HEAVY BUYING ON ADVERTISEMENTS
THE BOURSE
INVESTORS SCURRY TO
ACQUIRE SHARES
CREATION OF "EXPORT” MARK ENVISAGED BY BANKERS
Berlin, To-day.
This is increasing nervousness in German business circles about the future of the currency, and the economic developments were reflected on the Bourse yesterday in a sharp climb of share! prices caused by heavy buying. The devaluation of the Fira, which came as a surprise and the expected devaluation (later con- firmed) of the Czechoslovakian currency both served to send in- vestors scurrying to acquire German and foreign shares,
Even an official warning that the possession of shares was no protection against devaluation but that, on the contrary, the profits might be confiscated by the State, failed to have any con- siderable deterrent effect. Supplies were short and quotations rose generally by 2 to 3 per cent.
Well-informed banking circles do, not, however, believe that devaluation is imminent, though the creation of an export Mark is considered a possibility. This would be used abroad for the International Assee. Sa$31⁄4 1 purchase of German goods and would be backed by a gold cover-
age, possibly deposited abroad.
