TALK ON CHANGE.

At an early hour yesterday the arrival Of the Bre
men steamer New York, at New York, with English
dates to the 21st ul was announced. The accounts
Of the full operations Saturday, the 10th, and
Monday, the 2lst, under advancing prices, Middling
Orleans being quoted at I'D. The good condition Of
the cotton market was attributed, appears by two
causes-one was the peaceful tenor Of the intelligence
from the continent and the other by the advices
from this side Of decreasing receipts and lessening
estimates. The political advices may be considered
as tending towards measures which may result in .
settlement of the difficulty. We had the report
in regard to the mission of Lord Cowley to Vienna.
Scanning closely the various reports, do not dis
| cover anything to induce us to change our views.
The position of affairs on the continent is still very
critical.
On the commercial advices our market was greatly
moved yesterday. The great staple went of in .
style pleasing and satisfactory to factors and brokers,
and will prove remunerative to planters. The sales
actually exceeded 5000 bales, will appear under
the usual head and at good prices, such as ruled
last week. The financial advices are very meagre.
There is something said about consols but did not
yesterday that any factor stopped selling cotton
at IL cents to inquire the price OF them whether
they had advanced or declined but some one talked
about the consols of Pontchartrain Railroad
having about as much effect on our market as the
other-just about.
The advces from New York give information Of q
furor in cotton in that market The sales reaching
for the week ending the 10th to 10000 bales being
the largest business ever done for one week in that
Market Most Of the sales were of cotton in transitu

has recently received large addition to his beauti-

away magnificent presents Of this ware and of fancy

According to the above figures, the value OF
cotton produced in the United States will amount to
two hundred and ten millions Of dollars-that is, the
crop of 1858 will produce that sum, aud perhaps
more, provided there are 3,S000O0 bales raised. We
invite from those who differ to send us their views,
not in anonymous manner. Let it be understood
that do not endorse the above figures so far as
they apply to this year, 1S5S59. The figures Of last
year are recorded facts. We expressed our opinions
and gave figures last October the crop of 1858.
