Back To \ Cash Basis
(United Press Telegraph-Cable Service.)
Seattle Jan. 18 ? The period of clearing bouse certificates for this city is now over.
All the banks will resume payment in the coin of the realm on Monday. It is not antici
pated that there will be the least ripple over the face of the current of busiuess on account
3f the resumption. The use of clearing house certificates is said by many business men to
have helped business, in a way, rather than thereverse. People holding the paper are
said to lave spent it more freely than they would have spent the money, on the principle
that the' goods which the paper would buy was of more certain value than the paper itself,
and t.h -efore they were more willing to exchange it for the goods, while the merchants
were quite as willing to accept it. With resumption at San Francisco accomplished some
time ago, this puts the whole coast practically back to first principles, as before the flurry.
