Including fenced stock this would
probably raise the number of cattle in
the county to $4,000 head, and of
horses 5000. In ether words there is
in Delta county today over half mil

sl75, 900 in horses. With domestic
holdings this would perhaps raise
the stock values of the county to

KING DIMINISH
Traders Say James A. Patten Will
Be Lucky If He Makes Half
Million in Market.

CHICAGO, April 23.--Just how
much loss in paper profits James A.
Patten has had to take as the result
of the violent slumps the wheat mar.
Ket has sustained this week was the
principal topic OF discussion when to
days wheat market opened. The ex-
element which attended yesterdays
session appeared To have extended
over into today and traders express
ed the belief that the bears would
take further advantage OF Patter's alb
senee from the city and raid the mar
ket again.
Well informed persons declared to-
day that the declining market means
that Patten has thrown over the prin-
cipal part OF the Irofits he had al.
ready made In his earlier operations
IN May wheat and that instead of
clearing $5.000,000 he will be lucky to
make 100000 and may be forced to
take loss.
Traders express the opinion that
there are about 100000 bushels OF
May wheat which Pattsn will be com.
PEELED to take In one contract which
he has already purchased. IL Is be-
lieved that in the present condition
of the market II would be utterly i'm
possible for him to get rid OF this s.
900 900 bushels without forcing q
slump in the May price below 81
The only way these traders say Pat
ten can get out of the May market
without taking loss IL TO seel enough:
wheat for July delivery to take care
Of this 100000 bushels Of May. The
believe the Patten brokers are plan
ming TO take in the wheat delivered
during the month Of May, carry II
over until July and then deliver IL oil
contracts they are now selling. The
traders figure that this system would
net Patten about 100000
