until the autumn or winter shipments are
to be made by the liners. Judging from
advices we have from abroad and from
the attitude here, the position of the
spruce market is likely to be maintained
for the remainder of the season, if indeed
an advance is not made. This will cer-
tainly be the case for cargoes in sailing
vessels as soon as the prohikition of
carrying deck loads comes in vogue,”
In London the market shows signs of
coming strength, current quotations for
Quebec third quality spruce being £9 15s
c.i.f, and for 3 x 7 and 8 £7 5s to £7
Ios, according to specification.

ing. The amount involved in the deal is
about $500,000. Ferguson Bros. are to
cut the pine from a tract of timber ot 20,-
000 acres on the Dead River, northwest
of Marquette. Itis estimated that there is
about 50,000,000 to 60,000,000 feet of pine
inthe tract. The pine will be sawed at
Marquette and distributed from there.

Of the Barbadoes lumber market
Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Company,
in their report of August 16th, Say :
““There have been no arrivals of either
white pine or spruce within the fortnight.
The demand, as usual at this season of
the year, is very limited, but a small
cargo of suitable white pine would prob-
ably bring fair prices. Spruce will not be
wanted to any extent until later in the
year, but a small cargo might be placed
at about late rates. The only arrival in
shingles is 134,000 by the “ Resolute”
from Gaspe, Que., of which 79,000 of
Spruce Laying were sold at $2.25%4, and
55,000 Cedar Laying at same price.
SPRUCE IN NEW YORK.
The following reference to the spruce
lumber market of New York is interesting :
The spruce market perhaps more than
any other is a shining example of present
conditions in the wholesale market, while
its prevailing features are based on actual
conditions from sources of supply to con-
suming centres rather than on any outside

causes. In conversation with a local
Eastern Spruce house last week they
said ;
“Spruce is a bull situation from top to
bottom and unless all signs fail we will
see the highest price for spruce lumber
and logs before snow flies that we have
ever known. There is a short log supply
at the mills, while conditions in the con-
suming markets are such that manufac-
turers and commission men are getting
any price within reason for their lumber.
It is not a question of price but simply of
being able to furnish the material, and,
even if the demand should fall off more than
one half during the next three months, the
conditions are such at producmg sources
- that the highest average price will result
just the same. We have had the biggest
business this year that we have ever had.
We have had the highest average price
for our lumber that we have ever had, and
yet with all this the market to all appear-
ances, throughout all this season,has been
a dull one and it has been necessary for
us to go after the business as hard as in
ordinary times, and yet we have had these
results.”
This is, indeed, a singular condition,
but nevertheless a true one, and while the
same conditions have been experienced in
other lumber, they have not been so pro-
nounced as in the spruce market. As a
matter of fact the largest amount of busi-
ness and the highest average price which
has been obtained by the manufacturers
cannot in reality be harmonius with a dull
market, and yet that is just what has hap-
pened and makes the why and wherefore
doubly hard to figure out.
The arrival of Eastern Spruce continues
light, but what was arriving at last reports
was selling promptly at $17 to $18.50 for
narrow random, $18.50 to $21 for wide
random, and $20 to $23 for special orders,
with lath firm at $3 to $3.25, with an up-
ward tendency. The arrivals of random
cargoes from now on will be light, as
those firms owning mills are sawing noth-
ing but special orders and will continue
to do so under present conditions, as the
demand for this class of stock is brisk.

strong,
randum
white pine position is very

to 2 in. $82.50 to $85; 2% to 3 in. $87 to
$38; 4-in. $90; selects, 1 in. $68; 1% to

CURRENT TRAD¢ CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
It may seem monotonous to repeat
week after week that the Jumber market
is firm and exhibiting indications of
further advances. Yet the conditions actu-
ally existing cannot be ignored. There
is an underlying current of strength
which bids fair to bring- about higher
prices in some grades at least as soon as
increased activity shall develop. This is
looked for in the near future, as already
the fall movement has commenced in a
slight degree. As new grain is marketed
part of the proceeds therefrom will find
its way to the lumber manufacturer. The
upper grades of white pine have all sea-
son been scarce and in urgent demand.
This condition still exists. Cull lumber
has not been quiet, but the movement
in it has not been 1n line with .the higher
grades. Within the past fortnight this
class of lumber has commenced to move
more freely in both the Canadian and
United States markets. Some manufac-
turers claim that prices must advance, as
wages are high, stumpage advancing,
and men scarce and not disposed to
woik steadily. It is claimed that the
stock of white’ pine lumber will
not be sufficient to supply the demand
from all sources until the cut of next year
is ready for the market. This accounts
in part for the strength of hemlock lum-
ber and the recent advance of $1 in the
price of long stuff.
All classes of hardwoods are firm and
in good demand. The scarcity in birch
and basswood is more pronounced thn
in other hardwoods. The hardwood mar
ket would seem to be almost entirely in
the hands of the manufacturers, who, if
they hold together, will probably be able
to realize materially higher prices before
the end of the year.
Shingles are very scarce and in great
demand. For XXX 10-inch clear butts
$2.75 at the mill is freely paid.
Il
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
September LO, 1902
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The spruce lumber market 1s remark-
ably strong. Inquiries for stock are com-
ing in faster than the orders can be filled,
A favoraple factor is that the buying is
not confined to any one market, the
lumber being wanted for Great Britain,
United States, West Indies and South
America, as well as for home consump-
tion. It is not anticipated that prices will
advance materially, although certain
grades may go higher. Clapboards have
retained their recent advance to $4o to
$42 for extras, Boston delivery. Large
shipments of lath are being made to the
United States. Shingles are firm at re-
cent quotations.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
The lumber demand throughout Mani-
toba and Western Ontario could scarcely
be better. Mills are far behind with
orders and the immediate future promises
no relief. Naturally prices have ad-
vanced. British Columbia lumber has
recently been advanced $1 on eastern
shipments, $2 on foreign shipments and
15 cents on shingles. Freight rates are
weak with a downward tendency, particu-
larly for Australia and South Africa. Ex-
porters are thus enabled to place lumber
on foreign markets at the minimum of
cost. A scarcity of freight cars has inter-
fered with eastern shipments, but the
railroad companies have promised to
remedy this trouble.
UNITED, STATES.
The white pine lumber situation has
changed in one or two respects. Dimen-
sion and norway are exceptionally scarce
and strong, while No. 4 and 5 boards are
slightly weaker, There isa growing feel-
ing that a further advance will take place
in the price of all piece stuff, notwith-
standing that dimension is probably sell-
ing higher than ever in the past. The
weakness in the lower grades of boards Is
not such as to cause alarm, but is prob-
ably due to the fact that wet weather and
delayed farming operations have com-
bined to prevent a large movement of
lumber in the agricultural districts, where
the poorer class of lumber is consumed.
The white pine market as a whole is very
strong, and expectations justify the pre-
diction that trade during the fall will be
unusually active. It is reported that
lumber is being shipped in large quanti-
ties to the striking coal regions, which is
regarded as indicating an early settle-
ment of the strike. Hemlock lumber is
stronger. A new price list went into
effect at Philadelphia on September 2
making an advance of from 50 cents to
$1.50 per thousand and establishing a
new base by excluding the 16-foot
lengths, which are given a price $1
higher. The domestic demand for hard-
woods has made up for the slackness in
export trade. Prices remain firm and are
_ expected to advance with the full advent
of the fall demand, which is now exhibit-
ing itself only ina moderate degree. The
maple flooring market is again quieter.
Shingles and lath are advancing. In the
Saginaw Valley the best grade of pine
shingles is held at $4.25 and 18-inch
white cedar shingles at $3.90 for XXXX.
GREAT BRITAIN.
Further strength has been shown in
lumber prices in Great Britain since our
last report. The advance in spruce
values has come sooner than was antici-
pated, and all grades have been marked
up fully five shillings per standard at
Liverpool. A few lots are still offering at
£8 I5s. c.i.f. London for 3x9 third quality,
but most shippers are obtaining an ad-
vance on these figures ranging from 2s.
6d. to 5s. per standard. At the public
sates £9 15s. has been realized. First-
class pine in all dimensions continues
scarce, whilst 3x9 third quality is com-
manding £11 Iss. c.1.f. Liverpool. Im-
porters who purchased early in the season
have profitted thereby, and are likely to
be further benefitted, as the chance of a
decline in prices is very remote. Birch
timber brought from 32s. to 35s. per load
at a recent auction sale. Staves have
declined from £3 Ios. to £3, but it is pre-
dicted that this weakness will be only
temporary.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
A raft of 6,000 logs containing about
4,000,000 feet recently arrived at Colling-
wood, Ont., for the J. & T. Charlton Saw
Mill Company.
J. R. Booth, of Ottawa, will engage in
the square timber business this winter and
will take out about 150,000 cubic feet on
his Mattawa limits.
The barque Hecla is loading lumber at
Chemainus, B.C., for Australia. The
barque Emma Louisa sailed last week
from Chemainus for Valparaiso with lum-
ber.
The Rathbun Company are reported to
have purchased a block of timber in Burton
township, Haliburton county, from the
Canadian Land Company, which they will
Operato this winter.
Fire in the yard of Bradley, Miller &
Company, Bay City, Mich., last week de-
stroyed 1,000,000 feet of lumber, 3,000,000
pieces of lath, 200,000 shingles and sever-
al hundred feet of deckage.
Chas. Querengesser,of Brodhagen,Ont.,
has formed a syndicate to operate the
timber limits which he recently purchased
in New Ontario. A fortnight ago an
additional 900 acres were purchased. It
is understood that several portable mills
will be operated on the limits this winter.
The Saginaw Lumber & Salt Company,
of Sandwich, Ont., will operate five camps
in the woods this winter. They expect
to take out 5,000,000 feet. Joseph Turner
expects to take out a similar quantity,and
the Moulthrop Lumber Company, of
John’s Island, will take out about 15,000,-
ooo feet.
The Cleveland-Ohio price list on white
pine, adopted a fortnight ago, makes
several changes, including the following :
$19 for 2x 4,6 and 8 inch, 16 feet and
under; $20 for 2 x 10, 18 feet and under ;
$23 for 2x12, 18 feet andunder. For
hemlock $14.50 is named for 2x 4 to 10,
14 feet and under; $15 for 16 foot same
sizes; $17 for 2 x 4 to 2 x 12, 18 foot.
During the month there were re-
ceived at Tonawanda by © vessey
70,000,000 feet of lumber, as com-
pared with 63,000,000 feet for the pre-
ceding month. Shipments of lumber from
the Tonawandas by canal last month ex-
ceeded those of any previous month this
season, being over 30,000,000 feet.
The following reference to the Barba-
does market is furnished by Clairmonte,
Mann .& Company : “‘ Merchantable white
pine is wanted, the last sale being at $26
per thousand. Second quality is in over-
supply and sells at $17.50. The last sale
of spruce was at $19.60. The “ Lizzie
Lindsay” arrived from Gaspe, Que., with
506,000 Long Gaspe cedar shingles.
Sales were made at $3.67% to $4.07 per
M, quality ordinary. Laying shingles are
quoted at $2.25%.
THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
Mr. Charles McCool, M. P., of Nipis-
sing, now a resident of Ottawa, and Mr.
John P. Millar, of Pembroke, have formed
a partnership to conduct lumbering opera-
tions. They have purchased from the
estate of the late J. W. Munro, M. P. P.,
Pembroke, a limit in Whitman township
near Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. The financial
consideration is in the neighborhood of
$150,000, Square timber operations will be
conducted on the new limits. Another deal
involving alarge sum is under consideration.
Other parties are interested in this.
Continued prosperity and a promising
future haye created a revival and an
increased demand for good limits. From
present indications the Ottawa and Oitawa
Valley companies will work every foot of
available territory this season.
Canadian lumbermen are turning their
attention towards the States. Recently
the Read Lumber Company was organiz-
ed in Ottawa to operate in Southern Cali-
fornia. Last week Mr. Charles Warren,
of the Imperial Lumber Company, Toron-
to, returned from Kentucky. He is said
to have secured 3,600 acres of hardwood
lands in that State,which will be operated.
The last number of the Canada Gazette
contained notice of the formation of a new
lumber company with a capital of $500,-
ooo. The members are James H. Sander-
son and Edward Moore, Prince Albert,
N.W.T., and Kenneth McDonald and
Hector McDonald, merchants, Ottawa.
The seat of operations is not mentioned.
J. B. Giroux, of Lefebvre, a village on
the Ottawa River, was yesterday com-
mitted for trial on two charges of ‘‘de-
facing and concealing saw logs.”
It was Ald. Charles Desmaris, of Hull,
not Ald. Charles D'Amour, as previously
announced, who secured the contract for
supplying timber for the new Montreal
harbor works.
Ex-Mayor Bingham, who has charge of
the log drives on the Gatineau, was in the
city to-day. He reports the drives 1
point of number of logs contained ahead
of last year’s. Continued rains facilitated
the work, and the logs were moved some-
what earlier this year than last.

The increased de-

present rise in price, but it is not likely
that further advances will be made fora

unusual happens.

the outlook for the future supply is far
from encouraging. Unless more cars can
be had some of the mills may have to shut
down. The Railway Company claims to
be doing everything possible to relieve the
situation, but as yet little has been done.
Some mills have established slips and are
having Great Northern Railway barges
bring around cars for Ontario shipments.
This will in a small measure relieve the
situation.
The weather continues fine for logging
operations and some new camps are being
established. Wages are still high for
good men, but the supply is more plentiful
since the fishing season has closed. Work
could easily be found in the lumber camps
of British Columbia for four or five hundred
good reliable men, and eastern Canadians
accustomed to such work can find work
at wages ranging from $2.50 to $4.00 per
day. Over fifty per cent. of the men em-
ployed with lumber camps of this province
are very unreliable and are continually
changing from one cump to anoiher.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
A Western Ontario manufacturer, re-
ferring to the lumber market, writes:
‘* Conditions were never brighter in the
lumber trade, and the consumption of lum
ber in Canada and the United States is
enormous.” This is the almost unanimous
opinion of lumbermen, whether manufac-
turer or dealer. In some quarters there is
an inclination to endeavor to prevent
prices from going higher, on the ground
that a further advance would be likely to
check the consumption. That the condi-
tions warrant higher prices, however, can
scarcely be disputed. There will not be
sufficient white pine lumber to meet the
requirements of the market, nor is the
log production of the coming winter
likely to relieve the situation entirely,
as the condition of the labor market
renders it almost impossible to secure
more than an average crop of logs.
Present indications point to a heavy
demand and advancing prices during the
balance of this year. In the Ottawa Val-
ley good wide strips are bringing $39
wholesale and are likely to go to $40
within two weeks. Cutting-up plank also
is likely to advance. Norway has come
into greater favor and sells readily at $13
at the mill. A few mills have a moderate
stock of mill culls and the lower grades
which have not been contracted for, but
the entire production of good lumber may
be said to have passed out of first hands,
Hardwoods are gaining in strength.
Soft elm and maple stocks are more _ plen-
tiful than other kinds, but red oak, black
ash, birch and basswood are scarce and
in good demand, with prospects of higher
prices in the near future.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Spruce lumber prices have hardened
during the past week. There is a heavy
demand for spruce boards and South
American stock, as well as tor British
deals. For spruce boards, 6 inches and
up wide, $13 at the mill is being paid,
while for deals of fair specification con-
tracts have been placed at an equal to $38
delivered at British ports,
prices for a large percentage of 9x 3.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
September 17, 1902
Although the cut of spruce lumber this
year has been, if anything, above the
average, stocks at the present time are
very light, and when the year's contracts
are filled it is predicted that the stocks
carried Over will be the smallest in twenty
years. Manufacturers are finding no
difficulty in obtaining $3.60 for extra ce-
dar shingles on Boston rate of freight.
There have been no recent sales® of
Square or waney timber, and prices re-
main unchanged, but the tendency is to-
wards firmness.
UNITED STATES.
Farmers have commenced to buy lum-
ber liberally, and as during the summer
months the demand was chiefly from the
cities, increased activity has been caused
by the buying throughout the agricultural
districts. Most manufacturers have sold
the greater portion of their cut and will go
into the winter with very light stocks.
The retail demand is expanding and _ indi-
cates that a large consumption of lumber
is expected during the fall and winter
months. It is predicted that a marked
shortage in several lines of white pine will
be experienced. The present scarcity
pertains especially to piece stuff. The
shortage in dimension has already com-
pelled some manufacturers to buy from
others to fill orders. This condition is
certain to result in higher prices for dimen-
sion. The strength of hemlock lumber is
little less than remarkable, but is probably
due to an appreciation of the scarcity of
white pine. In New York last week an ad-
vance of 50 cents in the price of hemlock
was put into effect, while Tonawanda
dealers anticipate that an advance of from
50 cents to $1 on some of the longer
lengths will be made very shortly. _ Buf-
falo retailers held a meeting a few days
ago and adopted a new schedule for hem-
lock on the basis of a $3 advance over the
wholesale price. Spruce is almost as firm
as hemlock. Frames can hardly be
bought in the Boston market at less than
$19, with 10 and 12-inch at $21.
One of the most active hardwoods is
basswood, for which there is a constant
inquiry. The hardwood market as a
whole is firm, with maple somewhat back-
ward.
Red cedar shingles have advanced fif-
teen cents within the last ten days. This
advance has been reflected in a stronger
market for other kinds of shingles. White
pine would be more in favor among deal-
ers but for the scarcity and difficulty in
obtaining a supply. Spruee lath was re-
cently advancsd 25 cents in New York.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The lumber trade of Great Britain have
watched with some interest the result of
the wheat harvest. The prediction that
it would be an exceptionally poor one has
been confirmed, as wet weather through-
out the summer prevented the wheat from
properly maturing. It is not believed that
the poor harvest will materially affect
lumber prices, as the stocks held are not
large and imports continue tobe light.
The decrease in the different classes of
lumber held in the Surrey Commercial
Docks at London on August 31st of this
year, as compared with same date last
year, is as follows :
pieces ; pine battens, 41,086 pieces ;
spruce deals, 300,086 pieces; spruce bat-
tens, 249,808 pieces ; Baltic deals, 300,-
207 pieces; Baltic battens, 1,456,229 pieces;
Baltic prepared board, 5,930,166 pieces ;
slating battens, 2,922,707 pieces. Con-
sidering the wet summer the extent to

ber is concerned, is the light stocks that
all held on this side for shipment to Great
Britain, the result of an increased demand
at home and in the United States. The
best grades of white pine deals are in
splendid demand, prices ranging as high
as $75 per thousand feet. For best quality
spruce deals $38 per thousand feet is be-
ing paid by dealers for Quebec specifica-
tions, and $26 for New Brunswick specifi-
cations. Red pine is showing more life

but the stock is rather heavy.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
The steamer Ancud sailed from Mon-
treal last week for Antwerp, calling at
Three Rivers to take ona quantity of deals.
The steamer Kalford is about to load a
cargo of deals at Quebec for Cork. The
barque C. B. Whidden sailed from Mon-
treal last week for Rosaria, with a cargo
of lumber.
There will be offered for sale by public
auction by the New Brunswick Govern-
ment on September 24th three square miles
of timber limits onthe Eel river, Lower
Bay du Vin,and 4% miles on Mec Donald's
Brook, a branch of the Green river.
The Sutherland-Innes Company, of Chat-
ham, Ont., state that the only change in
the cooperage stock market is for the bet-
ter. They beleive that No.1 staves will be
a little scarce later on, and that the market
for all classes of cooperage stock will ad-
vance considerably before the end of the
year.
At the Crown Lands Office, Fredericton,
N. B., the following timber berths were
sold last week each, going to the applicants
at the upset price of $8 amile. Little

Clairmonte, Man & Company, under date
of August goth, say of the Barbadoes
market: ‘‘There have been no arrivals of
lumber during the fortnight. Merchantable
white pine is wanted, the last sale being
at $26 per M, while second quality is in
over supply and brings $7.50 per M. Last
sale of spruce was at $19.60. The ‘Lizzie
Lindsay” arrived from Gaspe, Que., on
17th with 506,000 shingles. Sales were
made at $3.6734 to $4.07 per M for Gaspe
Long Cedar.”
The Fredericton Boom Company had
rafted upwards of one hundred million feet
of logs of all kinds up to September 1 of
this year. The quantity rafted up to same
date last year was only,81,000,000 feet,and
for the whole of rgot the total was 91,399,-
515. The quantity rafted this season is
made up as follows: 43,942 joints contain-
ing 566.40 tons of timber; 484,120 feet of
hemlock; 6,498,870 feet of cedar; 35343,310
feet of pine ; 93,919,988 feet of spruce;
total 104,245,288 superficial feet.
The cut of timber in the Lake St. John
district of Quebec promises to be larger
during the coming winter than ever before.
Already several large contracts have been

THE GLASGOW MARKEC
According to Edmiston & Mitchells’
monthly timber circular, a fairly active
business was done in Glasgow during the
month of August, both on an ‘ ex quay”
and an ‘‘ex yard” basis, and values have
been well maintained throughout. The
consumption generally continues on a
satisfactory scale, and, as the import to
date has been very moderate, the market
is strong all round. First quality white
pine deals and sidings are in good demand,
but for lower qualities there is not much
enquiry. The housebuilding trade still
continues in an active condi ion, and the
prospects for the autumn and winter are
fairly good.
WuiTE PINE—The imperts during the
month consist of about 5000 loads, chiefly
first-class waney. Some good lines of
first-class waney deckwood have been
placed ‘‘ex ship’ at prices ranging from
3s 2d to 3s 5d per cubic foot, according
difficult to
move ; prices, however, are firm at 2s
to size. Square timber is
6d to 2s 9d per cubic feot for 800 to 1000
feet per page.
RED PINE—The
about 500 loads, and coming on a light
import consists of
stock it will meet with a ready sale, as
there are some good enquiries at present
in the market. Prices are firm at- from
Is gd to 2s per cubic foot, according to
size.
Oak—There has been an import of
about 2200 loads, chiefly on contract.
There is a fair demand and prices are
firm at 3s to 3s 6d per cubie foot, accord-
ing to specification.
ELM—The import during the month
has been about 1800 loads. A number of
sales are reported at firm prices, and
prospects for first-class rock elm are
good, though inferior timber is difficult
to sell.
BIRCH — Quebec — The imports for
August amount to about 4oo logs and
130 loads planks, some of which were
sold ‘ex quay” at prices which could
not be satisfactory to shippers, but the
bulk of the import found its Way into

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
Stocking up for fall and winter trade is
now in full swing. Assortments in the
hands of retailers are broken and must be
replenished if the requirements of cus-
tomers are to be supplied. At the mills
there is no surplus in any class of lumber.
Hemlock and hardwoods, which were
relatively quiet early in the year, gradually
strengthened in sympathy with white pine,
and are now equally as firmin price. The
advances that have been put into effect in
the distributing centres of the Eastern
States have encouraged the mill men of
this province to hold what little stock they
have for still higher prices. The strong
position held by white pine is shown by
the fact that one hundred million feet of
lumber has this season been shipped from
Western Ontario to Saginaw and Bay
City.
Many of the mills in Ontario will cease
Operations for the season this month,
while others will discontinue night crews.
Thus the quantity of stock manufactured
from now on will be comparatively small.
A dearth of white pine shingles is looked
for this winter and prices are likely to ad-
vance.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The strong position of spruce lumber is
now recognized by both buyer and seller.
There may not be sufficient stock to sup-
ply orders, and if prices should change it
will be in the direction of an advance.
Spruce clapboards are selling at $42 on
Boston freight rate, and best quality cedar
shingles at $3.65. The buying for fall
trade has emphasized the scarcity which
has existed nearly all season in certain
classes of stock.
The timber market is unusually firm,
notwithstanding that up to September
23rd of this year the quantity of waney
pine culled at Quebec was 240,000 feet
greater than for same period last year.
The quantity of oak is about 40,000 cabic
feet greater, but white pine, red pine, elm,

UNITED STATES.
The high prices of lumber are not re-
garded with favor by the agricultural com-
munity. The demand in the farming dis-
tricts has shown a falling off during the
past week, as farmers have been engaged
at
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
with their crop and are not much disposed
to atcept present prices excepting for
such lumber as is urgently required. Apart
from the country demand the lumber trade
is in excellent condition. Throughout the
Eastern States the activity is pronounced
and the
One of the best indications of the prevail-
ing strength are the advances that have
been made inthe Albany and Bay City
price lists. Our Albany correspondent has
marked up all good lumber about $5 per
thousand, while in the Bay City and Sagi-
naw list all grades down to barn boards
have been advanced, The scarcity of
white pine lumber is pronounced. The
mills bave much less stock than usual at
this season of the year, and wholesale and
market exceptionally strong.
retail dealers are not carrying more than
an average supply. In Chicago prices
are firmer than they have been since the
opening of navigation. Sales of short
pine piece stuff in cargo lots have been
made at $16, and of hemlock piece stuff at
from $11 to $11.50, with $12.50 for inch.
Buffalo dealers are asking $20 for 12 inch
box and $40 for inch No. 1 cuts. The
recent advance in hemlock has not checked
the demand. At Boston $17 is the base
price on plank, with $18.50 for No. 1 and
$15.50 for No. 2.
Hardwood salesmen find no difficulty in
placing stock. Maple, elm and basswood
are goed sellers throughout the Eastern
States. Shingles have stiffened in price.
GREAT BRITAIN.
There is no real change to record in
the tone of the British market since our
last report. Notwithstanding that at
recent auction sales prices were not in all
cases sustained, there is a widespread
beliet that prices for next year’s shipments
will show a further advance. The import
of sawn timber to the United Kingdom for
the eight
30,000 standards less than for the same
period last year. Importers are endeavor-
ng to discourage a further advance in
prices, but so far as Canadian lumber is
months of this year is some
concerned, the conditions seem to favor a
higher range of values. In the London
market Quebec waney pine is unobtain-
able in any quantity, and there are numer-
ous inquiries for stock from the various
shipbuilding centres and around the coast
generally. Quebec oak also is scarce,and
dear. First quality pine deals
steady, after having advanced about £3
per standard during the season. The
market for the lower qualities of deals is
stronger, for the reason that the import
has been lighter. Holders of spruce
stocks are not pressing sales, as they be-
remain
lieve that it will be impossible to replace
their supply at lower prices.

BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CANADA I,UMBERMAN).
Reports from time to time have appear™
ed in the press as to the alleged combine
which exists among the Pacific Coast saw
mills in dealing with foreign shipments by
water. It is true that there is an agree-
ment among the mill-owners of the States
of Washington,
and those of British Columbia to sell by
price list. During the
Oregon and California
the recognized
past two years or more, prices were so
demoralized that the average price of
lumber for shipment by water was between
$7 and $8, consequently many of the
mills barely cleared expenses and some of
them lost money. Had such a state of
affairs continued, many of the mills would
have been forced to the wall and a large
number of men thrown out of employment.
During the spring a joint meeting of
all the mills engaged in foreign shipping
was held in Seattle to adjust affairs. It
was estimated that the shipments by
water during 1902 would total 300,000,000
feet. It then agreed to have all
orders apportioned among the different
mills according to their cutting capacity
and a schedule was struck for the
different mills. It was also provided that
was
any manufacturer wishing to cut more
than his apportionment could buy ‘of ‘the
cut of other manufacturers who did not
wish to do the full amount. It was not
compulsory for any one mill to cut not
less than their apportionment, but any mill
which cut more had to pay a certain per-
centage per thousand feet into the general
fund, which will be distributed according
to a ratio among the mills who did not
cut their allotted share.
The agreement so far has worked very
satisfactory and prices are now such that
a reasonable dividend can be made on the
capital invested. The mills are all running
full time and labor is higher, with the
consequent raise in the price of lumber.
The agreement is more of a moral nature
than anything else and it is overstepping
the mark to state that a hard and fast
combine exists in the general sense of the
term.
The local and interior markets are good
and shipments are moving more rapidly
owing toa better supply of cars. The
weather is exceptionally fine for this time
of year and logging operations are pro-
gressing favorably, although logs are yet
somewhat scarce owing to the large cut
of the mills. There likelihood of
some trouble arising among the mills
catering to local trade and the Teamsters’
Union of the City ot Vancouver. The
latter have delivered an ultimatum to the
mills to the effect that a certain wage be
paid and that no discharges be made of
men without consulting the Union. The
mills will hght the matter to the end, and
have taken united action against what
they term unfairness on the part of the
is a
unions.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
The demand for shantymen in Ottawa
is greatly in excess of the supply, and
agents have been forced to make a tour
This
week one agent went as far as Gaspe,
Que., to secure men for Mr. J. R. Booth’s
Georgian Bay shanties. Nearly every
firm, Canadian and American, operating
within railroad distance of Ottawa, has
commissioned local agents to
men. The latter receive as a rule a
dollar a man, and in their eagerness to

stations looking for eligible men who may

were tempted from one camp to another
by the promise of higher pay.
The statement recently published in a
local paper that over $2,000,000 has
changed hands within the last year in the
transfer of timber limits, caused consider-
able comment, but men in a position to
know agreed that the figure was about
correct. Further negotiations are pend-
ing and a deal or two may be announced
this week.
Mr. Jas. Klock, ex-M. P., has bought
out the interests of his brother in limits on
the Quinze river, in the Temiscamingue
district, and will operate there for square
timber. Gordon Bros., of Pembroke,
will also transfer their attention to the
Temiscamingue country and operate
there on a large scale.
While opinion 1s divided, it seems to be
pretty well understood that with favor-
able natural conditions this season's out-
put of logs will equal that of last year,
despite the advance in wages, price of
supplies, etc.
His friends in the lumber trade will
sympathize with Mr. E. T. Smith, Col-
lector of Revenue in the Public Works
. Department, in the death of his wife, °
who passed away after a brief illness
a few days ago.

THE BOSTON MARKET.
There is a fair demand at Boston for
spruce lumber, with the supply very short,
whereby the market is kept strong.

sions, $21; 9-inch and under, $19; 10 and
12inch random lengths, 10 feet and up,

$68; plain oak, $42 to $45; common and
rejects, $20 to $25; red oak, plain,
,
$43 ; whitewood, $42 to $43; sap and

bia red cedar, 16-inch, five butts to 2

market, and nominally very firm: Clear,
$40 to $42; second clear, $37 to $39; extra
No. 1, $22 to $32.
September 24, 1902
The still stronger position of laths in
New York, with most of the cargoes going
there, has made the Boston market very
firm: One and five-eighths inch, $3.15 ;
1% inch, $3.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The close of September finds lumber
Prices steady after the several advances
that have been put into effect during the
season. With almost the entire season's
production manufactured and ready for
the market, it would not be surprising if
prices should show a tendency to recede
from their high point; but the only tend-
ency in this direction is confined to one
locality and to one class of trade. In
Western Ontario some shading of prices
on the lower grades of white pine in car-
load lots is reported, but it has not been
of such an extent as to cause the trade
much concern. There is really no reason
to cul prices at the present time, as the
demand is of average volume and a good
trade seems assured throughout the fall
and winter months. Of course, there will
be quiet periods. In Toronto it has not yet
been possible to advance prices on good
lumber to a basis corresponding with

other markets. This is probably due to
the fact that
doors, blinds, and other woodwork have
the manutacturers of sash,
been working up their old stock and have
not purchased much lumber at prevailing
prices. They have, therefore, been in a
position to sell their goods at a relatively
low cost, but when they are compelled to
replenish their stock of raw material
it will be necessary to advance the prices
of woodwork. Hardwood lumber has
shown more strength of late than pine.
Prices on all hardwood stock are strong,
and in some kinds there will be a famine
before next spring. Unless present indi-
cations are misleading higher prices will
be the ultimate result.

Most of the mills are still in

to continue as late in the fall as possible,

weakening in values would, in view of the
excessive cost of logging operations, be a
matter of serious consideration. Thus the
more conservative lumbermen are dis-
posed to proceed cautiously.
UNITED STATES.
The lumber market has lost none of its
strength. Although in some districts trade
has fallen off somewhat, stocks are so
small that prices have not been affected,
nor are they likely to be in the near future.
East of Buffalo and Pittsburg there is an
active demand for all kinds of lumber.
Buffalo and Tonawanda dealers have ad-
vanced the price of barn boards 50 cents
per thousand, while sales of No. 1 inch
cuts are being made above $40, which
was the price through the summer months.
The high prices have met with some op-
position from consumers, but as there
seems no prospect of a break in the mark-
et it is anticipated that there will be active
buying during the two months.
Chicago reports a steadily increasing
volume of trade, much of the demand
coming from the country. It would appear
that farmers, having their crops safely
housed, are now giving attention to farm
improvements. Hemlock shown

there is likely to bea still further advance.
No doubt this class of lumber is being pur-
chased for some purposes for which white
pine would be used excepting for the ab-
normally high price. Hardwoods com-
pare favorably in point of strength with
pine and hemlock. Wisconsin reports a
slow demand for inch soft elm and a
searcily of twoinch rock elm, while at Buf-

Pacific coast.
GRBAT BRITAIN.
There is a decided firmness in lumber
prices throughout Great Britain. ‘Trade
is moderately active, stocks are not ex-
cessive, and it does not seem that any-
thing is likely to occur to disturb the
market. Spruce seems to be about the
firmest class of lumber and c. i. f. quota-
tions are now considerably higher than
they were a few weeks ago. It is under-
stood that shippers are asking £9 15s.

6d. for thirds. Even at these prices ship-
pers are refusing to contract excepting for
immediate delivery, the tendency being
towards a further advance. Some of the
large importers of spruce at Liverpool are

The complaint is again made that the

quality is no better than second class.
Third and fourth quality pine deals have
been graded more satisfactorily, but the
demand for them is only fair.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
In the Chicago market 8-inch extra
white cedar shingles sell at $2.80, and 10
iuch at $2.85 to $2.90 by water. Lath
are holding up well. Sales of No. 1
mixed have recently been made by water
at $3 and of No. 2 by rail at $3.75.
Prices of tight barrel cooperage stock
have lately advanced. In Chicago lard
tierces range from $1.15 to $1.17% ; oak
pork barrels, $1; ash pork barrels, 87%
cents ; tierce staves, $23 to $24; pork
staves, $19 to $20 ; tierce heading, 16 to
16% cents ; pork heading, 12% cents.

A number of logs belonging to Hale &
Murchie upon which the Boom Company’s
tolls had not been paid were sold by auc-
tion recently at Fredericton, N.B. There
were first offered the logs now in the
boom at Lincoln, and they were sold as
follows : 79,036 feet of merchantable and
1,288 feet of batten spruce to J. R. Mc-
Connell at $11.05 per thousand ; 2,340
feet of pine to Hilyard Bros., at $7.75 per
thousand. The next sold were those logs
now at St. John, in the hands of James
Holly & Sons, subject to their tolls, about
5 cents a thousand. The spruce, 16,248
feet of merchantable and 7,336 feet. of
battens, was bought by Hilyard Bros.,
at $11.75 a thousand, and the same firm
bought 2,300 feet of pine at $7.50.
Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Company,
“along the line of Lake St.
under date of September 13th, say of the
Barbadoes market : ‘‘We have placed for
the Government 215,000 ft. white pine
boards, about one half each shipping and
seconds, at $24.25 and $18 respectively.
The stock of shippers is moderate, but
owing to the export demand being entire-
ly checked, and that locally at this time
of the year very small, there is no life
whatever in the market. We confirm our
previous valuation of $19 to $20 for a
small cargo of spruce. No shingles have
arrived, but a couple of cargoes of Gaspe
are on the way. Stocks of Cedar Laying
will be augmented, no doubt, by the lot
in Government hands, some 1,500,000, for
which tenders are invited.

Journal, o
Reviewing the market for
lumber, the Timber Trades
London, Eng., makes the following signifi-
cant remarks:
First quality pine deals have risen con-
siderably in price during the season, and
parcels have been disposed of at £30 cif.
to London for regulars; and on the Clyde
we hear that for a shipment of broads £38
was recently paid. Second quality deals
are just now rather dull of sale, and this is
in some quarters attributed to the depreci-
ated classification. Thirds are fetching
good prices, say, £12 and over, but
importers are purchasing with extreme
caution. Fourth quality deals hold a better
position, and sales are reported at £10 5s.
c.i.f. London for regulars. It is stated
that there is a good demand for third and
fourth quality oddments, but these goods
are unobtainable, the avilable stocks on
the other side having been absorbed by
the United States market.
Good pine sidings are in request, and
during the last six months have advanced
in price from £3 to £4 per standard in this
market, which is also owing to the active
demand from the States. For 2 in., 10/11
in. average, 12/16ft., £24 to £25 is quoted.

THE BOSTON MARKET.
Spruce lumber in Boston is firm, with a
very fair demand. The provincial mills
do not ‘want extensive orders ahead, for
the reason that they have so _ few
logs. Quotations are unchanged : Ten
dimensions, $21;
$19; 10
lengths, 10 feet and_ up,
and _ 12-inch g-inch
and under, and 12. inch
random
$20.50 ; 2X3, 2X4, 2X5, 2x6, 2x7, and 3x4,
10 feet and up, $17 to $17.50 ; all other
randoms, g-inch and under, 10 feet and
up, $18 to $18.50 ; 5-inch and up, mer-
chantable boards, $17 ; matched boards,
$18 to $20; out $14 ;
bundle furring, $17.
spruce boards,
Hemlock lumber is very steady. The
country boards have been pretty well
picked up and prices are _ firmer :
Boards, 12, 14 and 16 -feet stock,
$14.50 to $15.50 for good eastern ;
Pennsylvania, No. 1, $16 to $17.50; No.
2, $15 to $15.50.
Western pine is still very firm, with the
supply short, and tendency upwards,
Uppers, 1 to 2 in. $82.50 to $85;
2% to 3 in. $87 to $38; 4-in. $90 ; selects,
1in. $68 ; 1% to 13% in. $70; 2-in. $72 ;
2% to 3 in. $80 ; 4 in. $82; fine common,
I-in. $62 to $63; 1% to 1% in. $65 ; 2-
in. $67.50;. 2% to 3 in. $72.50; 4-in.
$82.50 ; barn boards, $23 to $33 ; coffin
boards, $28 to $32.
Hardwood lumber is well
witn the market pretty firm :
oak, $66 to $68;
$45; common and
sustained,
Quartered
plain oak, $42 to
rejects, $20 to
October 1, 1902
$25; red oak, plain, $43; whitewood,
$42 to $43; sap and common, $30 to
$35 ; brown ash, $41 to $44; white ash,
$43 to $46; maple,'$28 to $30; end-dried
white maple, $38 to $42 ; birch, $27 to
$30; birch, 75 per cent. red, $45 to $50;
elm, $29 to $31.
Shingles are well held on the best, but
some of the makes could doubtless be
shaded : Extra cedar, $3.60 to $3.65 ;
clear, $3 to $3.10; second clear, $2.55 ;
extra No. 1, $1.90 to $2; British Colum-
bia red cedar, 16-inch, five butts to 2
inches, $2.75 to $3.80; 18-inch, $4.25 to
$4.50.
Spruce clapboards are in very small
supply, with the mills not making them.
The market is nominally quoted at : Clear,
$40 to $42; second clear, $37 to $39; extra
No. 1, $22 to $32.
Laths are firmer, with the supply mainly
going to New York and the Sound: One
and five-eighths inch, $3.25 to $3.45; 1%
inch, $3 to $3.25.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. '
ONTARIO.
The Sumber market remains steady.
All grades of good lumber are so scarce
that dealers are refusing orders, while
some manufacturers have been obliged to
purchase from other yards the stock re-
quired to supply the wants of their custom-
ers. Low grade lumber is more plentiful,
although the supply is not excessive.
Priees on the lower grades are a shade
easier, due to the demand being some-
what less than was expected earlier in the
season. Taking the entire white pine list,
we find that a surprising degree of
strength is shown, and that indications
point to higher prices next season. . It is
reported that two of the Jargest manufac-
turers in the Ottawa Valley have. already
placed under contract their next season’s
production of British. deals, -at figures
about 10 per cent. higher than were
realized for their stock this season. This
report, however,is not confirmed, although
II
we would not be surprised to learn that
it is correct. In Western Ontario the
movement of lumber is not as active as
one month ago, although it cannot be that
the fall demand has as yet been satisfied.

Ww. iin the past week there has been a fall-

business, with the outlook quite encourag-
ing. It is claimed that Chicago is a baro-
meter of the lumber market, the supply for
that city coming, as it does, from the Lake
Superior, Lake Michigan, and Georgian
Bay districts. It is significant, therefore,
that dealers there last week advanced the
price of good lumber, until thick pine up-
pers are now quoted at $77, with propor-
tionate advances on everything else on the
good lumber list. The small stock of
lumber in the Lake Superior district is also
an encouraging feature from a_ price
stand-point. Conditions there have com-
bined to reduce the output of lumber this
season to much below what was expected.
Scarcity prevails throughout the hard-
wood list. In Michigan basswood and
maple are held at strong figures. The
birch trade is satisfactory, both in point of
supply and demand, but oak is scarce and
likely to advance in price. Prices higher
than those recently quoted are predicted
for hemlock. In New York city the re-
cent advances seem to have stimulated
the demand. Stocks at the mills are small
and dealers are hesitating to book orders
which they cannot fill promptly.
GREAT BRITAIN.
Recent developments have been favor-
able to holders of lumber in Great Britain.
There has been an advance in freight
rates, which has been reflected in higher
spot prices for lomber in London and
Liverpool. Contrary to expectations, the
crops in the Argentine Republic have
turned satisfactorily and
dealers are receiving inquiries for stock
for shipment to that market.
bility of a shortage in the supply of Jum-
ber for the British market next year has
also strengthened the hands of holders,
and has removed the apprehension that

the lumber they have purchased might
not command a margin of profit. Finan-
cially, the lumber market is in a healthy
condition, although the amount of busi-
ness is not large. Buyers recognize that
prices are likely to advance before next
spring. It is reported that Baltic and
White Sea shippers are arranging to make
a substantial advance on this year’s f.o.w.

ing urged to supply their requirements at
the market price, as higher prices are
predicted and there is little stock left for
future delivery. In Quebec goods first
quality oak and waney and square pine
are in steady request at firm prices.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
In the Buftalo market lath is scarce, but
the price is variable. Some dealers are
selling No. 1 white pine as low as $3,75,
while others want $4.50.
William Setchel, of Nipissing Junction,
has taken a contract to log this winter for
J. B. Smith & Sons. Operations will be
conducted at Setchel’s Bay, on the south-
ern part of Lake Nipissing.
At Albany inch uppers in pine were re-
cently sold at $85 per thousand feet. Box
lumber in that market is likewise very
scarce, the supply being smaller than it
has been at this season for many years.

Temiscaming Railway has been award-
ed by the Ontario Government to A. R.
Macdonell, of Glengarry. The contractor
is to manufacture the ties, fence posts and
telegraph poles from the timber along the
right of way. A separate contract will be
required, however, for an additional 200,-
000 ties,
At a meeting of the directors of the
Spanish River Boom Company, held re-
cently, it was decided to make some im-
provements for the purpose of holding
safely a quantity of logs the company
were unable to deliver this season. About
170,000,000 feet of logs were handled,
nearly 40,000,000 feet of which are still in
the booms and will be delivered next
spring.
It is reported that the Hinckley Fibre &
Paper Company, Hinckley, Ill., have just
purchased from Dr. W. Seward Webb,
20,000,000 feet of spruce lugs, one-half of
which is to come out this year and one-
half next year. The price paid is said to
have been $15 in the Lake, which 1s prob-
ably a record price. To come out with a
fair margin the above would mean a price
of about $24 delivered in New York.
Slack cooperage stock is quoted in Buf-
falo at $7.50 to $7.75 for first-class dry
elm flour barrel staves, and $6 to $6.25
for mill run fruit barrel staves; 5% to 534
cents for first-class basswood heading,
and 4 to 4¥% cents for mill run hardwood
fruit barrel heading; $11 to $11.50 for 6-
foot coiled hoops, $10.75 to $11.25 for 5%
foot. Tight stock is firm but inactive.
Most of the cooperage shops in Chicago
are shut down on account of the strike of
journeymen coopers.
Regarding the Glasgow market an ex-
change says: ‘‘A fair volume of business
been done during the week, and
among other things I hear of the sale of a
line of broad first pine, at a price which il-
has
lustrates the active demand existing for this
class of wood ‘at présent. Spruce deals
are also being inquired for somewhat ex-
tensively, 8 and g in. especially being
ready of sale at firm prices, while in tim-
ber a good business is being done in sawn
pitch pine, the stock of which has been
”
moving off very freely of late.
From Vancouver, B. C,, comes the re-
port that an important deal was put
through last week by which 121,000 acres
of timber lands, held by a syndicate of
which Mr. H. S. Strathy, a prominent
banker of Toronto, is the head, has been
bonded to a syndicate of American capital-
ists, resident principally in California.
The lands in question are chiéfly located
on Vancouver Island, but the deal covers
about 19,000 acres in the vicinity of Lil-
looet, and extensive areas at Grief Point,
about 60 miles north of Vancouver, coast-
wise,

CHICAGO PRICES
Recent price lists issued by Chicago
dealers show that piece stuff has been ad-
vanced about 50 cents a thousand since
the last revision was made. Timbers have
also advanced from 50 cents to $1, and in
some items slightly more. The greatest
advance that has been lately recorded
is on good lumber, which is now quoted
on the basis of $77 for thick uppers ; $67
for 1%, 1% and 2-inch A selects ; $58 for ~
the same thicknesses in B selects and $46
for shop, an advance of $1.50 on A selects
and uppers and 50 cents on A and B se-
lects and shop common. Inch lumber has
been advanced $2.50 in uppers, A selects
and B selects, as well as in thin clear and
selects 8 inches and up. C selects were
advanced 50 cents. Twelve inch stocks
are now quoted at $78 for A, $71 for B,
and $58 for C,which is an advance of from
50 cents to $3.50 on each item. The ad-
vances made are on good lumber, which
it is difficult to obtain in any thickness or
quality, and as a rule buyers show no
hesitation in paying the price. Prices by
cargo are exceedingly firm, piece stuff
being quoted on the basis of $16 f. o. b.

The quantity of lumber which will be
left on the docks at Duluth and. Ashland
at the close of navigation is estimated at
6 0,000,000 feet. The present stock is
about 100,000,000 feet, three-fourths of
which has been sold. Perhaps 70,000,000
feet will be sawn this fall. If shipments
are maintained at the customary rate the
quantity left on the dock will be the
smallest ever known.
There is likely to be a sharp curtailment
of the cut of the mills at the head of Lake
Superior. Low water has prevented some
mills from working for some time, lack of
logs has done it for others, and ‘inability

There is considerable inquiry for stock
from eastern dealers. What has beer
sold is largely of coarse stock. Prices
are stiffening gradually, the advance
from the early spriag being about $1.50
per thousand. Manufacturers of the
Duluth district are of the opinion that the
eastern yards are not. well stocked and
that they will be a considerable factor in
the market this fall.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The demand for lumber has not been
just as good as was figured on for early
October. Fewer orders have been booked
from the Eastern States, where business
has been retarded by the coal strike. Lo-
cally trade is moderately active, the large
volume of building in Toronto compelling
retail dealers to keep constantly replenish-
ing their stocks. Some uncertainty pre-
vails as to the future demand for building
lumber, as it is reported that the high
price of lumber, brick, and materials gen-
erally has prevented the carrying out of
certain proposed building operations.
Nevertheless, we do not anticipate lower
lumber. There are light
and manufactur-
prices for
stocks at
ing is nearly at an end for this season.
shutting down
in order to secure
the mills
Some of the mills are
earlier than usual
men for logging operations, while other
have closed on account of a
shortage of logs, due to the tie-up on the
Spanish River. With favorable condi-
tions for operations the production of
saw logs and square timber this winter
would probably be above the average, but
the scarcity of labor is likely to consider-
ably restrict the output. Red pine is
strengthening and promises to command
higher prices for the coming winter's
production than were realized this season.
mills
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The reports that sales have been made
of spruce deals for next spring delivery ag
prices higher than ruled during the cur-
rent year has created a feeling of hope-
fulness among manufacturers, who look
for prices to at least

and extras are bringing $40 to $42 on
Boston rate of freight. Cedar shingles
are almost equally strong. Locally the
demand is quiet, but the C. P. R. shops
in Montreal and the harbor improvements
about to be commenced at Quebec will
call for a large quantity of material. It is
yet too early to estimate the log’ produc-
tion of the coming winter. A New Bruns-
wick lumberman, however, gives it as his
opinion that the cut of logs on the St.
John river and its tributaries will be
considerably less than last season, owing
to the fact that the price of stumpage has
been advanced by the New Brunswick
Railway Company and that it is difficult to
obtain men for work in the woods.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
Activity characterizes the lumber trade
of Manitoba and British Columbia. Manvu-
facturers are unable to supply the de-
mand, a large portion of which comes
from the agricultural districts of Manitoba
and the Territories. The scarcity of
labor continues to be a great drawback.
Some of the mills have been compelled to
shut down temporarily. Loggers are
paid as high as $4 per day, and Japs and
Chinese are getting $1.35 per cord for
shingle bolts, an increase of about 75 per
cent. over last year.
UNITED STATES,
Satisfacticn in not in all
quarters in respect to the volume of the
fall trade in lumber. Doubtless the coal
strike and the fear of further complications
in labor circles has caused buyers to pro-
ceed with caution. A settlement of the
strike would doubtless be followed by
active buying of lumber. New York re-
ports a large volume of business at satis-
factory prices, and white pine has further
strengthened in the eastern markets. Our
Buffalo list this week shows an advance in
all sizes of uppers, selects and fine com-
mon, as well as in 10 and 12-inch barn
boards and 13-inch box lumber. In the
Albany list shipping and 10-inch common
are marked up one dollar. The shortage
in white pine dimension has assisted to a
further advance in the price of hemlock.
Chicago yards have put into effect an ad-
vance of about 50 cents, some dealers
claiming that they are getting $12. Spruce
is probably the strongest lumber in the
east. In Boston frames are selling at $19
to $21, and random at $17 to $17.50.
There is little change in hardwoods. A
Buffalo dealer who recently visited Michi-
gan was asked $21 for log run basswood.
This is probably the highest price which
basswood has reached for some time, and
it is predicted that other classes of hard-
wood lumber will witness a tise in price in
the near future. Birch is selling freely
and is being used in no small quantity asa
expressed
substitute for oak and chestnut. Maple
also has improved in tone. Shingles are
stroag. Within the past two weeks
white cedar shingles have been advanced
five cents a thousand in the Chicago mar-
ket. Sales of several million have been
made in that market at from $2.85 to
$2.90 by water and $3 by rail, and of 8-
inch by water at $2.80. Clear pine lath
bring $3.50 in Chicago, and No. 1 mixed
$3.
GREAT BRITAIN. ®@
Importers who usually pursue a conserv-
ative policy are advising the purchase of
lumber at present prices. They argue
that lower values are not probable, and
that the market is in a favorable position
to advance before next spring. It is an-
nounced that third quality Quebec pine
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
deals have already been contracted for at
an advance of £1 per standard on present
prices. The stock of good quality pine
deals is below the average. There has
been a marked appreciation in Canadian
red pine, prices during the last two months
having advanced 20 shillings a standard.
Importers are oftering £12 c. i. f. for 11%3
unassorted red pine deals, but shippers re-
fuse to contract on this basis, apparently
believing that they will be able to do
better. Several orders have recently been
booked for red pine for shipment to South
Africa. The spruce market maintains its
buoyancy. Writing of that lumber a cor-
respondent says: ‘‘The one bright spot in
an otherwise dull season has bcen the im-
provement in Canadian spruce, and this
despite the threatened opposition from the
Austria-Hungary, Roumanian, and Bos-
nian whitewood exports at the beginning
of the year. During the season there has
been a distinct rise of 10s. per standard in
all qualities of deals. Third quality 3x9
opened at 48 5s. c.i.f., quickly advancing
to £8 1os. and the movement since then
has been gradually upward to the present
contract price of £8 17s. 6d. c. i. f. It is
possible to purchase these goods at £9
15s. per standard in the docks, but this
quotation will not hold long.” A fair de-
mand exists for waney and square pine.
Owing to the dullness in the furniture and
cabinet-making trades, birch and ash are
quiet. Elm is held in large supply at
Glasgow and Liverpool, but the stock is
chiefly of inferior grades.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CaNapa LUMBERMAN.)
An unusual circumstance was recorded
in local lumber circles last week. One of
the largest mill operators, presumably
holding heavy stocks looking for buyers,
was forced to go outside his own yards
to secure stocks to fill orders which he
was in duty bound forced to satisfy,
and which in the rush of business he had
not provided for. This will give an
illustration of the scarcity of high grade
lumber in Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley.
Prices remain unchanged for the very
good reason that there are practically no
stocks on which to change prices. This
applies to good pine sidings, strips and
shorts in all dimensions. There are prac-
tically none of the above in the hands of
the manufacturers, and the dealers are
holding what little they have for their car
trade. By means of this high grade lum-
ber, which is about as much sought after
as anthracite, and about as easily obtain-
able, they can dispose of other grades
—more plentiful and less sought after—in
the way of mixed cars.
The smaller mills throughout the sur-
rounding country have been repeatedly
canvassed for the high grade stock spoken
of, but they have not been able to satisfy
any reasonable percentage of the demand.
The season's steady run on lath ard
shingles has found the yards depleted of
their stocks this fall, and asa consequence
prices of some lines have experienced a
slight advance. Despite the fact that
cedar shingles now rule in equal favor as
the pine—in some quarters even better—
the dealers find it difficult to get stock to
fill orders. The local demand has been
but a fair one, but the outside requests
have been growing in volume. The

Ottawa district lath and shingles went into
the Ohio and Pennsylvania districts in
large quantities during the past summer,
and this fact, coupled with the continued
strong demand from New York points,
has had a tendency to keep the piling
grounds in a rather depleted condition.
From these observations a future advance
would seem to be a‘ safe deduction.
No.1 white pine lath is quoted ona con-
servative basis at $2.75 to $3, while other
lines remain about the same. The de-
mand for mill run red pine lath seems ty
have fallen off, it being quoted 25 cents
lower at $2 to $2.25. Cedar shingles,
XXXX, 16 inch, find ready purchasers at
$2.25 to $2.50, and clear butt same length
are firm at $1.65 to $1,90, with XX quoted
at $1.20 to $1.25. In pine stock, clear
butts, 18 inch, sell at $2.15 to $2.40, and
XXXX same length at $3 to $3.25, with
XX at $1.25 to $1.50.
The stock of medium grade and cull
lumber is quite large, and as the demand
is readily supplied prices have become a
degree easier. Pine s.c. shorts are quoted
at from $11 to $14, pine box boards at
from $10 to $14.50, and pine mill culls at
from $9 to $14 per M. These figures, of
course, represent mill and wholesalers’
prices.
The old trouble, shortage of cars, has
broken out in the Ottawa district again,
and it threatens to assume a serious form.
One Valley mill is said to stand in need of
hundreds of cars to move stock already
sold. Be this as it may, there is no doubt
but what stocks could be moved very much
easier if more cars were on hand. The
movement of western wheat has, at the
dictates of the wheat king, deprived the
lumber trade of a large percentage of the
rolling stock it was wont to rely on. As
the harvest is an unusually heavy one,
there does not seem to be any prospect of -
a betterment of conditions as far as the
lumber business is concerned. In this
connection it may be remarked that the
movemeit of lumber by water this season

was much less than it was in former years,
The coal strike made impossible the ar-
rangement of return cargoes from Ameri-
can points, and as the barges, Canadian
and American, could not with profit be
run light one way, many were tied up and
the local lumbermen deprived “of one im-
portant medium of transportation.
Sinee July over 5,000 men are said to
have been hired and forwarded from
Ottawa for work in the lumber camps, and
still the demand has not been filled, over
2,000 more being required. The agents
are hunting in all directions, and large
numbers of men have been brought from
points as far east as Gaspe, Que. The
return of the western harvesters in about
a fortnight’s time, is looked for to solve
the difficulty. A comparison with wages
paid a few years back will give an idea of
the advance in wages, which must of
necessity be followed by an advance in
next season's lumber prices, and which in
all probability will, for lack of men, mean
a shortage in this season's log output.
Road cutters are receiving from $18 to
$22 a month and board, where formerly
the maximum figure was $12 and board.
General hands and teamsters are in de-
mand at $26 to $28 per month, classes that
a few years ago received only from $12 to
$15 and board per month. Log cutters
are hiring at $28 to $30 and board, who
were only able four years ago to command
$14 to $17 and board per month. Hewers
are receiving $30 per month, an advance
of $10 in a few years.

From Edmiston & Mitchells’ monthly

of the Glasgow market are extracted :
In Quebec timber, the stock of waney
and square pine logs is about 25 per cent.
more than last year, while = elm, and
ash are also in excess; but it may be point-
ed out that the stocks generally last year
were abnormally low. In pine deals and
sidings the amount on hand, with the ex-
ception of second quality, is very small as
compared with previous years, while as
regards spruce, the figures are 7063 stan-
dards, against 13,120 standard at 3oth
September last year.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
month has been about 1800 loads, and the
stockis moderate, about 7800 loads. There
have been no large transactions during the
month, though there have been a number
of sales of both first and second class |
waney, at prices ranging from 3s. 3d. to
38. 6d. per cubic foot for first class, and 2s.
6d. to 2s. 9d. for second class, according
to size. We hear of no transactions in
Square timber. Prices, however,are firm.
Rep PingE.— There has been an import
of 126 loads, and the stock on hand con-
sits of about 550 loads. Wehear ofa good
line having been placed during the month,
and from other enquiries presently in the
market the stock will all be required.
Oak.— The import during the month
amounts to about 800 loads, and the stock
consists of about 4200 loads, of which 3000
loads is Quebec and 1200 loads United
States timber. The demand continues
good, although railway companies are
buying more sparingly than usual. Prices
are firm.
EL_M.—The import amounts to about 700
loads. The stock is heavy — about 4000
loads — the greater part being second
class and soft wood. There has been a
fair business done in first-class rock, at
prices ranging from 2s. 11d. to 3s. 1d. per
cubic foot, but other sorts are moving
slowly.
BircH. — Quebec.— The import for the
month amounts to about 240 loads log
timber and 260 loads planks, which have
come toa dull market, and had in most
cases to bo stored. The stock on hand is
not by any means large, but the continued
dullness of the furniture trade necessarily
considerably restricts the consumption,
so that the quantity on hand is ample for
the present market requirements. Prices
have been unsatisfactory and show no
signs of improving.
AsH. — The import for September
amounts to over 1,000 logs Canadian and
400 logs States ash. Too much Canadian
ash is being sent into this market in view
of the extreme dullness of the cabinet-
making trade, and the stock is now alto-
gether too excessive. A few sales have
been effected out of recent arrivals, but at
miserable prices, as little as 1s. 5d. having
been accepted for 13 inch average, and
even at this price only a comparatively
small portion was sold.
DEALS, ETC.—A good business has been
done during the month, and deliveries
from the public yards have been large.
Owing to the moderate imports and the
small stock, prices of first pine deals and
October 15, 1902
first pine sidings show a marked advance.
Red pine and spruce deals are also firmer.
Current values are as under :—Broad first
pine deals, £31 to 34; 11-inch, £26 to
£27 ; ends and non-dimensions, $20 to
£22 ; second pine deals, 11-inch and up
£18 10s. to $21; non dimensions, £12
10s. fo £15. Third pine deals, 11-inch
and up, £12 to £13 ; ends and non-dimen-
sions, £8 1os. to £10 10s, Fourth pine
deals, 11-inch and up, £10 to £10 10s ;
narrows, £8 to £9. Red pine deals, 9 and
11inch, Lio to £12 ; narrows, £8 to £9.
First pine sidings and strips, 9 and 1o-
inch average, £21 to £23; 11 to 12-inch
average £24 to £26; 13 to 14-inch aver-
age, £27 to £28. Spruce deals, g-inch
and up, £8 10s. to £9 10s.; 7 and 8 inch,
£7 5s to £8 10s. Lower port pine and

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
Nothing has developed during the past
fortnight to weaken the lumber market.
Fall trade is now in full swing, and of a
volume which indicates the belief of buyers
inthe maintenance of prices. The opti-
mistic feeling in the trade will doubtless
result in every possible effort being put
forth this winter to secure a large crop of
ogs, and many manufacturers are now
offering to buy logs so as to ensure a
supply for
While we do not anticipate an excessively
large production of logs, for reasons
previously stated, the present is doubtless
a time for conservatism, as it is not pos-
sible to predict what conditions shall rule

winter, conducted as they will be at

Considering the large building opera-
tions contemplated in Hamilton by the
Deering Harvester Company and one or
two other concerns, the high price of lum-
ber has not yet exerted a deterrent in-
fluence. In Toronto building is also
active and manufacturers of all kinds are
working to their full capacity.
_ Hardwoods have shown remarkable

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,
The mills which supply the lumber re-
quirements of Manitoba and the Terri-
heavy
lories are experiencing a very
demand. It has been necessary in some
instances to refuse orders on account of
the inability to make delivery when de-
sired. Itis estimated that the demand
for shingles is greater now than ever be-
fore,the abundant grain crop having given
a stimulus to the trade. The activity is
likely to continue throughout the winter.
Many shingle manufacturers of the Paci-
fic coast have not benefitted materially
by the advanced prices, for the reason
that contracts were in many cases entered
into last spring at the prices then ruling.
Since that time shingle bolts have ad-
vanced and the manufacturer's profit
has been almost entirely wiped out.
UNITED STATES.
Good business is reported in every
branch of the lumber trade. Sash and
door factories are busy, and the scarcity
of No. 1 and No. 2 doors is as pronounced

ground that it may curtail the consump-
tion. In Wisconsin and Minnesota $11 is
being asked for No. 4 boards, while the
price of No. 3 and better averages about
$19. Norway piece stuff is practically
out of the market. There is a consider-
able amount of lath on hand at Ashland,
Wis., for which $3.25 is asked for No. 1
white pine and $2.50 to $2.75 for No. 2.
Hardwoods generally are strong. Manu-
facturers report large orders booked in
advance, with no prospect of lower prices
in the near future. There is a disposition
to use low grade hardwoods in place of
pine wherever it is found practical. The

Of Canadian lumber they say: From
the St. Lawrence the arrivals are : Pine
deals, 1,119,000 pieces, against 1,361,000
Pieces in 1901 ; spruce deals 2,004,000
pieces, against 2,972,000 pieces in igo! ;
birch planks, 95,000 pieces, against 94,-
000 pieces in 1901.
From New Brunswick :
254,000
19OI ;
Pine deals,
pieces, againt 209,000 pieces in
spruce deals, 337,000 pieces,
against 424,000 pieces in t1got; birch
planks, 108,000 pieces, against 161,000
pieces in igor.
Rather more pine deals have arrived
here in September than was the case last
year, but the market was very bare and
has taken off the required quantity with
hardly any give from the high prices cur-
rent. Of spruce the month's supply has
been quite inadequate and prices have
risen to a level to which we are quite un-
accustomed, without, however, in any
way satisfying shippers’ ideas. So long
as the Americans are eager for more than
Canada can supply these conditions must
continue. Birch, elm, ash and white pine
timber have been in better retail demand
than for some time past and values are
improving. Birch planks have been
shipped here too freely and want holding.
Oak timber has been difficult to sell at
shipper's valuation.
BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CaNaDA LUMBERMAN.)
Trade in all lines of lumber and shingles
is still brisk and heavy shipments by rail
and vessel have gone forward during Sep-
tember and early October. Although the
mills have caught up tosome extent on
orders, there are still plenty on their books.
A number of vessels are lying at Vancou-
ver and Chemanius mills awaiting their
turn fora cargo. Prices on foreign ship-
ments are firm and rough lumber brings
$12 per M at the mill’s wharf. Prices on
Manitoba and Eastern shipments remain

cents per 100 lbs. Logs and shingle bolts
remain high in price, the former bringing
$5 to $5.50 net at the camp, and bolts $4
per cord.
A number of lumber dealers from On-
tario, Manitoba and the Territories are now
on the Coast making contracts for next
year. The dealers in the latter places
contemplate stocking their yards during
the winter months so as to be prepared
for the early spring trade. They anticipate
a much heavier demand during 1903 than
has been the case during the present
season.
Very few timber cruisers are in the field
now, and few sales of timber lands
have taken place during the past summer,
although much has been offered.

retail demand is not large, but there is no

Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Company,

badoes market:“‘Only two small parcels of
white pine lumber have arrived for the fort-
night, one of 22,000 feet boards, which we
placed at $20.05 mixed quality, and another
of 16,000 feet from Gaspe, Que., of better
quality, sold at $21.30. We value first
cargo arriving in the neighborhood of $24.-
50 for shipping and $18.50 for seconds.
In spruce the ‘‘ Success’ brought 90,000
feet, of which 50,000 feet were placed at
$19.10 round and balance at $19.62. A

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the Canapa LUMBERMAN.)
Inquiry at the local railway offices re-
veals the fact that the shipment of lumber
is slow, the scarcity of cars already report-
ed still prevailing. This applies alike to
Ottawa and lumber centers in the Ottawa
Valley. One of the leading local yards is
200 cars behind in its orders. Business
as a consequence of this difficulty in trans-
portation and the scarcity of suitable
stock, is quiet. It is generally acknow-
ledged that the greater part of the present
season's cut is off the market, the scarcity
of cars alone delaying the shipment of that
portion which is in shape for present
movement.
Part of the cut of the Parry Sound mills
is being forwarded over the Canada
Atlantic Railway to points in New York
and the New England States. This was
contracted for or rather sold outright a
year ahead. The completion of the spur
line trom the Canada Atlantic Railway into
Parry Sound makes this route available
this season for the first time.
An American buyer who was in the
Capital recently, said that the scarcity ot
southern pineand cedar lath in Pennyslvania
centres was the cause of the past year's
brisk demand for the Canadian white pine
article. The dealers pushed the alien Jath
for all it was worth, but the Ottawa visitor
expressed a doubt..whether or not the
Canadian lath could retain possession of
of the Pennsylvania field once the southern
brands recovered a portion of it. The
presence of gum in the Canadian white
pine lath does not find it favor in the
mining state. There is said to be no gum
in the southern pine or cedar and for
this reason a preterence is expressed for
it.
The Ottawa market quotations in THE
LUMBERMAN were submitted to several
dealers to-day, but none of them felt
justified in making a change. Business
which opened brisk in September has for
reasons already mentioned suffered a
decline. On account of the scarcity of

SSS Se
cars it is highly problematic whether the
time honored fall rush immediately pre-
ceding the close of navigation will cut
much figure this year. If business does
not improve then prices are not likely to
advance. It seems to be pretty well under-
stood that high grade stock in and about
Ottawa which has not already been sold,
is being held for the winter trade. On
account of the many railway connections
and the greater freedom of rolling stock,
this winter movement will probably be
active. Dealers six weeks ago anticipated
much greater business than is being trans-
acted to-day.
An advance of ten per cent. on British
quotations on waney and square timber
was recently reported. Questioned as to
the causes for this marked advance a
prominent exporter stated that they were
manifold. In the first place, many of the
limits changed hands within the past twelve
months at greatly enhanced values. The
new Owners to protect themselves have
been compelled to make a proportionate
advance on the price of the product of the
limits. The second reason for the advance
is the condition of the labor market, dealt
with in these columns several times already.
It is difficult to secure skilled and com-
petent square timbermen and wages in the
year have advanced from twenty to thirty
per cent.
All kinds of fodder and provisions, with
the exception of hay and oats, have also
advanced, and this advance contributed
another cause for the ten per cent. in-
crease in selling price of square timber.
The increased demand in the British
market is a fourth reason quite as import-
ant as the others. It is just possible that
a further advance on pending sales may
be made.
No sales of limits or manufactured lum-
ber have been reported since the last list
appeared in the LUMBERMAN. There are
no limits on the market, and the holders
of such property are not desirous of selling
except ata fancy figure, for the reason

that lumber promises to be a good article
for investment for several years to come.
No sales are in contemplation and it can
safely be asserted that the recent period
of activity in limit transfers will be followed
by one of calm.
Recent reports from the limits go to
show that good progress is being made in
the preparation of logs for next year’s
sawing, Natural conditions have so far
been favorable, and the Operators are
looking forward to an open Fall. The
scarcily of labor, however, is complained
of in every quarter and it is now pretty
well assured that this shortage will have
a corresponding effect on the output of
logs, The fact that several firms have re-
sumed operations after a rest of years’ dur-
ation, has placed an extra demand on the
local Jabor market which it is impossible
to satisfy. The natural result—men of all
classes, and boys for that matter, are
being engaged this season, who a few
years ago would not have stood one
chance in twenty of getting employment.
No report of disease in the camps has been
received so far, and the operators feel
confident that vigilance will go a long
ways towards preventing a repetition of
last year's costly experience, when small-
pox broke up whole lumber camps.
Ottawa, October 21st, 1902.
The saw mill of Jardine Bros. at Rex-

that of next season’s production in West-

in the woods have been satisfactory, apart
from the difficulty of securing labor. There

Spruce clap-
boards continue exceptionally high on
account of the scarcity of stock. Whena
buyer wants them he usually pays the
price asked without argument. Laths are
almost as high proportionately as clap-
boards. For some brands of ‘‘ Extra”
cedar shingles it is possible to obtain
$3.60 for Boston delivery, but the prevail-
ing price is about $3.55.
The scarcity of labor is curtailing opera-
tions in the woods. Another restricting
influence is the price of stumpage, which
has reached $4 on the St. John river. It
is probable, however, that the log input
this winter will be about as large as that
of last season.

now prevailing. The demand upon whole-

volume that it is feared that the supply
will not last through the winter. A rough

demand is improving, although principally
for barn and corn crib material. Inroads
have been made upon the supply of No. 2
and No. 3 common strips and a scarcity
may develop later on. No. 4 boards are
showing more life and prices have firmed
up materially. In the Chicago market
short dry piece stuff is quoted at $16
delivered, and long at $18 to $18.50.
Common inch ranges from $18.50 to
$19.50. Hardwoods are being bought
up liberally by manufacturers, who appar-
ently fear that there will not be sufficient
stock to carry them through until the
new cut can be secured. Basswood is
exceptionally strong, the demand far ex-
ceeding the supply, and soft elm is ex-
periencing a better call than for some
time. There is a run on 2-inch elm. The
brisk demand for spruce continues and a
premium is often paid for prompt ship-
ment. The higher prices for hemlock are
being maintained. Dealers state that they
are unable to supply the demand and keep
their stock within reasonable proportions.
The base price at Buffalo is $15. Mich-
igan hemlock is selling fer the most
part about $1 Pennsylvania. A
drop of five cents in the price of red cedar
under
shingles is the only feature of note. The
trade is steady, with few white pine
shingles on the market.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The lumber trade of Great Britain is
somewhat unsettled. The volume of busi-
ness is moderate, but prices have not
yielded. The chief uncertainty pertains to
next year’s business. There is a very
general recognition of the fact that if the
market next season should become de-
pressed, importers contracting at the pre-
sent asking prices would stand to lose
heavily. For this reason reports from this
side are watched with great interest. The
course of trade for the first half of next
year seems reasonably clear, but beyond
that time few seem disposed to venture an

THE EXPORT LUMBER COMPANY
IN DIFFICULTIES.
Within the past week it was announced
that the affairs of the Export Lumber
Company, of New York, had been placed
in the hands of a receiver.
The news was
received with some surprise, as well as
regret, in Canadian lumber circles, as the
company has been a considerable factor
in the shipment of Canadian lumber for
some time past. The Supreme Court has
appointed three temporary receivers, in
the persons of W. A. Taft, vice-president
of the company; E. J. Hathorne, expert
accountant; and B. L. Fairchild. This
was done on the application of a majority
of the company’s directors asking for a
voluntary dissolution of the company. In
this application they state that the assets
of the company, although in excess of the
liabilities, are in such complicated shape
that they are not available for immediate
use to meet liabilities. Whe liabilities of
the company are stated to be $2,358,536
and the nominal assets $3,598,920. One
item of the assets is $2,015,026, represent-
ing advances to other companies ; another
item $977,765, representing lumber, which
it is understood bad mostly been pledged
as security for portions of the indebted-
ness. The company was associated with
the Atlantic Coast Lumber Company,
which has also become embarrassed.
The Export Lumber Company was in-
corporated in May, 1879, with an author-
ized capital of $150,000. In 1881 branches
were established at North Tonawanda,
N. Y., and Montreal. In 1882 the capital
was increased to $500,000, in 1885 re-
duced to $250,000, and in February, 1886,
again raised to $500,000. A branch was
established at Ottawa. In 1894 the com-
pany became selling agent for several
West Virginia concerns and was heavily
interested in timber and lumber in North-
ern New York. The branch at North
Tonawanda was discontinued a few years
ago. The company did an extensive ex-
port particularly to South
America and the West Indies.
The New York Lumber Trade Journal
gives the following list of creditors : Bank
of Montreal, $453,959,secured by lumber at
Ottawa; Baring, Magoun & Co., $64,874,

It is believed that the company will be
safely piloted through the present diffi-
culties, It is thought that for some time
past the company has been making
money, and that the trouble is that there
was too little actual cash put into a plan
originally contemplating a very heavy
investment, but which actually required
more money than was anticipated. It is
probable that reorganization will be
effected and the business continued with-
out interruption.

well posted in regard to conditions in dif-
ferent sections, says that he believes it
to be a well established fact that the
stocks of hardwood lumber in the hands of
manufacturers in the United States are at
least 500,000,000 feet short of the amount
so held a year ago. Se
In his view this means, says the Ameri-
can Lumberman, that next year the hard-
wood producers will be confronted with a
dual demand. There will be the require-
ment for consumption and for re-stocking.
That is to say, stocks in the hands of
handlers have been brought to so low a
point that business cannot much longer
be successfully conducted with the sup-
plies available and it will be necessary to
put into yard, whether the yards be at the
mill or at the distributing centres, larger
and more complete stocks than now or
for some time to come can be carried.

WRITE FOR PARTICULARS AND QUOTATIONS,
The season is at hand when the mill
product is at its minimum. The northern
mills cut very little hardwood in the win-
ter and for various reasons the southern
mills cut less than at other seasons. Con-
sequently there can be no material replen-
ishment of stocks, while the winter is an
active consumptive season. The effect of
this combination of light production, de-
pleted stocks and heavy demand must be
to maintain prices at their present level,
and very likelv to advance them in a good
many lines, for practically a year to come,
unless of course there should be some un-
looked for and disastrous break in the
general business condition of the
country.
A year ago there was a good supply of
hardwood lumber at the mills and buyers
had no difficulty in finding what they
wanted in any desired quantities; but now
November 5, 1902
the supply does not exist. Hundreds of
buyers have been taken off the road be-
cause they could not find enough lumber
to warrant paying them salaries
and expenses. What little they
got had to pay so high a charge that it
brought the price above a_ profitable
figure.
The mills have probably never before
been so closely cleaned out as at the
present time. Some dealers have stocks
of fair size and of good assortment, but in
the main the markets are also rather
lightly stocked. Whatever the exact
figures may be the conclusion cannot be
evaded that the hardwood market is in
an impregnable position and that it will
take many months of active mill operation
under the most favorable circumstances
to bring stocks to such a peint that there
can be any material lowering of values.

Large Tract of Timber
In Central Ontario
THE PROPERTY OF
The Canadian Land and Immigration Com-
pany of Haliburton, (Limited.)
This company has a large tract of well timber-
ed land about 125 miles north-east of Toronto.
There are large quantities of Cedar, Hemlock,
Spruce, Balsam, Basswood, Cherrybirch, Maple,
also considerable Pine, Elm and Ash on this
tract. It is well served by two railroads, one of
which is about to be extended through the centre
of the property. The Company are prepared to
sell this timber in blocks ranging from 5,000 to
10,000 acres, or more if desired.
There are several good mill sites on the pro-
perty. This would be a good opportunity for
parties who are at present cut out and looking
for a new location,

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,
The lumber movement in Ontario is
not large, for the reason that shipping is
practically tied up by the car famine.
There is considerable stock waiting to be
moved by rail, but the scarcity of cars
has been a handicap to business. Some
manvfacturers have withdrawn their price
lists and are refusing to accept orders
until the prospects of being able to make
shipment become more promising, The
situation from the standpoint of demand is
quite satisfactory. In the words of a
prominent dealer, “‘business is good, anda
fine winter trade seems assured.”’ Mill
men could sell more lumber if they had it,
but it frequently happens that they are
not able to supply the assortments wanted.
There is no shading of prices on hard-
woods. The scarcity becomes more pro-
nounced each week. Maple is less active
and weaker thn other woods. It is now
seldom bought for furniture-making, which
may account in part for its dullness.
Basswood is as much sought after as ever.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,
The activity in the lumber and shingle
business of Manitoba and British Colum-
bia has moderated slightly, although
manufacturers are still behind with orders.
It is rumored that a further advance is
about to be made in the price of British
Columbia lumber for delivery throughout
Manitoba and the Territories, and no
doubt such an advance will be followed
by similar action by the manufacturers of
The mills of British Columbia
have a great deal of lumber waiting ship-
ment. It is estimated that the East Koot-
enay Lumber Company have orders on

their books for 300 carloads, largely for
shipment eastward. The supply of labor
for logging operations is still inadequate
and is greatly hampering the shingle pro-
duction. The new list issued by. the
British Columbia Lumber and Shingle
Manufacturers’ Association makes an ad-
vance of about 15 cents per thousand on
ail grades of shingles for Ontario delivery.
XXX, 5 butts to 2 inches, are now quoted
at $3.45 ; XX, $2.65 ; XXX, 6 butts to 2
inches, $3 ; XXXX, 6 butts to 23-16 inch,
$3.20.
UNITED STATES.
The lumber trade of the United States
is firm, although rather featureless. There
continues to be a steady movement of
white pine into the hands of the consumer
and a corresponding disposition on the
part of dealers to replenish their stocks as
completely as possible. The receipts of
lumber at Tonawanda during October
II,
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
were larger than for any other month this
year. Our Buffalo quotations this week
show an advance of one dollar in 14% and
1% inch cutting-up stock, $2 in No. 2
moulding strips, and $3 in 6, 8 and to-inch
barn boards. At Albany trade is quiet,
stocks light, and prices firmly held, with a
tendency to advance if anything. There
has developed a shortage of box cull or
No. 4 boards, the box manufacturers stat-
ing that they are unable to pick up this
grade in northern markets. Piece stuff
assortments are also badly broken, with a
general scarcity ot long stock of all kinds,
2x12 joist and 4 and 6-inch No. 1 fencing
strips. Very few dealers have any quan-
tity of 12-inch boards. At Cleveland stocks
of good lumber, such as fine common,
selects and uppers,are scarcer than at any
other time this year.
Our remarks last week regarding hard-
woods pretty well cover prevailing condi-
tions. Dealers that stocks are
running low whether in the hands of pro-
ducers, dealers, or consumers.

GREAT BRITAIN.
The position of the lumber market of
Great Britain is not altogether satisfactory
in respect to consumption, which has re-
cently shown a decline. The business
generally is ina sound condition and not
likely to be affected by a temporary de-
crease in consumption. An active demand
continues for the better qualities of pine
deals and sidings, and prices have an up-
ward tendency. A basis as high as that
now ruling is likely to continue throughout
the winter months. The shortage in the
supply of pine and spruce from this side
has become universally recognized and
accounts for the strong tone now prevail-
ing. One report regarding the spruce
market received from London SEsa: Cue
spruce were to experience a really bad
year at home, and large quantities were
pressed upon the European market at
cheap and falling prices, it would have the
effect of discouraging buyers to deal
liberally with the Baltic timber; but at the
present time there are no signs of this.
On the contrary, everything points to an
expensive spruce year, probably more
trying than the season just passed.” For
best quality spruce as much as £9 per
standard c.i.f. is being asked, and at an
auction sale held by Churchill & Sim,
London, third quality Quebec spruce, 3xq,
realized £9 10s, and Miramichi spruce,
3x7 and 8, £7 10s.

THE GLA GOW MARKET.
Messrs. Edmiston & Mitchells, in their
last market report, review Glasgow condi-
tions as follows:
Business has been fairly active during
the month,a considerable number of trans-
actions having been made in pitch pine
and spruce, while for Canadian timber
and deals there has beena steady demand
at very firm prices. There have been
rather more wide first pine deals coming
in recently, but the import is still con-
siderably under the market's requirements,
and prices areas firm as ever. A cargo
of Californian redwood has been imported
into Glasgow during the month, and is
expected to meet with a ready sale in view
of the high prices asked for first quality
white pine. The result will be watched
with interest, as hitherto redwcod has not
taken well in this market.
Of American hardwoods the import for
October has been unusually meagre, and
values are on the whole well maintained,
the weak spots being walnut logs and
lumber and plain oak boards.
WHITE OR YELLOW PINE. ,—With the
exception of a small parcel per liner to
Glasgow, there has been no import this
month. There have been some fair sales
of both first and second-class Wwaney at
full price. Stock is moderate, and prices
are likely to harden.
RED PINE.—There have been a few
retail sales during the month, but the en-
quiry is very quiet. Stock is low, but
ample for all requirements.
Oak.—There has been no further im-
port during the month, and business has
been fairly satisfactory. One or two good
lines have been placed and general en-
guiries been numerous. Prices
range from 3s to 3s od for first-class, and
28 6d to 2s od for second-class, according
to specification.
ELM.—There has been a fair demand
during the month, and several sales are
reported at full prices. The stock is heavy
and ample ‘or all
ments.
have
prospective require-
BiRCH.—Quebec—The import of logs
this month has been trifling, and of planks
about 190 loads, some of which was sold
““ex quay” and balance stored. There is
still a considerable stock of planks ou
hand, but of logs there has been a moder-
ate consumption, and prices are reported
to be rather firmer. Lower Port. —There
are no imports this past month, and of old
stock there is still a fair quantity in store,
which is moving off very slowly.
AsH.-—There have been no arrivals dur-
ing October from Montreal, but from the
States 332 logs have come forward, which
have been disposed of from the ships’
side at prices ranging from 1s 8d to 2s
per foot. In Quebee ash the amount of
business done has been trifling, but one
or two small sales of £2-inch wood are
reported at about 1s 6d per foot.
Deas, &c.—Business during the month
has been of a satisfactory nature, and de-
liveries from store and ship's side are well
maintained. Imports still continue mod-
erate, and stocks, while accumulating, are
low. Prices of all kinds are firm. Cur-
rent values are as under : Broad first pine

£26 to £27; ends and non-dimensions,

DOORS AND MILL WoRK.
The tone of the demand for doors and
mill work over the country has shown con-
tinued improvement of late and this has
been fully as noticeable in the opening’
days of November as during any similar
period for some time. In some sections
demand for a month past has been inclined
to be dormant, but this condition, says the
American Lumberman, has been materially
emaliorated during the past few days at
many points. Distributers generally re-
porta tremendous quantity of orders for
small lots of stock and odd work, with a
fair intermixture of carload lots, but with
no indication of speculative buying. Judg-
ing from appearances one would infer that
retail dealers are anticipating as ump in
prices and are holding off in their buying
until they are able to secure bargains. If
this is what they are waiting for, the op-
portunity has probably already passed, as
prices are in much better shape this week
than they have been, especially on car-
loads; notwithstanding which they are still
too low for the average carload jobber to
interest himself in them to any extent.
Most wholesalers are satisfied with doing
a big business in small lots and for this
class of trade they are getting good prices,
in which there is a fair margin of profit.
They do not care to dispose of stock work
in carloads on which they cannot make a
handling bill.
The report from the door and millwork
factories at Buffalo, N.Y., is that they are
running to the limit of their capacities and
the feeling in regard to prices is much
improved. One mill owner says that he is
getting a dollar more to the door than he
did early inthe season. There is an im-
mense amount of home demand, so that
all the building that can be crowded in
this winter will be done.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The aetivity of the lumber business, as
reported from week to week, is reflected
by the Statement of exports to the United
States. During September, the last month
for which complete returns have been
compiled, the quantity of Jumber exported
from Canada to that country was 96,227,-
ooo feet, perhaps the greatest amount that
has been sent over in one month for some
years. Nevertheless, this quantity would
have been greatly increased had it been
possible to obtain cars to moveall the ]um-
ber awaiting shipment. In Ontario white
pine prices, while unchanged, show un-
mistakable evidence of hardening. <A
Georgian Bay manufacturer reports the
sale ofall his 1% inch No. 1 cuts and bet-
ter at $48 at the mill. The possibility of
the log production being curtailed by un-
favorable weather conditions is having its
effect upon future prices. Some United
States concerns have buyers now in the
market,and we may shortly expect to hear
of sales of next season’s production being
made. Birch and basswood lead the
hardwoods in point of strength. It seems
to be the opinion of the trade that both
these lumbers must go higher, as manu-
facturers are compelled to pay from $1 to
$2 per thousand more for their logs, and
it has been found almost impossible to get
a sufficient number of men for work in the
woods. Very little stock is being carried
into the winter ; in fact, buyers have al-
most given up looking for basswood.
While the supply of hemlock is relatively
larger, prices continuefirm. There seems
little prospect of lower prices this winter,
and consumers in need of stock may profit
by buying at present prices.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Within a short time it will be possible to
give the figures of wintering stocks o¢
lumber at Quebec, and it is believed that
these will be shown to be sinaller than last
year. The low freight rates have enabled
shippers to get their lumber across the

operations are now engaging much at-
tention. So far there has been too much
rain for successful work, and should snow
fall before the swamps and ground are
frozen it will make operations very diffi-
cult. A large operator on the St. John
river states that on account of bad weath-
er, high wages and the difficulty of ob-
taining men, the production of logs will be
somewhat smaller than last year.
UNITED STATES.
The conditions of the lumber market
are much the same as have prevailed for
some time past. Each week has em-
phasized the scarcity of white pine stocks.
Buffalo and Tonawanda have this season
received a large quantity of lumber, but
the demand has been so great that the
supply in the hands of wholesale dealers
is scarcely up to the average, and it is
predicted that there will be a shortage
before next spring. No. 1 cuts in 2-inch,
5-4 fine common and siding strips of good
quality are scarce. At Tonawanda a
slight advance has been made on some
grades of fine common,
uppers, although the list as a whole is
Chicago is short
No. 3
boards are quoted there at from $14 to
$15, and No. 4 boards at from $12 to
$13° In point of strength hemlock stands
out prominently. In the Eastern States
stock is being shipped green from the
saw in order to supply the demand. The
shutting down of some of the water mills
has caused a further hardening of spruce
prices. Ten and

of piece stuff and inch lumber.
12-inch dimension is
unsteady, and as the building season is
about over lower prices are talked of. In
the east, however, lath are very #arce
and all offerings are quickly taken at
current prices. Shingle prices are firm,
the drop of five cents inthe price of red
cedars having been recovered, while white
pine shingles have advanced about ten
cents at Tonawanda.
GREAT BRITAIN.
For some time the exceptional strength
of spruce lumber in the British market has
been commented upon. While other class-
es of lumber have occasionally shown a
tendency to weaken, spruce has remained
firm. It was a surprise, therefore, when

deals is 7,000 standards larger, and of this
increase the greater portion is 7 and 8 inch.
It Is believed, however, that the consump-
tion will take care of the available stock,
as during the month of October 12,470
standards were consumed in Liverpool, as
compared with 8,550 standards in same
month of last year. At London the dock
stocks make a very different showing,
spruce deals and battens being less than
twelve months ago and the only class of
lumber that shows a decrease. For sqflare
and waney timber there is steady demand
and stocks are in such shape as to ensure
a firm market for some months to come.
At Liverpool square and Waney pine, red
pine, elm, birch, and ash all show a con-
siderable decrease as compared with same
time Jast year. This is also the case at
London, the exception being oak timber,
the stock of whichis larger. Much atten-
tion is being directed to the prices which
are likely to prevail for next spring de-
livery, but as no transactions have taken
place, any opinions advanced are merely
conjecture.

nos Ayres, Clarke Bros. being the ship-
pers. The schr. Frank W. Pickles is load-
ing at Annapolis, N. S., for the West In-
dies, the cargo being supplied by Pickles
& Mills.
The United Lumber Company, ot Hali-
fax, N. S., shipped during the past season
12,000,000 feet of lumber to European and
South American markets. They are pre-
paring to take out 20,000,000 feet of logs
this winter on the St. Marys, Gaspereau,
and Jordan rivers.
J. & T. Charlton, of North Tonawanda,
estimate that they will be able ro manu-
facture about 175,000,000 feet of lumber
from the tract of pine timber on the
Spanish river recently purchased from
Booth & Shannon, of Pembroke, Ont.
The tract is traversed by logging streams
in such a manner that the average haul
will not exceed one mile.
Logging operations in the Dauphin dis-
trict of Manitoba this winter are quite ac-
tive. Camps are being established in the
Riding Mountains by Ritchie Bros., Shaw
Bros., and James Shoud, and in the Duck
Mountains by Briggs Bros. The Northern
Lumber Company, Hanbury Lumber Com-
pany, Swan River Lumber Company,
Peter McArthur and Makenzie & Mann
will operate their limits on Lake Winni-
pegosis.
The Sutherland-Innes Company, of
Chatham, Oni., refer to the cooperage
stock market as follows: “The manufac-
lurers appear to be getting all the orders
they want for stock, and the coopers getting
all the stock they need. There is a little
shortage in No. 1 stock, on account of the
mills not being able to joint stock up fast
enough, the weather having been very
much against jointing stock. The demand
for apple-barrel stock stil] continues, but
not very lively. Prices remain practically
the same as last month, with the exception
of No. 1 staves, which are advancing a
little on account of the scarcity already
referred to. All the manufacturers want
now is good drying weather, when they
will be able to take care of their orders to
good advantage. No. 2 staves still con-
tinue low in price, but the surplus is getting
pretty well cleaned up, so that we look for
a good price for No. 2 staves in the
spring.”

THE OTTAWA VALLEY,
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
At the court house here yesterday the
British Columbia limits of the Maclaren
Ross Lumber Company were sold as a se.
qual to the dissolution of partnership. Keen
interest was shown in the sale, which was
attended by both Canadian and American
operators. The limits are 56942 acres in
extent with a well equipped saw mill, and
sold for $169,500. The property was sold in
three separate parcels, two of which were
bought in by Mr. J. C. Browne, lumbe,;
brocker, of Ottawa, and the third by Mr,
H. J. Jenkins, head of the H. J. Jenkins
Lumber Company, of Minneapolis.
The first parcel consisted of about 23;-
600 acres of timber land situated in the
Seyward district, Vancouver Island. It
was sold to Mr. Browne for $113,000, to
which figure it advanced in the bidding
from $50,000. The limit is accessible, com-
pact and well wooded, and is considered
a good bargain at the price paid.
The second parcel, also bought by Mr.
Browne, contained in all 32,942 acres and
sold for $24,000. The property is in the
following lots: 9,280 acres in New West-
minster district; 6,720 acres in the Chilli-
wack district, another of 15,900 in the
same,and a third of 1,042 acres also in this
district. These cover scattered territory
and are not as well wooded as was the
land in the first parcel, hence the difference
in price.
The third parcel, the one secured by Mr.
Jenkins, is not wooded. It contains about
400 acres situated on the Fraser river
about three miles from New Westminster:
On it stands a well equipped saw mill and
accessory buildings.
It is understood that the American firm
will take possession of the mill forthwith.
Mr. Browne, however, will not operate his
newly purchased limits just at present. He
refused to express any intention, and said
that he alone was interested in the deal.
Reports from the limits in the Ottawa
district show that operations which are
well under way were interfered with by
the constant rains of October. On limits
remote from the railways, the foremen are
having trouble with deserters. Few days
passed during the past month in which
one or more men did not take French
leave. To fill orders, local agents were
forced this year to engage practically all
the men and many youths who offered
themselves for employment. The roaving
class of spasmodic workers were well
represented on the limits, with the work of
which many were wholly unacquainted.
It is this class that is giving trouble, the
members taking advantage of the open
season to get out from the remote limits
before winter sets in and shuts them out
from civilization for six months or more.
The swamps and lowlands are all full of
water and the lumbermen are hoping for
early frosts so that good ‘‘bottom” can be
procured before deep snow comes, other-
wise it will be difficult to transport logs.
Davidson & Thackray, of Ottawa, have
secured a $15,000 order from South Africa
where the firm recently sent a representa-
tive. The order called for sashes, doors
etc.
There is no relief in the car famine and
the shippers are sending out stock by barge.
Several are loaded daily at the mills along
the Ottawa river. Local dealers report a
falling off in orders from American points.
The inability to move stock has put a
damper on business.
G.L. Burtis,the lumberman ot Munising,
Mich., is erecting a large mill at Thessalon,
on the Georgian Bay. The mill will have
an output of 25,000,000 feet. The car
shortage has not been felt at Thessalon,as
the shipments are mostly all made by
water.
McLachlin Bros., large mill at Arnprior
has closed for the season. Gillies Bros .
mill at Braeside is still running. None of
the Ottawa mills have closed down.

BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CANADA I,UMBERMAN,)
Lumber prices in nearly all grades have
risen during the past week. Rough lum-
ber now retails in Vancouver at $ 13-00 per
thousand. The railway list has advanced,
and itis probable that prices will be raised
on nearly all grades shipped east to Mani-
toba, Ontario and all eastern points within
the next few days. The principal cause of
. the advance is the rise inthe price of logs.
The demand has been active during the
past summer, with the result that but few
logs are in the water, and it is anticipated
that there will be a scarcity owing to the
camps not being able to run to their capa-
city during the wet weather of the winter
months. Contracts are being let by the
millsto jobbers at from $6 to $7 at the camp.
Wages continue high and men are scarce,
al wages ranging from $3 to $s per day.
The shingle market remains good, and
prices are firm witha tendency to advance.
Some of the mills are refusing orders for
next summer shipment, as prices of lum-
ber, logs and shingle bolts will doubtless
advance before spring.
Shipments to the Orient are active and
prices remain firm. It is expected that
new markets will open shortly in South
Africa for Canadian producers. Not much
lumber has been shipped there as yet, as
the Australian. Japan and other countries
have kept foreign shippers busy during the
year.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
Owing to the car shortage, lumber
salesmen have been taken off the road, as
manufacturers and dealers consider it
unwise to increase their obligations. until
they are able to discern when the stock
now ready for shipment will be moved.
The car famine has in large measure
paralyzed the fall trade and caused great
inconvenience to consumers in need of
stock. Many retail dealers bought spar-
ingly earlier in the year in the hope that
prices might weaken. They are conse-
quently in need of the stock that has been
ordered. Under such conditions it is
difficult to estimate the current lumber
demand. The open weather has permitted
out-door operations to be carried on with-
out interruption and consumption of lum-
ber locally is exceptionally large. Every
factory for which lumber furnishes the
raw material is operating to its maximum
capacity, with orders booked far in ad-
vance.
The stocks held by manufacturers are
lighter than for many years. The upper
grades have practically passed out of
first hands, and before the mills commence
operations next spring the quantity of
lower grades will be reduced to a very
low point. Dimension of all kinds is in
good demand, also lath and shingles,
which are getting stronger almost every
week.
Operations in the woods have thus far
been expensive. The ground is soft and
the swamps full of water and not frozen
hard enough for teaming purposes.
These conditions have greatly deterred
successful work and increased the cost. of
logs, which in turn will. be reflected in
lumber prices.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
The British Columbia Lumber and
Shingle Manufacturers’ Association have
put into effect a new price list covering
all points on the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way and branches between Moose Jaw
and Winnipeg. By this list many grades
of fir and cedar lumber are advanced, the
important increases being as follows :
No. 1'clear red cedar finish, 1x8 to 12
inch, $5; 1x14 to 18 inch, $10; 1x20 to
24 inch, $16 ; clear squares, 3x6 inch, $5 ;
7 to ro inch, $10; No. 1 clear siding,
1x6 inch, $4.50; %4x6 inch, $2; No, 1
clear ceiling, 1x6 inch, $4.50 ; fir finish, $1
advance on all sizes; ship-lap, $1 ; fir
flooring, $2 on 1xq4 or 6 inch edge grain
and $1 on other kinds. On other items
advances ranging from 50 cents to $1
have been made. It is believed that no
difficulty will be met with in maintaining
these prices, as the demand is unusually
active. A shortage of logs as the result
of unfavorable weather for operations in
the woods fis causing much anxiety, and
some of the mills may be compelled to
close down.
UNITED STATES.
The lumber demand throughout the
United States is quieter, although no signs
of weakness are displayed anywhere. Very
little buying of next season’s production
has taken place, dealers evidently prefer-
ring to postpone the placing of contracts
until after the turn of the year. Such sales
as have been made indicate that there will
be no break in the price of white pine.
The steady appreciation in value of this
class of timber is shown by the recent
purchase of a large tract of standing tim-
ber in Minnesota at a stumpage value of
$10.60 per thousand feet. Some items of
pine lumber have advanced within the
past week. The scarcity of Io and 12-
inch boards has tempted holders to ad-
vance their quotations, and in some cases
the higher prices have been paid by buy-
ers. Ameeting of wholesale dealers is
shortly to be held in Cleveland, when it is
thought that No. 2 shelving, No. 1 shop,
A selects and uppers will be advanced.
Buffalo reports a pronounced scarcity of
12-inch white pine box lumber, but the sup-
ply of other grades is fairly good and
larger than at Tonawanda. Chicago
prices are unchanged, $16 being the ruling
quotation for cargo lots of short pine piece
stuff, $18.75 to $19 for long timbers, and
$19.50 to $30 for small timbers of good

nounced strength.
somewhat and advances are in prospect in
the near future. Several dealers at Buffa-
lo are asking $1 more for maple and claim
to be unable to supply the demand for
thick stock. Elm and basswood are also
scarce. The tone of the hemlock market
is stronger than for several weeks and the
supply greatly broken. It is predicted
that the base price at Tonawanda will
reach $20 before next season.
GREAT BRITAIN.
A correspondent who usually takes a
conservative view of trade prospects pre-
dicts that all things considered British
Il,
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
importers are now justified in looking
upon the bright side of affairs. He
lieves that prevailing conditions indicate
that present prices will be maintained for
be-
at least the first six months of next year,
and advises buyers to contract at the
prices now asked. The outlook for next
year is hopeful, although, of course, cir-
cumstances may transpire in the mean-
time to change the present strong trend of
the market. The import of sawn and
planed timber by Great Britain for the
first ten months of this year was nearly
one million loads in excess of the import
of last year. From Canada the import of
hewn timber was 73,336 loads, as against
82,516 loads last year, a decrease of
9,180 loads. Of sawn lumber the import
was 1,451,163 loads, as compared with
1,239,004, an increase of 112,159 loads.
The effect of this increase in the quantity
of Canadian sawn lumber is offset by the
probability that next year a smaller
quantity of Canadian lumber will be mar-
keted in Great Britain. Spruce is firm
and the weakness temporarily created at
Liverpool by the abundaut ‘stock of nar-
row sizes is passing away. No trans-
actions for first-open-water delivery have
as yet been reported, although one or two
small contracts are believed to have been
closed.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
The receipts of lumber by vessel at
Tonawanda this season are estimated at
410,000,000 feet. ie,
Albert Smith & Sons, of Amherst, N.S.,
have purchased from Charles Bent the tim-
ber on a lot at Fort Lawrence for $1,700.
Mutchenbacker Bros., of Rosseau Falls,
Ont., expect to turn over between 6,000,-
000 and 7,000,000 feet of logs this winter,
mostly hemlock.
At Manistee, Mich., pine piece stuff is
selling at $16; inch white pine at $18 to
$20.50 ; hemlock, $10 for short, and $12
to $18 for longer stock.
In Chicago lath are held at $3 and $3.50
for No. 1 mixed and No. 1 white pine
respectively, In New York the prevailing
price for No. 1 is $3.50.
The Arthur Hill Company, which has
operated on the Georgian Bay the last
eight years, cutting something like 250,-
000,000 feet of timber, is winding up its
lumbering operations near Midland, -hav-
ing had about 15,000,000 feet manufac-
tured this season.
At the Crown Land Office, Fredericton,
N. B., the following timber berths will be
offered for sale on December 3rd: Two

colonial Railway, Hazen Crossman, appli-
cant ; 5% square miles on Little Meransey

Oromocto
Under date of November 11th, Messrs.
S. P. Musson, Son & Company say of the
Barbadoes market: ‘‘There have been
no arrivals of either white pine or spruce
in the fortnight, but we learn that two car-
goes of the former have been contracted
for a $25.50 and $25.75 for shipping and
$21 and $21.75 for seconds. In spruce the
small! lot mentioned in our last was sold at
$19.22. As the season is approaching
dealers show more willingness to operate,
and first receipts should bring fair rates.
We understand that a small cargo has been
sold on C & F terms equal to about $22.50
landed, which we consider a very full price.
Shingles have been sold at $4.89 to $5.01
or long, as to quality ; $4.01, $5.22, $6.22
and $7.22 for 4.5, 6 and 7 inch respectively
and $1.82 for cedar laying.”
THE OTTAWA VALLEY,
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
A new lumber railway connecting with
the Parry Sound branch of the Canada
Atlantic Railway was completed last week.
Itis 15 miles in length and runs from
Whitney Station on the Canada Atlantic
Railway to Lake Opeongo,fconnecting the
St. Anthony Lumber Company’s mill at
the station and its limits bordering on the
lake. The construction of this road en-
tails a saving of about 50 miles in the
transportation of logs and naturally makes
a big reduction in the time consumed.
With the completion of the road, work on
which was started 15 months ago, the
company will be enabled to operate its
mill all the year round. Two log trains a
day will be run, assuring a steady supply.
The road cost $200,000 and involved con-
siderable rock cutting and trestle building.
Several of the trestles are 400 feet in
length. There are few of these logging
railways in Eastern Canada,although they
are common in the States and Western
Canada. Mr. J. R. Booth has one run-
ing from his limits in the Madawaska dis-
trict. It connects with the Canada At-
lantic at Madawaska. By this road Mr.
Booth has established a record of 24 hours
from the ‘‘stump to the saw,” whereas by
the water route the movement of logs
usually consumes six months and in dry
seasons often a year or more. The St.
Anthony Company, it is expected, will do
equally as The new road runs
through Algonquin Park, Ontario’s natur-
al reserve.
! Unprecedented activity in the lumbering
Operations in the Kippewa district are
reported. Mr. H. B. Shepard, President
of the Shepard and Morse Lumber Com-
pany, and Mr. Peter Whelen, Canadian
manager, who have just returned from the
company’s limits in that district, bear the
news. This is the first year in five that
this firm has carried on operations in that
field. It has four large camps at work
making logs and another engaged getting
out square and waney timber. Other firms
working in the district,several after an ab-
sence of years, are the Hull Lumber Com-
pany, Robert Hurdman,the Rideau Lumber
Company and Edward Moore, of Ottawa,
and McLachlin Bros., of Arnprior. Some
are getting out logs and others square and
waney timber.
well.
Fully 2,000 men are en-
gaged, a great increase over last year’s
numbers. The weather so far has told
against the work. A month ago snow fell
and ice formed and it was concluded that
winter had ‘‘set”. Rain has fallen almost
continuously ever since, however, and the
streams are at the high level natural to_
spring. The low lands are soggy and
afford but poor footing for men and horses.
Early frosts are hoped for, as they guar-
antee good “‘bottom’. The output of logs
and square timber will be large.
The mills in the Ottawa district have
either closed or are preparing to close for
the season. An odd shipment of lumber
is being made by barge and a few carloads
are being shipped by the Canada Atlantic —
and Canadian Pacific Railways.
The high insurance charges placed on
the St. Lawrence route has driven the ex-
port lumber trade in a measure from Mon-
treal and Quebec to Portland and Boston.
As a consequence
lumber which was
formerly shipped from Ottawa to the Can-
adian sea ports by barge is now forwarded
by rail to the American ports.
The return of the western harvesters to
Ottawa has afforded some relief to the
labor market. Many of these men are
being engaged for work on the limits and
as they have had experience in past seasons
they are welcome. Wages have advanced;
the latest monthly schedule, board includ-
ed, running from $26 for road makers to
$32 for log makers.
Ortawa, Nov. 22nd, 1902.
NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.
At the present time the demand for
N.B. cedar shingles is rather light. Stocks
in manufacturers’ hands are also light.
The retail yards throughout New England
are just fairly stocked. There are but
few shingles going into consumption at
the present time, and the demand will, as
a result of this, be rather slow until the
yards commence to buy in anticipation of
their spring requirements.
Prices seem to be firm, and as there is
no excess of stock in the two higher
grades anywhere in manufacturers’ hands,
there is every likelihood that the shingle
producers will get present prices for all
they have, if their courage holds good, for
the shipments of the next six or eight
weeks ought to clean out the entire stock
left over from this season's operations. It
is quite likely that the winter-cut shingles
(which are not as good as the summer-
manufactured article) may be sold during
January and February at something less
than present going quotations. Every
indication, however, would point toward
an early spring market that will take all
the shingles that can be found, at prices
certainly as high, and probably somewhat
higher than the present market figures.
There is a small surplus of Second Clears
and Extra Ones, and on these grades we
are inclined to believe there may be some
shading in prices.

Indications are that the production of

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
Lumber prices appear to have settled

be very slight. Navigation is about closed,

on all sides. The upper grades of pine
are about out of the market, and before
spring they will be very eagerly scught
for. A Jarge manufacturer informs the
writer that there would be no difficulty in
advancing the price of No. 1 and 2 cuts
and dressing, but that it is not considered
advisable to do so, as it would probably
encourage the use of substitutes for white
pine and when the supply bad become
greater there might be found to be less
demand. There is a good enquiry for box
lumber, considerable shipments being
made to the Eastern States. Hardwoods
remain high and firm. A shortage in sup-
ply prevails generally, but especially in
basswood, elm and ash. Dealers are re-
fusing orders for basswood on account of
the scarcity of stock. In Toronto shingles
are remarkably firm, although the con-
British
shingles are likely to be advanced.

The shipments from the St. Lawrence
are practically completed for the season.
It is believed that they have been lighter
than last year, owing to the fact that the
high insurance rates have caused shippers
to export to a greater extent via the
United States ports. Wintering stocks at
Quebec are small.

announcement, unofficially, that it is the
intention of the British Columbia Lumber
and Shingle Manufacturers’ Association to
advance the price of shingles ten cents
per thousand, to take effect on April rst
next. This advance has become neces-
sary on account of the increased price of
logs and higher wages and insurance
rates. The lumber demand throughout
Manitoba and the Territories has slacken-
ed somewhat, but present indications
point to a fair trade throughout the win-
ter and an early and active spring de-
mand. The recent fire at Norman by
which 14,000,000 feet of white pine were
destroyed has stiffened the price of that
class of lumber.
UNITED STATES.
Receipts of white pine at distributing
points have been quite large of late, and
wholesale dealers will go into the winter
with a larger supply than was anticipated
one month ago. They continue to make
heavy shipments to interior points, indicat-
ing that retailers do not regard their sup-
ply as more than ample to meet the re-
quirements of their customers. Prices of
pine have, if anything, strengthened dur-
ing the week. No. 2 and No. 3 grades of
shop common have been somewhat weak
for some time past, but as the result of an
investigation made by Minneapolis dedlers
the supply was found to be much smaller
than estimated and accordingly prices
have stiffened. In the Chicago market
No. 4 and Nw. 5 boards are in excellent
demand and within a month prices of No.

and. Factory lumber, especially in selects

way in2x 12 of all lengths. The price of
18 foot lengths and under is $23, with
steady buying at this price. Box manu-
facturers are making liberal purchases of
No. 4 lumber.
The shortage in lumber stocks is forcibly
illustrated by the supply at Alpena. The
docks there will go into winter quarters
with less than 2,000,000, feet as against
20,000,000 feet at the close of navigation
last year.

company’s reach.
The Bell Telephone Company are call-
ing for tenders for poles, to be delivered

Sault Ste Marie to Thessalon.
Mershon, Schuette, Parker & Company

A two square mile timber limit at
Young’s Cove, Grand Lake, N. B., was
sold by the New Brunswick Government
last week to the St. John Sulphite Pulp
Company at $55 a mile.
Capt. Carter, of Maccan, and Albert
Pugsley, of Athol, N.S., have purchased a
block of timber land in Nova Scotia be-
longing to the estate of the late James
Skidmore, of Canaan. The consideration
was $4,600.
G. Strevel, of Winnipeg, Man., has se-
cured the contract from the Canadian
Northern Railway to take out 250,000 ties
during the present winter. His camps

Shingle prices in the Sdginaw Valley
are said to be a little easier. Dealers are
quoting $4.10 for XXXX white pine
shingles and $3.10 for clear butts. Cedar
shingles are worth $3.90 for 4 x 18 inch
stocks and $2.90 for clear butts.
The Department of Interior at Ottawa
is asking for tenders up to December 24th
for a license to cut timber on Berth No.
318, situate in the Province of Britich
Columbia, to the east of Harrison Lake.
The berth contains an area of 1080 acres.
The saw mill at Trout Lake, B.C., has
passed into the hands of a syndicate repre-
sented by W. Cowan and D. L. Kinman,
who are calling for tenders for the cutting
of 1,500,000 feet of logs to be delivered
at Trout Lake before the opening of
spring. The timber limit secured by the
syndicate contains 600,000,000 feet of fir,
spruce, cedar and hemlock timber.
The demand for slack cooperage stock
has subsided, as a result of which there
has been a slight decline in prices. At

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
: ONTARIO.
With navigation closed and the mills
sbut down, the lumber business is settling
down to a winter basis, although there is
still considerable activity on account of
the large quantity of lumber that must be
shipped by rail to fill orders. The demand
during the first week of December was
unusually large, many inquiries for stock
being received from the United States.
While the general price list is unchanged,
it is quite usual to hear of sales of special
stocks at extraordinary prices. A state-
ment has been given out showing that the
cut of logs this winter on the Georgian
Bay district is likely to be greater than
last season. The statement might be
regarded as sufficient to cause weak-
ness in lumber prices, but it seems
that the demand for Canadian white
pine bas become too well established
to be so affected. There is, also,
the uncertainty that weather and labor
conditions may restrict the estimated cut.
The prevailing weather, however, is about
what is desired and operations’ in the
woods are progressing satisfactorily.
Operators who are taking out logs for
sale report a large number of prospective
buyers.
Toronto dealers are now doing a fair
trade in both pine and hardwoods, but are
compelled to refuse orders for certain
classes of the latter on account of the
scarcity of stock. Shingles are moving
freely for this season of the year, white
cedars being particularly active and in
good demand for the Ameriean trade.
Tenders have just been taken for the
annual supply of pine and hemlock lumber
for the City of Toronto, and the result
will probably be known this week.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The figures af lumber shipments from
the port of Montreal for the past season
have been published and show an increase
of 13,000,000 feet over last year. In addi-
tion to the shipments from Montreal there
were exported to Great Britain by way of
Boston over 25,000,000 feet of Canadian
pine and spruce. The total shipments are
larger than was generally anticipated and
must leave very light stocks on this side.
Manufacturers in the Maritime Provinces
are asking very high prices for their next
season’s production of spruce deals. It is
said that offers of $13.50 per thousand feet
delivered on wharf have been refused, the
manufacturers holding out for $14. They
contend that this figure does not repre-
sent morethana fair margin of profit,as the
cost of logging and manufacturing prom-
ises to be excessively high. In view of
the uncertainty as to. the prices. which will
rule in Great Britain next year, buyers are
not disposed to contract heavily at the pre-
vailing market price. Very few operators
in New Brunswick are taking out birch
this winter owing to the difficulty of hand-
ling the stock at a profit.
UNITED STATES.
Our price list this week shows a few
changes in quotations. At Albany No. 3
cuts have been marked down to $25 to
$30, while 2-inch shaky clear stock has
been advanced to $45. In the Bay City
and Saginaw markets 1o-inch No. 1 barn
boards have been reduced $1 to $24, 7 and
8-inch to $23, 10-inch No. 3 to $19, 9-inch
to $18.50, and 4-inch to $16.50. Inch box
lumber, 13 inches and up wide, has been
reduced to $17, and 1%, 1% and 2-inch,
y-inches and up wide, to $18. These re-
ductions do not indicate a weak market,
but rather a re-arrangement of prices to
conform with the winter stock held at the
particular points. From Buffalo, for in-
stance, comes the report that box lumber
is so scarce that it must soon be advanced
and that such action is likely to be follow-
ed by higher prices for barn boards and
such grades. The movement of lumber
throughout. the Eastern States is entirely
satisfactory. Export trade has been quite
active and sales to retail dealers have
been in excess of that of several previous
weeks. Buying by wholesale dealers is
pretty well at a standstill. In some
quarters the opinion is advanced that
prices of pine may shrink a little during
the holiday season and that there will then
be opportunities for picking up stock to
advantage. Soon after the turn of the

GREAT BRITAIN,
While the British timber market is firm,
it cannot be said that importers are show-
ing much disposition to contract for next
season's supply. In some quarters the
prediction is made that there will be a fur-
ther advance in the price of Canadian lum-
ber; other members of the trade are equally
certain that lower prices will be witnessed.
The stock at the leading ports is sufficient
for the requirements of the winter, and if
the consumption should decline
would probably be some pressure to sell
before the opening of navigation next
year. Importers regard the prices asked
by some shippers as excessive. This may
result in postponing the placing of con-
tracts until later than usual in order to
determine to what extent present asking
prices shall form the basis for first-open-
water transact ons. Spruce and pine in
the better grades are decidedly firm, while
the poorer qualities are scarcely steady.

The British Columbia shingle manufac-
turers have officially announced an ad-
vance of 10 cents in the price of shingles,
to take effect April rst. The demand for
shingles isso great that in spite of new
mills having gone up the supply is in-
sufficient for the market. Thus the ad-
vance in price. It is expected that there
will be heavy orders for goods to be de-
livered before the first of April. The
prices of shingles, f. 0. b. on cars, are as
follows: XXX 6 to 2 inches, 160 lbs., $1.85;
XXXX 6 to 2 3-16 inches, 170 lbs. $2.00,
5 x5 to 2 inches, 180 lbs., $2.25; 2x6 to2
inches, 160 lbs., $1.35. For plain dimen-
sion shingles 50 cents is added to the
above price, and for fancy butts $r per
thousand is added to the above price.
A Cardiff correspondent of Timber, ot
Liverpool, Eng., says: ‘‘The most import-
ant arrival this week has been that of the
“Prince Louis” with a valuable cargo of
British Columbian pine timber. The whole
of her cargo is for Messrs. Robinson,
David & Co., Ltd., who are the sole im-
porters of British Columbian pine in the
Bristol Channel. The firm received an
experimental cargo of this wood last
year, and they have had no reason to
regret their enterprise, the whole of the
wood having been practically cleared out
at satisfactory prices. The specification per
the ‘‘ Prince Louis” is exceptionally fine,
and embraces 288 sawn logs and 6,012
sawn ptanks, or altogether 1,567 loads. The
logs range from 4oft. to 1o5ft. in length,
and vary from 12in. to 24in. square, whilst
the planks are from 11in, to 28in. in width,
and up to qgoft. in length. The timber is
clean sawn parallel throughout, and as it
is not oully free from sap, but a good deal
of it does not contain a single knot, it is
especially suitable for high-class work
in which beams of exceptional length and
size are required. It is also well adapted
for deck planking, ship masts, spars, ete.

regarding
Business during the past month has
continued to be satisfactory. Imports,
especially of white pine deals, have been
very moderate. Yarded stocks have been
largely drawn on, and stocks in public
yards will probably be light by the end of
the year. Prices all round have been very
firm, with a gradual but steady advance.
It must not, however, be overlooked that
the general outlook is not overpromising.
The shipbuilding and other allied timber
consuming industries are now feeling the
want of new orders. Merchants and saw
millers hold fairly heavy stocks, and they
complain that there is considerable diffi-
culty in obtaining an adequate advance

THE DOOR TRADE.
In the Timber Trades Journal of Novem-
ber 29th we find the following reference to
the British door trade:
We hear that a cablegram has been re-
ceived from the Rathbun Company instruct-
ing their agents on this side to immediate-
ly withdraw all quotations for doors. Of
late the demand for imported pine doors
has been very brisk, and all the mills are
months behind with orders. This, and
the scarcity in the United States of pine in
clear and other grades, has no doubt in-
duced the Rathbun Company to stop sell-
ing for the present, although we imagine
that this is merely preparatory to the issue
of an advanced list. While readily admit-
ting its merits, we hold no brief for the
imported door, and, indeed, with the

squared-framed door in the neighborhood
of 5s c.i.f., English manufacturers of steam
made joinery have better chances of suc-
cessful competition ; but we have much to
learn from the up-to-date methods of
organization which prevail in the door
factories of Canada and the United States.
Our correspondent ‘ Snicker,” in last
week's issue confirms our statement that
Swedish doors had been sold at a discount
of 55 per cent., but regards this rate as
being due to financial exigencies, and that
47% per cent. would be the current dis-
count, while next year this will probably
be reduced to 45 per cent. With generally
higher prices for doors, both pine and
Swedish, it is obvious that English manu-
facturers have a better chance of recap-
turing this trade.
ONTARIO LOG PRODUCTION.
Reports received at the
Crown Lands Department, Toronto, show-
have been
ing the estimated production of pine saw
logs and square timber in Northwestern
Ontario this winter. The quantities given
for the respective agencies are as follows,
in feet board measure :—Sudbury, 121,-
000,000 ; Parry Sound, 171,000,000 ; Bis-
cotasing, 40,000,000 ; Whitney, 50,500,-
000; Webbwood, 150,000,000; Sault Ste.
Marie, 130,000,000 ; Port Arthur, 13,000,-
000 ; Arnprior, 40,000,000; Pembroke,
100,000,000 ; Peterborough, 44,000,000 ;
December 10, 1902
Rat Portage, 25,000,000. Total, 884,500,-
000.
In addition there will be a large number
of railway ties, probably 1,500,000, as
well as quantities of telegraph poles ana
fence posts, hardwood, hemlock, ete.
The quantity of pine cut in the same
districts during the winter of 1900-01 was
658,000,000 feet, and during the winter of
1901-02 850,000,000 feet. It is apnarent
from the reports of the timber agents that
the chief difficulty the lumbering firms are
experiencing is scarcity of labor. Men
are hard to get and wages are high. Pro-
visions and other supplies are also dear,
and the expenses of operating correspond-
ingly greater. These conditions may
prevent lumbermen from getting out the
estimated quantity.

be found in the trade.
his convictions on the reported large crop
of pine logs and the belief that the crest
of the present era of prosperity has al-
most been reached.
The former bases
The optimist, on the
other hand, points out that wages are so
exceedingly high and labor so scarce that
the cut of Jogs is likely to be restricted
thereby, and that nothing short of a
geneial business depression, which is not
likely to reveal itself, could restrain prices
from maintaining their present level. The
balance of opinion favors the hopeful
view and a satisfactory trade for 1903.
Whatever may be said of pine, it is gen-
erally admitted that higher prices for
hardwoods are likely to rule next year, as
the advance that has taken place has not
been proportionate with the appreciation
in the value of lumber of the coniferous
variety. Inqu‘ries for basswood, oak and
birch are quite numerous. Shingles have
recently fluctuated somewhat in price, but
the bulk of the sales of XXX white pine
have been made around $3.25 wholesale
in Toronto. Dealers complain of the
difficulty in securing a regular supply o
white pine shingles owing to the smaller
quantity now manufactured.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
The demand for lumber has fallen off
somewhat sharply, due in large measure
to severe weather. The building require-

GREAT BRITAIN.
Reports from the British market em-
phasize the prevailing disposition to post-
pone the closing of contracts for lumber
until a universal basis of prices has been
fixed. Neglect to do this in the past has
resulted disastrously. Importers regard
the prices asked by shippers as excessive,
especially in regard to Baltic timber. No
business of importance has yet been con-
cluded with the North of Europe export-
ers, although usually half the first-open-
water stocks of the following year have
been placed by December. Contracting
for Canadian Jumber has been ona smaller
scale than usual, although there seems to
be less opposition to the prices asked by
shippers. This is probably due to the
lighter stocks of Canadian pine and
spruce that are held at one or two of the
leading importing centres. In the
Surrey Commercial Docks at London
the stock of pine deals on November 3oth
this year was 596,757 pieces, as compared
with 695,520 pieces one yearago. The
corresponding figures for spruce were
557,003 and 752,750 pieces.

N WEEKLY Eprnon
UNITED STATES,
More interest is now centred in white
pine dimension than in any other class of
lumber. A short time ago the Mississippi
Valley Lumbermen’s Association declined
to advance the price of dimension, on the
ground that the conditions creating a
scarcity were of an exceptional character
and likely to be remedied in the near
future. firms
Nevertheless, individual
are advancing their quotations. During
the past season less dimension timber was
manufactured than vsual, for the reason
that greater returns could be obtained by
sawing the logs into inch lumber. Out of
this unnatural ratio in prices grew the
present shortage in dimension stock. In
other respects the market is quiet and
featureless. Upper grades are in good
demand, while on the lower grades a
concession of fifty cents per thousand is
being offered by a few manufacturers who
are anxious to realize. There has been
very little buying of next year’s stock
and present appearances indicate that
it will not start until after the turn of the
year. A volume of business almost
equalling that of the past season is
generally predicted, and it is thought that
prices of white pine will rule near the
present basis, Hardwood prices, how-
ever, are expected to advance, as the
stock at the mills is about 590,000,000
feet less than last year. Dealers are re-
fusing orders for future delivery excepting
on condition that the price then ruling is
to be paid. There continues to be a
strong demand for and marked scarcity
of basswood. Efforts have been made to
further advance the price of hemlock, but
cutting of prices by some of the smaller
concerns has discouraged this movement.
The base price in New York cily is
$16.50.

The representative of the CanapA LuM-

several local dealers. A careful scrutiny
of the latest quotations in the market
page showed but one change, that on
pine 8 up s. c. sidings quoted at $15 to $17
per M. Latest figures are $16 to $19,
with few, if any, selling.
Lumber manufacturers are at present
engaged stocking up, and aside from the
fact that standing stock is not to be had,
it is difficult to geta promise on future
cut. The manufacturers are endeavoring
to ascertain ‘‘where they are at,”and until
they locate their bearings they will not
hastily discuss contracts tor future cuts.
While some have already made contracts
for next summer's cutting, they are quot-
ing fancy prices simply to stand off would-
be purchasers, Reliable reports show
that a considerable quantity of the future
cut was again secured by English buyers
at standing prices. The demand coming
from the Americans has and will continue
to have a tendency to keep prices in
Ottawa and district buoyant. Said one
dealer, *‘As long as the Ameiicans come
over and purchase stock at the “‘must
have it at any cost” figures, the market
will be unhealthy. Lumber is bringing
more than it is really worth on this side,
but we must rest content to be governed
Until
manufacturing conditions change and it is
found inexpedient to pay the ruling high
price for Ottawa lumber, the local supply
will command its own price,”

that high grade lumber is not to be had
and ordinary stuff continues firm.

The most significant feature of the
rather dull market, however, seems to be
contained in the fact that English buyers
have renewed orders for next summer's
cut at prices as high as reigned a year

The arrival of winter will give an im-
petus to the movement of supplies to the
limits and assist the jobbers in getting
their stocks of pulp wood to the stations.
The fact that snow heid off several weeks
later this year than last, seriously incon-
venienced the movement of supp'ies to the
dista 1 limits. The likes and rivers have
all “taken” since the recent cold snap
and the lumhbermen are happy.

cut of spruce at the St. Anthony Lumber
Comp iny’s mill at Whitney. He thus

pany, at its annual meeting held Jast

Limited, closed their mill down about the
ist of November, having cut out their
stock. They hada very successful season,
cutting about 22 million feet by running
day and night continuously from the ist of
May throughout the summer season with-
out any hitch. They have 300 men in
their camps at Beaverstone.
At present
they have four camps on their limit at
Beaverstone, and expect to get out about
18 million of logs. They have also just
closed a deal with Messrs. Sims Bros. for
about 8 million feet more of high class
logs, which they expect to get early in
May. This will give them ample stock
for their mill for the ensuing season,
The Anderson mill is now rented to Mr.
C. Stewart, late of Honora, a practical
mill man, who is open for contracts to Saw.
Messrs. Smith & Henderson will in all
probability have their stock cut by Mr.
Stewart.
Messrs. Sims Bros. have about 85,000
pieces on skids now and will get in over
100,000 logs. They hive two camps and
about 150 men employed.
Messrs. Smith & Henderson will proba-
bly get out one million feet of white pine,
Norway and hemlock with one camp and
35 men, :
Messrs. J. & T. Charlton are operating
on McGregor Bay with one camp and 3o0
men, taking out cedar ties, posts and
telegraph poles. This company also
have a camp and about 60 men taking
out pine logs north of Killarney. They
will probably get out 3 million feet there
for their Collingwood mill.
The McArthur Company have about 8
million feet on their dock, and J. & T.
Conlon have about 2% million of lumber
to be shipped first thing in the spring.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
As the year draws to a close and active
business is cast aside for the purpose of
taking the \annual inventory, it is not
possible to point toa weak spot in the
lumber market. Prices have maintained a
surprising degree cf strength throughout
the fall months, and as the winter goes by
there seems little prospect of lower prices.
Reports from the Ottawa Valley tell of
active buying of the 1903 cuts for the
British market. It is predicted that with-
in three weeks the entire production of
th ttawa Valley for that market will
have been contracted for. Notwithstand-
ing recent statements tothe effect that
prices were ona parity with those of last
year, some of the largest manufacturers
state that they have placed their stock at
prices fully ten per cent. higher than ruled
one year ago. Inthe Georgian Bay district
buying has not yet become active, as
dealers are reluctant to pay the high
prices asked by manufacturers. This ap-
plies particularly to mill run ; when a
manufacturer is willing to dispose of the
upper grades at reasonable figures he has
no difficulty in finding a buyer. Of the
past season's production good lumber has
been scarce for some time, and recent
buying of mill culls has greatly reduced
the quantity of that grade in the hands of
manufacturers. Red pine deals have
strengthened and promise to command a
better price next season. The car short-
age is still of a serious nature. One man-
ufacturer reports that he has 3,000,000
feet of lumber waiting shipment.
The hardwood situation is favorable to
the holder of stock. The comparatively
small advance that has taken place in the
price of hardwood lumber and the high
cost of labor and supplies has discour-
aged logging operators this winter, and.
consequently a very light stock will be
taken out in some districts and not a large
stock in any district. It is hoped that by
restricting the log production it will be
possible to advance the price of hardwood
lumber to a higher basis.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
The advances that have been made in
the prices of B:itish Colombia lumber aud
shingles for local consumption and for
shipment eastward is likely to be followed
by higher quotations on export lumber. It
is proposed fo issue a new classification
and schedule which will mean an average
advance of about $3 per thousand. This
step has been rendered imperative by the
high price of lags andthe prospect that
still higher prices will prevail. -At the
present time the ruling price on the coast
for logs is from $7.50 to $8 per thousand,
and it is expected that this will be in-
creased by at least one dollar at the he-
ginning of the new year. The fact that
many manufacturers have their storage
room filled up as the result of inability to
secure cars to make shipments is given as
a further reason in favor of curtailing the
production of lumber and shingles. In
point of demand the trade isina very
satisfactory position, and inquiries for
spring delivery have been numerous of
late.
UNITED STATES.
In some sections of the United States
there have been heavy snow-storms within
the past week, causing a temporary check
to the demand for lumber. The incidents
of the week, however, have been favorable
to the market and have produced a feel-
ing of hopefulness in a continuance of
the prevailing prosperous conditions.
Throughout Minnesota there is a decided
scarcity of white pine dimension and a
strong move has been taken by whole-
salers to further advance the price. This
has met with some apposition owing to
the fear of hemlock competition. Indi-
vidual firms are ignoring the association
price list and are making an advance o|
fifty cents. No. 4 boards and strips are
also scarce and in a position to bead:
vanced in price. Norway is anothet
lumber that meets with quick sale and for
which an enlarged demand is anticipatec
in the spring. At Ashland, Wis., one o
the largest holders’ of Norway has ad
vanced the price fifty cents per thousand
Hemlock is firm, contracts being place«
at $10 for delivery next season, on ;
stumpage basis of §2. Dealers in the
Buffato and Tonawanda markets report <

Il.
nents to the east. There has been an
»xcessive demand for 12-inch box lumber,
specially for export. This grade is
| juoted at $20 in Tonawanda, the highest
yrice ever paid for it in that market.
Hardwoods are firm, with a small supply.
‘Ash is seasonably ‘active, although orders
Fire usually for small lots. The shingle
naiket is somewhat stronger, the recent
Weakness having passed away. Lath is
nore plentiful. No. «t pine sells in the
Buffalo market at $3.75 to $4, and No.
ut 50 cents less. There is considerable
jemand for cheap lath, but it is hard
o find.
GREAT BRITAIN.
Dullness prevails in timber circles in
areat Britain, and there is not likely to be
-nuch life to the market until after the holi-
day season. Prices have been well main-
‘ained. Canadian deals are decidedly
irm, spruce being about ten shillings per
standard higher than it was one month
ago. Pine is also held at a slight advance
owing tothe fact that the quotations of
shippers for spring delivery are above the
autumn closing figures. Importers, how-
2ver, are by no means unanimous in their
opinions that shippers will be successful in
obtaining asking prices. Jnanother column
‘will be found the results of an auction sale
held in London, at which second quality
spruce brought £410 10s per standard,
against £10 5s one week earlier, A cargo
of British Columbia pine from Chemainus
brought splendid prices. Itis a difficult
proposition to analyze the British market
at the present time. Shippers are holcing
drices very firmly, while importers are re-
‘using to contract until a lower basis is
reached. Which factor will be successful
will depend to some extent upon the con-
jumption during the next few weeks and
upon the demand experienced from the
vontinent and South Africa. Germany
yas placed orders for some stock, but has
iot taken as much as usual.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY Eprrion
At the Crown Lands office, Fredericton,
N. B., there were sold on December 17th
a timber berth of 2% square miles, situat-
ed between Little and Middle rivers,
Gloucester county. The purchaser was
J. H. Barry, of Fredericton, at $277 per
mile, and theapplicant was Frank J. Mor-
rison. A two-mile berth at Lower Bay
Du Vin was sold to M. Salter at the upset
price. ‘
Under date of December 6th Messrs.
S.P. Musson, Son & Company say of the
Barbadoes market : “There have been no
arrivals of either white pine or spruce since
we last wrote, and both are wanted. First
receipts should command full rates. There
is little or no inquiry for shingles, and no
arrivals have taken place,”’
An advance of fifty cents on 16-foot hem-
lock boards was recently made at Buffalo,
In New York City 50 cents was added to
the price of 10 and 16-foot lengths No,
1 boards, 8, 10 and 12 inches, either rough,
single surfaced, or tongued and grooved,
which makes a difference now of $1 be-
tween the stock in question and 12 and 14-
foot lengths.

accessible for logging purposes and can
be floated down the Columbia river to
Arrow Head, where a shingle mill will
likely be built.

PIECE STUFF AND BOARDS.
While there has not been much change
in white pine prices in the last few weeks,
there are some price features that are of
interest. Good lumber, says the Ameri-
can Lumberman, seems to be steady with
no particular advance, present or imme-
diate prospect, and with no decline for
that matter, but the Scarcity of piece stuff,
which has been a feature of the market
during the year, is more accentuated and
is leading to some serious discussion as to
the advisability of a slight advance. In
the Wisconsin valley there is noted de_
cided strength in No, 4 boards and strips
and an advance of $1 a thousand is being
strongly recommended, but such action
would only accentuate the anomalous
condition of the piece stuff market and
make an advance in the latter the more
necessary,
It is said that in the Minneapolis district
wholesalers who are short of this class of
stock are actually paying a premium of
from 25 lo 75 cents and yet selling to the
retail trade at the list prices, thus incure
ring a positive loss. Such a situation is
intolerable and unless the official list is
advanced it seems likely that individual
lists will be gotten out recognizing the
actual advance in the wholesale market
on piece stuff of 14-foot and up in length—
for there seems to be a plenty of the
short.
The cause for the piece stuff shortage
this year seems to be found in the dis-
position of the mill men to cut their coarse
stock into boards rather than 2-inch, and
the situation in low grade boards and
strips in the Wisconsin valley would indi-
cate a continuance of the practice.
Nevertheless there promises to be a
larger output of piece stuff in proportion
to the total cut next year than this.
Almost certainly the yellow pine people
will be influenced by the firm price of that
part of their list this year as contrasted
with the weakness in upper grades and
dressed lumber. Again, the white pine
people, especially in Minnesota, are cut-
ting more closely than ever before. That
might hardly seem possible, but every-
thing that will make a 2x4 is likely to be
brought in and that process will not be
confined to pine but will extend to tam-
arack, spruce or anything else that is
found upon the land.
There should be an easier situation in
piece stuff in 1903 than there has been
this year, and yet we have seen so many
expectations fail of realization and the
lumber market has so belied experience
and attempt at control that it is hardly
safe to predict with assurance the out-
come of next year’s operations.

