. Canadian forest industries 1882. Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. THE CANADA LUMBERMAN. 203 ready-made joinery, supplemented with walnut, mahogany, &c, and seems to have been entirely wood laden this trip, and represents the only American arrival in the week's list. The week's interval with nearly seventy vessels to record, and not a single cargo of spruce or pitch pine amongst them, and June too, is something un- ususual to witness. It is said freights are going begging at New York, and vessels out there are ready load up anything they can get, but we do not see any indications of it here yet. LIVERPOOL The Timber Trades Journal, of June 10, says : The effect of the recent holidays being now over has shown itself by putting a few orders into the market, yet there is by no means an animat- ed feeling. The continued importations of spruce, which are pressed upon the market as fast as the vessels arrive, have weakened the market, and this is likely to continue so long as the pressure to sell is maintained. A cargo just arrived by sailing vessel was offered for sale by auction on Thursday last, but there was an entire absence of buyers from the country, and the local dealers present did not seem anxious for the goods ; in fact only one bid was made for the best dimensions in the cargo, and this was so low that the brokers, Messrs. Farnworth & Jardine, withdrew it, and it has since been sold on private terms to a house in the trade here at a price the lowest that has been done this import season. The first imports from Quebec have arrived per steamers, and consist entirely of deals, upon timber merchants' account. The almost un- precedented severity of the weather in the St. Lawrence River will greatly retard the importa- tion of log timber and shorten the season. Higher freights have been paid for sailing vessels than had been expected, and charters are said to have been effected at 26s. to 27s. 6d.
