TALK ON CHANCE

TALK ON CHANGE
on Monday parties we're engaged with their cor
respondencc by the Persia, and with rather unset
tied weather the transactions were on limited
scale to what they were yesterday. The gather-
ings on the flags yesterday were few and far he
tween; yet the transactions in the staple were |
large. reaching between $4,000 and 20,GO0 bales. |
The chief purchases were evidently made under
the influence Of the storm Of wind and faiu which
commenced on Monday and had not ended last
evening. An impression prevailed early yester |
day that the storm was confined 10 certain cycle,
as ii were. Our impression is 10 the contrary, anu
that it las extended over great belt Of the cotton
growing section, and the damage has been inn
monsc. We were, three days since. in Madison
county, Miss, the center Of a fine cotton region.
The wind was fresh and gustful from the east,
leading to expectations of real equinox. We
left Canton at 9:25 on Monday morning. A. we
Travelled towards the city, the indications Of rain
and strong winds continued to increase After
passing Jackson, few drops Of rain began to fall
when the train arrived at Brookhaycn tths side Of
Jaekson) a smart shower had fallen and when it
arrived at Summit, the light sprinkiiRg increased
to shower. The train left Summit at the usual
hour, 45 minutes past , from that time till the
rival at the depot in the city it was a continuance
ofheayy showers Of rain, accompanied with strong
wind 1t is reasonable to conclude that the storm
has extended far in the interior and caused in
calculable damage We expect to learn that many
Of the fields Of cotton which we were viewing with
so much pleasure Monday last, are now beat
down and washed out. The fine, snowJ.loo&ng
| fields, we believe do not now exist. The storm may
have been more severe in the immediate neighbor-
| hood Of the city. We knew when it was first
experienced on Monday in the INTERIOR that it
was moving northward. Under the belief that III
calculable damage has been done, some few opera
tors went into The market yesterday and purchased
10 the extent before noted .-
The storm vas severely fcltwitlin the limits Of
tile city. The large Yc-story building in the course
Of erection for citizen Paul Tulane Wa blown
down, carrying with it the two adjoining built
ings. The new building was under engagement to
a dry-goods house at a yearly rent of sl2 600.
The front Of the building had not been erected.
Many years ago there was talk and many com.
plants made that it was not safe to carry up the
inner walls Of building and leave the front for the
last that all should be carried up together, TINS
giving the building greater strength These old
fogy views and talk have been confirmed Had
the front Of This building been carried up with the
inside walls, all would have settled together, and
the wind debarred from so strong an action on tile
inner and partition walls. We refer to the local
column for the full details Of the disaster.
The mail train the jackson road failed to
arrive yesterday morning. By telegraph yester
day evening from Amite, We learn that the up
train which left in the morning was detained
that the down train due yesterday morning hat
