Gold is dull and lower, more on account of the scarcity' of money, than the light de mand. 'Government securities 'cvere_lower in the afternoon, with more :disposition to sell, and but light -deniand for invest- meat. It is, howevei, expected that with the improvement of the money market, a large investment will absorb all that is of fered at ailvanced rates. The stock market' N • firin arid rather higher, but cash sales have pi evented an advance; the large SaTei for'fithire delivery shows the operators ,have, impfidence in higher prices. The money market is as stringent as it possibly can be for the first of April. Railroad bonds; sharps and,bank stocks find but feW buyers, except a few stocks, which sell - above their real value.

If is what is a judgfilent note worth? Hitherto it has been supposed that a confessien of judgment was held good'in law against the property of the party making the confession; but the question is now likely to be tested in the United States Courts. The circumstances of the ease are as follows: Dunlop Bros., of this city, bor rowed some twenty or more thousands of 'dollars from, the first National Bank, of this city, onjudgmont notes,which are now past due. Th? same firm owed Clafiin 'Bros., of New 'York, about $15,000 for goods purchased from time to time. The Clafilins got clamorous for their money, and sent an agent to this city to enforce payment some way. He,.. finding that the bank had a prior claim in the shape of judgment notes, called on the banker and demanded that the latter give_ up all security and 'go in, equal shares with the Chifiln Bros.; and that if the bank would not ,consent to that he (the agent aforesaid) would force Dun lop Bros, into bankruptcy. Of-course, the First National bank refused.to give up its security; but offered. to give the firm. ten months time longer, if Claflin Bros. would do as they tuld offered, give them twelve, months tune. But this proposition was re jected, and the bank.had to enter judgment to protect itself. •As soon as this was done, Claflin Bros. forces the ,firm into bank ruptcy for the purpose"of , forestalling the claims of the First National. Bank. • The question is an important one to ban kers, for if ajudgment note is no better se curity than a merchants due bill, it is high time they knew it. Or if a debtor to a bank can get some friendly creditor to force him into bankruptcy, then there ought to be some differeut triode of lending money than that now in vogue.-Chicago Republican. _ , PITTSBURGH PETROLEUM MARKET. OFIETE OF THE PITTSBURGH GAZETTE, .WEDNESDAY, Aprill, 186 S. . . - - - - CRUDE—The market is devoid of any new characterists worthy of special notice. The demand is only Moderate, which is ow 7 ing to the - unsatisfactory condition' of thci refined market, though the offerings are light, and there is no disposition Mani fested on the part of holders tO make con cessions in order, to effect sales. Spot oil, of which there is none in market, may be quoted • nominally at 83;c, and the same figure Will apply to first water. A line for April, May and June mould , doubtldis bring nc, while all the year, buyer's option, may be quoted at 12c. • Vire can report a sale of 2000 bbls to be delivered on first wa ter at Br,c; 1000 to be delivered during the first ten days of April at 8,70, and.' 1000 13bls' for June at 934 e. 'Oll City telegrams quote at $3 to 53,10. REFINED--There was but a single trans action in bonded oil to-day, 1000 bbla for the first half .:of April, at 25 c. -May is quoted at 26e; June at •,28HC: , and July it 27. The demand seems to be concentrated al most entirely •on the early Months; and notwithstanding there is considerable in. quiry, refiners are still. inclined to hold hacic, giving as a,reason therefor, and it. la a very good - one, that, there is no Margin; and like other men, they ate not disposed SO take the risk when there is no promise of any return. Another thing that tends •to Itepp the market quiet, is the' stringency, in money matters, which deters specula tors, and thil, as a rnatterof course,restricts business: and retards 'operations. - - • ARRIVALS—But two, arrivals reported 183 for Sames Wilkins, and 1500 for 'Fisher & Bro.
