Chinese Merchants Forced to
Change Methods.
Restricted Credits Since War Began
Puts Stop to Age-old
Custom.

New York.-The beneficial effects of
restricted credits in China since the
war started in 1914, which have forced
the Chinese merchants to do business
pretty much on a cash basis, were
particularly noticeable in the unusual
ly small number of failures on Chi
nese New Years day, which is the
annual settlement day in the Chinese
commercial world.
According to Consul General George
e. Anderson of HongkOng, banking in
terests in China have found that the
demand for accommodations has
fallen off tremendously during the last
three years.
Prior to the war ard from time i'm
memorial this annual settlement day
has entailed efforts Of every sort on
the part of the Chinese to raise money
for liquidating their debts accumulated
during the year.
Frequently they have had TO sell
much of their stock in business at a
great loss, even personal property as
well, in order to raise sufficient funds
to "save their face" as it is called.
An annual street fair for the sale of
all sorts of property, personal and
otherwise, has been an Old-established
custom in, Hongkong for generations,
almost for centuries, while ut the same
time both foreign and domestic banks
have placed large sums on accommo-
dation. In the last three years. how
