Owing to the delay in the peace negotia- tions and to the growing stringency of the money market, and to some extent perhaps to the end of the year, the full in trade has become more marked and there is a total lack of enter- prise both on the various stock exchanges and in business generally. The textile and uvial industries are still fully oeen- pied for months ahead and the demand for the raw materials such as cotton, wool, iron. etc. continues active, but fresh orders are coming in more slowly, The economic aition of Germany. in spite of the momentary searcity of money, remains the whole satisfactory, the harvests having turned out much better than expected, which has stimulated the home trade, but firms dealing with the Balkan States are beginning to feel the effects of the war more acutely as time goes on, for not only is the moratorium decreed by the governments of those countries keeping then cut of their money for goods sold breviously, but numerous failures amongst their customers, many of whom no doubt are glad to take advantage of the occasion to get rid of their abilities, are causing them heavy losses, leading in some cases tu a suspen- sion of payments. The mobilization in the amount required for the service of the Austria by calling away thousands of unified and lottery debts has hitherto workmen and a large number of employes been so great that there would seem to be deficit.

SAVINGS BANK DETURNS.
The latest returns of the saving banks withdrawals show
unusually heavy which may be accounted for by the scar- city of money (short loans being now worth from 8 to 9 per cent), the general activity in business having pat a great strain on the financial resources of small and great. Strange to say that in spite of the past year having, up to a very cecent date, been a prosperous one, shop keepers in this town are by no means
