TALK ON CHANGE.

lALh ON 'CfdANIEs
Preceding the usual congregations on the flags
was slight drizzling sort of rain, which gave
ominous indications of dull day, and such it
turned out to be, though the clouds went a.fying
about meridian, followed by beautiful sunshine,
characteristic of the sunny South. The weather,
however, was far ahead of general business. There
were many parties desirous Of baying cotton will
ing to take every bale offered at prices from 95@
10 cents, but unfortunately they had no means to
pay for it, The general exchange market, on
which so much depends, was at dead lock. As
for gold, the buyers for the English market have
not come prepared with it; consequently, they
cannot move, neither to the right or to the left.
There was general inquiry of this purport, "What
is the news from NewYork?' The question could
not be readily answered, because New Workers had
not got to work at late hour yesterday being the
first of the week. To-day the question, " What Is
the news from New York - may be answered.
Confound NewYork. We are tired of the everlast-
ing remark. There are inquiries Of the following
import: What will Congress do will South
Carolina 60 through?n As regards what Congress
will do, why it will just do nothing at ALL because
it cannot move. As regards South Carolina it is
an idle question to put, "Wil it 60 through" The
talk is, that it will 60 through, and six sovereign
States with it.
Our marine register yesterday and to-day denote
numerous arrivals Of rich argosies from the interior
and the great West. The receipts Of cotton alone
from Saturday morning up to last evening foot up
28,7ls bales. There are loads of sugar and mo-
lassea, with the almost nnmberless products from
the great West, all being landed at one and the
same time on our great leyee, presents very
lively, brisk and animating scene. Nothing to be
compared with it at this time in any other mart in
the United States, and doubt if it is equaled in
the great metropolis London.
The talk is, the Northern States are to be dis
missed, turned out of the heretofore called Union
The great Southern confederacy intends to dismiss
New England, New York. Pennsylvania and some
other States befors sixty days pass In the meantime,
we can say to the Western States {the great North
western states) not to be alarmed, the port and
market of New Orleans will continue OPEN The
mouths Of the Mississippi river will not be blocnded
only through natures mud Jumps, which occurs
every year. If there should be no Customhouse
in New Orleans after the 4th of March next it will
make no difference. Produce can be forwarded as
heretofore, sold usual, and paid for in gold and
silver. Therefore, we repeat to the traders and
dealers of the great West if you desire to realize
a good market good prices and the best of pay,
send your produce to New Orleans. If you do not
want to dispose Of your wheat, corn pork and ba-
con- and rather eat and consume the whole of it in
preference to sending it to the Empire City of the
great South, why eat away, consume the whole
we in the South can, if necessary raise two crops
per season.
We have drifted away off from CarondeIet street
out of cottendom and exchangedom. Well, to re-
turn to the flags, we can only say that it closed
dull, very dali Unfortunately for the great Ian
cashire manufacturers and spinners, the middle
gentlemen have, as usual, sent their agents. their
nephews, their cousins and their young men to cur
good city unproYided with gold to make purchases
but they come with good share of conceit and
pomposity to instruct our factors in the way Of sell
ling cotton. Some few of them have the candor to
acknowledge that our factors a much smarter
body of men and far better informed than they ex-
peeted. Bnt some cid fogy steps up and asks,
'' How can that man handle samples with gloves
on?n Rather hard question, and we merely re-
ply, not knowing cannot say. After handling
samples with gloves on, We thought it about time
to retire from the flags, which we did at an early
hour, hoping to hear from NewYork. As it would
be late before we could reply to the inquiry, we
merely have to refer our readers to the usual
column for telegraphic adyices.
The mails continue at skies and seyens. For
months past we have been receiving papers via
express from one to three days in advance of the
mail After the 4th of March next there will be no
postal arrangements. Express agents will deliver
every merchant his letters promptly in fact, it is
not beyond reason to expect that McKeevers ex-
press, or the Company, will deliver letters for one
cent per letter of single sheet from all parts of the
United States that were, but will not be after the
| 4th of March next.
