BRADY & CO. Vjg litintrO Gairttt, FINANCE AND TRADE . OFFICE OF PITTSBURGH GAZETTE, TUESDAY, March 16, 1869. The immense imports over exports of seven million dollars gold for the past week gave a stronger tone to, the gold market, which ranged to-day from 13134 to 13IN, against 13074, and 131% of yes terday. Shipments of bonds are also unprofitable, for the present quotations of bonds are lower in Europe than they are here, whilst gold is selling at near 131. The arguments in favor of a lower gold premium during all last week were based solely on the reported sales which were to take place by the government in order to get currency; but it is now evident that the government will not sell gold for the present, and a reaction of several points is lixely to be the con- sequence. government bonds opened at a decline ' on last night's quotation, and all the different series were about one•fourth per cent: lower, whilst new 1865's _consols advanced to 113%. Some of these bonds had, been shipped to Europe about a year ago as an experiment, were, ne glected for home investment, and sold largely ,short., When money become scarce a few days ago, on the easier money market, these bonds advanced and are now scarce for delivery. The whole market is in a condition li able to a decline of two or three per cent. on a tight money market, to which we are rapidly drifting.. In Stocks the market was very dull for nearly everything except Fort Wayne, which kept firm and 'advanced to 120%, just prior to the closing of the books before the election of. Directors. 'The whole market is promising towards lower prices. Our, home market for se, cnrities is also declining, and round lots of some securities are held here, that formed an occasional market East, which can not be sold even at cones• sions. • Money is tightening more and more as the demands for Spring business in crease, whilst business is, dull. • Quotations as received by Ph.

The market was unusually .quiet to day being devoid of that eicitement and confusion which has prevailed for some line past, and, consequently, presents a more intelligent and reliable appear ance. That prices are ranch lower is an established fact—there is no disputing on this point—but whether or no they will still go lower, is the most important question, and 'on it there is very natu rally a conflict of views, and considera discussion. It was reported this after noon that die advicea from the East were of a more cheerful charader, there being a slightly improved demand, without, however, anp change in prices. • It is also said that exporters have' corn - - menced to buy, and that they will take a considerable amount at present quota tions, thought they would doubtless take hold more freely if prices would. still further decline, and it is possible that some of them may hold back in hopes of filling their ordeLs at a still further reduction. There are those, however, who seem to be confident that bottom has not been touched, and that prices are yet too much inflated, and that in. order to have a good, healthy foreign trade, prices must of necessity go still lower. There is one .thing which it is • well not to lose sight of, :and that is, that as soon as these Eastern "bears" have • "loaded up" they will turn "bulls" again, and bring about the same strat egy to put prices up, that that they have done within the past week to break them down. CRUDE—The market was very quiet today, and compared with yesterday prices have . undergone no quotable change. Sale of, 2,000 bbls, seller till July Ist. at 15%; and 500 next ten days, seller, at 1535. As noted in our last re port, there is considerable inquiry for early deliveries, but as a general thing buyers are inclined to hold off in hopes of a still further decline. REFINED—There was but a single sale reported. 500 bbls for the last half Mar& at 82. Spot oil quoted at 31@31 1 4; April to July 34; April to December 36. As already intimated, the advicea from both. Philadelphia. and New York were of a more favorable character this after noon, without, however, 'any improve ment in prices. OIL SHIPPED EA ST BY A. Y. B. B. Citizens Ref.
