TALK ON 'CHANGE.

Nothing Of an important nature turned up yestcr-
day. CarOndclet street and environs were well
tIronged at an early hour. The return of seve-
| raj operators, wibe operators in cotton,
were noted that is, several old stagers appeared
the flags. Of course, they do not yet believe in
the killing frost accounts which are coming to
| hand daily. The talk was, there was more cotton
opened before the frost than can be picked, which
| has undoubtedly a strong foundation for the re-
mark The receipts at all the ports up to last
evening were 79s 100 bales, against $50 500 bales
or an increase of ll6,l9l bales. The deficiency at
| Charleston lessened considerably last week. The
total receipts at that port up to the 9th of October
were $4,000 bales against 99,042 bales last year.
AT Savannah on the 9th of October the decrease
was % Al bales. At the Florida ports there is un-
expectedly an increase over last year. say total
ceipts 53l5 bales against 52Ol bales last year. The
receipts at this port continue free. The talk is,
That at the various depots on the Jackson Railroad
there is more cotton offering than two freight
trains can daily bring to market. The receipts,
however, by this road for the last month (October)
did not equal those Of October, 1858, say p, ,762
bales for last month against % 922 bales for Octo-
ber, 1858. 1t is reasonable to conclude that there
Will be an increase this month, provided the dry
weather does not keep all the force of planters in
the field picking; and while the weather continues
so very favorable, it is hoped that sand and dust
will be repudiated 1t is of no to be sending
scrapings and leaves, intermixed with little cot
ton, to market. 1t will not sell. Talking of sandy
cotton brings up the further movements contem-
plated by spinners and dealers in Manchester, re-
marks which will be found under our monetary
head.
The arrivals from the West are free, and the
stocks of Western produce are equal to the de-
mand, which demand, from the movements going
on in Tchoupitoulas, Poydras, Fulton and New
Levee streets, is equal with last year at this time.
We note continued and large shipments of flour
and corn to Texas From the general talk of the
season it was supposed that there was sufficient
wheat and corn raised in Texas, or would be- to
meet the demands of its Inhabitants. Shipments to
Mobile of flour, corn, Cincinnati strychnine, (red
eye) as well as COW feed are large and have been
50 for sixty days greatly in excess of last year. If
it is cheaper truer policy for cotton planters to
pay 81 % q bushel for corn, and 81 40@1Sl 80
when delivered on plantation than it is to raise it
and sell cotton at l00s llc u d. different view is
taken Of economy than is found in our library of
knowledge. However, all this selling and buying
IN our market benefits our Western trade and we
hope that the growers and millers throughout the
West will find it to their interest to keep our mar
ket well supplied, as it has been conclusively
proven that sales are rendered more promptly,
with less attending charges than in any Northern
market. Moreover, if there is any foreign export
demand it is certain TO be made in or through our
market. 1t is the only market where cash is paid
for pnrchasesin fact, the rule is cash and no ex-
ceptons.
The mail failed again yesterday. OF course it
must continue to fail when contractors are not
forced to pay the penalty. The mail via Jackson
failed from beyond Canton. 1t is strange, too,
for we talked with old residents who arrived in
three days and a half from Richmond Va.
The steamer America from Liverpool of the 22d
will be fully due at Halifax to-day. She is slow
boat, however.
