Paris, Sept. 20.
The repercussions of recent European events on France's finances were dealt with today by M. Paul Marchandeau, the Finance Minister, during a speech at the banquet given by the French Provincial press.
He declared that the repercussions were superficial and temporary, and were due to the fact that many French citizens wanted to get ready cash; therefore there was somewhat of a run on financial institutions. Simultaneously, notes in circulation increased sharply.
