CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER Canadian Lumber Suits South Africa Markets. J. A. Chesley. Canadian Trade Commissioner in South Africa, in a recent report says: "There is a very good market in South Africa for several kinds of lumber, especially pine, spruce, ash and-poplar. There is also a good opening for the introduction of planed, tongued and grooved flooring and sheathing, manufactured from birch, maple and pine. Canadian manufacturers and exporters of lumber should make an effort to mar- ket more wood in South Africa than they have done in the past. "An ad valorem duty of 3 per cent, is levied on wood manufactur- ed, and wood planed, tongued and grooved entering South Africa, the whole amount of which is rebated on Canadian lumber, which comes in under the preferential tariff. This advantage in the tariff over Canada's foreign competitors, Sweden. Norway and the United States, together with the excellent facilities provided by the Canadian South African Steamship line, which makes monthly sailings between the two countries, thus providing a means of transportation for consign- ments less than full cargoes, should be a,great stimulus to trade, and an inducement to Canadian exporters to assiduously cultivate the South African market.

These woods although known as pine, are very much like the Canadian black and Canadian white spruce. It is claimed by some people in the trade that Swedish white pine is a little lighter in color, and finer in grain than the Canadian spruce. It is, however, very difficult to dis- tinguish one from the other. The' red pine deal is largely used in buildings, for joists and studding, and for the manufacture of boxes. It is also imported in large quantities, planed, tongue
