and discount-houses, and notwithstanding the com-
mercial community are enabled to obtain the
accommodation required, they are not offered such
extensive facilities as they were a fortnight ago.

tiate a, loan sufficiently extensive for the various
objects in view. It is stated that M. Mires has sue-
