S The gold market has been quiet and dull with a limitedlitesitiesiehe boll party in stocks made an i attempt to bid up the market but failed. Money being more active speculators ale afraid to buy at piles.: ent for higher quotations. It is even as serted that an attempt will be to depress the market belOw what it ranged at the beginning of the month, and operators for a deeline in stocks favor the scheme. Government b(Mds, although a friction' lower early in the day, are firm, and have advanced about 54 per cent. at the close. The investment demand is light and con fined to small parcels, but large speculators keek aloof, the market being too high to leave any margin for a profitable turn, the more so as we may any day except a panic In stocks, which wotild carry down bonds and gold alike. Railroad shares are more dealt in for the clique stocks, especially Cleveland and Fort Wayne, in which the Erie party has the controlling interest, and is likely to run up the stock much higher to suit their favorite scheme of declaring stock divi dends. The balance of the list is dull and somewhat lower. Local stocks are more freely offered at concessions. Money frOm 8 'to 12 per cent 4 with a dull business. - - Quotations as received by Ph. R.

PITTSBURGH PETROLEUM MARKET. OPTICS OP THE PITTBURGH GAZETTE, THURSDAY, January 21 18E9., , Thre are some - very important points connec t ed with the oil business, which it is well not to lose sight of, as on these, to a great exti3iiti hinge The filture Of the Mar ket. Among the most prominent may be noted pmdaction, stoCks, and demand. In regard to production it is•generally conce ded that it is , holding its own remarkably well, is thrrabience of any of those "big strikes" which used to be of so common, oc nurrende;,- and particularly at this season of the year. According 'to the , latest and most reliable advices, the average produc tion of all the wells in the Venango regions is about ten thousand barrels per day, which,, we believe, is fully hp to the pro- duction at the same time in, 1888. And more than this the comparatively , high prices which have prevailed for some time past have resuscitated and stimulated develop ment, so that the number of new wells be ing put, down, it is said, is almost unprece dented in the history of the trade. 'Further thin this; the old,terrltOrY:Will not only be more fully and completely , developed, but the spirit of . speculation will bring new terriMrrinto market; and who inutile - Oat what a'second "Pit Hole," "Siamhtirg," "Pleasantville,'" or "bherry. Rim" - may be. ffitilioVeredi , It lipost4bl4 , lll47Wollo the fametta "blaplePhade," "Sherman" or or "'Grant, * producing their 800 to 1,500 bbls per day, may be tapped. though it must be confessed that we have not had any strikes • . like these for some time. In regard to stocks there is a great diver- - sity of opinion, and while it is said that figures won't Me, we have, seen enough of them on this point to satisfy almost any one that if they won't lie, they at least don't hang together. for instance, it has been stated recently that the stocks in the world, - on the first of 1869, were one million barrels. i . less than at the first of 1868, while, on the , other hand, it has been figured, up that the stock on hand now is fully up to what it I was at this tinie last year; Here is a dis crepancy of a million of barrels, nearly equal to one third of the year's production, and haw be it to be - reconciled? There Is evidently an error here, one of pretty re sPectable dimensions, and the question is, j • who is at fault,' 'and how is it to be ex plained? It has been figured up; one stn- • tistician makes out a deficiency ofa million of barrels, while another brings about quite a different result, We not claim to De sufficiently postecito correct the error, or to explain the why or wherefore, but it does strike us that' a million of barrels of oil short is almpit to big a thing to be passed I ' 1 by quietly, and be accepted as a fact and I this is the view taken of the matter by he trade here generally. N . the same time, we do not wish to be understood as endors ing the statement that tue stocks now are as large as they,, were one year ago; as on the contrail it is generally Conceded, that such is not the.case. The great difiluity in getting at the point in 'question, lies in the fact that there are no full, satisfactory and reliable statistics, by which to determine, with any degree of accuracy, the, stocks on • hand; and while we admit that there are, some places *here the records of receipts and shipments can and have been kept cor rectly, there are 'others, where they have not, so that In order to make out a full statement, the statistician in coMpiling his figures has, in many cases, to estimate or guess at it astbest he can., It is an old say ing that extremes generally meet, and in no case has this been more fully proven than in the wild figuring _that has been done in regard to the, stock Of oil. Now, in regard. to the _ demand, there is • not much diversity opinion, as it is uni versally conceded that it is constantly in creasing, ; The shipments to foreign mar- : kets in 1888 Were 'unprecedented in the his- • tory of-the trade, being nearly double, ave believe,-Whatthey were in 1867;aind if the present can be, taken as a criterion of the future, it is probable that the consumption of oil in 1869r - rill:be much lamer than it was in 1868: New markets are being opened up every year, and, in consegnence, of its cheapness; there is no Other article that : can successfully compete with it. Of : course, if the price becomes too much in flated, so that it will cost 'more than other articles of a kindred use, the-slemand will diminish, and then, as a cmsequence, , prices will go back. And right here comes another very important point, and, that is whether there will-be a corresponding'in crease in theprodintion to keep pace with the increasing demand. While it is prob able that there will be an increased pro- , duction in the spring 'and summer, it is as certain, as anything- cn be that there : will be an increased demand, and this one 1 thing tends very much t stiffen the mar ket andatimulate prices. --- ' All of the operations f the past two months have been made 'with an expects- tion of higher prices this year than last, and the latf months are now worth con- 1 siderably twee than the arlier ones. IsTot- withstanding oil is comps atively fear it is i still cheap, and• at pre.sen prices, there is nothing that can succeasfu ly compete with : it. It may go ,still ,high r,. as likely it 1 vrill,'ltuleas there is a- very Material in creased production. As already intimated, . • it is generally _expected that there will be ".. an increased production In the spine and summer, but it is not believed that the-in- crease in this.particular will come up to the increase in the demand. • —lt was believed ramie time since that the aborts were pretty well I rovered pp and' had quit buying. It no appears, lbor- ever, that such is not the case. The great bulk of the oil sold- within the last few days, it is alleged, haa b4n taker4 - by the rf "shorts." It vrould appear. also that spec ulators were not the °nil parties short, as exporters, too, have been ,rying their hand at it, but with no better at ci i.; , :eas. They sold short some two or three months since for January delivery, and a consequence are obliged to go on the larket sow and buy iu order to fill the; maturing con- l i tracts, and the •diffartnce between what they sold at and What thy will now have .: to buy at, is considerable. Heretofore. ex porters, it was supposed, d not speculate, but did a legitimate business, but they, too, it would seem to have been indulging a lit tie, and thus far. their experience, if re- ports are true, has neither been pleasantt or profitable. - The great trouble with he oshorta" is that they over done it—sold too e i s much of what they did n t have, calcula- tins that the market wo Id re-act in their favor. They placed th elves in such a position, that the “balls" were able to take ..: advantage of them, and t us far they have done it and that, too, pretty effectually. ' There was again a very strong and , ex cited market - to-dayi . nudovbkie compared with yesterday, there 'has been no very marked change in prices, the tendency la still upward. aid buyers are , still found, notwithstanding the steady advance, : The sales reported were as tbllows: 1000 bbls, all year, seller, (40 to 46)... 15140 /000 " next 30 days, seller 17c 2000 " February, seller 17c 1000 " first 4 months, seller 17c _ 2000 " first 6 months, seller 163ic REFINED The market for Refined, also, continues strong and tending upward, with Consider able inquiry, both for present and future delivery.
