Tbe Erie Dispatch, of yesterday publishes tbe following article upon the petroleum trade: Various influeates combine to create the new interest tbnt now centres on the petio Iriim trade. It is not possible that such a power In the commercial world as tbe oil market should remaia notoucbed by the vast fluctuations that are now, like the storm-swells of tbe sea, sweeping over linan clal America, tiling up eld business chan nels and drifting out new. It Is something to this northwest nook, and to nil interr ed that these commercial upbeavinga, as in tbe ease of tbe other essential interests, have brought petroleum palpably to the surface; and as 'oil" bos a repugnancy to "mixing" generally, it Is Indicated that kerosene will be king "while the lamp holds out to burn." Three points obtain prominence In this connection: supply, reserve' and demand. The question of supply is simply the ques tion of nature's productiveness; the demand will be satisfied as far as enterprise bits to do In that direction. Tbe fears of exhaus tion st flrsl entertalaed by a very naturally inereduloni public seem, from subsequent developments, not to have been well found ed. Strikes are tbo order of the day as mush now as ever, though they mny not discover themselves in thu shape of Shermans" and "Grants," with their 800 te 1.5U0 barrels per day. Striking ilu" has become a legitimate, staid, old-fashioned and nnn sensntioiiul businesH now, robbed of thai "vaulting ambition which o'erleaps itself," According to the latest and most reliable accounts, the average production of an toe wens in the Venango region Is about ten thousand barrels per day. which, we be lieve, Is fully up to tbo production at the same time In 168 And more tbsn this tbe comparatively high prices which have prevailed tor somo time Unit resuscitated and stimulated development, so that the' nunioer oi weua ooiug put nown, it IS Sam, is almost unprecedented in the history of tbe trsdo. As lor. the stock the reserve on band, it is net so easy a matter to arrive at any definite estimate, nor Is it, per In p. so de sirable. Nevertheless., this consideration has much to do with tbe present condition ul tbe oil market. It has been stated re cently that the stoeks in the warld at tbe beginning of 1869, were one million barre s lets than at the beginning of lSl'.S, while, on tbe ether band it has been ligured up that the stock on hand now is fully up to wbut it was Inst year at this time. Here is a discrepancy of a million barrels, nearly equal to one-third of tbe year'a production, mid bow is it to Iw reconcile IT Tbe great difficulty In gelling at the point in queslior, lies in tbe fact there are no lull, saln.fi.cior ami reliable statistics, by which to deter mine, with any degree of accuracy, the slocks on band; and while we admit that there are some planes where the lecords of receipts and shipments ean have been kept eerreotly, there are others, where they have not, S i that in order to make nut a full state ment, tbe statistician In corai.lilnn hia fitr tires has, in many cases, to estimate or miess at it as best be can. In the long run, bur . ever, tuts question or reserve is nothing as regards tbe two other euds of the trade. The supply must ho the greatest possible, bicautt Tbe demand is immense nml on the in crease. Tbe shipments to foreign markets in lbtitt were unprecedented In the history oi me i r auc, neing nearly uonuie., we bit lleve, what tbey were in IboT, and if the Vrusent can b taken as a criterion of the fulHre, it is probable lout the consumption oi on in ikiu win ne much larger than it whs in IStiS. New markets sr.- being opened up every year, and, in consequence at Its rueaunets, mere is no other article thni can succeeifiilly compete with It. The point of auxiety now only is tbe extent of tbo great subterranean basin Irom which this source of wealth Hows. Petroleum has t'0 me u universal necesiy. There is no danger, therefore, of Its production ever becoming se great as to swamp the demand. Tbo real danz"r Is, if there is any in the muter, that a doerease in lti finply iiisy occur, and thus pUott au tx.ir Jli .ui ptiu tut Hie o oumnd. ty. ' Even aa it if the pri lucem- i'liet, h'gtit but lh.ro i' plenty of mar gin vi, teline any oil joN ean ial,a pUao. The tena.nav at' present is upward, uiui will be nntll spring, wbeo some roodifleatlon will lake place; though no oiatcrial retro grade; for the petroleum trade la es much an Inatlliition of our commerce now a tbe coal or iron trade. OIL. CITI CORRESPONDENCE. Oil Citt, Jan. 29.

Wx notice a communication la the Ve nango Republican, which lakes our Oil City correspondent to task In relation to a letter published in this paper some timo since.
