THE RICE SITUATION,


New York, Jan. 6.-"The year just
closed was marked by two prom
inent events: first, the famine in
| India; second an advanced rate of duty
under the new tariff Because of the for
mer 500 900 tons of rice were diverted from
| ordinary commercial channels, but pur-
| chases so prudently managed that they
| failed of any effect upon the market other
than any equally large demand, simply

| The season progressed being scarce more
| than 5 per cent. AS to the second, its en-
actment as the (domestic) old crop was
| closing and the imported sorts the chief
| supply, caused an almost immediate cor
responding advance, which has since been
practically maintained by so much adj
vantage in the home product; the
net result shown in detail in the appended
average of prices for the year. With the
exception of the altered plane. because of
the raise in duties, the market has
throughout shown remarkable steadiness;
the demand vigorous and constantly keen
ing pace with supply.
Ordinarily with the incoming of the
new domestic crop there is a falling away
in prices, no matter whether such are on
a parity or even below importing cost OF
equal grade, or the supply insufficient 10

ties may have been light, the aggregate
has been large, thereby causing the crop
to move off at an encouraging and stinu
lating rate. But for the interruption OF
the fever, practically all of the crop of
the southwest would have been placed by
this time; it is stated that over one-haIf
has already been marketed and the re-
sidue will be needed to meet the known
wants of local and contiguous territory.
The new year opens with marked as
tivity at this point consequent upon a
banking up of orders in domestic and for

month The position at the south is also
strong, and unless the anticipated demand
