' Gold, which had closed firm on Friday evening at 135 y„ advan , :ed at the close of Saturday - evening to 135%, after having touched 135.. The fear that we will have to ship bullion to cover balances in Eu rope and that the complications that may, arise out of the eastern question makes importers more eager to cover themselves. The great mass of the importers held back their remittances in anticipation of a lower premium on gold, and especially for low rates of sixty-day cotton bills, but- since the premium will not yield, although we are within two weeks of a period when thirty-two millions of gold will be dis bursed by the Government, and produce and cotton should go forward in larger amounts. For the latter there is but one reason to account for the slow movement in our export articles, and this is to be fonud la the fact that planters are no longer dependent on .the fasters, but are able to hold their produce until better prices may be obtained. - Government bonds were dull and lower, with a light bnsiness. Everybody fears a tight money market in January next, - and do not care for carrying anything that is subject to a depressionin value or cost,dear enough to .save over a period of -stfin. gency. . Stocks were dull and lower, except New York 'Central, which is manipulated by a strong clique who had cheap money bor rowed some time ago on favorable terms. Express, stocks are firm and more in de mand. The local money market is easier—from 9 to 10 per cent. Closing quotations as received by Ph. R.

That prices are inflated is scarcely to be doubted. The provision market has,been invaded by outside speculators, who have bought and sold enormous quantities of pork and lard for future delivery, and 'thus forced up prices by the competition —especially within the past few days, when there was a rushto cover shorts on the part of those who saw packing proceeding too slowly to suit their requirements. Then the packers went in to compete for hogs wherewith to meet the demand, and this forced up togs to a price which is enormous in view of the crop. There is no more profit in packing now than when pork was $4 per barrel lower, but it may well be doubted if there is not great loss ahead for some one. , Un less it shall prove that all calculations with regard to the character of the hog ) . crop, were failures, it is impossible that present prices can continue through the season,. and if there should be a heavy decline, it will tell heavily against those who will have to receive at present rates. But the gerieral feeling to-day seemed to bo in fa vor of continuous high prices, 'and the de, sire to invest seemed greater than ever. Is the pork market cornered? It, is more' than probable, and, if so, it is the most gi gantic corner ever known on 'Change. —Closing quotations, received by James T.

HOGS. The; market for Hogs has been quite ac tive during the past week, and prices ruled firm, With an upward tendency.. To-day, with light arrivals, a limited supply and a good demand for shipment, the market was somewhat excited, and an attempt was made, to force an advance of a quarter on prime heavy averages. Some few lots of Tait,' kind were held at 9V„ but 'so far as we could learn, there were none sold above 9c and hot many at that. We give ii4to 9 as the !range for common New York to prime Philadelphia Hogs. Messrs. Holmes, Lafferty & Co. sold some 1,600 head to-day withinl the above quotations. None' of our packers have been buying for several days in consequence of the exceedingly high prices. I • • ' s • PITTSBURGH PETROLEUM MARKET OFFICE arras Pirranulteir GAzErTE, SATRUBDAY. December 19, 1868. 1 S The market, in a general way, has been steady "during the past week, the volume of business having reached about the usual average, and prices have fluctuated but The feeling which prevailed duringlthe early part of the week in regard. to a "corner" has pretty well subsided, and it looks. today as if most of the oil called _ . for would be furnished on Monday. That there may be some few "shorts" Is al together probable, as there generally are on such ;occasions, but as we have already intimated, the short interest is not likely to amount to much.
