August 27, 1902 Canada Lumberman Weekly Edition hi. cause of their not erecting mills here was alack of market for the Canadian product. It is true that at present Canadian mills cannot supply the immediate demand for shingles in Ontario and Manitoba, but Ihey were unprepared for such a large demand and consequently had liitle stock on hand when the rush came, and many of them had made provision for a supply of cedar timber sufficient to run ten hours per day only. The mills here will likely stock heavily during the winter, and it is not probable lh;>t there will be a scarcity next year. If the crops had been a failure in the North-west Territories and Mani- toba, it is doubtful if the mills now in operation would have had sufficient orders to keep them running more than ten hours per day. The fishing season has almost closed, and labor will be more plentiful and at reduced prices for Oriental labor. Prices of lumbi r are firm and likely to advance still further within the next few weeks.
