Tuesday evening the Suit an Mercan- tile company, one of the oldest and largest concerns in Globe, made a gen. eral assignment for the benefit of their creditors to w. r. Holt. Mir. Holt is the cashier of the Bank of Globe. While it has long been known that they were hard up, it was never antici- pated that they would be forced to close their doors. The firm always stood high in the estimation of the people of Globe, and it is to be hoped
 that they will soon be able to re- sume. In an interview with Mr. Jacobs, who assumed the manage ment year anda half ago, he said !; ''After the death of Mr. Louis Sul- tan the affairs of the concern were badly mismansged and the capital absorbed in the indiscreet giving of credit. Over $15, 900 of bad ac- counts were made in two years, the loss in the wood contract alone being over $S,0O0. Thinking that the business could be made to pay he made ar engagements with the creditors at that time to continue, but owing to the increased competition and the ruinous prices at which goods were being sold here, which, added to the urgent de- mands of creditors and the relentless withdrawal of deposits held by him, he was unable to maintain the strug- gle and deemed the assignment as the only course to pursue. ."-Globe Times.
