The hrst efect Of rupture in peaceful relations
with foreign powers upon commercial matters has been
felt In the South and Wss and business Of all kinds in
these sections has been completely prostrated. Conf
depression exists The producers Of the interior

consequence of the failures and the mposs
bility Of realizing their shipments. The merchants