TO THE LUMBER TRADE.
In the February number of the CANADA
LUMBERMAN will appear a compilation of
statistics referring to the lumber trade of
1902. Asin previous years, circulars have
been sent to lumber producers throughout
the Dominion, and it is hoped that they
will assist us as heretofore by giving as
much information as possible regarding
the preduction and sale of lumber and the
conditions which prevailed in the trade
throughout ihe year. By means of their
hearty co-operation we hope to present a
review of much value tothe lumber fra-
ternity. Those who have not yet returned
their circulars are respectfully solicited to
do so as soon as convenient.
We shall be pleased to receive re-
ports from different sections of the Domin-
ion as to the production of lumber and
quantity of unsold stock on hand at the
close of the year. Persons sending
such reports will confer a favor upon the
publishers.
The brigatine Ethel Clarke is loading
lumber at Bear River, N.S., for Cienfuegos.
A steamer has been fixed for four voy-
ages from Miramichi, N. B., to w.c. Eng-
land next spring at 4o shillings for deals.

The number of inquiries which
can be found, however,
situation,
have been received by manufacturers and
dealers is taken as a strong indication of
an early and active spring trade. Pine
mill culis were singularly active during
December, and the quantity of unsold
stock in mill yards is much less than was
predicted two months ago. While pros-
pects are bright for all kinds of lumber
and present prices will doubtless be sus-
tained for some months to come, there
are evidences of a rise in price
of both hemlock and basswood lumber.
The demand for hemlock is gradually ex-
panding, whereas the production of logs
this winter will not be above an average
quantity. The cost of obtaining logs is
fully $c per thousand more than last
season, and by many it is predicted that
an advance of $2 in the price of lumber
will follow. The main condition affecting
basswood is the decided scarcity of that
lumber. For some time have
found great difficulty, on account of the
scarcity, in filling orders, and in some
cases have been obliged to refuse large
bills. Recognizing the situation, several
dealers are quietly contracting with manu-
the
dealers

of spruce logs in Quebec and New Bruns-
‘wick will be much smaller than last winter.
One manufacturer advises us that he ex-
pects to secure spruce enough to stock
only one mill, whereas three mills were
stocked last
season. The supply of both
lumber and shingles is so small that a ma-
terial reduction in the log input this winter
‘would be certain to result in higher prices
next year.
UNITED STATES.
A meeting of the Mississippi Valley Lum-
-. bermen’s Association is to be held this
week to revise the price list on lumber.
There are indications that an advance of
fifty cents will be made on piece stuff, the
supply of which is very short. No.4 boards
are also showing strength and have been
advanced one dollar per thousand by sever-
al manufacturers in the Wisconsin Valley.
It is doubtful whether the stock of pine
lumber on hand at the lake markets will be
sufficient to take care of the winter trade,
particularly as there continues to bea large

year ago. Prices there are firm, based on
$17.50 for short pine picce stuff delivered,
Box manufacturers in the Eastern States
are doing a splendid trade. Sales of 1o-
inch box lumber have recently been made
in Buflalo at $19 to the consumer, which is
considered a very good price. Hardwoods
remain firm. Maple is strong and there is
a movement of beech to take the place of
it. The supply of basswood is so small
that it is possible to obtain almost any
reasonable price. Ashand elm are more
plentiful than the other hardwoods.
Logging condititions in the Lake Superi-
or district are excellent and every effort is
being put forthto secure a large crop of
logs. The east makes complaint regard.
ing the continued warm weather, which in
many place has spoiled the roads. Logging
operators state that they are constantly
visited by dealers wishing to purchase
their logs with the idea of having them
sawn to required specifications.
GREAT BRITAIN.
Agents of shippers have abandoned a1
efforts to secure business until after the
Yuletide holidays. Buying for immediate
requirements has been confined largely to
the better class of lumber, the stock of
which is much lighter than of the lower
grades. Owing lo the large import from
the Baltic, a disposition is shown by sell-
ers to moderate their asking prices. ‘It is
estimated that the quantity of Baltic rough
boards in the London docks is sufficient to
supply the requirements for the next nine
months. These conditions do not apply to

deals being in lighter supply than one

position of Baltic
The unfavorable statistical
lumber, however, is
likely to exert a sympathetic influence
upon Canadian stock. Recent public
sales brought good prices for the regular
sizes of pine and spruce deals, 8 inch and
under showing a slight weakness.
The number of lumber cargoes received
at Cleveland, Ohio, during the past sea-
son was 558, and the amount of lumber
delivered 279,000,000 feet. Of the lumber
received Michigan furnished 221 cargoes,
Ontario 120, Wisconsin 122, and Minne-
sota 95.
Guilford V. Peck has purchased the
lumbering property of Howard Stevens at
Memel, N. B.
W. J. Trenouth & Bro., of Powassan,
Ont., are only taking out about 1,000,000
feet of logs this winter, mostly hemlock
and spruce.
B. W. Gagnon, M. P., of St. Stephen,
N.B., states that the cut of logs in Char-
lotte county this winter will not exceed
10,000,000 feet.
In the Philadelphia market spruce plas-
tering lath are stiff at $3.50 for eastern lath
and $3.65 for West Virginia lath. Hem-
lock lath rule about $3.50.
The receipts of lumber at the Tona-
wandas by vessel this season were
407,922,933 feet, 44,673,487 feet less than
in 1901 and 3,000,000 feet less than in
1900.
The timber limits formerly owned by
the Bank of Ottawa and situated near
Princa Albert, N,W.T., have been sold to
Telford & Company, who are operating
them this winter.
D. E. Sprague has commenced cutting
logs near Sprague, Minn. He is also cut-
ting logs along Rainy Lake, which will be
shipped over the Canadian Northern road
to his saw mills at Winnipeg.
Jacob A. Shaver, of Ancaster, Ont.,
has purchased for next season's sawing
about 700,000 feet of logs, including
400,000 feet of white pine and 300,000
feet of white and red oak and some ches-
nut.
The Hamilton & Merriman Company,
of Menominee, Mich., have disposed of
their 1903 cut of lumber to Francis Beidler
& Company, of Chicago. The cut will
amount to 45,000,000 feet, and the con-
sideration is about $750,000.
The Moyie Lumber Company, of Moyie,
B.C., are operating four camps this win-
ter. They have one at Swansea, one
near Monroe Lake, and one on the Clark
ranch. The East Kootenay Lumber Gom-
pany have 150 men employed in lumbering
operations this winter.
The following timber berths will be
offered for sale at the Crown Lands office,
Fredericton, N.B., on Wednesday, Jan-
uary 7th: Three square miles north of

two square miles at Roberville Sett,
Gloucester county, J. J. S. Hachey, appli-
cant; two square miles north of New-
castle Creek, John P. Yeamans, appli-

The Shepard & Morse Lumber Company,
of Ottawa, after a lapse of five years have
decided to resume Operations. The com-
pany has several large camps at work on
its own limits in the Kippewa district tak-
ing out logs. A contract has also been en-
tered into with Alexander Lumsden, ex.
M. P. P., whereby the Shepard & Morse
concern will secure all of the better class
of logs cut on the Lumsden limits this win-
ter, It is expected that between six and
seven million feet will be secured by this
move alone.
The Department of Interior at Ottawa
is asking for tenders up to January 14th

timber on Berth No. 1037 on the north side
of Bad Throat river, comprising ten
square miles, and Berth No. 1036, com-
prising section 30, township 4, range 10,
containing one square mile, both in the
province of Manitoba.
Stocks at the present time, says the Mis-
sissippi Valley Lumbermen, ate very eveiily
balanced in the lowér grades, but in many
instances are in bad shape in the upper
grades, some of the items being outof stock
almost altogether. A feature of the market
is considerable buying by the Chicago and
Kansas City packing houses of No.4 lum-
ber for packing purposes and boxes. Lath
is selling well, bringing the list price.
Mixed of good quality are sold for $4, while
the straight white pine lath brings $3.50.
White pine shingles are rather an erratic
sort of an article, selling in some instances
25 cents off the list and in other Gases sell=
ing at the list prices,

THEJLUMBER TRADE AT DULUTH.
In accordance with their annual custom,
the inspectors and shippers of lumber at
Duluth have prepared their annual state-
ment of the production, shipmeats and
other matters of interest of a statistical na-
ture, relating to the mills on the Duluth:
Superior harbour for the year ending
December 1.
Early inthe season it was expected that
the production and shipments would both
be less than in 1901, but, on the contrary,
there has been an increase in both direc-
tions. The following comparative state.

REMARKABLE HARDWOOD
SITUATION.
Perhaps we have made the observation
before, but it will bear repetition, that in
the hardwood business the present is a
Probably
never before, in proportion to the demand,
really wonderful condition.
has there been sucha small amount of
hardwood lumber available. The scarcity
of dry stock affects everybody but the few
heavy consumers and perhaps a few heavy
dealers who contract their supply so far
ahead that they are not affected by the
conditions of a year. Not only is this so
but all parts of the country are in sub-
stantially the same shape. There is no
lumber worth speaking of anywhere at
the mills or in the markets of the east or
west.
The American Lumberman says that
the scarcity is almost the same in all the
diffe ent kinds of woods. Some are in
more plentiful supply than others, but in
none is there a satisfactory quantity. Not
only are consumers and dealers looking
for stock but manufacturers themselves.
There are many heavy saw mill men who
have their regular trade that they wish to
supply. Being unable this year to meet
the requirements of their customers from
their own stocks they are in the market
for additional supplies. Producers who
never did sucha thing before are now
trying to buy. This is particularly notice-
able with the quartered oak producers.
Instances have been known where such
people have within a week paid $4 a
thousand more for common quartered oak
than they would have had to pay four
weeks ago and they are unable to find at
any price the quantity that they want.
As to first and second quartered oak
the market is almost bare and it is hardly
possible to quote a price which will fairly
represent the market. In Chicago there
is a wide range, with its lowest limit at
above $60. Red quartered is practically
exhausted. An anomalous condition is
seen in the prices of plain sawed red and
white oak. They are almost as scarce as
quartered sawed, but the price has ad-
vanced hardly at all within the last six
months. One reason for this may be that
the supply of plain sawed oak can be re-
plenished with much ease as compared
with quarter sawed, though, of course, in
either case there remains the problem of
drying.
In cottonwood there is an unheard of
situation. Within a few weeks there was
a sale of a considerable quantity of log
run cottonwood at $17.50 on barge. We
do not have to think back very far to the
time when anything over $10 would have
been a fair price.
Another wood of the same general
class as cottonwood and poplar is bass-

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The developments of the past week
have but borne ovt the prediction that
there would be a firm market for lumber
throughout the winter months. We are
told of the visit, even at this early date, of
Chicago and eastern buyers to the mills in
the Georgian Bay district for the purpose
of picking up suitable lots of dry stock
and of arranging for a supply for spring
shipment. Already a large percentage of
the white pine cut of the coming season
has been placed under contract, and we
have reason to believe that the prices have
been very favorable to the seller.
The Ottawa Valley production of deals
for the British market, which will be less
in quantity than last year, has toa large
extent been purchased by the middlemen.
W. & J. Sharples have secured the Ed-
wards and Hawkesbury cuts; Watson &
Todd the Arnprior cut of McLachlan
Bros.; Cox & Company the. cut of Mac-
laren & Company, Buckingham ; The
McAtthur Export Company the cut of
Gillies Bros., Braeside; Duncan, Ewing &
Company the cut of McLaurin & McLaren,
East Templeton, and Dobell, Beckett &
Company and W. & J. Sharpels the cut of :
the Three Rivers mills. The balance of
the cuts are under negotiation and will no
doubt be immediately contracted for. The
price, in nearly every case, represents an
advance on last year’s figures.
In hemlock and hardwoods the market
is steadily gaining strength and seems
likely to reach a higher basis for the 1903
production. Some classes of hardwood
lumber are so scarce that dealers have
abandoned all efforts to find a stock
sufficiently large to handle at a profit, and
are devoting their attention to placing
contracts for the new cut.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Quebec spruce lumber is being con-
tracted for quite freely, a large portion of
the deal production having already been
purchased at an
year’s prices. On account of the in-
creased cost of logging there seems
little probability that the cut will be any
larger than last year, while by some it is
predicted that the quantity of logs tak>a
out for lumber will this season shoy 4
reduction. The increased cost of stunip-
age will also tend to sustain prices. The
figures of the Miramichi lumber trade
The total ship-
ments jor the season were 122,000,000
feet, a decrease, of 7,000,000 feet as
compared with the previous year. The

UNITED STATES,
The price list committee of the Missis-
sippi Valley Lumbermen's’Association-at a
meeting last week decided to make no
advance in the price of dimension timber.
One of the main objections was that the
beginning of the year was no time to make
such an advance, which might discourage
Prospective building operations. Fear of
competition from yellow pine was ad-
vanced as another reason for continuing
the price on the old basis. It was decided,
however, to make an advance of $1 on
No. 1 4-inch fencing in all lengths and
No. 2 4-inch fencing in 16 foot lengths.
Eight inch selects were made the same
price as 10-inch, which is equivelant to an
advance of $1. The statements given out
at the meeting showed the white pine
trade to be in a Prosperous condition.
While trade is light Owing to weather con-
ditions, there is a bright outlook for an
active spring business. Box makers at
Buffalo have advanced prices, in some
cases equal to 10 per cent. Norway pine
is Scarce and other lumber is taking the
place of it in many cases. Prices of hard-
wood lumber are steadily growing strong-
er, under the lead of guarter sawed oak,

quality broads and planks. The broad
pine is unusually scarce; in fact, all pine -
is scarce, but the broads especially so.
The last sale of a small line of 3 by 12/22
Ist pine, 12/13 feet, ‘was arranged at
433 108 per standard, but it is extremely
doubtful if similar stocks could be had now
even at this fancy figure, For the plank
(3 by 11) £31 10s is being obtained, in
small quantities, for good shipments,
Second and third quality plank and deals
are proportionately as dear.

John Kilburn, a large logging operator
in Quebec, reports the outlook for the Sea-
son’s work to be very promising. The cut
in Quebee this winter will be about up to
the average. Mr. Kilburn will cut from
5,900,000 to 6,000,000 feet in Quebec, ana
on the American side about 1,500,000.
The cut on the Allegash this winter will
not be as heavy as last winter, but there
will be a larger cut on Black River. John
McConnell, of Marysville, will cut from
8,000,000 to 10,000,000 feet on the Black
River, he being one of the heaviest Opera-

HARDWOODS AT BUFFALO.
Of the hardwood market at Buffalo the
American Lumberman says:
Demand is such that practically all deal-
ers report a decrease of stock and no pros-
pect of making up the deficiency right
away. The scarcity of quartered oak is
such that the present price, $66 to $68 for
inch, js not considered enough. One deal-
er is certain that it will be $7o inside of
two weeks. Others agree that the tend-
ency is in that direction. The scarcity of
oak is equaled by that of basswood and
cherry. Basswood does not go up materi-
ally, as it is usec in many branches of the
business that cannot afford to pay a high
price. Cherry makes its own price. Every
dealer has his own and if the first custom-
er fails to pay it the second takes it. There
is some white ash on the market, but it is
not in much demand. Black ash and elm
sell well, and red birch is wanted every-
where.
formerly.
There is less call for maple than
DOORS AND MILL WORK.
The new year starts in with bright aus-
pices for the manufacturers and distribut-
ers of doors and mill work. Scarcely any
of the distributing houses have been ac-
tively canvassing the trade during the past
two weeks, but their attention has been
devoted mainly to closing up the work of
the old year, inventorying of stock and
preparations for an active prosecution of
business starting in this week through
the year. Still there has been a fairly
good trade, mavy door men pronouncing

usual volume and urgency for the holiday
season and the general expression having
been that December was, all things con-
sidered, one of the best months of the
year. Door men usually expect very little
business in December, but the past month
was a record-breaker and carried with it
a good augury for an active trade during
the rest of the winter and spring.
The attention of Canadian lumber manu-
facturers is directed to the announcement
of William Sutcliffe, Sons & Company, of
Liverpool, England, on page viii of this
paper. They wish to secure the British
agency for a Canadian firm at present un-
represented on the other side.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The most noticeable features of general
market conditions are the strength of
prices and the marked degree of hopeful-
ness as to the outlook for spring business.
There does not seem to be an unfavorable
indication. Architects throughout the prov
ince have a large volume of work in their
hands, with instructions to proceed with
building operations as soon as possible in
the spring. This branch of industry
promises to consume fully as much lumber
as during the past year, when a very
satisfactory trade was done. In the face
of the present price of lumber and other
materials, the bright outlook for building
is regarded with significance.
There is not the slightest indication of a
break in lumber prices. Manufacturers
report that the number of buyers visiting
their mills is increasing almost daily, and
that they show a willingness to contract
for stock at current prices. A few manu-
facturers are accepting $18 for log-run
pine, while others are holding for $20.
There is very little dry stock to be ob-
tained. It is not uncommon to learn of
manufacturers who cut as much as 20,-
000,000 feet the past season having less
than 1,000,000 feet of unsold stock in
their yards.
Everyone in the hardwood trade is look-
They pcint

and that it is each year becoming the
more difficult to secure hardwood logs.
For mill-run birch from $17 to $18 at the
mill is being asked. Dealers are en-
deavoring to purchase hardwood logs so
as to ensure a supply of lumber.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The statement of the wintering stocks
at Quebec has been issued and shows a
decrease in many items as compared with
Although the supply of
Waney pine was 1,830,120 cubic feet, or
400,000 cubic feet more than one year |
ago, the stock carried over is
one year ago.
100,000
These figures indicate a
materially larger export. Of square pine

ing largely from a decreased supply. In
the hardwoods birch and elm are in lighter
stock, while oak and ash are heavier by
60,000 and 25,000 cubic feet respectively.
Spruce deals are represented by 8,000,000
feet, a light stock, although 1,300,000
feet more than one year ago. The present
outlook is for a strong market in the
spring.
In Quebec and New Brunswick logging
operations are active, although until re-
c.nt'y mild weather prevented successful
work in Nova Scotia. The log production
will not be excessive. Manufacturers are
holding firmly to prices, and from the
number of inquiries received expect to
have no difficulty in disposing of their
season's production at good prices. New
Brunswick shingles and laths are still
scarce.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,
The present quiet season in the lumber
trade is welcomed by manufacturers, who
will thus be enabled to reduce the number
of unfilled orders on their books. The
building trade throughout the west was so
active last year that in the fall there de-
veloped a great scarcity of building ma-
terial, as the result of which many _build-
ings, especially in the city of Winnipeg,
remain in an uncompleted state. Weather
conditions until the close of the year were
favorable for outdoor work, but it was
found impossible to
Every effort will be made to resume work
early in the spring, and the movement of
lumber in anticipation thereof may be ex-
pected shortly. Prices of British Colum-
bia lumber continue firm, with no indica-
tion of a decline.
secure material.
UNITED STATES.
From point of demand from retailers
and consumers the past week has been
quiet.
however, have been maintained. Buyers
are now contracting for the 1903 cut, and
in many cases the prices paid are higher
than one year ago. Fear of a further ad-
vance in the spring has stimulated business
and brought into the market buyers who
intended to defer purchasing until the
spring. The outlook for the new cut is
very bright, although it is believed that
manufacturers will discourage further ad-
Prices on all classes of lumber,
vances, on the ground that if prices can
be kept normal the consumption will be
larger. The box shook trade is active
and there may be an advance in box ma-
terial in the near future. At Buffalo and
Tonawanda there is a great scarcity of
2-inch cuts, which have been marked up
to $55 to $57 for No. 1, and $43 to $45 for
No. 2. A price record was recently made
in Boston, when upwards of $100 was
paid for wide widths of white pine.
Hardwood lumber is stiffening in price,
the scarcity of dry stock being almest
without a parallel. Considering the light
supply, prices should advance still further.
There is no supply of basswood.
The shingle market is alittle quiet but
stocks are small. Inthe Saginaw Valley
white pine are worth $3.10 and $4.15.
GREAT BRITAIN.
Statistics of stocks on hand on Decem-
ber 31st last have been received as yet
only from the port of Glasgow. These
clearly explain the high price of first-
quality pine deals, the stock of which is but
456 standards, as compared with 713 stand-
ards one year ago. Of second-quality pine
the stock is but 1,186 standards against 507
standards at same time last year. It is diffi-
cult to account for the disparity between
the two stocks, and many importers are of
the opinion that the lower prices for second-
quality pine will stimulate consumption.
There isa slightly larger stock of third
and fourth quality pine, but red pine is less
than one-third that of last year. Quebec
spruce deals is in heavier stock, the supply
being 5,054 standards, against 3,752 stand-
ards one year ago. Itis not known how far
these figures reflect the stock situation at
other British centres, but it will probably
be found that London and Liverpool have 4
lighter stock comparatively. The stock
of red pine is so light that there should be
a favorable opportunity for early imports
in the spring. The stock of oak logs is
considerably increased from last year,
although prices have advanced and now
range about 3s. 6d. to 3s. 9d. for logs 48
feet long and 12 in diameter.
Prices of elm are a shade weaker, while
birch shows a firmer tendency. Ash is
dull, partly on account of the unsatisfac-
tory condition of the furniture trade.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
W. W. Carter, of Fesserton, Ont., has
five camps in operation at Uhthoff and
will have a large stock of logs for next
season.
W.H. Higgins, of Vancouver, B. C.,
who already has two logging camps up
the coast, is opening up a third camp at
Malaspina Inlet.
The city of Winnipeg, Man., is asking
for tenders up to February grd for the
supply of from 1,000 to 1,500 cords of
cedar paving wood.
In the Tonawanda market better prices
are being obtained for spruce than for
some time, Nos. 1, 2 and 3 being quoted
at $28, $23 and $20 respectively.
The Holland & Graves Lumber Com-
pany, of Byng Inlet, Ont., are employing
between 800 and 1,000 men in the woods
this winter and expect to put in 60,000,000
feet of logs.
S. O. Fisher, of Bay City, who is
operating near Blind River, Ont., has thir-
teen camps going and nearly 25,000,000
feet of logs on the skids ready tor hauling.
He expects to get in 30,000,000 feet.
The stock of lumber at Cleveland, Ohio,
is about the same as at this time last year,
although there is a lighter supply of lath
and shingles. Stocks are asa rule much
greener. Dry lumber is out of the ques-
tion unless it be kiln-dried.

A scarcity of No. 1 elm staves is re-
ported. The second-class staves for
apple barrels were not all used up, so an

$18 to $18.50 for seconds. The only
arrival of shingles is 168,000 Laying

There is very little inquiry at this season,
but we hear that a cargo of this descrip-
tion is expected.”
Although hardwoods advanced fully 25
per cent. in 1902 the tendency, the Missis-

There was no let-up in the general inquiry
for all kinds of hardwoods the past few
days and the point has been raised as to
how large consumers are to get along,
especially those who have no surplus
stock to run for the next five months.
Buyers are in the market right along and
the trade is above the average for the
opening of the year. There are no new
features in any wood. All are having a
good sale and the trade is gradually be-
coming accustomed to a higher level of
values.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY LOG
PRODUCTION.
The estimated output of logs for 1g02-
1903 is the largest on record. A reliable
record shows that on the Spanish, Nipis-
sing and Ottawa rivers, including the
Lower Ottawa, probably 9,500,000 logs
will be taken out and about 500,000 pieces
of cedar, including ties and poles.
The total quantity of square timber and
waney timber for export from Quebec
next summer will reach 2,500,0c0 cubic
feet.
Reports from thé limits show that the
work is progressing satisfactorily, al-
though a scarcity of teams is reported
from some districts. Trouble was experi-
enced up to a week ago getting supplies
in at certain points on the Upper Ottawa,
as the ice was either absent entirely or
insecure. Supplies had to be taken across
by ferry at a cost five times increased
over normal conditions. The intense cold
of the past few days has, however,
remedied this trouble.
All the deals of the cut of 1903 have
been sold, and the ten per cent, advance
over last year’s prices mentioned on the
first sales made early in the Fal! has been
maintained. A reference made ina recent
letter to a similarity in prices between the
two years referred to small lots of lumber
picked up for the local or the American
markets.
Inquiry at the local railway offices goes
to show that lumber shipments are very
Car shortage and the
lull natural to the turn of the year are
held responsible for this. There is prac-
tically no manufactured lumber on the
market.

TIMBER LIMIT TRANSFERS.
Timber limits in the Maritime Provinces
are changing hands quite actively. In
Restigouche County, N. B., the Shives
Lumber Company have acquired the
Muskoka property; the Wm. Richards
Company, of Miramichi, now control the
Alexander property and Hilyard Bros.
and Geo. McKean, of St. John, have just
purchased the timber properties of Geo.
Moffatt, of Dalhousie. The lim ts include
450 square miles in Restigouche county
and a large tract in Quebec, and in addi-
tion large privileges. The
price is said to be $200,000.
C. J. Willis & Company, of Sackville,
N. B., have purchased the timber limits
and mills in Newfoundland held by the St.
George's Lumber Company, which is
composed almost entirely of New Glasgow
parties. The limits are situated between
Bay St. George and the Bay of Islands,
and consist of several alternate lots which
are intersected by the Reid Railway, and
comprise some 300 square miles or about
197,000 acres of virgin timber land. There
are splendid saw mills in conjunction.
Owing to the lateness of the season only
about 8,000,000 feet of logs will be taken
out this winter, but it is Mr. Willis’ inten-
tion to cut from 15,000,000 to 20,000,000
feet each year.
milling
A syndicate of Halifax capitalists head-
ed by Mr. Davidson have secured control
of the St. Croix timber properties of Mr.
T. G. McMullen, of Truro, and the South
Maitland property of the same gentleman
ha passed into the possession of Mr.
Herbert Crowe, of Dartmouth, and Mr.
C. E. Crowe, of Old Barns, Colchester
county. In addition to the limits it includes
a large modern mill at South Maitland
Station. The -purchase~ price of this -pro-
‘perty is not announced, but it is thought to
be over $50,000. The new firm will take
over the outstanding contracts of the
former owners, together with about one
million feet of logs now in the mill
pond.
The Tobique Manufacturing Company,
of which Mr. F. H. Hale, M. P., was the
originator, are reported to have disposed
of their timber limit holdings to Donald
Fraser & Sons, of Fredericton, N. B.
The following charters are reported :
Str. Arecunia, St. John, N. B., to w. c.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
Sales of the coming season’s cut are be-
coming more frequent. Numerous buy-
ers are visiting the leading producing
points and taking an inventory of stocks
on hand and to be cut. Where excessive
prices are not asked a disposition is shown
to close contracts, as in some quarters it
is predicted that there will be an early ad-
vance in some of the lower grades of pine
lumber. It is clearly evident that dealers
are accumulating stocks at every oppor-
tunity in anticipation of an active spring
trade. After the spring requirements are
supplied, there may bea slight weaken-
ing in prices, but no person looks for any
midsummer. If trade
should expand to the extent that now
seems probable, the demand would likely
be sufficient to sustain the present
range of values well through the year.
Pine culls are moving more freely. The
shingle market is steady, with the demand
somewhat quiet. No new features have

Before the new cut is ready for
veloped a famine in stock such as has not
been known for some time, and a higher
range of values seems imminent. Satisfac-
tory progress is being made with logging
operations.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The buying of spruce lumber has indi-
cated that present prices are likely to be
maintained. Dealers have bought quite
heavily for export to Great Britain, and
the cuts of the leading mills have passed
out of first hands.*. The lower grades have
come into prominence on account of in-
creased buying by box concerns and for
shipment to the Eastern States. Shippers
are asking increased prices for square and
waney timber. They anticipate a good
demand and]strong market throughout
the year. There is no particulary change
in New Brunswick stock. Cedar shingles
are rather quiet, but the price of $3.50 for
extras on Boston rate of freight is still the
average selling figure. Laths are slightly
weaker on account of lower quotations
from New York.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,
Many of the dealers are now visiting the
lumbering producing points for the pur-
pose of purchasing their supplies for the
coming season. It is predicted, even at
this early date, that the mills will be uaable
to supply the demand for lumber in the
west. Arrangements are being made to
Il.
commence building” operations early in the
spring, and it is believed that the rush for
lumber will result in at least a temporary
advance, with a strong probability of a
higher range of values continuing through-
out the year. Dealers are looking to-
wards British Columbia to supply a large
proportion of the season’s requirements,
many new mills having recently been erect-
ed in that province.
UNITED STATES,
The market has shown greater activity.
Dealers are looking for opportunities to
buy lumber, amd while there is some com-
plaint that manufacturers have set their
figures too high, there is reason to believe
that dealers will have to meet them. The
statement of production and stocks on
hand, referred to elsewhere, shows that
the supply of white pine at the close of
last year was nearly 300,000,000 feet less
than at the close of 1901. Hardwoods
make a still more favorable showing, the
stock at the northern mills being about 40
per cent. less than one year ago. These
figures offer little ground on which to base
the expectation of a decline in lumber
prices. At Buffalo white and Norway
pine is very firm. The box trade is in
better position than at almost any other
similar time, and an advance in the price
of box lumber is looked for. At Cleveland
there has been of late an unusually heavy
demand for 6, 8, 10 and 12 inch No. g
common boards, and on this grade prices
have stiffened. The wholesale price is $20
for 6, 8 and io inch, and $22.50 for 12
inch. The quantity of lath in the yards in
that city at the close of the year was found
to be less than anticipated, resulting in
very firm prices. No. 1 brings $4.25 and
No. 2 $3.75.
The lumber that is now being purchased
by retail dealers is largely for factory use,
as building lumber has not yet commenced
to move. While actual advances on hard-
woods are not reported, dealers are in
many instances selling above list quota-
tions. Dealers have almost suspended
efforts to locate any quantity of basswood,
consequently the price is nominal. While
the shingle trade is quiet, prices are firm,
and dealers are picking up suitable lots
wherever they can be found.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The Board of Trade returns show that
during the year 1902 the import of lumber
into the United Kingdom was slightly
larger than in the previous year, | the
figures being 6,676,726 loads and
6,281,000 loads respectively. From Can-
ada the import was 1,639,668 loads in
1902 and 1,517,234 loads in 1901. The
consumption was about equal to the im-
port,’as the quantity of stock on hand is
nearly the same as one year ago. Repre-
sentatives of Quebec shippers are can-
vassing in the usual channels for orders
and have met with some success, al-
though there seems to be a deep-seated
conviction that shippers’ prices are too
high. Nevertheless, there is no pressure
to sell and it is believed that buyers will
yield. Prices for lumber in stock are un-
usually firm. At a recent auction sale
several lots of Quebec fourth quality
spruce, 3x9 inches wide and 12 feet long,
brought £9 per standard, which is said to
be the highest price ever obtained under
the hammer for this quality. For winter
shipments the c. i. f. price is about £7
10S. another quarter comes the
report that spruce deals and battens lying
in the docks are selling at £10 5s for 3x9

Stetson, Cutler & Co.
H.J.Beemer, contractor for the Ottawa,

It is expected that the cut of logs on the
Tobique River, in New Brunswick, this

of skirting, moulding, etce., 9,500 doors,
4,900 windows and 1,750 mantles. The
time for the receipt of tenders was January
7th, but the Canadian Commissioner writes
that the date will likely be postponed long
enough to permit of Canadian firms ten-
dering if they desire. |
Under date of January 3rd Messrs. S.P.
Musson, Son & Company say of the Bar-
badoes market : ‘‘The only arrival of white
pine to note since our last is the
“Olinda” from Halifax, N.S., with 140,-
ooo feet to our address, also a small lot of
hemlock. This cargo we placed at Dem-
erara on C. F. terms. The market is in a
fair position and white pine could be sold
at about $25 or over for shipping and $20.-
50 for second quality. In spruce there has
been no further receipts, but we under-
stand another cargo has been placed for
prompt shipment at about same ratesias
previously advised, and we have placed
100,000 feet of hemlock for future ship-
ment on private terms. The lot of Laying
shingles referred to in ours of 20th
ultimo was sold at $1.82.”
THE GLASGOW MARKET.
In reviewing the timber trade of the
Clyde, Messrs. Calder, Henderson | &
Livingston, Glasgow, say of Canadian
timber :
WHITE PINE—WaANEY.—There was a
full import during the year with a fair de-
mand, and although the stock carried
over shows an increase as compared with
this time last year, it is by no means too
heavy. Prime wood has been in demand
and values have reached a high level.
19 to 20 inch string of long average
has been selling from 3s 5d to 3s gd; short
girthy timber from 3s 1d to 3s 3d; second
class, 2s gd to 2s 9d per cubic foot.
SQuARE— There has been fair demand
and what was imported has gone well in-
to consumption. It leaves the stock very
similar to last year. Quotations are at 2s
5d to 2s 10d tor first-class 35 to 45 feet
average ; 21d to 2s 2d per c. ft. for good
fair average.
Rep PINE.—This has been imported
more freely than for some years back, but
it has gone well into consumption and
stocks are moderate. Prime wood of
large size only isin demand, and it has
been selling at from 1s 10d to 2s 3d per
Cigt:
EL_mM.—While the import has been an
average one it has consisted very largely
of soft elm. Prime rock elm has been
well taken up at prices ranging from 2s od
to 3s 1d per c. ft for 40 to 50 feet average.
Soft elm is practically unsaleable and is
quoted at from 18d to 2s per c. ft.
Oak.—There has been a heavy import
and as the demand has only been an
average oneit leaves us with increased
stocks. Prime wood 7o to 75 feet average
is quoted at 3s 6d to 3s gd, and second- °
class from 2s to 2s 8d per c. ft.
AsH.—The import has been much too
heavy. When the decreased demand is
taken into account, stocks show a ma-
terial increase. Some parcels have been
cleared at very low figures, but current
quotations are at 20d to 2s per c. ft. for 14
to 15 inch average.
BiRCH.—The import has been small,
Stocks have been reduced and prices are
very firm at 20d to 22d per c. ft. for 16
inch average. A noticeable feature this
year has been the import of planks, but
the business has been overdone, and
/prices have gone to a low figure. They
are quoted at from £9 to £11 per St.
Petersburg standard.
DEALS, BATTENS AND BoaRpDs.—The
opening of the year found us with a very
low stock of deals of all qualities, and
while this had the eftect of forcing the
merchants to contract for early shipment
it had also the effect of making business
very free when the Canadian season
opened. A good tone has been noticeable
throughout the season with a gradual
improvement on values, particularly in the
higher qualities. Pine—Firsts—The im-
port has never been able to keep pace
with the demand, and prices are firm.
Quotations are as follows : Broad deals,

LUMBER PRODUCTION AND STOCKS.
Statistics show that the production of
pine lumber in the states of Michigan,
Wisconsin and Minnesota has steadily de-
clined since 1892, when the cut reached
8,594,222,80z feet. The cut of 1902 was
41294,395,000 feet, a decrease of 42,000,-
000 as compared with the previous year.
An interesting showing as to the condi-
tion of pine stocks at the present time is
found by comparing the percentage of
stocks to the lumber product in 1g02 with
the figures of previous years. For nine
years beginning with 1894 the average
stock carried at the mills at the end of
the year was 54% per cent. of the year’s
product. At the end of 1902 the stock at
the mills was only 40 per cent. of the
product of that year. The quantity on
hand was 2,112,719,000 feet, a decrease
of 275,000,000 feet as compared with
1901.
The shingle production in the states
named was 1,665,757,000 in 1902 and

2,471,627,000 in 1901, and the stock on
hand 397,811,000 and 3451545,000 respect-
ively for the two years. The quantity of
lath produced was 1,467,017,000 in 1902
and 5,267,166,000 in 1901, and the stock
on hand 495,176,000 and 386,048,000 re-
spectively.
Statistics of hardwood show a remark-
able reduction in the quantity of stock on
hand. In 1901 711 mills reported a pro-
duction of 790,592,000 feet, with a stock
at close of the year of 422,376,000 feet,
In 1902 621 mills reported a production of
7391315,090 feet and astock on hand of
256,622,000 feet, are duction of 39 per cent.
as compared with the previous year. This
plainly illustrates the general situation in
the hardwood market,
The production of northern hemlock
Was 1,277,814,000 feet in 1902 and 1,264,-
943,000 feet in 1901. The stock on hand
atthe close of the year was 441,634,000
feet, a decrease of over 130,000,000 feet

THE BOSTON MARKET.
Spruce lumber at Boston is still very
quiet, though some improvement is noted
in the inquiry. One order has been placed
during the week for 125,000 feet matched
spruce plank at a little above association
prices. The supply in this market is not
large, and promises to be still further
reduced by the fact that some of the
mills in eastern Maine have _ been
obliged to shut down owing to the preva-
lence of smallpox among the mill hands.
Some of the manufacturers have been
obliged to return orders unfilled on
this account. The quotations are: Ten and
12-inch dimensions, $21 to $22; g-inch and
under, $19 to $20 ; 10 and 12-inch random
lengths, 10 feet and up, $20.50; 2x3, 2x4,
2X5, 2x6, 2x7, and 3x4, 10 féet and up,
$17 to $17.50 ; all other randoms, 9g-inch
and under, to feet and up, $18 to $18.50 ;
5-inch and up, merchantable boards, $17 ;
matched boards, $18 to $20; out spruce
boards, $13 ; bundle furring, $17.
Hemlock lumber is quiet but steady :
Boards, 12, 14 and 16 feet stock, $14.50
to $15 for good eastern; Pennsylvania,
No. 1, $18 to $193 No. 2, $15 to $16.
Western pine lumber is very firm, with
a fair demand and only a moderate sup-
ply : Uppers, 1 to 2 in, $84 to $87;
2% to 3 in. $92 to $97; 4-in. $96 to $100; se-
lects,1 in. $76; 1% to 1% in. $76 to $78; 2-
in. $78 ; 2% to 3 in. $84; 4 in. $86 ; fine
common, 1-in, $67 ; 1% to 1% in. $69 ;
z2-in. $72; 2% to 3 in. $80; 4-in.
$82; barn boards, $23 to $33; coffin
boards, $28 to $32.
Hardwood lumber holds very firm, es-
pecially for choice selections of floor-
ing. Quotations are not changed :
Quartered oak, $63 to $75; plain oak,
$42 to $47 ; common and rejects, $20 to
$25 ; red oak, plain, $43 ; whitewood, $45
to $47 ; sap and common, $30 to $35 ;
brown ash, $41 to $44; white ash, $43
to $46; maple, $30 to $34; end-dried
white maple, $42 ; birch, $27 to $30;
birch, 75 per cent. red, $45 to $50 ; elm,
$29 to $31.
Shingles are steady at unchang-
ed prices: Extra cedar, $3.50 to
$3.55; clear, $3; second clear,$2.50; extra
No. 1, $1.75 to $1.80; British Col-

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
It isnot possible to chronicle an actual
advance in prices of white pine, but from
the standpoint of the manufacturer such
By this
statement is meant that the prices which
the manufacturers have established as the
basis on which to sell the 1903 production
represent an advance on what was figured
apon one month ago. ~ These “prices have
not met the views of the buyers. Some
are acceding to the demands of the
manufacturers and contracting for their
season’s supply as nearly as it can be esti-
mated ; others are holding back and
watching the situation with great interest.
The situation is an interesting one, but it
seems that the manufacturers hold the
whip hand, particularly as their action is
justified in a large measure by the in-
creased cost of producing lumber. The
average asking price of log run pine is
perhaps about $20; for a specially fine
lot of logs as high as $22 has been asked,
but we have heard of no sales at that
figure. The American buyers are an
aggressive factor in the white pine mar-
ket, and the competition thus engendered
makes the position of the manufacturer a
comparatively easy one.
The movement of hardwoods is large
considering the supply and the season of
the year. Dealers and consumers are
anxious to increase their stocks and to
arrange for a reasonable supply for the
spring and summer, but it has been found
difficult to make much headway in that
direction. Higher prices are predicted
before spring.
a circumstance has transpired.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
There is a strong demand in the Eastern
Provinces for all classes of timber and
lumber. Our Quebec list this week has
been advanced to correspond with the
general appreciation in the value of square
and waney timber. Doubtless the present
winter’s production will pass from the pro-
ducer to the shipper at prices heretofore
unheard of. Spruce deals are in steady
inquiry. For delivery at St. John $15 per
Il.
thousand is being paid for a specification
of 20 per cent. 11 inch, 45 per cent. 9 inch,
and balance 8 and 7 inch.

The large manufac-
instances this price has been shaded about

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,
The lumber trade of the western prov-
inces continue to look for an unusually
active season. Preparations are being
made to meet the increased demand for
lumber which will arise not only from
extensive building operations but also on
account of the steadily increasing number
of settlers. A new wholesale list for
white pine is about to be put into effect,
which will show advances of from $1 to
$5 per thousand. Dimension stock will be
marked up $1 and finishing stock and
selects $5. This advance will be general
throughout the west so far as Canadian
manufacturers are concerned. Repre-
sentatives of United States mills who are
now in Winnipeg are said to be cutting
prices and refusing to act in harmony
with the Canadian manufacturers.
UNITED STATES.
It is necessary to look beyond the move-
ment of stock to discover the real strength
of the lumber market. Trade is not
particularly active, being restricted by the
usual winter conditions. Prices, however,
are surprisingly strong. At Tonawanda
there has been an advance in Nos. 1 and
2 cuts, uppers, selects and fine common,
with indications of a further advance as
stock diminishes. In the Lake Superior
district several sales of white pine have
been made at prices about $2 per thousand
above those which ruled one year ago,
There is renewed agitation for an advance
in the price of dimension stock, but no
action is likely to be taken before the
annual meeting of the Mississippi Valley
Lumbermen’s Association next month.
Retail dealers in the Eastern States are
believed to be carrying light stocks, and
as soon as they become convinced that
prices are not likely to decline an active
trade may be expected. Hardwoods show
no signs of depression. Since the first of
the year they have continued to be in
good demand. The feature is the strength
of plain and quartered oak. In the Buffalo
market the range for inch quartered white
oak is $66 to $70. Maple has come into
greater favor and is being used as a sub-
stitute for white ash, which is regarded as
too high in price for general use.
The shingle market is stiff. Advice
comes from Tonawanda that an advance
of ten cents on white pine shingles has
taken place, attributed to their growing
scarcity at the mills. Lath is quoted in
that market at $4 for No. 1 and $3.50 for
No. 2, with 25 cents less for Norway.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The British timber trade has reached a
partial deadlock, and very little business
for the coming season has as yet been
closed for North of Europe lumber. The
prices asked by shippers have reached
such a high level that importers decline to
purchase. The latter claim that the con-
dition of the trade does not warrant the
In respect to Canadian
lumber the situation is much more favor-
able the advance being proportionately

et
moderate. Representatives of Quebec
shippers are endeavoring to establish an
advance of ro shillings per standard on
last year’s prices and have already closed
some contracts on this basis. It is be-
lieved that no difficulty will be encount-
ered in placing the entire stock of spruce
at £9 10s and £9 c.i.f. for 3x9 second and
third quality spruce respectively. The
parcels of spruce per regular liners from
St. John, N.B., are being sold on the
basis of $7 10s. c.i.f. Prices of pine are
correspondingly high, with litile prospect
of any drop in the market in the near fu-
At a recent aution sale in London
both pine and spruce sold readily and

spruce £7 was obtained, and for 2x5 £6

taken at the high figure of £9 15s, and
some fourth quality at £8*5s. Attention

STOCKS AND PRICES.
It 1s understood that the Rat Portage
Lumber Company will greatly increase
their cut of lumber during the coming sea-
son.
The New Brunswick Government will
offer for sale on February 4th a timber
berth of 2 square miles on the east and
west branches of Turtle Creek, the appli-
cant for which is M. Dryden.
—The Dominion Government is asking
for tenders by February qth for a license
to cut timber on Berth No. 323 lying to
the west of Harrison Lake, in British Col-
umbia, and containing 960 acres.
Jobbers at Buffalo quote dry elm staves
at $8.50 to $8.75 for first-class, basswood
heading at 534 to 6 cents, and hoops at
$10.75 to $11.25 for 5% foot and $11 to
$11.50 for 6 foot.
Lumbering in the vicinity of St. Martin's,
N.B., is quite active. Townes & White
are cutting for Carson Bros. Other op-
erators in the vicinity include the O'Neill
Lumber Company, Burchill Bros. and the
Prescott Lumber Company.
The schooner ‘‘V.T.H.” sailed last
week from Annapolis, N.S., for the West
Indies. The “Brigatine” is loading lumber
at Bear River, N.S., the ‘““Edward D” at
Annapolis, and the ‘‘Aldine” at Wey-
mouth, all for the West Indies.
The Steamer Pretorian sailed from St.
John, N. B., on Monday last for Liver-
pool, her cargo including 400 standards
of deals. The steamer Indreni sailed on
same day for Glasgow with 125 standards
of deals, 100 tons of pulp and other
cargo.
William Whitmer & Sons, of Philadel-
phia, have discontinued the lumber yard
which they have conducted on Tonawan-
da Island for some years. The remainder
of their stock, about 1,000,000 feet of
white pine, was sold to L.H. Swan & Co.,
of North Tonawanda.
It is reported that Moore, Keppell &
Company, of Port Wing, Wisconsin, have
sold the entire stock of their mill this year,
amounting to about 17,000,000 feet of
Norway and white pine, the purchasers
being the Nicola, Stone & Myers Com-
pany and Potter, Teare & Company, of
Cleveland, Ohio.
It is a significant fact that the market
at St. John, N. B., for English deals is
now quoted very firm at $14.75 f. 0. b.
vessel at St. John, which is a clear ad-
vance of from $2 to $2.50 per thousand
over the ruling price of one year ago.
Lath are quite steady at $3.20 to $3.25
for one and one-half-inch, and $3.45 for
one and five-eighth-inch, Boston delivery.
Clapboards are scarce and very firm at
previous figures,
During the week ending January 17th
W. H. Gilbert of Duluth, Minn., sold
about 20,000,000 feet of log run lumber,
As an indication of the advance, this stock
brought between $17.50 and $18, com-
pared with $16 for the same quality last
year. The Red Cliff Lumber Company,
Mitchell & McClure and others have also
sold a considerable quantity of lumber
at prices from $1.50 to $1.75 better than
one year ago.
NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES
Eastern cedar shingles are a trifle
though the large operators
and shippers of standard grades are
holding out for a_ basis of $3.50
for extras ; it is admitted on all sides
that this price is being shaded somewhat,
though it is current belief in the market
that shingle values will work back to a
strong basis before the spring orders com-
mence to come in. The logging opera-
tions in the north and east are progress-
ing favorably, with a fair supply of snow
at nearly all points for getting logs over
to the streams. It is conceded that the
input of logs will be limited only by the
number of woodsmen which it is possible
for the operators to secure for their crews.
Up-to-date tbey have been seriously
handicapped by the unusually small num-
ber of capable men available, but now
that the water mills are all closed the
mill employees have gone into the woods,
thus materially improving the situation.

THE ST. JOHN RIVER LOG
PRODUCTION.
The cut of logs onthe St. John river
and its tributaries in New Brunswick this
winter will be less than last season. Last
year [41,000,000 was rafted and came
through the booms, and 10,500,000 was
rafted bolow the booms. Of the cut of
last year the logs were largely American.
This year there will be more province logs
than last. The estimated cut this year is
134,000,000.
The season has been very favorable and
the men have been able to do good work.
The estimate of the cut by the parties on
the different streams is as follows:

A representative meeting of lumbermen
from difterent parts of Nova Scotia was
held in Truro on January 21st. The object
of the meeting was to place before the
railway officials a petition for reduced
freight rates for lumber. Messrs. E. Tiffin,
general manager, and D. A. Storey, dis-
trict freight agent of the I. C. R., were

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The situation in respect to white pine is
becoming an interesting one. This week
advance in the Ottawa
of the common
we chronicle an
quotations for several
grades, with more liberal buying than has
been reported for some time. The hesita-
tion of buyers which was in evidence in
early January has given place to a strong
desire to contract for stock at late quota-
tions, but in some instances manufacturers
are putting out new lists showing a sub-
stantial advance. The recent mild weather
is responsible in part for the higher values.
In certain logging districts the snow has
almost entirely disappeared and efforts to
get logs out of the woods have been
abandoned, temporarily at least. Should
these conditions continue for any length of
time the result will be serious to lumber-
men, most uf whom have many logs yet to
haul to the streams. Much higher prices
for the season’s cut of lumber may be
expected in case there should be a shortage
in the log input.
Many buyers are in the market for mill
cuts. Some have conceded the demands
of the manufacturers and closed con-
tracts at $20 for log run. Others are still
negotiating in the hope of making a better
bargain. The price of log run, however,
has become quite firmly established at $20
for logs averaging ten to the thousand
feet and $22 for an average of eight to the
thousand. The latter’ figure is by no
means the maximum, as we are advised of
the sale of an entire season’s cut of log
run at $30 f.o.b. rail of vessel Georgian
Bay point. The particulars have not been
learned, but it is safe to assume that the
logs are exceptionally large and of excel-
lent quality.
Hardwood lumber continues in good
demand. There is very little bartering
over price, the buyer usually being willing
to accept the manufacturer’s quotation
whenever he finds suitable stock. The
tendency of prices is upwards.

extras have been made for Boston deliv-
ery as low as $3.35, with other grades in
proportion. The current price, however,
might be given as $3.40, at which figure
the large manufacturers are endeavoring
to hold the market. Opinions differ as to
the future course of prices. Some dealers
contend that the bottom has been reached
for the present, while others hold tha

prices will go lower for the next month or
two. The latter argue that the local yards
throughout New England bought heavily
in the fall on the belief that prices were
going to be higher, and that they have now
a large stock of shingles on hand. Fur-
ther, the mills will probably make large
cuts during the spring and summer.
These conditions may bring about lower
Prices, bnt if they do they will be only
temporary, as the demand will pick up
shortly. Prices of New Brunswick shing-
es have doubtless been influenced by the
recent break in Washington red cedars.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,
While the movement of lumber through-
out the West is not heavy, dealers are
figuring on large orders for the coming
season, and the prospects are considered
to be very bright for an active trade. Con-
ditions generally are satisfactory, the only
drawback being the policy of cutting prices
which has been resorted to by representa-
tives of Minnesota manufacturers. The
new price list on white pine will shortly be
put into effect.
If prospective building operations may
be taken as the criterion of the lumber
trade, the mills will be taxed to their ut-
most to supply the demand. Many new
buildings are projected in Winnipeg, and
in the country districts there promises to
be considerable activity. It is announced
that the North-West Elevator Company
will build forty-one grain elevators through-
out Manitoba andthe Territories, at an
approximate cost of $1,700,000. These
alone will call for a large quantity of lum-
ber. In British Columbia lumber and
shingles are in good demand. A large
quantity of lumber is being consumed in
the construction of new canneries. Prices
are steady.
UNITED STATES.
The only important news affecting white
pine comes from Minneapolis, where there
is a strong disposition to advance the
price of dimension The situation in re-
spect to that grade is especially strong,
particularly in view of the advance made
by the southern manufacturers, and at the
Association meeting to be held on Febuary
17th, an effort will be made to advance the
price at least 50 cents per thousand. All
grades of white pine are firm and there is
no doubt that the available dry stock will
be required before the new cut is ready
for the market. Buftalo and Tonawanda
dealers are purchasing quite heavily in the
vicinity of Duluth, prices being about as
recently quoted. In the Buffalo market
there is an increased shortage of cuts and
better. The supply of 12 inch box is prac-
tically exhausted, having been used largely
in place of No. 3 barn, which is selling at
$23. There is every prospect of an active
spring demand for white pine, with pro-
bably higher prices as the supply of dry
stock becomes depleted.
Another week has brought increased
strength to hardwoods of all kinds. At
the annual meeting of the National Hard-
wood Manufacturers’ Association, held in
Cleveland last week, the prices of oak, ash,
elm, poplar and other hardwoods were
advanced quite sharply, but it seemed to
be the opinion of those present that the
advances were fully warranted by the
conditions. With dry lumber it is not a
question of price so much as where the
stock can be found. Birch is a good sel-
ler and in light supply, while basswood
has been out of the market for some time.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The timber market of Great Britain has
been strengthened by the recent attitude
of Scotch buyers, who are showing a de-
sire to purchase quite heavily at current
quotations. Asa result prices of white-
wood have been advanced at least five
shillings per standard. In the London
market there continues to be a deadlock
between shippers and importers, and up to
the present time a very small percentage
of the North of Europe production has been
placed. Representatives of Canadian
shippers have been more successful, al-
though some importers refuse to pay £10
for second quality spruce c.i.f., and £9
58 for third quality 3x9, which prices are
being asked. They are endeavoring to
force shippers to reduce these figures by
at least five shillings per standard. There
is, however, a just appreciation of the
strong statistical position of Canadian pine
and spruce, as in the last issue of the Tim-
ber Trades Journal we find the folliowng :
“The position in Canadian woods and the
sales made, perhaps, may throw some light
on the position as regards other ports.
Red pine, has been sold at £12 ros. c.i.f.,
and the advance in white pine is even
greater. First quality ends and 7 to 10 in.
have been sold at £22 f.0.b.; and the same
percentage of advance applies to all other
qualities and sizes with, possibly, the ex-
ception of second quality, of which sales
have been made c.i.f. at £19 10s. for 11
inch, 12 to 16 ft., and £14 10s. for 7 to 10 in.,
10 to 16 feet. Third regulars have been
sold at £13 c.i.f. As the stock in Great
Britain of red and white pine is probably
at least 5,000 Petersburg standards short
of what it was this time last year, and the
stock in Canada is reported to be even
lighter than the small stock wintering last
season, the position would appear to be
very strong.” Birch Timber is strong, the
average price at a recent auction sale
being 20d for 14% inch.

Under date of January 7th, Messrs.
S. P. Musson, Son & Company say of the
Barbadoes market: ‘‘There have been
no arrivals since our last. The market is
only lightly stocked with both white pine
and spruce, and receipts of either will
command full rates. We understand that
our neighbors have tried to place another
cargo of spruce on C. & F. basis, but we
do not think they have done so up to the
present time. There have been no receipts
of shingles, but all that were imported for
the Imperial Government contracts have
been sold to one of the dealers.” Current
prices are as follows: White pine, $25.75
per M for first quality and $21.25 for
second quality; spruce, $22.50 for first and
$19.50 for second quality; Long Gaspe

(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.
The even tenor of the Ottawa lumber
market has been broken, and the advance
which was predicted in these columns
before the New Year has made its appear-
ance. This advance is unlike others of
the past year, as it is confined to the ple-
bian culls and other lower grade lines.
Moreover, the advance is not confirmed to
standing stock, it applies as wel! to next
summer's cul, over which there is brisk
bargaining, at least that part of i) that has
not already found a customer
it has left the tree. There's a lesson
in this latest advance, and it would be
well for all interested to take note. It
furnishes proof, if further be necessary,
that no break may be looked for in the
lumber market before next autumn at the
earliest. Jobbers are searching in all
directions for future cut, and long before
the saws commence their song the big end
of the cut will be off the market.
A glance over to-day’s quotations in
THE LUMBERMAN tells the tale in figures
more forcibly than words could do it.
Pine good shorts, 14% in, and 1% inch,
have advanced to $28 to $30, the old
figures being $24 to $28. Same stock 2
inch has advanced to $30 and $35 from
$27 and $32. No. 1 dressing sidings pine,
former quotations on which ran from $20
to $24 per M, are now placed at $24 to $28.
No. 1 dressing strips pine are selling from
$18 to $24, former figures being $16 to $20.
No. 1 dressing shorts pine have advanced
from $14 to $16 to $16 to $20. Shingles
also show an advance, clear butt 18 inch
pine selling from $2.25 to $2.40 and KXXX
pine from $3.00 to $3.25 per M.
Railway officials and jobbers report an

welcome is the freer offering of rolling
stock. The Canada Atlantic Railway is
not as heavily taxed by the grain traffic as
it was during and immediately following
the season of navigation, and it according-
ly has more cars for the movement of
lumber. The prospects for a brisk move-
ment for many weeks (o come are bright.

ing operations in many
has given an impetus to the Canadian
market, and in a measure induced an ad-
vance in prices.
All eyes are turned towards the limits,
and reports therefrom confirm the state-
ment that this will be a “big year.”
Thanks to the "precautions taken by the
Provincial Government and lumber Oper-
ators, there has been no outbreak of
stnallpox which Jast year closed several
camps and crippled others. While there
is a scarcity of teams, this handicap in
transportation facilities is offset by the
frost and snow, which have made good
roads.
While operations in the Temiscaming
district are not as brisk as they were in
recent years, there is a boom on in the
neighboring Kippewa territory. Camps
have been established in the latter by J. B .
Grier, Montreal, Robert Anderson, Rideau
Lumber Company, Edward Moore, Shep-
ard & Moore and Hull Lumber Company,
of Oitawa, and Alex. Lumsden and Mc-
Lachlin Bros., of Aroprior. The output
of square timber and logs promises to be
as large as was predicted.
The Upper Ottawa Improvement Com-
pany is making active preparations for the
assumption of the towing operations on
the lakes and rivers of the upper country,
but the season will be well advanced be-
fore the company wiil be in a position to
assume contro’. Two steel side-wheel
boats and a steel tug built in Toronto are
now on their way to Temiscamingue,
where they will be placed in shape for

BUSINESS NOTES.
Banbury, Gourlay & Banbury, lumber,
Wolseley, N. W. T., have been succeeded
by Banbury Bros.
A. Boughner, manufacturer of hoops
and staves, Aylmer, Ont., has sold out to
H. Balcomb & Son.
H. W. Hilliard, lumber dealer, Minne-
dosa, Man., is opening a branch at Clan

The schooner ‘' Joseph Hay” has been
chartered to carry lumber from Wey-
mouth,) N. S., to Havana, at $5.75.
CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The lumber market, from the standpoint
of the manufacturer, is all that could be
desired,
good. Confidence is expressed universally
that the coming season will witness a large
consumption of lumber, perhaps sufficient
to sustain the present strength of the
Prices are high and the demand
market. The range of prices both for dry
stock and the new cut is slightly wider
than usual. For No. 1 cuts of last
year's stock as high as $52 at the mill is
being asked, while purchases have been
made recently as low as $46. This dis-
crepancy is accounted for in part by
the different grading of mills. For 4, 5
and 6 inch mill run $20 is being asked,
and for 8 inch $21. The price of 12 inch
is nominal, as there is practically no stock
that has not passed out of first hands.
The large number of entire mill cuts
that have already been placed under con-
tract is surely an indication of the great
strength of the market. Dealers are
evidently anxious to make arrangements
for their season’s supply in order that
they may be in a position to meet the
The prices
paid this winter for log run are, we believe,
unprecedented in the history of the lumber
trade. Interviews with a number of the
leading manufacturers indicate that the
wants of their customers.
range of prices for log run is from $19 to
$25, with few sales above $22. It is
learned that one operator is asking $19
for his logs delivered at the river bank.
Within the past month there has been an
advance of $1 in the price of hemlock
lumber, for which wholesale dealers are
now paying $14 f.o.b. cars Toronto. Four
stocks on the Northern Division of the
Grand Trunk Railway aggregating over
3,000,000 feet recently changed hands at
$11.50, which is the average price at the
mills.
It is difficult to review the hardwood
market. There has developed such a
scarcity of certain dry stock that prices
are largely in the hands of manufacturers.
Such advances as have taken place, how-
éver, have been of a conservative nature.
The outlook for the new cut is promising.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Manufacturers in the Eastern Provinces
are looking forward to a good season.
Many of them have already sold a con-
siderable portion of their estimated cut,
and the price received has in most instances
been above the average price of last year.
The shingles market remains practically
unchanged, although the price of $3.40 for
extras is being paid more willingly by
buyers.

UNITED STATES.
Another week of very satisfactory con-
dition in the lumber trade has gone by.
Any disappointment in regard to aclivity is
offset by firm prices and sanguine expecta-
tions of a heavy spring demand. Prices
at wholesale points are not yet in line with
the prices at the mills, but are being
steadily brought to that point. Our Al-
bany list this week shows an advance of
two dollars in 3-inch uppers and of one
dollar in inch common, barn and box stock.
Buffalo dealers are about to advance prices
on new stock. Reports from that centre
tell of a scarcity of box and Norway pine.
Dealers have bought quite heavily in the
Lake Superior district, especially of box
and other low grades, as they believe that
there will be an unusally good season and
probably higher relative prices in these
grades. The retail dealers of Cleveland
have adopted a new list, it having been
discovered that the quantity of inch No. 3
common boards in 6, 8, 10 and 12 inch was
much less than was thought to have been in
stock before the inventory was taken on
January 1, In Chicago sentiment regard-
ing the coming season remains good, the
prospects for building operations being
of the best. Retail dealers are buying
freely at present prices, which they fear
will be advanced in the near future.

prices are gradually hardening.
Michigan mills are asking $22 forlog run
basswood. Oak and birch will also be
higher than last year. Mill prices for the
three grades of maple'are $20, $14 and $8.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The British market is exhibiting a little
more life. Shippers and importers are
getting closer together in their ideas as
to prices, and some contracts have been
closed. The movement of stock on hand
is about as large as usual at this season
of the year. There has been an improve-
ment in the oak trade. For logs the ask-
ing price is about 1s. 6d. per cubic foot.
First quality quartered oak boards, 1x6
inch, bring 34d. to 33d. per cubic foot,
and 1x4 inch from 24d. to 2%d. A large
business has been done in plain oak, at
prices ranging from 1s. 11d. to 2s. per
cubic foot. Consignments of inch boards
would probably find a’ready market.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
In Totonto XXX British Columbia red
cedar shingles are selling at $3.25 retail.
The city of Quebec is asking for tenders
up to 18th inst. for the annual supply of
deals and other lumber.
The Cleveland-Sarnia Saw Mill Com-
pany, of Sarnia, Ont., are taking~ out
20,000,000 feet of logs on the Spanish
river.
It is rumored that the Cook & Bros.’
Lumber Company, of Spragge, Onti,
have sold the entire output of pine mill
culls for the coming season. Ths price
is given as $10.
It is reported that N. N, Wright &
Company, of Cutler, Ont., have sold all
the white pine lumber they will manufac-
ture this season, which will probably be
“about 45,000,000 feet.
The South River Lumber Company are
making extensive improvements to their
mill at South River, Ont. Last season
they cut 6,000,000 feet of lumber, and dur-
ing the coming season expect to cut about
25,000,000 feet.
The Turner Lumber Company, of Mid-
land, Ont., are reported to have sold all
the lumber they will manufacture at Mid-
land this season at an advance of $3 over
last year’s price. They have on the skids
and hauled 10,000,000 feet of white pine
logs of excellént quality.
At the Crown Lands office, Fredericton,
N. B., a two-mile timber berth on Turtle
Creek was sold Jast week to Mr. Dryden
at the upset price of $8 per mile, and a two
mile berth on Teague Brook, Gloucester
County, to J. H. Barty at $364 per mile.
The latter price is the highest ever paid to
the New Brunswick Government.
Elm staves and basswood heading are
strong and higher in price, while coiled
hoops are lower. At Buffalo jobbers
quote No. 1 elm flour barrel staves at
$9.25 to $9.50 ; No. 2, $8 to $5.25; No. 1
basswood heading, 534 to 6 cents ; No. 2
3% 0 4 cents ; coiled hoops, $10.25 to
$10.50 tor 6 foot, and $10 to $10.25 for
5h.
As pine values have been hardening
throughout the winter, hemlock has also
strengthened) considerably, although not in
proportion. There is a fairly good supply
of hemlock in the Chicago yards, and
while demand has been excellent through
the winter, there is still a good assoitment
left for spring trade. The prospects are
that there will be a large cut of hemlock
logs in the northern forests this winter and
a correspondingly good supply of lumber
at the mills next summer, bnt in view of
the great scarcity of pine it will probably
all be needed to replace that wood. Hem-
lock manufacturers are therefore counting
upon an excellent demand the coming sea-
son. Of late prices have been rather ir-
regular, but a meeting of manufacturers is
to be held at Milwaukee on Tuesday of
next week and doubtless more uniform
quotations will be attained when the manu-
facturers get together and find out what
their brethren are doing.—American Lum-
berman.
LUMBER EXPORTS.
The United States government has
compiled a statement showing the im-
ports of lumber from British North
America for the calendar year of 1902, the
greater portion of which was received
from Canada. The leading items are as
follows :
Feet, Value.
Logs and round
Limberseewccar 80,901,000 $ 693,053
Boards, planks and
other sawed
lumber. ciation 734,665,000 10,6655,137
Shingles, pieces.. 763,673,000 1,532,292
The quantity of lurmber exported from
Canada last year was greater than any
previous years excepting 1896 and 1897,
when the exports were 786,001,000 feet and
883,770,000 feet respectively. The value of
exported lumber, however, was the
highest in the history of the trade, this °
being due to the increased value of white
pine lumber.
STATISTIC OF PINE STOCKS.
The Bureau of Grades of the Mississippi
Valley Lumbermen's Association and the
Wisconsin Valley Lumbermen’s Associa-
tion have compiled a stock sheet of the
pine lumber held by manufacturers and
wholesalers in the St. Croix, Mississippi,
and Chippewa Valleys, Northern Min-
nesota and tributary districts on the first
day of January of this year. The total
stock aggregates 1,147,946,863 feet, as
against 1,156,113,755 feet for the year
before, and 1,404,187,209 feet on January
1, 1901. It will be seen that the stock of
lumber on hand varies but little from the
previous year, This remark also applies
to shingles, but there is a considerable
increase in the quantity of lath. Notwith-
standing the larger consumption of lath in
building during the past year the produc-
tion seems to have been greatly accelerated
and stock on hand at the beginning of the
year is nearly twice as large as it was a
year ago and about a sixth larger than on
January 1, 1901.
Some of the most interesting details are
given below, the quantity of lumber being
in feet b.m.:

LUMBER IN MANITOBA.

lumber sold in Manitoba during the 12
months ending June 30, 1902. From care-

principally in Manitoba, during the year,

An effort is being made to induce the
lumber denlers in Manitoba and the Terri-
tories to purchase their spring supplies of
lumber at once, so that the lumber can be

Railway officials have taken the initiative
in this matter. They say that there will

CANADA LUMBERMAN
oo
way company, according to the Winnipeg
Commercial, is anxious to handle this lum-
ber now, as later on, when the immigra-
tion rush starts, and especially toward the
opening of navigation, there will be a
heavy movement of traffic, and cars will
then be very scarce. Lumber dealers
have not been in the habit of placing their
orders until April or May. Railway offi-
cials have been in negotiation with officers
of the Wesjern Retail Lumbermea's Asso-
ciation over this matter, and Mr. Isaac
Cockburn, secretary of the Association,
has madea trip through the ceuntry and
personally interviewed many of the dealers.
The retail dealers throughout the country,
of course, object to ordering their supplies
long before they require the stock for the
accommodation of the railway, as this
would mean that they would have to pay
out the cash at once for the freight, and
would also have to pay for the lumber one
or two months earlier than usual. Nego-
tiations are now in progress to try and
arrange a basis by which the lumber can
be ordered now without necessitating the
payment of freight, ete., earlier than usual.
The retailers are willing to place their
orders now, providing they shall not be
called upon to pay the freight before April
1, and the invoice for the lumber not to be
dated earlier than Apri! 1, the usual time
to be given from that date. This would
simply be following the custom of the
mercantile trade in several lines, in which
orders are shipped in advance, and the in-
voices dated some time later. Negotia-
tions are being carried on mainly with
British Columbia manufacturers.
A lot of lumber and shingles are brought
into Manitoba and the Territories from
Pacific coast and interior British Columbia
mills. The haul is a long one, and the
railway company does not want to sen
the cars away to British Columbia in the
spring for lumber when they will be needed
so badly in Manitoba, if the lumber can be
carried now. Besides this, there are a num-
ber of cars at the coast which have gone
out with grain and flour to Vancouver, and
these could be employed to haul the
lumber eastward. British Columbia lumber
invoices are usually dated three months
from date of purchase. If the manufac-
turers will agree to date April 1, three
months, and the railway company will
a.
‘agree to wait two months for the freight,
dealers will place their orders at once.
There is almost a certainty that there
will be an unusually large spring demand
for lumber, which, under ordinary weather
conditions, will set in earlier than usual.
The Commercial was only the other day
shown a letter from a land corporation in
the United States which will send a lot of
settlers into this country, inquiring as to
the supply of lumber in the district where
the settlers will be located. Lumber
dealers throughout the country should be
prepared for this demand.

The situation in respect to hardwoods is _ resulted in prices that were altogether too
very clearly set forth by the Mississippi low. But conditions have changed ma-

from the market. A heavy demand for
green lumber has set in and the prospects

The dry stock of hardwood
Never have things looked so bright in
the hardwood market as at the present
time. The prospects are such as to arouse
every dealer's enthusiasm. High prices
are now asked for various kinds of hard-
wood. Everything indicates that prevail- ter.
ing conditions will continue all through
the year and that prices may be even
higher next winter than this if the con-
sumption of hardwood lumber keeps up
the way it has during the winter. Last
year and the few preceding years condi-
tions were just the reverse. There was
too much lumber on the market, and this,
present gait, not only dry but green
lumber will be very scarce next win-
The call for hardwood lumber,
considering the time of the year, is fairly
good from the retail lumbermen and the
factories, and everything points to an
excellent business. Another new élement
in the hardwood market is the wholesaler
himself appearing in the role of buyer.
He foresees that the high prices now pre-
valent will continue throughout the year

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
As each week goes by the lumber mar-
ket gathers additional strength. In com-
piling the report of stocks of pine lumber
on hand, the secretary of the Ontario
Lumbermen’s Association finds that the
coarser grades have been disposed of
more largely than was genarally antici-
pated. The market will thus be iu good
shape to receive the new cut, and no
decline in prices in anticipated during the
next six months at least. There has re-
cently been some heavy buying of lumber
by American companies in the Vicinity of
Sudbury. Log run pine is held at exceed-
ingly high prices. It is learned that the
cut of a particular mill which recently
changed hands at $30 was secured by a
firm of Quebec exporters. Another lot of
logs on the Georgian Bay running five to
the thousand is being held at $35, this
probably being the maximum figure that
has yet been asked. For 1 to 2 inch
uppers $72 is being asked by some manv-
facturers. Box lumber ranges from $13
to $16, the latter for 12-inch and wider.
Dry mill culls are held around $12.
Owing to expensive logging, the
production of hardwood logs ‘this winter
has been light, and it is probable that
prices will gradually work higher. For
elm, basswood, and ash logs $16 is being
offered for delivery at themill. Birch logs
are worth about $15, and maple $14.
UNITED STATES,
Lumber conditions in the United States
are steadily improving. The consumption,
owing to severe weather, is not large, but
the buying for future delivery has been
heavy and indicative of a disposition on
the part of dealers and consumers to °
arrange for the season’s requirements as
early as possible. Higher prices are pre-
dicted for box lumber. Buffalo is scarce
of that grade, and at Ashland, Wisconsin,
there is a tendency to advance prices
beyond the current figure, which is the
highest for some years. No. 4 boards
are selling there at from $10.50 to $11.25
per thousand for next season’s cut, and
No. 5 boards at $6 to $6.50. Yard dealers
in the Saginaw Valley predict that before
April 1st prices will have advanced from
59 cents to one dollar per thousand. The
lower grades have recently shown more
strength than the upper grades, probably
due tothe fact that the advance in the
price of the former has been less relatively
than on the better qualities. An advance
in dimension is in prospect. Norway lum-
ber is growing in favor and has
reached a price where competition from
The
latter is about $2 cheaper, and the ques-
now
southern pine is felt quite keenly.
tion has arisen whether it will be possible
to maintain the present price of Norway.
With about 15 per cent. of 12 inch the
average quotation is in the neighborhood
of $14.50 There is a further improvement
in hemlock, which is meeting with a large
demand in the east. The North-western
Hemlock Manufacturers’ Association, at
its annual meeting in Milwaukee last
week, advanced the price of 2X4, 2x6, 2x8,
and 2x1o in 16-foot lengths 50 cents per
thousand. According to the new list the
range on No. 1 piece stuff is from $10 for
2x4 in 8-foot lengths to $16.50 for 2x12 in
12, 14 and 16-foot lengths. Hemlock lath
was reduced from $3 to $2.75.
Hardwoods are in excellent demand.
For quartered oak $73 to $75 is easily ob-
tainable in New York and $72 in Buffalo.
Maple is slightly higher, especially thick
cuts, of which the supply is very light.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The British timber market is excep-
tionally quiet for this season of the year.
The tone is firm, although importers are
strongly opposing the advance in prices
that has been made by shippers. It is
understood that sales of Canadian pine
have been made at an advance of from 10
to 15 per cent. over last year’s prices.
The wintering stock is small, and dealers
recognize that it may be absolutely neces-
sary to meet the demands of the shipper
in order to secure the stock. As an
instance of the strength of pine, $22 per
standard was recently realized at an
auction sale for a small lot of 7-inch first
quality. For Quebec spruce shippers are
asking £10 for secondsand £9 5s. for
thirds c.i.f. London and Liverpvol. This
represents an advance of more than 10
shillings as compared with last. year's
figures, as a result of which less than
the usual quantity of spruce has been
disposed of. The conditions, however,
favor the sellers, and it is believed that
they will be successful in placing their
stock at the higher values fixed upon.
During the past two months the stock on
hand has been considerably reduced. The
feature of the square timber trade is the
scarcity of first class waney pine, of which
there is practically none in first hands.
Birch and elm are in good demand.
STOCKS AND PRICES.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN).
‘‘Not in the history of the local lumber
trade has stock been bought up so close
as it is for the mill cut of 1902,"’ remarked
a dealer to-day. ‘‘Everything in the
better grades is off the market with the
exception of a few odds and ends. While
the stock is out of the hands of the manu-
facturers a portion is still offered for sale
by dealers, but a small portion only.
It is safe to say, moreover, that between
one-third and one-half the mill cut of 1903
has already changed hands.”’
The above sums up the lumber situation
in Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley as far as
the yard end otf the business is concerned.
Good sidings, strips and shorts and ship-
ping cull strips and shorts are out of the
manufacturer's hands. The same applies
to shingles, and lath are scarce. Present
negotiations between manufacturer and
dealer are on next summer’s cut, and the
Ottawa quotations on the market page
represent the former's estimate of the
worth of Fis future output. Movement
of lumber is only fair this month.
Will the present season's cut of logs all
be cleared before the break-up of winter ?
This is the question that is agitating the
lumber mind. Amongst Ottawa operators
it is the impression that the first week in
March will see a cessation of teaming
operations that will compel the mill men
and others, reluctant though they may be,
to leave part of their log cut on the limits
over another year. There is plenty of
snow, but the ground beneath is free of
frost, and the first spring rains will play
havoc with the roads. Reports show that
early snow-falls prevented the ice on the
lakes and rivers attaining the usual thick-
ness, and an earlier break-up than usual
may be expected on water. Moreover,
teaming has been retarded, as the log

loads on account of the uncertainity of the
ice have had to be reduced, The different
firms report the loss of teams almost
weekly on this account: The writer while
in Pembroke this week made enquiries
and learned that the logs cut along the
Petawawa will probably all be taken opt
before the ‘‘ break-up.”
An old and experienced lumberman who
returned from the Kippewa district to-day
said that the predictions of an early spring
would fall flat. ‘*I never saw two early
springs in succession yet,” he remarked,
“and I would not be surprised if winter
holds on till April. While the ice is not
very thick, there is plenty of snow and
teaming will be carried on for many weeks
yet.”
Ottawa lumber operators who are get-
ting out square and waney timber now
regret that the 10 per cent. selling advance
made in the early part of the season was
rot increased to twenty per cent. Unfore-
seen difficulties have increased the cost of
production fully thirty per cent. over
former seasons, and a second advance
may be looked for on future sales.
Trouble has been caused by the in-
experienced class of labor placed in
the camps by the Ottawa employment
agencies, and desertions are of daily
occurrences. It is said that some camps
resemble rural public schools frem the
fact that youths are strong in number,
particularly in the road-making squads.
While more square timber is being taken
out this season than last, the quantity
forwarded to Quebec by water will be
considerably less. All the square timber
being manufactured in the Kippewa dis-
trict will be forwarded by rail, a branch
of the Canadian Pacific making such a
means of transportation convenient.
From a reliable source it is learned that
the production qt pulpwood along the
Ottawa and its tributaries will be one-third
greater than it was last year. Early
sleighing made the movement easy and
the stock will probably all reach the rivers
and railways before the snow goes, A large
quantity of pulp wood is being taken out
this season on the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way branch between Sudbury and Sault
Ste Marie. Considerable poplar is being
secured on the line around Warren Station,
where settlers are busily engaged clearing
land.
The latest quotations on spruce and pop-
lar pulp wood are $2.75 per cord, delivery
being made at the railway.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,
Viewed from any standpoint, the lumber
exhibits strength.
Buyers who deferred placing orders in the
hope that prices might weaken have now
entered the market, only to find that a
large portion of the production of both
pine and hardwood lumber has been con-
market exceptional
tracted for. Manufacturers are experienc-
ing no difficulty in obtaining the advance
over last year’s prices which has been
fixed upon as the result of the higher
cost of production. The buying of the new
cut has not been confined to the upper
grades, but has included the full range
down to mill culls. On the north shore of
the Georgian Bay an average grade of
mill culls, with dead culls out, readily brings
$10, while on the south shore similar stock
is held at from $11 t» $12,
district the price is $12, with an extra
dollar for 10 and 12 inch, Norway lumber
is a litile stronger, and as the production
this season is not likely to be large, a

prices are reported for basswood, but
other classes remain unchanged.
——
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,
Spruce lumber is firm but quiet. Manu-
facturers have sold less than the usual
quantity of deals for shipment to Great
Britain, as European buyers have not
responded to the increased price which it
has been necessary to ask on account of
the greater cost of production. The asking
prices are £10 to £10 tos. c.i.f. for 11X3,
and £9 for 9x3. Contracts are being
closed almost daily for shipment to the
United States and South America. <A
South American specification of 12 inch
Spruce, 12 to 16 feet in length, recently
brought $20 for firsts and $18 for seconds.
Owing to the great depth of snow in the
woods in New Brunswick slow progress is
being made with logging operations, and
it is estimated that the cut on the Upper
St. John will be twenty per cent. less than
was anticipated at the beginning of the
In some districts there is over

season.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,
The lumber trade of Western Canada
are anticipating the season’s requirements
by purchasing heavily in advance. It is
believed that the demand will tax the
capacily of the mills to meet it. Several
dealers in the North-West have recently
visited the Coast and arranged for early
shipments. Prices are firm and likely to
be further advanced in the near future.
The recent wholesale pine list shows an
advance ranging from filty cents to five
dollars per thousand.
UNITED STATES,
& There is no exception to the pronounced
strength which characterizes the lumber
market of the United States. The move
ment of lumber has been restricted in some
districts by a scarcity of cars, but the
buying has been none the less urgent.
Dealers recognize that there is no proba-
bility of a break in prices at least before
the spring demand is supplied, and by
many it, is predicted that there will not
develop the usual midsummer weakness.
Substitutes for the upper grades of white
pine are being purchased to some extent,
but the trade is not seriously concerned as
to any inroads upon pine that may result
from this source. A large percentage of
the cnt of the coming season has already
passed out of first hands. In Chicago
prices are strong and the stocks of dealers
Somewhat broken. Piece stuff is held at
$17.50 f.0.b. Chicago. Buffalo dealers
have a light supply of 2 inch No. 1 cuts,
for which a price of $60 is predicted.
There is no accumulation at any point,
the demand being sufficient to absorb
offerings. Hardwood lumber shows im-
provement as each day passes. The
dealers and large consumers are placing
contracts treely with the mills, and while
the outlook is for a large production, it is
quite probable that the demand will keep
pace with it. The stocks of dealers are
so low that a large quantity of lumber will
be required to restore them to their normal
volume. In Chicago $35 is paid for inch
firsts and second white ash. Thick maple
is especially strong,

said on the state of the market.”
The annual review of white pine market -
conditions, compiled by the Mississippi
Valley Lumbermen’s Association, contains
the following: There has been a decrease
in the percentage of piece stuff during the
year, due to the higher list on inch lumber.
At the beginning of the year 1go1 the per-
centage of dimension in the total. stock on
hand was 31.6 percent. At the beginning
of 1902 this was reduced to 28.6 per cent
and at the beginning of this year the stock
sheets show a percentage cf 27.2 per cent.

has been an increase in the amount of No.
3 shop lumber on hand, and it has been
suggestea that the specifications of this
grade be madea trifle more restrictive.
There has been some further increase in
the cost of manufacture. Operations in
the woods this wiuter will be considerably
more expensive than ever before. Features
of supply and demand may make some
readjustment of prices necessary during
the year. Weare independent with our
upper grades, but should recognize the
growing competition with yellow pine,
hemlock and western lumber. There is
an increasing percentage of low grade
stock in each season's cut of northern
pine, but the shortage of upper grades
increases the call for the lower, and the
condition corrects itself.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The lumber business of the past week
has shown evidence of buying for the
spring trade. Retail dealers have placed
orders with the object of building up their
stocks to a point which they consider will
meet the heavy demand which is con-
fidently looked for. In Toronto business
was more active during February than in
the corresponding month last year, all
grades of pine and hardwoods being called

are looked for, as the building requirement
will be large and the new cut of lumber
will not be ready before June. By some
an early advance in the price of shingles is
predicted.
The weather of late has been favorable
for logging operations, and a large in-put
of logs is the result. There is no fear,
however, as to a surplus of lumber, as
American firms have recently bought very
heavily.

New Brunswick cedar shingles are still
somewhat unsettled, although investiga-
tions go to show that prices are likely to
be higher in the near future. Sales are
being made around $3.40 for extras on
Boston rate of freight.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,
Indications point to a very active de-
mand for lumber this year throughout
Western Canada. The building season is
opening early, and Winnipeg architects
have plans under way for a large number
of buildings both in the city and at pro-
vincial points. It is already questioned
whether the supply of lumber will meet the
demand, and for this reason higher prices
seem probable. In British Columbia the
removal of the United States duty on
shingles is being discussed, but in our
opinion such an action is not likely to be
taken. The saw and shingle mills of the
Coast are busy, with large orders booked
in advance.
UNITED STATES.
The past week has witnessed more
activity in the buying of lumber than has
any previous week this year. Dealers
have apparently become convinced that
there is a shortage in the supply of lumber
and that prices are not likely to recede.
In the Duluth district there is a scarcity of
many sizes of piece stuff, for which manu-
facturers are now asking $15 at the mill,
whereas one year ago the price was
$13.50. In Chicago there isa scarcity of
6-inch strips and 12-inch No. 1 boards,
while the buying for box concerns has
reduced the supply of No. 4 and 5 boards
to a low point. Hemlock has recently
come into much prominence by showing
more strength in comparison than any
other class of lumber. Cargo lots delivered
at Chicago bring $12.50, the average price
on the mill dock being about $11. Hard-
woods continue to improve, the buying ot
the lower grades being a feature of late
transactions. Maple is stronger and has
advanced about one dollar. Manufac-
turers’ quotations are $20, $12 and $8 for
. firsts and seconds, common aud cull re-
spectively f.o.b. shipping point. The
approach of spring has brought about
more activity in shingles, with prospects
of slightly higher prices.
GREAT BRITAIN.
Considering the nearness of the import-
ing season, it must be said that much in-
difference is shown on the part of British
importers in respect. to placing contracts
for their supply of lumber. The opinion is
gaining ground, however, that the import
of the coming season will be very moder-
ate, and consequently more activity in
closing negotiations may be expected in
the near future. The position of Canadian
pine and spruce is extremely firm. The
Timber News reports a transaction at £34
per standard c.i.f. Glasgow for first quality
broad pine deals, and £31 is asked for
11x3. For third quality pine £13 per
standard for the usual specifications is
being asked by shippers. Pine boards in
shipping cull qualities have been disposed
of at £11 to £11 10s. Red pine deals are
in good demand, especially four? inch
thick, at about 10 shillings advance on the
best figures of last year.
Shippers are asking £9 5s for 3x9
spruce and £8 1os for fourths, while for 7
and 8 inch of unsorted quality the asking
ee
quotation is £8. There appears to be a
fair stock of fourth quality and cull spruce,
and any advance that may take place this
season will probably be confined to the
higher grades. At a recent auction sale
3x9 third quality spruce brought £9 15s
and fourth quality £9. These prices, it
will be observed, are only 10 shillings
higher than the quotations of shippers,and
do not leave a reasonable margin of profit
forthe importer. First quality red pine at
the same sale brought £15 15s for 1x9 to
14 inches, which is considered compara-
tively cheap.
The appreciation in square and waney
timber continues. Prices have now
reached 3s 6d to 3s 7d for first class 18
inch and 3s for second class 18 inch waney
pine c.i.f. Liverpool. Oak is held at 3s 4d
to 3s 5d and rock elm at js 1d to 3s 2d
c.if, These prices are probably the high-
est ever known.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY,
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN).
Reports received from the lumber limits
this week give every assurance of a late
spring. Should this be a reality, log and
timber hauling will not be interfered with.
From the Kippewa Country, which is the
banner scene of operations this year,
comes reports of fear of fur-her snow falls
even at this advanced stage of winter.
While there has been an abundance of
the “‘fleecy” it has been light, and hence
has not impeded operations. More snow,
however, will certainly have this effect.
It looks as if the British bound square
and waney timber will “reach its destin-
ation’’ much sooner this year than last.
It is nearly all being taken out in the
Kippewa district, and arrangement have

been made whereby it will be handled
over the branch line of the C. P. Railway
from Gordon Creek. At
on the Ottawa river midway between
Ottawa and Montreal, the bulk of the
timber will be placed in the river and
rafted for movement to Quebec City. By
Papineauville,
this rail and river arrangement the tedious
all river trip from the limits to the seaport
will be cut down considerably both as
regards time and distance. The timber
should reach the British market weeks if
not months before the time of arrival of
former years. This will be very desirable
to both buyer and seller. The sooner the
timber reaches Quebec the sooner the
manufacturer gets his money. By the
adoption of the rail route the timber will
be saved the battering which was experi-
enced in previous seasons in the all river
route, a battering which meant a deterior-
ation in value. Mr. Wm. Wade of Gren-
ville, Que., a man of many years experi-
ence, will have charge of the rafting of
the timber from Papineauville to Que-
bec.
Every stick of square and waney timber
manufactured in the season of 1902-1903
has been sold at an advance ranging from
ten per cent. in September to twenty per
cent. later on.
Talk about advances in the value of
lumber. A lot of good white pine logs
were sold in Ottawa this week and the
price was a dollar more per M., log
measure, than the lumber in the logs
would have brought three years ago after
being sawn, seasoned and selected. How-
ever, when it comes co a matter of
advances lath heads the list. In the last
four years it has more than doubled in
value, showing an increase of over 100 per
cent. Four years ago No. 1 white pine
lath begged buyers at 95 cents and $1.00
per M, whereas present quotations for the
same stock—where it can be had, are $2.50
to $2.75 and even higher.
While the estimate on the portion of the
mill cut of 1903 already out of first hands
is placed at so per cent. it must be re-
membered that this applies to quantity
only. When it comes down to a question
of value fully seventy-five per cent. repre-
sents the part sold. , This is accounted for
by the fact that the demand for the high
grade timber is, and has been, much better
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
than for the medium and low grades, and
bence has sold easier.
The 1903 output of the Ottawa district
mills will, providing the movement of logs
during the summer continues free, reach
fully 36,000,000 feet, an increase of ten
million on the figures for 1902. Every
available log will be cut, for the high price
of sawn lumber is a great incentive to mill
activity.
The movement of lumber from Ottawa
district yards to American points is quite
active at present, but car scarcity is com-
plained of. A local man who made a
state trip through New York last week
reports many inquiries for Canadian lumber.
If the railway companies were in a posi-
tion to move the lumber freely the activity
would be even more pronounced than
it is.
A local lumberman who returned this
week from the Sault Ste Marie district
states that the lumber activity thereabouts
is unprecedented. Hardwood limits which
went a begging a few years ago at $3 to
$5 an acre are now selling at figures rang-

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
ing from $25 to $50 peracre. The in-
crease in popularity of hardwoods for fur-
niture, flooring and office fittings has given
an impetus to the demand which in some
sections is hard to fill.
The Ottawa lumber firms are already
arranging for the movement of supplies
for next year's camps. In previous years
this was left to a large measure in the
hands of the jobbers, buc this year more
than one firm, through with logmaking,
has placed parties of men at work moving
in supplies to the “stopover” stations, the
idea being to take advantage of the river
roads and sleighing.
Despite the fact that record wages were
paid this year or rather asa natural re-
sult of this, the firms have had continuous
trouble with their new men, who are either
changing or throwing up jobs almost daily
even at this late stage. The great draw-
back to work on the limits this season in
fact, was the scarcity of high class Jabor,
a problem that money failed to solve.
The Shepard & Morse Company have
made extensive improvements to the
Mason mill in the west end of the city. It
is now one of the most up-to-date mills in
the district. New edgers and setters have
been installed, and one of the band saws
has been changed to a double cutter. This
mill will have a large output this year.
Work is progressing satisfactorily on
Fraser & Company's new mill at Des-
chenes near Ottawa, and itis now ex-
pected it will be sawing lumber by Do-
minion Day.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
A visit to the lumber offices this week
found everybody still taking a very hope-
ful view of the outlook for lumber. The
general opinion is that prices are likely to
remain near the present mark for some
months yet. Reports from outside points
are equally sanguine of a large demand
and firm market. The demand has been
accelerated during the past week by
milder weather. Dealers who are for-
tunate enough to have any unsold stock
on hand are making good profits, as the
high prices asked for the new cut facili-
tate sales of old stock. The number of
inquiries for lumber for manufacturing and
building purposes is steadily increasing,
and to meet the demand the retail dealers
are buying quite liberally. A large per-

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
[tae
centage of the best grades of white pine
has passed out of the hands of manu-
facturers, and of late a greater disposition
has been shown by buyers to take the
lower grades. Nearly three months will
elapse before the new cut will be in
marketable condition, and in the mean-
time there is certain to be a shortage in
many items.
In some districts milder weather has
put anend to the hauling of hardwood
logs, although until recently operations
were conducted under favorable conditions.
The crop will not be larger than can be
easily taken care of. Birch lumber is
meeting with more favor and the stock is
comparatively low. Elm and maple are
steady, with some manufacturers asking
an advance of one dollar over recent
quotations. Hemlock continues to stiffen
in price.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The chief interest of the lumber trade of
the Maritime Provinces is centred on log-
ging operations. Throughout the greater
part of New Brunswick the snow is so
deep that great difficulty has been found
in hauling logs from the yards to the
landings, while in some sections logging
operations have been abandoned alto-
gether. A large operator says that yard-
ing has ceased, with only 75 to 80 per
cent. of the usual quantity of logs in.
Teams are scarce and operators are pay-
ing 25 per cent. higher wages than usual
for hauling to the landings. Asa result
of these conditions the logs will be secured
at greatly increased cost, which cannot
but have an appreciable effect upon the
price of manufactured lumber. Buyers
who have been holding off in the hope of
obtaining price concessions are likely to
find that in order to obtain the stock it
will be necessary to meet the ideas of
manufacturers.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
The prospective activity in building
operations in the West is regarded as
very favorable to the lumber trade. In
Winnipeg the year is expected to be the
most active in this respect which has ever
been experienced, and the same may be
said of many western points. The de-
mand for lumber is increasing and _ pros-
pects are bright. The new white pine
list for Winnipeg shows sharp advances
in finishing material and smaller advances
in other items. British Columbia lumber-
men have booked large orders for heavy
timbers and rough lumber for railway
work, as well as for shingles. Some
manufacturers fear that they will be com-
pelled to refuse orders in the near future.
UNITED STATES.
The situation in the United States in
respect to the purchase of mill cuts does
not correspond with that in Canada.
There has been less buying: since the first
of the year than during the same period
for many years, although the strength of
the market has been maintained. The
prospects for a fair supply of lumber this
season are good, and as the supply at
wholesale centres is considered sufficient
for the trade until the new supply is avail-
able, there have been few strong induce-
ments to purchase heavily in advance.
Nevertheless, those wko have closed con-
tracts acted wisely, as there has
been a slight stiffening of prices. In
some quarters a weaker market is antici-
pated later in the year, and some dealers
are disposed to delay the closing of con-
tracts in expectation of this result, Buf-
Match 115, 1903
falo has a fair supply of white pine, but
the stock of common and box is light.
The high price of good pine has resulted
in a larger consumption of the lower
grades, Firmness characterizes the hem-
lock situation. In New York the price of
the Pennsylvania product was last week
advanced 50 cents, making the basis $17.
In Buffalo the base price is $15.50, and in
Chicago $14.50. There have been reports
of a scarcity in the supply of Michigan
hemlock. No change of importance has
taken place in the hardwood market.
There is really no stock at the mills, while
the demand continues to expand. Some
eastern manufacturers of maple flooring
recently made a cnt in prices, but this has
been adjusted and prices restored to the
former basis.
GREAT BRITAIN.
It is difficult for anyone to forecast the
immediate future of the British_ timber
market. Compared with previous years
very few contracts for the season’s supply
have been closed, as importers cannot see
their way to pay the prices asked by
shippers. They fear that the higher
values will check consumption and are in
hope that shippers will eventually make
concessions. The high cost of new stock
has strengthened the price of lumber on
hand and made it comparatively easy to
effect sales. First and second quality pine
deals are in ligtt stock and sell very
readily. At recent auction sales high
prices were obtained for spruce, second
quality 3x9 bringing £10 5s. per standard
and third quality £9 15s. It is predicted
that £10 15s. and 410 will be reached
under the hammer for second and third
quality spruce deals before the arrival of
new goods. Importers are holding back
and hope to eventually contract for spruce
at £9 10s. for second quality and £9 for
third quality, 3x9, c. i. f. London. A few
sales have transpired for third quality ata
shade below £9 55. c.i.f. There isa good
demand for waney pine timber, but square
is quiet.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
Robert Gass, of Shubenacadie, N. S3
expects to cut 5,000,000 feet of lumber
this season.
Graham, Horne & Company will supply

At Cleveland, Ohio, the list price for
hemlock piece stuff is $16 for 12, 14 and
16 foot, $17 for 18 foot and $18 for 20 foot.
J. C. Baker, of Richford, Que., has
80,000 logs at South Bolton ready to be
rafted down the Missiquoi river in the
spring.
Mr. McGinnis, of Rockland, Ont., has
been awarded the contract of rafting the
logs at Gatineau Point for the Hawkes-
bury Lumber Company.
The De Laplante & McBurney Lumber
Company, of North Tonawanda, N.Y.,
have already purchased 38,000,000 teet of
lumber to supply their trade of the coming
season.
A two-mile timber berth on the South-

The St. Croix Lumber Company, which
recently purchased from T. G. McMullin,
of Truro, N. S., a valuable saw mill and
thirty thousand acres of timber land at St.
Croix, Hants county, expect to market
6,000,000 feet of lumber this season.
At Ashland, Wis., all kinds of box
lumber are high and cannot be had even
at the prices asked, due to the fact that
all of last season's cut has been sold and
a large amount of the cut of this year con-
tracted for at prices ranging from $10.75
to $11.25 for No. 4 boards and $5.50 to

find it necessary to hold firm, especially
as they know that the limit has been
about reached in substitute package until
something new is discovered. The city
demand for barrels is called light, though
some of the shops are running pretty
strong. Jobbers quote first-class dry elm
flour-barrel staves at $9.25 to $9.50, first-
class basswood heading at 6 to 6% cents
and coiled hoops at $10 to $10.50 for 6-
foot and $9.75 to $10.25 for 5%%-foot.
Stocks are rather light here at present,
but promise to increase steadily.
Secretary Mixer, of the Buffalo Lumber
Exchange, has just completed the
statistics of the lumber trade of that city
for the past year and is able to makea
fine showing. He finds that the lake
receipts of lumber were 208,586,000 feet,
an increase of 8,128,000 feet, and of
shingles 188,068,000, an increase of
36,225,000. The rail receipts, all reckon-
ed as lumber, were 155,563,000 feet, an
increase of 23,663,000 feet. This total of
391,095,000 feet is practically doubled by
the shipment of 389,638,000 feet to custom-
ers direct that did not come to Buffalo,
making a grand total of 780,733,000 feet.
The amotnt on hand at Buffalo at the
beginning of the year was 196,707,000
feet, all reckoned as lumber, an increase
of 6,406,000 feet. The increase in white
pine was 11,578,000 feet, and the-e was a
small increase in hardwoods but norway
and hemlock fell off.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
It would be difficult to conceive of con-
ditions more favorable to the lumber trade
than those which now exist.
whether white pine,hardwood or hemlock,
practically sells itself. Dealers are book-
ing large orders in advance of production
and anticipate a steady trade throughout
the year. In some instances orders for
dry stock have been turned down on
account of the scarcity in the supply of
certain grades and sizes. There is no
change to report in prices, for the reason
that manufacturers as a whole are not
taking advantage of every opportunity to
boost values. Individual advances have
been made on some lines, but the general
policy seems to be to keep prices near the
present basis and thus prevent, if possible,
a curtailment in consumption. The outlook
for building operations is favorable. In
Toronto and Hamilton a number of large
buildings are projected. In some quarters
fear is expressed that labor difficulties
may interfere with building to a slight ex-
tent, but on the other hand there seems to
be a disposition on the part of employers
to meet all reasonable demands. Con-
sidering the large percentage of the white
pine lumber production of this province

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
eae
which has already been contracted for by
United States buyers, it seems certain
that the demand this season will be large
enough to consume all available stock.
In sympathy with the United States mar-
ket, lath priczs are no more than holding
firm. Shingles are exhibiting the usual
strength incident to the approach of the
spring season.
QUFBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The strength of the spruce market is
due largely to the active demand for lum-
ber for shipment to the Eastern States,
Spruce has to some extent replaced white
Pine, and it is anticipated that more than
the usual quantity will this year find a
market in the United States, By some it
is predicted that prices will advance
sharply before the new cut is in shipping
condition. European trade is still some-
what uncertain. Shippers are indisposed
to pay the high prices asked by manufac-
turers until they are more certain that
prices in the British market will be main-
tained. Some purchases of South Ameri-
Can specifications have recently been
made at good figures. Present indications
point to anearly resumption of sawing oper-
ations. With a continuance of favorable
weather conditions logs will be in the
brooks and driving Operations started by
the first of April.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,
Remarkable activity characterizes the
lumber industry of Western Canada. The
prediction is made that the mills will not
be able to supply the demand, but it does
not seem probable that a dearth of lumber
will be experienced. The large number
of new mills that have been erected in
British Columbia would seem to be suffi-
cient to supply the increased demand aris-
ing from settlement in Manitoba and the
Territories. Some fear is expressed that
building operations will be hampered by
labor difficulties, the Carpenters of Win-
nipeg having already submitted an ulti-
matum to the contractors notifying them
of a demand for an increased scale of
wages.
UNITED STATES,
A heavy demand from Chicago for low
grade white pine boards has Ceveloped.
' Buying in the Minneapolis district has
reduced the supply to such a point that
box manufacturers fear a famine in dry
stock suitable for their Purposes. Reports
from manufacturers indicate that they are
short of almost everything except No. 1
and No. 2 boards. This somewhat un-
expected demand for the lower grades
has created additional confidence in mar-
ket conditions and brought about a buy-
ing movement on the part of dealers, In-
quiries for stock to be shipped upon the
opening of navigation have increased in
number, notwithstanding that prices are
about two dollars higher than at the
opening of navigation one year ago. It
is claimed that prices at eastern whole-
sale centres are still low when compared
with the figures asked by manufacturers,
A Buffalo dealer gives the following prices
at which he sells inch white pine : Up-
pers, $80 ; selects, $70; fine common,
$58; No. 1 cuts, $42; dressing, $38 ; 12-
Montreal
Ottawa
Three Rivers
London,
Eng.
No. 3 barn, $23; 12-inch box, $20. These
prices are said to represent no more than
a fair margin of profit.
The hardwood market is in a very satis-
factory condition. Inch quartered white
oak has sold at unprecedented prices,
Basswood leads in point of strength and
scarcity, followed closely by elm, Maple
is in moderate supply only, thick sizes
being quite scarce.
Lath is slightly weaker and offerings
are more plentiful. In the Saginaw Valley
No. 1 pine lath are held at $3.75 and No.
2at $3.25. In Chicago quotations are
$3.50 for No. 1, $3 for No. 1 Norway,and
$3.15 to $3.25 for No. 1 mixed.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The deadlock between the shippers and
the British importers still exists, Much
less than the usual quantity of stock
It is con-
sidered only a question of a short time
before sellers and buyers will come to-
gether, although it is difficult to judge as
to which side will give way. The condi-
lions seem to favor the shippers, and par-
has been contracted for,
ticularly in respect to the Canadian supply,
which will be unusually light on account
of the large demand at home and in the
United States. There is no change to re-
port in white pine deals. A considerable
quantity of red pine deals, 3x9, 4x9 and 3
X11, have been placed for shipment from
Montreal. The spruce market is steady.
The stock of spruce deals in the Surrey
Commercial Docks, I ondon, is under half
a million pieces. Agents of Canadian ex-
porters are holding out for £9 15S' Coif
London for 3x9 second quality spruce, £9
58 for third quality and £8 158 for fourth
quality. It is reported that in one or two
instances these prices have been shaded
slightly, but this has been due to the in-
ferior quality of the stock offered. At
recent public sales second quality 3x9
spruce brought £10 5s, third guality£9 15s
and second quality 3x7 £8.

The Edward Hines Lumber Company,
of Chicago, last week closed negotiations
at Marinette, Wis., for the purchase of
80,000,000 feet of lumber, represented by
two transactions. The first purchase con-
sisted of the cut of the two mills of the
N. Ludington Company, aggregating
59,000,000 feet of white pine lumber,
15,000,000 shingles, and 20,000,000 laths,
the purchase price being approximately
$1,000,000. The second purchase was
the cut of the Marinette mill of the H. Wit-
beck Company comprising 30,000,000 feet
of white pine lumber. These purchases
comprise practically two-thirds of the
combined output of the Marinette and
Menomimee mills.
Under date of February 28th Messrs.
Clairmonte, Man & Company say of the

schooner from Annapolis, N.S., with 173,-
000 feet white pine, spruce and hemlock,
and a schoone; from Belleveau Cove, N.S.,
with 160,000 feet spruce. The cargo of
the former was sold to arrive at $26 for
first and $21 for second quality white pine,
and $23 and $20 for spruce. The cargo
of tie latter brought $22.50 for first and
$19.50 for second quality spruce, and
28,000 long hemlock shingles brought
$2.40. Our yards are still barely supplied,
as during our crop season, just commenced,
there is always a good demand. There
has been no arrival of shingles since
October. Last sales were made at $4.89
to $5.04 for Gaspe Long Cedar and are
now worth more. Cedar Laying are selling
at $1.82 and Spruce Laying at $1.65 to

though operations are at a standstill in
some sections owing to the bad condition
of the country roads.
A manufacturer who has made a careful
survey of the situation confidently predicts
that there will be a substantial increase in
the quantity of hemlock sold during 1903,
which he thinks will be greater than for
any year previous to this, estimating the
expected increase at from 25 to 35 per
cent. over previous seasons. He gives as
a reason for this that stocks are already
in favorable demand, that
stuff is scarce and will continue so, and

that the spread in prices is greater in

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
March 18, 1903
TIMBER LIMIT TRANSACTIONS.
It is announced that the Rat Portage
Lumber Company has purchased the tim-
ber limits and saw mill of W. L. Tait at
Vancouver, B.C., the consideration being
$100,000.
H. M. Whitney, of Boston, and B. F.
Pearson and H. J. Crowe, of Halifax, N.
S., are organizing a lumber company to
be capitalized a $2,000,000. The field of
Operation will be Newfoundland, where
timber limits and saw mills have been pur-
chased.
ee Oe F
THE GLASGOW MARKET.
From Edmiston & Mitchell's monthly
timber circular we extract
the follow-
ing: Business during the month of Feb-
ruary has been fairly active at firm prices,
and the few shipments of pine and spruce
deals which came to hand via St. John and
Portland were for the most part promptly
disposed of from the ships’ side. The
position of the market as regards pine
1S very strong, and a fair amount of busi-
ness has been done in contracting for
delivery during the coming season, but in
spruce there has not been the same activ-
ity, buyers not responding as readily to
shippers’ prices as in the case of pine.
Sidings continue scarce, and are in active
demand, and the same remark applies to
broad ist quality pine deals,
In American hardwoods a steady busi-
ness has been passing, and values of pop-
Jar and quartered oak lumber continue
firm, a remark which equally applies to
good walnut and oak logs.
Deliveries from stock have been well
maintained during the month, and every-
thing denotes general activity in the trade.
The Clyde shipbuilding returns show
that 29 aggregating about
42,000 tons were launched, compared with
16 vessels, of about 41,000 tons, in Feb-
vessels
In new work it is gratifying
to state that several vessels have been
ruary, 1902.
placed within the past few weeks, and,
now that the threatened strike has been
averted, the prospects of this important
industry are more satisfactory.
In housebuilding there is also consider-
able activity in the city and neighborhood.
WHITE OR YELLOW PINE.—Business
during the month has been fairly active,
and quite a number of big parcels have
changed hands during thé month. We
hear of 80 logs ist class waney, about
2300 feet per page, having been sold toa
shipbuilder at 4s. 3d. per cubic foot ; about
400 loads 2nd class waney, about 1200
feet per page, at 2s. 7d. per cubic foot -
and 3-400 loads ist class square, 4o-feet
average cube, at 2s. 7d. to 2s. 8d. per
cubic foot. The stock of waney in first
hands is low, but there is an ample supply
of square wood,
RED PINE.—There have been no sales to
report, as stock in first hands is exhausted,
An early consignment of good-sized wood
would meet with a ready sale.
Oak.—There has been very little en-
quiry during the month, and no transac-
tions of importance. Stock is ample, and
is moving off slowly.
E_M—There have been a number of
enguiries during the month, and several
lines of 1st class rock have been placed
at prices round about 3s 1d to 3s 2d per
cubic foot. We hear also of a parcel or
two of soft elm having been cleared at
1s 3d per cubic foot.
BirCH—Quebec — There has been no
import so far this year of either logs or
planks, but it is reported that there are
some logs due shortly via Portland, which
have been sold to arrive. The position of
the market is firm, and values about igd
for 15-inch up to 2s for 17 to 18-inch
average. There is little or no demand
for small wood, but several enquiries for
16-in*h average. Lower Port—There is
no stock of logs on hand and the nominal
value is round about 17d to 18d for 15-inch
Planks
prices are unaltered at about 11d per foot
average. Stocks are heavy and
for ordinary Halifax planks.
AsH—There is nothing of importance to
report, the only movement being an
occasional retail transaction in logs and
lumber. Prices are round about 1s 6d for
12% inch up to 2s for 14%-inch average.
DeEALs, Etc. — Business during the
month has been of a fairly active charac-
ter and deliveries from the public yards
are well maintained. First pine deals
and sidings are much enquired for, and
those arriving per liners are keenly com-
peted for by buyers. Current values are
as under :—Broad First Pine Deals, £32
to £34; 21-inch, $29 to £31 ; ends and
£24. Second

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The indications of an early spring have
created a heavy demand for lumber for
building purposes. Retail dealers who
have been carrying light stocks in the
hope that a decline in prices might result
have suddenly entered the market and are
accepting the seller's quotations. Such
changes in prices as have taken place
within the past week have been towards a
higher level, allhough in* no case exceed-

placed by United States firms, and these
have absorbed a large proportion of the
available supply. Culls are also moving

has made no decided move. Buying of
British deals is still restricted by the un-
certainty which prevails as to the course
of prices in the Mother Country, although
shippers seem to be gaining confidence
that in the end they will be able to obtain
the prices now demanded. New Bruns-

UNITED STATES.
Developments of the past week have
been in the direction of a. firm lumber
market. Buying for spring trade has
been clearly in evidence, and on account
of the short supply of certain sizes of
white pine, some orders have been turned
down by wholesalers. This applies par-
ticularly to long dimension stock. There
is also a scarcity in the upper Lake Su-
perior district of 16-foot boards, especially
No. 1 and better, Throughout the Eastern
States there is a most hopeful feeling. In
some sections of Pennsylvania mill cull
boards and No. 2 plank are in strong de-
mand and promise to advance in price.
Buffalo and Tonawanda have a light sup-
ply of box and barn boards. According
to width, box lumber ranges from $15 to
$22 and barn boards from $17 to $23.
Our Albany list this week shows an ad-
vance in the price of x to 2 inch uppers,
2% inch selects, 1 to 2 inch fine common,
bracket boards, narrow dressing boards
and 12-inch No. r barn boards.
All kinds of hardwoods are moving free-
ly and the outlook for trade for several
months seems to be promisirg. The situ-
ation in respect to prices isa peculiar one.
Oak, cottonwood and cherry have ad-
vanced materially of late. There has been
more activity in white ash and prices have
stiffened slightly. Maple is in good de-
mand, but it has been difficult to advance
Prices to a much higher basis.. White and
red birch, it will be observed, have been

GREAT BRITAIN.
As far as the different reports can be
weighed, the British timber market is ex-
hibiting a little more confidence. The im-
porters have not yet acceeded to the
demands of the shippers, but prices of
lumber on hand have improved. One
circumstance assisting in this improve-
ment is the number of inquiries that have
been received for lumber for shipment to
South Africa. Prices of pine deals have
hardened and recently contracts have been
closed for several shipments at an ad-
vance.
At a recent public sale prices of spruce
showed a slight appreciation. * For 3X10
third quality Quebec spruce 49 58 per
standard of 1980 feet was realized. Several
lots of 3x7 second quality spruce brought
47 158 to £8 per standard, and 3x6 third
quality £7 5s.
A correspondent in Ireland advises that
Quebec shippers are asking an equivalent
to 85 cents per cubic foot c.i.f. for 17-inch
waney pine. This price is being opposed
by importers, who consider that it is higher
than the conditions will stand, contending
that consumers will use cheaper substi-

writes that 2,000 British Settlers will lo-
cate in the vicinity of Battleford, N.W.T.,
this spring, and that there will bea de-
mand for saw lumber and planed flooring.
From Buffalo comes the report of a
slow movement of slack cooperage stock.
Prices are firm, however. First-class elm
flour-barrel staves are selling to con-
sumers at $9.25 to $9.50; basswood
heading 6 to 6% cents, and coiled hoops
$9.75 to $10.25 for 5% foot and 10 to
$10.50 for 6-foot.
At present dry stocks of maple, elm,
birch and basswood, says the Chicago
Hardwood Record, are very much shorter
than at a yearago. The close of naviga-
tion last season saw the mill yards swept
clean of stocks in Michigan, and by the
time navigation opens again the city yards
will be swept clean also. Wisconsin is
also bare of dry stock, or very nearly so,
and by the time winter cut stock begins to
move the customers will be glad to get it.
The situation in northern hardwoods is
certainly strong, and with the present
prospect for a season's cut it seems that
prices on this class of stock must go higher
rather than lower.

Concerning Canadian lumber at Lon-
don, Messrs. Churchill & Sim Say:
There is no change to report in the pine
deal market. Progress is being made in
sales for arrival of a small supply at very
high rates. For spruce, the demand in
London has been a good deal restricted
during February ; prices seemed to be
' dragged as high as they will go here and
they are maintained with difficulty, falling
below current quotations whenever buyers
get a chance. Yet they are not nearly
‘high enough to please shippers who are
buoyed up with the continued demand
from the United States, Very consider-
able sales of red pine deals, 3 by 9, 4 by
9, and 3 by 11 inch, have been made for
shipment from Montreal for the Cape
market. There is no change to report in
the market here for oak, birch, or white
pine timber. Elm and ash have fallen out
of demand.

WHITE PINE LUMBER PRICES.
Stiffening prices on lumber have not
tended to increase the demand to any ex-
tent and in many instances building Oper-
ations have been known to be deferred in
the hope that prices will go lower. This
expectation, however, sees hardly justi-
fied by the conditions, for there is a big
void to fill in stocks all over the country
before any surplus can arise that would be
e* ‘
in the north at mills where there is any
timber available will be large, but so many
of the big mills have gone out of commis-
sion during the past year and so many
have a restricted output of logs for this
season's sawing that on the whole it is
doubtful whether the cut this year will be
as large as last, in which case there is
hardly to be expected a surplus in view of
the demand in sight. As against an
actual scarcity of lumber, there is visible
no feature that could cause or induce low-
er prices, unless there should bea general
collapse of all values, which, considering
the great industrial activity all over the
country, is not to be regarded within the
bounds of probability. —American Lum-

their timber at the stump long enough to

rapidly as it was thus treated, leaving the
finishing touches for the stream side or

Several firms have been caught in the
inward movement of their supplies to their
*“‘keepovers,” which, in itself, is a serious
matter, as it was the intention ,to com-
mence cutting operations early in August.
Another limit sale was reported, this
week, From the Chisholm Estate, of
Hamilton, Mr. R. A. Klock, of Ottawa,
purchased a tract of pine land, 200 square
miles extent, the east
branch of the Lievre river, in the upper
country. The purchase price was in the
neighborhood of $60,000. The limit is”
said to contain both log and timber mak-
ing trees of good girth. Mr. Klock, who
was a member of the old lumber firm of
Klock Bros., Aylmer, Que., will start work
on the newly purchased limit this coming

The negotiations between the Rideau
Lumber Company, of Ottawa, and the
firm of A. & P. White, of Pembroke, for
the purchase of the latter's mill and limits,
have fallen through. The cause is under-
stood to have been the failure to agree on
terms.
| The employment agencies are in a bad
way for eligible men for the log drives
which will soon be under way. While the
city is swarming with shantymen, only a
comparative few are willing to go back
for the driving season. Wages run as
high as $25 and $30 and board. Gangs
of: Indians are being secured from the
Caughnawaga reserve.
During the past winter the Booth mil]
turned out large quantities of hardwood
lumber tor future shipment. The large
supply of pine logs brought by rail from
the Madawaska limits are on the ice at the
mill, and will serve for the early summer
cutting.
No changes have occurred in the local
lumber market as regards prices since
Jast letter. Movement of stock is fairly
active. Dealers are busy fitting up their
yards. Millmen are overhauling their
equipment preparatory to a busy season.
A local lumber manufacturer predicted
recently that prices would suffer an unex-
pected break within a year. He
his pessimistic prophecy on the belief that
based
in the matter of production the business
was being overdone. Inquiry, however,
shows that he is alone in his opinion. It
was pointed out by one dealer that the
unexpected break-up of spring caught
some logs and their non-arrival at the
mills next summer will curtail the output
anyway. However, a market is to be ex-
pected for all that can be cut.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
For some time it has been freely pre-
dicted that lumber prices would experi-
ence no recession before midsummer at
the earliest, and that the strength of the
market might continue throughout the
year. Recently natural conditions have
combined to strengthen this view. The
most important of these conditions, per-
haps, is the early break-up of winter and
the consequent cessation of logging oper-
ations. In the Georgian Bay district
large quantities of logs have been left on
the skids, one firm alone having five
million feet thus hung up. It is estimated
that there will be an average shortage
from this cause of 10 per cent. from the
output calculated on for the season, while
the possibility of a further shortage
through low water for driving purposes
has still to be reckoned with.

to supply a customer, he usually accedes
to the demands of the seller, even if his
price is above the market quotation.
There is, however, no desire on the part
of the lumber trade to advance prices to
an abnormal basis, although conditions
alone may bring this about.
Several orders have recently been
placed for box lumber, which is scarce in
the Eastern. States. Manutacturers are
asking $13 at the mill for 1x10 hox and
mill culls, $14.50 for 14 inch, and $13.50
for 14x12 inch. An improvement in the
demand for Norway lumber is reported.
Common and dressing, 2x6 and 7 inch,
brings $13.50 at the mill, and 2x8 inch $15
for 12 to 16 foot lengths.
inck $16.50 is asked.
The hardwood market has been a repe-
tition of past weeks. There is good buy-
ing wherever dry stock can be located
and no small amount of contracting for
the future cut. Mill run maple and birch
are held around $16. There are no signs
of weakness on account of the approach
of the sawing season.
For 10 and 12-
QUFBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
A noticeable improvement in the spruce
lumber market is reported. Manutac-
turers are receiving numerous inquiries for
stock. A heavy demand from South Amer-
ica has offset the slight falling off in British
trade. Deals have brought as much as
$14 alongside ship for a specification of
fifty per cent. 7 and 8 inch and fifty per
cent. ginch and up. There has been an
advance of about $2 per thousand in the
price of spruce clapboards for shipment
to the Eastern States. Local trade is also
picking up. It is said that the yards have
not been so bare of stock in twenty years.
Box shooks find a market as readily as
manufactured. Shingles are exhibiting
more activity, and with this activity has
come a slightly better tone to the market.
While sales of extras for Boston delivery
are still reported as low as $3.35, all the
large manufacturers are refusing to con-
tract below $3.40, and some sales are said
———————
to have been made at $3.45. The condi-
tions would seem to be in favor of higher
prices for shingles.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
Lumber manufacturers and dealers cat-
ering to the North-West market are ex-
periencing some difficulty in meeting the
demand for lumber. Not that there is an
inadequate supply, but with the early
spring has come a rush of orders for im-
mediate shipment which is taxing the
capacity of the yards to handle. Car
shortage is still a serious drawback.
Manufacturers have many orders on
their books for lumber and shingles, and
if it had been possible to secure cars for
making shipments, they would now be in
much better position to cope with the
spring trade. From the standpoint of
orders and prices no complaint can be
made. Business is good, with indications
of the best year yet experienced. The
pending labor difficulties at Winnipeg and
Vancouver will, it is believed, be satisfac-
torily settled at an early date, and theré |
will then be removed almost ithe only ob- |
stacle to an active building season. i)

country come reports of increasing busi-
ness, from which it is concluded that the
high price of lumber is not affecting build-
ing Operations. Stocks in the east are
very light, but promise to be augmented in
the near future upon the opening of navi-
gation. Box lumber and mill culls lead in
point of demand throughout the Eastern
States, and some dealers have recently
marked up prices to a still higher basis.
In the Lake Superior district No. 3 and
better lumber is being sold at from $18 to
$18.50, which would make this class of
stock $21 for Chicago delivery. There is
no dry piece stuff and much of that to be
cut the coming season has been contracted
for. The opening price by cargo is based
on $16.50 for No. 1 short dry pine piece
stuff, Chisago delivery. Hemlock contin-
ues strong, the Wisconsin manufacturers
having adopted a new list making a mater-
ial advance on several items. Similiar
action was taken by the Wisconsin manu-
facturers of hardwood lumber. The new
list will be found in another column. The
conditions of trade are such that there is
no price cutting but a very general dis.
position to adhere to the list. The quantity
of hardwood logs taken out the past winter
has not been large and it is estimated that
more than one-half of the production has
already been placed undercontract. Thick
maple and basswood are scarcer than
other lines.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The British market is exhibiting a more
cheerful tone and representatives of Cana-
dian shippers have succeeded recently in
placing considerable stock. There is an
increasing inquiry from the East Coast for
spruce deals. This is owing to the high
prices asked for Baltic whitewood. An
ordinary specification of 60 to 65 per cent.
of 7 and 8-inch spruce is selling at £7 10s
c.i.f. West Coast ports, and for small
cargoes of the same specification £7 15s

iv
has been paid. Consumption is more ac- qt
tive, which is regarded as a favorable in-
dication on account of the probability of
an early opening of navigation. Holders
of stock are seizing every opportunity to
reduce their supply so as to be in a posi-
tion to receive new shipments, but not-
withstanding this fact prices have been
maintained and in some cases advanced.
A quantity of first quality Quebec pine,
2x8 inch, brought £22 10s at a recent
public sale. Waney pine is exceedingly
firm. Belfast importers have contracted
on the basis of 3s 9d per foot c.i.f. for 18-
inch. This, so far as can be learned, is
the maximum figure that has yet been
paid.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
Carnweth’s steam mil! has finished saw-
ing 250,000 feet of lumber at Memel, N.B.
The barque Avonia is loading dea’s at
Hopewell Cape, N. B., for the United

J. L. Scott & Son, of Chatham, Ont.,
recently purchased 20,000 cedar posts for
the spring trade.
The Moyie Lumber Company, of Moyie,
B. C., expect to have 10,000,000 feet of
logs to supply their mills during the com-
ing season.
The lumber clearances from St. John,
N.B., for the United States tor the week
ending March a2ist included 1,168,000 feet

land, has placed his season’s output of
birch timber with Joseph Owen & Sons,
Limited, of Liverpool.
Revelstoke vitizens are staking out 90
miles of timber locations under special
licenses in the Big Bend country. This is
the largest tract of timber land ever taken
up under special license.
The Alex. Gibson Railway & Manufae
turing Company, of Marysville, N.B., have
finished logging operations on the Nash-
waak river. The cut has been in the vicin-
ity of 30,000,000 feet. As the ice is al-
ready out of most of the tributaries of the
Nashwaak, stream driving will be com-
menced ina short time.
Under date of March 14th Messrs. Clair-
-monte, Man & Company say of the Barba-
does market: ‘‘ We have had no arrival
with lumber during the fortnight. Our
yards are still barely supplied, and
during our reaping season, now
going on, there is always a good de-
mand. Prices are as follows: White pine,
$26 for first quality and $21 for second
quality; spruce, $22.50 for first and $19.-
50 for second quality. Last sales of Gaspe
long cedar shingles were made at $4.89 to
$5.04, but they are now worth more.
Cedar laying shingles are worth $1.82 and
spruce laying $1.65 to $1.70.”
It is estimated that the cut of logs on
the south branch of the Oromocto river, in
New Brunswick, this winter was in the
neighborhood of 6,000,000 feet. Smith

SHIPPING MATTERS.
The steamer Brooklyn has been char-
tered by Clarke Bros. to load lumber at
Digby and Bear River, N. S., for the
West Indies.

c. England, deals, 36s, May-June loading;

$7.75; Phyllis, St. John, N. B., to Buenos
Ayres, lumber, $7.75.
The Board of Managers of the Lumber
Detroit
on March 24th, fixed its season carrying
Carriers, in executive session at
charges and decided upon the policy of
the organization during the coming sea-
son. On the main, the lumber carrying
rate will be about the same as it was last
season, with the exception of hemlock.
This was increased materially.
For the purpose of facilitating the work
of making differential rates between the
various points, the lakes were divided into
eight sections and the carrying charges
fixed as follows :—
Section No. 1—From the head of the
lakes to Keweenaw Point, to Chicago and
Lake Erie ports, pine, $2.50 per 1000 feet,
Section No. 2—From Keweenaw Point
to Whitefish Point, to Chicago and Lake
Erie ports, pine, $2.25 per 1000 feet.
Section No. 3—Whitefish Point to De-
tour, to Chicago and Lake Erie ports,
pine $2 per 1000 feet.
Section No. 3—From Straits of Macki-
naw, including Lake Huron and Georgian
Bay, to Chicago and Lake Erie ports,
pine, $1.75 per 1000 feet; hemlock 25
cents extra. 3
Section No. 5—North end of Lake
Michigan to a line drawn from Green Bay
to Traverse City, to Lake Erie, $2 per
1000 feet.
Section No. 6—Including the balance
of Lake Michigan to Chicago, to Lake
Erie, $2.12} per 1000 feet ; hemlock, 25
cents additional to above rates ; hardwood,
75 cents per 1000 additional.
Section No. 7—To Oswego, 75 cents
additional over Tonawanda rates.
Section No. 8—Including Ogdensburg,
$1 over Tonawanda rates.
From district No. 1 to Bay City, pine,
$2.25. Timber6x6to 8x10 to pay 25
cents per 1000 over pine rates; 1ox1o and
larger timber, 50 cents per 1000 feet extra
over board rates.
Separate rates were made trom St. Ig-
nace and Cheboygan to Chicago. They
were $1.75 on dry white pine ; $1.87} on
green and 124 cents additional over above
rates on hemlock. Basswood same as
hardwood, 50 cents over pine rate,
No action was taken in regard to the
lime of starting out, although all members
present favoured a Jate start. But few of
the owners of lumber tonnage have start-
ed to fit out, and it will probably be the
middle of April before they get under way
in full swing.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The lumber demand throughout Ontario
is all that could be desired. Notwith-
standing that the sawing season is near
at hand, prices of lumber remain unusual-
ly firm. There seems little ground on
which to base the expectation of lower
prices, as a large percentage of the pro-
duction of all kinds of lumber has already
passed out of first hands.
Salesmes who have visited retail yards
report light stocks on hand. They have
found it comparatively easy to effect sales,
buyers having evidently become convinc-
ed that prices will not weaken for a few
months at least.
Some manufacturers are quoting prices
considerably above our list. No. 3 cuts
and better have been sold this spring at
$40. Box and common is worth $16 at
the mill, 3x 10 common $16 to $17, and
3x12 $17 to $18. It is probable that sales
are being made below these figures, but
on the other hand an established grade is

QUFBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The spruce lumber market has been
much strengthened by the early appear-
ance of spring, which has induced a brisk
demand. Manufacturers are receiving
numerous inquiries for stock for immediate
shipment to the United States, while there
is also more activity and a better tone in
respect to British trade. Asin some dis-
tricts the cut of logs was less than autici-
pated on account of unfavorable operating
conditions, there is little fear ot a decline

rivers several operators have been unable

in prices.
Spruce laths are disposed to strengthen,
most sales being made around $3.15 for 1%
inch. Extra cedar shingles from a reliable
manufacturer at less than $3.50 on Boston
rate of freight are now considered a bar-
gain. Smaller manufacturers are selling
as low as $3.40, but this can scarcely be
taken as the market price.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,
The lumber trade continues active and the
market firm. Within the week there hane
been no price changes excepting in respect
to British Columbia shingles, which, ac-
cording to report, have been advanced
ten cents per thousand. The new price is
intended to apply to territory east of the
Rocky Mountains, making the price in
Manitoba and the Territories $2.75. At
British Columbia points the figure remains
at $2.25. Shingle manvtacturers claim
that the cost of production has increased
much more than the selling price and that
athe new list will not give more than a fair
margin of profit.
While the lumber business in British
Columbia is in a prosperous condition, the
trade is somewhat unsettled on account ofa
new regulation in respect to timber licenses
ses which has been put into eftect by the
Provincial Legislature. This regulation
provides that in future no special license
to cut timber on Crown lands wil! be
granted or renewed until after the appli-
cants have had the limit surveyed by a
provincial land surveyor. Loggers con-
tend that the expense of making surveys
will be exceedingly large.

necessary lumber for their factories and
are picking up mill culls and scoots wher-
ever they can be located. Within the
past month low grade stock has come into
prominence, whereas the call fer the upper
grades has declined and stocks have ac-
cumulated. This is explained, no doubt,
by the high price asked for the best grades.
In the Buffalo market inch uppers have been
beld at $86, certainly a fancy figure, and
as aresult users of that grade of lumber
have employed substitutes wherever it was
possible to do so. The export trade
is more active than for several years, 12-
inch barn and box being in good demand
for that purpose. Eastern wholesale deal-
ers report that there is no talk of advanc-
ing prices, as it is felt that such action
would curtail the eastern demand. If,
however, there should be a further ad-
vance at producing points, it will be neces-
sary for wholesale dealers to fall into line.

strong. Thedemand for hemlock isin ex-
cess of the facilities for supplying it. In
Michigan as high as $12 at the mill is asked.
There has beena flurry in the shingle
market, caused by the situation in respect
to red cedars. Prices of these shingles are
somewhat weak, and it is reported that
the Washington manufacturers are consid-
ering the closing down of the mills for
a time.

