Doug, Vjs littsburgij Gayttt, FINANCE AND TRADE. OFFICEOF PITTSBURGH GATT:TYR, SATURDAY. February 27, 1869. The excitement in the government bond market reached its highest point at noon on Saturday, when old 18828 were sold as high as 118%, and 1867 s 113%, from which there was a sharp de cline from 134@2 per cent. on informa tion from the pressure to sell in the Eu ropean markets and the announcement of a large fresh shipment. The upward tendency was also stimulated by the large home demand for investment, con sequent upon the action of the Senate Fi nance Committee. 1040 s were the only bonds that did not proportionately ad vance, and are now likely to stay behiiad the rest •as only a five per cent. security, and no.better than the rest, as soon as the bill to make all bonds payable in gold has passed the Senate, of which there is no doubt. It * remains now to see what effect the large shipments of bonds will have in Europe. Whether they will be rapidly absorbed or remain in the hands of. Ispeculators, their fate there is de pendant on the course of gold here. i A rise in gold premium at present, would stimulate purchases there, and would also be I , eneficialto our export trade and the final lowering of gold premium. If the closing prices of gold on Saturday are any Indicati.)ns of the course of the premium, a large demand for cash gold should advance the price at least three or four points,.put the Spring business in full activity and bring back a large amount of gold in the United States Treasury, thus giving a very favorable , statement before the May interest is paid, and would enable the government to cancel part of the issues of 1862. Such a step would be more towards specie payments rthan any other measure by legislation. It might have the effect of &Warming bonds in Europe , to, par in specie,' creating a-fiirther. demand for bonds,4hickwould enable us to bridge over the iperiod intervening between now and the.moment when all our paper issues could be redeemed in coin that 'are'latended to be withdrawn from cir culation. It would be paying a heavy interest to Europe for the use of gold, such, as no private individual could stand, but better, to pay it and gat down to hard money prices jthan stand the strain dn-our Industry any longer. Tak ing, then, everything into conaideration, and the dullness 'alines:lola life during a comparative ease of money, it is not unlikely that once more a great effort Will be made by'monied men snd com binations to raise the pi ice of every bond, gold, railroad and other securities before a general settlingl down.to specie prices will set in. Such a movement is on foot, and,, whosoever is caught when the market has reached its highest point, 1 is not likely to get his money back again. The advance in governments. .has caused a better demand for our low priced dividend paving securities, and stooks and bonds, for which there was no market a week ago, will be readily taken at full prices. There is also an improvement in Pacific Railroad bonds, which are more inquired for In Europe, and will finally be held there as a per manent investment, espetially in Frank fort, where financiers are, better acquain ted- with Americana securities than in England. - , • • Closing Anotatione as received by Ph R.

The. atiPPIY of money on. call was very liberal, and loina k which were made at 6(07 most of.:the 44, weal° 4@6before - the closet' Mine , bankers' paper inned 7igB, per cent. notice a 'eon. t (Disposition on the part of brekers and Others to 'provide for future wants in anticipation of a stringent market the latter part of March or first of April. This, preparation - has been so general that the demand for time loans has materially abated. within the 'pat ,few \days, and some loans haVe been made to first-class" parties on a lond time at a legal rate in • currency without comb:as-ion added. If , these preparations for the future con- • tinue on the part of all large berroiVers, the stringency expected on making up of the April bank statement may be averted. Thedniure of the financial sit uation certainly looks brighter than it did a short time ago. The bank state ment shows a decrease in,nearly every item. The falling ofE in loans arises from decreased demands for money, while the • decrease in deposits is caused by the loss in specie, consequent upon the heavy de mand for customs. The fact that the. de posits are not decreased so much as specie shows that currency Is moving this way, and as the legal tender aver ate was a;risin.g one towards the close of the week, the next statement will probably be more favorable. Loans, $261.371,897; decrease, 82,056,171; specie, $20,832,603; decrease, $2,517,788; circulation, $34,247,981; increase. 8660; • deposits, $186,216,175; decrease, 82,376,371; legal tenders, $50;835,054; decrease, 8162;- 143.

Governments have been active and ex cited throughout the day, with an enor mous business for home investment and shipment. The fluctuations have been very great, the two extremes being 116N®118% on the '62's, and 112;‘®11334 • on the '67's. The break in the market ' in the middle of the day was"catised by exaggerated reports about a decline in London on account of the large amount of bonds delivered there to-day. There was a sharp rally from the lowest point, and at the close the market once more assumed a strong I and settled ' feeling. Coupons of 'Bl, 1153; ®IISN; do.

OPPICB OB Prrrantrnair GAzwrrz, SATURDAY. Feb. 27 1 1869. The market has been rather tame this week, comparatively speaking, haying . lost that buoyancy which prevailed some weeks since, and, compared with the early part of the week, prices have de- ! • clined,from two to three cents per gal- g loni On Thurday and Friday there seemed to-be a slight panio in the East, bdt te;day the advices were of a more faVorable character, and there was a I slightly improved feeling, especially on the part pf• those whose interests favor higher prices. The fact' that the stocks are Increasing slightly, and that the number of vessels loading is unusually small, is regarded as a very strong point k by those who advocate lower prices, as it 1 is contended that this shows that there is buClittle or no dsmand for export, while 41 it is generally conceded that the specu lative feeling, for the time being, at least, has pretty well subsided. There is I. another point presented by the "bears" which is worth •of notice. and that is a slightly increased production. There I.; are those, however, who contend that r: , • • the, present reaction is in the order of events—that it is one of ithosespasmodic movements which is a characteristic of the •trade, and, that the .'_present. stagna pen and depression will be followed by -I a stronger market and better- prices. CRUDE—The Crude market has been; 7 very quiet, and little weak for severaLi;.:' days, and as already, noted, prices are, lower, than they were during tho part of the week.
