WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY is. 1850.
TALK ON CHANGE.

4
4 The gatherings were numerous on Carondeiet
street yesterday; in fact, all great thorough
| fares were crowded. On Tchoupitouas and Poy
| dras streets there were some signs Of languor
occasioned by the interruption Of intercourse witt
the great West, though the Ohio river Is reported
to be clear Of ice. On the great leyee there was
considerable activity, particularly below Canal
street, where the boats from Red and Ouachita
rivers do congregate, as II were. The great sugar
depot is not overburthened with the saccharine.
The grand boulevard Canal il taken possession oi
by the PAYERS, the regenerators, and the inconse-
niences of broken mp streets are now TO be ex-
perienced by the occupants and pedestrians Pc
tween Chartres and Royal streets. It s on Caron-
deet street that the best share Of the talk Is to be
realized. II Is being invaded and encroached on
BY crinoline The habituGs thereon will not be ne
cesaitated to 60 to Canal street to pass remarks
and comment ON feet and ankles, as well as the
size Of hoops and long dresses. In fact Carondelet
street is making rapid strides for monopozing all
the cotton, all the talk, q good share Of the ex-
change which does not meet salesn other localities,
with good deal to say about stocks and bonds
and OF many brokers in the discount line. After
reaching the highest niche in the pinnacle Of fame,
it is to be daily invaded by hoops and crinoline!
There was an effort to raise little talk about
Tehuantepec but 1t tnrned out something Of fzzle
It is of no use to talk about Tehuantepec; it can
not be resusctated for the present, and parties to
1t, either in the way Of claims, stock, or holders Of
bonds, may as well follow the course Of the banks
(Which desire to add TO the trade and prosperity
of city, enter all accounts up to profit and loss
and await the change in the general affairs Of the
company which ts friends think is ndt far distant.
OF course there was something said about cotton.
The receipts show q falling off at Charleston and
Savannah for the last week; yet the increase at
Charleston up the 18th inst. over the correspond
ing time last year, is 4,522 bales. The increase
at Savannah il 81 1865 bales. From the accounts
received, not the figures, it has been generally
supposed that there would be large decrease or
falling off in sea islands. From figures before us
the boot is the other leg and the increase about
20 3ct. over last year. The receipts proper at this
port now reach 100000 bales. 1t can well be
assumed that the figures of 1000 600 for this port
will be attained, or very closely approximating
thereto. falling off in receipts will take place
from all the shipping points on the Mississippi
river; in fact, the decline is now manifest Bad
roads and difficulty Of hauling cotton to the several
shipping points are to be taken into consideration
both by river and railroad. Those large loads Of
from three TO four thousand bales are over for this
season; SO the Bears can take the talk into con-
sideration. The irmness of factors in this market
appears to have great weight and influence in other
markets, for we frequently observe that prices in
market are referred to as the criterion Of other
markets. We shall, in all probability, know the
r Al
steamer Of Saturday, the 4th proximo say in
thirty days from this date. The st OF February IL
the day thar the Bears predict Middiing Orleans
will rule in Liverpool at gid. Mnfs, nous tei3.ons
By the talk Of some Of the Grizzly or Rocky Moun-
tain Bears it might be inferred that some folks and
several noneyed Institutions were bound 10 lose
millions Of dollars on cotton and exchange. But it |
is evident there many would-be Bears waiting
for the good time coming,' which is now about
as far off as it was last October.
The next steamers due from Liverpool are the |
City Of Baltimore at New York. of the 4th inst. ;
the AnglosaSon, Of the same date, for Portland. |
The next Gunard or the steamer Of the 7tt, will
probably be the Africa for New York.
There were no mails received direct at our Post
Office yesterday. We look for at least two mails
per week when the Florida route is in operation |
We learn if Congress ever organizes, this route
will assaredly go into operation. TIE more the I
merrier.
