Erigid Louisiana.
CHICAGO, September 24th-The Times
New Orleans special says the Louisiana
orange crop is usually marketed about this
time. Reports from Calcasieu, st. Ber-
nard, st, Mary, Cameron, LaFourche and
other parishes in which the orange is prin-
cipally grown, report the crop complete
failure this year. 1t usually averages from
$50, 600 to 50000,0O0 This year it will
not be 81 100000, in consequence of the
severe freeze last winter. The news is uni
fornly bad from every portion of the State.
In some places, where 500 barrels were OBJ
tanned last year, barely one barrel will be
secured. The freeze last winter did terrible
damage, killing limbs, and requiring the
cutting off of so much dead wood as to al
most destroy the trees. There is absolutely
no crop, none of the trees bearing properly .
Large plantations are as badly injured as
small ones. The worst of the matter is
that the trees are so badly injured that it
will take nine years of propiuous weather
before the crop will be a full one again. 1t
will be but little improved next year
There will be only partial production the
year following. If nothing happens to
prevent, the third year should see fair
crop. A large proportion of the Louisiana
crop last year was shipped North, but there
