TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH Is, 1860.
TALK ON CHANGE.

Il
The week opened yesterday with fine weather,
but 1t was not attended with anything remarkable
in commercial circles. Towards meridian II was
announced that the Niagara, with dates from Law
srpool to the 25th ult had arrived at Halifax Inc
adyices in regard to cotton do not vary from ex-
pectations. As usual, the dispatches are headed
with the flaming capitals of the price OF consois.
Telegraphic operators must think that the gfeat
South, and particularly the habitnes Of Carondees
street, are terribly worried about the price OF con
sols or the movements of the old !" grandmarm
on Threadneedle street. Our old factors and cot
ton planters do not care any more about Inc quota
ton on price OF consoIs French rentes or Austrian
metalliaues, than they do about which way the
wind will blow this day twelve months. Possibly
telegraphic operators think they are forwarding
some great intelligence when they quote consois.
Well, we cantor their information and the fnan-
.cial community y-quote onr city eonsois as being
worth s3@94. Several bids were made the other
day at s2@9l. Therefore, the price Of Orleans
consols are az well supported as Mt. Bulls consois,
and they have just as much influence on the great
cotton market as British consois which Is just none
at all.
| The Niagara's advices do not denote any yaria-
| ton in the price Of cotton from Middling up
On the levee IT was active yesterday. The inter
course with the interior is open, and free from
the mouths Of the river Mississippi to the Falls Of
! ST. Anthony, on the east via the Ohio river TO
Pittsburg. and on the west via the Missouri river
We cannot say how high up, as the ice has not yet
| melted as far as the Rocky Mountains. Talking
4 about business in the West, we learn that the
money markets are tolerably tight in the principal
cities WE'LL it is toierably active along the entire
4 seven miles Of levee and landings. Cotton is
urged forward with dispatch, and the presses and
warehouses are being relieved of the large guam,
tity on storage, though the stock on sale i vel
large. The sugar depot Is well supplied, and talk
ing Of sugar brings up the following remarks OF
the saecharine, taken from the Cincinnati Price
Current of last Wednesday:

| The balance Of the article from which the aboE
is taken charges our gimlet rangers with conceal
ing the true state of the sugar market that the.
act in concert with the planters plainly intinatin
the accounts Of short crop have been fabricatedt 7
bolster up prices. They are, however, in posses
sion of our figures giving the entire crop Of yiel
of 1859 ut 22l 900 hogsheads, so dealers and cor
sumers throughout the West can at once deterniin
to what extent their trade and wants can be SUI
| piled from Louisiana.
| There was very little done yesterday in the gref
) freight market-Sd. seems to be the establishe
rate to Liverpool for cotton. Tobacco is comm
in with more freedom. The movements in til
weed, however, are confined to two or three bu,
ers. In the meantime, there is no probability
any further advance in freights that will interfei
with the tobacco trade.
From information received yesterday from Il
mouths Of the river, ii appears that the Spanish sh
Bella Eancasgonda has been toWed to sea, draS
ing 90 feet inches water. This is the number
feet the order Of pilotage calls for, say $92. Th
ship was loaded with 10000 slaves and 200 bal
: of cotton ,one Of those sharp pilot boat bu
10 vessels that draw all water under light tunnag
Whether the bars at the mouth of the river are ii
proving or not, we cannot say, but the pilota
bill for this ship called for 2Oa feet.
The mail via the jackson Railroad failed yeste
day morning, SO the placard at the office said. "
=. however, received New York paper of the Il
and have much pleasure in announcing that t
" many bags of mail matter which have been ava
- ing in the lobby are nearly all distributed, a
- papers due last month and in January are bel
y hourly delivered. For instance, onr Liverpool c
= culars and papers Of the Both December came 81
to hand yesterday.
