The Sugar Crop Of Louisiana.

A pamphlet has been issued by the New
Orleans Price Current containing a detail
ana for I887s88. The total crop is 81. 647
~hogsheads. Plaquemine makes the largest
re~turns-5,845 hhds: Assumption the next
tiargest-5. 669. st Landry returns only A
hogsheads, Vermillion 20, Pointe Coupee
10, and Calcasieu g It. must be remem-
bered that Pointe Coupee was almost en-
large portion of IberviIie. West Baton
Rouge, and other sugar-raising parishes.
The crop of this year ought to be much
larger than the last by the Increased area
in cultivation. There are indications that
this culture is reviving, and we may ex-
pect that in a few years 1t viii reach, and
perhaps exceed, its former development,
when the crop ranged from 5000 600 to 500,O 600
hogsheads.
