By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 15.-Profts Of be-
tween $500 900 and s1,s0o.O00 are es-
tifnated by brokers to have been made
by Arthur w. Cutten. Chicago grain
merchant, in sale OF the last
100000 bushels of a big holding of
July corn at around $1,l0, in add-
ton to large profits on recent wheat
advances of from 90 to Is cents a
bushel in the Chicago and winnipeg
markets.
James A. Patten, whose attempts to
corner wheat, corn, oats and cotton
have made him famous and brought him
fortunes, is also reported to have
reaped considerable profits through re-
cent disposal of 100000 bushels of
oats purchased in May, when dealers
predicted big losses.
Cash corn yesterday sold for $1l3,
cent less than last years high point,
while July corn was quoted at s1.lO.
The recent jump in corn of 40 cents
caused Cutten's profits. brokers say.
July wheat reached the highest mark
of the season. with $1.231a in Chicago
and s1.52 in Winnipeg.
month ago, Mr.. Cutten predicted
corn would reach a dollar a bushel
before the end of July. He persisted
in this belief, and wet weather which
retarded the crop rindicated his judg-
ment. Despite the fact that he took
large losses in May when he was COM
PEELED to pay for four million bushels
Of cash corn bought on contracts for
May delivery, he continued his trad.
Ing.
Mr.. Cutten, who predicted a higher
price for wheat, has been one of the
largest holders of futures in the Win
nipeg market.
In discussing the killings" brok-
ers recall the exploits OF Patten.
whose large profits now mostly given
to philanthropic, educational and
charitable enterprises, resulted from
persistence in maintaining his judg-
ment.
In 1909. Mr.. Patten became an in
ternational figure through his efforts
to corner the wheat market He
bought 100000 bushels Publicity
wrecked the scheme and in ten days
the paper profits" shrank from an
estimated s5,00O.000 to $500,00
A year later he was associated in
an attempt to corner cotton and was
indicted for violation of the Sherman
law. He had been sued in 1892 for
restraining trade by cornering oats
that year. In 1912, after q years ef.
fort involving 100000 bushels Of
corn, Patten was said to have cleared
$4,000, 900.
