New York. April l2- Badstreets to- morrow will say:
 Trade and industrial developments are largely favorable sand conservative op- 3n4sm predomnatee. Jobbine trade reports include advices Of quieting ff spring demand at large eastern centers. with attention turning to late summer and fall trade, but of an improvement near points of final distributions eN- cept. as in the lower Mississippi Valley where high water holds back agrieul- tural oporations and rebrds sales to country merchants. Easter trade was irregular but fair on the whole and gem orally better than last year. In indus trial lines features are the continued likeness of the eountry's coal miner. pending possible settlements now under negotiation, the quietng down of the textile labor situation as advances art offered and accepted. and the prospects or an expenditure for building for th' first quarter not much behind last year but with majority of cities stitl re porting decreases however.
 In the iron and steel trades there i higher level of prices ruling. with th growth of feeling that this is, to a cer tain extent. curtailing some demand is also felt that higher prices for cotto' goods and the backwaTdness of deliverie may have some effect on future orders those for summer and fall which ar engaging iobbers attention, now that th regular spring demand has measurabl | quieted. ,a,"

NEW1NDUSTRY IN THE SOUTH
Agricultural Department poIno Much
Work to Encourage Farmers In
Culture Of Rice.

The agricultural department has
done. and Is still doing, a vast amount
OF work to benefit the farmers. but
perhaps In no branch Of farming has
this beer more fully shown than in
the culture OF rice. A comparattvelv
few years ago practically all oY our
home crop of rice was grown on tn.
Atlantic coast; the methods of hand.
ling 1t were more or less primitive. the
production small. and the country was
a large importer OF rice. Twenty or
twenty-five years ago lands of louis.
lana n X and others of tho
southern states were pointed ont q.
suitable for successful rice culture.
They we're used largely as cattle
ranges and We're selling at from one IN
two dollars per acre. With the intro
ducton and successful production OF
rice, the cost of land rapidly increased
n the farmers Of this region saw the
need for improved methods of handling
this crop. Many were pioneers from
the great wheat-growing states-lowa
Kansas. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois
and Indiana. They brought south witt
them the implements they had used II
growing w~heat-the gang pillow, drill
self-binder, header and other moderr
implements-and methods and idea,
never before applied to rice culture
making 1t possible to produce a mucl
larger quantity Of rice per man tina,
ever was before.
A question arose as to the competl
tion OF Oriental countries in the pre-
duction of rice, and one of the depart
ment's most capable men demonstrat
ed that n American, with moder
equipment, can produce as much rio
as three hundred Orientals.
