About $500 bags of rice was sold in New Orleans today, Carolina selling at from $500 to $1o.o0 per barrel and Honduras at from SS.50 to $9.s5, the average price on good standard Carolina in New Orleans today was about $925 and on Honduras S9.00. Riees sold oil the Board of Trade at New Orleans are sold i. 0. b. New Orleans. which means that the freight and all incidntal hand ling charges must be born by planter. ling chargs must b born by planr. This reduces the net price to the planter an average of more than fifty cents barrel, so that the average prices of S9 for Honduras in New Orleans today is equivalent to only about SS.50 in the country The prices received by the As sociation in the country today werer on d basis of more than Sl.50 per barrel in excess of the net New Orleans prices More rice was sold through tn New Iberia, La, office of the Association today than was sold on the New Orleans Board of trade.

 due importance is attached to New Or.
 leans quotations on rice by the trade
 generally for the reason that New Or.
 leans was at one time big factor in the rough rice market. Practically all of the rice sold on the Board Of Trade in
 New Orleans is consigned by Mississippi River planters to different commission merchants and receivers iii New Orleans who sell this rice for the account of their clients. The lack of cooperation among the sellers of rice in New Orleans makes it extremely easy for the buyers to de press the market. The productio of rice i'll the United States has doubled in the past ten years. while the amount of rice sold on the New Orleans Board of Trade is continually decreasing. Uuless more consistent methods are adopted in the marketing of rice in New Orleans. it is my opinion that the Board Of Trade
 will soon cease to be market place for rough rice for the greatly increased cost of production makes it imperative
