Talk ON 'Change.

The movements yesterday were generally the
summer standard. Nearly all the transient popua-
ton has departed and those old residents who have
commercial affairs to attend to in distant parts
closing up now rapidly nevertheless there will he |
more than ordinary number Of our solid citizens
remain at home. There will be more business done
this season than on any former occasion. Possibly,
according to the views Of some New York chrogra-
pbists the cotton market may open for the next
son about the middle of August 1t will be desirable
that all English spinners and dealers who place re-
lance on those reliable correspondents Of the English
press to be prepared early.
There was fair amount of business doing yester-
day on the steamboat landing for the season of the
year very fair receipts of Western products, but
very limited receipts of cotton. Those 100000
bales which were coming with sc rush y in the
month of May, appear to be waiting for the comet,
perhaps. We only received yesterday 313 bales,
against 3l65 bales for the corresponding day last
year.
Up to last night the cold weather, which followed
the storm OF last Saturday still continued very favor
able for the worm to do its bidding in the cotton
j field.
We Yesterday received several Of those Munchausen
circulars, ndited in NewYork, to mislead the English
spinners and dealers in cotton. In another column
will be found one signed T. G. Stewart & Co. This
party with others, having been sgnaly defeated in
all their estimates and assumptions regarding the
crop of 1885, cautiously omit the least reference to
the increasing deficiency at all the ports, and now
pretend to say that those who favor 100000 bales
or 100000, appear to have anticipated receipts
different from those they were recording. This ia
decidedly cool but the closing paragraph is little
cooler, or possibly we might say, betrays great
