THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER %, 1g78.


There was some talk yesterday of the weather
being variable and tickle. AT any rate it did not in
tertere with general business Cotton sold freely and
at good prices. It can hardly be supposed there
would be any aultdnders at to u cents yet there
are Sugar and molasses are arriving in large quan
titles. The crop Of saccharine will be large The
quality, in general, very superior We have not
heard OF any one wanting to buy up the greater part
of the crop and hold it at 10 cents and encourage
large importations Of Cuban sugar at lower price
The question Of mOnopozing an article like sugar is
easier talked Of than carried out, so planters need
not be uneasy but what they will receive the full
value Of their crops. The talk is, with good supplies
and stocks of sugar and molasses on hand at all
times at the depot, will be the means Of drawing
more buyers. One large mart, like what can be
established in this city, is worth dozen of small
ones. New Orleans is destined to be the most i'm
portant cotton market in the world We have buyers
from almost every nation where the staple is wanted
and buyers are increasing each succeeding year. 1t
is all stun and nonsense for people, writers or editors
to be talking and writing about constant return Of
jeopardy of life every season, and of the injury that
attends the welfare and prosperity Of our city if the
visitation of epidemics and fever are not checked
Some of this kind Of talk is meant for other purposes
than any real interest in the greatness of our CITY,
Inuendoes against corporate bodies are uuderhand-
ingy attempted to be carried out. The talk is, that
if there is any probability of our city being retarded
in population extent and increase of business there
has been evidence of it from the manner citizens
and emgants from most every part of the world have
been arriving and coming within its limits for the last
sixty days, in defiance of sickness and epidemic.
This talk about New Orleans losing its position in the
world Of commerce from a seasons epidemic, is an
old story. 1t has been repeated during every sckly
season for forty years.
In the meantime, there is something to be said
about cotton Mr.. Wright, the great operator for q
