Be inning with the month of March il was 23 to ?,t cents for refined in• Phi delphia, and crude was. worth 7% to Sc p r gallon, and ending with the 10th day of J ly when the same oils were worth .re spe lively 35 cents and 15 cents, an advance of 11 cents per gallon or $4,40 per barrel on refined' and f 2,80 on crude, a period of four menthe, involving an amount of labor and anxiety almost unparalleled, we winded a complete solution for the present condition of the with oil dull at 32% cents for refined and 12% cents for crude, a de cline of one dollar per barrel on each in three days and no buyers at the decline. Ist. What was the real cause of this great advanCe? ' , It was the dull season when no one want ed oil in great quantities to burn It w for the great part in hot weather, Is When t was di ffi cult, dangerous and ne cosaari y involved great leakage to carry large quantities of oil. ' The shipping demand doei not begin un til August. Then, why was this advance?. The only proper solution lies in the.fact that desper ate and reckless dealers and speculators, having been caught with large 'stocks on hand 4a the face of the approaching dull seaso n , by a bold and determined e ff ort haye suceeeded in forcing the prices up— up, until their own rashness has de feated their own ends—by starting up f more derricks,"' leading to • the discovery of more *yells and more oil than has ever before been • prodti ced at one period, or deemed possible bT v the wildest dreamer. A few s facts wi prove this to be no fancy picture: On the first of January last the entire stock then above ground in this country was one 'million barrels. There has been an average daily production since of nine thousand barre ls— making one million, six hundred and twenty thouirand barrels. Total, 2,620,000 barrels of crude; making 1,834,000 barrels of refined. This produc tion has filled all demand, both real and specnlative, leaving us a stock of one mil lion barrels of crude oil on hands. For the next six months we expect to centintie our present production of 12,000 barrels per day—probably increase that: but to reckon it at that figure -gives us a total ieldler the next six months of 2,160,- to /reckon b lsof crude, equal to 1,512,000 barrels of refined. This gives us a total' yield for 1868 of 3,760,000 barrels, which added to our stock on hand January Ist, 1868, and throw the whole into refined,, makes the supply for 1868, 3,332,000 barrels. Now for a few figures on the estimate for the con sumption of 1868. Last year there was consumed throughout the world, in round figures, say 2,000,000 barrels. In regard to the prehablb increase in this year's wants ever last, the item of naptha must ne noticed. Previous to 'this year this product was used only to a very limit ed extent as an article for illumination, but owing to the improirements in the lamps for its use, it is fast growing in favor,and now is being shipped and hsed very ten sively as a light. This fact will tend to re duce the ratio of increase in'the demand for relinea oil in Europe as well as in this country. Another very important item must not be Overlooked, which is: that last year's shipment must not be taken as a proof of the amount needed for consumption, for of the qentity exported a large portion re main d on hand on the Ist of January, 186 s; a mu h larger stock than there was ou hand t the corresponding period the year i t bet& , and reckoned at half a million of barrels. Now, then, this year's shipments, up to this time, exceed last year's shipments up to the same time 325.000 barrels; or a total export up to this time of over one million barrels, already. gone, whilst the total ship ment for the whole of last year was one and alialf millions, and of this quantity one half million being on hand at the end of the 'year, makes our shipments for these first six months of 1368 equal to tho entire con sumption in Europe, etc., for the entire year 1867. . . What is to be done with the twelve thou sand barrels per day now being produced with a good prospect of even that amount being increased—with our stocks now— fully one million ba,rrels? It is argued by, some that the natural in crease in consumption will use. up this larco excess in production; but I have shown Ist, that Naptha entering into com petition as • a 'light, will have its effect to retard the growth in the consumption of oil, proper; and, 2J, that we have al ready shipped so far this year enough oil to supply every -lamp that burned last year. So we have then as it supply for the bal ance of this year as follows: . - .. , • . _ • Barrels.

This must be the necessary consequence from such tremend ous in fl ation in prices, when the facts bear ing on the trade shall have become appa rent to the army of speculators, with have recently Wen induced to buy oil, 'by the representations of the Bulls, the latter to a large extent being the unknown sellers of the oil.
