Letter from the administrator Naudon to the General Commander of the Algiers Division, in Sidi-Aissa, June 26, 1940

This letter mentions abnormal purchases of sheep by natives foreign to the commune at the Sidi-Aissa market. There is a rumor that the 100 and 1000 franc banknotes were going to lose all value and that it was necessary, for example, to invest them in sheep purchases. This movement caused an unusual rise in beef sector prices.
