FINANCE AND TRADE , OFFICE OF THE PITTSBURGH GAZETTE, MONDAY, December 14; 1868. The gold market remained firm to day at 135%; the lowest point reached was 135;‘, and the highest 135%. The demand for cash gold Is 7 ery light from the fact that the government will pay out in January next about! thirty-two million dollars which with the ,present coin in the bank at New York, will likely swell the amount there to over thirty millions which would far ,. exceed the gold held - by, old state banks; their average being twenty-three millions, t and but one had reached thirty four millions. This, together with the in creased shipments of cotton from now to March next, will keep the market well supplied of either exchange or gold, should. there be any need for shipment to cover present importations. In support of ,a lower premium on gold It is argued that the governmen t would anticipate the Jan uary interest in case an attempt would be made to unduly advance the Memium by speculative schemes: It Is the desire of everybody, and particUlarly the govern ment that, whatever the price of gold may be the fluctuations be as light as possible. Government bonds are dull and lower to-day, not so Much for want of money im mediately, but it is feared that there will bean unusual pressure for money on for aboutlie first oTJanuary, when those who wish tospeculate may buy cheap, and dealers in bonds are ‘ not willing to carry large stacks. Railroad shares were firmer to-day, on' an easier money markbut it seems to be only a temporary stay in the downward course of prices. Fort Wayne; Erie, Cleve land and Ohio Mississippi are m all firm,- whilst Western shares are lower. F.l2.ress shares are firmly held during the pressure, for money at the end of the week; it is_evi dent that these stocks are cheap at present prices, and, at that, ought to yield a hand some return sooner or later. In our local' money market, the demand for money is increasing, and the state of the market is reflected at the sales of local se curities, which . It is difficult to sell, except at • concessltlts. Allegheny Valley, bonds 'vere Such in demand a few days Ago at 84 to 85;ibut could not be sold over 823 i, and a rounil lot might not . bring that, when offered. Business seems' to improve in a small way. Closing quotations as received by Ph. R.

SHEEP AND LAMES. r The supply of sheep was again COUIData• tively small this week,. scarcely:Teachbyg two thousand head, and as a consequence the market was firmer and prices higher. Prime to extra fat Sheep sold at from 0,75 to $4;50 per head, and some lots were held at 5 cents per pound. Even "scalawags" were held at an advance and the. scalawag butchers, were growling bitterly—some intimating that another market or so like this one would smash "Butler." There was one eastern buyer in attendance, but be did not buy, the butchers paying more for prime Sheep than he was willing to - give, while scalawags he did not want. M. Humes wholesaled ,143 scalawags at 81,25 per head; McNeese &M'Caslinretailed 400 at 1,25 to 4,50 per bead; J Emmel 200 at 1,25 to 2,50 per. head; Adam Eckert 75 at 1,60 to 3,75 per head; W. Youug 140 at 1,40 to 3,50 per head; Stakely & Bro. 101 at 1,40 . t0 4,00 per head; R. Clarke 162 at 1,45 to 3,50 per head; C. Maggi 133 at 1,00 to 1,25 per head; ; at 2,00 to 4,50 per head; Williams - 126 at 90 to 2,75 per nead; Smith 35 head; PSheitemantle 250 at 1,25 to 2,50 per head; Gamin & Co. 180 .at 1,65. There is a continued steady retail de mand for Hogs, and it would be much larger still, if It was not for the exceeding ly high prices. We quote in a retail way at to 9%, for fair tp prime heavy averages, though they were but few sold above 9 cts. Nicholas Carr retailed 98 st 8 to 8,75; Holmes, Lafferty & CO. 23—held •at 7% _. ; Rabin, Beyers it Greenwald, 300 at 6.t0 0% - f• Emerick & Co. 200 at 8 to 9. • PITTSBURGH PETROLEGMARARICHT: OFFICE .OF TEE PITTS:OTROS GAZETTE, MozinAy, December 14, 1868. It would appear, from information en tirely reliable and trustworthy, that the recent calls were made, not for the purpose of bringing about a "corner," but because the parties who called wanted the oil for shipment. There is no attempt made ttb disguise the fact that there is a combina tion, and a powerful one it is, who, have bought a very large amount of oil, and are still buying, and their reasons for so doing, they claim, are ( very good ones., Accord-. ing to statistics, (deemed to them at least perfectly reliable) the consumption is now and is likely to continue continue consider- ably ahead of the production, and acting on this presumption, this combination expects' oil to be higher in 1869 - than it was in 1863. While it is possible that the basis on which the above calculations are made is correct, it isi-nevertheless, a disputed point, and one which time alone will -demonstrate. It Must be confessed, however, that the calls - , made last week looked, to say the least; ' suspicious, coming, as they did, simul taneously, from so manY different quar ters. The market was not quite so activelo day, sales being comparatively light, while so far as prices are concerned there, is no impOrtant change. Twelve and a. half ents still seems to be the standard price for-spot, all December, or all 1869, sellers option. Buyers option, all 1869, is nominal at 15%-tol6. Sale of 3,500 bbls first eight months of 1869, (40 to 45) sellers option, ,at, 12, 1 c2,000 sellers option, all 1869, at 12;4; and , lo,ooo do same delivery, option and price. `-•. REFINED. The Refined market was again quiet to day, little or nothing done, and no impor tant change in prices. Offers to'sell deliv ered cat, 21st at 31%; and the last'half of December was quoted•at 30 to 3034. Janu ary to June, is nominal at 31;4, and it was rumored that there was a "lige" sold from, A.pril to July, 1,000 each month, at 32%. —Since the above was put in type, we are cognizant of offers to sell spot oil at 30, and, deliverable on the 21st, at 31. - OIL SHIPPED EA ST BY A.
