BUILDING MATERIAL MARKET.
BRICKS.—Naturally the most important feature of
the market for Common Hards is the attetnpt to
reduce the production and the strenKtheniag tend-
ene.vnoted in cur last continues on this influei!ee:
Konie of the trade, and espeeiallj- those who have a
a prettv füll stock on band, speaking very confl-
dently of the fuinre. So far as bu^ine-'s hns been
iransacted the seller has not .secured any positive
addition to the value of Hards and can merely claim
advantage in the form of ability to reulize former rates
and keep a fair amount of stock moving toward con-
sumptiou. Pales, however. appear to have done a lit¬
tle lietter. the previous low ruling rates uttracting
attention and creating demand which has niarte §2.uO
an iuäide rate with many sales 25 csiits higher and
äomo at even bettcr rates. For Fronrs tlit? siiurtiou

CEMENT.- The iuquiry for domestic is somewhat
better on loeal account but there does not appear to
be quite so luuch jfoing out on shippiiig Orders and
the volume of business has searcely increased. Sup-
plies availablc are aniple aud to spare and could read-
ily be prodnced wer« uny outlet oltcred. The usual
irrcgularity is to be obscrved on values. but careful
buyers genendly manage to secure pretty easy terms.
About 80 Cents here is the average inside rate, but
sales have been inade lower. Sonie Eastern orders
have been lllled nt 12 eents per bairrel freight from
Rondout lo Boston. Foreign has been raiher dnll of
late und the tone of the market is u little tarne with
somo brands 10c. uer bbl. lower than a fev,- weefcsago.
Stocks on band ai-e pretty füll and very well assorted
with ownors well inelined to negotiatc on any really
fair or reasonable offer. The Imports at this port for
the six months ending Juue :iUt!i were :i('.(!';5 bbls.
against 27,:1S0 bbls. same tinie in IS:7.

HARDWARE.-From the hands of manufacturers
and Wholesale dealers, the distribution eontinues
quite limited and uucertain and the indications are
not favorable for any immediate increase. Our local
Jobbers, kowever, are doing a ven' fair trade on calls
forcity coasuniption, and shlpments to uearby points
with invoices inade up largely of a good general
assortnient of builders hardware. On prices much
the old line of figures and discounts is retained as yet.
and several changes promised and hinted at "on the
Ist,"' have not been announced. The entire trade still
appear to be ignorant upon the subject of the market
price of Gast Butta. On Copper Rivets and Bnts the
discount ia now^ 25 per cent., a i-eduction on cost.
The new list of the manufacturers of Brass shows a
.reduction of 7^ per cent.

LATH.—Tlie Situation is without much Charge.
The prevailiug demand is not an aetive one by any
means, nor is it general in charactcr, only a few deal¬
ers heilig found willing to negotiate and especially on
large cai-goes. The consmnption is fair. Someofthe
trade think the average, if anytliing. in excess of last
.seasou, but nothing is bought until it is wanted. and
demand eontinues slow and careful. Since our last
there has beeu sales at a shading of about 5c-. per M.
bringing cost down to $1.40 per 31., but supplies not
very plenty and at the close the talk is somewhat-
liriner though wo hear of no bnyer willing to increaj>e
bids.

LI.^E.—There is not much use iu writing this mar¬
ket at present, the Situation undcrgoing no cbaage
worthy of note. Jlanufacturers and receivers havo
flgured out a supply from week t6 week which
appears to just about adjust itself to the wonts of
the market, and the result is a uniform tone on values
