Some Idea of the importance of Crow
Y as rice market may be gathered
Om the fact that the receipts ia New
'leans to January 10Th, were $685. $40
cks while those of Crowley for the
me period were .226 sacks, nearly
e- half rs large as those OF the great
" OF New Orleans. And IN this con-
ctIOn it may be well to observe that
g prevailing good prices for rough
e are due TO the fact that Crowley has
70 large, fine rice mills owned By home
oDle and not in the UBIQUITOUS rice
Hers combine, which concern has al
iys heretofore controlled the market
d generally Dut down prices to the
vest notch, Ii rice Is selling for a
r price to-day the farmers can thank
Z Crowley mills for FIX.
