James A. Patten is Reported to Have
Made a Fortune OF That
Size by Fortunate
Move.
THE CROP IS SHORT
When Cotton Made Jump Of Few
Cents Per Pound He Made
$4,000 on Every Point
Advance.

CHICAGO, ILL.,. Oct. 29.--James A.
Patten became approximately $4,000
600 richer through wild rise in
American and English cotton markets.
He is long about 200 900 bales, much of
which he accumulated when cotton
was selling around 8 cents pound.
An advance to 14ss cents at the open
ing, when shorts attempted to cover,
gives him an average profit of cents
pound. Every point advance in the
market means $4,000 to the million
aire grain trader, who won about
$5,000,000 i'll wheat on the Board Of
Trade last May. An advance of point
on 100 bales of cotton is equal to $5.
Since last spring cotton has advanced
about 500 points, and as result Pat
tens Chicago followers have been rich
ly rewarded, as they were last spring
in wheat. The cotton crop is short an
enormous amount, and in the financial
district, as well as In the Eastern
manufacturing sections, 1t Is believed
prices will reach about 16 cents g
pound before the marketing Of the
yield is completed. La Sale street
brokers who have kept in touch with
the deals Of the former mayor o
Evanston say his winnings of 1909 to
tai no less than s12,000,0o0.
