Railroad shares are firm, especially New York Central, which advanced to '132, un der the rumor of a large stock dividend, and lu an attempt to corner the stook, winch waa7largely oversold at the recent advance to 134 N; the rest of the stock list is quiet but firm, and every decline is fol lowed up by a corresponding advaco. In locaf stocks there are more offers to sell than'buyers are willing to accept, and from now to- January some shifting will have to be resorted to iu order to meet ma- Wring obligations. Express shares are firmly held, and a considerable advance is expected after Jan• uary settlements. Quotations as received by Ph. R.

The number of bushels repudiated was abont.loo,ooo, t t he . difference was about $25,000. The people naturally inquire how much these specu lations and attempted. "corners" are at tributable to the abundance and deprecia tion of the' currency, which, through the influence of 'banks, centre in the hands of reckless and unprincipled men, who will not permit even the necessaries of life, breadstuffs and fuel; to . escape their avarice and thirst for gain. —Closing quotations received by James T.

OFFICE OF TRH PITTSBURGH GAZETTE, FRIDAY, December 18,' 1868. There is really but little that is new or impo:tant to be said Yabout the markets in a general way. What we said in regard to. Graft and flour yesterday,'still holds good to-day—the market for both being rather offish, both east and west, with indications of a still further decline. The impression seems to he gaining ground that prices are. not 'likely to go much higher, and, as a cons3quence, holders are not so stiff, and mom inclined to realize. Money is tight, and is likely to continue 83 until after the first of the year, and, as a consequence, col lections are hard to make. AFFIX BUTTERThe demand is more active, though prices are unchanged at 70 • to 75 in kegs, and 80 to 85, in crocks.; , APPLES—Firm ' and in g00d.., demand, and prices Continue to .ten.l upward,,;. We now quote at $3,50 to 14,50 for fair to prime and $5 for choice.' ' BUTTER--Ia in good supply, "but with a brisk demand, prices are Arm and well sustained, 38 to 40c for• good, and 43 to , 45e for prime to choice. BEANS--13,50 to $3,75 per bushel: BUCKWHEAT FLOUR-5 to 534 c. CRANBERRIES—SaIes of prime to , choice Eastern Cultivated at $23 to $25 per barrel.
