818 REAL ESTATE EECOED. lies in a suppression of the facts. In the last number I have seen of tha two leading lumber papers, in the editorial remarks one of them is goin^ ' to inquire into the facts," which is certainly an admirable tning to do after having written ahnost eii6ugh to fill a quarto volume on the subject, while the other "tlirows his paper open for the discussion of the subject from aU sides," as if it were not the busmess of these jour¬ nals to know somethmg of the interest they are sup¬ posed to represent. But the truth is that it is not con¬ sidered in the interest of their patrons to give a true statement of the facts, and it would be simply an in¬ sult to the inteUigence of either of the gentlemen editing these papers to imagine that they have not known the facts for a long time, or that they do not knov/ the absurdity of a great deal of the rub'bisli tha,t gets a place in their columns. The question is one of too great moment to be trifled with any longer, for surely it is of importance to know, as near as possible, how long the forests of that portion of Canada and the United States north of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi rivers, whicli now supply nine-tenOis of the sa^vn timber of Tlmer- ica, and two-thirds of that of the whole M'orld, can stand the present enormous drain on their resources, ■V\Tien this question is settled it wU be time enough to take up the important inquiry as to v>'hy people, who have biUs to pay, seU then- property for just the best price they can get; and the stUl more momentous one of the relationship existing between the writer and Mr. James Little, of Montreal. I am. Sir, Your obedient servant, Wiluam Little. NAILS,—The market has been less active. In a few cases certain favorite makes still meet with a very good distribution, but the general movement has fallen" off as compared with the opening of the month. Manufacturers, however asic former rates, aud are endeavoring to work the production down in proportion to the reduced call.

OILS.—The general demand continues about the same, a few odd lots being taken as thej- became necessary to satisfy early wants, but buyers refusing to lay in any very liberal supplies. Holders, how¬ ever, are gi-owiug firmer and more confident and many look for higher rates. We quote: Linseed, about 63@65c,
