report submitted by r. G.. Dun &
Cos. Mercantile Agency, will prove
interesting to our merchants and
farmers:
"Lafayette Parish-Condition OF
trade:
There is considerable improve
ment In trade; less credit and more
cash sales. Our Washington friends
having gone to their homes, it is to
be hoped they will now occupy their
time with their own private affairs;
if they do SO trade will improve I'M
questionably. Conditions are fair
and prospects good; the crops have
been made cheaply, and there will
be more money in circulation soon.
Crop Conditions: There has
been a reduction IN cotton acreage
and corresponding increase in
cane cultivation. The bounty made
cane cultivation possible here. and
its withdrawal will send our planters
back to cotton. The sugar industry
is demoralized. The cotton crop
is fine, little too much rain, and
the crop about too weeks late.
Corn crop very good.
. Notes.-In and around Carencro
/ there has been a marked advance
in real estate values, as much as 50
to IS per cent. The Carencro Su-
gar Company, has built a sugar
house, several cotton gins have
been renewed, and a number OF
residences built. The prospects
are generally good"
