The advances reflected in the fore
going are warranted by existing mar
ket conditions. In October 1,204,915
pockets Of clean rice were distributed
by the mills, which was the largest
distribution ever recorded for that
month. The movement of both rough
and clean rice has been freer this year
than at any time in the past. During
the three months ending November LIST
there was received by mills 2,876,455
bags of rough rice as compared with
2,124, 440 sacks during the correspond
ing msnths of 1915. For the same
period the distribution Of clean rice
amounted to 2,493,512 pockets as CON-
pared with 1851, 1856 pockets for the
corresponding period in 1915. July,
August and September imports show
ed a decrease of 100000 pockets, while
exports showed an increase of $4,000
pockets.
Efforts to "bear" the market have
been made by certain New Orleans
brokers and their western allies dur
ing the past few weeks in the hope of
acquiring quantities of rice to be sold
at big profit later on. The parties
responsible for this attempting raid
upon the producers wrote a number of
letters to jobbers, telling them that
there was a big carry-over, that the
1916 crop was abnormally large and
that the demand would not increase
because northern labor was fully en-
ployed at high wages and was not
looking for something to take the
place of the high-priced foOdstuffs it
had been accustomed to eating.
These etters have had no effect,
however. The crop is undoubtedly
larger and Of better quality than that
of 1915, but not to such an extent
that prices must drop in consequence.
Furthermore, the demand is growing
at a rate to belle the prediction that
the comparative cheapness of rice has
not attracted the attention of north
ern consumers. With everything that
goes to supply the table of the average
family selling at prices that in many
cases are from rs to 100 per cent
higher than twelve months ago, rice
is steadily gaining in popularity and
owing to its superior value as food,
will beable to hold its place in the es-
timation Of the public
The Southern Rice Growers asso-
citation feels that it was never in bet
ter position to demand and obtain a
fair price for the cereal, and if all
of the rice farmers will stand pat
and respect the dead line it has drawn
with a view of giving the market
legitimate and effective support, the
New Orleans and other "bear dope
sters" will reap nothing but a large
crop of bad luck.

BOXING COMMISSION
 ID BE INITIATED IN THE COMING ELECTION
Phoenix Business Men Will Sponsor Movement to hi tiate Measure to Handle Boxing Exhibitions in State.

That one of the initiated measures on the ballot this fall will provide for the creation of a boxing commis- sion, similar to those now in effect in Wisconsin, New York and other states of the country. is apparent from news which has reached the Warren Dis trict from the state capital.
 Phoenix business men and many sports from various cities in the state have interested themselves in the pos sibility of legalizing boxing in the state. According to the information reaching Bisbee the men behind the movement are all business people who desire that Legitimate boxing be held in the state under the regulations pro viteded for in some of the eastern and northern states of the country.
 Thepresent law, which makes it a felony to participate in, promote, off ciaate at, or to go out of the state with the intention of attending, box ing confess of any sor or characer, has been in effect for many years When Thomas E. Catron. one of the present senators from New Mexico, was a territorial representative in congress and promoters desired that prize fight be held at Las Cruces. or some other town close to the Tex as border line, the New Mexico rep resentative succeeded in securing the passag. through congress of the law.
 When statehood was granted this hecamethe law of Arizona. New Mex ico, however. discarded the statute and boxing contests are now feature in the adjoining state. without any regulation whatsoever.
