THE socIETE De pUNIoN GENERALE.

A good deal of curiosity has been ex-
cited as to the nature and character oil
the institution whose recent suspension
caused q panic in Paris. The Societe de
PUnion Generate, of No. 8 Rue d. Antin,
Paris, with numerous provincial branch
establishments, was started about TWO
years ago, about the time of the Jesuit
expulsiOns. It's originator and presl-
dent, Eugene BontouX, was for several
years the manager of all the railroads
in the southern division of Austria,
then, as now, controlled by the Roths-
childs, and u considered one of the most
brilliant and dashing financiers OF the
Continent. AS a result of his manage
ment of the Austrian roads their stock
fell Cff'to almost nothing, and he was
forced TO resign. At that time the prop
erty belonging to the Roman Catholic
Church was being converted into money,
and BOntouX prevailed upon the custo-
dams ofthese funds to take a leading
interest in his scheme, and number OF
Iegitimist noblemen composed the
board of directors. The institution be-
came the depository for most of the re-
ligious institutions throughout France,
the money being used in speculation.
provinces and even in foreign countries,
lie Banque de Lyons ct du Lore ut lty-
ons was one Of the latest. Other branch
es, two or three in number, were estao-
lished in Austria. The shares OF all
these branch banks were held by the
Union Generate, whose clever manlpu-
lation of the BOurSe soon ran their mar
ket prices up TO handsome premium.
Then the shares were sold and the profit
went into the Golfers of the Partisan
bank. This institution had a capital of
lO0,OCO,000 francs originally, and Its
shares, of par value of 500 francs, on
January sold as high ASP, O2O francs, on
the stOck-iObbing rumor that Peters
pence had been invested therein by the
Pope, and the announcement that the
concern had been SO successful that no
more than the first instalmeat Of 10
francs a share, already paid on the 800,
would be demanded.
A report that NJ. Bontoux had tele-
2raphed on Wednesday TO New York
enormous offers of Union Generate pa
per, together with an official denial Of
the rumOr about the Peters pence, and
bear raid, headed by the Rothschilds,
caused the decline, which, on Thursday
last, when the LYONS branch failed, eX-
tended from 2,3eO francs to 300 francs.
There was also q rumOr Ofan Oyer-issue
of the stock at almost fabulous prices,
but this was not confirmed. The con-
Germ will collapse completely, it is
thought, if it cannot meet the February
settlements. The Union Generate has
made statement of its affairs and al
lowed an examination of its books,
showing that it owes large sum to all
thorized brokers of the BOurse, but that
still more is due it from dealings with
the Petite B0mse. Financial establish
mcnts will make advances to the Union
on security OF stock certificates. Settle
mcnt On the new shares is postponed
two months.
