NEW YORK.

Trade. crop and industrial reports
are still very irregular. but the under
lying tone of business generally is
slightly more optimistic. All present
or future favorable occurrences. how
ever, cannot disguise the fact that some
lines of industry are still very much
depressed; that the first crop report of
the year--that made by the government
of winter wheat-is a poor one, indi-
eating short crop: that buying is still
hampered in some sections by unfay0r
able weather or by the reduced pur-
chasing power of the public, and eau
ton and conservatism still govern CON-
mercial operations to large degree.
Easter trade at retail is classed as
fair to good in most parts OF the West,
fair at the East. but below expectations
at the South. and rather poor I'm Texas,
where drought conditions hold back
buying demand. Some slight expansion
is noted in filling in orders by jobbers.
but trade in this line is distinctively Of
a between-seasons character. In whole
sale lines there are indications of more
confidence in buying for fall.

GREAT BUYING WAVE
HITS WHEAT BEARS
PatteI Scores Triumph as. Shorts
Force Wheat Values to New
High Levels.
KING OF PIT TAKES BIG PROFITS
HIS Sales Are Reported 100000 a
Day-Furious Buying Result of
Bad Crop Reports.

A tremendous wave of buying swept
over the Chicago wheat pit Wednesday
and Thursday. swapping the few re-
naming bears and, amid scenes of the
widest excitement, lifting prices for
all deliveries to new high levels. May
wheat sold at S1.26sl, the highest
price since the Letter deal, and the
top figure during April in more than
twenty years. Trading was of spec
tacular character all through the ses-
sion and millions of bushels were ham
died. Excited shorts paid any price
demanded for the May in order to cover
their sales, and but for the selling by
the bull leaders much higher quota
tions would have been established
Bulls took profits ON colossal scale,
a yeritable panic in the bear camp en-
aiding them to cash in at fabulous
profits. Even at the high price of
Thursday 100000 bushels were
dumped into the pit of the Board of
Trade.
There was riot on the floor of the
trading room when the price was
chalked on the board at S1.26as. Early
the price had dropped from $1.25&
the high mark of the day before, to
S1.24. Shorts began TO think the gov
ernment crop report, which had sent
the price up, had not greatly affected
the situation and that prices were 60
ing TO fall. Suddenly there was Il cessa-
ton in the offering of wheat on the
market. For a moment no wheat was
sold. The shorts began to get anx-
ious again. There was a clamOr for
wheat.
Then uniformed messenger climbed
TO the bulletin board and he wrote Oh
the board the highest price seen in the
pit in nine years. There was a wild
roar in the trading room. Brokers
jumped and raced madly about. 1t
was question of winning or losing
a fortune. With the one mark of chalk
on the blackboard many lost their ALL
while others won heavily. Messenger
boys rushed wildly through the room
to find the floor representatives of big
changed hands with the rapidity Of
lightning.
1t was day of triumph for James
A. Patten. The price he predicted for
May last summer was reached and ex-
eeeded. and bear traders who have been
forecasting calamity for the bull wheat
deal were thankfully buying the grain
he poured into the pit to relieve the
stringency. Conditions are now de-
veloping as Patten maintained they
would = foreigners are coming for
wheat, other sources Of supply are fail
ing, and even with prices for the May
at the highest level in years, cash
wheat is selling at enormous premiums.
Patten added TO his profits of $1,000
600 which he has made out of the deal.
He still declares that he is not trying
to corner the market, but is simply TAX
ing advantage of the shortage in the
crop.
