Merchants Loan and Trust company,

Il Sa1Ci:
| The slump was not altogether unex-
pected. All level-headed men have
considered the market dangerously high
and have been prepared for what has
happened. So far as can see, few
people are badly hurt in Chicago. The
country is remarkably prosperous, we
have heavy credit balances in Europe,
and think there is no occasion for
alarm.
When the smoke OF battle clears
away l believe it will be found that Jim
Hill is in control of the Northern Pa
cific railroad. said the president of a
western railroad. Hill is not brilliant
man, but he. is hard-headed 1 think
before he went into the Burlington deal
he recognized that it would excite
strong opposition and that an attempt
nigh be made to attack his position on
the Northern Pacific. That was his
only vulnerable point apparently. as
nobody would dream of trying to get
control of the Great Northern in order
to block the Burlington deal There
fore, l believe Hill secured absolute con-
troll of the Northern Pacific before he
made any effort to get the Burlington
and that in the end he Will carry that
deal thru because he controls the
Northern Pacific"
In that case, where will Hartman
and his allies be?''
They will be vastly richer than be-
fore they began buying Northern Pa
cific stock. They probab have bought
more of the stock than is in existence

Hartman. Undoubtedly he aimed to

Should it be that control OF the
Northern Pacific has been wrested from
Hill. the burlington deal is dead. 50 far
as he is concerned. The Burlington
might then pass into control of the
