Talk ON Change.
The commercial received by the Baltic produced
NO effect Of importance this market Only about three
hundred bales Of cotton sod without lchAsge In
prices The market closed rather dull Other articles
of produce were without material alteration.
The ship e., burned at sea, was, learned from
Mr.. Zeregs Change, insured for $50 900 which
below value Her cargo valued at about s55 oe
or $50 co., and probably insured here end Eng
land. II VAS doubted whether the Are originated from
spontaneous combustion. It the opinion of
thst ERE might be communicated to cotton bales
before they are put board and shoulder for
some time before general ignition. Mr.. z. stated
that a day brought four or five
bales Of cotton to the wharf, to 70 on board one OF his
vessels which he discovered to be fire. The only
the could give to the origin Of the Are
that he had passed some burning shavings
After trouble the fire extnguished, and the
bales shipped Had these b gone the SHIP or into
store they would probably 1--we produced general cen
agration. Persons engaged in handling cotton should
avoid smoking None doubted but under certain cireum
spontaneous combustion might ensue. All ad-
mixtures Of oily substances with cotton cacua ed
to produce IT, The usual plan in loading vessels was to
stow all greasy oily materials in the bottom OF their
holds, and to stow the cotton over them at top thus
avoiding all dagger Of damage from contact. This plan
had been carried cut in loading the j. T.
Some shipping agents Change stated that they had
received bitter npaints against the regulations adopted
by the house of Messrs Brown shipey Co., regarding
the priority Of right the part shippers to put goods
board the steamship Baltic. From the great rush
made it would goods enough were offered to
fill two such vessels. It that the steamer
first opened for the receipt of freight the Goth Of July
when number of shippers sent their loaded carts do
with goods Messrs B. $. & Co. charged that tho way
blocked up that they PEELED to postpone
the period for taking in freight aud ua after cons
derable delays sdop ed the plan of "a lottery to dsc
priority, they drawing permit like Others, for their
goods. 1t charged BY of the disapp ,ned
agents that the delay caused Intentionally on the
part of the SCENTS to Die them to get their goods
off, which had not reached the wharf in reasonable time
This, however, question upon which Msssrs
Brown, Shipley Co. to be heard and it
hoped they would be able to give satisfactory
explanation Several parties in this city, who expected
goods by the Baltic, disappointed and received let
ters apparently written under excitement casting
the blame Messrs. B. 8. &Co
goods TO continue pressing upon American steam
after this people almost to fight the
goods in order to who should &c! them board
Hrst it high time keels for additional largo steamers
were laid.
Tie low and auc usting ysa o: sterling exchange in
this market affected the coeesn market unfsvorably
| 1t doubted whether the purchase Of American
stocks at 12l attainable to any considerable extent
would affect materially the supply of money. 1t
believed Inst by far the larger portion of these secur
ties held abroad, and, sent here for SALE the
money received would likely be RENTED go from the
country, unless inducements should be held out for
investment in other American securities.
