TEXT	Mr. Many was with the house of Fowler & Ward for a number of years, and subsequently established in New York upon his own account, as a broker in rice, rice flour, etc. Mr. Many is still in the early prime of manhood, and a thoroughly active and intelligent business man. He has built up a large and permanent trade 'both in southern and foreign grown rice, and is spoken of in the highest terms throughout commercial circles. Mr. Many has taken much interest in the tariff question, as affecting imported rice, and gave evidence before the Federal Tariff Commission, when it sat in this city, advocating the removal of the duty on foreign grown rice in the paddy, as it would not affect the limited growth in the South in the slightest degree, but would afford a nutritious and wholesome article of diet at rates which would speedily cause increased consumption. Mr. Many speaks warmly of the value of rice as an article of diet, and shows that its possibilities are very great. The limits of this sketch will not admit of our doing justice to his views, but their value and logical accuracy as given before the Commission have been generally recognized. He is a superior judge of the different qualities of rice, and is possessed of every facility for promptly filling all orders, having superior connections, and his prospects in the near future are of the most favorable character.
