THE REPORTED CORNER IN RICE. Leading Dealer Does Not Think it Will Amount to Much. The New York Herald published a few days ago the following dispatch from New Orleaos : "There is stiff objection from the rice brokers and middlemen over the action of the National Rice Milling Company in shutting them out of their profits. "The complaint has brought to light the fact that tbe company contemplates cornering the rice market and has ' al most succeeded The managers bad foreseen the short crop and sent out a score of buyers early in the.season and bought up whole crops io Southern Louisiana. Tbe outlook does not prem ise more than three-quarters of a mil lion sacks. "it is estimated that the National has bought all bat about two hundred thousand sacks of this, and about Jan uary rice will be on the op grade, with the National Kice Company holding the whip hand." With a view to fiodiog oat what local dealers thought of tbe alleged "deal" a Reporter for tbe News and Courier call ed on Mr. Dan Talmage yesterday, who said: "There is no question bat that tbe National Company has been buying large amounts'of Louisiana rough rice ever since tbe present season opened. These purchases were necessary in order to'procure .material on which the New Orleans milis might work, as last year tbe country mills, built adjacent to tbe rice fields, did a large part of tbe pounding on toll and direct ' Were domestic rice alone to be considered tbe promoters of this scheme might realize their expectations of a January advance, bat foreign is already a sharp competi tor and contracts are now being made for deliveries a few months ahead at a half cent under''spot' quotations: The fictitious advance in the Southwest bas turned the attention of trade to the coast, and cur planters have made the most of the opportunity for marketiog their crops, a. number haviog already sold the major part at most profitable figures."?News and Courier. -? *.-^? THE STATE LOSES. Judge Go : Gives an Adverse Decision in the Cantini ? Case. . Richmond, Va.,? Nov. 11 ?In tbe United States Circuit Court of Appeals to-day Judge Nathan Goff handed down his decision in the celebrated case of Theodore S. Gaillard and others against Anania Cantini. Io his opinion Judge Goff says : 1 "The mere statement of the ground ' on which the orai? demurrer was found- 1 ed, that tbe complainant did not state 1 facts sufficient to constitute a cause of 1 action, is sufficient to show that tbe 1 court did not err in overruling it and 1 ? further discussion of the assignment 1 of error referring to the same is, we ' think, entirely unnecessary. ' Judge Goff does not stop here, but 1 nroceeds to add that if be was certain ^ that the Attorney General was employ- ' ing the court's time simply to delay the ' patment of the Circuit Court's award 1 he would be amenable to punishment. Judge Goff concludes his lengthy ' opinion as follows : ] "If this case were heard only on the ' questions raised by tbe assign mei t of 1 error, referring to what transpired dur ing the trial before the jury, we find it to be our duty to impose the damages provided for by ciauee 2, rule 30. of , this court, as punishment for suing cut < a writ of delay, and it, is ?oly by giv- ? ing the plaintiffs in erto.- the benefit of a doubt that may be said '<> hVvf exist ed as to one of the grouud* ot deu>urr< , that we are not impelled to ukr- th*t course. The judgment complained of ,' will be affirmed " Rule 30, clause 2, under which Judge Goff threatened to punish the Attorney .General, reads as follows: In all cases wnere a writ of error shall delay tbe proceedings on judg ment of the inferior court, and shall ap pear to have been sued out merely fjr dejay, damages at a rate not exceeding 10 per cent in addition to interest sba I be awarded upon tbe amount of judg ment. His Honeymoon. Tbe colored female cook of a fam ily living at the South End came up stairs the other afternoon, and twist ing up tbe corners of her apron with considerable embarrassment, said to ber 'mistress : "You see, misses, I thought it mought be bes' to be tellin' you dat I?dat I done got married las' week." "Ab, indeed ! And what is your name now, Hannah ?" "Mis' Williams, ma'am. You see, my husbaa' be am a cook, too. He am what dey calls a sheit in a hotel." "A chef, beh ? That's very nice. And do you expect to leave us di rectly, Hannah ?" "Not 'rectly, mum. I'll stay wid ye for the present. You see, my h?sban' he's gone to New York an' Washington on his honeymoon, an' it'll be nigh unto six weeks befo' he comes back ?"
