" Hand to mouth orders" were the rule at Liverpool: "trade exceedingly quiet " at Hull; " the timber trade presents a very dull appear ance " at West Hartlepool; " less is being done than at any time these twelve months " on the Tyne; "merchants still complain of the dull state of business" at Cardiff. Such are the reports to the Timber Trades Journal of Dec, 20th last. And at Glasgow there was, up to the 18th ult. " generally a quiet business, much of what was offered being withdrawn for lack of ; From Leith comes word of " the dulness of trade, speculative building being practically at a stand ; In London alone does there appear to be any exception to the general tenor we have above described. Pine goods there are helped in price by the destruction of 70,000 pine planks by the great fire at Dalston, about 40,000 of which were owned, it appears, by Messrs. Bryant, Powis & Bry- ant. The imports in English, Welsh, Scotch and Irish ports for eleven month of last year com- pared with the like period of 1883 show a decline at the close of November last equal to 324,000 loads or about 5£ per cent.
