WHEAT MARKET EXCITED
Wild Scenes in the Wheat
Pit
James A. Patten Holds Finn Grip on
the Situation and Pandemonium
Reigns Trading Was Spectacular.
Patten's Profits More Than a Mil
lion. . (
Chicago, April 8 May wheat, af
ter opening 1.25. turned lower and
hovered around 1.25 for half an hour
and then it, with rush and a roar,
climbed to $1.26 3-8, the highest
price in many years.
With James A. fatten and the bull
element apparently holding a firm
grip On the situation, the wheat pit
opened today with the wildest scenes
of excitement since the Leiter cor
ner. The prices of yesterday held
firm at the opening and when the pit
saw this pandemonium reigned.
Wheat opened from 1.25 1. 25;
July at 1.11 5-8; September at 1.02
6i 1.02; December 1.01.
Trading was spectacular and it was
early seen that the exciting scenes
of yesterday would be more than
equalled today. Brokers engaged by
excited sports to acquire wheat at any
price surged into the thick of the
fight and the bulls took profits at
enormous figures. The bears were in
a panic and nothing seemed able to
check the sweeping victory of the
bulls.
The market is mora than a triumph
for Patten. He lias made a fortune
in two days but in addition to this
it shows the excellence of his judg
ment. His predictions months ago
have been fulfilled within the past
forty-eiglit hours.
Patten and his followers declare
there has been no manipulation, that
the present conditions are the out
growth of natural circumstances. V
Patten's profits so far are estimat
ed at $1,250,000 and it is declared
that this figure will bo doubled berore
the reign of the bulls is ended.
Patten Brokers Sell.
Chicago, April 8 Patten brokers
sold large amounts of May, July and
September wheat today, May closing
at 1.24 7-8, after touching 1.26 3-8.
July went from 1,12 q$ 1.12 p
1.11 and up to 1.11 5-8 1.1 1 3-4,
the latter 3-8c lower.
Patten Clears $500,000,000.
Chicago, April 8 May wheat,
climbing high above the highest point
it touched in this upward movement,
stopped momentarily today while
James A. Patten, the man who con
trols it, unloaded some millions of
bushels and. then sagged back a little
while he bought up millions of other
bushels at a lower price.
Following him in his trading were
dozens of "longs" men who had
wheat and were holding it for the
top prices. They unloaded their
holdings today and in response to the
flood of selling orders the price
broke. Before the break, though, It
had made a new record $1.26 3-8.
There are many Belling orders to
day and Patten led the selling when
the price, after the opening skir
mishes of the market, mounted above
$1.2. When it sold down to a lit
tle above $1.24 the buying orders be
gan to come from Patten.
Already Patten has cleared more
than $5,000,000 on his wheat deal
since last October and today the mar
ket has been forced higher than by
any other man. It is said on the
board of trade that it is going higlif.r.
Patten thinks it ought to go higher.
Many of the selling orders today
came from the northwest and south
west, where there are scattered longi.
Several selling orders were placed
locally. '
There were many people caught in
the market today, though dozens for
every one guessed right.

Xew York Cotton Letter.
(By IV, It. Hibbs & Co.)
New York, April 8. There was good
rains' at about twenty different points
in Texas, chiefly in southern parts re
ported in the New York cotton ex
changes' special report from Texas ob
server us having Occurred during the
past twelve hums us against a rainfall
of about 2 nches at 'Galveston and
at Col pus Ci'lt tl and about at Pales
tine and Amarillo as shown on the
vi at her bureau's official map.
The ''trading- element regards this
news as bearish and turned heavy sell
ers of cotton from the opening notwith
standing the much better tone the Liv
erpool markets displayed than had
been expected, and the better trade re
ports r.tw coming fiom Fail River,
Providence, Boston and also Philadel
phia 'yarn markets... This f elling pres
sure, however, was offset by new buy
ing bv local, western and outside up;
craters generally the decline in early
trudlng was conlimd within three to
llflve points of last ni 'it's closhi" un
der lead of October. There Has so
much cotton wanted on open buying
orders on scale down that the bear ele
ment was held In cheek. Most of the
traders did not want to buy to any ex
tent In lie-cumulating' fresh lines over
the trlpple holiday.
The market now looks like it will go
still higher and we. would continue to
advise" purchases of July und October
on such soft spots as may develop from
further profit taking on bear raids.
