OFFICE OF THE PITTSBURGH GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, December 1,1868: I Business in financial circles was rather dull to-day; except some small transac tions in Allegheny Valley Railroad bonds, which changed hands from 82 to 83.--a sale is reported at 85 by special agreement. The gold market remained quiet at 135 X, to 135, after having once touched 135. There is more disposition to buy than to sell, and time contracts are limited to pre sent quotations in,small amounts. Those who would feel, to operate for a decline for commercial reasons are afraid to engage lfirgCly on account of the risk, should a further issue of three per cent. notes or certlcates be issued or the Secretary of the Treury's report be considered tmfavor able to an early 'resumption of specie pay ment. If the 'United States Treasury con tinues to sell gold to within a few days of the first of next month, then we may look to loWer prices for gold in January. and it is quite possible that as low a rate as 125 may be ' reached without the aid of any bear 'movement by operators. The ex change market is now Well supplied- with cotton bills, and the decline of Five Twen ties of 1862 being about equal with Euro pean quotations, no apprehensions need be entertained about the shipment of specie to fetch over bonds on contracts. Government bonds are,at stand-still, and there is little ,dispositioi to either buy f or sell largely. Bankers•buy within X, toiX per cent. of board quotations, and - sell. at 3e to 34 per cent. above, which in the average, leaves them but X, per cent. net , profit. There is always, more inquiry for bonds at an advance then there is on a de alining market. , Stocks are dull and lower to-day, except New York Central, which closed 2 per cent. higher than the average sales of the day. Fort Wayne Is_ steady, but all the rest of the list rather weak. Express iharea are improving. Money easier, being less in demand, but high rates are offered for long paper. Busi ness is improving.

There is a very important .problem in the oil business just now; one, which in the flurry of the excitement of the past week or two, has been partially lost sight of, and one which a good many dealers would pay liberally to have solved. We refer to the price of Crude oil during the: next three or four months. It is said that there, are two million, gallons of empty tankage in the oil regions, here and at Cleveland, and, of course, there is a desire on the part of tank owners to fill these tanks between now and spring. Hereto fore, oil has generally ruled low during the winter, and, of course s that is the time selected to put away cheap oil, so:as to be able to take advantage of the market dur ing the spring and summer months, and there is little or no risk in operating in this way. The point with these parties now is, will oil rule as low this 'winter as it did last? this is the, problem to which wo have referred, and it muat.bo acknowledged that it is a hard one to' solve. 'lf we can take the present as a criterion for the future, .the question would have to be answered in the negative. Stocks are generally con ceded to be light, and the production is falling off, though this is to be ekpectect at this season of, the year; nor is it likely to be increased much before spring, as the spirit of development Usually lags during cold weather, and, to follow this atilt fur- tlic:r, the amend is constantly increasing. Notwithstanding the market has been offish for two or throe days, and prices arelow - er, there seems to be an under current that oil is destined to rule higher this winter than it did last, though it by no means fol lows that anything like, present prices will be sustained._ CRIME. The market for Crude is quietand,steady, and while there is but comparatively little doing, prices are pretty well sustained. We can reportl,ooo bbls spot (40 to 46) at 1134; 3,000 for first six months 1869. (sellers option) at 11; 3,000 bbls spot (40 to 46) at 11, which the buyer is to return during the first six montki of next year, at same price; also 4100 paid for the privilege of "put ting" is 2,000 bbls any time in 1869, sellers option, at 10, REP/NED The market opened weak and bearish during the early part•of. the day, Decem ber'being quoted down to 273 i to 28; sub sequently there was a decidedly firmer feeling, with a sale of 500 bbls for the last of December at 29, and 2934 was afterwards bid, without finding takers. For future delivery, there was little or nothing done. OIL SHIPPED EAST FROM DUQUESNE DEPOT. Union Ref. dr:St. Co., 55 do refined to W. P. Logan er, Bro.,Philadelphia. Hutchinson Oil Ref.

' Dullness and stagnation continue to be the order of the day .in business circles, though hopes are still entertainedrthat an improvement is near at hand. The expe rience of the past, however, is calculated to cause a feeling of distrust in 'regard to the future, and as a consequence there is not the same rash disposition manifested to pitch in that there was three months ago. This has been a remarkably hard ,season for speculators, particularly in Grain, many of whom have been forced to "bite the dust" and we are apprehensive, that lin less there is a reaction for the better, and that, too, before long, others will be com pelled to do likewise. We have no doubt but what there is still considerable grain being carried all over the country, bought early in the season at prices that cannot be realized now, and unless prices improve and money becomes easier, the end is not yet. We are in hopes, however that the worst Is passed, and that relief will soon be afforded to those whcitire now iikevery un-' pleasant situation. ; 'APPLE BUTTER—In good supply and dull but unchanged; at 70 to 75 in kegs, . and 80 to 85 in crocks.
