SETTLEMENT OF SMITHS
AFFAIRS PROVES SUCCESS

Advices from San Francisco state
that according to all indications the
plan outlined by f. NJ Smiths trus-
tees in their recent letter to the
creditors is working out very satisfac-
torily. A goodly number of Smiths
notes with attendant collateral have
been turned in to the Mercantile
Trust company with instructions to
that institution to act in accordance
with the advice of the trustees.
A large and very conservative local
institution turned over big block
of Smiths obligations and hypothe-
Gated securities to the Mercantile
Trust company recently.
1t is also understood that the hold
ers of the Realty Syndicate's obliga-
tions, better known as Syndicate Six
es, are expressing their approval OF
the advisory committees plan by de.
nositing their certificates with the
Trust company.
While developments have not been
such as to warrant overconfidence
on the part of the new directors OF
Smiths affairs, there is every reason
TO believe that the creditors will
