The economic unrest has continued in France during the week.
There has not been so much violence as before, though Charleville and Creil are in great disorder. In Paris the General Confederation of Labour has quite failed to stir up riots. But the unrest now affects every part of France and causes anxiety for the coming winter. Last Saturday the President of the Paris Municipal Council summoned a meeting of the heads of the food trades. The representatives undertook to charge no more for the necessaries of life than the condition of the market justified. They suggested, the Times correspondent says, that a table of prices should be issued daily and should be strictly enforced. Meanwhile the various trades are drawing up statistics in order to prepare the table of prices. The repre- sentatives generally condemned the remedies of the Govern- ment which we recorded last week. They pointed out, for instance, that the importation of colonial cattle on a large scale would not be practicable until proper cattle-ships were built.
