The new brass railings about the center
OF the Old Exchange rooms are kept pol.
ished to-day by the elbows OF oleaginous
bulls and bears. The crude article has
taken sudden upward turn in the wake
OF refined at the seaboard and at Antwerp.
At 2:SO P. NJ refined at Antwerp was held
at 2SSc frances, and at New York at II &C.
The market for crude to-day opened at
81 0SS bid. with sales at that figure, de.
Clined to 81 05 bid and closed at 81 06t bid
with sales at that.
The total transactions yesterday at the
Exchange were about It's 900 and to-day
will doubtless foot up 100000 barrels.
The reasons assigned are the advance Of
refined in Europe and New York, the de-
filming OF the Bradford field, and the actiV-
ity the export trade. Other informants
hold that the advance is OF temporary
nature, and that when those chiefly con.
CerHed in the putting up Of prices have
gained their ends there will reaction.
On this topic this mornings Derrick
says: at seemed today as il, all at once,
the trade awakened to the fact OF the
enormous gulf existing between crude and
refined oil and to that other TACT that re.
fined instead OF declining was steadily ap.
preciating aud reaching a point supposed
a short time ago TO be unattainable, with
strong probability that it would con.
