The Louisiana troubles have had the most deplorable effect on business. Private advices from New Orleans are to the effect that the contest has brought every department of business and industry to a stand-still. A deep gloom pervades the entire city. The movements of commodities, usually so active at this season of the year, have been practically suspended. Planters and farmers are afraid to ship their cotton and other products to that city, and shipments to other cities are suspended. The orders for goods which formerly went to New Orleans are sent to rival cities. The prospect for the remainder of this winter, therefore, is anything but a cheerful one, and the end is not yet.
