MARKET REVIEW. HEAL ESTATE MARKET. The market during tho past weolt showed no new feature, and, apart from the regular routine of fore¬ closure sales at tho E.KChunge, but little has been ac¬ complished in tho way of selling. The moat important sale of tho weolt was that of tlio Union Gas Works, con¬ sisting of the buildings and block of land hounded by Second avenue, Harlem River, Ninety-eighth and Nine¬ ty-ninth streets, which was sold to the plalntitVa in the legal action for $200,000. The sale of tho property on tho southeast corner of Broadway and Fortieth street' which brought In tho aggregate only $37,500, was made merely for tho purpose of perfecting title. The partlo" utars relating thereto, with all other sales that hayo boon consummated at the Exchange since our last Issue, will he found annexed.

BUIOK.—In a general way matters remain much tho same on tho market lor North River hards, with possibly a tendency toward somewhat greater steadlncsa. The heated term has retarded work to some extent, but, all things considered, consumption was fair, with indica¬ tions of its continuation. Brick come into use in so many wayti whore either new operations or repairs are goluj? on, that tho call for tliem becomes a greater certainty than any other material. Yet, as we have frequently written, and found our remarks supported by the re- Bixlts, the moment an attempt is made to force huainess sellers lose an advantage, and while tenipurarily sales may be quicker or prices flrmer, tlte reaotjou la a'ure to come and set matters lurtherbftok than betoro, Buyera, in fact, adhere to the hand-to-mouth policy, and tho greater the elfort made to force tl>oni from it the more stispt- oions and oautlouH thoy beoonie, The supplteshave been about equal to all wants, with now ana then a lUtie e-x- cess, tliuugU soiu'coly enough to get beyond control, aud on tblHreeeiveraobtulned their sivsUtadvantagp. Aoev- tain "lanoy" bfaad is quoted at *(! pe? M, hut $8,fi0 is a pretty good prioe to get, and the average top sales do not esoeed $B,S6 for HavoTstraws, For pale brlok there has been a demand guffleient to esbaust the supply aliout as last as offered, and prJeeB stiffened soraewbat, with a great many sales made at 13 per M, This rate at the ploflo, however, le rather estreme, ai moBt wants are ftUed and hnyers withdrawing, Fronts remain raueh the Bftine, Ualtlmorns and PhUadelnhlaB, and tbe olioloe malioB ot Oroton, finding a good Mr market and ooni- mandlag fall former rates, though dealovs Bay there is Btill plenty of room I'or improvement ia the demand. We quote i Pale, per M, $a.as®Oj Harda, toriver, U m,ii\ Haverstraw Bay, |4,60@B.505 treats, Oroton= brewa, $10; darls, %IU red, lia; Philadelphia, |a8@2Tj Baltimore, $31®88. ¥ard priees, delivery Inoluded. |a(i>3 higher on erdlaary, and $8@8 ea ftents. OIlMBNT.=For domestle the demand ia without mueh anlmatiou, aad tbe general poiltloa veld ©f iaterest. I'be wholeaale valuee are atill named at $1.10 and $1.90, roapeetlvely, oa "Oseek" aad here, aad for flrat^elaga ateelt theao llgurea would probably be laalated upoa. Some abadiag, however, haa, it ia thought, taken plaeo ea leading braada la a quiet way, while aakaown and irregular ateck can la many eaaea be Ibuad openly of- feving at a reduutiea. Produotioa moderate, li'er tor' etga deaeriptiona there haa been a ftilrlah demaad and about a ateady market, tbe ratea i'or aame thiie eiwrent aeeaiing to be aeeeptablo to both buyer aad aeller. Sup" pll§8 pleaty (or all wanta, and mere ean be iaereuaed by cable ordera at any time. We hear ot aome l.aoo bbla. Portland, recently, aeld at $a.60®3.76, es veaael aad store. We tiuote, irom pier aad yard aad aeeerding to braad, aa Miowst Portlaad, $8.40@4; Bomaa, $3,50@4! Keene, $7.76@8 i'or coarse, aad $11.76©19 for fine; Mar» tttt's, $7(^7.25 for coatee, and $il@li.26 for flae; La Forge,Portland, |4.lo@4,26i and Lime of Teil, f9.86@3. GtriASS.-=impottera of French window glass ask about former rates, and continue to assume a pretty firm tone, but they are not encouraged by much demand. Buyers, indeed, are extremely Bcaroe, and the distribution is con¬ fined in tbe main to orders by mail. Supplies not very liberal, biit enough for current wants, both in quantity and assortment. We continue to quote at 60 aud 20 @ 60 and 25 ii cent, discount. American is quiet, not only here, but at the works, and the production is re¬ duced somewhat in consequence. About former rates asked, but the position a little nominal. English is dull, both tor sheet and plate, but firmly held and indif¬ ferently offered. HARDWARE.