day against a 10per cent. reduction, about

SUGAR PLANTERS DEPRESSED.
Drought and High Water Greatly Dam


Drought and High Water Greatly Dam
age the Crop In st. Mary's Parish.
FRANKLIN, La, Jan. 1.-Sugar making
has closed in this parish and the result is
disastrous to planters. The yield, with a
few exceptions, has not been satisfactory.
This, coupled with the low price of pro-
ducts, has disappointed and depressed
planters. The small yield is due to the
extended drought of July, August and
September, producing short, hard cane,
with heavy, woody fibre and little sap
matter. Quite a large area planted
in the lower end of the parish was swept
away by high water. The crop generally
from these causes will fall largely short of
last year. The prospect for the coming
year in view of the proposed ratification
OF the Mexican and Spanish treaties, and
the difficulty of obtaining advances for
cultivating the cane crop, is very gloomy.
Planters are in great doubt as to the
proper course to pursue. No contracts
with laborers for the new year are being
made, and much apprehension is felt as
to their future, as they are without means
OF support and are wholly dependent
upon their daily labor.

NEW YEAR AT THE EXPOSITION
Colder Weather Stim uIates the Attend

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. IA cold dry
norther to-day has had beneficial effect
on the attendance at the exposition,
which was encouragingly numerous.
During the day concerts in Music Hall
by the Mexican band were well attended,
dividing the honors with chimes selec-
tions of Prof Widdows on the bells in
the main towers.
The meeting of exhibitors called for to-
day was postponed till tomorrow, when
the management will present a full re-
port of the freight lying IN the custom
house depots and on side tracks. The
meeting will also probably decide upon
announcing day for the final completion
of the exposition. The State exhibits are
nearly all completed. Utah is the only

tation of any kind. Vermont has space
allotted, but up to date not single ex-
hibit has been placed in position.
