August 2.—The Argus has the following : The most important movement in the district since our last report was fully set forth in yes terday's Argus, in giving the action of the trade on Monday, in which every house we believe participated, advancing the quotations of pine lumber, viz., $ $ M. feet on common ; $ $ M. feet on intermediate grades, and $ D? M. feet on uppers and inspected pickings, and pretty generally through the list. This is no sensational movement, but is taken by the trade in self-defense. Until yesterday pine lumber on dock at the Saginaw mills was, when the trade there would consent to name a price, bringin; as much money as at Albany. At present writing the Saginaw holders of lumber refuse to name a price for their stocks, not for the want of any logs, nor from any lack of demand, but the largely and steadily increasing trade renders present and future values there, as here, uncer- tain.

Whether this state of things is to continue much longer, until it will be too late to change the present aspect of things is, of course, uncertain ; but through out the Dominion, as on the Saginaw, all kinds of lumber are bringing and are held at much higher figures than were current in the winter. The sales here last week included the following round lots of common box at the then ruling prices: 1,500,000 feet, 1,700,000 feet, 1,000,000 and 500,000 feet; 600,000 feet various grades on p. t. To-day the market has a very. healthy aspect; a sale was made early of 1,400,000 feet common box, we presume, at the advanced prices. We do not think there is any material addition to stock. Hardwoods are steady and firm. The stock of coarse lumber is getting very light; the demand is
