 RECOVERY sIN BERLIN

Berlin, Dec. CBy the 4. P.)-For- eign exchange today recovered substan- tially from the slump caused by the panicky unloading of Thursday, and the feeling prevails that the furry was only one day affair."
 Thursdays excitement is ascribed in large measure to a bad case of stage fright" on the part of amateur specu- lators.
 Specu ation on the bourse is conpara- lively new pastime to thousands who now are playing the game throughout Germany. Yesterdays upset in the mar ket was disastrous to numerous small provincial banks which were unable to reach Bourse centers in time to cover themselves.
 The bankers and financial writers are not inclined to accept the present i'm provement of the mark as an occasion for optimism.

As a unanimous agreement was necessary to the actual handing over or the funds to the indi- vidual governments. France, 1t was. as- serted thus baked over the actual dis tribution. and as result the money Is now in escrow.
