Talk on Change.

It is hardly necessary to aude to the multitude Of
folk the streets yesterday At an early hour they
began to pour forth. The great Boulevard, Canal,
was completely crowded. The talk was, where do 50
many people come from How and where do they
find accommodations Our hotels, from frstclass A
down to Z, are full and crowded. The talk is, we
must have another frstcIass hotel There are no two
ways about it, We must accommodate the visitors
that pour in on us every winter The Hotel Veranda,
which was destroyed by fire has never been replaced.
And why not, the inquiry is made? Because what is
eyerybodys business is nobody's But this policy
will not answer any longer; 50 several Of our leading
citizens think and it affords us pleasure to say that
preliminares are now going on to secure the square
Of ground fronting on Camp, Poydras, St. Francis
streets and Lafayette Square for the purpose Of
hotel Two Of the owners now in New York, have
been addressed by of our oldest and most encr-
getic citizens regarding the purchase This square
Of ground can be secured at a cheap rate and on a
long credit. There is not much use in talking about
the matter, All that is required is action and few
thousand dollars. If property holders on Camp and
Poydras streets will now come forward, they will
save Camp street from decline. If they desire to
act, let them call at q Camp street.
The further talk on which we have to comment
was about Carondelet street and cnyrOns. The Eu-
ropean news by the Arabia was not altogether salts
factory The Bears in cotton though were. satisfied
that is, they who have not any large quantity en-
route to arrive in a declining market, and undergo
the saughtcring process. The talk is and it il
opinion that some new mode has been adopted, some
more practical form called into requistion, which
will in great measure do away with the Bill Of Lad
ing document system. In fact, are aware of it,
Yet the absence of large sums Of document bills is
owing to the very limited purchases by spectators
dealers who have heretofore dealt largely for the
English market. They have kept aloof during the
present season. from the currency here being above
that Of Liverpool They begin to think their time il
at hand, and are only waiting for the January ac
counts from Europe. The Arabias accounts encour
ages them from the fact that the imports into Liver
pool were larger than anticipated though those i'm
ports may be on spnners account then the spnners
will not purchase so freely in Liverpool, saith the
Bears. In the meantime the Bulls, factors and plant
ers show bold front, and insist that the cOnsump
ton is increasing and likely to increase talk good
deal about the demand for goods for China, and so
on and really some Of the minkn factors would
talk old fUeies out Of cOuntenance if the old foge5
were not supported by facts and substance as well as
figures But we are DEPRESSING from the details of
the Arabia accounts with the exception Of the vari
alton in the price of cotton they are deemed favor
able particularly as the Manchester adyces are re-
ported of a satisfactory character Provisions and
breadstutfs are quoted depressed, This will please
the mass Of consumers on this side. With cheap
bread cheap money and good crops there need be no
apprehension; though some farsghted citizens think
they see political troubles ahead-that Great Britain
and the United States may come to blows. The talk
is there is no danger Of this that President Bu-
chanan and Secretary Cas- have not the courage to
resent, that serviity rules supreme at Washington.
50 our opinion is that dealers and operators in cot
ton can move on without apprehension
1t will he seen that the arrivals from coastwisc and
foreign ports have been large this week. 1t is mpos-
sble to say how many thousands have been added to
our population There have arrived at our levee this
week. forty-onc vessels from sea seyentytwo steam
boats, nine steamships besides the daily mail boats
from Mobile, and the jackson and OpeIousas Railroad
trains daily. Among the foreign imports Of the
week we note forty-one thousand bags of coffee. We
begin 10 think that we are doing about as well as
could be expeetcd-that is, some folks talk 50. in
which we coincide, and not having space for further
remarks We must defer talk the prospects for
the coming week.
