cause there is no business except few
small deals by fourth rate professional
hour by-hour spectators. To-day the
Paris money market is oversensitive

Leading bankers are regularly and
persistently calling in all available
French funds from abroad, and consid-
cradle anxiety is expressed lest this
monetary crisis may bring about an
economic crisis by cutting off credit
for Industrial enterprises, thus produc-
ing a paralysis Of trade and commerce.

lowing the councils of conservative

all business and boards its gold and sill
