MARK VALUE GAUGE.
FOR PREPARATIONS
Germany's Chance OF Paying
FIuctuates With Rise
and Fall. !
STATUS STILL IN DOUBT
Manufacturers Now Forced to Spec
ulate on Both Contracts
and Exchange.
BY GEORGE wITTE.

=
By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
Copyright, 1872.
BERLIN, April IS. - Germany's q
chances of paying even a fraction of
the reparations installments are
dwindHng. as the value Of the mark
rises and falls and the price of Ger
man products fiuctuates in the same
degree. Reports of the results of
the first days proceedings at the
Genoa conference sent the mark up
several points. This was favorable
from the bankers point of view. but
it left the manufacturer and exporter
up in the air" because Germany's
export prices are now not below the
worlds market prices, but above
them. This country now faces the
prospect of hunting for buyers in
stead of having them rushing here
to buy industrial products at low
prices. They will keep away from
Germany because other countries can
produce the same articles more
cheaply.
Germany Must Decide.
Siegried Weber. a leader in the
official German export commissions.
declared today:
> Germany must do one of two
things. She must make contracts for
months in advance at some definite
figure in marks and guarantee de-
livery, or she must make contracts
in some foreign exchanges like dol
lars. speculating all, the while on the
mark going down and the other cur
rencies up. The upshot OF all this
10 that German manufacturers hest-
tate about making contracts because
they do not know where they stand.
As result Germany's surplus of ex-
ports which has been increasing
month by month, will soon vanish
and Germany will be unable to meet
the reparations demands. which de-
pend chiefly upon her exports"
Many American buyers have left
Germany within the last week on ac-
count of the high prices.
Debt Control Soon Seen.
An interallied commission of debt
control will probably soon be ap-
pointed as the result of Germany's re-
ply to the reparations commissions s
paragraph 234 of the treaty of Ver-
sailles. The paragraph in question
provides that such commission
should investigate Germany's ability
to fulfill the terms of the treaty when
that country announces to the allies
Its inability to make further pay
ments.
p This latest movement on the part
of the German government is one
for which the French have hoped for
almost a year and is in line with the
French governments policy to get a
hold on Germany's finances and sys-
tenn of taxation. 1t was Marshal Foch
in particular who first advocated the
appointment of such a debt commits
sion. and in carrying out his ambi-
tior succeeded in persuading the su-
preme council to permit the occupa-
tion by the French of the Dusseldorf
district year ago.

bloc, which, through it's chairman. had asked for cents on green hide and 6 cents on dried hides.
 Only two members of the finance committee majority Curtis and Shoot. supported the duties. while four members, Calder, Dillingham;, Frelinghuysen and Sutherland, voted against them. Chairman McCum5er and Senator Watson of Indiana, the other two members present, were paired and unable to vote. Five mem bers of the tariff block broke away on the ballot. Spencer, Willis, New, Reyes and Townsend.
 With hides sent back to the free list, Senator Shoot of Utah, for the committee. moved that the Senate disagree to the amendment proposing a rate of 12 cents pair, and per cent ad valorem on boots and shoes and varying rates on band, rough and sole leather, belting and harness leather, and various other parts Of this product. The motion prevailed without roll call. The Senate ap- proved ad valorem on chamois skins, pianoforte action. player piano ac- tion. leather, enameled upholstery leather. and glove leather. finished in the white or in the crust.
 Cuts Duty on Bags
 The Senate then cut from 40 to 30 per cent proposed duty on bags, bas- kets. belts, satchels, card cases, pocketbooks. jewel boxes. portfolios and other boxes and cases wholly or in chief value of leather On such articles permanently fitted and fur nished with travelling bottle, drink ing. dining or luncheon, sewing, man. icure or similar sets, the duty was made 45 per cent ad valorem in place of the 50 per cent originally pro- rosed.
 In the six hours debate which pre- ceded the vote Senator Lodge, the republican leader, and Senator Walsh, Massachusetts, democratic member of the finance committee, were found fighting side by side against the duties.
 There was a sharp disagreement between proponents and opponents as to how much the proposed hide duties would increase the price of shoes, and as to whether the cattle raisers or the Chicago meat packers would get the benefit from the tariff. Op- ponents placed the increase on shoes at 20 cents a pair, while advocates said the iCcreased cos would range from Sh cents to cents a pair.
