senators. Jones and Vest, .. a dozen

Taft took occasion to define bis posi-

he went into detail TO show that he
was far from favoring an immediate
enactment of such statute.
In the first place. the president said
he was in favor Of enactiug the tariff

giving It a thorough trial. II 1t did

CHICAGO, May 5.-"Jim" Patten is
back I'm the wheat pit
The fact that the bull leader return
ed yesterday from the New Mexico
ranch where he has Deen sojourning
for several weeks became known to
the trade generally today. His advent
was followed by an immediate renew
al OF the activities OF the Patten brok-
erage house In all wheat futures.
While todays session In the wheat
pit was not attended by the panic
which prevailed during the height OF
the Patten corner" several weeks ago
there was considerable excitement.
Someone 10 holding wheat SO tight
that the shorts are able to get very
little to cover their trades.
May opened at s1.2S which is one
cent below the record price for the
crop, July at $1.15 3-4 and Septem-
Der s1.05 3-S. May wheat Is practic-
ally cash wheat now. AS soon as the
market opened there was rush OF
the bears TO buy May. but the trade
took in all the futures. The offerings
however were wholly inadequate to
supply the demand and as result
prices OF all futures bounded up. In
less than one hour Mays price had
gone to $1.29 IL and July to $1.l7 1-S
and September to $1.06 "a.
The trading In July was even more
active than In May but the buyers
could not get much of that option
even.
Prominent traders today declared
their belief that Patterns so-called
flight to New Mexico TO escape the
newspaper reporters and the threats
against his life" was a mere pretense.
The high prices of wheat they declare
had created such a tremendous senti-
ment against trading in futures that
Patten feared adverse legislation both
by congress and the Illinois legisla-
ture They believe his sudden depart
ure from the city was part of con-
certed plan to put Patten In the posi-
ton OF appearing to abandon the mar
ket and cause a slump In prices.
Gossip among the traders Is that
the money power behind Patten Is J.
sence, Armour's brokers have been
taking care of the bull .dealA>
Now that the publicity and public
pears to have ended they say Patten
has-come= back =to-renew- his deal
harder than ever.
Many brokers declare their belief
that instead OF having sold out his
May wheat Patten and Armour hold
such an enormous quantity Of 1t that
they have the market absolutely at
their mercy They estimate this
amount held by Patten at upwards OF
90 ,000,0 900 bushels. They openly ad-
init their bewilderment at these tao
tics and say they cannot understand
why Patten wanted to hold his wheat
until this late day. To dispose OF 90
900 900 bushels of cash wheat in a
month is a tremendous task, as any
effort to unload 1t In large lots would
break the price violently.
Other traders profess to believe that
Patten has really gotten rid Of prac-
tically all Of his May holdings and
that his return to the pit indicates
disposition to get into the saddle
n gain and attempt to corner" the
July market. Even before Patten
went west his July holdings were
large and he Is expected to increase
this line heavily from now on.
