"An improvement," says the Constitutionnet, "is
(it is said) to be shortly made io the service of the Rents.
The Minister of Finance hu it in contemplation to submit
kith, Emperor the draft of a decree having for its object to
create a particular kind of nominative inscriptions of Route,
to which would be attached coupons of interest payable to
bearer. Those new inscriptions would have o►er those
which are simply nominative this advantage, that this
holder would not be obliged to present them himself or
send them, io order to receive the quarterly interest. He
would only have to cut off the coupon, on the production of
which the payment could be effected in all the departments
of the empire. It follows se a matter of course that sock
fundholder would be at liberty to choose the hind of title
which suited him best."
