RED PINE.

No particular classification is made of this wood for the 

 market, beyond the separation of the larger from the 

 smaller or building scantlings, and the quotations of 

 prices for the timber are generally for " large," or for 

 " mixed," and " building " sizes. 



The Red Pine of Canada is dearer than the Fir 

 timber of the North of Europe by at least the difference 

 in the cost of freight, and, hence, it does not find quite 

 so ready a sale, the quality of the article to be employed 

 in ordinary building operations not being so much a 

 consideration as the quantity to be obtained for money.
