It is reported in Paris that an amalgamation is
centemplation between the Credit Mobilier and the
ociete Immobiliere, the main reason of which is the
it"thlunity of interest between them. The Mobilier,
is urged, has 80,000,000 f. due to it from the Immo-
and biliere, besides being a holder of 56,000 of its shares,
113,000 obligations. Being thus a creditor and a
.s.a_areholder it is deemed expedient that the Credit
Blobilier should absorb the entire enterprise. The
rcject, however, is said to present to the minds of

e verminy and some of his colleagues con-
Bluer
, able difficulty in respect to the adjustment of
Lerins.
