Break in German Marks
Rouses Interest in the
Financial District. Pro
fessionals Still i'm Control

German marks yesterday dropped to
the lowest levels ever quoted in the
international exchange market, The
movement toward vanishing worth has
been so striking recently that observ-
ers of the banking situation are search
ing for the fundamental reasons. The
mark was sold as low as 1872 of a
cent, compared with a normae mint par
ity of 23.S cents. After slight re-
bound marks closed at 70 of cent.
BEYOND the story cf the tremendous
decline in marks, which were quoted
above 8 cents when trading in them
| was resumed after the armistice, are
the great increase in the amount of
currency outstanding and also the dis
sipation of the inadequate gold cover
by export of the precious metal. The
precarious German financial situation
was brought to crisis on August 81
last, when an installment of reparations
amounting to approximately $1S5, ,ooO,-
600 became due. Germany met the OBJ
/ legation to the Allies partly by arrang
ing banking credits in this country, in
! London and through various German
banks. In connection with the tumble
of marks yesterday Wall Street heard
that Germany was finding it necessary
to ask the banks to extend loans which
were falling due on September 80 for
six weeks.
international finance has a unity in
sense, and the other European ex-
changes were affected by the further
weakness in marks. Sterling and vir-
tually all the Continental exchanges
moved lower.
With the break in marks the out
standing phase of the days financial
situation, there was little in specula-
tive activity at the Stock Exchange to
attract attention. AS on the previous
day, the days trading represented lit
tie more than the counters of profess
sional spectators. There was irregu-
larity of price movement, indicating
some covering, while efforts to depress
prices were going on at the same time
The momentary check in the bond
market continued yesterday.
In the cotton market there was some
feeling that the advance had gone as
far as the facts justified, particularly
in view of the uncertainty regarding
the new government crop report, which
will be made public next Monday. At
the close net changes varied from
gain Of 6 points to loss of Is
points. In The wheat pit the reaction
continued, prices losing 2A to 2la
cents.

An Expensive Panacea

cone OF those panaceas that sound
nice, but are rather expensive" was
the epitome of bankers comment on
John Wanamaker's proposal for the gov
ernment to call in all Liberty bonds
at par and issue new long term Sc
curities at per cent. Mr.. Wanamaker
suggested the plan at a talk on the Jun
employment problem, and it was his
contention that such refunding would
relieve the bond holder of limited
means and at the same time remove
burdensome taxes from business, thus
paving the way for prosperity. Bank
ers pointed out, however, that by far
the largest holders of government
bonds we're employers and not unem-
ployed, ard that most of those who
bought all the bonds they could during
the war have long since parted with
them at a considerable discount. The
proposed increase in interest rates.
therefore, from 4 OF An per cent to
per cent would benefit only those who
are at present able to hold the bonds.
Moreover, the governments burden in
interest payments would be increased
at the same time. Mr.. Wanamaker S
statement that the war bonds were
selling at Is per cent below par was
exaggerated to some extent, it was
shown. for most If the issues are less
than 10 per cent below par, and the
Victory notes are less than l per cent
below the issue price. The lowest
quoted bon3s, the First 31as are selling

it's appearance within the last few

transactions of this character said yes
terday that the volume Of tax selling
has not yet developed into big proper

several days. This may account for
the churning back and forth of some

evince no haste in buying them back
except at the same price at which they
were sold. This. in some instances,
has taken several days.

season was on. Hampton began the
scoring and kept the lead until the
last minute Of the first half when
Hardy made a long basket, giving
Shaw II to 10 lead. This spcctacu-
Var performance brought the grent
crowd to its feet. At this time there
was wild rejoicing. During the inter
