interest are then credited to accrued interest as received; and the balance against this account at any time shows the amount of past-due interest. This plan insures that interest shall be placed to the credit of earnings during the period in which it is earned, and it also serves as a safeguard against overlooking any past-due items of interest.

Word RECEIVED FROM THE CLEVELAND TRUST COMPANY, ALL SECURITIES AND OTHER PAPERS DUE IN CONNECTION WITH THE WITHIN DESCRIBED LOAN. CLEVELAND, O SIGN BELOW FIG. 168.-BACK OF CARD LEDGER FOR TIME LOANS. to a description of the collateral, and to the receipt which is taken when collateral is delivered. The receipt on the card is more convenient than a separate receipt, as it insures that everything in the way of record of closed-out loans shall be filed together. With some loans, however, and particularly with those of brokers, the changes of collateral are so many that there is not room on the loan card for the various receipts. For such cases it is convenient to have a separate form for the substitution of collateral, such as is shown in Figure 166. The separate receipt is useful also in the numerous cases where the owner of the collateral does not come for it in person, but sends a messenger. Figure 167 shows the face, and Figure 168 the back, of a card ledger for time loans. In this form the loan account and the description of collateral are given on the face of the card, the interest record and the receipt being on the back. These ledger forms may easily be adapted to permanently-bound or loose-leaf books if desired. It is important to know at all times the amount of loans carried on each kind of collateral, to avoid loaning too heavily on any securities, and for reference in case loans must be called because of decline of collateral. For this purpose a collateral line ledger is used, of which a loose-leaf form is shown in Figure 169, and a card form in Figure 170. The figures are self-explanatory. Figure 171 shows a card used for a collateral line ledger on a different plan. An index card is provided for each kind of collateral, and behind each index card are filed the cards like that shown in Figure 171, a separate card being used for each loan. When a loan is paid, or other collateral substituted, the old card is removed from the file and destroyed. To get the total of any given collateral held, or the amount of loans on same, it is necessary to add the amounts on the several cards that may be filed after the index card. John Smith NAME Figure 172 shows a form of collateral note used in New York city. A shorter form, used in a large city in the Central States, reads as follows: On demand after date. .promise to pay to the order of for value received, with Interest at the rate of......per cent. per an- The market value of which is now $. No......... Address.. This form, providing as it does for quarterly payments of interest on a demand note, illustrates the custom in some localities of carrying demand loans for several months or even years, so long as the collateral does not decline in value to a point which makes the margin too small. It is evident that this is quite different from the "call" loan as usually carried in New York city. $300000 Ninety days pay the COLUMBIA TRUST COMPANY, or order, at the office of said Company, 26 Nassau Street, City of New York, Three thousand with interest at the rate of.... 1 fior per centum (.
