The New Orleans Times of the 29th ult. says:
LouIsiana's special staple, the sugar crop, has
never promised better. 1t has hardly con-
ungency TO meet between now and frost, un-
less 1t be August or septt mber gales. Season
able rains are passing over the sugar belt, a. d
soon the periodical showers may be expected.
The excessively hot weather, which is so de-
Oilitating to man, is the life and strength of
he cane. The growth has been very rapid in

BASE BALL
seems to be the absorbing topic as the brokers
and packers are getting ready for the grand
contest next Saturday at "a P. NJ. Already the
contestants are exhibiting bruised hands,
the result OF efforts to under
stand the mystery OF catching balls,
and "yarn" has already been suggested as a
sub titute for the regular compound of iron
and some other materials that have made
cripples for life. The enthusiasm is steadily in.
creasing, and The question who will run, and
be responsible for the ''sundries," is just what
no fe low can answer.

port, Ind, was on Change to-day. He expects
