Talk on Change.


The streets were thronged at an early hour yester
day. The talk was, where do SO many people live ?
How is it that with only three first class hotels so
many thousands find accommodations True there
many first class private houses where all comforts
and conveniences be realized. We were in hopes
this that the square of ground bounded by Camp
Poydras, North, and ST. Francis street. would have
been under state of Improvement. In fact, it was
limited months ago that arrangements were in pro-
gress for erecting hotel. The heirs of George Nor
gan, of the proprietors being under age inter
poses against the immediate improvement. A joint
stock association ought to be formed, and take the
necessary steps for carrying out the intention One
of the copropretors of this ground may be relied on
holding his interest for the very highest price
However, there good and central locations. For
instance, the property forming the of Laiay
ette and Camp streets, including the building owned
and lately occupied by the Bank of New Orleans car
all be obtained for the purpose We think this ques
tion of erecting another hotel should be duly con
sdered by our permanent residents, and particularly
Camp street property owners. We do not know tina
it is of much to aude to Camp street proprietors
for they do not appear to whether the street i'm
proves or retrogrades. Fine stores for rent at
nominal price for the balance of the season. Their
is considerable talk about its daily decline.
The talk was also on the apparent dullness of thu
cotton market. The receipts continue only on al
average scale, though the two first days OF the weel
they were heavy. We shall have the greater part o
what is intended for market this season at hant
within the next thirty days We are satisfied of ont
thing that the price of cotton cannot be forced up
the views held by many Planters say l3 to Is cents
and we trust our country friends will not take oenc,
at our remarks, nor do we believe Manchester spin
ners and the New York Bears can depress the pric,
to their views, say sgd. to 3d. We wrote on th,
3Oth OF September last that the extent Of production
would have no bearing on prices this season. w
| have as yet met with no argument to change ou
views. is and 20 cents were then the prices hopet
to be realized. Our cotton factors have been cen
sured and our banks denounced for not doing impos
sibiities in sustaining the hopes and ancipations
cultiyators. There for vituperation tn
staple is commanding remunerative prices, and W
trust may continue So and that buyers for foreig
aud Northern markets will at least realize one dolla
per bale profit, and the usual commissions.
The Northern mail yesterday was a sort of hall
way affair. We received one New York paper of tn
llth. The telegraph said that the balance of tn
mails of the 1lth and 18th would arrive this morning
The Nagara's mails will come along on Sunday, pei
haps. In the meantime, we may have the Africa
advices of the 9th inst. from Liverpool. They ar
looked for with much interest. Commercially an
financially everything is satisfactory on the othe
| side,
