THE PlCE SITUATION.
Prices Ruling GO0d.-But Slight Ins
crease Of Acreage.-FeWer Acres
and Better Rice.

The end of February finds the rice
farmers of Texas and Louisiana pre-
pairing for new crop and closing out
the balance of the old crop at prices,
which even the most optomistic did
not expect two months ago. The
Japan clean market has been steadily
advancing, having risen during the
last month nearly three-auarters of a
cent, and Rough Japan now rules
strong at figures on parity with
clean. Honduras rules high, both
in the clean and in the rough.
The past winter has been an unusual
one in that the weather has been such
as to enable the farmers to do large
amount of blowing. The harvest end
ed early last year and the weather af-
ter harvest was favorable for farm
work. Many farmers took advantage
of this and set to work plowlng at
once. The weather was favorable for
blowing nearly all winter, there being
only brief wet seasons and no pro-
longed drouths occurring. The result
has been that the beginning of March
finds fully seventy-five per cent of last
years acreage plowed and ready for
the disc and harrow.
At first blush this would indicate
the probability of larger acreage
in the regular rice territory this year,
but moments thought will show that
this is not necessarily the cease. If
there were enough horses and mules
in the rice belt this spring, it would
be possible to plant the largest acre
age eyer planted, but the planting will
be absolutely limited by the number
of work stock. If planting begins as
early as it did last season and con-
tinues with no more than the average
amount of interruption until the close
OF the planting season, it will be i'm
possible to plant much, II any more
acreage this year than was planted
last year. Bad weather may cut down
the acreage planted materially. In
no event is it likely that the acreage
in the rice belt can be Increased. A

But considerable new land will be
planted to rice this season. The AR.
kansas acreage will be increased and
around the edges of the rice belt con-

planted to cotton will be planted in
