This term refers, of course, to the holdings of the indivi- dual, which are more evenly diffused in France than in any other civilized country.

About | 14,000 of these have fortunes of from | 8193,000 to $380,000; of the remain- ing 6,000 only about 100 have from | 82,000,000 to 210,000,000 each, { in all France there are not more than | ten persons whose property is valued at $19,000,000 or over.
