Talk ON 'Change.


is, where so many thousands Of visitors and tempor
ary residents find accommodations, with only three
stclsss hotels in the city. The impression is that
there must be great pulling and hauling. The gem
eal talk that measures ought to be forthwith taken
to erect another building for a hotel. The vacant
square Of ground fronting the Of Camp and
Poydras streets is still vacant. Owners and proprie
tors Of real estate Camp street have got to make
improvements or Its prestige will be one of the
things that were. We have several times alluded to
the repavng Of the street with square block stone.
However, another year or two will tell of this neglect
We need not already point to the many fine stores
now vacated, the former tenants of which have
moved to Carondelet street and its environs. We
need hardly call attention, ALSO to the improvements
now going forward on Canal street, and which ap-
pears to be extending swampward as fast as Camp
street is declining. &
Even the heretofore valuable building on the cor
Of Camp and Gravier streets 50 long occupied at
high rent, and considered one Of the best locations,
is now vacant and it is unnecessary to point to other
buildings. High and almost extortionate rents are
driving good tenants out ,f the street. we'll as the
total Disregard Of owners in not having the street
kept in proper order, and this cannot be done with
the round OF cobble stone pavement. This is some
| OF the Talk on camp street. es
| The general talk in commercial circles was the
character Of the Niagaas advices from Liverpool on
the 7th. At late hour last evening no definite ad-
vices of the extent of the decline in cotton had
through. The old :. Grand-M -Marmp in Threadneede
street had advanced the rate Of interest to 8 per
cent What will Mr.. Bull in general, think Of this.
| Some announcement Of failures were made in the
iron trade-there may be others. As there are many
predicted, suppose they will have to take place.
AS almost every one expected unfayorabe intelli-
gence the complexion Of the accounts causes no dis
appointment. There is fair amount Of specie, say
100000, reported. Very little business was done
yesterday after the news was divulged, We shall
/ undoubtedly get to work again this morning, and
possibly before o'clock arrives, the general details
of the accounts will have been considered pro and
con. and passed into oblivion.
Business was active on the levee yesterday Sugar,
cotton and molasses occupy nearly the entire space
of the broad landing and there was nothing percev-
able that our city was emerging from one Of the
greatest reyulsions in finance and commerce on re-
cord. The recuperative energies Of our community
are inexhaustble. It appears that multitudes come
here seeking business and to amass treasure, and
they intend to have both if industry, hard work and
go goa-headatiyeness will secure them.
\ The Northern mail failed again yesterday We
may receive the Arabias letters this morning, pro
vided the mail does not fail The next steamer from
Europe will probably be the Vanderbilt the next
Cunard the Africa, for New York.
4 The new steamer Virginia, belonging to the Mis-
sissippi Sound Company, built for the lake and Mo
bile trade, left New York on Tuesday, the 18th.
