Canada Lumberman Weekly Edition April 24, 1901 SUCCESSFUL TIMBER LIMIT SALE. As announced, the timber limits in the township of Ermating-er, onthe north shore of Lake Huron, jointly owned by Messis. Peter Ryan and E. R. C. Clarkson, were offered for sale in the rotunda of the Board of Tiade, Toronto, on Thurday, April i8th. The township comprises thirty- six square miles, and was divided into four lots of 9 square miles each. Mr. Ryan was auctioneer. The attendance of lumbermen was large and the bidding at times quite spirited, particularly for the . north-east quarter. The limits were disposed of a follows : South-east quarter, $42,000, to J. W. , of Pembroke. North-east quarter, $96,000, to Ferguson McFadden, Renfrew. South-west quarter, $63,000, to J. W. Munro, Pembroke. North-west quarter, $55,000, J. W. Munro, Pembroke. The net proceeds of the sale were $256,- 000, or over $7,000 per square mile, which is regarded as an exceptionally good price. When the same limits were offered for sale a short time ago the reserve bid of $125,000 was not reached, and the 1 mits were withdrawn. The wisdom of this course has now been demonstrated consumption has been checked. Spruce deals, on the other hand, have dropped considerably in the month of March; Quebec 2nd and 3rd being now 10s to 15s per standard lower than in February, and St. John deals having been sold at very unreasonable rates, from which recovery should be rapid. Birch timber and planks have been in better demand, and elm and ash timber also in a retail way. In white pine there is no change to record. Oak has continued difficult to sell favourably.
