THE CANADA LUMBERMAN. 7 ST. JOHN, N.B. From Our Own Correspondent. Stream Driving.âIt our last reference was made to the favorable condition of the water in the rivers and streams for bringing out the logs. While it lasted the freshet was very favorable indeed, but coming so late in the season it fell off very rapidly, and considerable quantities of logs were " hung up" in consequence. The great bulk of the logs, however, were got out and those left behind for the present will, no doubt, all come to market in the course of the season. Steamships.âReferring to this new element in our lumber carrying trade, its development appears to be quite rapid. Already this season eleven vessels of this description, of an aggre- gate tonnage of 12,076, have been cleared with deal cargoes. Another (the Anny Dora, 1,107 tons) is now loading, and we hear of five others recently chartered, which may be expected to arrive in-a few days. Estimating these latter at 1,000 tons each, we have seventeen steam- ships of 18,183 tons engaged in this trade up to the present time. Freights.âA large number of vessels have arrived in the last few days, and the freight market is much depressed. The latest trans- action reported, was at 53/. for Liverpool, which may be quoted as about the market rate to-day. Shipping List.âThe following is the list of square rigged vessels in port, with their tonnage and destination :â Riverside, 1,234, Liverpool. Equator, 1,272, Liverpool. Northumbria, 1,592, Liverpool.

" United States 2,987,000 " West Indies 100,000 " St. John, X.B., June 18th, 1881. DTJLUTH. The Duluth section will this year manufacture sixty million feet of lumber as follows :â Peyton & Co 5,000,000 Griff, Little & Co 10,000,000 A. M. Miller 8,000,000 Payne 4 Co 10,000,000 Grey ACo 4,000,000 Knife Falls Lumber Co 25,000,000 Total 62,000,000 Ixnrejoy & Co., shingles 14,000,000 Thifl in nearly double the amount cut last year, and will be increased next year to nearly 100,000.000 feet by new mills and increasing capacity of those already built. As freight* rule low at present, and may con- tinue to do ho for a time, it is to be feared that shippeni may be tempted by this to send cargoes on the open market to an extent greater than the present itate of trade warrants. It is only by withholding every foot of timU:r as long as possible, so as to enable this market to right iw.lf, that the business can be rendered profit- able to those interested in it, TIMBER NEWS.
