OFFICE OP PITTSBURGH GAZETTE,
THURSDAY, February 25, 1869.
Large purchases by importers and
speculators have advanced the price of
gold from 132 to 133 1 8 ; but at the close
of the day the demand for bonds to be
shipped to Europe had the effect of
checking the rising tendency, and the
closing quotations settled down at 132.;;
market strong. Some parties are very
sanguine about the future price of gold,
but the' shrewd business men are, a
present, 'among those who cover while
the market is low. The late excitement
in bonds must have overstocked the
markets - of Europe, to such an extent
that a reaction may set in there at any
moment, which would immediately ad
vance gold here and depress bonds cor
respondingly. Little is doing in bonds
here. When the market was declining,
those ready to purchase awaited lower
quotations, and, to-day; when the mar-
ket had suddenly adyaneed, they were
unwilling to . pay the quotations,
and a further advance will bring
out large sellers to realize. Any material
advance will be checked in this way,
until we hear of a change la the market
in favor of Europe, when tranfers will be
made from Europe, and a considerable
decline will ensue. •
Stocks were better to-day, especially
Express shares, American Merchants
Union, which sold a few days ago at
49;5 and 50, soldd, down to 39; but recov 7
ered to 41. The rest of the list was irreg
ular but firm. It is reported that a
clique is formed to advance gold and
stocks, and that the late decline was noth
ing but a snare to entrap weak holders.
The share holders of the Pennsylvania
Railroad looked upon the extension of
the connecting links with the Pacific
Roads with disfavor, and some got
frightened and sold their stocks, which
was rapidly picked up and advanced
again to 544. The proposition of she
Directory to issue 25 per cent: of new
stock at par to the old share solders will
be rather an inducement to buy the
stock than sell it below present quota
tions.
127 Walnut Street.
FINANCE AND TRADE,
For Valley bonds the opinions :ftridi
vided, and some are Ilisposed.,rather to
sell at present prices than to hold flir
any advance, in case new bonds will be
Issued. The 7 3-10 per cent. interest,
howev",* Is an inducement for investors
to buy.
In Insurance stocks; the market, is
dull, but a better demand is shown
for bank stocks declaring dividends In

—The failure of the Fourth National
Bank, Philadelphia, occasions consider
able surprise and commotion in that
city, especially in interested circles. The
Cashier, it is reported, is a defaulter. to
the amount of about 160,000, and noth
ing has been paid by the delinquent
since the discovery. If all the statements
are true, the conduct of the officers of
this institution discloses more of imbe
cility and unfitness for their position
than anything we have met with. in a
long while. It is declared that the cash
in the vault of the bank is over five
hundred thousand dollars, and that it is
amply sufficient to pay every dollar of
the deposits. and why, under such cir
cumstances the institution should have .
been permitted to stumble and come to a
discreditable halt is both a mystery and
a marvel. The capital of the bank is
two hundred and twenty:five thousand
dollars, and if the defalcation were even
a hundred thousand dollars instead of
sixty, as now stated, the most ordinary
business capacity would have been suffi
cient to sustain it -and shield it from se-
rious embarrassment.
No reasons are given for the 'default of
the late cashier, and it is not, publicly
at least, known to what his losses are
attributable. He has lived in a very
modest and unostentious manner, indi
cating, on the face of this domestic life, •
strict economy, But a day or two will
probably suffice to solve the mystery
connected with the affair.

The great feature of Wall street to-day
was Government bonds, which were a
source of great excitement and buoy

quent on the passage of Schenck's bill
by the House, and the probability of
concurrence by the Senate, stimulated

PETROLEUM MARKET.
OFFICE OF PITTSBURGH GAZETTE,
THURtDAYi Feb. 25, 1869.
The market was considerably mud
dled to-day, andlt was difficlut for even
operators to uhderstand or get the hang
of it. In the morning there was, consid
erable excitement, and for a time it
looked as if prices were destined •to go
way up again; but in the afternoon
there was a regular old fashioned break,.
particularly in Refined , for February de
livery, which declined a. fall Cent. It
was thought by some that this was occa
sioned by the manipulations of a precon
certed movement to, break the market--
by partlesin the East who want , to buy
but not at present pricbs- Be 'this as it
may, there is no disguising the fact that
the market was decidedly list, late in the
day, arid `that spot oil was decidedly
I weak and lower. Crude was firmer•
than,on,Wednesday, at least, this seem
ed to be thegeneral feeling and holders
generally were a little stiffer in their
views. The shipments continue to. in
crease slightly, and this explains the
'slight- accumulation of refined in the
east.
CRUDE--The sales reported were as
follows: 2,500 bbls till July Ist, seller; at
16;4; 2,000 same delivery and option at
1634; and 500 spot at ]6X. Salei were
reported as having been made at Oil City
at 86,75, and on the Creek at 16,50.
REFINED—SaIes early in the day of 500
each March and April at 37: and 500 for
last half March at 37g. February,
which early in the day was quoted at
3634©36},f, , it - is said could have been
bot}ght4.lals - ciVening at 3534.: The later
months, although a little weak, too, are
nominally 'unchanged. Buyers option,
all the year, would bring 40, but, we
heard ef but one offer to sell, and it was
