U, S. IMPORTERS 1
ARE WAXING FAT
Slump in Money Value Brings
Big Profits.
ILL EUROPE IS AFFECTED
American Changes His Good U. S.
Money into British, French or Ital¬
ian Currency, Then Buys Goods
Which H# Ships to the United
States, Where, Because of Inflation
of American Dollar, He Reaps Big
Profit.
American importers now purchasing
goods in England, France and Italy I
for shipment to the United States, are
waxing fat as a result of the depreci¬
ation of the pound sterling, the franc
and lira, according to stories now go¬
ing the rounds of the New York whole¬
sale district.
The only “fly in the ointment” for
the American buyers abroad is the
fact that, by a presidential order sev¬
eral weeks ago, United States consuls
are required to keep tab on big pur¬
chases, ascertain the selling price and
cable these facts to the United States
customs authorities. Then, by figur¬
ing the rate of exchange on the date
of purchase, the government is enabled
to set a proper value upon the goods
for the collection of Import duties. A
court of claims passes upon what aro
alleged to be unfair appraisals.
How It Is Done.
The situation Is said to be somewhat
like this:
An American buying pound sterling
say, on December 12, needed to pay In
American money only $3.66 for British
currency normally worth about $4.87.
Now he goes to a factory In Notting¬
ham, England, to buy laces, and there,
although prices of course are higher
than before the war, be pays for them
in this depreciated money and makes
a “handsome” profit. Then he ships
the laces to the United States, where
by reason of the Inflation of the Amer¬
ican dollar, they are retailed for from
100 to 150 per cent above prewar
prices.
The same importer, on the same
date, we will .say, goes to France. In
Paris he has exchanged his American
dollars for francs. Normally there are
5.18^ francs to the dollar, but now he
finds one Yankee “simoleon” will buy
11.52 francs, about 60 per cent more
than before the war. The price of
silks has gone up, hut he goes to Ly¬
ons. and there, with his deprecla/ed
French money, he buys more than he
has ever bought before at “bargain”
prices. The silks reach New York,
where they are sold to the consume*
at double their former retail price.
Next this importer visits Italy,
where he finds the lira, 5.18% of
which, like the franc, could be bought
for one American dollar, now at a vast
discount. In fact, he receives 13.47
lira for one American dollar and, well
financed, he goes to Naples, where he
negotiates the purchase of tapestries
costing, of course, more than in 1914,
but in reality cheaper when purchased
with the present Italian currency.
The same financial conditions exist
all over Europe, and In the former
central empires, of course, they are
reported much worse. In the allied
countries, however, where there Is na¬
tional stability and greater ability to
pay, the depreciated money is effect¬
ing some strange changes. A dinner
which, before the war, In Paris could]
be had for a nominal sum, now cost9
from 20 to 50 francs.
American manufacturers, mean¬
while, who desire to sell their products
abroad, are demanding payment In
American dollars at par. Recently the
Belgian government, it Is said, bought
20 American locomotives, for which
payment, instead of being In Belgian
money, was demanded In American
dollars, thus adding from 15 to 20 per
cent to the manufacturer’s normal
profit. Naturally this discourages for¬
eign buying.
Cancels Big Orders.
On the other hand, a big American
locomotive concern, apprehensive of
the turn of political affairs abroad,
due to delay over the peace treaty, is
reported practically to have canceled
all foreign advance orders. Such or¬
ders, calling for delivery In thri-e, six
or nine months, are said to be prac¬
tically non-existent in the locomotive
trade. Similar conditions exist in oth¬
er Industries. That Is why American
manufacturers have been saying: *'H
the peace treaty is not soon signed It
will mean the complete loss of out
foreign trade.”
There are committees of the most
prominent United States bankers and
business men, representing the Ameri¬
can Bankers’ association, the United
States Chamber of Commerce and th«
International trade conference, who
have been at work on this problem ol
foreign exchange for months, and who
will be ready to remedy the present
situation as soon as the peace treaty
becomes a fact for the American na¬
tion.
Gets Back $20 Lost Years Ago.
Mrs. Edward Joslin of Lafayette
Ind., has received $20 from Rev. Dor¬
ian Briede. pastor of St. Boniface’s
Roman Catholic church in that city
to replace a similar amount which
she lost 16 years ago. The priest told
her that the money had been found
by some person who recently becanis
remorseful and confessed to the priest
that she had kept the money from th«
owner.
