Dr. Bulgln for the auecessful termlna^

restored: that though there m^ be
a reaction as the eminently practi

level will be far above that which
heretofore existed. For this, if for

ones bitten, as the bears In he Chi

James A. Patten is now being hall
,d as the greatest wheat operator tn
world has ever know*. Unless some-
thing that no one can foresee now
happens, Patten bids fair to carry his
operations to a point where MM
wheat will pass the mark set In

just how far Vanderbllt has Involv-

It was said that the "scalpers
on the board of trade had lost $2-
000.000 on the Patten deal and tha
many of them had been wiped out
entirely. A large number of the ele-
vator Interest, are Bhort on whea

profits at this time can only be
guessed at.
Patten himself says that wheat will
get to $1-26, and perhaps higher.
