The Timber Trades Journal ae follows:
London.
American Black Walnut—T'he trade in this has of
late been wthout material change. A fair amount of
bii-ine'ts continues to be done, but there can bo no
doubt that the heavy importations of lumber have
greaily interfered wi'h tbe sale of log«, very little
being done in the latter at the late public sale.
American Wnitewood.— \ fair amount of business
c^ntiQue'i in this, though for some time past cut stuff
has been selhng much more freely tha<i logs.
Americtn Satin Waluur,.—Allbou2:h in many ca-^es
cabinet-makers have exp•es'^ed tbems»'lves otherwise
thin favorably concerniug ibis woodgenf rally, there
is now a more hopeful feeling entertained as to its
future, and the prospect of an mcreased demand has
already given sume stimulus to business; and, fur¬
ther, we understand, th-re are inquiries for it from
sources likely to lead to a more extended trade.
Liverpool.
Pitch Pine is much firmer, recent sales of 3J ft.
average having been made at ahout 52s. 6i1. c. i f..
but this cannot be repeated, hellers holding foran
advance in cons^qne'ce of the scarcity of vessels and
the increase in freights.

Market firm.
METALS—CoppKR.—Ingot retains the same general
support tbat bas so long stimulated and held the mar¬
ket up, and appearances generally are firm. Iudeed,
while tbe speculative el ment bas practically done
about all the business for some time, it now looks as
though actual consumers would bave to come in soon,
and tbis, it Is believed, will still further enhance
values. The fire in the leading mine at the West is
stilt burning. As we close. It Is reported that liberal
exports are ab ut taking place, including considerable
stock bouKht by tbe speculative clique. We quote
Lake at a*'Out l-J^'g^ll^o.. but somewhat nominally.
Manufaciured Copper continues to move somewbeit
slowly, but is very firm fn tone at t he Jate

met with the demand hoped, and was iudeed quite
dull at times, as no abatement in the lay dowu cost
could be obtained, however, and having only light
supplies to cirry, holders remainea firm at lull
former valuation. V^ e quote at $l9.5i @2.'.50 p'r

American Pig has sola with more or lesa freedom

however, the itdicafions are that bel'ers conceded

NAILS.—Tbe market has been dull and without
much change in character. At the present peri- d
huyers invest in only juvt so mu' h stock as they need
except In a few ca-!es when invoc^'sare dated after
the first of ib^ \e^r, and tbey find offerings fully
equal to tb-i call with owners accep'ing ab ut f rmer
rates. Tbere is said to be a raiher stronger tendency,
but it develop- elovvly. We quoteat $2 i.-l@i.c5 per

PAINTS, OILS, ETC.—There was only a light, un¬
certain deal this week, and ordinary trade want-
formed the basis upon wbich about all the business
took place. N ithing better was expected, however,
and liOiders generally are content to carry s'Ocks
with full confidence in due and s iiisfactory revival of