GREAT BRITAIN,
British importers are still resisting the
increased prices asked for lumber by
White Sea and Swedish shippers. It is
reported that the latter have reduced their
asking prices five shillings per standard,
and that as a result some contracts have
been closed.
porters exhibited a similiar attitude in
respect to Canadian lumber, but as the
Earlier in the season im-
opening of navigation approached they
gradually met the views of spippers and a
considerable quantity of pine and spruce
deals has been bought. The price of New
Brunswick spruce deals is now firmly es-
tablished at £7 10s per standard c.i.f.
London and Liverpool for the usual speci-
fication of 60 to 65 per cent. 7 and 8 inch.
This is equal to $19 per thousand feet.
The consumption in Great Britain is not
all that could be desired, but the opinion
is advanced that a better tone will prevail
from now on. Prices realized at recent
public sales have been somewhat heavy,
due probably to the indisposition of buyers
to increase their stock of lumber very
largely at a time when new stock is about
to arrive. Reports from Ireland are not
encouraging, the high prices asked for
Quebec pine and spruce having induced
some importers to purchase more heavily
of pitch pine.
NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.
The market for New Brunswick shingles
has recently stiffened slightly, and the pro-
duction of well known mills is bringing

ful brands are selling at 10 to 15 cents

out the indications are that the yards will
be ready to buy freely by the time the
summer mills start sawing. It is also
likely that many of the strikes now on
in building lines will be settled by May
15th, so that the season should open with
a fairly brisk demand. General indications
are, therefore, that prices will be held at
present figures or higher. Quotations for
standard shingles on Boston rates are as
follows :
Extras, $3.40 to $3.50; Clears, $2.95 to
$3.00; 2nd Clear, $2.40; Clear White,
$2.30; Extra No. 1, $1.75.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
The Tracadie Lumber Company, of
Sheila, N.B., took out about 13,000,000
feet of logs during the past winter.
Timothy Lynch, operating on the Mira-
michi River in New Brunswick, succeeded
in getting all his logs to driving waters.
The O'Neill Lumber Company, of St.
Martins, N.B., will have a smaller stock of
logs than anticipated, as operators were
obliged to cease work in the woods earlier
than usual.
By the breaking of a boom at St. Rom-
uald, Que., 15,000 logs belonging to E.
Atkinson were set adrift. Most of the
logs have been recovered, but at con-
siderable expense.
Since January the Canadian Northern
Railway has transported over 2,000,000
feet of saw logs from Whitefish and other
points to Port Arthur for the Pigeon River
Lumber Company.
It is reported that about 7,000,000 feet
of logs cut on the Tobique river, in New
Brunswick, have been left in the woods on
account of the mild weather, also 20,000,-
ooo feet cut on the Salmon river.
The Department of Railways and Canals
at Ottawa is asking for tenders up to
April goth for the supply of about 155,000
feet b.m. of British Columbia fir dimension
timber. The timber is required for the
Rideau canal.
The Eastern States is said to be willing
to buy heavily of No. 1 lath. The Merrill-
Ring Company, of Duluth, Minn., have sold
their entire cut for the coming season.
Prices are $3 to $3.25 for No. 1, and $2.50
to $2.75 for No. 2.
In the Saginaw valley white pine shingles
are quoted at $4.35 and $3.25. XXXX
cedar are worth $4 and clear butts $2.75.
Demand for lath is good. No. 1 pine are
worth $3.75, No. 2 $3.25, No. 1 hemlock
$3.35, and No. 2 hemlock $2.80.
The Huntsville Lumber Company, of
Huntsville, Ont., are reported to have
recently placed under contract almost the
entire season's cut of their two mills, esti-
mated in the neighborhood of 15,000,000
feet, and including lath and
shingles.

highest ever quoted in that town, and that
the demand is exceptionally brisk. Spruce
scantling is selling at $14 per thousand, an
advance of $1 over the figure of last year.
Hemlock boards are quoted at $12, as
against $11 one year ago. The most im-
portant advance, however, has taken
place in the price of laths, which are par-
ticularly scarce and quoted at $3.50 in
comparison with $2.25 last year.
It is reported that the shipments of lum-
ber from Grindstone Island, Que., and
Hopewell Cape, N.B., this season will
exceed by a large amount the shipments
of any previous year. It is said the total
will be 28,000,000 or 30,000,000 feet. A
number of vessels have already been
chartered to load at these places. The
ship Henolulu is due at Grindstone Island
and the P. G. Blanchard is expected there
on May ist.
Of hemlock the American Lumberman
says: Hemlock occupies a rather unusual
position. The wood has come into great
prominence during the last few months,
due to the wide substitution that has of
late been a feature of the market. It is
now an important factor and the present
demand is in excess of the facilities for
supplying it. The situation in this wood
is a good indication of the general market
coudition, or rather of a peculiar phase of
it. The consumption of lumber has been
so heavy that woods other than those
ordinarily used have been brought into
play and the result has been a Jarge in-
crease in the demand for a wood that
formerly was used to only a limited extent.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
Each week brings to the lumber tradea
larger volume of inquiries and active busi-
ness. Given fine weather and there will.
doubtless be more urgent placing of
orders than has been seen for some time,
tor everybody seems imbued with a desire
to make the most of the prevailing favor-
able commercial conditions. There are
still to be found persons who regard lum-
ber prices as being too high, but usually
such persons give little consideration to
the conditions which have brought about
the advanced prices. To the writer a
manufacturer advanced several arguments
in justification of the present prices, one
of which—and a very important one—was
that the value of white pine timber is
gradually working to a higher basis. He
further named several large manufacturers
who have disposed of their total 1903
cut, and others who have sold a large
proportion of their output. When the
quantity which will be shipped to the
United States is deducted from the
Georgian Bay production, it leaves no
large amount of lumber to be disposed
of in the home market. Buyers for
the British market have placed under
contract the usual proportion of the Ot-
tawa Valley product. Considering these
conditions, and the shortage in{the | g
supply as the result of the early cessation
of work in the woods, estimated from 10
to 15 per cent. of the total cut, the buyer
who is waiting for lower prices hefore
placing orders for his seaso.’s requirinents
seems likely to be disappvisted.
The hope previously expressed of free-
dom from strikes in the bui!ding trades has
so far been realized, but the demands
recently made by the labor unions upon the

QUFBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,
M inufacturers of spruce lumber feel
somewhat encouraged on account of
recent inguiries received for cargo ship-
ments to the east coast of Eng'and. A
few years ago a number of cargoes were
placed on the east coast, but since that
lime the business has been of little
account. It seems that the price of
Baltic whitewood has now reached the
point where some consumers are disposed
to again substitute spruce on account of its

UNITED STATES,
There seems no likelihood of an early
change in the remarkable condition of the
lumber trade of the United States. The
incidents of the past week have been in
the direction of further strengthening’ the
hands of the holder of lumber. Several
large purchases of white pine have recent-
ly been made in the Lake Superior“district.
It is estimated that 150,000,000 feet of the
proposed cut on the Menominee river has
already been sold. In Chicago all grades
of lumber are moving actively. Piece
stuff brings $16.75 delivered in that city.
Throughout the Eastern States there is a
general complaint of a scarcity of box
lumber, and there is a tendency to ad-
vance prices on all the coarser items. It
is said that the supply of box, mill culls,
and 6 and 12-inch barn boards is so small
at Tonawanda that they are likely to be
out of the market before new stock ar-
rives. There is a splendid demand. for
Norway lumber, ‘‘C” and better being
quoted at $40. Michigan manufacturers
have made another advance in the price of
hemlock lumber, for which the demand
is much heavier than is usual at this season
of the year. Some dealers are shipping
yreen stock to fill their orders.
The entire hardwood list has been
helped by the strong position of basswood.
The Wisconsin Hardwood Lumbermen’s
Association has changed its quotations on
this lumber, making an advance of $1
from the list adopted March 25th. The
present prices are as follows, f. o. b. Wau-
sau: 1-inch 1sts and 2nds clear basswood,
5 to ir inches, 8 to 16 feet, $33; 1% to
1¥% inch, $35; 2 inch, $37. White ash is
also stronger, while maple and soft elm
are becoming scarce. Good quartered
white oak is selling in the eastern market
at $70, while one year ago it could be
bought for $55.
The shingle situation is satisfactory ex-
cept in respect to Washington red cedars.
At a meeting of the Washington Shingle
Manufacturers’ Association, held last
week, it was decided to restrict the pro-
duction, and it is the general opinion that
about two hundred of the Washington
mills will be closed down for an indefinite
period.
GREAT BRITAIN.
Reports received respecting the con-
dition of the British market are some-
what at variance. Shippers claim that
they have succeeded in placing large
stocks at their asking prices, while from
other sources comes the information that
importers have as yet bought sparingly
and that they are not inclined to fall in
with the views of shippers as to prices. It
is perhaps near the mark to say) that less
than the usual quantity of Canadian lum-
ber has been placed this season with
British buyers. The outlook, however, is
by no means discouraging, as stocks are
asarulein a healthy condition. There
are practically no wide pine deals held in
first hands, and shipments are taken at
prices ranging from £32 to £39 per
standard. The statistical position of red
pine is favorable. Taking the Glasgow
market as an example, the stock on hand

rock elm is in good demand, but the stock
of soft elm is large and prices corres-
pondingly low. Birch is in better inquiry,

to 21d per cubic foot.
STOCKS AND PRICE-:.
The City of Winnipeg is asking for
tenders up to April 28th for supply of
lumber.
No. 1 white pine lath are quoted in
Chicago at $3.60 to $3.75, No. 1 hem-
lock and No. 1 Norway at $3.25, and No.
2\lath at $2.75 to $3.
J. D. Carew, of Lindsay, Ont., has re-
ceived a drive of 10,000 logs from Scugog
Lake. Other drives are on the way from
the Squaw River and Nogey’s Creek.
The Rathbun Company have received
the contract to supply lumber for the City
of Kingston at $22.35 per thousand feet,
and cedar for stringers at 3 cents per run-
ning foot.
The New Brunswick government will
offer for sale at Fredericton, on April
22nd, four timber berths, as follows: 2
sq. miles on west branch Sabbies River,
Bernard D. McCormick, applicant ; 2%
sq. miles at mouth of Six Mile Brook,

Owing to the early break-up of the log-
ging roads in New Brunswick, W. J. Scott.
operating on the Keswick river, was oblig-
ed to leave 4,000 logs in the woods. Sev-
eral operators for Donald Fraser & Sons
and the Tobique Manufacturing Company
are reported to have also left large quan-
tities of logs in the woods.
According to the United States Consul,
the exports of lumber to the United States
during the three months ending March 31
were valued at $185,428.58. Of this
amount $94,616.03 represented Maine lum-
ber manufactured at St. John, and $90,-
812.55 provincial lumber. Of the New
Brunswick production long lumber was
valued at $10,559.90 and lath at $25,922.27.
Pulp exports represented $53,500.26, or
more than half of the total New Brunswick
product.
In the Chicago market tierce hoops are
firm in price and scarce, quotations rang-
ing from $15.50 to $16, while pork hoops
are quoted from $11 to $12. In slack
cooperage stocks are light and demand
not urgent. Basswood heading for flour
barrels is quoted at about 5% cents a set,
with sugar barrel heading at 6% cents.
The high price of hardwood lumber is
making it difficult for purchasers of slack
barrel stock to secure material with which
to fill their orders.
Under date of March 28th, S. P. Mus-
son, Son & Company refer to the Barba-
does lumber market as follows: ‘‘ There
has been no arrival of either white pine or
spruce during the fortnight, but a mixed

being that prices will decline later on.

A better movement of shingles at North
Tonawanda has not been noted this year,
demand being exceptionally good. Red

than a week ago, attributed to a surplus

money. White pine manufacturers are re-

are being placed with producers right
along.
A scarcity of dry hardwood is restrict-
ing the movement to consumers. During
the month of March, says the Mississippi
Valley Lumberman, a larger quantity was
sold and shipped than in the the three pre-
ceding months, and supplies of the most
desirable woods have been reduced to un-
usually low proportions. Prices on white
quartered oak continue extremely high,
and for the time being there is little pros-
pect of any reduction. Common and cull
are being absorbed more readily and $38
to $40 is obtained. A scarcity of bass-
wood and cottonwood enables holders to
obtained high prices, and cottonwood box
boards have sold up to $44, and culls at
$23, free on board, Cairo. The top price
paid on basswood at Wisconsin points is
$32 for firsts and seconds.

sion in the furniture trade, and partly “to
other cheaper woods being used in its
place. Several shipments of American
round logs have come to hand this month,
the best of which found buyers from the
ship's side, the balance going into. store.
Only second-growth ash is especially en-
quired for.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
A scrutiny of the fumber situation ‘fails
to reveal any weak spots in the market.
The movement of building lumber is large,
manufacturers are buying quite liberally,
and the export demand is gradually im-
proving. United States firms are still
buying with considerable energy. It is
reported that the Skillings, Whitney &
Barnes Lumber Company have purchased
upwards of 150,000,000 feet of white pine
lumber to be sawn this season by Ontario
mills, while important purchases have
also been made by other concerns. Lum-
ber manufacturers have a larger volume
of orders on their books than at this time
one year ago. These factors cannot be
ignored. Onthe other hand, they seem
to remove any probability of lower prices
during the spring or summer seasons.
Prices of log run pine are still of a wide
range. A certain manufacturer who sold
a large proportion of his output at $20 per
thousand feet, is asking $25 for the bal-
ance, comprising 8,000,000 feet of select-
ed logs. Average prices are perhaps $17
to $19 for common log run, $19 to $21 for
medium, and $24 to $26 for choice. Nor-
way lumber is worth about $13 at the mill.
QUFBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Differences have arisen between the
Montreal stevedores and Jongshoremen
which threaten to tie up business at that
port upon the opening of navigation. Thir-
teen steamers are expected to arrive for
cargoes within the next week, and if a
settlement is not reached in the meantime
the shipping of lumber may be seriously
interfered with. Chartering of lumber
vessels has not been active, and it is con-
sidered that the spring shipments will be
lighter than usual. The market for spruce
deals is slightly stronger, while there have
been numerous inquiries for clapboards
for shipment to the Eastern States. Quebec
shippers have placed considerable square
and waney timber. It is reported that al-
most the entire stock of waney pine has
been placed at prices averaging about 85
cents per cubic foot for 18-inch delivered
on vessel at port. For long lengths as
high as $1 is said to have been paid. Que-
bec oak has been placed around 80 cents
c.i.f. London. There is a better tone to
the shingle market. For extra quality
New Brunswick cedars $3.50 is offered,
while a few of the largest manufacturers
are holding their best grade at $3.55.
UNITED STATES.
The records of building permits for
twenty-three leading cities of the United
States show that building is more active
than last year. During the month of
March, 1902, 7,216 permits were issued
in these cities, representing a value of
$30,968,821, as compared with 7,380 per-
mits of a value of $37,246,655 for the cor-
responding month of this year. These
figures indicate that the higher price of
lumber has had little effect upon building
operations, being offset no doubt by the
prosperous financial and industrial con-
ditions. There is an active demand for
lumber of all kinds. The opening of
navigation has been delayed and stocks
of white pine are running low. At Buffalo
and Tonawanda the scarcity of box and
mill culls has resulted ina slight advance
in prices. Some dealers are now asking
$21 for 12-inch box, as compared with

market piece stuff is selling from the
yards at from $17.50 to $18, with $16.75
asked for 2x4 to 2x10 in short stuff. No.
3 and better is held around $22.50. The
demand for spruce lumber is strong and
there is every prospect that present prices
will prevail for some months at least.
Quartered oak leads the hardwood mar-
ket. Prices of this kind of lumber are
somewhat irregular, some dealers ventur-
ing to hold their stock at figures which
are considered by more conservative per-
sons to be excessive. There is a good
call for thick maple, while recently a
shortage in the supply of elm has develop-
ed. Green basswood is being purchased
by some consumers on account of inability
to obtain the dry article. Maple flooring,
which has been a little weak for some
time, is now showing more activity and a
hardening tendency.

spruce deals have recently been sold in
London at £9 5s. tor 9-inch third quality,

Brunswick spruce, per regular liners from
St. John, the price is £7 7s. 6d. to £7 ros.

have been small, but stocks at Liverpool,
Manchester and other ports are somewhat

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
With log driving well in hand on several
streams, the lumbermen are now turning
their attention to the mills. Preparations
are well advanced for a good season’s
cut. The cool spring presages a steady
movement of logs, as the larger streams
will be fed gradually from their tributaries
during the late spring and early summer.
The ice is not expected to move out of the
more northerly creeks for another fort-
night.
The first mill in the Ottawa district to
resume operations was that of the Hawkes-
bury Lumber Company, at Hawkesbury,
Ont.
day paralyzed operations, but it was of
short duration.
The Booth mill at Ottawa is running
night and day, and willsoon be employing
between 1,500 and 1,800 men and boys, in
the mills and yards. The Mason mill at Hin-
tonburg, secured by the Shepherd & Morse
Company, with its new equipment, is
about the only new thing outside the estab-
lishment of the Fraser mill at Deschenes,
and Davidson & Thackery’s new mill at
Davidson, Que., the new lumbering vil-
lage in the Pontiac district.
Reference to the market page will show
an advance in several lines of high grade
stock. Even as a futurity it is exceeding-
ly scarce, and it is figured that over one-
half of the 1903 mill cut has long ere this
passed from the manufacturer to the Brit-
ish and American buyers. Local dealers
are experiencing considerable difficulty in
securing stock to supply the local market.
The first logs of the season are reported
at the Coulonge boom, near the juncture
with the Ottawa. The logs are part ofa
bunch of 100,000 cut for Davidson &
Thackery's new mill at Davidson station.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
April 22, 1903
COOPERAGE STOCK.
Writing of the cooperage stock market
the Sutherland, Innes Company, of Chat-
ham, Ont., say :
As far as Southern Michigan, Ohio,
Indiana and Ortario are concerned, the
heavy snow that came on top of the mud
before there was any frost in the ground
prevented lumbering this season, and what
jogs were taken out were only taken out
at great expense, and in very small quan-
tities. The stocks of last year’s manufac-
ture at the mills are practically nil, every-
thing having been cleaned out, except
a few No. 2 staves, and very few of them
are now left on hand.
We expect that staves and heading will
be high for some time to come. Hoops
we hardly expect will maintain present
prices, although they should keep pretty
near the present prices to make the manu-
ufacture of hoops a profitable business to
the mill men.
The future price of staves for the bal-
ance of the year, after the first of July,
will of course be governed by the season
that we have for trucking, and the pros-
pects for an apple crop. If thereis a good
season for trucking and no apple crop in
sight, staves will be easier towards the
latter part of the season. From the
ist of August or a little earlier, provided
there is an apple crop in sight, there will
be no decrease in the price of either staves
or heading, and while hoops may not de-
cline for some time, as soon as an apple
crop is assured, they will undoubtedly go
up again.
The question at the present time for the
mill men is how to get sufficient timber to

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
if assurance could be given that no
troubles would result from the demands
for increased wages which have been
made upon almost every branch of the
building’ trade, there would be removed
the greatest barrier to an expansion of
the lumber demand. Architects have in
hand buildings:
both large and small, the carrying out ©
which this season has been made condi-
tional upon an early settlement of labor
difficulties. Considering the present cost
of building, the conservatism which is be-
plans for numerous
ing shown is not surprising. Business in
lumber during the month of April showed
a gratifying improvement over that of the
previous month. Apart from the circum-
stances to which we'have referred, there
is scarcely a dark cloud on the lumber
horizon. In the Ottawa district prices are
strong and the demand keen. Mill culls
are selling readily, which is regarded as a
very favorable feature. In Western On-
tario there is an unprecedented demand
for hemlcck. Standard lengths, 16 feet
and under, are now retailing in Toronto
at $16. Thisis an increase of quite $2
since January last. This advance does
not represent increased profit to the dealer,
as the mill price of $10.50 quoted in Janu-
ary is now $12.50. Exceptionally long
lengths of hemlock have sold in Toronto
all the way from $17 to $20. Pine shingles
XXX are
selling in Toronto at from $3.30 to $3.35,
and XX from $2.40 to $2.45.
The hardwood situation is not likely to
become easier until June at the earliest.
Dealers are constantly in search of bass-

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,
Spruce lumber is stronger, probably in
sympathy with the better feeling in the
Eastern States. The majority of retail
dealers have made a slight advance on
all grades, while short lumber and clap-
boards are exceptionally firm.
Brunswick cedar shingles are in better
demand. For extras as much as. $3.60
is sometimes asked for Boston delivery,
while no popular brand is to be had for
less than $3.50. An advance of ten cents
all along the line is predicted. Laths are
somewhat irregular, although the ten-
dency is towards higher prices, as some
manufacturers are asking $3.40 for 1 5-8
inch on Boston rate.
New
Information concerning the log drives
is somewhat conflicting. From Mauger-
ville, N. B., comes the advice that the
logs cut on the back streams are hung up,
the snow all gone, and the river very low.
On the other hand, it is reported that at
Campbellton and other points north there
are three or four feet of snow in the
woods. The outlook for driving opera-
tions would seem to be fair, although the
drives are likely to be later than last year.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
The lumber situation in the West re-
mains unchanged, there being an active
demand at firm prices. The mills are op-
erating to theirutmost capacity, but are un-
able to meet the orders which specify early
shipment. Enquiries are largely confined
to building lumber, as throughout the en-
tire Northwest building operations are
The permits granted this
year in the city of Winnipeg exceed in
value those for the corresponding period
of last year by a million dollars.
A dispatch from Vancouver dated April
17th states that manufacturers have de-
cided to reduce the price of shingles for
Northwest delivery by ten cents. The
statement, however, cannot be confirmed
at time of going to press.
At a meeting of the Pacific Coast Lum-
ber Manufacturers’ Association held at

which several British Columbia mills were
represented, it was decided to make a
slight advance in the price of flooring, car
roofing and siding, the demand for which
has been larger than the mills have been
able to supply.

been buoyant. Buffalo dealers are asking

maple is wanted in excess of the supply,
while buyers are at all times in search of
basswood. Inquiries for maple flooring
are numerous.
GREAT BRITAIN.
Reports from the British market are a
repetition of what has been said for weeks
past. Prices still remain firm but the out-
look is uncertain. Importers refuse to enter-
tain shippers’ quotations, and there are at
present no signs that either side will yeild,
A lessened import this year will probably
be the result. In some quarters it is pre-
dicted that later on shippers will be com-
pelled to resort to free consignments and
a drop in prices may result.
In the Liverpool district there is a large
consumption of spruce deals of the ordinary
sizes required for building purposes. Prices
for ordinary specifications,say 60 per cent.
of 7 and 8 inch, are nominally £7 1osc.i.f.,
but for better specifications higher prices
have to be paid. In square and waney
timber there is a fair trade at prices named
last week.

The mills of the Ottawa district are get-
ting under way on the season’s cut, and
their work is cut out for them, to quote a
Mills that

popular expression. are not
Reports from the drives show that the
movement of the 1902-1903 cut of logs is a
slow one. The water is low on many
streams, and the ice still remains on others.
The spring so far has been a cold 9ne, and
rains are needed, along with a continuous
spell of bright weather, to put the streams
in high water.
Mail reports received from the Kippewa
district go to show that the log drives
have started on the Ostobonning, North
Kippewa and other streams that are free
from ice. Moreover, log-cutting operations
were in full swing as late as the 21st inst.
It is seldom in the one season that the d®ives
start so early and log cutting is continued
so late as to practically overlap. The
weather is accountable for the strange
combination of circumstances. Sun and
wind have cleared the ice from some of the
streams and lakes, while snow still lingers
in the woods. Thus sleighing is provided
and the operators enabled to cut logs in
the proximity of the open streams, haul
them and send them on their way the next
day.
{ The railway companies report a brisk
movement of lumber to New York, via the
Albany barge route, and to Montreal, the
shipments in both cases being for export.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
An almost complete suspension of work
in the building trade in Toronto, on ac-
count of labor troubles, has checked the
local consumption of lumber. Where a
few weeks ago dealers were being urged
to accept orders, many of them now re-
port, for the first time this spring, a slack-
ening in the home demand. The strikes
are likely to be settled at an early date,
but if the employers should find it neces-
sary to meet, even in part, the demands of
labor for increased wages, it is feared
that the cost of building will be so high
as to discourage the carrying out of pro-
posed undertakings. Many building pro-
jects are now in an embryo state awaiting
the outcome of the negotiations under way.
Throughout the province an average vol-
ume of building is in progress.
Fluctuations in lumber prices have been
slight. A comparison of the May lists
with those of April shows only minor
changes. Common pine, 6x6 in 14 and 16-
foot lengths,is held at_$17 at the mill, Ten
inch box and common is worth about $16,
and inch box and common shorts about
$13. Box manutacturers appear to be using
a larger quantity of spruce lumber than
formerly. The average price for spruce
on the Georgian Bay is about $15, al-
though as high as $19 is asked for lengths
of 24 and 26 feet in 2x6 to 12-inch.
There continues to be heavy buying of
hemlock lumber and dimension timber.
For lengths above 18 teet $13.50 at the
mill is asked.
Hardwoods are moving actively, ship-
ments to the Eastern States being quite
Jarge. Manufacturers’ prices for inch
mill-run elm and basswood are around
$20, and for birch $18. There is said to
have been disappointment with the quan-
tity of hardwood logs taken out during the
winter, which has given a still firmer tone
to the market.
Shingles and lath are steady. For
XXXX pine shingles $2.75 at the mill is
asked,
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Shipping of lumber from the port of
Montreal has been paralyzed by the long-
shoremen’s strike, which at time of writing
has assumed a somewhat serious aspect.
Vessels are completely tied up. Reports
from mill points are encouraging. Manu-
facturers are receiving numerous inquiries
for clapboards and other spruce lumber
for shipment tothe Eastern States. In
lath and shingles the firmer tone noted
last week has been retained. The demand
Extra cedar shin-
gles now range in price from $3.50 to
$3.60, clears are worth $3, and second
clears $2.40, on Boston freight rate.
continues to improve.
BRITISH COLUMBIA AND MANITOBA,
The lumber consumption throughout the
North-West this spring is exceptionally
large, the demand being chiefly for build-
ing material. At some points a scarcity is
reported, but it is believed that, as all the
mills are now in operation, the production
will shortly overtake the demand. Attract-
ed by the rumors of a lumber combine,
several American capitalists are turning
their attention to the Canadian North-
West, and will, it is reported, establish
yards at different points. It is improbable
that such action will result in reducing to
any extent the price of lumber, owing to
the high cost of production. Confirmation
has been received of the change in the
price of British Columbia shingles for de-
livery throughout Manitoba and the North-
West. The new list which went into effect
on April ist last has been canceled, and
the list of August 25th, 1902, is in effect.
Owing to the shortage of cars the shingle
manufacturers are considering the ques-
tf.
tion of closing down the mills for a time,
but it is hoped that such action will not be
found necessary.
UNITED STATES.
The lumber demand in the United
States during the past week has been of
average volume, although labor troubles
in the Eastern States are a disturbing
factor jin the situation. There has been
& falling off in the demand for dimension
timber, and until the uncertainty prevail-
ing in labor circles is removed bnyers will
be cautious about assuming large respon-
sibilities. Nevertheless lumber prices re-
main firm. At Buffalo and Tonawanda
box lumber and other coarse grades have
never been as scarce, resulting in an
advance of from 50 cents to $1 during the
past week. Some of the better grades
are also scarce, due in large measure to
a heavy export demand. The activity of
hemlock has not subsided. In some in-
stances an advance of 50 cents upon the
list price has been made. Hemlock piece
stuffis taking the place of Norway be-
cause of the difference in price. Very
little Michigan hemlock is finding its way
into the Eastern States, so that the Penn-
sylvania product has little competition.
The &pruce market continues firm, al-
though random lengths are slightly
easier at Boston.
There is as yet no indications of lower
prices for hardwood lumber. At Michigan
mils log run maple is held at $14, with
very little dry stock being oftered, log run
basswood at $20, and ash at $16. At
wholesale centres ‘n the Eastern States
log run basswood has sold as high as $30.
Poplar is in excellent demand, bringing
$52 in New York city. Maple flooring is
firm and it is believed that concerted
action on the part of manufacturers would
make it comparatively easy to advance
the prices to their former level.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The best that can be said of British
trade is that the market is steady. Prices
of lumber in stock have not strengthened
as much as the position would seem to
warrant, while contracts closed for new
stock do not compare favorably in volume
with the corresponding period of last year.
The demand from South Africa is growing,
but is not yet sufficient to measureably
affect the market. Considering the un-
certain outlook, it must be said that Cana-
dian lumber is exceptionally firm. Pine
deals are finding a ready market and
some of the favorite sizes are becoming
scarce. Spruce deals remain steady on
the basis of £7 10s c.i. f. London and
Liverpool for 60 per cent. of 7 and 8 inch.
A quantity of spruce deals shipped from
St. John was recently soldin Belfast at £8
per standard c. i. f. for deals and 10s per
standard less for narrow widths. Battens
are moving very freely, and public sales
haye shown a gradual advance in price.
Red pine has recently become active in
the British market. It is being used more
extensively for house-building purposes,
and on account of its cheapness takes the
place of Nocrth of Europe timber. At late
public sales 3 x 10 red pine deals brought
£16 158 per standard, and 3x9 as high
as £17 53.

Spruce lath are selling in the Georgian}
Bay district at $2.50 for No. 1, $2 for No.
2, and $2.25 for mill run, No. 1, 32 inches
in length, is worth $1.15 at the mill. No.
1 hemlock lath is held at $2.50 and No. 2
at $2.
During the week ending April 25th last,
there were shipped from St. John, N. B.,
to the United States 1,220,000 feet of long
lumber, 610,000 shingles and 50,000 lath.
A cargo of 608,272 feet of long lumber
cleared for Buenos Ayres and several
steamers for the British ports.
Owing to the scarcity of elm and bass-
wood, slack cooperage stock is slightly
higher. At Buffalo first-class dry elm
flour barrel staves are held at $9.25 to
$9.50; basswood heading, 64% to 6%
cents; coiled hoops, $10 to $10.25 for 6
foot and $9.50 to $9.75 for 5% foot ; hick-
ory hoops, $6.50 to $6.75.
Bank logs, by which is meant logs taken
out in small lots by farmers and made up
into rafts, are now arriving at Springhill,
a few miles above Fredericton, N. B.
They bring $11 per thousand feet for good
spruce and $4.75 for hemlock. With such
prices for the logs, the price of lumber can-
not be otherwise but high,

ceived his first consignment of logs from

reach Lindsay. About 800,000 feet of
logs and 4,000 ties are at Rosedale and

NEW BRUNSWICK LOG DRIVES.
The outlook for log drives on the upper
St. John river and tributaries has improv-
ed during the last few days. The river
‘rose fully four feet last week and is now
higher than at any time this spring. There
is still plenty of snow in the woods and
another week with the river at its present
driving pitch will see about all the logs on
the move.
Already between 5,000,000 to 8,000,000
feet of logs have run into the booms at
Douglas and Sugar Island. They came
principally from the Tobique, Allegash
and Grand Rivers and belong to Hilyard
Bros., Estey, Cunliffe Bros., Sweeney,
and Fraser & Son.

R. A. Estey, of Fredericton, has been
advised that his Tobique drives, amount-
ing to about 4,000,000 feet, are in safe
water and his Rockway drive is coming
along well. It is believed that all the To-
bique drives will be out next week.

An Adirondack spruce firm has just
closed a contract with the General Elec-
tric Company, of Schenectady, to supply
them with about 9,000,000 feet of spruce,
to be shipped to them during the year,
and to be used for boxes.
In an interview given recently Mr. J. A.
Humbird, of St. Paul, who is interested in
the Victoria Lumber Company of Chem-
ainus, B. C., said: ‘‘There is a large
amount of lumber being sold at the present
time. The worst feature about the lumber
and shingle business on the coast is the
car shortage. The trouble is that the
westbound shipments are not great enough
to keep the number of cars required here.
You can’t expect railroad companies to
haul empty cars to the coast for the pur-
pose of hauling lumber eastward.”

SHIPPING MATTERS.
A dispatch from Seattle, Wash., dated
April 22nd, says :—*‘ Secretary Victor H.
Beckman, of the Shingle Association, has
received a letter from the Treasury De-
partment asking for information regarding
an order recently issued by the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific Rail-
ways and three days ago supplemented
by an order from the Wisconsin Central,
refusing to furnish any more cars for
shingle shipments east of Chicago. The
contention of the lines is that they now
have upwards of 14,000 cars on foreign
lines in the east, which they are unable to
get back. The effect of this order will be
to kill the Washington shingle market in
the eastern states, amounting to about
5,000 cars annually, and in the faee of
present conditions, including the largest
surplus stock on record in the hands of
the coast mills and little demand in the
central west, the situation is alarming to
the trade.’

Opinion is somewhat divided as to the
future course of the lumber market. There
is at the present time a fair demand from
all sources, but the consumption by build-

percentage of the lumber production has
already passed out of first hands and is to
be exported, so that manufacturers will
not feel a decline in the local consumption
very keenly. A favorable feature is
the large consumption of lumber by fur-
niture and implement factories and other
manufacturing industries. The fire in
Ottawa must also be reckoned with
asa market factor, tending as it doubt-
less will to keep prices firm. Approx-
imately fourteen million feet has there-
by been taken out of the market, while
no small quantity will be required for
the reconstruction of buildings in the
burned district.
Prices are little changed from last
Box lumber is showing strength
on account of the heavy demand. Shingles
and lath are firm. Some dealers are said
to be shading the price of British Colum-
bia shingles, but it cannot be said that
prices are quotably lower.

week.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
A settlement having been reached in the
dock laborers’ strike at Montreal, the ship-
ment of lumber will again resume normal
conditions at an early date. From the
manufacturer's standpoint the outlook for
lumber in Quebec and the Maritime Prov-
inces is good, and prices are not likely to
slump this season. Clapboards have made
a sharp advance, prices now being $46 for
extra quality and $44 for clear, on Boston
rate of freight. It is probable that the
higher prices will stimulate production,
therefore it is unreasonable to expect that
these abnormal prices will hold throughout
the season. The highest prices on record
have been obtained for spruce logs, a small
quantity having recently changed hands
at Springhill, N. B., at $13. This figure,
however, is considered to be about $2
above the average market price. Cedar
shingles are commanding the higher prices
named last week. The demand has im-
»
proved, and enquiry has proven that the
available supply is not large.
UNITED STATES.
The manufacturers of yellow pine lum-
ber have decided to advance prices on
several descriptions of inch boards, and the
Wisconsin Valley Lumbermen’s Associa-
tion is expected to take similar action in
respect to dimension timber. It will thus
be seen that the predicted decline in prices
upon the resumption of work by the mills is
not likely to take place. The strength of
the market,in the face of a demand restrict-
ed by labor troubles, is remarkable. The
East is receiving a considerable quantity
of lumber from the upper lakes, and deal-
ers are now ina better position to supply
the demand. So far the strikes have not
been as serious as anticipated,
although in New York the lumbermen
have closed their yards rather than accede
to the demands of the teamsters. Build™
ing there is practically at a stand-still.
was
Philadelphia is suffering from a similar
cause, but in the most
serious difficulties have been adjusted.
Cargo prices of pine for Chicago de-
livery are firmer, short dry piece stuff be-
ing quoted at $17, which is the record
price. Business from retail yards has been
other cities
comparatively light, but it is gradually in-
creasing and the outlook is brighter. The
position of spruce stocks is such as to
warrant higher prices. Manufacturers,
however, are adopting a conservative pol-
icy and it is not likely that quotations will
be materially higher this season. Hemlock
sells well, the base price in Buffalo being
$15.50. Practically no Michigan hemlock
is being shipped to the Eastern States.
The course of maple flooring prices is
being watched with much interest. A
short time ago cutting of prices was gen-
eral, but thesituation is now much strenger.
A slight improvement in the movement of
hardwoods from producing points to the
markets is noted. Michigan maple has
been received in considerable quantities at
Buffalo and Tonawanda. Efforts are being
made to increase the supply of basswood,
but it seems that the early cut is under
contract and consequently out of the mar_
ket so far as the wholesale buyer is con-
cerned. Plain oak is slightly higher.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The strained relations between shippers
and importers are now confined largely to
European lumber. Many British buyers
have accepted the quotations of shippers
of Canadian pine and spruce deals and
have closed contracts for a considerable
quantity. The stock of pine deals and
boards of first and second quality has be-
come greatly reduced and prices for lum-

have raised their offers in many instances,
which accounts for a better feeling and
increased business. At recent sales
Canadian pine deals realized very satis-
factory prices. Red pine is steadily grow-
ing in favor. In price it corresponds with
Swedish fifth quality deals, while it is
generally considered to be a superior
class of lumber. Spruce deals are ata
higher level. All classes of square and
waney timber are steady. Oak leads in
the yards are somewhat
point of strength, while ash is relatively
weak.

A report from Buffalo says: All prices
are firm and it will take more of a disturb-
ance than is expected to upset them.
Receipts by lake have added to the already
fair amount in yard, but it is expected that
after the first lot of a cargo or two there
will bea falling off. Reports from the
saw mills do not give any promise of
easing in prices, but there will be much
objection to paying any more than form-
erly. Much of the lumber that is coming
in was bought last fall, but the difficulty is
it is mostly sold at prices that are just
about on a par with the present asking
prices at the mills. So there must be a
readjustment before the mills and the
eastern middleman shall understand each
other.
Under date of April 25th, Messrs. Clair-
monte, Man & Company, of Barbadoes,
say: ‘During our reaping season, now
going on, there is always a good demand
for lumber. Last sales for local use were
as follows: White pine, $26.21 for first
quality and $21 for second quality; spruce,
$20.30 for first and $17.30 for second
quality. Two cargoes contracted for some
time ago have arrived; prices have since
declined, and we cannot now quote white
pine at over $24.50 to $25, and spruce $18
to $18.50. There has been no arrival of
Gaspe Long Cedar shingles since October.
Last sales were made at $4.89 to $5.04
per thousand. Cedar Laying shingles are
worth from $2 to $2.20, aad Spruce Lay-
ing $3.60 to $1.65. We sold a cargo of
Cypress sawn saps at $3.80 for 6-inch,
$3.50 for 5-inch, and $3.20 for 4-inch.
There is some enquiry tor ‘“‘hearts” split’.

THE GLASGOW MARKET.
Messrs. Edmiston & Mitchells, in their
monthly timber circular of April goth,
review the Glasgow market as follows:
Business during the past month has
been on the whole rather quieter than we
have been recently accustomed to, but
this is by no means unusual on the eve of
the opening of the Quebec summer trade,
the first arrivals of which are due here in
a week or two. Prices have been well
maintained, and there is no special weak-
ness discernible in this direction so far as ~
can be judged. Apart from pitch pine
and spruce, stocks all over are very mod-
erate, and particularly so in the case of
first quality Canadian pine deals and sid-
ings, prices for which continue t» be as
firm as ever, with the tendency still up-
wards. A fair amount of business has
been done in teak, most of the recent ar-
rivals having been disposed of from ships’
side at prices which continue to show a
very firm tone. In American hardwoods
there has been considerable activity, with
the exception, perhaps, of wide poplar
lumber, which has been imported too
freely of late.
The Clyde shipbuilding returns for
March show that the output for the month
represents 16 vessels of about 32,000 tons,
compared with 16 vessels of 33,500 tons

fear of trouble with the engineers, and it
would be most unfortunate if they are so
badly advised as to come out on strike at
this time in view of the dull prospects of
this industry.
Housebuilding is still fairly brisk in the
city and neighborhood, but there are
evidences of quieter times ahead.
WHITE OR YELLOW PINE.—The import
during the month consists of about 100
loads via St. John. The demand has been
quiet in waney boardwood, but there has
been more movement in square pine.
Some 400 to 500 loads have been sold at
round about 2s. tod. per cubic foot.
Stocks are moderate and prices are firm.
RED PINE.—There is nothing new to
report. The present small stock is being
gradually exhausted, with no prospect of
further imports.
Oak.—The import consists of about 150
loads Southern States wood. There have
been few enquiries, and the consumption
has been small during the month. Stocks
are still heavy.
EL_M.—There has been the usual steady
demand for rst. class rock, and the stock
of this class is now small, with prices firm.
Second class is moving off slowly, and the
stock is still heavy.
BIRCH. -— Quebec. — There have been
two arrivals this month, consisting of
about 150 loads (chiefly 15 and 17-inch
average), which were disposed of from the
ships’ side. Value of 15-inch is about rod.
and 17-inch 23d., but prices are inclined to
be easier as there are considerable quanti-
ties offering for early delivery. Lower

loads St. John timber, which was disposed

Drats, Erc. — Business during the
month has been quiet, though deliveries
from the public yards are well up to the

import has been small and has gone direct
into consumption ‘ex quay”. Spruce

LUMBEK BURNED.
By the disastrous fire which occurred
in Ottawa on Sunday last, about 14,000,000
feet of lumber was destroyed. It was
owned by J. R. Booth. The loss in round
numbers will be $200,000, but the insurance
is said to cover between 65 and 75 per
cent. of the amount. None of the lumber
was of high quality, the average price
being about $14 per thousand feet.

THE SASH AND DOOR DEMAND.
There is not as much activity in the
sash and door trade as was anticipated
one monthago. Theerection of several
proposed buildings of importance in Tor-
onto has been postponed on account of
the tenders exceeding the estimate of cost.
The situation in the United States is simi-
lar, and is set forth by the American Lum-
berman as follows:
Strikes and labor unrest have had a
quieting effect upon general business con-
ditions in practically all trade centers and
the door industry has not failed to share
in this reduced volume of business. Whole-
salers are not complaining seriously, how-
ever, as they are doing a fair business as
a rule and in some instances are even ac-
tive. Whatever dissappointment may ex-
ist is mainly on account of the late spring,
which delayed the starting in of the usual
spring trade, and the volume has not
reached expectations. The strikes in var-
ious lines of business and many of them
affecting the lumber trade directly, are
not conducive to heavy building opera-
tions in the cities and the high prices os
material and labor aso have had a de-
pressing effect upon the building industry
in general.
Prices are being maintained in good
shape, very few deviations from the gen-
erally accepted list being found. Trade
has improved to some extent since the
sending out of the advanced price on No.
1 and No. 2 doors, and there is some talk
that before very long another discount
card will be sent out, possibly carrying
also a slight advance.
the trade seems to be in favor of the issu-
ance of price lists frequently in order to
stimulate interest in the market; and
while the tendency of the market is now
firmer it must be remembered that last fall
prices were materially lowered and that
the recent advance that has been made is
only a partial recovery toward the former
quotations.
The sentiment of
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION 11.
Dullness is the prevailing keynote of the
situation in the New York city market
and there is talk of occasional cutting of
prices in order to secure desirable orders,
though such instances are declared to be
few and far between. The factories are
keeping busy, but they are accumulating
a stock of manufactured goods that may
take some time to work off.
The Northwestern Cedarmen’s Associa-
tion, at a meeting held at Escanaba,
Michigan, on May 5th, made an advance
ranging from % to 1 cent per foot in the
price of cedar posts.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The building outlook in Toronto is so
uncertain that it is almost futile to en-
deavor to forecast the future of the lum-
ber market. There is the usual steady
demand from manufacturing industries,
but the building requirement is gradually
falling off on account of the postponement
of projected work. It is estimated that
buildings representing a value of $2,000,-
ooo are being delayed by. labor troubles.
Visits to the offices of lumber dealers
indicate that there is less confidence in
the maintainence of present prices than,
perhaps, at any previous time this year.
It seems to be the almost
opinion that lumber prices in general have
reached the top notch for this season. It
is not anticipated, however, that there
will be any marked decline, as much of
the season’s production of both pine and
hardwoods has already been sold for
export.

Several orders have recently been placed
for 12-inch pine boards. The wide sizes
are becoming scarcer each year, and a
gradual adyance in price would seem to
be in order. There is an improved de-
mand for red pine, several manufacturers
reporting sales at very satisfactory prices.
In the Ottawa valley there has been an
advance in the frice of shingles, ranging
from 15 to 25 cents. The supply is light
and the feeling somewhat confident that
high prices for shingles will prevail
throughout the season. Clear butts in 16-
inch cedar range from $1.60 to $1.90,
and XXXX from $2.25 to $2.50.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The lumber trade of Montreal are antici-
pating an average consumption of lumber
for the balance of the season, as labor dif-
ficulties in most branches of industry have
been satisfactorily adjusted. The settle-
ment of the longshoremen’s strike has been
followed by unusual activity in shipping
circles, several steamers having sailed
from Montreal with lumber cargoes. Prices
of spruce lumber remain stationary,
although some manufacturers are said to)
be making a slight cut in the price of clap-
boards, which tor some time have been !
selling at abnormal figures. The higher’)
prices ruling for square and wany pine)
timber promise to be maintained through- ?
out the season. l
Reports concerning log drives in New ©
Brunswick and Nova Scotia are of a favor- 2
able character. Judging from present ap- >
pearances the mills will have a full stock
of logs for the season. In the northern 1
part of New Brunswick there is still some i
snow in the woods. |
UNITED STATES. r
Building operations in the city of New ~-
York are completely tied up on account of
the New York Lumber Trade Association
and the Building Material Dealers’ Asso-
ciation stopping the delivery of supplies to
prevent the unionizing of their yards. The
Jabor situation in that city is somewhat
serious, about 50,000 men being on strike,
and it is feared that if a settlement is not
reached at an early date the lumber busi-
ness of the Eastern States may suffer |
throughout the entire season. A strike of
carpenters in Philadelphia has curtailed
the consumption of lumber in that city.
Where no labor troubles exist, building

isfactory, particularly when it is remem-
bered that the supply of dry lumber is
very small. Buying by box concerns con-
tinues to be the feature of the market.
Although business all spring has been good,
box manufacturers state that there is a
steady increase in the number of orders.
Chicago reports a falling off in the local
demand for lumber, but no decline in
price. A cargo of short and narrow pine
piece stuff was recently sold at $16.50.
Manufacturing industries are heavy buy-
ers of hardwood lumber at the present
time. This class of lumber has not so far
shown any signs of the effect of the var-
ious strikes. Maple flooring is moving
more actively at higher prices. Quarter-
ed oak sells in the Boston market at from
$73 to $85, and plain oak from $45 to $50,
with white ash about $1 higher. Both
thick ash and maple are scarce in the
Eastern States.
GREAT BRITAIN.
There seems to have been a slight turn
for the better in the British lumber market.
Orders are being placed more liberally,

Messrs. Churchill & Sim, London, Eng.,

record prices for anything really good,

these prices is very hard to obtain for the

this condition. For spruce the London

The market is strong and stock scarce.
Shipments for the past week have been
interfered with to a considerable extent by
the labor troubles in New York city. The
struggle between capital and organized
labor has reached a stage where building
operations in Greater New York are ata
stand-still. Local lumber shippers have
been advised to withhold for the present
lumber intended for New York, as it is
found impossible in that city to unload and
place the lumber. Until building opera-
tions are resumed there will be a dullness
in the forward movement of lumber from
Ottawa.
The lumber destroyed in Sunday's fire
in the J. R. Booth’s yard in the west end
of the city consisted principally of shorts
and box stuff, aggregating in all about
From the nature of
the lumber destroyed it can be seen that
there will be no bole in the stock of high
grade stuff, although the impression has
got abroad that the fire in diminishing an
an already inadequate supply, would ad-
vance prices. The mere fact that the lum.
ber was all sold and awaiting shipment
would tend to prove the fallacy of this re-
port of a probable advance in price. The
insurance experts place Mr. Booth’s Joss
at $220,000, on which there is $160,000
insurance, leaving a loss of $60,000.
The papers throughout the Province
have come to the assistance of Ottawa
with the advice that the lumber piles be
moved to the country. The Council has
taken the matter up, and in view of the
fact that this is the second time the city
has suffered within a comparatively short
time it is likely that the piles, or at least
the greater part of them, will go. Mr.
Booth has threatened to remove his mill
from the city if he is compelled to seck
piling grounds outside its limits.
While the lumber piles were the primary
cause of Sunday's fire, it must be borne in
mind that the complete collapse of the
waterworks system for forty minutes per-
mitted the fire to gain a headway it would
not have otherwise secured.
The camp supply number of THE Lum-
BERMAN excited favorable comment from
the Ottawa district subscribers. The let-
ter press and illustrations were both voted
creditable in a high degree to the publisher
and editorial staft.
The McGillivray Company of Ottawa
has purchased the King mill at Parry
Sound, with a daily output of 30,000 feet.
Reports from the Georgian Bay district
show that the saws are dcing their level

Reports as to the progress of the drives
From the Kippewa and
Temiscaming districts come reports of
rains which will gladden the hearts of the
Jumber operators and incidentally help the
drives along. It is rumored, however,that
McLachlan Bros.’ drive from the Petawa-
wa limit recently purchased by that firm,
has been ‘thung up.” This report cannot
be confirmed. If true it would meana
serious set-back, as the logs were intended
for this season's cutting. On the Coulonge
and Gatineau the logs also seem to be
moving freely enough.
The supply of manufactured lumber in
the Georgian Bay district is small and
steadily decreasing. Even before the
mills had entered on the cutting of the
present season's lumber the boats were
loading for Bay City and other points with
the stock standing from last season. A
new $12,000 dock is being built at Blind
River by the Dominion Government.
When completed this will greatly facilitate
the movement of lumber.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
From a provincial standpoint there is no
apparent decrease in the demand for lum-
ber. Manufacturing industries, which are
operating to their full capacity, have been
heavy buyers of Jate. Many dealers have
recently visited the pine producing dis-
tricts in search of desirable box grades
which could be purchased at reasonable
figures. Manufacturers are disposed to
ask a slight advance on this class of lum-
ber ifin shipping condition. In Toronto
the retail yards are doing some business,
although not as much as was anticipated
earlier in the year. This is due to the tie-
up of building operations. Had it not
been for labor troubles assuming more
prominence than usual this year, it is quite
probable that a record building season
would have been experienced. As it is,
the demand for lamber has been sufficient
to maintain prices, as in very fewinstances
any inducement been offered the
buyer. The uniformity of lists which has
prevailed throughout the season is an in-
dication that the trade regard present
prices as warranted by the cost of pro-
duction.
A number of the Georgian Bay mills
have been closed down temporarily of late
on account of a shortage of logs, the
drives having been delayed by head
has
winds.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH CO],UMBIA.
The demand for lumber for building
purposes is keeping both manufacturers
and dealers very busy. In Winnipeg the
volume of building is unusually large, and
as many structures commenced early in
the spring are now nearing completion,
there is a corresponding increase in the
call for finishing lumber. Prices aresteady.
British Columbia mills are making Jarge
shipments to the east. The lumber trade
of that province are considerably exercised
over an announcement made by the Pro-
vincial Government to the effect that near-
ly all the timber lands on Vancouver
Island and the coast, not already taken up,
had been reserved for two years for the
Island Power Company, a new pulp con-
cern. An order-in-council prevents any
more special licenses being taken out.
UNITED STATES.
Notwithstanding the labor troubles, a
record of building permits for twenty-one
leading cities of the United States shows
an increase of 5 per cent. for the month
of April ove: the corresponding month of
last year. This volume of building is re-
flected ina steady demand for lumber,
although in New York city, where the
number of workmen on strike has increas-
ed, trade is practically at a standstill.
No change in prices has occurred. Box
lumber is in exceptionally strong enquiry,
with a few dealers asking an advance in
price. A report comes to hand that the
Mississippi Valley Lumbermen’s Associa-
tion have reaffirmed the price list adopted
on January rst, which will be reissued as

the supply at prevailing prices. Large
sales of shingles and lath have recently
been made in the Lake Superior district.
Saginaw dealers are doing a steady trade
and are still buying some lumber at pro-
ducing points. The Chicago market is
quiet on account of fewer orders from
local dealers. Prices of piece stuff for
country delivery have been advanced to
$17.50 for 2x4 and 2x6 in 12 and 14-foot
lengths. Twelve inch No. 1 common
boards are quoted at $27 for 10 and 12
foot and $26 for 14 and 16 foot. No. 2
12-inch boards are worth $24 and $23 for
the lengths named. No. 3 boards are
held at $18 for all lengths below 18-feet.

The tone of the hemlock market is es-

first-class pine from Montreal recently
sold at £32 10s per standard for r1-inch,
and at £24 5s for g-inch. On the whole
the prices realized at recent public sales
have shown an improvement, importers
not being disposed to sacrifice their pre-
sent holdings in the face of the exceeding-
ly high prices asked for new stock. As it
is probable that the import of lumber will
be moderate, there is no reason to antici-
pate an over-supply. Spruce deals re-
main firm and are going steadily into con-
sumption. Shippers show no signs of
reducing their asking figures, and it is
admitted on all sides that the present level
of prices is likely to be maintained. <A

THE NEW BRUNSWICK LOG DRIVES.
Advices from New Brunswick are that
about 30,000,000 feet of logs on the St.
John river are in serious danger of being
hung up. The water is falling quite rapid-
ly and only a heavy fall of rain can pre-
vent a tie-up. In such an event many of
the St. John mills will be affected, includ-
ing those of Dunn Bros., Stetson, Cutler
& Company, A. Cushing & Company and
Murray & Gregory.
On the Aroostook river the water is
low, and it is thouysht that Robert Aiken
will be compelled to abandon a portion of

river, with about even chances of getting
his logs out. The drives on the Big Black
river for W. H. Murray, john A. Morri-
son, and James Murchie & Sons are com-
ing along well.
On the Miramichi river the drives have
been very successful and are now largely
in safe waters.

Despite the unsettled condition of labor
and its consequent effect upon building

points of view, is all that could be desired.

the Ottawa valley and Georgian Bay dis-
tricts are to the effect that many mills have
sold their entire season’s cut. Hemlock is
moving actively, and notwithstanding the
advance that has taken place in the price
of this lumber, it is predicted that it will
resch a higher figure befor the close of the
year. Thick stock, say two inches up, is
much inquired for.
All lines of hardwood

Competition among buyers has been so
lumber are in
keen of late that a large percentage of the
contemplated output has already been con-
tracted for at prices ranging from $2 to $4
higher than Jast year. There is every
reason to believe that the hardwood mar-
ket will hold its own for the balance of the
season, and there can be little risk in buy-
ing at present quotations.
Revised prices for cedar shingles at
Ottawa are $3.30 to $3.50 for XXXX in 18
inch, $2.50 to $2.75 for clear butts, and
$1.65 to $2 for XX.
The labor situation in Toronto and one
or two other points is suchas to cause
some apprehension regarding the extent
to which the lumber business will be
affected thereby. The past month wit-

UNITED STATES.
A careful scrutiny of the various lumber
markets of the United States leads one to
the conclusion that the volume of trade
has declined during the past two weeks.
This is probably due largely to the unset-
tled conditions prevailing in the building
trades in New York and some other eastern
There seems to be reason to

Basswood is getting more plenti-

The
supply of logs in Pennsylvania and Michi-
gan is very light, so that there will be no
difficulty in marketing stock even if the
consumption should fall off. It is difficult
to size up the shingle situation. A report
_ from the Sagniaw valley states that prices
are weaker than they were in the early
spring and that stocks are accumulating
at the mills.
Hemlock prices remain steady.
GREAT BRITAIN,
The consumption of lumber in Great
Britain during the month of May was not
as active as in the corresponding month
of last year. It is believed, however, that
the decrease in consumption will be offset
by reduced imports. The outlook for ship-
building has improved of late, while the
unsatisfactory condition of house-build-
ing continues.

Importers are still waiting
Offers are being made
about five shillings per standard less than
the quotations asked by shippers, but the
Jatter have so far refused to close con-
tracts on that basis. The stocks of pine
at Liverpool are considerably lower than
at this time last year, a fact which carries
considerable weight. First and second
quality are very scarce and high prices are
being paid for standard dimensions.
There has been no change in spruce prices.
Opinions are freely expressed that the
fluctuations in values during the season
will be very slight. For 3 x 9 second and
third quality spruce shippers are asking
£9 15s and £o 5s respectively, while as
high as £9 5s has been asked for third
quality.

{THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
Shipments of lumber from Ottawa to
Montreal and New York by water at
paesent are active, more so perhaps than
by rail. The resumption of coal carrying
operations by water this season has
already brought a dozen or more roomy
American barges into port. The owners
of these are only too anxious to secure a
return cargo to the States and lumber 1s
handled at a very reasonable rate. While
the trip by water to New York takes
several weeks, the difference in rates is
worth considering where time is not a
factor.
It is reported that a large block of 12-
inch stock has been purchased by the
Sbepard & Morse Company from Mr.
J. R. Booth. The lumber is intended fot
the South American markets. While the
exact prices could not be ascertained, it is
learned that they were good and stiff, and
showed an advance on last season.

to an easier and more elastic grading and
a more intelligent effort to produce the

as shipping culls are now classified by
some manufacturers as mill run.

For this reason quotations will hereafter be
made on eighteen-inch cedar shingles and
not sixteen-inch as heretofore. For the
benefit of those who may be interested in
the latter, it may be said that the quota-
tions which upon general inquiry seem to
be correct on sixteen-inch shingles are:
XXXX $2.80 to $3.00; clear butt $1.75 to
$2.00; and XX $1.25 to $1.35. On the
other hand eighteen-inch stock runs as
follows: XXXX $3.30 to $3.50, clear butt
$2.50 to $2.75, and XX $1.55 to $2.00.
Efforts to secure reliable hardwood quot-
ations about Ottawa meet with scant re-
ward, for the reason, given by the dealers,
that there is a lack of anything like the
uniform cassification that holds in other
lines of lumber. All depends on the manu-

The latest reports speak of heavy rains

This will gladden the hearts of the mil]
men, as it will facilitate the movement of
the log drives. The latter seem to be
coming along nicely, and the first logs of
the 1093 cut may be expected at the mills
within a month.
Mr. J. F. Birchard, of Detroit, Mich.,
formerly travelling representative of the
CANADA LUMBERMAN, now with the Wing
Graphite Metal people of Detroit, was in
the city this week. He reported marked
activity in the lumber industry of the
Maritime Provinces, Quebec and Ottawa
district. A number of mills east of Ottawa
are being overhauled and in other places
new ones built. Stocks of standing lumber
are light and the season's sawing will be
a heavy one, as orders are numerous.
Mr. J. R. Booth has bought a farm near
the city, which it is believed he intends to
use for pilling grounds. Hon. W. C.

hand, his inability to secure other piling
grounds near the city, and says he will

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
Opinion concering the lumber outlook is
more divided than it has been for some
time. The prolonged strikes have greatly
restricted building operations and unsettled
business in general to some extent. Lo-
cal dealers are not altogether satisfied
with the volume of trade, claiming that
orders have fallen off for both local con-
sumption and for export to the Eastern
States. An evidence that the market is
well in hand, however, is found in the fact
that prices have not weakened. This can no
doubt be attributed to the large propor-
tion of the season's cut that was contract-
ed for early in the season. Mill men are
in the fortunate position of being protect-
ed in large measure from declining prices
by means of early contrac‘s. Hardwood
lumber is equally as firm as pine, and by
many it is reported that the buying of it
is of a better character. Hemlock remains
steady. There is a heavy demand for inch
stock, which is selling in sume cases fully
one dollar higher than 2-inch. Most of the
mills are asking about $12 for 10 and 12
inch boards up to 16 feet in length.
Shingles and lath are practically un-
changed in price. The demand for hem-
lock lath is growing. Mill prices are $2.50
for No.1 and $2 for No.2.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Prospects in lumber circles ir the east-
ern provinces are rather discouraging.
The recent drought has been the cause of
several forest fires which have destroyed
both timber and mills, while the water in
the rivers isso low thac many logs are
likely to be hung up. For this reason the
supply of lumber will be greatly reduced
and probably inadequete to meet the de-
mand. Scarcity of logs has already re-
sulted in the closing down, temporarily, of
several large mills at St. John. Higher
prices for timber, therefore, may be anti-
cipated. Many manufacturers have placed
their entire cut under contract, and are
now compelled to refuse orders. Inquiries
for both lumber and shiugles are increas-
ing in number. No change is reported in
the price of New Brunswick cedar shingles,
although the manufacturers who practi-
cally control the market are said to be in
favor of making an advance.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
Building activity in Winnipeg shows no
abatement, and throughout the entire
North-West there is a good demand for
lumber. Importations from the United
States are increasing. This is having a
slight effect upon prices, especially of
shingles. The British Columbia Shingle
Manufacturers’ Association have decided
to curtail the output by closing down the
night shift at all the mills, and it is said
that some of the mills will voluntarily close
down entirely until the present supply is
reduced. Orders for British Columbia
lumber continue in fair volume and large
shipments are being made to the east.
UNITED STATES.
Floods throughout the South-Western
States have resulted in much damage to
property and blighted lumber prospects.
In the:east the labor situation has not im-

proved materially, although rumors have
been current for some time that an early
settlement of the New York building
trades strike would be brought about.
The lumber market is quiet, principally
due to the conditions named above. One
or two grades are said to be slightly
weaker in price, but firmness characterizes
the general There has been
heavy buying of boxlumber. Inthe Lake
Superior district No. 4 and 5 boards are
selling readily at $11.25 and $6 to $6.25
per thousand, with the demand in excess
of the supply. Norway lumber is in the
same position. It is claimed that the sup-
ply will not be sufficient to meet the re-
Hemlock continues to show
unusual strength. At Buffalo it is selling
at $16 to $18, and in New Jersey State
the price has been advanced to $17 to

quirements.
cumulating to any extent. It
that there will be a very small supply with
which to meet the fall and winter demand.
Shingle prices have been unsettled by
the continued weakness of red cedars.
These are selling thirty cents lower than
at the corresponding time last year. It is
unreasonable to expect that other grades
will more than hold their own so long as
red cedar prices continue demoralized.
GREAT BRITAIN.
An improved tone is manifest in the
British timber market. The consumption
is about equal to that of last year, and if
the import should be light, as is now pre-
dicted, a further improvement would seem
to be in order. The strike in the ship-
building trade at Belfast has been averted
for the present. Importers are adding to
their stocks whenever they can obtain
even aslight concession in price, and a
few are even acceding to the demands of
shippers. The latter are not likely, in
view of the lessened production, to reduce
their asking prices. The first cargoes of
Canadian pine deals have arrived at Liver-
pool and London, largely om contract.
There has been no change in the position
of spruce deals. The report from Belfast
that prices are somewhat lower is not con-
firmed by information from other points.
Elm timber is showing strength. A quan-
tity from Quebec, 28 to 39 feet in length
and from 12 to 21 inches in diameter,
recently brought £5 15s per load of 50
cubic feet. Ash timber, on
hand, is very dull and almost a drug on
the market, the price obtained at recent
public sales being 65s per load.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
The tug ‘‘Pilot” has been chartered to
tow to Vancouver, B.C., 10,000,000 feet

THE BOSTON MARKET.
The situation in spruce lumber is still
further complicated by the forest fires
that are raging throughout the lumber
regions of Maine and New Hampshire.
Advices from Maine say that many
mills are shut down. Some have been
burned, while others have been obliged
to send their men into the woods to
fight fires. This, taken in connection
with the delay to the drives on account
of low water, tends to keep down the
supply of lumber and in large measure
counteracts the dull demand resulting
from the strikes. Prices at Boston, there-

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
Lumber salesmen returning from busi-
ness trips have as a rule no complaint to
make regarding the conidition of trade.
While in Toronto business is quiet, the
result of labor troubles, outside dealers
are buying very liberally, the spring con-
sumption having reduced their stocks to
the point where replenishment is necessary.
Buffalo dealers have been quite heavy
buyers of box lumber of late. Twelve-inch
dressing is also in demand for that market.
Inquiries, however, are by no means con-
finded to these grades, but pretty wel)
cover the entire list. Sales of 6/4 No.2 cuts
have been made recently at $44 at the mill.
Hemlock shows more strength than any
other lumber, One dealer in a large way
stated to the writer that he did not think
he could fill an order for 150,000 feet of dry
hemlock, so reduced bad his stock become.
This is not an exceptional case. Dry hem-
lock is practically out of the market and
very little of the new cut will be in ship-
ping condition for some time yet. In the
meantime those fortunate enough to have
any dry hemlock for sale can fix their own
selling price.
The cheaper kinds
Shingles are barely steady.
are finding favor
in the country districts.
Ascarcity of cooperage stock, especially
staves and heading, is very generally
reported. It is almost impossible to buy
No. 1 staves at any price, as is evidenced
by the fact that a quantity of No. 1 30-inch
elin staves is said to have been sold in
New York recently at $11.
QUEBEC.-AND NEW BRUNSWICK,
The prolonged strike of employees of
the sash and door manufacturers has some-
what unsettled the lumber trade in Mon-
treal, but it is expected that the mills will
be running as usual very shortly. The de-
mand for building lumber is fairly good,
while clapboards continue to be eagerly
inquired for for shipment to the Eastern
States. Anxiety over the New Brunswick
log supply is quite intense. Although recent
rains have relieved the situation some-
what, there is still great danger of a
large quantity of logs being hung up. It is
estimated that of the total cut of 110,000,-
ooo feet on the St. John River, not more
than one-haif will reach the mills unless
the water in the river should rise rapidly
during the next few weeks. One operator
on the -Restigouche river has
abandoned his drive of 8,000,000
presenting the operations of two seasons.
Present indications, therefore, point toa
shortage in the spruce supply, with the
inevitable result of higher prices. With
the settlement of the labor disturbances in
New York a heavy demand is expected
from that quarter. Cedar shingles are
firmly established at the base price of $3.50
for extras, Boston delivery.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
There is sufficient business to keep all

has become overstocked. The British
Columbia manufacturers have therefore
decided to close down all the mills for an
indefinite period. the

The farmers in
ing operations, but may be depended upon
to require a large quantity of lumber after

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY ED‘TION
ee
UNITED STATES.
The lumber outlook of the Uni d States
has improved during the past, week to the
extent that prospects have brightened for
an early resumption of work by the build-
ing trades of New York. This has -been
a great barrier to lumber consumption all
season, and when business again resumes
its normal condition the effect upon the
lumber trade should be telling. While
admitting a slight falling off in orders,
the volume of business has been of very
fair proportions. Saginaw dealers report:
a slow movement of the upper grades ‘of

Hemlock Association adopted a new list

anda slight advance on ship-lap. The,
supply of hardwood lumber has become
greater, although as yet not sufficient to,
enable the mills to accumulate any, stock; ,
The high prices for oak will no doubt,
stimulate production this season,; and jt,
would not be surprising if that lumber
should weaken towards the fall. Other
lumbers which have not: advanced, in the
same proportions are very likely to re-
main firm. A better supply of basswood,
at Buffalo is reported. In that market it,
sells readily at $40 for inch of best
quality. “8, 4
GREAT BRITAIN. mle
Advices from Great Britain indicate’
that the prospective buyer of lumber is
more inclined to give due consideration to
the possibility of a shortage in the Cana-_
dian supply. There is less disposition fo”
deter the closing of contracts in the hope”
of being able to purchase at lower prices.”
The market is holding its own’ and would
probably strengthen if a bettér demarid
for building lumber should develop. The
statistics of stocks on hand at the leading
ports show an improved position over thal
of last year. The stock of pine and spruce
deals is slightly smaller. At. Liverpool
the supply of waney and squarté pine’is |
only 73,000 cubic feet, whichis an ufusual-”
ly small quantity.
Pine deals are in good demand, particu-
arly first and second qualities. |Cargoes
of spruce deals have been placed at £7 10s
c.i.f. for specifications containing’66 to 70
per cent. of 7 and 8 inch.” First class ’
waney pine is wanted and may command °
a higher figure than has yet been obtained,
Oak is also much inquired for.” Elm has
improved of late, the buying evidently be-
ing by persons who havé held off but aré”
now of the opinion that the anticipated’
weakness is not likely to develop. While
market opinions do not agree in every par- "
ticular, the mzjority of importers believe”
that the market wil be firm until the fall at’
least.
The steamer Atbara sailed from Three,
Rivers, Que., Glasgow,
Scotland, with a cargo of deals.

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.
~=-New Brunswick shingles are in fair
demand and prices are steady. Appar-
ently the manufacturers have decided that
thee is only a fair margin'in shingles at
$3i8d¢kasis and purpose accepting no busi-
ness at lower prices. This fact in itself is a~
strong indication that prices will be firmly
maintained during the remainder of, the
year.
For many years past the consumption of
shingles has equalled the production, and —
while stocks have accumulated every year .
during the hot weather} gay from July 15 to
September 15, yet Christmas has invariably
the. mill yards. generally bare.
ht aE |
enough to hold their production during the
great majority of shingle producers have'
acquired more nerve and do not now hasten
to cut, prices and thereby demoralize the
market the moment they get on hand a
few cars of shingles for which they have
no orders. Again, the manufacturers now
generally make prices on their production
themselves instead of allowing some com-
mission house to make figures for them,’
This makes it impossible for the commis-
sion men to cut prices to effect large sales
at the cost of the manufacturer, and in it-
self tends to maintain prices.
For the last two months the wholesale
and _ retail trade have been expecting N.B.
shingles to. weaken in price in sympathy
with red vedar shingles.. Retailers have
refrained from buying because they figured
on Jower prices later. The lower prices have
not materialized, and retail stocks have
run down to’a point where they must buy
soon or be out of shingles. The labor trou-
bles are being settled; the outlook is better
for house construction; the drought is brok-
en and the country yards are taking fresh
courage.
At the mariufacturing end of; the line a
considerable quantity of logs has been
hung up and there.is now a certainty that
the 1903 production will be less, if any-
thing, than the quantity produced in 1902.
Absolutely the only unfavorable factor in
the outlook is the low price of Pacific Coast
red cedars. As this has not been able to
affect prices of N.B. cedars during the Jast
two months, there is reason to suppose
that it will be unable to do'se.the remain-
det of the season, and: that manufacturers
of N.B. cedars may look for a steady
market for some time to come and proba-
bly somewhat higher prices after October:
We may further say that all,low grades—
clears and poorer—are in excellent de-
mand, and that stock is well cleaned up at
full prices. Prices quoted f.o.b. Boston
points for standard brands are: Extras,
$350; clears, $3.00; 2nd.dlears, $2.35 to
$2.40; clear whites, $2.25 to $2.30; extra
No. 1, $1.65 to $1.75. As usual some small
mills are selling 5 to 10 cents off the list.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
A second boom of logs, comprising
3,000,000: feet, has arrived at the Burtis
mill at Thessalon, Ont. ,
The schooner F.M. Knapp cleared last
week from Thessalon, Ont., for Cleveland,
with 415,000 feet of pine lumber.
A report from the Saginaw valley says
that shingles are sluggish and 15 cents per
thousand lower than two. months ago.
The red shingle situation isa little brighter.
The first raft of the season was taken
over thé Chaudiere slides at Otiawa last
week. It contained 120 cribs of square
timber belonging to Gillies Bros., of Brae-
side, and was en route to Quebec.
The tugs Harrison and Maitland reach-
ed Owen Sound, Ont., last week witha
raft of 1,300,000 feet of hemlock, cedar
and pine, from Meldrum Bay.: The tim-
ber will be sawn at Maitland, Rixon &.

OUTLOOK FOR THE DRIVES.
The outlook for the log drives in New
Brunswick has improved slightly during
the past week. Some rain has fallen, but
it is yet extremely doubtful whether the
rivers will rise sufficiently to bring outsthe
logs that are hung up. The situation in
Maine is equally uncertain. Upwards of
175,000,000 feet of logs were cut Jast wint-
er on the Penobscot river, but as yet none
of these have reached the boom.
John McAllister, operating for Cushing
& Company, is hung up at Allegash Falls
with 3,000,000 feet, and Mr. Sweenore,
operating for W. H. Murray, has 5,000,000
feet huug up. R. Aitken is reported to be
meeting with much difficulty on the Aroos-
took river, with the prospect that both
the cut of this and last season, reaching
about 7,000,000 feet, will be hung up.
The situation on other rivers is not so
serious as on the St. John. The drives on
the Restigouche are all out and the cuts
this year at Campbellton and Dalhousie
will be fully up to the average and will in-
clude a large quantity of cedar.
The drives on the Miramichi river are
moving along fairly well. The cut on
this river last winter was as follows :

HARDWOOD PRICES AND DEMAND.
The American Lumberman makes some
timely remarks regarding Michigan hard-
woods, which, however, apply with some
force to the general hardwood market. In
hard maple, it is stated, there is no over.
stock and price conditionsare excellent. A
values trom $1 to $2 higher than a year
ago the demand is holding up excellently.
The only menace to Michigan maple values
is the ridiculously low prices at which
maple flooring is being put on the market.
It is argued by maple producers that maple
flooring manufacturers will be unable to
replace stock at a price that will show
them any profit on flooring at current
values.
Grey elm and basswood are the two
Michigan woods that have shown the
greatest accretion in value during the last
The demand is stiff at an advance

year.
of fully $5 over one year ago.
without saying that the stock in first hands
is very light.
Birch has followed the trend of maple
values and is about $2 higher than a year
ago. There seems to be a fair stock of
birch in sight, but the demand is good.
Black ash has become so limited in sup-
ply that it cuts comparatively little figure
among the other hardwoods of the state
at present. The substitution of other
woods is taking place and probably it will
never again cut much of a figure as a
standard product of Michigan,
Beech has also followed the fortunes of
the maple and birch to the extent that it is
in very reasonable demand at values from
$2 to $3 higher than it wasa year ago.
On the whole Michigan hardwood condi_
tions are in most excellent shape and the
future for these standard woods ‘looks
very bright.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
Unfavorable weather conditions are re-
sponsible for a decrease in the volume of
the lumber trade during. the past-week,
The demand continues steady, however,
and country trade is picking up to some
extent. Retailer- who have been holding off
in the hope of buying at lower figures" are
apparently being compelled by necessity
to replenish their stocks. Low grade pine
is in better demand than the upper grades,
the price of which has reached a point
which is regarded by many as _ prohibitive
to their use. In Toronto trade is unsatis-
factory owing to the light demand for
building lumber. Dealers have deserted
this market and are giving their attention
to outside customers. Buying of stock by
Michigan concerns is still in evidence. A
Saginaw firm lately added 15,000,000 feet
of pine to their holdings of Georgian Bay
stock. Prices in most instances are well
maintained, and the future does not seem
to offer much encouragement to the pros-
pective buyer who hopes to obtain any
marked concession from present prices.
While the midsummer quietness may de-
velop, and with it a slight weakness in
exceptional cases, the lumber list as a
whole is not likely to weaken, while if there
should be an active fall demand,a strength-
ening of values might result. Hardwood
lumber is being bought heavily by manu-
facturing concerns.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Large shipments of lumber have been
made from Montreal during the past week,
the stock consisting chiefly of pine and
spruce deals. The market is firm. It is
understood that dealers have recently
taken up options on considerable stock,
as there appears to be a feeling that a
shortage in the supply may result. Spruce
prices are showing a tendency to advance.
Severa. manufacturers n Nova Scotiaare
shipping largely to the South American
market. The
seems to be a little uncertain.
cedar shingle situation
Some firms
are offering extras freely at $3:45, Boston
delivery, while others are holding out. for
$3.50. Clears range from $2.90 to $3.00.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
A slight falling off in the demand for
lumber is reported by the manufacturers
who supply the western trade. This is due
in part to the temporary cessation of build-
ing operations in Winnipeg as the result of
a dispute between the contractors and the
brick-makers. The building season in
that city is further advanced than in any
previous year. This has brought about a
shortage in the brick supply. The con-
tractors claim, however, that a recently-
formed syndicate is the
market for the purpose of shutting out
certain contractors and legal proceedings
have been resorted to with a view to en-
forcing deliveries. It is expected that an
early settlement will be reached, when
work will be proceeded with as usual.
The demand for British Columbia lumber
is steady. In addition to shipments east-
ward, the local consumption is quite large.
A warehouse about to be commenced in
Vancouver will call for 1,000,000 feet of
lumber. The Brunette saw mills at New
Westminister were compelled to shut down
for a time on account of high water.

UNITED STATES,
With the immediate lumber demand in
the United States there is very little com-
plaint. Buyers have been more numerous
of late in the Lake Superior district, and
manufacturers have been unable to accu-
mulate any supply of dry stock. Practi-
cally all the lumber now in the yards is
sold. The settlement of the labor troubles
in New York was short-lived, hostilities
having again broke out and work being
tied up more completely than ever. The
loss of this market is felt quite keenly by
dealers at Albany, Buffalo and Tonawanda,
but when building in that city resumes its
normal conditition there should be a very
active-demand for lumber. High grade
pine is exhibiting less firmness than the
lower grades, for which there is a very
active enquiry. Orders for bill stuff are so
numerous that the mills are unable to meet
the demand. There is also a pronounced
scarcity of box lumber. Box concerns
have sent representatives into the saw-
the hope of buying
direct, but have not been very successful,

the mills having little stock for sale. Mill
culls sell readily.
Hardwood lumber of all kinds is very
strong. Maple appears to have taken the
lead in place of basswood, although the
latter is still in excellent demand. Dealers
are buying liberally in advance of require-
ments, many of them having already con-
tracted for their year’s supply. The new
cut is now coming on the market, but there
are no indications of lower prices.

GREAT BRITAIN.
Persons who have held the opinion that
the lumber trade of Great Britain is likely
to decline in the near future are pointing
with some degree of satisfaction to the
possibility of a general election as the re-
sult of the Hon. Mr. Chamberlain’s new
policy. They argue that the situation
offers little encouragement to buyers and
that prices are likely to weaken before the
close of the year, even if such a result is
not experienced immediately. There is a
great diversity of opinion, and it will be
necessary for the public to show greater
confidence before any activity will be wit-
nessed. Consumption is only moderate.
Reports concerning Canadian lumber are
of an encouraging character. The high
prices recently quoted are being maintain-
ed. Large quantities of whitewood are
being shipped from Southern Europe to

floated down the Assiniboine river.
W. H. Murray, of St. John, N. B., has
purchased from W. J. Scott, of Springfield,
1,000,000 feet of spruce logs which were
cut along the Keswick river last winter.
It is understood that the price paid was in
the vicinity of $12 per thousand feet.

H. B. Hetherington.
The S. P. Benjamin Company, of Wolf-
ville, N. S., have so far this year loaded
six vessels with lumber and expect to have
between 6,000,000 and 7,000,000 feet
more to ship. Their loading place for
small vessels is Hantsport, but the large-
sized vessels and steamers load further
down the river.

THE BOSTON MARKET.
Spruce lumber is in somewhat better
demand at Boston, and prices hold firm.
The rains have given plenty of water for
the drives, but the logs will be late in
coming down to the mills,and it is thought
that some of the drives on the smaller
streams will be left altogether. Prices are
steady and unchanged : Ten and 12-inch
dimensions, $21 ; nine inch and under,
$19; 10 and 12-inch random lengths,
10 feet and up, $20.50; 2x3, 2x4,
2x5, 2x6, 2x7, and 3x4, 10 feet and up,
$17 to $17.50 ; all other randoms, g-inch
and under, to feet and up, $18 to $18.50 ;
5-inch and up, merchantable boards, $17 ;
matched boards, $18.50 to $20; out spruce
boards, $13 to $14 ; bundle furring, $17.
Hemlock is steady with a quiet demand
t: Boards, 12, 14 and 16 teet stock,
$15 for good eastern ; Pennylvania, No. 1,
$18.50 to $19.50; No. 2, $15 to $16.50.
The demand for hard pine lumber con-
tinues very good, considering the strikes
and the consequent interruption to busi-
ness. An advance is expected in 14 to 16-
inch timber, but other prices are steady
and unchanged. Quotations are firm

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
Lumber manufacturers and dealers are
satisfied with the trade of ihe month of
June. While it has been, perhaps,slightly
less in volume than that of the corres-
ponding month last year, conditions ex-
restricted the
Never_
isted this season which
consumption of building lumber.
theless, unsold stocks are smaller than
usual at this season of the year, and the
outlook is for a steady demand at firm
prices. In pine lumber the demand is
running to the lower grades, but this must

which is likely to reach that market. Pine
deals from the St. Lawrence are going
steadily into cunsumption. Birch timber
is in fair demand, although prices are in-
clined to be easier. The volume of trade

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN._)
Inquiry made to-day in local lumber
offices fails to show any changes in Ot-
tawa district lumber prices since last let-
ter, so that present quotations stand.
There has been comparatively little change
in business. Dealers still profess an in-
ability to secure stocks at prices that will
insure them a return on their money. The
unsettled state of the New York lumber
market continues to give local dealers
cause for vexation on account of the delay
in shipments that is caused. <A couple of
times a settlement of the labor difficulties
in Gotham has been reported, but the pot
still seems to be boiling.
Around the mills all is activity, and with
a good supply of logs laid over from last
season's drives the saws are piling up lots
oflumber. The first of the pine will not
be ready for market before the first of
August. While a scarcity of labor is re-
ported at some of the mills, there have
been no strikes since the Hawkesbury
affair in April.

streams. It is now practically assured
that the big end of the log cut of 1g02-
1903 will reach the mills this season. This
being the case, there should be no let up
in Sawing operations on account of short-
age in log supply. The first of the cut of
logs of the season 1902-1903 have already
arrived at the mills. Rafts have been re-
ceived at their mills by the W. C. Edwards
Company, the Hawkesbury Lumber Com-
pany and Mr. J. R. Booth.
On the Petawawa river alone Mr. J. R.
Booth has fully 50,000 logs. The Hawkes-
bury Lumber Company's drive off the
Dumoine came out into the main stream
last week. Other firms are doing equally
well, noticeably the MacLarens, of Buck-
ingham, who have everything well iu hand
on the Lievre.
The square timber is behaving itself
nicely, in fact the first rafts have already
reached Ottawa, but this was taken off
one of the Gillies limits convenient to the
main Reports show that the
other squaretimber rafts not being handled
over the C. P. Railway are many miles
distant from the Capital. However, tak-
ing all in all, natural conditions could not
be very much better, and the lumbermen
have nothing to complain of.
stream.
Already plans are being made for the
work of 1903-1904. It is expected the
men will be sent into the woods earlier
this year than is usually the case, and it
will be a matter of only a few weeks until
the van guard is on the way. Conditions
promise to be about the same as they were
last year. The general prosperity will
retain wages 6n a high plane.
An effort is being made by Mr. J. R.
Booth and Hon. Senator Edwards to have
the recent by-law prohibiting the piling of
lumber in large quantities within the city
limits rescinded. Application to the City
Council to this effect has been made, but
it is difficult to say what the outcome will
be. It is pretty safe to say, however,
that the mills will remain whether the piles
goor stay. The by-law, in all probability,
will be modified.
Mr. W. H. McAuliffe, lumber dealer, of
Ottawa, has purchased all the present
season's cut of spruce at McLachlan Bros.
mill at Arnprior and the St. Anthony Lum-
ber Company’s mill at Whitney. Spruce
is amore rapid drier than pine, and Mr,
McAuliffe’s stock will be ready to ship at
any time now. Mr. McAuliffe’s new plan-
ing mill is well advanced. The roof is
being placed in position, and the mill will
be running in about a month.
Mr. Charles Desmarais, Hull, Que.,
took out a large stock of poles this season.
He has 1,500 on hand 25 feet and upward
in length,7 inch top. These are piled along
the Gatineau and Pontiac lines ready for
prompt shipment.
An old lumberman to-day furnished
some figures which will show the wonder-
ful advances there have been in the past
half century in the price of white pine
square timber. It is selling now at the
port of Quebec at 65 cents a cubic foot,
whereas it went begging for purchasers,
practically, five years ago at 4o cents a
cubic foot. The advance in the past five
years has been almost four times as great
as was the advance in the previous thirty

years, for in 1869 white pine was quoted
at Quebec at 33 cents a foot. This leaves
an advance of 7 cents between 1869 and
1898, as against an advance of 25 cents
between 1898 and 1903. Decrease in pro-
duction rather than increase in demand is
probably the reason for this strong ad-
vance in square timber. This year not
one raft will pass down to Quebec, where
there were tena few years ago. It is
getting more difficult, asthe years pass
by, and the cutting increases, to secure
Canadian white pine suitable for decking.
Late reports, contrary to general ex-
pectations, show that forest fires during
the recent long drought played havoc in
standing timber on some of the Ontario
limits. In the vicinity of Des Joachims,
inthe Black river section of the Upper
Ottawa country, standing timber equiva-
lent to fully 500,000 logs was burned
through. This was on one of Mr. J. R.
Booth’s limits. Several keep-overs, hold-
ing large stores of supplies, were also de-
stroyed. It is expected that part of the
standing timber that was scorched can be
sawed, providing it is felled before the
worms get in their insidious work.
Mr. Wm. Hutcheson, ex M.P., Cana-
dian Commissioner to the Exposition held
at Osaka, Japan, states that the British
Columbia,or Douglas fir, as it is commonly
called, is received in great favor in the
Orient and in Manilla. Experiments made
on Government contracts in Manilla have
shown that the Douglas fir is the only
wood which will stand weather and insect
ravages. For this reason it has been
selected, although disguised under the
name of Oregon fir.

South Africa, in a report to the Dominion
Government, comments vigorously upon
the recent shipment of building material
for South Africa railways. He states that
the material ordered was to be first-class,
but when it arrived it was found to be
inferior and was refused. There was a
long delay before the shipment reached
the Cape.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The demand for lumber is fairly good.
The recent rains will swell the crop of logs
that will reach the mills this season. The
prices are about the same as last week.
At Bathurst, N. B., the mills are run-
ning day and night and they as well as the
Caraquet mills are doing good work. In
Nova Scotia the dealers report that they
cannot supply the demaud in all kinds of
lumber. Hemlock, spruce and pine is go-
ing rapidly. There is a large demand for
shingles and special stock also. At Liver-
pool, N. S., no stocks are on hand, and
vessels waiting. The outlook and tend-

UNITED STATES.
Latest reports from the white pine man-
ufacturers show that there has been little
change in the situation as regards demand
and prices. On the whole the market re-
mains firm and it appears to be in good
condition. Those operating in the north
note a little better demand from the east,
caused by the winding up of labor difficul-
ties. Many of the strikes having been
settled there will be a material increase in
the call for lumber. The future prospects
of pine are good. Crop conditions show
an improvement each week. Prices have
not shown the weakening predicted by

in the country.
An immense sale of 30,000,000 feet at a
little over $25 is reported from the Lake
Superior district. A number of good sized
sales have also recently been made at
good prices at various points along the
lake. The situation along the lakes at
present is strong. Buyers are more nu-
merous and the outlook more promising.
Lumber is moving out as fast as it gets in
shipping condition. Prices for water ship-
ment have seldom been firmer than at this
time. Low grade lumber has been strong,
while high grade stuff at the going qguota-
tion has never wanted for buyers. In the
summer prices are expected to sag a little,
but it is doubtful whether we shall see any
falling off this season. Receipts of lum-
ber at Chicago last week were Only half

In the Saginaw valley the white pine

THE OUTLOOK.
J. R. Booth’s drives off the Pettawawa,
consisting of 50,000 logs, is now being
boomed at the mouth of the river. The
last drive that passed out of the Coulonge
river, belonged to the McLaren firm.
The drive of logs on the Black river
moved into the Ottawa river on Monday.
These logs belong to the McLaughlin
Bros., of Arnprior.
The sweepers are at work on the Deep
river at present, and expect to work down
as far as the head of the Calumet this
week.
The square timber is moving along the
different streams at a good pace.
J. R. Booth’s first raft from Mattawa
has reached the lower Ottawa.
The water on the Pettawawa rose 22
inches in the recent rain, and on the main
Ottawa the water rose 8 inches.
Messrs. McLachlin Bros. have decided
to boom one of their Bonnechere river
drives of sawlogs in Mud Lake. It will
not be taken to their Arnprior mill this
season.
In New Brunswick the drives were re-
ported to be making rather slow progress
on account of the low state of the water.
The. main corporation drive at Newburg,
consisting of 6,000,000 feet, was covering
both shores and the sand bars between
that place and Meductic. A crewof men
were at Grand Falls, N.B., with 1,000,000
feet of logs stranded in the ‘‘Coffee mill.”’
There are no logs coming over Grand
Falls and only a few are hung up between
the Falls and Newburg.
Reports from St. John state that logs
are a scarce article aronnd Bangor, and
specially is this true of the spruce lumber,
which is the best and most used in these
mills. Two of these mills, Sterns’ and
Sargents’, the Sargent Lumber Company,
the first at East Hampden and the latter
in South Brewer, have already stopped
running from lack of logs to saw. Other
mills are not sawing their full capacity.
Ayer's mill, of the Eastern Manufacturing
Company's mill, is the only one which has
enough spruce to run all of its saws. It is
said that this firm has enough logs to last
until August. Walker's mill at Orcno,
James Walker & Co.,being the firm name,
is running one band saw on spuce, and
Lowell & Engell are cutting as much pine
as they are spruce.
The reports state that what logs there
were in tne booms would not last any
where near the time of the arrival of the
drives. Unless big rains continue, the
mills will have to shut down about the
middle of September until the middle of
October. The Chamberlain lake logs
cannot get into Grand lake without heavy
rains. Reports state that they have wa-
ter enough but there are too many logs
there. After they have been sluiced into’
Grand Lake it would take big rains to get
them down to the east branch and into the
boom.
Thus far there have arrived in the Pen-
obscot boom 31,000,000 feet of new logs,
of which 19,000,000 feet were from the
Main river and the lower end of the
Piscataquis and Mattawankeag rivers.
In addition to this there were about
3,500,000 feet of the old logs in the
boom. All these logs have been rafted
out, with the exception of the last drive,
which the crew is now working on.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
Ill,
the Penobszot river is estimated at about
82,000,000 feet.
Reports from the lumber firms of the
Ottawa valley tend to show that all the
logs and timber manufactured
during tne 1902-03 will be
handled satistactorily this summer. The
past fortnight’s rains filled up the smaller
creeks and any danger of the timber
being hung up has been removed. Most
of the stock has already reached the
square
season of
main streams. It will be two or three
weeks, however, before the first of the
season's logs reach the mills. The Hawkes-
bury Lumber Company's drive of logs off
the Dumoine river came out on tothe
main stream a few days ago and the
Pettawawa drive belonging to the same
~ firm is well on its way.
The Booth-Eddy Hawkesbury upper
Dumoine logs from all reports will stay
in Robinson lake till next year. The tim-
ber drives are also well on their way. E.
D. Moore's timber drive passed Dumoine
bridge on Saturday. Mr. J. R. Booth’s
rafts from his Mackey limit are well down
the river. The steady movement of logs
is important inasmuch as it will insure an
early supply for the mills, all of which
are rapidly manufacturing all the logs
left over from last year. There does not
appear to be any danger of any of the
mills having to close down this season on
account of scarcity of logs.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,
The lumber market is unchanged. The
dealers report export trade good. The
demand for shingles is slack, and the
market is overstocked. Large quantities
of B. C. shingles were brought in at a very
low rate during December and January
which killed local production, the prices
then ruling being very low. Many dealers
state that hemlock cannot be brought in
at the prices quoted and a profit made
thereon.
Heavy shipments from the Georgian
Bay are being made to all United States
points. The second cargo of lumber ever
brought to the Menominee river from
Canada was unloaded at Marinette, Wis.,
last week. The sawmill of the Algoma
Commercial Co., at Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.,
has just cleaned up all of its cut of the past
six months or more, at an average price
of $22 a thousand, mill run, buyer to pay
the duty. This lumber goes to- Buffalo
and is being shipped.
The imports of lumber from Canada to
Great Britain are increasing. The export
for the past six months as given by the
British Board of Trade shows an increase
in hewn wood of $50,000 and a decease in
sawn wood of $35,000.
In the Ottawa district the Chaudiere
slides are going full blast, immense ratts
of timber being floated down in cribs.
Several rafts have already past through
this year. There is no trouble this year in
putting the timber through the slides,
owing to the improvements made and the
high water. Practically all of the log
drives have been moved off the Dumoine,
Coulonge, Black and Gatineau rivers. It
is estimated there were fully 50 per cent.
more logs taken off the Coulonge this
season than last. This increase is ac-
counted for in part by the fact that all the
logs hung up last year were sent through
some of the
streams the rise of water was four feet,
safely this season. . On
owing to the heavy rains.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Prices remain about stationary in

They say that, pressure having been
brought to bear upon the United States
Treasury Department, the specia! duty of
35 per cent. on Canadian pulp wood has
been withdrawn and they are now accept-
ing shipments of this product as here-

considerable money in the development of
the property and the manufacture of
lumber for the European market.
In Nova Scotia the reports of the great
forest fires have been followed by re-
ports of rain and good crop. This has
had the effect of causing a better con-
dition in the lumber market. In Cumber-
land alone the lumbermen have lost nearly
half a million dollars. Among the areas
burned are: At River Hebert 15.000
acres of J. Newton Pugsley, and large
tracts of Christie Brothers, and S. B.
Kelly. At Newville, 6000 acres of the
Newwille Lumber Co. 2000 acres of the
Fox River Lumber Co. At Sand River,
7000 acres of E. I. White & Son ; and at
Shulee a large area. Large gangs of
men were engaged for weeks in endeav-
oring to check the fires, and in many
cases they met with considerable success.
From New Brunswick it is reported
that the lumber market is about station
ary. Ocean deal freights are still very
low, 35 shillings being the rate hence to
west coast of England. Several steamers
have left St. John and a number of others
about ready to proceed with full cargoes.
The Gibson Company have shipped -ten
schooner loads to the American market
and large lots by rail, besides some im-
mense deal shipments to the old country.
It is said that about 35,000,000 feet of
logs are still ‘‘ hung up’ above Grand
Falls on the St. John river, as the rains
have not been heavy enough to bring
them out. In St. John county the loss to
standing timber by forest fires has been
heavy. Atone place a thousand acres
were burned over, and while the timber
that is large enough can be cut and
manufactured, the young growth is ruined
for years to come.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDsriON
-
July 15, 1903
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
The lumber industry in Manitoba is in a
very flourishing condition. The total out-
put of Winnipeg saw mills will be over
10,000,000 feet. Several new mills are
going up in the Province. Building oper-
ations continue very brisk and the demand
for lumber of all kinds is still large.
At the coast stocks are moving actively.
The class of lumber most in demand at the
present time is clear fir, flooring and sid-
ing, spruce and cedar siding, also fir tim-
ber. Shingles are slow, while all other
lines are active. Dealers report mixed
carload orders arriving daily. Stocks of
lumber are low, but shingles are heavily
stocked at all points on the B. C. coast.
No heavy stocks of lumber are held.
Prices are likely to remain steady. As
previously announced the various saw
mills in Vancouver, B. C., and vicinity
have determined to make no sales of lum-
ber to local contractors or builders until
further notice, because of the carpenters
strike. As a result all work has been
stopped on building requiring lumber.
The mills will be run as usual, but no lum-
ber is supplied locally. Rail and boat
shipments still continue. That is the pro-
gramme adopted by the mill men. Three
months ago logs were scarce and were
selling at $7 and $8 a thuusand, now they
are being offered for $4 an.! there is no
demand at that figure. It is estimated
that there are 5,000 loggers working on
the coast close to Vancouver. The daily
output of the woods at the vresent time is
5,000,000 feet, with the result that there is
an over-production, as the capacity of the
mills is one-third less.
Some big deals in timber have been
made. One million dollars in cash has
been paid to the Dunsmuir estate for 50,-
ooo acres of timber land and it is reported
that another large milling ‘plant on the
island is under option to an American
syndicate.
The request of the loggers of the coast,
represented by the B. C. Lumbermen’s
Association, for permission from the Pro-
vincial Government to export logs to the
American side was laid before Premier
McBride. It was explained to Lim that
on account of not being able to dispose of
their logs to local mills, the loggers de-
sired to export, and sought to have the
law prohibiting export annulled for a peri-
od of six months.
Hon. Mr. McBride informed the deputa-
tion that if its desires were placed ina
petition the matter would receive earnest
consideration. In accordance a petition
has been prepared and presented to the
government, a reply to which is soon ex-
pected.
The loggers at the coast have decided
to close down all the camps for forty-five
days after August 1st, to provide for a re-
covery of the now over-crowded market.
UNITED STATES,
There has been some change in market
conditions during the past week. Crop
conditions having shown an improvement,
and the strikes having about died out, the
outlook for the lumber trade is brighter.
Prices are steady at about former level,
although a numher of items are somewhat

stronger. Building statistics show a very
heavy demand for building material. The
second half of the year opened up with a
better feeling allaround. Shipments have
been fully up to the average. Wholesal-
ers of white pine state the demand will
absorb practically all the available stock.
There is a general feeling of security on
the part of those who are handling white
pine. At some points trouble is anticipat-
ed in keeping full crews of loggers at
work. Improvement is noted in the
shingle market, although all
mills have been shut down, and will con-
tinue closed for some time. r
North Dakota and Manitoba are calling
for large supplies of white pine. In upper
Minnesota dimension is extremely scarce.
Lumbermen have had to contend with
severe strikes in the east, floods in the
south and south-west, and drouth in more
northern territory, in addition to com-
bined efforts of line yard buyers to break
the market. Despite this the market to-
day is in excellent shape.
There is a lull in the hardwood market.
Offerings of stock are more numerous
than a month ago. Basswood supplies
have grown larger and the same can be
said of oak, but it is doubtful if the pro-
duction of poplar, quartered oak and a
few other items will be sufficient for the
trade this season. Buffalo reports a
scarcity of maple and they are trying to
fill the deficiency with birch. Prices
have seen little or no change. Eastern
hemlock continues in great demand and
has gone up a point.
Receipts of lumber during last month
were large at lake ports. There was re-
ceived at Bay City'15,599,855 feet and at
Saginaw 6,221,305 feet, making a total of
21,821,160 feet for June. The May re-
ceipts were 14,148,657 feet.
The Wisconsin valley shipped out a
larger amount of lumber than during: any
previous month with one exception, which
shows that the demand for lumber in that
section is strong.
The conditions in the wholesale market
are good. The demand for lumber in the
manufacturing trade such as vehicles, box,
furniture, etc., is very active. The heavy
forest fires in the north have curtailed
operations somewhat at producing sources.
The spruce market continues very firm.

In the Liverpool market Canadian
wood—wancey board and square pine—
have gone fairly well into consumption and
prices remain very firm. Waney pine has
arrived freely, values rule high and stocks
are moderate. Square timber—the de-

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
Business in lumber cannot be called
active, but there is a steady movement
which augurs well for a healthy fall trade.
Any uneasiness which has been exhibited
has been confined to dealers in certain
localities who purchased heavily early in
the season and subsequently found their
stocks rather large. This has been the
case to a moderate extent in Toronto,
where the lumber consumption has been
restricted by the strike in the building
trades. Now that this obstacle has been
removed and building operations are again
proceeding unimpeded, a large consump-
tion of lumber may be expected. Work
on many buildings was suspended during
the strike, while other projects remained
in an embryo state. Some of the latter
will doubtless be commenced immediately,
while others may be deferred until next
spring.
Price lists issued by manufacturers
show little change. For inch No. 1 cuts
and better in white pine $50 at the mill is
asked, and for 1% inch $55. There is a
good demand for box luinber. Ten-inch
box and common is held at $16 for 10-foot
lengths and $17 for 12 and 14-foot lengths.
Mill culls are firm at $12.50 for 1x12 inch,
6 to 16 feet. In hemlock the call is chiefly
for inch and dimension. Most of the mills
quote $12.50 for 1x 10 and 12-inch up to
16 feet in length, while $15 is asked for
$22 feet.
Prices of white pine shingles have been
shaded about ten cents per thousand, this
being due to the weakness of red cedars.
The production of the white pine variety
is gradually diminishing, as there is very
little money in manufacturing pine timber
into shingles.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The feeling in lumber circles throughout
the Eastern Provinces is one of great con-
fidence. It is believed that no difficulty
will be found in disposing of the entire
production of spruce lumber at remunera-
tive prices. There is a distinctly better
feeling in respect to British deals.
Information concerning the drives is of a
more encouraging character. The St,
John river has risen rapidly and logs
are running freely. It is said that the
river is full of logs for fifteen miles up
trom Federicton. The main corporation
drive is expected to reach the Douglas
boom in about ten days. Present indica-
tion are that fewer logs will be hung up
than was anticipated a month ago. The
Fredericton Boom Company discontinued
Operations at the Mitchell boom last week,
notwithstanding that several million feet
of log are yet to be rafted. The action of
the company has been severely criticized
by lumbermen.
There is no material improvement in the
cedar shingle market. Extras are still
selling as low as $340 on Boston rate of
freight.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
There is a very active demand in Winni-
peg for lumber, as building operations are
on an extensive scale. It is estimated that
the value of building work in that city this
year will reach upwards of $5,000,000.
The mills are taxed to their full capacity
to supply the demand, although of late
larger shipments have been received from
British Columbia and the United States.
Dimension timber has been advanced 50
cents per thousand.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY ED‘ SION

is still complicated. The over-production
of logs has resulted in a drop in price of
about $4 per thousand, and unless the
Provincial Government should grant per-
mission to the loggers to export some of
the stock, there does not appear to be
much probability of immediate relief. The
' proposal of the loggers is that they be
allowed to export the logs now in the
water up to 50,000,000 feet, or that they
be given export privileges for a period of
six months. As stated last week, the log-
ging camps are to be closed down for a
period of 45 days from August 1st next.
The shingle market is somewhat de-
moralized. The mills have large stocks
on hand and are not experiencing a very
active demand. One of the largest con-
cerns is said to have become temporarily
embarrassed on account of the over-pro-
duction.
The Builders’ Exchange of Vancouver
have shown sympathy with the action of
the mill men in refusing to sell lumber to
the contractors, apparently believing that
this action was in the best interests of the
trade and likely to bring about a termina-
tion of the labor difficulties. The wood-
workers have demanded a nine-hour day,
and the mill men claim that they cannot
grant such concession and compete in the
lumber market of the North-West with
the mills of the Lake of the Woods and
the United States. As the general busi-
usss of the city and district is being affect-
ed, itis thought that steps will be taken
to bring about an early settlement.
UNITED STATES,
The strike in the building trades in New
York City having been settled, it is ex-
pected that considerable activity in the
demand for lumber will follow. Already
there has been an improvement “in the
In the outlying districts the
yards are busy, with some dealers actually
rushed with business. Retail dealers are
placing orders freely, as during the strike
period they were averse to increasing
their stock to any extent. The call for
spruce is equal to the supply, with prices
steady and some predictions of an advance.
It will probably be found difficult, how-
ever, to put prices to a much higher basis
without restricting consumption.
There is a better feeling in the pine trade,
the scarcity of the lower grades having
offset the tendency towards weakness
shown by the upper grades. Box lumber
is the best seller in the list and is held for
high figures by most shippers.
The hardwood situation shows little
change. Stock is still scarce, although
the new cut is coming onto the market
quite freely. Efforts to make an exceed-
ingly large cut in the South-Western
States were thwarted by floods, and it is
doubtful if prices would decline materially

scarce, while black ash cannot be obtained
in any quantity.
The shingle market is characterized by
uncertainty. Owing to the over-supply,
dealers do not know what price to ask for
Pacific Coast red cedars. White cedar
shingles of first quality range from $3,40
to $3.50 in the Eastern States. The lath
market is firm on the basis of $3 for car-
goes, New York delivery, while car quo-
tations are $3.15 for 1% inch and $3.30
for 156 inch.
GREAT BRITAIN.
A few weeks ago British dealers were
disposed to let go of their stocks on the
belief that they would be able to replenish
them at a lower price later in the season.
In this respect there has been a change of
Opinion, as it is now generally admitted
that materially lower prices this year for
Canadian lumber are out of the question.
Trade, however, is only moderately active,
and should the business of the country
become depressed, it would probably be
reflected in lower prices for lumber for
next year’s delivery. White pine deals
continue very strong, as the supply is
small and no satisfactory substitute has
yet been found. There is a surplus of the
lower grades of some clases of lumber,
but this is nut the case in respect to white
pine, the splendid demand in the United
States having prevented heavy shipments
to Great Britain. For a quantity of first
quality broad pine deals $30 was recently
obtained at a public sale, and as much as
$32 is being asked for first quality c. i. f.
London. Spruce prices are firm. Some
box-makers who have been obtaining their
supplies from the Baltic are turning their
attention to Canadian sprace, owiug to the
fact that the Baltic production has been
advanced in price. Quebec waney timber
is very scarce. Some dealers have been
compélled to withhold quotations until they
could learn more definitely as to the
quantity likely to be shipped from this side.
The Board of Trade returns show that
during the first six months of this year the
quantity of hewn and sawn lumber im-
ported into Great Britain was 3,314,285
loads, as compared with 2,914,246 loads for
the same period in 1902. The import from
Canada was about the same as last year.

pieces last year. Oak, elm, ash and birch
timber also show a decrease.
Messrs, Churchill & Sim, London, Eng-
land, referring to Canadian lumber, say
that prices for really good deals reach
higher level, but always, of course, for
small quantities. Oak and birch timber
have been the best of the hardwoocds, elm,

deals and 80,000 pieces of birch planks.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
Inquiry goes to show that prices, while
showing no advance, continue firm. The
fact that so much of the lumber: was con-
tracted for months ahead in big blocks is
probably accountable for this. In conver-
sation with several manufacturers and
dealers it was learned that the LUMBER-
MAN quotations are about right. It is
sometimes a difficult matter to get a line
on prices on account of the great difference
in grades and styles handled by the differ-
ent mills to suit the wishes of individual
customers,
The mills of the Ottawa district, and the
Nipissing and Georgian Bay districts as
well for that matter, are now shipping
steadily on the present season's cut of white
pine lumber. Present season’s deals were
first on their way to second hands some
time ago. With the assurances that prac-
tically all their logs are clear of the
streams running into the main rivers, the
lumber operators are turning their atten-
tion more closely than ever to the work
at the mills. The moderation of the in-
dustrial turmoil in New York City has
cleared the way to some extent for the
receipt of Ottawa district lumber, but the
advent of vacation season has on the other
hand given business in some quarters a
set-back. Lots of lumber is being sent
out of the Ottawa and district yards by
both rail and water nevertheless. A
shortage of cars for the American trade is
complained of, though shipments to Cana-
dian points are not interfered with.
It's the large men, however, who are
getting in their fine licks on the lumber
carrying business. It is not an uncommon
sight to see a tow of from four to eight
barges on the move bound for Montreal
for export. Upwards of 2,500,000 feet of
lumber has been seen in one of these flo- :
tillas. The Canadian barges carry about
300,000 feet apiece, but the American

barges, on account of low bridges and
small canals, have to be content with from
120,000 to 150,000 feet each. This year's
shipments by water are far in excess of
those of last year.
An important sale of timber limits in the
Nipissing district has just been completed.
Messrs George Gordon & Company, of
Pembroke, have purchased from Holland
& Graves, of Bying Inlet, 36 square miles
of timber limits situated on the Sturgeon
river. The price was in the neighborhood
of $200,000. The limit has a good stock
of white pine on it, and will be worked

of it the price indicates a marked advance

This has certainly been a great year for
square timber in the Ottawa river district.
For several days last week, there was a
steady procession of cribs through the
Government slides at the Chaudiere Falls.
Fraser & Company, Gillies Bros. and E.R
Booth all had big rafts on the river at the
one time. The Booth raft contained 155
cribs, the Fraser raft 152, and the Gillies
raft 40. The Fraser raft made a record
run, doing the distance from the mouth of
the Coulonge to Ottawa city, 125 miles, in
ten working days. Besides this timber
sent by river, the C.P.R. is handling fully
1,000,000 cubic feet of square timber,
This includes the output of the Hull
Lumber Company, Rideau Lumber Com-
pany, R. H. Klock and Robert Hurdman,
taken off limits in the Kippewa and Temis-
This timber is to be
delivered into the Ottawa river at Papi-
neauville, and from that point rafted down
to Quebec city, Edward Moore will havea
couple of big rafts down by river. All the
logs, or pretty near all, are off the
Dumoine, Black, Coulonge, Desert and
Lievere rivers. On some of these streams
and the Gatineau there are logs awaiting
the sweepers, but their number is small
compared to the grand total. Some of the
firms, wearying during the long May
drought of ever getting rain, called their
river drivers off the small creeks. Now
that the latter are running full, there
are no men to move the logs, and
the latter will remain up country until
next season. The W. C. Edwards Com-
pany sent a gang of men back up the

firms of smaller calibre all got their logs
down.
Mr. J. R. Booth has decided to extend
his lumber railroad running from Egan
Estate on the western division of the Can-
ada Atlantic Railway into his limits, The
road is now eight miles in length, but the
advance of the log makers has made it
necessary to extend it another five miles.
This is the road over which Mr. Booth
handles logs during the winter season.
Davidson & Thackray, whose planing
mill and sash factory was destroyed by
fire, have decided to build on an isolated
site in the west end of the city. The new
mill will be a one storey brick structure
200 x 400 feet.
Talking about the long life of well man-
aged limits, it may be remarked that the
raft of square timber moved down the
river a few days ago by Fraser & Com-
pany, was taken off the limit on which
over half a century ago the late Alexan-
der Fraser started the lumbering opera-
tions that brought him his millions.
Fraser & Company's new mill at Des-
chenes, Quebec, above Ottawa, is being
rapidly fitted up. It will be running ina
few weeks time. There is nothing to touch
it hereabouts.

George Gordon & Company, of Pem-

chased from the Holland & Graves Lum-
ber Company, of Bying Inlet, Ont., 36
miles of timber lands situated on the
Sturgeon river, Nipissing district. The
price paid was in the neighborhood of
$200,000. Valuable white pine covers

Further particulars have come to hand
concerning the extensive purchase of tim-
ber lands on Vancouver Island B.C., by an
American syndicate. Messrs. C. H. Cobb,
James Campbell, Rufus H. Smith, of
Seattle, and Frank Bronell, of Everet,
paid $1,000,000 in cash to the Dunsmuir
Estate for fifty acres of timber limits on
that island. It is said that the purchasers
are to have a choice of any fifty acres of
the 2,000,000 acres owned by the Duns-
muir Estate. One estimate places the
quantity of timber on fifty acres of the
property at 2,500,000,000 feet, although
it is believed that this estimate will be
found to be above the actual quantity.
Most of the timber is fir and cedar and is
said to be of fine quality.

on a more equitable footing than has here!
tofore existed. Instead of 20 per cent. dis-
count from tariff rates at the end of the
season allowed to other tonnage, the lum-
ber carriers under the new agreement will
get 30 percent. except at the ports of
Chicago and Tonawanda, where a 35 per
cent. discount from the tariff rates will be
granted to members of the association.
The cash discount will be 4o per cent. in-
stead of 5 per cent. as given other ton-
nage. A flat price of $5 is also made for
taking lumber tow barges into locks at
the Soo, thus doing away with the neces-
sity of the steamer handling a long tow in
the locks.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO. -
The month of July has afforded manu-
facturers a very acceptable opportunity to
devote attention to the sawing end of their

the spring season. It now shows signs of
improving and optimistic opinions are ex-
pressed as to fall business. The person

who sees in the near future a decline
in lumber prices is a rare excep_
tion. The many advocates of a firm mar-
ket point with much satisfaction to the
large quantity of this season’s production
of both pine and hardwood lumber that has
already passed out at first hands, much of
it for export, and the demand does not yet
seem to be satisfied. Offerings of white
pine have been readily absorbed, and in
addition considerable southern pine has
been imported. There is a heavy call for
box lumber. Ten inch box and common
ranges from $16 to $17 and 12-inch from
$19 to $20.
Hardwood lumber has been bought
urgently all season. The conditions have
been favorable to the buyer and are likely
to continue so. So much of the hardwood
production is consumed by local isanufac-
turing industries that there is a very small
quantity for export.
The shingle market is steady at the
recent decline in prices. As country build-
ings become more nearly completed an
increased demand may be looked for. At
the present time the buying is by no means
insignificant, the unfavorable feature being
the heavy stock of red cedars. Upon the
development of fall trade a firming up of

prices may result.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The strength of the spruce Jumber mar-
ket is well illustrated by the prices ruling
for logs, which are probably the highest
ever known. Twelve dollars per thous-
and was recently paid for one million feet
of spruce logs located above Fredericton,
and at the annual sale of unmarked logs,
held last week, $13 was paid for spruce of
an average quality. In that

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
Lumber continues to sell very readily
throughout Manitoba and the Territories.
Buildings under way are being pushed
forward as rapidly as possible and are
consuming a large quantity of lumber,
but a slight falling off in the volume of
new work is reported. Prices are steady.
The situation in British: Columbia has
been improved by the abandonment of the
strike inaugurated by the men employed
in the mills and wood-working factories
of Vancouver, ‘Lumber is now being de-
livered throughout the city as usual, and
al.
the mills are quite busy. For clear fir
flooring and siding and spruce and cedar
siding there isa steady call. Heavy fir
timber is also in splendid*'demand. Stocks
of lumber are but shingles are
heavily stocked at all points on the B. C.
coast. It is probable that the mills may
decide upon a curtailment in the produc-
tion of shingles until such time as the
low,
market recovers.
UNITED STATES.
General satisfaction is expressed with
lumber market conditions in the United
States. Trade during July has been typi-
‘al of that month, being of a quiet charac-
ter. During the past week, however,
the demand has become more active and
any weakness which developed early in
the’ month has passed away. Those who
hold large stocks of lumber are in no
hurry to sell, for they believe that the fall
will witness a heavy demand for all kinds
of lumber. The New York labor difficul-
ties having been finally adjusted, the out-
look in that city is particularly bright.
Plans were filed last week for 46 new
buildings to be erected in the boroughs of
Manhattan and the Bronx, at a cost
exceeding $1,600,000. Cleveland dealers
report that Norway lumber is showing
decided strength, and white pine shop,
which weakened early in the spring, is
rapidly recovering. No. 1 common boards,
8 and to inch, which suffered from the
substitution of yellow pine, are again in
demand. Box lumber has been bought in
large quantilies and dry stock is very
scarce ; in fact,the call is generally for the
lower grades of pine.
In the Albany list one or two grades
have been marked down,as follows: No. 1
cuts, I to 2 inch, $55 to $57; No. 2 cuts,
$35 to $45; 10 inch common, $20. In other
grades and sizes advances have been
made which offset these ceclines.
Hardwoods have even a better run than
white pine. Boston reports a scarcity of
thick maple, white ash and plain and
quartered oak. Basswood is moving more
actively, but there is still little dry stock
available. The bulk of the visible supply
of hardwoods is in the hands of a few large
dealers. In Chicago $38 is asked for first
and second basswood, although a few sales
are being made below this figure. Buyers,
however, will probably find that they will
have to pay the price or use a substitute.
Birch and elm are scarce in the Eastern
States and sell readily. The base price
of hemlock has not changed, that lumber
being sought after as much as ever.
Eastern dealers report heavy sales of
the product. Michigan
stock is beginning to make its appearance
in greater quantities at Tonawanda and
Buffalo.

their attitude somewhat and are now buy-
ing with more liberalty. There seems to
be a general improvement on all sides.
Building operations are more active and
retail dealers are replenishing their stocks.
The absence of shipments of Jumber on
consignment has been noticeable this year,
tending to prevent an overstock. A re-
port from West Hartlepool states that the
scarcity of best quality pine deals is caus-
ing a number of inquiries, and prices are
exceptionally strong and show no signs
whatever of weakening. The spruce
market has been strengthened by the re-
turn to that lumber of many merchants
who purchased heavily of whitewood a
short time ago because of the high prices
demanded for spruce, They appear to
be convinced that whitewood cannot sup-
ply the place of spruce in the box-making
industry. Predictions have been made
that deals will shortly bring £10 per
standard. They have recently sold at £9
15s. Some firms have given instructions
to their representatives to withdraw all
previous quotations owing to the difficulty
of obtaining supplies at a price which
would leave a margin of profit.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
It is stated that log run basswood by
lake from Michigan costs about $28 in
Buffalo.
Sales of hemlock for water delivery are
being made on the basis of $10.50 to $11
at the mill. Delivered in Chicago the
price is $12.50.
Murray & Gregory, of St. John, N. ‘Bs,
who recently lost their fine saw mill by
fire, have set up a portable mill capable of
cutting about 30,000 feet per day.
Haines & Company, of Buffalo, have a
single lot of about 3,000,000 dry pine lath
ready to come down from the Lake
Superior district as soon as a boat can be
obtained.
Over 3,000,000 feet of logs reached
Vancouver, B. C., about midnight on the
21st inst. The logs were divided into five
tows, the largest belonging to the tug
Pilot, which brought 1,250,000 feet from
Toba Inlet.
The tug Roscebel reached Sarnia, Ont.,
on July 19th with a raft containing 8,-
000,000 feet of logs towed from Georgian
Bay for the Cleveland-Sarnia Saw Mily
Company. It is said to be the largest raft
ever towed on Lake Huron.
The receipts of lumber at the Tonawan-
das by vessel during the third week of
July were 13,000,000 feet, a gain of 4,-
000,000 feet over the previous week.
Buffalo received by lake only 3,648,000
feet of lumber and 4,952,000 shingles.
Probably the largest carload of shingles

early in July. It contained 270,000 red
cedar shingles, and was shipped from
Vancouver, B. C., on June 10th, the
freight amounting to over $300.
An improved market for cooperage
stock is reported in Chicago. Pork bar-
rels are selling at $1.15 to $1.20 for oak ;
$1.02% to $1.05 for ash; tierce staves are
quoted from $28 to $29; pork staves at
$22 to $23; tierce hoops from $15 to
$15.50.
No. 1, 2 and 3 white pine lath are quot-
ed in North Tonawanda at $3-75, $3.25
and $2.50 respectively, and some dealers
say they have secured an advance over
these figures in certain instances. In
Chicago No. 1 white pine Jath are quoted
at $3.50, No. 1 mixed at $3, and No. 2 at
$2.75.
The United States Consul at St. John,
N. B., turnishes the following statement
of lumber exports from that port to the
United States during the fiscal year end-
ing June 3oth,1903: Lumber, value $1 135-
307-04; laths, $211,118.83 ; piling, $o,-
695.30; shingles, $28,963 ; staves, $446.-
253 wood pulp, $253,402.61. The above
exports comprised Canadian lumber exclu-
sively. The export of the lumber product
of main logs is given as follows: Lumber,
$438,746.79; clapboards,$8,046.00 ; laths,
$84,111.62 ; pickets, $223.63; shingles,
$77,910.21 ; shooks, $1,008.00.
There is a slight stiffening of the shingle
market at Buffalo, says the American
Lumberman, on account of the good de-
mand, but it looks as though it will take
some time before the red cedar demorali-
zation will cease, and until it shall there
will be few others sold here, especially as
it is taking redwoods so long to come
through by rail. Dealers say that there
is no accumulation of stock yet and pos-
sibly when it may become necessary to
order more freely for the winter supply
there will be a general firming up of the
prices and the trouble will be over.
Fourteen cars of white pine arrived in
Port Arthur, Ont., recently, over the line
of the Canadian Northern Railway, des-
tined for Glasgow, Scotland, to be used
for ship-building. The pine, which had
been squared, averaged 35 feet in length
and 22 inches on the face. Some of the
pieces were 50 feet long. The timber was
put into the water, loaded on vessels and
taken to Quebec, where it will be trans-
shipped into one of the ocean liners. This
is said to be the first material which has
been shipped all the way from the head of
the lakes to be used for the construction
of ocean carriers.
The Barbados market is thus reviewed
by S. P. Musson, Son & Company, under
date of July 4th: “The only arrival to
note is the ‘‘Foster Rice” with 40,000 feet
shipping and 72,000 feet second quality

HIGH PRICES FOR LOGS.
The annual sale of unmarked logs rafted
by the Fredericton Boom Company this
season took place at Fredericton, N. B.,
on July 22nd. Great interest was taken
in the sale, as was evidenced by the large
number of lumbermen present, among
whom were W. H. Murray, A.H. Hilyard,
Chas. Miller and Fred Miles, St. John ;
R. A. Estey, T. Lynch, Donald Fraser,
jr., Robert Aitkin, John A. Morrison, John
Kilburn, Jacob Hazleton and T. E. Bab-
itt, of Fredericton; Wm. Hennebury, of
the Fredericton Boom Company ; George
Perley, of Maugerville; Parker Glasier,
M. P. P., of Lincoln, and others. Bidding
was lively at times, and competition was
keen, on account of the scarcity of lum.
ber at present. Prices went a little above
the average for the spruce lumber, which
sold at the high figure of $13 per thousand.
The first lot for sale was 153 pieces of
unmarked hemlock, 11,360 feet, and 7,620
feet of mixed, which was bid in by R. A.
Estey, of Fredericton, for $4.50 per
thousand. The next lot offered for sale
was 1,860 pieces, containing 60,930 feet of
unmarked and 6,510 feet of mixed cedar.
There was some sharp bidding on this,but
it was finally knocked down to Charles
Miller, of St. John, at the figure of $10.25
per thousand.
One hundred and twenty-nine pieces of
pine, containing 10,490 feet unmarked and
560 feet mixed, was bid in by G. A. Per-
ley, of Maugerville, for $11.25 per thous-
and. The keenest competition was for
the spruce logs, of which there were 5,903
pieces, containing 301,544 feet of market-
able and 42,216 condemned, all unmarked,
and 44,335 feet of mixed. After some
sharp bidding the spruce was knocked
down to Charles Miller, of St. John, who
was bidding for John E. Moore, at the
high figure of $13 per thousand.
CROWN TIMBER SALE.
There is to be an extensive sale of tim-
ber on Crown lands in New Ontario dur-
ing the latter part of the summer or in the

of dozens of new townships has been in-
early autumn of this year.
vading the region of the forests, and in
consequence the danger that sections of
them will be wiped out by fire is great-
and is constantly increasing, although the
fire ranging is as stringent as possible.
It is therefore considered wiser policy to
turn some of the exposed timber into a
cash asset of the Province as speedily as
possible. The locations of the townships
and parcels of land off which the timber is
to be sold will be announced by the Crown
Lands Department as soon as possible, so
that all intending buyers may have an
ample opportunity of sizing up the proper-
ties for themselves.
INCREASED STUMPAGE DUES.
A. T. Dunn, Surveyor General
of New Brunswick, has given notice to
licensees of crown
Hon.
limber lands and
others interested that he will on August
5th hold a conference of lumbermen
and others at Fredericton, for the pur-
pose of considering the advisability of

lumber destroyed was a small quantity in-
side the mill. The loss is about $2,000,
partly covered by insurance. They will
probably rebuild.
The lumber yard of George Wilson &

$35,000, largely covered by insurance.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The first days of August have witnessed
no material change in the lumber market.
The buying has been confined chiefly to
small lots for sorting up purposes. The
tone of the market, however, is steady,
with indications of a satisfactory trade
during the fall months. The scarcity of
cars has rendered it impossible to keep
shipments up to orders. It is feared that
the car shortage this fall may again
seriously interfere with business, as it has
developed earlier than usual this season.
In pine the most urgent call is for box
and mill culls, the supply of which has
been greatly reduced by the heavy buying
which has been in evidence for some time
past. Prices of these grades, as might be
expected, are exceptionally firm. Dress-
ing is also in good demand. The con-
sumption ofhemlock lumber continues to
be heavy, and higher prices are predicted
by some manufacturers. Basswood, elm
and maple sell more readily than the
other hardwoods, although the general
hardwood situation is one of considerable
strength. Buyers willingly meet the
prices asked by manufacturers. This is
probably due to the fact that the latter
have pursued a conservative policy and
have not advanced prices to an unreason-
able basis.
There has been no improvement in the
shingle situation, and until the supply of
red cedars held by Ontario dealers shall
become reduced conditions promise to be
unsettled. For pine shingles the mills are
asking $2.70 for XXX, $1.90 for XX, and
65 cents for X.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,
Prices for spruce lumber are being main-
tained, by necessity if not by demand.
The feeling among manufacturers is that
a material decline in prices is out of the
question on account of the increased cost
of stumpage and labor. At the present
time very few sales of British deals are
taking place,for the reason that the British
market has responded slowly to the high
There is a dis-
position to restrict the production of lum-
ber intended for that market and to give
more attention to shipments to the West
Indies, France, Australia and the United
States. Should there be a general falling
off in the lumber demand, the manufac-
prices ruling on this side.
turers claim that they are in a position to
restrict the log production during the
coming winter. There are about 30,000,000
feet of logs hung up on the St. John River
in New Brunswick, the greater part of
which will not come out this year.
Smaller quantities of logs are hung up on
the streams in Nova Scotia.
The shingle demand is not altogether
satisfactory, although there is an under-
current of strength, due to the attitude
assumed by the large manufacturers, who
refuse to accept offers lower than $3.40
for extras on Boston rate of freight. It is
believed that shingles will strengthen later
in the season, but at the moment the de-
mand is scarcely equal to the offerings.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
The country demand for lumber through-
out Manitoba and the Territories has
slackened, as the farmers are devoting
their time to preparations for harvesting
of the crops. The total yield of wheat by
the Canadian North-West is estimated at
60,000,000 bushels, a slight decrease from
that of last year, but still a bountiful crop.
When the harvest is gathered an increased
demand for lumber will doubtless arise.
In Winnipeg the chief call is for finishing
material, many of the buildings com-
menced early in the year being well on
towards completion. Y
The settlement of the labor troubles in
Vancouver was followed by a quick re-

vival in building operations. Confidence
has been restored and money is easier.
The mills have many orders for lumber on
their books. The logging industry, how-
ever, continues in an unsatisfactory con-
dition, chiefly on account of the depression
in the shingle trade. Many of the logging
camps are closed down. It is understood
that the Provincial Government have noti-
fied the Loggers’ Association that the law
prohibiting the exportation of logs to the
United States must stand.

sued.
UNITED STATES.
The lumber demand throughout the
United States is irregular ; some districts
report an increase in the volume of trade,
others a falling off. At Duluth and Phila-
delphia prices of white pine are said to be
slightly easier. There has been no general
weakness, however, and business is about
as good as could be expected at this season
of the year. Farmers are engaged in
harvesting the crop and will not be in the
market for. lumber until the early fall.
The wheat harvested shows a good yield
and the promise is for an average crop.
The yield of corn will perhaps be slightly
Jess than last year.
Stocks of lumber are accumulating to
some extent. This is not regarded in an
unfavorable light, as in the past many of
the mills have been handicapped in mak-
ing shipments on account of scarcity of
certain grades. Chicago dealers report a
better trade and less pressure to sell.
Norway pine is in light supply and strong.
There still prevails a disposition to advance
the price of demension. It is claimed that
not more than half of the regular supply
of demension is being turned out by the
mills, nearly everybody cutting inch
lumber almost exclusively. Thus the
shortage of dimension promises to be
further increased. Spruce lumber sells
readily. Throughout the Eastern States
clapboards are worth $45, $43 and $40.
The list for car frames from the mills is
unchanged at $19 for ordinary and $21 for
12-inch.
A very satisfactory movement of hard-
wood lumber is reported. Stocks in many
varieties are still scarce. In quartered
white oak it is said that the greatly in-
creased amount of dry stock available has

in the slightest. Soft elm and birch are
selling very freely. The supply of bass-
wood has increased, although it is still be-
low normal. Maple is slightly lower, but
the demand is keeping up well. Manu-
facturers of maple flooring have shaded
prices, resulting in an increased volume of
orders. Laths are slightly weaker. In

GREAT BRITAIN,
The reports of the British lumber mar-
ket this week are not of an entirely satis-
factory character. The consumption does
not show the improvement which had been
hoped for, and sellers have found it diffi-
cult to place large blocks of stock, the
tendency being to purchase for immediate
requirements only. There is a desire to
buy cheaper kinds of lumber instead of
pine deals whenever it is at all possible to
do so. At the last public sale in London
prices ruled steady, 3 x 9 spruce bringing
410 tos per standard. A favorable feature
is the fact that importers are beginning to
recognize that there will be no fall in the
price of Canadian !umber this year. A
writer in the Timber News expresses a
favorable view of spruce in the following
words: “Spruce values are steadily im-
proving, and although the number of reg-
ular buyers at the auction sales is not
great, the competition among them is ex-
ceedingly keen. Many buyers who have
been waiting for a fall are very sorry they
did not accept the advice offered in these
columns some months ago, when we urged
spruce consumers to stock up.’’ The same
writer, after referring to the shortage in
the log supply in Maine and New Bruns-
wick, says: ‘‘This extra demand from the
United States spells higher prices all
round, and coming on top of the existing
Canadian shortage gives both manufac-
turers and shippers much the best of the
strong position. In view of these circum—
stances, all tending in the direction of
reduced supplies abroad and higher quota-
tions here, would it not be greater wis-
dom for British consumers to promptly
cover their reasonable wants for the
present year?”

$11.00 to $11.50 during the spring. There
is a good demand, however, at the lower

The Edward Hines Lumber Company,
of Chicago, have taken a contract from
the Barnett & Record Company for 8,000
40-foot piles for the Canadian Northern
Railroad, to be delivered at Port Arthur,
Ont., within thirty days. The piles are to
be used for the foundations of elevators.
The piling is about the only wood used in
the work and the contract is one of the
largest undertaken this year.
Cooperage supplies are scarce. Second-
class elm staves are lowest in stock and
with a good apple crop in sight, prices
promise to advance. There is a slight
advance in staves and heading, first-class
elm flour and apple barrel staves selling in
Buffalo at $9.50 to $9.75; mill run elm,
$7.25 to $7.50; second-class, $5.50 to

$6 to $6.75.
Under date of July 18th Messrs. S. P,
Musson, Son & Company say of the Bar-

vals to note are a small lot by fhe schooner
“Talmouth”, not yet on offer, and the
schooner “Rhoda”, from Liverpool, N.S.,
with 212,000 feet, which was contracted
for some time ago. The stock is moder-
ate and fair prices should be maintained
for both shipping and second quality pine.
The demand for spruce is over. The “Tal-

LARGE CAR LOAD OF SHINGLES.
Messrs. H. J. Hall & Son, of Berlin,
Ont., write: ‘‘We noticed in the weekly
edition of the LUMBERMAN of July 2oth,
that J. M. Green & Son, of St. Thomas,
Ont., received a car of B. C. shingles with
270,000 on it, and freight of $300.00. We
received a car in June with 360,250
shingles, with freight of $361.05. This,
we think, is the King car, and hard to
beat for quantity.”
THE SPRUCE LOG SUPPLY.
The prospects of securing an ample
supply of logs for the mills of Maine have
improved during the past week, although
it is still feared that there will be a con-
siderable shortage. On the Chaudiere
river it is reported there are 50,000,000
feet of logs hung up, and at considerable
expense operators are building a dam in
the hope of raising sufficient water to float
the logs. The same thing is in contem-
plation, says the American Lumberman,
on the Salmon river, where 25,000,000
feet are hung up.
It is regarded as certain that about 10,-
000,000 feet of the East branch logs, be-
longing to Marsh, Lawlor & Murphy, will
be left above Grand Lake until fall and
probably until next spring. The rear of
the Kennebec drive left the Forks on July
21, and although two weeks behind the
usual time, it is thought they will reach
the boom as early as last year.
OOOO
It is reported that Minneapolis capital-
ists have purchased a large interest in the
Hastings Shingle Manufacturing Com-
pany, of Vancouver, B. C. It is stated
that there will be no change in the man-
agement of the mills and that they will be
conducted as formerly. The company own
a saw mill, planing mill and two shingle
mills at Vancouver and four shingle mills
in Washington.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
THE WHITE PINE SITUATION.
Northern white pine continues strong,
with visible supplies much below the aver-
age, in some items this running to actual
scarcity, and the demand all that could be
asked for during the midsummer season.
The Mississippi Valley Lumberman says
that Northern Minnesota mills with few
exceptions notice little let-up in business.
The demand from Canadian points is still
active. Thousands of new settlers have
gone into Manitoba and the Canadian
mills being unable to meet the call,
quantities have to be shipped across the
border. Manufacturers in the northern
part of Minnesota report the situation as
being very strong. Prices are as well
maintained as at any time of the year.
Some of the mills in central Minnesota
state trade has eased off a little, but this
was looked for at an earlier date. Du-
luth has been somewhat quiet and the
movement of lumber has not been heavy.
There is considerable inquiry, however.
Sales appear to be up to what could be
expected and there is some stock moving
all the time. The bulk of the spring saw-
ing is not yet dry enough to ship and the
larger part of the winter cut has been sold.
A trifling decline in some few grades is
noted, but as a whole the market is in
very fair shape.
ing below Minneapolis report no change
in the situation. Trade is not heavy but
prospects are good. Values in that se>-
tion appear to be holding firm. The Iowa
dealers are making more inquiry for stock
than was the case three weeks ago.

