CHICAGO, April 2.~That James A Patten, hafled throughout the country a: the “wheat king,” has withdrawn from the market after disposing of his heavy hold- ings of May and July wheat, was asserted in many quarters here today. To this as. sertion was added the fact that prices have { tumbled over 9 cents during the last week, and that Patten has sought rest in New Mexlica. | Whether he has eliminated himself from the so-called “‘deal,” and if so, whether he | came out with profit or loss, are questions | which can be answered only by Mr. Pat- ten himself. Those who read the dispatches from Col- orado anent the discouraging reception met by a reporter who tried to Interview the big speculator at Trinldad between trains, ‘Dxplnlur‘d the opinion that this answer | scemed unlikely to be forthcoming.
