than usual, though at prices a little
easier than yesterday, and In our leading
staple the inquiry of several buyers
caused an active appearance on u prin-
cipal business thoroughfares. There has
been some Improvement in the river be-
tween here and st. Louis, and boats ar
rived during the day drawing ten feet.
The Arkansas is'very low, with business
dull, and less than thirty inches from
Little Rock out. White river is down to
three feet.above Augusta, and four from
there ont.
OF the crop prospects in Louisiana, the
Sugar Planter saysl We hear but lew
complaints from farmer or planter. New
er since cropping began in this State was
there a fairer prospect at the same time
of the year than there is now. Cane, cot
ton and corn all promise the most glowing
results. A drOuth may seriously injure
the yield of cane and corn the eaterpil-
lar NAV ruin the ~cOtton-these are chances
to which those great staples are subjected.
We viii, however, add to the prospects of
a good yield tie assertion OF many old
planters, that the season opens precisely
as did that of the great year of 1888, when
we made almost too much sugar, or at
least we made so much that IL brought
nothing, or next to il. This is encourag-
ing in the extreme. The greatest draw
back to be feared is the probable scarcity
of labor, which even now Is not equal TO
the demand. With cotton and sugar the
main labor lies in taking OF the crops,
far more so han in their cultivation.
The question OF labor at the proper time
settled, the planter and farmer would feel
much easier even now.
