MIDDLE CLASS
H|TBYFALLOF
MARK
Germans With Fixed incomes
Suffer Most From Rise in
Cost of Living.
BY KARL NJ. ELISH,
international News Service.

BERLIN, Jan. 31.-The chief
sufferers from the tremendous in
crease in the cost of living that
has occurred in the last four years
have been the middle-class people
with fixed incomes. AS prices ad-
vance they have been slowly but
surely driven to the wall.
An elderly maiden lady of Han
over, however, who inherited not
only a modest competence but her
fathers business ability, has beaten
the h. C. !. SO far by utilizing her
last remaining piece of jewelry--a
diamond and pearl necklace.
Pawns Necklace.
Finding herself at the end of her
resources about a year and q half
ago, she pawned the necklace for
80 900 marks. Three months later
she borrowed 10000 marks from q
banker, redeemed the pledge and
promptly pawned it again for no.,
600 marks, repaid the bank loan
and still had enough to live on for
another six months, whereupOn she
borrowed 10000 marks, got her
necklace out of pawn and there
upon pawned it for 100000 marks
The explanation for this feat OF
financial wizardry is that the mark
in the last year and half has dc
preciated at perfectly furious
rate, with q corresponding increase
in money values"
Borrow on Speculation.
The elderly maiden lady only
took a leaf out of the book Of the
spectators in foreign exchange
who, confident that the mark will
fall, secure bank loans, buying dol
lars with the proceeds. Three
months later, when the loan fall
due, they sell enough dollars Il
repay the loan and still have 6
handsome profit left. 1t may hav,
| cost them 5000 marks to buy a dol
lar, but when the loan falls dut
they can buy perhaps 5000 marll>
with that dollar. And that's why
, foreign exchange dealers here are
as common as soda clerks in tho
States.

STOCKS SHOW
IRREGULAR
TONE
Prices Drift AimIessIy Through
out Early Session, With
Downward Trend.
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Sentiment
In the first two hours Of trading on
the stock exchange today was de-
cidedly mixed, causing an irregular
trend in most departments. An
nouncement Of England's accept
ance Of American proposals for
funding the $4,000. 00O,0O0 British
debt came too late to affect the
market before noon. However,
Brita1n's acceptance was expected
to add bullish factor to the mar
ket.
Traders were swayed today by a
further fall in francs to .05821a, the
lowest since the beginning Of 1921,
and, on the other hand, by the fa-
vorable business outlook in this
country. Prices, as q rule, drifted
atmlesSly throughout the early ses.
sion. Even interest in railway
shares waned, although confidence
in the stability of this group found
expression in underlying firmness.
U. s. Steel Drops.
Professional operators used the
disappointing exhibit of earnings
by the United States Steel Corpora
ton as pretext to offer this stock
down to 1041s, a loss of IA points.
Instead Of the dividend Of $2.25 on
the common stock for the last
quarter of 1922 being fully covered,
as the street expected, the actual
statement showed only 81 cents
earned for the junior class Of stock.
However, 1t is reasonable to assume
that the effect of increasing BUSH
ness will be more pronounced in
the earnings figures for the cur
rent quarter. Other steel stocks
sold off in sympathy, Bethlehem
"B" at 61b and Crucible at TN,
being fractionally lower.
The equipment group was heavy.
Losses of about one point were sus-
tanned by Baldwin at 1919 and
Lima Locomotive at 81.
California Petroleum featured the
oil division by selling up 2 points
to 785, in response to the placing
of this stock on q Z per cent annual
basis. Other Oil stocks moved ir-
regularly. Small upward changes
were established by Pan-American
at 81 and Producers and Refiners
at son. Royal Dutch was unsettled
and nearly a point lower.
Fisher Body was a weak spot in
the motor group, declining 5 points
to 165. Fluctuations in the other
motor stocks were extremely mar
row. Studebaker held around ia.
Copper stocks were neglected.
Butte Copper and Zinc, on which
dividend payment was resumed,
made no further response to this
announcement and sold off fraction
ally to 10h. 90. .4.~-.
Railroad stocks underwent a
resting spell, but were well able
to retain their recent advances.
Quotations here and there were
only slightly shaded.
Trading in specialties was color
less and price changes were unim-
portant. Corn Products improved
l point to 1888. international
Paper at SIX and National Lead
at 126 were about a point higher
North American was offered nearly
2 points lower at 1929.
Money renewed at Az per cent.
