question unprofitable.   Yrf. the lower pricea are here,
and the problem is unsolved.

The onlv improvement in rhe market is in the feel¬
ing and ihe reailiness with which the smnll a nount
that ha^ been nffereri is taken up. The se'ling Dric^
of lumber is firmer, but n-it higher ihan it has been.
Common iuch is in sharoest deuiaud, although the
local trade is t^kinH- piece stuff a>- npi ly as it comes
along, and everything eN*' shipped fi"ds a buver
Fomewher.'. The price of piecft stuff i-i Sl'l for short.
The'e have been s>iles reported lowyr, down to $'.» 75
evnn, but they are not representative sa'es. and should
not l>equoted .a? such. A carg^ all short and that
run (JO per cent to ^s6 ia a sample of the sort that
go at 1-8S than $10. Common inch lumber is bring¬
ing about what it has for several weeks, the
range for No. 2 stock being from $12 to $13.

Referring to Chicago yard market, the Northwestern
Lumberman says:

The condirion in respect to prices has not greatly
changed since last week. Pi^-ce stuff is held with
rather more strength than a short time ago. The
bottom was reached at $ 2 for short common stuff,
and about S'l for No. 2. The current tendency is
toward a stronger holding. One yard, at least, is not
selling for less than $U.50. unless a large percentage
of ■■?x6 nr^x'O is in th-* bill. Considerable 2x1 and 2i
12 is being billed out of the same yard at $13. _ A* a
general thing, however, short piece stuff is selling at
an average of $12. but higher p ices may b« Inoked
for later on. Tlie dealers are becoming satisfied that
the stock of dimension in the yards is rather below
what was in oile last j'ear, and they realize
that more than the usual amount will be called for to
supply the lack on the middle river and at the North
Consumption in the city and suburbs is also heavy, and
will be during the fall and early winter. There Is no
reason why the market for bulk stocks should be any
lower than it is now, and probably it will be higher,
since the late advance of lake freight ra^es will tend
to that result. Any elauehter of the value of piece
stuff during the remainder of the season will look
like sheer business idiocy, and the majority of deal¬
ers are viewing the matter in that light.

A box manufacturer repor's that he can buy No. 3
boards for his purpose at $11.75, in large quantity,
whereas in the summer he had to paySPi.-'i'V Thin
he takes as an evidence th it t*^e large holders, of
whom he buys, weakered on the prices of coarse
stock about the »ime of the late sag on the cargo
market. He aduiite, however, that if ■ e were buying
in small jatrs he would have to pav $12 to $12.fO for
No. 2 boards. Mill culls sell for $9 to $d.tQ out of
yard.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The Timber Trades Jowiial as follows:

LONDOK.

American Black Walnut.—This market has beon
rather quiet, but undoubtedly firm; for large-sized,
well-grown logs there is an improved inquiry, but It Is
otherwise with the ^mall and poor descriptions, a^
these are difficult of sale, except at low prices. Lum¬
ber is still selling pretty freely.

American Whitewood.—There is little that is new in
this; a fair, though uot large, trade is doing, but as a
rule, manufacturers are ouly buying to meet present
requirements. Of speculation there seems to be very
little.   Prices are unchanged.

j^merican Satin Walnut senms to be in favor, and,
if all we hear of it is irue, it is likely to be largely
consumed, especially in the manufacture of bedroom
furniture, for which it is considered to be very suitable.
Some rather considerable sales have been made in
this lately.

firj\.snow.

A parcel of 44 logs U. S. black walnut ff rom Balti¬
more), containing 1.3i8 cubic feet. 19J.4 In, average
square, sold at'^s. 3d  to 6s., averaging 4s. 6d.

Another parcel of 7.1 logs walnut, from Baltimore,
just landed, about 16% in. average square, aold at 3s.
to 53. Id., averaging about 3s. lid.





METALS.—Copper—Ingot has found a slow and
generally easier market. The subjugation of tbe fire
at Calumet and Hecla mine ard the quite general re¬
sumption of work seems to have checked ail further
speculative ventures, and with the consumptive de¬
mand stow holders labor under mr re or less disad¬
vantage. Rates at present show some irregularity,
but are quoted at about ^0%(7t,10y^c. for Lake down to
about h 0. for other brands Manufactured Copper
has been fairly ac'ive and generallv held with much
steadiness at ab'^ut t he f orui' r run of values for regular

