TALK ON CHANGE.

TALK ON CHANGE.
The weather was warm yesterday and the shady
sides OF the Streets not any particular stree
sought There were some congregations on the
corners Of Carondeet street and environs, and the
talk was somewhat enlivened by the different views
entertained regarding the cotton crop of 1858. 1t
would hardly be supposed that the infability of fig.
ures would be doubted, but there are some parties
who cannot reconcile the figures Of even 100000
bales as staring before them. with neighbor, the
Price Current posting up to 1914 900 bales with the
Florida receipts up to the 18th inst. only and which
on the goth three thousand bales in excess for
the last week. sending the total receipts at all the
ports up to 3,5772O0 bales. IF these figures will not
crowd 100000 by Wednesday the sth of June, (the
FIRST week in that montb) very close we shall be dis
appointed As regards the price or value Of cotton,
we have never talked much Of that, for il buyers
paid l5 cents per pound, much the better for the
cnltivator. We placed our views on the quantity
raised last year, or the receipts from the 1st Septem
ber, 1858, to the 3ls August 1859. and without any
more conab we leave the nsares as stated by US in
January, at 3750OO0 bales which quantity is nearly
at light, and three months of the commercial year to
pass to increase the quantity embracing renewed esti
mates Of $4,000 bales In October last we wrote
average price of ii cents predicting at the same
time, say on the 18th October, crop Of 100000
bales, and maintaining our views the entire season
and believing towards the close Of December that We
were under the mark, we, in January, raised our
views to 3,75000O. For maintaining these figures
boldly and fearlessy, some parties who commenced
at 3,250000 bales, now have the presumption to
charge with bearing down on the market. The talk

controverted? 1t is well known that there are many
thousand bales OF cotton under the tenters, which
we much regret. We had no hand in creating the
war in Europe and causing the panic in the Liver.

9Th of May, no than had in raising 375o 600

estimating the stock of cotton in Liverpool, on the
first of next month, of over six hundred thousand
bales. Possibly, if we had talked of this large stock

been charged as Bear. In the meantime, we ex.

There was some talk of some cotton bills on New
York being in jeopardy, as ng from suspension in
that city last week. which appeared to have escaped
the telegraph operators The talk is, of some thou
sand bales of cotton being involved. There also
talk of the arrest and detention Of the Tehuan-
tepee- Companys steamer Coatzacoaeos, some
privileged claims, though general creditor has

pany are not in that condition which lead to an early
adjustment of the difficulties though telegraphic ad
vices of yesterdays date led to the hope that all ex
change will be provided for. The steamer, however
ought to have been permitted to have departed. il

"THE BATTLE OF ARNAGEDpoN.s-Th expounders
Of the mysteries of prophecy have changed the bat
tle-feld of Armageddon," the great conflict pre-
dicted in the Apocalypse, and which the savans de
cided was to come of in the valley of the Mississippi
and to be desperately contested that the Father
OF Waters would run red with the blood of men. The
locality of this famous engagement is now defiuitel,
transferred to Europe. Rev. DR.. 8. II. Cox, having
discovered that that is the place, after all, and that
the time of its occurrence is at hand. In series
of letters to the American Presbyterian the learned
gentleman proves, very much to his satisfaction
that the present troubles in Europe will wind up III
| the real and unmistakable battle of "Armageddon.'
Perhaps it is time enough to call attention to the full
| fment of prophecy after it occurs, for he who pre-
diets il assumes prophetic wisdom himself.
