LONG CREDITS GIVEN TO ITALY Britain Sets Example of Doubtful Merit American Exporters Think Xcw York, Aug. 6.—Recent dis patches from London state that the British Treasury will now permit three renewals of 90-day bills grant ed in payment of British merchan dise exported to Italy. British business looks upon this decision of the Treasury as of the greatest importance at the present time when American traders are of fering Italian buyers special induce ments to purchase American goods. Hitherto credits for British pur chases could only be obtained from the Italian National Institute of Ex change, which is reported to have been difficult and often impossible. The American Chamber of Com merce in London understands that the demand for these long credits arises not so much from the actual needs of the Italian buyers as from the desire to hold over payment till such time as the exchange value of the lire rises sufficiently to make it advantageous to pajt at that moment. Such credits are not looked upon with much favor by the bulk of American exporters. The National Foreign Trade Council understands that even the most respectable Ital ian firms are now asking for these long credits In the hope of benefit ing by fluctuations in exchange. There Is an clement of danger in such procedure which is leading American concerns to exercise spec ial care in this extension accredits. Many American sellers, ij#fact, are insisting upon in American funds. IF \Kv SVFER From any do not delay. monstration at Gorgas 1 ITMIBLE ! FORTHj™ On Body ]l BlistersVost Sleep, yiticurajfels.
