The U.S. Bank Crash.
The news of a bank-moratorium baving been proclaimed in New York has created a sensation in German financial circles where grave repercussions on the Euro. pean bourses are anticipated. Ad- vices from London state that all speculative transactions in foreign exchanges have been prohibited by the bank authorities.
Was
Something of a sensation caused in business circles her to day by the fact that for the first time in years the United States Dollar dropped. Whereas it had hitherto stood at the unchanging rate of 4,213 Marks, it closed to day at 4.20, Though the drop only amounts to 1.5 Pfennings for one Mark, it is considered symptoma- tie for the nervousness engendered by the conditions in the United States. The possibility is onw be- ing discussed of discontinuing Dollar-quotations here temporari-. V as has already been done in Paris to-day or of adopting the e course as London. where ali foreign currency operations have been suspended:

Leon Blum, resigned...S
Meanwhile moreover the split haa widened by the resignation of the party's secretary general M. Vincent Auriol, and the prospects for a papering up of the cracks appear therefore exceedingly amali ·
The Consolidated Loan, Paris, March 4.-Whilo no de- finite decision has as yet been taken by the Government concern- ing the proposed consolidation loan," it is anticipated that the Ioan will amount to at least $10,000,000,000 Francs and will pro- bably be floated in two sections and repayable after fifteen or twenty years. Echo de Paris considers it not unlikely that the Govern ment may after all have recourse. to the play of establishing a state- lottery in order to alleviate the present financial difficulties and to open up a new course of income. for the Treasury.
