TRADE.

packets left with fair trips. Sales of corn
and feed were on a more liberal scale
han 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-
cipaI 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 eUt, White river is down to
three feet above Augusta, apd four from
there out.
Of the r prospects in Louisiana, the
.SagGr Planter V ave hear but few
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 taeEe is now cane, cot
ton and corn all promise the most glowing
results. A drOUth may seriously iHjGre
the WELD of cane and corn; the caterpiI-
lar NAV ruin the c~ottOn-these are chances
TO which those great staples are subjected.
We will, however, add to the prospects Of
a rood Weld the assertion or many old
planters, that b season opens precisely
as did that of the great year Of 1903, when
we made almost too much sugar, or at
least we made so much that it brought
nothing. or next to it. This is ~encOurag-
ing in JEs 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 on the crops,
far more so than in their cultivation.
The question OF labor at the proper time
settled, the planter and farmer would feel
much easier ever now.
