HOW TIE posps GOT on. THE FRENCH STOCK
EXCHANGE ..
Baron G. Boileau, Erenont's brother.in-Iaw,
| had been Fench Consul General IN New York.
and 1t is alleged tha4 he reccrred his s150, 900
for testifying to the French Minister Of
Finance thnt Freront's road wis what it was
represented to DO. To spu1 up this Minister,
| and persuade him TO permit the Fremont bonds
| to quotation upon the French Stock Exchange,
| it was held out TINT Koeehlin L Co., and otGer
French builders and rail1unkers we're ready to
| tnke the bonds for enCiues and iron. Probst,
| tie broker, wrote thus shrewtllE: -
"A prompt solution TO my application to Put the
French contracts should We forfeited, the lnstruc-
| ttons Of tne company would compel me 70 make
ps IN 70 ke 23 %
| French iron market would become useless, and
| doubt that, after 50 notorious failare, other
American companies Wontd not be disposed to give
| their ors1erR for materials In France.
"Yonr Excel1cncy will probably hlspnderstand hoW
| Important 1t IS for The French netalutgJ not to
offered to cur Iron the Un.ted States market. l
confident that you Htl1 grant your good Will
out Of regard for 80 conslderable national In
tereIt."
1t has eince been asce1tained, SAYS sarter,
that neither Eoechliu i Co, nor any other
manufacturer, had agreed to take bonds in
payment End nothing but cham contracts had
been submitted to the FEench Minister.
Sa1ter further ssys Of the iron ordered In Eu-
rope; thst about 1 900 tons hayaauivedin In Now
Orleans, and have bean attsched by the credit
ors Of the Memphis, FL paso. Company. Noue
