AT VERY Low EBB

LONDON, June ga dispatch to
the Daily Mail from The Hague says
that the exchange rate on the German
mark in Holland rose yesterday to
1895 guilders. The correspondent re-
fers to the statement Of the Frankfurt

dications that the next returns of the
imperial bank of Germany will show a
considerable decrease In the stock of
