July 12, 1899 \ needed rain has fallen throughout the South Australian colonies, and agricultural pros- pects are brighter than they have been for many years past. This will give an im- petus to the commerce of the country, in which lumber will no doubt share. STOCKS AND PRICES. A raft of square timber comprising ninety cribs, and owned bv Wm. Mackey, passed through the slides at Ottawa last week. The Dominion government is calling tor tenders for the construction of a telegraph line from River Romaine eastward to Baie Chateau, Strait of Belle Isle. The str. Veva sailed from Parrsboro, N. S., on July 5th, for a British port, with 2,099,474 feet of deals and 226,458 feet of ends and scantling, shipped by M. L. Tucker. , The str. Cheronea sailed last week from St. John, N. B., for Cardiff, with 1,672 standards of deals. The Ann-* Moore sailed for Dublin with 1,067 stand- ards of deals. By the breaking away of the boom at the mills of F. X. Gosselin, at Biae St. Paul, Que., a large quantity of logs passed out to sea. The loss is estimated at $25,000, but it is hoped that some of the logs may yet be recovered. Last week L. C. Slade purchased 2,000,- 000 feet of lumber from Pitts & Co., of Bay City, Mich., cut from Canadian logs. Mershon &. Co. also bought 1,500,000 feet from the same firm, these being the only sales of any consequence reported. There are few shingles being manufac- tured in Michigan this season. Not much shingle timber was put in during the winter, and only one or two firms on the Saginaw river are making shingles. The price is $2 and $3 for pine, and 25 cents less for cedar.
