AN ABUSE ENDED.

The new order makes an end of what was becoming an abuse of the clearing certificate system. In many instances latterly it has been, possible to purchase at an enhanced price a certificate from the retail dealer.

This modeure would in both cases tend to withdraw from circulation within the territorial limits of the respective Republica all coins. at least in silver, under 31. pieces. I have noticed lately in some of the large dry goods stores in Paris postage stamps ten- dered to buyers as change instead of money, and in shops also little cardboard vouchers are sometimes given in change, but the tension is not at pent severely felt (writes the Paris correspondent of the Daily Telegraph).
