PARIS, Jan. IL, lsi9.
The Bourse-Momey Market-Commrce.
The settlement which took place on the 3lst
leads us to the conviction of frmness in the
public funds. 1t was not overcharged with de-
hveries. The combinations were in many cases
done at par.
1t was supposed that from rs francs the five per
cents would rise some two or three francs. This
supposition was well founded, for, during the fol-
lowing three days, a rise did take place, as will
be seen by the list Of prices which / subjoin !;
tinued at that level, or in all probability would
have advanced, If other causes than any to be
found In the market had not operated to check the
upward movement. The silence IN the National
Assembly as to the resignation of M. de Mallevlle
was very satisfactory at the Bourse.
1t appeared to be understood to leave the first
steps Of the new government free and uneni-
barrafsed, and not to profit by Its inexpenence.
This moderation of the Assembly treasured the
Bourse, and favored the rise of securities The
parliamentary proof which was to try the strength
OF the Ministry was waited for with Impotence.
Unfortunately, the majority which it obtained on
the question OF primary and secondary instruction
was not sufficiently decisive to put the question
at rest, and left SPECTATORS Ignorant of it's real
strength, and uncertain OF the morrow.
This was the universal feeling. From the day
OF that sitting we had every, succeeding. day ru-
mors OF dissolution of the Ministry
- n r rs well founded m Or leaaa hen
ticated, but still with enough OF probability to
create anxiety everywhere, and keep down prices.
The reduction OF the salt duties and the budget
we've forgotten, for the political position OF the
versatIOns repeated, faslied, invented, often void
OF common sense as to the ministerial Crisis, were
everywhere circulated Menaced with a cabinet
of the republicans Of the Vellle, the Bourse was
days before assigned as the lowest.
1t was at last known that interpretations could
De put as to the resignation OF M, de MaleWlle.
Many spectators, not to be taken unawares by the
disclosures expected to be made, became sellers.
The next day, contrary to all expectation, 90 i'm
possible is it, at the present time, to form any sound
judgment by anticipation, the demands on the
Bourse were numerous, the market was firm, and
''prlmes" were freely offered, based, it was al
legged, on the speedy and sure advent to the Minis
try OF MN. Theirs, Mole, and Bugeaud, and on
the attitude taken by the Barrot ministry, on the
discussion as to the retirement OF M. De Malleve.
The duration OF the present Ministry would, per-
haps, be more favorable to the improvement Of the
market, than any sudden or extreme change. How
that may be- the apprehensons of the fall OF the
Barrot Ministry, by causing fall of from one to
two francs, has induced many Spectators to take
course something like selling the bears skin be-
fore they had caught him.
regret TO have nothing better to announce than
the result Of these changes in the Cabinet-of
these ,mbrog,os Of the various parts of the govern
of these trials of the swlng.bridge, so fatal
to the restoration OF business, that more certain
future, and one to be more assuredly calculated
on, would encourage the money market through
out the country. The Bourse now desires, and
with It all the financial and commercial world, that
the President OF the republic and the Assembly
would agree to pass three or four of the important
organic laws, and then that the latter body should
give place 10 the Legislative Assembly.
