THE CANADA LUMBERMAN. 11 don for one staple is good, as we notice one sale of dimension lumber at £8 10s., and other trans- actions running from £6 to £7 5s. The American market has, of course, been affected this week by the death of the President. We can quote spruce boards and plank in Bos- ton at ; laths, from with fair demand for good dry stock. In New York laths have dropped, and recent sales have been made at SI. 90. Freights to transatlantic ports have varied the past week. We know of two charters for Lon- don, one at 58s. 9d., and one at 57s. 6.; also one at 60s. for Liverpool or Bristol Channel; and one at 59s., with the same choice of ports. Still another charter, is of a new character, say 57s. 6d., to any dock in the Mersey. Coastwise the freights have stiffened, and at this date we can quote for New York, $ ; Sound ports, §, and Boston, $ Outside deals are scarce, and prices are merely nominal, $ per M. being about the present rate. Logs also are hard to get, as those holding them are keeping them for their own use, and are not at all desi- rous of selling. St. John, N. B., September 23rd, 1881. ALBANY. September 22.—The Argus says the trade in the district since our last report has been very fair, and several large sales of box have been made. Inquiries are being received by rail from many of the poins of consumption, giving indi- cations of a very active fall trade. The disas- trous fire at Oswego, last week, by which eight to ten million feet of lumber were burned, is going to cut the supply still further short. A good deal of this lumber, we understand, was sold to be delivered in New York, and as the season is getting short, it will be hard for the dealers to replace their stocks. The receipts of lumber by lake at Buffalo for the week ending Sept. 20th were 7,363,400 fee
