he heard:
" 'Yassir, boss, Yasslr, vo'

JAIN ON THE RICE CROP.

Beaumont, Texas, December 10
Mr.. Gustav A. jain, the wealthy
rice and tea man of New York city,
is still sojourning in Beaumont,
attending to his extensive business
interests here. Mr.. jain says that
he has prepared independent figures
and statistics concerning the Texas
and Louisiana rice crop, and
especially the Jefferson county rice
crop, upon the completion of which
he will give it to The Post for
publication.
Mr.. jain has investigated enough
however, to convince him that the
present rice crop will be the banner
one for Texas. 81 believe" he
said, "that the Texas and Louisiana
crops will aggregate not less than
100000 sacks. For Jefferson coun-
ty, [ can not positively make an
estimate, but the crop will not b
less than 100000 bags and likely
much larger. The yield, the crops
and the price are all eminently
satisfactory and the result will be
much larger acreage for next year.
While can not speak with authori-
ty on the subject, | am morally
certain that all the large canal
companies will greatly extend their
canals and put in bigger acreages.
The yield is the best ever known
this year, in no case falling below
ten sacks, and in some cases averag-
ing fifteen"
Mr.. jain is the largest stock
holder in the big Atlantic mill
here. The company has now over
$4,000 bags in storage. Its ware
houses are full and additional
storage capacity will have to be
provided. The Beaumont rice mills
have something like $4,000 sacks
on hand. while the movement con-
tinues lively.
