GERMANY'S FAILURES.
They Are Said to BE Due Almost
Wholly to Criminal Practices.

BERLIN, July ia director of one of
the most famous private banks in Berlin
said to-day to a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press: 1.-The existing situation is
due more TO the crimes of a few directors
of banks and industrial companies than to
the industrial status. Those crimes have
had the effect of spreading an exaggerated
fear among the public of a great crash. but
we are confident that the worst has passed
and we do not expect any more great fail
ures. Immediately after the failure Of the
Leipsiger Bank the boerse was thich with
rumors of impending insolvencies. affecting
even the Berlin banks. These rumors all
proved to be false, and we are certain that
all the large Berlin banks are perfectly
sound. The statements about the with
drawal of French capital from German in
vestments grossly exaggerated. We
hold immense sums of French capital thus
invested. and we have not been ordered to
sell a thousand marks worth since the
crisis began. The present situation grew
largely out of the over-rapid extension of
Industrial establishments, some of which
are not yet completed, and many of which
are not profitable. All these subject such
companies TO great strain, and several
years will be required for them to reach
profits again. Many small but thoroughly
sound concerns are also in danger through
the curtailment of banking credits which
they have been accustomed to use for
working expenses"
Directors of other banks, when inter-
viewed on the subject. took less cheerful
view. Several asserted that the crisis had
not yet run its course, and that other
failures were 10 be expected soon.
The latest statement of the Reichsbank
has made an unfavorable impression, but
has not affected the boerse. 1t Is under
stood that the large increase in deposits,
90, 600 marks, is due TO Withdrawals from
provincial banks for deposit with the
Reichsbank. The Reichsbank continues
heavy discounting in Saxony.
