TIE H. C. MURRAY CC.
FRANCE TO ESTABLISH
 A COMMERCIAL REGISTER
To Provide Standing Records of Every
 Foreign Mercantile House.

Paris, Dec. 22.-The government has proposed a law establishing a com mercfal register to provide standing records of the origin, character end nationality of every foreign merchant or corporation, or every French house located abroad and doing business m France. It is proposed that a re s'star be kept by the clerk of every conner cial court.
 Firms and joint stock companies must declare the nationality of eaah member, with details of natHraiiza ion, if any. Corporations having branc les ragencies in France must register the nationality of their French mana gers. In addition to this general in formation particular details will he required as to marriage contracts ;i1 cases where such documents enter into the basis of a merchants credit, anI as to previous liquidations, bankrup cies. etc.
 One of the effects of the law, 1I- though such is not declared oy the government to be its object, will be to prevent subjects of countries now at war with France doing business hcl e after hostilities cease under firm name that would conceal their real origin.

These same men were Inak- ing small canals through the hard snow from the middle of the road to the gutter so that the water from the streets could fl-7d place to run off.

VESSEL SOLD FOR 200
 TIMES HER FORMER VALUE
Bought for 1,5o0 Pounds While Stranded on South American Ccast

London, Dec. 22.-A vessel has just been sold for 200 times Ter value sev- eral years ago. As q shipping invest ment the deal represents the largest profit made during the war.
 A few years ago British steamer which had stranded on tlle South American coast was sold, as she fay, to neutrals for 1,500 pounds. The pur- chasers had her renoated and repaired and employed her in trade. She las now been resold for "23.C30 pounds, being 200 times the price paid for her as a wreck.
 This price takes no account of the cost of salving and repairing the ship, but presumably these expenses would have been amply covered by her earn ings since she was salved, including two years of extremely high frcights The present price merely represents the current value of tonnage.
