Petroleum stocks are active, and a good business is doing
(at somewhat lower prices) in Buchanan Farm, Pit Hole
Creek, United States, Bennehoff Run, Rynd Farm, and
New York, and Allegheny, and, in fact, in all the compa-
nies either paying dividends or owning good properties in
fee simple. This latter company has just declared another
quarterly dividend of 10 per cent., making 130 per cent.
returned in cash to their sfozkholders. Wo also note
several purchases this week of Oceanic at sc. per share,
which price is still bid.

The Bourse continuos active, and prices are well sus-
tained, especially in the case of American Bonds, which
are strengthened by the decline in gold reported by tele-
graph.

FRIDAY, Dec. 6.
Business in American securities during the past week
has been very active, and the price of 5-20 Bonds of 1862
reached 71-1 i on Tuesday, when the news was received
that Gold had touched 1361 in Now York. The subse-
quent rise in the price of gold, however, to 137, coupled
with the by no means encouraging effect of President
Johnson's Message, caused a decline in 5-20's.
Five-Twenties of 1862 have declined ir per cent. during
the past week, and open this morning 70f Those of
1865 have receded 1 per cent., opening at 691. 1. Ten-
Forties are now quoted 67i 68k, or about the same as last
week.
Illinois Central Railway Shares have been steadily ad-
vancing, and open at 90 90i, or about 3 per Tit. above
the corresponding quotation of last week. Erie Railway
Shares have also advanced, and open at 47k 48k, or 1 per
cent. higher. Atlantic and Great Western Consolidated
Mortgage Bonds are now 19 20, showing an improvement
of 1 per cent. for the week.

(From E. Satterthwaite and Co.'s Weekly Circular, Dec. 4.)
By the City of Baltimore we have advices from New York
to the 22d ult. General business had been very stagnant,
and money, owing to rumours of some pending commercial
failures, was dearer, 10 to 12 per cent. being asked on good
bills, and 8 per cent. on first-rate collaterals. In the Stock
Market Government Bonds were very firm, the 5-20's of
all issues being in steady demand for home investment,
and the 10-40's for export on European account.
The Railroad Share Market showed some fluctuations,
mainly influenced by the uncertainty prevailing as to the
financial policy which would be adopted by Congress.
Erie was again the chief medium of speculation, at ono
time running up to 73k, but closing 71k. New York Cen-
tral was strong on the prospect of Mr. Vanderbilt obtain-
ing control of the road. Chicago and North-Western were
in great demand, and had improved $lO, being last quoted
57 to 58.

State Stocks and Railroad Bonds wore well supported.
Gold had fluctuated between 40} and 39f premium, the
latter being the final quotation.

NEW YORK CENTRAL RAILROAD.

We observe that the control of this road is to pass into the
hands of Mr. Vanderbilt, from which we augurgreat results,
both to this undertaking and tht Erie, with which com-
pany he has, through its present board of directors, con-
siderable influence ; so strong a requisition as that which
we givo below, representing 513,000,000 out of a total of
ordinary stock of $24,800,000, and an aggregate capital,
including bonded debt, of 5,40,000,000, is seldom tendered,
and we trust that, in acceding to the request, Mt. Vander-
bilt will, as early as possible adopt such measures that the
competition hitherto existing between the two companies
may be brought to a termination, and that by an agree-
ment to charge fair remunerative rates both may derive
substantial advantages.
It will be remembered that, under Mr. Vanderbilt's able
control, the Hudson River and the New York and Harlem
Railroads were both raised from the condition of almost
bankrupt concerns to that of sound dividend-paying
lines.
