TALK ON CHANGE.

Up to meridian yesterday 1t was remarkably
quiet on the flags; in fact, the flags rue Caron-
delet are taken up--payers and stones appear to
be paramount just at this moment. In fact, with
an occasional opening, there is no space whatever
between Canal and Perdido (not perdition) streets
for the usual confabs, excepting space from
above Union street. The talk Is, that some pre-
Iminary movements were astr for the purchase OF
one of the lots of ground forming one OF the
corners of Union and Carondelet streets, for the
purpose Of erecting building for of the banks
This will be a very good location for bank, as
business will be moving up Carondelet street every
year. With the increasing business over the Jack
son Railroad, and large attraction via the Car
rolIton and Jefferson Railroad, Carondelet street
will be q very central locality after while There
is some talk now and then of removing the Bank of
Louisiana up town. What good or what advantage
would result from this movement? The old Ajax
is doing good business, which pays the stock
holders r get per annum, and win not pay any
more by moving up town moreover, it has now
one Of the most commodious and best adapted
banking houses in the United States SO some of
the old folks say they will not listen to any sugges-
tons about moving, in which we concur.
After meridian, say about ! o'clock, it was

eral market as very firm in regard to cotton, with
many divers accounts, such as the advance in the
rate Of interest by the Bank of England, and de-
