TALK ON CHANGE.

The congregations yesterday were on the warm
weather order. The weather has not yet, however,
attained the summer standard, but does not want
many degrees of it. In the meantime, there are
some gatherings where cotton is discussed or talked

The talking of cotton reached to actual saes the de-
tails Of which will be found under the usual head.
Yesterday remarkable for one thing, there were
10 flaming and exciting dispatches over the wires.
We did not hear any talk or inquiry of that exciting
dispatch which came some time last week, that the
expectation of grain and breadstus from Great Bri
tain had been prohibited, nor do we expect to but
it shows how cautiously half of the reports should be
received Neither do we learn anything of the failure
of that large clearinghouse in London for two mil
lions of sterling, announced on the eve of the depar-
ture of the Canada, though we have had two arrivals
since. The talk is, that the telegraph works too
rapidly, does not wait for confirming or anti conf rn-
ing accounts.
There was some talk here and there yesterday of
the crops. The general belief is that all crops-cot
ton, sugar. corn aud wheat, are doing very well and
that the recent weather, or the weather for two
weeks past, has through the Southwest brought the
crops forward, that in the average there is very
little difference between the condition now and at
this time last year. The accounts from above regard
ing the stage of water highly favorabe-that is
the Mississippi is declining, ard if it continues to re.
cede for another week ten days. the June rise from
the Missouri aud upper Mississippi will have very lit
tie effect lower Louisiana. The talk is, that the
second crevasse, opposite Baton Rouge a. Lobdells
may do some damage. The Bonnet Care break will
remain open till the river recedes The water is hay-
ing full sway through lake Pontchartrain. 1t is,
however, no new thing for the waters of the Missis.
sippi to be united with Pontchartrain.
The arrivals from the West were free for the season
of the year. With corn commanding 81 and over per
bushel and -four 81 80 to 49, it is reasonable to sup
pose every grain of wheat will be turned into flour
aud forwarded to market, with every kind of corn.
Neither flour, wheat nor pork will pay to ship
to Europe if they carried gratis so it is of
no use to talk of foreign demand for them at pre-
sent Cotton be held without the least deteriora-
tion-it will not suffer in quality. Breadstuffs and
provisions kept for six months or longer will be
almost valueless in quality. Finally the talk is, that
Europe will not want any large shipments from the
granares on this side of the Atlantic for months to
come The talk is, that freights continue ruinous y
low-4d for cotton to Liverpool is something better
than is paid from New York. the rate there being ID
to 5-32d.
The mails via Mobile failed yesterday from beyond
Augusta. The mail via Jackson Railroad came
through, bringing dates from New York to the 18th
as late as DUE The passenger travel via the jackson
road is increasing, with the route via Wick sburg in
creasing-that is, leaving here in the morning and
meeting the boats at Vicksburg, thence to Memphis
and thence everywhere
