Pittsburg Oil Trade.
PITTsBURG, Septembe

IlIlSDIRt, ocptcuuel -.
Business during the week was mod
crately active, buta large improvement
was perceptible in regard to both sales
and prices as compared with the two
preceding weeks. The European news
during the past four days was decided
ly favorable for sellers, who were dis
posed TO make good use Of the same,
The market at present rules altogether
in favor of holders. The weeks sales OF
crude reach 1886 barrels, against r.
800 barrels last week, being an increase
of Sc, S95 barrels. The refined sales du-
ring the same period amounted to As.
900 barrels, against 1880 barrels the
week previous, an increase Of29, 500 bar
rels. The increase in crude and refined
amounts toes ,365 barrels, which is GER
taiuly a fair one for one week. The re-
ceipts by river and rail of crude this
week were 1900 barrels and last week
ll3S barrels. the railroad exports east
this week were 10, l97 barrels, and last
week 6S72, being an increase of 1895
barrels. The falling off in crude this
year, as compared with the same period
in 1866, amounts to "a, 1877 barrels. This
can readily be accounted for by the con-
tinued low stage of water in the ALLIE
gheny. The Eastern markets continue
excited, with an active enquiry for oil
for the last three months delivery.
The following is the weeks trausac-
tons, in condensed form:
Monday-The market was dull. The
best offers were: Spot, Re; first water
loo. and aol,O pnnu l,hls oil tbn ,-aor
lie.
Observation-Disclosures wast the ruling
feature of the market. Holders were
demanding an advance, but buyers held
off and nothing was done.
Observation-Disclosures very firm. Spot
oil sold at 124c readily. Buyers were
taking time to consider whether to sub.
nit to the advance OF hold ont. The
sales were 2050 bbls.
Thursday-The market opened firm
and so continued throughout the day
The sales foo mp IL 400 bbls. The rates
were: Sellers option, all the year
l2ic; buyers option, 13ic, and spot
l2!c. Smiths Ferry advanced to l2tc
and sales were made for March and
April delivery, 1868, at 13al35c.
Friday-The sales were the largest
we have noted in u long time, princi-
pally for future delivery. A portion
were resales, the present purchaser to
pay the difference in cash. The highest
figures reached were 13fc, for 1868 de-
livery. Spot oil sold at l3al3ic. A rise
in the Allegheny would be welcome
news TO large number of oil men, as
the amount sold for first rise delivery is
very large. Refined-The market was
firm with an active inquiry. The mar
bet opened on Monday at 2ic for the
last three months, and closed on Satur-
day at SAGE, being in advance of &c pei
gallon.
Saturday-The market was very firm.
Buyers were plenty at the advance OF
the previous day. Dispatches from Oil
City report the market firm and dealers
excited. The sales in this market
reached Il, $50 bbls.
