the Board Of Publication detailed financial

the Boards recent conduct; and many Of them
express an intention OF rebuking ita arrogance.

AUSTRIA


NEW YORK, May. T.--Figures show that the
total creation Of new securities in Germany
within the last twenty-seyen months is s,051;-
600 900 gui1ders, or eq qua to 81 22o oo0, ,ooo -ot
this total 2os soc, 900 guildars consist Of State
and city loans, which are presumably good,
and not to be reckoned in any respect as spec
ulatiye issuea. The creation Ut new banks rep
resents 1,o0s 600, 900 guilders, or s404 600 900,
an q amount closely approaching the entire capital
ct the National Banks OF the United States. The
lssues OF railroad securities, bonds and stocks
amount to SIG, 100,o00 glders, which, as it ie
equal to only $780, 000, 900 per annum, car. hardly
be regarded az an excessive issue during period
OF legitimately extensive railroad construction;
peen q. very substantial Improvement in tho
trade OF the country.
The consolidation OF the Austrian Empire eeeus
to have given birth to new era Of prosperity,
and apecla1 efforts hare been made to develope
the flch resources Of Hungary, the result Of:
100 ooo, 600 forms, OF 20 per cent in the imports
and EXPORTS respectively, Of the Empire. It is
believed that this real prosperity has been ona.
Of the causes Of the excessive speculation, The
German bankers Of the city, near}y al Of whom
fort, Berlin, and other European capitals,
unanimously report comparative quiet on
the other side, and agree in. the
statement that If there have been failures in
Vienna, they have occurred among smaller and
uninfiueutial concerns, whose veal or WOO ia OF
but slight interest to the commercial world.
1t appears that tho wild spirit Of speculation
which now and then afI1icts Arnerica, has reached
the Austrian capital, aud unnatural imitation has
been followed By tho natural result. Thus far,
the suspension Of no important bank is report
ed, and it is affirmed that there is no necessity
for apprehension, the trouble being confined to
the minor firms. No sales OF American securi-
ties have been ordered by German bankers ID
consequence Of the reputed striugenoy abroad.
