Maryland Season Begins September 8.
The Patuxent marshes will be favored, as
in past years, by many old-ttme gunners
The reed bird and ortolan season does not
open in Maryland until September 5. Big
bags are always made on the Patuxent by
good shots There is law which pre-
vents persons shooting on the PatuXent
without permission of the owners of the
land contiguous to the place where the
shooting is done, but the frequenters of
the marshes from this city have staining
arrangements for this purpose.
In the ease with which the marshes OF
both the Eastern branch and the PatuXent
can be reached this year. the sportsmen Will
be much better Off than formerly, the CO.
Iumbia line of electric cars taking them d.
rect to Benning bridge. while the Chesa-
peake Beach railway will land them in the
Immediate neighborhood Of the PatuNent
covers.
Labor Day Tournament.
A great many well-known gunners will
use small-bore guns in their marsh Shooting
this year The tendency toward the small
bore is growing more and more pronounced,
and while the 2O-gauge was favored to
quite an extent in the past few years. the
2S-gauge is now becoming popular.
There will be tournament at clay pig
cons at Stubener's, on the Biadensburg
road on Labor day. which is the first Mon
day in September, and close day on the
marshes. There will be several events
for 2S-gauge guns, and those who have
already entered are Uncle Billy Wag-
ner Phil. Stubener. Tubby Dickerson,
Ralph Nutting. Arthur Mattingly. Joe Hun
ter and Messrs. Hedinger. Duvall and
Steele all of whom have had Parker %
bores made for them this summer.
All the gentlemen declare themselves
more than pleased with the little fellows,
and assert that in ordinary shooting they
do as thorough execution as 12-bore. The
guns weigh 6 or 61a pounds each. have Do
inch barrels. and the shells are loaded with
~ drachms of powder and Is of an ounce
of No. 10 shot. For larger shot they are
not so well adapted.
In addition to the clay pigeon events at
Stubeners on Labor day live pigeon
match will be shot off between Phil Stu
bener and Ralph Nutting. They will shoot
at twenty-five birds EACH thirty yards rise,
five traps, five yards apart, fifty yards
boundary Each will shoot a 12-bore gun
in this event. There has been considerable
rivalry between the two over their respec-
tive merits. and the match will attract wide
interest. Each man has also declared his
willingness to shoot live birds against all
District corners, except Uncle Billy Wag-
ner. whose superiority they both admit.

WOOL MARKET,

Boston, Jan. 3.-The American Wool and
Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow: The
new year has opened with a quiet but
hardening wool market. There is no
pressure whatever to sell On the other
hand, holders are firm in their ideas and
Will not bulge an iOta from what they
consider TO De a fair valuation of their
stock Manufacturers, however, are not
buying. Several of them are really ready
to take wool when offered to them slight
ly under I ehmarket, but concessions are
not being made. The general belief Is
that the present lull in business is only
temporary and preliminary to another
period Of pronounced activity and
strength. 1t is thought that the next
London sales, which begin January Is,
will open on at least a parity with the
closing prices of the last series, if not
higher The situation aboard is not
strong The sales of the week in Boston
amount to 221o000 pounds domestic and
9a5. 600 pounds foreign. making a total OF
2.50a0O0. against total of 2,S5oO00 for the
previous week and a total Of ,7o5.0o0 for
the corresponding week last year

HOGS WERE LOVER
Prices Dropped Off 2 ~
Cents Yesterday.
TOP PRICE WAS S4.27 10
Heavy Local Demand Saved a
Further Decline.

