International Mercantile

BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, May 22.-Interna-
tional Mercantile Marine Co. and its
American subsidiaries lost 81 411.441
in 1888, after payment of all oper-
ating costs and interest and provid-
ing for depreciation on the usual
basis. report of the directors to stock
holders showed. This loss compared
with a loss of $1,507,187 in the pre-
ceding year.
Share holdings in foreign companies
continued to be treated as invest
ments. the report stated, and the
results of their operations were not
included in the consolidated report
OF the domestic companies.
Operating losses of the foreign sub
sidiary companies in 1888 were equiva-
lent to $1,3o5,757 at the exchange
rates prevailing at the end of the
war, the report said This was before
deducting depreciation of s1,110.s65
and loss Of s5,377.46s on steamers
disposed of, both figures being at the
OLD par of exchange.
Because cash proceeds from the
disposal of foreign flag ships were less
than their book values and because
of the shrinkage of the value of re-
naming steamers, the book value of
the company's foreign properties was
reduced to $3,198, 1928 at the end of the
year. from s10,265,823 at December
81, 1882, P. A. S. Franklin, president,
said in the report.
Mr.. Franklin said termination on
June 80. 1884, Of the White Star lines
agency with International Mercantile
Marine Co. would necessitate reduc-
tion Of its offices and staff, but the
hoped-for development under the
American flag should counteract this
to certain extent.
Although the operating results for
the first four months of 1884 show
somewhat reduced losses as compared
to the same period in the previous
year." the report said. "the present
situation does not seem to justify
the expectation for any material i'm
provement for the year 1884,"

DANGER INCREASES
FOR RE|CHSMARK
World Monetary StabiIiza-
tion Blocked for Time as
Reserves Sink.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May 22-The increas-
ingly precarious position of the Ger
man mark, as evidenced by the weekly
Reichsbank statements, tends to dash
hopes of any immediate return of
monetary stability to the world, in
the opinion of important foreign ex-
change circles in Wall Street.
A few months ago. when the Bank
of France was losing gold and the
French fiscal snarl seemed almost in
extricable, the uncertain position of
the gold bloc countries seemed to
initiate against any early general
stabilization of currencies. But the
French crisis seems to have passed.
1t is to Germany, still pegging her
currency to gold on the basis of the
stabilization of 1928. that international
banking quarters now look for the
next important move in world none
tary affairs.
The Reichsbank's reserves of gold

most to the vanishing point, to less
than per cent of currency circula-
ton, and in her export trade, the
Reich is already enjoying the advan-
tages of currency depreciation, for
buyers of German merchandise are
permitted to acquire blocked" marks
to use in payment at discounts of 20
to 40 per cent from parity
The Reich is keeping her currency
at its gold parity purely by artificial
means-that is, by rigidly controlling
the amount of marks which may be
sold in exchange for other currencies.
In foreign exchange dealings the
mark is controlled almost as rigidly
as the Russian rouble.
There has already been serious dis
cussion of devaluation in Germany.
The example of England, which has
cut the gold value of the pound by
nearly 40 per cent without causing
internal imitation or arousing public
distrust, and the example of Japan,
which has cut the yen some so per
cent and experienced veritable boom
IN her export trade, have evidently
been food for thought in Germany.
