Both agree that, in spite of the feeling of political uneasiness arising from the war in the Balkan Peninsula during the latter part of it, it has been one of un- Sound activity, as shown by the record fgares of exports and imports and of the goods traffic receipts of the German railways, the latter amounting to 1,991 million marks, or 138 millions more than in 1911. Particular stress is laid upon. the fact that the imports of gold have. exceeded the exports ty 227,817,000 marks, and that this should have been so in the face of heavy remittances against the large amounts due abroad and a stringent money market, consequent upon the ex- tensive requirements of the home trade, is ascribed in part to the foresight of the Reichsbank in timely providing for tuy erbergency by the acquisition of a large stock of foreign bills of exchange and securities which helped to refund-the- foreign capital withdrawn and to pay for the quantity of raw materials im- ported. At any rate it has been accom plished without recourse to outside as. sistance, and this the Dresden Bank looks upon 48 #complete refutation of the assertion of part of the foreign Press that the capital of Germany no longer sufices for the requirements of her trade and that she deca not possess the means to carry on a war of any duration.
