MOVEMENT OF THE DAY
WAS BARELY MODERATE.
Yesterday Ended an Active Week Local
ly--Mill Is Well Supplied with Or
ders and Stocks Of Rough.

Yesterday ended an active week in the
rice market The prices stood the same
as at the beginning but a very large
quantity of both rough and clean has
changed hands through this center Of trade.
New York houses have been prominent pur-
chasers from the local dealers and St.
Paul buyers have also figured In the
trade. The Houston mill is well supplied
with orders and can further place their
product when their capacity to ill the or.
ders will permit. The season for rough
receipts will soon be nearing It's close, but
the market is well stocked with supplies,
since new warehouse room is available.
There ia already sufficient stock on hand
to run the mill several months beyond the
time when arrivals are suspended The
demand remained strong,
Following were the ruling prices: -
