The dullness in the lumber trade in Canatl* is i caused by a diminution of thn dj-mund in Eif^lainl and life United States, ami by its having- almost ceased in the West Indies and South America., The Xew England, mar ket is now'- tola considerable-ex tent supplied with'-snjx'rior lumber from the' forests of Michigan and Wi.sconsin. Tliu duty imposed upon the Canadian lumber"entering the.iUnited-States, has enabled th'.- Michigan lumbermen: to compete in the Eastern market. But the prin cipal cause, of the depression in the trade, is the diminished -con sumption in every country where Canadian lunjber has hitherto found a market. The quantity of lumber now being iiiaHufactnietl in Canada will not exceed "'!) per cent of what was produced in .187:.' ?o."; The report goes; ou j to-say that the mercantile -chrsses, ias shoyvn by the returns furnished tjy .otlicial as- .-iigtHis, have'felt" much liiure 'he i.leprcs.sioii than any others. The system of. credit has been a fruit ful source of mischief to mercantile men. Theexcess' in value of im ports over exports seemsindicative of inflation.- jAs it is easy to. .ob tain credit in England, many small wholesale dealers boldly enter that }uy. The result is t,s outgroT the abili ties of the country to purchase, a'ntl til io inevitable consequences aie failure and ruin. .The commercial t recklessness itilargely indulged in bcftiiise tbo merchants know! that if anything is .gained it flow's into their own ; pockets, while, if there arc losses, they ' nro sustained by ;their crctlitqft, who were foolish eiioiigh to sell fopei-s'ens who had little or no capital. They condemn Ft-oteetion pn the ground that, when certain interests are protected sor'as to become money making ones, ^capital is diverted, from'.its natural channels into .-special and sjwculatlvo ones.

They believe the manufacturers of agricultural implements, are iii a good condition and thrifty j and so with those of knitted woollen goods. Tliey report that, as the Canadian manufacturers of cloth and tweeds can produce tlieiri as cheaply as: the. .
