TALK ON CHANGE.


1t was lively and animatng yesterday on our great
thoroughfares- -Tchoupitoulas Poydras, New Levee
and environs-all were in state of briskness. The
receipts Of produce during the week from the great
West have been free. Good prices have been realized
and it is hardly necessary to add that those prices
have been paid in cash. In looking sales of pork
and lard in New York and Boston, notice sales Of
Western pork lard in terces and barrels and beef on
four months credit. What would Western traders
say il these articles were sold in this market on so
long credit? Then we observe sale in Boston of
800 hogsheads New Orleans prime sugar at 74@74c.
on six months credit. What would sugar planter
say if he rendered sales of sugar by his factor in
this city six months credit? The talk is, that the
factor might withdraw from business. Then, we
notice the sales of cotton in New York and Boston
ninety days and four months credit Well, if factor
on Carondeet street any other street to sell
cotton on credit of ten days special, he might close
his office. The talk is there is no better market
this continent for growers and producers than this
market of the Crescent City, 1t is cash, cash, from
the commencement of year to the end thereof
The sales for the week foot up fully $4,000 bales
at good prices. The America had not arrived at
Halifax at the dates OF our last advices. General
Wright, in his last circular from New York, has en-
of cotton now at all the ports are about the figures
he commenced plying the Liverpool market last
September, 100000, or in one or two instances
100000. The talk is, that three and quarter mil
lions will be reached in the returns on Wednesday
next. This OF course, will settle all wagers made on
three and half millions, which are estimated at
from fifty to sixty thousand dollars. Some think
much more.

ceived from the mouth Of the river yesterday. The
fresh westerly wind for the last thirty hours will les
sen the water Of the bar yet vessels are working over
after fashion. There are some mysterious remarks
about the large ship 4. NJ Hayes being placed the
bar designedly. No specific charges are made, but
sidetalk indicates she would make good blockade.
Parties interested have written down to the COM
nander for information regarding the draught of
water of his ship 1t is manifest that there will be
no immediate relief from the distractions for the pre-
| sent A few days will make all known. We can
however, only hope for partial amelioration in the
present state Of affairs In the meantime, one thine
is confidently predicted, that ship owners will no
send any of their large vessels here this
What effect this will have freights will appear
the season progresses.
There was further talk regarding a new line, or al

parties think that competition lines may infuenc,
movements at the mouth of the river. In the mean
time there are inquiries made, who has taken the
Government proposals or contract?" On this poin
there is very little to be said 1t is of no use what
ever to depend on the General Government. The
officers have their duties defined by Law in all con
tracts and disbursements. II anything is to be ac
complished at once, merchants must put thei
own shoulders to the wheel.
We have, as usual, to say the mails fail daily b.
both routes. The Asa's mails will be due to day
The America was not announced at sunset last ever
ing. Baron Cunard having been Knighted, be is i
no hurry now.
