The meat iiriking feature in Stook Balmy
ireiness, both here and in Paris, ambits of continued
speulatise pi:cheese by influential ortolan. The
basis el times transactions, which has been pro-
secuted fee some time, and to a say heavy extent, is
avowedly a hope that materials far a psi& under-
standing between the belligerent powers will be
attained this winter aweigh the mediation of
Aestria. Brea should this definitive result
not be whined, the parties referred to pro-
fess to calculate that the mere attempt at the
restoration

of pease will deter speculative sake and
beasidally affect the prises d public securities. The
statements upon which these views are founded are
believed to be mainly as follows : The Austrian go-
vernment, it is reported, has forwarded to the West-
era Pewees certain proposals for pesos, which have
hosamptal by France, and also by England, bat
with cattalo modifiestions. These nsodilicatioos, it is
averred, have been referred to Vienne. It is further
Mated that. in the event of Russia refusing to treat
en the basis which Austria will propose, Austria will
break off diplomatic relations with that power. AU
these statements, with their inferences, we may re-
mark, most be received with reserve, as the parties
by whom they are chiefly put forward have
evidently speculative views. They constitute,
however, the chief =planation of the re-
cent remarkable rise in the funds, and for
that raison deserve some notice. The hops of benefit
from the active intervention of Austria is discou-
raged both by her antecedent tergivereation and
present military attitude. Moreover, if them pacific
proposals originate in Vines, the value of any such
arrangements basemen very questionable in the ab-
sence of a reliable intimation that Ramis, the ori-
ginal aggressor, is dimpled to give way. Judging
from the tone hitherto maintained by the Russian
government, there seems small ground for the hops
that it is as yet sakently humbled to accede to
sash stringent terms as will alone satiety the British
motion. No racial information relative to the wee-
niest§ of diplomacy being at present volunteered, we
may point out that the organised speculation
for a rise in London and Paris renders the market
the more sensitive to any adverse influence, and will
probably aggravate the ultimate reaction, should the
hopes of peace prove vain. In this owe, the near
approach of the period when the British government
must have recourse to another large loan to meet the
war expenditure, would also increase the &premien.
From this brief sketch it may be inferred that, in
the eventuality of
_either peace or a continuance of
the war, considerable fluctuations in the stock mar-
kets are probable.

Total
The chief feature in this Worn is the increase in
the private deposits. The treasury deposits, which
at this period of the quarter usually exhibit a steady
increase, have decreased. Owing to the sustained
demand foe money, there is a further augmentation
in the private securities. The increase in the bullion,
though small, is satisfactory. if we bear in mind the
hat that the balk of the recent arrivals of Australian
=Lad not come to hand in the week to which this
almost refers.
