The Vienna money crisis has been very sharp, and seems
to be by no means past. We have described its main features at length elsewhere, but may add here that 120 fresh failures,—chiefly, we imagine, of companies and brokers,—were announced on Thurs- day, and that there had been 300 within the week. Suicides in consequence of money losses seem to take place daily, and other great commercial centres are suffering from the shock to credit. It is said that at Odessa there is a complete suspension on the Bourse, and that it is hard to get good bills discounted at 9 per cent. We do not suppose that the French indemnity is more than very slightly and indirectly responsible for the inflated condition of Austrian speculation, but if it be so in any degree, it is curious to note how, just now, Vienna gets all the kicks of fortune, and Berlin all the sugar-plums.
