liar effects of the continuing fall of
the German mark were illustrated
today in department of commerce
reports upon the profits OF the fam
Gus Krupp Steel Works located I'D
the Ruhr valley. now under French
occupation.
In 1919 the company made 10
coo, 900 marks on it's operations,
while the figures compiled for 1922
show a profit of 1856, 00O. 900 marks.
Nevertheless, American Consul Rich
ardson at Berlin calculated that on
the basis of gold the profit had actu-
ally fallen between 1913 n lS22,
from $500, 900 to $S50,00O.
The Krupp works, formerly the
greatest German producing center of
guns and war munitions, have been
changed over to the manufacture of
railroad equipment, general machiE-
cry and agricultural implements, but
the plants total output of all COM
modities is still far below war and
