THE CANADA LUMBERMAN. 11 BRISTOL. The Timber Trades Journal of Dec. 12th sayg:—Quebec sawn longitudinals are mostly imported this year, instead of railway timber. This is an advantage to the merchants, as the slab trade was very injurious generally. Stocks all around are moderate, there not being appar- ently a great excess of any class of goods. A cargo of Stettin oak (mostly butts) has arrived, and met with a very fair sale. TYNE. The Timber Trades Journal of Dec. 12th says :—The past seven days show a very short list of arrivals, and none of them call for any special comment. The weather has been ex- tremely stormy, a very severe frost having come on, followed now by a snow storm of some severity, the two combined being amply suffic- ient to stop all outdoor employments, and in consequence thereof business has been practi- cally suspended. Most of the saw mills are only partially employed, many of them work- ing three-quarter time only. With the advent of winter in its severest form, a great number of men are out of employment, and the distress reported is very great. If not so great as last year, it is certainly sufficient to excite the sym- pathy of the more fortunate, and already in the city and neighborhood relief committees are being formed to cope with it if possible. No ships of much importance are reported as being due, and in all probability we shall not have many more during the present season. LEITH. The Timber Trades Journal of Dec. 12th says :—The arrivals of wood cargoes during the week have not been numerous, but they include a cargo yellow pine timber, deals, etc., per Almedia, from Quebec, for Messrs. James Dun- can & Co., and a large cargo pitch pine timber per Lanarkshire, from Pascagoula, for Messrs. Ferguson, Davidson & Co. The Almedia is the last cargo expected at this port from Quebec this season. Business continues very quiet, and the trade from the yards is very restricted, the keen frost which has prevailed for the last few days being rather against orders being received from the builders. Messrs. Wm. Thomson & Co. held a public sale on Tuesday, 8th inst., at which they offer ed the balance of the yellow pine timber, oak, elm and birch, recently landed ex Alagua, from Quebec, and thereafter a varied assortment of Baltic deals and battens. There was a fair attendance of buyers, but a great lack of com- petition in the bidding, and the waney board yellow pine was with difficulty cleared out at an average price of 2s. 5d. per cubic foot. GLASGOW. fcv The Timber Trades Journal of Dec. 12th says :—A public sale of deals, result of which is given below, took place here on the 9th inst. The catalogue comprised large parcels of Mich- igan and Quebec pine deals, Dalhousie pine and spruce deals, California redwood, also birch and whitewood logs, &c. There was a numerous company, but very little disposition to bid was shown, and of the large variety of goods offer- ed only a small portion was sold. Some tran- sactions, however, were made privately at the close of the public sale. The trade, it is likely, will be better prepared for purchasing at the opening of the yeai. R«cent deliveries of deals and planks from Yorkhill yards, Glasgow, show a falling off compared with last year, the figures being: October and November, 1885, 163,271 pieces, and October and November, 1884, 194,447 piece*. Cargoes from Canada have now all arrived here for the season, the import list for the past week comprising the closing arrivals from Que bee, viz., those per Magnificent and Choice. Other imports at Greenock for the week have been a cargo of teak and one of pitch pine. The Glasgow arrivals consist chiefly of birch timber and sprues deals. Considering the stock on hand, the import of birch is in excess of the market's requirements. ALCTION SALE. On 9th inst., at Glasgow, Messrs.

Perhaps the most extraordinary that success has been achieved in modern silence has been attained by the Dixon treatment for Catarrh Out of 2,000 patients treated during the past six months, fully ninety per cent, have been cured of this stubborn malady. This is none the less startling when it is remembered that not five per oent. of the patients.presenting themselves to the reeular practitioner are benefltted.^while the patent medicines and other advertised cures Dever record a cure at all. Starting with the claim now generally believed by the most scientific men that the disease is due to the presence of living parasites in the tissues, Mr. Dixon at once adapted his cure 'o their exter- mination ; this accomplished the Catarrh is practically cured, and the permanency is un- questioned, as cures effected by him four years ago are cures still. No one else has ever attemp- ted to cure Catarrh in this manner, and no other treatment has ever cured Catarrh. The application of the remedy Is simple and can be done at home, and the present season of the year is the most favorable for a speedy and per- manent cure, the majority of cases being cured at one treatment. Suffprers should correspond with Messrs. A. H. DlxON <fe SON, 305 King street west, Toronto, Canada, and enclose a stamp for their treatise on Catarrh.— Montreal Star. lyl22.
