Omaha , Neb. , April 22. Instead of Patten , the Chicago wheat king , being a speculator in grain , he is a philan thropist. Such is the estimate placed on him by W. C. Sunderlnnd , a promi nent J Omaha elevator man , a leading grain buyer and the Omaha partner of Patten & Bartlett , of Chicago. Speaking pf what Patten is doing and what he has done , Sunderland has this to say about him : "The Influence of Patten on the price of Nebraska and Iowa wheat ought to be enough to make every farmer and Secretary Wilson a friend of Patten fi r evermore. Patten Is a cash grain buyer and not a speculator , dealing in margins , without ever having a bushel of grain to deliver. Time and again he has demonstrated that by buying Nebraska , Iowa and Minnesota wheat and paying the highest market-price for It. "Now Patten found out- for himself that the world's supply of wheat was short. Ho has had men In all parts of the world where wheat Is grown , men who know what they were talking about. He does not gather his statis tics from postmasters , as does Secre tary wllson , of the department of agriculture , but he spends his money securing reports from experts. In his employ he has a man , Snow , the for mer head of the Wilson bureau , that gathers information relative to crops. Snow knows how badly the depart ment of agriculture gathers statistics , and he has aided Patten In organizing a system that for reliability beats the agricultural department. " PATTEN'S DEAL AIDS.
