The replies received seem to indicate that, in comparison with last winter, there will be a decrease of from 10 to 15 per cent, in the production of pine logs, and an increase of about 10 per cent, in the cut of hardwoods. If this estimate should prove nearly correct, it is not probable that the season of 1900 will witness any material depreciation in lumber prices. The market is now very strong. Sales are reported at Wisconsin mills of mill culls at $12, No. 3 boards at $13, No. 2 at $15 and No. 1 at $17. and it is pre- dicted that mill culls will reach $13 before many weeks. It is stated that the cut of mill culls in some districts for the first half of the season has already been sold. At Bay City and Saginaw some changes in prices of pine have been made within the past fortnight. One to two inch uppers and selects have been advanced by about $2 per thousand. No. 1 and No. 2 barn boards are about $1 higher, as is also shipping culls of narrow widths. Shaky clear stock has advanced $2, selling from $28 to $30. Shingles are unchanged, but No. 1 white pine lath is slightly easier, selling in the Ray City market at $, against $ a few weeks ago. Attention is also directed to the changes in the Buffalo and Tona- wanda price list of white pine stock. Firmness still characterizes the hard- wood market. Basswood has been sold at $ for firsts and seconds delivered in Chicago. Brown ash is held at high figures, Wisconsin manufacturers asking $21 for log run at the mills. Shingle prices remain stationary. Dealers in the Eastern States are holding stock firmly, believing that the production this season will not be large. FOREIGN. Stock in the hands of brokers in
