NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS
Market Gives Further Evidence Of
Speculative Unsettlement.
SELLING ORDERS EARLY IN DAY
Bears work for Reaction, hut Are
Later Put to Flight and ses-
sion Ends with BuOyant
Rally.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE stock market
today gave further evidence OF some unset
Element Of speculative sentiment. The
sharp reaction of the day before and argu-
wheat market situation stocks had the eff
feet OF bringing in selling orders. Part OF
these we're executed In the London market
before the opening here and the prices In
below. represented considerable declines
from the level at which the market left
off. The professional traders on the floor
worked for a reaction. The manner in
which the market absorbed the stock of
tered and the appearance OF suppo for
prices had an in~timidating effect on the
bears and inspired some covering of shorts.
The bears took to flight In the late deal
ings and caused the buoyant rally which
ended the day.
Foreign markets we're still disturbed to
some extent by the troubles in Turkey.
The recent large gold outgo to South Amer
lea. together with the considerable syndi-
cate operations in connection with bond
flotations, has led the lenders of money or
time to attempt an advance In rates OF
interest, but borrowers hold off and the
result is great declines In the money mar
ket. Reading was exempt from Its recent
weekend depression in anticipation of q
possible decision on Monday in the com
modities clause cases. Central Railroad OF
New Jersey rose ~buoyantly with helpful
effect on Reading and the coalers gener-
ally. The pronounced strength in the coal
ers was the influence which prompted the
vigorous rally and the strong closing al
general net gains. The bank statement
showed a heavy loan expansion, both by
the clearing house institutions and the
trust companies, supposedly due to the
weeks syndicate transactions.

PATTEN REPLIES TO WILSON
Bull Leader RidicuIes Figures of
Secretary of Agriculture.

Bull Leader RidicuIes Figures of
Secretary of Agriculture.
CHICAGO, April 1S.-After a memorable
speculative week the tIckers' good night
was received at noon today with a deer
sigh of relief from Board of Trade men,
not to mention an army OF laymen drawn
into the vortex of the wheat pit by the
publicity given James A. Patten, the bull
leader. and his following.
GOOD light meant a day and a half
for quiet reflection on the great problem Ut
the season. VIII the public eat this years
or last years wheat three months hence?
Today Mr.. Patten personally left the
market TO its fate. which fate, from the
view of the Pattep crowd, improved con-
siderably, as prices advanced over a cent
In May and July options. Mr., Patten paid
his respects to Secretary OF Agriculture
Wilson. declaring that the latter's estimate
of available supplies is a joke and l~ecturod
| reporters who he alleges have been more
entertaining than accurate in their stcriss.
Tarin ON whest
As to talk Of removing q tariff on
wheat as a slap at manipulate Mr.. Pat
ten was for IL.
'Im in favor az removing II right now,
because we will have to do II at the end
OF ten HthIb at lily w ~ NVhiu hOh
affect the price Of wheat a penny for the
markets OF the world are on a parity right
now. Take off the duty on corn. oats and
live stock, too. for It will net be long be-
fore we will have to import them. | have
said this before and Jim Hill has Oeen
preaching It to the farmers along his rail-
roads for the last three or four years.
"As TO Mr.. Wilson, he Is absolutely in
correct. There was not 143,OOO.OOO bushels
on farms on March /. 1t was nearer loO,-
O0O,OO bushels. My information is better
than his and l know what I'm talking
about. But don't take II from me; go TO
any big trader who pays out his money
for accurate on which 10 risk
his capital. They say / have a corner in
wheat. / have not. The wheat l have
could not feed the world for one day"
PassinG OF May Deal.
The weeks place in speculative history
is due to the practical passage OF the So
called May" deal and the active engage
ment OF bulls and bears all along the line
concerning the proper price OF July con
tracts for wheat.
From this time on the price OF May may
fluctuate erratically, but IL is stated that
there will be little trading In II. The bears
admit that Patten won In that struggle and
that he is arbiter OF the price. However.
few settlements Of this delivery. 1t is said.
remain to be made. The price 'duItag t!e
week ranged between A.25A and 3l.2s7s and
closed today at u.2Sh.
Whether this price is too high or too
low cannot. OF course, be known untl the
time for delivery on contracts. Both secre-
tary Wilson and Mr.. Pstten have remarked
that time will tell" and time in the
present instance means the two months
and a half from the present. That the
fight between opposing interests will be the
most exciting on the Board OF Trade no
one doubts. In the aggregate II win be
waged between those who believe In the
accuracy Of the government reports ant
those who pin their faith 10 ths PGttsn
