ers are only taking in a small way
This activity is in part attributable t
the fact that our leading houses have
all anticipatied the decline, and
marked their stocks down to about 3
gold basis. Meats, -four, coffee and
sugars are all weak, with a tendency
to lower figures; but other articles are
generally steady.

we are sorry to say, will not be reai
lied. A deficiency Of labor is one
great impediment, and the planters
are not well satisfied with the prices
obtained. However, the better grades
have, during the whole season, been
in request, and brought remunerative
prices. The remedy, it seems to US,
should be in improving the quality,
by paying more attention TO the seed
and threshing and dressing. At Ease.
for choice rice, its production cannot
but be remunerative. AS much as
the quality of Louisiana rice has been
improved, there Is still room for a
further advance. We have seen the
first years growth from Carolina
choice seed, that could not be sur
passed for color, size and quality of
the grain-in fact, a lot of this kind
was sold in this market for prime Car
DINA rice, and shipped as such. The
incoming crop viii be about what we
previously estimated it at-that is to
say, about 100, 900 bbls. clean. The
total receipts here from 1st September
to date are 1898 bbls. and sacks,
against 3S,l3l for the same period last
year, showing an excess of Il, 166 bbls.

crop, with a fair season, viii be about
