DROP IN MARK is LAID
TO INDEMNITY RUMORS
German Outlook Dire, Says
u. S. Attache at Berlin.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ia cabled sum-
mary of economic conditions from Com
mercial Attache Herring at Berlin. is-
sued tonight by the Commerce De-
partment, says:
Present conditions seem TO indicate
that the unpreced ented drop in the mark
beginning in September and continu-
Ing through October and November was
greatly influenced by psychological fac
tors and that the drop showed consid-
cradle discounting of future conditions.
The present recovery Is mainly due to
persistent rumors OF indemnity post
ponements and general changes of I'm
demnity payments. combined with the
fact that heavy fall buying. especially
OF foodstuffs and certain raw materials
1or winter consumption. has fallen off,"
Other points made were: Despite the
recovery OF the mark no fund amental
economic Improvement has been shown
In Germany. The present recovery "has
caused turmoil in German business
and manufacturing" Basic conditions
In public finance are unchanged, the note
circulation still being on the increase
with a resulting rise In the floating
debt. It is feared that unemployment,
now less than at any time since the
armistice. Will assume large proportions
when industry begins to feel the effects
OF over production after the present
large orders are filed and goods pro-
duced at the new price levels are Of
fered on the market.

RETAIL TRADE SHOWS GAIN.
Lower Temperatures Help Sales of
Uenvyweight Goods.

Changes In the general character OF
business at this time are purely sea-
sonal, according to the weekly reviews
of the situation and are without espe-
cial significance. Pre-holiday conditions
rule In most lines, Brddstrcefs points
out, although unseasonal weather in
some sections has hampered business.
THE result is" the report goes on,
that reports as to retail trade are only
slightly better than fair, and the quiet
ing down I'm wholesale and producing
lines lacks the full balance of greatly
increased Anal distribution"
Duns Revtew says: with the year
end only a fortnight distant. and holi-
day Interruptions imminent. It is obvi-
ously not the time to expect significant
changes In business. Dispatches from
widely separated centers indicate that
retail trade has gained In activity and
distribution of heavyweight goods has
been Quickened by sharply lower tenn
peratures in different sections"
