IT AMOUNTS TO $37,800,000 Figures Show 140,000,000 Bushels of Grain on Hand at 27 Cents Over Normal. Chicago, April 6—Over $37,000,000 has been put into the pockets of the farmers of the United States by the spectacular deal in May wheat which James A. Patten and his associates are carrying on in the Chicago board of trade. To be exact the figures are $37,800,000. These figures are arrived at in the following manner. Best estimates of the amount of wheat now on the farms, in the granaries and bins of the men who plant, cultivate, reap and thresh the grain is 140,000,000 bushels in the United States. During the week that has just ended prices of May wheat on the Chicago board of trade ranged from $1.22 1-4 a bushel to $1.18. These prices are abnormal. They are the highest touched by May wheat since the fa- mous “Joe” Leiter corner in 1895. The price of May wheat now is at least 27 cents a bushel higher than it would have been had not the great pull movement of the “king of the pit,” Patten, been inaugurated. With these figures — 140,000,000 bushels ang 27 cents as a basis of caleulation—the figure $37,800,000 is easy. Every One Is “Bull Crazy.” On the Chicago board of trade—to use the language of one of the biggest operators—“every one is bull crazy.” Never in the history of the wheat pit has there existed such a condition of affairs as holds at the present time. Never has there been such a_ wild scramble to buy, buy, buy, and then buy some more. May wheat or July wheat, it matters not; it all looks alike to the frenzied crowd which wants a line of wheat in anticipation of a rise in prices of the commodity. “It’s going up and up and up. Get aboard the band wagon,” is the cry. James A. Patten, out of his long line of May wheat Saturday, just to keep the price from skyrocketing and from a going to too high a figure, dumped 1,000,000 bushels of May wheat into the pit. Gobbled Up by the Crowd. Like a school of hungry trout rising to a fly was this 1,000,000 bushe!s gobbled up. It was all sold in less time than it takes to tell about it. Men fought, fought, fought like mad- mento get a slice of this wheat. Prac- tically every man in the country who takes a flyer in wheat is a bull now. NORTHWEST HIT BOTH WAYS. Coal Goes to Europe and Ships Bring Back English Ores. Pittsburg, April 6.—The incorpora- tion of the Pittsburg Coal and Ore company, which in the past week has been incorporated through the laws of West Virginia, has called attention to the fact that Pittsburg coal to the amount of perhaps 20,000,000 tons has been contracted for by Southern Eu- rope and that the coal which usually went to the Northwest will be shipped abroad at figures more advantageous than those given by American mar- kets. At the same time the steam- ships which will carry the coal abroad have ‘been guaranteed a full comple- ment of English ores to American on the return. END FARM SCHOOL COURSE. First Class Graduated From Crooks- ton Institutioin. Crookston, Minn., April 6.—The first graduating class of the Crookston school of agriculture was graduated Saturday, when eight young men and women, sons and daughters of a num- ber of leading farmers in this section, were given certificates, The exercises were held in the new Stephens hall and were witnessed by a large crowd from-all sections of Northwestern Minnesota.
