The Bulls had It yesterdsy-they done all the talk
ng and the Bears the acting. Carondest street was
more lively than we have known Il for some time
other streets seem also to be impregnated with she
gocd feeling existing The talk was that the wont
ot accounts have been received from the other side Of
the Atlantic and that some regularity win ate.d the
course Of events for the balance OF the season. The
venerable President Of the Bank Of Louisiana fes In
clned 70 be somewhat facstious, and indulge IN f.x
1ests when aeked about sundry bills Of exehanr.
Very fortunate IL was that the Ajax did refuse larrs
exchange transactions in September and October. on
cotton based at l24 TO Is cents. The Lord know.
where It's surplus might be at this time, and what
great losses the woudbe dealers in cotton might have
suffered Though some bills are in jeopardy, they are
very trfing, and what they might have been is
another thing. We are rejoiced they are no more,
and that the banks, one and ALL will mot suffer to an
amount to impair their next dividends The future
looks encouraging, though small profits only seem to
be attainable.
Business on the landings is lively. Steamboats, are
arriving almost hourly, and If they do not all bring
full loads they bring sufficient to show there is great
basis remaining for the spring trade The navigation
with the West continues opcn and II farmers in that
section desire TO realize low rates Of freight on their
produce in forwarding 1t to market, now is the ac-
cepted time. is folly to hold for higher prices To
think Of holding for months or until another crop is
raised is the very worst Of policy. By such course
there will be two crops the market in one season
We do not suppose what we may say (awsy down
here in New Oreans) will have much influence on the
farmers in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota or
Indiana though, II they desire to realize gold and
silver for their productions at living prices now is the
time. We do not believe there win be any material
advance for year or more in fact everything viii
rule for the next five years at hard money prices. It
is futile for TO attempt to bolster them up therefore,
Western folks send on your prodaSs TO this famed
city Of New Orleans, where you will receive the
highest prices and the best Of curre1cy 10 payment,
and where for the next four or Eve p5nth there win
be buyers in competition from almost every part of
the universe which trades with the United States Of
America. s
This was the talk on change yesterday, and the
views thrown out can be sustained : =
