IN December resulted in considerable IN
crease ia Germany's gold stock. About ~,
o0O 900 marks went to England, but more than

was compelled to send gold instead, Further
more. the British banks refused to prolong the
Russian drafts, thus rendering r;mUtanCos
from Russia to London necessary. These were
