TALK ON 'CHANGE.-Alt gh it is the season of
the year when the greatest depression in business
hangs over city, still the week commences with
some arrivals of produce, some sales Of the at
good prices and there is talk on change and on the
streets of what will be done the coming autumn and
winter. Though there has not been any cotton of
this seasons growth or rather known to be SUCH re.
ceiyed via the river yet there is misrust lurking in
some circles regarding two bales which we alluded
to in our last Saturdays issue, and which we have
again been informed was raised this season. The first
receipts for the past few years was in 1916 the It'll
August; in 1s47 on the 9th August; in lS4s on the
9TH August; in 1910 on the It'll August; in 1850 on
the 18th August; in 1851 the 25th July; in 1852
on the I'd August; in 1858 on the 9th August in
1854 the 25th July in 1865 on the 26th July the
last, like the present year, being from Texas. Al
though we have reports from many parts of the
try Of bols being opened, and that the plant is rpen
ing fast, we do not learn from the most favored sec
tons that the yield will be last year. From the
parish of Point Coupee, which, however, is not
largely in cotton cultvation the accounts are of
very fatterng nature then, on the other side, we
have accounts from Concorda and Madison that the
prospects are decidedly untayolable-that the worm
and bug have been at work most seriously So we
yield will be the extent of the seasons product.
We are favored III the city with health in the high
est degree and according to all accounts those who
left the city for the hyperborean regions have sadly
missed the figure We saw letters received by
mail yesterday, written in Virginia by absentees
which state the heat to range from 100 to 102; and
the writers say they suffered much from the
heat, even we suppose in the inhospitabe climate"
nj re from tIarN n,tI
New York and Boston, indicate higher degree of
heat In fact, it keeps that great astronomer Merriam
of Brooklyn Heights, giving his views daily and
hourly on heated terms So we Judge there are de-
cidedly hotter places than New Orleans, and where
there are not half of the comforts and enoyments to
be attained in this good city of ours and its sea-
shore suburbs. We do not hear explanations and re-
marks streets, Oh, how hot the weather ISL
but we hear how cool and comfortable it Isl, and of
this and that splendid steamer arriving from ST.
Louis, Cairo, Paduca, Memphis, Vicksburg and the
coast, bringing the largest kind of loads particularly
those from above ycksburg, OF those from the lat
ter point and below, can any one tell us where
there is more splendid and luscious freightsuch as
peaches, pears and so on-than they have been
bringing for weeks past and in such large quantities
Then, again. to observe how cosy, cool and comfort
able our bankers, merchants and brokers, one and
all are; to receive the good fat dividends our banks
are making; the great and successful business our
insurance companies have done, making scrip diyi-
, dends Of S3a per cent; to note the improvements
which are going on the rebuilding of the wharyes
the general improvements of the ship steam and fat
boat landings; the activity which prevails at the ship
yards IN Agiers the painting repairing and refur-
nlsnns q tle numerous steamboats, in portal pre-
parlng TOR the coming business season. Let US hope
{ Tor crop of cotton of sixteen hundred thousand
bales tor 1866 and 81 and corresponding consump
ton in England with 1866 and '56.
