A Practical Illus- tration. i tu, That fne manner of eonduetlnf the rtce business In Houston wlU be revolutionized bvu the topplng-ln-trnlt rate granted by the Southern laclrlc railroad la the opinion of those who were Instrumental In getting the railroad to meke the rate.

It Is contended that this rate, more than any other one thing that na been done In connection with the rice Industry, will tend to make Houston the great rice center of the Texas and Louisiana rice belt. Houston has heretofore held no advantage In the matter of Interstate rates over any mill In any other prt of Texas. For Instance, the local rate on cloari rice from Houston to Chicago Is the same as the local rate from Beaumont to Culcago: It, then, a Houston rice buyer purchased a lot of rice In B.iumont and had It shipped him In Huston, and then wanted to reshlp it to Ciiu-ago, It would be necessary for him to pay the local rate from Beaumont to Houston aod then the sate from Houston to Chl-Oiiso To make It plain the rate on clean from Beaumont to Houston is 1JS cents in car lots. The rate from both Houston and Beaumont to Cuicago Is 33 cents. It will be seen, therefore, that to alp r.ie to Houston, hold It until It can be In Chicago and then reshlp It to that point would make a rate of 45 cents, whicn would be absolutely prohibitive from the standpoint of the Houston buyer.

Under the stopping-ln-translt rate, a car of rice can be shipped to Houstou on tae liVcent rate. The Houston buyer retains his freight receipt, stores the rice In a bonded warehouse, sends samptes to Chicago, and when the sale Is effected reships to that point, paying the St-cen: rate, minus the 124-cent rate from Beaumont, plus a charge of two cents charged ty tae railroad for the stop-over privilege. It Is believed that the change will result in bringing a number of rice buyers to Houston, and that it will eventually lead the formation of a rice exchange. But where the revolution wilt come In will be In the selling of rl. to Northern markets Vnder the svstem is in vogue at mills have their brokers In the principal Northern markets, ncd- ihi thev Apr It Is In the nature of a game of blind man buff, for none of the mills nave a very cirar iu ,1 the ot.ier Is doing, nor are they able to tell what the price of rice in Texas Is.

To a certain extent, go in the dark, 1th a number of rice buyers and bTOiers In Houston they could establish an exchange, and the rl market would be as well defined as the cotton market is at present.
