TALK ON ,oHANeE.

borrowers of money and would-be- borrowers II at
cheap rates. matters and things moved along very
smoothly yesterday. On rue Carondeet there was
considerable talk on the purport Of the European
or English accounts brought by the Bohemian at
Portland, and which we laid before our readers in
Yesterdays issue. Private dispatches since re-
cciyed by the Bohemian quote, or rather confirm,
the decline Of Id. as announced, and also quote
decline of Id. in yarns in Manchester, and New
Orleans Low Middling cotton plenty at 3d. It Is
surmised there is large quantity of cotton going
into or consigned to parties in Liverpool not only
from this port but from other ports, who cannot
hold for any length Of time; and though bills are
drawn at sixty days sight, the cotton very seldom
gets cleverly slowed away in warehouse before the
exchange natures. 3d. for Low Mddling just
about covers Sc. here, with I'D. freight and ex-
change at l0s. The King is yet in favor, notwith-
standing the large receipts, and the movements
yesterday and the day previous were free. The
decline in freighta has materially assisted opera
tions.
The arrivals from the great West reported yes.
terday were numerous. The receipts of tobacco
and Western products generally were large. There
is no lack of stocks on which to operate at this
time The decline in freights will be highly advan
tageous to the tobacco trade and it will be for
all produce forwarded here from the West for
transhipment. Then dealers and traders through
out the West can send forward the contents Of
their warehouses under privileges Of more than one
market, as, If sales cannot be effected here on land
ing, the produce can be shipped to any of the nu-
merous markets on the Atlantic, or to the West
Indies. There is very little encouragement to ship
grain, -four or provisions to Europe though ship
mnuta ara rnadn eyarv tynely from New York
different ports III Europe. We observe that the
shipments Of -four from New York the present sea-
son for England and Ireland reach 200 900 bbls.;
$4,000 bushels wheat, and 900 bushels ofcorn
From this good port Of New Orleans the shipments
comprise simply q barrels -four, made for pres
ents, TO show what superior article of family
| flour can be had in our market. The shipments
Of corn reach only one small cargo say $500 bush
els. The truth is the flour shipped from Northern
ports for Europe is Of very inferior quality to the
| flour which comes to and is sold in New Orleans.
| Superior st. Louis -four is quoted in New York and
Boston at s7@ss IS T2 bbl.; Superior Western
| SO 75@s7 50, and Superior New York (Genesee
brands} s6 750s7 50. It appears there is a lower
standard Of -four shipped from New York for Eu-
rope than could be furnished from this city. Then
there are greater facilities for shipments that is
lower rates of freight-from New York than from
here, the large ships carrying -four to Liverpool
at 2s.@2s. Cd. q Dbl. As there have been no
shipments Of flour hence this season there is no
quotable rate Of freights. II there have not been
any exports of -four and grain frsm here this sea-
son for Liverpool, the imports Of salt from that
town have been large enough to equalize trade
and we think the great West can be tolerably well
salted through the Crescent City. We notice the
4 nfa atu 1afC Cap
our CustomHouse to be 7s5 900 sacks, (with some
4 thousands more expected) against 900 sacks
at the same period Of time last year. and 37Oo o0C
bushels of Turks Island and other kinds in bulk
against lT3 900 bushels same time last year Tie
talk is that we shall keep toierably well under
these supplies fes the balance of the season. The
imports of coffee for the season exhibit decline
being only 235 900 bags Rio, against 100000 bags
sanleS time last year. There has been an increase
ID the receipts from Cuba, Mexico, and West India
ports in general. They Ais bags, against 1926
bags last year. There is very good quality OF
coffee received from the lower provinces of Mex.
leo, of good favor and it might be extensively cul
tiyated in many districts at cost, laid down here
levee, at less than 1Oc o d. and should this
distracted nation ever have permanent Govern
ment or be annexed to the United States, we could
Il oSpA
send millions Of dollars out OF the country to aid in
paying Brazilian debts to England. True, Brazil
takes few thousand barrels of -four annually from
us, also some supplies of domestic cotton goods
from New England. The talk is, let us take Mex
leo, silver mines, coffee estates and ALL and then We
we shall notlaek for specie and people will not tall
"why don't the banks import speciem Let us ge
our coffee and silver cheap. The wishes and hopes
are in favor Of Gen. Houston annexing the depart
ments Of Tamaulpas, Coahuila and New Leon a
once, without any ceremony, delay or diplomacy
We have drifted off of Garondeet street way dowl
to Mexico, because was winding up rather dull to
wards P. NJ. yesterday on the flags. There wer.
some movements in cotton, which will be found de
tailed under the usual head, and there was SOM
talk among the tobacco operators, or would.be op
orators at their own prices, but factors in the wee
are pretty firm and do not appear anxious to tall
of their movements. The Arabia from Liverpool
of the 18th, will be due at New York to- morrow
The Northern mails came through last evening
with dates Of the oath inst, as late as due fror
New York.
