G*:jrTi*EMEN,_.-. ;,.)u.|ai?. .■ . lo aoaoads- ' ' ' " .' 1 flo;*ili»«ii4 ^^ ^*? appareat ^OWatds the clo«e o4" the year 1849, that the supply of Colonial Wood gaine4 on us ; bu^ with limited impoct^tion during the Summet, imd large consumption throughout the year, it WM not et^iipoaed it had gained on us to the extent of nine months' average consumption ; when, therefore, the annual returns carried over this large amount of Deals in the Public Dock Stpeks, there was more than the uiual indi^sition to buy in the new year ;^-« hard frost stopped building, and there certAinly could be bo tetnjptution for !((iecuiative operations. Sales by Auction curly in January were not suceesaful, except in ro 6(/., an advance on previous rates; and Third Quality having passed their minimum, are no longer sold for leas than charges, at and under £7, but may be quoted £7 5s. to £8 ; the stock of Tliirds is sitinll, of Seconds enormous, and of First Quality siliffieient ; nearly all being in few and strong hafids, tlie cliief holders are not contemplating lower prices while steadily awaiting the spring triide. For the future no proceeds oan be rockonod On for Gutsizes of Pine Deals, every sale of euch is worse ; from the Baltic and Norway, dimensions are uniform as required. Why should they not be equally so from Canada ? Those who suiFer the loM must correct the evil, for the trade here think no reduction adequate to the incumbrance. ■■.'tj0(- I9l«|^ i^ifcV^fcSi i?>o««'J' .Quebec Spruce Deals cannot be quoted higher than £16 for First Quality, and £14 fdr Second Quality. Sc ties have been effected at 20«. less, and it is only consequent on the last auction prices that av-. : - enabled to name again the lull rate. Shorter than 12 feet, and thihner than 3 inches, suffer in a large abatement, asi wellas Battens. The stock is ample, the demand and consumption apparently very slack. Quebec Red Pine Timber has dropped as low as 55*. per load for small average, and middling'' fize and quality to 62*. 6d. Some quantity has been vended at these rates ; — nothing at more; nor is it likely w'th Baltic Timber at the same prices, and, when forced, even as low as 50«. Quebec Yellow Pine Timber has been also pressed down, partly in its own sale, and partly by competing Timber — 50«. the lowest, and 55». probably the highest of recent business, though some still imagine the quotation^ of 60#. Elm Timber has seen 65s. for small average ; 60«., 95t., and even 75s. may be rated as size and quality rises in the scale, witli firmness in holding. The fall supply contained much small and inferior, and very little Rock Elm of good siae, so* that which is good will sell in due time. Ash Timber ceasing to occupy a position in our market, its value has become uncertain ; — we have sold ^*' m S/?i^/ ff^/LL^ CM J>0Bxporfciiced throughout last season — some small has gone as low as 60s., and stout at 75«.: there does not seem room for present improvement looking to the absence of its consumption.
