With my limited German skills I translate Geldkurse as buying rate, maybe exchange rate or something in that sense... Can't quite make a clear descion...
As to Bankplätze it means Bankplaces literally, but in this context I haven't the slightest clue. However, Deutsche Bankplätze in such context may mean German Banks or banks in germany... I am trying to offer the best that I can.
Still, Waehrungsverhaeltnisse does mean currency ratios, so if we could just figure out the bloody chart we would be in luck, lol. Yet, Devisen means visas... so the second line is like: "Buying rates of the the visas..."
Perhaps if you could ask a native German speaker he could help you more on the translations.

We have this:

But in reality it doesn’t bring us that much closer to understanding the chart. We need an economist or else one of us will need to really concentrate on all those numbers…but nobody gives a s*** and I can't do it now.

Deutsche Bankplätze = German currency markets/stock exchangesKarl wrote:A start:

What does Geldkurse and Bankplätze mean exactly?
Geldkurs = 'bid price', the price to sell the thing (e.g. foreign currency)
The opposite is Briefkurs, 'ask price', the price to buy the thing (e.g. foreign currency).

Here is more info, this time provided by nondescript handle aka Mark:
(In the rest of the text: Krone = crown, gramm is the SI gramm)
A-H money conversion 1892-1900: 1 Gulden (=100 Kreuzer; 1 Gulden = 14 gramm silver) = 2 Kronen (1 Krone = 100 Heller; 10 Kronen = 3.049 gramm gold)
1 A-H Krone = 0.304 gramm gold
1 German Mark = 0.358 gramm gold; gold relation 1:1.177
This works fine with the German column of your chart: ~118 Kronen buys 100 Mark
1 Pound Sterling = 7.322 gramm gold; gold relation 1:24; British column: ~24 Kronen buys 1 Pound Sterling.
1 French Franc = 0.290 gramm gold; gold relation 1:0.95; French column: ~95 Kronen buys 100 French Francs.
1 US Dollar = 1.504 gramm gold, this would indicate that 4.94 Kronen buys 1 Dollar.
If no one else does it first we can finally tie it all up next week some time.
