An important feature during the year, one, in fact, which has been growing more noticeable for the past eight or nine years, was the change in the source of supplies.

In Canada, however, the new productions were meanwhile being disposed of at an average advance of about 4 per cent, on the previous year, whicn fact, beyond assuring stockholders of the wisdom of a "waiting policy," did little to help a revival in business here. The truth is, that after a long endurance of continually rising prices, pine users are being forced to experiment successively with substitutes of various kinds, some of which have been adopted for special purposes. The season's trade was confined to sales in small parcel lots, buyers not having dared to venture upon transactions of a wholesale character. Prices ruled for 3 x 11- inch £32 10s., £23 10s. and £16, and for 3 x 7/10-inch £22 10s., £17 10s. and £13 5s. for lsts, 2nds and 3rds, respectively, lsts and 2nds, and especially lsts, were in good demand, but 4ths were a drug throughout the season.
