AND TRADE, ili OPFICTE OF THE PITTSBURGH GAMTE, THuIRISA - Y, December 24, 1868. Money remains firm at 7 per cent., gold, on call loans arid a commission, but the regular stock houses of Wall street seem to be well supplied with funds, judging from the firm tone of the stock market. New York Central even advanced; also, Erie and nearly all the Western shares, with Ohio - tit 'Mississippi. Fort Wayne is firm, but the dealings aro light. Cleve land 5t Pittsburgh is neglected at .8334. Reading is unchanged, although a dividend of five per cent. was:declared. The whole force of cliques is now concentrated on all the roads that aro likely to make a direct link in the connection, with the Union and Cential Pacific Railroads. The New York Railroad managers do their utmost in pre venting the Middle and Southern States to get the traffic from and to the west by way of l'hiladelphla, .Baltimore, Nor folk, or any other harbor on the Vir ginia shore. , But, in attempting these monopolies, they have squandered Millions and tens 'of millions, *and have watered nearly all the stock of their roads. Two dull and unprofitable season?, and poor crops here or an abundance abread, knight throw all these companies in bank rupesy, and the smart managers would get out in time leaving to the public their com paratively worthless or depreciated stocks. ecurities. Bonds are iirm•io-day which proves that there must be - some demand for them du ring a season of commercial depression. Gold is a shade lower but firm at 1343. Quotations as received by Ph. R.

AVINGS, rIDEMEI PITTSBURGH PETVOLEUM MARKET There is really but little thatis new or important to be said about the Petroleum Market in ti general way. It is an old - aild'. true:saying that there is always "a calm after a storm," and this applies with con= siderable fciroe to. the oil trade just now. For some weeks previous to the 21st, there Was quite a commotion in oil circles, in view of an expected "corner" on the 21st, and during that time this was the all ab sorbing theme of conversation. As we have repeatedly staled, it WAS most cost. Lively denied that any "corner" was con templated, that the . oil was called for be- Cause it was wanted; while, on the other hand, it la just es strenonsly asserted that a "corner" was the object, and that it was' the intention tff, the "cornerers" to squeeze, the "shorts"--to get the largest "differ. , °noes" prissible. As It is, 'we hear it ru mored that some of the "shorts" did get squeezed, built Was done very gently— did not hurt them very badly. There is no disguising the fact that the movement, if it was intended for a "corner," was a fail ure. .S/n the other hand, If pull was not I Olienmes lockdent, to with the humane vlen shy moll In 'wale.' letter tress, HOWARD AS.

CRUDE The Crude market continuos quiet and very dull, and as we noted in our last re. port, concessions would have to be made in order to effect sales.
