ANOTHER CREDIT MoBrL1ER cOfIhpsrn.
Tho famous Credit 4no6iltr Francois, the
grand parent and model Of all the kindred as-
sociations nil over tho world, Inns gone the way
of all Its predecessors in the business Of using
other peoples money in speculation. In ta
day tho Credit Afobiicr Of France held q high
position financially. Its sharos were consid-
cred the standard Of tho stock-list. Its off,
ccrB wore regarded a. special obiecta Of favor
by fortune, and wore enviel accordingly. It
was Joint stock company, chartered In 1852,
nnl EMILE and 1aAAu pknEaE were Its lcatl-
ing managers. Though authorized 10 trnns-
net general banking business, its ostcnsible
object waa to facilitate tho construction of
public works and develop national industry.
It had capital Of $12 600. 600, and It's shares
were for $ioO each. 1t had authority to hold
public securities and shares Of N industrial
corporations, anl to issuo it's own bonds to
ten tiinea the amount of its own capital.
This organization Mt onco jumped
into public favor. Its annual dividend
ono year reached II per cent md
until 1857 it averaged II per cent.
Under it's operations tho gas aud omnibus
companies Of Pnris were consolidated, md 1t
became largely interested in railroads in
Auatsia, Spain, RussIa, France, and other
countries. Tie prosperity of the concern
compelled it nt last to accept ali kinds Of en-
terprises. A "Societo 1mmobilier" bought
q tract Of lind at Marseilles, and sold it to al,
English company; new town waa laid ont,
and the frat sto,1e was laid with grcnt ccre-
mony. Tho Credit Mobilicr invested in this
enterprise nearly one-third of its capital, and
not one house has ever been built in the new
town. Other like jobs 10 crippled tie con-
cern that its credit suffered greatly. Some Of
the creditors, If not stockholders, brought
suits against H. PEn1nRE, and these suits led
to m exposure of the condition Of tho Com
pnny. This was in 1867. Daron HAuasnAs
waa thon installed A. chief, and he adopted
the policy of converting oil tho asscts into
money and collcctinpall tho debts. This pr,.
ceeding promised to bo long ono. and, tboon-
erations Of the Company being In the meantime
suspended, II. rn1L1rpAnr, a Belgian tiuancior,
succeeded to tho management. He addressed
himself to compromises with tho creditors
aud debtors, thereby freeing the capital which
was tied up in tho lawsuits. This enabled
the Company to resume business. It 10 han.
pened, however, TINT pur11rrAnr Ind boosted
too much, and ho hold in his hands numerous
small railroad concerns which ho proposed to
consolidate. Flo excited strong opposition,

The PaImXra palm

The Palmyra palm (Borassus habelli-
formis) is the most CONNER species of
palm in India, growing in many dis
tricts spontaneously and in others being
extensively cultivated. In the Island Of
Ceylon vast forests are composed Of this
tree. 1t is one Of the fan-pslms; and, at
the hight of from twenty-five to forty, or
even sixty feet, bears a magnificent
crown Of leaves, each about four feet
long, with a stalk Of the same length,
and from seventy to eighty rays. The
tree furnishes many valuable products
for the use Of the natives, such as fruit,
wine, oil, thaching, cordage and timber;
but one Of the most importanto of the sub
stances yielded by it ia a material for
writing. From time immemorial the
Hindoos have used the leaf Of the Pal
myra palm al q substitute for paper;
and much of their most precious litera-
ture has been recorded upon it.
The long, smooth, polished spaces be.
tween the rays are excellently adapted
to the needs Of the writer or graver, and
are very durable. In making up a book
the narrow, straight slips are pierced
with a hole 10 the center, through which
a string is passed, and thus the pages or
strips are hung together. Many Of the
sacred books Of the Hlndus have been
made in this way and have borne very
rough usage for many centuries. The
writings is executed with a sha . iron
style and is engraved upon both sides
Of the page. In some parts Of In.
dis palm.lOaves still serve the pur-
pose Of paper; and letters written upon
the slips, and afterwards neatly rolled
together, are frequently sent through the
postoiiees. This is especially the case
in O%rissao, in Gond country, and in the
south part Of India. In writing the style
is held in the right hand by the thumb,
10 a most constrained position, the little
finger acting as q fulerum. The art Of
writing rapidly in this manner is rarely
acquired by Europeans.

The market this morning was quiet
and unchanged, with fair offerings, but
a light demand, and limited transactions
owing to the dark and gloomy weather.
Estimated sales for the day, 1000 bales
sales yesterday footed up 900 bales, in.
GLIDING 400 TO exporters and 500 to spin
uers. New York spots we're dull, with
lower grades heavy and lower to sell, and
