TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 10, lseo,
TALK ON CHANGE,

1t is almost unnecessary to talk of what trans
pred yesterday on our flags. A Monday forenoon
towards the summer solstce cannot offer anything
for comment, particularly as good many fre-
quenters of the flags were prevented from making
their appearance from the non.arriyal of the sea.
coast shore packet at the usual hour yesterday
morning. 1t appears the boat, instead of coming
orgoing ahead concluded to investigate the virtues
OF mud bank or sand bar in Biloxi Bay, for which
purpose a delay of twelve hours was required
therefore, good many of the habitues of the flags
were prevented from appearing yesterday. 1t
was dull day yesterday; yet early in the fore
noon the arrival of one of the militia steamers
from Liverpool was announced in the St. Lawrence
bringing dates from Liverpool to the 9Th and 7th
insts. They are not encouraging, though the &C.
counts from Manchester and other manufacturing
districts said to be favorable; but these dis.
patches are only say-so dispatches. We have for
some weeks past observed great discrepancies be.
tween the Manchester accounts forwarded by tele-
graph and the private correspondence. In some
respects they the very antpodes Of each other.
1t will be very unsafe to base large transactions on
the very meager accounts at hand by the Bohe-
mian. In fact, there is too much hide-and-seek in
the dispatches received over the wires. Very little
credence is given them by the old school mer-
chants, but the young folks are at times led away
on the 4" hurra" order. However, as we have be-
fore remarked, there is very little of the great
staple, the King, on hand for sale at this moment;
therefore, If MiddIing Orleans should descend to
3d., it will have very little effect on our market or
on this side, beyond, perhaps jeopardizng some
exchange. The losses on cotton, which are now
calculated at from $40 to SIS per bale, will not fall
our factors nor on the planters. But these large
losses will, in all probability, seriously cripple
many Of the middle men as well as the Liverpool
importers. Talking of cotton brings up the pur-
chases of last Saturday-over 5000 hales--being
made for account of Georgia operator that IL,
the name under which the purchases were made
designated the 81 Georgia gentleman Well, we
don't care who comes here to buy cotton-Geor-
gians, South Caronians, New Workers, New Eng
land manufacturers, the subjects of Victoria Mr..
Crapeau, the Queen Of Spain, the Sultan Of Turkey
or the Khan Of Tartary. Though vendors eonjure
who the buyers are, they do not care whether it is
the d" Gentleman in Black" so long as they get
the quid pro quo' when called for.
The general freight market has been rather
strong and firm for some days past-Ad. per pound
for cotton to Liverpool is now asked. There is
not half the number of vessels in port to-day that
there was last year at this time. Talking of
freight brings up the rate from New York hither
per barrel and foot. The ship Hemisphere, 1923
tuns, was taken up in New York to load there for
this port at $4,000. She had been previously char
tered by that very doubtful society, the Cooniza-
ton Society, to carry back some of the negroes at
Key West, say for So 600 Better dispense with all
this expense and foolery, and hire the negroes out
in the South for their life time, where they will be
taken care of much better and more interest taken
in them than BY sending them to Africa. Well, the
owners of the good ship Hemisphere have acted
wisely in eancelling contract regarding the wild
Africans.
1t was dull on the leyee yesterday; in fine, it
was dull everywhere, except with the ice-dealers,
importers of ice and ice-house proprietors-they
are reaping harvest. We observe that some
company in New York offers to sell and deliver on
shipboard 10000 tuns of ice at 81 SO per tun.
Here in this good city we pay l4c. per pound flor
the 100 pounds Whether it is profitable busi-
ness at that price we cannot say, but presume
there is nothing lost
The weather continues telerably warm-that is,
the flags hold and retain their heat There were
some light showers of rain in the country on Sun
day. We are not yet altogether forgotten by the
great dispenser of events. We hope for some
further kindness of the same nature during the
week
