BERLIN, Feb. 15.-The precarious
financial condition in which Germany
finds herself finds striking illustra-
tion in the decision of the Reichstag to
permit savings banks and cooperative
societies, in making up their annual
balance sheets, to enter the German
war loans at figure higher than their
present value of 77.50 in the market.
This action was taken to prevent ap-
parent deficits on the years operations
which legally would necessitate the in
stitution of bankruptcy proceedings.
Bankers here recall that the Swiss
Government recently adopted a similar
exemption in the case of mortgage
banks doing business in Germany
These banks held many mortgages in
South Germany, the interest on which
is payable in marks. The returns have

Sentiment in Wall Street fluctu-
ates with the market. When prices
are going down, the majority are
pessimistic and can see nothing
ahead but still lower prices. When
prices are rising they go to the other
extreme and become absurd opti-
mists. That happened on Friday
afternoon. Merely because the de-
cline had been checked, some trad
ers and brokers became 80 exceed
ingly cheerful as to predict a bull
market in the immediate future. AS
suming that the bottom has been
reached-which a good many shrewd
observers doubt--a sharp recovery
of prices might easily take place.
But real bull market is practically
out Of the question at this time, for
one reason because the business out
look is too uncertain with the effects
CT the slump in foreign trade still to
be felt and, for another, because the
funds wherewith to finance a big
speculative movement would not be
Forthcoming. That the Federal Re-
serve Board still frowns on specu-
lation, whether in stocks or COM
modities, is evident from the re-
marks made by Henry E. Moehlen-
pah, Of the Federal Reserve Board,
in addressing meeting of bankers
last week. Mr.. Moehlenpah declared
that the "war. financially, has just
begun" and said that "every loan
should be analyzed and scrutinized
to the end that every dollar should
