LOUISIANA RICE CROP.
The Louisiana rics crop is being rushed
to market very rapidly. Receipts at New
Orleans already sum up 29,305 Oarrels and
sacks rough and mean, against 1902 last
season. The weather during harvesting
was all that could be desired, and the
quality of the rice is, therefore, better than
usual.

which had been placed in untouched edit
ces in the apparent track of the lire, and
the scene is rendered more more fearful
and appalling by the appearance of frag-
ments of these demolished houses as they
fly upward into the air. The note of pre-
paration for the worst has been sounded
everywhere, consequently the aggregate loss
will be greatly lessened by the prompt re-
moval of all portable goods. The greatest
difficulty, however, is experienced by mer-
chants in procuring the necessary means of
transportation as the horses are nearly all

the Large cities of the Union. Fabulous
prices are being paid for such services, and
vet the demand is far greater than the sup
ply. How it will end everyone is asking,
though hardly dare put the question TO
myself. 1t seems TO me that if it cannot
! be conquered now there is no reason to
think that it vii. be until it reaches Water
street, in which case it will sweep through
Dock Square, taking in Fanieul Hall and
Quincy Market, thence continuing its way
toward the shipping at Commercial and
Lewis wharfs and SO on up the harbor.

and certainly toward State street. AT
a quarter before nine O'Clock it had reached
a straight line from Congress street through
Lindeil to Kilby street and Liberty square,
both sides being on fire. The rear of the
postoffice, on Linden street, is burning. 1t
having become necessary to blow up the
building on the corner Of Congress street
aud Congress square, it was mined and ex-
ploded. Shortly before 9 o'clock the large
granite front building at the northwest cor
ner of Lincoln and Kilsy streets, occupied
by Vincent & Hutchins, insurance brokers,
j Wylie Edmunds ard others was also
blown upa O'Clock though the effect OF
the blast was apparently of no material ad-
vantage. The inside was shattered but the
walls and much of the woodwork was ieit
standing, the latter in condition TO aecei-
crate rather than retard the progress OF the
fire. The flames are making their way
with gains certainly towards the corner OF
Broad and State streets. 1t Will IN all
probability strike State street near the cor
ner of Kilby street, it being only three
doors distant At9 o'clock an effort Is be-
ing made to arrest the progressof the flames
by blowing up brick building which is the
third from State street front, but the ex
plosion failed to make decided impress

great manner towards Southeast. The
extreme limit of devastation in that direc-
ton being Hartford and Erie railroad depot,
extending however out on the road and
burning the bridge, then it runs along
Broad street to India, taking all the imme7s
date wharves and destroying few vessels.
The fire has worked around the new post Of
fee building and reached the northeriy
sides Of Water street. The large building
on the corner of Congress and Water
streets is in flames and will have to go.
Engines No. and No. q Providence
have reached the scene of fire, and there are
numerous hand engines present from towns
in this State. Lynn has sent two steamers
and horse carriage. No one branch OF
business suffers so much as the boot and
shoe, and hide and leather trade. The loss
here must exceed the great one sustained
by dry goods and jobbers in early hours OF
the morning.
Plundering by Thieves
became general, and firms who had removed
their stock to places of supposed security,
out Of doors were victims OF these
