TALK ON 'CHANGE.

TALK ON CHANGE
Although the gatherings on Carondelet street
and environs yesterday were as large as usual
there were very few real negotiations reached con-
lirmation. The early part of the day was devoted
to the reading of the correspondence received by
the Persa up to the 2Gtl, and if we may be per-
mitted to express opinions, the private advices
differ from the teicgraphic dispatches, which were
forwarded at the date of arrival. It appears from
our private accounts that cotton may be dull and
declining in value in Liverpool, and at the same
time Or on the same day, the market in Manchester
may be active for goods and yarns, and prices rsih
IN favor OF spinners and yet the importers Of the
staple in Liverpool have to contend against weak
market and the bearing down propensities of the
Manchester Bears. The sales of new crop Orleans
cotton for the week ending on the 18th November
ranged from ! 5-l6@7id. These figures, it is pre-
sumed apply to Middngs. OF course, the ship
ments made thithcr in September, October and
early in November, will come out, as the talk goes
right sight up The Bears on rue Carondelet, who
predicted i'd as the extreme figure for Middlings on
the lst of December, will not realize their predic-
tions, as it is hardly possible that decline of 3d.
can take place in three days, under the regular
routine which has attended the Liverpool market
for two months past.
We received the following by mail yesterday:

Juan things may jog along quite peRceablg
We trust our correspondent will be relieved of
lis fears when he learns that Lundy's Lane or
hasty plate Of soup has returned from San Juan
with favorable intelligence. 1t will, however, be
somewhat astonishing for Europe to learn that a
brigand from Mexico, with four hundred followers
has invaded the territory of the United States, cap
turen American citizens, taken the Government
mails, issued proclamation, and held full pos
session and undisputed control of the lower West
ern boundary of the United States for two months
and half. We should not be surprised after this
at anything Mr.. Napoleon the Third may do, even
if he should eat his New-Year's dinner in London
q conqueror.
On the leyee there was an increased activity yes
terday; not, however, beyond the corresponding
dates of last year. The arrivals of steamboats, were
free, and all with good cargoes, excepting the
boats out Of Red river. The late reported rise in
that stream was light. From present indications,
the resumption of intercourse with the Northwest
section of our State is likely to be procrasti
mated. 1t is hardly necessary to talk of the sugar
depot. In our peregrinations in that section We
did not learn, nor did We discover anything crafty
ing. The ginet rangers, of course, were in good
spirits and were trying hard to enhance the price
of sugar and moasses, in which they will, no
doubt, be successful. Consumers and dealers in
wofrlly deficient. 1t is however, manifest that the
'rangers " much prefer Qike ourselves) to talk of
large crops, irrespective of prices. We sympa-
thze with all concerned and interested in our sugar
produce at the very impoverishing aspects-double
prices will scarcely make up the deficiency
There was some talk in the freight market.
Some concessions have been realized within the
past two days by shippers. The increasing stock,
however, is in favor of shipowners. The further
talk was, that our insurance companies are under
large risks and assumptions at this time In fact,
all our local companies, with most of the foreign
agencies, have as much business as they can well
manage.
The mails failed yesterday. The announced ar
rangement for the conveyance of the mails over
the gap was premature, as letters and papers from
Northern States were not received yesterday via
Jackson Railroad.
