many's more serious financial and
general economic position among
the nations of the world found
concrete expression today when
the mark fell to the new low rec
ord of % i5-100ths Of one cent,
The extent of this collapse, prob
ably unprecedented in modern his
tory, may be gaugod from the fact
that the normal pre-war value of
the mark here was 23 $40 cents.
Selling OF German exchange at
this center has been unusually
large recently at steady reactions
but offerings assumed most im-
pressive proportions in the last few
days.
Tho increased liquidation, ap-
parently accomplished by specUla-
tive offerings, was ascribed by in
formed interests as directly trace
able to the demand of the United
States government for payment of
the expenses of its army of occu-
patton on the Rhine. For this n
claim OF $241, 100000 already has
been presented to the repalations
commission.
Yet another factor in the de-
moralization is the severity Of the
terms imposed on the Berlin gov
ernment as q prerequisite to the
granting of a partial moratorium.
These involve the flotation of p
foreign loan or levy on home cap
ital and a halt in all capital eX-
ports.
Despite the panicky financial
conditions prevailing in Germany,
some banks OF that country seem
to have prospered amazingly. A
cable from Berlin today gave a
