TALK ON CHANGE.


There were very few gatherings yesterday on rue
Carondelet and envirops~ Something wss said about
cotton, snd some sales we're made The great levee
and steamboat landings are the prominent points Of
attraction just at this mcment the large loads Of
cotton daily arriving form the nucleus Of immense
congregation Of the cosmopolitan population Of our
city Tchoupitoulas, Poydras, New Levee street and
environs must stand in the rear for the present,
though is impossible for the mighty machinery of
our great commerce to move without tie great ad-
Juncts OF Hour bacon, pork and other products from
the teemng West; yet, cotton 10 king at this time
and tobacco only something Of neglected satellite
The gmlet rangers quiet; majority of them are
at the sea-shore suburbs.
The estimates OF the present growing crop are con-
Mctng, while in some parishes particularly the two
below the city, the accounts fattering as we'll as
from several plantations the Lafourche and on the
Mississippi river from other sectionSthere are varied
accounts All the sugar that can be made-be the
quantity 4000sG hogsheads, or 20 per cent less-wil
be wanted at price. While talking OF sugar. we
note the arrival at San Francisco of the ship Tsar
which cleared from this port last January with $50
hogsheads sugar. This was tolerab}e long voyage
for cargo Of green sugar.
The further talk was Of the European advices by
the Europa They had NO effect on commercial
AFFAIRS yet the telegraph furnishes many extremely
doubtful items, particularly those Of political ma
ture. These are SO improbable at this moment that
they are not deemed worthy of moments conside-
ration. According to the commercial adviees, the
stock of cotton in Liverpool on the eth ut- was
65O0Oo bales against GAS 900 on the 2sth OF August
last year, of which $50 900 bales were american
against 567 900 bales last year. The present prices
in market are above the Liverpool currency At
IL cents cost here, freight 3D., exchange 100, to
cover in Liverpool 7.l5d. must be obtained, and to
pay for other small items I'D. must be realized.
We have from time to time called the attention oil
the planting community to the great inattention
given to the packing Of cotton. Sand, leaves and
trash were used to greater extent last year than
ever before.
A correspondent has furnished us with the follow
ing extract, which is taken from New York eircu
lar. We invoke the attention of all planters to the
remarks, and urge on them to remedy the evil al
once: ~.
The severe losses upon shipments of sandy cotton
during the past season, seem to demand notice
and the following positions in connection with th,
subject may be worthy of consideration.
1st-There was no sandy cotton worth mentioning
fifteen or twenty years ago, and indeed very little tel
years ago.
ed 10 ratio far beyond the crop.
3d-The cotton gin, it is believed, has been i'm
proved in this interval, or at least has not detero
rated.
4th-This mode Of adulterating cotton began in tn
New Orleans districts, but has since extended NOR
or less over the whole cotton growing area.
5th-Such cotton has become virtually unsaleable a
Liverpool, because Of its snperabnndance and whe
buyer has been found, the reduction in price ha
been twice four times as great as in the pul
chase on this side In fact, it has frequently bar
pened that the loss ten bales of sandy stuff in
lot of one hundred, has much more than counter
balanced the profit upon the ninety.
6th-Sandy cotton is destructive to machinery, fc
though all cotton is cleaned before it is spun up son
particles Of sandy dust will remain and greatly il
crease the wear and tear Of axles, etc. hence mar
/ spinners will not buy it at any price.
Under these circumstances, we presume, the rer
. through the purchasers of cotton, and it must
papable to them, that if they fail to apply it, ths
will not only damage their own interests, but IL
true interests of the planter. Let them, therefor
positively refuse to have tails of sandy and dir
cotton forced upon them by the factors in buyir
round lists, and decline to purchase sandy cotton
ALL except at the fullest reduction in price, which
" superabundance has compelled them to concede
| Liverpool and elsewhere and let all importers
Europe frame their orders to this country upon sin
lar principles. They may, for time, be obliged
pay relatively higher price for the clean qualitie
but they will soon bring the evil of adulteration wi
n sand to an end.
Liverpool is now fuller of sandy and dusty, al
lie therefore, almost unsaleable cotton, than beor
p and it remains to be seen what further reducti
there will be in the price of such stuff, when u
n s cleaner qualities of the new crop become abunda'
