Attar of roses bank deposit
London, Aug. 22.

The Bulgarian Government has deposited 1,000 pounds weight of attar of roses at a London bank, it was disclosed today. Bulgarian sources here described the deposit-worth. £300,000-as "normal commercial practice."
The valuable fragrant attar-the basis for making perfume was often used as a form of financial security, they said.
The rose attar is at the Moscow Narodny Bank in London's financial district. The bank is a prin- cipal Communist finance house for East-West deals.
Informed trade sources suggested that the perfume essence was being used as security in place of gold-in view of Bulgaria's nearly £1 million trade deficit with Britain this year.
