Precipitate Decline of Ger
man Marks to New Low
Record Unsettling Factor
in international Markets

Against the background Of narrow
and for the most part rather !nsignifi-
cant fluctuations in the other financial
markets, striking further decline in
the international value Of the German
mark stood out conspicuously. Com
pared with n previous low water mark
OF .78 of cent, the unit of German
currency, whose mint parity is 238
cents, tumbled to 10.
The precipitate character Of the de-
cline IN this market was partly at
tributable to tho fact that there were
no dealings on Wednesday, and that
two days selling energy was spent
yesterday. Tho underlying cause for
the further smash is the almost uni
versal doubt regarding the ability Of
the German government to extricate
itself from present monetary complica-
tions resulting from tremendous in
fation.
The immediate reason FOR the rush
to sell German marks was the ruling
Of the League Of Nations Council in re-
gard to Upper Silesia. Evidently, those
dealing In exchange needed the threat
Of tho Wirth government that it would
resign if it were decided to bisect the
Siiesian triangle. Tho initiative for
the decline in marks was taken in the
London market.
The break in New York was really a
reflection OF what was taking place
abroad. After a slight rally, marks
closed st II u OF a cent. The decline
had an unsettling effect on the other
European exchanges. Bankers are
watching with critical and mono too
hopeful eye the fluctuations Of the Ger
man mark, and the progressive emascu-
lation of the Teuton financial structure.
The unsettlement Of the exchanges
tended with other factors to unset
speculative sentiment in the commodity
markets, where cotton prices, after an
early rise, dropped 40 points. and
wheat quotations slumped 2h to "a
cents.
In the stock market, the professional
influences, making for slightly lower
quotations, again were dominant. and
on the average industrial and railroad
stocks closed lower. Mexican Petrol
cum. particularly at the start, was
special target of those in quest Of
further recessions, whereas the do
mestic oil shares continued their up
ward surge, discounting the improve
ment In petroleum prices. Aside from
the speculative activity for rise in
the American oils, there was little color
to the market, which still had to share
interest with the worlds series. In the
inactivity among rails, with an easier
tone, there has been reflection Of the
desire to wait for to-day's meeting at
Chicago Of the railroad executives
gathered together for the purpose of
discussing lower freight rates.

some definite statement on this i'm

their Willingness to decrease the cost

stress the point that this cannot be
done without great detrment to the
