THE RICE MARKET

Reported by Dan Talmagess Sons Co.:
NEW YORK, Dec. 24-The movement
for the week has been fairly up to aver
call for increased volume of rice. The
near approach of stock taking period also
has its influence Offerings are very at
tractive. both as to quality and price.
This is especially true of the Japan sorts,
as the present season stands alone in
its exhibition of exceedingly low values.
The low prices have opened the door OF
new markets and large sales have been
made on such account. An outside inter-
est has also developed, and attractive
parcels have been taken and laid aside on
speculation-very much on the principle
that if gold dollars were selling at 30
cents it would be tolerably safe prop
osition for. a conservative investment
Values seem to have touched bottom, as
bids for unusually large amounts have
been turned down and fractional advance
obtained.

QUEER HIDING PLACES.
Paris Woman Saved Her Hoard from Burglars by concealing It
 in g Lemon.

All devices of women to save their money from thieves are not as success full as was that of a Paris business wom- an. Her apartments were recently wis., tied during her absence by a couple of enterprising burglars, who had good req son to believe there was rich booty there. In spite, however, of the most earnest search they were unable to find anything of value and took themselves off disappointedly. Nevertheless, sum of some 10000 francs was lying in the room they had explored, and that in a most prominent position. Mme Reutz had, in fact, devised an ingenious hiding place by scooping out the inside of g lemon, putting her bank notes inside, and then leaving 1t on plate on side table, This transpired in the course of the complaint laid by her at the local police station. One would like to have seen the burglars faces when they read the papers next day.

GIRLS BECOME "FLoATERs. ]"
Lack of Work Makes Tramp stenog- raphers of Many in Search
 of Employment.

Tn her failure to get steady work, the girl who comes to New York is apt to become a lonely, homeless thing of mo continuing city" known and disrespect- ed by business men under the title of "a fieater," says the Era Magazine. A '.foater" is a girl tramp stenographer, who lives from hand to mouth and town to town, who gets started rolling round and does not want any moss, will not stay in any position long, simply mak- ing enough.in in each place to get on to the next. It Is an ugly form of wander lust The f1oaters are held unreliable and firms have become weary of engag- ing them. The number of fioaters is sadly on the increase. Last month the agency of New York company in Los Angeles reported 50 in that city and throughout the south came word of con- tinued increase in the number of these restless, nestless birds, pathetically fol- lowing the summer.
