TALK ON ,oHANaE.

There was some talk yesterday on the character Of
the advices brought by the America from Liverpool
OF the 18th inst These accounts are not encourag-
ing particularly those Of political nature, YET tee
| graphic operators may have drawn on their mncy
from the flaming heading Of the dispatches. Ine
| belief is strong that . marked decline has taken
place in cotton though the private advices Dy ING
correspondence per Asia are hopeful ana s'rons,
stating that the spnners in Manchester were making
| mora money than ever before that the demand ior
cotap warn vas steady at an advance Of rs per cent
over last wears prices These favorable views are IN
par couperscted that the consgnees Of great deal
Of Tho cotton landing in Liverpool were not in posi-
tion nor had they the ability to holds and that the
Iverpool market was subject to Manchester, out and
ont OF course, with the high estimates of the
growing crop going out by each successive steamer,
IL hardly possible that improvement or at least
an advance can be realized for the present in the
Liverpool market.
In our own correspondence we have very little to
change the above view. In fact, we learn that cot
ton, which cost in this market to 10 cts, has been
sold in Liverpool at Eve pence per lb. The most i'm
portant item at hand we received through our cor
respondent, dated
DEAR SIR have directed our agents At Liverpool
to forward you statement Of difference on wrong
marks Of cotton ex our ship, and hope something
may be recovered from somebody on our claim but
my principal object Is to call attention to growing
evil in your place (New Orleans.) If shippers Of
cotton do not look that the clerks Of the cotton
presses ship the cotton which belongs to their differ
ent lots-they will eventually have to guarantee, not
only the quantity Of cotton, bat the marks also.
Every ship with which am acquainted, discharging
in Liverpool from New Orleans, had the same diff.
Guilty and many Of them lost considerably more than
we did, the wrong cotton invariably turning out Of
inferior quality There must be cause for this and
! wish merely to call your attention to the fact,
hoping that you will find out that cause and suggest
an appropriate remedy. We know in our case that
the cotton could not have been mixed at our loading
berth, other vessel loaded cotton at the same
berth with us. Truly yours, ....
This is notifying, and severely rejecting on the
fair fame Of our city. If this were the first COM
plant, might not take great an interest in the
matter. How is it; who can inform us about the
changing and substituting of mark for another,
the placing Of inferior cotton for good that Of
better quality In fact there many complaints of
inferior cotton being substituted for that Of better
qualty-bales Of light weight for those of greater
weight. It is Notifying in the extreme for us to
think that these charges are correct and founded
facts. We have not space nor time to 60 into any
lengthy review of these charges they come from
the most responsible source, and it behooves the
owners and proprietor Of all cotton presses to make
due fame and character Of our city
demands it ; honor, equity and justice, require II,
In the meantime, there is some talk, how is it that
the supernumeraries employees ofmany presses hap
pen to be shippers of cotton to Europe? 1t is hoped
this charge can be satisfactorily refuted.
The further talk on Carondelet street was the
Americas advices. It is too early in the season. OF
perhaps too late, as we are approaching the close Of
80, for foreign quotations to affect our market
Though Middling cotton of the new crop commands
IL to ia cents it only confirms the views of buyers
that it may further advance.
The receipts of the new crop this season up to last
