sUaAn PaospEcrs.-A correspondent Of the
New Orleans Picayune, writing under date of
March s1st, from St. Francisville, La, thus
speaks Of the sugar prospects for the coming
season:
find that the prospects Of sugar crop in
this part of the country are even worse than
had written to you some days ago. From every
point Of the compass Ihear the same complaints
The most that sugar planters now expect to do is
to raise seed enough for next year. Some will not
do that much. Luckily, however, they found
out their true condition in time to plough the
ground for full cotton crop, and with the pres
ent prices of that great staple they are bound to

good article would meet with ready sale
There are several varieties, but the Tennessee
green and the Mexican are most used in this
part of the cotton growing region. Many planters
win be supplied by their neighbors who had not
gone Into sugar, but these are those who prefer
to buy fresh seed. Should we have good sea
son for cotton the country is safe though the su.
gar crop is lost. The spring is very backward
Corn and garden patches begin to want q show.
