EXCITEMENT IN WHEAT.
Bio Gambler Patten is $5,0oo,oOo to
the Good.

Chicago, April S.-May wheat climb
ing hign above the highest point 1t
touched in this upward movement,
stopped momentarily today while Jas.
A. Patten, the man who controls 1t,
unloaded some millions of bushels, and
then sagged back a little while he
bought up millions of other bushels at
q lower price.
Following him In his trading were
dozens Of "longs'-men who had wheat
and were holding it for top prices.
They unloaded their holdings today,
and in response to the flood Of selling
break, though, it had made new rec
ord-S1.26s.
There were many selling orders to-
day and Patten led the selling, when
the price, after the opening skirmishes
Of the market, mounted above $1.26.
When 1t sold down to little above
s1.24 the buying orders began to come
from Patten.
Already Patten has cleared more
than $5,000,000 on his wheat deal since
last october, and today the market
has been forced higher than by any
other man. 1t Is said on the Board of
Trade that it is going higher. Patten
thinks 1t ought to go higher.
came from the northwest and south
west, where there are scattered longs,
Several selling orders were placed To-
cally.
May wheat, after opening at s125A,
turned lower and hovered around $1.25
for half an hour, and the' with a
roar, climbed to $1.26s, ths highest
price in many years.
Trading was spectacular and 1t was
early seen that the exciting scenes of
yesterday would be more than equal
ed today.
Brokers engaged by excited shorts
to acquire wheat at any price, surged
into the thick Of the fight and the
bulls took profits at enormous fig
ures.
The bears were in a panic and
nothing seemed to be able to check
the sweeping victory Of the bulls. The
market IS more than triumph for
Patten. He has made a fortune In
two days, but in addition to this l,
shows the excellence Of his judgment
His predictions months ago have been
fulfilled within the past forty-eigh'
hours Patten and his followers de-
clare that there has been no manip-
ulation; that the present conditions
are the outgrowth Of natural circum-
stances.
They declare they took advantage
of their prophetic wisdom and bough,
when nrices were naturally low.
Patterns profits so far are estimated
at S1.25O,00O. and it Is declared thai
this figure will be doubled before the
reign of the bulls is ended.

There Is A Reason

During the first three months
'of 1909 more new business was writ
ten by Mutual Benefit Agents In South
Carolina than during any similar pc
riod of the fifteen years since this
grand old company has been doing
business In the state, and more than
twice as much as during January,
February and March Of 1908, and
this In the face Of the fact that 1t Is
claimed that financial conditions are
not so good as previous to October,
1907, and also that more life COM
panies are seeking business In the
state than ever before. My personal
business during the three months just
ended was more than four times as
great as In 1908. There must be sub
stantial reasons for the increase, don't
you reckon? Well, there are. You
will be able to fully understand and
appreciate them II you will call and
let me tell you something Of the COM
pany's record covering period Of 64
years and explain the policy contracts
