EFFECT OF TIE CRISIS IN NEW ORLEANS
HEAVY DECLINE IN COTTON AND EXCHANGE.
New ORLEANS, Oct. 1.-The money market hore
begins to feel the effect of the crisis severely, and
both loans and discounts are exceedingly hard to
| make. The banks are discounting only moderately,
and large amount of first class paper is thrown
upon the street at the most exorbitant rates.
| The effect of the squeeze is observed most per-
| ceptibly in the cotton market, which has fallen
| from Ice. to 14c for Middling within two days
The decline, however, has brought in purchasers
with ready cash, and 7G00 bales in all lave
been sold at about the latter figure, "a cents)
In breadstus, and indeed, nearly all articles of
| produce sudden and unookei-for depreciation
| has commenced.
The confidence of the community in the banks,
| however, remains undated and such a thing as
| suspension is not for a moment entertained.
Exchange continues very unsettled, which adds
materially to the difficulties Of trade. The best
bills on London have been sold at par. Sight bills
on New York quoted at II per cent. premium,
and 6O-day bills at y per cent. discount.
