The Business Prospect.

The business outlook for this sec
ton of the State is far from discour-
aging. From consultation with
wholesale dealers in Shreveport. we
learn that their trade Is more salts
factory than at this period last year,
or the one preceding. From the
farmer comes the reply that his
class is going to depend more on its
own resources for the coming sea-
son, and will raise more corn, peas,
potatoes, ETC., so that their pur-
chases will be confined to only such
as they are absolutely compelled to
buy. Thus will the merchant he
more sure of collecting for what he
sells. while the planter. owing lit
tie, viii. after making a settlement
of that. be In n much better finan-
cial condition on account Of it. This
change has been wrought Mt great
cost, in that degree of extrava-
gance had been reached and in
dulged by many; and the financial
stringency of the past two years has
made 1t rough sailing for the ma
jority of them. But the gale has
been weathered, and though many
wrecks lie upon the reefs crushed,
disabled and ruined, still a large
majority of crafts are safe in harbor
and are undergoing complete re-
pairs. SO, everything considered,
It is a hopeful face that our people
turn toward the future. and bright
anticipation sets on the cheeks and
flashes from the eye. And no doubt
when coming events relate their
story. they will tell Of a prosperous
and happy people, enjoying the
fruits Of their toll and careful calcu-
lations.
