Remittance houses transferred money in several ways - cash, drafts, and as commercial goods. A customer purchased a draft for a certain amount in Chinese dollars. Rather than immediately send the money, the houses waited until the individual transactions amounted to a fairly large sum or until the exchange rate was favorable. In lieu of actual transfers, they also purchased goods for sale in China or bought gold and silver.
