May 3, 1899 NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES. The shingle market continues to exhibit an improved tone, and prices are generally being maintained. Quotations are same as given last week, viz., extras $3, clears $, and second clears $2, delivered at Boston. The mills will not be in operation for a few weeks yet, and there is no probability that the supply will exceed the demand. Many of the largest handlers of New Brunswick shingles are not only completely out of stock, but, as we have before stated, have sold largely in advance. Manufacturers appear to be wakening up to a better understanding of market conditions, and the shingle trade is likely to be more prosperous in future. LOG PRODUCTION IN ONTARIO. The extent of the production of pine logs in Ontario during the past winter is a question of general interest to lumbermen. From infor- mation obtained from different reliable sources, the Canada Lumberman believes that the output was slightly less than in the winter of 1897-98. This reduction, although slight, is due to two causes, one being the enactment of the manufacturing clause, and the other the deep snow in some districts, rendering logging operations extremely difficult. Some particulars are given below. In the Ottawa Valley the production of pine logs during the past winter is expected to fall short of the output of the previous winter by about 10 per cent. In the Pembroke district, extending as far north as the head of Lake Temiscamingue, the cut of logs was about one million pieces, containing approximately eighty-five million feet. There was also taken out in this district about five thousand pieces of square timber, of perhaps fifty feet average, about ten thousand cords of pulp wood, and a quantity of cedar and other timber. An approximate estimate of the cut in the Peterboro' distric
