de Carignan, from whom John Law
rented the Hotel dc Scissors, was one of
the few figures In the mad speculation
which occurred In France in 1870, to
make a fortune and keep 1t. In renting
the building he stipulated that the gar
dens remain In his control and that he be
granted a monopoly to the extent that
dealings In Mississippi stock be legal
only within the confines of his grounds.
He erected five hundred small tents and
pavilions for the use of workers and
their clients. and ii is estimated that his
rentals for space in the garden netted
linn monthly an average of over $4,000"
