September 34, 1887 The Record and Guide. 120.5 question unprofitable. Yrf. the lower pricea are here, and the problem is unsolved. The onlv improvement in rhe market is in the feel¬ ing and ihe reailiness with which the smnll a nount that ha^ been nffereri is taken up. The se'ling Dric^ of lumber is firmer, but n-it higher ihan it has been. Common iuch is in sharoest deuiaud, although the local trade is t^kinH- piece stuff a>- npi ly as it comes along, and everything eN*' shipped fi"ds a buver Fomewher.'. The price of piecft stuff i-i Sl'l for short. The'e have been s>iles reported lowyr, down to $'.» 75 evnn, but they are not representative sa'es. and should not l>equoted .a? such. A carg^ all short and that run (JO per cent to ^s6 ia a sample of the sort that go at 1-8S than $10. Common inch lumber is bring¬ ing about what it has for several weeks, the range for No. 2 stock being from $12 to $13. Referring to Chicago yard market, the Northwestern Lumberman says: The condirion in respect to prices has not greatly changed since last week. Pi^-ce stuff is held with rather more strength than a short time ago. The bottom was reached at $ 2 for short common stuff, and about S'l for No. 2. The current tendency is toward a stronger holding. One yard, at least, is not selling for less than $U.50. unless a large percentage of ■■?x6 nr^x'O is in th-* bill. Considerable 2x1 and 2i 12 is being billed out of the same yard at $13. _ A* a general thing, however, short piece stuff is selling at an average of $12. but higher p ices may b« Inoked for later on. Tlie dealers are becoming satisfied that the stock of dimension in the yards is rather below what was in oile last j'ear, and they realize that more than the usual amount will be called for to supply the lack on the middle river and at the North Consumption in the city and suburbs is also heavy, and will be during the fall and early winter. There Is no reason why the market for bulk stocks should be any lower than it is now, and probably it will be higher, since the late advance of lake freight ra^es will tend to that result. Any elauehter of the value of piece stuff during the remainder of the season will look like sheer business idiocy, and the majority of deal¬ ers are viewing the matter in that light. A box manufacturer repor's that he can buy No. 3 boards for his purpose at $11.75, in large quantity, whereas in the summer he had to paySPi.-'i'V Thin he takes as an evidence th it t*^e large holders, of whom he buys, weakered on the prices of coarse stock about the »ime of the late sag on the cargo market. He aduiite, however, that if ■ e were buying in small jatrs he would have to pav $12 to $12.fO for No. 2 boards. Mill culls sell for $9 to $d.tQ out of yard. GREAT BRITAIN. The Timber Trades Jowiial as follows: LONDOK. American Black Walnut.—This market has beon rather quiet, but undoubtedly firm; for large-sized, well-grown logs there is an improved inquiry, but It Is otherwise with the ^mall and poor descriptions, a^ these are difficult of sale, except at low prices. Lum¬ ber is still selling pretty freely. American Whitewood.—There is little that is new in this; a fair, though uot large, trade is doing, but as a rule, manufacturers are ouly buying to meet present requirements. Of speculation there seems to be very little. Prices are unchanged. j^merican Satin Walnut senms to be in favor, and, if all we hear of it is irue, it is likely to be largely consumed, especially in the manufacture of bedroom furniture, for which it is considered to be very suitable. Some rather considerable sales have been made in this lately. firj\.snow. A parcel of 44 logs U. S. black walnut ff rom Balti¬ more), containing 1.3i8 cubic feet. 19J.4 In, average square, sold at'^s. 3d to 6s., averaging 4s. 6d. Another parcel of 7.1 logs walnut, from Baltimore, just landed, about 16% in. average square, aold at 3s. to 53. Id., averaging about 3s. lid. METALS.—Copper—Ingot has found a slow and generally easier market. The subjugation of tbe fire at Calumet and Hecla mine ard the quite general re¬ sumption of work seems to have checked ail further speculative ventures, and with the consumptive de¬ mand stow holders labor under mr re or less disad¬ vantage. Rates at present show some irregularity, but are quoted at about ^0%(7t,10y^c. for Lake down to about h 0. for other brands Manufactured Copper has been fairly ac'ive and generallv held with much steadiness at ab'^ut t he f orui' r run of values for regular assoriments.

IRON—Sootch Pig meets with somewhat slow and nneeriain sale, and the gen¬ eral market Is on the while rather weak. Offerings are notexoesfive. but tl e'e ia plenty of stock for all outlets, and ouly small lot-i from store command out¬ side flgu'CH. We quote at $20 OO^.w'2.50 ier ton, ac¬ cording to brand, size tf invoice. *-tc. American Pig meets with only an average trade demand, and the marke*" throughout is lacking in features of special interest. The high grade foundry irons are scarce and preJty well sustained, but all oth*^r qualifies in¬ clined to some weakness on price. We quote at $20..50 ©21 soper tou for No. 1 X foundry; $l{).iiO@20 oofor >Jo. 2 X do., do,; and $17.'ii){ip'il8.00 for Gray Forge. Old material show a fairly steady tone for scrap, but *-n old rails there is a great deal of irregu¬ larity, and it appears difficult for buvers and sellers to come tn^elher tuitil after very protracted negotiation. We quote nt $.'2,5'i(gt.'3 TjO for old railn; $21.00cgt22.Ol) for No. 1 wrouahl scrap; $2i.50@i22.5i) for crop ends, and $i0.on(f/j2i).50 for car wheels.

Sh et Zinc moderately active and generally quoted at about ^@*^c., according to brand, size of invoice, etc. NAILS.-It seems to be a naturally irregular mar¬ ket. Manufacturers endeavor to gauge the output and control the supply so as to keep control, but generally find plans neutralized by offerings from some of the most unexpected quarters and at a little varia¬ tion from regular rates. On the whole, however, the consumption and export together take out a pretty food annount, and the present rates stand at about ■J.0i'(gi2 10 per keg for lOd. to 6Ud., according to size of invoice. PAINTS AND OILS —The market does not vary to any extent in general features and there is little new since our last. A good general demand prevails for all standard good^, with an increasins tendency if anything, and the advantage undoubtedly tends in sellers' favor, though uot to such an exteut as tostim- ulate values to an increa*:ed level. Available supplies ali^o appear ample. Linseed Oil meets average de¬ mand and is held steadily at 41(9i4--'c. for V^ esteru. and 43(gj13^c. for City. Spirits Turpentine selling mostly in small lots and without quotable changes in value. We quote at 32j^@i3J^c. per gallon, according to size of invoice. TAR AND PITCH.—About the usual demand, with fair offerings against it and steady rates ruling for parcels in merchantable condition. We quote Pitch at $1 35@1 50 per bbl ; Tar at $-3.00@2.25, ac¬ cording to quantity, quality and delivery. For Tables of Building Material prices see pages III., VII, VIII. and is. SALES OF TOE WEEK.
