New Orleans daily crescent., 1860-09-17
TA1.KloM tCHANGE.

v},e gatherings and confabs on Saturday were ali
on fta inside order. The heavy storm OF rain and
Wind rnled supreme, and the daily conventions of
cotton sellers and cotton buyers, or would-be buy
rs- at law nriees with the usual interchanges OF
onin;ons about crop, its extent, aud 80 on, we're
oon esi. In fact, Saturday was real stormy day !;
nevertheless. there were some operators in the
,reat staple desirous of showing their confidence in
tbe future who went ahead, which resulted in
larger sales for the day than we have had to record
for some time past. Our own views are, now
can II be expected that cotton should meet with
veady demand that factors can make speedy and
ronid sales in the absence of the usual buyers,
speculators and operators, who seldom appear on
,be flags till after the first of November. More
over. there are many complications of last seasons
transactions to be considered, worked off, cleared
nm before any stability, steadness and regularity
can attend the great cotton trade OF our emporium.
There has been some talk that our banks are
varv seratinizng in exchange dealings; that mana
gers are very sensitive, and hesitate to take bills
with the freedom that ought to pertain to conf.
dence in the future.
There was some intimation that the rates OF
freiehts had given way, but it only proved to be
for filling up lots of cotton, which were taken al
3D. 1t appears that wheat is taken at ll@l2d. pei
busbel to England from here, which is less rates
xhau current in NewYork at last dates, which were
12nlSd.. and 4s ca. per barrel for flour. We have
adyices of about eighty vessels being on the way
bither. There will, however, be several time
eighty in number required during the season. TIT
Black Republicans in Maine aud Massachusetts, are
however hard at work building vessels for freight
ing purposes.
= There are some inquiries regarding the line o
screw steamers, which vas SO much talked of las
spring. We have not heard anything regarding
for some time; in fact, the project has been en-
tirely forgotten on our flags. The very limite
amount of subscription the part of our CON
munity held out no encouragement to the project
ors of the line, and though it has been brute
about that the line might go into operation alto
gether on British capital and British energy, yet
is question of great doubt.
There has been much talk about the harvest
in Great Britain, and q probability, not a PR
liability but reality, which will attend shol
harvest. that is, dear money.
The following remarks we give as the talk 0
the flags of the town or borough of Liverpool;
The talk was, that apprehension for the harvei
is becoming intense that there is no Disgusting til
fact that things look very bad that q short Gro
NAV be taken for granted, and that a short crop
always followed by dearness; that deafness dmil
ishes consumption; that trade, as thing
course, will then languish; that dull trade int
feres with confidence, and that want OF COM
depce always pre6edes panic.
The further talk was that the first chain in th
argument Ii too feeble to sustain what follows
that it is great mistake to suppose that an a
