Commission House Down

LACK OF BUSINESS Is THE CAUSE
GENERALLY ASSIGNED - THE
CONCERN HAD BRANCH HOUSE
IN BOTH DAKoTAs, MINNESOTA
AND MANIToRA-oNE IN FARGO

st. Paul, Dec. 13.-The Cummings
Commission Co, one Of the largest
brokerage and commission houses in
st. Paul and MINNEAPOLIS. having
branches in the Dakotas and Winni-
peg as well as throughout this state,
suspended business this morning. The
falling off in business is given as the
cause of the failure.
A statement issued by A. ]. Cum
mings today, says:
"The persistent knocking that has
been going on against this company for
some time has created such condition
of affairs that our attorneys advise
us to close up our accounts at the close
of today's markets, so as to protect, in
a measure, all alike. 1t will be a few
days before we can give results"
["The news came to me like a clap
of thunder said e. o. billings, man
ager of the Fargo office of the Cum
| mings Commission Co. Even UP ia
the closing time last night 1 had no
intimation that anything was wrong.
The local office had been doing a good
business and had been drawing largely
on the st. Paul office during the past
month. There had not been the
slightest delay in receiving the
amounts asked for to pay the traders
Business at the local office has al
ways been good except for about six
months last year. There are no cash
grain debts here. All have been paid
in full"
Mr.. billings said that $1,000
would cover the total losses In the To-
cal office and that the amount would
probably be under that.
The failure came at a fortunate
time for local traders, as accounts
with the company were very light.
Mr.. billings stated today that he
did not know what percentage would
be paid on accounts. He goes to ST.
Paul tonight for conference with the
officers of the company and expects
to return Friday morning, when he
will be able to make a more definite
statement.l

There was heavy buying by spot in
