I TALK on CHANGE AND BUSINESS-There was quite
arespectable gathering at the Exchange in ST. Charles
street, yesterday considerng hat the good time for
all transactions has not yetariyed There cannot be
any complaint; everything is working on as it were
tremendously. The receipts of cotton, though not so
large as last year. do not interrupt the general good
feeling. According to our record, on the 18th, 18th
and 18th Of September last there were received 1884
bales Of cotton; for the corresponding days this
season the receipts are 6,710 bales The receipts of
western products are argeyin excess of last year,
and if dame nature would present the father of rivers
with little more water, we should have large re-
cepts Of all the rich and varied products of the
| teening West.
The arrivals from the sea for the past ten days have
been very few. The wind however is again fair, and
we shall have heavy feet of arrivals to record in a
| few days. a
The greatest and most important importation from
foreign countries this month is the article of coffee.
The receipts since the 1st instant direct from Rio,
have been 359l1 bags, against 51l same time last
season. We have not heard of any yellow fever being
imported wtit but that the rich and prosperous State
Of Louisiana have only exacted fifteen and twenty
dollars as quarantine imposition for passing from the
Balize to the city Of New Orleans.
Freights for coastwise and foreign ports continue
low. Western traders can send their products for
ward with the strongest expectation Of low feghts,
and if they are to be sold in this market the highest
prices will be oh tanned with speedy sales and prompt
returns,
The telegraph to-day brings adyces of the arrival
at New York yesterday morning Of the steamer Asia
from Liverpool, with dates to the 9Th inst, The ac-
counts quote decline in breadstuffs and an advance
in cotton Cotton dealers in New York and Phila-
delpha cannot at this moment realize that middlng
cotton is selling at H. to llc. in this market They
are basng operations a crop of 3,50000 bales
which they think would not warrant higher rate
than 1Osc. in this market with the current rate Of
| freights and exchange. When buyers for England
! enter our market next month, we shall understand
the question more fully. If they hold back cannot
be for long duration, although there is computed
stock in Liverpool of twenty weeks consumption, and
the cealances from this port since 3lst July 6,7lC
bales Of which quarter is reported to be lost by
the shipwreck of the vessel the barque Emigrant in
| which it was forwarded for Liverpool.
/ There have been several heavy showers Of rain in
the immediate neighborhood Of the city within the
| past few days, and the summer heat has departed
leaving fresh aatumnal breezes and with the good
health of the city, it will not be many weeks before
we shall have the pleasure of witnessing general re
sumption of business, which will, with proper at
tention, be as remunerative for the present yeal
as the one just closed But general trade requires
the closest application and most asduous attention
particularly that branch with the great West an6
if we are only favored with fair stage of navigation
i'll the Western rivers with the Mississippi we shall
not fear the results in August, 1857.