Manufacturers operat-
No change is noted in the Minneapolis
price situation. Values on nearly all items
are well maintained. Dimension of about
all sizes continues scarce and some few
items cannot be picked up. There is plenty
of inch stock to supply present require-
ments. With favorable sawing conditions
stocks show continued improvement in
both assortment and size.
It would seem that this fall white pine
people will feel little competition from the
southern yellow pine manufacturers. In
the south is noted a severe and growing
scarcity of railway equipment. Lack of

THE BOSTON MARKET.
The market at Boston for spruce lum-
ber is still very quiet, and yet the situation
is fully as strong as previously noted.

quent delay in shipments helps to main-

CaNADA LOMBERMAN WEEKLY EDIrONn
TIMBER LIMIT TRANSACTIONS.
George Schneider, of Maryboro, Ont.,
has sold 400 acres of land and his saw
mill to Charles Neilsou for the sum of
$18,800.
The Victoria Times states that John
Hanbury, formely of Brandon but now of
Vancouver, has purchased 3,850 acres of
timber lands on the Sechelt Inlet, British
Columbia, from the Thomson Estate of
Hamilton, Ont. It is said that $5 an acre
was paid for the timber, which is cedar
and fir of fine quality.
The sale of timber limits to be held this
fall by the Ontario Government will, ac-
cording to report, be the largest since
1885. Inthe neighborhood of g00 square
miles, or 25 townships, will be offered.
Much of the timber is located along the
lines of the Temiskaming and Northern
Ontario, Central Canada and Bruce Mines
and Algoma Railways.
In the item ina recent issue in reference
to the purchase of extensive timber lands
on Vancouver Island, B. C., by an Ameri-
can syndicate, the area was inadvertently
given as 50 acres. This should have read
50,000 acres. Later reports state that the
price was $12 an acre, although no official
announcement has yet been made. It is
said that M. King, of Victoria, has an op-
tion On 150,000 acres at the same price.
The name of the Edwin S. Hartwell Lum-
ber Company, Chicago, has been changed
to the Hermann H. Hettler Lumber Com-
pany, the officers of which are: President,
Hermann H. Hettler; vice-president, J. L.
Philip ; secretary, E. L. Casey.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The lumber market has developed a
slightly irregular tendency, although there
isno general weakness. In pine the de-
mand is chiefly for the export and lower
grades. Box lumber continues to be
bought eagerly, although it was expected
that the large purchases earlier in the
season would have supplied the require-
ments of the box trade. Wide boards of
first quality suitable for the European
market are particularly scarce. The only
weakness is confined to cutting-up grades.
The demand for lumber for building pur-
poses has slackened, which is, no doubt,
responsible in large part for the dullness
of the medium grades of pine. Mill run,
1x4. and 5, is held at $18 at the mill. The
higher prices predicted for thick hemlock
have not yet materialized. While some
manufacturers have held for higher prices,
there has been a sufficient quantity of
stock offering at current quotations to
prevent the advance becoming at ll
general. Hardwood lumber is quite as
good property as earlier in the year.
There continues to be good buying by
local implement and furniture manufac-
turers, as well as for export to the Eastern
States. A considerable quantity of birch
has been shipped to Buffalo. The shingle
market still exhibits signs of weakness,
but recent developments have been favor-
able to white pines, which will be in a
stronger position after the red cedar
situation has become brighter.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Prices of timber at Quebec continue
very strong, the light production having
encouraged manufacturers to oppose any
drop in values. The quantity of waney
pine timber received at Quebec this season
is 500,000 cubic feet less than for the cor-
responding period of last year. Decreases
are shown in other kinds as follows:
Square white pine, 10,000 cubic feet ;
red pine, 25,000 cubic feet ; oak, 150,000
cubic feet; elm, 300,000 cubic feet.
Birch and maple are the only woods that
show an increased production. The
The total ship-
ments Of spruce lumber from St. John to
trans-Atlantic ports during the first six
months of this year were 76,000,000 feet.
This is a decrease and reflects ihe extent
to which lumber has been diverted to the
United States market. Two or three
large cargoes have recently been shipped
to Ireland.
Spruce market is quiet.
An event which promises to help the
lumber industry is the recent formation of
an association by the lumbermen of New
Brunswick. This step was brought about
in part by the proposal ot the Government
to increase the stumpage dues to $1.50
per thousand feet, an advance which in
the opinion of the lumber trade is not
warranted.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
Nothing has occurred within the past
week to disturb the lumber market of
Manitoba and the Territories. Heavy
shipments are being received by dealers
from British Columbia. Up to August tst
of this year the building permits issued in
Winnipeg aggregated almost $3,500,000,
a showing which is unprecedented and
which clearly explains the large consump-
tion of lumber. Shingles continue weak,

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EBD{SION
The manufactures of British Columbia held
a meeting on August 7th and decided to
check further over-production by closing
down all the shingle mills from August
15th the situation was
This step should at once have a beneficial
effect upon the market. The demand for
timber ‘limits has also slackened, there
until relieved.
being but three applications for licenses
to cut timber off Government lands during
the week ending August 1. Many of the
logging camps are still closed down.
The Premier has wisely decided not to
nterfere with the operation of the law
prohibiting the export of logs. It is
pointed out that the over-production of
logs in Washington is just as great as in
British Columbia, and that the loggers
could not find a market for their production
even if the export embargo were removed.
UNITED STATES.
A few days ago it was reported that
white pine prices at the head of the lakes
had weakened. Late advices do not
altogether confirm thisreport. There has
been a slight softening in prices of the
upper grades, but this has been offset by
the increased strength of the lower quali-
ties. At Tonawanda and Philadelphia an
advance of 50 cents has been made on
nearly every grade below intermediate.
While the demand generally has been of a
quiet character, sales at Duluth during the
first week of August were quite heavy. It
is estimated that fully 15,000,000 feet of
various grades of merchantable lumber
were contracted for, and many manufac-
turers are now sold up to the saws. It is
said that sales have been at very satisfac-
tory prices. A lot of No. 3 pine was sold
at $15. Ohio dealers report that low grade
lumber has-been moving freely, and that
No. 3 and No. 4 boards are strong, with
a very light stock in sight. Chicago is
experiencing a steady trade and the out-
look is good for fall business. Spruce is
very strong in New York. Prices are now
the highest ever known. At Boston and
other eastern points the
strong, though less lumber is moving.
The growing strength of common and
plain sawed oak and the scarcity of elm
are the features of the hardwood market.
Bnyers are unable to find a sufficient
supply of 1% inch elm and prices are
strong. Maple in the same size is by no
means plentiful. Basswood is holding its
own, the increase in supply having as yet
had no visible effect upon the price.
Any change in the shinge demand has
been in the direction of improvement.
Shingles of good quality find a ready
market, but there is a considerable stock

not up to standard, anc these may have to

More activity in shingles
GREAT BRITAIN.
Although the holiday season is at its
height, there has been of late a slight in-
crease in the consumption of lumber at
-ondon and Liverpool, which is taken to
reflect the conditions throughout the
United Kingdom. The outlook in timber-
consuming industries is considered bright,
and it is probable that the fall will witness
increased activity. Canadian lumber of
all kinds seems to be in a strong position.
All the available stocks have been cleared
and there is little in first hands for buy-
ers to select from. The position of the
Canadian import, according to the Timber
Trades Journal, is quite abnormal, the
trade usually counting upon a considerable
quantity of New Brunswick spruce about
this time ; but this season fewer cargoes
have come forward than for many years
past. No pine whatever has been shipped
on consignment, consequently the tend-
ency of values is towards a further ad-
The standard sizes in first and
second quality are now held at higher
figures than at any previous time this
season. Third and fourth quality are in
vance.
larger supply and consequently prices do
not show the same degree of strength as
those of the better grades. The position
of spruce has changed within a week.
There is absolutely little or nothing to
offer for arrival until the season is more
advanced, and then the supplies are ex-
pected to be short of the average to an
extent that has not been witnessed for
some years. Some buyers apparently kept
out of the market on the belief that the low
rates of freight would encourage ship-
ments. This, however, has not been the
case. It is claimed that the low freight
rates are due to the fact that there is
less lumber to be shipped across the
Atlantic. There is a good inquiry for red
pine, rock elm and oak. Birch is in large
supply and slightly easier.

the end of June was but trifling, has been

goes augmenting the meagre supplies

done in hardwoods of all descriptions from
the United States, and prices of poplar
lumber particularly have been well main-
tained. The house building trade in the
city and neighbourhood continues brisk,
and a considerable amount of work is on
hand.
Wuite Pine.—There has been a con-
siderable import during the month, aggre-
gating 1400 loads, practically the whole of
which came in during the last week by the
steamer ‘‘ Janeta,” first

of any importance, and business has been
quiet.
Rep Pine.—The import has only been
of a trifling nature, but the demand being
extremely limited, the present small stock
is sufficient for immediate requirements at
least.
Oaxk.—Several transactions of nice lines
of Quebec timber were completed during
the early part of the month, but the import
has been on the heavy side, about 1100
loads. Second class and southern wood
is slow of sale, but a fair Cemand is in
evidence for good large Quebec logs.
Ex_m.—There have been no transactions
worthy of mention, and the demand being
somewhat restricted, the stock, which is
further increased by this month's import,
is more than ample for probable require-
ments.

and 120 standards planks. Value of 15-
inch is about 16d., and of planks about
rid.
Asu.—The import for July is compara-
tively trifling, and it just as well that this
is so, for there is very little demand for it
nowadays. There is still some old stock
in the market unsold, and this is being
offered for sale at considerably under im-
port cost.
DEALS, Erc.—Only a limited volume of
business has been done, but this to a large
extent is on account of the holidays, as
supplies have been coming forward much
more freely. Broad 1st pine deals find a
ready market, and recent small arrivals
have all been disposed of from shipsside.
Low quality deals, however, are receiving
but scant attention. Prices remain un-
altered and firm, current values being :

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The past week has been an uneventful
one in lumber circles. There has been
less activity in shipments and fewer in-
quiries. The outlook for fall trade is not
altogether promising, although taken in
conjunction with the quantity of lumber for
sale the conditions cannot be called un-
satisfactory. So much of the season’s
production has already been contracted
for that manufacturers. are not seriously
concerned as to the disposal of the bal-
ance. There is little doubt that the de-
mand will absorb the supply before the
cut for next season is ready for the mar-
ket. It may be said that there is an en-
tire absence of uneasiness in respect to
white pine lumber, for the market for that
lumber‘has*so expanded within the past
year or two that it is more a question of
where the supply can be obtained than
how the production can be disposed of.
As to immediate demand, buyers appear
to think that lumber is about as high as it .
will get and that nothing can_be lost by
holding off. On the other hand, the fact
that prices are ruling firm shows the con-
fidence the manufacturers and wholesalers
have in the future of the market. In the
Ottawa district pine shorts are firmer. A
car shortage is again feared this fall and
a few dealers are aiming to forestall the
shortage by placing orders for their fall
and winter requirements earlier than
usual.
policy.
Reports from the Georgian Bay are
that the drives are making splendid pro-
gress and that very few logs are likely to
be hung up. There is a great scarcity of
men for operations in the woods, which
may again curtail the production.
This would seem to be a wise
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The strong position of spruce in the
Eastern States has done much to help out
the situation in the Maritime Provinces.
It has been possible to dispose of all good
lumber to advantage and manufacturers
have been largely independent of the
British market. It must not be supposed,
however, that the European trade has
been neglected, as considerable shipments
have been made to France and Spain as
well as to Great Britain. There is an
urgent demand for wide spruce and per-
sons having such stock for sale find no
difficulty in obtaining a slight advance

upon recent quotations. Clapboards are
very firm at the prices quoted. So far as
this class of stock is concerned the maiket
is entirely in the hands of the shipper.
New Brunswick cedar are
quoted at from $3.40 to $3.50 for extras
on Boston rate of freight. An occasional
order is accepted at five to ten cents be-
low this figure, but the large manufactur-
ers are halding out for $3.50 and predict
that at an early date the price will be
firmly established on that basis. For this
reason orders for late delivery are turned
down.
shingles
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
Owing to the congestion of the shingle
market, the members of the British Col-
umbia Lumber and Shingle Manufacturers’
Association decided to suspend operations.
On Saturday last, August 15th, all the
shingle mills were closed down and will re-
main idle until the situation has sufficiently
improved to warrant a resumption of work.
The closing down of the mills will doubt-
less be followed by a suspension of opera-
tions in several logging camps, and the
total number of men thus thrown out of
employment will be quite large. It seemed
absolutely necessary, however, to curtail
the shingle production, which had been
greatly increased within the past year by
the erection of several new mills. The
lumber demand is of average volume and
prices steady. Seventy-seven licenses for
cutting timber were issued by the British
Columbia Government during July.
UNITED STATES.
The month of August so far has turned
out about as expected. The volume of
business does not compare favorably with
the corresponding period of last year, but
still there is very little complaint of un-
satisfactory trade. The crops have de-
teriorated slightly within the past month,
but promise an average yield. It seems
to be the general opinion that prices of
white pine are not likely to advance to a
higher basis this season. For this reason
consumers are showing no anxiety to add
to their holdings, but on the other hand
are disposed to wait until necessity com-
pels them to purchase.
tions generally are favorable. A large
consumption of lumber by the Eastern
States is expected this fall, as most of the
building strikes have been settled. The
lower grades of pine are selling somewhat
readily, the consumption being large. A
Buffalo firm reports the sale of half a
million feet of Lake Superior No. 3 boards,
12-inch, for $20.50 on board the barge.
The price of 12-inch box is still $20. Stock
is accumulating rapidly at Buffalo and
Tonawanda, but the poorer grades, es-
pecially box and barn, are still inpufficient
to supply the demand.
dealers are not buying to any extent, as
most of them have a sufficient stock to
care for the fall trade. The spruce de-
mand is as firm as ever and prices slightly

stock.
Hemlock prices continue to be very
stiff. In some districts hemlock lumber is
being supplanted by North Carolina pine.
Buffalo reports great activity in hemlock
on the base price of $16.
Shingle prices are practically unchang-
ed. There is a disposition to hold shingles
for the improvement which is expected in
the fall. In the Saginaw Valley cedar
shingles are held at $2.60 and $3.60 for
18-inch stock and $2 and $2.45 for 16-inch.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The holiday season in Great Britain has
resulted in a falling off in the lumber de-
mand. The consumption, however, has
been equal to the import, and stocks are
no heavier than one month ago. The
high prices of first quality pine and spruce
deals have been maintained. Pine deals
are almost invariably sold from the quay,
which has prevented any accumulation of
stock. Importers who make a specialty
of this branch of business state that they
have no lack of orders. There is more
uncertainty about fourth quality pine, the
supply of which is comparatively large.
Very little spruce arrives at either London
or Liverpool that has not already been
contracted for. The receipts of 3x9 and
11 inch have been exceptionally small.
A writer in the Timber News urges
prospective buyers to place their orders
at current figures.
mense Quebec output is a vision of the
past, and the enormous rise in all prime
log stuff is at length reacting much more
perceptibly with regard to sawn deals,
boards and scantling. It may appear and
indeed is an absurdity for consumers here
to be quoted £45 per standard for best
broad pines, with £35 for all 11x3; but
in view of the facts already adduced, how-
ever, and having respect to the improving
quotations of other competing woods, we
are strongly of opinion that the buyer will
have to be content for the present to re-
main entirely in the hands of the seller.
The small quantities available in all prime
stocks is another dominant factor to be
remembered. While it must be admitted
that a considerable percentage of con-
sumers have been able to divert a portion
of their wants to other woods, and to sub-
stitute canary whitewood, cottonwood,
kauri and sequoia for pine lumber, there
sul exists a sufficient number of buyers

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA I,UMBERMAN.)
The midsummer lassitude has had its
effect on the lumber trade in Ottawa and
district, and while cutting operations at
the mills have been brisk, the movement
of lumber at least to the United States
has been slow. The past few days have
ushered in an improved condition of
affairs in some yards, but a substantial all
round improvement is looked for with the
advent of September days and the return
of the American buyer from his vacation.
The New York and Eastern States build-
ing strikes had a lot to do with the falling
off in local lumber business when it should
have been at its best.
Labor troubles have certainly played the
deil with the export lumber business of
this district, butnow that the difterences be-
tween employer and employee in depend-
ent lines of trade, have been straightened
out, local shippers look forward to busy
doings.
The millmen up the C. P. Railway, at
Pembroke, Cache Bay and other points,
report a rush in the movement of lumber
The dock labor-
ers’ strike earlier in the season is respon-
sible for this rush, as purchasers who held
off their consignments then are now clam-
oring with one voice to have them rushed
through.
Inquiry amongst local and visiting lum-
bermen anda scrutiny of several bills of
lumber, failto show any change from the
quotations running for the past fortnight.
Pine shorts are a trifle firmer, showing an
advance ofa dollar a thousand on medium
to Montreal for export.
grades. On pine sidings the mill quota-
tions run from $16.50 to $19.00 per M.
Other lines, however, warrant no change.
One dealer who returned this week from a
trip in the New England States reported
that Georgia and
other southern pine was being substituted
wherever _ possible
for Canadian white pine on account of the
stiff prices asked for the latter.
In both lath and shingles hereabouts
trade is quite, particularly so with shingles,
This depression is probably responsible for
the fixed figures in the price list.
It is early yet to make a forecast of
figures for the future. Inquiries for deals
are being made, however, but no figures
are mentioned.
Local lumbermen are taking great in-
terest in the big sale of limits to be held
by the Ontario Government in Toronto on
December gth. Discussing it to-day, one
prominent holder expressed regret that
the Provincial Government had inserted a
clause requiring the removal of all timber
within ten years. He characterized it as
a needless sacrifice of an asset of ever in-
creasing value. It is felt that the sale will
be the means of introducing several new
companies into the business, this being
made possible by the division of town-
ships for sale into small lots.
Speaking on the question of limits a day
or SO ago, an operator who recently paid
$350,000 for a tract of white pine in the
Nipissing country, gave it as his opinion
that the present price of pine on the
stump would hold, no matter how the
price of the manufactured article might
fluctuate. Judging from the figures
quoted on recent sales of limits, his opin-
ion is held in common by the majority.
The standing pine is being cut in some
limits faster than is imagined, and at a
pace that outdistances natural reproduc-
tion. As an instance, in the Kippewa
district the coming season's cut of waney
and square timber will be considerably less
than that of last season.
The call for the lumber jack is heard in
the land.
profess no difficulty in securing men,
Some of the lumber companies
while others say they are having trouble.
The lateness of the Ontario harvest and
the exodus to the Northwest, to both of
which are attached high wages, have
combined to deplete the available supply
of lumbermen. With the completion of
the harvesting operations, however, the
situation will be relieved. A number of
the firms having retained the names of
last season's good hands, are re-engaging

many of which are being hired here.
Everything is moving briskly up in the
Georgian Bay district, and the late logs
are coming along satisfactorily. A sale
of limits is reported from Thessalon. N. &
A. Dyment, of that town, sold two town-
ships recently to George Neibergall &

have a record cut this season, amounting,
it is expected, to fully 20,000,000 feet. It
is mostly intended for the English and
South African market, but Buffalo will get
some. The red pine goes to Watson &
Todd, Liverpool, and the white pine to the
W. C. Edward Company.
The Pembroke Lumber Company’s mill
has been shut down at night, and the gang
sent forward to work in the camps. The
Shephard & Morse mill at Hintonburg was
also shut down on night operations on
August 19, 1903
account of the exhaustion of the log sup-
ply. It will resume night work shortly,
however, as more logs are on the way.
The recent accident at Fraser & Com-
pany's new mill, whereby the power house
was laid in ruins by a cyclone, will delay
the commencement of cutting operations
about six weeks or two months.
LUMBER SHIPMENTS TO THE
UNITED STATES.
The shipments of lumber from Canada
to the United States continue to increase.
The last statement compiled covers the
eleven months ending May 31st, 1903.
The export in that period was 653,358,000
feet, valued at $9,603,274, as compared
with 594,596,000 feet, ot a value of $8,253,-
168, for the eleven months ending May
gist, 1902. This is an increase of over
58,000,000 feet. There is also a steady
increase in the value of lumber exported,
the average price this year being 15 per
cent. higher than in 1901 and 6 per cent.
above that in 1902.
The increase in value and amount of
shingles exported is about in line with
that in lumber, except that the price is in-
creasing at a greater ratio than the vol-
ume. The export for eleven months end-
ing May gist for three years was as fol-
lows: 1903, 653,487,000 shingles ; 1902,
624,736,000 ; 1901, 483,946,000. The aver-
age value for the three years was $2.06,
$1.92 and $1.85.

TIMBER LIMIT TRANSACTIONS.
Richard Keay & Company have bought
the Hanbury timber limit in the Duck
Mountain district, Manitoba, and will oper-
ate it in future.
Christie & Fraser, of Victoria, B. C.,
have purchased from the Erie Milling
Company their timber limits and: logging
outfit on Guilford Island, the purchase
price being in the neighborhood of
$15,000. There are some 12,000 acres
of timber lands.
It is rumored that American capitalists
are negotiating for the purchase of the
timber limits and mills of the William
Richards Company at Campbellton,
Chatham and Boiestown, N. B. It is also
stated that an American syndicate has an
option on the properties of the Edward
Sinclair Company, of Newcastle, N. B.
The Michigan Land & Lumber Com-
pany, of Blind River, Ont., are reported
to have sold about one-half of their timber
limits in the Algoma district to the Morgan
Lumber Company, of Toronto. The
limits sold are estimated to contain be-
tween 65,000,000 and 75,000,000 feet of
timber and the deal includes the logging
outfit of the Michigan Company. The
consideration to be $300,000
cash. The company still holds three
townships estimated to contain 75,000,000
feet, but it is unlikely they will operate
is said
the coming winter.
Michael McAvoy, of Burks Falls, Ont.,
has the contract for taking out piles for
the new government dock at that place.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
If present trade is any criterion of the
fall demand, an active lumber businéss
may be expected. No one complains of
more than seasonable dullness, while the
number of inquiries received indicates an
early change for the better. Investigation
leads to the conclusion that the stocks of
dealers and consumers are generally light
and in need of replenishment. Buyers
have held off in the hope of being able to
purchase to better advantage, and being
unsuccessful are now disposed to accept
the inevitable. The proposed increase in
pine stumpage dues is not indicative of
lower prices for lumber.
There is an active demand for low grade
pine, particularly box lumber and mill
culls. The ccnsumption of box Jumber
this season has been exceptionally heavy,
box factories being operated to theit
utmost capacity.
culls is equally strong. The price at the
mills in the Georgian Bay district is in the
neighborhood of $10.50 per thousand feet
This price has been paid by American
buyers. and with a duty of two dollars and
freight rate of from $1.50 to $2, means a
total cost for the stock laid in the yards on
the west coast of Lake. Huron of upwards

are uniformly firm, with singular strength ©

call for furniture manufacture. Basswood
is slightly more plentiful than earlier in the —
season, but still in short supply.
—_
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,
The past week has witnessed consider- —
able activity in lumber shipments from the
Eastern Provinces. Montreal exports have
been quite heavy, consisting chiefly of the
Ottawa valley production. The spruce ~
market maintains its strength. Boston is
a large buyer of clapboards even at the ©
high prices now ruling. There has lately 4
been received several inquiries for cargo |
lots of spruce lumber for shipment to New i
York, where the demand is quite active.
In some sections, principally eastern Nova ©
Scotia and Cape Breton, thereis a scarcity |
of spruce sheeting and flooring. i
It is necessary to quote a wider range ©
for New Brunswick cedar shingles, as the i
market is still unsettled. Small manu- ©
facturers are offering extras as low as
$3.35 for Boston delivery, while a few of ‘
the more prominent manufacturers are i

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
The general tone of the lumber market —
throughout the west is not as firm as it
was, although the demand is still of fair
proportions. Lower prices are predicted —
by some, while others argue that after the ©
crops are harvested the demand will be —
such as to keep prices steady. The
shingle mills in British Columbia which —
cater to the Canadian trade are now closed ©
down, in accordance with the general i
resolution, but those supplying the
American market are still in operation. —
The demand for sh ngles from the North- |
West has practically ceased temporarily. —
The position of loggers has not improved, —
one of the largest firms in the province ©
having been compelled to make an assign- —
ment within the past week.

tory orders. If labor matters at New
York should become permanently settled
for this season it would do much to still
further revive the eastern markets. Price
lists issued indicate that there has been no
weakness. Some Buffalo dealers are ask-
ing $100 for 6-inch white pine uppers, $94
for 4-inch, $80 for 2-inch and $75 for inch
selects. While receipts at that point have
been quite heavy stocks have not in-
creased to any extent. Business at Bay
City and Saginaw has improved during
the week. There is more inquiry for
lumber and some dealers who purcbased
earlier in the season are being offered an
advance of fifty cents a thousand on what
is still to be manufactured for them at the
mills. Much taken in the
meeting of the Mississippi Valley Lum-
bermen’s Association to be held this
week. The Association has been making
interest is
inquiry into stock conditions with the
object of revising the price list. It is
probable that an advance will be made in
the price of dimension, as everything
points to a serious shortage in this class
oflumber. The percentage of dimension
being sawed is very small and it is
thought that the production might be
stimulated by raising the price. The
hemlock manufacturers are also consider-
ing the question of advancing prices.
A decline in cargo spruce was pre-
dicted some time ago, but owing to the
fact that the logs have been slow in
reaching the mills the opposite condition
has resulted. Prices have stiffened ma-
terially, the supply being below the
demand and many mills refusing to quote
figures. Some ofthe Bangor mills have
sawed ali their logs. A freer movement
of spruce lumber may be expected in
September, and an easing off in prices
would not be unnatural.
Oak and basswood still lead among the
hardwoods, although the entire list is
active and firm. Our Buffalo quotations
this week show an advance of $2 in ash
and elm. Good ash is very scarce and is
being replaced by maple to some extent.
Birch is also selling quite freely.
GREAT BRITAIN.
It is difficult to reach a conclusion as to
the actual condition of the British lumber
trade. One usually reliable authority
states that the receipt of large shipments
mas taken the edge off the market and
hat prices are maintained only with
jifficulty. On the other hand, information
rom other sources indicates an improve-
ment in trade and a somewhat hopeful
eeling in regard to the outlook. Canadian
umber has been firm all season, and now
t is stated that White Sea shippers have
ibsolu‘ely refused any con-
essions whatever, stating that if they

rear the imports of sawn and
For the first seven months of this
planed
lumber were 2,919,921 loads, as against
2,899,963 loads for the corresponding
period of Jast year. Thus it will be seen
that the increased import is very slight.
As the consumption has been of average
volume, the stock on hand is not large.
The retail trade are placing orders more
liberally, having apparently realized that
there is not likely to be any material slump
in the prices of the best class of lumber.
First quality pine deals range from £25
to £31 per standard, while third quality
sell as low as£12. The strength of spruce
deals is frequently commented upon by
the trade. At some points, especially
Bristol and Liverpool, the stock of the
better grades is unusually low. Red pine
deals now command from £19 10s to £22
for first quality, and from £13 to £15 for
second quality. Some dealers are carry-
ing more than an ordinary stock of red
pine on account of its lower price in com-
parison with white pine, believing that the
demand for it will steadily grow. Waney
and square pine timber is in good demand
at high prices.

Of the lumber demand in the Barbadoes
Messrs. Clairmonte, Man & Company
say: ‘‘Just now our market for white pine
is moderately supplied. Last local sales
of small lots ex Talmouth was at $22.43 as
it runs. Last sale of spruce was at $17.29.
After our reaping season is over, the de-
mand for lumber, especially spruce, gen-
erally falls off. The last importation of
Gaspe long cedar shingles was 100,000
of small size from St. John, N. B., which
sold at $3.33 per M. Good large size are
worth $4.50 to $5. Cedar laying are held
at $2.24 to $3.20 according to quality, and
spruce laying at $2.24.”
The Mississippi Valley Lumberman thus
refers to the white pine lumber market :
“The white pine situation has shown
marked and decided improvement within
the past ten days or two weeks. This
fact is made apparent by the reports of
manufacturers in the two valleys. There
is but one strong reason for this. They
now more thoroughly appreciate the situa-
tion. During the past month a number of
large companies permitted their quotations
to sink considerably under list. Conces-
sions have even been made on items that
are in very small supply all over the
country. Something of the nature of panic
was experienced, though Statistically the
market should have been in the best cof
conditions.’ They were unable to with-
stand the many times repeated reports of
ccop failures and light demand for lumber.
Most of them appear to have come to their
senses again and the market to-day is
much stronger than it has been for some
time. There can be no doubt but that the
demand for pine has increased, principally
from the country trade. The line yards

are placing more numerous and heavier
orders than was the case three weeks ago
and this condition is also true of the
small dealer. Their confidence has been
restored by the late crop reports, which
show that the damage to grain in different
parts of the pine territory will not be as
large as expected. The wheat crop will
be of fair size and in addition wheat prices
are soaring, promising as heavy returns in
actual money as ever received by the
northern farmers.

BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
(Specia! Correspondence of the CANADA
LUMBERMAN.)
The lumber industry in all parts of Brit-
ish Columbia is in a fairly prosperous con-
dition.
shipments have been made by land and
For the past few months large
sea, and orders continue to cOme in, nec-
essitating some of the mills running over-
time to fill rush orders. Trade in Mani-
toba and the Territories is very satisfac-
tory and will likely continue so. Reports
of lumber agents in those parts state that
although the crops in Manitoba are not
equal to those of last year by at least
fifleen per cent.; the condition of buyers
financially is satisfactory and the price of
grain is higher than last year, which will
more than compensate for the shortage.
Prices for foreign shipments remain firm
and the demand fair.
In the shingle industry, there has been an
over-production, and the mills, with the
exception of two or three of the smaller
ones, have signed an agreement to shut
down for thirty days to relieve the situa-
tion. Many of the mills have been running
two shifts for some time and the market
has been temporarily overstocked. It is
not the intention of the Manulacturers’
Association to make any cut in price, and
eastern buyers who have been endeavor-
ing to “‘bear” the market are not likely to
accomplish their object, unless something
unforeseen occurs. The manufacturers
almost to a man are resolved on keeping
the prices firm, and there is little fear of
the price of shingles being lowered below
a fair profit-making basis.
The logging business has been over-
done. ‘‘Hot air” newspaper accounts of
the enormous profits that were to be made
in the business, induced inexperienced men
in the business to invest, with the conse-
quence that there were about one-third
more logs going into the water than the
mills had a market for. The result has
been that prices of the inferior grade of
logs have fallen $2.50 per thousand feet,
which practically places many of them be-
low cost. Some firms have already assign-
ed and more are likely to follow. Many of
those now in the business are closing
their camps and the industry will regain
its Jequilibrium sLortly. Over-booming
of the industries of British Columbia by
the press has its detrimental effects, and it
PINE

would be wisdom for intending investors
to make careful investigation as to where
a market for their product is to be found
before making investments in the lumber
and shingle industry. There are more
than enough mills in the Province to sup-
ply what Canadian trade comes to British
Columbia, and lumbermen here are prac-
tically shut out of the United States mar-
ket by the duty. On the other hand,
United States rough lumber and shingles
come into Canada free and in some in-
stances this country is made the dumping
ground for their surplus.
FOURTH QUALITY PINE.
It is pleasant to be able to report in
favor of consumers that the cullirg of pine
—especially in 3rd quality deals—is gen-
erally found to be satisfactory. Several
parcels which we have personally inspect-
ed are so good as to remind us of the
high-water mark of a few years ago. It
is evident, therefore, that £13 c.i.f. for an
ordinary specification of 3rd quality 3 in.
deals is leaving the maker a sufficient
margin of profit to raise the culling, and
thus in another form to help the British
importer to better please those he has to
cater for. The worst feature of the de-
mand is seen in the cabinet trade, in
which direction the bulk of the 4th quality

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The lumber business is fully up to normal
in volume and the outlook for the future is
satisfactory. There is evidence of buying
in anticipation of fall and winter require-
ments, some dealers being disposed to
place their orders earlier than usual in
order to forestall the car famine which
develops every fall. The lower grades of
white pine are moderately active, but
there is less call for the intermediate and
higher grades. Manufacturers still report
numerous inquiries for box lumber. The
advisability of making an advance in the
price of box grades bas been discussed,
but the general disposition seems to be to
pursue a policy of conservatism and en-
courage consumption by keeping prices
at a reasonable basis. A slight improve-
ment in Norway lumber is reported from
the Ottawa district. There continues to
be a heavy trade iv hemlock at unchanged
quotations, the attempt to advance certain
sizes having been frustrated by offerings
The hardwood
market is characterized by a short supply
in relation to the demand.
by the smaller mills.
Very few mills
are carrying more than a moderate stock,
while some of the largest manufacturers
are almost completely sold out.
Prices of white pine lath are tending
towards weakness. The demand is not
as large as might be expected at this
stason of the year, while the supply in
certain districts is comparatively large.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The lumber trade of the Eastern Pro-
vinces continues in a healthy condition.
There have been no recent sales of square
or waney timber, consequently the list is
unchanged. Large shipments of spruce
lumber are being made to the New York
market, where prices are about one dollar
per thousand higher than at last writing.
The den:and is fully equal to the supply,
with some sizes exceptionally scarce.
Laths are more active aud slightly higher.
New Brunswick cedar shingles are still
Fancy brands bring $3.50, but
the bulk of sales are probably being made
uncertain.
at $3.40 for Boston delivery. Clears range

UNITED STATES.
Dealers in pine Inmber were much in-
terested in the meeting of the Mississippi
Valley Lumbermen’s Association held last
week, for two reasons, first, that changes
in the price list would be considered, and,
secondly, on account of the statistics that
would be presented. The Price List Com-
mittee made cnly unimportant changes.
Dimension over 18 feet was advanced 50
cents, and piece stuff of ro-foot length
was made the same price as 12, 14 and 16
foot ; 6-inch No. 3 fencing, E siding and
lath were reduced 50 cents, and D siding
$1. The list, it may be said, remains
unchanged, as the advances in some lines
were offset by reductions in others. The
report of the secretary showed the pine
market to be in a strong position statis-
tically, with a pronounced scarcity of box
grades. Lumbermen are inclined to the
opinion that all the lumber manufactured
will find a market at prices now ruling.

GREAT BRITAIN.
The British lumber market does not yet
show any decided tendency. It is feared
that unless the consumption shall improve
lower prices will rule for Baltic lumber, of
which the quantity on hand in the leading
centres is somewhat large. A few cargoes
of pitch pine lumber have lately been re-
ceived at London on consignment, which
is not regarded as a favorable sign. These
affected Canadian

circumstances have

are in a strong position, and with an in-

Though there is a report of light buying
of various hardwood lumber in the eastern
markets, it is all laid to the midsummer
season, and there are already in-
dications of a return to the former
demand. All hardwoods, says the
Buffalo correspondent of the Ameri-
can Lumberman, doing _—well,

way to substitutes. The need of oak is
so great that all grades are eagerly
taken. There is a larger sale of basswood
than formerly, though the price is strong
at $40 for inch. Maple is ruaning up in
price and will soon be one of the expen-
sive woods. It brings $22.50 in Michigan
and reports come in that the Michigan
Maple Company is turning down all
orders, having sold so far ahead. Cer-
tain dealers report the receipt of chestnut
and birch, but there is no regular supply
of either to be had. They go out about

BU INESS NOTES.
W. H. Higgins, of Vancouver, who has
for several years conducted the largest
individual logging business in British Col-
umbia, has been compelled to make an
assignment for the benefit of his creditors.
The cause of the failure is officially stated
to be the present stringency of the timber
market, Mr. Higgins having now on hand
between ftve and six million feet of logs
which are unsaleable, but which at ordin-
ary prices would realize more than suffi-
cient to pay the liabilities. |The liabilities
are estimated at something like $20,000.
The plant for logging at Toba Inlet is said
to be worth $25,000. It is said that Mr.
Higgins recently offered 3,000,000 feet of -
logs at $4.50 per thousand, which is
claimed to be less than cost price, whereas
two months ago he could have obtained
from $7 to $8 for the same logs.

WHITE PINE STATISTICS.
The report of the white pine production
in the territory covered by the Mississippi
and Wisconsin Valley Lumbermen’s Asso-
ciations that the
probable production indicate that on the
whole there will be a slight increase in this
year's cut. The mills
season sawed about 20 per cent. less piece
stuff than last There has beena
steady decrease in the percentage of piece
stuff on hand during the past four years.

were in plentiful stock at the beginning of
the season are reported well cleaned up.
This is particularly true in the Wisconsin
valley.
An increase in the amount of lath on
hand August ist is reported, being in the
neighborhood of 7 per cent. over that of
August ist of last year.
Statistics showed that the lumber man-
ufacturers of the Mississippi and Wiscon-
sin Valleys held on August 1, 1900, 11 per
cent. less lumber than they had on August
1, 1899.
On August 1, 1901, they had 7 per cent.
less stock on hand than on August t, 1902,
making a total shortage of last year over
1899, of 25 per cent.
We find, after as careful an investigation
as we can make, that the stock on hand
August 1 this year, is slightly in excess of
that on hand last year, or about 3-2 per
cent. This shows that stocks are still far
from normal.
On January rst the combined inventories
showed a decrease of 1.3 per cent. over the
stocks on hand January 1, 1902, or a total
of 1,484,127,575 feet.
Shipments for the first seven months of
the year by the members of both associa-
tions amounted to 1,235, 133,863 ft., which is
1.4 per cent. greater than the total re-
ported by the same firms for 1902. The
consumption in the Northwest and ship-
ments to Chicago and the East count for
the increase,
The steam saw mill owned by William
MeNutt at Tay Creek, York County, N,
B., was burned on August 24th, also 30,-
000 feet of lumber and 45,000 shingles.

GREAT BRITAIN,
The prevalence of wet weather in Great
Britain has not been conducive to an ex-
pansion in the lumber consumption. Buy-
ers consider offers in an apathetic manner
and apparantly will only purchase stock
when in actual need of it. Predictions are
rife, even at this early date, that lower
prices will rule during next year, these be-
ing based usually on the large stock of
Baltic lumber that has not yet passed out
of first hands. Nevertheless, nothing but
encouraging reports come to band reyard-
ing the present position of Canadian lum-
ber. A Liverpool correspondeni states
that although the consumption of waney
and pine timber has been checked some-
what by high prices, a lower range of
values is not likely to be established, but
on the other hand prices are likely to ad-
vance when the higher rates of insurance
for autumn shipments set in. The same
remarks apply to Canadian pine deals and
boards. The control of these is in few
and strong hands. In spruce deals the
position is as strong as ever. Sbippers
have very little stock to offer and indica_
tions point to a steady if not an advancing
market for spruce deals until the close of
the shipping season from the New Biuns-
wick and Nova Scotia ports. At Cardiff
spruce deals and floorings are held at ad-
vanced figures, in consequence of the
quantities offering being much less than is
usual at this period. A Bristol report says
that the stock of spruce deals is lower
there than ever before. At the present
lime conditions seem to favor the seller,
and unless there should be a sharp falling
off in the consumption, there seems little
reason to expect that prices for Canadian
lumber in Great Britain will not be as high
next year as they have been during the
past.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
The one absorbing and prevailing topic
in lumber circles is the scarcity of men,
and itis not all talk either, for lack of
help is proving a serious business in the
yards and on the limits too. The late
harvest in Quebec and Ontario and the
prevailing bigh rate of wages drew the
men to the fields and they are not available
for the limits and mill yards. Ot course,
matters will improve as soun as the har-
vest work is nearing a close. Railway
agents and mill men say that large quan-
tities of lumber are lying in the yards
awaiting shipment, but tied up for the
reason that men cannot be secured to load
it. One dealer this week offered three
dollars a day, but could not get men to
load a rush order. It is a big jump from
eight or nine dollars a week in a mill yard
to thirty dollars a month and board on a
farm, and the unskilled laborer naturally
prefers the latter.
For a similar reason, as has been re-
marked before, it is difficult to get men
for work on the limits. The Georgian
Bay firms are offering in Ottawa as high
as thirty-five dollars a month and board
for axe men. Local firms naturally do not
welcome this intrusion, as it means in-
creased quitlay for them. Men are being
forwarded almost daily from Ottawa,
Thurso, Buckingham and other points to
the Georgian Bay and Soo country. A
firm operating near the Soois said to have

gone as far in its search for men as to
have secured the release of six prisoners
from the County jail. The aggregate
amount of the fines, $50, will be deducted
from the men’s wages in the woods.
Many inexperienced men are finding
their way to the lumber camps. Grue-
some proof is given by the records of the
local hospitals. Almost every day for the
past fortnight, disabled novices at the log-
making business have been brought down,
a foot or a hand having been chopped in-
stead of atree. To-day there were four
such cases. Yesterday a local lumber-
man rejected five of eight men offered for
work in the woods.
Already calculations are being made on
the quotations on next year’s cut of deals.
It is safe to say there will be an advance
of from five to ten per cent., made neces-
sary, so the operators say, by the advance
in wages and the inferior class of labor
offering. What will have to be takenasa
good day's work this year would not have
been accepted a few years ago.

Thus the increase in three years has been

that the increase of lumber sale, move-

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKL1 EDION
TRADE OPENINGS.
The following were among the enquiries
relating to Canadian trade received at-the
Canadian Government Office in London
during the week ending 28th August, 1903.
The names of the parties may be obtained
from the publishers of this journal.
Inquiry has been made for names of a
number of small joinery mills in Canada
who might be willing to enter into negotia-
tions for the supply of doors, mouldings,
etc.
SHIPPING MATTERS.
The schooner Eva Stuart, from Windsor
, ’
N.S., for Boston, with lumber, was towed
into Rockland, Me., leaking badly, having
had to jettison 15,000 feet of lumber.
The following charters are reported:
Str.
Irish port and Bristol Channel, deals, 40
Britannia, St. Lawrence river to an
shillings ; Normania, Miramichi, N.B., to
w.c. England, deals, 41s 3d; barque
Italia, St. John, N.B., to Ipswich, deals,
50 shillings; barque Fred P. Litchfield,
Sherbrooke, N.S.,to Buenos Ayres, lumber,

The saw mill of William J. Scott, at
Springhill, N.B., was almost totally con-
sumed by fire a few days ago, together
with a quantity of cedar shingles. The
loss is placed at $12,000, Itis improbable
that the mill will be rebuilt, as Mr. Seott
has recently purchased the Victoria mills
at Fredericton.

W.T., has sold out to H. R. Folgeur &
Company.
The saw mill of William Shea at Roys-
ton, Ont., was destroyed by fire on
September 12th, at a loss of $2,500.
The sheriff is said to be in possession of
the estate of James Harrison, lumber
merchant, Burlington, Ont., who disap-

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The lumber market shows consider-
able snap. There has not been a per-
ceptible increase in the demand, but the
steady buying of small lots indicates that
consumers are carrying comparatively
light stocks and that they consider it wise
to gradually increase holdings.
When the buying for fall and winter trade
shall become more general increased
activity will be seen. The harvest through-
out the province has been safely garnered
and the yield is quite up to the average.
Business conditions generally are good
and payments are being well met.
The hardwood manufacturers still con-
tinue to hold the reins of power. Com-
petition among buyers is keen, and the
bulk of the hardwood production has
passed out of first hands. Prices rule
very firm. Manufacturers are asking $20
for ash, basswood and soft elm log run,
mill culls out, $18 for birch, and $16 for
maple. These prices are f.o.b. cars at
the mill, and itis understood that large
sales have been made near these figures.
The present outlook is for a continuation
of strength.
The call for lath is growing and that
article promises to be quite bri$k before
winter. There are also more enquiries for
white pine shingles.
It is yet too early to estimate the extent
of operations in the woods during the
coming winter. By some it is predicted
that there will be a considerable shortage
as compared with last season on account
of the excessive cost oflogging. No doubt
the holders of timber limits acquired under
the smaller stumpage charge will be
opposed to depieting them unless a fair
profit from the operations should seem
reasonably certain.
their
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
An enlargement in the demand fur wide
spruce lumber is perhaps the only change
in the eastern market. The demand for
all kinds of spruce is sufficient to absorb
all the stock that is pressed for sale, so
that prices continue frm. The large man-
ufacturers have fixed a price on their
stock and will doubtless hold it until the
buyer meets the figure. There has been
an increase in the transactions in cedar
shingles, but these have not brought about
a h'gher range of prices. Extras are sell-
ing at $3.40 for Boston delivery. Con-
siderable shipments of lath have been
made to the New York market.

be hesitation about
making committments. Dealers do not
appear to be stocking up for fall and
winter business, but it is believed that the
stocks carried are comparatively light and
that considerable buying will be done in
the late fall. There is some weakness in
the higher grades, but all the lower grades
remain firm and constitute the bulk of the
sales. Buftalo and Tonawanda dealers
report a scarcity of Jow grade pine, their
efforts to increase the supply by purchases
in the Lake Superior district not having
met with much success. The demand for
Norway is strong, while the supply is
light. The market generally has been
strengthened by the action of the North-
Western Hemlock Manufacturers’ Associa-
tion, which has put into effect an advance
in hemlock dimension which amounts to
50 cents a thouaand on lengths over 20
feet and on 3 x 12 in 18 feet, also on 16-
foot common boards and ship-lap. The
general shortage of dimension stock and
heavy demand for it is responsible for this
matured there will
action.
An important meeting of the hardwood
manufacturers of the United States was
held at Cincinnati on September 5th. At
this meeting it was reported that 70 per
cent. of the membership had suggested a
revision of the price list makiny an advance
on certain items. The report from 190
manufacturers showed that the surplus
stock on hand August 1st was only 4,677,-
ooo feet, whereas one year ago the sur-
plus stock held by 70 members
It will thus be seen that
was
3) 330,000 feet.
the statistical position of hardwoods is
strong. Maple flooring does not improve.
This is surprising in view of the fact that
prices of maple lumber are firmer, and
everything else in the hardwood line is in
gocd demand.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The buying of lumber in the British
market has not improved to any extent.
Prices have reached the point where
buyers think they cannot go much higher,
and accordingly they are disposed to wait
in the hope of a reaction. Prompted by
reliable advice, we reiterate that the con-
ditions in Canada do not offer any hcpe of
lower prices for lumber shipped to Great
Britain this season. Shippers have abso-
u tely refused to consider offers which
represent a reduction in price, and if they
annot obtain their asking prices they are
likely to carry the stock over till next
spring The situation in London has been
improved by a reduction in the quantity of
lumber in the public docks. While the
amount is larger than at same time last
year, there is a marked reduction as com-
pared with a few months ago. Deals, for
instance, that in the early part of the year
exceeded last year’s stock by a million
pieces, are now in excess by only 15,000
pieces. There is quite a Jarge stock of

estimate that the present stock of Baltic
deals constitutes a sufficient supply for the
next seven months. The Canadian supply
is, comparatively, much lighter. At Liver-
pool the supply of pine and spruce deals is
considerably less than at the correspond-
ing period last year. The high price of
first quality pine deals has curtailed the
consumption to some extent. Consider-
able spruce has been sold throughout
Ireland. Current values for about 60 per
cent. 9 inch x 3 inch are £9 2s 6d to
49 58 per St. Petersburg standard of 1980
feet, c.i.f. Belfast. Plasterers’ laths have
been consumed in large quautities, the
price of 3/16 x 1 inch having steadily ad-
vanced from £5 per standard to
£6 Rock elm timber is in good
demand, also oak. The stock of ash
timber is light, but the demand has been
curtailed by importations of plank.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
H. S. Brennan & Company will take out
logs at Birch Island, McGregor Bay, next
winter.
The base price of hemlock in Tona-
wanda is $16.50. Some retail dealers
have been shading prices slightly.
Probably the last raft of square timber
of the season is at the Chaudiere slides,
Ottawa. It belongs to E. Moore and con-
tains 193 cribs.
The steamer Platea is completing her
cargo of lumber at Gaspe, Que., and will
shortly sail for the United Kingdom, with
about 3,500,000 feet.
It is reported that the Spanish River
Pulp & Paper Company, of Webbwood,
Ont., will have ten camps in operation the
coming winter taking out pulp wood.
Norway piece stuff is in short supply in
the Chicago market. All the Norway
possible nowadays is converted into inch
lumber, which sells well in place of soft
pine.
Hemlock piece stuff is selling in Chicago
at $12 to $12.50; long lengths $1.50 to
$2.25 a thousand more than shorts; Nor-
way short lengths, $16 to $16.50, hem-
lock inch lumber, $17 to $18.
W. M. Mackay has this season loaded
four steamers and one bark with lumber
at Hopewell Cape, N. B., the total ship-
ment being about 18,000,000 feet. The
barque Avoca is now loading at that place
for J. Nelson Smith and John L. Peck.
The Department of Interior at Ottawa
is prepared to receive offers up to October
7th for a license to cut timber on Berth
No. 1089, comprising the south-half of sec-
tion 6, section 9, and the north-west corn-
er of section 10, in the Province of Mani-

The Lands and Works Department of
British Columbia will receive tenders up
to September 23rd for a twenty-one years’
license for cutting timber on lot 5,985 on
Cherry Creek, East Kootenay, containing
10,855 acres. Tenders must be accom-
panied by certified cheques tor $5,266, the
amount of the first year's rental and the
cost of surveying and cruising the limits.
Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Company,
in their report of August 29th, refer to
the Barbadus market as follows: ‘‘There
has been no arrival of white pine during
the fortnight. The market is lightly stock-
ed and first receipts should do well. In
spruce the ‘‘Success” from Paspebiac,
Que., brought 70,000 feet, which owing to
the present stimulated condition of the
market, brought $21.63 asit runs. This
is a very fullrate and may not be main-
tained unless receipts are very moderate.
This steamer brought 690,000 shingles,
of which about 240,000 laying cedar has
been sold to arrive at $2.43% and 160,000
long were for one of the lumber dealers.
Further receipts should also do fairly well.
The balance, consisting of 200,000 long
and 78,000 dimension, were sold at $5.56,
$6.56 and $5.31 for the former, while the
latter were placed at $4.60 for 4-inch,
$6.25 for 5-inch, $7.35 for 6-inch and $8.55
for 7-inch. These high prices have un-
doubtedly been brought about by the anti-
cipated demand acting ona moderately
stocked market and are somewhat
‘flated.”
in-
BRISK DEMAND FOR HARDWOODS,
Apparently there is no abatement in
the demand for all the leading hardwoods.
Buyers who go south and north among
the mills are just as zealous in picking up
lumber as they were months ago. Wher-
ever there is a bunch for sale it is snatch-
ed up without delay, says the American
Lumberman. In the south the early
season was so wet that getting logs was
impossible a large part of the time, and
difficult nearly all the time, so that there
has not been nearly a normal season's
output. At the same time the demand
from manufacturers of finished product of
all sorts, from the builders, furniture fac-
tories, car shops and railroads, has taken
all the oak, ash, cottonwood, birch, bass-
wood, poplar, elm and maple that could
be produced. The stress has been par-
ticularly strong in oak, prices have
vaulted upward and remain unbroken all
along ‘the line, because there are no
accumulations, and no competition among
sellers. How long this will continue de-
pends on future conditions at the mills
and in the woods, and on the rate of
demand. At present there are no con-
ditions that point to a larger supply in
proportion to the demand or softer prices.
A like comment can be made on the
QUEBEC.

other hardwoods, though the call for oak
is the most emphasized, because it isthe
most conspicuous hardwood in the
country. Ash cannot be procured in
sufficient quantity to make it overabundant
in any season, and now that the supply in
the south has been shortened by unfavor-
able weather for logging the demand is
especially pronounced. In the southern
list cottonwood this season attracts a
good deal of attention because it is in
short supply.
Northern hardwoods are sold close up to
the point of scarcity. The call for birch con-
tinues urgent with small stocks with
which to respond. Basswood is in like
condition. Soft elm is wanted all the
time, but the coopers have for a year or
two taken so much of the Michigan pro-
duct that it has diminished the supply of
lumber. Itis generally understood that
the season’s cut of hard maple has been
mostly sold or put under contract.
Finally, when we consider the whole
line of hardwoods there is no burdenséme
surplus anywhere, while the demand for
consumption continues to absorb what is
offered. Of course under such conditions
it is easy to maintain prices. *

and, speaking generally, prices continue
to be very firm. There is every appear-
ance of a healthy tone in the market, and,
so far as can be seen, values are likely to
be maintained to the end of the year, as-
suming that imports are not abnormally
heavy. Scotch shipbuilders have launched
during August 34 vessels aggregating
739585 tons, which forms a record output
for one month, and compares with 22 ves-
sels of 46,882 tons for same month of last
year. The new business contracted for
amounts to over 36,000 tons, which is a
satisfactory addition to the work at present
on hand. There has been a falling away
of orders for sailing vessels and tramp
steamers of late, which of course is ex-
plained by the present low freights ruling.
The housebuilding trade in the city and
neighbourhood continues wonderfully act-
ive, and there is a considerable amount of
work still on hand.

CANADA LOMBERMAN WEEKLY EDItON
TIMBER LIMIT TRANSACTIONS.
Scott Bros., of Fredericton, N.B., have
just completed the purchase from Messrs.
Eaton, of Calais, Me., of extensive timber
lands on the upper waters of the St. John
river. The lands comprise about 50,000
acres on the Wildcat and Black tributaries
and contain a large quantity of spruce and
other timber. It is their intention to log
on the property this winter, cutting about
5,000,000 feet on the head waters and
about 15,000,000 feet in their total opera-
tions. Their mill at Magaguadavic wil
be stocked from the limits lately acquired
from Chipman & Murchie, of St. Stephen.
Four portable lath mills will be erected on
the lands near Deer Lake. The firm have
about 500,000 feet of logs at Springhill,
which will probably be sold.
The McMahon Moulding Company,
manufacturers of moulding, Toronto, have
sold out to E. F, R. Zollner.
Cedar Cove Mill,

RECORD CAR-LOAD OF B.C.
SHINGLES,
So fa as we can learn, the “king” car of
British Columbia shingles was received by
Butler Bros., of Woodstock, Ont., from
the Robert McNair Shingle Manufacturing
Company, of Vancouver, in July. The
car contained 358,000 shingles and the
freight was $399. This, evidently, beats
all previous records.
The sash and door factory of H. Chag-
non & Company, Montreal, was damaged
by fire recently.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
There is a fair movement of all kinds of
lumber, and particularly of low grade
pine and hardwoods. Orders appear to
be a little more plentiful than earlier in
the month. It is generally believed that
consumers are carrying light stocks, as
their policy for some time past has been
to buy conservatively in the hope of being
in a position to take advantage of the ex-
pected decline in prices, which up to the
Man-
ufacturers of pine lumber do not antici-
pate lower prices in the near future. Even
if the demand this winter should fall below
normal, it is not likely that the effect upon
prices would be material, as the pine man-
present time has not materialized.
ufacturers are in a strong financial position.
Unless there should be a permanent de-
cline in the volume of trade, prices will not
yield.
equally certain of being able to maintain
present prices. The quantity of unsold
stock at the mills is exceptionally light,
and the supply will be shorter this winter
than during the corresponding season a
year ago, The stumpage price for hard-
woods has advanced in full sympathy with
the higher prices for lumber, which con-
sideration warrants the view that present
values will continue. By some an advance
in the price of the thicker sizes of hard-
woods is predicted. A manufacturer who
has been selling his basswood at $20 for
mill run culls out writes that he has just
received an offer of $22, which clearly in-
Hardwood manufacturers are:

dicates an upward tendency. Plain red
oak is held at $30 at the mill for log run,
dead culls out.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,
In spruce lumber the market is largely
in the hands of the seller. The supply of
dry stock is below the average of recent
years, and the steady demand from New
York has induced some manufacturers to
advance their prices. For extra quality
of spruce clapboards there is a steady and
urgent inquiry, the average selling price
being $45 for 4-foot boards on Boston rate

Narrow boards do

second clears at $40.
not find a market so readily.
The cedar shingle market is still un-
certain. Extras are freely offered by
practically all the small dealers at $3.40
for Boston delivery, while some of the more
important manufacturers are still holding
their stocks for $3.50. It is believed that
the market will work back to a $3.50
basis within a few weeks. Strength is
shown by spruce lath, which brings about
$3.20 for 14-inch and $3.40 for 15-inch.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,
The lumber market of the North-West
is seasonably active. Dealers are in-
creasing their stocks in anticipation of a
steady demand during the fall and winter
months, the abundant crop yield having
inspired confidence in business generally.
It is now reasonably certain that the
wheat production of Manitoba and the
Territories will exceed sixty million
bushels, against sixty-five million bushels
Jast year. This yield willnet the produ-
cer more than last year on account of
increased prices. The lumber market
generally is firm, although some United
States manufacturers are said to be tak-
ing orders for pine for delivery at Mani-
toba points at about $1 less than the
prices which have been prevailing. Local
manufacturers have not as yet met this
competition. There is no change in
British Columbia shingles. The manu-
facturers notified shingle sawyers that a
cut of 1% cents a thousand would be
made in wages, and trouble has arisen at
some of the mills. Should a general
strike be inaugurated it would enable the
market to right itself from a serious
overproduction.
UNITED STATES.
Based on reports of serious damage by
frost to the corncrop, the news was last
week spread abroad that lower prices for
lumber had been decided upon by the pine
manufacturers of the Mississippi valley.
This proved to be premature, for the
result of a meeting of such manufacturers
was an agreement to hold prices at the
basis which has ruled for some time past.
In view of the reduced cut it was felt that
there would be no large surplus of stock.
At the same time, it was admitted that the
demand was not all that could be desired,
and that there had been a curtailment in
the buying of lumber for building purposes.
Some slight concessions have been made
on northern pine and on shingles and lath.
The box business, on the other hand, is in
a flourishing condition, the buying of box
lumber continuing to be a feature ; in fact,
all low grade white pine and Norway are
while the better grades are
exhibiting signs of weakness. It is said
that, inch No. 1 cuts which a short time
ago were held in the eastern markets at
$42 can now be obtained for $39. Heavy
rains in Michigan brought business almost
to a stand till last week, but the recent
favorable turn has caused an improvement.
Chicago dealers report a better inquiry for
lumber in cargo lots. Norway piece stuff
is held at $16 to $16.50, and Norway inch,
common, at $14. 2
strong,
The hardwood market exhibits more
activity than any other branch of the
lumber industry. It is almost needless to
specialize, as all kinds and grades are in
demand. The Wisconsin Hardwood
Lumbermen’s Association, ata meeting
held on September 15th, after mature con-
sideration, reaffirmed the March list,
although many of the members were in favor
of an increase in the price in the case of a
majority of the items on the list.
Prices of shingles and laths do not im-
prove, notwithstanding that the demand is
considerable. The Wisconsin Valley
Lumbermen’s Association have reduced
the price of No. 1 pine lath 25 cents, and
that of No. 2 50 cents. In Chicago No. 1
pine lath is held at $3.25 and No. 2 mixed
at $3.
GREAT BRITAIN,
We cannot report conditions in the Brit-
ish market to be materially different frorh
those of a week ago. The effect of the
extremely cautious buying by importers is
becoming visible, there being a gradual
improvement in the price of what is termed
“spot goods,” that is, lumber in stock. At
the recent auction sales all first class lum-
ber has been taken at firm prices, and if
there should be no quantity of consign-
ment goods sent forward there is not
likely to be any difficulty in maintaining
prices. Pine deals of first and second
quality are now held at an exceptionally
high figure, but there is no large accumu-
lation and little prospect of any important
addition to the stock this season, for the
consumption is almost certain to keep pace
with the import. Spruce deals are held at
stiff prices. At the last London sale fourth
quality 3x 9, 12 feet in length, brought
£9, and fifth quaiity £8, which figures
cannot be regarded otherwise than satis-
factory. The flooring market is excep-
tionally strong, prices having gradually
advanced during the past two months,
Narrow boards are also firmer, a run upon
these sizes having been experienced.

Arthur Hill, who is largely interested in
the St. Anthony Lumber Company at
Whitney, Ont., states that much difficulty
has been fonnd in securing the necessary
labor,
down a portion of the mill in consequence
of the scarcity of help. He expresses the
opinion that this scarcity will shorten the
output of the mills fully one-third and will
equally affect the operations in the woods
the coming winter. He believes that this
will prove beneficial to the market, indi-
cating no glut, and consequently all the
lumber manufactured will be wanted. ;
A new list has been issued by the Wis-
consin Valley Lumbermen's Association
making the following price changes, f.o.b.
Wausau: D selects, all lengths and
widths, reduced $2 a thousand ; D floor-
ing, all lengths, reduced $2 ; No. 1, 8 and
10 inch boards, rough, increased 50 cents;
Drop siding, No. 1, 8 and 10 inch, and
plain shiplap D and M, No. 1, 8 and 10
inch, increased 50 cents; D siding, tied,
reduced 50 cents; piece stuff, 2x 4, 10
foot, reduced $1; No. 1 white pine lath
and No. 1 mixed, reduced 25 cents; and
No. 2 lath, reduced 50 cents.
There has been a considerable slump,
says the British Timber Trades Journal, in
the price of American white oak planks,
partly due to the slack condition of the
wagon-building industry and partly tothe
large quantities sent forward on consign-
ment to Liverpool and elsewhere. The
fall in price affords shippers a temptation
to somewhat exceed their contracts, the
result being, in one instance at least that
has come to our knowledge, that a parcel

sions suitable for the construction of a
certain type of wagon, and useless, except

COOPERAGE STOCK.
The Sutherland-Innes Company, of Chat-
ham, Ont., referring to the cooperage stock
market, say: The whole situation in re-
spect to slack barrel stock can be pretty”
well covered by saying that at the present
time the demand is greater than the sup-
ply. This situation has been brought about
by conditions over which the manufactur-
ers had very little control. The winter of
1902-1903 Wasa very poor one for lumber-
ing, the woods being full of water when
snow came, and the snow coming on top
of the soft wet ground prevented the frost

What little time
there was when the woods would bear up
it passable for teams.
teams was so short that very little timber
was putin. Timber now has to be hauled
long distances to mills in most cases, and
consequently a long lumbering season is
necessary to stock up. This the mill men
did not get, but had an unusually short one.
The output being so limited and the de-
mand being so great, not only in staple
lines, but for apples, of which there are
an unusually good crop of excellent ship-
ing apples, everything that can be pro-
duced finds a ready market.
Owing to the increased price of timber,
heavy cost of summer hauling and higher
wages demanded by men, manufacturers
have been obliged to ask high prices for
stock, and there is no possibility of prices
coming down this season; the tendency
is upward,
The conditions in the tight cooperage-
stock industry are very much the same as
. in the slack-barrel branch. The weather
so far this season has been unfavorable
for getting out raw material. The de-
mand for all classes of tight-barrel stock
has been very heavy. The prices in tight-
barrel stock have gone up by jumps ; in
fact, in proportion, have increased even
more than in slack stock. The demand
for fall and winter trade promises to be
heavy, and the difficulty will be to get

There is a very firm market for western
pine lumber, though the demand is quiet :

Hardwoods continue in good demand

$20 to $25 ; red oak, plain, $43 ; white-

Clapboards are steady and unchanged :
Extra, $45; clear, $43; second clear, $40 ;
extra No. 1, $30.
The difference in quality accounts
largely for the selling of shingles at a
wide range, but uncertainty about the

trade to its credit. The incoming month
is expected to develop an increase in re-
tail orders, as many yards are thought to
be carrying light stocks. While higher
prices for lumber are not anticipated, the
opinion is becoming more general that
there is not likely to be any material de-
cline. It is not unusual to meet a person
who predicts an early break in prices,
but it is difficult to point to one manufac-
turer who is shading quotations. One of
the strongest factors in the situation is the
very light stock of unsold lumber in the
mill yards. Even a moderate demand
during the next six months will leave the
supply of dry stock comparatively limited,
and the mills will resume operations next
spring under favorable conditions. Build-
ing operations throughout the province
this season of the year.
The number of permits taken out in the
city of Toronto this fall would almost in-
dicate a boom, but it is safe to say that,
with favorable labor conditions, the activ-
are active for
ity next year will be no less pronounced.
The demand for houses is
the supply, showing that the building
movement is based on a sound foundation.
The furniture and implement factories
continue to be large buyers of hardwood
lumber. The seller invariably makes the
price, and if his lumber is of the quality
required by the prospective purchaser, a
deal usually results. Shingles seem to be
ina less satisfactory condition. From
some districts the report is heard that
prices are a trifle easier and the demand ‘
none too brisk.

mills in Quebec and New Brunswick will
be compelled to shut down at an early
date on account of log shortage, and as
the bulk of the lumber manufactured this
season has already been placed under con-
tract there is little danger of a decline in
prices. The New York market is taking
large quantities of lumber and lath. The
high price of $14.50 per thousand was
recently paid for medium-sized spruce logs.
This figure will compel the manufacturer
to obtain a fancy price for his lumber in
order to make a profit on the transaction.
The manufacturers of pulp have this year
been keen competitors in the log market
and have no doubt been responsible for
forcing prices to a higher basis than seems
actually warranted by the demand for
either pulp or lumber.
There is a little more life to the shingle
market, but prices are not improved. Very
few sales of extras for Boston delivery
have been madeat $3.50, and it is probably
within the mark to say that the range of
sales is from $3.35 to $3.45.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,
The lumber situation in Manitoba and
the Territories is said to be a little easier.
The United States manufacturers have re-
sorted to price-cutting, which has un-
settled the market. The demand, how-
ever, shows no falling off, but is expected
to expand during the next month. The
British Columbia mills are experiencing
an active local trade, building operations
in Vancouver and Victoria being on a
large scale. Shingles are still a drug on
the market. At a meeting of the manufac-
turers held last week it was decided to
again commence sawing shingles for the
Canadian market. The shut-down has
relieved the situation to some extent, but
the over-production is still apparent.
During the month of August 177 timber
licenses were issued by the British Colum-
bia Government, 45 of these being renew-
als. The business is evidently once more
becoming active, after a period of depres-
sion.
UNITED STATES.
Fears regarding the failure of the wheat,
corn and cotton crops have been dispelled,
‘and business conditions have improved to
that extent. The decline in the prices of
iron and steel, however, is taken to indi-
cate a falling off in the demand, and as
these commodities are looked upon asa
fair barometer of trade, it is predicted by
some that the general business of the
country will experience a gradual restric-
tion. This is not yet in evidence in lumber
circles. The demand is steady and prices
on the whole have been well maintained. In
some sections a reduction in the price of
certain kinds of lumber has been made ;
inothers a corresponding advance has tak-
en place. The great activity which pre-
vails throughout the box trade is one ot the
most favorable features. Throughout the
Eastern States the demand for boxes is as
great as ever known in the past. The
scarcity of box lumber has become acute
and has done a great deal towards
strengthening the entire list. The fact
that the Standard Oil Company have
recently bought box lumber quite heavily
is regarded as an indication that that cor-
poration do not anticipate lower prices in
the near future. Norway pine is also
comparatively scarce and is being replaced
to some extent by hemlock and yellow
pine. The upper grades of white pine
are irregular in price, certain dealers
carrying a fair stock having in isolated
cases resorted to the policy of shading
prices in order to close sales. For inch
No. 1 cuts the price at Buffalo is about
$40. The hemlock market is steady at
about the prices that have ruled for the
past month. The hardwood industry is in
a most satisfactory condition. Opinions
seem to favor a brisk demand throughout
the fall and winter months. ~ It is pre-
dicted that before spring the price of oak
will have advanced $5 per thousand, not-
withstanding that for some time past
almost incredible prices have been
received for quarter-sawed stock. Maple,
basswood and elm are among the best
sellers of the lower-priced woods.
GREAT BRITAIN.
So many conflicting opinions are ex-
pressed regarding the British lumber
market that it is most difficult to arrive
at a conclusion as to the existing con-
ditions and future course of prices.
Representatives of shippers do not appear
to be offering stock at any concession,
while importers show little willingness to
buy on account of the disparity which
exists between the prices asked by shippers
and those which can be obtained from
dealers and consumers. Baltic deals are
said to be somewhat lower in price, and it
would probably be a mistake to become
too sanguine as to the maintenance of
present prices. Should consignment
cargoes arrive this fall in any quantity the
effect upon values might be serious. The
building trade is accountable in a large
measure for the present accumulation of
stock in the hands of dealers, unfavorable
weather having greatly interfered with
outdoor work. Third and fourth quality
pine deals are reported to be slightly
easier, but the better qualities continue
firm. The quantity of spruce deals arriv-
ing at the British ports is comparatively
small, which has done much to sustain the
market. A cargo was recently sold for
delivery on the west coast of England ata
price which is described as an exceedingly
good one.
Sellers are already sounding the market
in respect to next year’s prices, although
mo contracts are likely to be closed until
the financial situation becomes improved,
-unless, of course, shippers should make

The last circular of Messrs. Churchill &
Sim, London, England, says: ‘‘The im-
portation of both pine and spruce deals
has been most moderate, and this has
checked the tendency to weakness which
was observable in this market in July. For
pine there may be said to be no appreci-
able change in quotations during the
month, but for spruce there has been
some recovery in the demand, and prices
have moved a point inadvance. For all
Canadian hardwoods and for white pine
timber the London market has been
almost at a stand-still, and prices have
sagged accordingly.
QUEBEC.
Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Company,
in their last report, refer to the lumber
market as follows : ‘‘ The only arrival to
report is the ‘Corona’ from Shelburne,
N.S., with about 82,000 feet of white pine.
Of this we placed 15,000 feet of the deck
joad, almost all second quality, at $24.39,
and 17,000 feet of the balance of deck
load, which was rather better, at $25.87
asitrun. Of the 50,000 feet under deck,
we sold 30,000 feet at $27.43 and the
balance at $27 as it run. There has been
no arrival of spruce and the demand for
crop requirements will soon set in; the
high prices of white pine should enhance
value of spruce, and we anticipate full
rates later on, and think shippers can
safely take chance of market. No further
arrivals of shingles have taken place anc
stocks are light, but we understand that
about 1,500,000 cedar laying have been
placed to arrive at $2.30.
The reports of the secretaries of the
Mississippi valley and the Wisconsin val-
ley associations for the month of August
have recently been issued. For both sec-
tions they sLow a falling off in the volume
of lumber business as compared with the
same month of last year. The decrease
is small, however, and does not wipe out
the balance on the other side of the books,
made by the shipments of the previous
months of the year. The shipments of the
Wisconsin valley manufacturers show a
falling off as compared with the corres-
ponding eight months of 1902, but the in-
crease in the volume of trade of the Miss-
issippi valley manufactures is great enough
to give a net increase for the two sections
combined. August was a trying month.
In all of the territory where white pine
finds its best customers, it was the month
when business affairs were unsettled by
the uncertainty as to the crops. The har-
vesting of the small grains was about over,
but threshing had not been completed and
the actual yield was not known.

THE BOSTON MARKET.
There continues to be an improved tone
in the market for spruce lumber at Boston.
Prices are not yet advanced, but there
is more disposition to scrutinize sched-
ules, and to refuse to bid on those at all
difficult to fill. Logs on the Kennebec
river are now selling at $14.50 per 1000
feet for medium size spruce, in the booms,
which is said to be the highest price ever
paid on that river, although the big spruce
of the Penobscot have sold at $15 to $17
at Bangor lately. Here the quotations on
lumber are: Ten and 12 in dimensions,
$21;9 in. and under, $19; 12 in. ran-
dom lengths, 10 feet and up, $20,50;
2X3, 2X4, 2x5, 2x6, 2x7 and 3x4, 10 feet
and up, $17 to $17.50; all other randoms,
gin. and under, to feet and up, $18 to
$18.50; 5 in. and up, merchantable boards,
$17; matched boards, $18 50 to $20; out
spruce boards, $13 to $14; bundle furring,
$17.
Hemlock lumber is steady and unchang-

random eastern, $13.50 to $14.50; Penn-
sylvania, No, 1, $18.50 to $19.50; No. 2,
$15 to $16.50.
Western pine lumber is very quiet, but
prices are firmly held at full quotations:
Uppers,1 to 2 in. $84 to $87; 2% to 3 in. $92
to $97 ; 4-in. $96 to $100 ; selects, 1-in.

$69; 2-in. $72 ; 2% to 3 in. $80; 4-in. $82 ;
barn boards, $23 to $33; coffin boards,
$28 to $32.
There is a moderate demand for hard
woods, especially for finish work.
Prices are steady and unchanged:

SHIPPING MATTERS.
The steamer Laura has been fixed to
load deals at Halifax, N. S., for the west
coast of England at 35 shillings, and the
schooner Canada has been chartered to
carry lumber from St. John to Grenada.
The steamer Ida sailed from Halifax last
week for Cardiff, with deals.
The announcement comes from Mon-
treal that the Canadian Railways will on
October 1st make an advance of 20 cents
per thousand feet on seasoned soft wood
lumber destined for New York by rail
and water over the barge route on the
Hudson river.
There has been a rise in freight rates
during the past month. The demand for
vessels does not seem to have increased
but owners are evidently greatly dissatis-
fied with the returns which have been re-
ceived during the past season, and it is
not improbable that’a further advance in
rates will take place.
TIMBER LIMIT TRANSACTIONS.
‘'The timber areas in the vicinity of Bot-
woodville, Nfld.,owned by C. T. Hillson,
of Amherst, N. S., are reported to have

The British American Land Company,
of Sherbrooke, Que., are offering for sale

The information which comes from
Ottawa that a contract has been closed for
the purchase of a quantity of deals of next
season’s production for export at an ad-
vance over the prices of one year ago is
regarded ina favorable light by the lum-
ber trade. The manufacturers in the

to the conditions in the Georgian Bay dis-

and manufacturers generally are sold up
closely. In Western Ontario by far the

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,
There is still an upward tendency to the
spruce market. Very few manufacturers
are in a position to accept large orders on
account of the depleted condition of their
yard stocks. The scarcity of logs is exer-
cising no little influence on the market, as
several of the large mills in St. John are
likely to be compelled to shut down for
this reason. The proposal of the Govern-
ment to increase the stumpage dues has
also served to stiffen the price of lumber.
A memorial has been presented to the
Government by the lumbermen setting
forth that if the stumpage is to be increas-
ed it should be collected only on merchant~
able logs.
There are fairly large offerings of low
grade shingles at $3.35 to $3.40 for extras
and $2.85 to $2.90 for clears for Boston
delivery. The best brands are held
at $3.50 and $3.
UNITED STATES.
A revival of the demand for lumber in
the Lake Superior district has had a good
effect upon the market generally. The
shipments from Minneapolis during last
week were over ten million feet, and
stocks are now so broken that a moderate
demand through the fall and winter months
might make it comparatively easy tor
manufacturers to advance prices. The
buying seems to be largely for immediate
consumption, which indicates that stocks
light. At
Menominee, Mich., there is practically no
low grade lumber to be purchased. Prices
of these grades are $15 for No. 3, $13 for
No. 4, and $10 for No. 5. In the Wis-
consin district there is less activity, there
being very little call for the higher grades
but a fair movement of common aud culls.
The eastern markets are steady and trade
moderately active excepting in New York,

extent by the failure of an important
Liverpool firm of importers. It is stated
that a few transactions for next season's
shipments have been closed, and that
prices correspond very closely with the
values that have ruled during the past
three months. British importers appear
at last to be recognizing the fact that
shippers are aiming to limit the output to
suit the demand, this policy being due ina
large measure to the increased cost of the
raw material. A Cardiff correspondent
states that spruce has made a further
advance, £8 5s. being now asked for
cargoes from St. John. Recent auction
sales have also brought higher prices for
pine and spruce lumber. Second quality
spruce deals, 3x 9, brought £10 5s, and
third quality £9 10s. Some Miramichi
fourth quality, 3 x 12, 7 and g inch, sold at
£8 5s and £8 10s. The season is now so
far advanced that there is no possibility
of any large quantity of lumber being sent
forward on consignment, the knowledge
of which fact has created a more hopeful
feeling. It is stated that some orders for
Quebec spruce have been refused by the
manufacturers on this side, as their output
had already been taken.
GRADING OF CANADIAN TIMBER
FOR EXPORT.
The CanaDA LUMBERMAN recently had
the honor of a visit from three prominent
representatives of the British timber indus-
try, who had come to Canada for the pur-
pose of attending the Congress of Repre-
sentatives of the British Chambers of Com-
merce in Montreal. These were Mr.
William Kay, of Bolton, England, Mr.
Gradwell, of William Gradwell & Com-
pany, Barrow-in-Furness, England, and
Mr. Ward Layle, of Wisbech, England,
the latter being the representative of the
British Timber Trades Federation.
These gentlemen, on behalf of the Brit-
ish timber importers, complained of the
lack of proper grading of Canadian timber
shipped to Great Britain. It was formerly
the custom of shippers to deduct Wwaney
timber, and to mark with a “V” fourth
quality. It is said, however, that now
many shippers fail to put any mark to
indicate the grade. British importers
complain that in the case of Canadian
shipments the standard grades are not
being maintained, and that in consequence
they find themselves in constant difficulty
with their customers in the retail trade.

It is urged that Canadian manufacturers
and shippers should cut off the waney part
of the timber, and see to it that the grades
are maintained, even though the quantity
of the higher grades should thereby be
materially reduced. This, it is claimed,
is done by the exporting firms in Sweden
and other countries which ship timber into
the British market—in proof whereof it is
stated that not more than about 5 per cent.
of first quality deals are now received
from Archangel, but this 5 per cent. is
known to be first quality.
As regards red pine deals, for which
there is said to be an excellent demand,
it is urged that they should be properly
marked with stencil (not pencil) on the
ends of the deals, so that the mark will be
always visible from the wagon to those
who load and unloac the timber. The
British representatives stated that the best
deals received from Canada are those
which come from Miramichi; they are
said to be much superior to those received
from St. John.
We have pleasure in directing the atten-
tion of Canadian manufacturers and ship-
pers to this important matter, as if Canada
is to compete successfully with other
exporting countries, equal attention must
be given to the requirements of the British
market.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
Predictions have been borne out by facts
in one particular at least. An Ottawa
district lumberman has closed with an
English buyer for his 1904 cut of deals at
a slight advance on the quotations ruling
for the cut for 1903.
to close contracts for the English market
about the end of November, so that the
early deal made this year is indicative of
the brisk demand there is for Canadian
lumber across the pond.
It is the general opinion that there will
be an all round advance on lumber of from
It is the usual thing
five to ten per cent., this having reference
to next season's cut. Of course the wage
question has muchto dowith it. In other
years the question of the cost of supplies
for man and beast and equipment of camps
was taken into consideration, but this time
the wage question overshadows every-
thing else. The advance in provisions has
been marked, in the case of beans, a
Staple, fully roo per cent.
Discussing the situation to-day a mem-
ber of an old established firm said that ex-
perienced men were holding out for $40 a
month and board. However, experienced
men at $40 a month are cheap compared
with inexperienced men at $35, $32 or
even $30. According to this party his
firm will curtail operations in the bush
owing to the scarcity and high price of
labor. He laid emphasis on the fact that
prices of lumber will have to be advanced
if the manufacturer is to get his own out
of it.
No change in prices are reported by
millmen or dealers. There is a slight
weakening in some lines of cutting up
lumber owing to the falling off in the de-
mand from the American market. This
is accounted for by the set-back given
building operations by the strikes and the
consequent slackness in business in the
sash and door factories of the Eastern
States,
The lath and shingle market is picking
up, with the promise of an active fall trade.
Prices, however, remain unchanged.
Fraser & Company's new mill at. Des-
chenes above Ottawa is now running full
time cutting 50,000 feet a day. This mill
is considered by experts to be the best
equipped in Canada if not in America.
It ran without a hitch from the first day,
a feature of mill operations not often met
with.
The Hawkesbury Lumber Company's
mill at Hawkesbury has been shut down
for the season, and the men sent to the
shanties. The season was a long one,
thanks to the continued high water of the
Ottawa, upon which the band mill depends
for water power. Workis now under way
on the deepening of the waterway. The
rock will be blasted down for a further
depth of five feet. When this work is
completed the increased water power even

in times of low water will permit of the
mill being run up till the snow flies. The
cut at the Hawkesbury Company’s mills
this season ran between forty-five and
fifty million feet.
Recent rains improved the situation on
the tributaries of the Rouge river, and a
portion of the logs that were “ hung
up” have been floated down. The Rior-
dan Company, of Hawkesbury, had about
300,000 logs on the streams. The Mor-
rison mill at L’Orignal had to be shut
down for a while on account of scarcity
of logs.
Perley & Company’s mill at Calumet
is cutting about 30,000,000 feet of lumber
this season.
It is estimated that fully 300,000,000
feet of lumber was carried on the Ottawa
Transportation Company's barges from
points on the Ottawa river this season.
It was the heaviest business done in years.
From the mills at Ottawa, Hull, Rockland,
Hawkesbury, Calumet, Montebello and
Grenville shipments were made almost
daily. Most of the lumber went to Mont-
real for export to England, but a goodly
share was forwarded to New York. In
the matter of values one barge load ship-
ped from the Hawkesbury Lumber Com-
pany’s mills at Hawkesbury took the cake.
It contained about 270,000 feet of three
inch first quality deals for the English
market, It was valued at $60 per thou-
sand, making a total of almost $17,000.
Reports received from the limits show
that work is progressing well. Many fore-
men are devoting their time to road mak-
ing, which is facilitated in the absence of
snow, while more are busy logmaking.
From general observation it seems likely
there will be a falling off in the cut of
waney and square timber this season, for
the very good reason that, especially in
the Kippewa region, it isn't to be had.
The suspension of operations at the Soo
caused considerable discussion in Ottawa
lumber circles. Agents lost no time in

LIVERPOOL TIMBER FIRM IN
DIFFICULTIES.
The announcement that the firm of
Lightbound, Rigby & Company, timber
importers, Liverpool, England, had sus-
pended payment caused some surprise in
timber trade circles, although it had been
known for some time that their position
was uncertain. It is satisfactory to learn,
however, that the difficulties are not the
result of losses in timber transactions, but
arose from land speculation. The total
liabilities, as shown by a statement pre-
pared by the accountants, are £78,761
1os 2d, and the net assets £80,143 3s.
Several of the largest creditors are said to
be secured. About forty Liverpool houses
are interested, as well as a few Canadian
shippers, including J. Burstall & Com-
pany, W. & J. Sharples and King Bros.,
of Quebec, and A. Dickie, of Halifax,
N.S. The Swan-Donogh Lumber Com-
pany, of Tonawanda, and Scatcherd &
Son, of Buftalo, also appear as small
creditors.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
THE SASH AND DOOR TRADE AT
WINNIPEG.
During the unprecedented building
activity of the past season in Winnipeg,
difficulty has been experienced in securing
sufficient sash and doors with which to
fill orders. Two of the largest retail
lumber business in
Winnipeg have adopted a new plan. The
Prairie Lumber Company and the Cana-
dian Elevator Company are erecting an
extensive warehouse 50x150 feet in di-
companies doing
mension, three stories in height, with a
deep basement. This is to be used for
the storage of sash and doors, the base-
ment being intended exclusively for glass.
J. C. Graham, the enterprising manager
of the Prairie Lumber Company, will have
charge of the warehouse. The supply of
sash and doors for the various yards of
the two companies, now numbering some-
thing like a hundred, will be supplied
from this source. It is also expected that
an extensive jobbing business will be
carried on. Mr, Graham will continue to
purchase the lumber and will look after
the general affairs of the Prairie Lumber
A. A. McKinney, who is
general manager for the Canadian Eleva-
Company.
tor Company, will still retain his position
with that company, with the exception of
buying the sash and doors.
It is announced that W. H. Higgins,
logger, of Vancouver, B.C., who assigned
rscently, has compromised with his credi-
tors at 25 cents on the dollar.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The lumber demand continues tairly
satisfactory all over the province, although
there has been a falling off in the volume
of orders booked from the Eastern States.
Until the labor troubles in New York are
settled shipments to that market are likely
to be very light. The local consumption
is large. The fine weather of the past
‘week has permitted outdoor work to be
carried on without interruption, and
builders have been large buyers of lumber.
Implement and furniture factories are also
increasing their stocks at each favorable
opportunity. The trend of prices has been
such as to bring the higher and lower
grades closer together, Nearly all the
better grades of pine are about $2 per
thousand lower than a fortnight ago,
while the lower qualities have stiffened in
price. Mill culls, for instance, are almost
invariably held at an advance of 50 cents.
Box and common lumber have remained
about stationary, but with the buyer
usually willing to concede more than the
seller. Inch No. 1 cuts and better, which
a short time ago were held at $50 at the
mill, are now freely offered at $48, while
1¥% inch cuts are quoted at $53 as com-
pared with $55 a couple of weeks ago.
There continues to be heavy buying of
hemlock both in dimension timber and
lumber, with no apparerit weakness in
prices. The demand for hardwoods has
not been quite so urgent as in the month
of September, but as the supply is light
there is no uneasiness over the situation.
Lath is not a quick seller, and in some
quarters predictions of lower prices are
heard. For No. 1 4-foot pine lath $2.85
at the mill is asked, and for No. 2 $2.25.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
from the eastern
provinces are showing less activity, duein
part to the advance in freight rates. Ship-
owners are now asking 50 shillings from
St. John to Great Britain, the increase
being based on the higher cost of insur-
ance and the fact that only small deck-
loads can be carried.
Lumber shipments
Nevertheless, firm-
ness characterizes spruce lumber prices.
The stocks carried by manufacturers are
so light that they are not worrying over
their disposal. We cannot conscientiously
report any improvement in the shingle
situation. There is a large supply of low
grade cedar shingles, and as it is impossible
to hold the small manufacturers together,
prices remain low. The upper grades are
steadier and bring from $3.40 to $3.50 for
Boston delivery.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
There is stilla very satisfactory move-
ment of lumber throughout Manitoba and
the Territories. There are so many
buildings in process of completion that
the demand for finishing lumber is quite
heavy. Uptothe end of September of
this year the building inspector of Winni-
peg issued 1,127 permits for buildings, of
a total value of $5,235,700, The lumber
situation in British Columbia has improved,
foreign shipments being more numerous
than for some weeks past. The threaten-
ed labor troubles in the shingle industry
have been averted, and as the new arrange-
ment for the disposal of the shingle out-
put is now in force, more settled con-
ditions to prevail. It is
understood that according to the agree-
ment, each mill owner will pay to the as-
sociation 35 cents for every thousand
shingles produced, this sum to be return-
ed at the end of certain fixed ‘periods to
those manufacturers
are expected
have not
exceeded the percentage of output award-
ed them. Mill owners who exceed their
allotted percentage will be penalized by
a fine, in addition to the forfeiture of the
deposits made on output. It is
thought that this arrangement will work
out satisfactorily.
UNITED STATES.
The white pine market in the United
States has become quite irregular. The
higher grades are off from $2 to $4 per
thousand in nearly all the leading markets,
while the lower grades, and particularly
mill culls and box lumber, are somewhat
stronger than at last report. The fact
that there continues to be a heavy demand
for boxes is taken to indicate that the
general business of the country is in a
prosperous condition. Last week 25,-
000,000 feet of lumber were shipped from
Duluth, largely to the east. At Buffalo
and Tonawanda the demand has lately
picked up in a slight degree, although
there is not the uniformity of favorable
reports that characterizes the fall trade of
some years.
who
their
Norway piece stuff is in active request,
and with a continuance of present demand
there is not likely to be any cut in prices
of this class of lumber. From some points
a slight falling off in the demand for hard-
wood lumber is reported. Basswood,
which has been very scarce all season, is
in more plentiful supply. Mapleis a good
seller, nothwithstanding the weakness of
maple flooring. Some of the mills are
still cutting prices on the latter commod-
ity, and there is no imprcevement in sight.
Spruce prices are unchanged. Many ‘of
the small mills are now shutting down and
the large ones have orders on hand to
keep them running for some weeks.
There is no decided tendency to the
shingle market. A report from Marinette,
Mich., states that some of the mills in
that vicinity havea large stock of shingles
on hand and will close down unti! the
market shows more strength and activity.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The announcement ot the suspension
of another firm of tinber merchants has
further unsettled the British market. It
is some satisfaction to learn that the mis-
io nee)
fortune was the result of the continued de-
cline in securities rather than’of unprofitable
transactions in lumber. The knowledge
of this fact will no doubt tend in a degree
to.assure the lumber trade. There can be
no doubt, however, but that the unsettled
financial and political condition of Great
Britain is against any improvement in the
Hold-
ers of lumber find it difficult to realize on
their stocks, although it is admitted that
consumers have been buying very sparing-
timber trade at the present time.
ly for some time past. The position of
importers who have large stocks on hand
is strenghened by the
shippers in holding out for high prices
for next year's shipments. Figures of the
stock on hand at Liverpool on October rst
show that in waney pine timber, elm tim-
ber, birch plank, and spruce deals there
is a considerable shortage as compared
with one vear ago, while square pine and
birch timber and ‘Quebec pine deals are
in slightly larger stock. There is a: fair
demand for the best quality of timber and
lumber, bnt the lower grades are difficult
to dispose of.
the action of
STOCKS AND PRICES.
The steamer Glen Head is loading deals
at St. Thomas, Que., for Belfast, Ireland.
Sullivan & Company are shipping a con-
siderable quantity of elm lumber from
Ontario to Buffalo.
There has been a drop in Michigan in
the price of cedar posts and poles, the
latter being off about 25 per cent.
The Eastern Lumber Company, of Ton-
awanda, N. Y., last week purchased 12,-
000,000 feet of lumber at Duluth.
The Lake Megantic Lumber Company,
of Lake Megantic, Que., are putting in
five camps this fall in the Woburn district,
at the head of the Arnald river.
Cargo prices for mill run Norway piece
siuff in Chicago are $16.50 to $16.75;
short piece stuff, $16. Mill run hemlock
sells at $12 to $12.50 for short lengths.
The Pacific Coast manufacturers of red
cedar shingles are said to have made an
advance of five cents, with the probability
of another similar advance at an early
date.
The tendency of lath is to decline.
White pine lath is offered in Chicago at $3
to $3.10 a thousand, and No. 2 at $2.50,
but it is believed that these prices are
frequently shaded.
On Wednesday, October 21st, the New
Brunswick Government will offer for sale
the license to cut timber on three square
miles on the Magaguadavic river, above
Flume Ridge, the applicant for. which is
Robert Anderson.
The Muskoka Wood Manufacturing
Company, of Huntsville, Ont., are paying
from $5 to $6 per 1,000 feet for 10 to 16
foot hemlock logs delivered in Vernon
Peninsular or Fairy Lakes, and $7 to $8.50
per M for other hardwoods. ;
Two timber berths were sold by the
New Brunswick Government last week as
follows: Three miles on East Sebbis river
to A. R. Slipp at $50 per mile; 3 miles at
head of Pleasant Brook, Gaspereau river,
to Fred. E. Sayre, at $8.50 per mile.
There were rafted by the Fredericton
Boom Company, of Fredericton, N.B.,
during the past season 34,164 joints of
timber, containing 80,009,575 superficia

feet. This included 780,110 feet of hem-
lock, 8,395,230 feet of cedar, 1,448,340
feet of pine, 1,253 “pieces of pulpwood,
2,967 feet of fir, and 69,356,223 feet of
spruce.
Last week there arrived at Owen Sound,
Ont., for the John Harrison & Sons Com-
pany, a raft containing approximately
3,500,000 feet of timber. The timber was
cut on the company’s limits on the Magnet-
awan river, and included pine, hemlock
and cedar. This is the largest raft ever
brought into Owen Sound harbor, its value
being about $40,000.
One of the most reassuring features in
the present market situation, says the
American Lumberman, is the heavy de-
mand for box lumber. Box and shook
factories are all busy and their require-
ments hold the prices of box grades of
lumber at top notch figures. When the
box factories are busy the general busi-
ness must be in prosperous shape.
The receipts of lumber at the Tona-
wandas during September were 64,870,-
684 feet by water, exceeding the receipts
of the corresponding month of last year
by 17,414,435 feet. Since the season open-
ed 222,606,571 feet have arrived, as com-
pard with 285,586,865 feet for the same
period of 1902. An increase in the ship-
ment of lumber from the Tonawandas over
the Erie canal was recorded last month.
Thomas Bouregard, Captain W. H.
Neale and Captain E. W. Brydges, of
Warroad, Minn., have just concluded a
contract with the Rat Portage Lumber
Company to deliver several million feet of
timber at Warroad next summer. This
timber will be towed to Warroad from
points on the Lake of the Woods and
Rainy River and will be shipped by the
Canadian Northern Railway to the Rat
Portage Lumber Company at Winnipeg.
The contract is one of the largest ever
made for towage on the Lake of the
Woods. ;

THE SOUTH AFRICAN DEMAND.
The confidence inthe capacity of the
South African Colonies to absorb wood
goods remains unabated, and although, as
far as we can learn, the orders tor the
present season are practically completed,
it is believed, probably rightly, that the
demands for the next year will be consid-
erably in excess of those filled this season,
says the Timber Trades Journal, of Lon-
don, Eng. Not only are shippers abroad
absorb the
stocks which they will have to carry over
looking to that market to
the winter, but we hear that a leading
London buyer has recently bought a
thousand standards as a speculation for
the Cape market. As the season advance:
it is now more apparent than ever that a
much larger proportion than usual of this
trade has gone past the London agents,
and it is difficult to understand why Dan-
ish and German firms have been able to
secure so much of this valuable business.

NEW BRUNSWICK STUMPAGE
DUES.
The Lumbermen’s Association of New
Brunswick have presented to the Provin-
cial Government a memorial drawn up
after the declaration that the government
proposed increasing the stumpage, which
is now $1 a thousand feet.
In the memorial they claim that if the
stumpage is to be increased it should be
collected only on merchantable logs. They
recommend a uniform rate of stumpage
as at present throughout the province,
also thata reduced rate be allowed to
operators cutting on burned districts ;
that in certain lands where the lumber is
fit only for pulp wood they be allowed to
cut for the pulp industry and that no
additional stumpage be charged for this.
They recommend the appointment of
practical men as fire wardens to protect
the forests. They also suggest that if

stumpage to $1.25 per thousand that the

the memorial.
FAILU RE OF A GLASGOW FIRM.
On September 2gth the suspension of
McDowall & Neilson, timber merchants,
55 West Regent street, Glasgow, was an-
nounced. The total liabilities are rough-
ly estimated at £100,000, of which a large
proportion falls on the London, Liverpool
and Canadian firms. The firm had been
in existence for about twenty years.
They had a fairly prosperous career and
the failure is reported to have been
brought about mainly by heavy specu-
lation. The list of creditors includes W.
& J. Sharples, Dobell, Beckett & Com-
pany, Robert Cox & Company, J. Bur-
stall & Company, and the?McArthur Bros.
Company, of Quebec ; Allison, Cousland
& Company, and Price & Pearce, of
Glasgow ; A. Dobell & Company, Farn-
worth & Jardine, Crow, Rudoff & Com-
pany, and Frank Harrison & Company,

THE BOSTON MARKET.
Spruce lumber at Boston shows little
change. There is considerable difficulty
in placing orders for dimension stuff.
Most of the lumber from the Kennebec
mills is still going to New York, where
better prices are ruling. There is not
likely to be much improvement in the
supply, as few of the mills would be
benefitted now by high water.* Prices are
steady: Ten and 12 in. dimensions,
$21; 9 in. and under, $19; 12 in. ran-
dom lengths, 10 feet and up, $20.50;
2X3, 2X4, 2X5, 2x6, 2x7 and 3x4, I0 teet
and up, $17 to $17.50; all other randoms,
gin. and under, 10 feet and up, $18 to
$18.50; 5 in. and up, merchantable boards,
$17; matched boards, $18.50 to $20; out
spruce boards, $13 to $14; bundle furring,
$17.
Hemlock lumber is steady and unchang-
ed: Boards, 12,14 and 16 feet stock, $14.50
for good eastern ; Pennsylvania, No. 1,
$18.50 to $19.50 ; No. 2, $15 to $16.50.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
Conservatism is into
lumber transactions to a greater extent
now entering
than it has for some time past. Thereare
many consumers who must continue to buy
lumber for requirements, but few specu-
lative ventures are being entered upon.
Dealers do not wish to carry large stocks,
consequently they seek to find an outlet
for the lumber before purchasing it.
Business, therefore, is somewhat quieter,
but prices continue firm. There is no
large supply of dry stock in the mill yards,
and this fact has encouraged the manu-
facturer to hold for high prices, although
his views in that respect frequently do not
correspond with those of the dealer or
buyer. Conditions, however, have up to
the present been in tavor of the manufac-
turer. Indications point to an average
volume of trade during the fall and ‘early
winter months, although as the building
season draws to a close the market can-
not but feel the loss of the demand from
that quarter.
A scarcity of men for work in the woods
continues to be reported from all sections
of the province. Owing to high wages
and the uncertainty as to lumber prices
next year, there is a disposition to curtail
logging operations this winter, and it is

probable that the cut will be lighter than

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,
In some respects the spruce Jumber
market is less firm than at last writing.
There has been a falling off in the number
of enquiries for stock for local consump-
tion, but the New York market has ab-
sorbed all the spruce lumber that has ar-
centre and there are still

many willing buyers.
Cargo spruce is quite strong.
Great Britain have their contracts pretty
well covered and are not buying to any
extent at the present time. As the sup-
ply at the mills is light, no difficulty is like-
ly to be experienced in maintaining prices.
For cedar shingles there is a slightly im-
proved demand. Several recent sales of
extras have been made at $3.45 for Ros-
ton delivery. Spruce lath is also a shade
firmer.
UNITED STATES.
It is perhaps within the mark to say that
the lumber salesman has been obliged to
put forth more effort during the past week
to sell lumber than at any previous time
this year. Consumers seem to have de-
cided upon a policy of retrenchment, on
the ground that prices are not likely to go
higher, while there is a probability that
they may decline. There is still a fair
volume of business, but the showing is not
favorable when compared with one year
ago, at which time dealers and consumers
were anxious to buy lumber at almost any
price. Reports from the Lake Superior dis-
trict and from Ghicago state that stocks of
low grade inch lumber and Norway di-
mension are well sold up, but that there is
lumber and a
moderate supply of uppers. Many times
within the past few months we have stated
that the call for box lumber was the fea-
ture of the market, and this condition ex-
The box
factories and planing mills are operating
to their fullcapacity, with many unfilled
orders on their books. Buffalo and Tona-
wanda dealers take a somewhat hopeful
view of the situation. While the slight
slackness in the white pine trade may
continue for a time, it is stated that deal-
ers there consider the prospects for the
fall and winter movement

very bright.
Salesmen returning from the Eastern
States have brought back a reasonable
number of orders, and there is a feeling
that after the turn of the year a more
active trade may be expected. Hardwood
lumber has shown no signs of weakness.
Orders have not been as numerous, but
the supply of dry stock is so small that
prices are maintained with ease, A scar-
city of elm has developed, consequent on
the large demand for it in the cooperage
trade. Thick maple is also scarce, sales
of four inch having been made recently
at Buffalo at $40. Maple flooring con-

GREAT BRITAIN.
Recent developments in Great Britain
have caused buyers of lumber to pursue a
very cautious policy. General business is
not in the most healthy condition and
there is little disposition to increase obli-
gations unless for immediate necessities.
The late suspension of the two leading
timber firms is not characterized to aid in
the restoration of confidence, although it
should probably be stated that these fail-
ures were due to circumstances entirely

trade in general. of

Representatives
business unless at materially lower figures,
and as yet they show no disposition to
meet buyers in this respect. Prices of
lumber in stock are quite firm, as hold-
ers realize that they would be compelled
to pay higher figures to replenish their
stock. If shippers refrain from sending
forward consignment cargoes prices are
likely to hold at least until the spring of
next year. Large quantities of Canadian
spruce and pine have been received at
Belfast and Dublin, where the demand has
been sufficient to keep the supply down to
a reasonable point.
In timber, elm, birch and oak are find-
ing a fairly steady sale and values seem
likely to continue firm. There is only a
small quantity of first-class Waney pine in
stock at the leading ports, and should the
demand be of average volume, higher
prices for this class of stock may be ex-
perienced.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
The Spanish River Boom Company
have this season sorted 200,000,000 feet .
of logs.
It is stated that Donald Fraser & Sons,
Fredericton, N.B., will cut 50,000,000 feet
of lumber next season at their mills there
and at Cabano, Que.
There is a marked scarcity of cooperage
stock on account of the heavy apple crop.
Quotations are very wide and consider-
ably higher than last week.
The Scott Lumber Company, of Fred-
ericton, N. B., last week sent a crew of
forty men to the scene of their lumbering
operations on Black river. The company
expects to cut 5,000,000 feet of logs dur-
ing the coming winter.
N. N. Wright & Company, of Spanish
River, Ont., will have eleven camps in
the woods this winter and expect to bank
40,000,000 feet of logs. The Saginaw

THE BOSTON MARKET.
The situation in spruce lumber is
decidedly mixed. The demand is not
large and yet buyers find it difficult to get
desired sizes. Some holders are getting
fancy prices for certain dimensions, said to
be as high as $25 in some cases. Prices
are very firm on all small stuff, and full
quotations are being obtained. The mills
are stlll held up for the lack of logs, and
the supply for the winter promises to be
small. Prices are nominally unchanged,
but firm: Ten and 12 in. dimensions, $21;
gin. and under, $19; 9 and 12 in. random
lengths, 10 ft, and up, $20.50 2x3, 2x4,
2X5, 2x6, 2x7, and 3x4, 10 ft. and up,
$17@17.50; allother random, g in. and
under, 1o ft. and up, $18@ 18.50; 5 in. and
up, merchantable boards, $17; matched
boards, $18.50@20; out spruce boards,
$13@14; bundle furring, $17.
Hemlock lumber is steady and un-
changed.
Hardwood finishirg 'umber continues in
fair demand, especially for quartered oak
and whitewood. Prices are firm:
Quartered oak, $85 to $92; plain oak, $42
to $45; common and rejects, $20 to $25; red
oak, plain, $43; whiiewood, $54 to $56; sap,

_ CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITICN
October 21, 1903
LUMBER CONDITIONS AT GLASGOW.
Messrs. Edmiston & Mitchells,
gow, Scotland, in their last report, review
of Glas-
the lumber market as follows:
In suomitting our September report we
annex the usual comparative statement,
which gives details of imports, the con-
sumption for nine months, and the stock on
hand as compared with recent years. In
Quebec timber, as will be observed, waney
and square pine logs show a decrease of
about 20 per cent. as compared with the
stock at 30th September last year, while
reductions are also noticeable in red pine,
oak, elm, and ash logs. On the other
hand, the stock of 1st, 3rd, and qth pine is
largely in excess of last year, and the same
may be said of pine sidings and spruce
deals, the only items showing a reduction
being 2nd pine anc red pine deals. In
Lower Port spruce and pine the figures are
almost double, and this without taking
into consideration Galatz spruce, of which
there are at least 1,000 standards in the
The
interest, do not call for special mention.
market. other figures, while of
The tendency of the market during the
past month has been somewhat unsatis-
factory, which may be ascribed to various
causes, the chief one perhaps being that
arrivals from the St. Lawrence and lower
ports have been abnormally heavy of late,
and this seems to have had a disquieting
effect on buyers, who have been rather
inclined to avoid ‘‘ex quay” purchases
except at lower prices than have been
ruling of late. Another adverse influence
on the market has been the suspension a
few days ago of a prominent firm of
Glasgow merchants, full details of which
are not yet available. The stability ot the
market will now largely depend upon the
import during the next month or two,
which it is hoped will be on a less lavish
scale than has ruled of late.
The Clyde shipbuilding returns for the
month show that 18 vessels aggregating
about 23,000 tons were launched, against
24 vessels of 54,000 tons for the same
month last year, while the new orders
fixed amount to no less than about 45,000
tons—a very satisfactory addition to the
work on hand.
The housebuilding trade continues in a
satisfactory condition, the amount of work
in progress and in prospect being quite
considerable.
WHITE PINE.—The import during the
month amounts to about 2000 loads.
Business is quiet and we hear of no trans-
actions of any importance. There are,
however, one or two 700d enquiries pend-
ing. Stocks are moderate and prices con-
tinue firm.
RED P
and the stock, though low, is sufficient
for all the demand.
Oak.—The import during the month
amounts to about 630 loads. The stock
consists of 4,500 loads, of which about
2700 loads is Quebec, and 1800 loads
Southern States wood. Railway com-
panies having filled their requirements, the
demand is languid.
EL_mM.—There has been an import of 800
loads during the month. The _ stock
amounts to 3400 loads, and while it is 500
loads less than the same time last year, it
is still too heavy for prospective require-
ments. There have been no sales of any
importance. Prices of first-class rock are
firm, but 2nd class and soft elm are weak.
BirRCH.—Quebec.—The import for the
month amounts to 270 loads, some of
which was disposed of from ship's side
and some stored. There is very little de-
mand, and the stock, which amounts to
1460 loads (Quebec and Low Port), is
more than ample for the market's appar-
ent requirements for some time to come.*™
~
Lower Port.—There is not much doing
and the nominal value of 15-inch Pictou
logsis 17d. There is stilla large stock
on hand, which is moving off very slowly.
AsH.-—The import has been compara-
tively unimportant recently, but small
though it has been, it has been ample for
all the demand which exists for this wood
nowadays. The nominal value of good
15-inch average is about 2s. to 2s. 1d. per
foot.
Deas, &c.—Deliveries from public
yards have been large, but new business
has been very quiet and disappointing.
Imports have been on a large scale, and
stocks of all kinds are accumulating.
Prices, however, continue firm, Current
values are as under :—Broad first pine
deals, £32 to £34; 11-inch, £29 to £31 ;
ends and non-dimensions, £22 to £24.
Second pine deals :—11-inch and up, £19

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The lumber market is showing a degree
of strength that is very encouraging to
holders of stock. Efforts have been made
to depress prices, but with the exception
of the upper grades, which were perhaps
forced to an abnormally high point, the
attempt has been unsuccessful. This may
be explained in part by the fact that many
of the large manufacturers sold their
entire cut early in the season, and there is
consequently no accumulation of stock in
mill yards. The close of the season will
find comparatively small stocks of pine
lumber in first hands. Ottawa manufac-
turers seem determined to endeavor to
obtain higher prices for the production of
next year. Already one manufacturer has
sold his output of British deals at an
advance. In Toronto there is a steady
consumption of lumber in building opera-
tions, and this condition exists
generally throughout the province.
The range of hardwood prices is quite
wide. A few manufacturers are disposed
to offer concessions to effect sales
rather than carry their stock into the win-
ter, while others, and the larger number,
quite
are holding prices firmly, some even ask-
ing an advance upon late quotations. A
Toronto dealer was recently asked $22 for
inch soft elm at the mill. There is a quite
active demand for birch lumber, which has
_ been a ready seller all season.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
There is a more active demand for
spruce lumber. Manufacturers report
numerous inquiries for stock for shipment
to Ontario, where it is being used for
Many purposes in place of white pine,
owing to the difference in price. Con-
siderable shipments are also being made
. tothe Eastern States. The demand for
certain sizes is in excess of the supply.
This is particularly so in the case of clap-
boards and heavy dimensions. It is
learned that there is very little stock yet
to go forward to England, the Alexander
Gibson Company, for instance, having
completed their last shipment. It is
probable that still higher prices will be
witnessed within the next three months.
There is a little better feeling in the
shingle trade also, although Extras still
range in price from $3.35 to $3.50 for
Boston delivery.
UNITED STATES.
The changes in our price list this week
reflect very closely the tendency of the
market. Certain sizes of cutting-un stock
and fine common have been marked down
about $2 per thousand feet. This is the
result of a limited demand for good pine
lumber. Accumulation of this class of
stock has been in evidence during the
past two months, but nevertheless the
supply is not exceptionally large, as at
the beginning of this accumulation the
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
wholesale and mill yards were carrying
very light stocks. In contradistinction to
this condition is the decided scarcity of
and active demand for box lumber. All
that can be found is quickly bought up.
In Philadelphia, for instance, where deal-
ers are holding aloof from the better
grades of pine, they are taking all the box
lumber that is offered. At Buffalo and
Tonawanda spruce is being used for box
making on account of the shortage and
high price of the box grades of pine.
Throughout Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan the trade is gradually getting
down to a winter basis, but in the Eastern
States activity is more marked and there
isa considerable distribution of stock to
retail yards and manufacturing industries.
Hardwood prices all along the line are
well maintained. The scarcity of certain
kinds of lumber is still quite visible. In
Wisconsin it is said there is practically no
hardwood lumber remaining unsold, and
in Michigan elm stock is exhausted.
While there is a brisk movement of thick
maple, flooring is still in the same dormant
state as last reporied, the recent meeting
of manufacturers failing to stiffen prices.
Long lengths in all kinds of hardwoods
are bringing much higher prices than the
regular run,
Shingles are slightly stronger, while the
lath market is dull and prices barely
steady. Good white pine lath are quoted
at $3 to $3.10 and mixed at $2.70 to $2.80
in Chicago.
GREAT BRITAIN.
If anything, there is a slight improve-
nent in the British lumber market. There
are no signs that shippers intend lowering
their prices, while importers having stock
for sale show no inclination to sell below
current quotations. These two circum-
stances, it is contended, should create
more confidence, but at the same time it
is pointed out that any attempt to advance
prices sharply would be likely to prove
disastrous. Inland stocks are compara-
tively light and must be replenished at an
early date. When buying for this purpose
commences, the retail trade will no doubt
assume a brighter aspect. It is remark-
able that Canadian lumber of all kinds has
not only heldits own, but several lines have
exhibited an advance. The depression in
the cotton trade has restricted the con-
sumption of spruce, but this obstacle to
business is gradually being removed, and
when this is accomplished there will be an
active demand tor box lumber. A Glas-
gow report states that a fair volume of
business has been put through during the
past ten days in pine and spruce deals and
sidings, while in log timber an active
trade has been done, including several
sales of Quebec waney boardwood and
square pine. A correspondent at Liver-
pool writes : ‘* Quebec goods have come
pretty well into consumption. Spruce has
again done some business, but many

that consumers should “ stock up,” as in
my opinion prices will shortly show some

STOCKS AND PRICES.
There is such a scarcity of slack coop-
erage stock that it is almost impossible to
quote prices.
Thirteen steamers and four square
riggers have loaded lumber at Bathurst,
N.B., this season.
& Gilbert McMulkin, of St. John, N.B.,
has commenced logging operations back
of Upper Gagetown.
Avery & Pringle, of Dead Creek, Ont.,
have forty men employed in the woods in

Tenders are invited by Jos. Hunter, of
Victoria, B.C., for furnishing 30,000 hewn
ties for the Esquimalt and Nanaimo rail-
ways.
Ament & Krauter, of Brussels, Ont.,
have started cutting logs on their timber
limits in Grey county. They will take out
elm, ash, pine and hemlock.
The Canadian Pacific Railway is said
to have placed an order with a British
Columbia manufacturer for 2,000,000 feet
of lumber for the construction of new
buildings at Winnipeg.
A raft of logs from Jack Fish Bay
reached Rainy River, Ont., last week. It
contained over 3,500,000 feet which the
Backus & Brook Company recently sold
to the Shelvin Clarke Lumber Company.
At Bangor, Me., spruce prices are
$18.50 to $19 for 10 and 12 inch dimen-
sions ; $16.50 to $17 for 9 inch and un-
der; $18 to $18.50 for wide randoms ;
and $16 to $16.50 for 9 inch and under,
Considerable square timber will be
manufactured this season in the Ottawa
valley. Klock Bros. are operating on the
Quinze river, Edward Moore on the
Dumoine river and Fraser & Company on
the Jock river.
The lumber surveyed at the port of
Bangor, Me., for the three months ending
September joth was 46,000,000 feet,
about 3,000,000 feet more than the corres-
ponding period of 1902 and 9,000,000 feet
more than in 1go1.
At Toledo, Ohio, common pine sells
freely at full list ; No. 4 boards are strong
and in rather light supply ; Norway is
strong; hemlock boards have moved freely
and are in good supply, although there is
no abundance of 16-foot lengths.
The lumber exports from St. John,
N.B., for the week ending October 17th
were a cargo of 1,451,500 feet of deals to
England, 483,283 feet of long lumber,

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEBKLY EDITION (1.
a ap em yaemeeeepngeminrenenc=—icraremmntiwecm ones ——er
PREDICTION AS TO WHITE PINE.
A correspendent of the American Lum-
berman makes the following prediction
concerning the lumber market in general
and white pine in particular: ‘‘ Never in
the history of the lumber trade has there
been an extremely low market when any
particular grade met with an active de-
mand and at almost abnormal prices that
the condition of the market for the other
grades benefitted.
The grade which is at present meeting
with this great demand is box lumber,
which is pretty well out of the market.
Upper grades of lumber have dropped in
price very much, but all good lumbermen,
especially those manufacturing sash, doors
and blinds, realize that shop and better
was not eventually
has been too high for the last year or more.
There is no doubt that the feeling of un-
easiness and present dullness in the lum-
ber market can be laid at the door of the
unsettled condition of labor. In large
cities, especially in the Pittsburg district,
building has fallen off materially, as the
people are virtually afraid to go into a
Jarge building proposition on account of
the uncertainty of the time the jobs will be
completed.
“ As long as white pine can be had it
will be used and there is no immediate
danger of any great decline. All lumber-
men know that there is always a pulling
in and conservative action during the
year just preceeding a presidential elec-
tion.”

THE BARBADOS MARKET.
The last report of Messrs. S. P.
Musson, Son & Company reviews the
Barbados lumber market as follows:
‘““There have been no arrivals of either
white pine or spruce during the fortnight;
stocks of former are again very bare, and
first arrivals will command full rates. In
spruce we anticipate.a good demand for
crop requirements, and as the high price
of white pine will enhance the value of
spruce, shippers should do well if they
take the chance of the market. No
arrivals of shingles have taken place, but
we expect a cargo of about 1,500,000
Laying Cedar, of which we have placed
about two-thirds at $2.30. We have
heard nothing further about the assorted
cargo alluded to in our last. The
‘‘ Harrington’ arrived on zgth ult., with
5,500 bundles French hoops, a portion of
which were sold ex wharf at $20 for long
and $17.50 for short; but for balance, which
have been stored, $20.50 and $18.50 is
now asked,”

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The buying of small lots of lumber
which has been so general during the
past month is paipable evidence that
retailers and consumers throughout the
province are not heavily stocked. It may
be that the exceptionally fine weather is
responsible for a larger consumption in
outdoor work than was anticipated, but
the many requests for early delivery would
seem to indicate a sold-out condition.
Accordingly, firmness cf prices has ruled.
The predicted reaction in white, pine
values is still confined to the higher grades,
which, as stated last week, were perhaps
selling relatively too high. And even
these grades are showing strength, for ~
from Ottawa comes the information that
the 1904 cuts of the McLachlin mills at
Arnprior and _ the
Buckingham have already been contracted
for, and rumor says at an advance over
the prices of the past year. There have
also been some negotiations for blocks of
Georgian Bay stock to be sawn next
The lower grades continue to be
in steady request. A few days ago
2,000,000 feet of log run pine changed
hands at fifty cents over the price at which
the same grade of lumber sold last spring.
McLaren mills at
season.
The average price of log run at the mill is
$18, shorts from $11 to $14, box $14, and
scoots $5 to $6. Very few of the mills
have any stock of mill culls or box lumber
for sale, so great has been the demand.
Hardwood buyers do not take every-
thing offered without discrimination, as
they were disposed to do earlier in the
year, but they are still buying for cus-
tomers and picking up lots on speculation
whenever the price is aninducement. No
weakness is visible in any of the hard-
woods.
It is difficult to make sales of lath and
shingles. Shipments of such material to
the Eastern States have fallen off of late,
and the trend of prices is towards a
slightly lower basis,
Satter
- Il.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,
Values of spruce lumber continue re-!
markably firm. Manufacturers are hold-
ing out for higher prices for next season’s
production, and if the demand from the
United States and Great Britain should be
nearly as active as during the past season,
it is quite probable that they will succeed
in their efforts to establish a higher selling
basis. Some contracting has already
been done, but as a rule shippers are
pursuing a cautious policy until matters
in Great Britain become more settled.
New York is absorbing a large quantity of
stock. Cargoes arriving there have
been readily taken at firm prices. Some
mills are getting an advance of one dollar
per thousand for large sizes, which are
particularly scarce.
UNITED STATES.
The buying of lumber in the United
States has been confined almost exclusive-
ly to actual needs, yet the volume of
business has been sufficient to create the
impression that a very fair trade wil) con-
tinue throughout the winter months.
While there is not likely to be a further
general rise in prices, it is equally certain
that no material slump will occur, so that
those in need of lumber are disposed to
place orders at current prices. Reports
from the Lake Superior district are of an
encouraging character. Recently there
have been large sales of factory lumber
and low grade boards, which have been
shipped in large quantities as far east as
New York. The stock of these grades at
the mills is almost exhausted. Other
grades are held in moderate quantity,
excepting selects, of which there is an
accumulation. There is a considerable
supply of No. 3 boards at interior mills at
the head of Lake Superior, but on Lake
Michigan there is not much of that class of
lumber that has not passed out of first
hands.
sistent in demanding lower prices from
Eastern buyers have been per-
the western manufacturers, but up to the
present time the latter have not seemed
disposed to yield. Hemlock piece stuff
occupies a unique position, the supply
being less than in any previous season.
Conditions‘tavor high prices for this class
of lumber, although
whether manufacturers
it is a questicn
consider it
advisable to make an advance.
Hardwood stocks are low and the indi-
will
cations point to a steady market with an
advancing tendency, as there will doubt-
less be a pronounced scarcity before the
large mills commence operations next
spring.
Shingles and lath are slightly weaker.
The Wisconsin and Minnesota mills are
said to be carrying an abnormal supply of
lath.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The high prices asked for next season’s
production of lumber are having a strength-
x
ening effect upon the British market. Im-
; porters refuse to dispose of present hold-
ings at a sacrifice until they feel reason-
‘’ ably certain that
they will be able to
replenish their supply on favorable terms.
The resumption of work by.the cotton mills
has stimulated the consumption, but re-
ports still tell of an irregular demand. A
Manchester writer says that it is remark-
able how prices keep on advancing, es-
pecially in spruce deals. Very stiff c.i.f.
prices are now being asked, and it is very
likely that spruce may go up ten shillings
per standard more before the winter is
over. Three inch by seven inch are very
scarce and dear, a large line having re-
cently been sold at two shillings six pence
per standard more than an average of a
cargo could have been bought for a short
time ago. There is also a scarcity at
Manchester of 24% x7 inch spruce. At
the last auction sale first quality Quebec
spruce brought £12 per standard, which
is rather below the previous sales. Third
quality spruce brought £9 1os and fourth
quality £8 10s. There is brisk compe-
tition for the best quality of pine lumber,
but the lower grades are not in great
demand.
There is much speculation as to the
prices that will rule for first-open-water
shipments next spring. Very little buy-
ing has as yet been done, the disposition of
the importers being to delay as long as
possible before closing contracts in the
hope of being able to form an idea as to
the prices which are likely to rule. At
the present greatly
divided, some contending that higher
prices may be obtained, others that it will
be necessary to reduce prices in order to
faciliate buying.

desirable sizes is extremely limited

SALIENT FEATURES IN WHITE PINE.
It is well known throughout the trade
that the most active stock of white pine in
the market is the low grade stuff used for
box making. It is also the class that is in
shortest supply compared to the extent
and urgency of demand for the higher
grades of lumber. . The qualities of white
pine employed in box manufacture are in-
cluded in Nos. 3, 4, 5 and 6, four inches
and upward in width.
As a matter of fact there is no specific
grade of box lumber ; it is simply coarse,
common or cull stock and below the grade
of No. 2.

grades have been bought up as never be-
fore, because scarcity has been such and
prices have been so high that manufac-
turers have been forced to take the lower
grades or nothing.
Present wholesale prices of No. 3 white
pine on a Chicago basis are $16 to $17 a
thousand ; No. 4, $13 to $13.50; No. 5,
$8.50 to $9, and No. 6, $6. At the same
time No. 2 is selling at $19 to $20.50.
The present box lumber supply is lower
than ever before known at the close of the
season. Nos. 3 and 4 are practically out
of first hands, while Nos. 5 and 6 are fast
disappearing. It is thought that this al-
most complete exhaustion of the white
pine coarse lumber supply must have a re-
flex influence on demand and prices of low

supply of all coarse stock from No. 2
downward having been exhausted, Lold-
ers of the residue of better lumber will be
inclined to insist on good figures for it.
The only kind that now is in surplus is
shop lumber, and the manufacturers have
no doubt that it all will be wanted in the
ordinary course ot the coming year's
manufacture. As for uppers, they are like
wheat in store, or gold in the vault ; even
better than that, like money at interest on
good security, because this year’s cut is
getting dry and therefore more valuable.

WEEKLY EDITION November 4, 1903
COMMENTS ON THE LUMBER SITU-
ATION IN GREAT BRITAIN.
The Belfast correspondent of the Tim-
The
spruce deals is large and increasing, and
ber News says : consumption of
prices are fairly steady. There is but little
doubt that
deals will increase in Ireland before long,
the requirements in spruce
for on every side there is a disposition to
put up new buildings and to touch up old
ones, which will mean very shortly a de-
cided increase in consumption of timber of
all kinds.
The Timber Trades Jeurnal: The pine
market keeps up its strong position, and
-1s likely to do so in the face that higher
prices are again demanded by Canadian
lumbermen. There is very little spruce on
offer, and such few cargoes as are avail-
able tor the West Coast are held for high-
er prices than were current a week or two
ago. The output for the remainder of the
season seems from all information we can
gather from the other side, likely to be
small, owing to the quantity of logs which
are still hung up for want of rain. We
have been favored in the frankest manner
Cedar Cove Mill,
Vancouver, B.C.
Lumber, Lath, Shingt
edar Bevelled Siding, Cedar Door and Sash Stock, cut to size, Cedar Finish, Base, Casing,
with the inspeetion of telegrams upon
some spruce business, from which we
gather that the shippers hold the whip
hand, and our conclusion is that, so tar
from any retrograde movement being
looked for in this market, everything
points to an upward movement.
A Dublin correspondent : Quite a num-
ber of parcels of spruce, principally 7x3, are
being dumped on this market by Quebec.
Three such parcels are shortly due per
** Malin Head,” and as importers are al-
ready overstocked with this size, bought
under contract, they are not disposed to
look on favorably at this influx of odd-
ments, which is causing marked depression

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Considering the somewhat unfavorable
conditions, the market for spruce lumber
keeps up remarkably well, Building oper-
ations in New York have been further tied
up by labor troubles, and the consumption
of lumber in tiat city is likely to be greatly
curtailed, yet buyers there seem willing to
purchase spruce whenever it is oftered at
reasonable prices. Quotations generally
are unchanged, although clapboards are
less firm than a fortnight ago. Canadian
shippers who were then getting $45 for
No. 1, Boston delivery, report that the
best offer now is $44, while clears which
sold at $43 now comand only $41. Other
grades are correspondingly weak, but at
the lower prices the market has held quite
steady. Spruce laths are in steady de-
mand at $3.10 to $3.20 for 1% inch and $3.-
25 to $3.35 for 15g inch. New Brunswick
cedar shingles are steady at $3.40 for ex-
tras on Boston rate of freight.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
There is now a more plentiful supply of
pine and spruce lumber, also British
Columbia cedar and fir, the demand of
late having fallen off. Many of the new
buildings in Winnipeg are nearing com-
pletion and dealers are disposed to reduce
their stock of lumber
further orders. A steady trade through-
out the winter months is looked for. Lath

UNITED STATES.
Unsettled conditions dominate the iron
and steelindustry of the United States.
Steel billets and steel products generally
have been reduced in price, in keeping
with a falling off in’ demand therefor.
Such adjustment is regarded by many as
strong evidence of the near approach of
less prosperous times, and in many quar-
ters there is a disposition to pursue a
policy of retrenchment. Dealers are not
buying lumber in large quantities, appar-
ently believing that they will be able to

purchase at lower prices next spring.
Nevertheless, there is a very satisfactory
movement of lumber, the large crop of
corn and average yield of wheat having
placed the farmers in a position to carry
out necessary improvements. Such a
thing as pessimism does not exist, the
opinion being that there will be a steady
demand for lumber throughout the winter
months. The shipments from Minnea-
polis during the month of October were
upwards of 43,000,000 feet, as compared
with 37,000,000 feet for the corresponding
month of last year. From Duluth 38,-
000,000 feet were shipped last month,
which figures indicate a very satisfactory
volume of trade. There has been no
abatement in the demand for box lumber,
the supply of which is more nearly ex-
hausted than for a long time. Buffalo
and Tonawanda dealers state that there
is a steady call for barn and box boards
‘and a continued shrinkage of low grade
stocks. While there is not the snap to
the demand for hardwood lumber which
was in evidence one month ago, there is
constant buying of small lots by consum-
ers, implement and furniture
factories, and an exceedingly good trade
in quartered oak. Hemlock lumber is
quite active, with prospects favorable for
a continuation of prevailing conditions.
such as
GREAT BRITAIN.
The best that can be said of the British
lumber market is that prices continue
steady. Consumption has not increased
and consumers are disposed to purchase
very cautiously. On the other hand, values
of lumber in stock show a hardening ten-
dency, which would appear to be the re-
sult of the firm prices that are asked by
shippers for next season's stock. There
is a movement on foot to base the asking
prices on the average of actual values ob-
tained this year, which would probably be
satisfactory to shippers. In London im-
porters are apparently in favor of slightly
lower prices, but it is a question whether
they will be successful in bringing about
any reduction. Broad first quality pine
deals are-selling at from £32 to £34 per
standard, rs inch at £29 to £31, and ends
at £22 to £24. Some transactions in spruce
have recently taken place at slightly ad-
vanced prices. At Preston and one or two
other ports there is a scarcity of 3x7 inch
spruce. Square and waney timber is not
selling as readily as might be expected.
The long continued depression in the furni-
ture trade has resticted the consumption
of birch, and the stock on hand is consid-
ered to be sufficient to meet requirements.
Canadian oak has sold quite freely at a
slight advance.
The attention of mill superintendents
who may be looking for a good position
is directed to the offer of a Quebec lumber
and shingle manufacturing company ap-
pearing among the want advertisements

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBEMAN.)
There is really very little of interest in
the Ottawa district market at present.
Shipments from Montreal for export are
better than they were a few weeks ago.
The last boat sails for Lord Alverstone’s
country on the 21st, and it will carry a
goodly supply of lumber from the Ottawa
river and Cache Bay points. A shortage
of cars is complained of and this has some-
thing to do with the movement of lumber.
The local shipment to New York points is
not very Jarge.
Of course, the oft repeated trouble of
scarcity of-men in the woods is heard day
in and day out, yet while some maintain
that there will be a shortage of fully
twenty-five per cent. in the log output,
others claim that, as the season started
earlier, the log output will run closer to
that of last season. ;
One thing is certain, there will bea
falling of in the production of square tim-
ber. The Kippewa district was weil
trimmed last season and it and the others
will make poor measurements this season.
The report that the cut of McLachlan
Bros.’ mill at Arnprior has been sold to
E. H. Lemay, of Montreal, is refuted in
Ottawa lumber circles. The item as a mat-
ter of fact referred to last year’s cut, where-
as, as is well known, this was negotiated
long ago, and no mill has 40,000,000 or
20,000,000 feet still on hand. The big
sales will hardly be made before Decem-
ber or January.

Nevember 11, 1903
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
Ex-Ald. R, Davidson, who recently re-
turned from England and Scotland, says
business inthe lumber line will be good
between Great Britain and Canada. As
soon as he came home Mr. Davidson took
to the woods. Structural work on David-
son & Thackray's big new mill, planing,
sash and door, opposite the Union station,
is completed and the machinery is begin-
ning to be put in position, This mill, it is
expected, will be the fastest in the world.
Ina recent speech that caused some
comment in Ottawa, Hon. Adelard Tur-
geon, Minister of Agriculture for the pro-
vince of Quebec, defended the timber
policy, showing that the present Crown
lands policy is the best that could be
adopted for the good of the province.
Figures, according tothe press reports,
were quoted to show that it was nonsensi-
cal to say that the public domain was
being handed over to the United States.
He said that of the 1,986,300 cords of
wood used by the 762 mills of the United
States, Canada contributed only 300,000
cords and Quebec two-thirds of this. Ot
the 200,000 cords of wood exported from
Quebec only 50,000 were taken from pub-
he domain. An export duty, the minister
claimed, would not bring the mills to Can-
ada but would be a benefit to New Bruns-
wick and Ontario. Last year the value
of wood expurted was $1,300,000, and of
this Quebec provided not less than $700,-
ooo.
The recent land slide in the Lievere
river above Buckingham that put several
farms out of business, also interfered with
the operations of the McLaren Lumber
Company. The rush of water threw the
logs several feet above the natural surface
of the streams, and teams had to be
brought into service to rcll them back.
The water was so dense that the McLaren
pulp mill and the Riordon pulp mill had to
be closed down.

THE GLASGOW MARKET.
The following particulars of the Glasgow
market are furnished by Messrs. Edmiston
& Mitchells :
During the past month business on the
whole has been fairly active, and though
there has been no appreciation in prices,
still it can be said that they have not in any
sense lost ground.
As indicated in our circular last month
there seemed to be a tendency towards
somewhat easier prices in first quality
F. M°CIBBON & SONS,
pine, but this has not made much head-
way, as recent imports of such have not
only been on a moderate scale, but they
have been firmly held, and in most cases
bave been stored where the prices re-
quired were not forthcoming. There has
been a considerable import from Quebec,
Montreal, and the lower ports during the
month, spruce predominating.
A fair amount of business has been
passing in teak, pitch, pine, and spruce,
and numerous transactions are also re-
ported to have been made in waney and
square pine, etc., all tending to indicate a
healthy, general trade. For American
hardwoods the demand has been active,
except perhaps in the case of oak plarks
and boards, which have been imported in
excess of the market’s requirements.
WHITE OR YELLOW Pine. -The im-
port during the month consists of about
1000 loads waney and 2000 loads square
timber. There have been a few good
lines placed during the month at prices
ranging from 4s. 6d. to 4s. 7d. for first
quality 19-inch waney, and 3s. to 3s. 1d.
for 800 feet first quality square. Stocks
are moderate and prices firm.
RED PiNE.—There has been no import
during the month, and the deliveries have
been small Stock is light, but sufficient.
Oak.—The import has been 800 loads
from Quebec. Business has been quiet,
though deliveries from the ponds are fair.
Stocks are now heavy and enquiries are
few.
E_m.—There has been no import during
the month. There have been a few en-
quiries for 800 to goo feet first-class rock,
but small wood and second-class wood are
difficult to move. Stocks are heavy
BIRCH.—The import for October has
been moderate, but has been quite ample
for all the demand that exists. With the
long-continued depression in the furniture
trade the consumption of birch in this
market has dwindied away very consider-
ably compared with a few years ago.
Values are nominally round about 1s. 7d.

ONTARIO GOVERNMENT TIMBER
SALE.
It is understood that the Ontario Gov-
ernment has decided to change in one re-
spect the conditions governing the sale og
timber berths in the districts of Nipiss ng,
Algoma and Rainy River to be held on
December gth. Purchasers of limits will
be allowed fifteen years in which to re-
move the timber, instead of ten years as
stated in the original conditions.
CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
Lumber is not moving as actively as
one week ago. The high freight rates
have restricted shipments, many manu-
facturers having decided to carry over
until next spring stock which earlier in
the season they intended to ship. The
increased rates have also resulted in some
cases in the dropping of negotiations
which were under way for the purchase of
stock. These circumstances are not
such as to give strength to the market.
Nevertheless, a number of inquiries have
been received for small lots of pine lum-
ber for shipment to Buffalo and Tona-
wanda and other eastern centres. The
Bay City and Saginaw dealers have
moved most of the stock bought in
Ontario and are in good shape for the
winter business. Box lumber and good
culls continue to have the call and prices
of these grades are exceptionally strong.
Hemlock is also moving somewhat freely
and the supply of dry stock at the mills

is limited. Manufacturers still insist on
full prices for hardwoods.
smaller inport of
The expected
logs this winter is
already exerting an influence upon values,
and dealers and consumers who have
delayed in purchasing stock for their
winter requirements cannot yet feel
assured that they will be given any con-
cessions. While the supply of basswood
is greater than during the summer months,
it is held in strong hands and can only be
obtained by paying the prices asked by
manufacturers.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Prices of spruce lumber generally are
unchanged, although special sizes area
little firmer. There continues to be an
active demand for stock for shipment to
the Eastern States, while some manufac-
turers are making considerable shipments
to Ontario points. Offerings of clapboards,
and particularly of the narrow widths, are
larger than one month ago. Extras are
quoted at $43 to $44; clears, $40 to $42;
second clears, $38; and extra No. 1, $28.
Few sales of New Brunswick shingles are
being made above $3.40 for extras on
Boston freight rate, while there is a large
supply of low grade shingles and prices
thereof are inclined towards weakness.
There is a scarcity of spruce shingles,
which are firmer.
UNITED STATES.
Dealers in the United States hesitate to
put in large stocks of lumber. Current
requirements represent a fair trade, but as
a general rule there is little buying for the
future. That prices remain steady in the
face of industrial depression is one of the
Buffalo and
Tonawanda dealers, in contradistinction
most encouraging signs.
to dealers at most other points, report a
very satisfactory volume of business. All
low grade pine, including norway, is very
strong and an advance is predicted before
spring. In the Lake Superior district
there is a surplas of low grade shop
lumber and No. 2 boards, but box grades
are about sold out and norway dimension
is in light supply. In Chicago it is
reported that trade is about what it should
be at this season of the year, and it is
believed that prices are not likely to yield
to any extent during the winter months.
Eastern spruce is scarce and strong. The
“anills are running full time, but are unable
to supply the demand for random and
certain other grades. There is not a
heavy movement of shingles nor lath, and
prices of both these commodities are in-
clined towards weakness. Cedar shingles
are quoted at $2 to $2.40 in the Saginaw
valley.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The feeling in British timber circles is
somewhat better than at last writing. The
stock of unsold lumber is less than one
year ago, which clearly indicates that the
consumption has been larger than was
generally supposed, as there has been no
great falling off in imports. The quantity
of deals, battens and boards in the Surrey
Commercial Docks at London is nearly
3,000,000 pieces less than at the corres-
The effect of this
shortage is partially offset by the present
inactive demand, but if there should be
ponding time last year.
even an average consumption during the
Winter months, should be little
difficulty in keeping prices near their
present basis. In both London and Liver-
pool pine and spruce remain firm in price,
with a prospect of higher values obtaining
for next year’s import.

There is a better
demand for first and second quality pine
deals than for thirds and fourths. In
spruce deals the most urgent demand is

their stock, as there promises to be a

shortage before next year’s shipments
shall reach British ports. Very few
transactions for next year’s supply are as
yet reported, but it is stated that a few
have taken place at figures quite as high
as those which ruled last spring. In square
timber the consumption is quite in excess
of that of the fall of 1902. Stocks are
light and shippers are asking exceptionally
high prices for 1904 delivery. A large
quantity of Quebec oak was sold ata

COOPERAGE STOCK.
The cooperage stock situation at the
present time, says the Sutherland-Innes
Company, of Chatham, Ont., is ina very
unsausfactory condition, both from the
view of the manufacturer and the cooper.
The
supply, and manufacturers are at their
demand for stock far exceeds the
wit’s end to know how they can keep their
going. What
has been manufactured this summer has
regular customers stock
been turned out at very great expense.
In the first place, raw material is costing
more than ic ever did before. The labor
question has been a very serious one, and
wages have advanced from 50 to 75 per
cent., and even at the advanced rates very
of the mills who had logs to work on or few
staves to joint could get their goods turned
out. It has possibly been one of the most
trying years for the manulacturers, on
this account, that they have ever exper-
ienced, as they have had to turn down
orders trom old and valued customers,
CANADA LOMBERMAN WEEKLY EDIViON

The
almost universal, and is not confined to
irrespective of prices. situation is
any one locality.
Mills nearly all over the country are ab-
solutely bare ofstock. The supply of logs
pu! in last winter was very small—not 25
per cent. of what is usually put in—ard in
a great many instances the logs which
were cut in the winter, and were not able
to be hauled during the short
still lying in the woods, as it has been im-
winter, are
possible to do any summer lumbering in
most localities. There is no doubt but
that some of the coopers will suffer during
the winter for lack of stock. Apple barrel
buyers have already had a hard time to
get their supplies, and, where possible,
have obtained boxes to pack their apples
in when they could not get barrels. In
instances where contracts were made for
apple barrels at 35 cents by the coopers,
and the coopers could not yet their stock,
the apple packers have generously come
to the help of the coopers and raised their
prices up to 4o and 50 cents per barrel, to °
enable them to bring stock in from a long
distance and at very high prices.
a
It is too early yet to figure on the supply
of material for this winter. Timber, of
course, is getting scarcer all the time, and
it will require an abnormally good winter
to enable the mills to stock up as they
would like. There will be practically no
stock of any kind carried over next year. .
7 sa
November 18, 1903
Everything in the way of staves or head-
ing will'certainly be cleaned out, and few,
ifany, hoops will be carried over. We
look for very high prices of stock for the
next six mouths. In faet, it will be diffi-
cult for coopers to get the stock they
require.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The expected light input of logs this
this winter is doing much to keep lumber
prices A csnservative policy is
being pursued by operators for fear that
the Presidential election may limit the
demand in the United States next year.
A falling off in the number of inquiries for
lumber for shipment to the Eastern
States has probably magnified the fear.
Shipments to Buffalo are slower than they
have been for some time, although there
is still a good demand for 12 inch boards.
Local trade keeps up remarkably well
and the mills will go into winter quarters
firm.
with comparatively light stocks.
The hardwoods are still characterized
by firmness and efforts of buyers to ob-
tain stock below manufacturers’ quota-
Quar-
tered oak is exceptionally firm. Maple is
also firm and scarce. It is almost im-
possible to buy firsts and seconds and
therefore difficult to give current quota-
tions. There is no likelihood of a large
cut of hardwood this winter, and as there
will be verv little dry lumber to be had
when the mills resume work in the spring,
an abnormal accumulation of stock seems
out of the question.
tions have met with little success.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
Lumber prices are not as uniform as
earlier in the season, nor isthe demand
particularly active. Dealers have been
expecting a drop in prices and have al-
lowed their stock torun down. The mills,
however, are not carrying heavy stocks,
a» the consumption this year has been
close to the production. There is a fair
movement of flooring, ceiling, siding, and
finishing lumber. Some of the saw mills
in British Columbia have shut down owing
to lack of local orders, but the foreign
trade continues brisk and the few mills
catering to that branch are running night
and day.
UNITED STATES.
The volume of the lumber business of
the past week has been smaller, perhaps,
than for any other week this fall. On all
sides there is a disposition to reduce stocks
and allow the manufacturer to carry the
lumber over the winter. It has been more
difficult to secure orders and occasionally
a slight reduction in price has been made
to effect a sale. It is expected that during
the winter months there will be consider-
able buying for immediate needs, as con-
suming industries have permitted their
stocks to become unreasonably low. Pass-
ing from a consideration of the demand
to a study of the conditions in respect to
stocks, we find that everything is in favor
of a steady market and firm prices. The
quantity of unsold stock at the mills is
much lighter than one yearago. At Min-
neapolis the stock of pine lumber is
250,000,000 feet, as compared with 312,-
000,000 feet at same time last year. Du-
luth will have a stock of unsold lumber at
the close of the season of about 60,000,000
feet, while in the Saginaw valley stocks
are exceptionally small. The white pine
firms of the Tonawandas held a meeting
ast week to ascertain the amount of stock
on hand, at which the fact was disclosed
that there is an actual shortage of 25 per
cent. from the amount usually on hand at
the close of navigation. There is approxi-
mately 158,000,000 feet, exclusive of box
lumber, while in former years it has usually
exceeded 200,000,000 feet. Dealers as-
serted that under such conditions cutting
of prices was entirely unwarranted. Turn-
ing to spruce lumber the position is equally
as strong as that of pine. Maine spruce
has been absorbed all season as fast as it
has been manufactured, and there is still
no stock accumulating at the mills. While
the hardwood trade is quieter orders are
still plentiful and many dealers report dif-
ficulty in obtaining the necessary stock.
Manufacturers do not anticipate a break
in prices. Maple flooring bas not ad-
vanced in spite of a goodly number of
orders.
GREAT BRITAIN.
There is no animation in the British
lumber market. Dealers who are carry-
ing heavy stocks are predicting a gradu-
ally improving tendency of prices, while
those who are lightly supplied pretend to
see lower values this winter. The feeling
is unsettled, with very few contracts being
closed for next season’s import. There

THE BARBADOS MARKET.
Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Company,
under date of November 7th, say of the
Barbados market :
“There have been no arrivals of either
white pine or spruce during the fortnight
and stocks on hand have been consider-
ably reduced, leaving dealers’ yards com-
paratively bare, so that the market is ina
healthy condition. Some of the dealers
have, however, contracted for supplies to
arrive, of which we havea vessel on the
way with 300,000 feet of white pine, spruce
and hemlock. We learn ofa cargo of
Gaspe cedar shingles on the way by the
“Bravo,” principally Laying. Dimension
and Long are both saleable. In Cedar
Laying the market is depressed. We
closed out the balance of the cargo of the
“James W,” but had to accept a reduction
on previous rates. The market is amply
stocked for some time to come.”

