Such a. large importation (our correspondent says) it was thought would .prejudi-; cially affect 'the local timber tirade, but > inquiries made, go to shoty;.that ; any. fears on that head are unfounded. A representative of a big 4hnher : nrm-states! that shipments Of tOregoh have been coming. ,yto.v jWelUngton^jfor some: time past via Australia, it being chiefly; used for longv and heavy timbers. It is dearer than kauri -and red pine for ordinary building purposes, and is'notjrequired for thoserpurposes. There is ah: ihaport duty of 2/ per 100/t'on sawn/ timber. Some" "tiintf 'considerable rise took" place 'ire the' v'pifiee 'of pine at Vancouver, and • _to_-drop has taken place since.
