PATTEN MOBBED.

A hostile demonstration on the floor
of the Cotton Exchange at Manchsstsr,

trssting 1t for iriendliness on The Corn
Exchange, 1T Liverpool, met with by j.
A. Patteu, the Chicago wheat and cotton

Gsz:t.e.
10 the irst, Mr.. Ps!ten was mobbed
and probably escaped injury only by
being rescued by the police; In the lat
ter he was greeted with cheering and
other manifestations of frieudliness. Mr..
Pstten ssiled from Liverpool today for
New York on board the Cunsrd Line
stsamer Msu'etsnis.
The brief vacation 10 England OF the
Chicago operator had been spent mostly
about the Liverpool markets, and yester-
day he made up bis mind to run over to
Manchester to see the city and visit the
Cotton Exchange. It was known to
Mr.. Pssten that there had been threats
of an unpleasant reception should he
visit "OOtlonoppolis," but he refused
to believe they would be carried Into
efegt.
These thrests, 1t Is said, emanated
from persons on the exchange who had
lost large sums ss q result OF Mr.. Pat
tens operations in Chicago and from
others who held him responsible for
Thursdays rise In the price OF cotton
and who believed that his visit t, Eng
land had for lite purpose the msnipula.

As soon as Pstten appeared on the
AOor of the Cotton Exchange broker
shouted "Patten p Instantly hostile
cries we're raised aud the air was filled
With "booings" and hootings mingled
with an occasional cheer.
Amid the din the brokers rushed tc-

The business of the exchange was SUI :
pended and hundreds Of men left the pit
and followed the speculstor into the
street, whers another crowd was soon st-
sembled.
At this point the visitor received re-
