Speculators Here Lose $100,000 In Decline of Marks Purchases On Rising Market Last May Bring Heavy Losses When Gorman , ' Armless Man Drives Auto and Airplane Money TakesJSIuiuV Losses estimated to total more than $100,000 have been experienced iiy Omaiians yho have invested in German marks (or speculative pur poses, according to Omaha bankers. Although many Omahans pttr rhased marks last January at 1.05 cents, he lowest exchange value yet reached by the mark,, many more speculated in marks in Mav, when I heir value had reached as high as 3.50, bankers say. Speculators who purchased during this advance in May anticipated the advance would bring the mark's ex change value to 8 or 9 cents. An other decline set in, however, and at the present time the mark is hov-; .ring between 1.30 cents and 1.35 cents in value. The pre-war value of the mark, at world exchange rates, was 23.821 cents. With the opening of the war began the mark's sensational decline iti value. Foreign exchange departments of Omaha banks report Omahaqsvhave invested heavily in marks, especially when they had begun to advance last spring, and although some marks were purchased and sent to (iermany, buying largely was specu lative. If is predicted that the mark j will continue to drop until it is as ! low as: ja'st January. This predic-1 lion is based on present ccoirtrmic conditions in Germany.' u- Mayor Smith Considers ; Free Bridge Proposals Mayor Smith -confere'd yestcrthjy afternoon in his office with the 'city commissioners on tlit Missouri rjvr free bridge project.yX' regular meet ing of the joint bridge committee, comprising Omaha- and Council Hlutfs men, will be held tonight 'in the mayor's' office.
