Excursion on 1st and 3d Tuesday of Each Month SPECULATORS SCRAMBLING FOR DOLLARS New Plunge Toward Oblivion Follows Reichsbank Action—* Sixty Printing H6uses Still Issuing Big Output. BY KARL H. VON WIEGAND, Universal Service Correspondent Beilin, Aug. 6.—The German mark plunged headlong into unknown depths Monday. It is nearing obliv ion. i With one jump it reached the offi cial quotation of 1,670,000 to the dol lar and shortly after the bourse closed the demand for the American dollar, which is in a fair way of be coming the national currency of Ger many, became so great that 2,000,000 marks was bid. With the daily doubling and treb ling of prices keeping pace with the depreciation, 60 printing establish ments are printing notes day and night. Eight trillion marks was the daily output for the last few days. But There’s Still Shortage Even with that extraordinary out put there is a tremendous shortage of money, owing to the huge quant ities necessary for the transaction of any kind of business. “The death dance of trillions” is what the National Zeltung calls the situation Monday night. Bank notes of the denomination of 60 million marks Cach will be Issued .soon. Monday’s plunge was attributed to the fact that the reichsbank took the lid off by rescinding its decree which prohibited the buying and selling of foreign exchange except at the offi cial exchange rate fixed by the bank. The result was an extraordinary scramble for dollars and pounds sterling, everybody trying to unload their worthless marks at any price. Retailers Refusing Marks The confusion and chaos increased through the refusal of many busi ness houses to accept the mark in payment for goods. Gasoline for automobiles is no lenger obtainable except with the dollar. The plunge of the mark confronts the cabinet with a new crisis which may reach its first climax Wednes day when Chancellor Cuno addresses the special session of the reichstag. Germany’s internal situation daily becomes more critical.
