Of course there was some speculation as 10 the cause
Of this improved state Of things in New Orleans, and
some merchants were Of opinion that some intelligence
had probably reached parties in New Orleans, Of which
we are ignorant, respecting the prospects of an early
opeping of the blockade. It is possible that the last tel
egraphic intelligence as to European affairs and the NJ
mored alliance between England and France, for the pur
pose of interfering in favor of the South, may havs bad
ia influence. The Talk on Change IL the Creceal
intmates that not much reliance is placed on the prospect
of foreign action in our affairs. The act Of the Legisla
ture in legalizing the suspension of the banks, and the
veto by the Governor Of Louisiana Of the Objectionable
cotton planters relief bill, have had the effect Of restoring
a degree of financial confidence that did not exist before
the recent adjournment Of the Legislature. To this
must be added the important fact, that capital is abun
dant and is seeking Investment. The deposits in the banks
in New Orleans are greater at this moment than they ever
xvere before. These considerations viii help to throw
gone light upon the changed aspect Of matters in tie
New orleans market Cotton is especially a flvorite ar
tiele for investment, and the demand for that staple Il
baeorine very active. We see evidence Of this in tic
statement of the New Orleans Della that almost every
boat that arrives there brings cotton, and that the receipts
Of that article in New Orleans during last week, by river
amounted to 1858 bales. The Alexandra, La, Donoea
of January 31st, says there is considerable movement il
cotton al that point; " eight cents a pound is freely offer
ad for cotton-to remain on the plantation until called
for and at the risk ofthe purchaser-the purchase money
however, to be paid at once"
