business to day was a further extraordinary fall in
Turkish Six per Cents. The prior, which was lest
quoted yesterday 914 to # ex div., ranged

PROPOSED NEW COINAGE IN AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, OCTOBER 9.

There is good reason to believe that the German
Numismatic Congress bas arrived at a result which cannot
be other than satisfactory to the whole of Germany. I be-
lieve I am correct in stating that Austria has determined to
abandon her present mcnetary system, and introduce the
decimal system, taking for the unit of value the florin (21 to
the fine mark of silver), and undertakiog to coin a sufficient
amount of pieces of two, one, and one quarter florins, In
silver, together with copper coins of five and ten•hundredths
of a florin. In addition to this, Auetria intends also to
ooln a large quantity of the North German one-dollar pieces,
which will pus current in the whole of the Austrian do-
minions for a florin and a half; and a new gold coin, now
agreed to by the Congress, to pass current in all the states
of Germany. This new coin will contain the one fiftieth
I part of a pound of pure gold, and it is proposed to call it a
German eagle. The North German double-dollar win pass
in Austria fuss three florins.
