S:'33.089 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.

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
