lluslii'ss iu this sictioii e.iiuliiiii s to 111' well malulaln.'d. and the auiouot 

 'it iiusiness passiiii; should leave little room for dissatisfaction. Ship- 

 iiiiiiding and houseiiulldlim. however, show little sign of Improvement, but 

 rlie latter sooner or later is hound to show some signs of revival, hccnuao 

 I here Is certainly a scarcity of moderate sized modern houses. There Is 

 iilso In the large cities throughout the country n decided scarcity of 

 houses, because numerous people ore being drawn from all over nearer 

 lo the munition factories now In course of erection. Tlie drawback for 

 some time has been (hat with the high cost of ground nnd materials 

 there has been no Inducement to build at existing rentals. A large call 

 is still being made for packing-case material, prices of which continue 

 lo advance stoailliy In sympathy with liie increased Import cost. Timber 

 freights are still soaring higher: in fact, space Is most dllllcult to secure, 

 as shipowners with such a wide choice Just now will take timber only 

 as a last alternative. 



Further sales have been made in Quebec yellow pine deals, nnd con- 

 siderahle clearances are reiiorled from stock. The demand, however, la 

 really limited to second and third qualities, there being practically no call 

 lor first quality. 



I'n'Klc coast clear spruce is and has been soiling at very high flgurcs, 

 .ind the only drawback is that supplies are limited meantime owing to 

 I he dearth of tonnage offering from the raciflc. Oregon pine both In 

 planks and logs has also become very scarce and dear, and supplies would 

 lome to a welcome market. For pitch pine the demand Is not very brisk, 

 lilrch logs are in good request, and it is reported that the heavy consign- 

 ments which came forward during .Tuiy and August have been practically 

 wiped out. The Import of bircli planks has been very limiled, and 

 probably this is Iho cause of the large consumpllon of logs. Consignments 

 of planks would loniinand high flgures Just now. 



In rf'u'ard to .Viueriean hardwonds. tin- demand is largely confined to 

 the lower grades and qualities of the various items. Hazel pine has been 

 more in evidence probably owing to its comparative cheapness. Walnut 

 linards command high prices Just now, hut the chief dilTlculty Is the getting 

 of supplies at present. Oak boards and canarywood are In fair request 

 Just now. Tliere are several large inquiries for oak scnntiing In the 

 market Just now, and should he fixed up within the next week or so. 



The demand for tonnage Is brisk all over, and It is hard to say what 

 height freights may yet attain. The demand now Is greater than since 

 the war liroke out, and there is no prospect of It failing away for some 

 time to come, with the tendency that freights will always lie in the 

 upward direction. F.von when the war Is over, the demand will continue 

 for quite a time, because slocks of everything are accumulating at all 

 ihe seaboards, and will require to be transported.
