Berlin, Aug. 1.
In the face of an announcement that
Mendelsohn & Co. had Increased the in
ternational credit arranged through
their Dutch branch by 50,000.00 gold
marks quotations on the German mark
showed slight decline to-day. This
heightened the impression that the
financing OF the cash reparation pay
ments will cost the German people far
more than the amount involved the day
the reparation ultimatum was signed by
Germany.
Foreign exchange bought by the
Rcichsbank In the open market to-day
cost virtually 80 per cent. more than IL
did the day Chancellor Wirth undertook
to pay the Allies 132,000.0 100000 gold
marks.
The depreciation in the value of the
mark is reacting favorably on German
exports, but this Improvement in trade
is not as noticeable as II might be. be-
cause the general slump in world buying
is so great at present The present de-
cline in the mark, therefore, is not con-
sidered as blessing III disguise, as
have previous declines In the marks
value.
The question that is giving German
stock brokers a headache is whether, al
ter August 81, when an allied draft Ior
a billion marks gold will have been met,
the German mark can be expected to
recover. A pessimistic view is most
often expressed Indeed, financial writ
ers are divided into two groups. one OF
which is devoutly optimistic and the 9TH
er finding fault with what is termed an
attempt to frighten the few spectators.
one writer this morning rebukes the
German press for deceiving foreigners
about the status of Gernany's cred,i
and recalls how little foreigners were af-
fected BY similarly over favorable re
ports regarding Germany's military po-
sition during the war. He says there Is
no way OF knowing whether the Berlin
Government will continue a large buyer
OF foreign exchange for the balance oi
this year or not, because the terms Of
the international credit which has beer
obtained have not been published. Be-
cause of the Governments silence nc
assumes 1t is short
The decline in the mark ie not the
fault OF spectators, he continues. bus
because foreign bankers shook their
heads when they discovered on what
terms the International credit was
granted, and instead of buying marks
they sold them.
Also he defends German exporters
against the accusation of having brought
on the collapse OF the mark by selling
their goods for marks instead of for for
eign exchange. German business men,
he declares, are face TO face with haru
competition and are not in q position 70
make terms now how they will sell.
