Quiet rules in the Cuban market, inquiries for the future being scarce, while the ac- cumulations of old orders are nearly cleared away. No indication of recovery is observable, though it may be noted that Cuban business usually lags at this season, to return in more or less degree about November. Cuban shipment of the week was about 1,600,000 feet.—September 27th. When active buying declined several months ago, a fairly long list of orders were on the books, and these have main- tained the outgo at respectable figures, but most of them now have been shipped out, and few have been accepted to take their place. With high freights as generally prevailing during the hurricane season Cuba does not buy freely, and recovery generally comes with the easier freight costs of November and later. Such re- covery may be experienced this year, but the present promise is not for extensive development. The week of October 4th showed dull- ness most apparent in inquiry for Cuba.' The islands accounting for the week was less than one and a half million feet. CUBAN HARDWOODS IN ENGLAND Recent arrivals were 1,988 Logs Cuba mahogany of usual good quality and sizes, with several well-figured logs, being the first portion of the cargo just landed from Santa Cruz, and a parcel of 91 logs Cuba mahogany, all of which are figured, some finely, and many are plum logs. This latter parcel is a distinctly attractive one, and is bound to realize high prices. Following these there are for sale 253 logs of Cuban cedar, of good texture and of small to large sizes, and an exceptionally fine parcel Timber, of London.
