Talk on 'Chansc-susnr.

1t was generally very quiet yesterday on the streets
On the cvee, at the steamboat and ship landings it
was lively. notwithstanding it was very dark and
threatchcfrain through the entire day The arrivals
from the cstwith the numerous coast packets are
sufficiently numerous, even at this early period to
keep the levee filled with produce. With the exccp-
ton OF sugar and molaSses, market is well supplied
with every article, commanding the very highest pr
ces: in fact, cx0rbtant when compared with former
years Last year at this time, molsses was selling at
25 to 20 cents per gallon now it commands 81 to 81
cents. In lS55 it sold at 10 to IS cents Sugar last
year was 6 to g. cclffs now the same quality COM:
1aands p to l0 cents, There will undoubtedly be
neutrality-suspicious. of foreign sugars The shipments
from Calcutta from the lst May to the 3lst August
lo3h, four months, were eight thousand seven hundred
and one bags, against twelve hundred aud nnet flour
bags same time III lSjJ The high price, throughout
the country, with the short production in this State
WI" encourage shipments from every part Of the world
where il is an article Of production There will be-
more dirt and sand consumed in the United Stttes
than in any previous year since sugar has been regard
ed one Of the nccessaries Of life, though in olen time
! it was merely deemed a luxury. The weatfeT has
BEEN in most Of the sugar regions of this Stf for tile
astftSo months, as favorable eoulq bEAeshed for
and rpenins of the tSne, ansthc esti-

rents. This reduced crop will have somewhat Of a
telling effect on the many boats, coasters einet ran
gers brokers and others who have for many years
been engaged one way or another in the article. The
shipments to northern ports will be little or none.
We do not think that the planters in Attakapas will
this year send much to New York direct from the
Teche, unless they desire loss Of from to cents
! per pound from what it will command in this market.
II Is generally the received opinion that New Orleans
will be the best sugar market for the planter this sea-
son-that higher prices relatively will lie obtained.
and as for charges it is established fact that in 10
market in the United States are they reasonable or
| uniform. Moreover, the sugar is here sold for cash
without an account of sale being embellshed with 4
long string of charges, TO two wrought nails as
a sine qua always attaching to shipments to
northern ports
