THE RICE MARKET.
A Further Increase in the Demand Is
Noted.

New York November Further decrease
is to be noticed In the demand At this point,
principally domestic. although not a little
is being done in certain OF the foreign
grades such as Japan and Patna. Whether
real or fanced many of the trade claim
superiority for the "foregn-milled Japan"
and give II their preference at fraction high
er cost. Receipts at the moment are largely
in excess OF immediate requirements, but
holders show no anxiety claiming that the
future market prices will more than bear
out any added cost for storage and other
expenses. There is a renewal OF inquiry from
porto Rico and some fair-szed shipments
have recently gone in that direction. Last
season it was commonly remarked in regard
to this demand that any old thing will
do, but buyers are now quite insstent as to
dualily-more particularly as to grain.
