GERMAN MARKS DOWN
TO 1.8 CENTS HUNDRED
Francs Also Decline to 1872
Cents; Drop of 13 Points
Over Night.

New York. July German marks
plunged TO the lowest level IN history
today. being quoted at 1.s cents hun
dred. following publication Of the Ger
man bank statement revealing an in
crease OF 1880. 900, 600 marks in the
paper currency issue last week.
In September. 1914. shortly after the
outbreak of the war. the total note
circuia ton in Germany was 4.234 900,
900 marks. as compared with cir
culation of 1863, ,1s5, ,22S. 900 marks last
week. The normal or pre-war price
of marks was 23.S cents each.
Various reasons are assigned by
bankers for this sharp decline, among
them the recent failure of international
bankers To agree upon loan for Ger
many and the apparent disposition OF
German government officials to CON
tinue unchecked the reckless printing
OF paper currency.
In more conservative circles, the de
probation of German exchange was
regarded as the natural result of ex.
traordinary economic and financial
conditions confronting Germany as q
result Of the war.
| French exchange also suffered
sharp decline, francs being quoted to
day at 7.92 cents, an overnight droI
of l3 points.
The decrease was attributed to IN,
heavy buying of dollar exchange h,
French importers for wheat purchases
and sympathetic action with the court
of German exchange, because of tn
later's relation TO reparation payments
