BUILDING MATERIAL MARKET.

BRICKS.—Common Hards have rather lost tone
since our last, and former extreme rates have become
somewhat mo lified, buyers making a gain of about
"35 c. per M. wiih the feeling as we write unsettled
and receivers dissatisfied. It is propable that the
eonsusaption of brick has been about as füll as before,
and indeed some new customers have been on tbe
market, but the amount available aiways appeared
just equal to or a little in excess of the outlet aud no
competition to secure eargoes took place through
which sellera could gain an advantage. A great
many of tbe regulär huj-ere also had supplies "piled
our, and these they feil back upon whenever an
addition to cost was talked of. In view of a consider¬
able amount of building going on in this citj' it is a
matter of some surprise that the sale of brick is not
of sufilcient niagnitude to more elos^ly exhaust the
olTeriiig from first hands. Dealers, however, seem to
attribute the slow movement to the fact that distribu¬
tion is almost exclusivelj' local, and that out of town
points heretofore in the habit of afTording a market
for a great many eargoes, now verj- rarelj- call for
stock of anj- kind. The movement to reduce produc¬
tion has not as yet aeted as a Stimulus upon our mar¬
ket but we still note a hope prevailing that the effect
■will be beneficial later in the seasou. As we write
few "Up Rivers" exceed §4.00 and Haverstraws
show §4.50 for top except fancy brands. Pale Brick
have not been plentj- and though iiiquired after onlj-
moderatelj' a few {»bod eargoes could be phtced aud
would in all probabilitj' command fonner rates or saj-
§2.00®§i2.'25per M. Fronts are in nearly all cases
quoted as ruliug flrmlj' and meeting with a fair aver¬
age demand. The liner grades of pressed brick are
scarce aud it would be difßcult to secure any very
large quantity at the moment.

AVe quote Pale,^ M., §2.00@2.25; Hards. Up-rivers,

CEMENT.—Domestic has had a somewhat irregulär
demand, with probablj- less stock moved of late. Still
the consmnption and shipments have altogether tak¬
en •)Ut a fair amount this season, and there appears to
be an Impression that a very good fall business will be
consumnittted. A''alues eontinues somewhat unsettled,
but the general tendencj' is in buyers favor, and es-

fiecially ou anj-thing like a füll sized order. On Saj'-
or's American Portland the cost is lower, improved
and increased facillties for production, permitting the
nianufacturere to mark dowu their rates, w-ith the new-
figures Standing at §2.50®2.»0, according to quantity.
The demand for this grade and brand of cement has
been very good all the season, and so eontinues, em¬
bracing in addition to the regulär local and suburban
call a great many orders for interior shipment. and also
invoices for export to the AVest Indies. South Amer¬
ica, etc. Indeed the growing popularitj- of the Say-
lor brand is best shown by tbe fact that for the first
six months of this j-ear the sales were four times as
great as during tbe corresponding period of 1877. On
Foreign brands there is someirregidaritj' growing out
of competition, through which the buyer gains many
advantages, j-et on the general ränge we do not great¬
ly alter quotations. Supplies are ample. and have
latelj' reeeived further additions, both of English and
Continental brands.

HARDAA^ARE.—Demand from most quarters eon¬
tinues quite moderate, and somewhat uncertain, with
the general tone of the market rather stupid, but es¬
pecially so in a wholesale^way. Jlauufacturers and
agents, however, are getting Stocks together, and
assortments filled out in anticipation of verj'good fall
trade, while at the same time cost of supplies under-
goes a proper revision. Among the latest annoiuice-
ments, we hear of a Standard list adopted on Brass
Racking Cocks, with 50 per cent. discount, a list known
as the "Ives" Ust has been accepted by most of the
makers of Double Twist Augers and Bits. A great
many manufaetures have agreed to a discount on
Strap and THinges, and Hinge Hasps, of 60 and 10 per
cent. The following has also been issued bv ihe
Wheeling Hinge Companj'.
