THE RICE MARKET.

Advices, from the South show good de-
mand for rice. Nothing striking in the
movement along the Atlantic coast; there
practical stand-off exists between buyer
and seller; the former refusing to operate
except as compelled for pressing wants.
AS the forward supply is scarce more
than equal to the requirements of the
territory naturally tributary thereto. there
is little doubt but that the remainder of
the crop will be successfully marketed
at present prices. In New Orleans, Good
Friday and other holy days were general
ly observed, but during the balance of the
week its demand and that of interior
points footed up considerable amount;
more than treble depending period last
year.
The demand Of the past week has con-
sisted largely in sales for shipment TO
Porto Rico. The total amount done on
this account within the past month would
seem to indicate that the island is rae
tor of the market which will have to be
reckoned with during the coming months.
While the lower grades heretofore used
by 1t, are growing scarce. il is not improb-
able when these are exhausted there will
be turning to the higher grades or the
market accommodate itself should the
forward domestic demand appear to be
too slow. This quickened movement for
export should do away with the notion
that there will be any collapse in prices.
because of the apparently large forward
supply. 1t would require only the slight
est modification of present prices to en-
able every pocket to be placed outside
ing of new crop.-Dan Talmage's Sons

OF the time the bull forces were Obliged

owing to the fact that the short interest

Vances. The opening was steady, with
prices one point lower to two points nigh

large amounts. This demand with fair
bull trading and some European buying

steady, took a leaning toward the bull
side and this strengthened the market
here. The close of the first hour marked
the turning point in the advance, as SELL

the alarm of shorts subsidized BY noon a
loss of several points was apparent.
Further large receipts South, dormant
spot markets and fairly good weather,
were in part responsible for the lose,
though a severe break in Liverpool was
really the dominating influence. The sud
den reaction abroad was attributed to the
failure of a prominent Alexandria cotton
house. During the afternoon the local
market was very quiet and aside from a
