Little variation from the steady i'm
rrovement of the past week marked
yesterdays numerical record of the
yellow fever situation. The variation
was in the nature of improvement, for
with a light death list there is assur-
ance that the fever has at present no
tendency to assume virulent form
Confidence continues to 81 wv and
it is believed that if the favorable
conditions at present are maintained
during the first half Of September
communities which now have their
doors closed to New Orleans will be
inclined to reopen them for the move
ment of freight. Many of the country
districts are suffering as severely as
in the city by the interruption of com
munication and advices received here
indicate that they will be glad when
normal traffic is resumed
If there is an amelioration of quar-
antine restrictions by the middle of
September, New Orleans will be in
finitely better off than during the few
or visitatons of 1897 and 1898 In
both of those years fever made its
appearance only in September. when
the regular fall business season was
opening. Guarantees, much more
rigid than those at present. were i'm
posed. for at that time it was thought
that freight transmitted the germ Of
yellow fever. and there was little
abatement of the rigid restrictions un-
til frost came. The guarantees this
year have fortunately been put on in
a season of summer dullness.
