PETROLEUM MARKET. OFFICE of PITTSBURGH Warn's, 4 FRIDAY, August 20, 1869. There is no Improvement to note in the tine of oil market either as regards demand or prices, and the trade contin ues in that unsettled and unsatisfactory condition that has prevailed for several Months, or we might say all this year. The fact is, there is no chance for busi ness in the present state of affairs, and the bulk of the sales making from day to day, are "settlements;" refiners cannot entertain fresh negotiations for Refined at present price of Crude, and the crude dealer cannot make concessions, In view of the prices in the producing region. Compared with yesterday, the former has again declined, and the latter is weak but unchanged. Circulars received today report the stock of oil in Philadelphia on Saturday last at 44,226 bbla relined, and 4,345 bbls crude. Exports from New -York from January Ist to date, 35,812,184 gallons; same time last year 30,271,228; from Phil adelphia, 17,081,560; same time last year, 18,018,374. EllE3 But a single sale reported 1,000 seller all 1809 at 1434, and there ,were other offers to sell same delivery at same price with- out finding buyers. Spot or seller this month was not offered below 15 here, although we understand that there were sales above at $5,85 on broad guage cars, which is considered equivalent to 14% or 14,x, delivered here. REIPINED Sale 500 bbls 'spot,- at 3IX; 500 each September to December, at 32%; 2,000 each same months, at 32%; and 500 same at 3214. While, as will be seen, prices remain without esswitial change, com pared with yeqorday, yet the feeling seemed to denote weakness, and, as the saying is, refined oil is now below cost.

OFFICE OF PITTSBURGH GAZETTE, FRIDAY, August 20, 1869. § The metal market, compared with last week, has undergone but little change, and is devoid of anything really new or important. Eastern Irons are not arriv ing very freely which is in consegnence of the fact that they are worth relatively more in Philadelphia, and this being the case the great proportion of Anthracite furnaces are shipping all. or nearly so, of their prodUct t o hat market. • There is a fair business inw estern Irons with a better feeling re rted, but no essen tial change in prices. The Bellaire Nail Works 'were to re sume operations Tuesday. hires were lighted on Monday in a portion of the Bel mont Mills. The Wheeling Intelligeneer says that "next week the La Belle Mills will commence a new year's campaign. - We have not heard when Riverside and Top Mills will resume." ANTHRACITE. 100 tons . C. S.
