WHEAT DEAL ENDS QUIETLY
Only One Price for May Option

PATTEN SHOWS NO EMOTION
Leader of Greatest Corner in Chicago
Speculative Annals Watches
Market Close without
Comment.

CHICAGO. May 2e-The greatest sue
cessfui wheat deal in Chicago's speculative
annals came to an unostentatious end to-
day All day until the session ended at
noon there was but one quotation for May
wheat-s1.A. James A. Patten, high priest
of the bull campaign, was not on the trad
ing floor.
The visitors gallery of the board was
thronged, many of the would-be sightseers
being women. But there was no sight"
except the normal one of gesticulating and
shouting pit clerks to be seen.
Mr.. Patten sat throughout the session In
his office, chewing gum lncessantly, oc-
casionally reading or answering a mes
sage. The air was surcharged with ex-
element, but It was not betrayed on the
faces OF the habitually self-controlled
traders who are accustomed to watch the
ebb and flow of fortunes without the quiver
Of an eyelash.
THE market is closed" smiled a clerk,
sticking his head out of a pigeon hole
marked orders"
Huh" inquired Mr.. Patten.
She's all over,'f said the clerk.
Nothing from Patten. In all the crowd
watching the quotations there was nothing
indicating an interest in the passage of a
historic campaign, OF which the quiet gray
man sunk back in chair was the unfal-
tering leader.
No Fireworks on Floor.
There was no shaking of hands, no con-
gratulations, no anything to furnish the
fireworks" in expectation of which visit
ors crowded their way into the Board OF
Trade. No one in that office on which
the speculative eyes of the world have
been fixed for months moved from his
chair. II there was one thing that be-
trayed elation in the crowd, It was tina;
smiles were a trifle reader than usual
but not much. AS for Mr.. Patten, he
smiled not at all. His mind was busy with
thoughts and comments on the new crop

Don't Want a Good Story
Spoiled i'm Telling.

DEAR EDrToR:-I In your issue OF Sep
TENDER I'd. read "A story of a back
woodsman who named his four oxen
Campbellite, Baptist, Methodist and
Presbyterian.
Now | hate to have a good story
spoiled in the telling and | think that
one was spoiled. My version is this:
A Prcsby terian preacher heard the
markable names and asked an expla-
nation. Well, said the driver, these
oxen next the wagon ! call Campbell
lite because | have to watch them all
the time to keep them from boiling
into the river" VERY good, very
good I" said the preacher. Then this
next yoke of steers | call Methodists
because they do more baw ling than
pulling. Every good very good, in
deed )" said the preacher, Then that
other yoke ! call Baptist because they
are So linicky and over-nice that they
won't eat nor drink in the same troug h
with the other steers. Very appro-
pirate" said the preacher. Now tell
me why you call the others Presby-
terians? Because they twist their
tails and bow their backs and you
think they are working hard when
they DONE pull enough to get the hat
off your head" Good day" said the
preacher.
