| city concerning the new excise liquor law,

transactions in American securities for Ger
man account. They touched as low as 671
but closed on the 18th at 693 Illinois Cen
trail SOl@sI; Erie 543.
The German advices in regard to Austria
and Prussia continued to be more reassur-
ing, and there was a growing belief in the
prospect of peace.
A Vienna telegram of the 18th says that
Bavaria, Wurtemburg, Ssxony, Baden and
Darnstadt are quite united on the German
and Federal question, and should war oc-
cur they would all be on the side of Austria.
This agreement encourages the hope that
peace will not be far distant. Peace meet
ings continue to be held in the large towns
throughout Prussia.
The text ofthe Prussian reply to the Aus
trian dispatch of the LIST instant dweils es-
peciallY on the admitted movement of Aus
trisn troops on the Prussian frontier, by
which Prussia was led to take defensive
measures, and says ifCount Mensdorff, after
the Emperor had passed his word that no
aggression was intended by Austria, still
continues military preparations, it cannot
be expected that Prussia on equally clear
denial Of hostile intentions having been
given by the king, should relenquish those
defensive measure which were called forth
by the attitude of Austria.
The Prussian answer to England's re-
monstrance is said to be cold and naughty.
The Austrian answer saws Austria does
not ask an inch of land ia the Duchies, nor
will she accept it. Prussia wishes to annex
the Duchies and Austria is bound to sup
port the rights of the Sehleswig- -Holstein
people. She will not dictate to them but re-
quire that the will of the people and the
Diet should be respected. The Prussian
and Austrian troops should be Withdrawn
and the people should choose government
by universal suffrage; Austria abides by
