FORTUNES FROM GERMAN

BONDS.

CRATEFULS THAT WERE WORTHLESS.

40,000 PER CENT, PROFIT.

The New York correspondent of the Doily Mail last month cabled;-

The closing price for German War Loan bonds in the New York market yes- terday was £950 per 1,000,000 mark unit compared with £977 on Friday. In Berlin and Frankfort-on-Main, on the other hand, the closing price gesterday was £983.

Behind these figures lies a "regiarkable лpeculative romance which, in the words of New, York bankers, has brought for tunes to thousands of fools who stepped in where wise men feared to trend." What has actually happened is that the small and ignorant American investor has reaped his revenge for the savings ho lost when "after the war he bought worthless German marks.

About fifteen months ago the German Government, believing that its war loan bonds were valueless, shipped them to America in cratefuls for sale at what- ever price they would bring. They were bought by bootblacks, street peddlers, afd gardeners at the rate of £ a million- mark unit. Ship's stokers, workmen, and stevedores, who were earning good wages, were fascinated by the gures сде million marka." By sheer stupid luck they have reaped a golden harvest.

The price of Prussian Fours jumped from less than £2 in August, 1923, to £80 oa January 2nd last and later to more than £1,000. Berlin pre-war Fours_rom La nearly £3,000 and German War Loan Fives to Luou a million-mark unit.

SHOZBLACK'S WINNINGS.

The chief gainers were Italian immig- rants, who, having made a speculative turn in Italian lire after Signor Musso- libi came into power, used their win- nings to buy German bonds. One shoe- black in a ferryboat bought fifty million- mark units for £1 apiece and sold thirty of them at £430 apiece Aa American- born farmer made £60,000, while a Rus sian refugee carning a living as a stoker in a Fifth-avenue hotel betted £3,000 from an investment of £11. Instances are numerous in which, according to banker, ignorant men" this year reaped profits from 20,000 to 40,000 per cent. from bonds hawked at £1 apiece and repurchased by German nationals at £500 and more

COOK'S AT DEVONSHIRE HOUSE.

PICCADILLY TO-DAY AND FIFTY YEARS AGO.

The announcement that Messrs. Thomas Cook and Son have taken part of the site of Devonshire House brings nearer the definite change that is to come in the old town house of the Duke of Devon- shire, remarks a London reper. In due time the ducal mansion will be pulled down, and a modern building will take its place, the part acquired by the great tourist agenta mare, is a year or two, having frontage in Berkeley-street. will be concentrated the administrative offices of the firm, together with new booking offices and the headquarters of their bank. The link with Ludgate Cir- cus will not be completely broken, for the booking offices that have been known all over the world for half-n-century are still to be retained,
