WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 2s, 1860.
TALK ON ,oHANGE.

1t was very quiet on the flags Of rue Carondelet
and environs yesterday. The weather was rather
unpleasant attended with raw, northeast wind
rather chilly at times something In unison with the
general market which moved along with very little
animation. There was no falling off in the gather
ings on the flags, and many Of the habitnes took
things very calmly and composedly. True, Bear
about shedding its coat would pop along and make
flying remark- that the crop was all in-not fifty
thousand bales of cotton in the country to come to
market. The talk is that it makes great differ
ence whether an operator has some few thousand
bales already on the way to market or whether he
wants to extend operations. The receipts at all
the seaports up to last evening footed up 4,04oo00
bales. We already are receiving accounts from
the country of very fine weather for preparing and
planting for the present seasons crop. Are not
these favorable feelings or accounts prematures
We suggest that we get through with the receipts
and crop Of 1859 before talking Of the production
Of 1860. The producing powers of the great South
west arc fully understood; but II Is too soon to
talk Of ls60-'61.
There is marked falling off in the general move
ments on the great landing or leyee. 1t is, how
ever brisk and active there as usual at this sea-
son. The numerous crowds Of visitors who have
been sojourning here during the season are de-
clinng rapidly. Every boat leaving takes geodly
number, and iaunts to Europe are in course of pre-
paration. There is an immense amount Of business
to be transacted before the season closes. The to-
bacco trade or the bulk of it, has to be transacted.
The sugar and moasses transactions falling off
daily, and II will not be many weeks before the
| numerous body Of gimlet rangers will be seeking
the country air. The freight market fell off yester
| day. There were engagements ofcotton freight
to Liverpool at considerable redccs.on from last
weeks figures, notwiths anding there is larger
stock Of cotton on hand to find market than ever
before known and less number of vessels to carry
| it to market. Freights declining and exchange
falling, about balances the variation; though there
was talk the flags that cotton, freights and ex
change all declined and money went up-rather an
anomalous occurrence in one thirty-six hours.
| On Tchoupitoulas, Poydras and New Levee
streets, and the general locality of the Western
| trade, as much or more business as usual for the
season is going on in fact, there is larger demand
for Western produce for Georgia, Florida and Texas
! than ever known before. The great West can send
| forward the contents Of its graneries and ware
| houses with prospects Of COED sales, prompt re-
turns, paid In the best Of currency. No better ex-
| lists in the broad commercial world.
| We take from the Charleston Courier of the 23d
the following table of receipts to date and the
receipts weekly for the season after the 1st April
last year (s59), which possesses great interest al
| this moment.
