S The rapid changes in the gold market to-day from 132.9,; to 133, and back to 132% are good indications that bottom _has about been touched. The purchases are increasing in magnitude by the bu siness community as well as by specula tors who had sold at 136(741303,4. The low rates for gold at, present are also keep ing down the market for bonds, and for eign investors will pause for a while be fore purchasing, when it is almostcer tain that within a short time a reaction must take place. Bonds were dull ''and lower to-day, especially new 1865 s and 10 40s, whilst 1867 s are about ;sg pet) cent. higher. A short interest in these bonds has made them so scarce that -a close corner might be made at any moment if desirable. The public at large are sellers at present, and few bonds are bought at present quotations. The mar: ket is in about the sam condition as be fore the close of July fast, when every body predicted a rise of the new 5-20 s to 115, and on the very day they were ex pected to rise considerably, a sudden panic seized the large operators and they threw their load on the market, which pre6ipitated the whole bond quotations about two per cent., and which a three per cent. call loan market could not re deem. Everybody had been speculat ing on the rise about to take place after General Grant's' accession to the Presi dency, so that it would be a great wonder if the price should pot suddenly collapse for over-speculation and other causes connected with the price of gold and our business relations with Europe. The stock market is dull, lower and weak, with a general decline for the en tire list. Port Wayne, which bad touched 12435, declined to 1231,;; Ohio and Mis sissippi declined % per cent.; Cleveland %; New York Central 1 per cent.; whilst the Michigan Central advanced to 96%, with a strong market. The general opinion is that stocks are far above 'the Inaiket, and any day_ may - bring a heavy decline from the present inflated prices. The value of stocks is affected in the , same proportion as gold bonds are from a decline in gold. Local Stocks are dull with the exception of a few favorite bonds. Allegheny Val ley bonds are firmer, after the stock holders' meeting, and the report of the condition of the road, holders who ask now two per cent. advance, probably will sell for three per cent. less when they find buyers are scarce at the ad vance. Since the sudden rise and decline in • governments, more inquiry is made foi the Pacific bonds, which are • now a fa yorite investment. Ph. R.

Money continues easy; the demand was promptly , met throughout the day at 5E96 per cent. on call on Governments and 6@7 per cent. on stock collateral; prime business paper 768 per cent. Sterling quiet at 9@9%,e for prime bank- err; few commercial bills offering. Gold opened at 132%, advanced to 132 N, fell to 132 1 .; On the passage of Schenck's bill in the House declaring. bonds pay able in gold, but revived to 1324.;0132% at the. close. The Customs rleceipts yesterday were 5646,000, and today *915,0 00, which indicates importers are preparing for a large business. Governments opened steady, though at . a decline on yesterday's highest prices, the immediate cause of the decline being a report, that the Senate Finance Com- the mittee will probably not report Hooper bill prohibiting the further issue of'gold bearing bonds. In the afternoon, however, the passage. of Schenck's-bill _ occasioned a perfect rush to buy, and under great excitement and activity the market advanced •f ; per tent.

Bs, 65. In Railway stocks there was a large business doing during the morning, and the market was strong and buoyant un til after the regular board, when there was a reaction of ?;@1 per cent. from the extreme advance. The particular fea tures were Fort Wayne, which rose to 125, and Michigan Southern, which touched 97%, under the amicable set tlement of the differences between the iormer and Erie corporation and the heavy purchases of Michigan Southern by the Vanderbilt interest. No change is however expected in its present direction. An announcement is made that the Directors of the Cleveland it Pittsburgh road have come to amicable relations with the Erie road, and that Mr. McCul lough will continue as President while Jay Gould will be Treasurer. Miscella neous shares are steady. Pacific Mall otherwise strong and iidvancing. Ex press shares are lower in consequence of . renewed litigation between themselves, • and report says that the Erie and Central Railway threaten to ex elude them from their.. road. .The United States fell fully 10 per cent. and • the others heavily, but not so much. In the afternoon the railway market was stronger, with a gener recoverfrom the lowest point. New al 'York Central, Wabash and Fort Wayne were the strongest shares and Toledo-the weakest, selling down to 105; from which it re acted before the close. The market closed firm. Express stocks are lower; miscel laneous shares firm. Pacific Mail ranged between 97W71:100.% and closed at higher price.

OFFICE OF PITTSBURGH GAZETTE, / WEDISEtDAY, Feb. 24, 1869. There seemed to be a stronger -feeling in the 'oil trade to-day, and late in the day there was considerable excitement manifested, but the market was so un settled that there was but little done. The brokers seemed to be 'very busy, fly ing around in all directions, 'soliciting orders to sell and buy, and asking for re fusals, but, as already intimated, the vol ume of business was light, and there seemed to be a great diversity of opin- • ion among operators as to the real state of the market..