The receipts at TIE stock yards were
trife light yesterday, but there was no.
ticeable increase over the last few days
The roads are now getting in shape so
that the farmers are able to move their
hogs and the high prices are inducing
them to place their fat stock on the mar
ket as quickly as possible.
The quality of the offerings twas fair to
good. There was some choice loads mar
weted late in the day, but the run earlier
In the day was, on the whole, poor. The
receipts in the morning were very light
and owing to late trains the bulk did not
get in until quite late in the afternoon
when trading was brisk and the market
evidenced a frmer tone than it did in
the morning. There was a good run of
wagon hogs.
The market was about 21z cents lower.
This was the general average, although
In some cases, which were few, it was
&c of Tuesdays prices. There were few
soft spots in the market, and as the day
progressed 1t took a firmer tone and
closed firm and strong at 81. .25a4. .271k.
The market compared well with other
markets in the west and the decline, if
anything, was not so sharp as elsewhere
The heavy local demand kept the prices
up. The Dold Packing company was on
the market for all the hogs it could Sc
cure, it needing double, at least, the
quantity it obtained The other buyers
also wanted hogs badly, and this
strengthened the market when, according
to the general feeling, It should have de-
clined from to 10c. Kansas City re-
ported the market as weak and to 1Oc
lower The bulk Of safes was $3.50
4.27l5.
The local market is attracting the at
tention Of every shipper IN Kansas and
Oklahoma, and the increasing receipts in
dicate that those who have never shipped
here before are becoming convinced that
the Wichita market is the best in the
west, and that the prices paid here are
higher, taken day to day, than elsewhere.

Irresponsive Cables Garry
Wheat Downward.
COARSE GRAINS LOWER
Hog Receipts and Profit TAX
ing Hit Provisions.

Chicago, Jan. 3.-Irresponsive cables
market today, May closing 9sq1ac under
yesterday. Corn closed 1sc and oats
shade lower. Provisions, affected by
heavy hog receipts and persistent profit
taking, closed under yesterday, May pork
121zc, May lard 1Oc and May ribs 5q71lc
lower.
May wheat opened nc under yesterday
at zoe, loss attributable to the ire
sponsive attitude of the Liverpool mar
ket, which, receiving free offerings OF
arrived cargoes from Argentine, ignored
the advance of 247sc here yesterday.
Trade was full throughout the session
and the volume of business light. The
break was checked temporarily on Brad
streets announcement OF a decrease in
the visible of 1,l4l,0O0 bushels and the
small primary receipts, May advancing to
704sc. The general lack of demand and
selling orders from London drew away
the support later and the market slumped
under puts, May to 6S5sc. The close was
ssHG15c lower, at 69s4 Q6S7sc, the market
having reacted a bit on buying against
privileges and scattered covering by
shorts Primary receipts were $4,000
bushels, 597, 900 bushels the corresponding
day last year. Local receipts for two
days were f18 cars, none of which graded
contract. Minneapolis and Duluth report
ed 261 cars, compared with 1920 last week
and 5S4 a year ago. New York reported
twenty-five loads taken for export. Sea-
board clearances were 10000 mushels.
Corn was fairly steady in the face OF
the break in the wheat Rnd provision
markets. Liberal receipts and reports
Of freer country offerings this side the
Mississippi had a depressing tendency.
Liquidation was general early, though not
large The firmness of Liverpool for spot,
and rumors of an urgent export demand,
some good sales for shipment and the re-
ports that country stocks are very light,
had a steadying influence and later in
the session many early sellers became
buyers Receipts here for two days were
1,021 cars. Clearances were $4,000 BUSH
els. May ranged from 33G331sc to 332sc,
closing hc under yesterday, at 331sG3314c.
Oats were steadied by some exports,
some 100000 bushels being reported by
some concerns. Cash people were buyers
OF futures. The market was rather duh.
New York reported 10000 bushels taken
for export. Receipts here were 40S cars.
The contract stock increased $1,000 bushels
last week. May ranged from 237s424 to
241sc, and closed shade down at ESQ
24c.
Provisions were generally weak, but be-
came barely steady at the decline. The
influences were large hog receipts and
lower prices at the yards. This influ
enced considerable heavy realizing and
the market declined in consequence. May
pork closed 121ac down. at SO So; May lard
1Oc lower at $50, and May ribs safe de-
pressed, at S5.65. AT times the market
was fairly active, but the volume of bus
mess was not as large as yesterdays.
Estimated receipts tomorrow: Wheat,
