eve have recently increased our
capital to 1,762, 100000 marns, which
is 719,OOO,OOO more than our previous

consequence of the tremendous depre-

increases in the prices Of commodities -

intended attacks on the world market,
which it has been reported we were

ELabor difficulties, shortage Of coal
the unsatisfactory traffic conditions;
as far as the Rhineland is concerned,
the obstacles, caused by the Rhine
customs barrier; all prevent us, in any
case, from increasing our output, and
leave us in a far from satisfactory
position. This position is made worse
by the hindrances placed in our way
in many foreign countries. -
DR.. Duisberg characterized a report
ed demand in some American quarters
for the closing of German dyeworks
because "they might be used for the
manufacture Of explosives and poison
gas in another war; was Hutterly
senseless, since Germany has been de
prived Of the means Of employing poi
son gases for war purposes, even if she
wanted to.'' He added that emo sane

In Germany crops are well advanced
in all parts Of the country being in
practically all instances in better con-

is unofficiallv stated that grain re-
serves are sufficient to last until the
harvest.
In Sweden the effects of an early
drought have been relieved by recent
rains, but more moisture is required
especially for the spring cerials.

In Belgium growing crops are doing
