1t appears that the expected results
in the change of train service by the
Great Northern have not materialized,
as there is already talk of dissatisfac-
ton among the officials, and rumor
current that the night train will be
put on again in the near future. The
night travel, which they expected
would come to the day train, has app
parently dropped off entirely, and in
order to get it back will have to re-
sumo the night service. You can
play horse with some of the people
all the time, but not all the people
all the time; and the Great Northern
is just beginning to find that out.

Tia Rice Prospect.

It is with pleasure we call the at
teution to the fact that our prophe-
sizes in regard to the rice market are
proving correct. Within two weeks
we note an improvement in the price
of rough rice Of nearly 40c per Dbl.
We now predict that not only will
this price be maintained but 60 still
higher. The best Honduras rice
should sell in the New Orleans mar
ket at from So to So rs and then at.
ford the millers a fair profit, as per
quotations of cleaned rice.
1t should be remembered the pub
lished quotations are all shaped by
the combine; but even at their own
figures, rough rice should command
the price mentioned above.
We therefore advise our rice
farmers to hold their rice until this
price is offered. W. are now speak,
ing Of the best grade and of course
the lower grades must sell for less.
Speaking of grades; Wheat,
corn, barley, rye, oats and other
cereals are sent to the market and
inspected and graded.
There is no such provision in re
gard to rice. Our farmers ship to
New Orleans and the rice is sup
posed to sell on its merits; bat does
it? We leave the question to be
answered by farmers who have had
experience 10 the matter. There
have been instances in this. parish
where two lots of rice have been
shipped on the same train by two
farmers, in which the poorer quality
sold for 25c more per Dbl than the
better grade aud that on the same
day. The farmers have not always
received fair treatment 10 the New
Orleans market and to this cause
more than anything else may be at
tributed to the limited receipts,
Whenever the buyers are willing to
pay a fair price, proportionate TO the
price Of cleaned rice and deal fairlY
there will be no lack OF shipments.
