New German Money_The new monet- ary unit is known as the Reichsmark or more commonly the Mark (this sameness of name has led to endless confusion), and it has today a Gold 'value of 23.0 cents ls had the old Mark prior to the War. At the beginning of l9l9, l.000,000 Marks in German Currency had an approx- imato Gold Value of $I22_0OO_00, jug( prior to the adootion of the new monetary unit in November, |923, the Gold Value of l.000,l)00 Marks. in German Currency was an infinitesimal fraction of a Csnt-- in fact, the depreciation had been so great that German Marks were traded in trillions, one trillion (i,i)00,000,000,000) Marks ‘ having a Gold Value of about 24 Cents. ln spite of the tremendous decrease in the Gold Value of German Currency. Ger- man Government Bonds, State, Federal and Municipal issues retained considerable Gold Value in comparison. True enough, their Gold Value was ridiculous by comparison with nonnal Gold Values (German Gov- ernment 5% Bonds worth $238,000.00 be/ fore the Great Wzxr. could be bought for $l0.00 or less during the latter months of |923), butnevcrtlmeless, the great faith of the bondholders that ultimately Gold Marks would be paid where Gold Marks had been received, kept prices up. Prices of German Government Bonds reached their lowest levels at the height of the inflation period. At that time (in the hall of |923), The investment House of C. l\l. Cordaaco 61 Company, strongly advised Canadian investors to buy selected German Government and Municipal Bonds. The outlook at that time, however, was one of extreme gloom. All of Europe was in a chaotic condition. ln- fluflon had been taking place in many countries. Confidence was at d lo_w ebb, The problem of reparations was hang- ing fire over the heads of the German people. Many lost faith in the ultimate recovery of Europe to anything up- proaching pre-war conditions. i The Dawes-Young Pian-- Then came l the Dawes-Young Plan and the liinanciiil Coiniiiissions; uncerteiintiirs were removed.

German Bonds. The measure of compen- lation. accordingly, took the form of Re- valuation Government Bonds were to be revalued, that is. an agreed upon Rate of Valuation would be made; this Rate would apply on the nomial or original Gold Values of the various Bonds. To illustrate: |09?- Revaluation of War Loan Bonds meant l0'/T of l,000,000 Marks, each Mark worth 23.3 Cents or l0% of the total $238,000.00 which would be $23,800.00_in Germany. of course, the Revaluation was expressed in so many Gold Marks for so many Marks Par Value of Bonds. The Election took place. The Nationalist Party which had promised l 5% Revaluation to bondholders came into power. lt must be understood that l5% Revaluation meant that the Govemment would pay Bondliolders l5% of the Gold Value of their holdings. ln the case of German Government 5'? Bonds aggregating |.000,000 Marks, men- tioned heretofore, which were worth $2 38,- 000.00 in l9|4, |5% meant a Gold Value of |50,000 Gold Marks, or $35,700.00. The Rtvaluatioll Lau)--A few months afterthe election a Revaluation Bill was submitted to the Gemian Reichstag (Parlia- ment). This Bill promised only 5% Re- valuation and later the rate was still further reduced to 2'/2%. On _Iuly l5th, the Bill was macle a law and the first step in the way of honorable settlement of her national obligations was taken by Germany. When it became known that only 21/; % of the Gold Value of German Government Bonds could be expected for the present, the market which had discounted (i.e., risen to or reflected) a much higher figure, fell sharply.

Many Cities in Germany are reported to have made an initial Revaluation of their Bonds at as much as |0%, |570 and even 25'/0. We believe that the City of Ham- burg will increase the rate of Revaluation to 5”? before long. The financial condition of the Municipal Government has shown great improvement during the past months- When the_City of Hamburg increases the Revaluation rate applying on the estimated Gold Value of these Bonds-approximately $l22,000.00 per |,000,000 Mark Unit. every $420.00 invested today will earn s profit of $5,680.00 at 5% Revaluation: at |091' the profit will amount to $l l,360 00 for every $420.00 invested today. “fe helieve that eventually, City of Ham- burg Bonds will he Redf-emed at their nor- mal Gold Value or |00'.`f, and the far- isiglited investor can accordingly expr-ct that ultimately lic will obtain the estimated Gr‘1‘d Vzilllr of 1f»|22.000.00 for every |,000.(`1/`0 Mfirks Unit in City of lrlunilriir-: ‘il/'Z '17 Bonds or for every $420.00 invested today. \Vealth of Hamburg- The present pop- ulation of the City/ of Hnmbiirg is close to a million and a hizlf and is ste:-rlily increas- ing._ The City of Hamburg is the greatest seaport in Gfrmany.

The wealth of Hamburg and its citizens is a common by-word in Germany. lt has been created, maiiitainerl and iiicreased in centuries. immovable assets maintain a high stand- ard of value whether expressed in Marks.
