New Plan More Elastic

This differs from the previous appli-
cation OF the scheme In that the amount
Is no longer based on the actual cost
Of the goods, and the Government only
guarantees up TO a maximum OF 20
per cent Of the bill, whereas previous ad
vances were up to the full 100 per cent
cost Of the goods. II the importer puts
up security to cover the whole amount
guaranteed. the Government. in case Of
default will have no recourse against
the exporter. But the Government il
prepared to operate the scheme in cases
where the importer puts up less than
full security or even in cases where the
importer puts up no security at all.
In such cases, II there Is loss the
Government will retain recourse
against the exporter for half the loss
after the deduction Of the amount. II

amount realized by the security tshould

The new scheme offers conditions on
which the Government is prepared TO

them in transactions carried through for
exporters. For an agreed premium the
Government will take risks up to 20 per

1t is not only a hard thing to do
business these days" said an uptown
banker yesterday. but IL is also almost
as difficult task to maintain a pleasant
disposition. People are harder to handle
today than at any other time in my
business career. They want 80 much
more and some OF them do the most e1-
nsperating picayune little things. You We

Some flrmness is noted in money mar

due naturally to the current demand
for funds TO finance the crops The
movement from the seaboard has set

some cases the tendency has been easier.
and there have been more loans made nj

The general attitude Of interior bank
Is to discourage the holding Of grain
back on the farmers. and country hold
ers are being urged to liquidate their
holdings ny RAPIDLY az possible. This
attitude on the part of the banks i
expected to result In free movement
of wheat and other grains. AS tn"
crop season progresses. the demand for
crop moving funds will increase. but
in the Southwest the wheat appears TO
be seeking market channels with only
n moderate call for assistance. Moro
funds probably will be required when
