When the Shorts Triedto Buy
In Their Oats They Found
Them Cornered.

Chicago, May 81. = James A. Patten,
mayor of Evanston and prominent board
of trade operator day brought to sue
cessful close the corner in May oats
which has dominated the oats market
since early last fall The profits credited
to Mr. Patten on the deal are estimated
at nearly $1,O0O,00O. About the time
last year on account Of the crop shortage,
1t was learned that someone was taking
in all the May oats offered on the Chi
cago market and elsewhere Prices be-
gan to advance steadily and around &c
1t was known that Mr.. Patten was trying
to work corner. On the big furry on
the Chicago board last December, May
oats were pushed to 479sc.
Since that time reactions have occurred
and when delivery day came this month
many spectators thought the bottom had
fallen out of the corner. It was said Mr..
Patten had 10000, 900 to Il, O0O, 600 bushels
of the May options. Everything that was
offered to him on deliveries he took and
in turn sold practically all the contract
stocks to shippers at good Inducements.
This left nothing for the shorts to ac-
quire with which to settle and prices ac-
cordingly were pushed up by Mr.. Patten
personally in the pit to-day. May oats
closed yesterday at 43H. To-day prices
were jumped about &c and closed at 1870.
There was little furry Of excitement
at the close. but the corLer did not at
feet the other options.
