Individuals charters of steamers have been effected at to 65S from Restigouche, Miramichi and Nova Scotia ports which, of course helps out, as these steamers can go to out- ports where a better price is obtainable than to regular liner ports in the Clyde, Mersey, Bristol Channel and London. Local trade in Halifax has been dead. There have been a large number of buildings torn down, which were in con- nection with the Halifax disaster and the war. This lumber is being peddled around at very low figures and seems to answer the present limited building requirements and repair work around here. With respect to trade in Nova Scotia generally it has been better in the other principal towns but not by any means active. As regards the quantity of lumber manufactured this year it has fallen considerably short on account of the hard winter we had. All operations were more or less curtailed and I think it is just as well as it keeps the whole situation in better shape, as the result is that stocks at the mills are limited. Referring to the future we think that people are plan- ning on carrying on logging and sawing opreations this fall and winter on a larger scale than last and, with favorable conditions, the output will be considerably increased. As regards the supply of men people are finding it difficult at the time of writing to get enough men to do their haying, which means many lumber operations are at a standstill for the time being.
