the drop in silver, Chinese import
ers are threatened with a loss of
100000 taels during the fiscal
year if the current exchange rate
continues. This is the estimate of
the Importers Association, which is
appealing to British and American
Chambers for aid and an extension
of pending contracts. The fulfill
ment of these contracts would mean
possible widespread bankruptcy.
Foreign Importers also are likely
