It hovered about 70 until the 9th of August, when it began to fall, reaching 64 on the 27th. A slight rally held it at about 66 until the 7th of September, when an upward movement began, reaching 96 on October 9 th. It remained near 91 until the 10th of November, when it again moved upward, reaching $1.27 on the 21st, closing that day at $1.22$. On the following day it ranged between $1.22$ and $1.10f, closing al $1.18, from which it rallied, reaching on the 2nd of December $1.28 . Between the 10th and 18h it ranged between $1.27$ and $1.10, and fluctuated greatly between $1.18 and $1.09 from this time to January 15, 1880, when it went down in three days to $1.05, and steadily declined with scarce1 a rally, till, on March 9, it touched 85%. It hovered between 85 and 90 till April 6th, when it again commenced to decline, reaching 71 on the 21st. On the 5th of May it closed at 72, and by the 26th had again reached the latitude of 93f, closing on the 31st at 98f. It will thus be seen that the certificates of oil in tank were worth that year from 64f cents to 1.28 per barrel, and this variation of almost 100 per cent, occurred between August 27th and December 2d, an interval of only sixty-eight days."
