The cause OF the outbreak Of yellow-feycr
in New Orleans seems to have been discov-
cred beyond q doubt. The New Orleans
Times, in a recent issue, states that it has
found that 1900 loads of kitchen garbage,
which had been hauled to the dumping
grounds by the city carts, had been brought
back by contractors and used to ill up
streets IN the front OF the city. This ope-
ration has been going on during the past
year. and was in progress OH the outbreak
Of the epidemic, and as the disease first ap-
pearcd Just at that point, it is more than
probable that the avarce OF the contractors
was the cause OF the present terrible pesti-
lence.
The Rothschlds will offer over forty-two
million dollars OF i've per cent. Egyptian
bonds for sale at from seventy to seventy
five per cent. A commission is guaranteed
by the British and French Governments to
administer the Khedive's surrendered es-
tates, pay the interest, and provide sink
ing fund.

Review of the Cotton Trade

Review of the Cotton Trade.
LIVERPOOL, November 2.-Mcssrs. Ellison
& Co., in their annual review OF the cotton
trade, say the English cotton industries have
been more or less depressed throughout the
past season. The Russian cotton industries.
| aided by high duties, appear to have been
prosperous; but from Germany, France,
Austria, Switzerland, Belgium. and Hol-
| land, the complaints are more or less con-
| spicuous-indeed the whole continent suf-
| fers from glutted markets and low prices
The principal reason for the badness OF
| trade, Messrs. Ellison & Co. believe, is not
over production, but political uncertainty.

HoacQrd Association, Ne,o Orleans, L.,
November q TO Hon. William ". Evarts,
Washington: Your dispatch of the 1st was
received last evening. We do not know
from whom the repeated demands from
New Orleans, OF which you speak, come.
We do now relteratc that the statement that
the Howard Association have a balance Of
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to
distribute after the epidemic to be abso-
iutely untrue. We stopped contributions
September 10Th because we then saw that
We had ample funds, on hand and in sight,
to meet any probable and lawful demands
that might be made upon US. Since that
time, from points at which there was no
fever, we have had demands upon us
which have carried us, under obliga-
lions OF one hundred thousand dollars
beyond the calculations we had made,
and which we could not have anticipated
We are to-day striving hard to meet these
and other obligations and come out clear OF
debt We have not yet paid doctors, who
have so faithfully served us at home, though
