TALK ON. ,CHAMGE.

The good feeling in commercial circles, whichwe
talked Of in our last, continued through yesterday
Though the day was ushered in with something Of d
northeast shower Of rain there was no interruption
to business after 3 o'clock. The rain was light !;
still, II 1t has extended over the country parishes,
1t win prove Of great benefit. It is manifest how
ever, that the close of the seasons business is ap-
preaching. The arrivals Of steamboats, are reduced
to the usual summer standard few hundred
bales Of cotton, boat load of Western produce
now and then, with few hogsheads Of sugar and d
1 few barrels of moasses, comprise the receipts at
the great steamboat landing. What change may
well be exclaimed, on our leyee from three months
| ago. The most important item Of produce at this
time Is tobacco. The receipts of the weed. though
large, do not reach the figures in quantity Of last
year. The last European advices are not regarded
as favorable for tobacco growers. The sales trans
fers and operations in the weed in this market are
secluded from the public BUYERS. as regards
prices, are silent; vendors and factors as regards
both quantity and prices, as well as sales, are
num- silent; in fact, totally oblyious about sales,
whether there have been any made or not. Well,
we dent care as long as we eschew the article in
toto. In the meantime, the tobacco trade has the
greatest advantages in low rates Of freight ID all
ports IN the world. The stock on hand. in ware.
houses and all, appears to be 81 $50 hogsheads.
which is about seven hundred hogsheads ii exces.
Of last year, which will do tolerable we'll consider

tobacco as well as in stocks1 have been contendjng
that the growers would not send their crops to

this season. This would be very unyise and n.

there would be a crop and half which Womb
inevitably cause a greater reduction in prices.
This holding on for higher prices from one season
TO another will do very well to talk of. The results
in such cases are universally to the injury and evil
Of the grower, because it would be throwing large
stocks on the market, and in case Of a money pres

the market The suppression Of the sales Of tobacco
made daily, with the prices concealed causes some
talk on the flags. If the patrons Of the weed win
suppress smoking in omnibusses and railroad cars
they can keep all the transactions private till
