Failure-Rice Coming In Slowly to
Market, and g Sharp Advance in
Price Yesterday.
The continuous rains OF the past ten days
is having very telling effect on the rice
crop now being harvested. Rice planters
say that the rains have covered the territory
from Charleston TO the Satilla river, and
the most complaints come from planters up
the Savannah and Back rivers and from
the Ogeechee river,
RICE NOW BURNING AND sPRoUTING.
Ii is said that the rice already cut and
stacked il now heating and becoming now
burnt That on the stubble Is also sprout-
lug. while the rice which is not cut, it is
feared, Is becoming over-ripa OF
course, the late rice is all right
and win not be injured by tho present rains.
Several planters on the Savannah river say
that fully 10 20 % per cent. of their crops
are damaged, while others say that about
per cent. will cover their loss. The pre-
rains continue four or five days longer the
crops around Savannah viii be fully so per
cent. short
But LITTLE RICE COMING IN.
There is very little rice coming into the
mills, owing to the unfavorable weather.
and there is no clean Carolina on the
market. Dealers are handling pretty much
all New Orleans rice.
The clean rice market was stronger yes
terday, in view of adverse reports from
the crop, and prices we're marked up one
eight all around
FAILURE OF THE COOPER RIVER CROP.
A Berkeley, s. c., dispatch says the rice
crop on Cooper river this year has almost
been complete failure. Owing to the sGlt
river large portion of the rice land,
though ready for the seed, was left I'M
planted. What was planted has had hard
time, and the crop will be very short In
1Sl6-'l7 the river was so salt that no rice
was planted for two years. Cotton and
small grain were tried in the rice field, but
the results were poor. Whether we are to
have a repetition of that condition of things
remains to be seen. Taking it altogether
the lot Of the Cooper river rice planter is at
present not happy one. The highland
crops have been fairly good.
