GRANTS WAREHOUSE SITES.
Northern Pacific Pacihes Prairie
Farmers.

E@E&At&KN~
LEWISTON. Idaho. May 3O.-open
competition in grain buying is within
the grasp Of the farmers OF the Nez
Perez and camas prairies. as the
Northern Pacific has announced that
warehouse sites viii be granted to the
Interior Warehouse company. one OF
the largest on the Pacific coast and
owner of many warehouses In the
Palouse. The news will be gladly
received by many OF the farmers. who
have labored to secure competition
In grain buying.
The Interior Warehouse company
viii be granted sites at several towns
along the Grangeville branch OF the
Northern Pacific. now under construc-
,tion. While no Official announcement
has been made 1t 10 probable that the
sites win be granted az Reubens. voll-
mer. Cottonwood and GrangevilIe, the
four stations that will handle the
bulk OF the prairie grain.
This action OF the Northern Pacific
Is undoubtedly taken to pacify the
farmers who charge the Hill road
with unnecessary friendliness TO the
two old grain companies. To insure
competition and to appease the farm
ers permits will be granted at this
time. and it is possible that other
companies will secure similar con-
cessions. The farmers win secure re-
lief this year. all of which they credit
to their organization, which had de-
cided to appeal to James J. Hill for
relief. but the action OF the company
makes II unnecessary.

CORN NETS pATTEN s2.OOO.OOO.
Accommodates Big Fortune Before
Prices Fade.

CHICAGO, May sO.-The corner
In May corn which has been run BY
James A. Patten OF this city and his
associates came to an end today and
the "Patten crowd is generally cred
tied with having made about $1,000
600 on the deal, although 1t is admit
ted that all estimates are largely
guesswork. Mr.. Patten declared to-
day that he did not know how much
had been made.
The market today was highly ir-
regular and nervous in wheat, corn
and oats. May wheat ranged be-
tween $1.O6 and Sill, and closed at
$1.1Oh. Corn sold anywhere be-
tween TIN and S25s cents. and clos
ed at so to SO1s cents. Oats ranged
between 5115 and 56ss cents, and
closed at SIX cents.
Grain Markets Excited.
Excitement ran high today in all
of the grain pits when the weakness
was greatest. Fluctuations were
rapid. Shorts were anxious to cover,
and brokers for the bull leaders had
at times plenty Of grain to sell, II
is claimed that the shorts have de-
livered to Patten and his friends not
far from 5000, 900 bushels Of corn
and close to S,SOO,OOO bushels of
oats.
The corner has been largely in
May corn and Patterns holdings in
this option were accumulated at be-
tween 55 and SO cents. Subsequent
buying necessary to support the mar

Financial Troubles Aid.
The deal began early in October
1907. In that month May corn sold
up to SIS is cents. The financial
troubles which same about that time
tumbled the price to SO Is cents
After the financial furry had abated
the price of May corn advanced slow

621s cents, and in March at SIS Is

to climb and shorts have secured the
country for corn to deliver on theiI
