EXCHANGE BARS U. S. TRADE.
American Business Men Have Lit
tie Chance in Balkan Countries.

caEO Daily News. Copyright. 1920.
BUCHAREST, March g. Several
Americans have arrived here for bus
mess purposes, but their hopes are
likely to be dashed. Unless American
firms are prepared to give long time
credits nothing can be done in the
Balkans on account of the very low
rate of exchange. The present aver
age equivalents for the American
dollar follow: Serbia. 20 centimes;
Rumania. 60 leis: Bulgaria. levas.
Dealers are unable to purchase any
thing in the American or English
market, as the prices are prohibitive.
Italy seems to be the only country
with which Balkan business is pos
sible, the prices being lower and the
wholesalers being willing to give
long time credits. Under the circum-
stances the Americans do not show
much eagerness to make contracts.
The question Of the reconstruction OF
the railways is still open. but In case
the work is intrusted to any foreign
concern there is every chance that
the English will obtain the contract.

On pay day the camps became places Of blood. as the women and the weak fell before these bruteS.

Camp after camp met the man. bully after bully was given 8 thrashing and sent into the wood sulking and plotting re- Venge.
