RAISING THE PRICE OF OATS.
Expected Speculative Activity in
Chicago Grain Market.

CHICAGO. Nov. 9.-The local grain
trade is stirred over deal in oats which,
it is expected, win prove as exciting as
any Of the speculative outbursts that
have taken place on the board of trade
in the last few years. Traders in close
touch with the situation are already pre-
dieting that oats for May delivery will
sell ct 80 cents a bushel, and possibly
higher This belief is based on the bull
ism conditions which surround the mar
ket both speculatiSely and as regards
the supply and demand.
James A Pattcn. Mayor of Evanston.
and well-known grain speculator, is the
central figure iR-the market For several
weeks Patten has been an active buyer of
May oatS-and is now supposed to hold a
line aggregating several million bushels.
IN view of the fact that the local stocks
of oats are small. only little over LOO, =
O0l bushels. traders are inclined to credit
Patten with being in a position to wage
an active bull. campaign.
The scarcity of oats in the country.
which is directly traceable to the long-ccn-
tinued drought Of last summer is the i'm
portant bull factor In the last few weeks
It has become apparent that the crop
would be small. May oats sold yesterday
as high as 1854 cents, the top price this
season

SEEKS PRESIDENTS ADVICE.
Ma,or-EIect Low to visit the White
House This Week.

Seth Low. mayor-elect of Greater Ne"
York. is expected to visit the White
House this week. TO confer with President
Roosevelt regarding the administration OF
the office to which he was chosen on
Tuesday. John c. Clark, Mr.. Lows cam
paign secretary, called at the White
House yesterday, and, it is thought toid
the President that MIR. Low desired to
consult with him. and to gain the ad-
vantage of his intimate knowledge with
New York municipal affairs. before he
announces any appointments or defines
his policy in regard to questions which
have arisen since his election.
Mr. Low is at present resting at Great
harrington. Mass. He is expected to re-
turn to Gotham during the week, ana
will probably proceed at once to WASH
ington. The greatest problem confront
ing Mr.. Low is said to be that of the Sc
lection of a police commissioner. Mr..
Roosevelt once filled that position in New
Y ork himself. and his advice on the sub
ject will be of great value to MIR. Low.
The President is interested in Greater
New York more than in almost any other
place in the country, and will be more
than ready to aid Mr.. Low in every man
ncr possible.

sible is being done for her, and there Is d
good chance of her recovery.
