provements at the conclusion of lhe present season.
The present hotel will probably be turned around and
moved back to serve as a wing to the new building
which is to be erected, which will be 350 feet long,
four stories high, and extending back 100 feet. Over
1,600 feet of balconies are to be constructed, and the
total cost will exceed $30,000.

Mr. D. T. Cornell sold at auction on Monday last
seven acres of land on the Creek at Princes Bay,
Staten Island, between Ellsworth's Oyster Packing
House and the Bay, to Israel Butler, for $5,200. The
same broker has sold at private contract a cottage
on Prince street, near Vanderbilt avenue, Stapleton,
for Mrs. Simpson Gordon, to Mrs. Sullivan, for $1,200;
a cottage on Laurel avenue, near Osgood avenue, to
Mrs. Hammond, for $1,500; Fountain cottage on
South Beach, a place rich in reminiscences to many
of the Bulls and Bears of Wall street, to Mr. H
Moquin, for $5,000. The sale of the six acres of
Staten Island realty, formerly owned by Mr. Lanier,
the banker, and more recently by Malcolm Horton,
is reported for $800 per acre, which is said to be the
best price realized for some time in this vicinity.

A bid of $300,00 ) has been refused for the five-story
office building. No. 150 Broadway, 27x110, with a
small L. This property is a portion of the Jumel
estate, and will probably be sold with the rest of
their extensive holding at auction in the autumn.

Plans were filed during the week for another apart¬
ment house, to be built on the Grand Boulevard,
northeast corner of Sixty-first street. It will be 103
and 29 and 95 feet x 88 feet, seven and one-half stories

Hundred and Twenty-ninth and One Hundred and Thir.
tieth streets, 200x110, for $55,000. On the northeast
corner of <.>ne Hundred and Twenty-ninth street and
Madison avenue, there is a commodious frame dwell,
ing. which is now occupied by Father Power, the ex¬
tension of which will probably have to be removed to
make way for the erection of a handsome church,
which the purchasers propose erecting at a cost of
about $70,000.

KllLDING MATEBIAL MiBKET.

BRICKS.—" Nothing new" is about all the informa-
i on obtained from receivers and dealers this week.
Supply is full, but so is the demand, and with the bal¬
ance thus well preserved buyers manage to get about
all the stock they require and sellers experience little
difficulty in finding customers for their offering.
There is a few exceptions on both sides, but the above
is the rule and it has formed a basis upon which prices
stood quite uniform, with no change to note on the
general line of quotations. "Up-rivers," $7.7.5(^8;
Haverstraws, $8.50@8.75 do; and Jerseys, $7.50@&per
M. Pales are also finding a. steady movement and
ret lin a firm position on values at full former rates.
Fronts are scarce and firm on all grades. Of the vari¬
ous descriptions of brick the accumulations are very
small, most dealers merely carrying enough to satisfy
jobbing orders. Among ihe exports to the AVest In¬
dies this week were 100,000 bricks. At the points of
manufacture every thing is quick and the production
shows Utile or no abatement. Someof the manuf ac-
turers, however, were lately compelled to make a
xlig^t advance in the price of ordinary labor, and it is
hinted that another demand will be made upon them,
but as an offset appUcation has been made at Castle
Garden for imported workmen as soon as they arrive.
There is also a complaint from some of the yards over
a scarcity of coal dust for mixing purposes.

GLASS.—Domestic window shows no great amount
of animation on the surfa<'e of the market, but still
there is considerable stock moving out, and with the
accumulation diminishing, a stronger tone is secured.
Foreign goods are selling a little more freely and im¬
porters are encouraged, hut make no effort to advance
cost as yet. Most wholesale business is done on a
basis of about 5i) and 10 and 5 per cent, discount for
French, and 60 and 10 to 60 and 20 for single thick, and
70 and 50 for double thick American.

HARDWARE.—Seasonable goods commence to at¬
tract more attention both as to the number and size
of the orders, and the market develops a compara¬
tively cheerful undertone. Indeed we find most deal¬
ers expressing themselves in a very cheerful and con¬
fident mood, and anticipations of a first-rate faU trade
are generally entertained. No important changes on
price lists are announced, but everything holds firm
and the tendency is upward in some cases. Com¬
plaints are again heard of, a scarcity of some kinds of
stock and especially mechanics' tools for mining and
raUway work, etc., with manufacturers booking orders
some time ahead of production.

LIME.—At the shading on cost noted last week, the
market has ruled quite steady, and the tone appears
to be a little more cheerful. Demand proves fair,
and about all the arrivals find a place as soon as
offered, with room for more, to a moderate extent
State lime doing quite as well as Eastern.

