BREAKDOWN OF GERMAN EXPORT INDUSTRY.
(Official Telegram from the British Foreign Office.)
LONDON, February 3rd. American bankers in London have lately shown great interest in the depreciation of German Oredit in Holland, and, in view of the increased international im portance of American finaner, London judgment. The decline in German credit attaches more than usual weight to their in Holland has particular importance because Holland and Germany, being ad- joining countries, nothing but a virtual breakdown of German export Industry could account for the heavy balance of payments against Germany, which is in- dicated by latest depreciation in the value in Holland, of cheques drawn on Borlin While during the first fourteen months of tho war German currency caly depreciated 14.7 per cent., October 1st and December 31st, 1915, the depreciation increased to 28.7 per cent. This sudden increase in the rate at which German credit has declined in a neutral country where it can best be judged seems to indicate that Germany's latest milltary preparations involved something like a complete abandonment of any attempt to maintain productive industry in that country. Henceforth all Germany's econo- mic efforts must be made, not from wealth newly produced, but from her capital already saverely diminished by eighteen months of war.
