GRAIN CORNERS CLOSE
PAITEN AHEAD $4,000 900.
Problem of armour and Patten No7C
Is to Bury the Corpse"
by Telegraph 10 The Tribune.

/ Chicago. May 29.-The corners on wheat and
corn closed to-day, and J. Ogden Armour
and James Patten now face to face with the
problem of ''burying the corpse" In other
words they have to get their wheat and
corr to market. Both have cleared immense
sums by their sensational deals but wise traders
see difficulty in marketing the goods
Patten is estimated to have cleared S@00ooDO
in This estimate is based a supposed
profit OF between 20 cents and - cents on the
10O0OOOG or 12oOOO0O bushels he has handled
in the deal.
Il can't tell how this will come out Patten
said to-day. Nobody can tell until after it is
all over. 1 don't know how much have made
No estimate is placed on Armour's profits in
wheat AS matter of fact while Armour and
Patten were squeezing the shorts they were also
squeezing each other, Armour being short on
corn and Patten short wheat.
Patterns profits corn. too. may he shortened
by his losses on oats. He admits he has lost on
oats. but privately tells his friends that taking
the two deals together he is ahead OF the game
The market to-day highly irregular and
nervous in wheat corn and oats. May wheat
ranged between 81 0G and 81 II ard closed at
81 1o12. Corn sold anywhere between II1z cents
and S25s cents and closed at 81 cents TO Soi2
cents Oats ranged between 51i2 cents and 563s
cents and closed at 5294 cents. Excite
ment ran high in all Of the grain pits when
the weakness was greatest. Values changed
with such --'Idering rapidiIy shat traders were
puzzled. Shorts We're anxious TO cover, and
brokers for the bull leaders had at times plenty
of grain to sell. 1t is said that the shorts have
delivered to Mr. Patten and his friends not far
from 100000 bushels of corn and close to
S.S00,O00 bushels of oats.
The corner has been largely in May corn, and
lated between - and so cents. Subsequent buy
ing, necessary TO support the market at critical
periods. raised the average purchase price by
about ) cents a bushel.
The deal began early in October, 1907. In that
month May corn sold up to 6514 cents. The
financial troubles which set in about that time
tumbled the price to 531s cents. After the finan-
cial furry had abated the price of May corn ad
vanced slowly. During February it sold up to
621a cents and in March at 6S1s cents Since
then it has continued to climb and shorts have
secured the country for corn TO deliver on their
May contracts. Immense quantities of the grain
have been delivered to Patten, but he has paid
for it all and apparently stood ready at all
times take more.
Early in May the shorts began desperate eff
forts to fill the Chicago elevators with corn, and
many of the Western railroads issued rush
orders to apply on all corn shipments. Despite
this. however. Patten and his associates were
the market weakened to any apparent extent

night.
1t turns out that Colin not so seriously
injured as Jimmy Rowe, his trainer, and a vet
ernarian thought, when to all appearance he
bowed the middle tendon in each fore leg after
a fast workout at Sheepshead Bay on Thursday
morning. The statement issued by Mr.. Forbes
last night follows:
The injury to Colin. which at first thought
to be in the bowling of the tendOns of both fore
legs, turns out, in the belief of James Rowe. his
trainer and DR.. MCCUlly, the veterinarian. TO have

a hole. resulting in violent wrench. There is
and has been no soreness in either leg. and the
horse has never taken a lame step. the swelling

In view of the interest and the attachment
of the public for Colin and the sympathy so
feelingly expressed Mr.. Keene wishes to let
every know of the great improvement in the
horse. and that not only does he hope now that
Colin will again. but that if he passes the

hurt Cedrino's neck broken and he was
dead when picked up.
Cedrino, who came to this city yesterday was
to have taken part in races which were adver-
tised extensively to be run at Pimlico to-mor-
row, and his participation expected to draw
a large crowd. Only a short time before the ac-
cident he had taken his around the mile
track in ffty-six seconds. The car was taken
off the track but in short time returned The
accident occurred the first turn, just west of
the grandstand AS the slid and the wheels
collapsed the brothers were hurled against the
fence, and when the onlookers rushed the
spot they found the body of Cedrino the
track and beside the fence against which he had
plunged to his death
The car, which is fit only for the scrap
heap was the one in which Cedrino made
all his records. and designed by Cedrino
himself in 1906 He stated recently that it had
been three thousand miles without material
repairs. and it is supposed that the wheel that
failed had suffered by this more than was

perfect condition when the brought on
the track for the last time. Dr. Herbert
Schoenrich. who was watching the practice spins
of the entrants in to-morrow's races. reached
Cedrino's side almost before the dust of the &C
cident had cleared away. He found that in ad-
ditien to a broken neck the occipital bone had
been torn out entirely, and that a large part Of
the brain was scattered over the track
