Wheat King Jim Patten Linked to Wife’s Plea and Panic Sale
The Daily Mail reports Mrs Patten urged her husband to drop wheat prices as the “Wheat King” faced public outcry over bread costs. The couple’s churchwork and gambling debates framed Patten’s nervous stance leading to a large sale of wheat. Reportedly he sold a million bushels at 1.29 cents and four million more at 1.24 cents, retaining cash wheat and corn. Some dealers attribute the tale of his flight to New Mexico to lack of business grounds for action.
