FINANCE AND TRADE
Orman or PITTSBURGH GAznrru,
THURSDAY, Sept. 9, 1869. S
Government bonds declined to-day
under a tight money market, and in
consequence of large offers to the Gov
ernment., over eight million bonds be
ing offered and only two millions
wanted. New 5-2 Us sold down to 118 X,
and 1881 s to 120. At the close, however,
the market improved slightly.
Gold opened at 133 M, declined to 134%,
and sold up to 1353 g, closing steady at
1353,. The short interest has been ma
terially increased since the decline, and
if the money market will be relieved to.
morrow by the payment of about two
and a half millions of currency, a sharp
rise may take place. either to-morrow
afternoon or on Saturday evening. The
movement in the south to demand gOld
in payment of cotton may tend to
advance the premium tbniporarily
until gold finds its way back. The
New York World has advocated this
system of bringing about specie pay
mensa quicker than in any other way for
some time, and in its favor are the facts
that he circulating medium would there
by not be decreased, and currency only
be kept as a convenience.
Stock are dull but steady. Cleveland
and Pittsburgh sold up to 119; Ohio and
Mississippi from 3134 suddenly up to 132,
but some of the Western shares are dull
and lower.
Money is scarcer and commands from
8 to 12 per. cent. for good paper. Busi
ness seem: gradually tctreviva.

PITTSBURGH MARKIEM
OFFICE OF PITTSBURGH GAZETTD,
TUESDAY, Sept. 9, 1869.
The general markets are quiet, though
.here is, nevertheless, a fair volume of
business in the aggregate; as has been,
the case for some time, the demand for
almost everything is confined to sup
plying immediate wants of the local
trade, while prices generall . are un
changed. The receipts of grain and
flour are only moderate, though the
supply is fully equal to the demand, and
the same is true of other articles not
necessary here to specify. Fruits con
tinue to arrive pretty freely, but un
der the influence of a steady demand,
prices are fully sustained.
