var margin_left = circle.css('margin-left').toLowerCase();
circles_container.css('margin-left', -margin_left + 'px');

Much thx for help.

Try this - 

var marginLeftVal = circle.css('marginLeft');
marginLeftVal = parseInt(marginLeftVal)*-1;
circles_container.css({
            marginLeft: marginLeftVal 
});

YOu could also start using the JSizes library.

Found on this page: http://www.bramstein.com/projects/jsizes/

Allows you to easily retrieve or set a property of margin, padding, or other attributes.

I would say this should be more accurate:

var margin_left = circle.css('margin-left');
circles_container.css({marginLeft: '-'+margin_left});
