'FINANCE AND TRADE,
OFFICE OF THE PITTSBURGH GAZETTE,
WEDNTsSDAY, 'March 18, 1868! '
Gold opened dull 138%, advaiaced to
138%, declined to - 138%, but closed strong
at 138%. Exchange hrawn against cotton'
bills is still pressed on . the market to rea
lize on the ; gold, and have :the use of the
eurreecy, for the time proceeding May next,
as tight money market is anticipated
when money mnay command from S to 9 per
cent. and commission on call. With the rise
and - firmness in the cotton market in Eng
land, the market will be well supplied with
exchange; and the probability exist§ that
without. further exciting and disturbing po
litical elements, gold will touch the point
predicted several weeks ago. Neverthe
less, for commercial reasons, based on the
balanee of trade theory, an advance in- gold
is more than probable, considering the
financial and political condition of Europe.
although an advance in gold above 140 at
the present time would be very disastrods
to the whole country, especially the middle
classes and retail trades -people. The re
dundancy of paper money has created such
a desire for. the possession of articles of lux.
ury, that - it is difficult to bring people back
to the use of .;; the home-made and to econ
-roniy, and es long as there Ls'a dollar left to
spend as before; it. will be done, to the ben
efit of the-impeder.' and foreign manufac
turer, and the country drained of either
the metalic 'currency- or the produc
tions •of the soil. With the decline in
gold, a similar and corresponding decline
took plahe in government bonds the rise
in bonds being artificial lower rates would
have followed the great pressure to sell,
the ; question was only how soon would peo
ple; perceive, that it was to their in
terest to sell, when they . are com
pelled to sell, whether they have-the last
frait on, which belongs by right to tho
specitdator, or not No people in the-com
munity, as a class, are so penurious or have
becoine so, as the, holders of the national
secufities-rmen that before the war
; felt'-
conscientious to ask any interest on money
loaned, would now not hesitate to take six
per cud.. in gold, have the government in
sure them a high premium,on their bonds,
and ]part' the - bon& out to some one else
and take the brokers:legal, interest of one
and' A.`ipiartet per Month, •.
' Stocks are panicky changing in value
with the tick of the clock, but the fluctua
tions are violent.
Money is very scarce, and men have I
-(
turned their securities into moray to profit 1
by, the high rates paid for its use by needy
borrowers; 12 per cent. may be called a
reasonable rate for good endorsed paper.
Our grain dealers were considerably
• shocked to-day by the imnouncement that
,1.. .
Messrs. Dean ,:t (Son, well-known grain
brokers in Chicag,o, had suspended. Itis
reported that several Pittsburgh firms suf
fer by the suspension to the amount of
about twenty thonsand dollars, in the ag
gate. Dean 6:: Son bought more grain on
Pittsburgh account, probably, than any
other ° house .in Chicago, and, heretofore
have stood well in this place.

--The New York 2'ribtine pointedly says,
- concerning the proposition to tax public
securities: "The experiment of sustaining
the government by taking its own debts is
~a repetition of the vagabonds policy of liv
ing on the'intere. - st of what he owes. It has
never yet been profitable or respectable."
•
The Chicago Tribune, of Tuesday, says:
There was rather more demand on gram
account to-day, "growing out of the do
-1 liveries on contracts for "the lass half," but
1 in other respects there was nothing new in.
the monetary - situation. The, mercantile
linquiry is•steatilly increasing with the op
preach of spring. Deposits have touched
the maximum, and now show signs of a de
i. crease, and in view of
_the !artfilcial,strin 7
geneyin New York,the local monex mitr
ket is working closer. Borrowers are
treated a little more gingerly, and few can
negotiate more more paper than their ac
counts warrant. The bank rate is steady
at 10 per cent. . I
—Says the Cincinnati Conintereiat, of
Tuesday: Borrowers can not assert very
positive chills upon their bankers continue
to find it 'very hard to get their paper
passed, and when they do round rates are
charged them; but borrowers who have
steady, good deposit lines, manage to effect
their needed negotiations at 10 to 12 per
cent.; for the other class referred to,
12 to
15 per cent. Is the range for _the best of
names. • 'Money - would be easy enough,
doubtless, If it` only had free flow through
thcrehannels of trade, but the absence of a
proper degree of confidence and of the open-,
mg of important new enterprises, still ope
rate to keep money within it narrow, avail
able compass. It is observable that! there
is less capital ' offering' in the street than
there was a ahor ttiMe ago.

CRUDE—The Crude market is quiet .but
.:->
very firm wad holders refuse to sell unless p •
. -
at an advance and to this, buyers as yet, 4
are Unwilling to stibmit. There was not a i, • •
single sale reported, in the absence of which • 4 _
we quote 83‘ to 8% as the ruling:quotations
for spot oil- r ths inside figure offered and g _
the outside quotation asked._ The trade is
in such a peculiar condition, that. there is • . "
but little chance for operators to do any-
thing. Oil is too much inflated at Oil City ,i
for this market, and while holders cannot. 0.
afford to sell at a reduction from the figure 5
above:named, 'refiners .taking the present 0,
prices of refined as a basis, cannot'afford to `, 0 ,J . ,
pay it, and while matters remain in this %.
condition, we do not expect to have man R
sales to record. Oil City telegrams to-day
quote at 83 to 3,25; at these figures, as it .4
will .be seen by any one who is at all eon
versant

REFINED—The market for bonded oil C 4
is decidedly firmer, with more buyers than ,t)
sellers, but as yet there is no - quotabie ad- il
vane in prices. We have hitt a single sale „,,,;'
to record.lsoo bbls---500 each for August„/
September` and October \ at 29c. The latest til
and most reliable quotationa - to-day were 1
as follows: March at 24;6; •April 25, May 'l.,
25y,; June 26 to 2614; July 7to '27;ti; August ii„
27% to 28, and all the year . buyers option, 'I '
at 31. As noted for some time past, sellers. A
are remarkably scarce, at present prices, il
which, is owing to the fact that taking the ' i
price of Crude into consideration, there is a
no margin, and therefoie, they seem deter- 'g
mined to, hold oil' and wait until they can
realize better figures. - Late advices 11 :air
Washington report that there is a fair pros
peet
of havingthe tax on free oil reduced. -
