moved. The prices showed an advancing
tendency. The supply coming forward con
tinues light, but slight improvement has
been shown in the last few days in the re.
ceipts. Clean rice was active and strong at
the end of the week, with all offerings alb.

The export demand for the lower grades
OF rice continues heavy, while the domestic
trade is brisk at firm prices, The gtol N.
snip Arcadia sailed for Porto RlCan ports
Friday with n cargo OF low grade or "red"
rice. and the steamer Orion OF the new line
Will sail on January /. Quite n lot OF rice
went out to Central American ports on the

There is stil considerable complaint
among rice men about the scarcity Of cars.
