TALK ON 'oHANGE.


yesterday morning, brought by the steamer Argo
was freely talked of in commercial circles on Poy
dras Tchouptonls, New Leyee, as well as Carondele
street and environs. The good denizens on rue d,
Carondeet must not think there are no other locali
ties for talk and comment on the great questions nov
agitating financial commercial circles and the polti
cal world. The Argos advices were construed unde
various forms. Take one dispatch and it reads favor
able, look at another and it is dubious, scrutnize
third and it is almost as blue as real Rocky Noun
tain Bear could desire. But there was one point
which could not be satisfactorily dissected: What
does Austria intend? The marching and counter
marching, the retrograde movements and the revolu
tionary movements cannot be understood at this dis
lance from the field of hostilities. Whether there will
be only two months war or war of two years. is
question of time In the meantime, we hope we shall
get along on this side Of the Atlantic.
The further talk was Of the fine showers of rain we
have been favored with the past two days. Yester.
day there was nothing more than sprinkling in the
limits Of the parish, while good shower fell at a
distance. The crops, so far as we have heard have
been materially served. The accounts at hand from
almost every section are highly iattering In fact
the talk is what will be done with the expected sur
plus Of cereals? The South will raise large crop of
corn and in some sections large quantities Of wheat
have been gathered.
There was some talk Of the fire at the Louisiana
Manufacturing Company's buildings being caused by
combustion. The burning Of the ship Pleiades and
cargo Of 1850 bales of cotton was undoubtedly caused
by combustion, the cotton having been slowed while
wet and damp.
This is the sixth vessel that has taken fire this sea-
son, loaded here with cotton and sailed hence A
cargo of cotton on fire proves as unfortunate as
cargo Of lime. The talk was that the fire at Column
bus on Tuesday was not so disastrous as at first re-
ported. We shall have full details tomorrow. In
the meantime, there is some talk that these large
losses of cotton from the destructive element may be
prevented by the use Of the iron hoop and tie. Our
citizen, Col Fassman, is prepared to furnish this ne
cessary preventive against the devouring element
It has been fully demonstrated that there is virtue
and safety in iron. But while talking Of these iron
hoops, the inquiry is made, what will become of the
rope factories If iron hoops become universal
Why the materials used for rope can be turned into
baggng. The great increase in cotton will prevent
any conflict between hemp and iron, so far as bands
are concerned-bagging will be wanted at all times.
The arrivals from the West yesterday were free for
the season Of the year. Western produce stocks are
well maintained and likely to be for the present. and
although thousands of population have departed
there are many thousands who do not intend to go,
and many thousands that have no desire to exchange
the comforts of our suburban precincts for the dis.
comforts and Inconvenience of Northern journey.
But the letterwrters are not idle in falsfying and
lying 1--WE cannot use any mder language in regard
to the health of our city, as will appear by the fol-
lowing paragraph, which we take from Boston
paper Of the 2lst inst:
Private letters from New Orleans, from respectable
Sources say that several of yellow fever have
made their appearance there.
The foregoing is one of the many instances of
disregard Of truth and facts, which have emanated
from ignorance in regard to city. The respect
able source had great aversion to truth and
honesty 1t is hoped these veracious letterwriters
VIII leave our city at an early day. We should like,
however, to have their pretended responsibility en-
dorsed that may be assured that we have not been
noticing or talking Of worthless objects.
The Northern mail via Jackson Railroad failed
yesterday from beyond the grand junction. This
being the first failure for several days. it can be over
looked. The mail via Mobile came through. The
next steamer from Europe will probably be the Bohe
milan, Of the Canadian line, which was to leave
Liverpool on the LIST inst. The next Cunard steamer
will be the Europa for Boston. .
The steamer Arizona, from Brazos ST. Iago. brings
q good amount Of coin and bullion, which will form a
basis for exchange.
