| associates. No estimate worth con-
| sdering can be made.
With the May deal proper to all in
| tents a thing of the past, a battle
| royal will be waged in July. Unusual
| ly unfavorable weather for planting
| last fall is given as the principal rea-
son for this belief.
Mr.. Patten said today that even if
some of the wheat We're harvested early
| in July it would never reach Chicago,
| but would be snatched up by famish-
ing millers before it gets near this
city
why" said Mr., Patten, they are
| buying wheat out in Sumner county
Kansas. right now. DO you know what
that means? 1t is the biggest wheat
producing county in the United States
and millers there have just paid $3.50
for wheat which the farmers had pre-
viously shipped out. They have to
bring it back"
How about the five cent decline at
Winnipeg" Mr.. Patten was asked.
Means Nothing.
1T doesn't mean anything It's a big
cash market, but a small one. specula-
lively, The smaller the speculative
market, the wider the range of fluctua-
tiOns"
What Mr.. Patten says about July
wheat, however, is anything but ac-
ceptahle to many experienced traders
They point to the present domestic
visible supply which at present is re-
ported by Bradstreets as 5000, 900
bushels. which is in excess of the
amount in sight at this time in 1908.
But principally they insisted that the
crop will be on sale in Chicago in
abundance.
A SpecuIator.
In discussing his operations today.
Mr. Patten referred frankly to himself
as speculator as well as a grain mer-
chant and incidentally admitted that
he is long of cotton.
Haven't YOU enough on your hands
in wheat without dabblng in cotton?
he was asked.
We'll, I'll be frank. I'm a grain mer-
chant, but I'm a speculatOr also.
like to speculate. It's a great game
The way it looks to me is this Cotton
at the present price is just about as
cheap as wheat would be around a
dollar. So | took flier, but, believe
me, | am not trying to manipulate it."

Constantinople, April 15.-Thc third
day of the revolutionary movement in
the capital was marked by more dis
orders, the most serious of which was
a lynching during demonstration by
marines who objected to the new min
lister of marine, Vice Admiral Ad-

ship trained on the Yildiz kiosk, when
the rising was at it's heighth. His in
tention was to support the committee.
Arrived at the Yildiz kiosk the men
lynched Arif Bey, Notwithstanding the
efforts of the palace guard to save
him.
Edhim Pasha, the new minister of
war, and Nazim Pasha, today made the
round of the barracks and eXhorted the

The impression prevails here that
the Third army corps is ignorant of
the real objects of Tuesdays rising
and may desert when it realizes that
the parliament and the constitution
have been maintained.
A committee of moslems in the cap
ital has issued pamphlets explaining
the movement, which they assert, is in
noWise directed against the constitu-
tional government. The committee
emphasizes the fraternity between the
moslems and Christians and encOur
ages the cooperation of all for the
welfare of the country.
The first news from Mersina was eX-
