the week ending on Friday, the 25th, amount to
ss 900 bales.
The sales on speculation were lO,5OO bales and
9,5o0 bales were taken for expectation.
Fair and Middng qualities of clear Cotton have
advanced to 4d., owing partly to the fact that
clear American Cottonis getting scarce in the mar

slightly advanced The sales of Cotton on Friday
the 28th, were 10000 bales, of which spectators
and exporters took 1000 bales. The market on
Friday closed firm at the extreme quotations of the

visit 10 a Isice Field.

The editor of the Salisbury TTaicimau
lately visited Carolina rice-de,d, and gave
a very interesting description Of what lie wit
messed. The following is avery readable ex.
tract:
In the fall, after the rice is cut, as soon as
perfectly dry, the s,ubblci is burnt of. Some
times the weather will not allow this, then
it remains and is chopped under in the win.
ter In December the whole land intended
for cultivation is gone over with the hoe,
breaking clods, &c. In March the planting
season begins, and from that time onward Is
the rush. AS soon as a field is planted il is
covered with water aud SC remains unit the
rice is pretty well grown. The waleris then
let OIL, and soon alter the field is gone over
with the hoe to chop out grass and work the
1ice. This is done twice before the crop ri.
pens. The irrigation is managed so that
when one field is under water, another may
be dry. Several hands are employed in clear.
ing out ditches, stopping leaks in embank-
men,s, &c.
Every kind Of bird is lover of rice, and an
enemy to the interests ofthe rice planter, but
the one most dreaded is the rice-bird. It's
a small bird, of darkish brown color, with a
sharp, stout bill, with which it grasps the
stalks ofrice and squeezes the milk from it
as effectUally as ii done with a pair ofnp-
pers. The only means Of getting rid of them
is by powder and shot; and though thousands
upon thousands are killed, they still appear
as thick as at first. During the season Of
killing, hogs and dogs upon the plantation
all get fat, The negroes are provided with
guns, and stand upon the banks and shoot
from morning till night. When a flock of
these birds Come down near n rice-feld, they
swoop down with noise like thunder, and
the beautiful green rice-stalks fall down be-
fore them as does the rice before the reaper's
hook. Left to themselves a few hours wo'd
suffice to clear the field; but half dozen
muskets scare them off for a time. But few
who do not live in that section have any idea
of the immense damage which they do to the
fice-planters, and | suppose there is no
means of correct calculation, as they never
iaiLt appear. though more numerous some
years than others. NJ. lIeares informed me
that last year he consumed thirty-fve kegs
of powder in shooting them. and that one
year he had used as much as fifty kegs. The
was in proportion. ''.97 %
