WILMINGTON, N. CM THURSDAY,
THE RICE INDUSTRY.
The Past Season Suggestions to Planters.
Messrs. Dan ..Talmage's Sons, in a
communicatson to the Star, give the
following summary of tne last season's
crop with suggestions to planters as to
the approaching season.
The past season (1890-91) has been
one of more than ordinary success so far
as maintenance of values is concerned.
In spite of the unfavorable weather dur
ing harvest, the crop of the United States
was a very large one, and has been mar
keted at prices averaging c to c per
pound above previous, years of like pro
duction, or in the aggregate netting the
planters from $700,000 to over $1,100,
000 more than ordinary. The encour
aging feature in the whole matter is that
this extra amount, in the main, went
into the hands of, or inured to the ben
efit of the planters, and not to the
speculators, wtio "reap when they have
not sown, and gather where they have
not strewed."
The market opened under unusually
favorable circumstances. for some
weeks, owing to the partial failure of
the crops of the world, rice had been a
scarce article, and prices legitimately ad
vanced to a very high plane, and distri
butors throughout the country had al
lowed stocks to run down to a mini
mum, in the hope that with the advent
of the- enormous new crop, prices would
recede rapidly to somewhat near the
basis of previous years of like promise
as to yield. This expectation was never
realized. In the first place, the necessi
ties of dealers -were so pressing they
could not wait until prices had reached
the lowest point, and hence the market
was buoved up by continued large pur
chases, which absorbed the crop as fast
as it was offered, and the usual period
of low prices in December was passed,
with only slight depression of values,
being all the more remarkable, consid
ering the stringent money market pre
vailing during the latter part of the
year. This unusual and unl xked for
condition and satisfactory result to
planters, while in part owing to favoring
conditions of the market at the opening
of the crop, was mainly attributable to
the wise course pursued by planteis
themselves in not forcing their crop
upon the market regardless of price,
but feeling the demand, giving buyers
all they would take, without crowding
the market at any one time.
This lesson, if learned by the planters,
is a valuable one, and having paid dear
ly for their experiece of previous years,
when crops were simply slaughtered, re
gardless of values, it is pleasant to con
template the satisfactory out-turn of the
crop of 1890-91. $1,000,000 saved to the
rice planters of the United States is no
mean sum.
As the season lor seeding the new
crop is approaching we would urge upon
our friends the wisdom of aiming for the
best results.
Plant the best seed which can be
gotten. It costs no more to cultivate
first quality than common or ordinary,
while the money result is much greater.
Keep the ground free of foul stuff,
seed-plants, or grasses and the like.
More black seeds can be grown in six
months than the miller can take out in
an hour, and what he leaves in after he
has done nis best, will deteriorate the
value, from $6.00 to $10.00 per acre, or
enough to pay a profit on the crop, or
bear a large part of the expense.
OPERA HOUSE.
McKee TtftnVin To-Morrow Night in "The
Canuck" Sale of Seats this Morning.
Mr. McKee Rankin has several times
visited Wilmington, and always with a
strong play, and supported by a first
rate company. The piece to be pre
sented to-morrow night was first pro
du:ed in New York, at a leading theatre,
and had a run of 106 nights. It has
been steadily successful thoughout the
country, and will be interpreted by
competent actors.
If we remember aright, Mr. Rankin's
first appearance here was in "The Dan
ltes," and his splendid supporting com
pany on that occasion numbered among
its members Louise E. Sheridan. Every
visit since has increased the first and
favorable impression, and every produc
tion of his was met with liberal patronage
and given universal satisfaction.
The sale of seats for Friday evening's
performance commences this morning
at Yates'.
New Chimes for Fifth Street M. E.
Church.
A new set of chimes has been ordered
by Mr. J no. C. Davis for Fifth Street
M. E. Church, to replace the set now in
use, which have not given satisfaction.
They were from the McShane foundry,
at Baltimore, which agreed to re
ceive them back and furnish others, and
Prof. VanLaer was engaged by Mr.
Davis to visit Baltimore a.id test the
new set; but being unable to do so on
acount of sickness, Mr. Davis wrote to
Mr. L. L. Curtis, formerly choirmaster
of St. James' Church, but who is now
resident in Boston, asking him to
go to Baltimore and inspect and test
the new bells. This Mr. Curtis did,
and festerday Mr. Davis received
a letter from him saying that he
had gone to Baltimore and made the
inspection and test. He enclosed a cer
tificate to that effect. Mr. Davis has
ordered the bells sent out at once.
There will be ten chimes in the new set.
Population of North Carolina.
A press dispatch from Washington,
D. C, says the Census Bureau an
nounces the population of North Caro
lina by races as follows: Whites, 1,049,
19lScolored, 567,170; 1,571; Chinese, 15.
Total, 1,617,947. -
Lost His Arm.
Joe Darden, a white lad employed at
the Wilmington cotton mill, got his left
hand and arm caught under the elevator
at the mill last Tuesday. The poor
fellow's arm was crushed to a felly, and
the physicians at the City Hospital,
where he was taken for treatment.found
that it was necessary to amputate it.
Liquor License Law.
The liquor license section in the
Revenue Act, as it passed the Senate
yesterday, recites that "The board of
commissioners shall upon satisfactory
evidence of good moral character of the
applicants, issue an order to the sheriff
to grant such license," etc. As the bill
came from the House the section read,
"The board of commissioners may," etc.
Ladies' Evening at the Y. M. C. A.
Those in charge of the Ladies' Even
ing this week have decided to issue in
vitations. The large attendance at re
cent occasions has made it necessary, as
the rooms are too small to accommo
date all those who wish to attend.
Yesterday's Weather.
The weather records of the Signal
Office give the following report of the
range of temperature, etc., yesterday:
At 8 a. m., 52; 8 p. m., 54; maximum
temperature, 63; minimum, 51; average
57. Prevailing winds, northwest. Total
rainfall, .01'.
