SEA ISLAND CorToN.-The market continuing bare
of stock and receipts, there were no transactions
and prices were entirely ne minal. In lower Carroll
M the continued wet weather has had IN some
places an Injurious effect on the plant and much ir.
jury will arise unless dry change should take
place.
RICE.-The market for this grain has been WITH
out animation and there is little disposition TO pu-
chase present figures, but the stock Is light and
factors are not inclined to make important conces-
sions. We note sales Of about 60 tierces G. clean
Carolina during the week, say 29 terces at 10 l16c
p TO-, and 80 tierces at 1014c q 10. We quote con-
mon to fair clean Carolina at 924@loIc.; good 1o1:
