The Timber Trades Journal of May 31, says : There is a steady consumption going' on at pre- sent, and it appears probable that when the statistics of the month are published they will compare not unfavorably with those of previous years. At the same time much of the business is being done on terms all in favor of buyers, some of the prices, especially in pitch pine, being far below the cost of import, and this was made evident at the auction sale on Wednesday, when exceedingly low prices were taken. Upon other articles there is no change in value, save that occasionally some very cheap bargains may be picked up in the way of remnants of stocks or balances of consignments, holders be- ing disposed to clear out at this time of year in order to make way for the spring ship- ments. Next week there will be little doing, owing to the Whitsuntide holidays, during which busi- ness is almost entirely suspended in Manches- ter and the manufacturing districts of Lancas- hire and Yorkshire, and this has had consider- able influence in inducing brokers to bring forward, their auction sales, of which there are two yet to take place this week.

The birch timber dragged a little at the beginning of the sale, but it afterwards moved off with a fair amount of animation. The prices realized were as follows :— Per Keswick, from St. John, N B 12,477 spruce deals, 1st, 2nd, &-3rd. S
