Beaumont, Tex : Mr Kahn, presi-
dent of the National Itie«- Milling Com-
pany of New Orleans and also presi-
dent of the same company organized
under the Texas laws, was a visitor
in the city Wednesday and left at
noon for Houston. Mr. Kann Is very
well satisfied with the rice crop this
season. Prices are high, lie said, hut
as a miller he Is glad of this, so long
as thu price for cleaned rice keeps
up.
"I would much rather pay Rood
prices and receive good prices," said
Mr. Kahn, "than to deal in lower
prices, it is much more satisfactory.
The receipts this year are 100,000 bar-
rels ahead of the same date last year,
showing that the crop Is a hit more
advanced than last year, although this
Increase In receipts Is due to some ex
tent to the le-ger river crop which
conies In early in the season.
"As to the size of the crop this
year I anticipate that It will be just
ahout the same crop as last year,
which was 4,300,000 barrels. This de-
pends, of course, on subsequent con-
ditions The crop Is not half harvest-
ed and of course weather conditions
will have a telling effect upon the re-
mainder of the crop. A feature of
the situation at this time Is the fact
that all the rice harvested and
threshed to date has been sold to the
mills, cleaned and much of It has been
consumed, a condition very unusual
and due to the very small amount of
rice carried over from last season.'
