OFFICE OF THE \ PITTk3URGH GAZETTE,
SATURDAY . , March 21, 1868. .
Gold opened strong at 138%, but at noon
the market' advanced to 139 X, and . closed
at 139 y; bid, still the demand is light; there
is neither any desire to bay for long ac
count, nor are there any outstanding short
'contracts. It is conceded by all parties,
that between 139 and 1101 a the true value
for gold at present, and unless something .
serious turns up unexpectedly, the market
is more likely so experience a decline than
a further rise.. Quotations for United States
iritiiropii are well maintained, and
at 72 in London , and 752.,1 in Frankfort,
with . gold at 1391/ ‘ , and bonds as they have
rated during the past week, the export de
mand for goldis likely to be checked for
the next two months.
Government bonds have fluctuated e .
.mor
this week than the week previous, but the
extremes were only per cent. from. :the
.highest to the lowest and back again. • the
pressure, however; to sell bonds is greater
prior to April first than it has been during
any other period fcir the last twoyears, ow
ing to the difficulty of procuring loans from
the banks at low interest and the large
payments that have to be made - ,et this
period all over tie Western Statek-espe-
Pedally for purchases of property. On'this
account it is likely that quotations for bonds
will yield a little during the first few days
in April, butafter- settlements are effected,
a demand foi investment will rood advance
quotation 4 beyon4"the present price.
Stocks have been fluctuating to a con-
,
siderable extent during the past week, the
verav, differences inAuotations' have peen
from 5 fo G per of
butcent., at the close the
.-
week the market his gained strength from
'outside parties, by the defeat of the mo
ne4)olists. A present, a perfect mania ex-.
ists for obtaining direct connections with,
the great Pacific routes and getting thel
through business from the great Atlantic
cities to the shores of the Pacific. The mo
nopoly is worth while contending'for, in a
couunercial point of view, but the country
at large has suffered so much py these , mo-.
nopolies of Railroads, Express-companies
and Telegraph lines, that none but the
owners of shares in such..companies can
Nyish for success.
3fortoy.is very tight, and 12 per cent. is
the ruling rate for good paper; long, paper
(pit not be negotiated, and banks have to
reduce their discount line preparatory to
their quarterly statement. Bank stocks
and Railroad bonds 'are - offered at slight
concessions, but few but few buyers are in
° the market. Business is improving, and
after the first of April a good retail tradeis -
looked for. • .

--The Titusville -Herald says: We are
reliably informed:' that an effort is being
made by speculators to have the tax put
on crude oil again. 'rho subject is now tin
der discussion at NVashington, and when it
is rementbered what thflibulty was ex
perienced in effecting the:abrogation of this
tax, our people may well concerned at this
threat of its restoration. A coinmittee
should be at once appointed to represent
the_producing interest; and proceed to
Washington without delay.
—.The New York Tribinte,of Friday, says:
Government, stocks are very firm in view
of the extraordinary course pursued by

Several days acted as - though instructed to
break the market by ,offerfng securities at a

furnishing prtces and giving the tone, of
the market to the press in violation of facts.
The reduction in the balance of the Sub-
Treasury, so widely paraded last night, has
afforded - no substantial relief fromthe fact
that 'it-was Made by - placing.funds to the
credit of disbursing officers, and not put at.
