Talk Oh Change.


The day opened yesterday with dark, murky and
gloomy weather, partaking in some respects with the
commercial Intelligence from Europe of the Sd inst.
brought by the steamer Vanderbilt. Towards mid.
day the clouds dispersed, the skies became bright,
and better feeling evinced on the streets vet
the adviees by the Vanderbilt are far from satisae
tory Quotations of Midding Orleans are placed 1t
18TH below I'd. and at I'd. These figures are not
going 70 pay BY long way. Twelve cents, the cost
OF the shipments up to the middle of October. must
bring 80 to cover. The latest dates from this side
received at Liverpool, were up to the 2Oth Of octo
Der II we receive such accounts as were before our
readers yesterday, on reduced and declining stock
IN the kingdom, what are we to expect when the re.
cepts OF the new crop commence to arrive freely in
Liverpool The talk, or rather the inquiry is made
Il many erroneous views have not become current ~
gardng the Increase of consumption and that greater
stress has been placed on this matter than coqa
scrutiny will admit The average weekly deliveries
IN Liverpool foot up a47 bales and the sales for
the two weeks past were 3S to "a ,OOO-tota az mn
bales The falling off in sales is significant that tbe
spinners hold good stocks We do not know vbat

Gated on extreme high prices for the staple. The
question propounds itself, whether it will be safe for
factors to assume responsibilities on crops to grow
next season at the valuation they did last sea-
son. contest is likely to arise between the SINNERS
and dealers on the other side and planters and fact
ors on this side As money is abundant on this side
and likely to continue So factors will be able to mako
good fight. On the other hand John Bull saws he
has twelve weeks consumption in the ports and with
what is at sea, he will prove stubborn and make
bold stand The steamers advces of the 9Th will he
due at Halifax tonight or tomorrow. This will be
the Canada or the Niagara.
The further talk was of the fine, clear and bracinp
weather of yesterday. With clear and cold weather
no great improvement can be expected in the waters
of the Mississippi river and tributaries The tele.
graph accounts are of decline already in both the
Ohio and upper Mississippi, Large quantities Of the
varied products of the West have been forwarded t
market under the late RISE and no lack of supplies
need be apprehended. Should there be a large fall
ing off IN the receipts the effect will be felt by the
shipping interest, and turn to the advantage of cot
ton, by n tendency towards lower freights. Under
the expectation of many arrivals and the desire of
agents, shippers and captains to fill up and be dis
patched, there was some cotton shipped Yesterday
below 9l6th for Liverpool though some shipmasters
and agents held at 3d. and further advance will
partially check operations in cotton for the nonce.
BUSINESS was lively on the landings yesterday.
The receipts Of cotton sugar aud moasses, with the
produce from the West block up the great levee from
day to-day and in and about the warehouses, the cot
ton presses and the cotton yards all is activity and
animation in tine there is more business now doing
in our city at this time than in the three great cities
of New York, Boston and Philadelphia. The great
feature of the times is the unexamplad and daily ad
dition to our population perfect rush of folks from
the East North and West attend each revolving sun.
When we said in the month of September lin the
heghth of the epidemie) that fifty thousand persons
would be added to population by the early part
of December, (next monthly it was thought that we
were drawing on imagination. But what is the state
of the case now Scarcely two weeks have elapsed,
and twenty-five thousand persons have arrived within
the limits Of our muchabused city. As proof of the
manner in which they come, we note that BY one boat
yesterday there were reported 2s8 cabin and Lola
deck of steerage passengers total t,celpe hpndred
and ninetgseven; and how many boats during the
past three weeks, have brought from three to five
hundred eaCh it would be difficult to say vet. with
the mighty avalanche of population coming from
God only knows where, we are asked to believe that
the destiny of our city is retrograding