LOG PRODUCTION ON THE
T. JOHN RIVER.
W. H. Murray, the well-known St.
interview
John
lumberman, in a_ recent ex-
pressed the opinion that the cut of logs on
tho upper St. John river and tributaries in
New Brunswick during the coming winter
would fall short of that of last season by
about ten million feet. The cut last year
totalled about 130,000,000 feet, and about
80,000,000 came through the booms, the
remainder having been
Grand Falls.
are curtailing their operations this season,
and
than 120,000,000 teet.
hung up above
Many of the large operators
the cutis not likely to exceed more
John Kilburn will
get out about 5,000,000 feet for Murray &
Gregory onthe Northwest branch; Cunliffe
gory
will cut about 12,000,000 for them on the
Allegash, and Choinard
Black River, making the firm's total about
20,000,000 feet. The Scott Lumber Com-
pany, of Fredericton, who are operating
upon the upper St. John this season for the
first time, will cut about 5,000,000 feet on
the Wild Cat stream, a tributary of the
St. Francis.
No effort will be made this season to get
out the 34,000,000 feet or so of logs
stranded in the main river above Grand
Falls. There was some talk a while ago
of booming them at Van Buren, but as the
Scheme was not approved of by all the
owners, it had to beabandoned. The logs
will remain just as they are, unless a big
rise of water comes trom the head of the
river. The logs have been out of the
water since early last summer, and are
very dry, therefore it will take less water
to float them than would be the case with
the green lumber. Should a big rise of
water occur in the near future they are
certain to run down the river and be
caught in the ice at some point where it
would be difficult to save them in the
spring, If there is no big rise of water
this fall, it is thought that there will be
little difficulty in saving the logs in the
spring, as the ice above the falls is usually
a week or so laterin starting than the ice
below that point. This gives a chance to
get the booms ready.
As already stated, there is about 34,000,-
000 feet of the past season’s cut stranded
above the falls. It is owned by the follow-
ing parties in the proportion named :

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO..
The volume of the lumber business of
the month of November was, all things
considered, better than could reasonably
have been expected. The buying power
was, perhaps, not as good as that of the
previous month, but still of a very satisfac-
tory character. The past week has shown
signs of a slackening up, and it is likely
that a smaller trade will be handled from
this time forward until after the turn of the
year. Little change either in demand or
prices need be expected in the near
future.
The deadlock between the Ottawa
Valley manufacturers and the British
exporters has been broken. The 1904
deal cut of the Hull Lumber Company has
been placed with Watson & Todd, while
half of the J. R. Booth cut has been taken
by Robert Cox & Company. In both
instances an advance of ten per cent. on
last season’s figures is reported to have
been obtained.
We do not think that prices of hemlock
are quite as firm as they were, but there is
no positive weakness to be observed.
Hardwoods are strong notwithstanding a
less urgent demand. Birch and elm are
among the best sellers.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Several shippers of spruce deals have
been endeavoring to close contracts for
next season's stock at prices correspond-
ing to those which ruled this year, but
it is understood that they have been
unsuccessful and that manufacturers are
asking an advance. Now that contract-
ing for the Ottawa Valley pine production
has commenced, it is expected to fa-
cilitate the closing of contracts for spruce
stocks. Manufacturers are asking an ad-
vance on the ground of increased cost of
production. In Nova Scotia the quantity
of spruce deals manufactured next year
will in all probability show a considerable
dscrease owing to forest fires, which
swept through lands that had been logged
before. The small logs remaining on
these lands will be cut, and very few of
them will be large enough to produce
deals for the British market. The mills
in Nova Scotia have marketed practically
allthe lumber cut this year. Enquiries
are being received for stock for shipment
to New York, where spruce is selling at
the highest average prices ever obtained,
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
The active building season in the North-
West is about over, and the demand for
lumber has fallen off considerably. There
is still.some call for finishing lumber, which
is likely to be in more or less demand all
winter. Prices are somewhat weaker on
account of the sharp competition ex-
perienced from American manufacturers.
There has been some buying for spring
delivery at current prices. The British
Columbia mills supplying the foreign trade
are busy, but the stock of unsold lumber
for local and eastern consumption is large
and the demand quiet. This applies also
to the shingle industry. Manufacturers
have received some encouragement from
the recent visit of two or three large
United States buyers of shingles. It is
said that they placed some orders with
Vancouver mills, being induced to do so
by the superior quality of the British
Columbia product.
UNITED STATES,

is seasonably quiet. Wholesale orders
are scarce, but there is a good movement
of small lots, and in Buffalo a large de-
mand for doors and house finish. Dealers
are not stocking up to any extent, but
‘ their policy of conservatism is causing
holders of lumber no anxiety, as they
believe there will be no break in prices.
Inventories of stocks on hand at wholesale
centres show much iess than at same time
last year. At Buffalo it is stated that
there is not box lumber enough in sight to
keep the box factories running through
the winter and early spring, and there is
very little of this class of lumber held at
the mills. Itis quite probable that box
lumber will advance before spring re-
gardless of the general trend of prices.
The manufacturers in Wisconsin and
Minnesota are restricting their log input,
so that they may be in a position to cope’
with any falling off in the demand for
lumber next year. Spruce prices are very
strong. Both frames and random are
selling in Boston at from fifty cents to
one dollar above the list for prompt de-
livery. The hardwood trade maintains a
healthy tone. Birch, elm and basswood
are receiving a large call and the advance
in price has been well maintained. Some
dealers have been compelled to refuse
orders for elm on account of being unable
to make delivery within the specified
time. White pine and white cedar
shingles are moving rather slowly, but
there is more inquiry for red cedars.
GREAT BRITAIN.
We can learn of no important change
in the British lumber market. Business is
rather lifeless and little improvement is
expected until the new year. The stocks
at the leading importing centres are not
excessive, but it must be remembered
that the consumption this fall and winter
has been smaller than last year and
promises to continue so tor a few months.
The auction sales have been about the
only guide to prices. These have develop-
ed no weakness; in fact, at the Man-
chester sale of the Lightbound, Rigby &
Company stock high prices were realized.
Third quality pine deals, 3x11 inch,
brought 412 1os per standard ; 3x9 inch
Alt 5s, and 3x7 inch £11. A small
quantity of 4x7 inch spruce realized £8
5s. A good line of 3-inch birch sold at
45 178 6d per standard, and some Que-
bec ash timber at 1s 1d per cubic foot.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
F. F. Neale, of Chatham, N. B., has
shipped over 60,000,000 feet of deals this
season.
Seaman, Kent & Company, of Meaford,
Ont., have just received a cargo of 250,-
000 feet of maple lumber from Bay City,
Mich.
A three and a half mile timber berth on
the North Forks Coal Branch, Kent Coun-
ty, New Brunswick, was sold by the
Government last week to C. C. Stiles at
$50 per mile.
The Join Harrison & Sons Company, of
Owen Sound, Ont.,have just shipped a car-
load of numbered mile posts over the Can-
adian Pacific Railway for use on that line.
There were 560 posts in the shipment.
The New Brunswick Government will
ofter for sale on December gth a timber
berth of two square miles on the Square
Lake, Parish of Botsford, Westmorland
County, for which James Friel has made
application.
The Hanburg Manufacturing Company,
of Brandon, Man., have 75 teams and 250
men at work on their limits in Duck Moun-
tains getting out logs. The season in that
district has opened earlier than last year
and there are prospects of a large input.
The Carney Lumber Company, which
recently closed a deal for the purchase of
200,000,000 feet of white pine on the
Spanish River, will establish their head-
quarters at Massey, Ont. They will put
in 10,000,000 feet of logs to be sawed
under contract next year.
The Canadian Timber & Saw Mill Com-
pany, of Trout Lake City, B. C., has just
let a contract for 100,000,000 feet of logs,
involving an expenditure of half a million
dollars, to E. L. Kinnon. English capital
is backing the enterprise, and the contract
is the largest let for some time. The com-
pany owns from four to six hundred mil-
lion feet of timber along Trout Lake.
The Harbor Commissioners ot Montreal
invite tenders in this issue for a supply of
timber and planks for 1904, including hem-
lock, white pine, red pine, elm, maple, and
spruce. There are 194,000 feet of spruce
planks and 175,000 ft. of pine planks called
for. The piles required consist of 500
pieces white pine, 300 pieces red pine and
100 pieces elm, averaging 47 feet long.
R.F. Dorfman, who represents the lum-
ber syndicate which has been buying up
small parcels of timber in the vicinity of
Nanaimo, B.C., states that the first boom
of 600,000 feet of logs will be ready early
this month. It is probable that another
camp will be started early in the spring
near Courtney, where the syndicate has
about 110,000,000 feet of timber. Some
of this goes 250,000 teet to the acre.
The Victoria Lumber & Manufacturing
Company, of Chemainus, B.C., have pur-
chased 4,000,000 feet of fir logs at Everett,
Wash., which are being towed from Puget
Sound to their mills. It is stated that the
logs were purchased under contract that
they should be delivered at the mills at
approximately $4.10 per thousand feet.
This is one of the largest purchases of logs
made outside of British Columbia in
several years. It is reported that the
company were forced to buy on account of
interruptions to their own logging opera-
tions by inclement weather.
Preparations are well advanced for log-
ging operations on the St. Croix river, in
New Brunswick. The cut will probably
reach 30,000,000 feet, about the same as
last year. James Murchie will cut about
7,000,000 feet, H. F. Eaton & Sons 1o,-

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
[Correspondence of the CanapDA LUMBERMAN.]
To-day another big sale of 1904 deals
was recor¢ed. Watson & Todd, the well-
known Liverpool firm, has closed with the
Hull Lumber Company for the entire cut
of red and white pine deals to be sawn
under contract next year. While the
actual figures are not obtainable, it is
understood the price shows an advance of
ten per cent. over last year's figures. The
transaction covers between fifteen and
twenty million feet.
November, always looked on as the
season for such sales, has only seen two
this year. For the past three weeks a
deadlock has existed between the English
buyers and the Ottawa district manufac-
turers of deals. The latter have been
holding out for an advance of twenty per
cent. on last season’s rates, offering, of
course, as ground for such advance the
stiff price of labor and supplies. The
Euglish buyers, however, according to one
of the number, could not pay the price
asked and expect to realize on the invest-
ment. In turn they pointed out that
British trade was dull and the market well
stocked. The question’ of supply and
demand, not cost of production, should,
they claimed, govern the case.
It is now believed, however, that the
deadlock has been broken, and that the
other sellers and buyers will get together
and agree on terms.
All the mills in the Ottawa district have -
practically closed. To the surprise of many
it is stated that the season’s cut as com-
pared with that of former years shows a
falling off of fully ten per cent. For
instance, the big Booth mill is said to be
between thirteen and fifteen million feet
behind its cut for the corresponding period
last year. As the supply of Jogs was a
constant one and the weather steady, the
blame for the shortage is laid on labor.
The Shepard & Morse Company, which
took over and fitted upthe Mason mill in
the west end of the city, hada good
season's business. It has been decided to
install another double cutting band saw
for next season’s work. The one installed
last year was the first of its kind seen in
the Ottawa district. Next season the
mill will be better equipped than ever with
two Such saws.

that the work of log cutting is well ad-
vanced. The present cold snap ought
to freeze up the streams and thus facili-
tate the movement of supplies, which has
been a difficult business for the past few
days. Labor is~* easier to obtain, the
close of work on the farms releasing
many competent axe handlers.
No square timber will be manufactured
in the Kippewa district this year, for the
reason that there is little or none left to
manufacture. The following firms that
manufactured last season will leave
square timber alone this year: Sheppard &
Morse, Hull Lumber Company and
Rideau Lumber Company. On the other
hand Edward Moore, Klock Bros. and
Robert Hurdman will continue in the
square timber line.
Reports differ as to market conditions,
but prices show no change. Dealers re-
port local business and trade with the
States slow, while the manufacturers
State they have no trouble placing any
standing stock they have on hand. With
the close of navigation shipments are
always slow from Ottawa, so that the
present slaokness is causing no uneasi-
ness.
It is expected the log cut in the Ottawa
river district will be nearer an average
than will be that of the Georgian Bay
district, where a shortage running all the
way from twenty to thirty per cent. is
predicted.
Ottawa manufacturers have not so much
to fear from the threatening hard times in
the States as have their tellows in the
Georgian Bay district, for the reason that
while the latter are almost wholly de-
pendent on the American market, the
Ottawa district mills cut largely for the
English trade as well.
With the predicted shortage of logs in
the Georgian Bay district, the chances of
overstocking the American market will
be greatly reduced and the prospects of a
continuance of high prices brightened.
Ottawa, November 25th, 1903.
BRITISH COLUMBIA LUMBERMEN
IN SESSION®
A meeting. of the Mountain Lumber
Manufacturers’ Association was held at
the Board of Trade rooms at Nelson, B.
C., on the 26th and 27th of October last.
There was present a strong delegation
from the British Columbia Lumber & Shin-
gle Manufacturers’ Association, and also
from the Western Retail Lumbermen’s As-
sociation. The meeting was a particular-
ly interesting one, and the attendance was
large, on account of the importance of the
matters to be brought up for discussion.
A committee to prepare statistics as to
the condition of the lumber trade and es-
timates as to the quantity of available lum-
ber and the probable output and consump-
tionnext year, was appointed, and at a
later session the committee reported that
there were eighty million feet of lumber
ready for shipment in the yards in British
Columbia ; that the demand was not strong,
as the yards in the North-West Territories
were pretty well stocked; that the proba-
ble output for next year would be seven
hundred million feet or at least one hun-
dred million feet above the estimated con-
sumption, even taking into consideration
the present very large increase in immi-
gration in the North- WwW est Territories.
The lumber manufacturing trade has cer-
tainly been booming ; a large number of
mills have been built and are under con-
struction, and if there was a shortage last
winter and spring, the reverse is now the
case, and the members of the Lumber As-
sociations were themselves surprised to
find that they were face to face with a con-
dition of things which will probably mean
a shutting down of the mills fora time to
prevent over-production.
During the period last winter in which
there was an apparent shortage (we say
‘“‘ apparent’ because it was largely attri-
butable to insufficient transportation
facilities at the time when the demand was
greatest), American lumber was introduced
to a very considerable extent into the
North-West, the excuse _ being that
Canadian lumber was not to be had, and
this market having been once opened up
to American mills, they are succeeding in
holding the market, to the exclusion of
Canadian lumber. A considerable ad-
vantage in freight rates over the Canadian
mills helps them to do this.
This and many other subjects were dealt
with by the members of both Associations
in a joint meeting, and strong resolutions
were prepared, both to the Canadian Paci-
fic Railway Company pointing out the in-
justice that the members suffer in certain
quarters on account of the comparatively
heavy freight rates, and to the Dominion
Government pointing out the necessity of
a duty to protect this very important
Canadian industry.
It was pointed out that on account of
the somewhat demoralized condition of
American trade at present, partly through
over-production, the Canadian North-West
was being used as a dumping ground for
the surplus stock of common lumber of the
American mills, and that such competition
under the circumstances was not fair and

should be prevented. The enormously in-
creased capacity of the B.C. mills isa
sufficient guarantee of a supply large
enough to ensure that there will be no in
crease in price.
Steps were taken witha view to ascertai-
ning if and in what way the uniform grad-
ing of lumber could satisfactorily be done.
This is a matter which has hitherto been
considered impracticable on account of
the very great differences in the timber
used by the different mills througout the
country. It was decided, except in 2-inch
dimension, to adopt Coast Standards of
boards and matched lumber. This rule
takes effect on January rst, 1904.
A satisfactory arrangement was arrived
at between the shingles members and the
branch of the B. C. Lumber and Shingle
Manufacturers at the coast.
The foregoing covers only a small part
of the work done inthe session, which
lasted two full days. The meeting was
productive ofa great deal of good, and
many questions of importance affecting
the interests of the members, as between
each other, were discussed and satisfac-
torily dealt with.
The Mountain Association, which is
now two years in existence, was felt to be
in a much healthier condition and the en-
thusiasm of the members very much great-
er than heretofore.
Regret was expressed that the commis-
sion which had been appointed by the
Dominion Government to investigate the
alleged combine had not had the oppor-
tunity of going into the question, as the
members felt satisfied that a thorough in-
vestigation would have resulted in show-
ing that these Associations were not in
any sense responsible for the alleged un-
satisfactory condition of things in the
- North-West.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The lumber business of the province
shows the effect of the approaching win-
ter. Retail dealers as a rule are buying
only in small lots, which policy is likely to
continue until after the first of the year.
The consumption in Toronto is of consider-
able volume and in the country districts
the demad is quite as good as could be
expected at this season. There does not
seem to be much call for bill stuff. In-an
otherwise featureless market, box lumber
continues to command special attention.
The supply is now so small that some
manufacturers are advancing their box and
common about $1 per thousand. In the
Georgian Bay district log run white pine
is held at $19, box at $15 and mill culls at
$ar. There are still plenty of buyers for
hardwood lumber whenever suitable stocks
can be found. It is almost impossible to
obtain certain sizes of elm, basswood and
maple. The manufacturers are showing
no disposition to reduce their "asking
figures, but on the other hand are asking
higher prices for desirable stocks. The
shingle market is in a healthier condition
and dealers who were carrying heavy
stocks of British Columbia cedar shingles
are gradually getting them worked cff.§
The weather has been favorable for
operations in the woods. In some districts
there are about 18 inches of snow, but
hauling will not be commenced until after
Christmas. It is reported that on account
of money stringency and the expense of
logging one or two concerns have taken
their camps out of the woods.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
There is very little activity in the lumber
business throughout the North-West, more
attention being given to logging con-
ditions than to the marketing of lumber.
In the districts from which the log supply

of timber. The lumbermen have decided
to protest against the proposal to raise the

to $160 per annum.
UNITED STATES.
The present is no doubt a very dull time
in the white pine trade. What business
there is from mill yards may be said to be
confined to box material and the lower
grades. There has been a considerable
call for lumber suitable for making corn
cribs. It is expected that this inactivity
will continue at least until well into Janu-
ary, by is believed that
dealers will find their stocks so diminished
which time it
as to necessitate replenishment to a limited
degree. There is a better feeling regard-
ing the business outlook than prevailed a
few weeks ago, and one or two factors
which are very favorable. to the lumber

held conferences with a view to learning
the real conditions, and it is believed that
asa result there will be no difficulty in
maintaining present prices for white pine.
From Duluth comes the statement that
practically all the No. 4 and 5 boards to

Coupled with the fact that the unsold
stocks at the head of the lakes are not

ging cperations must also be reckoned
with. The hardwood demand is limited
to the immediate needs of consumers, but
is still of a fair volume. Dry basswood is
especially scarce and is likely to be wiped
out before the new cut is ready. Elm
stocks are also very much reduced. A
slightly better demand for lath and shingles
is reported. At Buffalo No
lath is selling at $4 and No. 2 at $3.25.

probability the present brisk buying can
be accounted for by the news that next

INCREASED STUMPAGE DUES.
The New Brunswick | Government é
announced on December 4th its decision |
to charge on
timber cut within the province from the
increase the stumpage

measure to $1.25, and to make a charge
for renewal of leases of $8.00 a square

request to make the stumpage uniform all —
The lumber-
men asked for a reduced rate for lumber
over the province is granted.

replies that such cases will be dealt with
individually on their merits.
tate of $1.25 will be on spruce, pine, fir,
and cedar, and proportionate on other
fimber. It will apply to the cut of the
present season and the increased mileage
charge will be enforced on all future re-
newal licenses. The Government declines
to extend all present leases to twenty-
five years in consideration of raising the
stumpage dues.
MARKET FOR PIT PROPS.
Mr. P. D, Ball, of Birmingham, Eng-
land, nies to the Toronto Globe as fol-
Jows: I have_been guing through the
colliery districts in England and Wales,
and I find that the collieries have been
buying their pit props from Norway,
France, Spain and Portugal. 1 would ~
like you to give this want as much
publicity as possible, and ask the var-
ious people who are prepared to go
into this matter to write me direct. I
think that our spruce or small pine
should fill this want. Of course, they
would have to be tried to find out exactly
the strength. The quantity usedannually
in the different districts would be about
2,000,000 tons, and this ought to be well
worth looking into. The sizes would
range from 4 feet to 9 feet long and diam-_
eter at top from 434” to 9”.
We understand that the creditors of
James Harrison, lumber merchant, Bur-
lington, Ont., have now been settled with,
by a cash payment of 50 cents on the dol-
lar to all unsecured and payment in full to ©
secured claims, besides paying in addition.
all legal costs. He has opened up business
again at Burlington, where his we!l equip-
ped planing mill and yards should secure
a good trade.

thousand feet royalty and tw enty-five cents
an acre rental. Where, however, a mill
runs in connection therewith for six months
in the year, and cuts 1000-feet per day for
each and every gon acres, this is reduced
to fifteen cents rental per acre. For pur-
poses of logging, special timber hcenses
will not be granted for more than 640 acres
and for not more than five years at the
following rates: One year, $160; two
years,

$320; three years, $480; four
vision is also made for a rcyalty of fifty
cents a thousand board measurement and
twenty-five cents a cord for wood.
Another clause makes provision for a
tax on all timber cut in the province except
that upon which a royalty is paid. The
tax on grade one varies, according to
length and diameter up to 24 inches, from
$2 to $4.
$1.50 to $3 a thousand, and on grade 3
from $1 to $2.50.

objection to the proposal to raise the tee

Altogether the lum-

close. The Government timber sale last
week proved conclusively that healthy con-
ditions prevail in the lumber industry, and
that the hewers of the forest do not antici-
pate a disastrous reaction inthe industrial
.prosperity of this corntry. For a month
or six weeks lumber is expected to move
slowly, but as light stocks are carried by
retail dealers and consumers, buying for
the spring trade will probably commence
early. Although yet tco early to estimate
the volume of building which will be done
next year, it may be said that in Toronto
present indications point to a very active
season.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Most of the mills in the Province of Que-
bec are now closed down and inventories
of stocks of lumberin the yards show a re-
duction as compared with last year. Some
contracting for British deals has been done
and the prices obtained were in some cases
higher than for similar stock one year
ago. There continues to be a good de-
mand for spruce lumber for shipment to the
Eastern States. Clapboards are sightly
higher, extras being held at $44 and clears
at $42, Boston delivery.” There’is no parti-

Abstract of Stock, Consumption, etc.,
shows that at the end of November the
stock of deals and battens in the public
docks at London, England, was 8,898,970
pieces, as compared with 9,339,754 pieces
one year ago. The duration of supply at
the present rate of consumption is given as
6.53 months, as against 5.96 months a year
ago. It will thus be seen that although
there is a lighter stock the supply will be
sufficient for a longer period, this being
due to lessened consumption. In 1902 the
monthly consumption was 1,276;959
pieces, while this year it is placed at
1,074,092 pieces. Deliveries from the
public yards have fallen oft considerably of
late and some reports state that the price

GREATEST TIMBER SALE ON
RECORD.
The sale of timber limits held by. the
Ontario Government on December gth
was the most successful on recofd. The
receipts were far in excess of any previous
sale and much greater than wéfe expect-
ed. The attendance of lumbermen was
also the largest ever known and the
bidding was quite spirited. Altogether
8264 square miles were disposed of, the
receipts being $3,687,337.50, or an
average price of $4,461.38 per square
mile. This compares with the highest
previous average of $3,657.18 reached at
the sale of 1892. The record for the
highest price per mile was also made,
when Mr. T. Mackie, M.P., paid at the rate
of $31,500 per milé for 31% square miles

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The Jumber business could not be other-
wise than quiet at this holiday season.
Salesmen are off the road and no person
is putting forth much effort to book orders.
Inventories will receive the greatest share
of attention during the next two weeks.
From the conflicting reports which are
heard regarding prices it is difficult to
make a logical deduction. In some quar-
ters it is claimed thac certain grades of
pine are being offered at a reduction, while
manufacturers contend that the market is
as firm as ever. If any concessions are
being made they are probably confined to
isolated cases where the supply of a certain
grade is comparatively heavy and the
holder is anxious to even up his stock
before the severe winter weather sets in.
The lower and upper qualities of pine
continue to be in the greater favor, the
intermediate grades being quite inactive.
Hemlock is somewhat neglected on ac-
count of the partial cessation of building
operations, but some enquiries concerning
u.
td
_ =? ,
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
stocks for spring delivery are reported.
There is no question as to the firmness of
hardwoods. The knowledge of a light
input of logs this winter has encouraged
manufacturers to adhere closely to the
prices which they have been asking, and
unless the buyer is prepared to pay them
a sale seldom results.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,
The spruce situation is as strong as at
last writing, although the demand is quiet-
er. Frames for prompt delivery are sell-
ing above the list price, and as yards are
carrying small stocks, it is probable that
the dull season will be passed without any
fall in prices. New York reports a scar-
city of spruce and local mill men are re-
ceiving many inquiries for stock for ship-
ment to that market. Contracting for the
British market has not yet commenced to
any extent, as shippers are not disposed
to pay the higher prices asked in many
instances. The season has been favorable
for logging operations and good progress
has been made, especially on the north
shore of New Brunswick.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The Board of Trade returns show that
during the first eleven months of this year
the import of sawn lumber into the United
Kingdom was about 4,000,000 feet less
than the corresponding period in 1902.
This is a very slight decrease, and in view
of the curtailed consumption the stock
will likely be found to be more than ample
to supply the winter and early spring
demand. House building is quiet even
for this season of the year. Representa-
tives of Quebec shippers have, it is under-
stood, closed a few small contracts, but
business is by no means active. The in-
creased price paid for the Ottawa deal
production is the subject of general com-
ment and the opinion seems to be that the
better grades of pine deals in the hands of
dealers must be advanced to a correspond-
‘ing extent. On this subject the Liver-
pool correspondent of the Timber Trades
Jcurnal says :
and it finds us with
“‘The pine season is over,
light stocks, upon
which we must congratulate the happy
holders.
have not yet realized what we have al-
Buyers up the country who
ready pointed out ih these columns will
find themselves ieft. They have not re-
alized the fact that the Canadian pine pro-
duction does not depend upon this country
alone, as many of them seem to believe.
They have never realized the enormous
wants, not of the Dominion alone, which
are ever growing, but the demand from
the United States, who are huge buyers of
pine deals, etc. The prices of the present
day may appear unduly high to the old-
fashioned buyer, but he has not awakened
to the changed condition, and the sooner
be for
he is aroused the better it will
him.

The Wisconsin
Valley Lumbermen’s Association met on
December 1oth and decided to reaffirm
the white pine list of September 14 except
in so far as it affects lath. There was a
strong sentiment in favor of advancing
certain items on the list and it was shown
that stocks in the hands of manufacturers

has been such a demand for box lumber
that the sawing of dimension has been
neglected and consequently the supply is
very light. A Chicago house is reported
to have lately sold several lots of box
lumber at prices 15 ta 20 cents a thousand
higher than those which had previously
prevailed. The supply of norway pine is
also limited, but the demand of late has
fallen off. At Tonawanda and Buffalo
shaky clear is said to be short and quoted
from $35.00 to $50.00, according to
quality and width. Hardwood prices are
being well maintained. Basswood is more
plentiful and the Chicago price ranges
from $33.00 to $34.00 for first and second,
$23.00 to $24.00 for common, and $15.00
to $15.50 for culls. Log run inch soft elm
brings $21.00 to $22.00 and common and

manufacturers by a vote
decided to list lath as follows: No. 1
white pine, $3.00; No. 1 mixed, $2.50;
No. 2, $2.00. No. 1 is relatively firmer
than the other grades and a few orders
are reported at $3.10 on a Chicago basis.

THE NEW BRITISH COLUMBIA LAWS,
The radical changes in the British Col-
umbia timber laws are still the topic of
much discussion.
with favor in some quarters, while in
others it is characterized as unfair. A
deputation of men interested in logging
limits claim that the act does not suit
them. They called upun the government
with a view of having the license fee re-
duced, but this opinion is said to be held
only by those who are not operating, but
who desire to speculate in the limits. “The
actis aimed at the American mill men
pure and simple. The government offi-
cial who formulated the act for the govern-
ment stated to the press that his object
was to make the American pay for the
privilege of cutting logs in Canada and
taking them out of the country. A depu-
tation from the Shingle and Lumber Man-
ufacturers’ Association called on the Gov-
ernment and after going over the act with
the members of the cabinet, it is said, ex-
pressed themselves as satisfied with the
objects of the bill, which was to prevent
speculation and compel those who leased
or secured timber under license to
operate. —

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
[Correspondence of the Canapa LUMBERMAN,]
The recent big sale of Ontario Govern-
ment limits was naturally enough discussed
at length in Ottawa district timber circles.
Opinions on the results differ. One well in-
foriced operator said the buyers shou!d be
The
high water mark, in his Opinion, was plac-
able to realize all they had invested.
ed on lumber values by the prices paid at
the sale, a fact which should have a ten-
dency to maintain the prices asked for the
manufactured article.
berman who was in the city last week in-
formed the local man that the supply of
A Michigan lum-
white pine in Wisconsin and Michigan is
for all practical purposes exhausted. The
moral drawn from this is that Ottawa dis-
trict prices should continue high, for the
reason that the manufactured stuff will no
longer have to bear the competition of the
product of the Western States in the Eng-
lish, American and South American mark-
ets. Despite the higher freight rates, the
stuff from the Western States was wont to
cut a big swath when brought into compe-
tition with the Ottawa district article in
the markets mentioned.
Reverting to the prices going at the
Toronto sale, however, it may be stated
that some of the local operators are of the
opinion that the figures paid were not justi-
hed by the quantity and quality of the tim-
ber purchased. ‘‘Of course it's nothing
out of my pocket,” said one local lumber
baron, ‘‘but [ really helieve some of the
purchasers were carried away by the ex-
citement of the moment and would not pay
the same money if they had another
chance. A lot of us who knew the country
thoroughly just sat and looked on.”
Reports received in Ottawa from the
limits goto show that the work of log-
making is progressing fairly well, but the
cut willnot be as large as in former years.
The work of log hauling is_ behind, how-
ever, for the redson that it has been im-
possible to get the teamsin, many of the
larger lakes not having frozen over. Dec-
ember's exceptionally cold weather is wor-
rying the lumbermen considerably, as they
believe it presages an early break-up in the
spring, thus shortening the time for hauling.
The MacLaren Company's shingle mill
at Buckingham, which closed down a
couple of monihs ago, has started up
again and will probably run all winter.
- There is an active demand for shingles.
Careful inquiry seems to establish the
fact that all the deals at the Ottawa dis-
trict mills have not yet been sold. It is
likely, however, that they will all be dis-
posed of at the ten per cent. advance at
which the earlier sales were made.
The movement of manufactured lumber
from Ottawa is slack at present and prices
show no change. With the new year, how-
ever, business is expected to pick up.

While business during the month has
not shown special activity, still there have
been quite a number of important lines of
goods disposed of at prices which on the
whole may be said to be well maintained.
If there is weakness anywhere it is per-
haps more evident in first quality pine
deals and sidings, recent transactions in-.
dicating some’such tendency, and it has
come as a surprise to the trade, the news
that 10 per cent. over last year's prices
has already been paid for next season's
delivery. Nowadays, Canadian pine has
more opposition to face in the shape of
kauri, Californian redwood, poplar, &c.,
and whether prices can be forced up much
higher than they are at present isa moot
point; certainly another advance will still
further restrict the consumption in this

AsH—The import continues on a_ small
scale, and it is well that this is so, as the
demand is of the most languid description
imaginable. There are
which have been there for not less than
logs in store

loss to the importer when finally disposed
of. In American round ash, the stock is
large and more than sufficient for the
small demand existing.
Deats, &c.—A dull feeling has char-
acterized business during the month, and
the deliveries from the public yards have
fallen off considerably. Prices of pine
deals, though nominally unaltered, have
a downward tendency, and sidings, owing
to the heavy imports, are easier. Current

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The close of the year finds Ontario lum-
ber ina strong position. Notwithstanding
the activity in manufacturing, millmen
have been able to dispose of a very large
percentage of their cut and are carrying
light stocks in their yards. Box lumber,
mill culls and dead culls in pine have
passed out of manufacturers’ hands almost
entirely, and it would be difficult to finda
large block ot any of these grades. The
~"upply of dressing and better, which has
sold more s!owly during the fall months, is
somewhat larger but not above an average
stock. An Ottawa valley manufacturer
reports that he has sold all his lumber and
anticipates higher prices during the com-
ing year. Conditions in the hardwood
trade are equally favorable.
the season it was feared that there might
be a large stock of hardwood logs taken
out, but later reports show that a conser-
vative policy is being tursued. We look
for hardwood prices to continue firm and
perhaps advance during the coming spring
unless unusually favorable weather should
encourage increased logging operations.
The present demand is confined largely
to the lower grades of pine lumber and to
such hardwoods as are required by imple-
ment, furniture,§and other consuming fac-
tories. There is very little doing in shingles
and lath,.and prices, if anything, are in-
clined to be a little easier.
Earlier in
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Prices of spruce lumber keep firm, not
because of the demand, which is only
moderate, but owing to the light supply.
It is said that some manufacturers are
(CANADA JUMBERMAN
Se Ae
ue
curtailing their operations in the woods
this winter owing to the expense of logging,
and it is predicted that the quantity of logs
for next season's sawing will fall short of
that of the past season. The weather so
far has been favorable for logging, and,
especially in New Brunswick, good pro-
gress has been made. Forecasts of
wintering stocks of spruce deals indicate a
reduction as compared with one year ago.
There is very little life to the shingle
market, extra cedars still ranging from
$3.35 to $3.45 on Boston rate of freight.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
From the standpoint of the manufacturer
the lumber business of Manitoba and the
Territories is not in a very Satisfactory
condition. Large quantities of low grade
stock continue to be shipped in from the
mills across the border and sold at cut-
rate prices. As the present consumption
is not large, this leaves but a small trade
for the Canadian mill men. With the turn
of the year more activity is expected and
prices are likely to become steadier.
Winnipeg is looking forward to another
good building season next year. In
British Columbia the local and export
demand is keeping up remarkably well,
but eastern shipments are dull. The new
timber regulations are commanding a
great deal of attention and some modifica-
tion seems likely.
UNITED STATES.
The lumber trade of the past week has
corresponded very closely with what was
expected. There has been some buying
of small luts, but in no respect has the
demand been active. Winter building in
the Eastern States is calling for consider-
able stock, and it is stated that a very
light supply is being carried by retail
dealers. Attention is now centred upon
the balancing up of the year’s business
and upon the volume of lumber carried by
manufacturers and dealers. There is a
comparatively heavy stock of shop lumber
in the Lake Superior district, but manvu-
facturers are disposed to hold until the
prices asked can be realized. No. 1 shop
is held at the mills at $40, No. 2 at
$31, and No. 3 at $18. The scarcity
of box lumber is general, no district re-
porting a large supply. In the Upper
Wisconsin and Minneapolis districts the
amount of piece stuff on hand is considered
short of the probable spring demand.
Norway pine is in light stock and held at
firm prices. The general feeling in pine
circles is that a steady volume of business
at good prices will characterize the com-
ing year.
grade boards is expected, in anticipation
of which a number of orders have already
been placed. Birch,
wood lead among the hardwoods. Thick
maple is wanted at Buffalo. Insome
markets ash is also scarce. The cal! for

quiet, but the market is firm and the out-
look for the coming year considered
bri, ht.
GREAT BRITAIN.
In the British market orders for lumber
have dropped to the lowest point of the
year. This is due chiefly to the advent of
the holidays, and until after the turn of the
year business will continue very quiet.
Some buying of Canadian pine and spruce
is reported, as dealers and consumers are
beginning to realize that prices of lumber
in stock are low when compared with the
prices asked by shippers for next season’s
supply. Prospects for next year are bright-
er than they were three months ago.
While stocks generally are of an average
volume, there is a scarcity of the better
grades. A cargo of spruce from Dalhousie,
N.B., recently reached Liverpool and was
immediately purchased by James Halsall
& Son. The price realized has not tran-
spired. The supply of pine deals is con-
centrated in the hands of a few firms, who
are said to have already made their en-
gagements for next season at high prices.
This would seem to guarantee the maia-
tenance of present values for some time to
come.
White Sea shippers are said to be asking
£11 for third quality Archangel redwood
deals. Agents have endeavored to close
contracts on this basis, but it is reported
that few transactions have taken place.
Considerable sales to France and Belgium
are announced.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
Fully 6,000 men are at work this season
in the woods in the Rainy River district.
James Hoey is getting out about 800,-
000 feet of logs at Prince of Wales, in St.
John county, N, B.
Rhodes, Curry & Company, of Amherst,
N. S., intend to take out 5,000,000 feet of
lumber on their Sheet Harbor property.
The Albion Lumber Company, of Moser
River, N, S., expect to take out in the
vicinity of 4,000,000 feet of logs this
winter.
The United Lumber Company, Halifax,
N.S., are taking out about 8,000,000 feet
of logs for their Jordan River mills. About
10,000,000 feet will be cut on the St.
Mary's property, lately purchased by
Alfred Dickie, Lower Stewiacke, N. S.
The John Arbuthnot Company, of Win-
nipeg, has concluded negotiations for the
purchase of the balance of last season’s
cut of lumber now in A. R. McLennan’s
yard at Wabigoon, Ont., and the whole of
next years cut of the same firm. The
present stock is about 1,250,000 feet, and
the 1904 cut will be 4,000,000 feet. Two
million feet of logs are already in the
water, left over from last season, and two
camps are in operation on Long Lake.
There is not as much lumber in stock at
’
Buffalo to begin winter with as there was
a year ago, but the trade all round is get-
ting used to shortages, and there is much
less difficulty from that direction than there
used to be. Common grades of white
pine are scarcer thanthey should be, on
account of the great run made by the box
factories. The middle grades are some-
what uncertain in price but the holder of
them is gaining confidence and will no
longer sell them at buyers’ prices, as some
have done during the fall. High-grade
pine is quiet, but firm.
Eastern shingles are about steady at
Boston on a basis of $3.35 to $3.45 for
extras. The stock of shingles offering is
very light at all points, but the feeling is
so strong that the market in the spring
will open at a higher leyel that the leading
handlers are not inclined to accept any
business for February or March delivery
at a lower basis than $3.50. Most of the
small mills have cleaned up their entire
holdings, and will have nothing to offer
from now on except winter sawed stock.
During the season of navigation to De-
cember 1, there was entered at the custom
house at Bay City, Mich., 104,354,596 feet
of lumber, and at Saginaw 29,463,183 feet,
making a total of 133,817,779 feet, and the
4,000,000 which came in since the first of
the month makes the receipts about 138,-
000,000 feet, compared with 160,000,000
feet last year. There was shipped out
during the season by lake only about
3,000,000 feet, compared with 858,000,000
feet during the season of navigation of
1882, showing the wonderful transforma-
tion in the lumber business of the Saginaw
Valley in a score of years.
Under date of December 5th Messrs. S.
P. Musson, Son & Company say of the
Barbados market : ‘‘The only arrival has
been the steamer ‘‘Viking,” from Tusket
Wedge, N.S., with about 40,000 feet of
white pine and 156,000 feet of second
quality spruce. Nothing has yet been
done with the former, but the latter had
been contracted for at $20. Most of it,
however, consists of 3 and 4 inch boards,
which have been rejected and re-sold at
$15, any usual second quality being taken-
at the original price. We have 125,000
feet of white pine coming, and with the
200,000 feet second quality which is also
expected, the wants of dealers are fairly
provided for, and we rather expect thar
next arrivals will meet lower prices. No
arrival of shingles has taken place since
last report. Stocks of Laying Cedar are
ample, but Long and Dimension Gaspe
are saleable.”

THE HARDWOOD SITUATION.
Some of the wholesale and retail yard
men in Chicago say that they are having
a brisk inquiry for stock, largely in small
lots, as the average consumer does not
care to purchase more than sufficient to
keep him running from day to day. Large
consumers are not buying much, except-
ing some of those outside of the city who
are contracting quite a quantity of stock
for delivery in January and February. As
a rule, however, buying on any large
scale has been postponed until after the
first of the year and the wholesale trade
is not handling more than can be com-

fortably supplied from the moderate
stocks at hand.
One of the most encouraging features of
the situation, says the American Lumber-
man, is that inquiries are increasing in
number for delivery early next year.
Several firms in this market have recently
remarked on this feature of the Situation,
which they say promises a contiuously
active market after the middle of January.
One dealer states that his inquiry for
deliveries early in the coming year are
about as plentiful as he ever had.
Prices have not shown much of a ten-
dency to sag despite the falling oft in
demand. Quarter sawed white oak has
shown a slight weakness and yet few
holders are sacrificing it, as they realize
that this is not the season of the year for
consumption and are content to hold
until the demand naturally rises, which
will no doubt take place shortly after the
first of the year. Quarter sawed red oak
is holding firm. Plain white oak and red
oak are both steady and inquiries tor
future delivery on the increase.
Basswood displays some weakness, but
this is no doubt merely owing to the tem-
porary lack of demand.
ers of basswood have had their attention
largely called to other woods of late and
this has caused an apparent plentiful
supply of basswood, which really is not
the case, as there is scarcely any variety
of lumber that is in less supply. Rock elm
has lately come to the front and the de-
unabated, with light
White ash con-
tinues a much wanted article in all mar-
kets and both mills and assembling points
are said to be out of stock.

The planing mill of D. Atchison & Com-
pany, at Hamilton, Ont., was almost
totally destroyed by fire last week. The
loss is about $20,000, largely covered by
insurance.
The dry kiln of the Canada Cabinet
Company at Gananoque, Ont., was de-
stroyed by fire on December 26th, ata
loss of $8,000. Considerable lumber was
also burned.
The Dyment, Butterfield Company, of
Barrie, Ont., advise us that the statement
in last issue that they had purchased and
intended operating a small timber limit
near Powassau is not true, as no such
purchase has taken place.

THE DULUTH LUMBER COT.
This year the mills in the Duluth dis-
trict of Minnesota have cut 885,000,000
feet of pine lumber. Thisis as grea. an
amount as was ever cut in the district. Of
the cut of this year about 500,000,000 feet
was shipped to the east by water via Du-
luth. The rest was distributed by rail to
Chicago, the west and the south. Prac-
tically the entire cut of mills in the city of
Duluth goes east by water, and with it
about 100,000,000 feet cut by interior mills.
The value of the white pine cut of the dis-
trict this year is about $17,500,000.
The probabilities are that the cut of the
coming year will decrease about twenty-
five per cent. Mills go into the winter
with small stocks on hand, and with ‘less
unsold lumber than they have had in years,
On docks in Duluth there are only 11o,-
000,000 feet of all classes of lumber and
of this more than half is sold. Interior
mills of the district have, perhaps, 250,-

000,000 feet on sticks in their yards, a
great share of which will go forward dur-
ing the winter.

OUR ANNUAL REVIEW.
The publishers of this journal have sent
out a large number of circulars to lumber
manufacturers throughout the Dominion
soliciting certain information regarding
the lumber trade of 1903. This informa-
tion is desired for the purpose of assisting
us in compiling our annual review, and it
is not the intention to associate the name
of the manufacturer with the information
given, but rather to use it as a basis for a
general article, as in former years. Some
manufacturers have not as yet returned
the circular sent them, and as it is neces-
sary that we should have their assistance
in order to arrive at a thorough under-
standing of the conditions which prevailed
in all localities, we respectfully request:all
who have not done so to send in the
desired information promptly.
CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The advent of the new year brought no
increased activity to the lumber trade.
The movement of stock during the past
week has been very light and confined to
urgent orders.
quiries concerning the prices asked by
manufacturers for next season's cut, and
some contracts are likely to be closed
very shortly. The more conservative
persons are disposed to wait until they
are better able to judge of the prospects
for spring business,but others seem to be
of the opinion that a fair season will be
experienced and that lumber bought at
present prices is good The
universal report from manufacturers is
that lumber stocks are not heavy. The
logging season opened favorably, but the
deep snow which now prevails in the
northern woods is interfering with oper-
ations and is likely to result in curtailing
the output. It is probable that the cut of
hemlock in particular will be short this
winter owing to the great depth of snow
and the difficulty that was experienced in
the early fall in getting men at a reason-
able wage.
Buyers are making in-
value.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The statement of wintering stocks at
Quebec shows the strong position of
spruce deals. The total quantity carried
over this winter is approximately 4,300,-
000 feet, as compared with 8,000,000 feet
one year ago. The export from the St.
Lawrence slightly exceeded last year’s
shipments. The stock of pine deals is
practically nil, but this is due in part to
the fact that Quebec is now an unimpor-
tant shipping point for pine lumber. The
wintering stock of square pine is 413,469
cubic feet, as compared with 395,962 cubic
feet one year ago. The corresponding
figures for waney are 406,038 and 261,393
cubic feet. The explanation of this in-
crease is that the stocks carried over one
year ago were exceptionally light. With
the exception of last season, the stock
wintering this year is under that of any
previous year. Prices asked for rafts now
making show a considerable advance over
earlier figures. Red pine, elm, ash and
birch are in lighter stock than one year
ago, while the wintering stock of oak
shows a decided increase,the figures being
491,851 and 192,161 cubic feet. It is evi-
dent, therefore, that the advanced prices
have stimulated production. A reduction
inthe quantity manufactured this winter
seems probable. In New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia prices of sprucelumber are re-
ported to be a little easier. There has been
a drop in the price of sprucelogs from $13,
the high point reached. a few months ago,
to $11, the current quotation. Itis be-
lieved, however, that values will gradually
increase, which is much to be desired, as
about 30,000,000 feet of last season’s cut
of logs, which were bought at high prices,
are hung up above Grand Falls, on the
St. John river.
UNITED STATES,
The close of the year finds the Jumber
trade of the United States in a satisfactory
condition. Lumbermen are much en-
couraged by the” fact that although to-
wards the end of the year the demand fell
off considerably, the stock of unsold
lumber’ ight, perhaps belowthe average.
In the Saginaw Valley stocks of white pine
are about 15 per cent. less than one year
ago. A few contracts have been made
with manufacturers for stock for next
WENA LUN DEPUVALN
season's delivery and some large
transactions are said to be pending. The
price list committee of the Mississippi
Valley Lumbermen's Association will meet
when it is probable that an
advance will be made in the price of
dimension.
this week,
The lists of the new white pine associa-
tion formed at Buffalo show only 13 per
cent. of box lumber. This is a very low
stock and before the new cut is ready it
will be necessary to substitute other kinds
of lumber for boxes to a very large extent.
This will have a strengthening effect upon
the general market. Mill culls and scoots
are also in very light supply in Buffalo.
A dealer recently sold a quantity of scoots
at $12.00. The most liberal supply is of
No. 2 and No. 3 barn. There is a better
demand for No. 3 cuts, and norway is
moving with some freedom. The con-
sumption of hardwood lumber has been
checked by the holiday period and less
complaint is made of the scarcity than was
the case one month ago. ‘here is more
birch in sight than there was a year ago,
notwithstanding that the demand has been
quite strong. Hemlock is quiet, but there
is no disposition to cut prices. The trade
is of the opinion that the production this
winter will be light.
instance,
In Pennsylvania, for
the production this year is
estimated at 500,000,000 feet, as com-
pared with 800,000,000 feet in 1903.
GREAT BRITAIN.
Advices from Great Britain’ reflect the
uncertainty which prevails in business
circles. The different views expressed
regarding a fiscal policy are not condu-
cive to confidence, and the best that is
hoped for is that trade conditions may
become no worse. Agents of lumber ex-
porters are making their usual rounds and
are suceeding in placing some stock, but
it is small in quantity as compared with
one year ago. There is some satisfaction
in knowing that pine and spruce deals are
looked upon as likely to continue firm in
price on account of the prospective light
export from this country. A moderate
quantity of waney pine timber is going
into consamption, but the demand for
square pine is light. Dealers anticipate a
fair demand for ash, birch and elm, as the
quantity carried by dealers is not large.

cut 8,000,000 feet the coming year.
Messrs. J. H. Moore and C. P. Roe,
who were in Toronto recently on their
return from the lumber camps of the
Georgian Bay district and Algoma, say
that the shortage in the output is very
marked in some instances. The cut of
the Georgian Bay Lumber Company alone
will be reduced from 80,000,000 feet, the
output of last season, to 60,000,000 feet.
Notice is given in the British Columbia
Gazette that tenders will be received by
the Lands and Works Department,
Victoria, up to noon, Wednesday, January
20th, from any person desirous of obtain-
ing a lease under section 42 of the Land
Act of a timber limit situated on Van-
couver Island, known as lots 119, 120, 121,
122, 123, 124 and 125, Rupert district, con-
taining in the aggregate 21,956 acres.
Messrs. Claremonte, Man & Company
in their last report say regarding the Bar-
bados market:‘‘There have been four arri-
vals of white pine and spruce during the
fortnight. The last sale of white pine for
acargo on the spot was at $25.75 per
thousand for merchantable and $20.75 for
second quality; spruce, $22 for merchant-
able and $18 for second quality. Last
sales of Gaspe long cedar shingles were
at $5.57; Cedar Laying, $2.05 to $2.07%.”
E. T. Carrington, of Bay City, and Mr.
Arnold, of Albany, have purchased the
interest of their partners in the Spanish
River Lumber Company, comprising some
stock in the Spanish River Boom Com-
pany, some 50,000,000 feet of pine, and
a large quantity of hardwood and cedar in
the Spanish River country. The firm
stocks a saw mill formerly owned by the
company, but which was sold to Bay City
parties two years ago.

BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
Vancouver, B. C., Dec. 24—This is a
very dull time of the year in the lumber
trade. The British Columbia Gagette
shows but a half dozen applications for
licenses to cut timber,and the loggers who
have returned from the coast are spending
their Christmas holidays in town.
Now that the full text of the new timber
regulations have been thoroughly under
stood, thereis a general dissatisfaction on
both sides. Those who expressed satis-
faction a week ago have been entirely
converted, and nine out of every ten tim-
bermen believe that the government has
made a mistake in trying to please the few
rather than the many. They have increas:
ed the revenue of small holders who could
not afford it, and allowed the monied men
who hold timber under no restrictions, hav-
ing acquired it in the early days, to come ~
into untair competition with those who
have to finance their deal from first to last
with the banks.
The news from up country is to the effect
that there is great activity in the lumber
business. These sections are near the
ever-growing Northwest Canada.
Theodcre Ludgate, a well known mill
man, has completed a magnificent mill, as
large as any mill on the cost, near
Chamainus on Vancouver Island. In that
vicinity alone there is an army of 1,000
men at work logging. This applies to
different sections in the Kootenay, so that
in spite of the statement that there is no
money in the logging business, there
seems to be no let up to the establishment
of new mills throughout the province.

SAVANNE MILLS SOLD.
The entire holdings of the Savanne
Lumber Company at Savanne, North-
western Ontario, including mills, bush
outfit and limits, were sold by public
auction at Savanne a few days ago, and
the property knocked down to Patrick
Hogan, the sum paid being $14,000. The
mills are situated on the C.P.R., about
two miles west of Savanne Station, where
they have been operated for seven or
cight years. This site is to be abandoned
and the mill removed to a point near
Kashebowie, on the Canadian Northern
Railway, in which neighborhood the com-
pany’s limits are located. Mr. Hogan was
resident manager for the company.

THE LUMBER SITUATION.
Mr. Jesse D. Crary contributes to the
New York Lumber Trade Journal a very
able review of the lumber situation, from
which we extract the following :
Another important item in the lumber
world is spruce timber. It is higher to-
day than ever before, and we look for no
lower prices. The stock is in the hands
of a very few operators. A dozen firms
perhaps own three-quarters of ali ibe
standing spruce in Maine, an equal num-
ber control the bulk of the timber in New
Brunswick, while the spruce timber of
West Virginia is in the hands of a few
Operators, and these owners are able to
The de-
mand for spruce for ,ulp makes them
maintain a conservative policy.
absolutely independent, and the financial
standing of those concerned makes a con-
servative policy possible and probable.
For instance, we know ot one firm in
Maine that owns 250,000 acres that could
easily cut 25,000,000 feet a year, that will
be satisfied to cut 10,000,000 feet. Ian-
ticipate no material decline in the price of
spruce timber during the year 1904.
Several weeks ago there was manifested
a slight weakness inthe upper grades of
white pine, but that weakness to-day has
disappeared and there is no evidence of
any other weakness. The price of the
season'scut of deal has been materially ad-
vanced, but even at the advanced price it
probably nets the operator no more than it
did before, and perhaps even less, because
of the increased expense of operating.
There is no reason to anticipate any lower
prices in white pine.
Halfa dozen operators control practi-
cally all the hemlock that comes to the
New York market, and from all the infor-
mation I can gain the present price is
- being maintained, with no prospect of a
break. The present basis of $17 will not
be lower this season, in the opinion of
those most interested. In fact, holders of
hemlock state with confidence that they
have the situation fully in hand.
There is not a weak spot in the hard-
wood situation, and no reason to believe
that present prices will not be maintained.
In fact, in some respects advances would
not be at all improbable. There is abso-
lutely no surplus stock of anything in
hardwoods. In some lines there is an
actual shortage. There will probably be
some scattering lots of hardwoods which
will be offered at prices which might be
called ‘* off,” but not so with the bulk of
the stock. The probabilities are that
poplar will range from $59 a thousand
feet. Quartered oak will probably ad-
vance, as there is a great scarcity of this
particular wood. , Plain oak will hold its
own. Ash will probably hold its own. In
fact, it may be safely said asa general

proposition that the hardwood market is

THE NEW BRUNSWICK LOG PRO-
DUCTION.
The cut of logs on the Miramichi in the
province of New Brunswick this season is
estimated at 100,000,000 feet, but the win-
ter so far has been favorable and this es-

cut on the same river was 125,000,000 feet.
timate may be exceeded.
The cause cf the reduction in this winter's
cut is, first, the sluggishness of the British
market ; second, the present high rate of
wages ; third, the difficulty of securing
woodsmen ; fourth, the advanced cust of
provisions and other camp requisites ;
fifth, the long distance to haul logs, which
is annually and sixth, the
smaller sized logs wh'ch operators are

cut over once and that the present growth
is younger trees, and correspondingly
smaller,
The stock wintering on the Miramichi
in logs is about 5,000,000 feet more than
last year, and the sawn stock 10,000,000
feet greater, and even at the reduced
winter cut, next season's shipments will
probaby be as large as this season's.
The increased cost of logs last year,
even with so much lower wages and ex-
penses than prevailsthis year,made holders
of saw and pulp logs very conservative as
regards selling prices. If this continues
aext season, the price of lumber will be
maintained, and many manufacturers are
looking for an advance,
THE DEMAND FOR BOX LUMBER.
There never was a time in the history of
the lumber and box trade when the box
business was in more satisfactory condition
than it is at the present time, so far as de-

This condition of the box business ought

When the box business is good

the country in general be in a condition of

HEMLOCK.
The prospects are for higher prices in
the hemlock market, and it is generally
believed that with the opening of trade in
the spring an actual conservative advance
will be made. As the new year approaches
» healthy
it is possible to detect a gradual feeling
From the trend of the
commercial and financial reports favor-
able developments in general trade are at
hand. The feeling of uncertainty has
reached its height, says the Mississippi
Valley Lumberman, and confidence in a
condition throughout
the country is prevalent. A large con-
sumption of lumber is looked for and in
the middle west the building movement
is expected to be quite extensive. Deal-
ers in hemlock have bought sparingly of
stock for more than six months ; have
substituted their stocks rather than buy
additional material ; owners of two or
more yards have been shipping from one
to the other ; meanwhile consumption has
been going on, manufacturers have pre-
pared to curtail production, and all these
causes have resulted in a very small
visible supply of hemlock. On this basis
the market is in a decidedly promising

condition to grow strong.
Spring trade is not expected to come
with a rush, as dealers will continue their
policy of retrenchment, but this will. nec-
essarily pass by with the advance of
spring. Dealers will be cautious and con-
servative but not timid. There is an ex-
panding population pressing for new
homes to be reckoned with and trade
must necessarily be of good volume.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,
Orders for lumber have been a little
more plentiful during the past week, but
shipments have been retarded by scarcity
of cars. Several manufacturers have a
large number of orders waiting to be
shipped out, which will reduce the stock
of unsold lumber materially. Of a com-
paratively light stock in mill yards, there
is less box and mill culls than other grades,
The outlook for spring trade is considered
satisfactory. The pine manufacturers are
in some doubt as to the extent to which
the demand will be curtailed through the
presidentia! election in the United States,
but apart from this factor there are no
present nor prospective unfavorable con-
It is expected that the home con-
sumption absorb almost the entire
production of hardwood lumber, which as
a result will be little affected by the con-
ditions which may exist across the border.

are four feet of snow on the levei.

The customary dullness which generally
marks this season in the lumber trade is
quite pronounced in respect tospruce. No
sales of deals for the British market are as
yet reported, buyers being very cautious
about entering into contracts until the
course of events in Great Britain becomes
more certain. Stocks carried by the mills,
however, are lighter than one year ago;
in some parts of Nova Scotia the yards are
completely sold out. The log cut this
winter is likely to be smaller than Jast
season. On the Restigouche and Mira-
michi rivers the decrease is estimated at 20
per cent. Cedar will be very short in sup-
ply owing to the uncertainty of the United
States market. Cedar shingles are barely

In some quarters it was predict-

However, a conservative policy was pur-
sued and such advances as_ were
upon were offset by reductions on other
decided
grades. The list as it now stands repre-
sents current selling prices. The advances
were on No. 1 boards and products, 13
inch and wider, $2 per thousand feet ; 12
inch and wider, $1; No. 1, 8-inch, 18
and 20 feet long, $1 50; No. 2, S-inch, 18
and 20 feet, $1.50; small timbers, 12, 14
and 16 feet, 50 cents. Reductions
made on inch selects, C norway and thick
were
selects, also flooring and siding. Mixed
and No. 2 lath were reduced 25 cents. A
canvass of the situation showed that stocks
of lumber on hand are practically the same
in am.unt as at this time last year, but
there is a scarcity of low grade boards.
The curtailment in the log crop this winter
will be about 20 per cent. and the majority
of the large plants which operated night
and day expect to run days only during
the coming season. The present outlook
is that there will be a large amount of
building during the year, and many man-
ufactures and dealers believe that prices of
lumber are likely to advance. . Several
important sales of white pine to be cut as
soon as the mills resume operations are
reported. A decline of about $2 per thous-
and in the price of oak lumber is about
the only change in the hardwood situation.

and the fear of war in the East are two fac-
tors not calculated to inspire confidence.
On the other hand the stocks of lumber at
the leading ports are not excessively large
and in many cases are represented largely
by the lower grades. These are frequent-
ly sold under the hammer and consequently
the prices realized are apt to convey a
wrong impression as to the current market
prices for regular shipments. Spruce and
pine deals are in the hands of firms who
are financially able to hold for an indefinite
period, which fact has had much to do with
the exceptional strength of these classes of
lumber during the past few months.
land is taking considerable quantities of 9
inch spruce deals. White pine deals of
best quality sold lost year as high as £40
per standard. There has been a slight
falling off from this figure, but prices are
still high. As soon as the political situa-
tion becomes more settled there will no
doubt be a revival in trade, in which lum-
ber is likely to share to the full extent.
Ire-
STOCKS AND PRICES.
Extensive logging operations are being
carried on in the vicinity of Musquash,
N. B.
The Standard Lumber Company, of
Buffulo, reports a good trade in maple and
plain red oak.
Log run maple is quoted in the Saginaw
valley at $17.50; ash, $22; birch, $19 to
$22; elm, $21 to $24 ; basswood, $25 to
$27.
Sixty acres of timber lands in the parish
of St. Mary, Kent county, N.B., were last
week purchased from the Government by
the M. McLachlin Company at $129 per
square mile.
The logs comprising part of the Hig-
gins estate, Vancouver, B.C., were recently
sold by auction to the Pacific Coast Lum-
ber Company, who had already advanced
money on them.
Men for the woods are becoming more
plentiful and in consequence wages are
coming down. Bushmen whoa few months
ago could command $32 per month can
now be engaged for $28.
The Department of Railways and Can-
als at Ottawa will receive tenders up to
February zoth forthe supply of British
Columbia Douglas fir timber required for
the Rideau canal this year.
Duncan Graham and G. B. Ferguson,
of Renfrew, Ont., who purchased 25
square miles cf timber limits at the recent.
timber sale in Toronto, have started a camp
near North Bay and are taking out square
timber.
C. K. Eddy & Sons, of Bay City, Mich.,
who own approximately 500,000,000 feet
of pine timber in the Georgian Bay dis-
trict, are not cutting any logs this winter,
believing that the timber is a good asset
to hold.
Slack cooperage stock prices are said’
to be slightly easier, although there is
still a scarcity of No. 1 staves. Flour
barrels are quoted at Buffalo at 50 cents
for 6-hooped and 52% cents for 8-hooped.
Jobbers quote No. 1 dry elm flour barrel
staves at $13 and No, 2 at $9.50; No.
1 basswood heading, 10% cents; No. 2,
6 cents; coiled hoops, $9.25 for 5% foot
and $9.75 for 6 foot.
Calls for all kinds of hardwoods are in-
creasing and the business shows a small
gain over previous weeks, says the Mis-
sissippi Valley Lumberman. There has not
been much disposition to take hold, and
now that the holidays are over and the
factories have a moderate number of
orders on hand, they are inclined to take
a little stock and tactories.
There is no pressure of any kind of stock
on the market and the reverse condition
prevails in most varieties.

BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
VANCOUVER, January 6th, 1904.—The
owners of timber lands Crown-granted
prior to 1887 are about the only men en-
gaged in the logging industry who are
altogether satisfied with existing conditions.
This is due to the fact that the Govern-
ment, in its recent amendment to the Land
Act, neglected to bring the timber on their
holdings within the application of its grad-
uated tax and rebate scale. As a conse-
quence the owners of such lands are still
free to export their logs, cedar or fir, to
the United States upon the payment of the
royalty of 50 cents per thousand feet, as
provided for by section 54 of the Act. It
is generally believed that the Government

intended, when it drafted its bill of the
amendment tu the Land Act, to embrace
within its application timber lands Crown-
granted prior to 1887, but by some mis-
The export of
timber cut from such lands can now only
take such was not done.
be prevented by an amendment to the
present Act.
For the first time since the amendment
to the Land Act became law, a boom of
logs cut on the E. & N. Railway ‘ands on
Vancouver Island paid royalty to-day prior
to transportation to Puget Sound. The
royalty was paid according to Schedule
No. 1 of the amendment and ranged from
$1 per thousand feet to $1.50 per thousand
feet, according to the diameter of the logs
inthe boom. Payment was made by a
logger named Cook, who is operating on
a section of the E. & N. grant. The boom
measured approximately 600,000 feet.
The seller and exporter of the boom ex-
plained that he was merely trying the
exportation as an experiment to demon-
strate to his own satisfaction whether or
not any profit, under the terms of the
amended act, could be made through sell-
ing logs on the Sound.
The British Columbia Logging & Lum-
ber Compay, operating at the northern
end of Vancouver Island, has determined
to cease operations. The manager, Mr.
E. W. Wilson, says that the action the
company proposes to take is forced upon
them by the new schedule of taxation of
timber. They about
$75,000 in timber on Vancouver Island,
have invested
which cost an average of $1 a thousand
feet board measure standing. Logging ~
the timber cost them from $3.50 to $4.50
more, and towing the logs 75 cents. The

Mr. Wilson, ‘‘build a mill here, but what
guarantee have we that we shall not be

not have been so bad if they had given us

immediately, and I have just paid taxes

Logs in Vancouver and in the Sound are

close our camps and leave our standing
timber untill such time as a new law is
enacted.”
The Victoria Lumber and Manufactur-
ing Company, on the other hand, state
that there is a scarcity of logs in British
Columbia. Mr. J. J. Palmer, manager of
the mills at Chemainus, in a recent inter-
view said: “IT am in the market for
10,009,000 feet of merchantable fir, and
I will pay $6.50 per thousand feet, cash,
for firlogs delivered at the Chemainus
mills.” This company announce that they
have been unable to procure a _ sufficient
supply of logs in British Columbia, and as
aresult are importing logs from Puget
Sound. A boom of 700,000 feet is now
on its way to Chemainus from Port Lud-
low, and another tug will follow with a
boom of about 600,000 feet.
The firm ot H. H. Poole & Company has
been incorporated at Buffalo, to deal in
lumber. The capital stock is $50,000.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS,
ONTARIO.
The present lumber demand is on a
winter basis, and the deep snow is inter-
fering with the execution of such orders as
are placed. Judging by the number of
inquiries received by manufacturers there
is reason to believe that an active trade
will develop at an early date. No doubt
some of these inquiries are made with a
view to ascertaining the disposition of mill
men towards prices. There is unanimity
on one point, namely, that pine stocks will
not be offered at prices lower than pre-
vailed during the past year. A few mill
cuts are already under option,and Saginaw
and Bay City dealers have closed con-
tracts for a quantity of stock. It 1s ex-
' pected that within the next month a large
Proportion of the Georgian Bay cut will be
contracted for. The Ottawa valley pro-
duction of British deals has, with the
exception of the output of one mill, been
disposed of, the buyers being Messrs.
Watson & Todd, J. Burstall & Company,
Robert Cox & Company and W. & Ie
Sharples. Considerable waney timber to
be taken out this winter has also been
placed with the Montreal and Quebec
shippers at an advauce of from 10 to 15
per cent. over last year’s prices.
The hardwood market is gathering
strength and is in good shape. Business
is expected to pick up sharply during the
next month or six weeks. The output of
logs is being curtailed by the grea depth
of snow and there is every reason to ex-
pect that it will be possible to market all
the stock to be cut this year at prices
equal to or above those now ruling.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,
The cold weather has retarded the
movement of lumber to the Eastern States,
The large spruce mills shipping by water
are closed for the season and this has
given some activity to rail shipments. Al-
is generally quiet
though the demand
CANADA LUMBERMAN
prices are firm and there is some inquiry
in anticipation of the spring trade and
some disposition to supply probable needs.
New Brurswick cedar shingles are report-
ed to be slizh ly weaker, with considerable
quantities of extras offered at $3.40 for Bos-
ton delivery. Spruce laths are firmly held
at $3.49 for 156 inch and $3.20 for 1%
inch,
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
Retail dealers are placing a few orders
for lumber in anticipation of spring demand
but trade is hy no means active. It is not
exnected that business will improve very
much before the middle of February. In
British Columbia both lumber and shingles
are quiet, but a good season is anticj-
pated. In spite of the wet weather build-
ing operations in Vancouver and Victoria
are active and a number of large buildings
are being arranged for. Very few logs
are being put in the water, and labor in
the camps 1s freely offering. Wages are
now on about a par with those paid on the
American side of the line, as there has
been a further reduction this month of
from 25 to 50 cents per day.
UNITED STATES.
The lumber market of the United States
has assumed a more promising aspect.
There is some inquiry on the part of both
retail and wholesale dealers, and as a
considerable amount of building is in pro-
gress, and the amount promises to increase
in volume as the spring approaches, a
demand lumber seems
assured. Dealers in the Eastern States
are looking for an active trade and almost
moderate for
unanimously agree that prices are likely
to be maintained. There hasalready been
a slight improvement in the upper grades,
as will be seen by reference to our Buffalo
list. There should be no difficulty in
maintaining the price of box lumber, as
grades suitable for box making are almost
entirely out of the market and the demand
for boxes is as greatas ever. In Albany
10-inch box is selling at $20 and 12-inch
at $21. The statistics regarding the
northern pine cut and stocks show that
the stock of white pine on hand at the
close of 1903 was 148,167,000 feet less
than at the close of 1902 and 423,704,000
feet less than at the close of 1901. The
production was less than in the previous
year, but it appears that stocks on hand
have diminished to a greater extent than
has the production. In the face of these
statistics there seems to be little ground
on which to base the hope of lower prices.
An increase in the movement of hard-
woods is reported from several points.
Before the new cut is ready for the market
present stocks promise to be wiped out,
making lower prices almost an impossi-
bility. Nearly all consuming factories are
operating to their full capacity, and a
good demand for furniture and other
goods for which hardwood furnishes the
raw material is expected. Soft elm is
strong and scarce and birch and basswood
find ready sale. Ash is reported to bea
little irregu'ar, but it will no doubt improve
upon the approach of spring.
GREAT BRITAIN.
All classes of lumber have been moving
slowly in Great Britain of late. A few
sales for next season’s import have taken
place at prices said to represent a com-
promise between buyers and sellers. It
is generally considered, however, that
there is not much possibility of a material
decline in prices. During the past year
the import of lumber was greater than in
the previous year, yet notwithstanding the
frequent complaiats of limited consump-
tion, stocks on hand at the close of the
year were not above the average. The
better qualities of pine deals are in light
stock and commanding full prices. The
lower grades, on the other hand, are not
inquired for to any extent, and in some
districts prices are said to be a shade
easier. New Brunswick and Nova Scotia
spruce deals have arrived by the liners in
larger quantities than is usual, but lumber
has been readily taken. It is reported that
a cargo of St. John spruce had been sold to
Belfast parties at £8 13s 6d per standard
c.i.f. Belfast. It is also stated that on
account of the high prices asked for spruce
deals some buyers have been looking else-
where, and as a result 10,000 standards of
Galatz deals have been sold to British
firms for 1904 delivery. By some it is
claimed that this move on the part of
importers will have an effect on spruce
prices. Only a moderate, business is do-
ing in waney pine, the present high prices
tending to restrict consumption. Oak is
going into consumption at an average rate
and the stock of rock elm has been re-
duced to a low point.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
Logs from the Madawaska timber limits
are arriving at J. R. Booth’s mill at Ottawa
at the rate of 100 carloads per day.
The saw mill at Sidney, B.C., which re-
sumed operations recently, has just made
a shipment of 100,000 feet of lumber ty
Hong Kong.
The French Creek Lumber Company,
of Vancouver, B.C., recently shipped logs
to the United States on which they paid a
dollar a thousand royalty.
It is reported that Dobell, Becket &
Company have purchased from J. R.
Booth, of Ottawa, the waney timber taken
oft his Madawaska limits this winter.
The W. H. Sawyer Lumber Company,
of North Tonawanda, N. Y., recently
shipped 750,000 feet of high grade pine,
surfaced on four sides, to South Africa.
The Ladysmith Lumber Company, of
Ladysmith, B.C., cut during the season of
1903, 6,100,000 feet of lumber, 5,000,000
laths and 5,000,000 shingles, all of which
were sold.
Two Duluth firms are said to have sold
not less than 75,000,000 feet of white pine
lumber for the coming season’s delivery,
while others have sold lesser amounts and
the total business already done at Duluth
probably exceeds 150,000,000 feet. This
is ona cut that is now estimated at not
over 300,000,000 feet.
All cooperage stock is still scarce unless
it be hoops, which are comparatively low
and weak in price, Buffalo quotations
running from $9.25 to $9.75 for 534 and
6-foot, which is lower than the price has
been for years. Elm flour barrel staves
are up to $13.50 and basswood heading
10% cents for first-class.
W.S. Cook, of Vancouver, B. C., isa
loser to the extent of some $3,000 by the
breaking of a boom of logs he had stored
along the shore of Hardwick Island, on
Johnstone Straits. The boom contained
300,000 feet of logs and was stored await-
ing the arrival of a tug to tow it down to
the mill at Vancouver. Herbert Gilley, of
New Westminster, B. C., recently suffered
a similar loss. A boom of logs sold to the
Monarch Lumber Company, of Blaine,
Wash., met with a strong wind and when
WEEKLY EDITION
the boom reached Blaine it contained only
70 out of the 250 logs which it originally
comprised.
The output of the several saw mills on
the Saginaw river in Michigan in 1903 was
approximately 97,000,000 feet. During
the season there was brought into the
river from other manufacturing districts by
boat 138,000,000 feet as compared with
160,000,000 feet the previous year. How
the lumber industry in Michigan has
declined may be judged from the fact that
in 1851 the saw mills on the river manu-
factured 24,000,000,000 feet of lumber.
The Department of Interior at Ottawa
is asking for tenders for licenses to cut

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.
At the present time, owing to the pro-
tracted cold weather and heavy snow
storms, the consumption of shingles is very
light. It is well known that at this season
of the year there is never much business
and this particular season is if anything
more quiet than usual. We understand
that a good many of the manufacturers
still have on hand a proportion of their
1903 cut. The winter mills are now in
operation and will be in a position to make
some shipments before long. These facts
will make it possible for the retail trade to
replenish their stocks at fairly advantage-
ous prices.
We understand that the stocks in re-
tailers’ hands are about normal. Pros-
pects for building operations in New Eng-
land the coming spring are fairly yood
and we are inclined to believe that the
market this winter will follow the usual
course, that is to say, that prices will be
somewhat easier for some little period to
come. This will be followed bya harden-
ing in values towards spring. The present
quotations are as follows, f.o.b. cars,
Boston rate of freight : Extras, $3.35 to
$3-45 ; clears, $2.85 to $2.95 ; 2nd clears,
$2.25 to $2.40; clear whites, $2.15 to
$2.25.

LONDON TIMBER REPORT.
The following particulars of the London
timber market are extracted from Foy,
Morgan & Company's annual circular :
PinE.—The prices asked in January for
the spring shipments seemed at first reck-
lessly extravagant to the London dealers,
and it is not surprising therefore that for
two months or more forward business was
at a standstill. In March, however, some
ist and 2nd quality were sold, buyers hav-
ing by that time decided that they must
again accept in good faith shippers’ stat-
ments of the reduction in the supply of good
quality pine. The import has been larger
than last year, but the surplus consists al-
most entirely of 3rd and 4th quality of
pine, on which there has consequently
been a serious drop in values, although
the higher qualities still hold their own.
Business has been of a retail character,
and the consumption smaller than during
any of the previous five years. Canadian
shippers are now paying for 1904 produc-
tion some 1o per cent. advance on last
season's prices, the equivalent of which
will certainly be stoutly resisted by the
importers on this side.
SpruceE.—Selling for the new season
commenced in February, when some con-
siderable contracts of Quebec spruce were
closed on the basis of £10 and £9 15s. for
2nds, and £9 5s. for 3rds 3x9 c.i.f. With
regard to battens, 3x7 3rds_ were placed
at £7 15s. and £7 12s. 6d. c.i.f., but most
shippers asked 1os. more for 8-in. The
best stocks of unsorted lower port spruce
next found a fairly ready sale at £8 5s.
and £8 7s. 6d., for average 9g in., while
3x7 and Salone, of which there was evi-
dence of a considerable surplus in shippers’
stock notes, were pressed on the large
markets as low as £7 c.i.f. In March
several new stocks of Galatz white be ng
pressed for sale at £8 10s. to £8 15s.
for 3x9 and 3x11, all spruce business
experienced a very decided set-back
—the more especially as spot prices
had meanwhile not shown an adequate
response to the higher cost of the new
supplies. The second quarter of the year,
which witnessed the collapse of Riga
White prices, was a critical period also for
the spruce market, but shippers, having only
small stocks to deal with, and knowing the
high cost to replace in consequence of the
competition from the States, refused to
drop prices. Meanwhile the long-contin-
ued drought in Canada helped the situa-
tion materially by still further diminishing
the expected supplies. The import has
consequently been unusually small, and the
season ends with small stocks on this side
and prices re-established after the nominal
decline in the summer. At the shipping
ports the wintering stocks are reported to
be smaller than they have been for many
years.

RED Pine.—A large part of the previous
autumn’s importation of deal sizes was

made this summer, however, came for-
ward in good bright condition, and were
toa large extent disposed of privately.
Red pine has only a limited vogue except
as a substitute for Baltic redwood, so that
while sizes which are scarce will often
fetch as much as Baltic fir, one may see
those which are plentiful selling at the
same time at 1 heavy discount. The ex-
periment made in 1902 in shipping this
wood to the Cape proved a success, so
that considerable new orders were placed
this spring, starting in February, at £10
5s-for 3x9,and £8 for 3x7 and 8 f.o.b. Mon-
treal. This trade was greatly facilitated
by the inauguration of a line of Inter-col-
onial steamers, which catered for the par-
cel trade at a freight of 75s. These sales
checked business in the regular Swedish
deals with the Cape for several months,
and largely caused the drop in prices re-
ferred to above.
LUMBER PRODUCTION AND STOCKS.
Interesting the
lumber production and stocks on hand are
contained in the last issue of the Ameri-
can Lumberman. The statistics refer to
the States of Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota. The total cut of pine lumber
in these states during 1903 was 4,791,852,-
ooo feet, as compared with 5,294,395,000
feet in 1902, 5,336,448,000 feetin 1901,
and 5,485,261,000 feet in 1900. The
maximum figure was reached in 1890,
when the cut was 8,597,623,000 feet, and
since that time the cut has gradually de-

clined. The stocks of northern pine on
hand at the close of 1903 were 1,964,552,-
ooo feet, compared to 2,112,719,000 feet
in 1902, 2,388,256,o00 feet in 1901, and
2,839,705,000 feet in 1900. Stocks on
hand at the close of last year were 857,-
153,000 feet less than at the close of 1900,
while during the same period the produc-
tion declined 693,709,000 feet.
The shingle production has been ir-
regular and the totals do not show that
degree of decline that pertains to the
output of lumber. The production in 1903
WAS 2,342,202,000, in 1902 2,685,757,000,
in 1901 2,471,627,000, and in 1900
2,400,679,000. The stocks on hand at
the close of last year make a heavy
showing as compared with 1902, the
figures for the two years being 627,072,..00
and 397,815,000. This surplus is accounted
for by the dull market that prevailed late
last season, tugether with increased com-
petition from red cedars.
The hemlock output of Michigan, Wis-
consin and Minnesota in 1903 was 11,-
334,444,000 feet, against 1,277,814,000
feet in 1902, 1,264,943,000 feet in 1901,
and 1,166,288,o00 feet in 1900. There
has been a steady gain in the total pro-
euction of hemlock since 1899. The
stocks on nand at close of last year were
515,935,000 feet, which compares with
441,634,000 feet in 1902, 574,406,000 feet
in 1901, and 622,312,000 feet in 1900.

Reports from 122 wholesale dealers
show that at the end of last year they
were carrying 938,034,000 feet, while one
year earlier 90 dealers were carrying in
their yards 936,483,000 feet. For this
year the average amount of northern
pine held by each yard would be 7,688,803
feet, against 10,405,374 feet last year.
DEMAND FOR SQUARE AND WANEY
TIMBER.
The great feature in the London inark-
et, say Denny, Mott & Dickson, has been
the increase inthe price of waney pine
and rock elm. The scant supplies of these
woods in Quebec were cleared to Europe
without effort at unprecedentedly high
prices; and, although such high cost has
checked the use of these woods on this
side and increasingly caused Oregon pine
to be used asa substitute for white pine
decks, &c., a fairly satisfactory substitute
for rock elm has not yet oeen found. The
fact of an abnormally small wintered stock
at Quebec ofthese woods is causing the
Quebec shippers to still further increase
prices; and, in face of this information, it
is for consumers here to learn to do with-
out these woods or to pay during next
year the extravagant prices demanded.
Oak isin good supply, and prices have
been, and seem likely to remain, com-
paratively cheap.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS,
ONTARIO.
The lumber trade is to a certain extent
marking time. This refers especially to
large orders, there being some hesitancy
about entering into contracts until the
season is further advanced and the trend
of trade in the United States is more de-
finitely determined. Considering the un-
favorable weather conditions, considerable
lumber is changing hands. The retail
dealers have for some time been carrying
light stocks in anticipation of lower prices,
but as there is still no evidence that manu-
facturers will weaken in their asking
prices,they are now disposed to replenish
their stocks to some extent so as to take
care of early spring orders. This buying is
assisting to keep the market firm. While
United States trade is quiet and shipments
have been retarded by the heavy snow
storms, there is sufficient buying for home
consumption to give a firm tone to the
market. Hemlock perhaps leads in point
of strength. Some sales of stock to be
manufactured during the coming season
have been made at $11.50 per thousand,as
compared with $11 for the same class of
lumber last year. The hardwood demand
has not yet commenced to expand, but
greater activity is confidently expected
very shortly and a goad season seems as-
sured. Interior hardwood finish will no
doubt be a ready seller, as building oper-
ations throughout the province promise to
be on a large scale. Shingles are show-
ing a little more strength, although there
has been no improvement in prices.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The spruce lumber market has under-
gone no important change since last writ-
ing. There is as yet no pronounced activ-
ity, although buying by retail dealers is on
a slightly increased scale. It is reported
at Quebec that some square timber has
been contracted for at an acvanced price,
but definite information is not obtainable.
There is no dcubt but that the tendency of
square and waney timber prices is up-
wards. So far as immediate business is
concerned, white cedar shingles are quiet.
There isa considerable stock offering at
from $3.35 to $3.40 for extras on Boston
rate of freight, but it is significant to note
that manufacturers and wholesalers are
unwilling to accept orders for future de-
livery at any figure pelow $3.50. The
shingle market is feeling the benefit of the,
arrangement for the control of the British
Columbia output, as during the past year
competition from that source was quite
severe.
UNITED STATES.
The lumber trade of the United States
during the past week has been of moderate
volume, though no very important sales
are reported. Manufacturers are not
urging sales and are unwilling to make any
concessions Buying has not
yet begun in earnest, but reports from the
Lake Superior district state that dealers
are feeling the market and that there is
in prices.

Southern Lumber Manufacturers’ Associa-
tion made a number of slight advances
over the October list. Third clear finish
was advanced $1 a thousand, shiplap and
common lumber 50 cents, and grooved

. mixed 4-foot lath were placed at $3 to
points where a freight rate of 23 cents is
in effect. No changes were made by the
North-Western Hemlock Association, the
price list of August 28, 1903, being re-
affirmed.
Hardwood prices are being well main-
tained, and while business is a little quiet
at the present time the outlook is positive-
ly bright. There are no surplus stocks on
hand, and as most of the consuming fac-
tories are now in operation, with prospects
of continued activity for some months to
come, there is reason to expect a heavy
"consumption of hardwood lumber. There
may be a lack of demand from the car
shops and railroads as compared to that
of last year, but this will not be a serious
matter. The demand for black ash
exceeds the supply, and elm and bass-
wood are as scarce as ever.
GREAT BRITAIN.
Buyers of lumber in Great Britain have
for some time been predicting lower prices,
but comparison shows that no important
decline has as yettaken place. Ceriain
it is that consumption is not all that could
be desired, and that consumers are pursu-
ing avery conservative policy with respect
to purchases, but it is not unusual to find
an apparently gloomy view taken at this
season of the year, when many persons
are anxious to contract for their lumber
requirements on the most advantageous
terms possible. We hear very favorable
reports regarding waney and square pine,
of which the stock on hand is very light.
It is pointed out that during the past seven
years the Clyde stocks of white pine tim-
ber have fallen from 19,400 loads to 7,300
loads. Best quality pine deals are held
very firmly, prices ranging between $30
and $34 per St. Petersburg standard of
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
eee Ee
1,980 feet. The same may he said of
spruce deals, of which the consumption,
comparatively speaking, is quite large.
The lower cost makes spruce lumber much
favored for many purposes, and this will
be more pronounced as the price of pine
advances.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
The St. Croix Lumber Co., of Hartville,
N.S., expect to cut about 5,000,000 feet

About a million feet of norway and
white pine logs and several hundred cedar
poles, which had been cut by trespasserc,
were offered for sale by auction at
Crookston, Minnesota, on January 16th.
The successful purchasers were Sprague

J. P. Mosher, who is operating the
rotary mill on the Knight proverty at
Musquash, N.B., expects to manufacture
about 1,500,000 feet of lumber
winter. In the spring two rotaries will
be put in operation at the water mill,
where about 7,000,000 feet of logs will be
sawn.

The Department of Indian Affairs at
Ottawa is asking tor tenders up to Feb-
ruary oth, for the dezd and fallen

The lumber cut of the H. Witbeck Coni-
pany, of Marinette, Wis., for the coming
year, was last week sold to the Edward
Hines Lumber Company, of Chicago. The
price paid for the cut is said to have been
about the same as last year. The trans-
action represents about 20,000,000 feet,
of which 11,000,000 feet is white pine,
2,000,000 feet norway and 7,000,000 feet
hemlock.
From Edmiston & Mitchell’s Glasgow
timber circular: The import of birch from
Montreal and Quebec amounts to 2,350
loads of logs and 1,260 loads ot planks,
compared with 1,230 loads of logs and
1,940 loads of planks last year, while from
the lower ports there arrived about 2,000
loads of logs and 3,000 loads of planks,
against 2,200 loads last year. As has been
the case for the past few the
demand has been of the most languid
kind, and except in the case of large prime
logs, suitable for
(which were never too plentiful and con-
sequently brought full
years,
boarding purposes
values), prices
proved far from satisfactory to importers.
These ranged Quebec
timber from 1s. for small inferior logs, up
in the case of
to 2s. 2d. for first-class 19-inch average,
while for lower port logs current va'ues
have been from 14d. to 17d. per foot.
Planks also proved dull of sale, and prices
were for the most part round Is. per foot.
The stock on hand of both logs and planks
consists chiefly of low port.
BUFFALO NOTES.
BUFFALO, Jan, 23, 1904.—The trade con-
tinues slow as is usual in winter.
The Buffalo hardwood merchants con-
tinue to find increasing difficulty in the se-
curing of Canadian hardwoods, this being
due, they say, to the large increase in the
home demand and the consequent raising
ot prices. That they recognize the hope-
lessness of the situation is seen in the fact
that to-day it is not possible to find more
than one or two firms with representative
buyers in Ontario, whereas three years
age that province was simply overrun with
them.
The box manufactures here are gradual-
ly turning their eyes towards Canada, the
growing scarcity of box lumber at the
head of the lakes, their formerly source of
supply, being most marked.
H. M. Poole & Com-
pany, has been formed here for conducting
A new concern,
a lumber business, with capital of $50,000.
The directors, Henry M. Poole, Guy J.
Buell, Gilbert L. Hume, Whitney G. Case
and Moses Shires, are all experienced
lumbermen and propose doing a large
trade in hemlock.

BIRD'S EYE MAPLE.
Concerning maple lumber Messrs.
Churchill and Sim, of London, England,
say: “This wood seems now to be quite
out of fashion for picture frames, and its
use for cabinet work is so small that a few
logs each year suffice for all purposes.
The consumption of plain hardwood for
flooring purposes is steadily increasing,
and this promises to be a large trade;
logs were not wanted and only a few were
sent; of planks the stock is still too
heavy.”

BRITISH COLUMBIA LUMBER
CONDITIONS.
After two years of success{ul association
work the export mills of the Pacific Coast
have been obliged to abandon the cargo
combination, and thus for the present the
Pacific Coast Lumber Exporters’ Associa-
tion terminates its existence. The reason
for this is found in the fact that one mem-
ber of the association, Pope & Talbot, of
San Francisco, refused to enter an agree-
ment for another year, and their refusal
released all other
foreign cargo market in the category of
an open market. Mr. R. H. Alexander,
manager of the Hastings saw mill branch,
was one of a deputation who irterviewed
Pope & Talbot to endeavour to induce
them to continue in the association, but
efforts in that direction were unsuccessful.
mills and put the
One of the reasons advanced for their
action is that they considered that, as
pioneers in the foreign trade, they were
enly encouraging and assisting other and
more recent exporters to secure a share
ef the trade. It is claimed that in the
two years during which the foreign trade
has been handled by agreement, the
business has been more profitable than in
previous years.
The domestic lumber business of British
Columbia is looking up a little. Mills
which for some time past have been run-
ning On short time are now working full
time, and some good-sized orders have
been booked by some of the mills for both
lumber and shingles. It is reported that
Woods & Spicer and the Hastings Shingle
Manufacturing Company have contracted
to supply a large quantity of shingles to a’
Boston firm.
The demand for logs is still quiet, but as
the supply is light, prices are a shade
stiffer. Fir logs are quoted at from $5 to
$7.50 per thousand delivered at the mill,
and cedar at from $5.50 to $8.50, accord-
ing to quality.
Mr. R. H. Alexander, secretary of the
British Columbia Mills, Timber & Trading
Company, of Vancouver, B.C., has sent a
communication to the Pacific Coast Lum-
ber Trade Journal giving his opinion on
the lumber outlook. Mr. Alexander
characterizes the past year as a season of
unprofitable business, the fault of the pro-
ducers themselves, and argues as follows :
“The causes for this unfortunate state of
affairs, in my opinion, are almost entirely
confined to two; in fact almost to one, as
the first produces the second, and these
are, firstly, overproduction, and secondly,
fierce (one might term it almost insane)
competition between the different produc-
ers for business to market their over-pro-
duction.
‘As far as I can ascertain from the in-
formation at hand, the different branches
of the trade have not fallen off in volume

il.
during the last year, and the price of our
product has not been forced down by com-
petition with cheaper lumber from other
sources.
‘In two branches, the foreign and the
coastwise, owing to the decline in freights,
lumber could be turnished at the end of the
year at a lower delivered cost to the cus-
tomer than at the beginning of 1903, and
stil net the producer a oetter price. The
price while remunerative to the producer,
did not check consrmption, as the volume
of trade in 1903 was greater than in 1902.
Consumers were able to use our product
at these prices, and would have continued
to do so had not we poor fools of producers
killed the goose which laid the golden
eggs for us, with a surfeit of food, with
the result that instead of making a legiti-
mate prot for ourselves, and at the same
time benefiting business conditions gener-
ally ina host of ways, we are now making
a present of allthis to the consumer. The
fect is that though many in the trade could
remember the conditions which existed for
upwards of ten years prior to 1992, a great
many more did not have that experience,
and asaw mill on the Pacific Coast ap-
peared a veritable bonanza ; hence mills
have been built by the score, and many of
those already in the business, finding they
were doing well, could not rest satisfied
without a larger share, and either enlarged
their mills or started grinding out lumber
by night as well as by dav, or even did
both. The production became far in ex-
cess of any possible demand, and not being
able to find a legtimate outlet for their
product, the absurd old game began of
stealing business from one another by cut-
ting prices. Thisno doubt would answer
for oneself, if left to play the game alone,
but anyone who flatters himself that his
doings in this respect remain unnoticed,
reminds me of the story of the ostrich that
fancies because its head is hidden in the
At the
most but a temporary advantage can be

We carry a full supply of native Hardwoods always on hand and solicit your inquiries.
At the present time we have piled at outside points about 2,000,000 feet of Hard-

gained, ‘‘A” steals an order or a cus-
tomer which naturally would be ‘‘B’s”.
“B" to make up for this loss of business
retaliates by a greater cut in price to re-
gain it or steal some of ‘‘C’s” and so it
works in a circle until all find themselves
with really less business than they had
before, and at a price which yields them
no profit, fora weakening of prices, instead
of stimulating trade, has generally the
opposite effect, as buyers become nervous;
each is afraid his neighbor may be able to
purchase more cheaply than himself, and —
all therefore are inclined to wait until
prices touch the bottom ; that is, until the
producer can go no lower.
The sooner we recognize that the
trouble lies with the producing end of the
trade, and apply measures of self-cure,
the sooner will concitions improve. It
appears to me that common sense should
teach us that the only real cure for over-
production is to iessen it; so, as a

human-nature for ‘*B”’ to sit idle all day
and see “* A”’ running both night and day,
without trying to obtain some share of
the business ‘* A” is enjoying. It is quite
possible ‘‘A”’ may be an old-established
firm and could reply, ‘‘ my position in the
trade andthe clientage I hold give me
trade that requires my running night
and day ; let *‘B” go and establish his
own trade instead ot demanding some of
mine.” All very well, but can you, friend
‘© A”, hold that
meet the prices made by ‘‘B,” ‘‘C,” and
‘“D"? The whole experience of the
clientage except you
trade is that you cannot. Four apples
will not furnish a whole apple each to five
parties, each hungry for apple, and there
is certain to be trouble till number five,
who may have just appeared on the scene,
gets a share that satisfies him ; therefore
“live and let live” should be the motto;
better to let one-fifth go and make a profit
on four-fifths than to make no profit at all.
At the same time the last comer should
recognize that he has had nothing to do
with growing the apples, and that it is not
policy for him to demand too big a bite in
case the other four make up their minds
to throw away their apples rather than
share them.”

CURRENT TRADE CONDITION .
ONTARIO.
The lumber business, is practically at a
stand-still. | Outdoor work has been ren-
‘dered difficult by the severe weather and
heavy snow storms, and the latter have
made it almost impossible to make ship-
ments. The trade generally are now more
concerned about prices that are to be
asked for new stock than anything else.
It is admitted that the outlook
able for a heavy local consumption of lum-
ber as soon as spring opens, the demand
for buildings of all kinds being still great.
In Toronto the increased building opera-
tions have not yet provided an adequate
supply of houses, and similar conditions
exist in many other places.
therefore, that there will be an average
consumption of lumber, it becomes a moot
question what course prices willtake. A

Granting,
i.
few persons predict a decline in values;
others, and perhaps the majority, contend
that present prices will oe maintained,
and by the more optimistic it is predicted
that there will be a sharp advance when
the season gets in full swing. A strong
argument in favor of higher prices is found
in the fact that the winter has been un-

tors have been forced to stop skidding logs

favorable for work in the woods.
timated cut, which was somewhat lighter
than the preceding year, promises to be
further curtailed from 15 to 25 per cent.
All kinds of
lumber will be affected, but particularly
hemlock and hardwoods, which are con-
fined almost entirely to the snow belt.
The fact that dealers and consumers are
anxious to contract for stock at current
prices is an evidence that the probability
of a serious log shortage is appreciated.
by the cause referred to.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The only feature to the eastern lumber
market is an advance in the price of square
and waney timber. Contracts recently
closed show an advance of 5 cents per
cubic foot over the prices obtained last
year. The maximum figures for square
pine, 40 to 45 feet, delivered at Quebec, is
55 cents, and for Ottawa waney 65 cents
per 18-inch average and 69 cents for 21-
inch, Birch timber is also about 2 cents
per cubic foot higher and there has been
a slight appreciation in red pine. New
Brunswick spruce deals wintering at St.
John are reported to be slightly weaker.
The larger manufacturers, however, are
holding their asking prices sieady, as they
claim that they cannot sell at a lower
figure without incurring loss. New Bruns-
wick cedar shingles still range from $3.30
to $3.40 for extras on Boston freight rates.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
The lumber trade is more quiet than
usual at this season of the year. Dealers
are not carrying large stocks, but are dis-
posed to delay placing orders until later in
the season. Indications point to another
very active building season in Winnipeg,
as already plans are under way for a num-
ber of important structures. At provincial
points also there is likely to be consider-
able activity and a large consumption of
lumber. Some apprehension has been creat-
ed by the breaking up of the Pacific Coast
Lumber Exporters’ Association by which
the cargo trade of the Pacific coast was
controlled. Itis said that already one of
the British Columbia companies engaged
in that trade has reduced the wages of its
employees on account of a decline in lum-
ber prices. Many ofthe logging camps
are closed down as a result of deep snow.
UNITED STATES.
At this time there is very little lumber
moving in the United States. Any dis-
position to buy has been thwarted by the
severe weather, and until there is a decid-
ed change little activity islooked tor. In
the face of these conditions, prices rule
very firm. The middle grades of pine are
less firm than the rest of the list, but there
is no marked weakness in anything. It is
said that in the Lake Superior district the
lower grades are bought up so closely that
the market is almost bare of stock. Recent
quotations on No. 5 boards from manu-
facturers are $7.50 and $8. There con-
tinues to be a steady demand for box
Jumber, and some concerns who have been
short and have been unable to obtain stock
owing to the heavy snow storms are in an
awkward position. Some contracting for
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
ee elt nll
the new cut has been done and there
seems to be a disposition on the part of
consumers to place orders whenever they
are offeredthe sl ightest inducement, as
they recognize the probability of a Jumber
shortage on account of unfavorable log-
ging weather. Hardwoods are not moving
very actively, but the position is strong.
At many points the supply of dry stock is
practically exhausted and sales that are
now made are of lumber yet to be cut or
that is being manufactured. There is some
demand from dealers for maple, soft
elm, birch and basswood. The Hardwood
Manufacturers’ Association last week
adopted a new list which makes an advance
in the prices of cherry, walnut, hickory,
thick ash, and one or two other kinds of
lumber. The hardwood lumber business
of the United States is now thoroughly
organized and thisshould do much towards
maintaining prices.
GREAT BRITAIN.
Lumber buyers in Great Britain are pur-
suing a waiting attitude. The question of
war or peace between two powerful
nations is still in the balance, and if the
negotitiations now pending should be fol-
lowed by hostilities, the effect upon the tim-
ber trade would not be beneficial. There
is also the uncertainty regarding the fiscal
policy. The most that can be expected
under these conditions is that lumber
prices will remain steady. The most im-
portant development during the past fort-
night is a decline of ten shillings a stand-
ard in the price of Swedish redwood. This
has caused buyers to be still more cautious
and it is difficult to close contracts. Pine
deals have been received at Liverpool and
London in considerable quantities from
Portland and Boston, evidently the low
rate of ocean freight being an inducement
to ship by rail to these points. Asa rule
the shipments have been upon arrival ahd
consequently values remain firm, with
perhaps a slight upward tendency. Spruce
deals are going into consumption at a mod-
erate rate, and notwithstanding the low
prices realized at late auction sales values
generally are firm.
saennREEEieEmeeedeee eee
STOCKS AND PRICES.
O. J. O'Brien, who is lumbering at Noel,
N. S., expects to cut 500,000 feet of deals
during the coming season.
The trans-Atlantic shipments from the
port of Tusket, N. S., in 1903 were 4,000-
ooo feet, the shippers being Dickie & Mc-
Grath,
S. O. Church & Bro., of Sand Point,
Ont., have seven camps in operation tak-
ing out cooperage stock timber, six in
Ontario and one in Quebec.
Hugh Rutherford, of St. Helens, Ont.,
recently sold to Mr. Mitchell, ot Lucknow,
180 trees for $1,800—another evidence of
the value of standing timber.
J. McTeigue, ot Port Arthur, Ont., is
asking for tenders for the supply of 1,500
standard railway ties, including green
cedar, tamarac and jack pine.
Fifteen million feet of lumber owned by
White, Ryder & Frost were destroyed by
fire at Tonawanda, N. Y., last week. It is
said that the loss is upwards of $300,000,
but that the lumber was fully insured.
A Toronto firm is reported to have pur-
chased 15,000,000 feet of lumber from the
Edward Hines Lumber Company to be
cut this season by the Hayward mill at
Duluth, Minn. The stcck is intended for
export.
About 8,000,000 feet of No. 3 and No. 4
boards was last week sold to Buffalo
parties, partly at Duluth and partly at
Cloquet, Minn. Itis said that $12 was
paid for No. 3 and $6.50 for the No. 4.
Lumbering operations are being carried
on quite extensively in the vicinity of Mid-
gic, N. B., this winter. The Operators
are Arthur George, of Upper Sackville,
Isaac Kay, of Centre Village, and Charles
Hicks and J. & C, Hickman, of Midgic.
It is estimated that the log cut on the
Penobscot waters this winter will exceed
that of last season, amounting probably
to 225,000,000 feet. On the St. fohn river
waters in Maine,which include the Aroos-
took river, the aggregate cut will be
64,000,000 feet.
Lumbering operations around New Lis-
keard, in the Temiskaming district, were
very active this winter. The Rideau
Lumber Company, J. R. Booth and E. B.
Eddy, of Ottawa, are all operating there,
while J. B. Klock, of Klock’s Mills, and
Gillies Bros., of Braeside, are taking out
square timber. It is estimated that these
lumbermen will purchase from the settlers
tully $200,000 worth of saw logs and
pulp wood this winter.
The Department of Interior, Ottawa, is
asking for tenders up to February 24th
for a license to cut timber on Berth No.
1133, township 7, and on Berth No. 1134
situate on Bloodvein river, both in the
Province of Manitoba. The former con-
tains 24 square miles and the latter two
square miles. The Department will also
receive tenders up to March 22nd for alic-
ense to cut timber on Berth No. 1138 in
the vicinity of Fox Plain, District of Sas-
ketchewan, containing thirty square miles
to be selected in not more than six blocks
within a prescribed area.
Newman Silverthorne, Somerville,Ont.,
last week sold to A. S. Lamb and William
Harris,of Meadowvale,the standing timber
on about 150 acres of land situated at
Somerville, in the township of Etobicoke,
ten miles west of Toronto. It is probably
the largest body of standing timber near
Toronto and consists of maple, basswood,
beech, elm, hickory, oak, birch, ash anda
small quantity of hemlock. The purchasers
are to remove the timber within a period
of four years and are to be allowed to cut
all trees over 15 inches in diameter 3 feet
from the ground. It is stipulated that the
timber must be manufactured on the ground
While the details of the transaction are not
announced, it is understood that the pur-
chasers agreed to pay about $8 per thous-
and feet for the timber as it stands. I
this price is correct it indicates the en-
hanced value of a hardwood forest.
Lene)
Under date of January 16th, Messrs. S.
P. Musson, Son & Company comment on
the Bardados lumber market as follows:
‘‘There have been no arrivals of either
white pine or spruce since our last report,
but dealers’ yards are fully stocked, and if
further receipts take place in the immedi-
ate future we anticipate lower prices. Of
the lots mentioned in our last the spruce
by the “‘Lolita A” was rejected and re-
February 3, 190478
sold at $18.05 round. The white pine by
The ‘‘H. Shafner” was also rejected and
sold at $17 round. The only arrival of
shingles is a small lot of 54,000 Long Gas-
pe by the ‘‘Dahome,” which were sold at
$6.01. This description and Dimension
Cedar are both wanted, but Laying Cedar
are in fair supply.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
[Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN]
It is now an assured fact that the log cut
in the Ottawa district will show a marked
reduction on that of the season of 1902-
1903. On account of the deep snow, log
cutting has had to be suspended from
three weeks to a month earlier than was
expected at the beginning of the season
as judged by the records of previous years.
Even the work of log hauling has been
attended with great difficulty and hundreds
of extra horses have had to be engaged.
On most of the limits the snow lies from four
to five feet in depth.
Business continues slack in and about
the lumber yards. As a consequence
prices show few changes and hold to
the figures that ruled for several months
past. Pine shorts have declined a dollar
a thousand. Lath isalso easier by twenty-
five cents, but shingles are firmer, showing
a corresponding advance. In hardwoods
there is considerable uncertainty and ic is
difficult to catch a figure. A larger out-
put in the Ottawa district is looked for,but
as the demand is constantly increasing,
this will make little or no difference on
prices.
The latest deal in square timber secured
for the McArthur Export Company the
cut of the Mason & Gordon Company, of
North Bay. The prices mentioned on the
street is 58 cents.
Government returns show that the square
and waney limber output will be slightly
greater this season than last. While there
is a marked falling off in the Kippewa dis-
trict there is an increase in the Georgian
Bay and Thunder Bay districts.
Hurdman & Elmitt, of Ottawa, have
contracted for the entire cut of 1904 shin-
gles at the mill of the James Maclaren
Estate at Buckingham. The same enter-
prising firm handled this shingle cut last
season.
On account of low water caused by the
accumulation of anchor ice and snow, it
has been found necessary to shut down the
big Booth mill. Dynamite is being used
to blast out the ice.
The Booth mill is receiving daily large
shipments of logs by rail from the Mada-
waska limits.

interest in the management of the new
company, which is known as the Robert
Stewart Company, Limited. Mr. Robert
Stewart is president, Mr. R. D. Stewart

engaged in the trade, his business having
been established in 1856.

THE BOSTON MARKET.
“Millions of feet of spruce logs were left
in the Maine rivers last year, which will
come down early this spring. The high
prices of lumber have stimulated logging,
so if the weather is favorable a large
amount of logs will be put into the rivers
this The large supply of this
year added to the surplus of last year may
depress the price of spruce lumber. Re-
ports from most of the large lumber yards
of New England say they have on hand
winter.

“} CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS,
ONTARIO.
Considering the unusually cold and
stormy weather, the movement of lumber
has been entirely satisfactory. The num-
ber of orders which salesmen have been
able to book has been a surprise and is
taken as strong evidence that consumers
domot anticipate lower prices. Stocks in
the yards are low, and it will be necessary
to replenish them in order to handle the
spring trade. There is an emphasized
demand for box lumber and slightly more
inquiry for mill culls and the lower end of
pine than for the middle and upper grades,
The number of inquiries for hardwoods is
increasing. The consuming factories are
meeting manufacturers, prices and the tone
of the market is very strong. A brisk de-
mand is expected from this time on. _ In-
terference to logging operations through
the deep snow has placed the control of
prices largely in the _hands of the produc-
ers. The latter are a unit in holding out
for prices which will give a fair margin
over the ccst of production. Shingle prices
in the Ottawa Valley are firmer.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The course of the spruce market is still
somewhat uncertain. Manufacturers are
asking high prices but shippers are re-
luctant about buying, as their agents in
Great Britain have not so far been very
successful in closing contracts at remun-
erative prices. It is certain that lower
prices will not be accepted without very
H.
strong opposition, as logging this winter
has been expensive. It is estimated that
the log cut on the Upper St. John river
will be about 115,000,000 feet, which is
slightly less than the cut of last year.
Late sales of square and waney timber
have confirmed the advanced prices re-
ferred to in a previous issue. One
authority quotes the following prices for
waney timber for the Quebec market,
average 24/25 feet lineal: 16-inch girth,
64 cents per cubic foot; 16%-inch, 65
cents; 17-inch, 66 cents; 17%-inch, 67
cents; 18-inch, 68 cents; 18%-inch, 69
cents; 19-inch, 70 cents. Of course, in
order to realize such prices the timber
must grade 8o to 85 per cent. first-class.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
The demand for lumber in the west i$
still light, but there is plenty of business in
sight. The permits issued since the first
of the year for new buildings in Winnipeg
presage another very active building
season, with a consequent heavy demand
for lumber. The British Columbia saw
mills have sufficient orders to keep stocks
from accumulating in large quantity and
the outlook for the spring trade is con-
sidered bright. Negotiations are under
way with the object of preventing, if
possible, some of the ruinous competition
for which the United States manufacturers
have be.n responsible. The plan is to
obtain a concession on freight rates from
the Canadian Pacific Railway, this to be
followed by a readjustment and slight
lowering of lumber prices. Conferences
are beng held in Winnipeg this week with
the ol j.ct of perfecting the scheme.
Washington manufacturers have made
an advance of to cents per thousand on
shingles, which have been exceptionally
low in price for some time past, and it is
reported that similar action will be taken
by the manufacturers of British Columb‘a
in respect to thst portion of the product
marketed in the Eastern States.
UNITED STATES.
Severe weather has occasioned inactiv-
ity in the lumber mirket and the prospect
of a continuation of exist'ng conditions is
not regarded with favor by those who have
large stocks ready for the sp'ing trade.
However, the out!ook has br'ghtened
during the past week. A few buyers have
visited the Lake Superior district and
closed contracts fer stocks on hand and to
be manufactured. That dry docks are
weil nigh exhausted is proven by the fact
that at Duluth there is only one stock of
pine lumber still unsold. Every box board
has been picked up, and material which
two or three years ago would be classed
as refuse and burned now finds a ready
market for box-making purposes. Buffalo
_ and Tonawanda dealers are looking for-
ward to an active demand as soon as
spring open, as yard stocks in the Eastern
States are known to be very low. The
disastrous fire in Baltimore will also create
a very heavy demand for building material
for the reconstruction of the burned district.
Pine prices are steadier than they have
been, consumers apparently appreciating
the shortage of stock to a greater extent
than they did earlier in the winter.
& Hardwood prices in Michigan this winter
are higher than ever before. Log run
basswood is bringing $25 per thousand,
soft elm $22, birch $21, and maple $15.
While some buyers are pursuing a conser-

a ee ee
vative policy, others are satisfied that
prices are at rock bottom and that nothing
is likely to be gained by [waiting. The
winter in the north has not been favorable
for getting out hardwood logs, but in the
south good progress has been made, and
there is likely to be a large production of
southern hardwoods this year. Orders for
shingles are more numerous and the
market is firmer. A heavy spring move-
ment is anticipated.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The British market still displays much
hesitancy. Importers do not look with
favor upon the high prices that are asked
for new stock. They are not disposed to
close contracts at shippers’ figures, and
consequently the contracting season has
been very backward. It is predicted that
it will be the end of February before there
is any buying to speak of. The com-
mencement of hostilities between Russia
and Japan has increased the prevailing
uncertainty. Theeffect of the war, even
if confined to the two nations now involved
will be to create a heavy demand for
money and increase the difficulty of secur-
ing accommodation for building and busi-
ness purposes generally.
Holders of pine and spruce deals wil}
probably profit by the increased prices
being asked for 1904 stocks. There is a
light supply of regular sizes, any accumu-
lation being confined to oddments, which
are at no time in very good demand. Con-
sumers are still refusing to buy square and
waney timber excepting where it must be
used. Rock elm and oak are now so high
in price that substitutes are being sought
after, and thismay curtail the consum,-
tion during the coming season.
THE WHITE PINE PRODUCTION.
The statistics covering the year 1903
show very clearly that the white pine pro-
duction is gradually diminishing. | Michi-
gan, Wisconsin and Minnesota comprise
the white pine centre of the United States.
The total cut of these three States reached
the high water mark in 1890, when the
cut was 8,597,623,000 feet. The following
year witnessed a slight decline, and in
1892 there was aga‘n an increase to 8,594,-
010,000 fet. In 1895 the cut was 7,000,-
000,000 feet, but this amount has not since
been reached, and there has been a steady
dec'ine to 4.791,c00,000 feet last year, the
lowest point reached since 1878. Nothing
ceu'd more conclusively show that the
northern pine supply of the United States
has declined beyond the possibility of any
approach to the output of even six or
seven years ago.
With the decadence of the Michigan
timber supply operators turned their at-
tention to Ontario, where all energies have
been concentrated towards a large pro-
duction. Notwithstanding this fact, as
well as the prosperous condition of the
lumber trade, the total production of the
Ottawa Valley and Georgian Bay districts
last year was little greater than in the pre-
vious year. The Georgian Bay district
shows an increase of 60,000,000 feet, but
this is offset to a large extent by a reduc-
tion of 46,000,000 feet in the Ottawa Val-
ley cut,
Equally interesting are the statistics in
respect to stocks on hand at the mills. OF
the Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan
production the stock on hand at the close
FLOORING
of last year was 1,964,000,c00 feet; the
lightest in the hands of manufacturers
since 1887. It is 148,000,000 feet less than
1902, 420,000,000 feet less than in 1901,
875,000,000 feet less than 1900, 764,000,-
000 feet less than in 1899, 1,550,000,000
feet less than in 1898, 2,051,000,000 teet
less than in 1897, 2,089,000 000 feet less
than in 1896, and 2,216,000,000 feet less
than in 1895.
No complete statistics are obtainable in
reference to the quantity of stock in the
hands of manufacturers in Ontario, but
after careful inquiry it may be said that
almost the entire production of 1903 has
passed out of first hands. There is absu-
lutely no box lumber unsold at the mills,
and very little of other grades.
It is not only at the mills that there is a
shortage in the pine supply. Statistics
compiled by the new White Pine Associa-
tion of Buffalo and Tonawanda show there
are 144,000,000 feet of white pine in the
Tonawanda market and 53,000,000 feet in
the Buffalo market, with one or two yards
This quantity isa great deal
less than the stocks of former years. There
is, it is said, an absolute shortage in many
individual items some of which are cur-
rently in large demand.
unreported.
The question to be considered is the
production of logs this winter. In the
Northern States every indication points to
a material reduction. Many of the big
concerns who have being putting in from
one to two hundred million feet for years
have not contracted for more than half that
In Ontario there was at the
commencement of the logging season a
determination on the part of operators to
curtail their output from 15 to 25 per cent.
as compared with last Early
work in the woods was hampered by the
difficulty of procuring sufficient labor, and
a little later on, when labor became more
plentiful, there was a very heavy fall of
snow, which has since rendered work in
the woods most difficult and expensive.
In nearly all the white pine territory the
snow is from three to five feet deep, mak-
ing it almost impossible to haul the hogs.
The result is that the output of logs will
fall considerably short of the estimated
quantity. Some estimates place the short-
age as compared with last season at from
30 to 40 per cent.
amount.
season.
A market shortage of logs would, there-
fore, seem to be a certainty, and the effect
upon lumber prices cannot be otherwise
than strengthening. Such logs as reach the
mills will representJafhigh cost tothe manu-
facturer, rendering it absolutely necessary
that he should obtain a high price for
his lumber in order to prevert loss. Should

te $13.50 according to grade,heading 6 to
10% cents, and coiled hoops $9.25 to

000 feet of white and norway pine. The
Merrill-Ring Lumber Company, of the
same city, have closed out the last of their
dry stock, 6,500,000 feet of log run, to

wanda. ‘
E. H. Lemay, of Montreal, has_pur-
chased the 1904 cut of white pine of the
well-known firm of McLachlin Bros., Arn-
prior, Ont., which will amount to about
40,000,000 feet. Much of this stock will be
distributed through W.M.Crombie & Com-
_ pany, of New York, selling agents for E.
H. Lemay.
The Barbados lumber market is thus
reviewed by Clairmonte, Man & Company
‘There have been
ing the fortnight. Our market is fully
stocked, but prices have been fairly main-
tained. The last sale of white pine for a
cargo on the spot was at $25 per thousand
for merchantable and $20 for second qual-
ity; spruce, $21.17 for second quality.
Last sales of Gaspe Long Cedar shingles
were at $6.01; Cedar Laying, $2.05%.
There have been no late sales of Spruce
Laying.”
«The twelve lumber firms on the Saginaw
river engaged in lumber manufacturing
cut 97,000,000 feet last year. Two firms
manufactured white pine exclusively, and
the other firms with a single exception
manufactured mixed lumber. W. D.
Young & Company manufactured hard-
w.ods exclusively, cutting 18,000,000
feet, and having 12,000,000 feet on hand
at the close of the year.
BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
VANCOUVER, February 1, 1904.—Lumber
for export is lower in price as a result of
the dissolution of the Pacific Coast Lumber
Exporters’ Association. The manufac-
turers in Washington have reduced the
price about $3.00 per thousand feet, and
in consequence wages of mill hands have
been lowered. The Victoria Lumber and
Manufacturing Company, of Chemainus,
have reduced the wages of their em-
ployees ten per cent. It is not improb-
able that the manufacturers duing a local
trade will follow the example of the export
mills and reduce operating expenses.
A representative of A. B. Holloway, a
lumber manufacturer of Lacrosse, Wis.,
has been in Vancouver this week looking
over the ground. He was greatly im-
pressed with the possibilities of the lumber
industry and will report favorably to the
eastern capitalists whom he represented.
It is reported that a local contractor is
bringing in a shipment of window and door
sashes from Tacoma, Wash. It is said
the sashes will be laid down here at an
average of 40 cents each cheaper, duty
and freight paid, than the same can be
bought in Vancouver.
During the month of January the appli-
cations for timber lands entered at the
office of R. J. Skinner, Provincial Timber
Inspector, have been greatly in excess of
those made during the corresponding
period of last year. Thirty-one applications
were made during the week ending Jan-
uary 21. Taking into consideration that
each applicant for timber lands pays over
$10 for advertising the same in the Provin-
cial Gazette, and at the expiration of thirty
‘days pays a fee of $140 for a license, (an
increase of $40 over the fee payable last
year), it is not believed by the Government
officials that the applications of the amend-
ments Of the Land Act is working harm to
the logging industry,
Two saw mills for the cutting of cedar
are in course of erection by Americans on
the mainland coast. One is being built by
Garfield & Schaffer on Sechelt Inlet, and
the other by the Gower Point Timber &
Logging Company on Keats Island, Howe
Sound. The latter will have a capacity ot
about 15,000 feet per day. It is reported
that several other small saw mills will be
built in the Howe Sound cedar belts this
spring. The American millmen have
evidently found that they can cut their

cedar in British Columbia, expo:t it to
Puget Sound points, paying duty and
transportation charges, and still havea
larger margin of profit than if they bought
Washington cedar and manufactured it at
home. The duty on rough cedar ¢ntering
the United States is $2 per thou-.and
feet.
Mr. Merrill, a wealthy lumberman of
Wisconsin, is said to have decided to build
a large saw mill in British Columbia. Mr.
Merrill owns 40,000 acres of choice tim-
ber limits in this province which he bought
in 1881 at $1 an acre. They are located
on Valdez Island, Thurlow Island, Deso-
lation Sound, Humphrey’s Channel and
Johnston's Straits. These lands have in-
creased enormously in value, as is shown
by the fact that two months ago Mr.
Merrill was offered $50 an acre for a cer-
tain portion of his holdings.
A dealinvolving the transfer of the
timber lands and the saw-milling interests
of J. C. Keith to a syndicate of Scottish
and English capitalists, in return for an
amount stated to be $300,000, is reported
to be in process of negotiation. Mr.
Ceith is reputed one of the largest individ-
ual holders of British Columbia timber
lands resident in Vancouver. He is also
a large stockholder in the Urquhart Mills,
Lim ted, a corporation owning a mill on
False Creek, the cut of which averages
50,000 feet of lumber per day. His land
holdings in North Vancouver are also ex-
tensive. It is understood that negotia-
tions for the purchase of Mr. Keith’s hold-
ings have been in progress for some time,
and that there is every prospect of them
being carried to a successful conclusion.
One of the most important deals that
has taken place in the last few months was
consummated a few days ago, when the
Provincial Government accepted the ten-
der of McLean Brothers, of Vancouver,
for 27,000 acres of timber lands on
Liie
Klaanch river, Vancouver Island. The
limits are composed of fir and cedar and
are situat din what is known ashe Rupert
District. The lease is for twenty years. It
is probably the largest block of timberin one
place that could have been secured from
the Goverrm nt. Under the terms of the
lease a large mi! will be erected, and it is
the intention of McLean Brothers to man-
ufacture lumber for sa'e in the local mzr-
kets, and probably tor foreign shipment.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
February 17, 1904
CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
Little effort is being made in the direc-
tion of shipping lumber, as the weather and
deep snow has rendered it impossible to
accomplish satisfactory results. There is
considerable lumber awaiting shipment,
and an active spring trade seems to be
assured. The longer the severe weather
continues the greater will be the rush for
stock when the spring opens. Manufac-
turers report many enquiries for the lower
grades and shop lumber in pine, and
prices of these grades are very firm. A
Western Ontario manufacturer recently
sold a million feet of four inch sound com-
mon plank at $19, which is regarded as a
very fair figure. No. 2 common is report-
ed to be a shade easier, although list
quotations Hemlock
prices are holding up, sales of two-inch,
10 to 16 feet in length, being reported at
$12 and $12.50 at the mill.
The now accepted shortage in the pro-
duction of hardwood logs is strengthening
lumber prices. It is not unusual to meet a
manufacturer who is asking from $1 to $2
per thousand more for his lumber than he
received last season. Birch is meeting
with favor, and as the supply of dry stock
is not large, prices are largely in the
hands of the producer. For XXXX pine
shingles $2.60 at the mill is being asked.
Cedar shingles are held at the same figure.
are unchanged.
UNITED STATES.
Conditions are not favorable toa heavy
movement of lumber, the severity of the
weather having stopped nearly all building
work in the Eastern States. The outlook
is good, however, as the yards are lightly
stocked and dealers: have been holding
back orders for some time past. Inthe
comparatively
speaking, considerable activity, and a
report from Tonawanda states that barn
and box boards are being bought up so
closely that there is a possibility of a sub-
stantial advance in prices before the new
cut is ready for the market. Box lumber
sells as quickly as it is offered. The
upper grades of pine are not expected to
advance, as they are now relatively high.
It will be observed, however, that our
Buffalo list this week shows an advance on
uppers. The Southwestern States are
enjoying exceptional prosperity, and it is
expected that this ,will bring about a
hardening in prices of southern pine,
which in turn will influence the northern
product. Altogether, the conditions are
by no means unfavorable: for the pine
trade, and if present anticipations are
realized a good season will be experienced.
Good progress has been made in getting
out hardwood logs and a full production of
lumber this year is likely. The market is
in a position to take an average produc-
tion without causing a break in prices
during the next four months at least, after
which time it is impossible to predict the
course of events with any degree of
lower grades there is,
certainty. Values at the present time are
holding well. Maple is held at $9, $15
and $22 for culls, common and firsts and
seconds, respectively, at the mills. White
ash is in good request, the price for inch
at Buffalo being $40.
GREAT BRITAIN.
In Great Britain buying of lumber is
still being conducted with extreme cau-
tion.
KNIGHT BROTHERS CO,
Burk’s Falls, Ont,
There seems to be cons derable un-
certainty in the minds of many dealers as
to the future course of prices, some con-
tending that if there should be unfavor-
able developments prices would decline
sharply. The ruling high prices are no
doubt restricting the consumption, but the
Canadian stock is being gradually re-
duced and will be ona reasonable basis
when navigation opens in the spring.
First quality pine deals continue to be re-
garded as good property, but only a quiet
demand exists at present for the lower
grades. Spruce prices are less firm than
they were one month ago, probably due
to the quantity of stock sold by auction
and for which unsatisfactory figures have
been obtained. Waney and square pine
are in moderate dimand at unchanged
quotations.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
In the Riding Mountain district of Man-
itoba spruce lumber is selling at $12 per
thousand at the mills.
Tenders are invited up to February 25th
for lumber required by the Road Depart-
ment of Montreal during the present year.
The Scott Lumber Compamy, of Fred-
ericton, N.B., expect to cut 5,000,000 feet
of logs in the vicinity of Black River, Que.,
this year.
The barque Stranger is about to load
lumber at Weymouth, N. S., for Buenos
Ayres, the shippers being G. D. Campbell
& Company.
The St. George Wagon Company, of
St. George, Ont.,recently purchased 150,-
ooo feet of white oak lumber from S. B,
Lawrason and 50,000 feet from S, G. Kit-
chen.
Wright & Davis, of Duluth, Minn., have
bought about 50,000,900 feet of standing
timber along the south side of Pigeon river
for about $4 a thousand feet. It is under-
stood to be a purchase for investment.
The Minnesota Log and Timber Com-
pany, of Duluth, Minn., last week sold to
the R. T. Jones Lumber Company, of
North Tonawanda, N. Y., 5,000,000 feet
of No. 3 and better stock, which is now
being cut.
About 15,000,000 feet of hemlock piece
stuff has been sold by Menominee river
firms for spring delivery to Chicago and
the east. The hardwood cut of the Me-
nominee river mills this season will amount
to 15,000,000 feet, practically all of which
has been sold.
Messrs. Ross & Taylor, of Exeter, Ont.,
have recently placed their order with a
Toronto firm for fifteen carloads of hem-
lock lumber and several carloads of pine
lumber, shingles and lath. They have
also ordered eight carloads from the
Pacific Coast. Building operations in the
Exeter district, they state, promise to be
quite brisk during the coming season.
Under date of January 30th Messrs. Clair-
monte, Man & Company say of the Bar-
badoes market: ‘‘There has been one ar-
rival with white piue during the fortnight,
viz., schooner Agatha with 62,000 feet,
which were sold on private terms for St.
Vincent. Our market is well stocked with
white pine and spruce but prices have been
fairly maintained. Last sale of white pine
for a cargo on the spot was at $25 per
thousand for merchartable, and $20 for
second quality ; spruce, $21.17 for merch-
antable and $17.17 for second quality.
KILN-DRIED BIRGH FLOORING
Last sale of Gaspe Long Cedar shingles
were at $6.01; Cedar Laying, $2.05 to
$2.071%4.”
Millers, fruit exporters, and others con-
tinue to be hampered in their business by
a scarcity of barrels. Since the stormy
weather set in the backwoods stave fac-
tories have been compelled to close by
reason of the difficulty in having timber
brought to them through the deep snow.
Thus scarcely any shipments of staves
have been brought forward this year, and
as a result several] barrel factories in Tor-
onto and elsewhere have not been running
at their full capacity. Manufacturers say
that those makers who usually were able
to keep a surplus stock of 2,000 to 3,000
barrels on hand are now cleaned out. The
prices of barrels are unchanged since the
advance made last fall.
TIMBER BERTHS FOR SALE.
An opportunity to obtain some valuable
timber limits will be afforded on Wednes-
day, April 20th, when Mr. Peter Ryan
will offer for sale by public auction at the
Board of Trade Rooms, Toronto, the
Townships of Kitchener, Roberts, No. 107
and No. 167, each township containing 36
square miles, also Birch Island (Indian)
containing 11 square miles, all inthe Lake
The sale will no doubt
attract a large attendance of lumbermen,
as the result of- the last Government sale
proved that the demand for timber limits
was never more pronounced than at the
present time.

STOCKS OF WHITE PINE.
The Bureau of Grades of the Mississippi
Valley and the Wisconsin Valley Lunber-
men’s Association has compiled a stock
sheet of the pine lumber in the hands of the
manufacturers in the two districts, January
1, 1904, and a comparison with the stock
on hand on similar dates of 1903 and 1902.
As is well known, trade during the latter
part of last year showed a considerable
falling off, both in the Mississippi valley
and the Wisconsin valley, and hence it is
not surprising, says the Mississippi Valley
Lumberman, that on the first of the
current year stocks were somewhat larger
than they were a yearago. The total in-
crease, however, is comparatively small
for the two districts combined, whilethe
Wisconsin valley district shows a decrease
from both the previous years.
In the Mississippi valley the greatest in-
crease over last year is in the stock of
dimensions on hand.
crease over the figures of 1903 of about
55,000,000 feet. Thick finish and shop
lumber show a slight increase over the
figures of the last year and a considerable
increase over tke stock on hand January
In inch lumber there is a con-
This shows an in-

siderable increase in the upper grades,
especially in inch shop D and _ better
boards and strips. The increase Over last
year is more than 50,000,000 feet and the
total on hand January 1 is three times as
great as it was the first of January, 1902.
The stock of other upper grades, including
No. 1, 2 and 3 boards, was larger than for
either of the previous years. In the lower
grades, there is a falling off as compared
with both 1903 and 1902. The totals for
inch lumber show more than 100,000,000
feet excess over 1902 and more than 200,-
000,000 feet over the previous year. The
total of all stock in the Mississippi valley
is about 75,000,000 feet greater than on
the first of January last year, and about
sixty-five million feet greater than on the
first of January, 1902. The stock of
shingles on hand was very much greater
than on the first of either of the previous
years, while the stock of lath shows a
decrease over last year and an increase
Over 1902.
In the Wisconsin valley the stock of
dimension on hand the first of the year was
about 32,000,000. feet greater than on
the first of January last yéar and more
than twice the stock on hand the previous
January. Thick finish and shop lumber

crease over the previous year. The stock
of inch lumber in the Wisconsin valley, in-
cluding everything down to mill run,
shows a decrease from the corresponding
period of last year with the single excep-
tion of C and better norway boards and
Strips and a slight increase in inch shop.
The total of all lumber on hand in the
Wisconsin valley on the first of January
was about 33,000,000 feet less than for the
corresponding period of the year 1903 and
about 46,000,000 feet less than for the
same date of 1902. The stock of shingles
and lath in the Wisconsin valley was con-
siderably larger than on the first of either
of the preceding years. The summary of
the two districts shows an increase of
41,000,000 fet ov er January 1, 1903, ora
little less than 3 per cent. The stock of
lath shows a net decrease of 94,000,000,
while the stock of shingles was 82,000,000
greater than for the same period of the
previous year.
LIVERPOOL TIMBER SUPPLY.

BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
VANCOUVER, February gth, 1904.—Brit-
ish Columbia lumbermen are much inter-
ested in the recent meeting held in
Winnipeg with the object of deciding upon
somg definite plans for the conduct of the
lumber business of the west. The depu-
tation from the province included Mr. M.
Proctor, of the Fernie Lumber Co. ; Mr. P.
Lund, of the Crow’s Nest Pass Lumber
Co., Wardner; Mr. M. B. King, of the
King Mercantile Co., Cranbrook; Mr. J:
A. Dewar, of the Porto Rico Lumber Co.,
Nelson ; Mr. A. Leith, of the East Kocte-
nay Lumber Co., Cranbrook ; Mr. W. F,
Gurd, secretary of the Mountain Associa-
tion, Cranbrook; Mr. D.C. Cameron,
M. P. P., and F. W. Jones, of Golden.
It is hoped to make an agreement with the
Canadian Pacific Railway by which it will
be possible to get lumber into Manitoba
and the Territories at a lower cost with-
or one which may be slightly reduced, or
else we will go out of business so faras that
market is concerned. If we cannot man-
ufacture and sell ata profit, we will close
the mills for a time and leave the timber
standing in the woods. The American
millmen of the State of Washington now
have practical control of the market of the
Northwest and Manitoba. Next to the
Dominion Government, perhaps the Cana-
dian Pacific holds the power of giving us
the greatest assistance. The company
may be asked to increase the freight on
American lumber coming into the country,
This could be done by the railway making
a charge of the full local rate trom the
boundary line to the different points in
Manitoba at which the lumber is sold, and
that would result in a freight rate practi-
cally prohibitive to the American exporters
who have ruined the market.”
By some persons the threat of the C.P.R.
to enter the lumber business is regarded
as more than a bluff. Next to the Govern-
ment the C.P.R. has the largest holdings
of timber in British Columbia. The limits
owned by the company in the interior are
very extensive, and were obtained under
the land grants of the Columbia & West-
ern Crow's Nest line and its own. These
being got for practically nothing, it can
be seen what a strong factor the company
would be in the lumber trade were it to
erect These would no doubt be
built in the interior where the choicest
The policy of the C.P.R. was
recently announced in regard to these
lands, namely, that no sale of timber
would be made until 1912, and any agri-
cultural settler could only have as much of
farm as
mills.
limits lie.
the timber on his leased was
necessary for building and fence purposes.
are already confronted with the question
of timber supply, and have tor some time
been discussing the holdings of the C.P.R.
It would seem unlikely that the Govern-
ment would allow such a strong corpora-
tion as the C.P.R., controlling the only
means of transportation to the North-West
market, to come into direct competition
with such vested interests as exist in the
lumber business. Certainly a big objec-
tion will be raised if any such move is
made.
Several of the prominent lumber dealers
of Manitoba have been in Vancouver for
some days looking into the situation.
They also visited the Sound. Among
them were Mr. James McDiarmid, Mr. E.
Cass and Mr. Creighton, all well known
lumbermen of Winnipeg. Some large
orders were placed with local mills,
among which were the British Columbia
Mills, Timber & Trading Company and
the Hastings Shingle Manufacturing Com-
pany.

