moved
slowly but most long grains
were in good demand at firm prices.
Inquiry for California Japan was
somewhat more active with increased
buying by the Hawaiian and Japa-
nese trade.
“Marketings of rough rice were very
light with some mills closed and oth-
ers operating only part time. Harvest-
ing was practically completed in all
areas but growers were not pressing
remaining supplies on the market, The
quality of the late threshed crops is
reported considerably below earlier
outturns.
“Southern rough rice markets re-
mained quiet with practically no sales
reported in Louisana and Arkansas
| but with a fair volume of marketings
in the Beaumont and Houston, Texas.
Specific appropriations to be sought
by the commission for the 1936 com-
memoration of Texas independence,
central exposition at Dallas $1,000,000
for celebrations to be held at various
historic spots throughout the state to
| be agreed upon and $750,000 for a na-
tionwide pumpaign advert bing the
central exposition and these celebra-
tions throughout 1935 and 1936. The
executive recommendation will be
presented to the commission at an
early date and if approved, it is hoped
that an appropriation bill would be
ready for introduction when the leg-
islature convenes January 8. No spe-
cific means of raising the money
I would be suggested.
I In the meantime, according to mem-
bers of the executive committee, ov-
erwhelming support of the proposal
to allow immediate use of the $3,-
000,000 bonds voted by Dallas for fi-
nancing the Texas Centennial Exposi-
tion is indicated by early returns from
a postcard poll of the Dallas citizens.
Utilization of these bonds and the
proposed consequent issuance of $2,-
000,000 bonds by the Texas Centennial
Central Exposition, a corporation, un-
der the revamped plan, would elimi-
nate necessity for delay in preparing
for the central exposition pending as-
surance of desired state and federal
financial support.
Reports to the Centennial commis-
sion from all sections of the state, it
was announced, are indicative of re-
newed and augmented interest in and
enthusiasm for the Centennial project.
"The people of the state," says a
statement by the chairman of the exe-
cutive committee, “itre just waiting
for the new plan to be submitted to
them so that they can approve it,
judging from reports we have re-
ceived.”

"California rough rice marketings
were limited to a few thousand bags
with mills mostly u sing supplies pur-
chased early in the season. Offerings
by growers were only moderate but
sufficient for trade needs. The milling
quality of late threshed rice is report-
ed satisfactory than earlier offerings
with numerous lots yielding only 40
to 45 pounds of head rice.
Prices held at the minimums allow-
ed in the marketing agreement with

head rice quoted at $1 71 and that
yielding 50 pounds at $1.66 per 100

plus rice continued to move to poul-
try feeders and other consumers at
$1.05-1.15 per 100
Limited Holiday Trade.
"Miller rice markets were fairly
steady although demand was restrict-
ed to the limited holiday trade needs.
Replacement buying accounted for the
bulk of the activity at New Orleans
where small stocks in dealers' hands
made limited purchases necessary. An
improved inquiry for the light sup-
plies of some grades of long grain re-
suited in firm prices for these types.
Purchases, however, were principally
in small lots both of long grains and
Blue Rose. Inquiry for larger lots
were mostly for shipment after Jan-
uary 1.
“Low priced vegetables continued to
restrict demand for rice at New Or-
bans and other Soutnern points. Ex-
port demand was very light with a
few carlots sold to Central Amer-
ica. The Puerto Rican trade bought
in a small way for prompt and 30
day shipment. Demand for brewers
rice for delivery after the first of the
year was more active but offerings
were limited.
"Demand for rice at New York im-
proved with distributors buying to
replace diminishing supplies. Purch-1
ases, were mostly for nearby deliver-
ies since very little broadening in
demand was expected until after the
holidays. The principal interest was
in long grains and Japans and pur
chases of Blue Rose and Early Pro-
lific were rather light. Inquiry for
brewers rice was active with offerings |

delivery readily taken at steady pri-
ces. Broken rice was scarce and
wanted. •
December Dullness.
"Central western markets reported
the usual December dullness despite
colder weather. Trading at Chicago
was inactive with very littl e prospect
of any increase in demand until the
beginning of the new year. Retail
sales increased somewhat in Kansas
City as a result of colder weather but
demand from wholesalers showed lit-
tle improvement with distributors
working on supplies purchased early
in the season and holding purchases
to immediate needs until after in-
ventory period. Consumer demand
was quiet at Minenapolis and jobbers
were buying only sufficient for im-
mediate requirements.
"Pacific Coast nulled rice markets
were more active than eastern mar-
kets, reflecting increased demand
from Hawaii and the local Japanese
trade. The Japanese are accustomed
I to give lice as presents and this has
increased holiday buying Scattered
ales were made to Puerto Rico for
December through February ship-
ment. Shipment from San Francisco
to Puerto Rico during November were
i eported at 3,29 ,000 pounds, bringing
the total since October I to 7,283,000
pounds compared with 11,861,456
pounds for the corresponding period
last year. Pacific Coast inquiry show-
ed a slight seasonal increase but buy-
ing was principhily for immediate