with somewhat slow and nneeriain sale, and the gen¬
eral market Is on the while rather weak. Offerings
are notexoesfive. but tl e'e ia plenty of stock for all
outlets, and ouly small lot-i from store command out¬
side flgu'CH. We quote at $20 OO^.w'2.50 ier ton, ac¬
cording to brand, size tf invoice. *-tc. American Pig
meets with only an average trade demand, and the
marke*" throughout is lacking in features of special
interest. The high grade foundry irons are scarce
and preJty well sustained, but all oth*^r qualifies in¬
clined to some weakness on price. We quote at $20..50
©21 soper tou for No. 1 X foundry; $l{).iiO@20 oofor
>Jo. 2 X do., do,; and $17.'ii){ip'il8.00 for Gray Forge.
Old material show a fairly steady tone for
scrap, but *-n old rails there is a great deal of irregu¬
larity, and it appears difficult for buvers and sellers to
come tn^elher tuitil after very protracted negotiation.
We quote nt $.'2,5'i(gt.'3 TjO for old railn; $21.00cgt22.Ol)
for No. 1 wrouahl scrap; $2i.50@i22.5i) for crop ends,
and $i0.on(f/j2i).50 for car wheels. Steel rails con¬
tinue tmder treaty t'j a fair extent, but operators
move slowly, and details of transactions do not come





to the surface promptly. About former rates are
ruling and the current line of quotations maybe
placed at $36 per ton fnr standard section delivery
i>ext year, and $37(7/i38 for near by delivery. M;inu-
factnred iron is repn- ted as shovring th*' usual tra le
dfiuand, with fair gt^neral supplies <t stt ck av.nil-
ahle and abo it a st«-ady market preserved,
though occasionally there is a little cutting
indulued in to hurrv I'egot lotions V^"e quote
as fallows: Common Merchant Har. ordinary ^izfs

Other descriptions at corresponding prices, with l-H'c
less ou large lots from cars. Lead—Dom'-stic Pig
has found a rather quiet sort of demand fro <^ con¬
sumers, and also seems to be more or less neglected by
speculators. This, in cor junction with accuinulatlntr
stocks at primarv poiuts. and reports of con¬
siderable quiet offering of foreign product, has
a softening influence upon the tone, and the
iiiost recent sales are reported at a dec'ine
in price. We quote $1.4i@.4.50 as to quantity.
The manufactures of lead are steady and quoted:
Bar. y^<3i,t.c.; pipe, 7c.; sheet. ',%c.. less the
usual discount to the trade; and tin-lined pipe. 1.5c ;
block tin pipe. 400., on same terms. Tin—Pig ha-
been somewhat unsettled on the spfculaiive line, Ijut
on regular de'*lings for Ifgitimate and natural trade
purposes there was a strong market, small and well
controlled stocks giving holders much ndvautage.
Consumption is considered about up to ibe aver-ige
for the season. We quot" Straits 28M'^'^'^jc; En¬
glish L and F at 2Si.^@iSR^c ; Banca. 2l(f;\2iJ,:jc on
the spot. Tin Plates meet with a p'-etry good gen¬
eral store trade, and a Iittl» irregularity shown on
values now ard then occurs to retain (h« interest of
operators. At present ternes seem to have an easy
tendency, but coke tins and bright charcoals
show quit** decided strength, consequent upon
Hmall supplies. We quote prices as follows: I V.
Charcoal, H cross as'^sorlraent, Melvn grade, $5.20(31,

Spelter without change, business running ahout as
usual and prices holding fairly steady. We quote aC
$l.5O@4 60 for Western, according to brand. Sh et
Zinc moderately active and generally quoted at about
^@*^c., according to brand, size of invoice, etc.

NAILS.-It seems to be a naturally irregular mar¬
ket. Manufacturers endeavor to gauge the output
and control the supply so as to keep control, but
generally find plans neutralized by offerings from some
of the most unexpected quarters and at a little varia¬
tion from regular rates. On the whole, however, the
consumption and export together take out a pretty

food annount, and the present rates stand at about
■J.0i'(gi2 10 per keg for lOd. to 6Ud., according to size
of invoice.

PAINTS AND OILS —The market does not vary to
any extent in general features and there is little new
since our last. A good general demand prevails for
all standard good^, with an increasins tendency if
anything, and the advantage undoubtedly tends in
sellers' favor, though uot to such an exteut as tostim-
ulate values to an increa*:ed level. Available supplies
ali^o appear ample. Linseed Oil meets average de¬
mand and is held steadily at 41(9i4--'c. for V^ esteru. and
43(gj13^c. for City. Spirits Turpentine selling mostly
in small lots and without quotable changes in value.
We quote at 32j^@i3J^c. per gallon, according to size
of invoice.

TAR AND PITCH.—About the usual demand, with
fair offerings against it and steady rates ruling for
parcels in merchantable condition. We quote
Pitch at $1 35@1 50 per bbl ; Tar at $-3.00@2.25, ac¬
cording to quantity, quality and delivery.
