The Crowley Signal says: ''The
daily receipts of rough rice at the
mills aud warehonse have fallen off
greatly, and now amount to about
one-sixth of what they did com"
days ago. With but very few ex
ceptions, where the rice is stacked,
the grain is all threshed. The re
ceipts here have bsen 584,160 bags,
and tins will probably go to 700,000
or over before spring, Innumerable
small warehouses will be found over
the country, while along the C....I.
and at all Manor,, on lb. branch
road are larger ones, and they are,
nearly all full of rice. The greater
part ot this will come to Crowley
to be milled, and m this way the
receipts will be greatly augmented.
"There will be much more milling
this yea-," said a heavy raser of.
a
a
to
in
a
•
rice to-day 'Tbe crop is laiger, ot
course, bit were t the same as las*
year there would be more ot it inill
^d here. Tins is especially true ot
the red rices. Much of this quality
that shows a generous sprinkling of
red when milled presents a much I
better appearance. The red in
many instances disappears in the
process of milling, and brings a bet
ter price.'
"Tne mills here will be kept
busy until late in the spring aud will
bare a moat successful! season.'
