PIrTsBURGH, February 20.-Petroleum-
Trading at the Oil Exchange to-day was
more excited than for many weeks The
opening sales were at 72l, but within few
minutes 735 was freely bid. The bears
made several unsuccessful attempts to break
values but the bulls more than held their
own. During the morning session fuctus-
tons were confined to comparatively mar
row range. At IL o'clock the price was
73s. but on heavy buying jumped to 74dc.
Sales to realize broke values to 73Sc, at
which figure it remained until 2 o'clock.
At that hour kilograms were received that
the Mclaughlin we'll was dry and the price
shot up like rocket to 74ac. This sudden
advance forced the shorts into covering,
and amid the widest excitement values
went climbing up the scale at lively rate,
and when the gong sounded at the close 76c
was bid. Transactions to-day were very
large and probably exceed 100000 barrels
