Growers' Association
Tlie market lor rough rice coutinue
active, top grades particular!) are
gaining more strength as the season
advances and the supply diminishes.
Clean rice, tlie domestic demand, is
light but on account of tlie export
demand being larger, offsets the light
domestic market.
The distribution of rice tor Novem-
ber was 1,2X7.000 pockets. Tills again
shows a nexceptionally large distribu-
tion for November and following the
heavy distribution for the month of
October, is very gratifying
Since Hie last bulletin rough rice
has advanced at least l,.e a barrel
amt with your association feeding tlie
market as it lias done during the
three months and not forcing the rice
on to the market in large quantities
tlie price of rice should steadily ad-
vance.
The British Indian government has
issued their first rice forecast for tile
easou 1922-23. The total area Is re-
ported to lie 73.Hili.non acres which is
about I per cent below the revised
estimates. 73.IH9.ooo, at this time last
year. The condition of tile crop is
reported from all sections as being
good.
Japan The second government es-
timate of tlie Japanese rice crop
amounts to X.lll.lt-I tons. This shows
a decrease of 438.05(1 tons as compar-
ed to the first estimate but an increase
of 750,409 tons as compared with tlie
yield of last years’ crop.
The market for American rice in
Europe continues tine. iYcreenings.
particularly, are high, on account of
tlie American Relief ('ommission hnv
ing bought heavily for the Near East
Relief.
Tile total sales of rice by your as-
sociation up to and including Dec 9
'are 733.1128 sacks, the total sales lor
I the same date last year were 551.IM
1 sacki.
