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 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 IF every sort on
the part Of the Chinese to raise money
for liouidating 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
we'll, in order to raise sufficient funds
fo "save their face" as 1t 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 at the same
time both foreign and domestic banks
have placed large sums on accOmno-
dation. In the last three years. how
ever. loans have been small. property
sales have been light in comparison.
and the street fair has become the
occasion for sales to Chinese instead

There are linen hats in vivid cOlOrs,
which have been substituted for the

green linen with black satin binding

There are wrapped turbans taken
from the Orient and worn with capes.
They are considered the exact type of
head covering to go with a flowing
body covering. They are made of
satin; of the new satin straw. which
is as supple as cloth Of obi crepe; of
shantung. and sometimes Of Chinese
brOcade. They are as complicated In
their twistings as the headgear Of the
CObbler of Cairo or that Of a negro
