st. Paul has taken over by a trust
deed the assets of the Fairmont
Mercantile company. This is a
voluntary trust assumed by The
Credit Bureau and turned over to
them by the Fairmont Mercantile

Of the creditors of the company
being inclined to be harsh in fore
ing payments.
The assets of the company per
inventory are s100,886.38 and their
liabilities, amount to $84,277.67.
This leaves a net balance in favor
of the Mercantile company of $15,-
6C8.71.
The company lost during 1921,
S26,079.52 during 1921, $30,031 0S,
this was caused largely by the de-
probation in value OF goods aid
large expenses of clerical help. The
trust deed provides for a credit

Hill Group Presents Further
Arguments Against Pro-
posed Separation.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.-(By A.
PD-Higher officials of the Hill
group OF railroads in the northwest
Coz anued 70 present adverse argu-
ments today before the Interstate
Commerce commission on the gov
ernment's tentative railroad consoli-
dati0n plan In the northwest. The
plan would divorce the Great North
ern from association with the North
ern Pacific and the Chicago Bur
lington & Quincy, and combine 1T
with the Chicago, Milwaukee & St
Paul
Hale Holden. president of the Bur
lington. suggested that the commits
sion might consider more advant-
ageously creation of four far-hung
railroad mergers through the west,
each OF which would tap the Missis-
s.ppi basin, Gulf of Mexico and the
Pacific coast
Howard Elliott, chairman Of the
board of the Northern Pacific, de-
clared that instead of considering
any divorce Of the three grouped
roads, the commission ought to unity
them even more completely into a
single great transportation machine
while Ralph Budd, president OF the
Great Northern, said if q divorce
within the Hill group was forced the
logic and practicability Of things
called for a union of the Northern
Pacific with the Chicago, Milwaukee
and ST. Paul.
Prof. William Ripley. who laid
down tentative outlines of the Sener-
al consolidation plan i'm interchanges
with Mr.. Holden suggested that the
effect of the complete linking up OF
railroad service he had i'm mind
would result i'm great decrease of rail
