QUICK RECOVERY NOTED

NEW YORK, June 7.-Apprehension
regarding the money situation in re-
spect to a possible scarcity of funds
for speculative purposes was discern
ible constantly in the financial dis
trict this week.
Professional traders favoring a con-
tinuation Of the rise in share prices
that has been in progress in recent
months were disconnected Tuesday,
when banks called loans and the rate
on collateral jumped to IL per cent,
new high figure for the year, and
sharp break occurred. during which
some stock sold OF from 10 to II

Gives Rise to Conjecture.
This liquidation gave rise to conjec-
lures as to whether it was enforced
or natural. On the one hand, opinion
was expressed that money-loaning
premise that the speculation had be-
come excessive and unhealthy, and
there were reports that the so-called
money committee would be establish
ed again, with a view to controlling the
situation. On the other hand, it was
pointed out that victory loan and in
come tax payments were consuming
the money ordinarily available for
stock market purposes, and traders
holding this view professed to believe
that the banks were not acting con-
certedly to curb speculation.
There was no confirmation of the
money committee report, and the loan
rate returned to the figure that had
been normal, 6 per cent. and by the
close of the week the losses of Tues
day had been more than recovered,
with prices showing a general upward
trend.

BERLIN. June 7.-Smuggling money
and valuables out of Germany has
been one of the most popular diver
sions Of the idle rich since the ar
mistice and the succeeding revolution.
An estimate of the grand total thus
carted out of the country must needs
be unofficial business bordering upon
guesswork. But financiers to whom
have talked and the smugglers
themselves are agreed that wealth
ranging between 6.o0o.000.o00 and
$1,000, 000.000) has been carried across
the German borders into neutral
countries in the course of the last six
months.
The methods used in removing for
tunes from the clutches of the en-
tente or from seizure by the bolshe-
visits are numerous and peculiar. The
German law that no one is allowed to
take more than fifty marks ($12.50)
out of the country has been OF little
power, but has served to enrich count
less German customs officers serving
on the borders. l know OF one man
who. taking with him a suit case con-
tanning 100000 marks ($1,250, OO0),
paid 100000 marks ($125.000) of his
fortune to two luggage inspectors at
Rentheim on approaching the Holland
border. This method of bribing Of
ficials at the border outposts IS, of
course. the most prevalent.
A banker managed to sneak 3,000.-
600 marks ($750,000) into Holland by
hiring a coal boat and giving the cap
tain of the boat 10 per cent of his
fortune and concealing the suit case
containing the rest of the money un-
der pile of coal on deck The
banker himself accompanied his mil
lions into Holland. working on the
boat as coal HEAVIER. For several
months this scheme of hiding money
in pile of coal on a coal boat has
been widely resorted to- Millions were
carted into Holland in that manner.
Millions Taken in Airplanes.
Millions have also be~o sent into
the neutral countries by airplane. one
aviator boosted to me that he made
100000 marks ($375,0OO) in three
months smuggling fortunes through
the air. -
Il asked only per cent Of the total
Most of the flyers were hoggish and
asked 10 per cent. The government
last month offered the flyers 10 per
cent of any money they would turn
over to it that had been intrusted to
them by rich smugglers. In nearly
all cases the f1iers put the matter up
to the smugglers and received tips
of Is per cent not to turn the fortunes
over to the government. 1t was just
my luck not to be carrying any money
that week"
Until week ago frantic efforts
were made by wealthy Germans to get
their money into Belgium. With the
signing of the armistice Germany
promised to redeem all German marks
in Belgium at par. Minister Erzber-
per uho conducted the armiStice me-
gotiations, forgot in moment of
curious mental alteration to fix the
sum Of German money his government
could redeem. Inasmuch as a Ger
man mark today is worth from to ,
cents instead of rs cents in American
coin, smuggling marks into Belgium
was for a time one of the largest
financial enterprises in Germany. In
