BULGARIA BURDENED
WITH FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS

Sofia, May 29.-Like most other
European countries, Bulgaria's finan-
cial problem is serious one. Facing
an indemnity to the allies Of $780,
100000 and national debt of sever
al billions, she has gold reserve of
only S7,349, 9,OOO, and a silver reserve
of s3,545, 800. Her war debt amounts
to $4,000, 100000 and her revenue
last year was $35,oO0,0O0.
Added to these burdens IS the ad-i
verse rate Of exchange. The Bulga-I
rian leva, worth normally zoe has
now a value of only a cent and a,
quarter. Alexander Stambolisky, the
prime minister, has expressed the
hope that the United States govern
ment might extend loan to Bulga-I
ria to tide her over her present fin
ancial crisis. An advance Of $1O,OOO,-,,
600 he said, would improve the value,
of Bulgarian money and facilitate,
the purchase by the government Of
goods in the United States.
In addition to her surplus of wheat
and maize and large number of cat
tie, Bulgaria's most valuable staple
asset is her tobacco, of which she
has 10000 pounds of opium Tor med
icinal purposes and considerable
quantity of altar of roses, the latter
being valued at 500 a pound.
A number of American commercial
firms have established offices in So
fla and limited quantities or made
goods are finding their way on the
market. Italy and England also are
carrying on an active trade with Bul-
garia.
