was an election in obedience to the con

given two decisions, plainly agreeing with
the above, but his letter to John 'Melia's

Second, That the .riumher',of votes cast,

The Oil lrade.
~.,
rdIITORS GAZETTE:-The almost super 7
human elf its lately put forth by the Bulls
he o* market, have at last expended
it for e, and the results, if not fully up
thei expectations, are at' least of suf.-.
Lent interest to the trade that a review of
em nay not be uninteresting.
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 of relined oil. - Nowwe can un
derstand the cause of the present break
doWn in prices; and well informed dealers,
those best informed and unbiased in their
judgments, look for crude oil to be dull in
this market before sixty days at 7% to :8
cents per gallon, and relined in Philadel
phia at 25 cents or less. This must be the
necessary consequence from such tremend
ous in fl ation in prices, when the facts bear
