The rice market towards the lat.
ter part Of this week became some
what quiet, and to-day, Friday,
buyers and sellers are apart. No,
more than 500 to 1000 barrels Of
rough rice changed hands to-day,
and this at q decline of from 10
cents to 25 cents q barrel Below
yesterdays figures.
Clean rice is quiet, with bu,
small demand, dealers ella ming
that the country is filed with for
eign rice, which has to be sold even
at sacrifice before the trade will
take hold Of the new crop Of the
domestic article. Notwithstanding
the present quietness and decline
all retardation Of shipments " i
tend to hold up prices.-Louisiana
Planter.
THE PROSPECTS.
The outlook for q prosperous
season in the rice trade MAS never
more promising than now. The
market has opened quite acti'e.
and there is every reason to antici-
pate larger consumption than us
ual. At present prices there is lit
tic inducement 10 imi Ort foreign
rice, and should the United States
board Of general appraisers decide
the Patna case now before them
against the importers, there need
be little to fear from imported rice.
The new crop promises to I've large,
although it is triflle late in coming
to market, compared with its inn
mediate predecessor, which was
a somewhat early crop. The first
receipts came in on july 81, but it
was the middle Of August before
anything like fair receipts were re-
ported. The recei?ts TO date
scarcely equal a third of what they
were last season ut this time Pic
ayune.

PUT NONE BUT DEMOCRATS
ON GUARD.

In electing delegates to the next
Democratic State Convention, it is
essential and highly important to
see that none but true and tried
Democrats are chosen. For years
the Republicans have been trying
to split the Sold South, frat in ore
State and then another, and they
appear to have selected Louisiana
this time for their battle ground.
1t b well-known fact that the
leaders OF the Farmere' Alliance.
notably President Polk, have no
love for the Democratic party, and
are It's outspoken enemies. Only a
few days ago President Polk de-
clared that il the Farmers Alliance
failed in everything else, but sue
ceeded In splitting the Solid South,
he would be satisfied. The recent
convention of the leaders of the
State Farmers Alliance and . few
Anti Lottery politicians, at Lafsy-
cite, shows that they are in full sym
pathy with President Polk-al-
though thousands of the rank and
Gle Of the Alliance, who are Demo-
Gratis first and Alliance men after
wards, have refused to abide Nv the
terms Of the Lafayette dicker. The
programme Of that compact ID to
elect none but Alliance and Anti
delegates to the State Convention,
capture the Stale government under
the guise Of Democracy. and turn
It over to the Ocala third party.
To prevent the consummation Of
this act Of deception and treachery,
We repeat that none but true and
pronounced Democrats s!,Ould be
allowed to vote for delegates to the
Democratic State Convention, or
participate in any Democratic pri-
maries. No true Democrat will OBJ
ject to giving q pledge that he will
support the Democratic nominees.
both State aud national. In fact it
will be regarded as q pledge Of
fsalty to true Jeffersonian Democ-
raey and white supremacy, to which
no Democrat will object, while those
who hope to betray the party
through tho Farmers Alliance or
Anti Lottery mask, while they are
at the same time Republicans or
third party men at heart, Will
have to stand aside when the
Democratic procession passes by in
its triumphal march. Therefore We
favor the election of delegates to
the State Convention by white
Democratic primaries, allowing
none but Democrats to vote, and
to this all those Alliance men or
Ants who are Democrats cannot
object. We publish . form Of
pledge and rules to govern the
Democratic primaries, in another
column, which We copy from the
Times-Democrat, and we hope they
will be adopted. Cor something Of >
similar nature, } by the Democratic
State Central Committee, which
meets in New Orleans on Tues
day, October 18th.
