.PAT1EN MAKES PROFIT.
OF S1,5OO,OOO ON SALE
Gets an Order for $4,000 Bales
of Cotton at is That Cost
9 to IL Cents.
FOREIGN SPINNERS PINCHED
Stocks Abroad Allowed to Run
So Low That Now Need for
Staple Over There
Is Urgent.

James A. Patten, who is said to have
engineered the so-caIled corner in May
cotton which the government is investi-
eating, has received an order for $4,000
bales of the staple which were delivered
to him on May contracts from foreign
spinners
This is said TO be the largest individual
order for cotton ever received here, and
1t is estimated that Mr.. Patten will
make. close to 81, 100000 on the deal,
which involves S3,5O00OO. The cotton is
to be delivered on the basis of 10 cents
a pound 1t is understood that Mr.. Pat
ten paid from 8 to II cents a pound
for ii.
One-half of the order, or $4,000
bales, is to go to Havre and the re-
mainder to Bremen. The cotton is
urgently wanted by spinners who have
let their stocks run down almost to the
last bale, and the order says it is
imperative that II be delivered at once.
Mr.. Patten is experiencing considera BILE
difficulty in complying with this part of
the order, as there is a scarcity of ships
in which to transport the staple. So far,
according TO his brokers, J. s. Bache G.
Co, he has succeeded in securing accom-
modations for only 10000 bales. This
amount will be shipped out this week.
and the rest will follow as soon as space
on the steamers can be secured to
carry it.
That Mr. Patten should have let the
spinners> purchase this cotton at so low
a figure as IL cents a pound was re-
garded in the trade as quite an act of
magnanimity on his part. The spinners
had to have the cotton, and it is said
that he could have got almost any price
be asked for his holdings. He has said
right along, however. that all he wanted
was fair profit. and that he had no in
tention of squeezing" any one. Judg-
ing by this transaction he has been as
good as his word. The present price of
spot cotton is 1910 cents a pound.
How much more cotton Mr.. Patten has
had delivered to him on May contracts
has not been revealed, but it is believed
in cotton circles to be at least one hun
dred and fifty thousand bales Most of
this cotton, it is thought, will ultimately
find its way to Europe.

BILLY DELANEY
GIVES HIS VIEWS

Many think that 1t was mainly due
to the clever suggestions OF Billy De-
laney, the veteran fight manager, that
Jack Johnson defeated Jeffries so cas-.
lily. Delaney was In constant com
munlcation with Johnson for weeks
before the fight and was at the ring
side TO help Johnson during the bat
tie. Delaney Is conceded to be the
Napoleon Of the fight game. His view
of the present heavyweight situation
follows:
(By Billy Delaney
Il am out of the ring game now, but
l intend to keep In close touch with
pugllistic affairs as long as live for

first few times they spared Kaufman
was like an amateur compared with
Johnson. Then we had Kaufman dup
licate Jeffrles' style of fighting and
stack UP against the champion. There
was no change However, In the last
week they worked together Kaufman
had acquired new style entirely. He
had gained cleyerness and speed and
showed up ae we'll at times against
the negro as Jeffrles did In the ring.
With proper training during the next
