TALK ON ,oHANGE.

Summer inactivity ruled supreme yesterday. The
weather was unpropious for out Of door gatherings
and Carondelet street seemed partially deserted.
There is 80 little of the staple sale, that general
interest in local operations is confined to narrow
basis. There are some movements in tobacco but
they are not SO large as they might be-buyers, or
woudbe buyers talk that the market is above their
ideas. There is no lack of purchasers at low figures
Freghs are highly favorable for the tobacco trade,
and the same remark will apply to exchange. The
talk is there is just much business doing at this
time as in any previous season with the same stocks
of produce, though in respects there may have
come a blight over the prospects which were shad.

ent solar year. brought about BY the disturbances in
Europe; yet it must not be overlooked that they
were predicted, and war has come and found many
merchants and bank managers prepared, and others
that are not prepared. Though no serious results
will accrue to those who did not take in sail in due
season, nevertheless, it affords talk the street. in

in cotton depreciation in sugar. dulness in real estate,
with general depression in breadstu and provisions,

busy part of the day.
The receipts of cotton continue to decline, which
is nothing more than expected. There are some few
thousand bales detained in upper Red river by want
Of water. If there few thousand bales in other
sections the decline in price is the of its not

THE eERsrAN1c coNFEDERAT1oN.

The attention Of the whole civilized world Is now
directed TO the European war, and the query con
SANITY suggests itself whether not more than the
players At present engaged are to take hand in the
desperate game Of nations. The idea has been gene
ral that the States Of the Germanic Confedera-
ton, Of which warlike Prussia is one, could not keep
out Of the quarrel without breach Of the articles Of
defensive union entered into with Austria, another
member OF the Confederation, and which bind the
united States to defend not only Germany in its en-
tirety but each Individual State Of the union which
may be attacked. According to the expositions oil
English authorities this is the express design and
purport Of the SD article of the Treaty of Vienna
| and It would seem to preclude question and argu
| ment Is to its obligations and its proper conse
quenccs.
But there is fair loophole OF evasion, and it /.
the one through which the other States have as vel
escaped embodiment in Austris's quarrel. This ii
afforded BY another article Of the league which pro
vdes that If State Of the Confederation is attacked
or threatened in its nonGermanic possessions as il
this instance the united powers shall not be bound
to adopt common measures of defense or to take par
or assst-unless the Diet shall decide by majority
OF votes that the territory Of the Confederation is
dangercd 1t is this latter provision which is the
subject Of wranging discussion in Germany, and may

NEW YORK CRIMINAL STATISTICS.

As the happiness OF local reporters, very respect
able but much abused class is supposed to depend in
a great degree upon the number Of big items, and
their features of extraordinary atroeiy and horror
which they are daily able to collect for the delectation
OF readers on the ensuing mornings, the gentlemen
serving in that journalistic department in New York
must be considered as especially blest. When was
New Orleans reporter able to make such brave
display Of the results Of days researches as they of
the New York press were on the morning of the 7th
instant when the following was the list of captions
of as many genuine first class. horrible, absorbing
items:
Horrible Wife Murder A Boy Killed by Another !:
German Shoots the Top Of his Head off; Danger.

Woman Murder in King Street; Sailor Inhumanly
Beaten; Supposed Murder of Lady; Seven Dead
Bodies found in Box in the River A Lady Found
Floating near Fort Hamilton, Supposed to have been
Murdered.
No wonder that on seeing the above one of the
most enterprising and ambitious Of the New Orleans
reportora fraternity expressed ardent desire to
emigrate at once to where Gotham affords richer

are an energetic people; the good do good with
rush, and the bad do wrong with rush nothing is
done BY halves, but everything is carried out with
rush to Its last extreme of well ill. In New York
an individual can get poorer than he can any where
else in the nation, or richer and the records abund
antly show that more tremendous crimes and swndes
can be perpetrated there than elsewhere. A New

down to the pck-pocket.
