New Low for Marks

Marks declined to a new low record
Of .299s cent yesterday. Selling was
chiefly on behalf of German Interests,
but was accompanied by sympathetic
offerings of fairly liberal proporti ons
from other quarters. The break, which
amounted to more than points, aas
associated TO some extent with Che
newly promulgated reparations pro
gram, but was more directly connected
with the increased necessity for the
financing Of German imports by pur-
chases Of foreign currencies in the
open market. There is growing reiuc-
tancc throughout the world to accept
payment in marks; therefore. dollars,
sterling and francs are generally being
demanded. Germany is said 10 have
borrowed foreign exchange TO the limit,
and this resort is no longer open to
her. Moreover, the tide Of German
exports, which was at food some time
ago, is now receding. The opportuni-
ties of German importers for obtain
ing foreign currencies except By pay
ment for marks are, consequently, dwin-
ding The continued absorption o.
marks has proved an amazcment 70
bankers and is expected to be main
tanned only at further deprecated

yesterday overlooked the rather in

not all unfavorable, but there was a
sufficient balance or the side Of adverse

Until after the close of the market
Wednesday, was the most specific iDdu-
cnce operative in the dccljnc. Tic
stock Of this road showed a net loss

of in sympathy, but to lesser extent.
The reaction of the rails was probably
due to an optimistic estimate Of
their position rather than to any con
ception Of the cut as radical or uucN~
pected. For some time the wisdom Of
some Of tho carriers in dipping into
reserve to maintain dividends, how
ever strong their position, has been
questioned, and it has been regarded
as only matter of time whom the
more conservative policy would be

London VS.. New York Prices

3, per cent loan of the Compagnie du
Cheminn de Fer du Nord was being Of
fered there at 80 proved something Of a
blow to New York bankers who have
oeen hoping to attract further French
railroad financing to this market The
price cited is said to be far higher
than could be paid here, and the only
chance for getting share of the bust
ness is now believed to lie in the pos
sible desire of the French roads to get
an opening wedge into the American
market or in the fact that the require
ments of particular road may be more
than London can we'll handle at one

bankers in this class of business is
evidenced by the current keen

Money and Credit

The opening and renewal rate for call
money yesterday was AZ per cent, the
highest since March 8. Five per cent
was reached shortly after noon and an
hour later the charge moved to the
peak for the day Of 512 per cent
Offerings of time funds were moro
liberal than before the recent easement
developed, but little business was done
because Of the disparity of the bid and
asked rates, There was no change in

Northern Pacific's Reaction

Northern Pacifc's greatest reaction
yesterday, resulting from the reduc-
TO 5 per cent, came at the opening,
when on a flood Of selling orders the
initial sale VAS at 741h, an overnight
loss of points 1t was the consensus
Of brokerage opinion, however, that the
liquidation was more by spectators
than by investors who have been hold
ing their stock over a period Of years
for the income. There was an element
of surprise in the dividend action Of
the directors, as it was thought n
some quarters that nothing more would
be done than change the date Of the
payments from quarterly TO scmian-
nual.

Fisher BODY

The Fisher Body Corporation, in an
outl Inc OF its situation made public
yesterday, announced that it is in a
position where it has been compelled to
refuse several new accounts, due to
shortage Of manufacturing facilities.
Like all automotive companies" the
statement adds, "Fisher Body had huge
commitments for raw materials in the
fall Of 1920, all of which have long
since been liquidated, and for some
months the company has been buying
only for current needs. Some OF the
Detroit plants are working overtime
while others are not yet at capacity.
Average of the Fisher factories is
about 95 per cent of capacity. The
Cleveland plant is working at capacity
and has recently acquired additional
floor space to care for prospective in
creases in business. Canadian plants
are operating close to capacity. Earn
ings in the first nine months Of the

Foreign Loan Regulation

Some endeavor is being made bv
American manufacturing interests to
have the wise on foreign loans by the
ADMINISTRATOR at Washington extended
to secure limitation Of the proceeds of
foreign loans floated in this country to
the American market This is a kind
of regulation which was much mooted
several months ago but the fallacy of
which was believed to have been dem
onstrated. The current agitation has
featured claim that restrictions of
this sort are enforced in connection
with loans foated in London, but
international bankers said yesterday
that this was not based on fact.

Steel Operations Increase

That there has been a substantial
volume Of new business received with

Steel Corporation is indicated by the
present rate Of operations, which are
slightly under 10 per cent OF capacity.
This is the highest rate since early in
1921 and compares with approximate
~ SO per cent the first week in March
and with 20 per cent last July, which
Chairman Gary said in the 1921 annual
report was the lowest rate in the his

THE LESSON in STONES.

Behold the Baluchistherium, come again
into public notice after laying down his
wearied bones possibly two Or three million
Of years ago. :. +, r>&
He was built. say the Psychologists who
broke open his resting place. after the general
design Of the modern rhipoceros. His skull
was i've feet long, and from this you can make
fair guess as to his total size Mentally, the
Balucnistherium was reactionary.s His skull
was almost entirely bone. The brain cavity
was hardly larger than cavity which might
have formed in one Of his back teeth And be.
cause he carried conservatism to its farmost
lengths he and his kind persisted from the facs
OF the earth.
There came period in the career Of the
genus when environment greatly altered. The
weather may have grown colder or warmer
An arid climate may have succeeded humid
one. Marsh may have bumped itself up into
mountains Or highlands become depressed to
stagnant levels. What ever the changes were,
the Baluchisthe ffum did not change WITH them.
He did not 1T himself to new circumstances. A
reactionary born. q reactiohary by breeding and
temperament, his eyes on the past rather than
on the present and the future, he committed
racial suicide, Nature became impatient with
him. and, save for his skeleton-now become
| the wonder and pride Of science-wiped him
| out
| The moral in the ancient Baluchisfherium
for us, dear readers, Is this: March with the
times An environment alters make ourselves
| suitable to it. Seek happiness in our own days
instead Of mourning about days and conditions
gone forever. Don't make nature querulous

But when 1 read your signals wrong.

You needn't make your voice so strong;

No doubt that cafries more conviction;
But why so hoarsely bawl ME ott
For every minor derelictDn?

And II do-you can arrest me. i.
But otherwise, why break your j4W &
Abusing me! II you will test me
With language moderate, though stern,
You'll find it really quite effective.
Yes. honestly, you needn't burn
My ears with purple-toned invectivs!
