GO on Cash BASIS
Chinese Merchants Forced to
Change Methods.
Restricted Credits Since War Renan
Puts Stop to Age-OId
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
~ 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
+. 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 dav
mas entailed efforts Of every sort on
the part of the Chinese to raise money
Tor llquidating 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
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 at the same
time both foreign and domestic banks
have placed large sums on accommo-
dat5on. 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
of sales by Chinese to foreigners.
Though the Chinese merchants vol
ume of business has in some in.
stances been somewhat curtailed, as
result of his having had to operate
on much shorter credits than he has
been accustomed to, his net profits al
the end of the year, through not hav.
ing been forced to sacrifice merchan.
disc at loss, have been materially
increased.
1t is said also that the Chinese bust
ness men have come to see the advan
tages Of the new system, and that in
all probability they will never go back
to the old.
