THE RICE MARKET.

There has been quite an urgent de-
mand for rice during the past week
made more apparent by the lack of
supply occasioned by the embargo on
shipping at New Orleans. Latest ad-
vices note a partial settlement of the
trouble and delayed shipments to a
considerable extent are reported on the
way hither. AS a result of the scanty
offerings prices for spot goods are well
sustained.
Advices from the South note favor
ing weather for harvest on the Allan
tic coast. The hurricane of past few
days fortunately passed by the Caro-
lima fields without damage. The light
receipts and sales indicate that plant
ers are deVoting their entire energies
toward harvesting.
At New Orleans the market is very
strong. with active demand. Receipts
of rough are light less than usual for
the season; this is no doubt the result
of daily showers, which seriously IN
terfere with harvesting. In the inte-
rior, Southwest Louisiana, planters are
preparing for harvest little has been
taken off AS yet. but indications point
towards a superior quality.
In Texas planters are improving nne
weather opportunities for harvesting,
and little rough has reached the mills
The crop is mainly of Honduras style,
il being estimated that only about ~
per cent of the crop is of the Japan
sort. While the latter is quite faVor-
ite of the trade, and is large pro

IN one section of Texas and continued
cold weather was indicated for the
northern portions of the belt. The
weather also showed heavy precipi-
tatlons again in some sections of the

was characterized on the floor as
downright bad. Prices which in the
early morning had reached a level

sixth of last years receipts and the

hind last year as to attract attention.
Deterioration reports are still coming
in every hour and the belief is that
most of them are so well founded as
to preclude expectation of yield of
such magnitude as to prevent prices
advancing. An enormous short inter-

try, but nervousness is already being
shown because of the cool Gather
and it would require little to bring
about a great stampede among buy

a small failure, but later on they rail-

Futures opened with prices 8 to 9

ures, caused by unfavorable Liverpool
cables. The market was unsettled and
the fluctuations wide and rapid. Too
much rain and approaching cold wealth

market. In the trading September sold

situation, concerning which further
contradictory reports came to hand,
was of secondary Importance compared
with the impression conveyed by the
further heaviness of Steel common,
which established new low record Of
1917.
There was little pressure against
Steel preferred and the per cent.
bonds were steady compared with the
previous davis marked weakness.
Another feature of the industrial
situation, which was not without in
fiuence, following hard upon the ear
ly weeks developments in United
States Realty, was the showing made
by the Standard Rope and Irvine
Company and the late break in Ten
nessee Coal.
Persistent selling of Americans by
London and the suspension of prom
inent Liverpool cotton house helped to
produce an irregular opening. Buying
of standard railway shares by brokers
commonly supposed to represent
strong interests, together with heavy
covering turned the course of the mar
ket upward before noon- Atchison was
taken in large amounts by Western
commission house, and some OF the
Pacific stocks advanced under buying
by brokers that have been prominent
in these issues recently. Practically
all of the mornings excitement was
wiped out later when trading became
dull and narrow and prices once more
sagged In the last hour the weak
ness of the industrial group became
more acute. Tennessee Coal selling off
4 points, and Steel common touching
the low figure of the day. The market
closed steady. II developed after the
close of the market that much of the
selling of Tennessee Coal came from a
Philadelphia house and was said to
be based on adverse trade reports. A
feature of the day was sale of 100
shares of United States Shipbuilding at
