Talk on 'Chonge.


There was considerable animation on the street
yesterday and of course there must have been more
or less talk The gatherings at the various corners
are Increasing daily. Old residents who have beer
temporarily soiourung at the seashore suburbs snd
others who have been travelling and soliciting bust
ness are returning daily In addition to these every
steamboat every vessel arriving, brings more or less
of new corners, who are ambitious of becoming resi-
dents Of this famed city but, cannot talk people
out of the idea that New Orleans at this time is a
proper place for strangers. Abiding to strangers
arriving from Europe and Northern ports, reminds Us
that in the epidemic year Of 1929 large number Of
emigrants arrived in our city and were waited upon
by Mr. Prieur We believe the then Mayor and urged
to go over the Lake for few weeks until tile abate

would 60 and await the Mayors wishes, provided
they were paid tue dollars per day as long as they
remained out Of the limits 81 the city. The talk was

days or more. The question propoanded is, will il

in one day and out the next they get through what
they came for. The Great Northern and jackson
Railroad, with the daily departure Of our splendid

day or two since there were some congratuIa-
lions expressed about the Atlantic telegraph The
talk was, we should have the price of cotton in
Liverpool yesterday on the bulletin boards last even
ing. We took good look, even borrowed pair of
spectacles, and examined the bulletin boards Of our
contemporaries as well as our own but faith we could
not discover anything but the arrival Of he great
Natchez and Hiawatha the former with / O95 bales
cotton; but some body joys US and says that there
were later advces, and that the submarine cable was

Professor Hughes was somewhere in search Of the
causes of inaction. The inquiry is, will our under

OF course it is impossible to talk on the street
without bringing up cotton. We do not want any
one to ask us what the crop will be-let Us wait and
see how long frost will keep of. Buyers for the Eng
lish market are few aud far between There are
numbers waiting in New York for the sickness to
abate, and also many of regular residents anxious
to get home. We wonder what one-haIr Of them
went away for? II it will be any consolation to them
we can only say they may return with great safety in
about thirty to forty days.
