PARIS, Feb 8, 1919
The Botrse awd Money Market
The Bourse renamed, up to Friday, the 18th ult.,
n a state Of the most complete stagnation. On
that day modification took place; IN consequence
OF the report Of M. Grevy, and the fears excited
by the debates In the Assembly, the funds fell
suddenly, but, Notwithstanding their fall, little
business was done. The Bourse of Saturday, the
9th, closed on a falling marxet, with anxiety
much more general than during the preceding
week, on the question OF the dissolution of the
Assembly, and our financial position. Bank shares
alone resisted the general tendency to decline, and
were firm On the Thursday preceding, the report
of the Bank tor the last six months OF 1913, pre-
stnted 10 the shareholders, and showed satlsfac.

stagnution OF commercial affairs, BY that report
1t appeared that the protested bills, which In the
month oil May, 1913, amounted to AZ millions, h ad
been reduced 10 II millions, and was progressively
decreasing.
On the vote OF the decree by the Assembly, for
the formation OF the High Court of Justice, for the
trial OF The accused OF the 18th May, 1t was sup
posed that the cabinet was assured OF some ma

The Assembly soon put an end To their hopes
Two PROPOSITIONS, the one by M. B,llault and
The other by so members of opposition, tr,umphed,
spite OF all the resistance Of the government, aud
threw into confusion the deliberations and plans
OF the Committee and Minister of Finance. The
FIRST proposition had tor Its object to determine the
amount OF the receipts of lS49, and to compel the
Minister TO conform his expenditures 10 that
smount; The second, to appoint a committee of
80 members, 10 supersede the committee, and the
Minister Of Finances 10 supersede that com
mittee, composed of the most enlightened the
most practical OF the financial statesmen of France
OF men, such as MN. Theirs, Leon Faucher, But

This did not tend 10 raise the funds. The Bourse
testified its opinion in Its usual manner; 1t sold
and after this operation anxiOusly inquired to what
point the mutual hOstiles of the Assembly and the
Ministry could lead the finances of the country.
Besides the contortioDs OF the great powers OF the
state, The masses began to threaten to overthrow
one or the other of the cOntendng parties In this
extremity. the credit OF France appeared on the
point y berg completely swallowed up. On Mon
day, the 18th, occurred the great military demon
straton Oh the government, having for its object
the defeating of the conspiracy whose ram,fica-
tons spread INTO all the departments. The rappel
was ceaten, and the National Guards and the army
descended into the streets, ready to do battle to
the dlsturbers OF order. The foresight and skill
and prudence OF the Ministry re- assured the public
mind, and the Bourse has felt all the effects of
which closed on the 9Th at 74f Soc, have since
nearly touched eOf, and there Is an apparent firm
ness in the market.
The Bourse appeared to consider that the 10Th
settled the question between the Assembly and the
Executive, and it has gwen little attention to the
resistance-the obstacles thrown in the way OF the
Ministry by the Assembly. The large majority of
one hundred and two on the vote OF confidence in
the Minlstry-the vote az to the dissolution on the
proposition LanJuinais-the violence of the discus.
siOns on the part OF the Mountaln--all have made
little or no impression on the market. A prospect
ct a better order OF things Is now afforded. Il 10
hoped that the greatest perils are past, and that
affairs will once more soon resume something like
their usual course.

Inttrestimg Intcliigence--Impmtant Movement
The Germa~,c Empve-7he Difficulties in effect
,mg an Union-Awstria and Russia against
Prussia, Re. &c. &c.
The policy OF the cabinets of Austria and Prus-
sia, with regard to the "German question:" is no
longer a mystery Two official notes, issued
within fortnight, from the governments at Wen
ma and here, have enlightened the world on the
views and opinions entertained by these cabinets
with respect to the proposed union of the States of
Germany. The Prusslan note, to which alluded
IN my last letter, objects TO the form OF 4 union
the National Assembly at Frankfort, but invites
the different governments to negotiate between the
States and that Assembly for a settlement on that
question. Thus far, it at least expresses
And though the Sa Of the avo%s
en- the part OF the Prussiar government, to
promote the "unity of Germany" Is question
ed by many, the note contains nothing from
which we might infer that Prussia was I'm willing
to JOIN union OF the States, provided her interests
do not suffer by it, But the Austrian note, ad-
dressed to The central power, is complete death
blow TO The unity OF Germany, the ccnstl;
tuition, the National Assembly, the central
power, and all tor, unless the very crisis. which
is now brought on, in consequence OF the declara-
tcDs made by Austria, PRODUCES a reaction IN favor
OF a union, with the exclusion OF that State,
not come to pass-at all events, not for the
present. The note from the Austrian govern
ment dlsavows the right OF the National As
sembly 10 frame constitution which IS 10
be adopted by all the States in Germany. IL de-
mes thattan intimate union would promote the ln-
ieres cts OF the German nation, but maintains that

prosperity Of Germany and therefore advises the
RESTORATION u the Germanic confederation, which
established a treaty of alliance between all the
States. The sensation which this note has pro-
duced, not only IN this capital but throughout Ger.
many, is profound and the first impression seems
TO be, that If the Prussian eOverUme mt really In
tends to adhere to a union, 1t Processes to do in
the note lately issued, a complete rupture with
Austria is inevitable. The Austrian note contains
several illusions to the part Prussia has acted IN
the usgi-comt dy, called the Regeneration of
Germany which are stated to have given
much offence. am informed, moreover,
good authority, that the regulations be-

vious letter, had already led to an agreement on
certain points, have been suspended, In conse-
one nee OF proposals recently made by Austria. To
Incre ase The arprehensions which are entertained
OF the possibility OF hosilities with Austria, we
have news to- day that an augmentation OF the Aus
trlaD army has just been determined upon; and It
is reported that these preparations on the part OF
Austria are by no means to provide tor the chance
OF a war in Italy or with France. A treaty be-
tive en- Austria, Russia and Bavaria against Prus-
STA and the other States at Germany, II is almost
universally believed, Is about being concluded, tor

States. France aid England, II Is we'll known,
