The walk-in small trade doesn't much effect scrap prices--they're driven
by the overall large demand.  The local dealers are resellers, too, so
they're driven by market demand--when world demand is down, so is scrap.

The local guy here is and has been stockpiling for the last 6-8 months
because prices are down.
