TALK ON CHANGE.


Things moved along quietly and smoothly yester-
day Carondeet street and envroDs were mot greatly
exercised, particularly cotton factors about the
future. We did not expect to have much more talk
about cotton but somehow or another 1t monopozes
good deal Of the talk. It will be seen that the
ceipts yesterday exclusive of these from Memphis,
were 1886 bales. This includes 633 bales from the
Sabine river, which we do not include in Texas be-
cause good share of 1t comes from the Louisiana
sde nor do we include the 1875 bales brought by the
Nebraska. The greater part Of that ia from Memphis
and included as 80 much stock in that market, as
shown by our estimates published on the 18th con.
seqnently we place 1886 bales to the debitefthe H.
4lO bales which we are to receive here previous to
the 31st of August next.
Tobacco is coming in freely. The trade in the
weed will soon be active, and war in Earope will
help it amazingly. A million Of soldiers would have
to be provided by their respective governments with
the weed. They would no more go to war or fight
ing without tobacco than they would without pow
der We don't want folks TO talk to us that an Euro
pean war would be preudical to American interests
or American commerce. The Bears may as well re-
main in chrysals state they undertake the solu
ton of this question conformable to their views.
In some respects we breathe with more freedom.
We have found some expressions Of sympathy from
quarters we did not expect. Here they are, taken,
we believe, from Shipping List or Price Current
published in New York:
Disagreeable reports come to US from New Orleans
in the immediate vicinity of the city, threatening to
cause serious damage. We regret to hear this. The
business interests Of sister city thus exposed
to combination of msfortunes: LIST, the provoking
distractions at the Southwest Pass, OBTAINING the
vast quantities of cotton and other merchandise,
which ought to have been, long this their way
to market; I'd, another inundation from above, and
last but not least the sickness which, with the IN
coming of warm weather, almost invariably follows
variations of that description. proper degree OF
enterprise on the part of the merchants and the
municipal authorities may do much to obvate the in
conveniences Of the first two while, for the rest we
| must rely on the mercy OF Providence.
We are thankful for all kind feelings in our favor,
| but we must look into the motives which govern
those feelings The distractions at the mouth of the
river are particularly alluded to in the above. Those
distractions interfere with Northern interests by de-
tention of vessels as well local interests. The
overfows and not so bad as they might
be- but perhaps sufficiently so as to check some
travelling Northward and the disbursng of Souther
money for Northern benefit. As regards the ncom.
ing of warm weather and its effects on the hygeian
position of our nature we, of course, rely on Prov
dence. But if we are to believe the rules or theory
as laid down by contagonists the fever has been in
troduced into New Orleans from one year to another
only through Northern shipowners or through their
vessels.
However, as we do not subscribe to this view, nor
to the transmissibty of fever We consider it pre-.
mature for Northern editors to be aluding to sick.
ness and those leterwriters from this city who
mark with SO much freedom about our wet streets
and their muddy condition. can note the talk that all
fifth stagnant water mud puddles and dirty streets
, which have been charged to New Orleans, never
caused case of yellow fever. Therefore, it is unne
cessary to frighten Northern soourners, now in ou

= The further talk was of the destruction by fire o
the sugar.house, engine and appurtenances of th
Orange Grove Plantation, 73 miles above the city
right bank which took place on Monday last. Th
plantation belonged to Mr.. Burnside, being one o
the four purchased from Col. Preston. With th
l. sugarhouse were burnt 80 hogsheads Of sugar AM
1000 barrels molasses-total loss, $69O00-of whicl
$4,000 were covered by insurance in one of tn
foreign agencies, which we learn will be paid on de
mand, without discount.
The mail came through by the Jackson route yes
terday in due order. The mail via Mobile failed from
beyond Baltimore. There were no accounts of tn
Europa last evening.
