It is reported in Paris that an amalgamation is
_n
entemplation between the Credit Mobilier and the
Zeleto Immobiliere, the main reason of which is the
t4ll.lllnity of interest between them. The Mobilier,
148 Urged, has 80,000,000 f. due to it from the Immo-
ere, besides being a holder of 56,000 of its shares,
s,
and 113,000 obligations. Being thus a creditor and a
.111,oare.holder it is deemed expedient that the Credit
fleotalier should absorb the entire enterprise. The
IlieFt, however, is said to present to the minds of
• (le Germiny and some of his colleagues con-
slderable difficulty in respect to the adjustment of
terms.
