yiENNA, 30th September. Warrants have been issued for the arrest of-Goldstein and Neumann, directors of the Vienna Deposit Bank, and Castiglioni, the ex-president, has been ordered to appear in Court. Castiglioni has had a remarkable career in recent years, and became known as the Stinnes, or, alternatively, tho Bottomley, of Southern Europe. He made an immense fortune during and after the war out of the collapse of the Austrian exchange. He had interests in banks in seven countries, owned four paper mills and five Vienna newspapers, arid had big holdings in steel, electrical! naphtha, shipping, and textile companies. When the slump came Castiglioni hastily resigned 'from tho presidency of the deposit bank, which other banks refused to assist, on the ground that its balance-sheet was misleading. Castiglioni has been located in Trieste. He indignantly denies that he fled from Vienna, and says ho is engaged in important financial transactions, and will return to .Vienna when these are completed.
