A BAD DAY FOR SHORTS They Arc Caught Napping Corn Will Sell Much Higher Tho IClcvriitti Hour Man 1 Liable to be Stung The Man With Courage Will Likely Clean lp. Chicago, 111., May 28. The Patten dea! sprang Into tho limelight by a sensational advance In the price of May corn, the quotation for which dropped to 73 Va cents early In tho session and then Jumped to 78 ;g cents, the closing price. Shorts, who had been led to bn- lleve that the deal was over because of rcportH of large private settle ments within the last few days, were caught napping, nnd when brokers acting for the Patten crowd started to bid the market up the bears al 00 j 00 ; 00 ' most tore each other to pieces In their frantic effort to cover. In the midst of the excitement Mr. Patten with a characteristic shrug of his shoulders said: "Don't ask nie. Evidently there are a few people who want the stuff mighty badly," and then after a pauso he continued: "Corn will sell much higher. All this talk of a cor ner Is nonsense. Why, I just bought a lot of cash corn at May price, 77 cents, and turned around and sold It to a shipper, cost, Insur ance, and freight, Buffalo, for the same money It cost me. That tells the story." While It Is tho general belief among brokers that Mr. Patten has given some of the large shorts an opportunity to make settlements In the last few days, all the bears have not yet taken their medicine, and, Judging from the action of the mar ket, the latter may have to swallow a bitter dose. The Patten crowd, so brokers declare, Is still In full con trol of the market, and tho predic tion Is made that those of the shorts who insist on remaining out until the "eleventh hour," will have to submit to a severe squeeze. It Is said that $800,000 was made by Patten in the settlement with one man of one short "angle" of the Pat ten corner In May. A Wall Street man, well known as a speculator, made the settlement, paying Patten 77 for corn that had cost the latter 61. Patten's profit of 16 cents a bushel was based on a deal of 6,000,000 bushels. The set tlement was made In private for fear that the market might be affected. The daring but Ill-advised Wall Street man Is said to have begun to sell short months ago, Patten buying his offers as fast as they were on the market. The speculator did not dare chance the risk of going Into the market to buy the 5,000,000 bushels he was short, for fear that the price might soar to $1. , The .Semite lllossoms. Washington, May 28. Heartened by the appearance In the Chamber of Senator Scott and his pajama-l!ke suit of pongee silk, a number of Sen ators blossomed in startling ties and shirts and handkerchiefs. Carter wore a heliotrope creation of a shirt that a young woman in the visitor's gallery studied critically from be neath the brim of a Merry Widow hat and declared a "dear." In order to display Its beauties to the best advantage Carter did not wear a vest with his pepper and suit frock suit. Piles had a confec tion In neckwear that was so green It hurt the eyes, with a handkerchief to match artistically draped from his coat pocket. Owen sported a red handkerchief with a gray suit, while Stewart, the patriarch of the Senate, wore a neck tie of such 1. radiant peacock blue it was fairly dazzling. To Itcsumo Cattle Tests. Albany N. Y.. May 24. In spite cf the protests from the farmers who havo been Injured by the system, and also In spite of the charges recently made ty Governor HugheB regarding the administration of the State Agri cultural Department, the old policy of applying the tuberculin tests to cattle will be continued with renew ed vigor by R. A. PearBon, the new cattle commissioner, who succeeded Charles A. Wletlng in April. Mr. Pearson said that as soon as the department new appropriation for his depart ment Is made available ho will put to work his full force of inspectors la every dairy county in .the State from whloh may come requests for the test or complaint la made of the suspicion of tuberculosis In cattle.

Though the movement Is making vnst strides and gathering convert In mnny unlikely places, even the most hnrdened suffragette will be In terested in the news that Corea Is the latest scene of war In tho ladles' battle. The movement takes a simi lar form to that which it has shown elsewhere, and is Interesting If only from this point of view, as auguring tho possibilities of a big united movement in the distant future on the part of all progressive women, says the London Trtbuno. Equality of the sexes Is what the Corean ladles desire, radical changes In woman's dress, bettor education nnd an Improved business footing between Corea and other countries (a novel idea this) with tho inten tion of thereby benefiting the women Indirectly in the Increased prosperity of the country. The women who have allied them selves to this movement are drawn from the upper middle class and have opened a women's club, nnd have embodied the Ideas already no ted In a manifesto, which is a truly amazing document. The members of the new club are dotting their native costumes, and going in for a terrible European compromise, in which tho inevitable spectacles, always asso ciated with learning play a conspicu ous part. The club has grown up members and also young schoolgirls, who to show their Independence are allowed to go to Bchool nnd In the streets minus tho sheltering "nproa" (a head covering) which Is always worn by uiu eoivan renualno when before the P'ibKc tuze. in the manifesto tho Corean womnn bewail their hard lot; a : bailed a volco In the affairs of either household or State, they feel tr?y are In nn evil case Indeed and be'levo themselves to b-3 the most downtrodden members of their box on the rlobo.
