The government condition figure was
73.5, compared with IS last month, GIL

figures 1t pointed TO a crop of l5,5OO,O 600

GERMAN EXCHANGE
OFF ON WAR NEWS
Bankers Hasten to Unload Mark
EXchange-GOld Committee
IS RetiCent.

An unusually frce Offering of credits
on German institutions drove exchange
rates for both check and cable marks
down to 90 yesterdays marks for %
oeuts-and caused considerable spec
ulation i'm the Street as to what news
lad been received from abroad to pro-
woke the hasty unloading. The only
explanation offered in exchange circles
for the break was that the dispatches
of the last few days have seemed TO
indicate the probability Of new with
Grawal movement by the German
troops In France. and if such q move
mcrt is carried out German funds may
seem less desirable to have than to
sell.
The sterling exchange market was
also somewhat lower. demand getting
down TO 4.95 and cables TO 49Gli.
Franc exchange remained unchanged,
al j.07 for demand and SOC for cables
Because Of the rcticence Of the COM
nnttce managing the gold pool il could
not be learned how large was the total
OF applications for demand exchange
yesterday. the first day of receiving
them. James s. Alexander, chairman
OF the committee that has the sale in
charge, said there had been fair
amount Of demand, but the committee
had decided not to give out any de-
tailed information, either with regard
to the price at which allotments were
made, the amount disposed of or the
amount applied for.
The first allOtments were made late
IN the afternoon at session Of the
committee which lasted for almost an
hour and a half Deliveries will be
made to-day, upon payment by certified
checks drawn on New York banks.
Thus none Of the exchange sold yes
terday could be delivered in time for
to-day's steamer.
Ii was said yesterday that one Of
the reasons why the committee had to
meet no great rush of exchange lay
i'm the unwillinCness of those with re-
mittanccs to make to submit TO the in
QUESTION required by the application
FORMS. Another was the tendency 10
wait and find out what the committees
policy was and how liberal it would
be i'm the matter of rates. II is be-
cause the committee is afraid that
there Will be trading against its rates
that il does not make its allotmcnts
until late in the afternoon and re-
quIrcs payment before 1890 O'Clock Of
the following day, or before the eX-
change market for that day is prop
erly open.
