gives promise of further enlargement OF
business. Foreign once more looms UP in
prominence and commands the larger snare
OF patronage; this due to the higher prices
that are being demanded for similar grades
in domestic. Advices from the South note
steady movement and unmistakable signs
OF shortened supply. Receipts at all mill
ing centers are light; many of the mills
have suspended operations; assortments
are narrowing and tho cream" or best
selections of every grade il to 3-Sc adj
vance. it might be remarked In regard to
the home crop that the end thereof Is Ill
sight. Some have entertained the idea that
because of there being considerable amount
of crop in Southwest Louisiana there was
perforce, liberal forward supply Recent
Investigation, however, discloscs that the
amount of sound rice is limited; less than
at equal date last year. OF that which has
not found its way to market some fair per
cent is safely housed. but the bulk of that
in. the field is bad color staclooburnt, heat
ing and sprouting. In the higher grades
Carolina planters practically have mo-
nopoly, and as result are exacting full
values. Gables and correspondence from
abroad note large business doing at higher
prices. The Improvement is general. or in
other words all grades have shared in the
advance to about equal degree. The lead
ers at the moment are Patna and Siam, on
account of their extreme scarcity, both in
actual and prospective supply.
Talmage, New Orleans, telegraphs Louis
lana crop movement TO date: Receipts,
rough, 62T,SiO sacks last year Inclusive
of amount carried over), 45I, 500 sacks.
Sales, cleaned (estimated), 150,345 barrels;
last year 77.100 barrels. Under light re-
ceipts assortments are narrowing. Fair to
good grades advanced full 14c. Whole
market strong, with upward tendency.
Talmagc, Charleston, telegraphs Carolina
crop movement to date: Receipts, cleaned,
80, 200 barrels Sales, 260I5 barrels. Market
scarcely so active. Prices firm, as the
Carolinas control practically all of the
good TO prime grades in domestic, and
supply is limited.
