The talk yesterday was varied-the day commenced
with drzzy, misty weather, such a. often prevails
at this season Of the year Folks are, however, get

Cured in general business, though the retail dry
goods and fancy shops feels its effects Bat all arti

bought and sold regardless OF the weather. Our

tiles eDcased in patent leather consequently, such
weather as we have had this week has bad very little
effect on trade and commerce, though il is not 80
favorable for vessels loading to receive cotton in rain
and mud. Our streets and thoroughfares are becom

becoming almost impossible, and it is supposed
anathemas of every variety will be hurled against
our city authorities for not keeping the streets dry
and in perfect order. It will be time enough, how
ever to talk OF bad and impossible streets when the
cost Of transporting bale Of cotton from the presses
or warehouse amounts to dollar per bale, as it
has in times heretofore. So, pardon us, gentlemen
complainants, when We say it is of no use to com.
plain The action OF man cannot control the elements
above or below.

was anxiety evinced to know the purport of her
advices. As they were received at SO late an hour
we have no time to comment on them.
There has been at times much talk regarding the
position Of New Orleans, its future destiny and
prosperity. Of course, there are thousands Of our
transient population who take great interest in its
welfare and more thousands of its permanent popu.
