R CE MARKET
SHOWS IMPROVEMENT
All Grades Moving at Advanced
Figures.

A better feeling throughout the rice
belt on account of the favorable outlook
is reflected in improved prices on all
grades of rough rice. The board Of d.
rectorS of the Southern Rice Growers
Association has ordered the minimum
values on Blue Rose increased to the
following, per barrel of 162 pounds:

No. l Blue Rose. $3.50
No. Blue Rose. Observation-Disclosures $40
No. Blue Rose. .. ----.------ 3.25
No. 4 Blue Rose. $40
These prices are based on cup
weight of a pounds, and are effective
November /.
This increase is justified by the light
yields of Blue Rose over the coast
country. The falling off in the eStimat.
ed probation of Blue Rose is due to
the damage of the August storm. The
true story of the yields is told only by
results at the threShing machines, and
is decidedly lower than the estimates of
the distinguished gentlemen who make
crop estimates from Pullman car win.
doWS and the Hobbies of city hotels.
The planter is justly entitled to his
fair share of what the consumer ulti-
mately pays for the milled rice. Blue
Rose is sold the country over as a head
rice at three pounds for quarter, and
the efforts of certain millerS to bear
the clean to a point below 81 cents a
pound is indicative of desire on their
part to break the market and confuse
the trade. Some millers have contract
ed future deliveries at prices lower
than existing conditions warranted,
and if we have met their idea rough
rice (Blue RoSe) would have been
quickly forced to a So level.
1t has been clean fight and you have
won. Good Blue Rose is selling at 4 3.4
cents a pound and can easil be main.
tanned OF cents. The future of the
market is in your hands and if you will
follow the advice of your association
this crop will be marketed at a higher
level of prices, and in addition stable
price will be maintained on the clean
product.
The yields of Japan rice have also
proven a disappointment and this fact
coupled with the very small acreage of
this variety is responsible for the light
sackage of Japan. Number l Japans

grades little more.

COnnell Disputes
Federal Figures on
Omaha Death Rate

The city health Commissioner takes ex.
cepuons 70 the government figures which
show that the death rate In Omaha last
year was 1873 per thousand Of population.
This official explains that the federal
figures included the deaths OF Dundee.
Florence. Benson and OF other locations
near Omaha but just outside the limits.
DR.. r. w. Cornell states that the ac-
tuai death rate In Omaha last year was
ia per thousand OF population. The
health commissioner Is rather Jealous Of
omaha's and Nebraska's vital statlaticr.
for he contends that this state Is one Of
the healthiest parts of the world, ana
ne stands ready TO defend that statement
with facts and Figures.
While on this subject the health conn
missioner takes note that last month
there were only seven deaths Of Infants
under year OF age in Omaha. as AGAINST
eighteen deaths during January last wear.
The commissioner makes bold to stats
that no city in this country can show =
better record Of infant mortality. based
ON the number OF births.
