PAT7BN KING
OF WHEAT PIT

May wheat Goes 10 sf.f0 Bushel and
Patten Says He VIII Take IL Past
the 1908 Record.
scALPERs ARE LOSING HEAVILY

Chicago. March flames A. Pat
ten, manipulating the clever" OF the
wheat market Of the world, sent May
wheat upward until It reached s1.ts
bushel. thereby bringing a terrific
pressure on Reginald Vanderbilt, Will
| liam II. Moore. Jesse Livermore. j.
Grant Walker and other well known
New York society men and million
aire plungers. But the Wall stree,
men were not the only ones bitten.
as the bears in the Chicago pit have
practically given up hope and are
now preparing to beg for mercy from
the man whom they have tried to
break.
James A. Patien Is now being
hailed as the greatest wheat operat Or
the world has ever known. Unless
something that no one can foresee
now happens. Patten bids fair TO
carry his operations to point where
May wheat will pass the mark set IN
February. 1905. when II went to
sl.21 a bushel.
Iiverrnoc Heavily Short.
Reginald Vanderbilt, Judge Moore
and the New York plungers who were
iured into the market by Sidney c.
Love. who told them they could sell
short. make money and break James
A. Patten, were watching the market
in New York with eager anxiety. for
wheat means millions of profit or loss
for these gentlemen. No one had
long to walt. for May wheat opened
lat s1.1Sh and then went steadily
upward to s1.19. Then there was a
reaction TO the opening price and
more bobbing up and down. the mar
ket finally closing at $l.1Sh.
Jesse Livermore. who. to use a
board OF trade term. "ran his millions
up from a shoe string" Is said TO be
5000 900 bushels short on May
wheat. II he sold lot OF this wheat
short when wheat was selling for Tess
than 81 a bushel his losses are enor-
nous. J. Brandt Walker. another
New York plunger. is also several
million bushels short on the market
and will have 70 settle with Mr.. Pat
ten.
Just how far Vanderbilt has in
volyed himself In the wheat pit Is not
known, but those who claim to know
say that II he settled his losses with
wheat at sl19 he would lose $780,
900. and II he has TO settle at a
higher figure his losses will total
more than 100000
Scaipers Lose Heavily.
William II. Moore Is said to be on
the wrong side OF the market as
deeply as Is young Vanderbilt. Mr..
Moore besides losing s2.0OO.00O in
stocks through Sidney c. Love, stands
TO lose another million by taking his
advice about wheat.
II was said that the "scalpers" on
the board of trade had lost 2.00O.-
600 on the Patten deal and that
many OF them had been wiped en-
tiroly out. A large number of the
elevator interests are short on wheat
aud face heavy losses. Patterns own
profits at this time can only be
guessed at.
Patten himself says that wheat will
get TO $i.25 and perhaps higher.

" Reach Berlin ON Time.
BERLIN. Aug, 27.-Count Zeppelin alone
occupies the minds Of the population Of
Berlin tonight and a welcome has heer
prepared for his coming tomorrow In his
big yairship such as has never been equalled
since Prince Bismarck's return from Yer
sailles after the coronation In 1871 Of VIII
liam 1, as emperor Of Germany, Most OF
the factories and offices and all of this
schools will be closed, and the mayor has
ordered all public buildings decorated, as
is done on the occasion Of the emperOr's
birthday. He also has requested that the
occupants Of private dwelling houses make
displays Of bunting and flags from their
windows.
Early this morning a thrill Of Joy went
through the people, thousands of whom
gathered in front of the newspaper Of
fices, when It was announced that the
Zeppelin III had departed at 4:So O'Clock
from Friedrichshafen for Berlin, a distance
of about $50 miles throughout the day
throngs crowded the bulletin boards eagerly
reading the rapidly arriving bulletins an
nouncing the progress Of the dlrigible over
various cities. When the news came, how-
ever, that a broken propeller and a defec-
tive motor had necessitated an unarranged
for landing at Osthelm, near Nuremberg.
the faces of the people fell. They waited
on. nevertheless, through a drenehing rain
in the expectation Of better tidings, and
when tho dispatches arrived announcing
the re-ascension of the balloon and its
departure for Nuremberg they greeted
them with hou Of Joy.
Again. when the bulletins said that the
dirigible had been brought to land at Muir
embeTg, I0 miles on its journey. and
there repairs would be made TO the propel-
lers and cylinders of the forward motor,
the disappointment was renewed, and was
only relieved when a telegram was re-
ceived from Count Zeppelin saying thai
It was his confident belief that the voyage
would be continued during the night and
that the airship probably would arrive a
its destination on schedule time.
The revulsion Of feeling In favor OF
Count Zeppelin, as compared with tha.
existing three or four years ago, Is mos

upon how impressively the homo.

laugh that this fact was impressed
upon him also during the tariff fight
