NEW YORK COFFEE.
A BLUE SKY LAW" FROM
FRANCE.

Copyright l9lc by c. NJ Ke,s. New York,
Quite n while ago a special committee
was appointed bv the French government
to investigate what could be done to stop
fraudulent or misleading statements in
prOspectuses OF bonds, stocks and other
securities offered to the public The
appointment of the committee was the
result of a few more or less important
scandals and an agitation stirred up to
induce tn" government to take seine
actual steps to stop the issue of pros
pectuscs that were not truthful.
This CcmmittC" made its report and the
government then formulated a bill which
il will probably hav" enacted into Law
before very long. IT," rules which Tn"
French government has found it wise to
promulgatr are startling to an Am'ri-
can mind; but nevertheless they may be
worth outlining as an example OF the eN-
tent to which foreign government seems
likely to go To- stop fraudulent financing.
The following are the principal items in
the bill:
a. Every prospectus must be vouched
for as true by tie promoters. and must
be signed by the house issuing it.
C2) The house that is issuing the Sc
curitics must assume this responsibility
directly. and may not use another per-
son as a nominee.
90 1t is forbidden 10 state. as is no"
the custom. that an official quotation will
be applied for.
CD No name Of 4 bank may be men
toned with view to deriving credit
therefrom. without the written consent
of the bank.
90 The prospectus must contain all the
information uecessar! 70 enable the pub
lie to form a correct idea of the financial
position.
90 All the terms of the issue must be
printed in the body Of the prospectus
and must be precise in detail.
II this bill bee. mes a law, the practice
of floating securities under 1t will be rad
ically different from the American praC-
tice In this country practically no pros
pectuses are guaranteed as to accuracy
by the house that issues them. Most II
them, in fuct. contain The 92t statement
