THE RICE MARKET.

Locally, the demand OF the week
was of narrow guage proportions,
scarce one-half that of the prece-
ding one. No accounting for the
falling away as transportation III
many directions is cheapening by
the opening of water routes; whole
sale grocers simply say 'call has
slackened and therefore no need
for any new supplies" For some
weeks past, each days dealings
made respectable show of activity,
occasionally rolling up large to-
tai and the sudden halt is perplex-
ing. The pessimistic see dire re-
suits but the optimistic look for
ward hopefully and expectantly to
a speedy renewal of activity. Every
competitive advantage hitherto held
and which has created such an I'M
usual demand during present sea-
son, still remains and must main
tain for several months to come.
Advices from the South note con-
tinuation of former inquiry; vol
ume up to the average required to
take ont the crop within the pres
cribed period, i. e. before new crop
can come forward in any liberal
supply. In New Orleans and
throughout the Southwest, prices
are fairly firm. The strength of
the situation is bit impaired by
needs of many smaller holders,
who, while they might be willing,
are not able to wait until the trade
shall call for their goods. Prepar-
ton for planting aud prosecution
of the new crop, or again, the Ell
largement and repairs Of milling
plants, all call for present and not
prospective dollars. Then again,
there are the conservative or timid
: who fear the ravages incident tt
the compulsory action of weevi
, and worm. The bulk of crop is IL
the hands of a few strong holders
who, as previously noted, are act
ing in apparent concert and refus
, ing to sell at other than full recon
5 prices. Export demand continues
at fair pace, steamer of past weel

chases are already being made

YET THE CONTEST IS NOT ENDED.

The tremendous sacrifices made
in blood and treasure by the empire
in its effort to subjugate a pair of
tiny republics is strikingly pre-
sented by the Philadelphia Ledger,
when it points out, "When the
first call for money and men was
made in England with which to
prosecute the Boer war in 1899,
the snm Of $780, 900 was asked
for, and it was believed by the
blind jingoes that the Dutch re-
public could be extinguished in
four months by an army of $4,000
men. The last demand for money
in the past year was for the sum
of 1918, 743, 900, and parliament
has appropriated, altogether $7O4,-
94S, 800 for the conquest of the
Beers. BY the end of the present
month, which is the end of the
British fiscal year the total cost Of
the war will reach at least $844,-
600, 900. The war is in its fourth
year, and, instead of AZ 900 men,
the British force in South Africa
at the last report numbered 237,-
600 men. The average during &C.
tive operations has been in the
neighborhood Of 200, 900, and the
British have lost by death or per-
manent disability over %, 900 men,
while the total of British casual
ties, including the surviving
wounded, numbers 100, 7Ol men
and 5, 240 officers. This is tre-
mendous sacrifice to make in blood
and treasure, aud the contest is
is not ended" The Ledger might
have added that besides all this
treasure, the empire has had the
practical and encourage ment of
the greatest republic on earth
and even yet "the contest is not
ended"

CANNED TOMATOES help

There are scenes of unusual activity

be barer than ever before of tomatoes

there is a limited supply OF the goods,
but packers are practically holding on

body good. The benefit being derived
from the scarcity of canned tomatoes
is accruing to the packers, the persons
in possession. Many of them have old
stocks of canned pineapples and other
fruits, which threatened for some time

arc now getting rid of that stock and
getting their money back, which, no
