the flrst place are$1.00@1.50perM higher, and, gee" ondly, the attempt to control and regulate the offer¬ ings and neutrah'ze tendencies to suicidal competition has been so successful that eveu on some of the most desirable orders the bidding has shown only ordinai-y fractional differences, and huyere heretofore accus¬ tomed to meeting some pretty sbai-p efforts to secure their trade with attending liberality of tei-nis, uow find the margin between bids very nan-ow, and mauufaci^ urers in rather an indifferent humor. Flooring is prob¬ ably the most uncertian, hut it is said that care will be taken not to flood themarketwith it at any time this season. Carolina Pine has not chauEred in any important particular, the reports generally running" in favorable foi-m. So far as the kiln dried stock is coueei-necl. sellers not only expect to hold all the former local ti'ade, but to expand it somewhat, and are making a gi-eat deal of calculation upou extending the line of custom to other points, and aa the output is practi¬ cally under control, sellers see nothing to prevent the preservation of a healthy, profltable market. Hai-dwoods, in some cases, arc repoi-ted less active; in others an increase of business is claimed, though tbis contradictory form of statemeut is no greater, probably, thau could be fouud at almost anv period, as the trade of the various dealers comes from num¬ erous sources, and is apt to vary in intensity from tune to time. On the geueral average, however, the movement probably is equal to, if not in excess of, last year, aud embraces about an ordinai-y selection. The most pronounced contradictions in the matter of prices are on poplar, yet reliable operators have for some little time insisted that any claims for business at less tban $33.00 for desirable parcels of boards are open t<> the suspicion of concealing some portion of the terms of contract that would show.in reality a cost laid down quite equal fo tbe figure named. The general export trade is keeping up very well and at steady rates. METALS.—Copper—Ingot has been rather slow and uncertain and the market without mauy, if any, really new points. Ifc is asserted that the mining companies are compelled to keep their prices to con¬ sumers afc a very full line in order to protect certain contracts with the syndicate, buta change is expected at no distant day in which the advantage will go largely to thehus-er. Indeed, it is asserted that some of the producers, not seriously involved in speculative deals, are making cohtracts for future delivery with the understanding that prices will be fixed later on at a lower level. For the present about 15@15J^g. for Lake is quoted, Maniifactiu'ed Cojiper is not moving to any extent beyond the ordinary limit';, but remains fairly under control andlqiute steadily held at former rates.

Iron—Scoteh Pig meets mth only a limited sort of demand and most of the supply comes forward on actual ordei-s. As there is practically no accumulation here rates are pretty well sustained on all brands, but occasionally there is a hint of a weakening tendency abroad. We quote at $19.00@21,50, accoramg to brand, delivery, etc. Amer¬ ican Pig has been somewhat hregular in value and movement. Fi'om some sources a very good deraand now and then developed; but as a rule there was an abseuce of anxiety among customers, and outside the favorite brands more or less inclination to shade cost a ti-i9e. The latter more curtailed trade rather than expanded it, as buyers held off in hopes of greater weakness. We quote at S17.00@18.00 per ton for No. 1 X foundry; 816,00®16.50 for No. 2 X do.; and 8l5,00@15.25 for Gray Forge, Old material not par¬ ticularly active. There has been some business, es¬ pecially in old rails, and more or less bidding con¬ tinues, but buyers' ideas of value are too low for any important movement. We quote at about $23.' 0© 23.00 for old rails; S19.ii0@2O.00 for No. 1 wrought scrap; $14,50@16.00 for cast scrap, and S18,00@,18.50 for car wheels. Steel rails have been fairly active since om' last, but the geneial market without much encouragement. Values are a little imcertain, but look tame, as the Western manufacturers recently shaded somewhat in competition with offerings from the East. We quote at $3?,00 per ton at the miUs. aud $28.00@,3e.50 do, at tide water. Manu¬ factured Iron has shown about an average move¬ ment, with nothing new of special interest on the geueral market aud pretty much former rates ruling all around. We quote Common Merchant Bar- ordinai'y sizes, at 1.90®a.l0c. from store, and refined at 2.00@3.30c,; Rods, round and square 2.10@3.30c.; Bands, 3,20®2..30c.; Norivay Nail Rods, 4@5c., and domestic sheet on the basis of 2.75@3,e0c. for common Nos. 10@1G, Other descriptions at corresponding prices, with 1-lOc. less on large lots from cars. Lead — Domestic Pig moves along fairly as wanted by the trade at steady rates, but no lai-ge amounts are required and the speculative element still appears rather passive. We quote at ■i.O-iU@ 3.70c., as to quality. The manufactw-es of lead are quoted; Ear, 5c.; pipe, 6c,; sheet, 6?^c,, less the usual discount to the trade; and tiu-lined pipe, 15c.; block tin pipe, 45c,, on same terms. Tin—Pig not very active on consumptive accouat, and seems to possess uo speculative attractions. Prices vary with the foi-eign market, but the average cost of small lots runs about the same. We quote at about aO!i^®aOJ^c. fori-ouudlotsand21®aii^c, for jobbing parcels. Tin plates bave eome demand from canners, etc., but otherwise are rather slow and supply seems to be very weU in hand and not forced for sale. We quote prices as follows; I, C, Cliarcoal, J^ cross assortment, Melyn gi-ades, $5.45@5.S0, each additional X addgl.SO; I.C.

Spelter meeting with a moderate demand and pnncipaLy from ga!vanizei-s,the consumption by hrass manufact¬ urers not running full. We quote at $4.65@4.B0, according to quality. NAILS.—Business has been fairly active, with rather a gain in volume if anything. Against the out¬ let, however, offerings are ample both in quantity aud assoilmeut, and with material low manufacturers generally seem to think it desirable to accept about foi-mer rates, and on that plane of negotiations they are fairly met by buyers. We quote at Sl.eo®,1.85 for car lots, aud S1.90@3.00 per keg for parcels from stoi-e. PAINTS AND OILS.—Buyers are still found to be pretty closely bound to the idea that it is best to allow the bulk of stock to be carried in first hands and draw thereou as necessity may arise. They ai-e, however, making some very full calls at present, and altogether the business shows as good form as could reasonably be expected and ranges well up to the average for the season. A pretty nice general selec¬ tion is also being made, and with prices sustained for most leading articles there is not much to complain of. Linseed Oil moves somewhat irregularly, hut the market is kept well in hand at 57@57j|c, for Western, and 58®58J;^ for City. Spirits Turpentine has fouud a fau-iy active demand on usual outlet, closing ahouf steady at 46@47c per gallon, according to quantity, delivery, et';. TAR AND PITCH,—The general movement is not very free or extending beyond ordinary hmits, aud as a whole the market lacks new features. Prices rule about steady a0 around. We quote Pitch $1.35®!.50 per hbl.; Tar at S3,IO@,a.20, according to quantity, quality and dehvery. For tables of Buildiug Material prices.seepagesxvi., svin,;xis. and xx. SALES OF THE WEEK.
