Are Sea GulIs a Menace?

A. K. Fleming, of New Brunswick,
is much concerned as to the future
of our wild ducks. He fears that
they are doomed to determination
due to the savage flesh eating sea
Igulls that inhabit Barnegat bay.
While duck hunting recently he saw
these sea gulls attack ducks, rend
them limb from limb and devou.
them greedily.
When the attention of Thorfin
TAFT, the president of the Fish and
Game Conservation League, was
called to the matter. he appeared
more concerned as to the brand
that would produce such a sight
than he did about the protection oil
the ducks.

Wnodcnck Law

Whether or not the present wood
cock law is a good one is giving
sportsmen through out the state
great concern. The hunters of the
northern counties are for it: many
OF the gunners in the central and
southern counties are opposed to it.

Trapshooting, Hunting, Fishing

There are good arguments on both
sides. The boys of the northern
counties say that If the eason on
woodcock does not open until No
Yember 10, the same as on other
upland game, the flight will be over
and they will get no woodcock shoot
ing at all. The other side claim that
the opening of the season on Octo-
Der l gives the lawless and I'M
scrupulous hunter an excuse to go
afield with dog and gun and that
this species of a sport" kills more
game of other kinds than he does of
woodcock.
The Union county gunners are
against the present law and have
given notice that at the coming ses-
sion of the legislature they are going
to try and have 1t changed.
Hen Pheasants
The closed season on the hen
~pheasants ends April z, 1924. This
was mentioned at the recent meet
ing of the Fish and Game Conser-
Walton League and the Legislative
Committee vas directed to make an
effort Il have the closed season con-
tinued for another term of years
IIlS, no uOuDl, Will DC uOIle.
The protection of the hen pleas
ant, together with the restocking by
the Fish and Game Commission, has
increased the number of these game
birds materially and it would be sad
mistake to make any change in the
law at this time.
Yellow Perch
The Union County Game Protec-
tive Association will try this year to
secure the passage of a bill protect
ing yellow perch as to size and num-
bers taken. While not a rue game
fish the yellow perch affords splen-
did sport to many who are unable
to catch the more gamey bass and
pickerel and the sportsmen of I'm
ion county feel that these fish should
be given some consideration,
In the northern part of the state
fishermen from Pennsylvania come
over in droVes and take from our
lakes large numbers of these fish
with no regard as to size and guam
tity and it is thought that a protec-
tive measure might put a stop to this
practice.

BOND TRADE LIGHT
Little Interest Shown In Investment
or Speculative Issues.

Copyright, by the San Antonio Light.
New York. Sept. 1S.-Trading in
the bond market was again on a very
small scale today. Neither in the
investments or in the speculative de-
scriptions was interest shown. High
grade rails and industrials were prac-
tically unchanged.
Among United States government
bonds the feature was the recovery
in the tax exempt 3 lbs which have
been steadily losing ground. The
third 4 Ids were a little higher at
one time. While dealers and traders
are skeptical as to any immediate
improvement in the market for prime
investments, there does not seem to
be any substantial liquidation in this
group. Nor are investment funds
in the present mood of Wall street
likely to seek employment in specula-
tive securities.

was considerable activity in st. Louis

GENERAL STOCK LIST
INCLINED TO IGNORE
DROP IN OIL SHARES
Sugars Strong While Rails
Stir Up a Little
Interest.
BY STUART p. WEST.

Copyright, by the San Antonio Light.
New York, Sept. 1s.-The stock
market showed again today a dimin-
ishing sensitiveness to the weakness
which continued in number of oils.
The support in Cosdcn, which had
appeared so plainly for weeks around
so and 20, having at length proved in
effectual. the stock W.. offered down
on large volume of transactions until
it dropped below %. Persons who
had insisted that the regular dividend
would be declared OF the MEETING late
in the week have now admitted the
likelihood that the present 81 will he
cut in two. Sinclair was another oil
that made a new low. the statement
for the six months having made il
seem virtually sure that the dividend
would go by the boards.
Some signs of returning interest were
noted in the rails. New York Cen
trail Mt one time was IN nearly n point
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
preferred had n moderate advance.
Southern Railway was bought partly
on dividend talk and partly out of
respect to the great rise in cotton.
There is no doubt that Southern Rail
way would be warranted. as earnings
are now geing. in beginning dividends.
The strength in the sugar stocks
was oStensibly merely the natural re-
hound after last weeks violent de-
cline. American Can held up most
of the session quite well. despite the
statement by well infofIed persons
that no change in the dividend is like
ly at the September meeting and that
any extra distribution will not be made
until December.
Among industrial specialtieS, which
stood out prominently. were United
States Cast Iron Pipe. New York Air
brake and the cotton oils. Buying of
the cotton oils was due to the favor
able construction placed in some quar-
tiers upon the reorganization plan.

COOLIDGE AND HIS
CABINET DISCUSS
FARM SITUATION
Secretary Wallace Making
Particular Study of
Wheat Problem.

Washington. ID. C., Sept. 1S.-l'rac-
tically all of today's cabinet meeting.
the longest held since President
Coolidge entered the White House,
was devoted to discussion of the agri-
cultural situation.
Afterward it became known that
Secretary Wallace is making par
ticular study of the wheat problem
and will report to the President late
next week, presenting facts which are
expected to enable the executive and
his advisers to formulate con-
structive program along sound eco
nomic lines. '-
Some of the suggestions under con-
sideration include the raising by some
wheat growers of other kinds Of crops
to replace commodities now imported.
The growing of more sugar beets
and flax is one Of the proposals con-
sidered.
There has been a large world wheat
production this year, and reports Civ
en- to the chief executive and his Of
fetal family indicate that Europe
probably will take 200,000,00O bush
els less of American wheat in the
coming year than in the past year.
The cabinet has been informed that
conditions in the cotton raising in
dustry are fairly satisfactory and that
the growers will receive larger
money return for this seasons crop
than they received in the pre-war
days.
The condition in the corn belt is
held to be satisfactory with prices re-
manning high.
Substantially the same reports re-
garding the cattle and hog industries
have been received.
