Business Depression in Germany.
The Vienna correspondent Of the London
Economist says, Feb. Is:
The latest returns of the Imperial Bank of
Germany show the same tendency which We
have observed for the last i've weeks, and
which is 60 very favorable to the currency re-
form. On the other side, however. these re-
turns prove the extreme depression OF bust
ness Discounts again decreased by 14,O0O,-
20 marks, and the circulation of notes by
10y {. COO, 600 marks. The discounts and note
circulation OF the Austrian National Bank
have also continued to diminish within the
last four weeks. The demonstration of silver
thaleEs, or their reduction to the standard OF
Imperial new silver coin, is facilitated by this
state Of things. There seems to be . double
reason why this measure has not yet been
taken. First of all, the exchange Of old silver
coins into new still offers some difficulties es-

There Is q good deal Of talk about making

secretary Of the Treasury does not see any
objection particularly, if they had proper dol

high as $40; but the argument has yet to

Al effort will be made during that discus
sion TO bring about some sort OF combina-
ton between England, France, Belgium, the
Netherlands, Austria and Italy, through
convention Of scientists, to give silver coins
standard OF value as compared with gold
coins. The idea is that it is difficult thing
for us as one nation to stand up against the
