Scarcity of Mechanics, Laborers and
Building Materials. The great activity
which at present prevails in ilding ON
the Burnt District, and in erecting houses
in others parts of the City, has caused an
unusual demand for Mechanics, Laborers,
and Building Materials. Masons we up-
derstand. are not to be had at any price,
and laborer's wages are most extravagant,
a shilling, and, in some cases fifteen pence
an hour being demanded Bricks aud 9TH
er materials are selling at very high prices.
Persons at distance would de well to take
advantage of this extraordinary demand as
from present appea, ances it is likely to con-
,nue during the whole of next season.
