EXCHANGE.

1. A Bank Draft, or Bill of Exchange, is a written order directing one person to pay a specified sum to another.

2. A Sight Draft directs payment to be made at sight or on presentation.

3. A Time Draft directs payment to be made at a certain time after sight or date.

4. An Acceptance is a draft with the word "accepted" written across its face, together with the name of the acceptor, who thus makes himself responsible for payment.

5. The method of paying by draft money due at a distance is called Exchange.

6. Drafts are bought and sold, and are described as at par, i.e., as having their face value; as at a premium, i.e., as having more than their face value; and as at a discount, i.e., as having less than their face value.

[blocks in formation]

The method of using the above draft is as follows: Assume that Jonathan Wills, of St. Louis, Mo., owing Wm. E. Smith, of Philadelphia, $274.17, and purposing to pay the debt, enters the American Exchange

Bank in St. Louis, and, by depositing the requisite sum of money, obtains the draft. He then writes on the back thereof, "Pay to the order of Wm. E. Smith," and signs his own name. He finally forwards the draft to Smith in Philadelphia, who, taking it to the Mechanics' National Bank and writing his name on the back, receives the money.

[blocks in formation]

The method of using the above draft is as follows: Assume that Henry Smith, of New York, owes John Hill, of Chicago, $200, and that Hill, desiring to collect the money, prepares the above draft, and having endorsed it thus: "Pay to George Jones, Cashier, or order, for collection," sends it to the bank in New York of which Jones is cashier. Jones, receiving the draft, presents it to Smith, who writes upon its face, "Accepted," signs his name, and the draft is said to be honored. Smith is now under obligation to pay to the bank the $200 at the end of the ten days. Should Smith fail to pay, the draft is said to be dishonored, and is, in consequence, protested unless marked "without protest."
