Prosperity Ahead.
\. o. Picayune.l

| n. o. Picayune.
There are abundant indications
that New Orleans is entering upon
a career of prosperity that will
equal the palmy days preceding
the war. A combination of circum
stances has placed our staple pro
ducts on q basis OF high prices, and
they will net the planter more M Oh
ey than for the past ten years.
Cotton is selling as fast as receiv
ed at very remunerative prices
Not only do the planters realize $40
per bale more than at this time last
year, but the sections tributary to
this market will have 200, 900 bales
more cotton to sell. The advance
already established will result in
adding e25, OO0, 900 to the Income
Of our tributary sections.
The sugar districts are not less
fortunate. The short beet root
crop of France, has excited Euro
pean markets, and, following New
York. values have been advanced
here fully 33O04O per hid. above
the prices current at this time last
season. For example, "Evan HaiIr
whites sold Yesterday at 10sc., and
an offer of 1O3c. was subsequently
refused. Last November these SUI
gaFs brought only 75GSc.
Should the crop turn out 200, 900 |
hhds., as expected with n favorable
grinding season. this will add co.
OO0, 600 to 5000, 600 to the value of
the sugar production, while current
rates for mOlasses will increase the
value of this article some 1000,

An increased revenue of go, 900
700 distributed among our customs
ara must result in vast improves
nent in every branch OF trade.
This Increase IL all clear profit, as it

cotton crops were produced on
