Petroleum Trade.

The New York, BULLETIN, in discussing
the petroleum trade, says seventy per cent
OF oil the exports of petroleum made this
year have been made from New York. while
the remaining thirty per cent. shipped from
Philadelphia was nearly all on account of
New York merchants. It says that con-
tracts can be obtained from Pittsburgh re-
finers ut buyers option for one mouth, in
''lines" for series of months extending
ever the whole year, and that spectators
can be more readily accommodated in Pitts
burg than in Cleveland. 1t is this mania
for speculation that the BULLETIN ascribes
the decline 10 the refined products of Pitt
hurgh for the past year. 1t alleges that re-
iinsrs OF this city are nearly all speculators
on either the ~buIp' or "bear' side. buying
sad selling options OF each other hands out
side parties who always have the advantage
The result is that speculation has almost
entirely usurped the place Of legitimate
manufacturing business. The BULLETIN
then gives the refuers of Pittsburgh the
following advice:
'.If the rcfiners there would be content
with moderate aud sure profits, limit their
fales 10 periods Of thirty or forty days IA
head, and to the legitimate exporting trade,
snd contract to deliver at sellers option to
suit the ''lay-da7s" of the buyers vessel, it
is unquestionable that they could run their
work at greater profit than any other man
ufacturing centre, By adopting this course
they become more intimately connected
with those who buy oil for actual export,
their brands would become better known.
and more desirable to the buyers, as, in
many cases, one brand would make an en-
tire cargo; they would pay less by leakage;
in short, they would become masters OF
their own business. Having no contracts
for future delivery of refined oil they would
not be obliged to bny crude futures at ad-
yanced rates to cover, thereby continue ly
stimulating the price Of crude. The Pitts
burg refners possess, in most Cases, ample
tankase, and could easily hold their refined
oil over the weak and dull stage of the
market. The location OF Pittsburgh, con-
nected as she is by rail and water with the
oil regions, and possessing cheap fuel, iron
and cooperage, and the Pennsylvania Rail
road always guaranteeing her lower eas,-
ward freights than the Pennsylvania or any
other railroad company will concede to any
other manufacturing point-all these ad-
vantages combine to enable her to deliver
refined petroleum at tide-water at lower
prices than can be touched by the refners o.
either New York or Cleveland"
Referring to the rumors that the Pitts
burg reliuers had formed combination that
caused the recent alvlncs in both crude
