TURIN, DEC. 30.
Things begin to look rather better here in the
commercial world. The bank has not yet lowered
its rate of discount, but is expected to do so in a day
or two, and meanwhile money is to be had at one
and even two per cent. less than the bank rate.
The silk market is also improving; there have been
purchases for speculation, and some persons expect
that by the middle of January the improvement will
be very decided. The reason alleged for the Bank's
not having lowered its discount is, that it was afraid
of too heavy a pull on its coffers at the close of the
year. At least, such was the apprehension at
Genoa, but it is now agreed that the Bank shall
lower to 9 per cent. on the Ist of January. The
accounts from Milan are also better. Th: new Silk
Bank has afforded some relief. It appears that that
bank and the Discount Bank, originally distinct
projects, are to be merged in one.
In politics the most complete stagnation still pre
wails. Both Chambers sat yes' erday, for the first
time since Christmas, but their proceedings were of
small general interest.
There is now little doubt that in about a year an
unbroken line of railway will connect Turin and
Venice. The link that was wanting, the short piece
between the Ticino and Milan, is being set about
in good earnest, and as it offers no great difficul-
ties beyond some heavy embankments at the Pied-
montese end, it is thought that 12 months ought
to complete it.
It is stated that if the movement of the earth-
quake in Naples had been in a contrary direction
—that is to say, perpendicular instead of lateral,
a rising and sinking instead of a rocking to and fro
—the capital would have been converted into a heap
of ruins.
