THE RICE MARKET.

A steady movement of rice is reported
in all primary points; the volume disap-
pointing, far short of expectations. Along
the Atlantic Coast sales were slightly
short of previous week, not up to mill
ing output, hence cleaned stocks continue
to accumulate Factors evince less of the
naughty spirit, but concessions rendered
are "picayune," only showing the temper
and fail to bring about the desired result
Buyers as a class are indifferent, "eoy and
hard to please having gotten the inch
want the ell" The stand-on is likely to
continue until an thrush of trade shah
force operations whether or no. Mate
rial rebates appear to be out of question
as the unso.d portion of crop is in the
hands of strong holders who know it's
value and knowing, dare maintain.
At New Orleans and interior points of
the Southwest the chief movement as
heretofore, is in the ordinary to fair
styles. During the week higher grades
fractionally advanced; medium, Japan and
screenings stationary but strong at for
mer figures. Offerings of the last two
have been augmented by the bringing out
of old stock formerly held above the mar
ket. Values on such being modified, gave
rise to report that prices had eased
an b0Ac, whereas they were neither
more nor less than the current figures at
which business was accomplished during
all of the past month.
Gables and correspondence from abroad
note strong feeling particularly on Patna
sorts. Arrivals and afioat are only a
trifie more than 80 per cent. of last year
equal date. Market for cargoes is steady,
with more inquiry for spot and forward
clean. Talmage, New Orleans, telegraphs

At 9:45 o'clock Attorney Haller, for
the defense began the ross-examlnat ton
OF young Cudahy.
The boy admitted that he had gone
over the case with General Corwin with
reference as to what his testimony
would be. He again detailed the route
traversed as nearly as he could tell. He
admitted that the only direct view he
had of the dark mans face was when
he first approached him, and admitted
that ait that time he was pretty badly
scared The boy said he could not have
identified Callahan from simply seeing
him. He said the police told him the.
had man there and wanted to see if
h. could identify the prisoner as the
dark man. He admitted that he identi-
fed Callahan principally by his voice.
and said that he would not be able t :
identify him by his appearance alone.
In answer to direct question, the boy
said he was as certain of the identity
of Callahan as he was of the identity Of
his father or mother. He thought il
hardly possible for there ITO be another
voice like Callahan's. He said Callahan
had sort of brogue. and gave a pc
cular turn to some words and sort OF
talked through his teeth.
