The Rice Market.

Dan Talmages Sons Co. say of rice:
There is a sharp demand in all styles,
domestic and foreign. The latter has come
into renewed prominence by reason of a
temporarily shortened supply in the home
sorts and shipments are being made in
nearly every direction, even to Southern
points just lover the fence from the rice
fields. The past week brought bed news
from Louisiana; yellow fever in New Or
Jeans and a terrific rain and wind storm
in Arcadia, St Landry and Vermillion
parishes, which washed away much of the
crop cut and lying on stubble; whipping
out or beating down that which was stand
ing. The direct and resultant loss has been
variously estimated from 100000 to 100000
sacks, but II is hoped with the fine wealth
er Immediately following the storm and
now prevailing, that more of the crop will
be saved than at first anticipated. For The
moment Louisiana planters are hesitating
to ship into New Orleans and as up to last
week, receipts had been taken as fast as
they could be milled there is but limited
