RICE Our market has further streng- thened during the past week, but only a few new ordera, have been put through. The American market has suddenly eased a good deal, but the general opinion is that buyers over there will soon have to pay current rates as they cannot secure supplice from this market at their pre- sent low limits. The French authorities have placed an absolute embargo on ship ments from Tonkin, and it was rumour ed in native circles on Saturday that the Siamese Government will probably also take steps to restrict exportation at

no distant date.

The market closed firra at the following prices:---
