Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune
New YORK, May 17.-Figures show that the
total creation Of new securities in Germany
within the last twenty-seven months is 3,o51,-
600, 600 guilders, equal to 81 220. 600, ,000 OF
this total 205, 500, 900 guiders consist OF State

resents 1,oo9, 800 600 guilders, Or s4os su0u, ,UU0
an amount closely approaching the entire capital
of tle National Banks OF the United States The
issues OF railroad securities, bonds and stocks
amount to SIG, 600 gi1aera, which, as it is
equal to only $90, 900, 600 per annum, can hardly
be regarded az an excessive issue during period
of leGitlmately extensive railroad construction;
still behind the expansion there appears to have

trade OF the country. ','-- ,:c::. ~;
The consolidation Of the Austrian Empire seems
to have given birth to new era of prosperity,
and special efforts hare been made to develope
the rich resources Of Hungary, the result OF
which appeared in 1871, in an increase Of about
100 600 600 forms, or 20 per cent in the imports
and exports, respectively, Of the Empire. It il:

It appears that the wild spirit OF speculation
which now aud then af1icts America, has reached
the Austrian capital. and unnatural imitation has
been followed By the natural result. Thus far,

for apprehension, the trouble being confined to
the minor hrms. No sales OF, American securi-

consequence Of the reputed stringency abroad.
