New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1859-06-09
TALK ON CHANGE,

One of those showers of rain characteristic of the
tropics as well as our climate, passed over city
yesterday just about the usual time Of gathering
Carondele street. These showers, it is hoped, ex-
tend over great portion of the State and will not
do any harm if they do not come up too often. The
streets were of COURSE quiet yesterday Some further
details of the intelligence by the steamer City OF
Washington was received. The stock of cotton in
Liverpool on the 26th $780, 900 bales It will, in
all probability be fresh in the minds Of our readers
that on the l4th of April we said that the stock of
cotton in Liverpool on the 10th of June would be
100000 bales. We were privately taken to task for
this remark by some of our dealers and brokers
for the then supposed rash assertion. On the 26th
May they were in receipt of information at Liver
pool of $780, 900 bales being at sea, and we will pro
pound the question, Though it is very immateria
whether it is answered) what will be the stock in
Liverpool on the 30th Of the present month? Our
contemporary, the Price Current favored us yesterday
with the Texas statement, which show the receipts at
the Texas ports for last week to be 1926 bales and
the total receipts to be 165 200 bales which makes
the total receipts at all the ports up to the dates
published yesterday and port up to last evening"
1907 65l bales. The wagers 5000 OOO or the diff
ference of opinions from those figures can now be
settled. Our readers figure out the supposed
quantity to be received at the ports taking into con-
sideration that under declining market 5000 bales
were burned on Tuesday night at Columbus, Ca This
is another proofo the mpocy of holding large stocks
of cotton, or other produce, for RISE 1t is only
few nights since crop of sugar, $50 hhds., was de-
stroyed by fire. 1t is presumed that the cotton burnt
in Columbus was covered by Insurance. and in the
parlance of the times, was well sold. We stated
last week that the oracle OF the New York Cotton
market had gone to Europe. The Liverpool market
will OFFER this summer splendid chances for specula-
tive investments. The General forwarded his circu.
lar that the crop would be 900 bales after many
weeks refraining from lsping figure The General,
also, during the months of Aprland May, commented
on unpropitous weather for planting great overflow
Of the Mississippi with large losses in anticipation
from many thousand Of cotton lands being sub.
merged. But, somehow, there is change in the
wind, for the circular of the Generals house of the
3lst nlt. speaketh thus:
CRoP.-The stand is good and the accounts gener.
ally favorable.
There was not much going on yesterday on Tchoup-
touas Poydas and other streets of the center of the
great Western trade. The receipts continue free
from the great West, and the accounts of.the grow
ing crops Of cereals OF the most hattering nature
A Geographic dispatch has been received from New
York. stating that there was heavy frost on the
night of the 4th inst, which inflicted great damage
on the growing crops These frost accounts must be
received with great rates of discount. New York is
famous for marvellous reports.
The Africa, from Liverpool Of the 26th will be
due at New York today; we shall have the full de-
tails of the English markets for the week ending the
18th ut but the political advices, the war ntelli.
gence from the Continent, must be duly considered
before being acted on. 1t will not do to give credence
to more than one'haf, if as much. The steamer Ten
nessee from Vera Cruz, will be due on Saturday. |
The Empire City, from New York, cleared Sandy |
HOOK on the evening of the I'd inst, bound hither.
Inc new steamer 1ndianola leaves this port for Nina
titan and Vera Cruz, according to notice. The Amer
icas mails from Europe will be due here to morrow.
