    CIRCULAR No. 30.

    FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK

    62 CEDAR STREET

    NEW YORK, July 24, 1915.

    To THE CASHIER,

    SIR:

    TRADE ACCEPTANCES

    With this letter is enclosed Circular No. 16 of the Federal Reserve Board and the accom

    panying Regulation "P", relating to "Trade Acceptances" and expressing the attitude of the

    Board towards the development of this class of paper, consisting of a draft drawn by the seller

    of goods upon the purchaser, accepted by the purchaser payable at a definite date, and covering

    an actual purchase and sale of goods.

    The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, desiring to cooperate in the development of

    such paper, has established, and the Board has approved, a rate of y/2 per cent, for the redis

    count by member banks of trade acceptances having a maturity, at the time of discount, of not

    more than 90 days. Trade acceptances with not more than 10 days to run will be rediscounted

    at the 3 per cent, rate already established for such maturities.

    While the promissory note is usually based partly on goods sold (accounts receivable) and

    partly on goods unsold (inventories), the trade acceptance represents only a consummated sale

    and is therefore, in form, the most liquid class of commercial paper. For this reason and

    because such paper necessarily bears two names, the bank has established a preferential rate

    for the rediscount of it, without, however, intending to indicate thereby that any less careful

    scrutiny should be made of the credit of the names involved than in the case of other commercial

    paper.

    It is anticipated that trade acceptances will gradually supplement, without superseding, the

    cash discount system now so thoroughly established. Such supplemental use will doubtless occur

    whenever conditions mutually advantageous are agreed upon between buyer and seller, and will

    enable the seller to obtain definite maturities upon accounts otherwise open, as well as readily

    to transfer title to his most desirable banking assets, his accounts receivable.

    Respectfully,

    BENJ. STRONG, JR.,

    Governor.

    FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD.

    WASHINGTON, July 15, 1915.

    B ILLS O F EXCH ANGE DRAWN AGAINST SALES OF GOODS AN DACCEPTED BY PURCHASERS, HERE IN

    A FTER R EFER R ED TO AS " TRADE ACCEPT ANCES. "

    By Regulation B,Series of 1915, the Board hasprescribed the conditions upon whichcommercial paper may be rediscounted with Federal Reserve Banks, and,byRegulation J,Series of 1915,rules have been promulgated covering operations in bankers' acceptances.The attached regulation is to deal with "trade acceptances" as a distinct class of commer

    cial paper, forwhich theBoard is ready to approve the establishment of a discount ratesomewhat lower than that applicable to other commercial paper. .

    These trade acceptances are more particularly defined in the appended Regulation P,Series of 1915, and in promulgating it the Board expresses the belief that it will con

    siderably enlarge thescope of service of Federal Reserve Banks and, incidentally, assist in

    developing a class of "double-name" paper, which has shown itself in so many countriesa desirable form of investment and an important factor in modern commercial bankingsystems.
