THE RICE MARKET.

A fair demand prevails for this
cereal. Requirements, as usualat this
season, are for immediate shipment
although the absence of certain
qualities from present offerings,
has allowed some stable transac-
tons "to arrive" Fancy styles
are in scant supply. Medium and
lower grades are in better stock,
but not over abundant; the latter
having been in quite active demand,
prices are firmer.
Reports from the South note
quiet market on the Atlantic Coast.
At New Orleans, a steady demand
is in progress. The first new crop
reported as received last week,
turned out disappointment as to
quality, and daily rains have in
terferred with the harvest and pre-
vented further receipts. In the in
terior-Southwest Louisiana and
Texas-crop conditions are reported
as favorable.
Cables and correspondence from
abroad note market very quiet.
Demand feeble and assortment
poor.

RICE CROP.

Demand for the week has been fully
up to expectations. More interest has
been displayed in offerings, and fresh
milled stock has found ready buyers.
Stocks at this point are not over
abundant and prices are firm at current
rates. Samples of new crop have ap-
peared and being very handsome
quality are held quite an item above
similar grades of old crop. The
quantity is limited, only enough for
a taste but, as promise Of the future,
most encouraging. Quite little bus
mess has been done in Japan sorts,
which are going into consumption at
abnormally low prices.
Advices from the South note slow
conditions on the Atlnatic Coast. At
New Orleans there is marked activity.
The summer demand has broken all
former records, being far away ahead
any previous year. The past week
ushered in the New Crop 1901, under
most favorable auspices. Consider
able old crop was carried over, mainly
however, of low grade good enough
for the black and tam of the pro-
vinces, but not up to the trade require
ments of the United States. Opening
prices for new crop are remarkable
and under active conditions firm figures
are likely to prevail for weeks to come.
Current values are said to closely APP
proximate producing cost and planters
who are well-heeled financially, an
nounce determination to hold back
their crops, unless better prices can
be secured.
In the interior Southwest Louisiana
md Texas market is quiet. Consider
lble rice is being carried over into the
New Crop and attention Of millers and

STONEWALLS LOSE.

The Stonewalls went over to New
Iberia last Sunday, on the excursion
and had game with New Iberia
losing by a score of 4 to 5. The
game was a very exciting one and
up to the ninth inning the score
was 4 to 4 with prospects for an
extra inning game. A wild throw
it is said let in the run that gave
New Iberia the game. In justice
to the Stonewalls it can be said
that they did not 60 into the game
in their usual fighting shape. Cir
cumstances over which the boys
had no control caused material
change in the line up of the team.
They put up fine game neverthe-
less, and came near winning. The
Houma boys say that they were
given a hearty welcome by New
Iberias and that the decisions of the
umpire were fair. The diamond
was very wet and slippery on &C.
count of the rain that day, and this
probably prevented even better
game. Our boys believe that when
they are in better trim they can de-
feat New Iberia and are anxious
for another game with that team.

SHOOTING OF CAPT. ROBERTS.

Our dispatches, state that a most
deplorable shooting occurred in Nor
gan City, last Monday in which Capt
Walter Roberts, formerly q resident
here was badly wounded by 40 cali
bre pistol ball entering his neck and
passing out at the base of the brain, a
very painful if not fatal wound. The
shooting was done by Duputy Sheriff
Sanders, who claimed he acted in self
defense. We trust the affair will be
impartially Investigated and justice
administered. The practice Of "pis-
toll toting'' should be stopped as it is
pernicious and dangerous even in an
officer and should only be justified by
the most exigent circumstances. Capt,
Roberts was taken to the hospital at
New Orleans where he is suffering the
most excrutiating pain, which has
temporarily crazed him. The unfort-
innate affair is deplorable, reprehensi-
able and should not have happened.

is no hope tonight Of any immediate

that they have one 81 the hardest prob

points were rushed 10 Chicago and
taken to the stockyards to fill the

announced by the packers that 7 900
new men were now installed in the
different plants at the stockyards.
With these men and with the arrivals
that are exps cted each day, the packers
expect TO get their affairs IN such shape
that the strikers will be compelled to
seek truce in the hostilities and seek
peaceable settlement at the dictation
Of the Employers.
Although the receipte OF livestock

ceipts on corresponding days under

Chefoo, Aug. 1.--Refugees who have
Just arrived from Port Arthur confirm
previous reports that general assault
has been begun by the Japanese on that
fortress, and they declare that the Rus
SLAMS are sanguine that the Japanese
could not succeed In capturing the
place, even though they had twice as

The Russians, according to the refu-
gees stories, are still hoping for succor
from General Kuropatkin. They are
unwilling to believe the reports OF bis
defeat at Ia Tche Kiao. The refugees
further confirm the reports that the
Russian feet is In state OF repair, but
they say that the feet is unwilling to
attack that Of Admiral Togo, on ac-
count OF the mines which the Japanese
place nightly at the entrance to the
harbor.
II was believed at Port Arthur that

would take the risk ofgoing out.

APOLOGY AND DAMAGES.
Basis of British Settlement Ot
Knight Commanders Loss.

London, July 2S.-The British gov
ernment is taking energetic action rela-
tive to the sinking of the British steam
eI knight Commander by the Vladivo-
stok squadron. All information re-
ceived by the government tends to es-
tablish in the official mind the belief
that an outrage has been committed
for which no excuse exists in intelna-
tional law.
The demands which will be made on
the Russian government will include
co npensation to the owners OF the ship
and to the owners of the goods ON
board the knight Commander, an
apology for the action of the Russian
cruisers and an agreement that in
structions shall be given which will
prevent repetition Of such action.
British shipowners are up in arms
over the danger which shipping is now
running and are bombarding the gov
eminent with representations looking
to the thorough protection of their in
terests.

They decided to withdraw from Ia

Zarabourieff, commanding the Fourth

step in consequence Of the reports OF
scouts that the japanese were turning

The japanese forces are believed to
include the whole Of the armies OF
Generals 0ku and Nodzu. More than
eight divisions Of Japanese are engaged.
The rear guard action between Datch-

General Kuropatkin reports that the
Japanese column in the vicinity oi

two divisions strong, is marching along
the valley Of the Taitse, with the obvi-
GUS aim of cutting the railroad above

The evacuation of Ia Tche Kiao was
prepared for long ago by the Russians,
as military experts have repeatedly in
dicated. The retirement is not regard
ed as materially altering the situation.
