G0°ON CASH BASIS Chinese Merchants - Forced to Change Methods. i Restricted Credits Since War Began Puts stop to Age-old cunom. New York.—The beneficial effects of restricted credits in China since the war started in 1914, which haye forced the Chinese merchants to do. business pretty much on a. cash basis, were particularly noticeable in the unusual- ly small number of failures on Chi-: nese New Year’s day, which is the annual settlement day in the Chinese commercial world. According to Consul General George B. Anderson of Hongkong, banking in- terests in China have found that the demand for accommodations has fallen off tremendously during the last three yeats. 3 Prior to the war acd from time lm- emorial - this' annual settlement day as entailed efforts @f every sort on the part of the Chinese to raise money for liquidating their debts accunmlnted during the year. Frequently they have had to sell much of their stock in business at a agreat loss, even personal property &s well, in order to raise sufficient funds to “save their face,” as it is called. An annual street fair for the sale of all sorts of property, personal and otherwise, has been an ¢ld-established custom in Hongkong'for generations, _almost for centuries, while at the same time both foreign and domestic banks have -placed large sums on accommo- dation. In the last three years, how- ever, loans have been’ small, property sales’ have been light -in comparld‘on, and the street fair has become'the oceasion for sales:to Chinbse instead of sales by Chinese to foreigners, = Though. the Chinese merchant’s vol- ume of business -has in some ‘in: stances been somewhat curtailed, as; a result of his having had to operate on much shorter credits than he has been accustomed to, his net profits ai the end of the year, through not hav- ing been forced to sacrifice merchan dise at a loss, havée been materially increased. It is said also that the Chinese bust: ness men have come to see the advan: tages of the new system, and that ip all probability they will never ‘go back to the old.
