The Timber Trades Journal of September 2Cth says :—A public sale of timber and deals took place at Port Glasgow on 17th inst., when there was a good a fair quantity changed hands. The sale of deals held here on 23rd inst. was well attended. There was a large ca'alogue, comprising 1st, 2nd and 3rd quality yellow pine deals, and red pine and spruce deals, California redwood, etc., but there was not much business done sb the offers made were, in view of the brokers, too low for acceptance. For 1st quality Michigan pine deals, large dimensions, offers were to 3s. 4d. per cubic foot. There were some sales made of Quebec 1st pine deal ends, at from 2s. 2d. to 2s. 8d. per cubi; foot. Some Quebec and Dalhousie birch timber was submitted after the sale of deals, but there was none sold, offers being under brokers s limits. There have been no arrivals to note at Green ock or Port Glasgow during the past week Some parcels of deals have been received here for steam liners. QUEBEC The Chronicle of Oct. 9th says :—Our Timber Trade at this port continues in the same slug- gish state which it has been in for weeks. The manufacturers hold out for higher rates, which shippers are not inclined to give, owing to the dull and depressed state of the markets of Great Britain. Two of Messrs. McLaughlin's raft
