The "prices of peavies, cant hooks, and axe handles for the coming season have not been arranged, bnt it is altogether likely that these lines also will be advanced in a slight degree. The ruling prices of camp stoves and ranges are identical with those of one year ago, and as far as local conditions in Canada are concerned, there seems no good reason why there should be any change during the present year. On account of the brisk demand for lumber, the outlook for manufacturer's of logging tools is bright. If the general prosperity of the coun- try should continue unimpaired, the production of logs in the winter of 1905-6 will doubtless be larger than during the. past winter, with a consequent increase in the consumption of lumbering appliances.

The great increase in general trade and the continued prosperity of the country has caused the prices of good draught horses to advance, and while it has encouraged breeders to go on raising horses and improving their quality, there seems to be little likelihood of prices being lower in Cana- da. At the present time the average price of working horses is probably higher in Canada than in any other country, and when it is con- sidered that we have practically no export trade, this speaks well for the prosperous con- price, this is offset by the higher cost o
