TALK ON ,CHANGE.

There was nothing of stirring nature transpred
yesterday on rue Carondeet and envrons. There
was plenty of natures dust flying about, but there
was disposition on the part of the Bears or the
Bulls to throw dust into each others eyes, Nor did
we learn of any factor or broker offering dust and
dusty cotton for SALE For clean cotton such will
come under the classification of decent pickings,
there is good demand at from l05 to l02 and lie.
Since the middle Of last month (September) the pur
chases and shipments for England have been very
large for the season of the year. being 1858 bales
against 81 402 bales for the same time last year. The
ceerances yesterday 1890 bales for Liverpool
alone We do not pretend to foresee what Manchester
spinners will think of this large excess of shipments,
the talk is that large share Of them their
own account The talk is, that the New York deal
ers in cotton-the New York jockeys, as they are
facetiousy termed on the fags-are very shy of the
staple at this moment interested they in many
thousands of bales of low quality of cotton, other
wise half sand and gin waste, and which will not sell
for four pence per lb when it ought to bring SD to
3D. to pay cost and charges.
1t is hardly necessary to talk much of the general
liveliness and activity on the levee and landings
The arrivals of vessels toerabe numerous, but
not in sufficient numbers to depress the general
freight market. Talking of shipping and freights,
we learn that the ship Hortensea hailing from and
owned partly in this port of 700 tuns burthen built
in 1854 and rstcass ship, has been sold to parties
in Charleston at the low price Of $22, 900. There
were further receipts of sugar of the new crop
yesterday. The talk is, that it will be coming to
market in large quantities before the present month
closes. The first three hogsheads of the new crop
last year brought 9c. per lb.; the first five of this
season brought 75c. per b. the 18th of October.
Last year $50 barrels of molasses was sold at So to
353c per gallon.
There is very little talk about the weed tobacco.
In some parts of the country accounts are coming to
hand that many growers, in anticipation of an early
frcs cut their crops prematurely, which will lead to
considerable deficiency in weight but as we have not
yet received any accounts of damage from frost it
reasonable to conclude that the present crop will lie
an average one at least The talk is there has only
been sold fifteen hogsheads out of the stock of % 900
hogsheads for the last five days. Well, this is
operating on the diminutive order. DIais nimporte
every trade will have its day and course.
The dry weather still continues though there were
signs Of rain yesterday evening Several years ago
in the time of a long drouth-the Water Works Com.

their predecessors and that they will direct the plugs
to be opened for at least three hours every day dur

of the Company do not extend into the midst of
those residents who are now suffering for the great
element. Now then, gentlemen OF the Water Works
directory, order the plugs to be opened, and do a
good deed for once, if you never performed one be.