The movement of shingles at Buffalo is
somewhat better than might be expected

themselves for an active trade early in the

BRITISH DEMAND AND PRICES.
The following information is given in
the February report of Messrs. Farnworth
& Jardine, London, Eng. :
The arrivals from British North America
during the past month have been 9,411 tons
register, against 5,204 tons register during
the corresponding month last year, and
the aggregate tonnage to this date from
all places during the years 1902, 1993 and
1904 has been 23,969, 21,006 and 23,401
tons respectively. In the business of the
past month we have little change to report,
and the quiet tone prevailing during past
months still continues. The arrivals, with
the exception of spruce deals, have not
been too large, the deliveries have fairly
kept pace, and values are generally well
maintained; stocks as a rule are
ample.

NEW BRUNSWICK AND Nova Scotia
SPRUCE AND PinE Deats.—The arrivals
during the past month, chiefly by the Lin-
ners, have been large, also much in excess
of corresponding period last year, viz.,
6,030 standards, against 3,230 standards in
ing, and stocks, both in Liverpool and Man-
chester, although lighter than same month
Jast season, are adequate. Freights have
ruled exceptionally low, and buyers of
consignment parcels to some extent have
reaped the benefit. Pine Deals.—The
demand continues quiet.
Bircu.—Logs from St. John N.B., have
arrived more freely, but a fair proportion
has found its way into consumption, and
stocks are not too large ; values are steady.
Planks have arrived moderately; there has
been more enquiry, and although stocks
are moderate there is little improvement
in value to report.

WEEKLY EDITION
CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS,
ONTARIO,
Shipping conditions have not improved
materially during the past week. Manu-
facturers and dealers have heen unable to
get shipments through to their customers,
and as a consequence business in lumber
s uiet. Consumers are withholding
orders until there is a prospect of obtain-
ing their requirements within a reasonable
time.

and unless this stock is moved before
Many of the white pine yards are
spring, which now seems improbable, it
will interfere with the piling of the new
cut, There isa very fair consumption of
lumber by factories, whose stocks are run-
ning low, and there is bound tobe an ac-
tive demand in the spring. Much will de-
pend upon the building trade, but present
indications are that the volume of building
throughout the province during the com-
ing season will be fully as great as last
year. The heavy demand for box and the
common grades of pine will probably con-
tinue, with prices very firm.
It is definitely stated that
Georgian Bay manufacturers have placed

a considerab!'e proportion cf their output
for the coming season, prices in most
cases being almost as good as those real-
ized oneyear ago. There is now a dis-
position in Some quarters to ask an ad-
vance, as itis claimed that the cost of get-
ting out logs has been from $1 to $2 per
thousand feet greater than in the winter
of 1902-3.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The outlook for spruce lumber is not as
roseate as it might be. Shippers have
received word from their representatives
in Great Britain that business there is
backward and that the disposition of
buyers is to oppose the high prices that
are being asked for spruce deals. There
is little likelihood, however, of shippers
making more than very slight concessions,
as in most instances they are paying the
mill men an advance over last year’s
figures. The United States shipments are
very quiet owing tothe difficulty of making
delivery by rail. Under the present con-
ditions dealers are not trying to push
business. Cedar shingles have shown a
little strength. Most sales are being
madeon the basis of $3.40 for extras,
Boston delivery. Laths have sold recent-
ly at $3.30 for 1 5/8 inch spruce, which is
ten cents less than the price Jast month.
UNITED STATES.
Lumbermen are patiently waiting for
milder weather and the improvement in
trade which is sure to come with it. The
movement at the present time is light, but
stocks are in such shape that prices have
not been adversely affected. The know-
ledge that stocks of white pine at the
head of the lakes have been well sold out
and that this season’s cut will be less than
last year has a tendency to hold the mar-
ket firm. Some of the larger dealers
have contracted for a considerable supply
to be cut during the coming season, the
price being slightly less than one year
ago. The smaller dealers are holding
off and will place orders only when their
customers begin to call tor stock, From
Michigan eastward the supply of the box
grades of white pine is nearly exhausted
and box manufacturers find it necessary

to adopt substitutes for white pine.
Chicago dealers report an increase in the
number of inquiries, which is regarded as
indicative of a brisk spring trade. There
is a plentiful supply of Norway dimension,
which is not much called for at the pres-
ent time.

willing to increase their supply of lumber

is said that a large proportion of the
coming season's cut is already disposed
of at fair prices.
GREAT BRITAIN.
So far as we can gather the timber
trade of Great Britain is still marking time.
If importers are willing to close contracts
on the basis of existing prices, there has
been no evidence of such willingness in
the business of the past fortnight. Agents
of Quebec shippers are now canvassing
the trade, andit is reported that it has
been most difficult to book orders at satis-
factory prices. The present indications
are that the volume of business this year
will show a decrease as compared with
last year, as there does not appear to be
much probability of an increase in the
consuption of lumber. The high prices
are lessening the demand for pine and the
business in Lancashire is still suffering
from the partial paralysis of the cotton
industry. At the present time the buyers
seem to be in the stronger position and un-
less something very favorable to the mar-
ket should develop a slight decline in the
price ot lumber for spring delivery is not
unlikely. A considerable quantity of spruce
deals has arrived at London and Liver-
pool from St. John and Halifax, which
has more than supplied the immediate
wants of the market. The stocks in the
yards at these ports, as well as at Man-
chester, are larger than might be desired
for the good of the trade. Notwithstand-
ing that higher prices have been paid in
some instances for pine and spruce, it is
said that offerings are being made to
supply spruce at five shillings per standard
below the figures paid last year. The
colleries are buying some timber, and a
Tyne ship-building firm is in the market
for square pine, rock elm and Quebec oak.

A correspondent at Menominee, Mich.,
states that good lumber is off at present
from $2 to $10 per thousand feet as com-
pared with prices last spring. Some which
sold last year at $60 brings no more than
$50 this year. Common lumber, which
sold for about $19 last vear, is off $2 this
season. Hemlock sel's for about $11, as
last season, but hardwoods are bringing
from $3 to $5 more than last year.
The American Lumberman says that
there is a bad shortage of elm staves,
which promises to continue for a consider-
able time, as all elm lumber is very firm
in price. Predictions are made that the
price of hoops will advance before long,
especially as they are considerably lower
is noted that Min-
neapolis is quoting slack staves as high as
Buffalo, viz., $13.50 for first-class elm.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CanapA LUMBERMAN)
One question is being asked in Ottawa
lumber elrcles these days and it is ‘* what
will the log cut be?”
accepted fact that there will bea reductior
as compared with lastyear, but the extent of
that reduction will depend on the weather
It is a generally
with which the closing weeks of winter will
be filled. Careful inquiry amongst the firms
and their agents go to show that the deep
snow was not the general impediment it
was thought to be early in the winter. In
the Temiscamingue, Kippewa, Coulonge,
Deep River and Black River districts there
Was no very excessive snow fall, but trou-
ble was experienced from the fact that the
ground was not frozen and the snow was
light, making road building a difficult task.
In the Madawaska, Dumoine, Gatineau
and Lievere countries the snow was deep-
er than in the others named, and gave
more trouble. Log cutting was suspended
earlier than in past seasons, but there is a
probability that it may be resumed again.
From all accounts the scarcity of labor
early in the season and the tendency of
the men to “jump” their jobs later on
will have more to do with the shortage in
the log cut than the adverse natural con-
ditions.
In Hull last week interesting sessions of
the Quebec Colonization Committee were
held. This committee was appointed by
order of the Quebec Government to en-
quire into the relations between the lumber
operators and the settlers. Evidence was
given by J. R. Booth, E. B. Eddy, George
H. Perley, H. K. Egan and others ; the
gist of the evidence was that seitlers ir
timbered districts are a source of danger
and that land is frequently taken up simply
for the illegal cutting of the timber that

probable that the commission will recom-

matured trees.
On account of the continued severity of
the weather and the steady accumulation of
ice at the Chaudiere,it has been found im-
possible to run J. R. Booth’s mill during
the past month by reason of lack of power.
A scheme is now under way to merge ali
interests at the Chaudiere and take con-
certed action towards the improvement
of conditions.
‘‘Nothing doing” is the word in manu-
factured lumber circles these days. Deal-
ers are busy with office work and are look-
ing forward to a busy spring.
OTTAWA, February 19, 1904.
THE LONDON MARKET.
The London timber market is thus re-
ported by Messrs. Churchill & Sim :
Selling in the London market has been
onalarge scale during January, but in
spite of this the deliveries from the docks
are some 2,600 standards less than they
1903,
way compensated for by an overside de-
livery of goo standards more than in the
were in January, and this is in no
corresponding month last year. Prices
have fallen steadily but very gradually,
for in the absence of buying ahead there
is nothing to undermine the position of the
market or to prevent the gradual liquida-
stocks held here at
approximately the present range of values.
The free buying of certain classes of stock
for shipment from abroad at next open
tion of the heavy
water, which was a feature of the closing
months of 1903, was not resumed after
the Christmas holidays, and January has
been the quietest month for free on board
buying that has beén known for many
years past. Neither for this country nor
for the Continent, nor for the Cape market
has much selling been possible, although
shippers are willing to take much more
moderate prices than they have recently
been holding for. The stocks held in the
chiefimporting centres are sufficient for a
reducing demand,so that buyers can wait,
and apparently will wait, to get a clear
view of future prospects, especially per-
haps with regard to the effect on the
money market of the war between Russia

and Japan. The business usually effected
in January and February will this year be
more easily effected in April and May, and
the more shippers realise and acquiesce
in this the better.
There is again no change to report in
the pine dea! market in London. It is
held steady by the small supplies, and by
the prospect of still another augmentation
of the cost of the new season’s ship-
ments. The demand continues small, and
special, and deals have to be of very full
quantity to command the current quota-
tions. Spruce deals have fallen again in Lon-
don during January in common with all
whitewood. If left to themselves they should
rally quickly, as the prices for further
shipments seem likely to be higher rather
than lower, supported by the American
demand. In this country, however, spruce
comes into competition with so much other
whitewood and inferior redwood that it is
not entirely ruled by shipping prices. For
birch, elm, ash and white pine timber
there has been but a poor demand in Jan-
uary. Oak has perhaps held its own in a
small way.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
February 24, 1904
PINE SIDINGS AND BOARDS.
With Canadian pine deals up to their
present value, it is surprising, says a write
in the Timber News, that London import-
ers and those using the port of London as
the most convenient and central for re-
ceiving and handling bills of lading of Can_
adian goods, have not taken the cue from
West Coast and Midland buyers, and turn-
ed their attention to white pine sidings and
boards. Cut
pine logs from
deal is produced, ard further therefore
from the sides of the
which the regular 3 in.
away from the heart, they should com-
mend themselves for several reasons to
pine buyers.
It is true that away from the heart the
nearer the sap, but as pine is distinctly a
cabinet or ‘‘Interior’’ wood, this disad-
vantage is not so serious, providing the
goods are shipped under good conditions
and come to hand bright and light.
On the first point of cost, many pounds
per standard divide the best pine deal from
the best pine siding and best stock board
in favor of the lastnamed. In lengths
they all run the same, so that the question
of thickness alone seems to explain the
very small sales to this market.
Habit isa bad master to overcome, but
it is not conceivable that any or very few
pine deals are ever worked up in an un-
reduced form. A great deal can be got
out of a good pine plank with judgment,
and there is opportunity for making the
best of the best side, and the best of the
worst side; still, when we consider the
very important percentage of deals re-
duced to siding and board thicknesses, it
is surprising that those thicknesses are
not acceptable when imported.
In looking through a catalogue of stock
lying in Liverpool we find among Quebec
pine sidings lines of ‘‘clears’’ 2 by 16 up
to very wide, and 1% by ig and up. In
best sidings, which are more in evidence,
we find 2in., 13{in., 1%in., and tin. by
8 and up to wide, called O quality. Un-
der this come in order A quality, B qual-
ity, and C quality, A quality holding 65
per cent. firsts against 35 per cent. se-
conds, and B quality 60 to 65 per cent.
seconds to 35-40 per cent. thirds, C qual-
ity averaging good thirds.
In pine boards we notice fine lines of
first, seconds, and thirds, 2 by 12 and 11,
1% by 12and 11,1 by 12 and 11, also 10
in, gin., ancl 8in. widths.
In all these we find lines of useful shorts
g to 11 ft., and ends 6to 8 ft. at, of course,
corresponding prices.
Perhaps these goods may not appeal to
the yard keeper, with his pits and racks
for 12 to 16 fi. deals, selling by the foot
or plank, in the old-fashioned manner, but
surely now is the time for the contractor
and the cabinetmaker ina large way to
inquire into the question of sidings versus
deals.

Brands, all Choice Stock.
We own and operate several mills in Washington and British
Columbia, being on both sides of the ‘‘ Imaginary Line” known
as the International Line, and it keeps our opponents in the trade
guessing how to meet us on account of the good quality of our
manufactured stock, which has been so carefully planned that
even the selection of our timber lands in years past has something
to do with the present.
We find our competing salesmen’s story to the customers has
now got to be a ‘‘song pure and simple,’ which they have
learned from
follows :
necessity to
sing loudly and lustily, and is as
* JUST AS GOOD AS HASTINGS,” “JUST
AS GOOD AS HASTINGS.”
While we appreciate their holding our goods as models of per-
fection, which the high standard certainly merits, still looking at
the matter from the customer's and the consumer’s standpoint
we cannot see any advantage to you in buying an imitation when
the real article can be had through our representatives, viz :—

ment of hardwoods is light, but it is ex-

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The extraordinary inclemency of the
weather has made it almost impossible to
move lumber and has reduced building
operations almost to the minimum. Prices
of spruce lumber are not as firm as at last
report. Offers received from Boston show
a decline of about one dollar per thousand
feet. British trade is also quiet and some-
what depressed. So far this season there
has been very little done on contract with
Great Britain. A few French cargoes
have been sold but at prices not as satis-
factory to the seller as those obtained last
year. Notwithstanding these facts, pro-
ducers of spruce are holding their output
very firmly, and if the log production
should be lighter than is now anticipated,
there may be some improvement in prices
later in the season.
A reliable authority estimates the out-
put of logs in the Miramichi district of
New Brunswick this vear to be about the
It is claimed by
some operators that it will be at least 10
per cent. short of last year’s output, but as
the stock of sawn and round timber
wintering on the Miramichi is 50 per cent.,
or at least 15,000,000 superficial feet»
greater than that of the previous winter,
this increase is likely to counteract any
shortage in the log production.
The Jate snow storms with the cold
weather has made the hauling of logs
more difficult than usual. The increase of
wages this year will amount to 20 per
cent., which must be added toa similar
increase in the years 1902 and 1903. It is
thus plainly evident that the stock of logs

taken out this winter will cost considerably
more than ever before.
UNITED STATES.

vailed over much of the United States
and the pine business has been seriously
hampered thereby. The prevailing dull-
ness has resulted in a slight weakening of

prices, a few timid persons having offered
stock at lower quotations and thus es-
tablished a precedent for others to follow.
The Southern Lumber Manufacturers’
Association, at a meeting on February
23rd, adopted a new price list which more
nearly corresponds to current selling

remain unchanged.
grade lumber is sought after to some ex-
tent and is firm in price,the higher grades
ceing in less demand and slightly weaker.
Box grades are almost out of the market,
having been bought up by both dealers
and box factories. The heavy call for the
grades from manufacturers has
taken all the scoots offered, they having
been sold in North Tonawanda as high as
$13 during the past week. Eastern
dealers say that they are doing much less
business than at the corresponding time
last year, this being attributed solely to
weather conditions. Two important pur-
chases of white pipe are reported from
Duluth, White, Rider & Frost, of North
Tonawanda, having last week bought
7,000,000 feet of log run, and Pendennis
White about 12,000,000 feet of similar
stock. Reports from the white pine log-
lower
' ging districts state that the input from
Ashland eastward is likly to be less than
was expected, but in the Duluth and
upper Mississippi river districts the intend-
ed amount will probably be secured, though
that amount will be about 25 per cent.
less than last winter.
Hardwoods have shown more strength
than pine. No weakness is apparent any-
where, but on the other hand the outlook
has improved. The lower grades are
very scarce and will be almost unobtain-
able before the new cut is ready for the
market. White ash, elm and oak con-
tinue to lead in point of activity, but aly
kinds are meeting with a very satisfactory
inquiry considering the conditions. Maple
is perhaps in greater supply than any
other hardwood, and there is some de-
moralization in the maple flooring trade.
GREAT BRITAIN.
British buyers of lumber are still pur-
suing a very cautious policy in respect to
new business. Usually a large proportion
of the season’s requirements has been con-
tracted for by the end of February, but
this year very little stock has been ar-
ranged for and there does not seem to be
much disposition to place contracts even
now. The trade of the country is mod-
erately good, although as in Canada un-
favorable weather has rendered building
operations difficult and the comparative
tightness of money and the caution of in-
vestors combine to make the arrangement
of finance a task by no means easy for the
speculative contractor. There has been
a heavy decline in the deliveries of lumber
from the London docks. Taking the first
seven weeks of this year the falling off is
8,000,000 feet. The volume of business in
the near future will depend upon whether
either shippers or importers are willing to
make any concessions. It is argued that
the prices asked by shippers are too high
to encourage buying, but on the other
hand the cost of production has been so
great that asking prices cannot be ma-
terially re.uced without, wiping out the
mzrin of profit.
KILN-DRIED BIRGH FLOORING
Some business in pine deals has been
done, chiefly for the better qualities, the
lower grades being difficult to place.
Contracts have also been made for a few
cargoes of New Brunswick spruce on the
basis of £6 5s. to £6 7s. 6d. per standard.
The most favorable report comes from
Cardiff, where it is said spruce deals are
going rapidly into consumption, the stock
held at that port being exceedingly light.
At the last auction sale at London spruce
deals and battens were weaker, 3x9 second
quality bringing £10 10s. and £10 per
standard; third quality 3x9, £9 108; 3X7
second quality battens, £7 15s, and third
quality £7 5s.
——
STOCKS AND PRICES.
Ritchie Bros., of Aylmer, Que., are re-
ported to have purchased 340 square
miles of timber limits near Mattawa,
Ont.
D. R. Fraser & Company are asking for
tenders for the raftingof about 2,000,000 ft.
of logs from the bank of the river up about
59 miles to the mills at Edmonton,
N.W.T.
The Rathbun Company’s four camps in
Haliburton County closed down last week
owing to the excessive depth of snow and
cold weather, which greatly regarded the
work of cutting and hauling the logs. Two
of the camps were located in Gooderham
vicinity and two north of Wilberforce. As
a result of the suspension of operations
nearly a month earlier than usual, the cut
will be much smaller than last year.
We quote as follows from the market
report of Messrs. Clairmonte, Man & Co.,
. of Barbadoes : ‘‘There has been no arrival
with lumber during the fortnight. Our
market is well stocked with white pine and
spruce, but prices have been fairly main-
tained. The last sale of white pine for a
cargo on the spot was at $25 per thousand
for merchantable and $20 for second qual-
ity; spruce, $21.17 for merchantable and
$17.17 for second quality. Last sales of
Gaspe Long Cedar shingles were at $6.01;
Cedar Laying, $2.05 to $2.07.”
Concerning white cedar products at
Buffalo the American Lumberman Says:
There is a good demand for all cuts of
white cedar, unless it be for shingles,
which are rather undersold by Pacific
coast products. The supply is not large.
Sales of shingles at low prices are noted,
but a jobber gives the following figures:
Extra *A*, $2.90; *A*, $2.65; cedar butts,
$2.30; sound butts, $1.40; culls, $1.10.
Ties, 55 cents for No. 1, 32 to 33 cents for
No. 2; posts, 8-foot, 15 cents for 3 to 4%-
inch tops; 18 cents for 4% to 6-inch tops;
zo cents for 6-inch; 22 cents for 7-inch.
Ten-foot lengths, 20 cents for 3-inch tops;
22 cents for 4-inch; 25 cents for 5-inch; 30
cents for 6-inch. Twelve-foot lengths, 35
cents for 5-inch tops; 38 cents for 6-inch.
It now looks as though the stock of cedar
will be pretty well sold out by the open-
ing of the lakes.

CANADIAN FORESTRY ASSOCIATION
CONVENTION.
The fifth annual meeting of the Cana-
dian Forestry Association will be held in
Toronto on the 1oth and 11th of March
next, commencing at 10 a.m. The fol-
lowing papers have been promised :
“Systems of Administration of Timber
Lands in Canada,” by Aubrey White,
Assistant Commissioner of Crown Lands,
Toronto, Ont.; ‘‘ Forest Management,” by
John Bertram, Toronto; ‘The Lauren-
tides National Park,” by W. C. J. Hall,
Department of Lands, Forests and Fisher.
ies, Quebec, P.Q.; “ Forestry in Relation
to Irrigation,” by J. S. Dennis, Superin-
tendent of Irrigation of the Canadian Paci-
fic Railway Company, Calgary, Alberta ;
**Forest Reproduction in Germany,” by
Dr. A. Harold Unwin (graduate of the
Royal Saxonian Forest Academy, Thar-
andt, Germany), of the Dominion Forestry
Branch, Ottawa; ‘‘Our Native Forest
Trees and Their Use in Ornamental
Planting,” by F. G. Todd, Landscape
Architect, Montreal; ‘‘ Farm Forestry,” by
Professor Hutt, of the Agricultural Col-
lege, Guelph. There will also be an ad-
dress on ‘‘ Forestry Education ” by Presi-
dent Léudon, of Toronto University. A
banquet will be held at the King Edward
Hotel on Thursday evening, at which
speeches will be delivered by prominent
public men.
The programme for the meeting is suffi-
ciently attractive to warrant the attend-
ance of all persons interested in the sub-
ject of forestry, and it is expected that
there will be a full discussion of the many
valuable papers to be presented. Any
lumberman who can make it convenient to
be present will no doubt find the proceed-
ings very interesting and instructive.
The business sessions will be held in
the Parliament Buildings, Queen’s Park.

BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
(Correspondence ofjthe CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
VANCOUVER, B.C., February 24th, 1904.
—British Columbia conditions are little
changed from last report. Logging is
slightly more active, but in some localities
is still conducted with difficulty owing to
the heavy snow-falls. On the other hand,
the snow has facilitated operations in East
Kootenay and along the Kootenay River
south of the lake, where many logs were
left in the woods awaiting good sleighing.
The Bonner’s Ferry Lumber Company
will have a total of 12,000,000 feet avail-
able for their millat Bonner’s Ferry. Mc-
Arthur Bros., of Detroit, have located a
camp at Curley Creek, East Kootenay,
where they will take out 1,600,000 feet of
square timber for shipment to Liverpool,
England. It will be loaded at Katka or
Bonner’'s Ferry. All the camps along the
Crow’s Nest line of railway are working
full forces of men, and at many of the
mills operations are kept up with double
shifts. Places where a year ago there
was nothing but unbroken forests are now
busy centers of activity, with stores, ho-
tels and dwellings. This is especially the
case near Cranbrook, many large camps
having been established in all directions
from the town.
Two splendid saw-mills will soon be in
operation at Arrowhead, the owners being
the Arrowhead Lumber Company and the
Big Bend Lumber Company. It is esti-
mated that there are 10,240,000,e00 feet
of lumber tributary to the Big Bend,almost
all of which will be floated down the Col-
umbia river to Revelstoke and Arrow
Lake. Of course, it must be remembered
that some of the timber lands in British
Columbia contain as much as 50,000 feet
to the acre.
The Empire Lumber Company, Limited,
has been formed to take over the business
of the Harbor Lumber Company, which
recently bought out the Fred Robinson
Lumber Company at Revelstoke, B. C.
The Company is capitalized at $3,000,000
and will operate some of the Adams
Lake timber limits.
The Okanagan Lumber Company is
putting in a plant capable of turning out
60,000 feet per day. It has an unlimited
supply of logs on the Spallumcheen river,
and in the Mabel lake country, and is be-
coming one of the large enterprises of the
province. The mill is located at Enderby.
A. S. Farquharson and H. A. McGuire,
who are engaged in the saw mill business
at Frank, Alberta, have secured large
timber limits on Boundary Creek, East
Kootenay, where they will build a saw
mill with a capacity of 35,000 feet per
day.
W. H. Remington and J. G. Bullen,
who have lumber interests on Prince of
Wales Is!and up the coast, returned from
Japan recently, whither they went to in-
vestigate the timber industry.
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
Il
oe oe
A correspondent of the West Coast and
Puget Sound Lumberman makes the fol-
lowing interesting calculations: A com-
parison of the figures paid in Winnipeg for
British Columbia timber and that imported
from the mills in Washington State to
Manitoba and the Northwest reveals a
striking difference between the cost of the
American and Canadian products. In all
the leading items the lumber imported is
laid down ata much less cost than that
which comes from British Columbia, and
1 duty in some cases of over $5 per
thousand feet was paid. In fir dimensions
and boards which come in free of duty, the
American mills ship in this product at $3
per thousand feet cheaper than that charg-
ed by the Canadian lumbermen. A differ-
ence really of $6.87 exists between the
cost of American and Canadian No. 1 and
2 edge grain for flooring. While the
foreign product is actually only $1.50 per
thousand cheaper than that from British
Columbia, the Americans have a duty of
$5.37 to meet on every 1,000 feet of this
particular kind of lumber. Andi so it is
with the other leading items. In regard
to freighc rates the Washington mills and
the British Columbia mills have practically
the same rates to meet in placing lumber
in Winnipeg. The average freight per
thousand on lumber is $9.48, which to
Winnipeg gives the C.P.R. 64-100 ofa
cent per thousand per mile in haulage.
The average rate per ton per mile to
Winnipeg is 54-100 ofa cent. The Wash-
ington mills in shipping to Winnipeg have
the same rate as the British Columbia
mills over the Northern Pacific and Cana-
dian Northern railways. When the Ameri-
can mills, however, ship to any point on
the C.P.R. other than Winnipeg, they
have to pay the local freight from the
mills to the junction of the C.P.R. at
Sumas.

NEW BRUMSWICK LETTER.
(Correspondance of the CANaDA LUMBERMAN.)
At present writing the Lumber trade in
this vicinity is very dull. Little shipping
is being done to Great Britian and, owing
to the inclemency of the weather during
the last two months, shipping to American
ports is practically at a standstill.
There seems to be a feeling of uncer-
tainty in regard to the English market for
deals during the coming season. Just now
it is almost impossible to make any con-
jecture, with a probability of ultimately
being borne out, as to what will develop
in regard to demand and prices. Buyers
do not seem anxious to make ccntracts at
Keenan Bros., Limited
Owen Sound, Ont,
HARDWOOD, EMLOGK AND PINE LUMBER
We carry a full supply of native Hardwoods always on hand and solicit your inquiries.
At the present time we have piled at outside points about 2,000,000 feet of Hard-
woods, and about the same quantity of Hardwood, Hemlock and Pine piled here in
Owen Sound, and we should be able to interest you if in the market.
WILL MAKE SPECIAL PRICES ON
BROKEN LOTS AT OUTSIDE POINTS
the high prices which characterized last
year’s purchases.
Compared with this particular season of
other years the stocks of English deals at
this port are small; from 8 to 10 millions
at the outside constituting the whole.
Owing to the general hang up or logs
in the upper St. John districts in the spring
of 1903, the mills in this vicinity and in
most of the up river sections will be com-
pelled to wait until the spring freshet has
brought out the logs now stranded in the
river (mostly above Grand Falls, a few
million below) before they can begin to
saw, as the stocks of logs of the local
manufacturers(with one exception) are too
small to warrant starting the mills. It will
therefore mean the 15th or 20th of May
before the first of the logs reach here and
not before mid-June will there be any
large amount of deals of 1904 manufacture
ready for shipment.
Reports from the Miramichi and Resti-
gouche districts indicate larger cuts of
logs, both cedar and spruce, than usual.
The cut for the entire province, however,
is estimated to be not above the average,
for although an effort has been made on
the part of some operators to bring out
more than usual, yet there has beena
scarcity of men, and in addition to this
the continually increasing distance over
which logs have to be hauled makes it
more and more difficult to get the work
done.
In spite of the unusually heavy fall of
snow and intense cold of the winter in
some parts of the province, there is really
no more snow in the woods than there
was at this time last year,and prospects for
a good season’s driving are not any better
or worse than in other seasons. If spring
comes rapidly, successful driving may be
looked for, as the lumbermen are now al-
most ready for it and will be quite prepar-
ed when the time comes. The browing of
logs is not yet completed, but another ten
days will see this work finished in most
places.

Messrs. Sutherland, Innes & Company,
of Chatham, Ont., report as follows :
is, that there are no stocks oa hand, and
it will take a long time to satisfy the
demand.
“ At some of our mills we are getting in
fairly good stocks, but at the bulk of them
our stocks are light, very much lighter,
indeed, than we had anticipated. It looks
at present as if the supply would not be
over 25 per cent. over that of last year,
and we must take into consideration that
at the beginning of last year there was a
lot of stock carried over, while this year
‘“‘With regard to prices, the prices of
timber are very high; in fact, they are

be before. It is a little doubtful yet if we

ever, on the demand,
are not in line for the future, with the cost there is none.
“The outlook for business, we think, is
much brighter than it was a year ago,
and certainly much better than six months
ago, as the output certainly will be 25 per
cent. higher than that of last year, and
the demand should certainly be equal to
last year’s, as there are no stocks at all
in the consumers’ hauds and practically no
stocks of manufactured material at any of
of production. Consumers seem to have
the idea that as soon as the new stock
comes in the bottom is going to drop out
of the market, but as the cut is going to
be so much lighter than was expected, we
believe prices are going to keep somewhere
near where they are at present.
‘“« There is another thing consumers will
have to take into consideration, and that
the mills, so that material of all kinds
should bring good prices this year.”
ELM BOXES WANTED.
The Department of Trade and Com-
merce, Ottawa, is in receipt of the fol-
lowing communication from a large firm in
Swansea, England. The name and address
of the firm may be obtained from the pub-
lishers of the CANADA LUMBERMAN :
We are engaged in the tin plate trade
here and buy good quantities of elm boxes
for packing tin plates and block plates for
export.
It has occurred to us that elm boards in
the standard sizes might be imported from
Canada, ready cut (to be nailed together
on this side), at a figure which would
admit of a large business being done.
The total output of the Welsh tin plate
works is about 12,000,000 boxes per
annum, and of this quantity a fair propor-
tion would consist of standard sizes.
May we ask if you would be good
enough to help us by placing our inquiry
before “Canadian firms likely to be ina
position to quote us.
We beg to submit on the other side a
specification for elm boards cut to size
(ready to be nailed together on this side) :—

There is not much snap to the demand,
however, while offerings are fairly large.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
During the months of January and
Februiry the Building Inspector of Winni-
peg issued permits for buildings valued at
$145.300, as aya'ns! $42,150 for the cor-
responding two months of last year.
There is every indication thit building
operations in Winnipeg this year will be
in excess of 1903, when over $5,000,000
was spent. There promises .to be con-
siderable activity also in the smaller
municipalities in Manitoba and the Terri-
tories, and a brisk demand for lumber is
anticipated in the spring. Dealers bave
as yet bought very sparingly, as the ne-
gotiations looking to a reduction in the
price of lumber has caused them to with-
hold all orders. The lumber trade of
British Columbia is rather unsettled. The
sawing capacity isnow so great that if
the outlook should appear at all promising
there would likely be a very large pro-
duction. This fact is being recognized
by the older manufacturers, who are pur-
suing a conservative course and will
likely curtail their production.
UNITED STATES.
The lumber business of the United
States is rather spotty ; some sections re-
port nothing doing, others that the de-
mand has improved perceptibly. Through-
out the Southwestern States spring con-
ditions have prevailed and there has been
a revival of the demand for lumber. In
the northern pine territory the season has
been backward and the movement of
lumber so far this spring very light. Some
improvement in the demand is reported,
and it would only require a week or two
of favorable weather to start building
operations and induce a pronounced re-
Dealers at Buffalo
and Tonawanda have a fair stock of lum-
ber on hand, and it is only fair to say
that there is aot exhibited as much eager-
ness to make contracts as was noted a
year ago. Eastern spruce is in an excep-
tionally strong position. Stocks are
scarce and the demand is more than
equal to the absorption of the ready
supply. Frames are quoted in Boston at
$19 to $21 a thousand.
During the past fortnight there has
been an advance in hemlock in New
York ; 2x4 in 18 and 20 foot has been ad-
vanced 50 cents, making the price on this
item now $2 above the $17 base,as against
$1.50 the year before. Hardwood stock
for future delivery is in good inquiry.

vival in the demand.
GREAT BRITAIN.
Reports from Great Britain regarding
the condition of the lumber trade area
little more encouraging in character. The
consumption is behind that of last year
and agents of shippers have not been
KILN-DRIED BIRGH FLOORING
altogether successful in closing contracts,
yet the feeling as to the future is more
hopeful. The weather is now more favor-
able for building operations and this is ex-
pected to help the situation materially.
Much has been made of the fact that the
quantity of Canadian lumber contracted
for has been smaller than one year ago,
but upon close investigation it has been
found that considerable business has been
booked in the better qualities of pine and
spruce and that prices in most instances
have been slightly better than those
obtained for the 1903 production. Third
and fourth quality pine has been difficult
to place, but the better grades are still
regarded favorably even at the high prices
which are now asked. In spruce some busi-
ness has also been done, the highest price
realized, so far as can be learned, being
£9 per standard of 1980 feet c i.f. for good
thirds from Quebec.
In the ‘tspot’’ market there has been a
distinct improvement. At the last auction
sale held by Messrs. Churchill & Sim in
London 3x11 first quility pine, 14 to 16
feet, brought £32 1os per standard. First
guality red pine brought £16 10s. For
third quality spruce £9 5s. was realized.
A report from London states that agents
are gradually clearing out their second
quality 3xg in. spruce deals at £10 10s,
thirds at £9 15s, and fourths at 48 153s,
whilst the importers have been busy
selling their stocks at prices slightly in
advance of the foregoing figures.

of 13,896,000 feet on the record of 1g02.
lumber operations
The feature of the hardwood trade in
general, says the American Lumberman,
is the light supply of dry stocks and of
common and culls of all woods. The con-
sumption bas been large, and as they have
been used to a greater extent owing to the
high prices for the better grades they have
been used up closer than ever. This has
never happened before and is a situation
that makes the largest users stop and
think as to what they will do for further
supplies. The greatest scarcity is notice-
able in plain oak of all kinds, and the frm-
ness with which it is held. Buyers who
have been after dry stock of all woods
find it difficult to get in suitable lots. This
applies to all woods and makes holders
firm in their views of prices.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence“of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
As has been hinted from time to time in
these columns, the present year is not
likely to!witness any decline in the price of
manufactured white pine sent out of
the Ottawa district mills. An authority
on tke’subject said to-day that very little
white pine of the 1904 mill cut still re-
mained in first hands. Practically all of it
is in second hands and at a ten per cent.
advance at that, Nor is the advance in
the market confined to pine. Spruce, an-
other fair factor in Ottawa district lumber
circles, has also advanced so far as the
1904 cut is concerned.
The first mill man to announce the ten
per cent. advance was Mr. J. R. Booth,
“the king of them ali.”” What J. R.
Booth says generally goes in lumber
circles in Eastern Canada, and consequent-
ly other mill owners followed suit, so that
practically all the 1904 cut was sold at the
advance. The reasons given for the
advance are the increased cost of labor
and provisions for the present season.
“Yes, there’s been an advance,” said a
bayer, ‘“‘but I cannot see how the second
Certainly the

man can realize on it.
demand for Canadian
present does not warrant such an ad-
vance.”
It is generally agreed that when the
advance was decided upon, the mill men
had in mind the fact that there would bea
shortage in the log cut and hence less
manufactured lumber later on to supply
the market.
Despite the shortage in the present
season's log cut, it is thought that the
saws will have about all they can do next
summer. Inthe first place there was a
good run of logs last year, and many are
still in the booms, which will be availabie
when the mills start in on the season’s
cutting. Then again, all the present
season's cut will be driven if the snow and
water does not move off too rapidly, and
this will mean a good supply for the sum-
mer sawing proper.
The firms anticipating an early break-
up paid attention to the movement of the
logs and have, despite the handicap of
deep snow, placed them nearly all on the
stream sides. Where the depth of snow
is no interterence, some of the firms have
resumed log cutting operations near the
streams and this will mean an additional
supply. Again, in Quebec province, many
logs were “hung up” last year which will,
from present indications, be gotten down
to the mills this spring. All this will go
to give the saws a good supply and to
insure a normal cut of lumber.
It is recognized that in the matter of
log shortage, the Ottawa district is better
off than is the Georgian Bay country,
where the deep snow and lack of labor
were more general impediments.
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION

The square timber men are pretty con-
fident that they will get all their bulky
sticks cut this spring, but even at that the
showing will not be as good as was that
of last year as far as the Ottawa oper-
ators are concerned. Asa matter of fact,
square timber is already moving by rail.
The Canada Atlantic is hauling some of
the finest square timber cut in the Ottawa
country off Mr. J. R. Booth’s Madawaska
limits. The timber is being unloaded into
the St. Lawrence at Clark’sIsland. There
it will be made into a raft and floated
down to Quebec city for export when
navigation opens.
In the retail end of the business there is
little doing, snow blockades continuing to
give trouble in the handling ot lumber in
the yards and on the railways. As has
already been intimated, good business is
expected with the opening of spring. It
is believed the resumption of building
operations on an extensive scale in New
York and district, will create a big demand
for Canadian white pine. Moreover, the
Baltimore fire will also indirectly benefit
the Ottawa lumber business. There will
be a big demand in the fire-swept city
for southern woods, and this will mean a
falling off in their shipments to the New
York market. Shortage in Georgia
pine and southern cypress in the New
York and other northern markets will mean
an increased demand for Canadian white
pine.
An important deal in the 1904 cut of
spruce has just been closed. Mr. W. H.
McAuliffe, of Ottawa, has contracted for
the summer's cut of spruce at McLachlan
Bros.’ mill, Arnprior, and the St. Anthony
Lumber Company’s mill at Whitney. The

DEMAND FOR RAILWAY TIES.
Mr. A. Poindron, Commercial Agent for
Canada at Paris, France, has submitted
to the Department of Trade and Com-
merce a report on the demand for railway
ties in France. The dimensions of the
ties mostly in demand are similar to those
used in this country. There are two sizes,
the first 8 ft. 10 3-8 inches long by 8 5-8
inches wide by 5 1-2 inches deep for
square ties, and second 8 ft. 10 3-8 inches
long by 11 7-8 inches by 6 inches for half
round or sided ties. The duty is about
29 cents per 220 pounds and the price on
the cars at Havre’s Station, duty paid, 67
cents each.
The largest steady demand is for oak
and beech ties, which are purchased by
the railway companies either plain or in-
jected with creosote. When bought plain
they are injected with creosote on the
railways’ Steady contract
specifications have been supplied to Can-
adian inquirers applying to both cases.
No substantial import contract, is obtain-
able from a French railway company un-
own plants.
less an important building of track is in
course of construction or in view, as
for the renewals of the
and small extensions they get generally
all the beech or oak ties they want in the
local districts surrounding the system’s
track repairs
lines, but as soon as important building's
of new tracks are resumed, the local sup-
ply-becomes insufficient and accordingly
they are open for very large contracts of
foreign ties. Such has been the case in
the past few years.
The railway men in France object to
plain beech ties being imported, as they
think that the sea voyage injures the wood.
Accordingly, so far as beech ties are con-
cerned, French railway engineers would
be open only for beech ties shipped from
Canada already injected with creosote.

We own and operate several mills in Washington and British
Columbia, being on both sides of the ‘‘ Imaginary Line” known
as the International Line, and it keeps our opponents in the trade
guessing how to meet us on account of the good quality of our
manufactured stock, which has been so carefully planned that
even the selection of our timber lands in years past has something
to do with the present.
We find our competing salesmen’s story to the customers has
now got to be a ‘‘song pure and simple,’ which they have
learned from necessity to sing loudly and lustily, and is as
follows: ‘“* JUST AS GOOD AS HASTINGS,” “JUST
AS GOOD AS HASTINGS.”
While we appreciate their holding our goods as models of per-
fection, which the high standard certainly merits, still looking at
the matter from the customer’s and the consumer’s standpoint

CURRENT TRADE CONDITION S
ONTARIO.
The movement of lumber is increasing
as fast as the weather will permit. The
difficulty of making shipments is still a
great barrier to business and until spring
is here in full force the conditions are not
likely to be much improved. When spring
trade commences there will no doubt be a
great rush, and the rolling stock of the
railroads will be severely taxed to move
the lumber. Buyers who are in a position
to place orders and secure delivery at the
present should not neglect the
opportunity of doing so. There is not a
great deal of pine lumber in the hands of
time
manufacturers, but a large quantity 1s still

been very closely bought up, the steady
and urgent demand for boxes being one
of the strongest indications of the pros-
perous condition of the manufacturing com-
munity. There has lately been an increased
inquiry for Norway pine, and from some
contracts recently closed it would appear
that prices are improving. Manufactur-
ers are exhibiting no anxiety over the sale
of their product, but are constantly being
approached by prospective buyers, and
already a large percentage of the season’s
cut has been contracted for.
The weather of late has not improved
logging conditions in the hardwood sec-
tions. Reports from the Owen Sound
district and further north tell of a general
shortage in the output, which is sure to
have an effect upon lumber prices. No
one can be found who is willing to sacrifice
his hardwood lumber, and there is ab-
solutely no pressure to sell; on the other
hand, dealers are picking up suitable
stocks wherever they can be found.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
Building throughout Manitoba and the
West is opening up very satisfactorily.
Almost daily the announcement is made of
some important building to be erected in
Winnipeg. There is, naturally, a dis-
position on the part of lumber dealers to
replenish their stocks for the spring trade,
but owing: to the uncertainty regarding
prices few orders have as yet been placed.
A report from Vancouver states that the
millmen and the Canadian Pacific Railway
have reached an agreement by which the
freight rate on rough cedar, hemlock,
spruce and all woods except fir will be re-
duced from 50 cents to 406 cents per
hundred pounds, the same rate as is now
charged on fir, making a uniform rate on
all rough lumber. The mill men, in turn,
have agreed to reduce the price of rough
lumber $1 per thousand feet, the highest
grades to remain unchanged.
UNITED STATES.
The Mississippi Valley Lumbermen’s
Association, at a meeting held at Minne-
apolis on March 8th, adopted a price list
making the following advances : No. 4
boards, $1 ; No. 3 boards, 10-inch, 50
cents ; No. 3 shiplap and D. & M., 50
cents ; 6-inch No. 3 fencing, 6-foot
lengths, $1.50; 8 and 1o0-foot lengths, $1;
12 and 14 foot lengths, 50 cents ; 4-inch
No. 3 fencing, all lengths, 5° cents ;. 4-
inch No. 4 fencing, all lengths, $1. These
descriptions of lumber have practically
been cleaned out by the demand for box
lumber, and it is expected that the pro-
duction of box lumber this season will be
insufficient to meet the demand. A report
from Buffalo states that a Scarcity of all
low grade white pine is feared. The
white pine market as a whole is strong,
with prices showing an upward tendency.
The cut at Duluth this season is estimated
at 261,000,000 feet, which is a decided
shortage as compared with late years.
In the entire Lake Superior district the
shortage is estimated at from 20 to 25
per cent. In ihe light of these facts there
does not seem to be much ground on
which to base the expectation of lower
prices for white pine. The hardwood de-
mand is confined largely to consuming
factories, but as spring Opens there will
doubtless be heavy buying by dealers, as
the stocks of both wholesalers ard re-
tailers are much depleted. Thick ash is
in short supply and sells readily, while
there is also a more active movement of
basswood. The hemlock demand is more
pronounced than any other kind of north-
ern lumber, there having been a posi-
tive revival during the past fortnight. Dry
stocks are very low and will be com-
pletely exhausted before the new cut is
ready for the market. The shingle trade
is dull and prices not altogether satis-
factory, but some improvement is looked
for at an early date.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The news from the British market is by
no means encouraging. The prevailing

failure of Robert Parker & Co., timber
importers, and John Edwards & Co., box

is said that the assets show twenty cents

Several agents of Quebec shippers are
reported to have secured contracts for

about equal to those which were p.sid one

A meeting of the St. John, N.B., lum-
bermen was held last week to prepare to
meet a rush ot ice and logs which is ex-
pected upon the breaking up of the St.
John river. There are between 4,000,000
and 5,000,000 feet of logs between Fred-
ericton and Grand Falls and from
30,000,000 to 35,000,000 feet between
Grand Falls and Seven Islands at the
headwaters. Ifthe ice goes quietly by
Fredericton and permits the booms to be
swung, all will be well, but otherwise the
lumbermen are fearful of the result. It is
proposed to spend about $5,000 in pre-
parations to save the drift drive.
The Barbadoes lumber market is thus
reviewed by Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son &
Company: ‘There being no arrivals since
our last report, stocks are being greatly
reduced by the usual crop requirements of
this season. We think that in four or five
weeks a cargo of white pine would meet
with a fair price. Spruce is not heavily
stocked, but as previously advised, hem-
lock, which is held in large quantities, is
being used instead. Gaspe and Dimen-
sion shingles arein gooddemand. Stocks
are reduced toa very low ebb and we
think next arrivals will bring good prices.
Cedar Laying are in fair supply, A qual-
ity at from $2.10 to $2.15.”
LUMBER FREIGHTAGE RATES.
At a meeting of the river tug boat men
and mill men held at St. John, N. B., last
week the charge on spruce from the
Fredericton booms and from Springhill
was compromised at 65 cents per thou-
sand feet for the current year. This is on
condition that 100,000,000 feet of spruce
will be handled.

THE LOG PRODUCTION.
The following letters regarding the pro-
duction of logs this winter have been re-
ceived, in addition to those published in
the March number:
CHEW Bros., Midland, Ont.: ‘‘Last
season we took out a little less than two
million. While this year it will be a little
over six million, we are not certain that
we shall get them all out, as we still have
quite a number to draw; we have had
along draw for about one-third of this
quantity, from five to seven miles, and
owing to the unusually stormy winter
and great depth of snow, we have been
delayed some. However, if weather holds
good for another ten days or so we think
they will all come out.”’
J. J. WHEELOcK, Connors, N.B.: ‘Our
cut of lumber last season was less than
the previous year; on account of the dry
season and low water, a part of the logs
were hung up. All the mills have been
shut down in this vicinity this winter.
There is a large cut of logs on the upper
St. John river this season. The weather
and conditions have been favorable in this
section, and if there is a good year for
driving there will be a large quantity of
lumber to market. It looks as if the
price of lumber will not be any higher.”
TRACADIE LUMBER Co., Sheila, N.B. :
“Our cut will slightly exceed that of last
winter. We expect to have about eleven
million fest available for this season’s
cutting, exceeding last year by about 10
per cent. The winter, while very cold,
has been favorable for logging. Wages
have been nearly 25 per cent. higher than
previous years and cost of logs must be
much higher than ever before.”
N. & A, Dyment, Thessalon, Ont. :
“Our cut. of logs this winter has been
about the same as last year, if anything
a little less. Wehave had a great deal
of difficulty lumbering this winter on
account of the excessive depth of snow.
It came very early and prevented the
freezing of the roads in the low places,
and required a great many extra men and
teams to keep the roads plowed out and
the snow shoveled off the skid-ways, and
latterly has caused some trouble on the
lakes by the water rising over the ice on
account of the heavy weight ofsnow. We
think these conditions have been pretty
general all along the North Shore.”
THE GLASGOW MARKET.
Messrs. Edmiston & Mitchells, of Glas-
gow, Scotland, under date of 29th Feb-
ruary, Say that business so far this year
may be described as having been rather
disappointing, and the feeling of dullness
which has characterized the market un-
fortunately shows very little evidence of
undergoing a speedy alteration in this
respect. The future is very much depend-
ent upon shipbuilding and housebuilding,
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
and the prospects for these industries, we
regret to say, are by no means reassuring.
No doubt there have been several orders
placed recently shipbuilders, but
these have been mostly for tramp steam-
ers requiring very little timber.
A few shipments of pine and spruce
deals and birch planks have come to hand
during the past two months via St. John
and Portland, and were for the most part
disposed of frcm the ship's side. There
has not been so much business done this
year as last in contracting for delivery
during the coming season, the Quebec
shippers finding buyers unusually un-
responsive to their offers, which may be
explained partly on account of the high
asking prices and partly because merch-
ants see no evidence of trade improving to
justify purchasing — particularly at such
high prices. It is
business has been done in sidings on a
with
understood a fair
basis of prices similar to those ruling last
year. .
In American hardwoods a steady busi-
ness is going on, and values of high grace
poplar and oak lumber are well maintain-
ed, but there is more pressure to sell the
lower grades, with a consequent weaken-
ing of values.
Deliveries from stock have been fairly
well maintained for the two months this
year, though there has not been the same
activity as existed at same period last year.
WHITE PINE.—Since the beginng of the
year there hac been no movement in
waney or square timber, with the excep-
tion of a small parcel of fresh waney
arriving via St. Jobn,
Stocks
which was sold
“ex quay.” are moderate and
prices firm.
QUEBEC RED PINE.—The is nothing new
to report. There has been no further im-
port, and the present small stock is suffi-
cient tor the demand.
Oak.—Engquiries for this class of timber
are few, and except for one or two small
retail sales, there has been nothing doing.
Stocks are heavy.

The stock of this
class is small, with prices tending up-
wards. Second class is moving off slow-
ly, and the stock is still heavy.
QUEBEC BrrcH.—There has been no im-
port this year, so far, of either logs or
planks, and for all the demand which
exists it is perhaps as well, as some of last
year’s import of Quebec logs still remains
unsold. Shippers are quoting higher
prices for delivery during the coming
season, but it is understood that little, if
any, business has been done in this market,
the furniture trade being too dull to
encourage buying — particularly at an
advance on last year’s prices.
LOWER Port BircH.—The import dur-
ing January and February has been about
150 loads from St. John and Halifax, some
of which has been sold ‘‘ex quay” and
some stored. There is still a considerable
quantity of old Pictou birch in the market,

One or two lots of planks changed hands
recently at about £7 5s. per standard.

in the market, and only an_ occasional
enquiry for quantities, There

Robt. Aiken, who has been operating on

THE LOG CROP IN NEW BRUNSWICK.
The past winter has been favorable for
logging operations on the St. John river
in New Brunswick. The cut is estimated
between 135,000,000 and
feet, which is about the same as last year.
Added to this will be at least 35,000,-
ooo hung up from last season, which will
140,000,000
bring the totalup to 70,000,000, the larg-
est which has been for many years. From
the northern part of the province and
some parts of Quebec it is reported that
lumber operators have been greatly im-
peded by snow and that the cut will be
much smaller than usual, as men and
teams had to leave the woods long before
the usua! time to quit.

We own and operate several mills in Washington and British
Columbia, being on both sides of the ‘‘Imaginary Line” known
as the International Line, and it keeps our opponents in the trade
guessing how to meet us on account of the good quality of our
manufactured stock, which has been so carefully planned that
even the selection of our timber lands in years past has something
to do with the present.
We find our competing salesmen’s story to the customers has
now got to be a ‘‘song pure and simple,’ which they have
learned from necessity to sing loudly and lustily, and is as
follows: “* JUST AS GOOD AS HASTINGS, ” “JUST
AS GOOD AS HASTINGS.”
While we appreciate their holding our goods as models of per-
fection, which the high standard certainly merits, still looking at
the matter from the customer's and the consumer’s standpoint

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,
Duron
The weather has not moderated suffi-
ciently to stimulate the demand for lumber
to any extent, particularly as many
customers are waiting the delivery of
stock ordered weeks ago. Until this
lumber reaches them they wil] refrain from
placing further orders except for urgent
requirements and when delivery can be
guaranteed. The tone of the market con-
tinues unchanged, the disposition being to
hold for prices equa! to or higher than
those obtained one year ago. In this
issue will be found the statement of stacks
of white pine lumber at the mills on the
Georgian Bay as compiled by the Secre-
tary of the Ontario Lumbermen’s Associa-
tion. It will be seen that the stock on
hand is 20,000,000 feet less than one year
ago, 31,000,000 feet less than two years
ago, and 66,000,000 feet less than three
ago. The actual situation, how-
ever, is even more favorable than the
figures show, for the reason that a larger
percentage than usual of the quantity on
hand has been sold but could not be
years
moved owing to the severe winter and
blockade of the railroads. The statement
shows that there is only 50,000,000 feet of
all grades of white pine that has not
passed out of the hands of manufacturers.
A serious problem confronts the lumber
manufacturers this spring in the movement
of their lumber, as the present shortage of
cars is certain to become more acute as
the spring advances. It is estimated that
between Orillia and Midland there is
nearly 20,000,000 feet of lumber that has
been sold and is waiting shipment by rail.
Unless the accumulated supply can be
moved with some rapidity, lack of piling
ground is likely to cause much incon-
venience.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,
There is a slightly better local demand
for spruce lumber and a sharp revival in
business is anticipated within the next two
or three weeks. British operators, how-
ever, are stil in the dark as to the course
the reports from across the
water being rather discouraging. It is
probable that some manufacturers will
give more than usual attention to the
South American and United States
markets. The shingle trade does not
show much life and consequently prices
are unchanged.
to pursue,
UNITED STATES.
During the month of February building
permits were taken out in 23 leading cities
of the United States involving a cost of
upwards of $14,000,000, a decrease of
approximately 10 per cent. as compared
with the corresponding month of 1903.
This is not a bad showing when the severe
weather is taken into consideration, and it
augurs well for considerable activity when
the weather becomes such that outdoor
operations can be carried on to advantage.
There has been a steady drain upon the
lumber supply, with the result that stocks
in the hands of retail dealers are abnorm-
ally low. The builders’ strike in New
York is the most unfavorable influence at
the present time. White pine prices are
being well maintained. The common and
lower grades are in demand ata slight
advance, which is an offset to the conces-
sions which are sometimes made on selects
and the better grades. No. 4 and No.
boards area negligible quantity in the
market, so great has been the call for
dox lumber. The reports from the log-
ging districts tell of a general shoriage in
the crop of white pine logs, and the mills
are likely to have a much lighter supply
than last year. This, together with the
ight stock of lumber carried over, is reck-
oned upon to prevent any material de-
cline in lumber prices.
The supply of dry hardwood lumber is
well nigh exhausted. This fact is appre-
ciated by dealers, many of whom have
closed contracts for new stock at an ad-
vance averaging about $2 per thousand
iM
ide
—e—sSsSsS9ms Ss OO
feet over those paid one year ago. Mich-
igan manufacturers are asking consider-
ably higher prices for maple. The same
may be said of birch, which has become
quite scarce. Basswood, elm and ash are
standard lumbers for which there is also
a ready sale and a probability of enhanced
values.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The timber trade of Great Britain shows
no improvement; in fact, the hope of a
change for the better is in some quarters
almost abandoned. The advent of spring
cannot but result in increased activity, but
whether it will restore coufidence or
increase the uncertainty which now pre-
vails is a question which cannot at the
moment be answered. The ¢onsumption
of lumber during the year will probably be
less than last season, but there is nothing
which would indicate that the decrease
will be material, as most of the industries
are enjoying moderate prosperity and
building operations promise to be about
normal. The great hindrance to more
activity in the lumber business seems to
be the indisposition of buyers to pay the
prices asked by shippers. A report from
London states that very little progress has
been made in effecting c.if. sales of
spruce. The opening quotations for
second and third quality deals at £10 and
£9 7s 6d per standard c.i.f. London led to
little business, and the lower figures that
succeeded brought no better response
from buyers. It is stated that some con-
tracts have been closed at £9 10s. and £9
c.i.f. for 3x9 second and third quality
spruce. The prices ruling auction sales
have predjudiced the ‘“‘to arrive’ market
and caused buyers to be unreasonably
cautious.

WHITE PINE STATISTICS.
The following statistical report was sub ,
mitted at the annual meeting of the Lum-
bermen’s Association of Ontario on March
17th, by the Secretary, Mr. W.B. Tindall :
PRODUCTION OF WHITE PINE LUMBER.
—The total production of mills in North-
Western Ontario, which embraces all
mills on the Georgian Bay, Northern
Division of the Grand Trunk Railway
to Caliender, and Canadian Pacific Rail-
way, North Bay to Rat Portage, in 1903
was 485 million feet. The comparison
with former years is as follows: 1899,
351,00.,000 feet ; 1900, 476,000,000 feet ;
1901, 466,000,000 feet ; 1902, 510,000,000
feet ; 1903, 485,000,000 feet, a decrease
between 1903 and 1902 of 25,000,000 feet.
Stocks oN Hanp.—There is in pile at
the mills about 150,000,000 feet, of which
100,000,000 is sold waiting spring de-
livery, and the balance is unsold. From
all l can learn there seems to be a great
searcity of the low grade lumber, abso-
lutely none in first hands, and what is
available being held by dealers for distri-
bution. The comparison with previous
years follows: 1899, 120,000,000 feet ;
1900, 216,349,000 feet ; 1901, 181,000,000
feet ; 1902, 170,000,000 feet ; 1903, 150,-
000,000 feet.
PROBABLE PRODUCTION OF 1904 LOGs.-—
I estimate this at 420,000,000 feet.
The answers to the enquiry as to
whether last year's prices would be main-
tained or not, are unanimous that they
would, and a good many are looking for a
10 per cent. increase, and one has to con-
sider that the increased cost of log pro-
duction this winter in the greater portion
of the district will require fully a 10 per
cent. increase to be in the same position
as last year.
It is of interest to look for a short time
at the statistics given for the competing
points of the United States. The figures
given for the states of Michigan, Minne-
sota and Wisconsin are as follows :
PRODUCTION.—1899, 6,056,508,000 feet ;
1900, 5,485,261,000 feet, decrease 571,-
247,000 feet; 1901, 5,336,448,000 feet,
decrease 48,813,000 feet from 1900 ; 1902,
5»294,395,000 feet, decrease 42,053,000
feet from 1901 ; 1903, 4,791,852,000 feet,
decrease 502,543,000 feet from 1902.
Stocks on Hanp (Same Period.) —
1899, 2,728,271,000 feet ; 1900, 2,839,706,-
ooo feet, increase 111,435,000 feet ; 1yo1,

feet, decrease 148,187,000 feet. Total
decrease since 1900, 875,274,000 feet.
In reference to these districts I would
like to call your attention to the fact that
it is the first time since 1879 that their
output had dropped to the 4,000 million
figure. In 1899 it stood at 4,806,943,000.
The highest point was reached in 18g0,
being 8,597,623,009, and the falling off
in 13 years to 1904 has been 3,805,771,000
feet or 44.26 per cent., the decrease being
steady since 1898.
The cut of hemlock for the same period
in the same district is as follows:
Total Cut — 1889, 868,410,000 feet ;
1900, 1,166,288,000 feet ; 1901, 1,264,943,-

“Owing to the
write as follows:
labor conditions and
scarcity of men last fail, the consequent
late start and the early and excessive
snowfall, the product of our winter's work
in the woods will not be over two-thirds of
last year’s cut, and at largely increased
eost. This, in our opinion, will apply to
all the lumber operations on the Georgian
Bay.”

(Correspondence of the CanaDA LUMBERMAN)-
St. Joun, N.
Shipping is somewhat brisker than at last

winter quarters in large numbers and
many are already taking cargoes for Am-
erican ports. Charters are being made at
$2.25
at $2.75 to New York.
on long lumber to Boston and
American laths are selling at from $2.-
35 to $2.45 per M. f.o.b. scbr. St. Jobn,for
immediate delivery. Stocks are very tow,
not more than two million at the’ outside
being available at the present moment,
and the demand is brisk.
Provincial laths are worth from $2.15
to $2.20 per M. Stocks in this line are also
small. An advance of from 10 cents to 20
cents per M. on laths is confidently ex-
pected in the near future.
The outlook for shingles is not so en-
couraging. The feeling seems to be that»
during the next few months at least, the
shingle market will not recover the falling
off in prices (10 cents per M. on the high
grades and 5 cents on the low) which took
place last fall, but rather that the better
grades may go lower yet. American ced-
ar shingles, f. o. b. St. John, are worth:
Extras, $2.95; Clears, $2.45 ; 2nd Clears,
$1.95 ; Extra No. 1,$1.15 ; No.1, $1.00.
The purchaseable stocks of American
shingles in and about St. John is very
low, possibly three million at the the out-

ual at this season, ice-bound in the coves

put will be in the vicinity of two and a half
millions, Provincial and American combin-
ed,
Local sales of shingles are few, but with
the opening of navigation in the river
trade will in all probability be very briskly
resumed at the following prices: 2nd
Clears, $2.00; Extra No. 1 $1.30; No. 1
$1.00. Few of the higher grades are sold
in the provinces for local consumption.
Local stocks of lower grades are much
smaller than usual,

We own and operate several mills in Washington and British
Columbia, being on both sides of the ‘‘ Imaginary Line”
known
as the International Line, and it keeps our opponents in the trade
gues-ing how to meet us on account of the good quality of our
manufactured stock, which has been so carefully planned that
even the selection of our timber lands in years past has something
to do with the present.
We find our competing salesmen’s story to the customers has

fection, which the high standard certainly merits, still looking at

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The milder weather has created more
activity in the lumber business. The de-
mand is increasing in greater ratio than the
volume of shipments, because of the in-
ability of the railroads to handle the busi
ness offered them. One of the largest
dealers states that although his orders so
far this year have been greater than dur-
ing the corresponding period of 1903, his
shipments show a considerable falling off-
This statement no doubt reflects the gen-
Stocks in the hands of re-
tailers must be very light, and will not
last long when the spring demand is on in
full force. The activity which-the advent
of spring will bring is almost certain to
prevent a decline in lumber prices, while
the shortage in the supply of the lower and
higher grades is not unlikely to cause a
slight advance.

Ol navigation.
There has been liberal buying of hard-
wood lumber. Prices are ina strong posi-
tion, and a large part of the season's cut
has been placed under contract. Dealers
and factory consumers have been heavy
buyers. Notwithstanding the high prices
which ruled last year, the feeling of the
trade seems to be that still higher prices
will be paid for hardwoods this season, as
the supply promises to be unequal to the
demand. Birch and elm show advancing
tendencies.
QUEBEC AND NEW RBUNSWICK,.
In reviewing the spruce market, it is
necessary to make two distinct divisions,
the local and United States trade on the
one side, and the British trade on the
other. Local business is quite satisfactory
and the outlook somewhat promising.
There is a good demand for all kinds of
lumber for home consumption and for
export to the United States. Many mills
catering to these markets have sold a
large percentage of their 1904 cut at an
advance over the prices received last year.
The outlook for shipments to Great Britain
is in striking contrast to these conditions.
Owing to the general depression there is
a feeling of nervousness in lumber circles,
and it is feared that there will be little
profit in shipments made to that country
this year. The amount of lumber placed
under contract for export across the water
is much smaller than.at the corresponding
lime one year ago.
Reports from New Brunswick indicate
that the cut of logs during the past winter
was equal to or slightly above the average.
As against this, however, the prospects
are poor for successful stream driving.
On the upper waters of the rivers there is
but little snow, and some of the streams
are quite dry. It is impossible, therefore,
to estimate with any degree of accuracy
the quantity of logs which will reach the
mills for sawing this year.
UNITED STATES,
The developments of the past week have
been favorable to the producer of lumber
of whatever kind, There hasbeen a mark-
ed increase in enquiry and demand and
conditions indicate that there will be a
brisk revival ot trade before many days.
From now forward the lumber required
for building purposes will be an important
factor in the demand. The consumer is
short of lumber and is anxious to replenish
his supply. Urctil recently there was a
conviction in the minds of consumers that
prices would decline. This has now given
way toa belief that buyers of lumber at
current prices will have no cause for regret
later in the The white pine
manufacturers are greatly encouraged by
the published statement that the production

of. lumber in the Duluth and Ashland —
districts this year will show a decrease of
50 per cent. as compared with last season,
This is the result of a restricted input of ©
logs. There is now on hand at Duluth, ot
last year's production, only 5,000,000 feet
of unsold lumber, where in former years
there has been from 75,000,000 to 125,-
000,000 feet at this time. All low grade
lumber has been absorbed and a large
part of the coming season's production —
is sold tor delivery. No. 3 boards are
held at $15 and No. 4 at $12 to $12.50 on
dock at Diluth.
Hardwood prices are higher. At a
meeting of the manufacturers held in
Wisconsin last week, soft elm was ad-
vanced $5, birch,maple and brown ash $2,
and other woods in proportion. There is
a comparatively large stock of Michigan
hardwood logs to be manufactured this
season, but the supply is not likely to be
sufficient to cause any weakness in prices.
Laths and shingles are moving slowly,
but prices are being well sustained.

GREAT BRITAIN.
The British market is in much the same.
position as at last report. No signs of
recovery are visible, but, on the other
hand, there is a disposition to limit obliga-
tions as much as possible and to place
contracts only after an order for the stock
has been received. It is probable that
Russian shippers will offer lumber at a
further reduction as a result of pressure
brought upon them by the banks, which in
turn are influenced by the Russian Gov-
ernment. There have been several small P
failures in the lumber trade recently,
ncidents which are not characterized to
inspire corfidence. Until the financial
atmosphere becomes clearer, an improved
state of trade is not to be expected.

We own and operate several mills in Washington and British
Columbia, being on both sides of the ‘ Imaginary Line” known
a» the International Line, and it keeps our opponents in the trade -
guessing how to meet us on account of the good quality of our
manufactured stock, whicn has been so carefully planned that
even the selection of our timber lands in years past has something
to do with the present.
We find our competing salesmen’s story to the customers has
now got to be a ‘‘song pure and simple,’ which they have
learned from necessity to sing loudly and lustily, and is as
follows: ** JUST AS GOOD AS HASTINGS,” “JUST
AS GOOD AS HASTINGS.”
While we appreciate their holding our goods as models of per-
fection, which the high standard certainly merits, still looking at
the matter from the customer's and the consumer's standpoint
we cannot see any advantage to you in buying an imitation when
the real article can be had through our representatives, viz :—

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,
—
The feeling of hopefulness displayed by
the lumber trade 1s more pronounced than
at any previous time this year. As the
result of better weather, everything has a
brighter look and there are evidences of
much greater activity in the near future.
The railways are making some progress
with the movement of congested freight,
but there is still a large quantity of lumber
waiting shipment. Buying of white pine
has been quite general during the past
week, several lots in the Georgian Bay
district havine changed hands at good fig-
ures. Log run is selling as high in price
as last year, and lately a disposition has
been shown to hold for an advance. For
the small quantity of unsold dry lumber on
hand high prices are being asked. Ten
and twelve inch common pine has been
marked up by some manufacturers about
$1 per thousand feet, $23 being asked for
lengths from 18 to 24 feet. Dry hemlock
and-spruce are also showing a hardening
tendency, 2 x 6 in. hemlock, 12 to 14 feet
in length, being held at the mills at $12.50.
There is a strong demand for all hard-
woods, with considerable inquiry for suit-
able export stock. Prices are hardening
as the result of liberal buying and in sym-
pathy with the strong market in the United
States. Lath are inclined to be a little
weaker, but as building operations pro-
gress the demand will improve and _ prices
strengthen accordingly,
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,
The outlook for the lumber business in
Western Canada is brightening. For the
first three months of this year the building
permits taken out in the city of Winnipeg
repesented in value upwards of $700,000,
which is an increase of $200,000 as com-
pared with the corresponding period of
1903. Similar activity prevails at Van-
couver, Victoria and other western points,
and there promises to be a brisk demand
for the class of lumber required for build-
ing purposes. The market is still some-
what unsettled, although a report from
British Columbia states that it has been
decided to maintain present prices not-
withstanding the abandonment of the
proposal to form a selling pool.
UNITED STATES.
More activity is exibited by the lumber
trade of the United States, and this not-
withstanding that shipments have for the
past two months been of considerable
volume. White pine shipments trom the
Mississippi and Wisconsin valley mills
amounted to 115,000,000 feet during
February, a decrease of only 6 per cent.
as compared with the same month last
year. The wholesale centres report an
increased number of enquiries for ship-
ment to New York, Philadelphia, Boston
and other eastern points, and a pronounc-
ed revival in trade this month is confident-
ly looked for. The most urgent demand
is for box lumber, although prices of No.
3and better have become firmer since the
shortage of the new cut became generally
known. There is very little dry lumber of
the lower grades at the mills.
The position of hardwoods is very favor-
able, with a tendency towards higher
prices. Wisconsin birch is bringing fully
$2 a thousand more than last fall and the
inspection is less severe. Dry hardwoods
in Michigan are very scarce and the lead-
ers have advanced in value from $2 to $3
a thousand. Birch No. 2 common and
better is bringing in $23 to $25 ; soft elm,
$25; and rock elm $24 to $25. Maple
prices are about the same as at the close
of last year. It is estimated that 4o per
cent.of the new cut of hardwoods has been
contracted for. Long lengths of hemlock
lumber are in splendid request and mill
stocks are very light. No decline in prices
is looked for.

GREAT BRITAIN,
It is not possible to report much improve-
ment in the timber trade of Great Britain.
Few contracts are being closed and there
is still a disposition to adopt a waiting
attitude. It is freely predicted that deals
will be sold at lower prices, but as
regards the smaller sizes the situation
seems to be stronger and the stock offered
is being taken somewhat freely. The
Board of Trade returns show that the trade
of the country is sound, but it is expected
that any improvement will be of slow
The volume of business with
South Africa has been disappointing to
British merchants, and the financial diffi-
culties have created a feeling that caution
will have to be observed this year to pre-
vent further disaster to those who have
been carrying heavy stocks bought at high
prices. Auction sale prices have been
lower. _Two lots of 2-inch first quality
broad pine deals sold at £31 5s. per
standard, and some third quality pine, 1o
and 11 feet, at £roto £11. A large line
of Quebec deals, 3x9 ip. unassorted,
brought only £8 5s., and 2x9 in. only
£7 10s. A few lots of 3x9 in. second
quality Quebec spruce sold at £9 15s., a
decline of 5s. as compared with the pre-
vious price. First quality 3x9 in. brought
£i1 per standard. Notwithstanding the
tendency towards weakness reflected in
the above prices, we are told that import-
ers who have refrained from making their
purchases of pine deals are now realizing
that they will have to pay the increased
prices asked by shippers if they wish to
secure the stock.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMEBRMAN.)
From all that can be learned, the Ottawa
district lumbermen are looking forward to
a big summer's business. The predictions
made from time to time in these columns
bid fair to come true, at least in as far as
the American market is concerned. Said
a leading lumberman to-day : ‘‘ The Ameri-
can market looks bright, very bright.
Higher prices are being paid for low grade
lumber, and the high grade lines are
holding to their high prices. There’s no
question but what the American market is
going to take a lot of Canadian lumber
this year. As a matter of fact, we have
sold more up to date than in any previous
year.”
The same informant, however, was not
as optimistic regarding the English mar-
ket. He stated that the war situation has
caused a feeling of uneasiness in the Old
Country, and dealers are not purchasing
any heavier in Canadian lumber than they
can help. They are just securing suffi-
cient to supply immediate demands.
The Spring so far has been a favorable
one for the lumbermen. Hauling oper-
ations have been carried on several] weeks
later than usual, and all the logs and
square timber have been placed at the
stream side. Every provision has been
made fora prompt movement of the logs
this Spring, and it 1s not expected that
many will be tied up, as was the case last
season on some of the Quebec streams.
The lumber industry has undergone a
great bcom along the lower Ottawa in
the past few years. At L’Orignal, be-
low Hawkesbury, no less than four mills
have been erected. The firms interested
are Williamson & Morrison, Church &
Sons, Arthur Bell and Frank Stearns.
Although these mills do not enjoy railway
facilities, their sites as far as the river is
concerned are superior to anything on
the Quebec shore which is paralleled by
the north shore line of the C, P. R.
EO. G. GLADMAN
WANAVA LUMIDEINTAIN VY COALIT LULILUIN
Across from L’Orignal at Calumet Mr.
George H. Perley’s mill, remodelled and
enlarged, has cut lots of lumber in recent
years.
Nearly all the small
Canada Atlantic and Canadian Pacific
Railways out of Ottawa, kept running
this winter, although the deep snow made
log hauling somewhat difficult. Along
the Hawkesbury and Rockland branches
of the Canada Atlantic, in districts where
one would seem to think all the timber
had been removed years ago, good quanti-
ties of log and square timber were taken
out this year.
During the past four months the Canada
Atlantic Railway Company handled 180,-
ooo saw logs and 4,000 pieces of square
timbe: from Mr. J. R. Booth’s limits along
the Madawaska. This traffic is now at an
end. All the logs were delivered at the
Booth mill here, while the square timber
was unloaded into the St. Lawrence
at Clark’s Island. When the ice leaves
it will be rafted down to Quebec city for
export to England.
The recent thaws removed the anchor
and other ice from the channels at the
Chaudiere, and there is now a full supply
of water for the wheels. The Booth saw
mill and other concerns are running full
time on water power again.
Ex. Ald. Charles Desmarais, of Hull,
had a busy season in the bush in the
Pontiac district. He has now on hand,at
a convenient point for shipment, a large
stock of telegraph and telephone poles.
Mr. Desmarias has a contract on hand to
take out in the same district 10,000 cords
of poplar pulpwood during April, May and

BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
VANCOUVER, March 28th, 1904.—Con-
ditions in all lines of the Jumber industry
in this province are at present firm, and
there are ample indications that they will
remain so. Last year was a disastrous
one to loggers, several operators becom-
Ing bankrupt, and a large number of
camps closing down. This, with the deep
snow this winter, has caused a scarcity,
and good merchantable logs sell from $6
to $7 per thousand. Even yet there are
five feet of snow in the woods, and though
one or two camps have resumed oper-
ations, it will be another month before the
stringency is relieved.
Those writing insurance on logs have
been heavy Josers this winter. It is
estimated by Mr. W. H. Higgins, Pres-
ident of the Loggers’ Association, that
over ten million logs have been lost in the
storms which have been so prevalent in
the Gulf of Georgia and off the British
Columbia coast during past four months.
There have been some busy sessions of
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
the British Columbia Lumber and Shingle
Manufacturers’ Association during the
past week, and for a short time it looked
as if there was going to be a cut in prices.
A selling pool was talked of for the
Association, a step further than the com-
bire in prices which has before obtained,
but this has been abandoned because the
large firm of E. H. Heaps & Company
refused to enter. The members of the
Association met morning, noon and night
for a week, and Mr. Heaps was _ inter-
viewed at his house by some mill men
prominent in the organization, and at last
the announcement was officially made that
no pool would be formed, and that every-
thing would proceed as formerly.
Prices for rough lumber range in the
neighborhood of $13, while that for the
finished article varies. This figure has
been maintained for some time, and will
likely remain so. The demand locally is
exceptionally brisk, the building in Van-
couver being twice as great as last year,
which was considered the best since the
city started. The supply for the North-
manufacturers anticipate a busy season
with good prices.
Ontario lumbermen are becoming large-
ly interestedin this Province. Mr. W. Irwin,
of Peterboro, and Mr. G, McCormick,
M.P. for Muskoka and Parry Sound, are
large shareholders in the Pacific Coast
Lumber Company, of Vancouver, which
has the best and most modern plant on
the coast, or perhaps in the world, and
Jately another large deal was put through.
This latter was the purchase of the Kam-
loops saw mill and timber limits. Mr.
Peter Ryan, of Toronto, who was interest-
ed in the sale of the limits, was out, as
were also the others. Mr.G. W. Fowler,
M.P. for King's county, N.B., is to act as
manager of the company for a short while.
Conditions in the interior of the Prov-
ince; where the manufacturers are joined
into the Mountain Lumbermen’s Associa-
tion, are as good if not better than at the
coast. They have the ever increasing
market of the Territories at their very
doors, and the most is being made of it.
A large number of mills are going up,
although this winter a few went to the
April 6,
wall, the cause of starting with too small
capital. These were some of the lesser
concerns, and were soon absorbed.

Casing, Newels,
We own and operate several mills in Washington and British
Columbia, being on both sides of the ‘‘ Imaginary Line” known
as the International Line, and it keeps our opponents in the trade
guessing how to meet us on account of the good quality of our
manufactured stock, which has been so carefully planned that
even the selection of our timber lands in years past has something
to do with the present.
We find our competing salesmen’s story to the customers has
now got to be a ‘‘song pure and simple,” which they have
learned from necessity to sing loudly and lustily, and is as
follows: ‘* JUST AS GOOD AS HASTINGS,” “JUST
AS GOOD AS HASTINGS.”
While we appreciate their holding our goods as models of per-
fection, which the high standard certainly merits, still looking at
the matter from the customer's and the consumer’s standpoint
we cannot see any advantage to you in buying an imitation when
the real article can be had through our representatives, viz :—

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
Prices of lumber at the mills throughout
Ontario have hardened somewhat, though
no decided advance has taken place.
With the exception of the backward spring,
which it is feared may affect the yield of
wheat, general conditions are favorable,
and it would probably not be found difficult
to make an all-round advance in lumber
prices. This, however, is not likely to
occur, as most of the manufacturers are of
the opinion that the wiser policy is to en-
courage the consumption of lumber by
There
will doubtless be some advances on certain
grades, such as box lumber, owing to the
unusually light supply. Ten and 12 inch
pine dressing is stronger at the present
time, and norway is showing a little more
activity and strength.
keeping prices at a normal level.
High prices are
Warmer
weather has increased the hardwood trade.
There is a splendid enquiry for elm and
birch, while thick stock in nearly all class-
es is in steady request. Lath prices are
firm at the recent decline. No. 1 white
pine is held at the mills at $2.75 and No. 2
at $2.25. For No. 1 and 2 Norway $2.50
and $2 respectively are asked.
also being paid for mill culls.
QUEBEC AND NEW BUNSWICK.
A fair movement of lumber for local ac-
count is now in progress, and there is a
Tl.
considerable demand for clapboards for
shipment to the Eastern States. It is not
expected that prices will improve very
much, as owning to the depressed condi-
tion of British trade, there is likely to bea
surplus of lumber available to supply the
home and United States markets. Of course
the question of a shortage in the log sup-
ply may kave to be reckoned with. At the
present time the outlook for stream driv-
ing is promising, but conditions may change
within twenty-four hours any: time during
the next month. The statement presented
at the annual meeting of the St. John River
Log Driving Company last week showed
that the cut on the St. John river last win-
ter was about (40,000,0@0 feet, which, with
40,000,000 feet hung up last season, gives
a total of 180,000,000 feet to be driven
year. Ifthe total quantity should reach
the mills a full supply would be available
to keep them in operation throughout the
season. It is estimated that 38,000,000
feet will be driven down the Tobique river
this season.
UNITED STATES.
Prospects for the maintenance of present
prices of white pine lumber continve to im-
prove. Recent developments show that
there will be a pronounced shortage in the
output of both white and norway pine this
year. Ameeting of the manufaciurers in
the Lake Superior district was held last
week, at which statistics were submitted
showing that the mills along the lakes
which last year produced &39,000,000 feet
will this year manufacture only 421,000, 900
feet, a shortage of 418,000,000 feet. The
quantity of lumber on hand was shown to
be 20 per cent. less than at the corres-
ponding date last year. There is no box
lumber at the mills and practically all of
that grade to be manufactured this year
has been contracted for, recent sales
having been made on the basis of $12.50
for No. 4 and $8 for No. 5. While there
will be a decided shortage in white pine,
the production of southern pine, hemlock,
and other soft lumber is likely to be as
great as last year, and it is doubtful
whether the conditions warrant any
material advance in prices from the quot-
ations now ruling. This fact appears to
be appreciated by the manufacturers.
The scarcity of certain grades, however,
has of itself brought about higher prices.
At North Tonawanda, for instance, mill
culls are selling as high as $16. Hard-
wood lumber shows no weakness what-
ever. Business is increasing, stocks are
not large, and consumers are willing to
buy at current prices. There is a con-
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
siderable movement in hemlock lath, but
white pine are rather slow. °
GREAT BRITAIN,
Canadian shippers are still waiting in
the hope that British importers will, as
their stocks become exhausted, come into
the market at prices. Trans-
actions in both pine and spruce have been
limited, yet it is stated that a Quebec firm
is buying very large quantities of first
quality spruce for Admiralty contracts.
Spot prices are the barrier to trade im-
provement. Until these are on a better
footing importers will be loath to buy from
shippers at the high prices now asked.
All this would be quickly remedied by an
increased demand from éonsumers, but at
the present time there are few indications
that this condition will arise. While the
outlook for shipbuilding has improved,
housebuilding is by no means active and
the cabinet trade is still quiet. Broad
pine deals in first quality are quoted by
Calder, Henderson & Livingstone, Glas-
gow, at £35 to £39 per standard, and 11
inch at£28 17s. to £31 12s. While quot-
ations for pine sidings, 1 to 2 inch, are from
425 to £29, it is stated that some holders
have been forcing their stocks, and that
large lines have lately been sold at about
£24. There has been a drop in the price
of 3rd and 4th quality pine deals and in
practically all grades of spruce. Waney
pine and elm timber are in good demand
and have risen in price. Quotations for
waney are 4s. 4d. per cubic foot for prime
ship-building wood of long average and
18 to to 19 inch string. Rock elm 45 feet
average, is worth from gs. 6d. to 3s. 9d.
per cnbic foot.

The Newville Lumber Company, of

of logs ready for driving to their mill.
They have had 1,000,000 feet sawed by
portable mills. Their operations this sea-
son will total about 10,000,000 feet.
Alvin Peter, of Parry Sound, Ont., took
out about 15,000,000 feet of logs during

All grades of cooperage stock continue
scarce. The American Lumberman says
that jobbers sometimes have to refuse the
stock owing to it being shipped too green.
Basswood heading is a little more plentiful,
but is not inmuch supply. First-class elm

Buffalo; basswood heading,
coiled hoops, $10.50.
IO cents;
Under date of March 26th, Messrs. S. P:
Musson, Son & Company write of the Bar-
badoes lumber market as follows: “We
have to report the arrival this week of
the Schooner Edyth, from Mahone Bay,
N. S., with 82,000 feet of spruce, which
sold at $21.29 to some dealers who were
bare of this lumber and paid this price to
secure it; but in our opinion this is a very
full figure and can be no criterion for future
guidance, as our market is fully stocked
with hemlock, which, being cheaper, is
being used instead of spruce. White pine
is in fair supply, but as stocks are being
gradually worked off, we think that a
small cargo would bring a tair price. Di-
mension and Long Cedar shingles are
very scarce and the next arrivals will bring
good prices. Cedar Laying are held in
fair quantity, and we do not value these
at over $2.15.”

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
Everything seems to point to a brisk
season’s cutting in the Ottawa district
The owner of a mill situated in the

Parry Sound district, at
sawing is done, said to-day that he had
received orders for sawing that would
keep four smal! mills busy.
ported an active demand for sawn lum-
ber. With practically all the low grade
stuff in second hands, and the high grade
stock well spoken for, it is pretty certain
that prices will suffer no decline through
an overstocking cf the market this year.
The Ottawa district lumbermen have
heard with pleasure that the threatened
labor troubles in New York and district
will likely be referred to arbitration. This
makes the hopes of an early settlement
bright. The lumbermen were fearing a
repetition of last year’s tie-up in the build-
ing trade which dealt a black eye to the
He also re-
lumber business.
So far there have been no changes in
lumber prices in the Ottawa district. Lack
of business has kept the market stationary,
bat early changes may be looked for. The
lath market, however, is shifty. It has
been sagging since the fall, but may re-
cover with the extra demand following the
opening of the building season. Ruling
prices are: No. 1 white pine, $2.40 to
$2.60 ; No. 2 white pine, $2.00 to $2.25.
The hardwood market in the Ottawa
district is very active these days. Since
November there has been an advance,
according to the different lines, of from
ten to fifteen per cent. in the past week
there has been an advance of five per
cent., which is included in the greater ad-
vance referred to. There is a good
demand for hardwoods for furniture and
interior fittings.
The high price of low grade pine has
led to the increased use of poplar in the
Ottawa district for box manufacturing pur-

A visitor in the city this week was
Peter Dorrley, the veteran timber explorer
in the employ of the Rideau Lumber Com-
pany. He has travelled the upper country
through which the Grand Trunk Pacific 1s
projected. The building of that road, he
says, will develop a large timber area in
which many mills will be established. Mr.
Dorrley is not, however, at all enthusiastic
over the supply of white pine in the dis-

extent of territory or size of trees with
that farther south. However, there is an
abundance of spruce suitable for pulp
wood. The country is also well stocked
with hardwood, birch being found up toa
size of twenty Tamarac, and
balm of Gilead are also in great evidence.
An important sale of limits in the district
has just been noted. Mr. Andrew Mc-
veteran lumberman of

Cormack, the
Ottawa, has purchased from the Quebec
government 130 square miles of limits
situated on the Height of Land through
which the Grand Trunk Pacific will pass.
The limits will likely be held for future
sale.
Mr. J. R. Booth, the lumber king, last
week celebrated his 77th birthday. Mr.
Booth is still in active and
aggressive. His latest project is to build
a paper mill in connection with his new
harness,

(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
St. Jonn, N. B., April 5th, 1904.—At
present writing the outlook for English
deals is ruled by the same uncertainty
characterized the market for
some months past. Although there seems
to b2 an indifference on the part of the
that has
larger buyers, the demand is increasing
as rapidly as could reasonably be expect-
ed considering the lateness of the spring.
The manufacturers and dealers in these
parts are sanguine of a firmer price and a
still greater demand an are betraying no
anxiety as to the future. They seem will-
ing to await developments rather than
make any further concessions in price.
The tardiness of the warm weather will
make the sawing season of this year at
Along the St. John River, owing to.the
above condition and also to the inability
of the manufacturers to obtain their logs
before mid-June, the season will be at
least two months shorter than was the
case last year.
While it is impossible to make any fore-
cast in regard to price with any certainty
of being correct, it is safe to say that an
should be worth
from $12.50 f.o.b.

ordinary specification
to $13.00 per M.
ends.
Stocks are very low and the lots now
going forward will practically clean up
everything in sight. These lots are chiefly
the remains of last season’s output. It is
estimated that the total manufacture of
deals in New Brunswick will be from 10

steam drivers meet with no difficulty in
bringing out their logs, but if, owing to
an unfavorable freshet, such an emerg-
ency should arise and the logs be hung up
to any great extent, thus causing a scar-
city, the season’s cut will be still further
As it is at
possible to say what the prospects are for

a good driving season. The rivers are
still frozen solid, the snow in the woods is
not melting at all, and it will be some
weeks before the indications will begin to
show themselves.

We own and operate several mills in Washington and British
Columbia, being on both sides of the ‘‘ Imaginary Line” known
as the International Line, and it keeps our opponents in the trade
guessing how to meet us on account of the good quality of our
manufactured stock, which has been so carefully planned that
even the selection of our timber lands in years past has something
to do with the present.
We find our competing salesmen’s story to the customers has
now got to be a ‘‘song pure and simple,’ which they have
learned from necessity to sing loudly and lustily, and is as
follows: ‘* JUST AS GOOD AS HASTINGS,” “JUST
AS GOOD AS HASTINGS.”
While we appreciate their holding our goods as models of per-
fection, which the high standard certainly merits, still looking at
the matter from the customer's and the consumer’s standpoint
we cannot see any advantage to you in buying an imitation when
the real article can be had through our representatives, viz :—

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The unsettled weather of the past week
has tended to hold back orders for lumber,
and the volume of business passing be-
tween retail dealers and consumers is not
large. Buying by wholesalers has been
in evidence, however, there being a notice-
able disposition to pick up stock at each
favorable opportunity. Prices have reached
the point where there is very little specu-
lative buying, asit is generally recognized
that manufacturers will not endeavor to —
force prices much higher lest it should
have the effect of restricting the con-
sumption. Such buying, therefore, as has
taken place has been of a healthy
character and by persons who will hold
the stock against any temporary depres-
sion. A recent transaction was the pur-
chase by White, Gratwick & Mitchell, of
Buffalo, and White, Rider & Frost, of
Tonawanda, of ten million feet of white
pine lumber to be cut at Spanish River this
season. Prices are reported to have been
very satisfactory to the seller, while the
buyers are no doubt satisfied with their
bargain.
The sawing season has not yet fully
opened up, but a number of mills are in
operation. The new cut will not be ready
at the earliest before the middle of June,
during which time the present light
supply of dry stock is certain to be cleaned
up. The situation, in our opinion, in re.
spect to both pine and hardwooods, is
fairly strong, with little or no probability
of a decline in prices in the near future.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Manufacturers who have depended upon
the European markets can find little en-
couragement in the outlook for business.
Shippers who have returned from England
report that the conditions prevailing on
that side of the Atlantic are quite un-
favorable. Many who are usually ready
buyers of spruce deals are not disposed
towards placing contracts at prevailing
prices, as they are of the opinion that they
will be able to buy to better advantage at
a later date. In the meantime the present
stock of dry lumber on this side is being
worked off, and as the log drives will be
later than usual, prices are not likely to
decline much below present quotations.
There is a good demand for lumber for
shipment to New York and the Eastern
States, where the supply is lighter than
usual. Shingle prices are steady on the
basis of $3.35 to $3.40 for extras, Boston
delivery. Laths are showing a little more
aciivity. Present prices on Boston rate of
freight are $3.30 to $3.35 fur 156 inch, and
$3.15 to $3.20 for 1% inch, but it is prob-
able that there will be an advance on
these prices in the near future.
UNITED STATES.
The white pine trade of the United
is showing increased activity, while the
hardwood business is in a flourishing con-
dition. Recent large purchasers of white
pine in the Lake Superior district stand
as evidence that the large dealers do not
anticipate a decline in prices. The Ed-
ward Hines Lumber Company, of Chi-
cago, last week closed a contract for the
1904 production of the two mills of the N.
Ludington Company at Marinette, Wis.,
amounting to 45,000,000 teet, which with
5,000,000 previously secured makes the
total purchase nearly 50,000,000 feet.
The consideration is said to have been
almost $1,000,000. Box lumber continues
to receive more attention than any other
grade, The factories are still in need of
stock, notwithstanding that they have
been buying heavily all winter. In Buffalo
1x12 box brings $21. Mill culls are so
scarce that some dealers have withdrawn
their quotations altogether. No. 5 box
lumber sells readily at $10, which is an
exceptionally high price.
Hardwood sales continue to show an
increase and there is a pronounced scarc-
ity of some items. Birch is in very strong
demand for furniture making and _ interior
finish. The Wisconsin mills are asking
$18 to $19 for mill run, and find no difficulty
disposing of their stock, as jobbers are
active in picking up dry lumber. While
maple lumber is strong, the same cannot
be said of flooring. The manufacturers

of this material still complain of low
prices, as much as $5 below the list price
being quoted in some instances.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The shippers of Norway, Sweden and
Russia are closing contracts for lumber for
delivery to Great Britain at sharp reces-
sions, and long as there is pressure from
this source, no improvement in prices may
be expected. This week we are told that a
large line of fourth quality 2% and 3x7-
inch redwood battens has been sold to a
London importer at £7 10s. f.o.b., which
is equivalant to a reduction of tenshillings
as compared with recent sales. So little
business has been done, and importers
show so little disposition to increase their
obligations, that it has been absolutely
necessary for shippers to reduce their
prices in order to effect sales. Importers
are still fighting: off the high prices asked
by Canadian shippers of spruce deals and
the lower qualities of pine deals, but so far
the sellers have shown no evidence that
they will modify their demands. The
situation is interesting if not encouraging,
and it remains to be seen which side will
weaken. The margin of profit to the
shipper at the prices asked is not large,
and as importers must be carrying light
stocks, it would seem that they must of
necessity replenish their supply in the near
future. A rather encouraging report
comes from West Hartlepool, where white
pine deals are finding a ready sale and
stocks are in a very limited compass.
The London dock stocks on March gist
last showed the following increases as
compared with one year ago: White pine
deals, 117,917 pieces ; pine battens, 92,-
143 pieces; pine ends, 45,332 pieces ;
spruce deals, 44,533 pieces; spruce ends,
63,707 pieces; white pine boards, 57,971
pieces; red pine boards, 67,358 pieces.
Red pine shows a decrease of 11,866
pieces of deals, 10,355 pieces of battens,
and 1,661 pieces of ends, and spruce
boards is in lighter supply by 17,105
pieces.

NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CANADA I,UMBERMAN.)
St. Jonn, N. B., April 16th, 1904.—
Cedar shingles: The opening up of trade
in this line has been later this spring than
for many years. Comparatively few are
being shipped, although inquiries are be-
coming more frequent and the outlook
grows more hopeful day by day. The
manfacturers are regaining confidence
and look forward to a prosperous season.
The output for this year promises to be
smaller than last year’s on account of the
protracted cold weather, which will cause
a very material shortness*of.the manu-
facturing season. The greater part of the
output will be Provincial, American logs
being scarcer and higher in price. The
Provincial cedars are smaller and produce
a lower percentage of high grades. There
has been practically no change in price
and those mentioned last month will still
apply.
The quantity of spruce shingles manu
factured in these parts is infinitesimal and
at present writing none are available.
Spruce clapboards: These are very
scarce and will remain so for the next two
months. They are worth at present f.o.b.
St. John, extras, $41; clears, $39; 2nd
clears, $37; No. 1, $30; No. 2, $20. With
each succeeding year clapboards are be-
coming scarcer, owing to the scarcity of

manufacture. In logs cut in the lower
provinces there are practically none that
will answer the purpose, while suitable
Aroostook and Quebec logs are compara-
tively few. Stocks of clapboards are ex-
tremely low and are practically controlled
by one firm, who would probably not sell
at any price that would give the buyer an
attractive margin.
Laths are decidedly firm and promise to
be scarce and high in price during the
coming year. It is ramoured that as high
a price as $2.55 f.o.b. St. John for
American laths has been offered. This
cannot be verified, but sales of large
quantities have been made during the past
month for-$2.45. Provincial laths are
worth from $2.20 to $2.25. The output
this year will be largely provincial. At
this season it is usual for many manufac-
turers to sell their year’s output of laths,
but this year is remarkable for a tendency
to hold on the prospect of a rise in price.
The quantity of laths on the wharves in
this vicinity does not exceed 800,000 and
it will be mid-June before any large ship-
ment will be ready to go forward. The
sales which have been made are principally
for summer and early fall delivery.
COAST SHINGLE MILLS. CLOSED,
At a meeting of the shing!e manufac-
turers of the state of Washington held at
Seattle on April 14th, at which 110 mills
were represented, it was decided to close
down for two weeks from April 23. The
meeting was composed of manufacturers
both outside and in the Interstate Red
Cedar Shingle Company, about equally
divided between the two interests. A
committee was appointed to confer with
the mills and secure signatures to the
agreement to close for the time specified.

THE GLASGOW MARKET.
Messrs. Edmiston & Mitchells, of Glas-
gow, report as follows concerning the
lumber market :
The usual quarterly statement of the
stock of logs and lumber at this date as
compared with. previous years is attached
herewith.
waney pine is 50 per cent. more than at
same date last year, but square pine shows

difference is perhaps shown in the stock of

the stock was abnormally low. In the

The most striking
though of quite moderate
is nothing particularly calling for atten-
tion, stocks generally being of moderate
dimensions. The consumption of logs and
lumber has heen of fairly satisfactory
dimensions, though under that of the first
three months of last year.
Contracting business has so far been
disappointing, Quebec shippers having ex-
perienced unusual difficulty in inducing
buyers to respond to the enhanced prices
this year, though this is perhaps not very
surprising in view of the fact that the trade
outlook by no means warrants too optimis-
tic a view of the future.
Business during the past month has been
rather dull on the whole, buying having

been pretty much of a retail nature, while
the tendency in prices has been easier.
In American hardwoods there has been
a fair demand for poplar logs and lumber,
but in low-grade stock the import has ex-
ceeded the demand, and shippers would
act wisely in curtailing shipments of such.
Oak boards have been in more active de-
mand, and high grades are scarce.
The shipbuilding returns for March show
that 27 vessels of 44,813 tons have been
launched, as compared with 12 vessels,
aggregating 35,000 tons, in same month
last year. It is gratifying to note that
new work has been a little more plentiful
during the month, although there still
remains lots of reaom for improvement in
this direction.
WHITE PinE—Business during the month
has been quiet. The import censists of
about 130 Icads via the United States.
Stocks are moving off slowly, one or two
small sales being reported, but nothing
doing in square timber.
Rep PineE—There has been
business and the stock is almost

small
exhausted, there being only about 70 loads
in first hands.
Oak—There have been rather more en-
quiries during the month, but these have
been met chiefly from the Southern States
wood on account of the cheaper price.
Quebec timber is difficult to move, and
stocks being heavy, prices are easier.
Etm—There has been a fair demand,
especially for large-sized rock elm, and
the stock of this class being small, prices
have firmed up considerably, 3s.'9d. to 3s.

Brands, all Choice Stock.
We own and operate several mills in Washington and British
Col mbia, being on both sides of the ‘‘Imaginary Line” known
a~ the [uternational Line, and it keeps our opponents in the trade
xuessing how to meet us on account of the good quality of our
manufactured stock, which has been so carefully planned that
even the selection of our timber lands in years past has something
to do with the present.
We find our competing salesmen’s story to the customers has
now got to be a ‘‘song pure and simp'e,’’ which they have
learned from necessity to sing loudly and lustily, and is as
follows: * JUST AS GOOD AS HASTINGS,” “JUST
AS GOOD AS HASTINGS.”
While we appreciate their holding our goods as models of per-
fection, which the high standard certainly merits, still looking at
the matter from the customer's and the consumer’s standpoint
we cannot see any advantage to you in buying an imitation when
the real article can be had through our representatives, viz :—

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The volume of lumber transactions is
about what might be expecied at this
season of the year. The quantity of stock
in first hands is now so small as to cause
the refusal of orders in many imstances,
Dealers who usually carry large stocks
are sold out of box lumber and certain
grades of pine for which the demand) was
exceptiunally large even during the winter
months. At least two months must elapse
before the new stock will be in shipping
condition and in the meantime some incon-
venience is likely to result to dealers and
users of pine lumber owing to‘short supply.
Doubtless substitution will/be resorted to
when it is expedient.to doso. Present
indications point to a late starting of the
mills in the northern pine districts, as the
ice is not yet out of the streams. The
drives will also be delayed from this cause.
Hardwoods are holding up in price, the
good.demand and scarcity of dry stock
being the sustaining influences. While the
general demand is not heavy, the furni-
ture and implement: factories are buying
liberally of elm, ash and birch. ‘Urgent
demand for immediate shipment indicates
that many retail dealers and ‘consumers
have light stocks on hand.
The disastrous fire in Toronto‘on the
21st inst., by which property to the ‘value
ot $12,000,000 was destroyed, will ‘stimu-
late building operations in that city. The
new buildings will likely be constructed of
fire-proof material as far as possible,’ thus
limiting the quantity of lumber which will |
be required.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Shippers of spruce lumber are not press-
ing sales but are patiently waiting the
course of events in Great Britian in the
hope that the lumber market will improve.
Those who are ina position: to do so will
no doubt hold their lumber until tate in the
season or until next spring, as present
prices showlittle or no profit on shipments.
The quantity of last year’s production still
in first hands is insignificant, and by the
time the new stock is ready for the market
conditions may be more favorable, At
Boston, New York, and all eastern points
spruce is in excellent demand. The pros-
pects for log driving are fairly good.
There is still plenty of snow in Eastern
Quebec and New Brunswick, .and the
weather continues cold. It is confidently
expected that the 40,000,000 feet of logs
in the ice above Grand Falls, on the St,
Jobn river, will be saved.
The outlook for higher prices for cedar
shingles is favorable. The production of
the best brands promises to be smaller
than last year, which will probably result
+

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
in higher prices, when this fact becomes
more generally known.
UNITED STATES.
Building operations in the United States
work having
been resumed in New York. While the
demand for lumber for this purpose is not
brisk, it shows some improvement over
the business of the previous weeks, As
the production of white pine lun.ber is
likely to show a pronounced reduction as
compared with that of last year, manu-
facturers are inclined to hold out for very
firm prices and consequently no slaughter
prices are heard of, as is {sometimes the
Eastern
are making some headway,
case at this season of the year.
dealers are not carrying heavy stocks and
are therefore in a position to take advan-
tage of any slight inducements that are
offered by sellers. The statistical position
of white pine is so strong that there is not
likely to be any pressure of stock, while
én the o.her hand, if the spring and sum-
mer trade should consume more lumber
than is anticipated, the result will no
doubt be an advance in scme grades at
least. The requirements of the box trade
have not yet been satisfied, that grade of
‘lumber being sought for almost as eagerly
as at any time this year. The middle
grades are perhaps called for to a smaller
extent than mill culls, box lumber and
uppers.
The percentage of dry hardwood lumber
that remains in piles is exceptionally
small and the demand is improving. The
standard hardwoods, such as maple, ash,
elm, and birch, are very firm at the ad-
vanced prices recently quoted. Basswood,
quartered oak and poplar, while display-
ing no particular weakness, are not as
firm as two weeks ago. Maple flooring
continues a weak feature in the market.
GREAT BRITAIN.
It cannot be expected that the British
timber trade will throw off its lethargy and’
become active within a week. The
recovery must of necessity be of slow
growth. As soon as signs of an improve-
ment are visible, however, there is certain
to be considerable contracting for. stock
for future delivery, as buyers will then ap-
preciate to a greater extent the low prices
which are now ruling. Many sm&4ll dealers
have allowed their stocks to become too
low and are now showing a disposition to
purchase at favorable opportunities.
Whether this will prove to be the fore-
ronner of a more liberal demand is a
question of much doubt. While prices of
Canadian pine continue comparatively
firm, it has been impossible to maintain
spruce Third quality Quebec

ly sold at a public sale at £8 15s. per
prices,
standard, whereas for similar goods
to arrive £9 2s. 6d. c.i.f. is asked.
These figures reflect the difficulty of
closing contracts on the basis of shippers’
ideas, their quotations being so much
lower than the prices asked for lumber in
stock. As far as can be ascertained, the
more important firms are still abstaining
from placing contracts for stock, but it
seems extremely doubtful that they will be
able to adhere to this position much
longer.
Swedish battens have recently declined
in price fully 1os. per standard, and it is
reported that stock offered at £6 12s. 6d.

For square timber there is a fair demand,

STOCKS AND PRICES.
J. P. Mosher expects to ship 700,000
feet of lumber from St. Martins, N. B.,
this season.
Of the 500,000,000 feet of logs taken
out in the State of Maine during the past
winter, it is estimated that half the quanti-
ty is destined for the pulp mills.
G. C. Gladman, of Parry Sound, has his
drive of logs, consisting of 258,000 pieces,
in the Georgian Bay, ready to be towed to
his mill as soon as the ice is out.
The Edward Hines Lumber Company
last week sold about 16,000,000 feet of
lumber to go east after the opening of
navigation. This will make about
60,000,000 feet sold by this firm for
movement by boat.
The R. Laidlaw Lumber Company ex-
pect to handle a large quantity of pine
lumber at their Buffalo yard this season.
They have taken the adjoining yard lake-
ward on the Ohio Basin, which will add
considerably to their facilities.
A settlement has been reached in the
suit affecting the bankrupt sale of logs
belonging to J. R. McConnell, which took
place at Quebec recently. The workmen
get 65 per cent. of their wages, and La-
forest, counsel for the lumbermen, gets to
per cent. on wages collected.
Saginaw River dealers will take in by
boat about 125,000,000 feet of lumber this
season, mostly from Ontario. Foss & Co.
have bought the steamer Ogemaw,of 500,-
ooo feet capacity, and will place her in

Holland, Graves, Mambert & George,
of Buffalo, have just purchased from the
Edward Hines Lumber Company, of
Chicago, the entire season's product to
October 1 of what is known as the Bige-
low mill at Washburn, Wis. This is the
first purchase of pine lumber the Buffalo
concern has made on Lake Superior.
The Inglewood Pulp Company, of Mus-
quash, N.B., will have about 10,000,000
feet of logs for sawing this season, the
necessity of cutting all logs damaged by
fire being responsible for increased opera-
tions. There is at Musquash a cargo of
deals owned by J. & L. B. Knight, which
will be shipped to England early in May:
in addition to this caryo a couple of ves-
sels are under charter to load here, one
for the United Kingdom, and the other for

Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Company
submit the following report of the Barba-
does markei: ‘‘A cargo of 166,000 feet of
white pine, from Liverpool, N. S., was
p'aced at $25 for shippers and $20 for
second quality, and we think that a simi-
lar cargo would bring about same
prices from dealers who did not secure
this lot. Spruce and hemlock are still in
full supply and stocks are not being re-
duced as quickly as is usual at this season.
The ‘‘Orinoco” brought down 96,000 Long
Gaspe shingles, which were placed at
$6.07. This class of shingles along with
Dimension are badly wanted and will
bring good prices. Cedar Laying, al-
though not scarce, would be saleable at
about $2.15, as a lot of 350,000 were im-
ported for a dealer’s account at $2.25, be-
ing of slightly better quality than usual.”

“April 27, 1904
= - der the Edward Hines Lumber Company
willl send 40,000,000 feet to its yards in
: Chicago. It is estimated that fully
~ 120,000,000 feet will be sawed too late in
the season to be available as dry lumber,
so that the surplus stock at the beginning
of this season is the lowest on record.
Messrs. Churchill & Sim, London,Eng.,
say: ‘“‘There has been more selling of
‘ pine deals in London than for some time
3 past. The specifications have been mis-
cellaneous and the prices on the whole as
good as could be expected. The drop is,
of course, considerable from the nominal
quotations tor good regular deals, but com-
pared with other things the level of price
continues high, affected doubtless by the
manifest impossibility of buying any
cheaper ahead. The consumption has,
» _ however, not been on a satisfacto.y scale.
_ Spruce deals and battens have also been
icecly sold at reductions. The consump-
tion of these has brightened up a little,
and the mardet is safeguarded by being
Wery unattractive for further supplies.
Oak has been a little more enquired for in
a retail way and also white pine timber,
- but birch, elm and ash have been quite
out of favour.”

HOO-HOO CONCATENATION AT
CHATHAM.
Mr. Walter C. Laidlaw, Vicegerent
Snark for Eastern Canada, has made ar-
rangements to hold a Hoo-Hoo Concate-
nation at Chatham, Ont., or the evening
of Friday, April 2gth. Mr. Charles Hed-
ley is chairman of the local committee, A
large contingent from Toronto will go
west to participate in the proceedings,and
as the hospitality of the ‘*Maple City" is
well-known, an enjoyable time may be
expected.
THE WHITE PINE TRADE.
A good share of the pine trade being
received by wholesalers indicates that
dealers are only sending in for stock to
fillorders secured from their customers.
For the last two years the retail lumber-
men have been letting their stocks run
down and to-day there is less lumber
piled in their yards than at any time dur-
ing the last ten years. The fact is gen-
erally admitted that if all the retail lum-
bermen in the northwest would put in a
stock equal ‘othe amount they carried
two years ago, says the Mississippi Valley
Lumberman, there would not be sufficient
left in the wholesale market to take care
of the local retail trade. While all the
wholesale companies are desirous of in-
creasing their business none of them
seem disposed to make any undue con-

cessions in order to stimulate trade. An
air of confident security seems to pervade
this branch of the lumber industry. Even
those with comparatively large stocks
apparently feel no uneasiness as to their
ability to market it all at present values.
They insist that stocks are light and no
more than sufficient to take care of trade
certain to develop in the next few months.
The amount to be manufactured this
coming year is going to be very much
less than any former season, which still
further convinces them of the advisability
of holding on to what stock they have on
hand. The majority of manufacturers
are in easy circumstances financially and
others have no difficulty in getting what
accommodation they need.
So farthe low price made on yellow
pine has not materially affected either the
sale orvalue of dimension, although it
may doso latér. The demand is princi-
pally for No. 1, 2 and 3 boards and their
products. Few wholesalers have any
considerable amount of No. 4 and 5
boards on hand and No. 3 is not plenti-
ful. Some buyers are negotiating with
the mills with a view to contracting for a
supply of low grade boards to be sawn
and delivered later. The high price de-
manded by the mill men has resulted in
few sales being made. There is consid-
erable demand for odd sizes in timber
for immediate delivery. There is com-
paratively little long timber on the mark-
et and-as the mills have not generally re-
sumed sawing, this class of stock 1s diffi-
cult tosecure. The urgent demand for
immediate shipment specified in some of
the orders being received is quite encour-
aging. Occasionally some dealer will
send in orders of this character without
first getting quotations and asking to be
given a fair chance price, but to be sure
to hurry the lumber along. When such
‘a jigger or small band saw.
orders include one hundred pieces of No.
2, 6 and 8 inch drop siding, it illustrates
very fully the depleted condition of the
retail stocks. Usually dealers order
straight cars of this class of material.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN. )
VANCOUVER, April 13th, 1904.—Lumber-
menjare joyous this week, as the most
glorious of summer weather has burst up-
on the coast, and operations im the woods
will soon be begun, Winter has hung on
long, in fact so much so intheinterior that
it is believed there will be a shortage in the
supply of lumber required for use in the
Territories and Manitoba. In Fernie and
other of the towns on the eastern boundary
the frost is still delaying things, and a
number of the mills have not yet started.
At present there is only about 10,000,000
feet of lumber cut in the whole of the
interior, but when spring operations be-
gin, things should be active. The Fernie
Lumber Company and the Crow’s Nest
Pass lumber Company each has 6,000,000
feet of logs ready, and there are 29 or 30
miles in the Kootenays, some of them of
large capacity.
Conditions are firm this week, prices
remaining the same as two weeks ago,
with all kinds of building materials in good
demand.
Although an announcement was made by
the C. P. R. that a reduction in the freight
rate on lumber to the Territories was to
be put into effect, it was somewhat mis-
leading. Hitherto the shipments from the
coast were subject to a tariff of go cents
per hundred pounds upon fir lumber, and
upon cedar and other lumber 50 cents per
too pounds. The tariff has now been
changed upon cedar and other lumber to
40 cents per 100 pounds upon dimension
and the lower grades up to that of ship-
lap, being the same rate as that of fir, but
upon grades of cedar and other lumber
better than the ship-lap grade the former
rate'of 50 cents per 100.pounds continues
in force. The coast manufacturers and
those in the Kootenay are coming into
competition, for the reduction in prices
announced by the mill men on the coast
is on ship-lap and the common grades of
lumber, which will compete with the white
pine and spruce lumber sawn in the inter-
ior. The Mountain manufacturers were
offered a reduction of two cents per 100
pounds between Swift Current and Broad-
view, if they would reduce the’ price of
lumber $1 per thousand feet to all custom-
ers east of McLeod. The proposal was
declined by the lumbermen, who agreed
to reduce the price as requested if the C.
P. R. would reduce its rates two cents
over the whole of the territory east of Mc-
Leod. There the matter stands at present.
_ It is reported that Loveland & Stone, of
Cutler, Ont., have sold the entire output

of their mill for the coming season, which —
is estimated at 30,000,000 feet.

We own and operate several mills in Washington and British
Columbia, being on both sides of the ‘‘ Imaginary Line” known
a~ the International Line, and it keeps our opponents in the trade
yuessing how to meet us on account of the good quality of our
manufactured stock, which has been so carefully planned that
even the selection of our timber landsin years past has something
to do with the present.
We find our competing salesmen’s story to the customers has
now got to be a ‘‘song pure and simple,” which they have
learned from necessity to sing loudly and lustily, and is as
follows : “JUST AS GOOD AS HASTINGS,” “JUST

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The better weather oyer the entire prev-
ince has been of material benefit in all
lines of business and in lumber in particu-
lar. The opening of navigation has facil-
itated the movement of stock; there has
been resumption of work at the mills, and
altogether greater activity is displayed.
The rebuilding of the burned district in
Toronto is under way, and this, with the
increasing demand for houses and store
property, promises to result in heavy
building operations and a large consump-
tion of lumber. The railways have been
unable to move but a small portion of the
sold lumber at the mills, and last week
were compelled to refuse to accept lumber
shipments owing to the great danger to
the culverts and embankments caused by
the spring freshets. While there is noth-
ing approaching a lumber famine in To-
ronto, the supply is comparatively light
and prices are held very firmly. The
principal demand appears to be for cheap
building lumber, as these grades in ship-
ping condition have passed almost entire-
ly out of first hands. Speaking provin-
cially, the market is no more than holding
its own. Buyers are waiting in the hope
that manufacturers’ prices may decline.
In some quarters reports of a break in
values are quite common, but investiga-
tion would indicate that such reports have
emanated from sources where the wish
has been father of the thought.. The
lists of the large mill men show absolutely
no decline, nor are they willing to give
II.
concessions of consequence to effect sales.
It is our opinion that there will be no sig-
nificant drop in white pine prices this
summer.

factory demand, in birch is the

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The spruce situation is not entirely void
of hope. Manufacturers are receiving an
mcreasing number of enquiries for stock
for shipment to the Eastern States, where
the supply of dry spruce lumber is scarcely
equal to the demand. While there is no
improvement in British business, the loss
in this trade will be offset in part by larger
shipments to the Eastern States, if events
bear out the present outlook. The leading
market feature this week is the decline in
lath prices in New York, to which point
large consignments have recently been
made. The decline ranges from ‘twenty-
five to fifty cents and has caused a very
irregular market. American laths are
quoted at St. John at $2.05 to $2.10, and
provincial laths at $1.80 to $1.85. A
recovery from these prices will no doubt
occur in the near future, as Jath
market in general is firm. Cedar shingles
are showing a little more strength but
prices are not quotably higher. For
Boston delivery best grade New Bruns-
wick cedars bring from $3.30 to $3.40.
The outlook for stream driving opera-
tions in New Brunswick has materially im-
proved. The ice is now out of the St.
John river and the work of driving is to be
commenced this week. The river has
the
risen quickly during the past few days,
and with the large quantity of snow which
still lies in the upper woods there is likely
to be a sufficient depth of water for driving
for some time to come. \ From present
appearances the 40,000,000 feet of last
year’s logs will reach the mills safely and
conditions are favorable for getting out
the new cut also.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
From the standpoint of demand and
consumption, the lumber market of the
North-West is in a healthy condition.
Building permits to the value of over $2,-
000,000 have already been taken out
in Winnipeg this year, and in the leading
British Columbia ‘cities and towns active
building operations are in progress. It is
estimated that between one hundred and
two hundred residences will be built in
CANADA LUMBERMAN
Vancouver before the rainy season sets in
next fall. The lumber dealers in Mani-
toba and the Territories are making pre-
parations for a large trade, the mills
having received an unusual number of
orders within the past fortnight. Great
difficulty is being experienced, however,
in filling orders owing to the shortage of
freight cars. Thisis no doubt due in part
to the recent tie-up of traffic by the slides
inthe mountains. Many of the orders,
also, are going to the mills across the
border, and the importation from that
field promises to be very heavy this year,
to the detriment of the business of the
Canadian manufacturers. The British
Columbia mills are now unable to ship
lumber into Washington, the collectors of
customs having added to the import duty
on lumber the amount of the alleged ex-
port tax imposed by the British Columbia
Government on timber, making the duty
on some grades of lumber as high as
$7.50 per thousand feet. The British
Columbia lumbermen have agin request-
ed the Dominion Government to take
steps to remedy the unfair conditions
which now exist, as a result of which
many mills are considering the question of
closing down. That conditions
should exist in the face of an active lum-
ber demand calls for immediate action on
the part of the Dominion Government.
such
UNITED STATES.
There hasnot been the increased activity
in lumber which was expected upon the
advent of spring weather. The demand
is rather_spasmodic and some dealers are
quite apathetic. The result is that a few
holders of stock are exhibiting some anx-
iety to realize, causing indications of
weakness in certain districts. Concessions
granted have been confined to narrow
limits, and in white pine to the higher
grades. Coarse lumber is about one dol-
lar higher than last year,this being the re-
sult of the abnormal demand for box-mak-
ing purposes. The building requirement
has not yet presented itself in full measure,
but there will no doubt be a heavy demand
from this source during the next few
weeks, as the outlook for building is con-
sidered good. The feeling at Buffalo and
Tonawanda is moderately hopeful. The
opening of navigation is welcome, as near-
ly all the box and low grade pine 1s in the
hands of the box-makers. Our list this week
shows a slight advance in the price of pine

GREAT BRITAIN,
The tone of the British lumber market is
slightly improved, the recent failures
having lost their effect to some extent.
Better weather has stimulated building
Operations and there seems to be less
apprehension of a further decline in prices.
Contracts for c.i.f. delivery cannot
yet be closed on basis of shippers’ ideas,
but the seller and buyer appear to be
getting a litle closer together. Spot
prices are holding up well, as merchants
are beginning to realize that the difference
between the price of lumber on band and
that asked for delivery this year does not
warrant them in sacrificing their stock.
The course of prices, however, largely
depends upon the question of demand,
and should a steady improvement take
place during the next few weeks, the
pessimistic feeling which has been so
prevalent would soon pass away.
At a recent public sale in London 3 x 11
inch spruce deals brought £8 15s. to £9
for second quality and £8 for thirds. First
quality Quepvec pine deals also sold some-
what low, but the lumber was scarcely up

market for laths a decided
slump. This was very unexpected and
was caused by heavy arrivals of Maine
laths during the last ten days, probably
trom twelve to fifteen millions having been
received. American laths are worth to-
day, f.o.b. St. John, from $2.05 to $2.10,
and Provincial trom $1.80 to $1.85 per M.
The dealers in this vicinity seem to feel
that the depression in laths will be only
temporary and that the situation will im-
prove rapidly as soon as some of the sur-
plus has been worked off, but at any rate
the market is very unsettled and it is im-
possible to make a forecast with any cer-
tainly of being correct.
The Fredericton Boom Company, of
Fredericton, N. B., succeeded in placing

BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
‘Vancouver, B.C., April 27, 1904. —Com-
mercial conditions in connection with the
lumber industry in British Columbia are
not very encouraging at the present time.
Prices are fluctuating, tending to a lower-
ing if anything, and the demoralization of
the market in the Northwest Territorities
and Manitoba is working great injury to
the mills. Mr. C. M. Beecher, vice-pre-
sident of the Hasting mill, known as the
B.C. Mills, Timber & Trading Company,has
announced that that large establishment
will close down. Export trade has fallen
off to some extent, and this has been one
of the chiet factors in the business of this
mill since its beginning. This combined
with the ruination of the Northwest mar-
ket kas completed matters, and unless
conditions materially change other mills
are operating for a shut-down. Logs are
plentiful, and as soon as the Pacific Coast
Lumber Company cuts its supply, it too
will close for an indefinite period. Mr. J.
G. Scott, the manager, fixes the date
abont September rst.
The mills in Washington state have tre-
mendously overcut, and some of the
shingle mills there have already been
closed down. The lumber manufacturers
have issued circulars to those engaged in
the trade here, asking them to close
down until the present supply is got rid of,
or say one day per week to curtail
production. It is on account of the great
quantity on hand in Washington that
British Columbia lumbermen are suffering.
The banks in that state force the mills to
pay up, and as a result they have to sac-
rifice their cut. To save their own mar-
ket they ship at cut prices to the Cana-
dian Northwest, and the market there is
flooded with rough lumber to the great
detriment of the trade of this province.
The Government so far has refused the
duty asked for, thinking it in the interests
Ill.
of the settlers that this should continue,
but it only means a convenience to the
American producer who is amply pro-
tected in his own country, and a forcing
of inactivity upon the British Columbia
mills, which may perhaps result in failure
to a large number unless relief comes
soon,

TIMBER LIMIT TRANSACTIONS.
R. McGregor, of New Glasgow, N. S.,
has purchased the timber limits and mill
property of the late C. W. Lantz at Mil-
ford,N.S. The purchase price was $29,500.
James A. Moore, of the Moore Invest-
ment Company, Seattle, Wash., is negoti_
ating for the purchase of 100,000 acres of
timber lands on Vancouver Island, B. Cc,
belonging to the Esquimalt and Nanaimo
Railway Company.
The Seattle Cedar Lumbering Com-
pany, said to be the wealthiest lumber
company in the world, has purchased what
are known as Stinson’s limits, in the Uc-
luelet district of British Columbia,and also
acquired a large block of timber li-
censes in Clayuquot district, in all about
60,000 acres. The company now has sur-
veyors in the field blocking out its limits,
May 4, 1904
to complete, and it is reported to be the —
intention to build mills at suitable points
and begin the manufacture of lumber for
export. Lumbermen look upon this trans-
action as of the greatest interest and im-
portance from the fact that it secures to
one firm a very considerable portion of the

We own and operate several mills in Washington and British
Columbia, being on both sides of the ‘ Imaginary Line” known
as the International Line, and it keeps our Opponents in the trade
guessing how to meet us on account of the good quality of our
manufactured stock, which has been so carefully planned that
even the selection of our timber lands in years past has something
to do with the present. .
We find our competing salesmen’s story to the customers has
now got to be a ‘‘song pure and simple,” which they have
learned from necessity to sing loudly and lustily, and is as
follows: “* JUST AS GOOD AS HASTINGS,” “JUST
AS GOOD AS HASTINGS.”
While we appreciate their holding our goods as models of per-
fection, which the high standard certainly merits, still looking at
the matter from the customer’s and the consumer’s standpoint
we cannot see any advantage to you in buying an imitation when
the real article can be had through our representatives, viz :—

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,
The improvement in the lumber trade
has been quite marked during the past
week, for which the fine weather is large-
ly responsible. The local demand for
material for building purposes has. quick-
ened, but the railroads are bringing in
the lumber very slowly. There is very
little dry stock at the mills, while the
lower grades are particularly scarce and
command high prices. Several transac-
tions have taken place in mill culls at
$11.50 f.0o.b. cars at the mill, which is
about $1 higher than a year ago. What
is known as scoots are selling at $7.50.
The higher grades, however, do not show
corresponding strength, as has been the
I.
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
rule for some time past. The log drives
are as yet in an uncertain position, and
should any number of them be tied up sharp
adyance in white pine lumber would be
the result. There has been liberal buying
by United States firms, it being estimated
that over 100,000,000 feet of this season’s
cut has been taken for shipment to Sag-
inaw and Bay City. There is consider-
able activity in hardwoods. Dealers are
open for stocks and manufacturers are
anxious to clean up their yards, if pos-
sible, before getting into the cut.
This accounts for some irregularity in

bia product is being felt quite keenly,
Present prices of B. C. shingles for On-
tario delivery are: XXX, $2.95; XXXX,
$3.15; XXXXX, $3.50.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,
The prospects for a fair demand for
lumber for local consumption are quite
favorable. Buying is proceeding with
some activity and prices are ruling firm.
Common lumber leads both in demand and
price, quotations being slightly in ad-
vance of those ruling last fall. This is
not the case with the higher grades of
lumber, which have been affected by the
talling off in the export business. In
Montreal some anxiety is displayed on
account of the attitude taken by some of
the trade unions in demanding an unreas-
onable scale of wages for the coming
season. A few minor strikes have already
taken place, but it is hoped that a satis-
factory settlement in all instances may be
reached at an early date so that building
operations may not be seriously interfered
with. Local trade in New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia has improved during the past
week, but the lumbér market as a whole
is unsettled. Merchantable spruce logs
have sold at Fredericton within the last
few days at $9.25 per thousand feet. This
is a decline of $1.50 as compared with one
vear ago, and reflects the depression which
prevails in the British trade. The shingle
market is firm, with New Brunswick ex-
tra cedars offered at $3.45 for Boston de-
livery.
UNITED STATES.
Fine weather has had its effect and im-
parted 2 more buoyant tone to the lumber
market. Retail dealers are placing orders
quite liberally and are accepting quota-
tions much more promptly than earlier in
the season. An inclination is shown to
put stocks in shape to handle the spring
a The Pearce Company |
and summer trade, whichis expected to
be of normal proportions. The quantity
of unsold stock at the mills is now very
light and dealers are finding some diffi-
culty in locating certain grades. There
will be a plentiful supply as soon as the
new cut is in shipping condition, but the
fact that much of the early output of the
mills has been contracted for gives a very
firm tone to such grades as are in light
supply. Inthe coarse grades of pine the
box requirement has absorbed everything
available, while Norway piece stuff has
been benefitted by the resumption of build-
ing operations ona large scale. There
will be a heavy movement of lumber from
the Lake Superior district to the whole-
sale distributing centres in the east, but as
retail dealers are practically bare of stock
no abnormal accumulation is likely to re-
Among the hardwoods, basswood
is showing a little weakness, but not suffi-
cient to cause any anxiety, as the present
condition of supply and demand will pre-
vent more temporary depression.
Birch still sells readily, and the demand
for lath is picking up.

than
GREAT BRITIAN,
The slight improvement in the British
lumber trade continues. The most favor-
able development of the past week has
been an increased consumption. The de-
liveries from the docks have been quite
large and the demand decidedly better
than it has been for some time past.
There has not been much improvement in
prices, however, although the results of
recent sales indicate a hardening tendency
for some lines. The recent drop in prices
made by Swedish shippers has encouraged
buyers to place contracts, although a few
are still holding off in the hope of buying
at rock bottom. Nevertheless, a large
quantity of stock has been placed during
the past fortnight, and there is no doubt
that the feeling in regard to the future is
more hopeful. As for Canadian lumber
the better qualities of pine deals
meeting with some demand and pine
stock boards and sidings are enquired for
frequently. There is also some enquiry
for Quebec spruce deals, but buyers are
still fighting the prices asked by shippers,
which are about £9 per standard for
thirds.
Canadian lumber has figured promin-
ently in recent public sales. Messrs. H.
& G. Curven, of Preston and Fleetwood,
sold a quantity of Quebec pine sidings,
said to contain 80 per cent. of first quality,
at from £20 ros to £24 tos per standard,
and a lot of strictly first quality at £27 to
£28. These prices are low as compared
with what is asked for this season’s de-

We think that a small cargo of white pine
would bring $25 for shippers and $20 for
second quality, while we cannot value
spruce at over $20. Hemlock is probably
worth about $17. Dimension and Gaspe
shingles are very scarce and next arrivals
will bring about last prices. Cedar Lay-

and we value next arrival, if not excessive,
at $2.15.”

Mr. W B. Bartram, lumber dealer, of
Ottawa, writes: ‘‘I am pleased with the
prompt way you forward the many replies
to my advertisements. I invariably get
satisfactory results.”
- LUMBER FREIGHT RATES.
The following is a new schedule of
lumber freights to govern during the pres-
ent season in the transportation of Jumber
from northern points via canal and Hudson
River to New York. This mew schedule
shows a considerable increase in freights
over those in vogue in past years.
The old rate was $2.50 ‘‘ alongside” on
__ pine and spruce from the Ottawa district
to New York, irrespective of dimensions,
with twenty-five cents additional for dis-
charging at New York, while the new
schedule, it will be ncted, is arranged on
a sliding scale governing the various sizes
and kinds of stock shipped.
_. Another important feature is that of
demurrage. Under the old arrangements
consignees had the benefit of four lay days
and the reportidg day, with demurrage at
One per cent of the gross freight for each
day thereafter, which in a majority of
cases usually did not exceed $3 per day
per boat.
The combination rail and water rate
from Ottawa to New York via Williams
Line from Albany is $3 for general lumber,
with twenty-five cents extra for shorts and
forty cents per thousand for stock less than
one inch.

CANADA LUMBERMAN
WEEKLY EDITION
THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CanalpDAa LuMBERMAN.)
Ottawa, May, 2, 1904.—After many
days waiting, word was received in the
city to-day that the ice had left the lakes
on the upper Ottawa and the creeks
tributary thereto, and that log driving
had commenced. This applies alike to
the Dumoine, Kippewa, Petewawa and
other lumber districts. The log drivers
in many instances Have been on the scene
for a fortnight waiting to dig in. While
there was some fear that the water would
run off before the ice left, and thus make
the creeks low for driving, such, fortu-
nately, has turned out not to be the case.
High water is reported and the prospects
are good for satisfactory movement of
logs. This is all the more desirable from
the fact that the start of the work isa
late one.
All the mills in the Ottawa district are
cutting. The Hawkesbury Lumber Com-
J. R. Booth, Sheppard & Morse, and W.
C. Edwards Company, Ottawa, Gilmour
& Hughson, Hull, Fraser & Company,
Deschenes, and Ritchie Bros., Aylmer.
There is a good supply of logs to keep
the saws busy until the spring drives
arrive.
From present indications there promises
to be an exceptionally good demana for
Ottawa district lumber this season, and
the saws will have their troubles keeping
up with the requirements. True the Eng?
lish market is dull, but then the spruce
that would be cut for that destination wil!
go to the States. Asa matter of fact the

that contracted heavily for spruce along
the lower St. Lawrence for the English
market, has on account of the dullness
therein placed its stock with American
buyers.
As far as pine is concerned, the manu-
bany was the first to start, followed DY yy facturers continue to hold the trump card
and dealers are obliged to pay stift prices.
if they hesitate the other fellow gets it.
A Georgian Bay operator noted for con-
servative views said in Ottawa a few
days ago that the log cut last winter
was fully 25 per cent. short and the cost
of production 3o per cent. higher on ac-
count of the deep snow and scarcity of
labor. He did not think the district could
fill all the demands made on it by the
States and Western Canada, and greater
attention would be paid the Ottawa dis-
trict.
A Buffalo dealer was here looking for
low grade lumber last week and enquiries
have been made for stuff for western
railway building. However, it’s hard to
see where the Ottawa district mills can
meet all the demands. The consumption
of lumber in and about Montreal alone
promises to be much bigger than usual.
Hardwoods are reported firm and ad-
vancing. Since November there has been
an advance in some lines of fifteen per
cent. The high price and Scarcity of
pine has turned attention in the Ottawa
district to cheaper substitutes, Poplar is
now being used extensively for box mak-
ing. :
All the representatives of the English
lumber firms have arrived to oversee the
loading and movement of deals, etc.
They speak pessimistically of the outlook,
which has been depressed since before
Easter. Intending purchasers of tele-
Phone poles should communicate with
Mr. Charles Desmarais, Hull, Quebec.
He has 4,000 in stock 25 to 60 feet.

