WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER S, 1859.
TALK ON ,cHANGE.


The talk for two days past has been that general
trade does not move along with that briskness and
livelness the position Of affairs would seem to war
rant, that is, from the fine hygenian state Of the
city the large stocks Of produce and the redundancy
of money. However, it is best not to move too fast.
The receipts of cotton continue on a large scale,
which, with the daily arrivals OF steamers from the
great West keep part of the cvee toerably crowded
The talk is, that some Of the correspondence from
Northern cities give rather queer views as regards
cotton, talking of Middug in Liverpool receding to
Gd. The Chinese war, the troubles in China, are
regarded with some fears that large quantities OF
cotton from Bombay for the China market will be
diverted to England The receipts Of cotton continue
on free SCALE The weather continues favorable for
picking and drying. As usual, there are complaints
from some sections of drouth and greatly deficient
crops in others that there is more cotton raised
.hen again, we have boasting and exulting accounts
from planters Of how much cotton Jack picked in
day; how much little jim gathered, and what a
grand days work little Dolly performed in picking
four hundred and seventy pounds in nine hours.
These accounts, however, tend to create the impress
sion among the Bears that the present crop will be
something above an average. In the meantime, there
was some talk about sugar. There is no talk of any
grinding of cane as yet, though on the 20th septem
ber last year there received at the levee three
hogsheads of new crop.
Some days since we published letter from Europe
regarding losses in weight Of cotton, the deficiency
in quality the substitution of cotton of good quail
ity for an inferior grade. We publish under our
monetary head an extract from a Liverpool paper.
We have also been furnished with the following ex-
tract Of letter recently received from Liverpool,
which confirms the great abuse heaped on ship
ton, it says: "The ship c. W. had TO pay els on 8
bales of cotton which she landed without marks (say
S90) to correspond with her bills Of ladpg The ship
Forest King had to pay EGO on Is bales" This is
occasioned by the bad markings, and Of cottons
covered So it appars that in one of these cases the
reclamations which were made were laid to the man
ner in which the cotton was marked.
The telegraphic lines sometimes does wonders.
Day before yesterday received information that
ship was in bad condition ashore at the Southwest
Pass; yesterday another ship on the bar. In both
instances no names of the vessels are furnished.
The talk is what has become Of the channel; is it
already filed up? There were ISL and 10 feet of
water last month, as eynced by the droughts Of the
ships Levi Woodbury. and orizimbo
The mails came through yesterday regular for the
first time in twelve days, we believe, via the Tennes
see and Virginia route. The European mails by th e
Asia will be due this morning. They will come by
instaments, possibly the same those by the Ara
bia, the first OF which we received on Thursday last
and the last on yesterday 1t is about time for our
community to take further action on the California
mails, ..
