TALK ON CHANGE.

Il TALK ON CHANGE.
There are many citizens returning from their
summer jaunts, and appearing on the flags of
Garondelet, have increased the gatherings on
the corners, yet the liveliness and briskness of
q full crowd are wanting.
The Chief talk is of the King ''what is the crop
going to e?f is asked about ten dozen times,
daily, among the few habitues of the flags. II ap

Their talk of the probable wants of our very good
customer, (by compulsory MIR. Bull. Private let
tiers, recentlyreceved, say thatf they in Lancashire
can depend upon crop this season, ls6o-'6l, of
four millions Of bales, ,000,0O0) they will, with
| the five (5) months supply, show bold front as
regards prices, and that the manufacturers will
| contend strong against the market in Liverpool
going to I'd. ....
| Our cotton market has something not generally
taken into consideration by planters and growers
at large; that is, the costs of transporting cotton
| to Euope--the rates of freight. The shipping in
| terest, it appears, is moved by the prospective
large wants of grain and breadstufs in Europe; so
| much so, that they are debating their own terms
and rates in the great mart, New York-l2d. to
13d. per bushel freight wheat and corn to Eng
land. The rates in our market, New Orleans, are
no higher; that is the last engagements. The
rates Of freight on cotton are comparatively much
higher with US than in New York. The present
rates-ll-l6d. to Liverpool for cotton, and Ice. to
| Havre-is an advance on the rates Of last year at
this time; if the other 18th is exacted, making 4d

trade. True, exchange rules high. and is readily

Il There was some talk about tobacco. There is
md
The accounts from the tobacco growing regions in
Kentucky and Tennessee are far, very far from
favorable. The loss from drouth and other casu-
alites is placed at from onethird to one.half that
last season. In the meantime, the talk is that the
stock or quantity unsold in Virginia is large. The
stock in this market is estimated at 10000 hhds.,
i with light arrivals from day to day. The contract
with the Spanish Government was awarded on the
18th ult., at Madrid, to Spanish house. We are
not permitted by our informant to publish the
price, but it is price that will pay something
more than five (5) per cent, provided the weed
does not materially advance in our market One
of our heavy New Orleans houses is reported to
have taken an interest in the contract
Now, then, we must chronicle little of the latest
talk from the Liverpool flags. Here it is, received
from the Africa it is just as good as though it had
come through oroverin three days and three hours.
Grain spectators throughout the country can
make note of it. 1t is from the Liverpool flags
of the 18th ult:
Awful. The rain will not cease. The sun is a
delusion and o snare. Twice this week it shone
out assuringly, but again took refuge in Shower.
The poor farmer pursued goddess and embraced
cloud and the spirits of men are as damp as the
earth The talk was, that it is useless to conceal
the fact that the harvest will be deficient one
that the crops have been Frustrated by the storms
of the week. that the very strength of the straw
is against the wheat and barley rising; that their
heavy heads, saturated with wet, keep them
down; that the Ttpening process had not gone far
enough to warrant shearing that the lying down
is not in favor OF ripening; that a late harvest
might be good one, but that lateuess should be
accompanied by fine weather that an after sum
mer might do better than early one, but that
the chance is now against late summer; that ap-
prehenson is now natural, and that as at best only
an average yield was to be expected, the promise
now is decidedly under an average.
The further talk was that there is really as yet
nothing to fear; that the has not after all,
been altogether untayorable; that in Liverpool we
have had more than our fair proportion of rain;
that IN many places the weather has been delight
ful that in Wales, for instance the farmers
had such crops; that the hay has been redundant,
the cereals magnificent; that in South Wales they
, have large portion of the crops cut down; that
in CORNWALL AMI parts of Devonshre aud Glouees-
tersre, the granatles already full that in Ire
L land the prospect is SO good that people have
ceased to complain; that the potato rot even is

Well, our good readers must put the above IA
vorable talk with the unfavorable advices already
received or purportng to be received. The potato
rot is even doubted.
We have given both the Bear ond Bull sides, and
! our numerous readers can assume results.
The weekly coffee circular from Col, LonsdaIe a.
Sons, will be found under the usual head. The

we learn that the present crop il of prime quail

the very best. The price of the berry is well
maintained, 15c for fair will pay the importers y
good profit.
i The Northern mail via the Jackson railroad
) that is, from Philadelphia and New York-faed
! yesterday from beyond Chattanooga, Tenn. This
is the second failure this week BY the way of this
route, but Is not owing to any neglect or want of
connection on the part of the Jackson railroad as
the trains and connections on this road were full
and complete, as passengers who left New York on
Monday arrived on Thursday evening It is highly
gratifying to hear of the talk in favor of our Jack
son railroad. Our citizens returning express them
selves that there is no such other we'll conducted
