TIL importations Of foreign dry goods du-
ring the month Of November, says the New
York Bulletin, have been a trifle less than for
the same time last year, though greatly in ex-
cess Of those In 1868. This statement repre-
sents the impOrtations for the five weeks
ended November 0th-our last monthly state
ment appearing on October 26th-the same
number of weeks being included in our COM
parative for the two preceding
years. The total entries at the port during
this period were sS,S52,y7S this year, against
Se-957,2S in 1910. There has been a decrease on
the manufactures of wool and silk entered for
consumption and Of silk and fax entered for
w~arehousing. This Is offset in part by ar In
crease In the entries for consumption OF linen
and miscellaneous dry goods, and OF the wool,
cotton and miscellaneous fabrics entered for
Tor w~arehousing, leaving a falling of in the
total entries at the port of only Sl4,260. The
Withdrawals from warehouse during the
month exceed those of the same period in
$50 by about S<N 900. OF this amount $751; 90
is on woolens and the balance is d distributed
over silk aud miscellaneous fabrics. There Is
q slight decrease on cottOns and linens.

CondInLon of the RIce CROP.

A correspondent writing from Charleston,
says: Rice culture in Sonth Carolina and
Georgia, formerly an important agricultural
interest," has made but little progress since the
war, the great difficulties In the way of its
successful prosecution being want of capital
and the unsettled condition OF labor. It is
hoped, however, that by the introduction OF
labor-saving machinery the crop may yet be
made certain at figures that will pay. In 1855
the product Of Georgetown county, South
Carolina, was 95,lN ~tieTces, constituting near
ly two-thlrds of the entire crop of the State
This was the yield of about 5000 acres then
cultivated, owl an average OF over forty
bushels to the acre-a remarkably heavy crop
at the present time there are less than
1900 acres cultivated for rice in the same
county. The wet weather during harvest
time has materially damaged the rice crop
throughout Georgia and South Carolina this
year, as at least two-thirds Of il has been wei
at some point between cutting and stacking in
the yard; while delays In harvesting, coRse
Qnent upon bad weather, have caused a con
siderable portiont 70 become oyer-ripe.
