Selection of a road to link the Greater Missouri systems with Chi- cago was said to be engaging the at- tention of officials engineering the consolidation with the Gulf Coast line and the International Great Northern railway. While the expect ed choice is the Chicago & Eastern Illinois. assigned to the Missouri Pa- cific in the interstate commerce commission grouping, other possi- bilities are the Chicago & Alton and the Chicago & Great Western rail- roads.
 With professional domination of the stock market continuing in force, resumption of the upward movement In bond prices has absorbed atten- ton in the financial district. The recent gradual rise has been con- sidered significant from two stand points that of use for accumulat- ing investment capital and of prep arations for the impending German loan.
 Increased area planted by the Great Western Sugar Co.,, one of the large domestic beet sugar producing companies, is expected in the trade to carry this years output beyond the 1923 production of nearly G. 00O,0 bags. Although lower sell- ing prices probably will affect earn ings in comparison with last year, 1t is calculated the ss common divi- dend will be covered by com- fortable margin. Current assets as to February 29 were s45,530,912 against liabilities of only $1,955, ,405, which left working capital equal al- most to 11s times the outstanding capital stock.
