Ptttsburg OIL Market.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. IA.
Business in the Oil way came to stand. There
was nothing done worthy Of notice. The fact is,
the difference between the price of Crude 81 the
well and at the mouth are such that it cannot be
landed in Pittsburgh and sold ut the present pri-
ces. There 10 no use IN trying to hide what mus,
be evident to all those who are conyersant with
the Oil trade, that the present prices steep
and allows no margin to operators.
Dealers here are inclined to hold OF until mat
tors become regulated. The rates at the mouth
yesterday were $40 so to 10 go p barrel, With
sales. Navigation to that point 10 conducted With
considerable difficulty, and fair amount of ex-
pense. Flats, keels and bsrgcs have things their
own way. We heard of an offer for Is cents for
2,oo06t 5000 brl, Crude, for Pthole Oil, delivered
in Pittsburgh. The offer refused. Holders
declined parting with their stocks for less than
30A@ Sic, without packages. The supply in the
market is very light, whilst the receipts by the riv-
eF only reached ,lo2 barrels, all told. -
REFINED 0IL.--Was inactive; VIC did not learn
of single transaction. Prices we're altogether
nominal. Re6ners are not m xious to force the
article the market, but are disposedto wait and
see the movement going on in Crude. There will
be q reaction before long, but which side will be
benefited viii be sscertained hereafter.
CRUDE Olive have not much to say, and
won't talos long to say it. We have to record the
sales of ITO brls at 35c. packages included. The
market closed in favor Of buyers Commercial

discomfort turned into glorious summer.
Turning to oleaginous sources for content, we
have found it. Dobbs dwelling in cheerful
satisfaction away up in the city that maketh
habitable Rsccoon Forks, enjoying domestic
bliss and. boring for oil, was q. picture Of
"Virtue its own reward which it was de-
light unto US to contemplate. Wetook pleas
ure in chronicling the various events in the
life of Dobbs. But he went off on tangent.
When the dog days we're hottest and mus
quitoes upon the Father Of Waters most vo-
racious, Dobbs gathered himself up and leav
ing his oil well and his Raccoon city where
musYuitoes are an abomination not known,
he betook himself with Mrs. Dobbs and the
little Dobbses and his household goods and
his family bible, and his man servant and his
maid servant and his OK and his ass and
small " dorg'-yea whatsoever he had-all
these gathered up Dobbs, the irrepressible,
and betook himself unto Burlington, and there
dwelt lie. A stranger in q strange land, de-
voured by those predatory insects that infest
river places, and whose music in our own
midst is being just hushed by cold weather,
Dobbs sighed for Des MONIES and his oil we'll
as the ISaeites for Egyptian flesh pots. We
also missed Theophilus from his accustomed
post and pinned for his return. He has re-
turned. He remained at Burlington until the
mosquitoes had done their worst, and their

Capital City, and this item in the Register
shows that he is at his old occupation. How
are you Dobbs9
Early yesterday morning, Theophilus Dobbs
Esq, who had been absent some weeks on q
Tom-fool's Grand resumed operations at his
oil we'll in the back part Of his garden. Be-
fore he abandoned the job to take an excur-
sion, he had penetrated the earth to the dis
lance of several thousand feet. Ten minutes
after he resumed the work, he discovered in
dications of oil; and in less than five minutes
thereafter the machinery which he uses brought
up Postum. During the afternoon he had
the satisfaction to fish out cord and half
of the same kind of animals and during the
night he was busily engaged in eliminating
the oil from their bodies. He has employed
six coopers to keep him in barrels and be is
satisfied from experiments already made, that
Postum oil. when refined and delivered from
its abominable smell, will sepersede kerosene
as an illuminator. 1t is supposed that the
original Postum Party consisted Of set of
abominable scalawags who made fun of Noah
when he predicted their everlasting destruc-
ton in consequence of their wickedness Ev.
cry one of them got drowned as he deserved ;
and in course Of time, by the action of water
and the natural changes in the earth surface,
the bodies of these reprobates landed in the
bosom of the ground. Dobbs is the first man
on top of the soil who is able to put a Pos
sum TO any use and even he is incapable of
doing it until after the animal has been dead
5000 years, and its tail has ceased to wiggle.
