1110 The Record and Guide. August 27, 1887 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, 20@21; do, 8to 10 oz, 24®—; do, under 8 oz. 26@—. Sheets longer than 72 inches add le. for 12®14 oz, 2c. for 10(ai3 oz, and 3c. for 8®10 oz. Sheets, not above 36x96 in., 16 oz and over, 18®—; do, 16 to 31 oz, 18® 19; do. 14 tn 16 oz. ao®21; do. 12 to 14 oz, 22®23; do. 10 to 12 oz,26@27; do. 8 to 10 oz, 29®81. Sheets longer than 96 Inchee add le. for under 16 oz. Sheets, not above 48x60. 32 to 64 or 18@19; do. 16to31 oz.28®24; do, 14 to 16 oz, 26®—; do, 12 to 14 oz. 30®—; do, 10 to 12 02, —®—: do, 8 to 10 oz, —®—. Sheetp longer than 72 inches add Ic. for 16 oz and under. All bath tub pheets. per lb., 16 oz. 21c.; 14 oz. 23c.; and 10 oz. 28c. Bolt copper. % inch diameter and over. 18c. Circles, 60 diameter and less, 3c. above price of sheets of same tbickneaa; circles, 60to 84 dodo, 4c. do; circles, 84 do and over. Be. do. 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®2.8o®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^.
