THE RICE MARKET.
A Savannah Broker Replies to
Charleston's Claims.

A Savannah Broker Replies to
Charleston's Claims.
While the rice crop in this section is
showing the effect Of the long, rainy season.
the actual damage thus far is not as great
as it was expected to be some weeks ago.
The quality Of the grain, however, is not as
good as that Of last season.
The factorsare handling home rice almost
exclusively, very little of the Louisiana
crop beiug now sent to this market The
tone of the market is dull on the low
grades and generally firm and active on the
higher grades.
The Charleston World Of Oct Is stated,
In short review of the market. that rice
Is naturally attracted to that place
because it Is the true market for the grain.
and that fair rice, which brings Az cents
IN Savannah, readily commands cents in
charleston, and 1t claimed a lot was dis
posed OF at that price several days ago.
A MORNING NEWS reporter saw one of
Savannah's prominent brokers yesterday
ON the matter, and he was quite indignant
over the Worlds state nent
savannah is as much of a rice market
as Charleston" said the broker, "but
Charleston factors, as a rule, are freer sell
ers. aud to be freer sellers their prices must
naturally be lower. In regard to milling
iaCilitios SAVANNAH mas equally as good, IL
not superior, mills to those in Charleston"
In answer to a question as to what he
thought of the sale mentioned in the World,
the broker said: "a sale was made in Sa-
vannah a few days ago Of $50 barrels OF
rice, presumably for Charleston account.
Ia this purchase, 240 barrels were offered at
~ cents and declined, and. in order to
effect the sale, a concession OF about
one-quarter Of cent was made on
smaller lot of about ninety-eight barrels of
better grade. And this was probably the
rice that was said to have been sold in
Charleston at 5 cents and which it is said
brought only ~ cents in this city. The $40
barrels OF this same sale were arterward
reoffered on the Savannah market by the
buyer at cost, but he failed to find a pur-
chaser. and it was then sent to Charleston,
where it is now being offered at AZ cents,
with no takers
Fair competition can be met any time
by the Savannah rice factors, but when an
effort is made to pervert the truth, it is high
time to call a halt and expose the whole
thing"

WEALTH IN JAPAN.
Interesting Facts About the Way it is
Distributed.

Interesting Facts About the Way it is
Distributed.
The Japan Mail says the ohan ges that
are steadily taking place in the distribution
OF wealth in that country are beginning to
cause serious uneasiness to the more intelli-
gent portion of the nation. A leading ma
tive paper, lately discussing the subject.
remarks that in consequence of the disap-
pearance of the feudaI restrictions on the
freedom of Commerce and industry, aud of
the introduction OF improved means of
locomotion and correspondence, there is an
increasing tendency of the wealth of the
country toward la ger centres of business.
1t illustrates this by various statistics
Thus the share which Toxic has In the
interest of public loln bonds increased in
three years from As to so per cent. The
percentage of bank shares In possession of
Toxic increased from SO to 81 in two years,
similarly with shares in other public COM
panies. and also in the case of the income
tax. should things go on at this rate,
Japan will soone' or later become, SO to
speak, the victim of brain congestion"
The lnalady is not confined to the accu-
mutation OF wealth in Toxic and other i'm
portant towns. Its equally noticeable that
capita is constantly passing into the hands
of small number of individuals, For in
stance, land which is in the eyes of a
Japanese farmer great deal more than q

which he is bound to maintain as the legacy
of hls ancestors, is rapidly passing out of
the hands of smaller proprietors into those
of rich men.
To substantiate the assertion, the Toxic
journal refers to the steady decrease in the

ton to the local assemblies InlS8O the total

IT'S ALL THE RAGE NOW.

The Morris Street Baptist Church in
Charleston Has Got 5ohism.
The Morris Street Colored Baptist church
of Charleston is in the procession. Aschism
has broken out in the congregation. The
church has been presided over for some
years by the Rev. J. L. Dart, who is, per-
haps, one of the most intelligent colored
preachers in Charleston, but VINO, it seems
has in someway displeased faction of his
congregation. One of the leaders of the
opposition was asked by NeaUs and Courier
reporter what they proposed doing with the
preacher.
"What we wants." was the reply, sis to
excommunicate him like"
Asked what the reasons were for "excom-
municating" the parson, the member went
on to say:
well, you see, he is inconsistent in the
discipline, and we want to get him out.
Now, there's two of the deacons he ALWAYS
censures at every service before all the peo-
pie, and he never allows them to attend the
meetings of the deacons. He is too incon-
sistent in the discipline. We have asked
him to resign, but he won't, and so we want
to try and excommunicate him.
How can you do thisae
by a majority vote Of the members
present"
1t was further learned that "a majority
of those present" had passed a resolution
''excommunicating" the parson, but what
the parson is going to do about 1t is another
question. 1t is more than probable that the
congregation of Morris Street Baptist
church will wake up in day or two with a
huge lawsuit on its hands, and as there is
no colored Baptist bishop in Atlanta to go
and smooth things over, it is probable that
the two factions are at the head Of long,
weary, stumpy road of litigation.
