METALS —Copper—Ingot since our last report has
had an active and ac times excited market.   A great
deal of the demand was speculative, stimulated by
alleged fears of scarcity consequent upon the burning
of shafts, etc., at one of the principal Lake Superior
mines, but at a meeting of the company the reports
mode dissipated alarm and a reactionary feeling fol¬
lowed.    Holders for investment were anxloua to un¬
load and at times made quite a little pressure, and as
actual consumptive demand proved small sellers la¬
bored under considerable disadvantage.   Aa we close
Lake is quoted at about lO^c. and thence the p'-ice
runa down   to  9%(ai0c.   for   other  brands.    Manu¬
factured   Copper  keeps a fair outlet open, and is
as a rule selling on a pretty steady line of valua¬
tion.    We   quote   as   follows :   Sheets,   not  above
30x72 in.. 16 oz and over, 18®—;  do,   14  to 16 oz,
]9(a—; do,   13 to  14  oz,  20®—;   do,   lo  to   12   02,

Segment  and   pattern   eheets.   3c.   above  price   of
pheets required to cut them from.   Cold or hard rolled
copper Ic. per lb. above the foregoing prices.   Copper
bottom. 20®21c. per lb.    Iron—Scotch Pig  seds to
about an average extent, and with no great amount of
stocking coming forw-ard to trouble importers values
are sustained, with steadiness abroad helping to sup¬
port the position.   We quote at $20 50®23.C0 per too,
according to brand, size of invoice, etc.    American
Pie keeps a well-balanced market under the legitimate
influencea of natural aupplv and demand. Buyers find
no effort made to force thero. and sellers are rot
cilled   upon   to  counteract  influences   intended   to
weaken values,   and thus a sort  of  mutual   confi¬
dence   ia   guaranteed   that   keeps busineos   moving
In smooth, healthy nnd satipfactory channels. The best
b'-ands sell close to production.   We quote at $2t.00^
22.00 per ton for No. 1   X foundry; S19 00®20 0() for
No. 2 X do., do : and $17.00®18 OO for Gray Forge.
Old material baa developed  no great amount of ani-
roati'^n, and. indeed, as a whole the market waa pretty
dull on all outlets.   On scrap, matters are little better
than nominal, but for rails holders appear inclined to
aasume a pretty steady position and are offering sup¬
plies with moderation all amund.    We quote at $?3 50
®2,'>00 for old rails: $21.50®22.00 for No 1  wroueht
scrap: $22.00@23 00 for crop ends, and  $30.00®30 50
for car wheels.   Steel railK have be^n a Iltrle unsetrled
and reports of a weaker market gained currency  The
aituatinn.  however, aeema fo be about a<»   follows:
Few. if anj-. "-illsare in a position to deliver on new
contract nntll after November 1st. and for Eastern
and Western pointj* refuse positively to shade for^oer
rates, but in order to meet foreign competition have
modified prfcea for Southern delivery during the last
two months of the year.    We quote at $38 0*@40.f0
per ton for standard sections, according to point of
delivery.   Manufactured Iron has retained a fair aver¬
age demand and a pretty steady   market,   though
occaslonfllly   small   variations   take    p'ace   und**r
excptional    influences.       We    quote   as   follows:
Common   Merchant   Bar.    ordinary   aizea,    at   2.20
®2.30c.   from   store,   and   refined   at    2 40®2.8<ic.;
Rods,  round and  souare.   2.r>o®2 70c.:   Bands,   2.60
®2.70c ; Norway Nail Rods, 5®6c.. and domestic sheet
on the basis pf 2 8'i®2.85c. for common Nos.   10@16.
Other descriptions at corresponding prices, with 1-lOc
less on large lots from cars.   Leao—Dom»»stic Pig has
found    only   a    moderate    and   uncertain    outlet
for  some   little  time   past,   and   the  market  had
a more or less dull tone, with some slflcknes^i on price,
but DO decided changei.    We quote S4.60(gi4.65 as to
quantity.   The manufactures  of lead are steady and
quoted: Bar. 5%@t;c.; pipe, 7c.; aheet. 7%c.. less the
uaiial discount to the trade; and tin-lined pipe, l.^c ;
block tin pipe, 40c.. on same terms.   Tin—Pig goes in
to conaumntlon at about the average rate, but buyers
will not prock up againat tbe future owmg to fear-* of
the '■"peculative e^ment.   Prices have been somewhat
irregular, but close with a fshowing of steadiness.   We
quntft Straits 23®23Mc.; English L and F at 2.3M®
23%c.: Banca, 24®24Mc. on the apots.   Tin Plates are
io small stock with no  importent additinna due, and
holders generally mafntaln a pretty steady tone for al 1
standard oeacriptions. We quote pricesas follows: I i^.
Charcoal, J^ cross assortment. Melvn   grade. $5.15®
6.20.    each   additional   X   add   $1.50;   L    C.    Char¬

Spelter undergoes little or no change, and the marKet
as reported shows few features of interest.   We quote
at %\ .^0^4 6% for Western, according to brand.   Sheet
Z»ncl«nbout steady, and  firqing average outlet at
6J^®7i^c., according to brand, size of invoice, etc,

Aa we go to press the speculative I'ever Is again be
coming somewhat prominent on Ingot Copppr based
on fears of diminished production, and busir«aa has
been done at $10 65 spot up to $tl 5. December de¬
livery. Fig Iron haa aiso been subject to manipula¬
tion wiih the tendency bearish, and cost shaded about
J4c. per lb.

NaILS.—Business has not in all cases ({uUe realized
eipeetations, yet the movement is fair and in suf
flcient promising form to induce quite a cheerful
feeUng among most of the trade. Consumption Is
full on local account, interior wants are increasing
and with th^ supply now as a rule Jcept verv well in
hand, a d-^lniTure from ll'it rates ia much less com¬
mon, and onlv noticeable on rank outside lota of
small size th^t. cannot easily be provided against
We (^uote at $2.10®2.20 per keg, according to size of
invoice.

PAIVTS, OILS, ETC.—Business ia evidently still a
Mttle unsatisfactory to a portion of the trade, and re¬
ports at times show a g^eat deal of latent annoyance.
On a broa'l view of the market, however, theoituatlon
8 1q very good fortift, <iad of all standard .goods thert)





is fair distribution and at full steady rates with a
little upward inclinadon talked of, especially for leads.
Linseed Oil is lower, but in good trade demand and
now steadv at 44@45c. for Western, and 45(S 46c. for
City. Spirits Turpentine has been steadily held, but
In view of gradually increasing supplies buyers stand
off and businesa is dull. We quote at 8;;^t83c. per
gallon, according to size of Invoice.

TAR AND PITCH.—Demand of fair proportion and
showing reasonable force, but nothing of special
interest on the general market at the moment. We
quote Pitch at $1.35®160 per bbl ; Tar at $2.00{5.2 25,
according to quantity, quality and delivery.
