Washington, D. G., Oct 2.-Authen-
tic information as to President Roose-
velts East Africa hunt was given to
the public yesterday afternoon. The
arrangements for; the trip are not yet
complete, but as to the essential fea-
lures the president has his fixed
IDEAS. " ss# M ss 80 r.
In the first place, all the reports
about, Seth Bullock, Bill Sewall and
other mighty guides and hunters have
been invited to accomp the presi-
dent, and his son, are less substantial
than moonshine. +. ,.&
In the first place the president is
not intending to make the hunt an
armed expedition into the dark conti-
nent for the extinction Of all the
game. !. H., -. q
In the second place, the men; mem
toned know nothing more about hunt-
ing in Africa than the president does
While the president is willing to con-
cede that they are fine fellows and
might probably assist him In having
"a corking time" the hunt is not to be
a distinctly social features ~
Third, and most important Of all,
nobody other than the Sshickarees and
other hunt functionaries is to join
the president on the other side. Should
any titled parsonage be Ioafing about
the place where the Roosevelt party
plunges into the hunting TERRITORY,
they will be there without Invitation
from him, isfPraf:::cc. - q
The possibility of having. dozen
or more grand dukes, small army

barons awaiting at the place of the

presidents mind, wherefore what to
do should such j a thing happen has
not vet been thought out, 3Ir5 ays5
In the event that King Edward

President Roosevelt does not yet

he intends to present specimens Of

CLOSE ALMOST AT TOP

Chicago December 15.-The government report giving the final estimate on the wheat crop of the United States for 1908 today checked the declining tendency of prices in the wheat market and caused a firm tone at the finish, final quotations showing net gains of ha14c to Ac. Corn and provisions closed steady and oats easy.
 The government report, which was made public 15 minutes prior to the close of the session, caused active covering by the shorts, enliveDing otherwise a dull day. Prices rose sharply as a result of the de- mand, advancing 1c from the low point Of the day. According to the official sta tistics, the total yield of wheat of the United States is approximately e,OOOoO0 bushels in excess of the previous estimate, but 1t had been generally expected that the final estimate would be larger ln- crease. The market was also bullishly affected by advices from Argentina which claimed harvesting operations were being delayed by wet weather.
 The market displayed considerable weak ness early in the day, owing to declines at all the leading grain markets of Europe and because of continued favorable weather for the fall-sown crop of wheat in this country. The close was firm at almost the best figures of the day, with May at s1.05aQ1.05A and July at STAG. Minneap polls, Duluth and Chicago report ed receipts of 450 cars, against 462' cars last week and 7OS cars a year ago.
 Reports of a falling off in receipts at country stations caused firmness in the corn ct the greater part of the day, but the market eased off somewhat late Tn the session. owing to the bearish showing of the government report, the close pe- ing barely steady The report indicated an increase of about 25,0O00O0 bushels in the total crop of 1908, compared with the previous estimate. At the close prices were unchanged, h@Ac lower, compared with lne final quotations of yesterday. May closed at 6119c and July at 6lssq0l1sc. Local receipts were S2 cars, with of con- tract grade.
 Oats were firm early in the day on buy ine of an influential character, but weak ened as a result of the showing of the government report, which indicated an m crease of 13o00,000 bushels in the total yield for 1908, compared with the previous estimates. Cash oats were Aqhc lower. The market closed easy with prices B@ssc lower than yesterdays close. Final quo tations on May were 5214c and on July 4Tkc, Local receipts were S20 cars.
 Sales by western packers caused moder- ate weakness in provisions and the mar ket closed easy with prices unchanged to o1Lc lower. Trade throughout the day was not large.
 Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, a cars corn, 316 cars; oats. lSo cars; hogs, 4700O head.

MARKET VERY UNSETTLED

New Orleans, December 15,-The cot ton market was nervous and unsettled today, an early advance being lost, with tine close barely steady at net decline of to points. Sales were estimated at 175,OOO bales.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to points in response to bet ter cables than expected, and on con- tinuatlon of yesterdays covering move ment, which was based on reports that the ginning during the period December 1 to 19, would show big falling off as compared with the previous period. But, there seemed to be no aggressive bull support, some recent buyers for turn started realizing on the slight im- provement and the market soon weakened, with prices becoming particularly unset tied late in the day, following the report of a decline In Savannah's spot mar ket, making a new low record for the season at that point. The close was at the lowest point of the day.
 The southern spot markets officially reported before the close were generally unchanged with the exception of Sayan- nah and private advices from the in- terior as to spot conditions were con- flicting
 Receipts at the ports today were 1O1,9s2 bales against 95,4e2 last week and &,75S last year. For the week SSo,000 bales against 41O,667 last week and 4oo.7l5 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans 22,576 against 90, 553 last year, and at Hous- ton 27,251 against 24s9S last year

inforced the bears in their attack, which laid large stress on the unsettling effect of tariff revision, especially of the steel and means committee of the House of important steel men gave point to this contention. Part of the acute weakness shown by American Smelling in the last few days has been attributed to the prop osition to reduce the tariff on lead. A bad effect was produced by the reports of the increasing agitation over the propo- sition of the railroads to advance freight rates and over the extensive increase said to be involved in the changes pro- posed to the interstate commerce com mission. The threat to take congress siopal action on the subject opened up a prospect of hostile activity toward the project which was not relished by those who have counted on the advantage of the increased freight charges to the hold CTS of railroad securities.
 A reduction In copper quotations at New York metal exchange was a factor in the depression shown by the metal in- dustrials. The disclaimer put out by the Pennsylvania railroad of the reports of the placing of it's steel rail order for the year was the cause of some disturbance, as the holding back of that order is of influence on the business of all the other railroads. A. much more active demand was reported for time loans and less was offered, resulting in advancing rates, in oonsonance with the rise to four per cent in cali loans The ,firmer money market reduced the demand for remit tance of funds to foreign ceHters and weakened the exchange market. Expect ed engagements of gold for export, there fore, were not made. The considerable demand to cover shorts at the end of the day was testimony to the professional origin of much of the selling.
 Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value, s6,164000.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, December 15.-(Special)- Easier southern markets with lower quo tations at Galveston, New Orleans and Savannah finally affected our market, which during the morning had remained very steady at about yesterdays clos ing prices.
 Throughout the north and west large purchases of cotton have been made dur ing the past three months with the belief that the south would hold or not press their cotton for sale but with the south ern markets slowly breaking away, this support is weakened With Savannah SAC and January S1z cents cotton in New York does not look as cheap as it did. This is the only new factor In the situa- tion.
 Heavy receipts continues the movement so far this week is about 10000 bales ahead of last week. Still the market does not break, as each day there are investment buyers in the north, who take the southern offerings on concessions.
