Fault With Merchants.

I'm this connection" said Mr.. HUI
Der, Il would like to suggest that the
merchant do as much of this work
obligation or shame between your
debtor and you will often bring bet
ter results than the collection agency
Many merchants make the excuse that
they are too busy to NEEDLE with COL
lections and the credit department.
This view is caused not so much by
lack of time as by lack Of system
Every merchant should have a credit
and time TO that end will bring about
wonderful results. Prior to taking bad
accounts into courts, the merchant
should do all of the preliminary work
himself and not leave this to the at
torney. Give no accounts to outside
collection agencies" warned Mr.. HUI
Der, because you will find these in
sututions just as hard to get your
money from as the bad debtor. Some
cases that are brought to court are
nuisances. If you extend credit to a
man voluntarily, on his plea of pow
erty or necessity, and through kind
ness of heart extend credit to him and
he does not pay as promptly as you ex-
pected. do not take his case into
court and never let it get out of
your own hands"
Mr.. Huber concluded by explaining
the law on these various subjects and
gave the merchants many good point
ers.
The banquet was served prior to the
business session, at O'Clock, a VIC
trola concert also being enjoyed.

GOOD GAIN MADE
BY WHEAT LISTS
Decided Advance Registered as Result
of More Favorable Dispatches
from Abroad.

Chicago, Feb. 11.-Wheat scored q
decided advance IN prices today as
result of Liverpool dispatches that
shipments from Argentina and Austria
liza were small. Demand from British
millers was said to have become more
urgent. Offerings here proved light
until the upturn brought about liberal
profit taking by holders. The opening,
which ranged from s4@B to 21s@2A
higher, with May at 1855 to 1.30. and
July at 121ss to 1.22A was followed by
slight reaction.
Word that some new export bust
ness had been done led to fresh up
turn, but the influence proved to be
only transient. Evening of trade SO
as to prepare for the double holiday
ahead resulted in the days advance
being largely wiped out.
The close was unsettled, Il to nc
