THE RlCB MARKET.

Under good demand market rules
steady. Offerings shows fair as
sortment but in absence Of any
thing like depressing features, hold
ers are more disposed to make
special exhibits on request, than to
press general lines for sale. Re-
ceipts from primary markets are of
but little moment, so that the
gradual depletion of reserve stocks
at this point, has strengthening
fleet on what remains on hand.
Advices from the South show no
new features. On the Atlantic
Coast cleaned rice is offered spar
ugly, and quickly absorbed. Plau-
ters are somewhat discouraged over
the prospects for the coming crop.
High water in some sections pre-
vented seeding and cold weather
in others, retarded the growth {;
stands being So poor that lands
were ploughed aud reseeded. Ont
look does not promise a yield equal
to last year.
At New Orleans, offerings are
light; out-turn of mills being fresh
mllled, finds ready buyers at ad-
vanced figures. The amount is
small compared with full tide crop
receipts, but being sold promptly,
nothing is carried over from one
week to another. This gives a
strong tone to the market. In the
interior Southwest Louisiana and
Texas as before noted, the principal
interest is centered in the growing
crop which is giving fine promise,
although seeding was late and har-
vest may not be expected as early
as last year

OLD WOMAN HIDES
Her IDENTITY
Arrested for Vagrancy She
Defies Court to Find Out
Who She Is.

one of the most mysterious cases
called to the attention of the st. Paul
police in many months is that of Mrs.
Stellar" woman past seventy years
Of age, who was in police court yes
terday, charged with Vagrancy. She
was arrested by. Officer Nightingale in
the vicinity of Sixth and Rosabel
streets at o'clock yesterday morning
When picked up by the officer the
woman was suffering from cold and
hunger and said she had no money.
The woman has been in police court
several times during the past few
months, but upon every occasion she
refuses absolutely to throw the least
light upon her identity. She frankly
acknowledges that the name given by
her is an assumed one, and defes the
officers and court to learn who she Is,
or where she belongs.
The police say the woman has $500
in one of the st. Paul banks, which She
refuses to use in her own behalf, and
her queer actions lead the officers to
believe her to be demented.
When brought into court yesterday
the woman was the picture of poverty,
but when questioned she refused to
CT oil dill EoO Lar DIS the ponce are
able to learn the woman has no home.
She has always been found wandering
about the streets and nothing is known
of her past life. When questioned by
Judge Hine, before whom she was ar
raigned yesterday, the woman defed
the court to learn her identity.
you've got me-" said the woman,
''and you can find out who 1 am the
best way you can. I'll never tell you"
Judge Hine placed the woman in
charge of the board of control, which
will thoroughly investigate her case,
and the report that she has money In
the bank. She was placed in the cOun-
ty Jail yesterday and will be kept there
pending an investigation. The board
of control will probably have her ex-
amined in probate court as to her SAN
ity. ..-
