Yet, between July 81 and Aug.

This year it rose 1 nthat same

Patten has done all 4he damage
in wheat that he can do this sea-

and is proving to be as good, II
not better than last years. The
Canadian crops are fine. If United

What damage has Patten done?
The ruined traders cannot be
counted; they always hide them

Did the farmer gain anything by
the advance in prices made by Pat

went up in the two weeks from
$10S to $1.24 for the new crop.

In our interview, Patten said to
me:
you can't wipe out specula-

board Of trade. 1t fixes his price.
1t assemblies facts about the crop
that the farmer doesn't know. II
it wasn't for the board OF trade,
farmers would 60 ahead, selling
their wheat at an ordinary price,
until the last of the crop. Then
there would be terrible rise or
a great fall, when it was discov-
cred that there was too much or
too little wheat"
So the farmer is ruled, the coun-
try Is ruled, the elaborate and ex-
