THE RICE MARKET,

The Houston rice market was very active
yesterday and the receipts were above the
average, indicating a tendency upon the
part Of the producers to rush the product
into the market befoce the rain-affected
crop begins to come in. Reports from sew
eral sections have already been received
showing that much OF the crop has been
very badly damaged and some mills have
already received some OF the injured rice
which Is pronounced very bad. How far
this injury will extend can not be stated
at present, but its full effect will not be
felt for about ten days yet Prices are

the highest weekly average in nine
years. or since May 1898. Average price

Average cost price of beef cattle at
Chicago for the week $500, against
S6.55 the previous week and $3.50 the
corresponding week a year ago.
Combined receipts or hogs at eleven
markets for 1902 to date, 10,530,000.

with a week ago and 100000 increase
compared with a year ago. Receipts for
the past week. $4,000. showing $4,000
increase compared with the previous
week and 5000 decrease compared with
the corresponding week year ago.
About $4,000 cattle We're received dur
ing the week, there being only one week
during the past three years when the
total was smaller. The transfers strike
at the stockyards curtailed receipts. A
year ago for the corresponding week
61,106 arrived, being the largest weeks
receipts during the first seven months
of 1901. With so small a run the past
week values naturally ruled higher,
reaching the high point of the year.
