So far Patten has only had to pay
for 2.450,000 bushels of cash wheat,
and he expects to get 1,200,000 bush
els this week. This will give him all

the season, advancing 1 cents over
Friday's close, and selling 3 cents
over the top notch made during the

fast as buyers want It. and that there
is to be no corner run by him.
A new sensation was given the
trade Saturday In the estimates of the
Kansas wheat crop of 60,000.000
bushels. It was made by an official
of the Santa Fe road and created act

mate two weeks ago Indicated 94,
000,000 bushels. Drought has cut
the crop down, and as Kansas Is the
largest Winter wheat district, it caus
ed a rush of buying, as It means that
the Winter wheat crop Is to be heavi
ly short of last year.
