Tho Imports of rlco Into the United
Statea for tho eight months ending
March 1 were 48043 short tons an
against 64087 tons during tho same
time the previous year Included In
this were 22255 tons of clean rice
against 38792 tons during the sami
tlmo tho year before There were 24
000 tons of rice flour rice meal and
broken rice Imported as against 23141
tons tho year before The notable tea
lure of these Imports Is the falling oft
In the Imports of cleaned rice from 38
792 tons in 189495 to 22255 tons during

about 100000 to 110000 tons These
reduced Imports would seem to Indi-
cate a comparatively bare rice market
