The annual hegra has commenced, and Carondeet
street and environs are assuming the summer stan
dard. Poydras, Tchoupitoulas, New Levee and Fol-
ton streets are not so much relieved OF transient trad
ers, nor does the war news trouble the holders OF
flour, corn pork and bacon The talk Is, that prices
Of those productions may be forced up to TOO high
prices to admit OF any margin Tor profit particularly
in the lace OF the present crop, which will be pretty
extensive and possibly forced as it is not too late to
plant hundreds OF thousands OF acres Of corn through
out the rich and teemipg West, and many thousands
OF those poor unfortunate wights who have gone to
Pixies Peak hunting for dross, had better remained
where they were and raised corn and hogs Inc talk
is, that the Bulls In cotton Will nave ralying point
alter while but our opinion is at this moment That
the Manchester folks are carrying coup detat
There was some talk Of teegraphic dispatch that
Great britain mad passed orders prohibiting the ex-
portation OF grain and breadstufts. This would be
the prelude to general embargo. The way some
folks talk it would be supposed that new edict Of
| orders in council the Berlin aud Milan DEGREES
were about to be enacted over again. 1t is impossible
to oresee what France may do on one part and Great
Britain on the other, particularly ii they come to
blows IN regard TO neutral rights which the nited
States will OF course occupy the most important att
tude. Our talk commenced on Carondelet street and
cotton progressed to Poydras street and breadsuGs,
and we are led into the most important subject in the
history of nations-the rights of neutrals As we
have no time nor room to talk at length on this ques
tion, which has heretofore occupied the attention Of
the greatest statesmen we curta our talk at once on
| the point.
The accounts from above regarding the rivers and
waters are favorable. We have and may have re-
ports of rise here and there but reay precedents
are to be considered greater danger from overflow
than has already been realized need be apprehended
Arkansas and Red rivers are in low stage. The
water in the iazoo valley is being rapidly absorbed,
and the lesser tributaries above reported to be
falling one day and rising the next but in the ag-
gregate the water is declining in all directions, with
an occasona! exception.
There was also some talk of continued complaints
of false packed cotton. part Of some of the bales
OF false packed and rudulenty pressed cotton which
alluded co some time since having been received
| by the Merrimack Manufacturing Company has been
returned here this week. 1t will do well for all fact
ors and brokers to look at the trash, which can be
seen at No. "a st. Charles second story 1t will be
useless for folks to say that the swindlng packing
occurred at the cotton presses in our city, as has
been charged If there are any presses in the prac
ce of sending to plantations in the country for gin
waste seed and miserable trash to put into bales of
cotton, we should be glad to have them pointed out
This charge cannot be supported and it is suggested
to every factor who has sold rauduently packed cot
ton to refund on demand The talk is, that because
the planters name cannot be ascertaned, is too fee
Bile defense to be made by honorable men. The
question has again and again been decided by cur
Chamber of Commerce in favor of claimants; more
