German merchante, on the other hand, are ablo" to secure their payments because the Bulgarian branch of the Handelsgraall. schaft" of Berlin, on receipt of the money from the peal buyer notifies the fast to the "Handéle gesellschaft," which thrungen makes n settlement. The Vice- Consul, according to the Board of Trade Journal, therefore strongly recommends the organis- alion of uch a banking institution in Belgaris with a view to extending business relations, and be is willing to supply British capitalists with any further in- formation on the subject that be dan obtain.'
