THE RICE MARKET.
The week has been one of good ac-
tivity in all styles, both domestic and
foreign. Receipts of new crop continue
to enlarge and the assortment enrr
braces an exceptional variety, ranging
in price from 2%t to &c; differing shades
in the matter of grain and color obtain
able at every n within the the suggested
limits. Adyices from the South note
continuation of former features; liberal
receipts but not oversupply as the daily
demand is large, orders at times carried
over to succeeding days for fulillment.
The readiness with which the crop has
been placed thus far has begotten conf
dence on the part of planter as well
as purchaser and the immediate out
look indicates maintenance of present
prices. Several small parcels of Caro-
lima arrived during the week but no
large receipts are expected before the
close of the month. Planters are put
ting forth every energy to get their crops
out of harms way, some of them hold
ing in lively remembrance the heavy
wind and rain storms which destroyed
much of the crop the last two years.
Gables and correspondence from abroad
note good enquiry and firm markets.

COTTON.
ANcA Va n, bJtPb. Its--bopetuidlloH III
cotton futures was not active today.
The market opened steady in tone with
some options ! point lower and others
points higher. On light covering and
new buying there was rise OF point
or so soon after the call, but later in
the forenoon the market reacted under
realizing and few foreign selling or
ders. Then followed an upward move
ment on renewed demand from the short
side after which variations were con
fined ito a mere point or two trading
unusually slow and almost entirely for
the account of room operators. English
cables were regarded as favorable in
the main considering the bearish tenor
or NeilPs latest crop statement. From
the crop region information pointed to
continued deterioration as the result of
unbroken drought. In spot markets
frmer feeling prevailed with prices
in many instances Lice TO &c higher
on urgent demand from foreign spin
ners as well as good inquiry from home
points of consumption. Receipts were
large, though hardly more so than cal
culated upon. Near the close realizing
set in leading to hammering by lead
ing bears, under which prices broke sew
eral points. The market was finally
easy with September six points higher
and other months to points lower.
