In case it be desirable to divide one receipt into two or more, or in case it be desirable to consolidate two or more receipts into one, and the warehouseman consents thereto, the original receipt or receipts shall be canceled the same as if the grain had been delivered from the store, and the new receipt or receipts shall express on their face that they are a part of another receipt or consolidation of other receipts, as the case may be, and the number of the original receipts shall also appear on the new ones issued as explanatory of the change; but no consolidation of receipts differing more than ten days in date shall be permitted.