NOTES FROM WASHINGTON.
(By our Travelling Representative. )
SEATTLE, April goth, 1904.—Of the 500
shingle mills in this state over ninety per
cent. have been closed during the past
week because of a lack of market for their
product, and also the prevalence of mar-
ket conditions that mean a loss to the lum-
bermen who continue to operate their
plants, unless their output has already
been contracted for. The estimated out-
put of these mills is 42,000,000 shingles
per day, and as they do not purpose re-
_CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
commencing work before Wednesday, the
4th May, therc will thus be a curtailment
of 420,000,000 shingles during the period
ot idleness
These conditions are not merely con-
fined to the shingle trade, but extend
generally in the lumber industry along the
entire Pacific slope. Already some 260
mill owners in this state and Oregon have
signified their willingness to close their
mills one day per week for an indefinite
period, while to the north the British
Columbia Lumber and Shingle Manufac-
(urers’ Association are unanimously agreed
o follow suit.
To remedy the adverse conditions now’
prevailing a committee of the Pacific
Coast Lumber Manofacturers’ Association
is about to confer with President J. J.
Hill, of the Great Northern Railway,
Howard Elliott, of the Northern Pacific,
ind E., H. Harrivaa, of the Union Paci-
fie system. While market conditions are
to be the primary cause of the conference,
the committee is instructed to negotiate
for a 40-cent rate into the Missouri river

territory, which will enable them to sell
in that region and result in the immedi-
ate restoration of market conditions here.
The principal obstacle the millmen ex-
pect to have to overcome is the r ted
opposition of Mr. Harriman, He is said
to be strongly opposed to the concession
and to have threatened the Great Nor-
thern and Northern Pacific with retalia-
tion if they granted the rate. The mill-
men are demanding that he attend the
conference and the degision of the rail-
road presidents be made unanimous.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. }
ONTARIO.
The developments of the past week in
lumber circles haye been negligible in
character, neither favoring the buyer nor
the seller. The outlook for the crops
furnishes some uncertainty, as the season
has been so backward that the growth has
been slow. Building operat ons, on the
other hand, are starting out well, which
has been reflected in an imp. oved country
demand for lumber. It is improbable that
there will be any important changes ino
either demand or prices in the near future;
rather a moderate volume of business
around current values is looked tcr. There
is u very satisfactory demand tor lumber
in Toionto, and hemlock and the lower
grades of pine are particularly fiem.
Moore hardweods are being offered than
for some time past, holders apparently
being anxious to close out their stocks be-
fore the cut of the summer mills comes on
the market. While offerings have been
heavier no weakness in prices fis resulted.
Maple has been quite active but the supply
has been sufficient to prevent an advance,
Birch is also selling freely.
Dissatisfaction is expressed with ‘the
shingle demand. Prices are at a point
which should encourage dealers to acquire
a supply in anticipation of the summer and
fall demand, but so far little disposition in
this direction has been shown. This may
be the result of the uncertainty regarding
future prices of red cedar shingles.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Information concerning the log drives
has been opposed to a recovery in lumber
prices. The drives in both Quebec and
New Brunswick are making very satistac-
tory progress, the different streams being
well supplied with water. If the entire
production of logs should come out safety,
there would be an an ample supply to keep
the mills in operation all season “and a
heavy production of lumber would result
unless the manufacturers should decide to
restrict the output. However, the critical
time has not yet passed and some of the
drives may eventually be hungup. Spruce
logs are selling at Fredericton at $9.50 per
thousand feet, and hemlock at from $4.50
to $5. There is a steady demand-for clap-
boards and the supply has become nearly
exhausted, but the production is likely to
be somewhat larger than last year.
New Brunswick cedar shingles still hold
around $3.40 for extras for Boston delivery.
The summer mills are resuming opera-
tions, which are likely to be lighter than
last year in some localities on account of
a small input of cedar logs.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
Permits for building's to the value of $2,-
300,000 have already been taken out in
Winnipey this year. There is consequent-
ly avery active demand for lumber for
building purposes. Railway work is also
calling for considerable dimension. timber,
Mr. J. D. McArthur, of Winnipeg, having
recently received a contract to build 500
miles of the Canadian Northern line to Ed-
monton. Building is active at Vancouver,
Victoria and New Westminster, as well as
al interior points in British Columbia. Crop
prospects throughout Manitoba and the
Territories are favorable, and altogether
the outlook is for a larger consumption of
lumber by the west than in any previous
year. A new scale of prices has been is-
sued bythe British Columbia manufac-
turers, in which moderate reductions are
the rule. This will encourage the con-
-utnption of lumber and, it is hoped,prevent
serious over-production. The latter con-
d tion, however, is almost certain to be ex-
perienced unless some tax is placed upon
imports from the United States.
UNITED STATES.
Con pared with one year ago the lumber
trade of the United States does not make
a very satisfactory showing. The country
demand has been slow, but this is believed
to be largely due to the backward season.
The demand for building lumber has not,
until the past two weeks, shown much act-
ivity, but a pronounced revival has now
set in and the outlook is much improved.
In the New York district the feeling is
quite hopeful owing to the fact that there
are no labor difficultics of any moment.
None of the eastern distributing markets
are carrying heavy stocks of anything ex-
cepting the higher grades of pine, and
these will no doubt find a market dnring
the season. The stock of box lumber is
practically exhausted and prices are very
firm. The barn grades have dissapeared
also to a large extent, and there isa dis-
position to mark up prices. From
Cleveland, Ohio, comes the report of a
large trade in No. 4 boards and No. 1 and
2 common pine. The supply of dry spruce
is scarcely equal to the demand, prices at
Boston being as follows: 9 in. and under,
$19; 10 and 12 inch, $21; randoms, $17.50
to $20.50, the latter figure being asked
for 2 x 10 and 12 inch.
The whole shingle market has been
unsettled by the weakness of red cedars.
The movement inaugurated to close down
the shingle mills in Washington did not
terminate very satisfactorily, some of the
manufacturers opening their mills before
the specified date, which resulted in the
Interstate Red Cedar Shingle Company
rescinding the shut-down injunction. At
a meeting of the North-Western Cedar
Manufacturers’ Association at Escanaba,
Mich., on May 6th, it was stated that the
production of white cedar shingles would
be less than had been expected, as the low
price of shingles had discouraged many
small operators from putting in logs and
wherever possible the timber will be con-
verted into other cedar products. There
has been an average decline of about 10
cents in the price of white pine shingles,
and the situation at the present time is not
satisfactory.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The outlook for lumber in the British
market is no doubt improving. The
building trade is more active as the re-
sult of better weather and the impression
that prices will go lower seems to be less
general. Some stocks of spruce are said
to have been sold at a very low price, but
as the exact figure nas been concealed,
the trade has accepted the state-
ment with some doubt. Best quality pine
deals are moving quite freely, but the in-
ferior qualities are slow of sale. The pre-
sent stock at the London docks is consid-
erably heavier than one year ago, and
until this is reduced there will be enough
pressure to sell to prevent an advance in
prices. White pine deals on the London
docks show an increase of 125,419 pieces ;
battens, 95,343 pieces; ends, 44,675
pieces; spruce deals, 23,389 pieces; spruce
battens, 83,657 pieces ; white pine boards,
46,859 pieces; red pine boards, 68,227
pieces. The stock of red pine deals and
battens is less than one year ago. Waney
and square pine are going into consump-
tion slowly and the stock is heavy. The
supply at Liverpool and adjacent ports is
98,000 cubic feet of square pine and 4o,-
ooo cubic feet of waney pine, as compared
with 29,000 feet and 48,000 feet one year
ago. Birch shows a reduction of 88,000
feet from 1903 and 137,000 feet from 1goz,
and enquiries are more numerous.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
C. P. Easton & Company are about to
commence sawing operations at their new
mill near Quebec. They expect to cut
about 12,000,000 feet this season.
A statement of the winter port business
for the past season shows that the various
steamers Sailing from St. John, N. B., to
the British ports, carried 48,000,000 feet
of deals and other long lumber.
John E. Moore, of St. John, N. B., is
reportec to have sold his winter cut of logs
to the St. George Pulp & Paper Company,
of St. George. This would indicate that
he will not. do any sawing at Bonny
River this season. Mr. Moore expects
that his 3,000,000 feet of logs hung up on
the Oromocto river will come out safely.
There has been a slight decline in the
price of slack staves and heading, but
there is no surplus stock. Jobbers at But-
falo quote dry elm flour barrel staves at
$11.50 to $12 for first class; basswood
heading, 8 to 8% cents for first class, 6
- cents for second class; coiled hoops, $8.-
50 to $9 for 534-foot ; $9 to $9.50 for 6-
foot.
Large quantities of ties are being taken
out in the vicinity of Cranbrook, B. C.
Last year the East Kootenay Lumber
Company turnished 750,000 ties and this
year will repeat the order. In addition
500,000 will be furnished by other com-

The first vessel to come down the lakes
with lumber ‘this year was the steamer
James Fisk, loaded with 750,000 feet of
white pine at Cutler, Ont., for the Imperial
Lumber Company’s yards at North Tona-
wanda. The Imperial Lumber Company
have purchased about 10,000,000 feet of
white pine in the Georgian Bay district for
shipment to Tonawanda by vessel this
season.

THE SOUTH AFRICAN MARKET.
The lumber trade with South Africa
which a few years ago was expected to
have played no small part in Canadian
business, especially in the line of red and
white pine, appears to have fallen ex-
ceedingly_flat, and there is little, if any-
thing, in prospect for the coming season.
This in a large measure is attributed to
the conditions prevailing in the United
States, the trade there throwing them-
selves open to supply that market with
ready dressed stuff of all descriptions
(including doors, sashes and tongued and
grooved boards) at prices at which dealers
here found it difficult to compete. The
American enterprise was particularly
marked immediately following the close
of the South African war, when cargoes
were quickly cushed in, and so complete
has been the success that not only has it
made itself felt in checking Canadian
export, but also in menacing the Euro-
pean markets too.
It might be interesting here to nole
that within comparatively recent date
seven cargoes of lumber consigned to
Scuth Africa from the Baltic were re-
consigned to the London market, after
reaching the South African port, it having
been impossible to place it on that market
on a paying basis. A condition such as

THE NEW BRUNSWICK DRIVES.

the Nashwaak river and tributaries were
moving rapidly. The Arnold Brook and
Cross Creek drives were in safe waters
and it is believed that the whole drive
will be out in the course of a few days.
Very encouraging reports were received
on May 12, the water having risen over
four feet at Andover and two feet at
Edmundston in one day. About 55,000,-
000 feet of logs were then in the booms of
the Fredericton Boom Company, 20,000,-
ooo feet being in the Mitchell boom, and
35,000,000 feet in the booms at Sugar

as a set-off to this there is a teeling that
the general trade of the country is on the
wane, and consequently the market will
not be able to absorb its normal quantity
of wood goods. As ‘o this, much will de-
pend upon the shipbuilding and house-
building industries, which are meantime
inclined to be iractive. In hardwoods
there has betn a falling away in the de-
mand recently, and this is particularly
observable in the case of low-grade Pop-

with a consequent easing of prices.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
2 ONTARIO.
Conditions in the lumber trade are
about normal, the volume of demand be-
ing perhaps a little less than in the spring
of 1903. Some dealers are buying very
cautiously, only taking stocks when the
price seems to offer an inducement, while
others are more courageous and are buy-
ing quite liberally practically at the manu-
facturer’s quotations. Mill run pine is, if
anything, held a little higher than last
year, this increase being intended to
cover the additional cost of logging.
There has been quite heavy buying of
mill culls at last year’s figures, but dead
culls have not been taken so readily. In
the better grades, especially 114 inch, the
demand is slower. Prices now asked are
so high that sash and door manufacturers
are looking for something cheaper to
meet part of their requirements, but as
pine is getting less plentiful each year
manufacturers are showing little disposi-
tion to lower prices. The depleted con-
dition of dry stocks is a sustaining feature
of the white pine market.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
May 25, 1904
The scarcity of low grade pine is result-
ing in benefit to hemlock, which is quite
active. Manufacturers have more orders
than they can fill and are far behird in
shipments. Current prices at the mills on
the Georgian Bay for two inch stuff are
$12.50 for 12 foot lengths, $13 for 10 to 16
feet, $15 for 18 feet, and $16 for 20 feet.
These prices are likely to rule for some
time at least.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
An unexpected change in the log drive
situation has taken place. While one
week ago the indications were that all
the new logs would reach the mills, there
is now a strong probability that a large
percentage of them will be hung up unless
rain should check the fall of water in the
streams. The St. John river was on the
2oth inst. falling rapidly, and it was esti-
mated that 50,000,000 feet of logs would
become stranded, at least temporarily.
This condition has improved the tone of
the lumber market, although dealers are
still moving very cautiously in their buy-
ing operations. Spruce logs recently sold
at Fredericton brought only $9 per thou-
sand feet, while hemlock sold as low as $4.
New Brunswick cedar shingles are %ell-
ing from $3.25 to $3.40 for extras on Bos-
ton rate of freight, the smaller manufac-
turers seeming a little nervous and ac-
cepting the former price. It is doubtful
whether there will be much improvement
in the shingle market during the summer
months.
UNITED STATES.
The lumber demand in the United States
is, as a whole, somewhat disappointing.
Country trade is slow, for which the back-
ward crop season is largely responsible,
and the activity in the cities is not suffici-
ent to counteract the falling off in country
orders. From Buffalo eastward, white
pine is held very firmly, as stocks have
been reduced below an average, and the
freight tie-up on the upper lakes has stop-
ped the movement of lumber to the eastern
markets. Sales of white pine are not large
nor has the demand assumed as large pro-
portions as was anticipated earlier in the
season. At afew points, however, increas-
ed buying is reported. In Chicago the
lower grades and Norway dimension are
selling well, the door factories taking large
quantities of common boards. In yellow
pine prices are inclined to tavor the buyer
rather than the producer, the latter being
inclined to offer concessions in order to
effect sales.
Hardwood stocks are accumulating at
some points, and for the first time this
year the tendency of prices appears to be
easier. There has been a decline in the
price of white quartered oak owing to
production being stimulated unduly by the
high prices, but at the decline there has
been liberal buying. Red and white oak
have held up well. Basswood is quoted
at $22 to $24 at the mills, while ash is in
limited supply at $20 to $21, and elm at
$20 to $22. There isa growing demand
for birch.
The call for white cedar products is
hardly up to the mark. Prices are not
satisfactory, although a slight improve-
ment is reported in some items. The de-
mand for poles is about the best feature
of the market. Cedar ties are meeting
with increased enquiry, but cedar shin-—
gles are very dull.
GREAT BRITAIN.
For the first four months of this year
the imports of sawn lumber into the United
Kingdom were 651,509 loads, as against
732,726 loads for the corresponding period
of 1903. During the month of April only
181,756 loads were imported, compared
with 320,373 loads in the same month last
year. The lighter imports have been very
beneficial to the market, and while the re-
duction in stocks is proceeding very slow-
ly, the situation is,healthier than at any
previous time this year. The decline in
prices of Swedish deals and battens has
been quite marked, but it is now believed
to have culminated and a moderate re-
covery would seem to be the order, par-
ticularly as the consumpticn of lumber
is steadly improving. Business for c.i.f.
delivery is also more active, and the
basis of prices is better understood.
The competition of Baltic lumber affected
Canadian spruce and Norway pine disas-
trously, but the prices of white pine are
holding up remarkably well, and the indic-
ations are that buyers will advance their
figures in order to obtain a supply of the
higher grades of pine which are so essen-
tial for some purposes. More disposition
is being shown to operate in Quebec
spruce with a view to supplying the wants
of the box trade and other customers, and
the feeling in regard to this lumber is less
pessimistic. A few importers have pur-
chased considerable quantities of New
Brunswick spruce, there being a good
demand for the smaller sizes.

Under date of May 7th Messrs. S. P.
Musson, Son & Company, of Barbadoes,
say that considerable inroads have been
made in stocks lately, and while dealers
cannot be said to be bare, they think
moderate arrivals of both white pine and
spruce would bring fair prices. They
value first arrivals of former at $25 to $26
tor shippers, $20 to $21 for second quality;
spruce at from $19 to $20. A lot of
158,000 Gaspe shingles, ex ‘‘Dahome”,
were sold at $6.10 for 100,000, the balance
bringing $7.29. This latter price cannot
be regarded as a criterion of value, but as
shingles are still scarce, the former price
could be obtained for further shipments.
There have not been any arrivals of
Dimension, and these would bring remun-
eralive prices if quantities were not large.
Cedar Laying are not in as great demand
as former descriptions, and are valued in
the vicinity of $2,15 for fair quality.

The logs included a considerable quantity

NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER.
(Correspontence of the Canapa LUMBERMAN.)
St. JOHN, N.B., May sogth, tgo04. In
regard to English deals, the impression
seems to have got abroad that the market
is off and likely to be less firm. Reports
to this effect have been in circulation in
lumber selling circles for some months
This causes a lack of confidence
and ar eagerness to sell on the part of
past.
many dealers that may havea tendency to
force prices down. But those who are in
a position to judge say that the anxiety is
not well founded. While it is true that
Canadian spruce will not bring the prices
of last year, the falling off in price does
not warrant a too pessimistic view of the
future. Most of the manufacturers in this
section are looking forward, not to extra-
ordinary margins, but to a moderately
brisk demand and fairly good prices.
This view of the situation is apparently
justified by a marked increase in the num-
ber of enquiries and some large sales
which were made tor early fall delivery.
There is no long lumber of any kind
available at this port and there will pro-
bably be none until July 1st as the balance
of last year’s outputs were entirely cleaned
up over a month ago and only a few of the
mills have received logs to saw. Logs
will be coming along freely by the end of
May, but not before the date mentioned
above will there be any quantity of lumber
ready to ship.
In regard to price: There is no doubt
that a specification containing say 4o per
cent. 7s and 8s, 40 per cent. gs, and 20
per cent. wides, of a fair average length,
would be worth in the vicinity of $12.75
per M., f.o.b. St. John, % price for fourths
and ends.
- Pine and hemlock are both scarce and
high in price, the former particularly so.
The probabilities are that very little of
the St.
John River this year, and even what is
either will be manufactured on
procurable will be chiefly American and
therefore very high in price. The greater
part of the pine manufactured here this
year will be used locally. A quantity, not
sufficiently large to be important, of hem-
lock boards will be available some time
next month or in July. These will pro-
bably bring in the vicinity of $11 per M.
COOPERAGE STOCK.
The Sutherland Innes Company of Chat-
ham, Oat., under date of May 18, furnish
the following review of the cooperage stock
market:
The season for the production of coop-
erage stock for placing on the market
has been a very backward one this year,
and very little of this year's manufacture
has, so far, been placed on the market,
especially The weather has
been unfavorable up till recently, but now
in staves.
that the weather is getting better it is ex-
pected that the coopers will be able to get
sufficient stock tokeep them running in-
stead of having to lie idle a great part of
the time, as they have had to do for the
last six months. The stocks at the mills
this year vary greatly. At some points
good stocks have been put in, while in the
northern districts the stocks put in are
very light on account of the snow being
too deep to do the lumbering satisfactorily.
The supply at che present time is away
below the demand, but it is expected, with
favorable weather, that this will be rectified
ina short time. It is doubtful however if
there will be enough stock to go around
this year especially if there isa good apple
crop, and at the present time reports are
that the trees have come through the wiat-

The manufacturers of cooperage stock are
determined this year that if there is any-

summer for trucking, they will strain every
nerve to get in a supply of logs, soas to be
able to furnish all the apple barrel stock

made from logs that have been tucked in,

Under the influence of a moderate de-
mand, the lumber market maintainsa steady
tone. Prospects for the future have been
improved by the better outlook for the
crops. The bulletin issued by the Ontario
Department of Agriculture calls attention
to the damage to fall wheat by winter kill-
ing, but since the beginning of May ‘the
weather has been favorable for the re-
cuperation of the crop and the latest re-
ports indicate that many of the fields are
making an encouraging recovery. A large
yield of grain will likely bring about a
heavy demand for lumber in the fall. Pres-
ent shipments to the United States are not
all that might be desired, but dealers re-
port a very satisfactory local trade, with
no signs of an early falling oft. There may
be a readjustment of prices after midsum-
mer on account of the usual inactivity pre-
ceding the Presidential election across the
border, but the general average is not likely
to be reduced materially. Hardwoods are
meeting with a ready sale. The old stock
is practically cleaned out and dealers have
experienced some difficulty in filling ord-

lead in point of activity. An
inquiry for beech is reported. One year
ago this lumber was selling at $14 for log
run, while sales have recently been made
at $18. It has been found to be a very
satisfactory substitute for certain higher-
priced woods.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The spruce lumber market is still in an
unsettled condition. Some shipments are
being made to the United States, but
there is very little buying for the British
market, The price of merchantable
spruce logs is now about $9 per thousand,
and that of lumber $11 per thousand.
This is a decline of over $2 as compared
with the prices ruling one year ago.
There is practically no demand for logs at
the present time, and mill men who con-
tracted for their supply some time ago at
higher prices will sustain heavy losses
unless conditions improve. The financial
embarrassment of a large Fredericton
lumberman, referred to elsewhere, has em-
phasized the necessity of taking every
precaution against possible loss. There
are two factors, however, that are favor-
able to the lumber market. The first is
that the stock of dry lumber carried over
from last year was very small, and the
second is the probability that a large per-
centage of the logs taken out the past
winter will not reach the mills this year.

The St. John river has fallen fully five feet
from the highest level reached this spring.
Estimates of the quantity of logs which
may be hung up range from 30,000,000
feet to 60,000,000 feet. While there is so
much uncertainty as to the log drives,
there is little possibility of lumber prices
going any lower, while in the natural
course of events they should improve
somewhat.
UNITED STATES.
The developments in the United States
lumber market during the past week call
for no lengthy comment. The country
demand continues very slow. In some dis-
tricts there is a disposition to crowd stock
on buyers, with the result that prices have
an easier appearance. Dealers are not
buying in large lots, believing that this is
the safest course to pursue until genera}
business conditions improve. Under the
influence of warm weather the crops are
looking better. Corn planting has been
completed and the growth is beginning to
make headway. The demand for low
grade pine lumber is quite up to the mark,
but other grades are dull. Hardwoods
are moving in moderate volume, maple,
basswood and elm furnishing the most
_ activity. The latter is scarce in the Tona-
wanda, Buffalo, and other eastern markets,
and prices on this lumber are likely to
remain very firm throughout the summer.
Thick maple sells well.
The demand for shingles is only moder-
ate. Red cedars have declined fifteen
cents within the past three weeks. White
Pine shingles are scarce on account of the
Jake tie-up, which has kept prices firm.
Lath is picking up as the amount of build-
ing increases,
GREAT BRITIAN.
Contracting for the future is still being
conducted by British lumber merchants
upon most limited lines. While there has
been some improvement in the demand,
there still exists a feeling that existing
Conditions will prevent more than a very
moderate rise in prices from the present
basis. Without wishing to inspire false
hopes, however, it may be said that prices
are not likely to gomuchlower. The con-
sumption is making considerable inroads
upon yard stocks, and as the quantity con-
tracted for is exceptionally small, it is
_ quite possible that when the dealers enter
the market to replenish their stocks it will
bring about an advance in prices. Repre-

BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
VANCOUVER, May 23rd,
there is some relief in the way of duty,
1904.-—Until
prices will not amount to much in connect-
ion with the trade with the Territories.
So much lumber is being dumped into that
market that it is completely demoralized,
and as the Americans are selling for what
it will bring in most cases, prices cannot
be maintained by the British Columbia
lumbermen. The American wants cash,
and he considers it a snap to be able to
dispose of the large surplus of rough lum-
ber in some market other than his own.
What he loses on that he makes up on the
finer grades, for which there a ready de-
mand and good prices in his own country.
Then, too, the difference is made up in the
middle western states, where a sufficient
increase is put on rough lumber to offset
the loss of disposing at a sacrifice in the
Canadian Territories. What trade comes
to this province is only in competition with
the ruinous prices inaugurated by the man-
ufacturers in Washington state. Thisis one
of the reasons that the Hastings mill, the
largest establishment of the B. C. Mills,
Timber & Trading Company, has shut
down, and more will follow very soon,
All the Boards of Trade on the Coast,as-
sisted by many in the interior, have taken
the matter up, and memorials which have
been addressed to the government at Ot-
tawa since 1896 have been supplemented,
and a representative deputation will wait
on the Government this week to ask for an
equalization of the tariffs, Free trade
they prefer, but at least an equalization.
This deputation is composed of Mr. John,
Hendry, president ot the B. C. Mills, Tim-
ber & Trading Company, of Vancouver ;
Mr. A. C. Flumerfelt, of Victoria, and Mr.
Harry Watson, a promiaent member of the
Vancouver Board of Trade. They will be
presented and assisted by the British Col-
umbia members, all of whom favor the
lumbermen's requests.
Mr. George McCormick, of Orillia, On-
tario, one of the stockholders of the Paci-
fic Coast Lumber Company of this city,
and one of the principals in the Kamloops
Lumber Company, which has recently
been re-organized, was in the city last
week. The reputed cause of his flying
visit to the coast was to tender the pay-
ment of dues on timber on land which
was to be auctioned by the Government.
We had held it for a number of years,
knowing that the Vancouver, Westmin-
ster & Yukon railway was to go through,
and would afford him transportation facili-
lies to get the timber out, and now when
the time has arrived, and fhe railway
under course of construction, his dues are
refused, and the land with the timber on
it will go.
New freight schedules on lumber and
shingles have been issued by the C.P.R.
to the manufacturers in the Kootenay,
into the
who are organized Mountain
Lumber Manufacturers’ Association. A
reduction of 2 cents per too pounds has
Jane 1, 1904
been granted. As green lumber weighs
about 3,000 pounds to the 1,000 feet, the
reduction amounts to 60 cents per 1,000
feet on green lumber, and less on kiln
dried lumber, In return for the concession,

BUSINESS NOTES.
The lumber trade learned with regret of
the financial embarrassment of Robert A,
Estey, who conducted large Operations on
the Tobique and Rockaway rivers, with
mills at Fredericton, N.B. The failure is
attributed to Mr. Estey’s impaired health
and to the depression in the lumber trade.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The past week’s movement of lumber
has been rather disappointing. There
has been little evidence of an expansion
in the demand, and while the conditions
do not justify a pessimistic view of the
future, it is believed that the volume of
the year’s business will compare unfavor-
ably with that of last year. The percent-
age of the mill production placed under
contract is considerably smaller than at
the corresponding time one year ago.
The lower grades of pine continue quite
firm, but on the higher grades the manu-

promises to ‘be an important factor in the
demand. Hemlock lumber and _ timber
meets with ready sale; and on this class
of stock there has been no shading of
prices. For hemlock, 4 to 10
inches wide and 10 to 16 feet in length,the
2-inch
average price at the mill is $12.50. Lath,

Spruce lumber has been affected some-
what by the rainy weather during the past

export to the Eastern States has been fair.
There is no material change in quotations.
The outlook for clapboards is bright and
price changes during the summer months
are likely to be in the direction of an
advance. Lath prices are still weak, but
as the production promises to be light a
recovery sooner or later seems assured,
Extras and clears in cedar shingles are in
good demand, while the lower grades are

Reports from the drives are more en-

UNITED STATES,
There has not been
a great deal of
activity in lumber circles during the past
week, but sufficient buying has been done
to hold prices firm. The stocks carried by
dealers are considerably lighter than one
year ago, as the fear of a quiet summnier,
partly on account of the forthcoming
presidential election, has caused buyers to
pursue a conservative policy. Retail deal-
ers in the Eastern States are simply buying

improved as was expected. Sales are only
moderate, while the quantity of stock

some points prices are said to be a little
easier. Plain sawed oak is now in more

GREAT BRITAIN,
Any change in the British lumber market
seems to havebeen in the direction of an im-
provement. The opinicn is gaining ground
that the bottom fhas been touched in the
matter of price, and dealers are showing
more dispositionto purchase stock for con-
tracts entered into some time ago. They
recognize that a costly mistake may be
made by neglecting to purchase the neces-
sary supplies at the present Jow figures.
The comsumption of lumber also is more
active, building operations in the London
district and suburbs being on quite a liber-
al scale. The Timber News reports the
purchase of a quantity of first quality broad
pine deals at between £34 and £35 per
standard c. i. f. London, and some 11 inch
at $31, all wintered deals, also a quantity
of this seasons’s production at practically
the same figures. The second and third

(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN)
OTTAWA, June 2, 1904.—The future of
the lumber trade as far as the Ottawa
district is concerned is problematic. True,
prices are firm with no likelihood of re-
ceding, but just at present business is
slow. Some of tie firms admit this, and
the railways corroborate their statements.
Discussing the stuation, a railway official
said to-day, ‘‘ The Canadians seem to be
losing their grip on .be New England
market. We are shipping very little into
that quarter. The southern woods seem

to have driven the Canadian pine out.
Our spruce alone seems to be holding its
own in the New England market.”
Prices in Ottawa show no change from
the figures of the past few weeks. All is
activity about the mills, at which there
seems to be a plentitude of logs. The
river is literally floored with last season's
stock, of which there will be sufficient to
keep the saws going until the new drives
come down. The high water in the river
interfered with shipping at the Hull docks,
delayed the commencement of operations
at the Edwards mill at Rockland, and
also caused a suspension of opera-
ations at the Perley mill at Calumet.
According to some official reports the
cut of square timber in the Georgian Bay,
Ottawa, and Nipissing districts last win-
ter was considerably in excess of that of
previons years. In all about 2,500,000
feet of square timber was cut, as against
2,000,000 feet the season previous. While
several firms, including Shepard & Morse,
Rideau Lumber Company and the late
Robert Hurdman, dropped out of this
branch of the business last winter, other
firms took it up, cutting principally in the
Georgian Bay and Nipissing districts, and
partly on the territory that was sold by
the Ontario Government last December.

(Correspondence of the Canapa TUMBERMAN. )
St. JOHN, N. B., June 2nd, 1904.---The
market for short lumber is just at present
parts by 25 per cent. as was the case last
year, as the mills are six weeks late in
Starting and most of the logs are smaller
than usual, which Jatter will cause a
scarcity of lath wood. At present there
is not more than one million laths avail-
able in this county, and these are divided
among several mills. These could prob-
ably be bought at from $1.90 to $2.00 per
somewhat depressed. The late slump in
the price of laths has not been recovered,
and it is altogether probable that there
will be no change until the large arrivals M., f.o.b. St. John, for American, and
of the past month have been worked off from $1.65 to $1.75 for Provincial.
the Boston and New York markets. Shingles : No spruce shingles are at
present available, There may be a few
later in the season, but the amount will
not be important. The demand fer the
higher grades of cedar shingles is
moderately brisk in the U.S. market.
Clears are especially in demand, ana the
manufacturers here are having some diffi-
culty in filling orders for this quality.
Laths of all kinds, and especially
American, are scarce in this vicinity, the
wharves being practically bare. A few
manufacturers had sold out their season's
cut before the drop came.
Taking it altogether, there will not be
there are more of these manufactured
than there are of Clears, the stocks
increase more rapidly. The call for lower
grades is not at all brisk, but this is to be
expected, as it has been the case for
several years past. Most of these lower
grades are disposed ot locally at a geod
figure.
American shingles will be scarcer here
than for many years, as in the Vicinity of
75 per cent. of the cedar about to be sawn
was cut in Quebec and New Brunswick.
There is practically no change in prices,
and those mentioned last month will still
apply. In regard to the future the manu-
facturers are not looking for any change
of importance. The feeling seems to be
that shingles will not be any lower, but,
this being a presidential election year, no
great stimulation of trade can be looked
i
Clapboards ; There are no clapboard;
to be bought in this Vicinity at present,
The outlook is that they will bey.
scarce, and the price will, if there be a
change, be higher,
A market that is attracting considerable :
attention from the manufacturers here
just now is that for refuse lumber in the
Eastern States, particularly in Boston and
vicinity,
creased during the last few seasons, and
has been briskly resumed this year. For-
merly the lumbermen were glad to get rid
of their refuse at any price, but, owing to
the demand spoken off, it has steadily in-
creased in value, and it is to-day so scarce
that it is difficult to buy even a small lot.
American refuse deals can be easily dis-
posed of at $5.00 per M. f.o.b. St. John,
and scantling and boards at $6.00 per M.
as many laths manufactured in these Extras, too, are easily disposed of, but as for.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,
We must confess to some disappoint-
ment with the volume of the lumber de-
mand. Up to the present time the activ-
ity which was predicted a month or six
weeks ago has not materialized, and mid-
summer is not usually the time when there
is an expansion in business. While the
consumption of lumber is moderately act-
ive, there is a pronounced disposition on
the part of buyers to pursue a conserva-
tive policy. Two gentlemen with whom
the writer conversed expressed similar
views, namely, that they porposed reducing
their stocks and would purchase only for
requirements. With this attitude so well
defined, it is unreasonable to expect much

improvement
conditions in
show signs of improving,
would no doubt give an impetus to the
lumber market.
Dry stocks of white pine are nearly ex-
hausted, but the buying of the new cut has
not been nearly so vigorous as one year
ago, when dealers showed eagerness to
acquire stocks. Holders are not receiv-
ing many offers for their stocks, and it is
not uncommon to meet a person who is of
the opinion that the tendency of white
pine prices for the next three months will
be downward. With this view we are
not fully in accord, although we anticipate
that there may be some pressure on cer-
tain grades. The demand for box material
is not as urgent as in the early spring.
Some weakness has been displayed by
red pine, and it is feared that manufac-
turers who are compelled to realize this
spring will sustain a loss, as the cost of
production was heavy.
The hardwood market is about steady.
Birch is moderately active at firm prices
and thick maple is wanted. Lath are
showing more life as the result of building
operations.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
There has been no material improve-
ment in the spruce lumber market since
last writing. Shipments to the United
States are more active than last month
and considerable exports from Montreal
to Great Britain have been made since the
opening of navigation. Prices, however,
are very low when compared with the cost
of production, and under present condi-
tions it is very difficult to effect sales
which will show a profit. The South
American demand is in a very healthy
condition and several Nova Scotian man-
ufacturers have soid a large quantity of
lumber for that market. Many of the mills
in the province of Quebec have not yet re-
sumed operations, owing to the non-arrival
of logs. The water in the St. Maurice river
is so high, and the sirength of the current
so great, that it was considered advisable
to ‘hold the logs in the tributaries until
there is less danger of the booms being

to be held this week,as statistics will prob-

dry lumber on hand and a forecast made

apply in a lesser degree to white pine.
There is an entire absence of speculative
demand, orders being confined exclusively
to actual requirements. In the Saginaw
Jatley Nos. 3 and 4 common lumber are
scarce and firm, but other grades are
slow. There is still a heavy call for box
lumber. The arrivals at Tonawanda in
the first five days of this month amounted
to 16,685,000 feet, or 5,000,000 feet more
than was received in the corresponding
days last year. This supply was very ac-
ceptable, for pine dealers have found diffi-
culty in filling order owing to the depleted
condition of their yards.
Norway pine is meeting with keen com-
petition from yellow pine and hemlock,
and in the matter of price the advantage
is with the buyer.
The demand for hardwoods is by no
meansurgent; in fact,itis rather disappoint-
ing. Furniture factories are curtailing
their output, which is in turn reducing the
amount of lumber required for that purpose.
Birch is probably the best seller among
the northern hardwoods. Thick maple is
wanted at Buffalo, and there is a fair de-
mand for elm, which is in light demand.
GREAT BRITIAN.
Buyers of lumber in Great Britian are
willing to admit that conditions do not
warrant much lower prices. The market
has been declining for about a year and
prices now asked for lumber look cheap
as compared with those ruling in the sum_
mer of 1903. It is claimed that last year’s
prices were in some instances artificial
and did not represent the actual value of
the lumber, and that for this reason the
high prices are not likely to be duplicated
in the near future. This, it is quite evi-
dent, is the view held by many consumers
who expect to be able to purchase their
requirements around the prevailing prices.
There has been considerable buying at
the recent public sales, as dealers have
learned that it is possible to obtain bar-
gains. The buying, however, is often at
the expense of private business. The
better grades of pine deals are held in
strong hands, and although sales are diffi-
cult, prices are not likely to weaken very
much. This cannot be said of spruce,
which is offered freely at lower prices.
The arrivals at Liverpool

New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, against
2,840 standards in the corresponding
month of 1903. Second Quebec deals are

BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
(Correspondence of the Canapa LUMBERMAN,)
Vancouver, B.C., June 6, 1904.— Every
mill man is anxiously awaiting the
announcement of the government in
regard to the matter of duty placed before
it last Saturday by the deputation at
Ottawa. Those who appeared before
Sir Wilfred Laurier and the members of
his cabinet present were : Their Worships
Mayor McGuigan, of Vancouver, and
Mayor Keary, of New Westminster ; TG.
Scott, manager of the Pacific Coast Lum-
ber Company, Vancouver ; John Hendry,
president of the B.C. Mills, Timber and
Trading Company, Vancouver and New
Westminster ; and W. C. Wells, formerly
Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works,
and who owns large mills at Palliser.
With the Hastings mill closed down, the
Chemainus mill contemplating, and others
with the step in view, the depression is
beginning to be felt. Prices have not
been as firm as the manufacturer would
wish, owing to the attempt to secure what
business there has been in the Territories,
which has been cut up by reduced im-
ported lumber.
Loggers, too, are contemplating a
close-down of their camps. A meeting
has been called of all those operating
along the coast for the 16th of the present
month to consider this step. Camps have
shut down in Washington state, though
local loggers are shipping some logs
across the line.

engaged in supplying. The millmen have -
warned the loggers that unless a material

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,
The shipment of lumber by both rail
and vessel is quite active, but orders for
future delivery are not being placed with
as much freedom as earlier in the season.
It cannot be that retail dealers have re-
plenished their stocks to any extent, as
the consumption during the past two
months at least must have absorbed’ as
much lumber as was purchased. It is
probable that, in anticipation of a quiet
summer, dealers are postponing the buy-
ing of stock until the early fall, feeling
reasonably certain that there will be noim-
portant advance in prices. There is a rather
easy tone to the common and upper grades
of whitepine, while boxand other low grade
stock continue firm.

ings commenced in the early spring are

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Square timber is said to be showing
some weakness, although we have been
unable to learn of any sales at prices much
below those we are quoting. Owing to the
high cost of production, buyers who are
unable to obtain a fair price will hold their
timber until next year. There is a fairly
active demand for waney The

considering the advisability of storing
their logs until the price improves, as the
present selling figures will not cover the
cost of production. Spruce clapboards
have held up well ; 4-foot
boards are bringing $42 to $43 for Boston
delivery, while the 6-foot boards
quoted at $56, the latter being a decline
of about $4 as compared with the closing
figures of last season. Shingle prices are
a trifle easier, Extras for Boston delivery
selling at $3.30 to $3.35; Clears, $2.80 to
$2.85; and Second Clears, 2.25 to $2.35.
Stocks at the mills, however, are light,
and it will only require a moderate in-
crease in demand to get back to the $3.50
basis for extras.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,
Lumber manufacturers have no com-
plaint to make in respect to the volume
of consumption throughout the North-
West. Building operations are absorbing
a very large quantity of lumber. The
permits issued this year in the city of Win-
nipeg represent a valuation of nearly $4,-
000,000,and in Vancouver there have been
over 450 houses erected since the first of
the year. So much American lumber is
being dumped on the Canadian market,
however, that the benefit of this activity is
lost to the Canadian manufacturer. The
outlook in British Columbiais quite gloomy,
the president of the British Columbia Log-
gers’ Association having announced that
ali logging campsin the province would
soon be shut down indefinitely, which
means that several thousand men will be
thrown out of employment.
UNITED STATES.
The lumber market of the United States
is about stationary and seems, ina meas-
ure, to be waiting on the outcome of the
crops, which at the present time give
promise of an abundant yield. All box
grades of pine are in good demand and
dry stocks are running low. Some of the
eastern markets report an increased de-
mand, while from other districts a falling
off in sales is announced. The lower
grades are showing more strength and
activity than the higher grades. The

sociation has stronger

feeling of confidence in the _ situa-
tion. After thoroughly considering condi-
tions, it was considered unwise to make
material changes in the price list, but
several advances were decided upon, in-
cluding the following: 12-inch No. «

cents; 12 to 20 feet, $1.50; 8-inch No. 1
boards, 12 and 14 feet, 50 cents ; 6-inch
No. 1 facing, 6 feet, $1; 12 to 20 feet, so
cents. Norway siding and flooring were
reduced by from 50 cents to $2, and 8, 10
and 12 inch D select, $2.

woods, and the demand is largely for firsts

GREAT BRITIAN.
The imports of sawn lumber into the
United Kingdom during the first
months of this year were 1,031,137 loads,
as against 1,177,266 loads for the corres-
ponding period of 1903. As the stocks
held at the leading ports are lighter than
at the close of last year, it would seem
that the consumption has been greater
than the import. This is not likely to con-
tinue throughout the summer months, as
receipts will be more liberal. There has
been little change for the better in the
lumber situation. Many buyers would
like to contract for their supplies, but they
fear that after they have placed their
orders shippers might make a further cut
five
in prices in order to precipitate sales.
This is hardly expected, but there is suffi-
cient doubt regarding the matter to induce
a continuance of the non-committal policy.
The price of white pine deals is still so
high as to restrict the consumption, while
spruce deals have so many competitors
that the buyer can always obtain his re-
quirements from one source if not from
another, The demand for square pine is
slow, while waney is a little more active.

NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
St. John, N. B., June 15th, 1904.—The
outlook for Canadian lumber inthe United
Kingdom is not as encouraging as was
the case at this time last month. Dealers
are not showing any anxiety to buy or
make contracts and there is an increasing
eagerness to sell on the part of the manu
facturers here and in all parts of the
province. Those who have contracts to
fill that were left over from last year are
filling them now, and such lots as these
comprise the greater part of the shipments
of the last two months.
But in spite of these facts the manufac-
turers in this section are not at all dis-
couraged. The opening of the season
found their wharves entirely bare and they
are practically only beginning to saw.
They feel confident that the present de-
pression is merely a reaction from the
stimulus of trade last year and that, when
some ot the surplus has been worked oft
the markets in the U. K., asharp recovery
will take place. If, however, this view of
the situation is not borne out, and the
market should become still weaker, it is
almost certain that they will close down
iheir plants and cease operations entirely,
as it will unquestionably be better policy for
them to hold their logs until next year
than to manufacture at a loss. If this
should happen it will mean that there will
be practically no logging done in this sec-
tion of the country next winter.

were made in the early fall of 1903, when
prospects were very bright and trade very
brisk. Consequently these logs cost a
substantial figure, in many cases higher
than those contracted for in 1902 and sawn
in 1903. It is because of these facts I have
said that, if the price of lumber recedes
any further, the manufacturers on the St.
John will be compelled to shut down the
mills or to manufacture at a loss. As,
however, any further decline is improbable,
it is umreasonable to suppose that any
such contingency will arise.
It is hard to make any statement in re-
gard to prices; the market is too unsettled.
A specification of spruce deals with the
ordinary percentage of 7's, 8's, 9's and
11's, should bring in the vicinity of $12 per
M. f.o.b. St. John.
The stream-drivers on the St. John river
report salistactory progress. The rains
of the past fortnight have caused a rise of
water at the head of the river and the
. drives are being rushed into safe water
with the greatest despatch possible. The
large drives are practically all out of the
brooks and branches into the mainSt. John.
This does not mean that they are sure to
come out, for in the event of an extremely
dry spell they are apt to hang up in the
main river. Several millions were caught
in this way last year.
Three millions belonging to Charles
Miller are now caught on the St. Francis
and five or six millions belonging to Ran-
dolph & Baker will also have to be left
until next year. This is not considered a
large hang-up considering the amount that
willin all probability come out, and the
gentlemen who own them wil! not be seri-
ously inconvenienced.
As far as is known at present writing
no quantity of any importance beyond the
two lots mentioned was left.
The lumber shipments from St. John to
trans-Atlantic ports thus far this year
have been considerably smaller than for
the like period last year. Upto the jist
of May they were about 9,000,000 super-
ficial feet less, and the difference has
been increased rather than otherwise dur-
ing June. Dull markets are of course the
explanation of the reduced export.

THE BARBADOS MARKET.
Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son and Com-
pany, in their last report of the Barbados
market, say : The cargo of the Kipling,
which we reported in our last as having
arrived with 162;000 feet of white pine,
was sold at $26 for shippers and $21.50 for
second quality, and we value another
cargo of this description at similar prices.
The schooner Frances A. Rice arrived to
ourselves on May 24th with 130,000 feet
spruce, which we sold at $21.03 for mer-
chantable and $18.03 for second quality.
These late cargoes of spruce have sup-
plied present requirements, and we do
not think the next arrivals will bring simi-
lar rates, as thecrop is drawing to a close,
when demand for spruce is considerably
reduced. The steamer Orinoco brought
78,000 Gaspe shingles and 140,o00 Cedar
Laying. The former were sold at $6.50,
and as our market is virtually bare of
these, next arrivals will probably bring
UNITE
D STATES MANUFACTURERS AND WHOLESALERS —
similar prices. The latter were imported
for a dealer, who we understand payed
$2.25 for them, as they were better than
the ordinary. We think moderate arriv-
als of these would be worth from $2.15 to
$2.20 according to quality. Dimension
shingles are entirely out of stock, and a
lot of these would do exceedingly well.’’

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The weather of the past week has been
very favorable to lumber activity and we
think there has been a slight improve-
ment in the demand. Conservatism still
characterizes the action of buyers, how-
ever, and there is not likely to be any
decided change in the near future.
Dealers are not loaded with stock and
must centinue to buy more or less for
requirements. This is about all that is
expected during the next two months.
The crops are making satisfactory pro-
gress and business conditions genera!ly
are good,
Late reports regarding square and
waney timber confirm the opinion ad-
vanced that the outlook is not very en-
couraging. From what we can learn
there appears to be an overproduction,
which has come at a time when the con-
sumption is declining. _ Manufacturers
who sold their timber in advance were
particularly fortunate, as there has been
a decline of fully five cents per cubic foot
in the price of waney and a proportionate
decline in square timber. The salvation
of the market would seem to depend
upon a curtailment of operations on the
part of manufacturers. If this policy is
pursued it should be possible to maintain
prices at the present reduced basis, but
§
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
if operations are continued with little re-
gard to demand, the result will doubtless
be a further decline in values. The wis-
dom of the former course should be ap-
pireat to all operators when it is remem-
bered that the cost of getting out timber
has increased during the past few years
quite in proportion to the advance in price.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Spruce lumber prices have not suffered
a further decline, although the market is
sull very unsettled. Manufacturers gen-
erally will curtail sawing operations as

will be hung up on the St. John river, in-
cluding 6,000,000 feet on the Aroostook.
The amount already in the Douglas and
Mitchell booms is about 145,000,000 feet.
Extra cedar shingles are freely offered
at $3.30 for Boston delivery, Clears at

UNITED STATES.
Compared with one year ago the move-
ment of lumber throughout the United
States shows a falling off, not marked, but
sufficient to prevent any recovery in prices
from the decline which has taken place
during the past six months. The curtail.
ment in demand has resulted largely from
a decreased consumption by the railroads,
as building operations are normally active.
Many persons are looking for a revival in
business after the presidential nominations
are over next week, as there is a strong
fee'ing that the business interests of the
country are not likely to suffer through a
change in the fiscal policy. One of the
encouraging signs from a lumber stand-
point is an increasing demand for stock
from the Eastern States. This is reported
by the Lake Superior manufacturers, who
are holding prices firmly on the ground
that the amount of lumber to be produced
this year will be no more than equal to the
demand. There is especial firmness in
No. 3 and 4 boards. The old stock of No.
4 boards has been entirely cleaned out,
and there is a very light supply of No. 3.
The decline in the price of Norway floor-
ing has resulted in a heavier movement of
that lumber. The weakest grade in pine
is shop common, for which inquiries are
very light.
Weakness is more pronounced in hard-
woods than in pine. Business has been
disappointing and stocks have accumulated
to a greater extent than was believed pos-
sible two months ago. The country de-
mand is lacking. The northern hard-
woods, such as birch, basswood, elm, and
maple, have declined about $1 perthousand
feet, but are steady at the lower prices.
Basswood has shown some improvement
during the past week, but is still a slow
seller, while birch is moving in larger
volume.
June 29, 1904
GREAT BRITIAN.
There has really been no improvement
in the British lumber market since last
wriling. The opinion is expressed that
this season is likely to witness heavy con-
signments, is which case buyers would
have no difficulty in being able to purchase
anything they may require in reasonable
quantilies. The fear of such shipments
is working against the market and ship-
pers are, if anything, showing greater
anxiety to close contracts, with a further
shading of prices in some instances, At
public sales prices showed
further weakness. Concerning spruce
deals the Timber Trades Journal says :
‘The low c.i.f. offers that are reported
in respect to spruce deals must be accept-
ed ina qualified sense, and do not bear a
full significance unless the specifications
are taken into account. From what we
can gather the market for 3 x g inch deals
has not varied much from the position it
stood in two or three months ago. Some
depression has been experienced, and
where shippers pressed sales they have
had to make concessions. If what we
hear is correct, there has been some
slight improvement in the export trade
during the past week or two, and from
this holders are looking forward to a
more active inquiry.”

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN )
Otrawa, June 24th, 1904.—Compara-
tively little lumber is being shipped from
the Ottawa district mills these days, either
by rail or water. The English market is
receiving but small shipments and nothing
is going to the United States outside New
York and district. About a score of lum-
ber barges were here with coal this week,
but only a very few could get lumber asa
return cargo to the States.
High water in the Ottawa has interfered
with the movement of lumber by barge.
However, as the river is dropping to its
normal tevel, the shippers are finding it
possible again to work at the docks.
Most trouble was experienced at Calumet
and Rockland. At the latter point part
of the yards was flooded and the tracks
will need repairing.
It is likely that the high water will have
the effect of reducing the season's lumber
cut. The L’Original mills have only been
running about half time and the Perley
mill at Calumet and the Edwards Com-
pany’s mill at Rockland were also inter-
fered with by the high water.
Inquiry shows that Ottawa lumber prices
are stationary, holding to the figures that
have ruled all spring. Dulliness is about
the word that describes the lumber trade
hereabouts at present.
The English market is quiet, so quiet in
fact that considerable square timber that
was cut for summer sale in the Old Country
will be left on the limits until next season.
Discussing the square timber end of the
business, a leading operator said that
present prices are not within eight to ten
cents a toot as good as the prices at which
sales were made last fall. Fraser & Com-
pany and Brennen & Company are two
firms that have decided to hold over their
square timber on account of the slump in
in prices.
From present indications, and for the
above reasons, there will be a big decline
in the production of square timber next
season.
It was persistently rumored recently
that Mr. Thomas Mackie, M.P., had sold

others at an advance of $100,000 on the
price he paid at the December sale in
Toronto. However, Mr. Mackie is pur-
chasing horses and making other arrange-
ments to work the limits himself, so that
the talk of sale is groundless.
The high water in the Ottawa river
caused a break in the Des Joachims dam
above Pembroke lately. About 300,000
logs and pieces of pulpwood were liberat-
ed, and it was feared at first that great
damage and delay would be caused by the
distribution of the logs.
logs were all collected by the steamers of
the Upper Ottawa Improvement Company
within’a few days. The company was
favored in the work by natural conditions,
a strong east wind holding the logs in
place, The companies interested were
J. R. Booth, W. C. Edwards Company,
Hawkesbury Lumber Company, M« Lach-
ian Bros. and E. B. Eddy Company.
Reports show that all the log drives are
coming along in fine shape and the firms
will have to report but few logs as “ hung
up”.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
' ‘ONTARION=
Present lumber prices show more irre-
gularity, we think, than at any previous
time this year. It would not be fair to say
‘that the market is depressed, for the feel-
ing of the trade is quite the reverse, but
that there has been shading of prices by
more than one concern is admitted.
There seems to be more old stock offer-
ing than was believed to be available, and
the disposition of manufacturers to move
the stock is reflected in lower quotations.
The common and hetter grades of the

sions ranging from $1 to $3. No. 3 cuts
and better are about $3 lower than one
month ago. Ten inch box and common
is held-at the mills at $17, 12 inch at $18,
and 5/4 and 6/4 box and common sidings
at $16. Mill cull sidings are worth about
$12.50, and 1o and 12 inch mill culls
$11.50. Hemlock continue: very firm, 2

boards sell: about $1.50 below these
figures. British deals are about steady at
the reduced figures previously named,
Cedar shingles are selling freely and there

UNITED STATES.
The lamber market of the United States
is not particularly firm. The consumption
has been about up to expectations, but
dealers and consumers are buying as little
lumber as possible in the hope of being
able to depress prices and purchase to
better advantage later in the season.
Eastern stocks are low and must be re-
plenished from time to time. Good com-
mon inch and the box grades in white pine
lead in point of demand and in firmness,
selects and shop being in more abundant
supply and less Dealers do
anticipate much improvement until buying
commences for the fall trade, and this is
likely to be Jater than usual on account of
firm. not
the Presidential election. | Spruce is in
light supply and all offerings at New York
are readily taken. There is an active de-
mand for birch at good prices. Ash also
sells readily. Certain jobbers at Buffalo
are said to have cut the price of quartered
oak, Offerings of which from the south
have been quite liberal of late.
GREAT BRITIAN.
The British Jumber market is showing
a slightly better tone. The lower quali-
ties of pine deals are difficult to dispose of,
but there is a moderate mavement of the
higher qualities and of spruce. Several
cargoes of the latter have recently been
placed without any decline in prices, which
is regarded as a favorable indication.
Dealers have deferred placing in antici-
pation of a rush to sell, but so far this has
not occurred. The quantity of stock offer-
ing at London and Liverpool is consider-
- ably lessthan usual at this season of the
year. The recognized standard of prices
for spruce deals is about £9 tos. per stand-
ard ci.f. for 3 x g inch second quality,
and £8 15s. for thirds. Hardwood planks
have been in more active demand, but the
supply is ample and no advance in price
has taken place.
The woodworking factory of L. P.
Morin & Son, at St. Hyacinthe, Que., was
burned recently. The loss is about $45,-
000, with insurance of only $15,000.

NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER.
(Correspon lence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
St. Joun, N.B., July 4th, 1994.—Amer-
ican deals will be scarce on the St. John
this season. This is owing to the fact
that two or three of the largest American
mills will saw all Provincial logs and most
of the others will saw American only part
of the time. These logs were contracted
for last year when prospects were very
bright in the United Kingdom and when in
a few cases the situation warranted the
manufacturing of American logs for the
English market. “7
While the
country at large, is but a secondary con-
sideration, to St. John it is just as impor-
tant as the English market, owing to the
fact that the much larger number of the
mill owners here are Americans. For this
reason it has often happened that St. John
American market, to the
has enjoyed prosperous seasons when the
English market was off and the lumber
industry decidedly depressed in other sec-
tions. é
During the carly part of this-year the
prospects for marketing deals in ‘the
United States were not at all, bright, bat
during the last month or two, the demand
has increased and the market bas shown
a decided firmness. © The outlook is hopes
ful just now, although it.is freely acknow-
ledged that lower prices than those of last
year will prevail all through the season.
Compared with other years, shipments
from the provinces are remarkably small
and from the Eastern States they are
much below ‘he average. © The feeling
seems to be that until the elections are
over no great stimulus can be looked for
but that the present ‘prices will be at least
maintained. After the elections a greater
demand and higher prices are confidently
expected.
A specification containing the usual per-
centage of 6's, 8's, 9's, ro’s and 12's would
be worth from $13.75 to $14.25 per thous-
and feet f.o.b. St. John.
As the American logs Are cut mostly oh
the Aroostook river, they are late in ar-
riving ; hence there is very little American
lumber for sale in this section as yet.
American spruce boards are worth from
$11.50 to $11:75 per Ms. -ft: fo.b. St.
John. They are scarce and’ promise to be
even more so. Provincial boards are
plentiful and are worth for shipment to the
United “States $10 per M. Hemlock
boards are still hard to obtain and there
will probably be very few for sale this

Freight rates to Boston per schooner

Owing to the small quantities going for-
ward, charters are scarce. ;
Logs are coming along slowly and the
mill-men are having a hard time to eep
their mills going. While there is an abund-
ance of logs between here and Grand
Falls, they are not coming through the
booms at Fredericton rapidly enough to
keep the mills in cut, and as they have
heavy stocks on the way the manufactur-
ers do not care to buy any large quantities.
Cedar is particularly scarce, one or two
shingle mills being compelled te run at
half their ‘capacity for a few days. Advices
from up river, however, say that the logs
are being rafted rapidly and the mill-men
hope to be well supplied before another
fortnight bas passed. : ;
Prospects for stream driving _continue
bright and the logs are being rushed into
safe water with all possible speed. Recent
rains .in the up-river districts have raised
the river from to two four feet and thé con-
ditions for stream-driving are now all that °
could be desired,

THE MOUNTAIN LUMBER -MANUFAC-
_| * TURERS’ ASSOCIATION OF
BRITISH COLUMBIA,
This association-is now in its third year
sand its membership amounts to about 30
firms, or 40 mills, and covers the territory
west of the Cascades in British Cotumbia,
and eastward as faras Calgary. Its use-
fulness is be¢oming “more and more ap-
preciated by the members, and it is now,
*m a decidedly’ healthy condition. | The
last general meeting was held at Nelson
on June 22nd, the session lasting all day.
Among the matters under consideration
were the. trade conditions in the North-
West. Dyring the past winter and spring
the demand ha~ been light and the mills
felt the slackness in trade severely. The
claim put forward last year by those who
opposed the interests of the lumbermen,
ramely, that the Canadian mills were un-
able to supply the market, was even then
unwarranted, but with the addition of sev-
eral new plants and increased capacity in
some ol the old mills, the condition now is
“that a very large quantity of lumber is
piled in the yards in excess of what is re-
quired to fill the orders received.
The trouble has been largely aggravated
by the fact that in the state of Washington,
_ #8 a result of over-production and poor
home market, a large number of mills are
in liquidation, and the stocks of common
lumber are being disposed of at sacrifice
prices inthe North-West and Manitoba,
which isthe sole market for the Mountain
mills. Even in ordiniry times, there being
no duty on rough lumber coming into
Canada, the Ameri-an mills can undersell
the Canadian, for the reason that machio-
ery and labor cost Iss and timber limits
are to be had at not only a lower original
cost, but are less burdensome to carry. It
isl shown that our opponents to the
‘south Can put Tumber on the cars for aA
considerably lower price than we can.
The mill men have brought these facts
before the Government and requested a
duty of $2.00 per M on rough lumber com-
‘ing into Canada, but although the plea was
Strongly pressed, and the lumber manu-
facturers’ case was, as they thought, de-
monstrated beyond argument, nothing was

lll,
done, and the mistaken idea that the con-
sumer in the North-West was getting the
benefit of the lower prices was taken for
granted.
These matters were considered at the
meeting on June 22nd, and it was shown
from personal experience of those present
that the consumer is still paying for his
lumber on the basis of the Association
price, and the middleman in most cases
reaps the benefit.of the lower price of the
imported material. In Southern Manitoba
the Canadian mills are practically shut out
of the market on account of the disadvan-
tage they suffer in the matter of freight
The opinion was expressed that
it. would not be long before the view would
prevail that the North-West farmers who
receive the fullest prctecfion and are
directly benefitting by the British Colum-
bia markets for their products, should not
receive more.than the lumber industry,
which is noW inits infancy in this section,
and suffers from a more unequal cumpeti-
tion. It was made perfectly clear that
there neither was nor is any justification
for the statement that a combine exists
between the manufacturer and dealer.
The policy of the former is to see that the
whole North-West is properly supplied,
and that the consumer is enabled to get
his needs supplied without being subjected
to excessive charges, and they realize
that, by doing so, a greater quantity of
their products can be disposed of. Ar-
rangements with this end in view were
begun some months ago whereby the price
list was published throughout the whole
North-west and now a powerful organiza-~
tion has been formed for the purpose of
enabling the manufacturer to open up yards
and supply Jumber directly to the con-
sumer. No change was made in the price
list, save to permit a difference of $1.00 in
favor of cedar boards, In fact, in eighteen
months there has been no change in the

price list, notwithstanding that the cost of
logs at the mill has been increasing.
Grading rules were agreed upon after
consideration of the report of a committee
appointed ata previous meeting for the
purpose of considering the question. This
matter has been under way for some con-
siderable time, and at first it seemed to
some members impracticable to work out
any feasable set of rules which would be
just'to all manufacturers, there being such
a very great variety of woods, some of
which might have to be treated as consti-
tuting a class distinet from*others. How-
ever, it is now thought the present rules
will prove satisfactory and a considerable
benefit to the manufacturer and to dealers.
BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN )
VANCOUVER, June 21st, 1904.—Prices of
lumber and shingles in this city, delivered
at the mills, are an indication of how
utterly demoralized conditions are at pres-
ent. In fact, prices are so bad and so cut
to meet any particular demand or com-
petition, that millmen do not care to
make them public. An enquiry of one
of the prominent shingle manufacturers as
to what the prices of shingles at the mills
were, elicited the reply that he did not
know, and while this may seem somewhat
paradoxical, it is nevertheless true. The
figures are quoted from $1.40 to $1.60,
according to quality, but are flexible that
trade may be secured in what is the worst
time that the lumber industry in this pro-
vince bas yet encountered.
Mr. C. M. Beecher, vice-president of
the B.C, Mills, Timber and Trading Com-
pany, which has just closed its largest
mill, the Hastings in this city, remarked
the other evening: ‘‘The Government
at Ottawa seems to think that those mem-
bers who do not represent the West know
the conditions best, but the bad times
which are now settling down in earnest
will bring Sir Wilfred Laurier and his
cabinet to a realization of things, but only
after considerable harm has been done.”
That is a brief summary of the outlook at

Now independent loggers have all
kinds on hand, but no market. They state
they could dispose of them in the States,
but the law forbids, and the petition asks
for ‘he order-in-council to be raised if only
to allow them to dispose of the great sur-
plus. When the law was made the condi-
tions were much the same as in Ontario at
the time a similar act was enforced. The
own. result in both instances was the erection
of many mills in Canadian territory by
Americans. The unusual prosperity of
last year hac a bad effect and there
is no prospect of immediate allevia-
tion, as the Dominion government has
decreed that the Northwest market is not
for Canadians but for the Americans who
debar people from this side of the line from
participating in any trade in their country,
except under the most difficult conditions,

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO. :
The past -week has been characterized
by a steady trade in lumber at the lower
basis of prices which has been established.
That there has been no further cutting o
any account is regarded as a recognition
of the healthy conditions underlying the
market. The stock of white pine held at
the mills at the beginning of the summer
season was by no means large, and the
consumption promises to make heavy in-
roads upon the season’s production. One
or.two Michigan dealers have recently pur-
chased considerable blocks of white pinein
the Georgian Bay district. Building oper-
ations are responsible for a large local con-
sumption of lumber. In Toronto, for in-
stance, the building permits issued during
the first half of this year exceeded all pre-
vious records, being valued at $2,629,102
and including 728 dwellings, 25-factories
and 23 warehouses.
is being experienced from yellow pine, but
there is now some hope that the Govern-
ment will protect the Canadian industry
by an import duty on United States
lumber.
Michigan hardwoods are being shipped
into Western Ontario, and with a decreas-
the demand for
Keener competition
ed consumption, the
product of the Canadian mills is slow.
Prices, however, are not showing much
weakness, and there is a tair demand for
soft elm and birch. Hemlock is still held
at $12.50 at the mills,
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The spruce lumber market shows no
signs of becoming more active in the near
future. Shipments from St, John, N.B,,
to the United Kingdom are exceptionally
Ik,
light, while there bas been a falling off
also in the shipments of provincial lumber
to the Eastern States. The prices offered
by dealers reflect the easier tone which
characterizes the United States market.
Spruce clapboards continue to show some
strength, prices for Boston delivery being
$4) to $42 for Extras and $38 to $40 for
Clears.
$3 to $3.10 for 14 inch and $3.15 to $3.25
for 15 inch.
Spruce lath are offerea freely at
Very few cedar shingles of
Extra grade are selling above $3.25 on
Boston rate of freight, while there are
large offerings of the lower grades at re-
cessions from the prices ruling a fortnight
ago. The tendency does net seem to be
upward.
UNITED STATES.
An analysis of the lumber situation in
the United States leads to the, conclusion
that there has been a slight improvement.
The shipments from the head of the lakes
during the month of June were 62,000,000
feet, of which 57,000,000 feet were from
Duluth. Several transactions are report-
ed for stock for future delivery and there
is an increase in the number of enquiries.
Business in the Eastern States is quiet,but
dealers are doing a fair trade. The re-
cent decline in prices has not stimulated
buying to any extent, but orders for small
lots are more numerous, which is another
indication that dealers are not overloaded
with stock. The call is chiefly for com.
mon and low grade pine,the better grades
being hard to move. In Chicago con-
cessions on prices have been mostly on
dimension, shop lumber and better stock.
No. 3 and No. 4 boards have not yielded
in price, the demand being sufficient to
absorb all offerings. Random spruce has
declined 75 cents a thousand during the
last two weeks and occasionally a sale has
been made at $1 less than the spring
prices. There is a lessened inquiry for
hardwoods which is not easily explained,
but it is probable that the vacation season
is having its effect and that consumers are
still pursuing a policy of curtailment.
Even birch is not as active owing to a
falling off in the furniture demand, but
prices are held fairly firm. Thick maple
is the strongest of the northern hardwoods
with the demand comparatively brisk.
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
Chicago reports a good demand for white
pine lath. Prices range from $3.10 to
$3.25, with $2.25 for No. 2. Mixed lath
are held at $2.90 for No. 1 and $2 for No.
2,and Norway at $2.60 for No. 1 and
$1.85 for No. 2.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The improvement in the British market
mentioned last week has become a little
more pronounced, with buyers showing a
greater disposition to meet the demands
of shippers. The latter, on the other hand,
seem unwilling to give further concessions
and it is probable that prices have touched
bottom for the near future at least. The
recovery is likely to be slow, but it would
be greatly stimulated by an increase in
building operations. The receipts of Can-
adian lumber at the leading ports this year
show a decline as compared with the
previous two years, but the stock on hand
in most lines is still large. Prices for’ the
better grades of pine deals and boards are
firm, but the lower qualities are still offered
at prices which must leave no margin of
profit for the importer. Spruce is not offer-
ing in large quantity and there is not like_
ly to be» much pressure on the market
during the summer months, as shippers
will hold their stock in the hope that later
developments will be of a favorable char-
acter. Birch planks are in good demand
and prices are a little better.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
Jobbers at Buffalo quote elm flour barrel
staves at $11.50 to $12 for first-class and
$8 to $8.50 for second; basswood heading,
8 to 8% cents for first-class and 6 cents for
second ; coiled hoops, $9.50 to $10 for
6-foot and $9 to $9.50 for 5%4-foot.
Under. date of July 2nd, Messrs. S. P.
Musson, Son & Company submit the
following report of the Barbadoes market:
The arrivals during the fortnight consist
of the schooner ‘* Pacific” with 15 M.
white pine, 15 M. spruce, and 70 M. hem-
lock, which being all seconds brought $19,
$16 and $14 respectively, and the schooner
“Harry Troop” with 58 M. spruce and
22 M. white pine, which brought $19.60
and $18.50 respectively. Our market is
now fairly supplied with all descriptions,
and as demand after the crop is very small,
we cannot look for better prices in the
near future. During the period under re-
view, besides the ‘* Bravo” which we ad-
vised in our last, the bulk of whose Long
Cedar shingles realized in the neighbour-
hood of $5.55 and $6.30 for extra quality,
with $4.15, $5.80, $7.25, $7.80 for 4, 5, 6,
7 inch Dimension respectively, the ‘* Nim-
rod” has arrived with 680 M. Cedar Lay-
iug andg7 M. Long Cedar, which we
placed at $2.08 for former and $5.62 for
latter. The ‘‘ Dawn,” with 200 M., and
the * Utility” with 995 M. Laying to
neighbours, have since arrived and prices
obtainéd are about the same as advised
above. The ‘‘ Harry Troop” also had
1,400 M. Cedar Laying which had been
previously contracted for by dealers at
$2.25, being guaranteed as better’ quality
than the general run, and a cargo of $20
M. offered to arrive is supposed to have
been fixed at $2.09, or thereabouts. The
market therefore is well suppied especi-
ally with Cedar Laying, and we must look
for lower prices for future arrivals.
THE GLASGOW MARKET.
Messrs. Edmistoa & Mitchells’ Monthly
Timber Circular contains the following in-
formation in respect to the Glasgow lum-
ber market:
WHITE PINE.—The import during the
month has been 1,0¢0 loads waney pine.
The stock now consists of about 7,000 loads
waney and square, and in view of the re-
duced consumption and none to rosy out-
look, seems more than ample for all pros-
pective requirements.
RED PINE.—Stock is very low but quite
ample, there being now hardly any enquiry
for this class of timber.
Oak.—There has beén no import, and
stocks are still heavy, aggregating about
3,700 loads in Quebec and Southern States
wood. Enquiries during the month have
been of a trivial nature, and prices are
rather easier.
ELM.—The stock amounts to 1,663 loads,
and shows a satisfactory reduction on the
{wo previous years. This almost wholly
consists of second-class and soft elm, chere
being practically no first-class rock of good
size at present in stock. First-class rock is
being enquired for, and fresh shipments
should meet with a ready market.
QuEBEC Bircu.—The import during June
amounts to about 60 loads, consisting of
large wood, which was disposed of from the
ship's side at, it is understood, 2s. 1d. for
18-inch average. The stock on hand is
trifling, and a few shipments should -meet
with a ready enough sale, though at the
same time there is nothing like an active
demand existing.
LOWER Port BircH.—The total im-
port so far this year only amounts to 230
loads, and seems to have been ample for
the trade’s requirements, as there is still
some 86 loads of Pictou wood in the pub-
lic yards. Values are round about 16%d.
for 15-inch average.
QueBEc Asu.—The import this year has
been ona very meagre scale, but not-
withstanding this there has been little r
no enquiry, which indicates that this once
popular wood has gone pretty much out of
use. In States ash about 850 logs have
been imported during the six months, a
considerable proportion of which is still
lying in store unsold. There are only
occasional enquiries.
Deats, Erc, — Business during the
month has been quiet, and imports con-
tinue ona modern scale. Stocks of nar-
row ist pine deals are low, and a ship-
ment or two of 7/10 and 3 would meet
with a ready market. The stock of 2nd,
3rd, and 4th pine is heavy, and difficult
to move. Lower Port Spruce and Pine.—
The import has been heavy, and whi
sales have been made freely, prices are
considerably reduced. Current values
are as under:—
Third Pine Deals.—11-inch and up, £14
15s. to £14; ends and non-dimensions,
£9 10s. to£11. Red Pine Deals.—g and
11 inch, £11 to £11 10s.; narrows, £8 5s.
to £8 10s. First Pine Sidings and Strips.
—9g to 10 inch, £24 to $24 108.; 11 to iz

VANAVA LUMBERNMAN VVEEKLY EDITION
BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
(Correspondence of the Cayapa LUMBERMAN )
VANCOUVER, Jaly 4th, 1904.—There is a
little improvement in trade with the North-
west Territories this month, though noth-
ing to have any particular effect on the
depressed conditions. Tne Victoria Lum-
ber and Manufacturing Company is ‘one
of the companies doing a good business
in that market and is shipping upwards
of 100,000 feet per day. It is aggravat-
ing to lumber manufacturers to think what
trade might be done if Canada were pre-
served for the Canadians instead cf allow-
ing Americans to use our markets for
their own convenience.
One article in which Vancouver manu-
facturers should do a brisk business with
settlers in the Territories is that of knock-
down houses. Mr. E, Mahoney, manager
of the Royal City Mills, one of the large
local establishments of the B. C. Mills,
Timber and Trading Company, patented
a model knock-down house a short time
ago, and Mr. H. A. Bell, of this city, has
gone to Winnipeg where he will attend
the Dominion exhibition and set forth the
advantages of a structure of this kind.
The model is ingenious, and when set up
can hardly be told from the ordinary
house of carpenter build. It is a fine
thing for settlers just starting up in a new
Ill.
country where material and builders are
scarce.
Railway building in the North-west,
where many hundreds of miles will be laid
this year, and also in the southern part of
this province, is bringing good business
to East Kootenay, as many ties are need-
ed. Many camps have been started up
this year in addition to those which have
been operating. W. H. Griffith, of Cran-
brook, is putting in a plant at Fort Steele
Junction ; R. O. Jennings and G. Laurie,
both of Fort Steele, have each contracts
for 50,000; the East Kootenay Lumber
Company, which last year supplied the
C.P.R. with 1,000,000, has over 150 men
at work getting out ties, and 70 or 80 men
are working near Kimberley at the same
occupation.
The loggers have not yet presented
their petition to the government praying
for the abrogation of the order-in-council
prohibiting export of logs, but their does
not scem to be much chance of their wish
being acceded to. Some of the millmen
would like to see the embargo lifted for a
short period anyway to allow the surplus
stock to be disposed of, but governments
are very conservative and slow to adapt
themselves to circumstances, until, per-
haps, damaging effects bring the matter
prominently to their attention.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The white pine market is now holding
its own, no further concessicns to buyers,
so far as can be learned, having been made.
It is believed that-the readjustment of
prices which has taken place has been
beneficial to the market in that it has en-
couraged the consumption of lumber.
There are already indications that con-
sumers who have kept ont of the market
as much as possible are now willing to
contract for future supplies, and this class
of buying is likely to figure prominently
in lumber transactions during the next
three months. Dealers and consumers
have been running along with as little
stock as possible, in the hope of being ina
position to take advantage of the mid-
summer drop in prices which is often ex-
perienced. Consequently, they are now
prepared to buy. Michigan dealers are
also showing a little more interest in the
market, and enquiries fromthe Eastern
States are increasing in number. Mr. S.O.
Fisher is reported to have recently sold
10,000,000 fect of lumber to be sawn at
Blind River, and as he had previously sold
5,000,000 feet, it leaves but 10,000,000
feet of this season’s output on the market.
Many other large manufacturers have sold
an equal percentage, while others are hold-
ing their cut for higher prices than can
now be obtained.
While there has been a falling off in
the demand for hardwoods, prices have
not broken to any extent.
are in light supply, as enquiries for stock
frequently bring the reply that the lumber
cannot be supplied at any price, which
would indicate that there is
Some grades
not so much
stock on the market as may be supposed.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Spruce lumbe¢ is no weaker, for manu-
facturers refuse to sacrifice their stock.
The New York market is taking a con-
siderable quantity of New Brunswick lum-
ber, the demand in that city being quite
active for this season of the year, but
there has been no visible improvement in
shipments to Great Britain. We
stand, however, that most of the operators
under-
in Western Nova Scotia have placed their
entire output under contract, and there is
not likely to be as much lumber offering
as was expected earlier in the season.
There wil be upwards of 30,000,000 feet
of lumber hung upon the St. John river,
which will

Some con-
sideration has been given to next winter's
logging operations, and the disposition
seems to be to delay as long as possible
making arrangements for work in the
woods and to be guided by the market

facturers will great’y curtail their opera-
lions and that others will take out no logs
whatever. This disposition is a strong
argument in favor of maintaining the pre-
sent prices of lumber,
New Brunswick cedar shingles are offer-
ing in excess of the demand and there has
been an increased number of sales at the
JOw basis of $3.20 for Extras at Boston rate
of freight. This would seem to present a
good opportunity for dealers to acquire a
supply ot shingles, as when the fall trade
commences and the Presidential election
is out of the way, the.e will doubtless be a
reaction to higher prices.

demand.
A late event of interest to British Columbia
lumbermen was the adoption of a 4o cent
rate on fir, hemlock and spruce lumber
shipped from the Coast mills to Manitoba
| oints. Up to the present time the 4o cent
rate applied tc fir lumber only, but the C.
P. R. have now extended the rate to in-
cluded spruce and hemlock. It is hoped
eventually that a similar rate will be given
on cedar also.
UNITED STATES.
The !umber outlook in the United States
has brightened and the feeling of confi-
dence is more proneunced. Statistics pub-
lished by the Construction News shows
that in the twenty-three leading cities
there was a notable increase in building
Operations during the month of June as
compared with the same month last year.
The increase is equal to forty-two per
cent. and shows that there has been a
marked revival of building. The belief
that this activity will continue throughout
We have had over 15 Years Experience, and are not Asking our Competitors for an
the season is in part responsible fur the
feeling of hopefulness which now pervades
trade. The promise of an
average yield of wheat and corn is also a
favorable factor. Throughout the Eastern
States there is a very fair demand for the
lower grades of white pine, but it cannot
be said that the upper grades are showing
much life, and some buyers are still defer-
the lumber
ring purchases in the hope of being able
to Duy at lower prices. But dealers are
not carrying large stocks and will be com-
pelled to buy moderately if for nothing
more than to supply requirements. There-
fore, there is likely to bea sufficient move-
ment to prevent prices of uppers from sag-
ging any further, while the lower grades
might easily be advanced.
Some business is doing in hardwoods,
but it lacks snap. Plain oak is more ac-
tive than any other lumber, and there has
been an improvement of about $2 per
thousand. White ash is also a good seller
in the Boston market. White pine lath
are worth at Buffalo $3.60 for No. 1 and
$3 for No. 2 and Norway.
GREAT BRITAIN,
The slightly improved tone which we
recently announced has continued. Buyers
are a little more willing to acquire lumber
when there is anything to commend its
purchase. Although the market for Can-
adian lumber may truly be said to bea
little firmer, prices are not quotably
higher. The holders of white pine are
not willing to sacrifice their stock, know-
ing that the supply is limited. Red pine
is also in strong hands, and as the decline
has been considerable an early recovery
would be but natural. There has been a
little more contracting for spruce deals,
the basis being about £9 per standard for
Quebec thirds. Of the Canadian hard-
woods ash and elmare about the best at the
present time. Square and waney pine tim-
ber is firm, but the demand is not active.
The improvement in the British market
was not reflected in the prices realized at
the last public sale in London, when 3 x g
inch second quality, 12 feet long, brought
only £9 tos. per standard. For third
quality £7 15s. was obtained. These
prices, particularly in the first instance,
leave no profit to the importer.

‘* Finance,” c/o CANADA LUMBERMAN,
THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
OTTAWA, July 18, 1904.—The report of
a decline in lumber is not given: credence
by Ottawa and Ottawa district manufac-
turers and wholesalers. Careful inquiry
failed to show any weakening or tendency
to weakening outside the English market.
As has been already reported, square tim-
ber has dropped about ten cents from the
ten per cent. advance at which contracts
were made last fall. True, business with
the States has been very slack, but the
stagnation of trade lis not taken as an
indication of a weakening in prices. Lum-
bermen are notorious for their reluctance
to figure in print, so that names cannot
often be used. A lccal wholesaler said
today, ‘‘ I would like to know where prices
are weakening, it’s certainly not around
Ottawa. Only last week I was offered a
block of high grade lumber, but at an ad-
vance of $2 on the figure ruling a year
ago.” .
A manufacturer said, ‘‘ While there may
be isolated instances where prices have
become easier, there has been no decline
that could be looked on as indicating a
weakening in general in any line.”
Asa matter of fact, the manufacturers
would not be affected by any decline, as the
Ottawa Valley cut is practically all out of

hands. None of the present season's cut
is ready to ship yet, but with the turn of
the summer it will be on the move.
Stocks in the States are very low, and
must necessarily be replenished ere long.
Continued labor troubles across the bor-
der have held back the lumber business,
and, of course, the old familiar bugbear,
Presidential election, has played a similar
part. Once Uncle Sam gets away from
these there should be resumed activity in
the lumber business, and an increased de-
mand for Canadian stuff.
Men are already being hired for early
operations on the limits. Wages are
ower by $2 to $3 a month, and a further
decline is looked for from the high figures
that have held good for the past three
years.
In a recent issue of THE LUMBERMAN,
mill cull sidings were quoted as being $1
higher than teninch mill culls. According to
a local manufacturer the situation should
be reversed.
All the logs are now on the Ottawa
and its big tributaries. The rush of logs
is so great that hundreds of thousands
are being held back on the tributaries.
For instance, on the Madawaska, Mr. J.
B. Booth is holding 400,000 awaiting the
time when the booms on the main Ottawa
will be releived of their present congested
condition.

Company found it necessary to pul ina

So great was the crush of
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
Ill,
The rapid fall of the unprecended high

TIMBER OPERATIONS AT
TEMISKAMING.
Following is a statement of the total
quantity and value of timber cut and sold
by settlers in the Temiskaming District
during the past winter. The purchasers
were J. R. Booth, E. B. Eddy Company
and the Rideau Lumber Company.

There were nearly 300 settlers cutting
timber, therefore the average amount paid
to each settler would be nearly $S8oo.
There was also about 750,009 feet of pine
eut by the mills for local supply only.
COOPERAGE STOCK.
Messrs. Sutherland, Innes & Company,
Chatham, Ont., say: ‘‘Untii recently the
weather has been very unfaveurable for
summer logging, there being so much rain
that the woods are still very wet, and
hardly anything has been done in the way
of hauling. The consequence is that a
great many mills are shut down, having
cul out the logs they got in during the
winter months, and until we get a dry
spell they sill not be able to commence
running again. The majority of the mills,
however, are still running, although some
of them only from hand to mouth, and the
coopers are being fairly well supplied with
material ; in fact, we believe we may safe-
ly say that this is the first time for nearly
12 months that coopers have been able to
get an adequate supply of material to keep
them going. This month, however, will
deplete the stocks on hand very consider-
ably, and there is likely to be some delay
in shipments going forward.
‘** We, ourselves, are anticipating a rush
for apple barrel stock and are keeping a
small stock on hand at every mill possible
for emergency. The outlook for the apple
crop is excellent, and probapvly more
apple barrel stock has been already placed
this season than was ever known before in
the history of the cooperage industry, as
the coopers are determined not to be
caught short this year as they were last.
There is no doubt there will be quite a
scarcity of apple barrel stock later on, but
We are in hopes there will be enough to
go around to take care of the trade. The
demand for flour barrel stock continues
good, although it has eased off slightly,
while the demand for all other classes of
stock continues brisk, and the cement
mills are now running stronger than they
have done tor months.
** Prices for all classes of stock remain
firm ; if anything there is a slight upward
tendency in hoops and heading from a
month ago, although it is not very appre-
ciab'e. The larger manufacturers have
been persistent in their prices since the
new stock came in, the cheap stock which
was offered on the market being made by
the smaller manufacturers and in some
cases it was considerably off grade.
Some of the small mills turn out very good
stock indeed, while others turn out very
poor stock. We do not mean to say by
any means that the large manutactureis
are the only parties who turn out good
stock,
‘“Sizing up the whole situation, we
should think it was satisfactory both from

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
There has been a fair degree of activity
in the lumber market during the past
week. Some dissatisfaction is expressed
in regard to United States shipments, but
business locally compares very favorably
with one year ago. Some dealers report
that their facilities are taxed to the utmost
to fill the large number of small orders
which call for immediate delivery, which
is an indication that consumers and retail
dealers are carrying very light stocks.
There is a very fair demand for bill stuft
and some difficulty has been experienced
in obtaining the necessary material to fill
orders. The pine market as a whole is
exhibiting strength, and any change in
prices is likely to be in the direction of an
improvement.
Buyers who have visited the hardwood
mills have found that there is not a large
quantity of stock offering nor any weak-
ness in prices. Manufacturers seem to
have become satisfied that the entire hard-
wood production will find a market at the
prices now prevailing, and accordingly no
concessions of consequence are being
made. Hardwoods for interior finish are
in good demand in Toronto. The turni-
ture and implement factories are also
willing buyers of stock. Lath and shin-
gles are moving in some volume at un-
changed prices. The consumption of No.
1 pine lath in Toronto is considerable, but
there is very little demand for No. 2
cepting in the country districts.
ex-
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,
Considerable lumber is changing hands
in the Eastern Provinces, notwithstanding
the low prices, but it is composed chiefly
of small lots, as buyers are not disposed
to assume much risk until conditions im-
prove. British deals are fully $2 per
thousand lower than one year ago, which
leaves little or no profit for the producer.
Il.
=
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
Manufacturers will hold their logs and
lumber rather than sell at the prevailing
low prices,and it is probable that the mar-
ket will recover later in the season. New
Brunswick cedar have not
strengthened, but on the other hand larger
quantities of Extras have been sold on
the basis of $3.20 for Boston delivery.
As with lumber, the larger manufacturers
are holding their stocks.
shingles
UNITED STATES.
The good prospect of having a large
yield of wheat and corn to sell at high
prices has established a strong feeling of
confidence in the business community and
has perceptibly influenced the lumber
market. Retail dealers are anticipating
their demands and are laying in a stock
for the fall trade. These remarks apply
Particularly to the agricultural districts,
but a better feeling prevails in the Eastern
States also on account of an improved
outlook for the iron and steel trade. The
Buffalo White Pine Association met last
week and reaffirmed the price list. Com-
mon lumber still shows an advancing ten-
dency and no sales are being made at cut
prices. Eastern dealers have picked up
several blocks of lumber in the Lake
Superior district, which would seem to in-
dicate that the idea of a further decline in
prices has been abandoned. Spruce lum-
ber is not being manufactured in large
quantities, the supply being no more than
equal to the demand. The random cargo
market is quiet, but ordered cargoes are
active and firm. Quotations at Boston
are: 2 xX 3-4, 10 feet and up, and
2 x 5-6-7, $16.50; 2 x 8-9, 10 feet and
up, and 4 x 4 and up, $17.50;
2X 10 X 12, $20.
After weeks of inactivity the hardwood
market is now showing more life. Soft
elm in all grades and thicknesses is one of
the best sellers. Plain sawed oak is also
in good demand. Furniture manufacturing
has not revived in full measure and con-
sequently birch continues dull, but as the
supply is not heavy, there is no pressure
to sell.
GREAT BRITAIN.
Lumber conditions in Great Britain
have improved only in respect to consump.
tion, which is a little more active. While
prices are firm, there has been no material
advance, althcugh it may be said that
there is less pressure to sell. Buyers who
deferred making contracts have been re-
warded for their procrastination, but con-
sidering the present low basis of prices,
it would seem unwise to further delay the
making of contracts for requirements, and
even buying for speculative account would
seem to offer a good opportunity for pro-
fit. We are told that during the past
fortnight prices of spruce cargoes have
still further sagged, but that several car-
goes have lately been sold to the Bristoy
Channel ports at the lower figures. It is
stated that shippers regard the decline as
temporary in character and look for a
recovery of some proportions in the early
fall. Spruce lumber is now lower than it
has been for some years. A quantity of
3 X 9 inch second quality, ot Breakey’s
manufacture, sold recently at public sale
at £9 10s. per standard, which is practi-
cally c.i.f. prices.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
Montgomery Bros., of Buffalo, have re-
ceived 10,000,000 feet of lumber by lake
this season.
Mershon, Schuette, Parker & Company
have just purchased the unsold stock to
be cut this season by Eddy Bros. & Com-
pany at Blind River, Ont., estimated at
20,000,000 feet. The lumber will likely
be shipped to Saginaw.
At an auction sale held by Churchill &
Sims, London, England, on July 13th, a
small quantity of Canadian lumber sold as
follows: 12-14 feet, 3x 11 inch unassorted
pine, £5 per standard; 12 feet, 3 xg inch
second quality spruce, £9 10s; 13 feet,
3x11 inch third quality spruce, £7 5s.
The American Lumberman says: “ Im-
portations of lumber into Canada for
April, 1904, were valued at $588,087, as
against $436,128 in the like month of 1903.
For the period of ten months ended April
30 of the present year, lumber was im-
ported into Canada, largely from the
United States, to the value of $4,679,556,
as against $2,920,876 in the cor: espond-
ing period in the year previous. Thus
American lumber sent over the line into
Western Canada almost doubled in value
in the last ten months, as stated. It is
not to be wondered at, therefore, that the
British Columbians are anxious to dam
back this inflow of American lumber by
some sort of fiscal legislation.”
Messrs. Denny, Mott & Dickson, Lon-
don, Eng., say of the lumber market :
‘ There has been some demand for waney
pine of good dimension but little enquiry
for oak and elm. The latter, however,
continues to barden in price—owing to
the difficulty of shippers finding even the
limited quantity to which they have com-
mitted themselves for the new season.
Quebec oak continues to be difficult to
sell, owing to the cheaper, if inferior,
American oak being taken for many pur-
poses where the dearer article used to be
specified. The spruce market has shown
an easier tendency for ordinary specifi-
cations but good prices have been realized
by shippers for special requirements.”
Messrs. S. P. Mussen, Son & Company,
of Barbadoes, say: ‘* The only arrivals
during the fortnight ending July 16th were
the schooner ‘‘F, B. Wade” with 62,000
feet of white pine and 2,000 feet of spruce,
and the schooner ‘ Nellie” with 15,000
feet of white pine and 32,000 feet of spruce,
which were placed in Trinidad. The mar-
ket is well supplied, and the demand, as
usual after the crop, is very light. The
lot of 820,000 of Cedar Laying shingles to
which we alluded in our last, arrived on
the 5th, and while $2.09 was obtained for
the bulk of the cargo, $1.86 had to be ac-
cepted for the balance, which were not up
to quality. The market for these is now
well stocked, and although Long Cedar
are not held in any quantity, we look to
see lower prices in both these grades for
next arrivals. Dimensions are in very
light supply and a small lot would bring
fair prices.”
BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
VaNcovuvER, B.C., July 22, 1904.—Con-
ditions in British Columbia, while not im-
proving to any degree worthy of mention,
are not getting any worse.. Some lumber-
men might say that the latter was impos-
sible,still the mills are running, and though
prices are not maintained in their integrity,
yet they are sufficiently good that the
sawing of the stock of logs on hand is
continued. The 4o-cent rate on Spruce
and hemlock to points east of the western
boundary of Manitoba will be more of
a benefit to the millmen of the interior,
where these timbers are mainly sawn.
Heretofore, the territory for the 40-cent
rate extended only to the Manitoba line,
but since American roads decided to ex-
tend the territory to all points west of the
Missouri river, the C. P. R. was permitted
to include Manitoba, which would under
those circumstances be non-competitive
territory. An extension of the 4o-cent rate
has been agitated for by the lumbermen,
and now their hope is to have it apply to
cedar. This the railway company will,
however, not do, until the American roads
take similar action. Coast lIumbermen
deal principally in fir and cedar, while
spruce is one of the staples of those manv-

ment of rates, and in the present depres-
sion is of assistance.
The announcement of Hon. Mr. Fielding
that next year something may be done
for the protection of the lumber industry
is not regarded so much as encouragement
aS a promise in view of the elections which
may come off shortly, The necessity of
preserving Canadian markets for the Can-
adian people, as is done in every indus-
try except that of lumber,has been brought
to the attention of the Liberal Govern-
ment since 1896, and particularly within
the last couple of years. The Govern-
ment cannot plead ignorance of conditions,
and in the last speech of Mr, Fielding,
when he announced the dumping clause,
he carefully excluded the west from an
benefits, although providing that the peo-
ple out this way should pay whatever extra
could be charged on goods, and they are
many, imported from the east. Hence,
the statement that something may be done
next yer is not taken with all sincerity,
and lumbermen here will believe nothing
unlil they either see the duty imposed or
have very definite assurance that it will
be done.

NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN. )
St. Joun, N.B., July 19th, 1904.—The
lumber trade in this vicinity is quite brisk.
Low prices prevail in all branches, but the
feeling seems to be that they have reached
rock-bottom. It is almost certain that
when a change occurs it will be more fav-
orable to the manufacturers.
English deals have shown but little
change during the last month. Shipments
from this port have been quite heavy and
the wharves are being kept quite clean.
Part of these shipments were the tail-ends
of some 1903 contracts, but outside
that the demand is fairly brisk. Still it is
not so great as to warrant a too pessimis-
Buyers
are cautious, few contracts of any import-
ance are being made, sales are small and
mostly for early delivery. Few manufac-
turers have disposed of any lumber except
in the way mentioned, as the prices avail-
able do not warrant their tying themselves
up to any great extent. They are confi-
dently expecting better conditions and
want to be in a position to make the most
of them when they do arrive.
According to information received from
reliable sources, the principal dealers in
the United Kingdom are carrying very
small stocks ; therefore any stimulation in
the demand will be sure to have an im-
mediate effect on prices. This is what the
local dealers are hoping for and expecting.
If, however, their expectations should fail
to be realized, there is very little doubt
that, preferring to hold their logs rather
than carry a large stock of manufactured
lumber or sell at a loss, they would cease
operations entirely for a few months.
A specification of merchantable spruce
deals of an average length say of 14%
feet, containing say 50 per cent. of 7s and
8s, 35 to 4o per cent. gs, and 10 to 15 per
cent. 11s, would probably bring from
$11.50 to $11.75 per M s.ft., f.o.b. St. John.
The logs being sawn in this section this
year are somewhat smaller than was the
case last year. The result will be a larger
percentage of the narrower deals, which,
of course, reduces the value of the specifi-
cation in which they are included.
Freight rat s from St. John to the West
Coast range from 32s 6d to 35s per stand-
Very little pine or hemlock will be man-
ufactured here this season. Both are
growing scarcer year by year and the
small lots which are available are mostly
American, being cut on the Aroostook
river or some of its tributaries. Very little
is shipped, as all that is obtained is re-
quired for local use and brings a higher
price than could be obtained elsewhere.

One hundred and twenty-four’ timber
licenses were issued by the British Colum-
bia government during the past month.
Thls is considered astonishing in the face
of the depression in the logging industry
on the coast. Most of the licenses, how-
ever, are for Kootenay limits.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
Lumber conditions during the past
week, while not entirely satisfactory show
evident signs of improvement, with the
assurance of a large yield of grain
hroughout the province. The demand
during the past week has been steadily
maintained local trade being good, in view
of the extensive building operations now
proceeding in the larger cities. Compara-
tively little lumber is being shipped to
Great Britain, where the market still con-
tinues to be effected by the scarcity of
money among the general public. Pre-
sent shipments to the United States are
small, dullness being chief feature of that
market, although with the result of the
presidential campaign a foregone con-
clusion and the large curtailments in the
output of many industries, exporters are
confident of a large increase in the de-
mand towards the fall. Prices continue
stationary generally holding to the figures
that have ruled since spring. There is,
however, a possibility of them taking a
rise very soon as a large number of logs
cut this year will not reach the mills on
account of the excessive floods that have
raged in various parts of the country.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The demand for spruce lumber con-
tinues fairly active, with dimensions and
yard orders holding firmiy. Shipments to
the United States have been fairly good
but there continues to be very little buy-
ing for the British market. Hemlock
boards are steady at firm prices, while
the demand for pine, although the market
still continues rather quiet, has increased
during the week. New Brunswick cedar
shingles have strengthened a little
and are now being sold on the basis
of $2.90. Lumber prices continue
about the same although it is pleasing to
note a lessening in the disposition to cut
as reported during the past month.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,
With the building season at its height
in Manitoba and the North-West Territor-
ies the market for B. C. shingles has at
last assumed a prosperous condition. The
mills, for the first time during the past six
months, are being- run at their fullest
capacity. Despite a general lull in the
building trade in the Eastern and New
England States these shingles continue to
make headway in that market. Lumber-
men are experiencing a fair improvement
in the volumne of trade, the demand trom
the North-West being much larger with
the partial exhaustion of the surplns stocks
of the Washington mills. Foreign ship-
ments continue small, Great Britain being
overstocked, while the Australian market
has sufficient stocks on hand to supply all
demands for the next six months.
UNITED STATES,
But slight change has taken place in
the condition of the trade during the week,
although a universal cheerful tone seems
to be prevalent with the expectation that
matters will improve before long. Busi-
ness has been slightly unsettled in the
West on account of the packers’ strike
and other labor troubles, although these
are partially offset by the decidedly favor-
able crop weather. There is a strong
feeling that the limit has been reached in
the way of weakness with the result that
many wholesalers are displaying a ten-
dency to hold what stocks they possess
rather than dispose of them at less than a
fair valuation, or what will produce a fair
margin of profit. The hardwood trade
continues the improvement of the pre-
ceding week, white pine however with the
renewed activity in the box trade being
considerably ahead of it. The furniture
factories are beginning to buy more freely
than heretofore, the demand for cyprus,
spruce and hemlock being strongly to the
front. Prices have been appreciably
strengthened by the general curtailment
of production both in the south and west,
while a marked tendency to stop cutting
is noticeable.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The past week has not heralded any
improvement in the condition of the trade
here, prices having had a tendency to
droop. The business done seems to be
more or less of a desultory character, but
we are convinced that the reluctance to
buy is attributable to the quietness of
trade and to the absence of speculation
among building contractors. The coun-
try has evidently not yet recovered from
the results of the South African war, the

NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CANADA I,UMEERMAN.)
St. Joun, N:B., July 30th, 1904.—The
short lumber trade, both American and
The demand is
steady and somewhat sharper than was
the case at this time last month.
Provincial, is quite brisk.
American slab laths are worth from
$2.15 to $2.20 per M, f.o.b. St. John.
Stocks are low and as there are less being
manufactured this year than has been the
case for many years, they promise to be
even scarcer.
Provincial laths are quite plentiful, and
although none of the manufacturers are
carrying heavy stocks, the chances are
that that there will be no scarcity unless
an unlooked for demand arises. They
can be disposed of at from $1.85 to 1.95
per M. The weekly output of laths in St.
John City alone is in the vicinity of
3,000,000. As some of the American mill-
owners are sawing provincial logs, only
about 800,000 American be
manufactured per week for the balance of
the season.
Shipments of laths during June were
rather light and for July mediumly heavy.
According to a'l indications all receipts
were absorbed by the markets in the New
England States which showed no slack-
ness in demand in consequence. The
prospects unquestionably lead to the con-
clusion that laths will be higher but it is
probable that the change will not take
place before mid- Autumn. Inquiries during
the last month have been more frequent
and it is a well known fact that few
dealers in the New England States have
any quantity of any consequence in stock,
but they will probably continue in this way
until after the election.
Cedar shingles: There is little change
in this line. Low grades are selling
locally as fast as they can be produced
and very few are left for export.
laths will
In Boston and vicinity trade is only
moderately brisk. Lower prices are the
rule this year in shingles as in other lines,
It is hard to make any forecast, but the
outlook for any immediate rise in price is
not very bright. The feeling among the
manufacturers and dealers in this vicinity
is that the price has not touched the low-
est point, but that it will be two months at
least before anything more favourable to
them can be expected.
American cedar shingles are worth,
f.o.b. St. John: Extras, $2.90 ; clears,
$2.45; znd clears, $1.90,; No. 1's, +95«
Stocks are very low except in extras
and these are not sufficiently heavy to
cause their owners any anxiety.
Freight rates to Boston on shingles are
quoted freely at 22-44 cents per M, and to
New York on laths at 65 cents per M.

B. C., whose entire cut of last season's
logs, consisting of 2,000,000 feet was
totaliy destroyed by fire last week. Our
sympathy is also extended to Handy

THE LIVERPOOL MARKET.
The monthly report of business in all
parts of the north of England continues
very languid.
PiTcH PINE.—There has been a large
importation of pitch pine timber greatly in
excess of the requirements of the market.

during June, 321,000 of which remained
in Liverpool. The stock at the close of
the month feet

that of last year. Shippers are strongly
advised to send nothing here but their
very best lumber, as all inferior grades
are simply given away at slaughter
prices, the prevailing prices being as low
as 36 cents a foot, landed.
SPRUCE.—The position of New Bruns-
wick and Nova Scotia spruce continue,
to steadily weaken owing to very large
shipments and the fear that when the
various
commence work upon the immense stock
companies in these provinces
of logs now at hand there will be an ex-
cessive supply and a slump in prices will
follow in the autumn.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO, ;
Under the influence of a fair demand the
lumber market has maintained a quiet though
steady tone. Much prosperity is evidenced
in the province, with the assurance of a good
crop of grain, while the future is extremely
promising in the building trade and various
other departments of industry which all con-
tribute largely to the advantage of the lumber
trade, and which give promise of a good fall
demand. The increasing competition of the
American lumber is being utilized as a strong
weapon in the hands of tariff reformers and it
becomes increasingly evident that the govern-
ment while opposed to any increase of duties,
for purely protective purposes, will be com-
pelled to yield to the pressure in the fall.
Turning from local conditions it is regretable
to note that there continues to be very little
improvement in the British market,depression
being the chief feature, while very few sales
are made and practically none at all of square
timber, except at ridiculous prices. This fact
coupled with the unsatisfactory shipments to
United States and the continued uncertainty
of that market, has decided many operators
upon a curtailment of the cut for the season
just entered upon, and a reduction in the
wages of their employees. Hardwoods are in
steady demand, prices being firm and no con-
cessions obtainable by purchasers.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,
Reports coming from Quebec and New
Brunswick give really no substantial signs that
the spruce market is likely to become more
active in the near future. There has been an
excellent yard demand from the United States
during the past week, but, as against this, the
shipments to England have been exceptionally
light, while with the low pressure on the
market prices have not improved. However,
their is little possibility of them going any
lower, while in the general course of events
the probabilities are they will improve. One
of the causes advanced for this continued de-
pression in the export business is that Russian
lumbermen, being unable to borrow from their
home banks, have been obliged to realize on
stocks of lumber at any price, the figures
quoted making it impossible for Canadians to
compete. At St. Johns, N.B., in view of the
continued quietness of the trade the lumber-
men are seriously considering the advisability
of curtailing the output by closing their mills
early in the fall unless an improvement should
change the situation. The situation is further
accentuated by the increase in. stumpage and
mileage dues imposed by the Government of
New Brunswick, which, it is estimated, will
create an increased expenditure of $83,000
out of the St. Johns lumbermen alone. Cedar
shingles are selling freely, there being
evidence of a stronger market, which was
anticipated some time back, appearing in the
fall.
UNITED STATES.
From almost every part of the country trade
reports this week show hopeful signs of im-
provement, and while the volumne of trade is
still unsatisfactory, there comes an occasional
report of a dealer doing good business. In
some grades prices are weak, but as a rule
these low offerings usually emanate from over-
stocked mills or those in want of money.
Just now there appears a better demand for
hemlock on account of the scarcity of low
grade pine, and it is noted that this class of
lumber is gradually winning a place for itself
in spite of all prejudices, upon its merits.
With the assurance of a good crop in all sec-
tionn of the country, it becomes increasingly
evident that the demand for lumber will show
Build-
ing in the large cities continues heavy and
gives promise of holding so until the close of
the season. The-export trade is still in an
indifferent condition, although manufacturers
predict that rock bottom prices have been
reached and that the advent of early fall will
see a resumption of the demand and an in-
crease 1n prices. The hardwood trade remains

requirements, being same.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The latest indications to hand of the
economic barometer points to fair wea-
ther in the near future. It is pleasing to
note the healthy condition of the cotton
trade and the encouraging reports of im-
provements in the
lumber business the past week his not
heralded any discernible advance, as the
country is right in the middle of the holi-
day season when movements are usually
slow. The arrivals though fairly large,
have with few exceptions been less than
at this time last year, while the demand
continues quiet, with ample stocks on
hand and consequent low values. Mari-
time province spruce imports have lately
increased in quantity but with the already
large stocks on hand there has been a
further decline in values. Many buyers
have been tempted in the market on ac-
count of this continued decline. Quebec
spruce has given evidence of a distinct
improvement a much better feeling pre-
vailing than for some time past. In pine
deals the demand is exceedingly quiet
and sales difficult, although prices in the
better grades are firm. Birch planks are
in good demand, prices being a little
better. While the anticipated revival is
slow in coming and numbers of consign-
ments remain unsold, it is confidently ex-
pected that the opening of the fall season
will herald an advance in all branches of
the trade.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
hardly to be taken as an indication that
the industry is thoroughly prosperous,
according to the expression of one of the
prominent operators. He points out that
97 of the licenses were issued for the in-
terior where there is activity in timber just
now. Of the twenty-seven issued to peo-
ple on the coast, all were renewals except
one, showing that the holders of limits are
only saving their investments, and waiting
for better times.
Still, one or two new enterprises are
talked of, besides the re-opening of the
Ross-McLaren mills at New Westminster
by a company composed of San Francisco
capitalists. Ontario people, represented
by Mr. Cook of Algoma, have secured
large limits in the interior, and are talking
ot starting a mill near Ymir, while a com-
pany dealing in cedar, and which
mills at Ballard, Wa., is purchasing limits
on the west coast of Vancouver island, to
manufacture cedar for export. Thomas
McNaught, of Toronto, has also been in
the province lately, and is verv favorably
impressed’ “with the prospects. He has
not expressed himself as to whether or not
he will erect a mill, but it is not improb-
able as so many people from Ontario have
become interested in British Columbia
during the last year or two. Nearly all of
the big lumbermen in the interior are
either from Ontario. or the Maritime
has
Provinces, with a few from Minnesota and
Michigan.
Lumbermen from Winnipeg west to the
coast have organized under the Manu-
facturers’ Lumber Company, with a capi-
tal of $500,000 under the provisions of the
Manitoba Joint Stock Companies Act.
The membership includes all of the pro-
minent operators, and principally those
of the Kootenays and the interior, with a
few from the coast. There are already
two Associations in British Columbia,
many members of which have joined the
company recently organized. It is under-
stood that the B.C. Lumber & Shingle
Manufacturers Association, of this city,
and the Mountain Manufacturers’ Associa-
tion, of the interior, still retain their in-
tegrity, though the new company places
all under one management.
Bush fires on the coast have subsided
since the rain, though the warm weather
which has again followed will likely re-
start them. The most destructive of
them all was that which burnt $200,000
worth of logs, the whole season’s cut of
the Elk River Lumber Company, and
seriously threatened the town of Fernie,
a week ago. This company is composed
of Minnesota people. Two or three of
the mills on the coast have also had nar-
row escapes from fire. Lumber in the
yards of Mr. McLaren's mill at Barnet
tu. @
was discovered to be on fire the other
night, but was extinguished with a loss
of $700. Galbraith’s sash and door fact-
ory, New Westminster, was also on fire,
but was saved.
The loggers, who are praying for the
removal of the export duty on logs saw
the premier last week, but he asked them
to wait until a full meeting of the execu-
tive was present. From the present atti-
itude of the government, the loggers will
remain bankrupt.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,
Opinions as to the condition of the lum-
ber market are not universally favorable,
The stock of unsold lumber at the mills 1s
no doubt larger than at the same time one
year ago, and the movement at the present
time does not indicate that the fall con-
A good
trade is promised in most of the cities,
where building is active, but the purchas-
ing power of the farming community may
be curtailed by a depreciation in the grain
yield. There is still a tendency on the part
of manufacturers to shade some grades of
lumber. Common white pine is holding its
own, but all above that grade can «sually
be purchased at concessions from the prices
ruling a month ago. Marked weakness
is not anticipated, for the reason that,
even if demand should be disappointing,
the market will be held steady by the
prevailing disposition to curtail the log
production next winter. A meeting of
lumbermen was recently held at Sudbury
to consider the extent of the output and
wages to be paid. Several operators
stated that they purposed curtailing their
output, one of them to the extent of
15,000,000 feet.
sumption will be unusually large.
In hemlock the tone is stronger than in
pine. Some manufacturers have advanc-
edthe price of inch stock fifty cents.
Hardwoods are moving only moderately,
but as the stock is not large there should
be no difficulty in marketing it.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Nothing has transpired during the past
week to cause increased activity in spruce
lumber, orders continuing of a hand-to
mouth character. However, the probabil-
ity that the corporation drive of logs on
the St. John river may be hung up has
created a better feeling among holders of
lumber. The contractor is meeting with
much difficulty and is said to be desirous
of abandoning the logs. At the annual sale
of unmarked and mixed logs of the Fred-
ericton Boom Company held last week,
the prices realized were high when com-
pared with the price of deals. Spruce
brought $11.10 per thousand feet, pine
$7, cedar $6.90, and hemlock $3.75. The
outlook for New Brunswick cedar shingles
is still discouraging, as there seemsto be
a considerable quantity offering at the
prevailing low prices.
UNITED STATES.
Yellow pine lumber shows a pronounced
improvement, the curtailment of production
having caused a revival of demand and an ad-
vance in prices. Dealers realize that the mar-
ket is hardening and that the likelihood is that
there will be a further advance as soon as the
fall movement commences. This improve-
ment has been reflected ‘n white pine, which
is showing a little more activity. It is claimed
that the stock of white pine lumber at the mill
is exceptionally light, and with the guarantee
that there will be no accumulation, the natural
tendency of price is to harden. This is par-
ticularly true in respect to the lower grades,
any sluggishness which prevails being con-
fined to the better qualities. There is still a
liberal demand for box lumber and prices
strong throughout the fall
Hemlock prices at Buffalo are re-
promise to be
months,
ported stronger than they were, influenced by
the prospect of a light cut for next season.
Random cargoes of spruce are easier, while
ordered cargoes are practically at the same
level. There is no increase in the consump-
tion of hardwoods, trade generally being back-
ward. House finish is responsible for a con-
siderable demand for such lumber as is suitable
for that purpose.
the leaders in the general demand, but in al]
departments there is room for improvement.
Lath and shingle prices have been sustained.
Birch and ash are among
GREAT BRITAIN.
Although some confidence is expressed in a
stronger market, the transactions which are
taking place bear little evidence of an early
improvement. The stocks are still too heavy
for the good of the trade and many holders
are showing increased anxiety to close con-
tracts. | Even pine deals have been imported
in excess of the consumption, with the result
that the supply at the leading ports is larger
than one month ago. The Liverpool stock is
12,080 standards as compared with 9,430
standards at corresponding time last year and
11,170 standards in 1992. New Brunswick
and Nova Scotia spruce deals are held in
stock to the extent of 11,240 standards,
which is not an excessive quantity when
compared with 10,890 standards in 1903 and
15,640 standards in 1902. Broad first quality
pine deals are worth about $160 per standard;
11 inch, $145 ; second quality pine deals, 11
inches and up $85 per standard; third quality

“= a
pine deals,11 inches and up, $60. Red pine
deals bring about $50 per standard for g and
11 inch and $40 for narrows. Waney and
square pine and elm are considered good pro-
perty, as it is expected that the supply will be
inadequate to meet the demand. Oak is
quiet and is giving holders some concern.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
Ottawa, AUG. 1oth, 1904.—At no time
during the past year was the lumber
business so slack as it is at present.
Shipments by rail and water alike have
fallen off. The British market is receiv-
ing little or nothing, and the muvement
of stuff to the States is no better.
In the face of this depression, however,
prices hold firm, manufacturers evident-
ly having confidence in the future. Of
course, the firmness of the Ottawa mar-
ket is in a large measure due to the fact
that most of the stuff being turned out at
the mills changed hands some time back
at the advanced prices. Thus the manu-
facturers need no concern, while the
dealers are determined to get their own
out of their lumber.
In a month's time most of the present
season's cut will be on the market, and
the increase in purchasable stock may
have a depressing effect on prices, unless
business picks up.
Discussing market conditions in the
Ottawa district to-day a local lumberman
said: ‘‘ Prices are firm and ready stocks
light. The market may be expected to
right itself. If a man had lumber which
he desired to realize on immediately, he
would probably have to shave prices

some to find a purchaser, otherwise there
would be no decline. The stock is need-
ed and no one is going to sacrifice it.”
In some circles it is believed that lum-
ber will not shake off the present lethagry
until the steel and iron commodities in
the States brighten up. The textile
strikes in the New England States and
the l.test builders’ strike in New York
City are viewed with considerable appre-
hension in Ottawa !umber circles, as in-
terfering elements in business.
The writer, while in Pembroke a few
days ago, made enquiries in lumber cir-
cles. The outlook up the line is not con-
sidered any too rosy and it is even thought
that there will be a drug of stuff on the
market this fall.
The movement of the logs on the Ot-
tawa river is causng all kinds of discus—
sion these days. Reference was made
lately to the breaking of the Des Joa-
chim ~ boom above Pembroke, whereby
over 300,000 logs and pieces of pulpwood
were liberated. To prevent a recurrence
ofthe break, a temporary boom was placed
the entire width of the river about twenty
miles farther up at a point known as Rock
Captaine. The logs, pulpwood, etc.,
jammed up behind it for a distance of
four miles. The temporary bocm went
smash and the logs and pulpwood, var-

000, were liberated. The river for twen-
ty miles is full of the stuff and fears are
entertained for the safety of the Des Joa-
chim boom. Officers of the Upper Ot-
tawa Improvement Company in charge
of the handling of the logs state that the
work is being done as well as can be
expected considering the unprecedented
high water and record rush oflogs.
The sudden death of Mr. Alex. Lums-
den, ex M.L.A., was a serious loss to the
lumbering and other interests of the
Temiskaming district, and in fact the
whole Ottawa country, including the city
itself. Mr. Lumsden’s mills and limits in
the Temiskaming country were estimated
to be worth over a million dollars. Until
a couple of years ago he had charge of all
the log driving on the Temiskaming.
A curtailment in the log cut may be
looked for in the Ottawa as in other dis-
tricts this coming fall and winter. The
depression in the British market and the
seeming uncertainty of the American mar-
ket have prompted a curtailment on the
part of some operators. The free move-
ment of logs this summer also makes it
unnecessary to cut so extensively. The
production of square timber, on account of
the slackness of the English market, will
also show a marked decrease.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The lumber demand is lacking in snap
and in some of the upper grades of pine
prices are weaker. Unfortunately, the
season has been very unfavorable for fall
wheat, and the yield throughout the pro-
vince is little more than half that of last
year. However, this is partially offset by
the higher price of wheat as compared
with one year ago, although it is doubtful
that the present price will be maintained.
The strike of builders’ laborers in Toronto
has curtailed the demand for lumber in
that city, as retail dealers will not in-
crease their stocks while uncertainty ex-
ists in- respect to building operations.
There is a very noticeable disposition on
the part of operators to curtail the log
production the coming season. Two of
the largest firms in the Ottawa district are
reported te have decided not to operate
this winter, and their withdrawal
mean a large reduction in the log crop.
Very few firms will operate in square
timber, as the low prices of the past sea-
son have wiped out any profit in the
business.
will
Soft elm leads the hardwoods in point
of demand. Birch is holding its own, but
basswood has been showing signs of
weakness. Prices of other hardwoods are
about steady.
The shingle market is most irregular,
influenced by a sharp decline in the prices
of B. C. shingles. For Ontario delivery
xxxx B.C. cedar shingles are quoted at
$2.90, and xxx at $2.70. These quotations,

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,
Harvesting operations in Manitoba and
the North-West Territories are about to
commence, and great interest is shown by
all classes of business men in the prospec-
tive crop. It seems likely that the yield
of wheat will be larger than last year,
although reports indicate considerable
damage by rust. During the harvesting
period the retail demand for lumber is like-
ly to be light, but this should be followed
by an active Fall trade. Prices of lumber
are about steady, with importations from
the United States still being sold below
the average market price. The interior
mills of British Columbia are making con-
siderable shipments eastward, and the ex-
port mills are comparatively busy, foreign
shipments this year up to July 3oth com-
prising thirty-seven cargoes. There is no
improvement in the logging market. and
several of the largest camps remain closed.
Recent forest fires in British Columbia
_ have destroyed much valuable standing
timber.
UNITED STATES.
Lumber prices are practically unchang-
ed as compared with those ruling last
week. The advance in the price of yel-
low pine has been well maintained and it is
believed that the curtailment policy which
is being pursued will result in a further
advance in that class of lumber. The cur-
tailment during the month of July amount-
ed to 144,137,107 feet, which cannot but
have a sustaining influence-upon prices.
The consumption of lumber for bui'ding
purposes continues fairly active, as is
shown by the fact that during the month
of July the building permits taken out in
twenty-six of the leading cities represent-
eda valuation of $35,000,000, as com-
pared with $29,000,000 for the corres-
ponding month of 1903. Numerous orders
for rush shipments indicate that retail
stocks are light. Box and cull pine
promises to continue scarce and any re-
vival in the general trade would doubtless
be followed by an advance in the prices
of these grades. The Eastern States
market is seasonably quiet, but even in
this section the lower grades are scarce
and strong in price. Norway and hem-
lock bil! stuff are in good demand, such
timber being able to compete successfully
with southern pine. In hardwoods, elm,
birch, and ash are doing better. Soft elm
is scarce and selling at good prices. The
supply is limited and we would not be sur-
prised to see considerably higher prices
for this class of lumber before the close of
the year. Plain white and red oak are
also scarce.
GREAT BRITAIN.
Notwithstanding fine weather in Great
Britain during the past month, the con-
sumption of lumber has not increased to
any extent, and the outlook is somewhat
disappointing. The disposition of buyers
continues to be to place orders only when
they know where they can dispose of the
stock, which clearly indicates that there
is not much confidence in the future. The
depression has prevailed so long that
some importers are looking for a reaction
in the Fall, but at the present time signs
in that direction are lacking. While the
general lumber market is weak, it is re-
freshing to learn that Canadian pine and
spruce are holdine steady, no doubt due
in some measure to light imports. From
Manchester comes the report that there is
an upward tendency in prices of spruce
deals, some importers having recently ad-
vanced their quotations five shillings per
standard. It is predicted that when the
imports slacken off prices will further ad-
vance. There are large stocks of spruce
deals on hand in Manchester and Liver-
pool, but itis said that the bulk of this
class of lumber has now arrived. First
quality pine and spruce deals have sold
fairly well in a retail way, but the auction
sate prices have not been satisfactory,
prices realized being tos. per standard
under the value of the same lumber a few
weeks ago.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
It is claimed that yellow pine lumber is
now selling $1.50 a thousand higher than
in did in June.
Jobbers of cooperage stock at Buffalo
quote first-class dry elm flour barrel
staves at $10.25 to $10.75; first-class bass-
wood heading, 734 to 8 cents; coiled hoops,
$9 to $9.50 for 5% foot, and $9.50 to $10
for 6-foot.

NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CaNaDa LUMBERMAN.)
Sr. Jonn, N.B., August 15th, 1904.—
The lumber trade in this vicinity has shown
little variation since this time last month.
All the mills are running at-their full capa-
city and logs are plentiful. Shippiog has
been somewhat less brisk during August
so far than was the case during July, and
the result is apparent in the increasing
stocks on the wharves, although the sur-
plus is not yet so great as to cause any
inconvenience.
Taken altogether, the outlook for Eny-
lish deals has not changed materially
since last writing. _The same indifference
on the part of buyers, the same lack of
stimulus generally, continues. Few orders
are being booked and practically no con-
tracts are being made. Careful enquiry
leads to the conclusion that orders for
September delivery are very small.
Whether or not this condition of affairs
will continue throughout the Autumn is a
question, but the situation looks decidedly
that way.
A specification containing the usual per-
centages of usual widths would be worth
on wharf at St. John, from $11.00 to
$11.50 per M s. ft, 24 price for fourths and
ends.
Freights have shown no change from
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
those mentioned last month, viz., 32s. 6d.
to 35s- per standard to West Coast of
England.
Provincia! merchantable boards are
plentiful and the demand is not at all
brisk. They are worth, at St. John, from
$9.75 to $9.85 per M.s ft. These are
mostly disposed of in Boston and vicinity.
American deals are scarcer at this port
than has been the case for many seasons,
as most of the American manufacturers
obtained their logs from Quebec and New
Brunswick limits. The few that have
American loys have been sawing only a
few weeks and for this reason very little
American lumber is available here as yet.
To date the trade in this line bas been
quite brisk and prices good. Shipments
from Maine have been very heavy and
whether the market will hold its own or
not during the next month is a question.
While the dealers here are quite optimistic,
the probabilities are that by mid-Septem-
ber prices will not be as firm as they have
been.
American deals are usually shipped
separately, in two classes, wides and
narrows. A specification containing 20
per cent. 6s and 80 per cent. 8s would
probably be worth from $13.00 to $13.50
per Ms. ft. f.0.b. St. John, and a specifica-
tion of wides containing say 25 per cent.
gs, 65 per cent. 10s and 10 per cent. 12s
Ill.
should bring from $15.00 to $15.50 per M.
As the American logs are small this
year compared with other years past, the
proportion of widths in the above specifi-
catigns would probably be. quite hard to
obtain, and of course any increase in the
percentage of narrow deals would mean a
lower price.
Freight to New York from St. John are
offering freely at $2.75 per M.

BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
VANCOUVER, B.C., August 15, 1904.—
The saw mills are fairly busy just now, an
improvement on the conditions which have
existed all along this spring and summer.
“If we have not trade at this time of the
year when will we have?” is the interro-
gated way in which a well-known lumber-
man expressed himself this morning. “It
is due, of course, not to any cessation of
American imporiations, but to the increas-
ed demand from the Territories. There
are a great many people settling there
this year, and it is all bringing trade to
our mills.”
In the Kootenay district the industry is
fairly active. There the manufacturers
enjoy better rates, and just at present
there is a number of mills projected. Tim-
ber is being taken up also. Thomas Mc-

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The close of the month of August finds
conditions not altogether favorable to the
lumber market. The building strike in
Toronto, which is still unsettled, is having
a depressing effect and is certain to cause
a perceptible decrease in the consumption
of lumber, as the season is now getting
too late to commence work on large build-
ings in the hope of having them completed
this year. The country demand does not
show much activity, small orders for im-
mediate requirement being the rule.
course of trade. Under these conditions
prices are not likely to advance, but it
may also be said that the indications of +
weakness are becoming. fewer. There is
an absence of pessimistic sentiment, for
manufacturers recognize that they can
control the situation by curtailing the pro-
duction. One authorily estimates the re-
duction in the Ottawa Valley: log cut the
coming winter at 25 per cent. The Geor-
gian Bay production will also be curtailed.
Hardwoods for finishing purposes are
meeting with a fair demand, but the im-
plement and furniture factories are not
buying as much stock as one year ago-
It may be that they have been holding off
Con-.
servatism is to be noticed through ut'the

eee | eee INAIL)A
SSS
in the hope of a decline in prices, which
has not yet materialized,
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,
Lumber manufacturers in the Eastern
Provinces are not anticipating much im-
provement in market conditions this year.
The usual lethargy attendant upon the
summer season is in effect, and shipments
to the Eastern States have fallen off.
Prices of lumber for that market are a
little easier. Very few shipments to Great
Britain will be made during the balance of
the season. The manufacturers in both
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have
agreed to hold over their lumber rather
than sell it at the prevailing low prices. It
is recognized that a curtailment of logging
operations would be very beneficial in re-
storing healthy conditions, and this policy
is likely to be adopted by all the larger
manufacturers. The St. John River out-
put is likely to be reduced 50,000,000 feet,
and a corresponding curtailment is antici-
pated in other districts.
UNITED STATES,
The white pine trade has been unsettled
by sensational reports of damage to the
wheat crop by unfavorable weather and
by rust, the prediction being made that
the combined. winter and spring wheat
yield would not exceed 500,000,000 bush-
els. Aside from the injury to wheat, how-
ever, the indications are that there will be
an abundant harvest, as a very heavy
crop of corn is promised, and what is
equally as important, high prices are be-
ing obtained for nearly all farm products.
There is not likely to be much activity in
the market until after the presidential
election, with the exception, of course, of
that which is due to stocking up for fall
and winter requirements. Pine lumber
prices are about steady, with manufactur-
ers feeling confident that the entire stock
will be required. It is claimed that the
stocks that will be left in the docks to
carry over this year will be so small com-
pared with former years, that the manv-
facturers will prefer to carry them over
until next spring rather than sell at lower
prices. Spruce lumber is slightly weaker,
some random stock having been sold in
the Boston market as low as $16 by the
car, Hemlock is strongly held, and hard-
woods are showing better tone. Plain
sawed oak, ash, elm and birch are good
sellers, while basswood is slow. The
shingle market is in fairly good shape,
prices now being low enough to warrant
laying in a winter supply.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The reports that come to hand from
Great Britain contain very little on which
to base anticipation of an early im-
The
general trade of the country is in an un-
satisfactory condition, as shown by the
falling off in both imports and exports,
Money is also tight, brought about no
doubt by the large expenditure for the

provement in the lumber market.
Lumber imports from
most of the countries have this year been
light, but the deficiency has been more
than made good by the supplies from
Russia, where shippers have been forced
to realize on their stocks. The absence
of demand for deals for export to South
Africa has increased the depression in the
lumber trade, broad sizes which in an
ordinary year would have been shipped to
that country having been forced upon un-
willing British buyers. The demand for
pine deals is very light and the poorer
qualities are most difficult to place. Que-
bec pine deals, however, are not likely to
recede much further, as they are largely
in the hands of persons who are financially
able to hold them. The spruce market is,
if anything, lower than last week. A car.
go from Shediac, N.B., is reported to have
been sold a fortnight ago at £5 15S per
standard c¢.i.f., which is the lowest point
reached this year, At the late auction sales
spruce prices showed no improvement,
3 11 inch second and third quality bring-
ing £8 12s 6d and £7 5s respectively for
Quebec shipments. Buyers are holding
off in the expectation that there will be
large consignments in the fall. Should
this not prove to be the case, a recovery
in prices may be expected.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
There has been some gain in the volume
of business during the past week, buying
by wholesale and retail dealers being re-
sponsible for more activity; Orders for
stocking up purposes are expected to be
more in evidence during the next few
weeks. White pine prices are not likely
to recede further, and there is a_proba-
bility of some advance at least on such
grades as are meeting with most favor.
From the standpoint of the manufacturer,
conditions Unsold
stocks at the mills are larger than one
are satisfactory.
year ago, but there is a feeling of confi-
dence that the demand will eventually ab- ,
sorb the supply, whether the lumber on
hand is marketed this year or next year.
Mill owners will conduct their logging
operations this winter with a view to re-
stricting the production of lumber next
season, and mills that are being operated
day and night this year will be stocked
for day runs only next season.
There is promise of a fairly brisk tall
trade in hardwoods. Buyers are showing
more interest and are willing to take
stock whenever the slightest inducement
is offered. Manufacturers generally are
adhering to the prices which have ruled
for the past month, and, unless general
business conditions take an unfavorable
'turn, hardwood prices are not likely to
decline. Birch is still active and there is
considerable call for plain oak.

year's production. The buying power of
the farmer, however, will be almost as
great, for the price of wheat is con-
siderably year ago.
The demand for lumber is a little quiet
and prices still irregular, The Vic-
toria branch of the British Columbia
Lumber and Shingle Manufacturers’ Asso-
ciation have given notice of a reduction of
10 per cent. in the price of all rough lum-
ber, lath and shingles for delivery in Vic-
toria and district. The general tendency
of prices, however, is not downward, for
it is learned that some of the largest
manufacturers refuse to give concessions
‘to buyers and are looking for an advance
‘in prices at an early date.

No improve-
‘ment in the shingle situation can be re-
ported. One or two small manufacturers
are said to be finding difficulty in meeting
their obligations.
UNITED STATES.
At the semi-annual meeting of the
Mississippi Valley Lumbermen's Associa-
tion held at Minneapolis, Minn., on August
3oth, it was decided to make no change
in the official price list adopted on June
i5th. The secretary reported that there
is a decrease in the percentage of dimen-
sion being sawed this season as compared
with last year ; that production at the
head of the lakes will be 40 per cent. less
than a year ago; that wholesale stocks
in the hands of eastern lake jobbers are
about half what they were last year ;- and
that retail stocks everywhere are lighter
than they have been for several seasons.
‘These conditions are ape to white
pine, but reflect in a measure the general
lumber market. Yellow pine and Pacific
Coast lumber have strengthened and have
recovered part of the decline which took
place earlier in the year. The demand
from yard dealers is expanding and orders
are usually accompanied by a request for
Manufacturers are
holding prices firmly, but some whole-
salers are making concessions in order to
encourage the demand.” Hardwoods are
showing more activity and it is believed
that the volume of business for August
compared favorably with the correspond-
ing month for last year. The demand for
birch, elm and maple continues good.
immediate shipment.
GREAT BRITAIN.
After weighing the different reports that
come to hand from Great Britain, the con-
clusion is reached that there has been
some improvement in market conditions
during the past week. Business is. still
far from satisfactory, but more ordérs are
being placed at sellers’ figures than pre-
viously. Many importers, having bought
but a small proportion of their require-
ments and having relied upon large con-
signments to be secured almost at their
own figures, are discovering that less
lumber is offering than they anticipated,
and they are therefore showing more dis-
position to buy than for some time past.
First and second quality white pine is al-
most certain to remain firm, and there is
not likely to be such heavy shipments of
thirds and fourths as to affect the market
perceptibly. The most _ substantial im-
provement, however, has been in spruce.
Prices are said to havé adyanced fully
five shillings per standard as compared
with two weeks ago. The wise policy of
the Canadian shippers in refraining from
sending goods forward at an unfavorable
time is no doubt largely responsible for
the improvement. Two cargoes of St.
John deals are reported to have been sold
recently at £6 2s 6d per standard c. i. f.

ogs, 8to2z2 feet long, 14 to 22 inches,
sold at 14d per cubic foot. Spruce deals

The Scott Lumber Company, of Fred-
ericton, N. B., last week cleared a tratip
steamer from St. John to Bristol, Eng.,
with a cargo of 1,800,000 feet of spruce
This makes the third cargo for-
warded by them to Great Britain this sea-
son. This firm were recently notified that
the schooner Romeo, bound for New
Rochelle, N. Y., witha cargo of lumber
loaded by them, lost her deck-load in the
Bay of Fundy. The cargo was insured,
deals.
We are informed by the Montreal Lum-
ber Company, Limited, that they have
been given an order for all the lumber to be
used in the construction of the plant now
being erected at St. Johns, Que., by James
Stewart & Company, of New York, for
the Singer Manufacturing Company. The
approximate quantity is 1,500,000 feet,
representing a value of nearly $40,000.
When we consider that the buildings are
practically fireproof construction and that
the lumber is required only for floors and
roofing, some idea may be obtained of the
extent of the proposed buildings.

BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN )
VANCOUVER, B.C., August 29th, 1904.
—If the Finance Minister would come to
the Pacifie coast, and observe the condi-
tion of tle lumber industry, the same as
Hon. Mf. Prefontaine did the fishing in-
dustry, and take as decisive steps to place
it on a better footing, it would be the
only proper thing todo. ‘‘ I came out to
see for myself,” said Mr. Pretontaine, and
as thé result of what he saw he took im-
mediate action which will result in benefit
to thé salnion fishing industry. Ministers
who live three thousand miles away from
thé scene of the British Columbia lumber
industry cannot understand the conditions
undér which it Jabors, and if Hon. Mr.
Fielding saw for himself he would not be
slow in taking some action to preserve
Canada for the Canadians.
The Railway Commission may bring
some reief. The sessions open here this
morning, and before they are all over the
lumbermen are going to appear before it,
and ask if they cannot have better rates
on lumber, seeing that the Government
will not assist them with an equitable ad-
justment of the tariff. The rate for cedar
to points east of the western boundary of
Manitoba jis fifty cents, and the millmen

wish a reduction to gocents. The C.P.R.
denies this cgncession on the ground that
it is competifive territory with the Ameri-
can roads. Thus British Columbian lum-
bermen are prevented from shipping cedar
into Manitoba. Everything seems to help
the United States as against Canada.
Mr. H, W. D. Miller, manager of the
transportation department of the Canadian
Manpfacturers’ Association, is in the city,
and has also visited Victoria. He is col-
lecting information bearing on the rates
for lumber shipped to eastern parts of
Canada by millmen of the Pacific coast,
and this will be presented to the Railway
Commission. On Saturday Mr. Miller
conferred-with the freight rates committee
of the Board of Trade and the lumbermen.
He pronounced the discrimination against
coast mills as unjustifiable and unwarrant-
able.
Considerable rain fell
loggers particularly and millmen gener-
ally are wishing it was sufficient to check
if not extinguish the fires which have been
doing so much damage among the timber
yesterday and
during, the past month. This is the
second ‘rain since the first part of June,
and during the last month and a_ half
thousands of dollars’ worth of timber has
been destroyed, besides a number of log-
ging camps. The fires have not been
confined to any particular section, but
ranged from the timber limits in Alberta to
the coast, and on Vancouver island. The
whole province has been enveloped in
smoke for weeks past, just like a heavy
fog.
There issome talk of the stiffening: of
the price of lumber, but millmen say they
cannot see how it will be done. It is now
getting on toward the end of the season,
and when the demand begins to slacken is
hardly the time for prices to go up. Be-
sides there is product in the yards which
has been piling up since the slump last
spring, and Americans in Washington
state have not yet got rid of all their sur-
plus cut. It may stiffen on the Sound,
since the export of rough lumber into the
Canadian market has preserved the mar-
ket in the United States from demoraliza-
tion, to the detriment of Canadian interests.
There is. a report that capitalists of
Duluth, Minn., have secured 40,000 acres
of timber limits on the Duncan river in the
Kootenay and will erect a mill of 150,000

NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER.
(Correspon ‘ence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
St. Joun, N.B., August 31st, 1y04.—
The lumber trade in this vicinity is rather
more dull than it was during July. The
output has not decreased but shipments
are somewhat lighter and demand has
shown no increased activity. Some large
contracts which were held over from last
year have completed and
shipped and many of the wharves are be-
ginning to show greatly increased stocks.
It is a well-known fact that many of the

manufacturers are expecting an early
shut-down, and the probabilities are that
New Brunswick will see a duller Autumn
in the lumber business than has been the
case for many years.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
‘
September 7, 1904
Owing to extremely low water in the
St. John River the local manufacturers
have had great difficulty in keeping their
mills im cut, and the result will be that
most of them will winter many millions of
feet. Asa result of these conditions, it is
very improbable that logs will exceed in
price the !ow figures of last spring and
the chances are that there will be less cut
on the headwaters of the St. John, by 25
per cent., than was the case last winter.
During the last two months there have
been several large cargoes shipped from
this port to Australia. The Australian
market will take only dry lumber, consist-
ing of three qualities, first, second and
third merchantable (no fourths), and of an
average second, that is, as much first as
third and vice-versa. The usual sizes are
6s, 8s, 7s, 9s, and 118 and wides, but the
general run of shipments contain very few
narrows, consisting chiefly of nine inch
and up. The price of a consignment such
as this at Melbourne Wharf would be

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,
Dealers are booking a considerable
number of orders for small lots of lumber
and seem to be satisfied with the condition,
of trade, although it can hardly be. said
that the fall movement has. as yet com-
menced with full vigor. Holders of lumber
appear to have no apprehension as to their
ability to dispose ot their stocks at satis-
factory prices, consequently. there is no
pronounced pressure on the market.. White
pine, however, is showing an uneven ten-
dency. .Export grades and No. 3 cuts
and better have weakened slightly, the
common grades remain. stationary, while
box lumber, mill cull sidings, and dead
culls are slightly stiffer from the stand-
point of manufacturer’s prices. It is not
anticipated that. prices as a whole will
materially change during. the next. few
weeks, and it is almost certain. that there
will be no further decline. There isa very
liberal demand for hemlock at: firmer pri-
ces. Inch stock is unchanged, . but ‘many
.manufacturers are holding their two inch
at an advance of from 50 cents to one
dollar. The sizes 2 x 6 and 8 inch, 12 to
20 feet, are showing the most strength.
Shingles are steady, while lath prices are
a little weaker. No. 2 spruce and hem-
lock lath are off about 20 cents, and now
sell at the mills at $1.60.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
As there is very little activity in lumber
shipping circles in the Eastern Provinces,
the demand being unusually light, interest
is centered on logging operations. In
this connection a‘ peculiar situation has
arisen. The operators decided to restrict
the output of logs by at least 4o per cent.,
and unless they can secure the necessary
help at what they consider reasonable
wages, it is quite possible that the pro-
duction may be still further curtailed. The
wages paid last winter were from $28 to
$32 per month, and the men are asking
$28 this season. Many of the operators
are refusing to pay more than $20 per
month, and unless they can secure a
sufficient number of men at this rate, they
will restrict their production accordingly.
The general opinion is that while spruce
lumber prices have reached bottom, the
improvement is likely to be slow. United
States shipments have increased of late at
unchanged prices. New Brunswick
shingles are still dull and weak.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
Moderate activity characierizes the
lumber trade of Manitoba, the Territories
and British Columbia. The outlook for the
wheat crop induced some stocking up on
the part of dealers afew weeks ago, but

The Scott Lumber Company have
closed down their saw mill at Magagua-
davic, N. B., for the season, having de-
cided to hold over until next year about
5,000,000 feet of logs which they have at
Magaguadavic Lake. Their Victoria mill
at Fredericton, N. B., will be operated
until about the middle of November.
The water in the St. John river rose
very unexpectedly last week, breaking
away the booms between Little Falls and
Woodstock. The Scott Lumber Com-
pany, of Fredericton, had about 1,000,000
feet of logs carried away, and R.A. Estey
lost 180 joints of cedar. At Van Buren,
Maine, the St. John Lumber Company is
reported to have lost 5,000,000 feet of
logs. Most of the logs will no doubt be
recovered, but at considerable financial
loss.

