Gonsuls Keep Tabs on Big Pur- chases and Cable Selling Price to v. 3 Gustoms Authorities. ~ + T t New York, Dec. 24 -American im- porters now purchasing goods in ment'to the United States, are wax- ing fates a result of the depreciation of the pound sterling, the franc and ra, according to stories now going the rounds of the New York whole- sale district. L The only \fly in the ointment\ for the American buyers abroad is the fact that, by a presidential order several weeks ago, United States consuls are required to keep tab on big purchasers, ascertain the selling price and cable thee facts to the United States customs authorities. Then, by figuring the rate of ex- change on the date of purchase, the government is enabled to set a props er value upon the goods for the col- lectfor of import dutles. A court of claims passes upon what are alleged to be unfair appraisals. The situation is said to besome- what likethis: An American buying pound sterling say, on December 12, nerded to pay in American money only $3.66 for British currency nor- mally worth about $4.87. Now he goes to a factory in Nottingham, Eng., to buy laces and there, although prices of course are higher than before the war, he pays for them in,'this de- preciated British money and makes a \bapdsome\ profit. Then the ships the laces to the United States where, by reason of the inflation of the American dollar, they mre retailed for from 100 to 150 per cent, above pre- war prices. The same importer, on the same date, we willsay, goes to France. In Paris he has exchanged his Ameri can dollars for francs. Normally thero are 5.18% francs to the dollar but naw be finds one yankee \simo- leon\ fill buy 11 53 francs. over 100 per cent more tnan before the war The price of silks has gone up but he goes to lyons and there,with his depreciated French monty, he buys more than he has ever bought before at \bargain\ prices. The silks reach New York whare they aro sofd to the topsumer at double their former re tail price. \It is a noticeable thing,\ said ane Wall street banker, \that foreign exchange has bad its most preci- pitous and serious decline since the rejection of the peace treaty by the senate. This month it has reached thoe lowest figure on record. Wholly apart from the league of nations nelther the American manufacturer nor the investor is gotug to put mil- lons into fotreign-invastments until they know more of wihap Washing ton's political relations with Europe are going to be. \Meanwhils England, in the past 11 months, dispite the handicap of labor, currency and formidable prices couped itself to the extent of re- fix her imports by $478.000,000 and is otherwise strengthening her economic position, Her exports for the same petliod bave been $1,787, 000.000. Our own October figures show that the United States' excess of exports, in the ign months trade with Engiand, was $335.000,000, great or than the your before.\ o LaNSNES ETEATAN FOREIGN NOTALES SEGAETARY ANS WIFE caive FIRST OF SERiEs or pimneERrs.
