This is an advantage to the merchants, as the slab trade was very injurious generally. Stocks all around are moderate, there not being appar- ently a great excess of any class of goods.

The Timber Trades Journal of Dec. 12th says :—The past seven days show a very short list of arrivals, and none of them call for any special comment. The weather has been ex- tremely stormy, a very severe frost having come on, followed now by a snow storm of some severity, the two combined being amply suffic- ient to stop all outdoor employments, and in consequence thereof business has been practi- cally suspended. Most of the saw mills are only partially employed, many of them work- ing three-quarter time only. With the advent of winter in its severest form, a great number of men are out of employment, and the distress reported is very great. If not so great as last year, it is certainly sufficient to excite the sym- pathy of the more fortunate, and already in the city and neighborhood relief committees are being formed to cope with it if possible. No ships of much importance are reported as being due, and in all probability we shall not have many more during the present season. LEITH. The Timber Trades Journal of Dec. 12th says :—The arrivals of wood cargoes during the week have not been numerous, but they include a cargo yellow pine timber, deals, etc., per Almedia, from Quebec, for Messrs. James Dun- can & Co., and a large cargo pitch pine timber per Lanarkshire, from Pascagoula, for Messrs. Ferguson, Davidson & Co. The Almedia is the last cargo expected at this port from Quebec this season
