LITTLE BUSINESS
AT CONSTANTINOPLE
Is Affected by Uncertainty of Turkish
and Russian Political Situation.
(By The Associated Press.)

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 9.-Bus-
mess is at standstill here, owing to
the uncertainties of the Russian and
J Turkish political situations. Normally
/ the importing and exporting center for
! the Near and Middle East and par
| TALLY for the Balkans, this city is
now commercial islet, its warehouses
! filled with merchandise of every de-
| scription for which there is no market.
Everybody owes everybody else,
i with nobody paying bills. A financial
crash would have come months ago
but for fact that no firm can afford
| to demand payment of its bills. To do
SO would throw the debtor into bank
ruptcy, force more unsa1eable goods on
| the market at sacrifice prices, and the
| firm forcing payment would in it's
| turn to be called on to pay bills which,
under present conditions, it cannot
meet.
| There is an increasing number of
| trading ships going to South Russian
| ports. mostly British, Greek and Ital-
| ian. To date no American ship mas
| gone, partly because of the Lack of
trade and, in the case Of Shipping
board vessels, the decision of the man
agement not to permit any of its ships
| to touch bolsheyik ports.
| These vessels that do go to Black
Sea ports of Russia claim the ventures
| are failures, yet keep on going, appar-
| emily finding enough business to pay
ship expenses.
| Other than American tobacco buyers,
many merchants find the risks of trad
| ing so great, partly because of fluc-
tuating exchanges, that they prefer
| to speculate in exchange. They claim
| this risks are smaller. Banking bust
ness for the present consists in good
part OF such speculations on the part
| of customers.
| In the face of such a situation, Con-
stantinople remains the dearest of
| world capitals, from the point OF
view of living. Retailers of foods and
clothing have formed practically a
trust to keep up prices. They say they
| bought their goods at high prices and
must sell them so. AS there is no such
| things as price controls or public opin-
| ion here, retailers are permitted to
gouge the refugee population at will.
American wholesalers in many cases
have preferred to take their losses on
merchandise sent here on consignment
and reship to the United States. Other
| wholesalers attempted to get rid OF
stocks locally by organizing refugee
Russians into street vendors of arti-
cles like tea and chocolate and small
drygoods. but the plan hasn't worked
In in
stances failed to make returns.
Business is expected to improve
when such a government is established
in Russia that it can obtain long time
credits.

RUMORS OF CHANGE
IN CHINESE RULE
Suggested That Boy Emperor, Now :
Prisoner, May BE Restored to
Throne

PICKING, July 9. = The Chinese
newspapers are freely and openly dis
cussing prospects of a far reaching
change in Chinese affairs which they
have declared is possible or even prob
able this summer.
One OF the dominant figures to
whom all experienced observers look
for an initial movement in bringing
about the predicted change is Genera
Chang Tsi-lin, military governor OF
Manchurfa, whose influence in the
capital is now paramount.
The prevailing belief is that General
Chang is favorable to the restoration
to the Chinese throne of the boy en-
peror, who has long been a prisoner
in the Forbidden City.
