Review of Current Trade Conditions Ontario The mar ket for all the good grades of white pine in Ontario continues good in spite of the fact that the present is usually a dull season. Stocks are moving satisfactorily and there is an indication of a stiffening ten- dency in prices, which may result in increases before spring. Hemlock is looking better. B. C. cedar shingles in Ontario have advanced ten cents, but it is a question whether the prices will be obtained very gen- erally. The only thing that can keep the price of B.

White cedar XXXX, 18-inch, are quoted at 25 cents higher than at the first of January, and the corresponding brand of white pine are firm at $ to $4.
