Although the law has given the
bourse the monopoly of dealing in
French rentes, yet the participation
Of the curb in tehse securities has
been tolerated by the government.
No suit is brought against them for
interfering with the business of the
stockholders, but their operations are
not valid in court. This federation is
due to the belief that the credit of
the state is benefited if dealings in
rentes are as free and extended as
possible.
A financial market is of great SER
vice to a nation, because if it did not
exist the public would decline to sub
scribe for securities which it could
not easily dispose of in case of need
of money. The French market, in
the opinion of the author, has full
filled its function as a distributor of
securities only because II has broken
from the shackles imposed by the
earlier laws. In obtaining its free
dom the bourse has been helped, ac-
cording to NJ. Vidal, by the existence
of its enemy, the coulisse, as the fol-
lowing excerpt shows:
rs it possible to imagine a finan-
cial market ersting upon so men, ap-
pointed by the government, who are
forbidden TO do business for their
own account, to have partners or rep
resentauyes. to guarantee their
clients transactions, to negotiate Sc
curities without having first received
the securities from the sellers and
the money from the buyers, and to
quote foreign government securities?
One of two things: Either the pub
lie market will establish itself out
side of these 60 men or these 60 men
will prevent the establishment of the
public market.
1T is the first of these two phe-
nomena which occurred. On the one
hand the coulisse injected into the
public market the activity 1t reuuir-
ed, and, on the other hand, the cor
poartion of the stockholders, profit
ing by the activity, gradually obtain
ed the liberties without the granting
OF which it would have disappeared.
The curb brokers' dealt for future
delivery for their own account and
Tor the account of their customers:
they could negotiate foreign securi-
ties. They transferred their gather
ings from the boulevard to the bourse
and from the bourse to the boulevard
at any hour of the day, or even of the
evening. They charged less for their
services to their customers than the

taxing pattern from the coulissiers
also began to transact time bargains
and to deal in foreign securities. the
authorities granted them all that had
earlier been forbidden to them with
out, however, granting. them the alb
clifton of the coulisse."
EFFECTIVE as the French financial
market is, NJ. Vidal believes it could
oe improved by the abolition of the
monopoly of the stockholders. "If
our own financial market were omen

the profession, it would be stronger
