Paris, May 3, M.

POWER OF NEWSPAPER ADVERTISEMENTS.

An

Sir Alfred Robbins ent- phasised the value of news-

advertising, in paper address on "Publicity and Profit," at the luncheon on May 10th of the London Com- mercial Club, held at the Trocadero Restaurant.

"From a long experience," Bald Sir Alfred, who was for many years London editor of the Birmingham Post, "I" believe there is no means of reaching the general public which in any way equals, for permanent effect and there- fore for profit-that of adver- tising in the newspaper."

Nothing was more damaging to business than to make promises in advertising which Stopping were not fulfilled.

the advertisement had also begun the process of decay in many businesses, because, if the public missed an adver- tirement to which they were accustomed they soon forgot the commodity which had been advertised.

E V. MR. de SOUBA,

It cannot be too clearly explain- ed that this victory is not the re- suit of a "system," but of cautious play, an iron self-control, and of a sort of instinct that a player of thin type, whose object is not to get pleasure and excitement, but to make small wins, can gradually acquire. M. Rigal's example is not to be recommended to tourists No one can or casual players. "break the bank" or win any large sum by his method. Ile will give another demonstration on Satur- day.

IMPORTANT FRANCO- GERMAN BANKING MOVES.

Paris, May 3. The Governor of the Bank of France, M. Moreau, has left for Berlin to confer with Herr Schacht, President of the German State Bank, The impression prevalls here that important financial opera- tions are at present being discussed chiefly at Paris, of which the stabilisation of the French frane, and the Roumanian lei are by no means the only toples. -

The recent meeting at the Bank of France of delegates from all the leading banks of Europe and America, coinciding with the visit| of M. Moreau to London and New York, and Mr. Parker Gilbert to Paris and Rome, lends colour to this supposition.
