On the New Orleans market, according to
tha FIIatgr, tie demand Tor rough rice was
quiet fr the better part Of last week. and
tie receipts were quite large. Prices, how
I ever. remained about the same, owing to
/ tie frmness Of the clean market. in which
I there Is now quits a strong demand. This
| has tended 10 restrict sales OF rough unless
sellers' views were met. With the prospect
Of q short crop both in Calcasieu and other
/ parishes prices should remain steady.
/ Charleston advices state that the now crop
is now beginning to come to market but as
yet not in sufficient quantities to change
prices.

The short food supply in Europe ought to
| have beneticent effect on the price of rice
| A well-known New York authority on rice
gives the following advice to rice planters:
| Don't fool your crop away. Sell when you
can geb its worth and not before. II posi-
bic avoid putting your crop in the power of
any man by which we mean do not ship
your goods without knowing your agent
and that he will be governed by your ex-
pressed wishes 1t is impossible to give any
suggestion with regard to values, for
the quality Of the crop varies, but it is
safe 10 say that good rough ought to net
now 81 rs per bushel on the plantation,
and later on even more. We do not wish
70 mislead and therefore emphasize that our
| nrlIntnn for
These who have been slothful aud negli-
gent, whose crop is ordinary, will have to
be satisfied with less, buS ON the other hand
those who have been unusually careful and
painstaking ought to get even more. Ons
thing ought to be borne in mind, and that
is, the rice crop Of the United States is
every year short OF requirements and if cur
planters possessed or exercised the holding
power they would never accept less shan
above mentioned price, for it il relatively
below the importing cost Of equal grade in
foreign.
The total port receipts Of cotton yester-
day we're sixty-seven bales less than the
corresponding day last year. They were
80, 602 bales, against 80, $3.50 bales year ago
= | OF yesterdays receipts Savannah came
; pretty near getting a third, her receipts
being 9. 722 bales, which is 2 OIL bales more
D than the corresponding day last year. Tho
| SpOb safes yesterday on IQlS narKeb were
r | 4,265 bales, the largest single days sales
this season, and this in the face of an adj
vance Of 1>l6@1sc in all grades. The New
Il York future market went up II points, the
b, reaction caused by port receipts falling off
having strengthened that market
. The Central railroad is bringing in from
b 5000 to 5000 bales Of cotton day. In ten
t days from now, if the present movement of
o cotton continues, it will be handling from
Q 10000 to L, 900 bales "a day, and perhaps
more. The crop all along the Central's
!: lines is about two weeks late, and its real
}, movement to the market has not begun yet.
: The receipts at Augusta. the second largest
l., inland cotton market Of the country,
are very light up to date. The cotton COM
l. ing IN is being handled very expeditiously
d and no reports have been received vet of

forty loaded cars each. The boys at the

4 The manufacturers OF North Carolina
r dressed lumber have organized an associa~
r ton or trust TO be known as the North
q Carolina Dressed Lumber Company, with a
r minimum capital of 100000 and maxi
< mum capital of $4,000, 600. John L. Roper
of Norfolk is president, and the head
. quarters are at Norfolk. The association com.
= prises about thirty firms, and the object is
l. TO control tie dressed lumber output of
