CANADA LUMBERMAN 1«9 Nova Scotia Will Get Out Large Lumber Cut By Colin C. Tyrer As regards the export situation in Nova Scotia there has been quite a large quantity of lumber shipped to the English market. We have all been very glad to avail ourselves of this outlet as it simply meant saw- ing stock into random widths and lengths and shipping it as fast as it is manufactured. For some reason the people in England are insisting on having fresh sawn lumber in both hard- wood and spruce and, from our own experi- ence, any seasoned lum- ber which has been ship- ped over there, has not met with such a good market as fresh sawn stock has among most purchasers during the last few months.

The English field*is more attractive for the average operator here for the above reasons, as purchasers are not so strict with regard to the manufacture and do not make as many culls and shortages as in American. The price too has been just as good in dollars and cents, if not a trifle better, than in America; and then they will take the stock sawn chiefly into 3 inch and will take it as fast as manufactured. This again means $ or possibly $ per M. on to the price. With regard to the freight rate situation the ruling rate. Colin C. Tyrer, Halifax, N.
