The question is frequently asked
as to why there are fewer wild
ducks here this winter than last
season. The congregation of ducks
here depends largely on the feed
conditions and the small cohog clans
which constitute a great part of
their diet when here are not numer-
Gus enough this winter to attract
them The scarcity of clans is
probably due to the freshness of the
river, owing to the heavy rainfall of
the past summer.

PRESIDENT TAFT
LOCKS HIMSELF IN
MAYOR BUsSE OF CHICAGO ONLY
ONE PERMITTED TO PENE-
TRATE BLOCKADE.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1s.--President
Taft divided his time today between
the preparation of the nrst draft OF
his budget message to congress and
attention to q large pile of corre-
spondence, which had accumulated
during the past two weeks. In order
the better to attend to this work, the
chief executive locked himself in his
library with strict orders that no one
was to be admitted.
Former Mayor Busse, of Chicago,
was the only one who got past the
blockade. He called in behalf OF
Judge Carpenter, of Chicago, whom
he was advocating for the circuit
judgeship left vacant by the resigna-
ton Of Judge Peter s. Grosscup dur
ing the last session OF congress. The
name of the new appo!ntee probably
will go to congress before the presi-
dent leaves for Panama, a week from
tonight
In addition to his regular work. the
president also found time today to
make out long list of persons whom
he wishes personally to remember at
Christmas, despite the fact that he
will be in Panama Fifty turkeys
have been ordered for the White
House clerical force, and other pres
ents will find their way to large
number OF the presidents friends In
all sections of the country.

NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Early In
August this column made state
ment concerning the possible lint yield
per acre from the crop then under
cultivation, and now being finally
placed on the market. The ground
was taken then that the crop, which
failed to hold Its own during July,
would prove to be disappointing in
yield. that Is TO say, that the yield
per acre would be less than normal.
The record OF twenty years previous
was alluded to. and from the point
of view OF this writer, seemed to prove
that results would be in a measure
disappointing for the crop as
whole
Today's report of the bureau OF
statistics OF the department of agrl-
culture estimated the lint yield at
1880, 600 bales from the current crop.
This was somewhat over expectations
OF the trade generally. but confirms
practically the average of all crop
estimates made by Intelligent ohser-
vers. and the possible result will be
about 14250.06o bales commercially,
which will include l!nters and re-
packs.
The market was strong early In the
day, and up 10 within a few mo-
mnnts of the announcement Of the
government fgures January contracts
sold at 1874; March at 1885; May.
1878, and July at 12.74. This was
before the report was issued, and on
the figures announced--1S,S2 o.0oo
bales, as compared with govern
ment estimate OF 15,5b3,o00 bales for
the corresponding date last year-the
market broke rather sharply about
twenty points But 1t was buoyant
and active, with good support and
correspondingly heavy realizing and
other pressure.
The Liverpool market. which re-
NAMED open throughout the New
York afternoon session. moved in ac
cordance with New York quotations.
The early report from that market
was better than expected with eight
thousand bales of actual cotton sold
at one point advance TO 7.07 pence
for middling.
