NEW ORLEANS. The Times Of Tues
day says;
The weather opened yesterday with
cloudy sky and close temperature which
so up TO s5S PM, when a slight
shower fell, that cooled the atmosphere 70
a considerable extent. We noticed at
nightfaIi that the elements were again tn
an unsettled state, and A was expected
that heavy rains would have fallen during
the night.
AS far az business on the landing IS con-
cerned. to use the phrase of boatmens 1b
has virtually g0neup. There was nothing
doing on either landing worthy OF nOtes
except the repairs Of the WharVeHs which
are progressing rapidly.
