CHAPTER NO. %.
The Spell.
After that there was nothing for the
girl in blue to do but lead Freddie
cross the piazza to Estrelda. All
things considered, she did it, too, with
a pretty good grace. OF course. she
herself had known that she could not
hope to hold his attention much longer.
But his interest in her had led her TO
believe that they might have had one
more dance together, anyhow. But
even If this had been impossible because
Of some fancied ~discourtesy to their
hostess-the Eldridge girl-Freddie
could have had but two or three dances
with various nonentities and then re-
turned to her. He might eve be stop

Actually, she hadn't had time to find

She did not hear what Estrelda saiC

knew that in IN incredibly short time
she was standing alone, while EstreldS
went down into the shadows of the

Facilitate Cancellations.


Facilitatlon of the offsettting OF debts
between individuals is the real purpose
Of the trade acceptance. Acceptances,
or time bills of exchange, pass from one
person to another just the same as the
actual money, serving the same pur-
pose as the transfer of gold itself In, the
cancellation of an obligation, and they
are the cheapest form Of credit instru-
ments. Approval by the bank of the
acceptance makes 1t virtually a circu-
lating credit Of the highest nature, and
enable the bank to fulfil one of its most
important functions, the collection and
clearance Of obligations without the
actual transfer of cash IN each indi-
vidual case.
The trade acceptance has proven so
practical II is rapidly coming into favor
with foreign buyers, who, after all,
must pay the greater part of all the
collection and interest charges. Feeling
that he can do this better at his end Of
the line he ranges what is called an
acceptance credit. To do this he obtains
a letter Of credit from his local bank.
This Is directed to an American bank
and authorizes 1t to accent drafts drawn
by one or more American exporters on
certain terms Of credit. the shipping
documents being attached to the bills
Of exchange. In this case the transac-
ton is between the We banks. The
American bank accepts the drafts and

Branch Expanding.
While officials OF the local reserve
| bank branch are reticent about divulg-
| ing the amount of business the bank
has handled in trade acceptances
since the branch was opened, 1t Is
known that the volume Is tremendous
and is constantly increasing. The quar-
tiers of the old Mercantile bank, taken
over for banking facilities for the re-
serve bank, were soon found insuffi-
cient, so an upper floor in the building
