"Shorts" Who Have Settled Are Biz
Losers-Biggest Deal Ia History
of the Market.

Chicago, May 23.-More money was
added to the already overlooking cof-
fers Of James A. Patten, the wheat
king, and his followers yesterday.
when wheat for the May delivery
touched the $1.s1 mark, the highest
mark attained by the product since
the famous corner engineered by
Joe" Letter eleven years ago was
poisoning.
The enormous Patten deal in May
wheat will be closed out one week
from today. Monday, May 81, will be
celebrated as Memorial day. There
will be no markets on that day. The
May wheat deal must be settled be.
fore the close of business on Satur.
day, May 20.
"shorts" Are Anxious.
The shorts" IN wheat for the May
delivery have never counted days and
hours as anxiously as they have these
May days in Chicago. Already the
shorts who have settled have been
big losers. Those who have not set
tied see not a ray of hope before
them. The hosting of the price of
May wheat yesterday was caused by
another frantic rush of the "shorts"
to cover.
There are those on the Chicago
board of trade who are making no Sc.
cret of their predictions that May
wheat will reach $3.50 before the
mouth has closed and Patten has
likewise closed out the biggest deal
in the history of the Chicago market
