TALK ON CHANGE.

very favorable for our sugar planters. The rain Of
Thursday was the first of any Importance which
has fallen since the great storm of the I'd October
The gatherings on the flags were numerous, and
good feeling prevailed in all circles.
The talk is that there are many persons repre-
senting Black Republican houses in New York
now arriving daily in midst, with the intent Of
soliciting business in the way Of consignments to
their friends in New York and Boston, These gen.
try do not keep any regular office. They may have
a room for lodging purposes by the month; posi-
bly, to create an impression of greatness, they may
dine daily at the ST. Charles or City Hotel. They
may open an account with one of our banks, to
which they may refer butwe think the bank would
rather be excused in most cases from reference
Then, again, many of these come to-day and go-to.
morrow merchants they assume to be merchants)
represent the most rabd Black Republican ship
owners, such as Moses H. Grinnell, Charles H
Marshall & Co. and Whtlock, of New York. Some
contribute to our State and city revenues, when
called on. We have yet to learn that any of them
voluntarily call on our City Treasurer or the col
lectors of taxes on behalf Of the State. The talk
is, among old resident Taxpayers that they do
not desire to see so many of these nontax-paying
folks about, dealing in this that and the other.
The further talk was of the activity in the great
staple. The sales yesterday and the day previous
amounted to twenty-five thousand bales. If buy
ers had taken the precaution to have ordered some
few thousands Of gold, they would have saved
largely In exchange. As it would be an innovation
on the customs Of former years to import gold to
purchase cotton, it is not likely that this season
will be an exception. The importing Of corn fall
ing on buyers and dealers in exchange, there was
some talk of large sums having left New York
yesterday for this place via the Jackson Railroad,
which we may have occasion to acknowledge the
receipt of about next Tuesday, though some is ex-
pected to arrive on Sunday.
1t was active On the grand Levee yesterday In
and about the sugar depot we noticed good stocks
Of sugar and molassea. The gimlet rangers ap-
peared to be in better humor than usual. The
favorable change in the weather was encouraging
exhilarating in respects. At the cotton land
ing, the usual Fridays hustle and business were
observable. At the upper steamboat landing
the valued argosies from the great West were dis
charging their great and varied cargoes. On Poy-
dras, New Levee and TchoupitouIas streets, the
dealers and traders in Western products were
lively making sales, of course, from hour to hour
They were all prepared for secession and a South
pork cannot be seeded from, and convinced that
good supplies will come to this great cash market
whether Louisiana remains in the Union or goes
out of the Union.
The receipts Of cotton for this week are up to
those of last week, and with the good weather for
the last four weeks it is confidently believed we
shall have at least heavy receipts for the entire
month-2S0 900 bales for this month will be DEEM
ed heavy receipts, perhaps not extraordinarily
heavy, but sufficient to keep the wheels of com
merce moving. The receipts for the week ending
last evening at clock foot up as follows:

There have been very light transactions in the
weed this week. The receipts are light, but the
local consumption shows falling off. 1t is talked
of that the French Governments contract will be
given'out within sixty days In the meantime, the
frost accounts are regarded with some interest.
Mr.. Jack Frost has great many deeds of omission
and commission to answer for,
We have heard of sale of long staple cotton,
which was raised in Mississippi at the very high
price of % cts u b. Well, if Mississippi can cul,
tivate any quantity Qesser Or greater) of cotton
that will command this price, she need not be
under any apprehensions about following South
Carolina
The following figures give the receipts of cotton
this season at Macon, the most important inland
town in Georgia:

The usual weekly circular of coffee from Col.
Lonsdale, Son & Co., will be found in the usual
column. There is great falling off in the receipts
this season from last season. The accounts for
warded to London from Rio direct represent the
crop this season as large. These advices come in
conflict with advices received here. We shall pro-
baby know more about it before the close of the
month Of March. In the meantime, those that
want Prime Rio coffee will have to pay the very
prime figures of Is cts. y ib wholesale.
The great Northern mail failed again yesterday
from beyond the Grand Junction. This junction is
becoming well noted in mail and commercial cir
cles. 1t is useless mere than to remark that the
English mails by the Europa up to the Goth have
not come 50 hand, and that dates of Monday last
were due yesterday from New York.
DISCOVERIES OF MARL,-The planters in one sec
tion Of South Carolina are having "marl fever,
as it is termad-hunting for mari beds, which have
been found in many places A correspondent of
the Charleston Courier says that the rage for mari
beds has become epidemic. The mari is in the
form generally known as green sand and white
shell. Lands in she section have risen enormously
in price. One gentleman who two years ago paid
enc dollar per acre for plantation, has lately
been offered twenty. The mari is highly priced as
q fertilizer.

marine losses for the past month comprises 81 yes
