Talk on Change.

There was very little talk yesterday. Before mer-
dian It commenced raining, which in some degree
checked outdoor transactions. There were some
efforts made to whistle to keep spirits up but it was
uphill work, with Middng cotton selling at to 81
cents, and Sterling change at prices that buyers
might choose to give.
Parties are waiting for the adyces Of the 18th inst
Whatever the prospect may be, we cannot expect
that they will add to the untavomble position Of the
market This is the talk.
Every kind of produce is descending to the specie
basis-cotton, sugar. -four and the general necessa.
res Of life. Tobacco, another of the great staples of
this market, is also tending downward The arrivals
from the West continue free, and though we have ac
counts Of fall in the water it will have no effect SO
long AS weather continues of the present moderate
feeling. @
The general talk on change is what are the banks
going to doY We are not aware that there is any in
tention to devate from the present routine of affairs
Mr. Jones says, it he deposits one hundred thousand
dollars in bank, he does il for his own convenience
and when he checks for it, he expects it to be paid in
the best of currency. Now, then, Mr.. Brown says
that discounting on deposits will not answer on q
rainy day. So the talk is that the banks cannot dc
much more than they are doing, for the present at

take exceptions.