LATH.—Our types became somewhat mixed last
week, and by a transposition of figures quoted $1.57
instead of $1.75 per M. The magnitude of the error
was quite sufficient to prevent anyone at aU posted
from becoming misled, but for the benefit of a few
who failed to discover where the trouble lav, and
those commercial (?) reporters who so regularly steal
from our columns, we make the correction. This week
the market has remained fairly steady, and without
features of much positive interest. The supply was
not very large and foimd a place readily, with $1.75
obtained for anything at all merchantable, the tone at
the close ruling quite firm.





LUMBER.—The situation does not vary greatly
from last week. On most grades of stock the demand
is only fair, and buyers moving with some caution,
while prices tend to ease ofl somewhat from ex¬
tremes, but there is no general downward tendency,
and sellers in all cases refrain from urging the sale of
desirable goods. Current consumption is full, but
supplied by parcels coming in on contract, and, while
dealers want all the stock offering, they have a slight
advantage which is naturally made the most of. The
export trade has been a little unsettled for a week or
two, and. in some instances, it would be necessary to
offer a concession in order to secure the attention of
shippers. Sellers, however, are not much troubled
over the situation, and calculate upon winding the
year up with quite as large a volume of exports as
shown at the opening.

Eastern spruce is in fair stock and there is not much
inclination to make further important additions at
the moment. Demand in consequence is somewhat
slow, and offerings of random cargoes have to be
handled with some care, though not much actual
weakness has thus far been shown on really attrac¬
tive stock. Specials meet with demand for fall deliv¬
ery and manufacturers adhere to full rates on any
outside or ordinary cutting. For an operating basis
about $13@15 per M may now be quoted, and $17 the
average top for specials.

White Pme retains a firm position, and notwith¬
standing the accumulating stocks holders are very
confident. Home wants continue full and not likely
to shrink much, while the prospect for export de¬
mand is considered excellent in every respect. It is
claimed that a great many shipping orders formerly
filled at the eastward must have come here as the
only point at which desirable stock can be reached.
At primary points the "talk" is very firm, and some
of our operators are purchasing at tbe full rates
asked. We quote $17(819 per M for West India ship¬
ping boards; $24.50®26 for South American do.; $16
® 16.50 for box boards; $17®17.50 for do. wide and
sound do.

Yellow Pine has had a few ups and downs of de¬
mand, but as a rule dealers express themselves satis-
fled with the amount of bnsiness doing, and the mar¬
ket shows quite as good, if not better position than
usual for the season. Quite a number of .specifica¬
tions have been accepted on accounts ranging from
100,000 up to 500,000 feet, and at about former rates.
There is some tendency to advance the cost of
freight from one or two points. Randoms are
not much wanted, and would b« difficult to
sell * except at a shading. We quote ran¬
dom cargoes at about $34.00@26.00 per M; or¬
dered i-argoes. $36.00®38.00 do. green fiooring boards.
$34.50(326.50 do; and drj- do do, $37.00@29.00. Cargoes
at the South, $15.00@19.00 per M for rough, and
$20.00®24.00 for dressed.

Hardwoods in good demand for choice seasoned
stock and at full rates, the market ruling quite firm
throughout, though it is intimated that "indi¬
cations " from primary points are a shade
easier in some instances. We quote at whole¬
sale rates by carload about as follows : Walnut; $77
©85 per M; ash, $35®38 do.; oak, $40®45 do., maple.
$30@35; chestnut, 1st and 2d, $30®35; do. do. culls,
$18@20 do.; cherry, $50@55 do.; whitewood, ^ and
% inch, $25@27.50,and do. inch, $a3®35 do.; hickory,
$35@45 do., for Western, and $65®75 for good nearby
stock.

Shingles sell well enough to prevent any great
accumulation of supply, and prices are supported all
around. The stock- is only fair. We quote
Cypress at about $6.00 for saps and $8.50@9 for
hearts; pine shipping stocks, $4 for 18-inch, and
Eastern saw grades at $2.50g4.50 for 16-inch, as
to quality and to quantity. Machine dressed
cedar shingles quoted as follows: For 30-inch,
$1(5®23.25 for A and $28.75®3.3.25 for No. 1; for 24-
Inch, $6..50ai6 for A and $16.7.5(a23 for No. 1; for
20-mch, $5®10.50 for A and $11.25(&11.75 for No. 1.

STATE.
Albany Lumber Market, as reported by the Argiu.

FOR THE WEEK ENDED AUGUST 2, 1881.

The most important movement in the district since
our last report was fully set forth in yesterday's
Argus, in giving the action of the trade on Monday,
in which every house, we b3li.^^ve, participated, ad¬
vancing the quotations of pine lumber, viz., $1 per ."^f.
feet on common, $3 per M. feet on intermediate grades
and $3 per M. feet on uppers and inspected pickings,
and pretty generaUy through the list.   This is no sen
