TALK oH CHANGE.
Yesterday was another day Of more talking than
acting on rue CaroHdelet, unless we include the
regenerators or pavdrs-they were acting to some
purpose. Dealers IN the great staple were waiting
the adgiceB due by the America, though, Blythe
bye, all connected with the European trade were
engaged early in thA day in perusing the cores
pondence received BIZ some Of the back mails, and
with the steadily acchmnlating stocks there was
desire eginccd to Operate to any extent until the
expected advices were received The Portland
| steamer Of the 18th Che North America) will be
due to-day. While there was so much inactivity
on Carondelet street it was directly the reverse
We turned towards 1FchoupitonIaa, Poydras street
and tile leYee. There it was all hustle and inactiv
| ity. The communication with the great West ia5
generally free but the remark will not apply fully
| to the Upper Mississippi. The trade and produce
| from that great artery will be on us in full force
before many woeks pass, that is by the time the
press from the Ohio liver and tributaries is encem-
passed.
| The weather continues favorable for business.
For twenty days we have been favored with the
/ finest weather. Thaeoantry at large, particularly
through Mississippi, has experienced its effects,
and cotton has beenpushed forward to the various
Skipping depots witt aIacrity and zeal. Not, how
ever from any fears Of the effects Of the Harpers
| Ferry raid which has been taken advantage Of by
i spectators and jockeys in Northern markets to
! impress on the Manchester spnners and Liver
pool importers that The large receipts Of cotton in
1 November and DECEMBER were in the main owing
| to Harper's Ferry ignoring and coneealing tile
/ facts from the other side that larger crop than
/ last year by four hundred thousand bales was in
course Of transit to market. Possibly some of our
planters have only recently taken hold of Colonel
Wright's suggestion, and are pushing on their
crops and clearing dut their gin houses before old
/ Browns ghost cones along and sets the torch to
their bales. Perhaps this may satisfy the Colonel
about the heavy receipts since the lit OF January.
! The further talk is, That Col. Wrghts four millions
Of bales will appear some time in April, about
four months before the close Of the season. The
Colonel, in his manifesto Of last week, (Jan. ~
says:

The Colonel alindFs to the falling off in receipts
for the week cndingthe 10th January, as compared
with the same weeH last year. The receipts last
year were 76,528 bales against II ,a9l this season
4 difference for that single week Of about 6 Vet.
The fact is, if some of our cotton factors, as we
suggested yesterday, will go to Liverpool and teach
the importers and SPECTATORS of that town how to
manage Manchester, the New York operators OF
investors would be safe in their purchases and
shipments, and they would not have to call upon
Harper's Ferry as the cause Of large receipts; that
is rather too weak d string to the bow.
The further talk was Of heavy receipts. We
figured up to last evening since Friday night 6G 60(
bales, and by merilian to-day we show 5000, 900
bales as the exports, exclusive Of Memphis ship
ments, and from the details fevery Liverpool cir
cular it may be inferred that every bale of clear
cotton will be wanted, irrespective Of speculative
movements.
There was some talk that the bark Byzantine
| which was cleared lor Boston the 10Th January
with full cargo flour, still import, detained
by mandate OF thH United States Court; that thu
shippers Of the cargo thought the good vessel wa;
half way to Boston ere this, and were considerably
surprised to learn day or two since that the YES
sci was in process of condemnation or detention
The further talk WIS whether the consgnee ant
agents of the vessel are not personally responsible
to the shippers and owners Of the cargo as they
shipped under promise of immediate dispatch. Or
this point the contract and agreement for thu
freight must be taken into consideration, par
q tienlarly if the captain and agent expected thu
subsequent tronbeB would arise.

ports, to which may be added that our marke

that large purchases of groceries and Western pro
