rayments will usually be made by drafts drawn on Mndnn or Amcrtmn 

 liankK. I'reillis are siveo. by fon Itn llrms, of from one to nix months, 

 but It has lieen usual for the local Importers to purclinse for cash from 

 Amerlrnn dealers. This kind of payment Is therefore well understoo<l. 

 tbouch It Is possible that larger business mlsht be cnrrlinl on If credits 

 were siven. Most of the loial llrms who handle lumlHT are In a position 

 to pay cash If necessary. Exchance Is usually ncEotlated through the 

 local banks at a cost of approximately fO.Oo for each $20. 



I>nnilier Is purchasc<l almost entirely on the basis of price, and. It 

 freleht rates nnd other charges make It possible to land the goods at a 

 cost approaching that of European lumber, there Is no reason why Amer- 

 ican goods should not receive the same treatment, there being no prejudice 

 against their use.
