New York Herald Bureau,
Berlin, Sept. :.
Observers In banking circles In Berlin
now fear that the downhill slide of the
mark threatens Germany with an In
fiation similar to that which obtains in
Austria. Meanwhile the heavy Stock Ex-
change speculation continues. Securities
such as textiles, electro-technical and
steel shares are still being traded In
heavily This also Is true OF potash
shares. The trading is not based on
dividend returns.
1t ir estimated that 65 per cent. OF
the brokers here to-day have orders
under 5000 marks each and to relieve
the pressure Of this small business the
Stock Exchange Is being closed three
days a week.
1t is significant that securities where
capitalization increases have not kept
pace with the depreciation OF the Inask
also are attracting the attention of in
vestors, who are seeking further stock
issues. 5Spinning and weaving securities
are lin demand owing to the fact that
such companies have orders ahead that
insures operations until May. 1922.
Porcelain and glass works. with re-
duced personnel. are unable to meet the
demand for wares for immediate or
future delivery.
z The electro-technical industry Jared
best at the Leipsic fair In so far as
orders were concerned, while many
orCers for iron and chemicals arc coming
Ia as q result Of the depreciation OF the
mark
The application Of the tax programme
throughout all Germany has hit the
trusts hard. However. the iron and steel
groups are buying UP the smaller car
and locomotive works.
Despite the fact that they had orders
for a year ahead textile manufacturers
reduced their cotton purchases last
month, postponing buying In the hope
that the mark would rise In value.
Now they are buying again and -ascrly
taking the Bremen stocks, giving
longer time orders owing to reports
here of a short American crop.
BERLIN Sept. 8.--An onslaught to-day
by spectators forced the governing
board Of the Boerse to close the institu-
ton for the balance of the day. The
avalanche Of buying orders attained such
dimensions that they could not be ac-
commodated through the regularly
esta blished channels.
The mark sold for less than one cent
on the curb for brief period during the
afternoon. Later it was quoted officially
at .9765 cent.
