Our agricultural readers, especially
those interested in rice, will he glad to
learn that the outlook is considered
more favorable for that product. We
herewith present an epitome of the last
review of Messrs. Dan Talmage's Sons,
New York:
Spite the approach of the holiday
and stock-taking period, the movement
in rice is still further enlarged. Some
of the transactions will not he consum.
mated by delivery and billing until 2d
proximO; all the same, however, it is
business concluded and is significant,
indicating confidence and an evident
belief that delay might be dangerous.
The increasing attention of buyers is
undoubtedly due to the ascertanment
of the following facts, viz: That cur
rent prices are 80 to so per cent below
importing cost of equal grade in for
elgn, while the supply is not excessive
and stocks throughout the country gen.
orally light. December and depression
are ordinarily synonymous terms in
rice, the twelfth month recording the
lowest point of the season. 1t the mar
ket follow the usual course, there will
be a steady upward progression from
DOW on, possibly accelerated by pbe-
nomeDal activity when the trade as an
entirety shall fully realize the relative
cheapness of the Domestic as compared
to the Foreign. The flow of rough to
the milling centers is steady, but every
consignment carries with it ipjunc-
tiOns to hold until next mouth. For
eign styles are dull, Domestic holding
the right of way by reason of its rela-
tive cheapness.'
In connection with the above is ap-
pended telegram from their New Or
leans house, from which we CLEAN that
the movement of cleaned rice at that
port is over 30 per cent ahead of last
year. While it notes that Creole or red
rice is abundant, it iniimates that there
is a widening demand for such and
hardening values
