Uefore th war French Government or Municipal Bonds were quoted at par. Tlie French investor paid 10,000 franca for a 10.000-frane bond. B-fore the war French monpy or French franca were worth their full gold value. The par value of the French franc is 19-1 cent ia terma of Canadian or American money. Consequently before the war 10,000 French francs were worth ? 1,030.00 ia a dollar currency. Today the French franc i corjidrably Mow par. It ia worth around 4 eenla. Consequently 10,000 French franca are worth around $40000 in a dollar currency today. A few months ago the franc waa worth only 1.93 cents; then 10.000 francs were worth only 5193.00. But the franc is recovering ra)ii!y. Its value is increasing. Hi becoming dearer in terras of a dollar currency. The total amount of the City of Paris 5 loan of 1919, the bonds of which we recommend tofar-rigbted investor, was issued in denominations of i00 franca. In other words all the bond. that make up the Luan are 500-franc bonds. Cily of Paris bonds are not quoted at par at the present time. Therefore to buy lOZK) franea i.e. twenty r.00-franc bonds, in the "i Loan of 1910 the investor doe not have to pay the exchange value of 10.000 franca French money.

Not long aco a Canadian Government V ictory bond wai quoUd at 02. In o'Jier words a 51000-bot.d could be bought for 8920.00.

City of Paris bonds always find a ready market, They can be sold again instantly for iqiot uh at any time through our house. We recommvud. City of Paris 5 bonds not only for the opportunities for profits which they present, but clo because of tho attractive interest income they return. This interest is jid by means of coupons which can be cashed at any bank in the world at the prevailing rate of exchange. '.v . -V Kvtry twenty 500-rranc l)Onds ("laOOO f rancs) : of ' the City ot Paris 5 Loan return an interest incyine;of 500 francs per annum. This interest is paid semi-atinually, 250 franea on February 1st and 250 francs on August 1st. As the value of the frano rises iLeeo'Uiterest wmponS. also increase in value, thus giving investors a larger yield on the original investment. The interest coupous can bo converted into American or Canadian money at any bank in North America. We cash interest coupons for clients without charge. Another exceptionally attractive feature of these bonds is the provision for tho payment of various bonuses at the drawings which take place six times a year until the loan lias been completely redeemed (19S0). Thoso who have their bonds redeemed with any of the major bonuses will find themselves made comparatively wealthy through their investment of a few dollirs today. These bonuses are. fully deTihcd elsewhere. i hat the French franc will return to its old gold value if 19.3 cent or $1,03(100 per 10,000 franca is the contention of many of France's moat prominent stateKmeii and financier!.

The women have no quarrel with tha one aspect of the law: they only object to the Injustice ot lta other aide.

Van-I couver, France Is now pursuing a policy of deflation which can have only one result: a rising exchange rate. The recuperative powers of the French people were well established after the Franco-Prussian war. Although JL burdened with huge indemnities France quickly put her j J financial house in order and paid off all her obligations. French Government bonds which had depreciated to 7 of their normal value during tho period of depression, rapidly recovered their losses and soared above par.
