Plan to Move the Wheat.

The National Bank of Commerce OF
Seattle has submitted a plan for the
moving of the wheat crop of the In
land Empire. The plan is to exchange
sight drafts on New York for the
wheat which drafts will be payable
within Is days after the wheat is de
livered to the exporter. Ordinarily
the wheat is paid for in sight drafts
on London, which very much prolongs
the time which the local banks must
carry the accounts. r. r. Spencer,
vice president of the National Bank OF
Commerce, stated that If the export
ers would agree to accept these sight
drafts on New York he would under
take to furnish the cash and ere
necessary to get the crop started on
its way to Europe. Mr. Loose, repre-
senting the wheat interests, has stated
that he has little doubt that the plan
will be accepted.
