TERMS OF GREDIT. ad The Time Allowed by the Varipus Coun. tries of the World, The following data regarling the terms of credit allowed 1n various coun- | Fefoits of United | by the Gov- | tries are derived from States consuls publishe ernment. It appears that in Germany the credit | system is very widespread, and that the time allowed purchasers to settle their accounts is generally much longer than | in France and England, Nearly every commercial and manufacturing branch | of business has its own particular terms of credit, and there is no uniformity in this respect. In England, a payment of the price of the goods delivered is required at the | end of three months, dating from the dav of shipment. In France, a four-month’s acceptazce is required to be sent in settlement of | the invoice. In Italy, but little credit business is done and none without good security being given. In Spain, four-fifths of the transae- tions are done on & cash hasis, while in Portugal great liberality is shown, and quite a long credit is usually allowed. In Austria, it is scarcely possible to | do business without allowing a very long credit, which is nearly always one of six months, In Turkey, even objects of prime necessity are sold on credit, and in this country, as well as in Russia, the time allowed is in most cases twelve months, In Canada, settlements are made at the end of thirty days, with a discount " of five per cent. Sometimes a credit of from three to six months is allowed but in this case there is nou discount granted upon payment of the account. In Mexico the large commercial houses willingly give credit of from six to eight months, and in the retail trade long terms are given customers in which to settle their accounts. In Costa Rica a credit of from six to twelve months is given in case of merchandise im- ported from Europe, in order that the goods may be easily and quickly dis- posed of. But since this system of cre- dit has often led to losses it is now being given up. In Cuba the time fixed for payment is generally from four to five months after delivery of the goods. The consul general of the United States at Rio states that one of the greatest drawbacks to commercial inter- course with Brazil resides in the neces- sity of allowing too long a credit. At Rio Janeiro, as in Buenos Ayres, the minimum credit is six months and of- ten more, In the Bermudas, accounts are set- tiled but once a year. The 30th of June is the day usually fixed for the pay- ments. In China, it is not customary to give credit. Money is obtained Bo id ders, who exact an interest of from 8 to 12 per cent. Business is nearly always conducted upon a cash basis. In Australia, a credit of six months is generally allowed. #7 The Street Car Conductor Talks, * The callow conductor poked his head into the car and said in a loud, distinct tone, “Fourteenth street station.” “When that young fellow knows his business he'll say, ‘Fourteenth street,” ” commented the veteran of the road, who had just informed the passengers that the street they had reached was “Tenth.” P “Know any funny stories? See that gentleman in the second seat there? He's a broker, and a great covey for practical jokes. He's getting fat now, and will dle of apoplexy one of these da laughing over his own fakes. When he goes from his house or office to take a train, he will walk very leis nrely until he is within a few yards of the station, when he will suddenly break into a run and rush up the stairs. If there's one thing more than another that a man hates to miss it is an elevat- ed train, and when the fellows behind him see the broker begin to run, every Tom, Dick and Harry of them within five blocks rushes pelimell to the sta tion. The broker appears to enjoy it. I've heard say that running was good exercise; but it seems to make some men swear a great deal. Haven't they got onto it by this time? Young man, when you have lived as many years in the world as | have, you wiil find out that nothing that appeals to the gulli- bility of huwan nature ever becomes a chestnut. “Yes, I'm somewhat of a philosopher, but it was the profession that made me 30. You will notice that a woman never gets out of this end of a car. It doesn’t matter even il she is in the rear seat, when she wants to get out she will push her way right through the car, though itis packed like a sardine box. It is superstition or fashion? Well, that's hard to say. In a horse car she will al- ways walk out the other way, but per- haps in that case she is airaid of the horses.” Di A The Divers in Terres Steals, No white diver ever tried pearl fish- ing in Torres strait who could begin to fill the place of the amphibious natives, They work for hoursat a time, at depths of W to 100 feet under water. They are more venturesome, too, than the white divers, and think nothing of sticking their hands into all the holes in the coral, although the marine monsters they find at these depths are not always pleasant acquaintances to stir up. " The white divers were found to be useloss as soon as the shallow waters around the island were worked out. When the fishers had to go out to sea for shell, the black fellows proved that they could stay under longer and go deeper than the whites. The result was that they drove their white com- petitors out of the business. The sup- ply of divers for the pur of the first class pear] shell trade is not abund- ant even among the natives, and the rivalry for their services is so great that they command enorme us wages. Many of them got $100 a moth and a good percentage of the peans they nnd, Black fellows who ean stay below many hours in ninety fet of wale often enrn from $2,000 to $2.6 0 a year, though in any other business they could not com- mand $i a week. After eight or nine months’ hard fishing they usually strike work, whether the Bosses like it or not, und off they post in parties of tive or six to Sydney, where they lead riotous lives for a month or six weeks unt | all their sgn is spent.