THE GLASGOW MARKET.
Messrs. Edmiston & Mitchells, in their
last report, refer to Canadian lumber as
follows :
.DgeALs, Etc.—Business has slightly im-
proved during the month, though buyérs
are still unwilling to go in for big lines,
contenting themselves with filling up their
immediate requirements. Imports con-
tinue on a very moderate scale, and prices
are practically unaltered. Current values
are as under: Broad First Pine Deals—
£32 to £34; 11-inch, £29 to’ £31 ; ends
and non-dimensions, £22 to £24. Second
Pine Deals—11-inch and up, £17 to £19;
ends and non-dimensions, £13 to £14.10s.
Third Pine Deals—1i-inch and up, 411
to £14; ends and non-dimensions, £9 ros.
to £10 10s. Red Pine Deals—g and 11
inch, £10 to 411 ; narrows, £7 to £8 tos.
First Pine Sidings and Strips—g to 10
inch, £23 to £24; 11 to 12 inch, £25 to
£26; 13 to 14 inch, £27 to £28. Spruce
Deals—g-inch and up, 48 to £8 10s,; 7
and 8 inch, £6 15s. to £7 tos. Lower
Port Spruce—g-inch and up, £7 10s. to
£8 ; 7 and 8 inch, £6 5s. to £7.
WHITE PINE.—The import for this month
amounts ‘to 200 loads of ‘waney pine.
There has been a fair business done dur-
ing the month, and the transactions must
have amounted to 700 or 800 loads.
Oak.—There have been no imports dur-
ing the month and no inquiries.
Ex_m.—There has been some enquiry for
elm, and several transactions have taken
place of good elm at advanced prices.
Second class and soft wood continue to be
pressed on the market, but are meeting
with a very limited demand.
QUEBEC BIRCH.—The imports for the
month’consists of about 120 loads, a con-
siderable proportion of which’ was sold on
‘‘ex quay” terms at from 14d. to 2s, per
cubic foot, according to specification and
" qnality.
N. B. BircH. — There have been no
arrivals of logs, but a considerable quan-
tity of plank came to hand, the bulk of
which has gone into store.
AsH.— There has been no import of
Quebec ash, and there is practically no en-
quiry. In United States ash the imyport is
unusually light, consisting of about so
loads, most of which has found its way
into store.

SPRUCE DEALS.
The Timber Trades Journal, of London,
Eng., in its issue of September 3, says:
“‘The position of spruce deals from New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia remains just
as it was last week. We cannot trace
amongst the merchants in this port any
confirmation that the allegation that local
buyers had advanced fully 5s. in their
offers for cargoes without business result-
ing. And in point of fact, we decline to
believe it until we are furnished with the
facts upon which such assertions are
based. The spruce market is, as we have
said before, probably at its bottom, but
there has not been any jump of 5s. or
7s. 6d. per standard so far as we ¢an
traee, and if any such offers were floating
about we think we should have heard of
such advances being made. The fact is
there is a lot of fencing going about just
now, and half truths are being told as if
they were whole truths. We shall wait
until we know of real transactions at
£6 7s. 6d. to £6 ros. c.i.f. being made in
the Liverpool or Manchester market.
There is a steamer on the way here with
a cargo from St. Johbu, N.B,, and when
this is marketed we shall have a solid
basis to work upon. A cargo has been
sold by a Liverpool firm to the Bristol
Channel at £6 2s. 6d. c.i,fi This does not
look like any advance of 5s, to 7s. 6d. per
standard.”

BUSINESS NOTES.
S. .E Adam, general merchant and lum-
berman, Disraeli, Que., is reported to
have assigned to V. E. Paradis.
George H. Curry, assignee, is asking
for tenders by September 19th for the pur-
chase of the planing mill and other pro-
perty belonging to the estate of William
Curry & Son, Windsor, N. S.
A meeting will be held this week to
appoint a curator for the estate of S. E.
Adam,
D'Israeli.
The first meeting of the creditors of
general store and _ lumber,
H. & G. Curwen & Company, lumber
dealers, Eng., was held in
Liverpool on Angust goth, at which the
official receiver stated that the statement
Liverpool,
would be somewhat complicated owing to
there being assets and liabilities in New-
foundland. It seems that the company
UNITED STATES MANUFACTURERS AND WHOLESALERS =
acquired a timber concession in New-
foundland, and that for this purpose a
considerable sum was advanced to them
by creditors, If it is found possible to
realize satisfactorily on the assets, it is
probable. that the estate will show a small
surplus.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
During the past week there has not
been any definite increase in lumber activ-
ity, and some dealers express dissatisfac-
tion with the way in which the fall trade is
Opening up. It was thought that the de-
cline in manufacturers’ prices which oc-
curred during the summer season would
stimulate buying early in the fall, but so
far this has not materialized to any extent,
the number and volume of orders booked
being considerably less than one year ago.
Retail dealers are not buying with much
snap, but appear to be relying upon the
heavier stocks that are carried at the mills
as an assurance that prices will not ad-
In this they may be building upon

vance.
false ground,
wholesalers would, in our opinion, cause a
stiffening of prices, and after the Presi-
dential election in the United States is
over there may be a sharp recovery in the
grades of white pine which have declined
the most.’ The dealer who buys at present
prices for his winter and early spring re-
quirements jis not likely to make much of a
mistake. Local sentiment has improved
on account of the settlement of the strike
in the building trades, and there is likely
to be an active demand for luniber for
building purposes during the next two
months, with the most enquiry for finish-
ing material. Hardwoods are rather
featureless but maintain their firmness.
Another decline has taken place.in the
price of British Columbia shingles, which
are now selling for Ontario delivery at
$2.60 for XXX, $2.80 for XXXX and
$3.10 for XXXXX. This is a decline of
ten cents from the last quotations. White
pine shingles are slightly easier in sym-
- pathy. \ =
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
We cannot report any improvement in
the demand for spruce Inmber. An oc-
casional order is received for stock for
shipment to the Eastern States, and South
American specifications are in some de-
mand, but otherwise the market is quiet.
Clapboards are selling very slowly but
have not weakened in price to any extent.
The large mills at St. John have yet about
three months for sawing operations, but it
is Ilkely that owing to the condition of the
market the manufacturers will close down
earlier than usual. There is a plentiful
supply of lath, which are not in great re-
quest, and the expected advance in price
has not yet taken place. New Brunswick
cedar shingles are reviewed at some length
in another column. The range of prices is
quiet wide, with the lower grades showing
more firmness than Extras.
II,
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
The crop reports from Mantioba and
the Territories have been more favorable
during the past week and it is now reason-
ably certain that the yield will be up tothe
average. There is a disposition, never-
theless, to buy lumber only for immediate
requirements. Many of the retail dealers
are now carrying fairly heavy stocks, and
as the farmers are not building at the pre-
sent time, country trade is slow. In Win-
nipeg, however, the demand continues
good and the tendency of prices is to stif-
fen. One of the Winnipeg dealers re-
cently secured the contract for the lumber
for the Eaton departmental store building,
- amounting in all to upwards of one and a
half million feet. The British Columbia
mills are not particularly busy, although
there is a fair demand for fir aud a slight
improvement in the call for shingles, For
XXX shingles, 6 x 2 inches, the present
price is $2. 25- for delivery throughout
Manitoba and the North-West on a fifty
cent freight rate. Current prices at the
mills are ;: XXXXX, $1.70; XXXX, $1.50 ;
XXX, $1.40. *
UNITED STATES.
There is a fair movement of lunber
throughout the United States, but con-
servatism still characterizes Operations.
The idea is still prevalent in the minds of
some dealers that prices will go lower
‘during the winter months, and for this
reason stocking up has not been much in
evidence. The manufacturers, however,
are of the opinion that the fall and winter
trade will be of a satisfactory volume, as
ee is well-known that the stocks of retail
dealers throughout the ‘North-Western
and Eastern States are very low. Buying
for immediate requirements is expected to
represent an aggregate amount of busi-
ness of considerable proportions. Stocks
of unsold lumber at the head of the lake
are getting low, and it is possible that the
cut will be shipped closer to the saws
than usual. Half of the lumber to be
sawn between now and the close of the
season is already sold for eastern ship-
ments. The settlement of the packers’
strike in Chicago has been followed by an
increased demand for lumber. Building
operations are active and there is a large
consumption of common boards. While
/
the demand for hardwoods is not particu-
larly strong the condition of the market is
Satisfactory. Birch and oak are the
leaders and the supply does not seem to
be as plentiful as earlier in the season.
A scarcity of lath has developed in the
Lake Superior district. Stocks seem to
have faded away before it. was fully real-
ized and the demand is as strong as at any
time during the summer. At the recent
meeting of the Mississippi Valley Lumber-
men’s Association it was suggested that
lath prices might be advanced, and while
no change was made, the condition of sup-
ply and demand may bring about con-
siderably higher prices in the near future.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The Board of Trade returns show that
during the first eight months of this year
there were imported into the United King-
dom 3,719,278 loads of sawn ‘and plain
lumber, a decrease of 173,189 loads as
compared with the corresponding period
in 1903. The import of Canadian lumber
was 762,850 loads, as compared with 871,-
334 loads in the previous year. It will be
seen, therefore, that two-thirds of the de-
crease in the lamber imports is due to
lighter shipments from Canada. This ex-
plains in part why Canadian stock has not
declined in price as much as the Baltic
lumber. The stock on hand, while ample,
is not excessive, and prices are about
steady. There is still some fear, however,
that the bottom has not yet been reached
and there is little inclination to purchase
in anticipation of an advance in prices this
fall. While there has been some improve-
ment of late, it has not been sufficiently
marked to entirely restore confidence, and
only a few who are willing to take heayy
risks are buying in a speculative way.
The latest transaction reported from Liver-
pool for spruce .was on the basis of
46 2s. 6d. per standard c.i.f.
NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.
The volume of business in this line is
fairly good but prices are decidedly un-
_ Satisfactory. Extras are being freely offer-
ed, f.o.b. Boston rate, all the way from
$3.00 to $3.25 per M, with the bulk of the
sales probably being made at $3.05 or
$3.10. Clears are comparatively stiffer
and range in quotations from $2.60 to
$2.80. Second clears are in most excel-
Jent demand and we would eall the mar-
ket stiff at $2.25 to $2.35. Clear whites
are quoted at from $2.00 to $2.25, with
the bulk of the sales being made at $2.10
to $2.15. Extra No. 1's are mainly sold
in the Provinces.
The New Brunswick manufacturers
have generally small stocks on hand of
extra No. 1's. The manufacturers in the
Province of Quebec are not on the aver-
age so well cleaned up. While some mills
are completely sold out, certain others
have fairly long stocks. On the whole,
however, we would say that the average
stock of extra No. 1's was about the
normal and that the fall demand will prob-
ably take care of this grade all right.
Onr opinion in regard to the future is
that the market will eventually adjust itself
to the old-time difference in price as be-
tween extras and clears. In other words,
the clears will shortly bring within 25 or
30 cents per M as muchas extras. The
stock of clears and second clears is likely
to be cleaned up this fall and the probabil-
ilies are that the demand will considerably
exceed the supply on these two grades.
In spite of the low prevailing prices on
extras, and the rather apathetic demand
for this grade, still we expect to see the
manufacturers at the close of the season
with reasonably bare yards.
There is no occasion for any further de-
cline in price on any grades, as extras are
now selling at Boston as low as the B.
C. red cedar shingles. It may be tha
after the Presidential election in the States
is over the market will revive, but this
may be questionable, and our opinion is
that all manufacturers will consult their
own interests by going into the woods this
winter for a very small stock, and further-
more omitting the winter manufacture to
a considerable extent, so as to give the
market a chance to recover before spring.
For the average manufacturer there is
no profit in shingles at present prices, and
the only thing that can bring prices back
to a profitable level will be a decided cur-
tailment in the output by the manufactur-
ers concerned.

NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
St. Joun, N.B., September 15, 1904.—
The umber trade has shown no great ac-
tivity in this vieinity during the last month.
Shipments from this port of all kinds of
lumber have been very light. This means,
of course, an increase in stocks, which are
not yet, however, large cnough to cause
their owners any inconvenience or un-
easiness. The market for short lumber
has shown no improvement since last
writing. Shipments during August and
so far during September have been very
light compared with the same period last
year.
Laths are quite plentiful and promise to
continue so. Sales are only fairly brisk
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
and enquiries are fewer than they have
been. It is generally felt by dealers here
that a rise in price is about due, but the
chances are that it will be late in the fall
before any increase in demand will affect
prices, owing to the stocks which must be
got rid of.
present about $1.85 per M, and American
$2.15 per M, f.o.b. St. John. Freights to
New York on laths are quoted at 65 tents
Provincial laths are worth at
per M.
Cedar shingles are moving quite briskly,
although prices have shown weakness
during the past two months. Stocks of
high grades are only moderate, while the
lower grades are practically cleaned up.
It is generally felt by those interested that
shingles have now reached the rock-bottom
figure, and that the next change will cer-
tainly be in favor of the manufacturers.
This expectation is based on the fact that
shipments of shingles have been light and
also that the supplies at the lumber yards
throughout the Eastern States must be ac-
cordingly small. American cedar shingles
are worth t.o.b. St. John: Extras, from
$2.85 to $2.95; clears,$2.40 to. $2.45 ; 2nd
clears, $1.90; No. 1, 90 cents. Freight
rates on shingles to Boston are quoted at
22% cents per M.
Spruce boards are moving slowing. The
demand for them is less than has been the
case for several seasons past. They are
plentiful at $9.75 to $10 for Provincial and
$11.50 to $12 for American, all on wharf
at St. John.
The outlook is now that Jarge quantities
of all kinds of lumber will be wintered at
this port, and in some cases it may mean
that a cessation of operations will be
necessary before the winter Sets in, owing
to lack of wharf room. With one or two
exceptions, the mills on the St. John
usually close down about the middle of
December,resuming again early in March,
but, owing to the conditions mentioned
above, the chances are that many mills in
this vicinity will have ceased sawing by
mid-November.
The barquentine Lovisa will load lum-
ber at Weymouth, N.S., for Buenos Ayres
or Rosaria at $9.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
Lumber is moving more briskly than last
week. Dealers who have been running
along for some time with light supplies
are now stocking up to some extent, and
invariably request that the
shipped immediately. The need of the
stock and the fear of an inadequate supply
of cars for transportation are responsible
for this urgency. The most activity is
lumber be
confined to the cities, where the require-
ment for building purposes is quite large.
Common boards in pine are meeting with
a ready sale; while hemlock in boards
and dimension timber is in steady’ re-
quest. The general hardwood trade
is showing more life under the lead of oak
and birch. The former is slightly firmer in
price, as the supply is by no means large.
Basswood still lags, the substitution of
other woods last year owing to its abnormal
scarcity having affected the demand this
season. Interior finishing stock is active,
as buildings have now advanced to the
point where they are ready for this work.
There is an enlarged demand for pine
lath and higher prices are predicted., It is
believed that the supply will not last until
the mills resume operations next spring,
as there is not a large stock at the mills
in Ontario and a decided shortage has de-
veloped in the Lake Superior district.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Spruce lumber prices are being main-
tained, but trade is still on the quiet side.
There is a fairly active movement of stock
in a retail way in Montreal, where build-
ing operations are being pushed with some
vigor. In the country districts, however,
there is not much doing and stocks at the
mills are accumulating. The supply of
inch lumber in both spruce and hemlock
is large and prices of this size are easier.
There has been .a further decline in the
price of square and waney pine timber,the
best price obtainable at Quebec for 19 to
20-inch waney being about 65 cents.
Square birch is also a shade weaker.
UNITED STATES.
The lumber business in the United States
is proceeding along very satisfactory lines.
Business in July was better than in August,
and September so far has shown a sub-
stantial improvement over last month.
Evidence develops almost everyday that
stocks at the producing’ points are not
large,and are in strong hands, and there
is little doubt as to the maintenance of
prices. Wholesale dealers’ report an in-
creased enquiry for white pine and a larger
movement is looked for next month. East-
,ern retail dealers are finding that it is im-
possible to secure lumber by making an
_offer lower than the prices asked by the
wholesalers, who in turn. have been pre-
vented from lowering their quotations
owing to the firm attitude of the manufac-
turers. The box business is for the first
time in many months showing signs of an
unsettled condition, and consequently box
lumber is not quite as firm as it was.
Pennsylvania producers have advanced the
base price of hemlock $1 per thousand to
$16.50, but the basis at Buffalo continues
at $15.50. The advance in the price of
yellow pine lumber has been helpful to
hemlock. Spruce prices are being well
maintained ; the manufacturers’
standpoint spruce has not looked so pro-
mising for some months as it does now,
and as the mills will soon cease operating
for the season, prices are not likely to be
from
-ower this year.
The demand for’ hardwood lumber is
steadily expanding. Plain oak is said to
be selling $2 per thousand higher than it
did one month ago, with some doubt as to
the ability ofthe manufacturers to meet
the requirement. All
steady with the exception of basswood,
which is being offered occasionally at
lower prices. The Wisconsin Hardwood
Lnmbermen’s Association have adopted a
new price, list which shows that there is
the strongest confidence in the future and
that prices are expected to be consider-
ably higher before January.

near future should witness some improve-
ment both in demand and prices. The
feeling is gaining ground even among im-
porters that prices have seen their worst.
The Timber News states that spruce deals
are decidedly firmer and that there is a
distinct advance in values. The volume
offering is less than usual at this season of
the year and there are no indications so
far of an excessive supply. Birch planks
continue to be asked for, and as the sup-
ply is smaller than usual, prices will prob-
ably be fully maintained. Birch logs are
not in much demand. | Hemlock is readily
‘saleable, but shippers have restricted their
output and will not now take orders at-the
figures which have prevailed.

of logs may have to be stored for the win-
ter.
Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Company,
in their report of September 1oth, state :
“There have been no arrivals in either
white pine or spruce during the fortnight,
but, as mentioned in our last, we placed a
cargo of former for this month’s shipment
at $26 for shippers and $20 for second
quality. In spruce two cargoes. have
been placed—one for September shipment
at $22.50 and $18.50 for shippers and
second quality, and one for October ship-
ment at $21.50 and $16.50. .There is not
much enquiry for white pine just now, but
spruce is inquired for, most of the dealers’
yards being here, and we think a prompt
arrival would do well. The only receipt
of shingles to note is 65,000: Long Cedar
by the steamer ‘‘Ocamo,” which were
sold at $5.66; both these and Dimension
are wanted. The ‘‘Success” is looked
for with principally Long, which should
bring full prices. For Cedar Laying, of
usual description, there is not much en-
quiry, but we understand some Clears and
Second Clears have been placed for future
delivery at $3.85 and $4 for the former,
and $3.45 and $3.50 for the latter. We
could not venture a higher valuation than
$2.10 for the usual Laying, as dealers al-
ways have some.”
WISCONSIN HARDWOOD PRICES.
The ninth annual meeting of the Wiscon-
sin Hardwood Lumbermen's Association
was held at Oshkosh, Wis., on September

IMPORTANT DEAL IN LUMBER
PROPERTY.
A large transaction in lumber property
was closed last week, when C. M. Bost-
wick, of St. John, N.B., transferred to the
Pejepscot Paper Company, of Brunswick,
Maine, all his extensive holdings at Great
Slamon River, Kings County, and Martin's
Head, St. John County, N.B. The prop-
erty comprises 100,000 acres of timber
limits, chiefly spruce, the Great. Salmon
river mill, a store, two schooners and
several buildings, The price paid is
said to have been in the vicinity of
$300,000. The property was purchased
fourteen years ago by Mr. Bostwick from
the Davidson Estate, since which time it
has been greatly improved.
It is understood to be the purpose of the
new owners to cut logs during the coming
winter and to operate under the name of
the Bay Shore Lumber Company.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,
The lumber trade has lost no ground
during the past week, as there has been
an average movement and prices have
been well maintained. There are no signs
of weakness, and it is believed that when
the elections in this country and the United
States are over there will bea revival in
the demand for lumber anda stiffening of
prices. While the quantity of unsold lum-
ber at the mills will be larger than at the
close of navigation last year, it will not be
more than enough to supply the demand
until the new cut is ready next year,
Several of the largest firms will operate
conservatively in the woods’ this winter
and will figure upon stocking their mills
for days runs only next season. In the
face of arestricted production, there is
no good reason for a decline in pine lum-
ber prices.
The factory demand for hardwoods is
more lively, which is taken to indicate
that consumers have been running along
with light stocks and are now willing to
purchase for their winter requirements at
present, prices. Interior finish stock is
experiencing a good movement, and there
has been some improvement in the call
for basswood,
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Increased activity is reported from some
of the spruce districts, although the volume
of trade is still small for this season of the
year. There is a better feeling in respect
to British business, the general opinion
heing that prices are likely to improve be-
tween now and the end of the year. “Mer-
chantable spruce deals are worth about
$12 at St. John. Dullness prevails in log--
ging circles‘on account of the contemplat-
ed contraction in operations. It is esti-
mated that the coming winter’s cut on the
Upper St. John river will not be more than
65,000,000 feet, as compared with an
average cut of about 120,000,000 feet.
@perations on the Miramichi and Resti-
gouche rivers will also be restricted, and
in Nova Scotia a policy of curtailment will
be followed to a lesser extent. There is
an improved demand for lath, but shingles
are still weak, with a larger number of
sales of Extras at $3.10 for Boston deliv-
ery.
UNITED STATES, .
Reports from the United States are not
so universally favorable as last week, trade
in the east in particular being somewhat
dull, In Philadelphia and New York the
volume of business is by no means
~ Satisfactory. In Chicago and district there
iS a vast amount of building under way
and lumber dealers are doing a steady
trade, with prices well maintained. The
manufacturers in the Lake Superior dis-
trict make no complaint as to business,
The bulk of their output has been dis-
posed of and the small balance is almost
certain to be held at firm prices. Dealers
are buying southern pine quite liberally
and prices have advanced from $1 to $2
per thousand. There. is less strength
shown by spruce, random cargoes at
Boston having sold at slightly lower
prices. Hardwoods generally are in good
demand. Much of the northern produc-
tion has passed into the hands of dealers,
who are endeavoring to keep up prices.
It is predicted that there will be a liberal

there is consequently some hesitancy on
the part of eastern buyers. Plain white
and red oak are in fair demand and light
supply, soft elm is scarce and basswood
is plentiful.
There has been a recovery of about ten
cents in the price of red cedar shingles.
Reports Washington state that
wholesalers are eager to buy and that the
situation shows a distinct improvement.
from
This has been reflected in other kinds of
shingles, although no advance in the
east has taken place.
GREAT BRITAIN.
Indications are more numerous that the
British lumber market is gaining strength.
Business in London is brisker and import-
ers are beginning to spcculate. If the
market were removed from the influence
of Baltic shipments, there would probably
be a surprisingly quick recovery in prices,
but as this.is out of the question the im-
provement promises to be very gradual.
Stocks are changing hands more freely
between merchant and consumer than has
been the case for many months, and
prices at: the recent public. sales have
maintained a fairly steady level. Spruce
deals are showing unusual strength. One
report states : ‘“‘There has been a much
better’ demand for spruce during the
week, and if this were only to continue
for a few weeks at the same rate, there
would be a substantial rise in prices to
record. Stocks of 3x9 unassorted spruce
have been cleared by the principal agents
at £9 per standard, and many lines of
unassorted that sold at £8 5s at the
auctions a short time ago have been re-
sold by the buyers at 49 per standards.”
Importers are beginning to feel that there
are not likely to be heavy consignments
from Canada, which is doing much to-
wards restoring confidence.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
E. B. Foss & Company, of Bay City,
Mich., have imported from the Georgian
Bay district about 5,000,000 feet of lum-
ber a month during the season.
Crate & Sparham, cf Smith's Falls,
Ont., have just bought 400 acres in Beck-
with Township, near Franktown, on which
there is a considerable quantity of timber.
The Saginaw Lumber & Salt Com-
pany, of Sandwich, Ont., last week sold
3,000,000 feet of white pine lumber to the
Detroit Lumber Company and Lowrie &
Robinson.
The Spanish River Boom Company
handled approximately 160,000,000 feet
of logs this season. Last year the output
was 200,000,000 feet and next year it is
likely to be still smaller.
Robert Potts, of Fredericton, N.B., has
entered into a contract with the St. John
Lumber Company, of Van Buren, Maine,
to cut 3,000,000 feet of logs for them
during the coming season.
The Pigeon River Lumber Company, of
Port Arthur, Ont., will have five camps in
operation this winter, three on the Cana-
dian side and two on the American side,
It is expected that from 30,000,000 to
35,000,000 feet of logs will be cut.
Hon. E. J. Davis, Commissioner of
Crown Lands for Ontario, is asking for
tenders by November 15th for the right to
cut the red and white pine timber on a
number of small parcels of cut-over and
burnt-over lands situated in the Town-
ships of Burleigh and Johnson and district
of Algoma. The berths in Algoma dis-
trict include No. 108, on the north shore
of Lake Huron, and Berth A, on Dog
Lake, 64 miles west of Chapleau.
There is now about 18,250,000 feet of
last season's log cut of the provincial oper-
ators hung up in the upper St. John river,
divided as follows :

In addition to this the St. John Lumber
Company at Van Buren were held up for
7,500,000 feet. This company, however,
will operate quite extensively this winter.
They will get out about 15,000,000 feet.
The Van Buren Lumber Company will al-
so operate on a fairly large scale, their es-
timate being about 10,000,000 feet.
NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER.
(Correspon 'ence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
St, Joun, N.B., Sept, goth, 1904.—
Things are somewhat brisker in lumber
circles than they have been for some
months past. All the mills in this vicinity
are running at their full capacity and the
annual output .f this year promises to be
about the average. Logs are coming
along very freely and the indications are
that there will-be perhaps 20,000,000 feet
piled and wintered at this port alone. As
far as is known at present there have been
very few large contracts made with log-
gers. This is a sure indication of a small
cut this winter, as under ordinary condi-
tions the choppers are in the woods by
this time.
Many manufacturers are in a position
this year where they have to run their
mills at a loss or cease sawing alto-
gether, owing to the high price they paid
for their logs. As it means a heavy sum
of money being tied up for a year at least
unless they did so, those who were in that
position have preferred to do the former.
It may be depended upon that they will
not be in a similar condition next year.
This means that they will be more cautious
in buying and contracting and already the
reaction is being felt in logging circles,
which fact is indicated in a lack of demand
for woodsmen and a consequent falling off
in wages in that line ranging from 10 to 15
per cent.
While shingles have not shown any in-
creased activity during the last fortnight,
lJaths appear to be considerably more in
demand and those who have any to sell
are very hopeful of what the next month
will bring forth. Shipments of laths have
been fairly heavy since last writing, but
the quantity of shingles on the different
wharves has increased perceptibly.
The English market looks somewhat
brighter than was the case at this time
last month. Enquiries are more frequent
and the demand has increased to such an
extent that those interested are just now
feeling very optimistic. Of course, this
demand is not by any means heavy, but,
compared with the depression of the last

few months, it is decidedly encouraging to
the manufacturers.
Shipments have been sufficiently heavy

inconvenience from this Source for the

seem to be, according to the opinions of

they will be higher yet before the closing

BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN )
VaNcouvER, B.C., September 26, 1904.
—The depression in the lumber business
has been the cause of a cut in prices of
lumber in this city, and the war has been
carried on by the millmen until now figures
are in many inStances as much as 35 per
cent. off the list price. It all started in
one firm giving a price below the schecule
agreed upon by the B C. Lumber and
Shingle Manufacturers’ Association, and
to which all the members subscribed, and
of another when hearing it going it still
lower. Shingles are being sold for $1.35
and $1.50. ‘‘There are times,” one of the
prominent manufacturers said on Satur-
day, ‘‘when most of us feel we should be
put in an asylum until this irrational feel-
ing has worn off. We know we are hurt-
ing ourselves and the trade, but still we
go ahead.” ;
A feature of the depression in the log-
ging industry is the cornering of the avail-
able supply. Especially is this the case
in cedar. Most of the independent loggers
are in financial difficulties, and since the
government has refused to allow export,
they have to wait until conditions bright-
en. They have stopped cutting, and those
who have the money are now quietly buy-
ing up all the cedar and the fir, By spring
logs may take a big jump and will be very
high if the winter is as unfavorable as last
in getting out timber.
Export of lumber is small, The fleet
now loading is only three vessels, the few-
est on record. They are the Harold and
Halewood at Hastings mill, and the Olive-
bank at Chemainus. Three charters only
are reported, the William H. Talbot, the
Admiral Tegethoff and the Balboa. A
record was made in loading the Olive-
bank. She took on 2,5-7,000 feet, the
largest cargo ever shipped at Chemainus,
and this was put on through one hatch by
the Victoria & Vancouver Stevedoring
Company in 22 lay-days, an average of
114,000 feet per day.
Several mill fires have taken place dur-
ing the month. The mill at Kamloops of the
Kamloops Lumber Company, of which
George McCormick, M.P., is president,
was burned, with a loss of $20,000. Some
lumber was also burned. Mr. G. F. Fowler,
M.P., is on his way west, and when he
arrives it will be decided whether the mill
will be rebuilt at Kamloops or Savano,
Messrs. Braden & Johnston, who have a
mill at Salmon Arm, lost the plant and all
their The loss will be about
$2,500, with no insurance. Mr. McCor-
mick, when he heard of the misfortune,
kindly offered to supply them with a boiler.
They will rebuild so as to be ready to cut
early in the spring. A watchman slept at
the No. 1 mill of the King Lumber Com-
pany, near Cranbrook, and the mill was
burned, he escaping with difficulty from

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The present condition of the lumber
trade is not very different from that which
prevailed one week ago. The volume of
business is about normal, and there is
practically no change in prices. Country
shipments are not as heavy as might be
expected, but on the other hand there is
a more active demand in Toronto, where
building operations continue brisk. At-
tempts to break prices of white pine, on
the ground that manufacturers are carry-
ing larger stocks than one year ago, have
not been very successful, which leads’ to
the conclusion that white pine is upon a
stable foundation. There is no doubt
that the percentage of this year’s cut
still in the hands of producers is consider-
ably larger than at the corresponding
time last year, but this is offset by the
contemplated curtailment in logging
Operations the coming winter. Camps
were put into the woods later than usual,
the general disposition being to curtail
the output by about 25 per cent.
Dealers are contracting quite liberally
for hardwoods, but have found no diffi-
culty in fulfilling their wants. Prices are
quite firm, however, and an active fall
demand may bring about an advance in
some lines. Basswood is showing more
life.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
The lumber market of Western Canada
does not show much improvement, prices
encouraging to producers.
still being somewhat demoralized. The
demand in Winnipeg continues active, as
the building permits. issued during the
present year have reached in value
$8,000,000. . Many other buildings are
contemplated this fall and it is expected
that the expenditure for the year will be
about $10,000,000. The competition from
American lumber is less severe than dur-
ing the summer period, though consider-
able of the trade is still going across the
line. The recent report concerning the
withdrawal of the Mountain Lumber Man-
ufacturers’ Association from the honorary
list of. the Western Retail Lumbermen’s
Association is true in part only.. While it
has been decided to discontinue.the rela-
tionship which has existed between the
two associations, it is not the.intention of
the manufacturers to sell directly to con-
sumers, unless, perhaps, in. some, excep-
tional cases.
British Columbia shingles are in good
demand, the low prices having stimulated
buying to some extent. No. 1 are quoted
in Winnipeg at $2.10 wholesale, and: No.
2 at $1.80. . There has been an advance
ranging from 15 to 25 cents in the price of
lath, which are not plentiful. t
UNITED STATES.
The lumber market of the United States
as a whole is exhibiting a strength that is
There is the
usual fall movement of. northern pine, as
there has lately been considerable buying
of stock for shipment before the close of
navigation. There is very little lumber
for sale in the Lake Superior district,
which, considered in connection with the
moderate demand which has prevailed
during the year, is but additional evidence
that the supply of white pine timber is be-
coming exhausted. There has been an
advance of 50 cents in the price of No. 1
boards. No. 3 and 4 boards are moving
rapidly to supply the box demand, which
is more active. Buffalo and Tonawanda
dealers are bcoking larger orders for
New York. Spruce prices are steady and
dealers appear satisfied with the outlook.
Some of the eastern mills have already
shut down.
The hardwood trade is each day getting
into better condition, both inquiries and
orders being more numerous. There is a
fair stock of hardwoods remaining in the
hands of manufacturers, but no greater
than is likely to be required before the
new cut is ready next year, and if the de-
mand should revive as many predict, a
shortage may result. It is estimated that
there are 30,000,000 feet of inch maple
held by Michigan manufacturers. Thick -
maple, however, is in light demand and
‘reached.
If,
ee see
prices are quite stiff. Maple flooring has
a'so improved. Basswood is looking up
and promises to recover from its recent
letharey.
The scarcity of white pine lath in the
Like Superior district, of which previous
m ntion was made, continues, and prices
are slightly higber. Mixed lath are more
plentiful and proportionately easier in
price. Red cedar shingles have recover-
ed in a remarkable manner. Dealers now
fear a shortage in the supply and are pay-
ing a premium of 10 to 15 cents for prompt
delivery. This is partly due to the difficulty
in securing transportation, the railroads
being the wheat
traffic.
overwhelmed by
GREAT BRITAIN.
We do not care to state emphatically
that the corner has been turned in the de-
pression which has characterized the
British lumber market for the past year,
but indications undoubtedly point in that
direction. On account of the near ap-
proach of the close of the importing sea-
son, buyers are disposed to close con-
tracts whenever they are offered any in-
ducement. Uptothe present time con-
signment cargoes have been feared, but
as freight rates have advanced, the mar-
ket is not likely to suffer much from this
cause. Notwithstanding the present in-
activity, the opinion is almost universally
held that buyers of deals at present prices
will be enabled to realize considerable
profit before another importing season is
Pine is steady, as practically
no stock is being thrown upon the market
unreservedly, and there is an increasing
‘demand for the regular lines of spruce.
The latest sales of spruce have ranged
from £6 5s to £6 12s 6d c. i. f. London,
‘according to specifications and stock. A
‘small carge of Halifax spruce is reported
‘to have been sold for Manchester delivery
at £6 10s ¢c: 1. f.
At an auction sale held by Churchill &
Sim, London, Eng., on September 28th,
what was termed first quality pine, from
Montreal, sold at £16 ros for 10-16 feet,
1%x7 inch, to £18 15s for 2x11 inch,
while second quality 3x9 inch brought £13

The following report of the Barbados
lumber market is furnished by Messrs. S.
P. Musson, Son & Company: ‘ There
have been no receipts of either white pine
or spruce since our last fortnightly report,
neither have we heard of any further
transactions. The cargo of white pine
which we advised as-having sold to arrive
should be here shortly. A prompt arrival
of spruce would probably bring $22, as
dealers are partly bare. The ‘‘ Success ”’
has arrived from Paspebiac, Que., bring-
ing 1,300,000; of these 969,000 were
Long Gaspe cedar, which were placed at
$5.76 to $6.27 ; a small quantity of Dimen-
sion brought $4.25, $6.35, $7.35 and $7.50
for 4, 5,6 and7 inch respectively. A lot of
113,000 Cedar Laying were sold at $2.20;
this sale cannot be considered as a criter-
ion of the market, as it was made to an
outsider and could not be repeated.”
THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
OTTAWA, October 7, 1904.—The sum-
mer lassitude in Ottawa district lumber
circles promises to be followed by a fall
and winter activity. While trade is quiet
as yet, prices are holding firm. There
seems to be but little surplus stock, and
holders are not willing to shade. There is
a considerable movement of lumber, but it
is confined to the American market. The
dullness in the English market continues,
and the high-priced Canadian stuff is be-
ing displaced by the cheaper Baltic pro-
The Ottawa district operators
are of the opinion that the depression in
the Old Country market has about reached
its height, and that an improvement must
duction,
soon follow.
Already manufacturers and dealers are
talking next year’s prices, and one ex-
pressed the opinion that the present seas-
on’s prices would hold firm, although
there might be some shading from the
extra high prices. Any break that may
occur will, itis believed, be confined to
the Georgian Bay district.
Everything points toa shortage in the
lumber cut of the present season. While
it may not be much less than last season,
it certainly will be considerably short of
previous seasons.
There is certain to be a large shortage
in the output of logs in the Ottawa district
this fall and winter, and consequently a
corresponding shortage in the lumber cut
next summer. Both the Hull Lumber
Company and the Estate of Robert Hurd-
man have decided not to manufacture
logs, and other firms will reduce their cut.
The freedom with which the logs came
down stream this summer promises a big
supply for early sawing next summer.
While the Ottawa river is full of logs,
there is seemingly great difficulty in get-
ting them down stream. On account of
scarcity of logs, the Shepard & Morse
Company has found it necessary to shut
down its mill at Ottawa.
McLachlan Bros., Arnprior, W. C. Ed-
wards Company, Rockland, and the
Hawkesbury Lumber Company, Hawkes-
bury, all gave their employees their an-~
nual treat this year by a visit to the Otta-
wa Exhibition. The expenses were all
borne by the companies.

the timber now coming in is fully equal to

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,
This week finds the lumber trade more
active than for a long time, the fine
weather being responsible for the increas-
ed business. ‘If this kind of weather con-
tinues for a month,” remarked a local
dealer, ‘‘ we will have little stock left in our
yard.” There are practically no complaints
of slow trade, while prices are exhibiting
considerable strength. Reports from the
northern mill districts are universally to
the effect that there are no signs of
weakness, but on the other hand
there is a feeling that there will be no
necessity to lower prices in order to mar-
ket all the lumber that is now in the hands
of manufacturers. Compared with a month
or six weeks ago, a marked increase of
confidence is shown. Some dealers are
Picking up considerable stock in advance
of the Presidential election, as it is thought
that prices will stiffen when that event is
out of the way. The demand for low
grade pine is still a feature, with the upper
Srades relatively weaker. Of the hard-
woods, elm and birch are about the best
sellers, but there is a little more inquiry for
basswood. Lath prices are stronger and
One or two large sales have recently been
placed. A manufacturer who has Carrried
his lath, about six million pieces, all
season, because he could not obtain a
Satisfactory price, recently disposed of the
entire quantity at the figure which he had
been asking, which is evidence of the im-
proved tone of the market.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The Eastern Canada lumber market is
showing more activity as the result of an
increased domestic demand. The Domin-
ion Government has under way harbor
improvements at several points for which
considerable lumber will be required, and
the many new buildings and other works
about to be undertaken by the Intercolon-
ial Railway is expected to influence the
lumber market. Shipments to the United
States have also increased and a more
hopeful feeling is entertained in respect to
British trade. Although considerable lum-
ber will of necessity be carried over the
winter, manufacturers show no disposition
to reduce prices below their present low
basis. Cedar shingles are no more than
holding their own and it is still possible to
buy good Extras at $3.15 on Boston rate
of freight.
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,
Lumber conditions in the West are not
improving very rapidly. In Winnipee
there is a good demand for stock and
prices are steady at the lower range
which has prevailed for some time, but
country business is rather disappointing.
Many of the retail dealers, anticipating a
greater demand than has yet materializ-
ed, are now carrying fairly heavy stocks
and will need to buy but little during “the
winter months. Considerable American
lumber is still being sold in Winnipeg and
Southern Manitoba, although we are in-
formed that the quality of the lumber
brought in does not compare with the
home product.. The final estimate of. the
North-West wheat crop is 60,000,000
bushels, which is a Jarger production
than last year, and, considering the pres-
ent market value of wheat, the buying
power of the farmer will be considerably
above the average, and he should beina
good financial position to undertake
needed improvements to buildings.
UNITED STATES.
There has been a marked improvement
in the northern pine trade of the United
States, and it now appears that the mills
will carry a very light stock into the win-
ter. Notwithstanding that the East has
bought sparingly, the bulk of this year’s
production has passed into the hands of
dealers and consumers. Prices have
stiffened in some districts to the extent of
$1 per thousand, although there is no
change at Buffalo, Tonawanda and other
Eastern wholesale distributiny ‘centres.
Buffalo dealers report a shortage of cer-
tain sizes of barn boards, and some of the
higher grades are moving more actively.
Southern pine is also firm and the base
price of hemlock at New York has been
marked up to $17. The spruce market is
steady, with indications of firmness during
the winter months. The demand for hard-
woods has been stimulated by the starting
up of furniture and implement factories.
Basswocd 1s being inquired for more gen-
erally and soft elm sells readily. The oak
situation is rather peculiar, there being a
decided scarcity of plain stock, while
quartered oak is very plentiful and in little ..
demand.
Difficulty in obtaining red cedar shingles
Owing to a car shortage has caused

more liberal buying of the other kinds,
which are firm in price. Lath are still
strong, with some dealers holding for a
further advance.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The British lumber market continues
to show improvement of a moderate char-
acter and there has been a slight increase
in consumption. Consumers are more in-
clined now to doa little speculative buy-
ing than has been the case for
months past. The mahogany market at
London has taken a decided turn for the
better, and at Liverpool there is an im-
proved demand for all kinds of lumber.
Considerable business is being done in
some
pine and spruce, with an upward tendency
in prices. Shippers are asking £6 10s per
standard for St. John spruce cargoes for
delivery on the east coast and are refusing
offers five shillings below that figure. A
West Bay cargo is reported to have been
sold on the Mersey at £6 10s c.i.f. There
are some enquiries for square and waney
timber, but the consumption is not active
and stocks are ample to meet require-
ments. There is a good demand for rock
elm, and as stocks are low prices could be
easily advanced.
The feature of the month of September
was the small importation of lumber from
the wood-producing countries. It is now
quite certain that the imports this year
will be on a moderate scale compared with
last season, and when this is taken into
consideration, stocks cannot be consider-
ed heavy.
A statement of the London dock stocks
on September goth shows that the supply
of pine and spruce is considerably lighter
than one year ago. Of pine deals there
were 422,488 pieces, as compared with
The stock
of red pine deals was 45,892 pieces, as
against 81,545 pieces, and the stock of
spruce deals 359,260 pieces and 490,029
pieces respectively for the two years. It
will be seen that a considerable decrease
is shown in each instance.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
The last of the St. John river corpora-
tion log drive reached the boom limits at
Fredericton, N. B., last week.
The Scott Lumber Company, of Fred-
ericton, N. B., expect to hold over until
next season between and
10,000,000 feet of logs.
8,000,000
Keenan Bros., of Owen Sound, Ont.,
are offering one anda half million cedar
shingles, 10 inch clear butts and better, at
$2.35 per M, also one million second class
shingles at $1.50.
A two mile timber perth, situated at the
head of Canaan river, was sold at the
Crown Land office, Fredericton, N. B.,
last week to George McSweeney and
John Crandall for $51 per mile. James
Gastro was the applicant.
During the past season about 50,000,-
000 feet of logs came through the south-
west branch of the Miramichi river, in
New Brunswick, and about 22,000,000 ft.
from the north-west branch. Of this
amount at least 15,000,000 feet will be
wintered, divided as follows : Richards,
4,500,000 feet ; Lynch, 3,500,000 feet ;
Birchall, 2,000,000 feet; Hutchison,
1,500,000 feet ; Welch, 2,000,000 feet ;
Hickson, 1,500,000 feet. Snowball & Com-
pany will also winter some logs. Very
little preparation has as yet been made
for the coming winter’s operations, and
the cut on the Miramichi is not likely to
be much more than half that of last sea-
son.
THE GLASGOW MARKET.
Edmiston & Mitchell's Monthly Timber
Circular of September 3oth, 1904, contains
the following particulars concerning Can-
adian lumber :
WHITE PINE.—The import of the month
amounts to 3,000 loads of waney and 150
loads of square pine. Business is quiet,
and there have been no transactions of
any importance. Stocks are heayy.
Oak.—The import consists of about 350
Joads. The stock of both Quebec and
Southern States wood is still heavy ana
enquiries are few.
E_mM.—There is a good demand for
rock elm, and a fair business is being
done at firm prices. The stock is moder-
ate, and while there is still too much soft
wood on hand, it is being gradually
worked off.
QUEBEC BircH.—The import for Sep-
tember has been trifling and was disposed
of from the ships’ side. There are a few
enquiries in the market from time to time
but no special activity in the demand, and
moderate though the import has been
this year, it has been ample for all require-
ments. In birch planks, the stock is now
considerably ‘ess than it has been for
some time past, and we shall soon see
some improvement in values.
AsH.—Although the stock on hand is
small, there is nolanxiety on buyers’ part
to pick itup, and only occasional trifling
retail sales are being made at prices
which are by no means encouraging, from
a shipper's point of view. For American
ash logs there is not much demand, and
there are several lots in the market unsold.
PINE DEALS.—Business has been rather
better during the month, and sales ‘‘ ex
quay” have been more numerous. The
import continues light and stocks are
moderate, Current values are as under :-—
Broad First Pine Deals—£32 to £34 ;
11-inch, £29 to £31; Ends and Non-
Dimensions, £22 to £24. Second Pine
Deals— 11-inch and up, £17 to £19;
Ends and Non-Dimensions, 413 to £14
10s. Third Pine Deals—i1-inch and up,
#11 to £14 ; Ends and Non-Dimensions,
#9 10s to £10 10s. Red Pine Deals—
g and 11 inch, £10 to £11; Narrows, 47
to £8 10s. First Pine Sidings and
Strips—g to 10 inch, £23 to £24; 11 to
12 inch, £25 to £26; 13 to 14 inch, £27 to
£28.
SPRUCE DEALS, —-g-inch and up, £8 to
£8 tos. ; 7 and 8 inch, £6 15s, to £7 10s.

BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
VANCOUVER, B. C., Oct. roth, 1904.—It
looks as if there will be low prices for lum-
ber all this winter. Since the price war
they have not regaine’, and to-day lum-
ber is selling in some instances as much
as $5 lower than the former figure. The
result of this is seen in the greater amount
of building which is now about to be done.
Towards the winter months building gen-
erally falls off considerably, as the rainy
weather is not favorable. This summer
and fall, however, have been unusually
fine, and last week the office of the build-
ing inspector was besieged with applicants
for permits. Most were for resi
but there is a Jarge number of bu
blocks being erected in the city.
One of the features at the annual
vincial exhibition heldat New Westmi
last week was the display ofahree ‘
down” bouses by. the B. C. Mills
and Trading Company, | They attracted
considerable attention, and were the sub-
ject of much favorable comment. They
can be erected for at least $200 cheaper
than the ordinarily made house, and in
appearance and style equal the best.
They are made in several styles and sizes,
from the two or four roomed house up to
eight, and from $150 to $600. The prices
are delivered at the mills. A comprehen-
sive catalogue is being issued by thé’ ¢om-
pany. The houses are the patent of Mr.
E. C. Mahoney, manager of thé Royal
City Mills, Vancouver, a -brang he
company. Mr. Mahoney was form of
Hamilton.

ago, having been set by a spark froma

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The lumber situation in Ontario calls
for no lengthy review, as in few respects
does it differ from last week. Business is
of an average volume. In Toronto trade
have been for some time and on all’ sides
there is shown a remarkable degree of
confidence and a feeling that the bottom
has been reached in spruce values. Local
and United States trade is improving and
there is more inquiry for British specifica-
tions. For the American market all of the’
larger sizes are in strong demand and
many of the mills will go into the winter
season with a comparatively small amount
of unsold stock. No doubt the intention
of the operators to greatly curtail work in
the woods this winter has had a strength-
ening effect upon the market. Following
the action of the New Brunswick lumber-
men, the Maritime Lumbermen’s Associa- —
tion of Nova Scotia, at a meeting held at
Truro last week, passed a resolution '
agreeing to reduce the cut this winter by -
at least one-half, while some of the mem-°
bers announced their intention to suspend
operations entirely until prices improve.
New Brunswick cedar shingles are
more active but are still selling on the
basis of $3.15 for Extras and $2.65 for
Clears, Boston delivery. Stocks are not
large and some manufacturers are in-
clined to hold for an advance of 5 to 10
cents.

mand. The approach of the time for cold
weather is operating to curtail the con-
sumption of lumber in the country, and,
remembering the cold winter experienced
a year ago, dealers are taking every pre-
caution against having to carry a burden-
some stock through the winter. Ottawa
prices have been shaded in a few instances,
but the strong undertone has not been im-
paired. The stocks at the mills are larger
than might be desired, but there are
no evidences of more than ordinary
anxiety to realize.
Lath prices at the mills are now firmly
established at $2.60 for No. 1 white pine
and $2.10 for No. 2, this being an ad-
vance of 10 cents as compared with the
prices at which lath could be purchased
one month ago. Shingles are unchanged,
although a few of the smaller manufac-
turers are offering B.C. red cedars a
little below $2.60 for XXX. At this price
there is no profit, and itis only a matter
cf time until higher prices will rule.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Lumber market conditions in the East-
ern Provinces are gradually getting into
better shape. Prices are firmer than they
there is less complaint of price-cutting
than was the case a few weeks ago, The
situation in British Columbia has not im-
proved to any extent, and most of the in-
terior mills are still carrying heavy stocks.
Foreign shipments, however, have been
fairly good, as during the first nine months
of this year forty-seven cargoes were
loaded at Vancouver and Chemainus.
Exports to Japan have been larger than
usual), ;
UNITED STATES.
The developments of the past week have
been favorable to a stable market and to
a gradual enhancement of values. From
almost every district comes the report of
a steady trade at firm prices, while in
some instances sharp advances have taken
place. White pine lumber is from $1 to
$2 higher at the mills than during the
summer months, and this is expected to
lead to some advance at least by retailers, |
who up to the present time have heen
slow to profit by the improved conditions.
At Buffalo and Tonawanda cuts and better

before next summer. There is a larger

GREAT BRITAIN.
It is the general opinion that the next
move in the British lumber market will be
upward, but whether the improvement that
has recently taken place will extend fur-
ther at the present time is questionable.
There is, therefore, a feeling against
heavy purchases of lumber Jest the ex-
pense of carrying the stock should be
greater than the recovery in prices. In.
other-words, buyers feel reasonably cer-
tain that prices will not be materially high-
er during the winter months. The past
season has been so unsatisfactory that it
is likely to influence buyers in their action
towards the market next season. The
tone at the present time is better than one
month ago. A number of transactions in
pine are taking place and holders seem
satisfied that they will have no difficulty
in disposing of their stocks at a profit.
Spruce is again reported to be firmer. A
sale was recently made at £6 10s cif.
Liverpool for a cargo with about 60 per
cent. narrows and only a small percentage
of 11 inch. From the shippers’ stocks 3x9
inch third spruce is selling at £8 5s. c.i.f.

per standard.

following particulars of B rbados lumber
conditions : ‘‘ We haveto report the arrival
of the schooner F. B. Wade, with 24,000
feet of merchantable and 67,000 feet of
second quality white pine to our neighbors,
which they placed to some dealers who
were very bare of this at $26.77 for for-
mer and $21.77 for latter, but we do not
think next arrival will do so well. The
brigatine Dixon Rice from Weymouth,
N.S., arrived on the 6th with 176,000 feet
of shipping spruce, 17,000 feet second
quality and 14,000 feet hemlock, for which
we obtained $22, $19 and $19 respectively.
This has supplied present requirements,
and with two cargoes which we advised
in a previous issue as expected in a few
weeks, we expect next arrival will meet
with lower values. The steamer Oruro
brought 1,698 bundles Laying shingles,
principally and second clears,
which had been previously contracted for.
These with recent arrivals by the Success
have supplied dealers, and the Bravo
about due will bring further supplies of
both Long Gaspe and Cedar Laying.”

NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
St. JoHN, N. B., Oct. 19th, 1904.—The
lumber market is slowly but surely recov-
ering from the effects of the depression
which existed in so marked a degree
earlier in the season. While the results of
the improvement have scarcely begun to
be felt in the volume of shipments, the
prospects are that the estimates of the
stocks of manufactured lumber to be win-
tered at this port will now have to be
materially reduced.
An air of optimism is plainly apparent
in all those who have lumber of any kind
to sell, and that this cheerfulness is justi-
fied is indicated by a change in the de-
meanor of buyers in the United Kingdom
and their representatives on this side of
the water ; enquiries are plentiful and in-
stead of the indifferent attitude of a few
months ago, the brokers now show a
readiness to do business. This
especially in regard to the American
markets. Contrary to all expectations,
the trade in the Eastern States in all lines
is very brisk, has improved materially dur-
ing the last month and is still improving.
This being a Presidential election year, a
quietness was confidently expected, but
this expectation, in spite of all precedents,
has proven unfounded.
The probabilities of the market for lath
as mentioned in last letter have been fully
borne out. Lath are now selling in New
York at $3.50 per M. as against $3.00 two
months ago. This would mean $2.35 at

St. John for the American product and
2.10 for the Provincial. The demand
during the last month has been exception-
ally heavy and the receipts were far short
of supplying it.
The market for boards in United States
has not shown any improvement, but is at
least holding its own, and the demand
for spruce scantling is only moderately
brisk.
The demand for spruce deals in the
Eastern States is decidedly strong and
promises to continue so for the balance of
the season. Receipts have been light and
stocks on the other end are reported to be
greatly depleted.
Wide deals are particularly good and
their scarcity causes an anxiety to obtain
them that is having a corresponding effect
on prices,
Stocks of American lumber at this port
and on the St. John River are compar-
atively light and will continue so for the
next six or seven months at least, as sev-
eral American manufacturers are making
English sizes and have no American logs
in stock. Merchantable spruce lumber
can be sold in New York at prices that
will leave the following figures at St. John :
Boards : American spruce, $12 per M. ;
Provincial spruce, $10.
Scantling : American spruce random,
$11.25 to $11.75 per M. ; Provincial spruce
random, $9.25 to $9 75.
Deals: 20 per cent. 6's, 80 per cent.
8's, $14.50 to $17.50 per M.; 25 per cent.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,
So long as the weather continues favor-
able fur outdoor work;there will be activ-
ity in lumber circles. Building opera-
tions are being carried on with exception—
al rapidity, and the stocks of retail dealers
have become somewhat broken. Many of
the latter deferred the buying of lumber
too long and now find that the concessions
which they were offered in the summer
months have been cancelled. It may not
be a rising market, but it is evident that
stocks are more firmly held than at the
beginning of October. Importations ot
American lumber into Western Ontario
are increasing and are serving to check
any advance which manufacturers might
consider was warranted by other condi-
tions. There is not much buying either of
pine or hardwoods for speculation, as the
disposition seems to be to watch the trade
development after the Presidential election
in the United States and act accordingly.
It is predicted in some quarters that pine
lath is destined for higher prices. There
has been liberal buying of that commo-
dity,as also of shingles, which are exhibit-
ing a stronger tone.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
Those who anticipated an improvement
in the demand for spruce lumber in the
Fall have not been disappointed. The
market is stronger than at any time for
months, and it improbable that
prices will be higher at the end of the
year than now.* The manufacturers are
handling the situation in a masterly way ;
is not
very little stock is being thrown ufon the
market at a sacrifice and operations in
the woods are being arranged for ona
reduced scale. These factors are favor-
ably influencing the market. Clapboards are
one of the dullest lines among the Amer-
ican exports. Shingles are unchanged at
$3.15 for Boston delivery, while lath are
if anything a little firmer.
UNITED STATES.
Activity in lumber has subsided during
the week, and the cause may be found in
the approach of the election. More at-
tention is being given to political matters
than to business. The strength of the
market, however, has not been impaired,
but on the other hand white and yellow
pine are even stronger than last week.
Stocks of the latter are broken and the
supply is scarcely equal to the demand.
There is a larger stock, comparatively, of
white pine lumber, but it is mostly in the
hands of wholesalers. Dealers and con-
sumers have been pursuing a hand-to-
mouth policy and are therefore not well
equipped for the winter trade. After the
Presidental election there will doubtless
be liberal buying for stocking up purposes.
Barn grades are very scarce at Buffalo
and Tonawanda, with not much hope of
materially increasing the supply before the
close of navigation. There is a fairly
good movement of common pine. Cargo
spruce is said to be a little easier, with
2x3, 2x4 and 2x6 offered somewhat liberal-
ly. Clapboards are very quiet.
It is now admitted that the input of
hardwood logs during the coming winter
is likely to be large, but it has as yet had
no effect upon lumber prices. Basswood
is selling. more freely than earlier in the
season and birch and soft elm are exper-
iencing a lively demand. There is prac-
tically no change in prices.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The British lumber market is still irre-
gular, and as the importing seasonis near-
ing an end, it is a foregone conclusion that
dullness will continue until the close of the
year. In London, Hull, and East Coast
ports there has been aslight improvement,
but in the west of England generally con-
ditions are no better than one week ago.
There have been heavy losses ingthe build-
ing trade at Bristol, which has accentu-
ated the depression. Business during the
past week has also been disturbed by the
North Sea incident, and at time of writing
the situation between England and Russia
The
disposition on all sides is to pursue a very
conservative policy in respect to lumber
buying. Some of the dealers, however,
who have been running along on very
ight stocks for some time, now find it
is regarded as somewhat critical.

necessary to increase their supplies so as
to be in a position to meet the wants of
their customers during the winter months,
and this has made a show of activity.
Canadian pine and spruce deals are firm
and the business is considered to be on a
satisfactory basis. Some reports state
that there has been a further advance in
spruce, and that several sales have taken
place on the basis of £6 10s, per standard
emitoe
STOCKS AND PRICES.
Loveland & Stone, of Cutler, Ont., will
put in about 60 per cent. of their last win-
ter's stock of logs. At Byng Inlet, Holland
& Graves have camps in operation and
are figuring on putting in at least 35,000,-
ooo feet this winter.
P. G. Keyes, Secretary of the Depart-
ment of the Interior, Ottawa, will receive
tenders upto Wednesday, November g3oth,
for a permit to cut timber on Berth No,
1187, in the Province of Manitoba, con-
taining an area of 64% square miles.
The Saginaw Lumber & Salt Company,
of Sandwich, Ont., recently sold 2,000,000
teet of pine lumber at within 50 cents a
thousand of what was offered last spring.
This company will carry over 6,000,000
feet of logs and put in about 15,000,000
feet.
THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
OTTAWA, October 26, 1904.—Activity is
reported from all sides in the lumber busi-
ness of the Ottawa Valley. The railway
people report an increxzsed movement of
lumber to New York and other points in
the Eastern States. The movement of
~ lumber for export to England also shows
an improvement, but it is not so marked
as in the case of the American trade. The
early approach of the close of navigation
on the Hudson canals is one of the reasons
for the fall rush of lumber. American
dealers have considerable stock standing
in the Ottawa district yards, and they are
desirous ‘of getting this out before the
close of navigation advances the trans-
portation rates.
It is the general impression that the
American market is in better shape for busi-
ness, but local dealers do not hope for much
beyond a general sorting up for the Fall.
Reference to the market page will show
several changes in the quotations from the
Ottawa district, good sidings, strips and
shorts all being easier in price.
From the limits come reports of activity
in the log and square timber manufacture.
Labor is easier to obtain than last year,
and the men are working with a better
will, and it is believed will stick closer to
their jobs than in previous seasons, when,
strange to say, high wages made them
discontented. It is generally thought that
there will be a reduction of fully a third in
the log cut and two-thirds in the cut of
square and waney timber. Wet weather
has interfered to some extent with oper-
ations.
From all reports spruce is firmer than
it has been for several seasons back.

NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
St, JOHN, N.B., October 31st, 1904.—
The lumber trade has shown no marked
change since last writing, and it is un-
likely that there will be any during the
remaining months of 1904 that will affect
the local manufacturers so far as the cut
for November and December is concerned.
The 10th of December will probably see
all save two or three of the mills in St.
John and on the St. John River closed
down for the season, to resume oper-
ations on or about the 1st of March.
Several important logging contracts
have been made during the last fortnight.
Compared with those of last year a re-
duction in the price of from 50 cents to $1
per M is the rule. The quantity will not
equal that of last year’s operations by
at least 25 per cent., and the difference
will probably be as great as 35 per cent.
The wages being paid to woodsmeniis
from $2 to $4 per man lower than was the
case last winter. Owing to the reduc-
tion in demand, men are quite plentiful.
Horse-flesh is scarce and dear, good
horses ranging from $190 to $225 each in
price.
quantities required.
This winter, like last, the contracts for
American logs are very small compared
with what was the rule for many years
prior to 1903, several American manu-
facturers have contracted for Provincial
logs only.
Shipments of short lumber have been
lighter during the latter half of the month
than was the case during the first half.
Stocks of cedar shingles are fairly heavy
7
in the high grades ; six to six and one-
half millions would probably cover the
amount. Orders are booked for im-
mediate delivery that will dispose of at
least one-third and very probably one-
half of these. Within the last fortnight
the shingle trade has shown a consider-
able stimulus in the New England States,
This stimulus has not as yet resulted in
any advance in price, which has been
uniform and practically stationery during
the last two months.
The manifestations of an improvement
inthe English market, as mentioned a
fortnight ago, continue, and the general
impression is that the first of the year
will find prices and demand equal in every
way to the conditions which existed be-
fore the slump which took place early ip
1904.
The shipments of English deals have
been rather light during the last month.

—E
Stocks are slowly multiplying, but it is an
assured fact that sufficient will go for-
ward during November to cover at least
what will be manufactured between now
and the time for closing down. In that
case, taking into consideration the sales
which are certain to be made during the
winter months to go forward by the win-
ter port steamers, the tst of March will in
all probability find the localwharvesentirely
cleaned up so far as English deals are
concerned.
The improvement in conditions in the
English market has taken place so late in
the year that it will probably have little
effect on manufacturers’ prices or on the
volume of shipments during the balance
of 1904, but it is confidently expected that
when the time comes to resume opera-
tions, conditions will be much more fav-
orable.
BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CanaD\ LUMBERMAN.)
VANCOUVER, B.C., October 24th, 1904.
—It does not require any person particu-
larly gifted with the powers of observation
to see that the lumber industry of British -
Columbia, from the eastern boundary of
the Kootenay to the Pacific Coast, is in a
very depressed condition, yet Mr. Robert
Kerr, passenger traffic manager of the
Canadian Pacific Railway, who has just
returned to the east after a trip to the
west, has declared that it is flourishing.
In Winnipeg, Montreal and other papers
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITIO
have appeared interviews with him, and
all state that the lumber industry was
British Columbia» lumber-
men do not know what particular reason
Mr. Kerr may have for thus misrepresent-
ing conditions, for if he kept his eyes shut
altogether while in the
have heard sufficient to make him aware
that the lumber industry is in bad shape.
In fact, some disasters may result. If so,
he will no doubt affect considerable sur-
prise. The industry could very easily be
put in a flourishing condition, for at the
present time about 12,000,000 feet of lum-
ber per month comes in from Washington
state. The argument has been advanced
that if a duty wereput on the price of lum-
ber woulda be increased, but, if so, the
government has the remedy in its own
hands, and may repeal the duty. On the
other hand, the millmen claim the price
will be reduced, for with a greater volume
of business lesser profits would be satis
factory.
Fernie is to have another large mill,
which will be erected by those already
interested in the Eik Lumber and Manu-
facturing Company, which has one large
mill there now. O. A. Robertson, of St.
Paul, F. B. Lynch and O. L. Boynter, of
the same city, and G. F. Ditbinner, of
Minneapolis, are at Fernie this week look-
ing after the commencement of the ccn-
struction, They state the machinery will
be the finest obtainable, and the capacity
will be 100,000 feet in ten hours, with a
cost of at least $75,000. These people
are reported to have exceedingly large
capital behind them, and the enterprises
in which they have engaged in the west
lead to the belief that this is correct.
never better.
west he would
Besides the Elk Lumber and Manufac-
turing Company, which is a large con-
cern, they have established a very modern
mill on Red Deer Lake, in the Saskatche-
wan district, establishing the town of
Barrows,
Local conditions are unchanged. Lum-
ber is still cheaper than usual, remaining
almost at the figure to which it was
brought by the rate war, and it is ex-
pected that it will be low all winter.
Many who had building operations in
prospect are taking advantage of the op-
portunity, which means considerable in
the construction of a dwelling.
Lumbermen and mill owners at Edmon-
ton and Strathcona have arranged a new
scale of prices which is much below that
which hag hitherto prevailed.
The Canadian Timber & Sawmills,
Limited, whose property at Trout
Lake has been in possession of the sheriff,
has been reorganized, with three direc-
tors in Revelstoke and two in London.
W. Cowan, of Revelstoke, who is heavily
interested, having taken shares in pay-
ment for timber, is the new manager.
G. B. Campbell, of Glencoe, Ont., J.
McGregor, Enderby, B.C., P. D. McKel-
lar and H. Healey, ot Bellingham, Wash.,
are cruising about the headwaters of the
Tulameen river, in the Similkameen dis-
trict, looking for timber suitable for ties.
TIMBER SALE.
The State of Minnesota had a timber
sale in Si. Paul October21. The sale
was successful as far as it went, but only
28 tracts out of 114 offered for sale were
taken. On the other tracts the lumber-
men declared that the appraised price was
too high and declined to bid. The timber
sold was nearly all good pine. In all
about 40,000,000 feet were sold, at prices

FIRES.
Ford & Greer’s saw mill at Stoneleigh,
Ont., has been burned, and it is under-
stood that there was no insurance.
The planing mill of E. H. Mann at
Peterboro, Ont., was burned a few days
ago. The loss is about $7,000 and the in-
surance $4,500.
The saw mill of the Laurie Lumber
Company at Marysville, B.C., was de-
stroyed by fire on October 22. A small
quantity of lumber was also burned. The
loss is estimated at $5,000.
CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
Fine weather has permitted the continu-
ation of out-door work, a condition which
has been reflected in the lumber business.
There is a liberal demand for white pine
and hardwoods for building purposes, with
every indication that this will continue
until checked by winter weather. Ex-
port boards are a little easier on account
of the slackness in fhe British demand,and
prices generally are somewhat irregular
owing to the usual desire at this season of
the year to reduce stocks. The lower
grades of pine are exhibiting the most
firmness, 10 and 12 inch mill culls being
worth from $12.50 to $13.50 at the mill.
One or two sizes of hemlock are also_be-
ing offred at slight concessions. The
feeling is quite general, however, that
the present range of prices will be main-
tained during the winter months. It is
reported that next season’s production of
one of the large Ottawa Valley mills has
been purchased by a Quebec shipper at
the same price as was paid last year. If
this report should be confirmed it would
be regarded as a very favorable indica-
tion.
As with lumber, lath prices are irregu-
lar. A considerable quantity of hemlock
and spruce lath is being offered at
duced prices, whereas standard 4-foo
pine lath is even firmer than last week,
some of the mills now asking $2.70 for

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,

There is a noticvable falling off in the
demand for Jumber for building purposes,
as much of the woik is nearing comple-
tion and the seasor is now too late to
commence new buildings. Buying by re-
tailers is also light, the disposition being
to reduce stocks before the winter sets in.
The manufacturing situation has not im-
proved, although the mills are not cutting
prices as severely as a few weeks ago,
and it is said that some are holding their
lumber rather than sell it at the prevailing
]ow prices.
UNITED STATES.
The current lumber demand is remark-
ably good for an election week. Retail
dealers and consumers are stocking up
for the winter trade with some _iberality,
probably on the conviction that there will
be a steady enhancement in values. At
any rate, business is good and there are
no complaints. Accounts are being well
met, which is an indication of the healthy
conditions prevailing in the lumber trade.
The northern pine movement is quite as
large as last week, although the scarcity
of cars is retarding business to some ex-
tent. Chicago wholesale dealers are re-
ported to have placed several large con-
tracts for stock for next season’s trade at
an advance over the present list. Some
items of pine are becoming scarce, partic-
ularly in the common grades su h as
No. 4and 5 boards. Buffalo and Tona
wanda report an increased demand for
high grade white pine, which has been
comparatively dull for some months past.
Box and coarse lumber is wanted as much
as ever, some geod sized orders having
recently been placed by box manufac-
The condition of the’ hardwood
market is very satisfactory. Prices are
well maintained and orders are more
numerous. Elm has advanced at the mills
more than any other of the low priced
hardwoods. Plain oak, both red and
white, is still commanding a great deal of
attention, while quartered oak shows in-
dications of sharing in the improvement.
There is a god call for birch, but noth-
ing very favorable can be said of bass-
wood, of which there are considerable
stocks in first hands. The high price of
basswood has caused consumers to adopt
substitutes wherever possible.
turers,
The shingle market is stronger. Red
cedar Perfections have been advanced ten
cents at Buffilo and are now quoted at
$3 60. Lath are scarce and selling treely
at xvod prices.
GREAT BRITAIN,
The late auction sales of umber in Lon-
don and Liverp. ol have shown a disiinctly
better tone, and prices in some instances
have hardeied. Considerable attention
is now being given to th» stock on hand
at the close of the shipping season, and it
appears that 1 is lik ly to be less than
was anticipated earl erin the year. It it
should be found to be no more than suffic-
ient to meet the requirements of the win.
ter and early spring trade, some heavy
buying by those who have kept out of the
market may result. In London there is a
greater tendency to be optimistic and
consequently business is more actve. Sales
at Liverpool are also more numerous. In
pine and spruce the tone is still good.
Regular stocks demand fair prices and
there isa feeling that the entire supply
will be required. Third quality pine deals
are by no means plentiful.
The question of the opening prices for
next season is being discussed, and it
would appear that values are likely to be
somewhat higher than those now ruling.
Shippers are showing a determination to
raise prices to a basis which will give a
fair margin of profit,

STOCKS AND PRICES.
The Taplin, Anderson Company, Limit-
ed, Novar, Ont., have sold their past
season's cut of hemlock to M. S. M. Long,
of Hamilton. The stock comprises about
800,000 feet.
Receipts of lumber at Bay City, Mich.,
during the month of October were 17,123,-
714 feet, and at Saginaw 3,761,524 feet.
The total receipts of lumber at Bay City
from the opening of navigation to Novem-
ber 1st were approximately 87,000,000
feet.
The prices of slack cooperage stock are
none too firm, with heading lower. Quota-
tions at Buffalo are : First-class elm flour
barrel staves, $10.25 to $10.75; 2nd class,
$7.50 to $8; ‘1st class heading, 7 to 7%
cents ; 2nd class, 5 to 5% cents ; 6-foot
coiled hoops, $9.50 to $10,
Since the opening of navigation a total
of 335,211,849 feet of lumber has arrived
at the Tonawandas by vessel, as against
350,076,725 feet for the corresponding
period last year. While the receipts dur-
ing the current month may be large, it isa
foregone conclusion that this season will
not equal last year in respect to the
amount of stock received by vessel. Ship-
ments of lumber trom the Tonawandas
over the Erie canal last month were 24,-
554,951 feet, the largest for any month of
the season.
Logging operations throughout North-
ern Minnesota are seriously menaced by a
scarcity of labor. The logging this winter
will be conducted over an extensive area
and there will be’ many excepticnally large
camps. The operations on the Indian re-
servations will be greater this season than
they were a year ago. The companies
who own timber along the northern bound-
ary line are reported to be contemplating
an extensive cut and they are already
sending out orders to the employment
agencies for men. Along with this there
is a desire among the logging companies
to get their operations under way at an
early day and they are therefore pressing
in their demands for men. Atno point
in northern Minnesota are there very
many men desirous of going to work
and the condition is working a serious
interruption with logging plans. The

WHITE PINE STOCKS AT THE MILLS.
Mr. F. H. Ruger, of the Rogers-Ruger
Company, Superior, Wis., gives the
AMERICAN LUMBERMAN his views of the
white pine stocks at the head of the lakes,
which we reproduce below:
“At the end of the sawing season this
year lumbermen at the head of the lgkes
find themselves with very light stocks.
No 5 boards have all been sold to within
thirty days of the saw and the green lum-
ber is too heavy to ship out on any rate of
freight, as when green No. 5 boards weigh
in the neighborhood of 5,000 pounds to
the thousand feet. Stocks of No, 4 and
No. 3 boards are practically all sold and
the same is true of No. 1 boards. No. 2
stock is about the only item in which there
is a surplus. As stated, thisis the condi-
tion at the end of the sawing season with
only a few of the mills to run during the
winter. The outlook for stocks next
spring is not encouraging and there can-
not but be a scarcity of every grade of
white pine boards. Supplies of uppers and
siding grades are as low as they ever
were in my experience, though there isa
better supply of the lower grades of siding
material than in the better qualities. Sup-
plies of shop lumber also are light. There
is a fairly good stock of the lower grades
of selects, also No. 2 common.
“It has been so wet in the woods that
comparatively little has been done so far,
as the heavy rains of late have made it
impossible to start up the camps. It is
difficult to even approximate the quantity
of logs that will be put in this winter, but

possible to bring the total production of
next year up to a point equal to that of
1904.”

THE HARDWOOD DEMAND.
Reviewing the hardwood lumber situa-
tion the, Mississippi Valley Lumberman
says : During last year the demand for
hardwood lumber was better than it has
been during the larger part of the current
year, and the manufacturers and jobbers
were able to put prices at a rather high
figure. this year they have
lowered the lists some, and the prices
more. Last year basswood was strong,
but the competition with poplar and cot-
tonwood from the south has weakened it
During
to some extent, so that it is not now bring-
ing the high figures it commanded in
1903. In Wisconsin and Minnesota the
oaks are staples and have usually com-
manded prices that made them the best
property of all the hardwoods. That is
true to-day. Northern maple has been
sacrificed unnecessarily. It has been sold

at prices that did not represent its intrinsic
value nor its comparative value, and
which were not warranted by the condi-
tions of supply and demand. Elm is
scarce and the market is good from the
seller's point of view. Birch is about the
most plentiful of the northern hardwoods,
but the demand has been large. For in-
terior finish and as a veneer it has attained
a place that will not be lost to it for some
time, if indeed it is ever lost.
The principal, and perhaps the only,
reason why hardwood lumber on the
whole has not been as strong this year,
aside from the condition that always pre-
vails—that of the production being in the
hands of small mill and timber owners—
is the same as that which has affected all
lines of business during the year. It is the
natural conservatism that comes in the
presidential year. Fortunately, the elec-
tion is less than a week away, and with
every prospect that there will not be
enough of a change in the general atti-
tude of the government toward business
enterprise, even though there might be a
change of party, to affect it seriously.
The prospect for the new year presents a
most hopeful outlook, and hardwood
should share it with other kinds of lumber
and all lines of business. The market has
been weaker during the year, but it has
not approached anything like demoraliza-
tion.

COOPERAGE STOCK SITUATION.
Messrs. Sutherland, Innes & Company,
of Chatham, Ont., report upon cooperage
stock conditions as follows :
There has been quite a lull in the de-
mand for cooperage stock for the last
month, especially in the apple-barrel
trade, the rush which was expected not
having materialized, although ‘trade has
opened up ‘this month very much better,
and during the last few days orders have
been coming in freely for apple-barrel
material.
The flour-barrel trade is also, opening
up, and millers are beginning to store up
their stock for use during the winter
months, This is going to make quite a
rush in flour-barrel stock for some little
time to come. The general demand for
cooperage stock throughout the country,
however, has been comparatively light,
although no lighter than is usual during
the month of September, and ait improve-
ment has already set in in the general de-
mand, which is more than likely to be
maintained for the balance of the year.
No. 1 elm staves are comparatively
scarce, but there are quitea few No.\1
mixed wood staves coming up from the
South, and also manufactured in the
North, which are being used considerably
by the coopers, on account of the cheap-
ness in comparison with elm staves,
Mill-run staves, especially apple-barrel
stock, appear to be quite plentiful, and
prices are such that coopers are able to
sell their barrels freely. The buyers of
apples held off for a considerable time in
purchasing their barrels, but are now
getting in with a rush, and this and next
month should be a very busy time for the
apple-barrel coopers.
The beet-sugar season has also opened
up, and there is a good demand for sugar-
barrel stock from the sugar-beet factories.
The lime and cement trades have been
comparatively quiet, but even these trades
are looking up and using more barrels
during the.last two weeks than they have
for some time. On the whole, the out-
look for a good demand for stock is very
bright, and, from present appearances,
there is going to be enough stock to meet
the demand. The only shortage which is
likely to occur will be in No. 1 elm staves.
Hoops and heading are fairly plentiful,
and can be obtained at reasonable prices.
The tight-barrel stock situation is some-
The demand is heavy
White prices
what different.
andthe supply is limited.
November 9, 1904
sagged off somewhat during the month of
September, they are now stiffening up
again, and tight-barrel stock is not only
in good demand, but prices are advancing.
It looks at present as if there is going to
be a general clean-zp of tight-barrel stock
by the end of the season.
BUSINESS NOTES.
DeLaplante & McBurney have opened
an office in the Manning Arcade, Toronto.
A. E. Adam, general store and lumber,
D'Israeli, Que., is offering to compromise
at 60 cents on the dollar.
The Canada Lumber Manufacturing
Company, of North Tonawanda, N. Y.,
are reported to be in financial difficulties,
DeLaplante & McBurney having issued a
writ of attachment against them.
The Cascade Lumber Company, of
Vancouver, B. C., is apparently tempor-
arily embarrassed, their mill premises and
property on False Creek having been
placed under seizure at the orders of R.
J. Skinner, Provincial Timber Inspector.
It is stated that the company is indebted
to the Department of Lands and Works
for timber royalties. The company was
organized less than three years ago, the
present partners being Messrs. Tait and
McTavish.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
City trade in lumber continues to be
quitebrisk, as there is no abating in build-
ing operations. Were it not for the near
approach of the winter season retail deal-
ers would be heavy buyers of lumber, as in
most instances their stocks are badly
broken, but they are taking every pre-
caution against carrying a large supply
through what may prove to be a severe
winter. There is, therefore, quick buying
of small lots to meet immediate require-
ments, which gives the market a lively
appearance. The country demand for
pine is a little dull, but there is a very sat-
istactory trade in hardwoods, which are
going into the hands of the furniture and
implement factories and other consumers.
Nevertheless, there is no dearth of stock,
nor is the demand more than sufficient to
sustain prices. The seller meets the
argument that the prices of hardwoods
are higher in Ontario than in’ Michigan
and Wisconsin, from which districts some
maple and birch have recently been im-
ported into the western part of the pro-
vince. Birch is in good demand, but the
supply is quite plentiful.
The strength of pine lath has been
maintained. Two or three dealers have
lately been large buyers, and if we can
judge from present indications, higher
prices are likely to rule in the near future.
The range of No.1 in Toronto is from
$3.15 to $3.25.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The position of the manufacturer of
spruce lumber is doubtless improving.
The fall demand has made inroads upon
the supply, and the quantity to be carried
through the winter is not likely to be ex-
ceptionally large. But it is in respect to
next season’s operations that the outlook
is the most favorable. Logging operations
were commenced much later than usual
and the cut of logs will be considerably
curtailed. The total cut on the St. John
river this year is not likely to be over
70,000,000 feet, which is little more than
half that of last season. Owing to lower
wages the cost of logs will not be exces-
sive, and if the price of lumber should ad-
vance, as now seems probable, the man-
ufacturers should realize a fair profit on
next year’s output. Buyers are willing to
close contracts at current prices for next
season’s production.
New Brunswick cedar shingles have
stiffened slightly, Extras are now selling
at $3.20 on Boston rate of freight, Clears
at $2.80, and Second Clears at $2.25.
Clears are showing the most strength.
UNITED STATES.
A tew days always elapse after a Presi-
dential election before busiuess settles
down, and it is yet too early to know defi-
nitely the effects upon the industriai enter-
prises of the country of the return of the
Republican administration. It may be
said, however, that some revival in trade
has already taken place. The near ap-
proach of winter is likely to confine the
improvement in conditions to narrow lim-
its, but it is almost certain that the foun-
dation will be laid for a healthy revival
next spring. The lumber movement dur-
ing the past week has been quite satistac-
tory, the railroad demand being a more
important factor than for many months
past. Yellow pine is very strong, the de-
mand being equal to the supply. The
northern pine trade is proceeding along
the lines which we have previously out-
lined ; the lower grades are active, while
uppers are little more than holding their
own. There is some weakness in a few
of the middle grades, which have not re-
ceived a great deal of attention of late.
The strength of the lower grades has been
reflected in Norway, which is exhibiting a
stronger tone. The closing down of some
of the eastern mills has had a good effect
upon spruce, and at Boston prices.on a
number of items have been advanced.
For spruce boards, 6 inch and up wide, to
feet and up long, $17 is being obtained.
The demand for oak, birch, and maple
lumber is on the increase, while basswood
is still a slow seller. Maple flooring is re-
garded with favor at present prices anda
further advance would seem to be in
order.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The reports of the British lumber mar-
ket received this week are almost univers-
ally favorable. The feeling is quite
general that prices have touched bottom
and that a gradual improvement is likely
to take place during the winter months.
The stocks in many instances are consid-
erably lighter than one year ago, while it
is not anticipated that much lumber will
be sent over on consignment by the
regular winter liners. A rather sharp ad-
vance in the price of Swedish lumber is
reported. The demand for pine and
spruce is not particularly active, but prices
are holding their own and some sizes are
finding a market at an advance. Whereas
a few weeks ago £6 10s per standard ¢., i.
f. London and Liverpool for an ordinary
St.John specification was almost unattain-
able, sellers are now talking £6 15s as the
price which will be obtained before the
close of this month. Quebec 3x9 third
spruce brought 49 at a recent auction
sule. Of the hardwoods rock elm is par-
—o-
ock is light and
it has been found comparatively easy to
ticularly strong. The
advance prices, which now stand at 3s 6d
to 38 7d per cubic foot. Birch planks
have also stiffened on account of dimin-
_ ished stocks.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
McLachlin Bros., of Arnprior, recently
received the first boom of logs from their
new Petewawa limits,
At Buffalo No. 1 pine lath is held at
$275 and No. 2 at $3.25. Red cedar
shing'es are quoted at $3.90 for Perfec-
tions, $3.60 for. Eurekas, $3.25 for Extra
Clears, and $2.85 for Stars.
About ha'f a million logs will remain
unsawn at Three Rivers, Oue., when the
mills close down shortly. This is due to
the lateness of the drive this season and
to the unsatisfactory arrangement of the
Upper St. Maurice booms.

BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
{Correspondence of the CANADA ILUMBERMAN.)
“VANCOUVER, B.C., November — 7th,
.1904.—Lumbermen in British Columbia
‘have gained a point by the decision of the
Railway Commission in regard to the rate
on cedar. There is a forty cent rate on
fir, hemlock and spruce to points as far
east: as the eastern boundary of Manitoba,
The con-
tention of the company was that cedar is
lighter, but the commission does not, evi-
dently, consider this argument good, for
it has ordered that the rates shall be iden-
but it was fifty cents for cedar.
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
tical. It should be the means of stimulat-
ing trade to the Northwest.
Trade generally does not show any feat-
ures, and there has been nothing happen-
ing locally of particular interest in a com-
mercial way. The cut price of lumber
forced a month or so ago by the opposi-
tion of dealers has remained, and it is
likely that lumber will be much cheaper all
winter than it has been during the sum-
mer. Generally 10 per cent. is allowed
off the list price, but this is being increased
to 25 per cent.
The export trade is quiet. Were it bet-
ter the E. K. Wood Company, of San
Francisco, which has large timber limits
on Vancouver island, and which is waiting
its chance to build, would erect mills, F,
J. Wood, the vice-president, was over last
week from Bellingham, and stated that
the company will build when conditions
warrant. The British ship Halewood
cleared with 1,737,472 feet of lumber last
week for Callao, having loaded at the
Hastings mill. The American schooner
Balboa, 651 tons, is now loading for Chili,
and the German barque Pallas, 1,351 tons,
for Callao.
To further show how people with money
to invest view the situation, the directors
of the Ontario-Slocan Company, who were
out here from Orillia, Ont., have decided
that the present is an inopportune time to
enlarge their facilities, and have postponed
the improvement indefinitely. E. F. Fer-
ris, of Traverse City, says he represents
people of Michigan who will spend half a
million dollars in an enterprise at Kam-
loops if the Government will reserve the
limited Canadian market for. Canadian
timber. He has located 10,000 acres of
limits in the valley of the North Thompson
river, which will be developed when con-
ditions improve. ‘
Depression was the cause of the sheriff
taking charge of the property of the
Canadian Timber and Sawmills, Limited,
Trout Lake, and last week the same
official seized the assets of the Cascades
Lumber Compapy, of this city. They were
put up at auction on Saturday last, but
the amount of the indebtedness could not
be realized, so the sale was left over fora
week. Two other small companies are also
reported to be in financial difficulties.
S. C. Smith, of Vernon, finds business
good for his sash and door factory. He
has made extensions and improvements of
late, and for a week or so has been work-
ing the plant night and day to fill orders
for the Territories.
Mills in the eastern portion of the pro-
vince are getting along fairly well. Some
have shut down for the season, There is
considerable home demand for lumber,
and the surplus is being shipped to the
Northwest. It was feared in the begin-
ning of the year when so many mills were
starting up that there would be an over-
production, but this was prevented by the
shutting down of large mills at the coast.
Messrs. Bryden & Johnstone, whose mill
at Salmon Arm, near Kamloops, was
burned some time ago, will rebuild. The
new plant will have a daily capacity of
between 15,000 and 20,000 feet.

THE GLASGOW MARKET.
Edmiston & Mitchell's monthly timber
circular furnishes the following particulars
of the Glasgow market :
The tendency of the market during the
past month has been on the whole rather
more favorable than for some time, and
while there has been no inflation of prices,
still they may be said to have been fairly
well maintained. At the same time it has
by no means been an active market, and
it only admits of a favorable comparison
with the extremely dull times which have
existed recently. The imports from Can-
ada have been for some time very moder-
ate, and this has had a steadying effect on
values, so that there seems every hope of
the common anticipation as to a slump in
prices towards the end of thé year being
on this occasion falsified.
The Clyde shipbuilding returns for Oc-
tober show that 27 vessels, aggregating
43,495 tons, were launched, compared
with 23 vessels of 45,819 in the corres-
ponding month last year. A fair number
of orders have been placed recently, and
the work on hand is considerably more
than at this period last year, so that pros-
pects for the future are looking vita
than they were.
Housebuilding is dull and likely to con-
tinue so for some time, as it has been over-
done of late, with the inevitable result ofa
great many unlet houses in the city and
neighborhood.
WHITE PINE.—The import consists of
about 350 loads waney pine. There have
been a few small sales of waney and
square pine, but business continues quiet.
Prices are firm, but stocks are heavy.
November 16, 1904
SSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsS939@$a93030309MDamS SS
Oak.—There has been no import during
the month and no sales of any importance.
Stocks are heavy and more than sufficient
for prospective requirements.
ELM.—The demand for good rock con-
tinues, and the stock is very rapidly taken
up. Prices are firm. Stock of soft wood
is still large and moving off slowly.
QUEBEC BircH.—There was no import
during October, and the last transaction
reported is a shipment of 16 inch, which
came in at the end of September, and was
disposed of at 1s 10d. There are several
enquiries in the market, and a shipment of
nice logs would meet with a ready sale.
N. B. BincH.—There was an import of
210 logs from St. John this month, aver-
aging 13% inches, which is reported to
have been sold at 16d ‘tex quay.” Of
planks the stock is now considerably re-
duced and there is rather more enquiry.
AsH.—The demand is reduced to the
very smallest dimensions nowadays, and
although the stock on hand is small, there
is no anxiety on buyers’ part to secure it.

The hoop and stave mill of W.M. Drader
at Chatham, Ont., was completely de-
stroyed by fire on November 10, the loss
being about $20,000.
In the ‘‘Wanted and For Sale Depart-
ment” of this issue, The Locators, of
Winnipeg, Man., offer for sale some
splendid lamber properties in the west.

tained was $1,600, which the sheriff re-
fused to accept, and the mill will again be
offered for sale this week.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
It is not possible to discern any material
change in the lumber situation. Conditions
goveraing the market are favorable, the
fine weather being responsible for a liberal
demand for building material. The num-
ber of permits obtained in Toronto during
the past week shows that building oper-
ations are likely to continue active well
into the winter months, the demand for
residential and factory accommodation
being responsible for unusual energy to-
wards the completion of buildings under
construction. The demand for low grade
boards is slightly less urgent than of late
but prices remain firm. Hardwoods are
a little quieter and the trade is gradually
settling down to a winter. level.
Many of the large pine mills are closed
for the season, but a few will continue iu
operation until the end of the month or
later. The mill man would be better sat-
isfied if the stocks were lighter, but he
feels that there is no necessity to reduce
prices, for the lumber is likely to be worth
more money next year. Indications favor
a gradual hardening of prices during the
winter months.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
‘The pine timber market is slightly
stronger, the reduced operations of the
coming winter having had a stimulating
effect upon prices. Square pine ranges
from 35 to 45 cents per cubic foot, and
Ottawa waney, 18 to 20 inch average, 60
to 70 cents. ~No red pine timber of any
account is being made this season and
prices are therefore nominal. Sellers and
buyers for the British market have not yet
closed any transactions, but a slight ad-
vance upon last year's figures seems to be
expected. The position of spruce lumber
continues to steadily improve as the result
ot lighter logging operations and more
favorable reports from the British market.
It is now reasonably certain that not more
than 10,000,000 feet of deals will be car-
ried over at. St. John; which is a much
smaller quantity than was anticipated
earlier in the season. Extra cedar shingles
are still being sold at $3.20 for Boston
delivery. }
MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.
Building operations in Winnipeg are
much less active and the demand for lum-
ber is showing a corresponding decrease.
Finishing material is in. good enquiry, as
many of the buildings have only reached
the point where this class of lumber is re-
quired. Country orders are falling off,
and although many of the retail dealers
are carrying light stocks, they are not
buying above immediate requirements.
For the first time there appears to be a
disposition to prevent the further cutting
of lumber prices on the Coast. It is
rumored that a new price list for both
lumber and shingles will be adopted in the
near future, and that some of the largest
manufacturers are hopeful of devising a
plan which will improve the situation.
The improvement in the log market has
no doubt influenced sentiment in favor of
higher prices for lumber and shingles.
The stock of logs is said to be reduced to
10,000,000 feet, whereas prices have ad-
vanced fully $2 and now range from $5 to
$7 per thousand feet.
UNITED STATES.
The position of the lumber market of
the United States is distinctly one of
sirength. There is very little evidence
that buyers are curtailing purchases, for
many of the dealers-report a more active
movement than for many weeks past.
Southern pine is receiving the heaviest
call, for the reason that the prices had
been lowered to a point which encouraged
consumption, whereas white pine prices
were held comparatively firm on account
of the limited production. ° We are told
that stocks in the Lake Superior district
are lower than for years, one estimate
placing the amount of unsold white pine
lumber at 20,000,000 feet. There is more
uniformity in the demand for white pine
than has been the case at any previous
time this fall. The lower grades have
been active all season, but now uppers and
selects, and even the middle grades, are
moving with some freedom. Prices at
manufacturing points have stiffened, but
dealers have not followed the advance,
probably owing tothe fact that they are
carrying comparatively larger stocks than
are the manufacturers. The supply at
Buffalo and Toriawanda is about the same
as one year ago. Our Buffalo list this
week’ shows a slight advance in a few
grades, 2 inch dressing being marked up
to $38, 1 x 12 inch box to $21, and mill culls
to $17.
Hardwoods have fallen back a little and
business is only moderately active. Plain
oak in 1% inch is the best seller, followed
by birch, maple and elm. Hemlock is
holding its own, prices in the Saginaw
Valley being $12.50 to $14.
The advancing tendency in lath is still
in evidence. Buffalo and Tonawanda
dealers report a low stock anda good
donsumption, with prospects of higher
prices in the near future. Hemlock lath
has been advanced 25 cents in Wisconsin.

small it would greatly assist towards the
restoration of prices toa more satisfactory
The imports into London this year
have been upwards of 150,000,000 feet
less than last year, and consequently the
stock on hand is not excessive. Many
importers are now holding their pine lum-
ber for higher prices, as they fear that
the shippers on this side may considerably
advance their selling prices before next
season's production is marketed. There
is a distinctly better feeling in the spruce
market, 47 per standard c. i. f. Liverpool
being the price for which shippers are now
holding. It appears, therefore, that in-
stead of prices declining towards the close
of the year, there is likely tobe a steady
appreciation in pine and spruce values.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
Pork barrel staves are quoted in Chi-
cago at $22 to $23, and tierce staves at
$26 to $27.
About half the usual number of men are
now in the woods along the Miramichi
river, in New Brunswick, and it is certain
that the cut of logs will be greatly cur-
tailed.
The car scarcity having been relieved,
prices of Washington red cedar shingles
at Chicago and Minneapolis are easier.
The current quotation on Clears is $2.60,
and on Stars $2.20.
The Northern Land & Lumber Com-
pany, of Port Arthur Ont., have entered
into a contract with the Canadian Nor-
thern Railway to supply 200,000 ties dur-
ing the coming winter.
The Gull River Lumber Company, of
Coboconk, Ont., have on hand 1,000,000
feet of pine and hemlock lumber and 7,000
cords of wood. As their entire stock of
logs was not cut out this year, they will
be in a position to start their mill early
next spring.
The Scott Lumber Company, of Fred-
ericton, N. B., have purchased from F. B.
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
Edgecombe and George H. Eaton the
McConnell logs which were hung up last
spring. There are about 4,000,000 feet,
mostly located on the Wild Cat and Little
Black and Smoky rivers, in Quebec. The
company have also leased from Mr,
Eaton a large tract of land in Quebec,and
will operate it during the comirg winter.
A dispatch from Vancouver, B.C., dated
November 14th, says: William Shannon
sold to-day to three millionaire lumber
men of Michigan six hundred million feet
of standing timber on Toba river, B.C.
The timber is ideally situated, being pene-
trated in several places by waterways, one
channel leading to its centre. The pur-
chasers, who are well known in the lumber
world,asked to have their names withheld
from publication at present. They have
heavy cOdntracts in connection with the
Panama canal construction. They will
erect a mill on Toba river, cut the lumber
there and ship direct to the isthmus.
Operations on the construction of the mill
will be commenced on the first of the
year. Cash was paid for the timber,
which the purchasers say will log ab-
solutely clean.
Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Company,
of Barbados, report as follows: ‘‘ The
schooners Coronia and Pilgrim have ar-
rived, with 193,000 feet of white pine,
which we placed at $26 for merchantable
and $20 for second quality. The schooner
Clarence Shafner brought 220,000 feet of
white pine, which had been contracted for
some timeago. Following these, the Ida
M. Shafner brought 103,000 feet of white
pine and 13,000 feet of spruce to our
neighbors, for which they could obtain
only $25 for merchantable and $19 for
second quality white pine, and $16.60 for
spruce, which was all second quality.
The Mercedes has arrived to ourselves
with 150,000 feet of spruce and hemlock.
For the spruce we obtained $21.87 for
shippers and $18.57 for second quality,
and for the hemlock, $18.39; while for a
small lot of spruce plank by this vessel
we secured $20.37 as customary. Oour
market is now well supplied for the pres-
ent with white pine, and with two cargoes
of spruce contracted for and on their way,
the same can be said for this kind of lum-
ber as well, and we expect lower yalues
for next arrivals. The Bravo arrived on
28th ultimo with 467,000 Laying Cedar
shingles and 285,000 Long to ourselves,
the balance of her cargo comsisting of
Long Cedar to our neighbors. Of the Lay-
ing Cedar we placed 140,000 Clear Whites
at $2.91, and the extra No. 1 and Nov 1 at
a round price of $2; but in view of two
large lots which are coming down, we had
some difficulty in selling at this price.
For the Long description we obtained
$5.17, while we understand our neighbors
had to accept $5.05 to $5.10 for their var-
ious lots. There does not appear to be
much demand for shingles at the moment
and we expect to see lower prices, espec-
ially for Laying, of which, as. previously
mentioned, large shipments are reported
to be on the way.”

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAR.)
Orrawa, November 21st, 1904. — The
outlook as viewed by Ottawa lumbermen
is improving. For the past couple of
years a levelling has been going on in the
United States, and now that field is in
better shape than it has been for some
time for the reception of Canadian lumber.
The settlement of the Presidential ques-
tion has also cleared the air. The ad-
vance in iron, looked on hereabouts as the
barometer, is a third sign which is taken
as indicating an improvement in the lum-
ber market.
The Ottawa operators do not look for
any boom, but they confidentially expect
that there will be a marked improvement
in the market.
As far as the English market is con-
cerned, there has been little or no change.
November is the month when the con-
tracts for deals, etc., are usually made,
but there has been little doing in this di-
rection this month. It is stated that one
small cut sold at prices below those paid
a year ago. .
Discussing the situation, an exporter
said the other day that the Canadian
white pine has to meet the Baltic red pine
in the English market now. Formerly
the English manufacturer gave the Cana-
dian lumber the preference, but now the
lower priced Baltic product has the call.
The market and yards are overcrowded
with Canadian stock, and it is highly im-

probable that any contracts for future
cutting will be made for a month or two
yet.
The fine open weather of the present
Fall has been conducive to active opera-
tions on the timber limits, but in the Otta-
wa district there will be a shortage of at
least thirty per cent. in the log cut. In
the Temiskaming district Klock & Com-
pany will not take out any logs or square
timber whatever, and other firms will cur-
tail their operations. The Saginaw Lum-
ber and Salt Company that operated
north of Chelmsford, in the Georgian Bay
district, have also decided to take an
‘*off’’ year, and have sold their equip-
ment.
The James MacLaren Company, of
Buckingham, have closed their mills down
for the season. The cut was not as large
as in former seasons, for the reason that
the mills were two months later than usual
in starting owing to the high water.
Reference to the price list shows but few
changes this week. Cedar shingles are
easier, but other lines remain unchanged.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CANADA UMBERMAN,)
St. Joun, N. B., Nov. 16th,
The lumber trade has shown no marked
1904.—
change in this district during the last two
weeks, The English market is, of course,
attracting most attention from the local
manufacturers and developments in that
direction are being eagerly awaited.
Taken on the whole, the year 1904 has
been unsatisfactory so far asthe trade in
the United Kingdom is concerned ; in fact,
it has shown less activity by far than has
been the case for many years past. The
effects of this lack of stimulus have been
various and far-reaching. Perhaps the
most important from the Canadian point
of view has been the curtailment of log-
ging operations, which has been mention-
ed in previous letters, and the cutting of
logging contract prices.
The manufacturers show much caution
and apparently do not intend to tie them-
selves up in any way until they are fairly
sure as to what conditions will rule the
trade next year, but in spite of this fact
on all sides the impression seems to be
gaining strength that the end of the next
three months will find vastly improved
conditions in the English markets.
According to information received they
base this conclusion on’ the following
facts :
(1) The conditions of the English market
during the last ten months have been un-
natural ; the prices received have not been
in keeping with the cost of the raw ma-
terial and of the manufacturing.
(2) The demand has been a long way
below the average and it is reasonable
enough to suppose that this condition can-
not last much longer,
(3) Shipments with which the market
was being flooded at the time of the slump
have been greatly curtailed in volume and
there is not sufficient lumber °in sight at
present or available during the next few
months to cause any important excess of
supply.
(4) The output of Eastern Canada for
next season will probably be smaller than
for many years past and it is almost sure
that the causes which led to this curtail-
ment will have an exactly similar effect
in all lumbering countries and districts
which depend largely or altogether upon
the markets of the United Kingdom.
There has been no general change in
prices of spruce in the English market as
far as is known at present writing, but it
is an assured fact that the situation looks
decidedly better from the standpoint of
those who wish to sell and that a recovery
in prices is about due.
A specification of merchantable spruce
deals containing say 45 per cent. 7's and
3's, 45 per cent. 9's, and 10 per cent. 11's
and wides, would be worth from $12 to
$12.25 per Ms, ft., f.0.b. steamer at New
Burnswick port, 2/3 price fourths and ends.
Freight rates to the West Coast are of-
fered freely at 35s. per standard.
Stocks of English deals are not nearly
so heavy as it was thought earlier in the
The manufac-
turing season is now practically ended. so
far as Eastern Canada is concerned, save
for a few mills which are situated on the
season would be the case.
sea-coast and can therefore be operated
all through the winter, although there are
many mills thus located that close down
for two or three months at this season of
the year. Shipments from this port have
been rather light during the last six
weeks and stocks have increased some-
what during that time, but in spite of this
fact it is doubtful if there are any more
than 8,000,000 feet of English deals in
stock and for sale at this port, certainly
not more than 10,000,000 feet.
Alfred Mitchell and Daniel McRae,
operating a saw mill at Powassan, Ont.,
have dissolved partnership.

THE MOUNTAIN LUMBER MANU-
FACTURERS’ ASSOCIATION.
A meeting of the Mountain Lumber
Manufacturers’ Association was held at
Nelson, B.C., on November 13. Among
those present were: A. Leitch, C. Dj
McNabb, M. B. King, W. F. Gurd, Cran-
brook ; J. A. Dewar, Ymir; W. C. Wells,
M.L.A., Palliser ; F. W. Jones, Golden ;
Joseph Deschamps, Rossland ; T. Lud-
gate, Arrowhead ; J. J. Billings, J.
Genelle, Nakusp; I, C. Schermerhorn
and C. I. Archibald, Nelson.
A. Leitch, president of the association,
occupied the chair, and W. F. Gurd was
secretary. A large portion of the time
was taken up in discussing the internal
affairs of the association, special rates and
other matters. The principal matter de-
cided on was to again approach the
Dominion Government on the importation
into Canada from the United States of
rough lumber free of duty, and to press
for a tariff of $2 per thousand feet. A
carefully drawn up petition will be sent to
Ottawa setting forth the views of the as-
sociation, and a special committee was
appointed to visit the coast cities in con-
nection with the movement and with other
matters of interest to the association.
The dry kiln of the Hazelmere Lumber
Company at Hazelmere, B.C., was burned
a few days ago, the loss being about
$2,000.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO,
The close of the month of November
finds the lumber trade of this province in
a healthy condition. There is a season-
able volume ot white pine moving from
the yards to consumers, as the weather
has been favorable for outdoor work. This
is not the season when the demand is like-
ly to increase,as there is always a disposi-
tion to curtail obligations towards the
close of the year. Manufacturers are re-
ceiving a number of inquiries from United
States dealers, but many of these are
believed to be for the purpose of ascer-
taining the feeling of the trade as to prices
rather than with a view to placing orders.
The ready buyer has no difficulty in find-
ing plenty of pine lumber of the common
and higher grades, but mill culls and box
are less plentiful. Notwithstanding that
these latter grades have declined but
little in comparison with the better quali-
ties, they are likely, if present indications
count for anything, to be the first to be
advanced in price.
The lath situation has become interest-
ing. No. 1 pine has been bought up quite
heavily and there is very little in the
hands of manufacturers. The mill price
in Western Ontario is now about $2.70,
and predictions have been made that this
figure will appear very low when compar-
ed with the price which is likely to be
reached before next spring.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
While the spruce lumber market is quiet,
the tone continues strong when compared
with the conditions which prevailed dur-
ing the summer months. There is a good
demand for specifications suitable for the
American market, where certain kinds of
narrow dimension stuff are commanding a
premium. Clapboards, which have been
dragging all season, are now holding
their own a little better, and it would not
take a very active buying movement to
advance prices.
New Brunswick cedar shingles are
gradually getting into a stronger posi-
tion. The product is sold up pretty close
to the saws on every grade except Ex-
tras, which are now firm at $3.20 to
$3.25 for Boston delivery. Clears are
very scarce and easily bring $2.80. It is
estimated that the cut of the winter mills
will be below the average and the tenden-
cy of prices during the next three months
should be towards a higher basis.
UNITED STATES.
A moderate degree of strength contin
ues to pervade the lumber market of the
United States. Last week the Mississip-
pi Valley Lumbermen’s Association adopt-
ed a new price list making an advance
on several items, including piece stuff and
timbers, No. 1, No. 2 and No. 4 boards
and lath. The quantity of lumber on hand
is comparatively small, notwithstanding
that the season has been favorable for
manufacturing. The bulk of the white
pine lumber is now in the hands of whole-
sale dealers, and they are not likely to
make any price concessions. The East-
ern States retail dealers are stocking up
in some quantity. Box grades continue
to have the call, while shop and better is
reported slow. At Buffalo and Tona-
wanda prices are slightly irregular, the
entire range of the leading grades of pine
being given as follows: Uppers, $80 to
$90 ; selects, $68 to $85; fine common,
$53 to $80 ; No. 1 cuts, $38 to $72; No. 2
cuts, $25 to $55 ; No. 3 cuts, $21 to $27 ;
No. 1 mouldings, $50 to $52 ; No. 1 dress-
ing, $28 to $45; No. 1 barn, $24.50 to $33;
No. 2 barn,$21 to $27 ; No. 3 barn, $18 to
$24 ; box, $16 to $25 ; No. 2 box, $17.
The price of spruce frames are stronger
and only a few mills are selling as low as
the list, which is $19 for 9 inch and under
Il.

and $21 for over. Random is still offering
at Boston at $17 for 2x 3 to 2x7, and
$18 for 2x 8andg9. Hardwoods are not
much changed since Jast writing. Bass-
wood is moving a little more freely, but
prices are still easy. Birch is in good re-
quest.
GREAT BRITAIN.
Confidence in the British lumber mar-
ket is gradually being restored. Business
is improving and prices in most instances
are hardening. Dealers who have held
off huvine are coming to the conclusion
that they allowed their opportunity to pass
and are now coming into the market at
current prices. The improvement is very
gradual, as might be expected, but before
next spring there is likely to be a con-
siderable advance in most lines. Spruce
Prices are firm at about £6 15s. per stand-
ard tor St, John parcels. The results at
the late auction sales have been more
satisfactory. A quantity of 3 x 9 first,
second and third quality Wolfe River
spruce, in long lengths, brought £8 tos.
per standard and some 3 x 8 unassorted
Quebec regulars £7 10s., 2% x 4% from
the same port bringing £7 15s. Hard-
wood planks and deals sold at £7 10s.,
which is considered an excellent result
and due to the small stock on hand.
Shippers should remember that this is a
retail quotation. Nevertheless, there has
been a_ substantial recovery in birch
planks, as is shown by the following ex-
tract from the Timber News, London,
England :
from time to time that hardwood planks
We have advised in our report
were bound to increase in price. The
proof of the correctness of the advice is
that about three months ago the ex quay
price of Halitax stock was about £6 165s.
to £7. The latest sale for similar stock is
over £8, and shippers are asking higher
prices, for early shipment and will no doubt
realize their anticipations, as the advices
from the other side are to the effect. that
stock for’ immediate shipment is very
scarce.

The saw mills at Three Rivers, Que.,
cut about 75,000,000 feet of lumber during
the past season. The mills located at this
point are owned by Alex. Baptiste, Great
Falls Lumber Company, Burrill Lumber
Company and Union Bag & Paper Com-
pany.
Buffalo quotations for slack cooperage
stock remain at $10.25 to $10.75 for first-
class flour barrel staves, 7 to 7% cents
for first-class basswood heading, and $9.50
to $10 for 6-foot coiled hoops.
Hemlock is selling in Michigan at $12
for piece stuff and $13 for boards.
G. Keddy and Albert Zwicker, of Ma-
hone, N.S., have purchased the timber of
the Cook property near Bridgewater, and
will establish a saw mill there.
The first steamer ever loaded with lum-
ber at Portland for the Argentine Republic
is about to sail. It 1s the Osceola and will
carry 700,000 feet of Canadian spruce.
Some millmen figure that 25 per cent.
of the No. 3 and better pine to be cut at
Duluth next season bas been contracted
for. The lower grades for next year are
astonishingly well sold out.

LATH ‘PRODUCTION: AND DEMAND.
At the present time the demand for
white pine lath exceeds the supply and
prices are Jargely controlled by the seller.
The supply of lath at the Lake Superior
mills, throughout Michigan and in the
Georgian Bay district has almost entirely
passed out of first hands. Commenting
on the situation, the American Lumber-
man says:
All the manufacturers along the lakes
have sold out their stocks of lath. The
wholesale and retail dealers now have all
the lath in sight and they hold but a small
percentage of the”"demand. Inj such a
situation where isthe supply to come from
for the residue of the season? and where
are the stocks for the late winter and ear-
ly spring trade ?
Prices_of lath are now a consideration
of less importance than is the ability to
obtain Jath at all. Holders of what lath
there are can about make their own prices
and the response will be prompt.
The interesting question arises, What
has caused this season's scarcity of lath in
the Michigan markets as well as in the
entire middle west and eastward ? Un-
doubtedly the decline of northern pine
manufacture and the demand for box and
crating lumber which has induced the use
of as much of the log as possible for such
purposes. To these causes must be added
the extraordinary consumption of lath this
year as a result of extensive building
operations.
As the production of strictly white pine,
as distinct from norway pine, diminishes,
white pine lath become also a diminishing
quantity. This shrinkage in volume is ac-
centuated by economies in manufacture,
which results in the use of all possible
material in the log for purposes other than
conversion into lath. Time was when the
log was literally slabbed and the slabs
were converted into lath to a large ex_
tent. Now the slabs are made as thin as

“possible and these slabs"are resawed into
box and crate stuff, or into any form that
renders it usable. This reduces the per-
centage of lath that results from the con-
version of the log.
pine is equally so of norway.
production has increased within recent
years, and hemlock lath are in high favor
wherever their merit is known.
are wide sections in the prairie states in
which hemlock lath are in disfavor simply
because cousumers are unused to them.
Prices of good hemlock lath are about on
a par with those of white pine.
duction of hemlock lath has not yet at-
tained sufficient magnitude to make good
for the decline in the output of pine lath,
nor is it likely to.
It should be observed that the scarcity
of lath has arisen in the face of the use of
a variety of metal and other kinds of lath.
For ordinary building purposes nothing i
seems to have displaced the lath that is
turned out by the saw mills. This is be-
cause wood lath is the cheapest ceiling
material that can be found, no matter how
high prices may go.
long as the saw mills shall run and thei,
lath machine adjuncts shall continue in
operation there will be a demand for their
product, even at prices that would have
been deemed excessive a few years ago.
‘In view of the fact that lath stocks this
fall are about cleaned up, and stocks dur”
ing the winter cannot much accumulate,
it looks as if the lucky holder of good sup-
plies at present stands to make a good
profit on them.

ROCK ELM PRICES.
TORONTO, November 29, 1904.
Editor CANADA LUMBERMAN :
DEAR S1R,—In your issue of November
16th, referring to trade in Great Britain,
you state, ‘‘ Of the hardwoods Rock Elm
is particularly strong. The stock is light
and it has been found comparatively easy
to advance prices, which now stand at
gs. 6d. to 3s. 7d. per cubic foot.”
We are afraid that this will give mil)
men the idea that this can be obtained for
the ordinary run of stock, whereas we find
it difficult to secure more than $50.00 for
ists and 2nds. Of course, we can readily
understand that you refer to Rock Elm
timber in long lengths. =
Yours truly,
C. S. PowELt & Co.
LOGGING CONDITIONS IN NEW
BRUNSWICK.
The fall rains on the Upper St. John
river have worked against the lumbermen
in their operations. They have made
heavy muddy roads and the hauling of
supplies has been done with difficulty and
attended with unusual expense. The
ground, however, is now frozen and cov-
ered with about two inches of snow, and
the work is going along easily and more
satisfactorily. The cut this year, as stated
in an earlier issue, will not be more than
one-half of that of last season. On the
Upper St. John John Kilburn, for in-
stance, will not get out more than 2,000,-
000 feet of spruce ; John Morrison will cut
3,000,000 of cedar ; W. J. Noble will take
Out 6,000,000 to 7,000,000 for Cushing ;
Cunliffe will cut 5,000,000 for W. H. Mur-
ray on the Allegash. The Scott Bros.
will take about 9,000,000 from the St.
John. Four millions of this are J. Mc-
Connell’s old logs now on the yards on the
Wildcat, where they will cut another mil-
lion and a half; 1,600,000 will come from
the New Brunswick Railway Co.'s lands
and 60c,000 from lands some miles above
the city ; the balance trom other districts
along the St. John. On the Magaguadavic
Scott Bros. will cut a million, bringing
the total operations for the season up to
10,000,000.
On the Allegash the work will be pushed
along with activity. On this section the
cut will be proportionately larger than in
other districts of the St. John area, the
output being principally for the Van Buren
mills. For this concern Potts will cut
2,000,000, Chainard 2,000,000, McChaine
5,000,000, and Robert Aiken, operating
On the same river, will cut 3,000,000 for
Stetson, Cutler & Co.
The lumber cut on the Miramichi will
also be reduced to about half of last
year’s, which was between 85,000,000
and 90,000,000 on the North and the
South West.

SOME
CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
There is the usual tapering off in the
lumber demand that comes with the ap-
proach of the end of the year, but favor-
able weather has kept business more ac-
tive than usual at this season and con-
sumption has been fairly heavy. Indica-
tions point to some buying in a retail way
during the winter months, as very few
dealers have on hand a sufficient stock of
lumber to carry them through the winter.
The feeling as to the spring trade is some-
what optimistic, although itis a little early
to venture a prediction. The improve-
ment in the British market is being felt on
this side, prices for export stock
having advanced slightly. Twelve inch
boards in long lengths are being
held about $1 higher than in the early
’ fall. Very little contracting for next sea-
son’s production has taken place, but the
report comes from Ottawa that the manu-
facturers there are in favor of asking an
advance upon the prices which were ob-
tained one year ago. Hemlock prices are
steady and would probably advance but
for the competition from Southern pine.
Mill prices on pine shingles are from
five to ten cents higher than two weeks
ago, while lath isalso firmer. No. 1 hem-
lock lath has followed the lead of pine and
is now quoted at $2.10 at the mill.
NEW BRUNSWICK AND NOVA SCOTIA,
The spruce situation continues to show
improvement, although trade is quiet,
There is a great scarcity of certain sizes
and grades in New York, and some of
the Canadian mills have booked consider-
able orders for export to that city as well
as to Boston, The water mills are most-
ly closed down and the steam winter mills
will not be running much before January.
Nothing is being done in respect to British
trade, but the opinion prevails that there
will be an advance in prices as soon’ as
buyers begin to figure on ‘their require-
ments for next season.
There is no change in New’ Brunswick
shingles, but spruce lath has declined in.
price as the result of heavy shipments.
The New Brunswick product is worth
about $2.10 at St. Johnand American pro-
duct, $2.35, which is a decline of about 15
cents,
UNITED STATES.
There are some indications that the
lumber demand is settling down to a win-
ter basis, but there are so many build-
ings still to be completed that the call
for finishing material is~ considerable.
The trade as a whole is in a very satisfac-
tory condition and a heavy demand ‘is an-
ticipated after the turn of the year. « With
large crops of corn, oats and cotton, and
little less than an average yield of wheat,
the purchasing’ power of the farmer is
greater than it has been for years, and
.this is expected to be tne foundation for a.
period of industrial activity which will ex-
tend at least through the coming year.
Buffalo dealers report a material in-
crease in the number of inquiries for white
pine lumber. In many cases the buyers
are anticipating their early spring re-
quirements, as there is sume probability
of a shortage in the supply before the
opening of navigation next spring. Some
of the Chicago dealers have * WwW
lists making such advances as were ne-
cessary to bring their prices more in line
with those at the producing centres.
The new list issued by the Mississippi Val-
ley Lumbermen’s Association has stimu-
lated rather than checked the demand, it
being regarded as substantial evidence of
the trend of the market.
From New York, Buffalo and. Boston
come reports of a liberal call for hard-
woods. The strongest feature is plain
oak, but there is also an excellent de-
mand for birch. Rough maple and maple
flooring are moving to some extert,
the latter being in good d mand for tac.
tory purposes.
The scarcity of lath is an indication of
the amount of building which has been in
progress.

cotton industry has revived, manufactur-
ers are now able to obtain their supply of
raw cotton at a very reasonable price,
and the outlook for that branch of trade
is much brighter. This in turn has hene-
fitted the lumber trade. Some wholesale
dealers are showing a disposition to defer
purchases of lumber for next season until
after Christmas, but others are of. the
opinion that there will be an advantage in
purchasing at present as any
change in quotations is likely to be in the
direction of an improvement, The London
pine market is showing a decided firm-
ness. Retail dealers who have been hold-
ing off have thought it wise to begin to
replenish their somewhat depleted stocks
and all the good lots of lumber have been
quickly taken. Spruce is also very strong,

The Sprague Lumber Company, of Win-

THE BARBADOS MARKET.
Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Company
report as follows regarding the .Barbados
lumber market :
from Mahone
Bay, N.S., arrived during the fortnight
with 106,000 feet of Spruce, which had
been placed some time ago at $21.50 for
shipping, and $16.50 for second quality,
but we understand that this is rather short
of the quantity sold, and although there is
still another cargo on the way which is
also provided for, we can report our mar-
ket as slightly stronger, and value next
arrival at about $21.50 for shipping. In
white pine, we note a sale of 129,000 feet
ex ‘‘Virginia” via Martinique, which being
represented to be a very a fine cargo of
all merchantable, secured a purchaser at
$26.13, but proving on delivery to have a
large portion of refuse, an allowance of
$5, instead of the customary $4, was made
on'this. Dealers are now fairly well sup-
plied, and we must look for lower prices
for next receipts.
The only arrival of shingles consists of
757 bundles of Red Cedar Laying ex
“Orinoco,” which failed to secure a_pur-
chaser, and have been stored by consign-
The schooner ‘‘Clara”
ees along with others of same description
by previous steamers. Owing to the very
dry weather the demand for all kinds of
shingles has been very slack, and although
there is only a very small stock of Gaspe
in the market, we do not think better
prices than those last advised would be
obtained for next arrivals, unless quality
was very superior. Cedar Laying are in
fair supply and dealers’ ideas have been
much depressed by the report of two car-
goes now on the way.
Since the above was compiled the ‘‘G.
S. Troop” has arrived from Liverpool,
N.S., with 75,000 feet of white. pine,
18,000 spruce, and 9,000 hemlock, which
has been sold at $25.66 merchantable and
$20.06 second quality white pine, 22.06 for
spruce, and $19.06 for hemlock.
BIRCH PLANKS.
Among the side lines of the timber trade,
_ birch deals occupy a humble though use-
ful place. The birch of New Brunswick

up annually by chair and couch manufac-

To the tin-plate box
trade birch deals are well-nigh indispens-

is also large. As a general rule there is
no difficulty about supplies, and stocks are
usually more of an incubus than otherwise.
At the present time, however, buyers ap-
pear to have been caught napping, and,
with short supplies, prices are up to close
upon £8 c.i.f. At Liverpool the stock is
within unusually small compass, and en-

NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
St. foun, N. B., Dec. 1st, 1904.—The
coming of winter has brought the begin-
ning of a season of quiet in manufacturing
circles in this section that will probably
last at least until March 1st next, and it
will be April zoth before the mills are all
running at their full capacity. The freez-
ing of the coves and booms wherein the
logs are kept, which has taken place
quite early this year, has already causeda
cessation of operations at six mills and
several others will close down during the
next few days. To saw all winter a
mannfacturer must have logs piled in the
Narrows (which does not freeze), but in
only two or three cases has this been done

this year, and then with no important
quantity. Ip spite of the fact that such a
large quantity, of logs was cut last winter
on the St. John, such difficulty was exper-
ienced4ia rafting at Frederiction and , in
driving farther up the river, that at no
time during the season was there any sur-
plus worth mentioning in the immediate
vicinity of St. John and immediately avail-
able. There are now, it is estimated, in
the vicinity of 30,000,000 feet of all marks
of logs:in or near the booms at. Frederic-
~ ton. . The first of these will not be rafted
to any great extent before mid-May. The
stocks of logs in St. John are small and
are nearly all frozen in and will not be
available before mid-April, hence there
will be comparatively little done in a
manufacturing way before that time. This
is very disappointing to the miil-owners
generally, who, earlier this year, were
looking forward toa long manufacturing
season next year.
Reports from the camps in all districts
tell of ideal logging weather and condi-
tions. In up-river districts there has been
just enouvgh snow for yarding purposes.
In the loWer counties there has been no
snow as.yet, but the swamps have been
frozen hard for several weeks past and
all other conditions tend to make a suc-
cessful season,

price ot New Brunswick products is in

from $2.30 to $2.10, f.0.b., St. John. Am-

WANT REDUCTION IN STUMPAGE.
It is understood that a movement is on
foot to petition the Ontario Government
to reduce the stumpage charge on p’ne
timber. It will be remembered that at the
last sale of timber limits new regulations
were imposed fixing the stumpage charge
at $2 per thousand feet on saw logs and
five cents per cubic foot on board timber,
as compared with a former charge of $1.25
and 24 cents, It is contended by many
lumbermen that the new rate is too high,
and the Government will be asked to
lower it.

THE OUTLOOK FOR LUMBER.
In reviewing the white pine lumber mar-
ket, the Mississippi Valley Lumberman
comments on the outlook as follows :
The condition of lumber stocks every-
where and in all hands !s one which as-
sures strong prices at the very outset of
the new year. The amount of lumber in
the hands of the retailers was never so
small as it is at the present time. This
has been brought about through the con-
servative policy adhéred to by the dealers.
They have bought stock during the past
season in small quantities to meet the cur-
rent demands of their customers. There
is, therefore, practically no lumber in the
country. The manufacturers have suc-
ceeded in disposing of their cut unusually
clese to the saw and their stocks on hand
at the present time are small and badly
broken. There are some large individual
stocks, but in the aggregate the amount
of lumber now on hand is considerably be-
jow what it was a year ago, The mills
have followed a policy of curtailment in
their cut and the entire amount’ of white
pine manufactured during 1904 is the light-
est in many years. There is, therefore, a
very limited supply of white pine on hand
to meet the demand which is sure to come
at the opening of the year,
The wealth of the country is perhaps
the strongest feature in ‘the present sit-
uation. Prices for farm produce have at-
tained the highest average level in ten
years. Among certain grains, they are
higher than ever before. This era of
high prices comes at a time when the
crops are not small and whenthere is an
abundant yield of everything except
wheat. The corn crop is the largest in
the history of the country and it is selling
at prices indicative ofscarcity rather than
abundance, Live stock prices have been
gaining ground. There i isan advance in
values for all the commodities which enter
into commerce. In connection with the
crop situation it must be noted that the
aggregate crop this yéar is 7.7 per cent.
greater than that of a yéar ago, and this
crop will sellfor higher prices than have
been realized in many years. It is the
most profitable crop the farmer ever har-
vested in the United States, Manufactur-
ers who submitted their views of the sit-
uation at the recent meeting of the price
list committee of the ‘Mississippi Valley
Lumbermen's Association all concurred in
the belief that the present situation was
strong upon the basis of the very high
degree of prosperity throughout the coun-
try. On the conditions of the stocks, the
light supply of lumber;-and the wealth of
the country they, without exception, re-

OEE
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
garded a higher plane of values for white
pine to be a logical ou'come of the sit-
uation, It is, therefore, quite probable
that the early months of the new year will
witness an advancing list in all items of
white pine. One thing is certain, that the
present list will be the unyielding basis of
values after the first of the year.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
There has been some falling off in the
buying of lumber, for which the change to
winter weather has no doubt been respons-
ible. It isa settled fact that during the
next two or three months business will be
seasonably quiet, and -attention is now
being directed to inventories and to the
prospects for the spring trade. Some of
the largest manufacturers and dealers are
of the opinion that there will be an early
spring demand of considerable propor-
tions, as the consuming industries are in
a prosperous condition and likely to con-
tinue so throughout the coming year.
Unusual activity in Toronto is anticipated
as the result of increased building opera-
tions, for, although the value of buildings
erected during the year now closing was
upwards of $1,600,000 greater than the
previous year, the demand for residences
and for warehouse and factory accom-
modation is still considerable. Owing to
the high price of white pine, there is al-
most certain to be a heavy demand for
hemlock for construction purposes, and in
some quarters the price is expected to
advance. Some attention,is being given
to spruce lath owing to the scarcity of the
white pine variety, but the quantity manu-
factured in Ontario does not seem to be
sufficient to make it an important factor.
Lath prices generally are firm at the ad-
vance recently noted.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
The most influential factor in the spruce
lumber market is the demand for Ameri_
can specifications. For prompt delivery
higher prices are being received. Spruce
frames are very firmly held and clap-
boards are holding their own. So much
depends upon the course of the British
market, however, that no predictions as to
the future can be made with confidence.,
The St. John mills have all closed down
and there are light stocks in the yards.
Dealers
turess are holding their stock in anticipa-
tion of a better market. Deals for next
year’s shipment from West Bay and Pug-
wash are being bought at from $10.25 to
$10.50 per thousand feet.
who purchased from manufac-
The cedar shingle market has not im-
proved, there being plenty of Extras
offering for Boston delivery at $2.20 to
$2.25. Clears are showing much more
strength than Extras, as the supply of
that grade is not large.
UNITED STATES.
The early part of December has brought:
about no material change in the lumber
situation. The demand, of course, is only
moderate, but prices are firmly maintain-
ed. Eastern dealers are picking up spec-
ial lots of white pine, which would seem
to indicate that stocks are somewhat
broken. Inquiries are also being made
for stocks for delivery early next year,
the feeling apparently being that prices
The box grades
are the most active, while shop lumber
and better is a little slow. Spruce is very
strong and difficulty is being experienced
in getting either frames or random for
prompt shipment. Dry hemlock is scarce
and is held in the Saginaw Valley at $12
and upwards, boards being one dollar
higher than piece stuff. Michigan maple.
is held at $22, $15 and $9 for inch.
Quartered oak is plentiful, while plain oak
is scarce. There is still a good call for
birch and the supply is not particularly
large.
are not likely to decline.
Lath is from five to ten cents higher
than last week, No.1 white pine being
quoted at $4.05 for delivery by car load in
Chicago, and mixed at $3.55. Red cedar
shingles have receded about five cents.
The entire shingle market is uncertain,
although white pine are stronger than
cedars,

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
GREAT BRITAIN,
The statistical position of lumber in the
United Kingdom is commencing to have
an influence on prices and is responsible
for an advancing tendency. Nearly all
classes of lumber are in lighter supply at
theimporting centres than at the corres-
ponding date one year ago. Taking the
Surrey Commercial Docks at London, for
example, it is found that pine deals show
a decrease of 84,812 pieces, and spruce
deals of 111,073 pieces. In prepared
boards there is the marked decrease of
1,674,935 pieces. The total stock of deals
on the public docks at London on Decem-
ber Ist last was 1,912,297 pieces, which,
at the current rate of consumption, would
provide a stock for 5.85 months. One
year ago the supply was 2,223,624 pieces,
and the duration of supply 6.41 months,
whereas at the corresponding period in
1902 the duration of the supply was 6.70
months. The present position is in favor
of holders of lumber, which fact promises
to result in a steady appreciation of
values.
That the situation is much improved
cannot be disputed, but it is only natural
that a tendency towards
operations should prevail. A few specu-
lative purchases for next season have
been made, but buying has not yet become
general. Waney pine is in very light
supply at London and promises to be very
scarce before next year’s imports are re-
ceived. There isa fairly good demand
for elm, while birch planks are almost out
of stock and fresh arrivals will command
better prices than have been obtained for
a considerable time,
conservative
STOCKS AND PRICES.
Spruce lath are quoted in Boston at
$3.10 for 1% inch and $3.25 for 15£ inch,
rail delivery.
The Miramichi Pulp & Paper Company,
of Chatham, N. B., are contracting for
large quantities of pulp wood.
Buffalo received by lake this season
189,671,000 feet of lumber and 170,118,000
shingles. The amount last season to date
was 161,494,000 feet of lumber and 202,-
090,000 shingles.
From the opening of navigation to De-
cember rst a total of 399,511,849 feet of
lumber was received at the Tonawandas
by vessel, as compared with 439,000,000
feet for the corresponding period of 1903.
During the month of November there
was received at Bay City, Mich., by boat
approximately 12,000,000 feet of lumber,
of which 8,000,000 feet came from the
Georgian Bay and the remainder from
Lake Superior.
The American Lumberman says that
several of the leading buyers from the
eastern end of Lake Erie are at the head
of the lakes and Ashland this week looking
over the situation and stocks, but so far as
is known have made no purchases as yet.
Notwithstanding the prevailing low price
of lumber, it is probable that the cut of
logs this winter in Cumberland County,
Nova Scotia, will not be greatly reduced,
as there is considerable burnt timber which
must be cut. C. T. White,of Apple River,
has four camps in the woods and will cut
about 7,000,000 feet. E. I. White, of
Sand River, has two camps and will cut
about 2,000,000 feet. B. B. Barnhill, of
Two Rivers, has one camp at work.
Robertson, Wright & Company are con-
ducting operations at Shulee about the
same extent as usual.
The contract for the supply of lumber
for the city of Toronto has been awarded
as follows: Plank $18.69 per thousand
feet, boards $17.96, to Reid & Company ;
cedar posts, 183/ cents each, to Reid &
Company ; lumber, 1 to 6 inches thick,
pine $22.79, hemlock $15.79, Reid & Com-
pany ; hemlock timbers, 12 x 12 inches, 12
to 16 feet long, $16, Reid & Company ;
pine timbers, 12 x 12 inches, 12 to 16 feet
long, $21 ; 20 feet long, $22 ; 24 feet long,
$24, to Arthur Bryce; hemlock timbers,
12 X 12 inches, 20 feet long, $19; 24 feet
long, $21, to Arthur Bryce.

CONFERENCE CONCERNING A
LUMBER DUTY.
The business men of Vancouver, B.C.,
and vicinity, held a conference on Decem-
ber 4 with Senator Templeman, Mr.
Ralph Smith, M.P. for Nanaimo, Mr.
Wm. Sloan, M.P. for Comox-Atlin, and
Mr. Duncan Ross, M.P. for Yale-Cariboo,
the purpose being to discuss the question
of protecting the lumber industry of Br't-
. ish Columbia.

Mr. H. McDowell, presi-
dent of the Board of Trade, was ehair-
man,
Mr. J. G. Scott, manager of the Pacific
Coast Lumber Company, briefly reviewed
the situation and pointed out that the im-
ports of lumber into Canada are increas-
ing. While in 1903 the total imports ag-
gregated 60,000,000 feet, the statistics for
1904 show that the importations will reach
140,000,000 feet, and the increase was
likely to be steady unless protection is af-
forded the Canadian industry.
Mr. C. M. Beecher, general manager of
the British Columbia Mills, Timber &Trad-
ing Company, stated that where a mill
could be constructed and equipped in the
State of Washington for say $250,000,
the same mill could not be duplicated in
British Columbia for less than $300,000.
On the other side of the line mill machin-
ery was much cheaper than in Canada.
British Columbia millmen who import
American machinery have to pay a duty
of 25 to 30 per cent. on same. He stated
that if tne machinery and supplies were
bought in Canada it
was the same
thing in the long run as paying the
duty, for the Canadian manufacturer
added the duty to his prices. The
Northwest farmer would be protected
‘against high lumber prices by the pro-
ductive capacity of existing Canadian
mills, which was much greater than the
possible home consumption. Mr. Beecher
pointed out that under reciprocal trade
relations with the United Siates the lum-
bermen of British Columbia would be ben-
efitted by having a much larger market.
Other speakers were Mr. L. A. Lewis,
of the Brunette Saw Mill Company, R, H.
Alexander, of the British Columbia Mills,
Timber & Trading Company, and W. C.
Wells, of Palliser.
At the conclusion of the arguments ad-
vanced Senator Templeman strongly ad-
vised those interested to senda deputation
to Ottawa to press the matter npon the
Dominion Government.
