I. f. Turkish port, or 'Franco Domicile:' giving thirty to ninety days credit to firms of standing; In 'cash' quotations, always quoting ‘cash on ar rival of goods' and Invariably giving some discount for cash: accepting small Initial orders; using care In packing, promptness In shipping and by careful ly studying before hand what shipping route will be to the Interest of custom ers In regard to time, cost and liability to damage by transhipments. ■In the case of Turkey, the duty Is almost uniformly 11 per cent ad valo rem, therefore, quoting ‘Franco Domi cile,' that Is delivery free Into custom er’s store, should be comparatively easy, and It Is a very, popular method." $4,000,000 DEALS Purchased Bonds at One Price and Sold-to Bank For Increase.
