FINANCE AND TRADE r Mixon ov Prrizarituax Warms, TUESDAY, February 23, 1869. 5 The gold.market is in an unsettled condition, opening at 132% and declined t0132V, and closed stronger at 1323(,@ 132 r%. Tiler? is a general disposition to cover gold for either short sales or mer chandise sold: In the oversold condition of the market and the uncertainty of the course of our bonds, in Europe, it ,may at any time become necessary to ship gold to' cover our indebzenness abroad,ln which case a rapid rise would be inevit able. The Herald, representing the extreme bear side, readily admits a sudden rise in gold, whilst the World, in the interest of the bull cliques, warns its readers to sell anything they do not possess, especially gold; what the bull clique can do need not be said, when the past three months have shown it re peatedly. In governments there was a dull and and rather lower market; sympathizing with the decline in gold, and an indis position to buy, on the presumption that our Bonds are going to be par•in gold, or better, or in other words, that they will command a premium in Europe which will cover the discount on greenbacks and more. We are now on the eve of the Spring business, which hag suffered already by the decline in gold and more so has the export interest suffered. The merchants need accommodations and and the bankshave not the means to ac commodate them, being overloaded with stocks and securities. It hetionies thus evident that this curtailing power of the banks will revert on there= Sources of private capitalists, who, getting good interest. will - withdraw their deposits from banks and manage their own in vestments, Taking everYthirig Into con sideration, it is quite likely that bonds have nearly regaled their higheit point, and a general detillnkfirpriqs,ibased on gold. at 14634, would hurl - - dotvir stocka and bonds - alike:, , In stooks the Market is ' extremely dull, and heavy in all the Erie connections, while some western roads ire higher, like Fort Wayne, Michigan-Southern; even Cleveland Is firm at ninety; North west and St. Paul shares are all firm; Express shares are quit and lower. The stagnation of business must curtail the ,receipts of these amipardes, whilst their expenses are increased. Through a pro tracted business season people are as anxious to save in freights as In any thing else, and the money packages are coming in more aptgingly; that business is now done by the Postoffice, ands by drafts, being greatly , facilitated through the Naticniia , lianks. In local stocks a dull market• tuts to be reported. The report that the Penna. Central Railroad would issue new stook after April next had frightened a few timid holders, but on second thought they find it rather an adviMbige. The property will be more et:duo:toed in yalue by its through connections, whilst the receipts will be fully equal td a ten per cent. dividend on the entire Sitars Capital Business is extremely dull, as is always the case.wheri the currency value is &a turb94 decline In gold- -.Money scarcer.

PETROLEUM MARKET. OFFICE OF PITBOURGII. GAZETTE, TIJEaDA.T, Feb. 23, 1869. $ This has been imother comparatively quiet day in the oil business, the opera tions in the aggregate being unusually light, and the mar .434 apparently, is dull and offish with `'a , drooping tendency. There seems to 'b an absence.. of that buoyaney which h so long prevailed, . . and the specul e feeling ii - not. so strong as it, has has een, giving conclu sive evidence that the market is weaker, and that there is th e apprehension of a .atill farther decline, and whit is true of this market, is •equally applicable, 10 thoie of Philadfilphia and New 'York buyers, for the trine being, appear =to be scarce everywhere, while, at the same time, it is but proper to remark, that sellers generally, are not, as yet, dis posed to make any important - . conces sion in order to effect sales. As we noted " the other - day, it i s thought that the bull' movement is not dead, only resting a little, and that they still possess vital ity enough to put the mai ket back whenever they ar so disposed. . CRUDE—The market is quiet and a little weak ; but without iniiiortant change. Sale 2,000 bbls till August, seller, at 163.6; - 1,000 same option till July Ist at 1634, and two lots of 500 each on spot at 16%. REFINED—The market was dull and weak to-day, hot a single sale reported, and compared with yesterday prices are a shade lower. February was held at 37 eta; and.we are cognizant of an order having been sent to Philadelphia to sell 500 WWI at that figure,-but it did not go .through. Late in the day soy 'was the best offer that could be obtained,• and March was ,quoted at 36%. Porthe hsta months, there is nothing doing. LUBRICATING OILS.
