re luction of prices at those cities, simply on tbe as-
sumption that they must have resulted from some
disastrous state of affairs which would soon transpire.
The Frankfort Bourse is engaged but to a small
extent in the Vienna speculations, but many opera-
tors in South Germany may be seriously compro-
mised. At a meeting of policy-holders of the Albert
Assurance Company at Berli❑ it was resolved not
to acquiesce in any reconstruction of the company
under any form whatever, but to petition the Chan-
c:,llor of the _North German Confederation to in-
tervene in their favour in the English Courts, so
that the affair may he wound up iu bankruptcy, in
order to sustain and enforce the responsibility of
the shareholders. The number of telegrams de-
spatched in the North German Confederation in
1868 was 4,304,600, against 3,093,987 in 1867 ; and
the produce was 1,902,528 thalers, against 1,562,117
thalers.
Further small failures continue to be announced
among the Lancashire cotton manufacturers.
At a meeting yesterday of the Merchant Banking
Company of London (Limited) a dividend was de-
clared at the rate of 5 per cent per annum, and
the death of Mr. Watson and the retirement of Mr.
Pearce were announced.
