In Eastern Australia 100000, 900
sheep and great herds of cattle and

ing flat ground which thirty years ago
was a desert of soft sand, so rotten"
that the feet sank at every step. This
,once worthless ground has been beaten
into compact soil by the feet of the

When a customer has purchased goods he
makes terms as 10 payment lie either
pays cash at ten or thirty days and takes
his discount or he gives note for the
amount
When he gives his note he has virtually
settled his obligation aud his account Is
credited with the note. This note then
becomes an asset to the person SO receiy-
ing it.
In the same wav the merchant purchases
goods and gives note II he does not pay
cash. by giving his note he also settles
his obligation, and in his case tho charac-
ter of the note is Bills Payable.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1897-07-19

Bills are seldom held by the receiver
until they are due.
A merchant usually makes an arrange.
ment with his banker by which he has q
discount arrangement
The bills are usually deposited as repro
senting cash and be draws against them
und treats them as actual cash in bank.
The bank charges small percentage
tor the accommodation and the merchant
debts his profit and loss account with
the amounts so charged, every month or
otherwise
II the bank does not discount the notes
and bills which he receives he finds bill
broker who will give him cash for them.
The proceeds from these transactions
are entered in tho cash book on the cash
received or debit side Of the book.
The acceptor of bill may wish to
"takc it up" before it is due. He then
finds out where 1t Is and asks the holder
TO allow him something for the advan-
tage of prepayment.