—For all descriptions the present de¬ mand is very moderate, and the marjcet throughout dull and stupid. Stocks are being sorted over and straight¬ ened out, and dealers are inclined to prepare for a fair fall trade. The semi-yearly revision of price lists con¬ tinues, and among recent changes we note the follow ing: The Yale Lock Company name discounts as follows: Yale locks (except prihcin locks), 40 per cent.; prison locks, 20; blank and duplicate keys, 40; ''standard" locks, 40; Leed's gate fixtures, 40; ornamental real bronze goods, 20; postofljce equipments, 10; post olllce lock¬ boxes and drawers, 10; Weston's differential pulleys, 25; extra parts for differential pulleys, 15; Dottoror's patent car locks, 10; "Yale" anodes (lor plating), 10. The Cor¬ rugated Elbow Company have isstted a revised price list, on which they quote Hat crimped elbows discount 15 per cent., and galvanized lender pipe discount 35 per cent. The leading mauufactarers of looks, knobs, etc., have issued their new lists, showing a general roductton in tho lower grades, while the higher grades are about 8 per cent, dearer. Tho discount is 35 per cent. Tho discount on common stamped tinware is now 15 per cent., formerly 10 per cent. Strap and T hinges are re¬ ported firm. About 55 and 5)per cent, ia tho discount. The Douulass Manufacturing Company have issued a re¬ duced price list for Cook's cast steel augers and bits. At a meeting of tho American Copper Rivet Association it was decided that the prices ruling the six months end¬ ing July 1 should be maintained during tlio remainder ot the year. The manufacturers of wood screws are still a little at loggerheads as regards prices, and the general tendency is rather upward. LA.TH.—Up to the closing of our report we have been unable to learn of any important movement this week, and the market is a Homowhat nominal one, with quota¬ tions ranging at $l,4U@l,50, the latter said to be tho asking rate of some receivers. Buyers, liowover, are by no means anxious operators at any cowt, and, witli ru¬ mors that considerable qiiautltiesare en mule, incline to hold bank for inoroaaeu otVorlugs. A oorinin local oom- merolal (?j journal, in making its weekly reluish from the Now York ourrespoudouoo of a Chicago paper, has given currency to the report that a million and a half lath were sold here tor the Liverpool market. We refrained from noticing tbe matter at tho time it first appeared, beoanso we could not verify it, and are still unable to do so through any leading metaber of the tr,\flo who would be most likely to know of it. Iu t'ftot, nfuudy all afl'eot to gonstder such a sale aa absurdity ia viow of the much greater margin, it any at »U esists, on dlreot Bhlnments mm 8t. 7ehH, Tho sale may have been made, but the report of it without partioulars simply indieates aothlag of value to the trade. LIMB,>=The position seems to ho getting Into some¬ what better shape oa Eastern stock, and a quotation is at last aamod, The figure is aot quite so high as pi« dieted, but Bhows aa advanee on late nomlaal quota tloas, and the toae is about steady, Oommon, 85o.' and finlBhingll.as pee bbl., with some lots offering to arrive; hut net many to he iound on the spot. Be- mand fair, and thought likely to prove sulhuieat to es- haaat supplieB for some little time eemlog. 8tato lime seems to bo seaiowhat nasettled still, aad, though tho tendeney is to ereep up somewhat, sales have recently been made at Irregular rales. Dealers are net ollerlag Bteok freely, buteaa iaeroaae the amount wbea waated. We quote aomlnally as follows! Itoeklaad. 860. ?i^ bbl, for oeatmoB, aad $1.98 for llulahlag; North Klver, 06® 70e. 1 bbl. tor eommoa, and $l#l.95 for tlaUhiag. LlJMBER.=Matters do aefc iiaprovo aa yet, aad we ilDd meat dealers reporting a dull market ia a whalessle way for tho week under review. Ispoelally la tho ship piag demaad apokea of as light aad uaaatlafttotery, and exportera aay that their Juaepurohaae about filled their orders ia hand, alneo which they have reoolved no fur¬ ther iBatractlona, aud do aot propeae assamtng the re- apoasibiilty of haadliag aupnltea natll a positive outlet la secured. The teadeaoy of this la to weaken values somewhat oa certain gradea, and, though no actual de- dine can properly be recorded, it ia likely that aellers would shade a trlflo iu order to secure a low mora cus¬ tomers. There is about the usual call on home account, but this meana aimply the taking of odd parcels from time to time, as necessity may arise, and att'ords little re¬ lief. Current arrivals of supplies within easy reach af¬ ford a Buflioiont offering for all wants, aud if required considerable larger quantities would, In all probability, be forthcoming without much of an addition to cost. Eastern spruce seems to be under pretty good manage¬ ment still, so far as the volume of supplies is concerned, and no great surplus of stock is allowed to press upon the market. On the whole, however, there la
