Berlin, Sept. 10th. - Financial writers bere express the opinion that the [Kng- itsh pound is gradually usurping the po- sition of the United States dollar on the tserman bourses. They give as reasons for the shift to steriing, the increasing cost of transacting business on the basis of New- York Ixchange. Tke change, it is pointed out is relieving busines from the payment of heavy eable tolls and saving the considerable time consumed in clearing checks and drafts on the United State:z. The dollar, these writers say, is being viewed now as an expen- sive financial yardstick and therefore it is being blamed for much of ihe econo- mic confusion. They allude to the *‘dol- lar mania’’ with which the country has been obsessed. The resumption of ac- tive trade relations with Great Britaip is also believed to be responsible for the growing practice of adopting sterl'ng as the standard, the difference in the cost of the two exchanges favouring the pound as the unit of commuuicatin. Ev:n if the dollar continues to show a hizher rating in internal money traffie, th: German writers believe that sterl- inx will eventually agzin set the pace on the continental bourses.
