Yesterdays rice market was like tine other
sessions Of the week, The clean product
continued 20 move forward and no more
rough was added TO the stock on hand. The
demand Is in all respects satisfactory TO
the trade and the Houston mill can place
Its product for some time TO come without

only little more than month is to
elapse before sowing win begin and the
