BRICKS.—Common Hards have rather lost tone since our last, and former extreme rates have become somewhat mo lified, buyers making a gain of about "35 c. per M. wiih the feeling as we write unsettled and receivers dissatisfied. It is propable that the eonsusaption of brick has been about as füll as before, and indeed some new customers have been on tbe market, but the amount available aiways appeared just equal to or a little in excess of the outlet aud no competition to secure eargoes took place through which sellera could gain an advantage. A great many of tbe regulär huj-ere also had supplies "piled our, and these they feil back upon whenever an addition to cost was talked of. In view of a consider¬ able amount of building going on in this citj' it is a matter of some surprise that the sale of brick is not of sufilcient niagnitude to more elos^ly exhaust the olTeriiig from first hands. Dealers, however, seem to attribute the slow movement to the fact that distribu¬ tion is almost exclusivelj' local, and that out of town points heretofore in the habit of afTording a market for a great many eargoes, now verj- rarelj- call for stock of anj- kind. The movement to reduce produc¬ tion has not as yet aeted as a Stimulus upon our mar¬ ket but we still note a hope prevailing that the effect ■will be beneficial later in the seasou. As we write few "Up Rivers" exceed §4.00 and Haverstraws show §4.50 for top except fancy brands. Pale Brick have not been plentj- and though iiiquired after onlj- moderatelj' a few {»bod eargoes could be phtced aud would in all probabilitj' command fonner rates or saj- §2.00®§i2.'25per M. Fronts are in nearly all cases quoted as ruliug flrmlj' and meeting with a fair aver¬ age demand. The liner grades of pressed brick are scarce aud it would be difßcult to secure any very large quantity at the moment. AVe quote Pale,^ M., §2.00@2.25; Hards.

Still the consmnption and shipments have altogether tak¬ en •)Ut a fair amount this season, and there appears to be an Impression that a very good fall business will be consumnittted. A''alues eontinues somewhat unsettled, but the general tendencj' is in buyers favor, and es- fiecially ou anj-thing like a füll sized order. On Saj'- or's American Portland the cost is lower, improved and increased facillties for production, permitting the nianufacturere to mark dowu their rates, w-ith the new- figures Standing at §2.50®2.»0, according to quantity. The demand for this grade and brand of cement has been very good all the season, and so eontinues, em¬ bracing in addition to the regulär local and suburban call a great many orders for interior shipment. and also invoices for export to the AVest Indies. South Amer¬ ica, etc. Indeed the growing popularitj- of the Say- lor brand is best shown by tbe fact that for the first six months of this j-ear the sales were four times as great as during tbe corresponding period of 1877. On Foreign brands there is someirregidaritj' growing out of competition, through which the buyer gains many advantages, j-et on the general ränge we do not great¬ ly alter quotations. Supplies are ample. and have latelj' reeeived further additions, both of English and Continental brands. HARDAA^ARE.—Demand from most quarters eon¬ tinues quite moderate, and somewhat uncertain, with the general tone of the market rather stupid, but es¬ pecially so in a wholesale^way. Jlauufacturers and agents, however, are getting Stocks together, and assortments filled out in anticipation of verj'good fall trade, while at the same time cost of supplies under- goes a proper revision. Among the latest annoiuice- ments, we hear of a Standard list adopted on Brass Racking Cocks, with 50 per cent. discount, a list known as the "Ives" Ust has been accepted by most of the makers of Double Twist Augers and Bits. A great many manufaetures have agreed to a discount on Strap and THinges, and Hinge Hasps, of 60 and 10 per cent. The following has also been issued bv ihe Wheeling Hinge Companj'.
