Bottom.

PALAIS, May 27.-Marine experts
today said 1t would be impossible to
raise the French submarine which
sank yesterday when struck by a
steamer, before tomorrow.
This makes it practically impossible
that any Of the crew of 27 men will
be alive. Divers who went down to-
Gay insist that they can still hear
hammering from the sunken boat.
The divers fastened chains around
the boat but the lifting apparatus will
not arrive until this evening.
The boat lies in so fathoms of wa
ter. The report that one woman was
on board is denied 1t is thought that
the accident was due to the COM
mander's attempt to dive under the
steamer.
Nearly all of the members of the
crew were married and subscriptions
for their families were raised.

5000, 900 BUSHELS DUMPED
Brothers will Withdraw on July and
will Likely be Heard from
Before That
Date.

CHICAGO, May 27.-It was a mo-
mentous day on the Chicago board of
trade, in which the net decline of
prices, ranging from Az cents in Seps
tember and more than cents in May
option, marked sensational drop in
wheat. Some details are thus sum
married.:
The private settlement of Theodore
H. Waterman's squeeze" in May
wheat.
The unloading of 100000 bushels
Of September by James A and George
H. Patten and the announcement of
their withdrawal from the brokerage
firm of which they have been mem
'bers for a generation, for at least
temporarily
James A. Patten left his office last
night wearing smile, as he read the
headlines estimating his losses at any
where between $64O,0OO to $1,000. 900
for the day.
Asked if he had anything to say
about the market, the big speculator
laughed and said:
Just say / don't know anything
about the market"
In this jovial manner Patten admit
ted he had come out second best in
his guessing contest with the bears.
The exact satus of neither May nor
September options, despite develop
ments, is understood with certainty.
As to Patten, it is not known whether
he and his brother George have dis
posed of all their September holdings
Or not. While their retirement is an
nounced, it is not effective until July
l. Certain traders profess to believe
that the market will be called upon
to absorb more long September wheat
during the next month. The same
question arises as to the May option
Has it all been settled for?
Traders were assured that Theodore
H. Waterman, an Albany miller and
leading long in May wheat, has car
ried his deal through to a successful
conclusion and forced the leading
short interests to settle with him at
his own price. generally believed to
be around $1.14. Any effort to gauge
his profits was futile. A. J. Lichstern
is said to have been the leading short
in this option, but chiefly as agent for
a big elevator concern
Several cargoes of actual wheat
were delivered to Waterman during
the last ten days in order to break
the market. The latter bent, but it
didn't break. That a settlement had
been effected became known when a
cargo of No. l northern wheat, con-
signed to Chicago for delivery to
Waterman, had been diverted to Buff
falo. How many other, if any, sshort
contracts remain to be settled before
the end of the month, when the option
ceases, is conjecture
The extreme declines were 5B
cents in May and cents in Septem-
ber. The close of May at los to 1854
and September at SO cents, were with
in small fraction of the bottom.
