INTEREST IN
GERMAN TRADE
ES1'DMULATED
Acceptance Of Reparations
Terms by Germany Ap-
pcals to Business Men.

Washington. May 12.-Germany's
acceptance Of the allied reparations
demands has promptly stimulated in
terest Of American business in Ger
man trade possibilities. There has
been q marked increase in the num-
Der Of inquiries reaching the state de-
partment concerning trade restric-
tions to which Secretary Hughes has
replied in effect that with the excep-
ton OF few articles and few re-
strictions, Americans may carry on
trade with German houses freely.
The same feeling apparently was
reflected in reports from allied capt.
tails Of improved exchange quotations.
Secretary Mellon said today he ex-
pected the advances recorded by
Trench and British exchange rates to
bel permanent to some extent. While
the effect of Germany's acceptance
upon exchange was largely psychogi-
cal, Mr.. Mellon said. it seemed un-
likely exchange would drop again to
its previous low rates.
Analysis made by administration
officers OF the allied plan for the COL
lection Of reparations caused them to
declare today that they could see in il
no serious flaw.
