May Wheat Soars to Historic Chicago Board of Trade Peak
May wheat sold Friday at the Chicago Board of Trade for 1194.4 a bushel, a record price. Prominent figures Patten and the firm Patten Bartlett & Co. are linked to the massive deal, with predictions of still higher prices to come. A Wall Street clique is said to be short, facing losses as crowds watch fortunes rise and fall in the wheat pit. Reginald C. Vanderbilt is cited as facing large losses tied to Sidney Lovey, a Chicago broker, and the Rock Island Frisco syndicate head William H. Moore.
