.PATTEN is LOSING
HIS LARGE PROFITS
May Be Lucky TO Make
$SOO,OOO Instead of
$5,0O0,000.

CHICAGO. April 23--Just how much
loss in paper profits James A. Patten
has had to take as the result Of the two
violent slumps In wheat this week was
the principal topic OF discussion when
today's market opened.
The excitement which attended yes
terday's session appears to have ex-
tended over into today's, and traders
expressed the belief that the bears
would take further advantage of Pat
tens absence from the city aud raid the
market again.
WeIl-iRformed persons declared today
that the declining market means that
Patten has thrown over the principal
part Of the profits he had already made
IN his early operations in May wheat,
and that instead Of clearing IS, ,oaO. 900.
he VIII be lucky to make SO0,O0 and
may be forced to take a loss
Must Take 100000 Bushels.
Traders express the opinion that there
are about s,O00OO0 bushels OF May wheat
which Patten win be compelled TO take
in on contracts which he has already
purchased. It Is believed that in the
present condition Of the market Il
would be utterly impossible for him 70
get rid Of this s,e00,OO0 bushels without
forcing a slump in May prices below
81 The only way, these traders
say, Patten can get out Of the May
market without taking a loss is 10 sell
enough wheat for July delivery to take
care Of this 100000 bushels Of May.
They believe the Patten brokers are
planning to take IN the wheat as deIiv-
cred during the month Of May, carry it
over until July and then deliver it on
contracts they are now selling. The
traders figure that this system would
net Patten about 5000
Bottom Dropped Out"
Further indications that the bottom
has dropped out Of the market were
given at the opening when the expected
bear attack was renewed with all the
vigor of the attacks Of Tuesday and
Thursday Prices Of all wheat futures
again began a swift plunge downward,
and in the first hour May was brought
within hailiug distance Of the 10 mark.
Opening at L234, May dropped rapidly
and half an hour after the opening
touched 12Osl, a loss of 215 cents. July
opened at L10%, and at 10 o'clock had
reached LOSS, a loss of rs cents, while
September lost rs cents in the same
time.

!. G0Ul.O'S FAULTS
Sensations in Store for Defense
in the Famous Scandal
Sewer

New York, June 21-Mrs. Catherine
Clemmons Gould, VINO is suing for
separation and s250,000 a year all
mony, said today that she had added
several witnesses for her side and
obtained evidence to refute the testi-
mony Of the employees of the Hotel
Bellevue-Stratford, who testified that
they saw Dustin Farnum leave her
apartments early one morning during
her stay at the Philadelphia hotel in
1906. Mrs. Gould returned from Phil
adelphia last night, where she went
Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Gould's g
lawyers decline to say what the evil
dence was, but said it would all be
introduced at the trial, and that when
Mrs. Gould's case was presented in
rebuttal there would be many sur
prises for the defense. The defense
today continued to call witnesses to
show the plaintiffs alleged miscon-
duct in support of their contention
that Howard Gould was justified in
living apart from his wife since July,
1906.
When Justice Dowling opened court
today for the trial, the defense
sprung a surprise by announcing that
her husband rested his case. De-
lancy Nicoll. counsel for Howard
Gould, declared that on looking over
the testimony which had been pre-
sented it was found Sc replete with
the evidence established tho conten-
tion of the defense that Gould waa
justified in separation from his wife,
it was unnecessary to call any more
witnesses.
Clarence j. Shearin, attorney for
Mrs. Gould, told the court that
Nicoll's announcement had taken tho
defense by surprise, and that the de-
fense had no witnesses at hand to put
on in rebuttal. With the courts con-
sent, however, he said, he would read
the depositions OF witnesses taken in
preparing the case for trial. Shearn
at once proceeded with the reading Of
these dispositions.
