New Orleans, La., Oct. 23.—A re-
action was noted In the price of
rough rice today, partly due to the
slight Improvement In the crop rnove-
ment and to the fact that supplies
| were somewhat inferior In grade. A
few odds and endt sold during tha
early session at *10.60 per barrel.
It was reported that two local mills
have cut out their nlhgt shifts be-
cause of exhausted stocks. The dry
weather over the belt has enabled
farmers to resume harvesting and
thrashing, resulting in a slight im-
provement in the movement, although
persistent reports have it that tha
crop damage In the southwestern sec-
tion of the belt will be large. Re-
ceipts. 5,525 sacks and 11.845 pockets.

More Rig- Go I’p.
The T. & 1’. Co. is erecting eight
rigs in the new territory northwest
of Strawn, in the Strawn field. Rep-
resentatives of the Strawn Petroleum
Co., whose lease offsets tho Stuart
No. 92, are expected hero tills week,
and will likely begin operations This
is the company that negotiated the
big deal here a tew days ago, paying
u half million dollars for part of the
Stuart tract.
With the
down in the Strawn field, and the
favorably results already obtained,
the outlook Is promising to say
least. Big developments are
looked for, and the present

The Cosden Oil & Gas Company has
a rig up a half mile south of Wiles
on the Hagabun lease—the Hagaman
It is just at tho top of the hill
south of AViles, They are ready to
drill.
The Humble Company lias a rig on
the Ellis lease, one-half mile east of
tho Hagaman. They will commence
drilling in a few days.
These operations aro seven
west of Strawn.
The following from the Strawn Tri-
bune will be of considerable interest
to those of Bay City who are con-
nected with the Holloway tract which
I lies adjacent to the wells and terri-
tory mentioned:
I The Stuart No. 92. seven miles
northwest of Strawn, continues to at-
tract wide attention. It was brought
in last week by the Texas & Pacilfc
Coal and Oil Company, at a depth of
4,700* feet, and is making its 800 bar-
rels a day. it Is flowing by heads,
probably due to the fact that it is
coming out of a ten-inch casing, thus
preventing a steady pressure. The
well was started as a deep test, with
that the oil sand
would be found at a depth of 4,000
I ’ feet which accounts for the size of
I 1 the pipe. Experienced oil men believe
that the find is of great importance,
as an eight hundred barrel well at
1,700 feet eclipses anything yet found
| in the Texas oil fields.
The Stuart has been connected up
f 1 with a pipe line, but the lateral line
broke and trouble is being experi-
| eneed in saving the flow. All the
