BUSINESS. Talk on Chaiise.-Alt Though nothing
Of more than ordinary interest transpired yesterday
Oh change and on the Streets nevertheless there was
q good feeling prevailing. From the daily congrega-
cation Of the most prominent men Of our city at the
Mechanics and Dealers Exchange, on st. Charles
street and It's vicinity, the exchange Of views and
opinions all that tends TO the enhancement of our
city trade we opine that good business is in pros
poet for the coming season. The tenth Of September
Inns come and passed, nosckness has appeared, and
is reasonable to conclude we shall pass this season
free from affection. Within the last forty years the
fever only commenced as an epidemic but once in the
month Of September, and that was on the fifth day
Of that month, 1922, when the Board Of Health de-
clared an epidemic existing. There was a Board of
Health in those days and d quarantine, but neither
prevented a most dreful and sckly season. We CON
graduate citizens on the favorable auspices with
which the fall business is commencing.
There were several arrivals from sea yesterday with
full cargoes Of merchandise of almost every kind.
Two cargoes Of coffee from Rio, cargoes of sugar from
Cuba ice and other notions from Boston cargoes from
sand seven hundred and sxty.two Mexican dollars
Europe fruit from the Gulf ports and ninetyour thou
from Bfazos st. Jago The great Eclipse was ex-
pected last night with the largest load of cotton Of
the season, which, with boats from the West due TO-
day, will cause considerable activity on the landings
for the balance Of this week,
In another column we give highly interesting let
Der from Liverpool, received by the Persia. We agree
with our correspondent about the Queen Of Dude
and fancy she will have but little of the 800 600
left when she departs from London on her return to
India The English nation great ton for annex
ing territory without purchase negotiation or treaty.
Another Of our commercial correspondents saws !:
Spnners in Manchester and buyers in Liverpool are
making all possible efforts to depress cotton but they
cannot. It remains firm and no doubt will soon be at
higher figures Our correspondent does not APP
pear to have o very exalted opinion of the cotton
dealers on the other side He says they are maneu-
vering, specializing set. On eday Of the departure
of the Persia the weather had changed to fine and
fair and with FIVE or six days of such weather, it
was expected, would be sufficient to secure a good
share Of the crops.
Among the disasters by the gale of the 10th and
30th u regret TO learn the loss Of the steamship
FLORIDA, IF this port belonging to tile line Of Messrs
a. G. Rogers & CO., in the Key West trade. This &C.
currence happened on the slst, in St. Joseph Bay.
West Florida, en- route for Key West. This was the
report on the bulletin board Of the Exchange at an
early hour yesterday, and confirmed by subsequent
accounts TO the agents. The vessel was insured
We:are grataed to learn that our insurance offices
do not suffer very largely by the recent storms
and disasters Fortunately they are abundanty able
to meet all demands promptly, ten times over Its
good thing for insurance companies to lose occasion
ally, SO they can have the pleasure Of showing thei
promptness and punctuality, If losses did not occur
every individual would become his own underwater
and insurance associations anything but productiy,
to stockholders.
