Note 123 — Chapter X · THE PARIS BOURSE; A MONOPOLY UNDER GOVERNMENT
Reading edition
Provincial bourses in France are divided into two classes—those with parquets, and those without them. Bourses with parquets are those at Lyons, Bordeaux, Marseilles, Nantes, Toulouse, and Lille. The Minister of Finance is in control of these parquet bourses, while the Minister of Commerce controls those that have no parquet.
