MARKS FOR SALE
Millions OF Them Arc Being Offered
At Low Prices In New York

New York, Dec. 81. Millions of
German paper marks, valued in the
neighborhood Of half a cent each,
have been offered to banks and indi-
vduals in the United States within
the last few weeks by residents of
Germany who are anxious TO settle
obligations here, according to several
bankers who have declined to accept
the deprecated currency.
German debtors prompted TO at
tempt q settlement of their debts, it
was said By announcements in Ber-
lin that Am orleans holding claims
against German subjects were now
permitted to make settlement direct
because of the American govern
ment's refusal to become a party to
the inter-allied clearing process pro
vided in the treaty of Versailles.
Such offers of settlement bankers
declare have been refused in
most cases on the ground that debts
contracted on a gold mark basis must
be paid in money of the same value.

PACKING TRADE
is IMPROVING
Outlook Tor 1922 Is Bright in
Other Lines Also

Chicago. Dec. S1,-Tho outlook Is
bright In the packing industry and,
inferentially in American business
generally, Thomas Il, Wilson, presi-
dent OF the institute Of American
meat packers. said In a statement to-
day
"Al business may find a good omen
IN the fact that the largest Industry in
the United States-slaughtering and
meat packlng--apparently has finish
ell the year 1921 with a normal an
nnal production and that this produc-
ton has not been crammed into ware
houses, but has passed freely into
trade channels and thence into con-
sumption" he said
"A good augury for business in gen
eral also inheres in the fact that tht
nations greatest industry after two
years of severe trials and grievous
losses, is finally and definitely emery
Ing into stable conditions and settling
into strong position"
After pointing out the Importance
OF the foreign situation, the statement
declares that this will he largely al
fected by such basic problems as the
reasonable adjustment OF the German
reparaton: adjustment OF national
debts over a period of time; cessation
in central Europe of printing OF pa
per money which has not sufficiently
substantial backing land the adjust
ment of foreign exchange contingent
TO a large extent, on the foregoing
factors
Mr.. Wilson then names the follow
ing factors as revealing the present
status OF the meat industry:
production in 1921, normal.
comparing favorably with pre-war
production.
packing house values seem fair
ly stable at low levels after tremend-
GUS declines.
3-The demand has shown a good
volume at the prevailing bargain
wholesale prices.
4-Meat exports in 1921 greater
than in 1920 or 1918.
5-Saes in terms of weight will
probably approximate 1920 sales but
at greatly decreased money value.
6-storage stocks low, indicating
demand has absorbed production.
Prices in 1921 in many cases
lower than before the war.
s-Packing industry has continued
to function and normal volume of
output has been marketed even
though not always at profit.
