BERLIN SEES A GREAT
FINANCIAL STRUGGLE.
Germans Excited Over Introduction

of American Ways.
Berlin, Aug. 1O.-The struggle on the
Berlin Boerse over the shares of the
Hfbernia Coal Company is the sensa-
tton of the day here. The newspapers
devote leading articles to the subject.
calling attention TO the spectacular
features. 1t is a new experience for
Germany to see great banks engaged
IN fight to get control of an i'm
mense property, accompanied by
threats of one party to Gust the old
directors and elect their own men. The
German market hitherto has associated
such phenomena exclusively with Wall
street finance.
An interesting feature of the present
contest is that the Prussian govern
ment is the power behind the throne,
its offer, July 49, to acquire the Hiber-
MIA Company's vessels having precipi-
tated an intense warfare between the
two groups of bankers for the COM
pany's shares. The Dresdner Bank
and its dependencies represent the gov
ernments interests. All the other great
banks of the city under the leadership
of the BleichroderS and the Berliner
Handrelsgesellch unite in resist
ance to the governments offer.
The shares stood at about 200 on
June 10. They touched 26SR to-day.
Other coal shares have risen thirty to
forty points this month.
In the meanwhile the Dresdner Bank
continues acquiring shares for the gov
eminent, claiming that it already has
2O,000,O0O of a total of SO ,500,0 900.
