DELIVERY DAY ON ~ BOARD OF TRADE Large Amount of Wheat Turned Over o Patten. Chicago, May 3.—It was delivery day on the board of trade and the May option, which was the medium of the recent bull campaign led by James A. Patten, became cash wheat. On May contracts 2,100,000 bushels of wheat were delivered, practically all of it to Bartlett, Patten & Co. Brokers have hazarded a guess that Mr. Patten paid an average of $1.08 for his May wheat. Assuming this figure to be approximately ‘correct Mr. Patten might have sold the wheat delivered him at $1.12 for delivery in July, which would show a profit of 4 cents per bushsl. May wheat, how- ever, opened at $1.241% to $1.24% and a good demand for actual wheat would enable the bull leader to sell at a much greater profit. ‘While May 1 is commonly known as delivery day sellers have until the end of the month to turn over the wheat which they have sold. Former- ly only No. 2 red winter wheat could be delivered on future contracts, but under a new rule of the board made two years ago No. 2 epring wheat was made standard. A large quantity of this latter, it is expected, will find its way down from the Head of the Lakes when nayigation opens, thus swelling the amount in the Patten elovators. No. 2 red wheat is selling at $1.41% to §1.44% and No. 2 spring at $1.26. ASK RESTORATION OF WAGES Strike in the Missouri Lead District Spreading.

Marquette, Mich., May 3.—The fears that the furious gale on Lake Su- perior would be productive of disas- ler came to a tragic realization when the barge George Nester struck a reef oft the Huron islands, northwest of here, and was lost with all hands. There were seven men on board. In tow of the Schooleraft the vessel was bound for Baraga to load and in the terrific storm was driven onto the rocks. The lighthouse tender Marigold was directly behind her: Small boats could not live in the heavy s2as and the Marigold attempt- ed to rescue the Nester's crew by means of lifelines. This attempt was unsuccessful. The Nester went to pieces fast and in a short time she was a total loss and all those on board had perished. The Marigold has arrived here with news of the disaster.

ALL OF THE CREW ESCAPE Steamer Aurania Crushed by lIce in . Whitefish Bay. Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., May 3.— Captain Robert C. Pringle of the Cor- rigan line steamer Aurania has ar- rived here with ail the members of his crew and tcld the story of the sinking of his shi off tlie foot of Parisian island.

The great ice floes packed in on all sides of the ship with such tremendous force that the Aurania could not be moved. It finally became apparent that the steamer was sinking and plans were made for abandoning her. The crew climbed down to the ice, taking with them one small yawlboat to use in crossing the gaps in the ice field and started for the steamer J. H. Barlow, also fast in the ice three miles away. The perilous trip was made in safety. FEARED HER CREW IS LOST Steel Barge Batavia Found Abandoned on Lakes.
