The capital was increased to 45.-
 100000 in 1903, to 91,OO0,OOO in 1S4S
 and to 1S2 2,OOO,O0O in 1857, at which
 figure it still remains. The nom
 inal value of the shares is 1.O0C francs, but they are quoted at the Bourse at over 1000 francs. The number of shareholders has increas-
 ed from 13,767 in 1860 to S1,249 in
 1909. One third of these holders do not have more than one share each. Fifty per cent have no more than two shares each.
 The privilege or franchise, of the bank expires December 31, 1920, but will of course, says a writer in Moody's Magazine, be prolonged by the state. The bank has no branches in foreign countries, not even in the French colonies. But there are 12- branches in Frances chief cities and sixty three sub-0ffices in minor cen- tres. The Bank of France does not accept any hills for discounting In- less the latter are created in France or at least, indorsed by two French signatures. all advances of money which it makes must be guaranteed by French securities, themselves guaranteed by the state; ics bank notes are circulated only within the territory. Finally, all the members who make up the general assembly of shareholders. as well IS the gov ernor, the two sub governors and the whole of the employees, who number 6,4o0, must De of French nationality
 The governor of the Bank of France receives an annual salary of 60,000 francs while the two sub-gov- ernors receive only half that amount, 30,000 francs each. These figures will no doubt appear miserable to num- Der of American financiers, who cer- tainly would not be satisfied with that income.
 For all its. national characteristics the Bank of France is a private joint stock establishment, with pri- vate capital. and not an establish ment of the state; that is the req son why it has been able during the Franco German war in 1870 to keep entirely sRfe it's real property. it's metallic reserve and all it's securi- 1 ties as being strictly private.
 The Bank of France has the sole i right to issue banh. notes; this right | was for the first time granted three years after its foundation in 1903, and has been renewed ever since the last propagation dating 1897 for

 It is an interesting point to know how the state has regulated the is-
 sue Of bank notes The Anglo-Am-
 erica1 nations have adopted what
 they call the currency principle, ac-
 cording to which the metallic reserve lis limited to a certain amount of
 capital invested in state securities
 kept ty the banks and the interest of winch constitutes their profit of emission.
 In Germany another principle, merely empirical, has been adopted. The issue of bank notes can reach but out cannot exceed three times the amount of the metallic reserve. lIn France the emission is regulated by what has been termed the bank ing principle. The bank can issue bank notes freely and create to it. self new capital; but the latter can be used only for two banking oper- ations, whence the name banking principle, viz, discOunting bills and advancing money upon securities.
 No bills can be discounted unless payable within three months and signed by three clearly responsible persons, and advances of money are granted only upon first rate secur- ities strictly described by the law. and only. for certain percentage of the securities The bank has there fore the full representation of it's bank notes in short dated, first rate titles and bills of commerce.
 There is consequently no relation between the metallic reserve and the circulation of bank notes. The state modifies. whenever it is necessary, the maximum of emission, which is at the present. moment $500, ,O0O, GOO francs. In fact, the metallic reserve amounted-per the weekly balance sheet of August Ito almost four and quarter billion francs, more than three fourths of it gold.
 In order to secure the enforcement of the regulations, the state has not only general power of control, but' it keeps to itself the exclusive right to appoint the governor and the two sub governors. On the other hand, the state is entitled to portion of the net profits over and above stamp duties and taxes of all sorts which the Bank of France is bound to pay, l just as any other private establish ment of the same kind
 First of all, there is a special l stamp duty on all blank notes; in the year 1908 the amount of money was

 ed and discounted bills.
 In 1907 this royalty reached 7,357,- 900 francs; the total amount of mon- ! ey received by the state on that ac- count from 1897 to the end of 1908, exceeded 55,OOO,OOO francs On the
 whole the taxes which the bank has to pay in exchange for it's privilege. reach about the fourth part of the net profit. Besides, the bank must grant to the state a permanent ad- vance of 1S0.000,000 francs, without receiving any interest-unIess the current account of the state, kept at the bank. is less than the above fig ures and only for the amount want ed to complete the said figures.
 In exceptional circumstances. how ever, the bank may be allowed to lend nearly any amount of money to the state; during the Franco German war the advances of money granted to the French government reached 1.600. 900 francs, which were re- funded in less than eight years.
 Tn two cases only, in 1S4S and 1871, when the bank had to help the state in most exceptional circumstances, and only for as limited period of time, the bank notes had a "cours force" that is to say, could not be exchanged for gold or silver at the bank counters; but the French pub lie understood perfectly we'll that such measure was but temporary and the bank notes in both cases cir culated without losing anything-or indeed very little of their nominal value.
 The ordinary banking business of this establishment is of the most extensive scale. The ''virements" or transfers of credits in 1908 amounted to 17O,OOO,OOO,OOO francs. so that the Bank of France may be considered as the clearing house of the whole French nation. Tn that same year there were 22,000,000 bills discounted and collected, representing 13,0OO,O00,- 900 francs. The very smallest bills down to five francs are accepted by the bank; this makes the establish
