NEw-ORIEANs, June 1l.-Money has been tight
all the week and the difficulty OF obtaining 1t has
affected to greater less extent business OF all
kinds. The only serious result, however, has been
the depreciation of stocks and bonds particularly
city securities The suspensions of A. Carrere a.
Co.. the old established hardware firm of b. J. West
& Son. the cotton future house of Hunt, Stewart
& Co.. and a couple of small houses who will
scarcely be missed from the commercial world, have
had no great effect on general business The failure
of Carrerc g. Co.. although FASTENED by The scarcity
of money and the death of their senior, could rot

They went into everything, and to every enterprise
in which they interested themselves they gave both
time and money. Their course was enterprislng

In answer TO a call from the State Board Of
Health the Governor has issued proclamation
providing for n detention of forty days OF
all vessels arriving from ports infected with

hoped will have the effect OF forcing the
Legislature to amend the quarantine law and ap-
proprinte money for The erection and maintenance
at the quarantine station of scientific machinery for
the thorough dsinfection and fumigaon of vessels.
The position of the Board is that without intelli
gent and thorough fumigation and dlsnfectlon the
only sure way of preventing the importation of yell
low fever is to close the ports against ships from in
fccted places, aud this they propose to do. The
regulations will go into effect on July TO-
