Talk on 'Chanse-Business.

A1AfA VII h:s>-A6.a"AAA~"'.
Well, what was talk on change yesterday? There
was no topic in general offering A few remarks was
| made about Mr.. James Buchanan and a gentleman
well known to this community, now bearing the title
of Senator Slidel It is generally assumed that he is
something of more Importance than he was forty
years ago, when the extent OF his influence was
within the sphere Of d ship brokers' Office in Front
street, New York. 1t was, however, quiet yesterday
on the streets and great thoroughtares, though on
the steamboat landing the usual fall activity in the
dischargng of cargoes of steam boats the loading OF
the same, the discharging and loading of vessels,
from almost the upper limits of the Fourth District 10
the lower limits of the Third District distance of
five miles, created considerable animation, and called
into requistion the many thousands of vehicles for
transportation.
Among the arrivals Of vessels this week, on the
10th 11th and 18th, we notice the ship Juiata from
Rio de Janeiro, with II 00G bags Of coffee, barque
Lonia, with 5000 bags; barque Rodlekit, with
743 bags barque Cornela, with 1000 bags. Total
"a 743 bags, which, with the previous arrivals make
1896 bags received since the first of September,
against 7 1865 bags for the corresponding time last
year. The greatest receipt of staple articles of bulk
is salt. The receipts last year double Of any
previous year. but this shows greater excess
being 242 37G sacks from Liverpool against l36 900
last year, and 9S 900 bushels of Turks lsland Cadz
and Others against Is, 400 last year In almost every
kind and description Of merchandise imported through
the Custom House, there is an increase. For the
general information of croakers and alarmists, as
well kind friends who have predicted about the
grass We have to inform them thatwe expect larger
foreign business this season in our city than we ever
had before; that our two great railroads are pro-
crossing surely and steadily, and that the locomotives
are actively employed, both east and west from the
city. The feeling on change among the solid
and working men of our city is Of the strongest
kind with the greatest confidence in the advancing
and onward destiny Of city. True there some
few discontents who would not be satisfied il they
controlled the mines of Golconda and Australia.
Their influence, however, is the wane The low
price of real estate will be productive of the greatest
benefit to city. If mechanics, artisans and work
ing be induced by the low prices of city lots
to build houses, settle permanently and become pro-
prietors of homestead in our city, it will rebound
far more for its prosperity than all few dozen own
ers of brick storesand bank stocks could effect III
ordinary life time, particularly those who draw high
rents and spend them in Paris and northern cities,
like many owners Of property on Camp street, from
whence emanate these remarks. g Our motto is
cheap rents and internal improvements, which has
many adherents on change.
The receipts Of cotton yesterday were G407 bales,
the Cora Anderson bringing in more than haIf say
$500 bales, from Memphis. The activity in sales of
the day previous not continued, and the market
closed heavily and droopngly. Buyers Or would he
buyers for the English market held back stubborn
and obstinate Mr.. Bull in person. Unless the El-
ropas advccs Of the 1st inst bring another rise, we
shall see some amusing scenes between The Bears and
Bulls, as the season advances.
The Canada's mails will be due tomorrow, and al
though it is the regular day for the failure Of the
Northern mail, they may come through The Europa
is the next steamer due from Liverpool, to have left
on the lst inst for New York. AS neither lines push
their boats formerly, cannot expect short
passage as the Europa is one Of the old steamers.
