TALK ON CHANGE.

There were very few confabs yesterday. Here
| and there on Carondelet street might be seen a
few of the frequenters and habitues of the flags,
but they eyinced no desire to operate. They
talked little of the quantity of new crop cotton
which would be received up to the 31st inst, in
elusive: that is, up to Friday night. There was
some disappointment among the 10000 bale gentle
men that is those who believe that quantity of
new crop would be received prior to the 1st Sep
tember. The Magnolia only bringing about d
quarter of load, and the Quitman about third
of a load, or a little over, dispelled some of the
high figures, though the Charmer brought in a
good load. The Yisksburg, the Golden Age and
the Natchez, the principal boats to arrive be-
fore the close of the season. The total receipts
of new crop for this season up to last evening
were 25,37l bales.
There was some talk that the Arabias mails
from Liverpool, according to the veraeious tele-
graphic dispatches, should have come to hand
before this, as the telegraph Informed the public
under date of the 2Ist inst, that the Arabia ar
rived at New York on the goth, and that her mails
were forwarded South by the morning train of the
2lst. Great is the telegraph for misleading the
public. Moreover, here is another veracous dis
patch, either a round mistake or a lying para
graph, which appeared in the Sunday journals
Of our city, or some Of them on the 10Th:
SAILING or THE ARABIA AND X KANGAROO Boston
Ang. le.--The Cunard Royal mai steamship Arabia
left her dock to-day for Liverpool via Queenstown
We do not understand why operators displaying
SO gross ignorance should be allowed to have any
thing to do with the telegraph. This is only one
Of the many, say hundreds of untruths that are
forwarded at the cost of the Southern press. Now

Arabia sailed from Liverpool for Boston ON tie
llth Of August to stop at Halifax she was said
to have passed Caps Race on the Goth August, and
could not have been in Boston to have left on Sat
urday the 18th. Moreover, the Cunard steamers
days Of departure from this side are not on Satur
days, but on Wednesdays; therefore the igno-
rance OF the agent in this instance is more fully
exemplifed. To be explicit, we do not place the
least eredence to half the dispatches sent over the
wires to the Associated Press.
There was some talk about the drought that
though rain has fallen frequently since the 10th
inst, it has only been in spots, isolated places
that In many sections the cane is suffering, while
in others there are prospects for a good yield
We learn that in the great parish of Pointe Coupes
the cane and cotton are both past redemption
literally dried up on several plantations There
were fine showers Of rain yesterday, but they
came too late to be of any great service to the
crops.
We notice the burning at sea of the bark Cleaner,
for San Bias, west coast of Mexico, which cleared
from this port on the 30th of April with 1904 half
bales of cotton. Some of this cotton comnosed
the cargo of the ship Eliza Mallory which was
wrecked on the Florida coast last January and
brought back to this port The Cleaner took Ere
on the Fourth Of July, in the latitude Of Rio. It
appears TO be very difficult to get cargo of
cotton to San Bias. The first cargo cleared from
here was the ship Admittanee, in ls47 she was
'aptured during the war with Mexico by one of
th, United States vessels when within three DAYS
sail Y her destined port, and condemned as
prize.
