FINANCE AND TRADE
OFFICE OF THE PITT6HLTEGH GAZETTE; /
SATURDAY, March 28, 1868.
For gold there was a considerable de
mand to 7 day from short sellers, and quota . -
tions advanced from' 1373 g 41 Thursday to
138% liid to-thy. The- decline from 139%
to 138% was due to the sales by the Goverri
ment, amounting inalltoabout two million
dollars.
Government, bonds opened a little firm
lait on• account of the unusual !
, stringency'.
in the money market; quotations woe
rather lower towards the close. The charges
for cotracts in bonds amonnted to'-,e per
cent. per day.` The future market value of
government bonds is a matter.that gives
rise to varions arguments equally strong in
favor of a rise, as well supported by the
opinions of the most - eminent financiers
pointing to an unavoidable decline, all,
however, based on a paper expansion. So
long as trade languishes, and capital is
Withhe:d from enterprises; bonds that are
so readily convertible into - money - Inust
command a high price in the market. But
should the Government determine on a
fixed financial policy, collect sufficient rev
enue to defray the current expenses of the
Governmeht and interest 'On.the: national:
debt with a show of ! any surplus that may
ultimatelyTeduce the national debt; then
capital would be used in commercial pur
suits, and bonds will be less, desirable.
The market Value of bonds then depends
onr relations with foreign nations, and the
amount of interest they yield; even-if the
rate of interest is not reduced by the time
we arrive :4 specie payments, government
securities would not yield more than five
per cent. on the capital invested, whilst any
businegs, well conducted, will yield from
1p to 15 per cent.
Stocks were tirmer'for the leading roads,
and even the fancies have improved, but
the local money market is as stringent as
ever it was, even in 1857.

—The new five-twenties of 1868 are`soon
to be ready for delivery to convertors of
seven-thirties, arid we hear that they will
not be obtainable except by way Of 'conver
sion. We look forward with satisfaction to
the day when all these perplexing varieties
of United States bonds will give place to
ono uniform consolidated loan. The ten
dency is steadily towards such a change in
the form of the national liabilities,.andit
is now only a question of time When
this long desired result shall-:be reached.
To-day the closing- quotations of our United
States bond market regularly embraces the
prices of least a dozen different kinds of se
surities, and these are only l a portiob of the
existing varieties of federal. promises to
pay. The, motley crowd was the product
of days; of financial distress, and this is the
only apology that can be offered for their
existence.—Phila. Press. = • '

at the same time in gold the principal and

PITTSBURGH PETROLEUM MARKET.
OFIFCE OF THE PITTSBURGH GAZETTE, I
SATuntuy, Alarch 28, 1888.-
'CRUDE—The Crude market. has been
more alive this week than during any
- other pteceeding week this season. the
sales, in the aggregate, reaching about
fifty thousand barrels, and, coMparecl with
,
the early part of the Week, there has Nen
a slight advance, say 'from one quarter to
one halls cent per gallon. We now quote
~
spot oil at 83{,c, and for one or two days,
there was a regular stand oft; buyers offer
ing 83-( 2 c, and holders asking = 83.;e, but an
advance in Antwerp gave sellers the victory,
and, as a consequence, buyers had to come
up to the scratch. To-day we can report a
sale of 800 bbls, on spot, at 8 : 1-.;c; 1000, each
for April, May and June at Oe; also, 1000
bbls taken at the wells on the river bank,
near Franklin, at $3 per barrel. As will be
seen, the sales - were very magre to-day,
4,800 bbls, against 12„000 ye terdar this
i
was owing in part, at least, to the feta that
the advices from the: ast were Unfavorable,
causing buyers to hold off a little, though,
as yet, there is no disposition on the part of
holders to make concessions in. order to,;
effect sales. ..A. telegram from ‘Oll City re
ports the market dull, with no buyers at
$3,10 at that point, and $2,80 on the creek.
REFINED—There has been but compar
atively little done in bonded oil duringg the
past week, the reported sales only reaching
- about fourteen thousand barrels, in the ag
gregate. It is true, prices are a shade
,higher than they were last week, but there
no more margin to the refiner now than
there was -then, as Crude also is higher;
and this being the case, refiners t as.a gene
ral seem disposed to hold back_in anticipa
tion of a stronger market, and better prices.
March was quoted to-clay at 24,( 4 c, against
sales yesterday at 25 1 4 c, showing a percep
-tible decline. In the later months, the
change is not so marked,.though the de
mand was less active, and . an "offish" feel
ing seemed to prevail.. April may be quo
ted at 25 1 ,,1;e; May at 2;e; June at 2634 c,
,and
July at 27, to 2734 c.
