TALK ON CHANGE.

On the flags Of Carondelet street was rather quiet
than otherwise. The general tone Of commerce
and finance was good. Under tie impression that
the bottom has been reached in the Liverpool cot
ton market, factors were gathering strength--ad-
vancing the prices for good cotton-altheugh the
stock Of cotton in presses, warehouses and on ship
board is reported to be 100000, which is 10000
bales less than at this time in 1855 II is very
doubtful whether there are much over 10000
bales for sale, either in first or second hands.
There was some fine cotton sold yesterday at I2c.,
and there was some still finer sold at l5{c SO bales
were sold at this price, being the last Of a crop
raised in Kinds county, Mississippi 100 bales

The richest thing OF talk about cotton was the last
circular Of tl,e great oracle Col Wrong which was
issued ON the LIST inst. and from which we take tile
following homily on the crop, the seed for which
has in some sections sprouted, in others peeping
above ground, and in others It may be about an
inch above not sufficient to ascertain whether it il

what the Colonel says about the crop that is to be-
The Colonel, we will do him the Justice to say, is
prompt, and writes to his Liverpool Z friends in
advance Of the telegraph or the wagon in fact,
he doesn't fear an earthquake about the next
crop, but says as follows:
CRoP.-The drought has been followed by rain,
and succeeded by cold weather; in Tennessee
rosts are reported to have done some injury to the
plant. Efforts are making to put q large crop in
the ground at all ports. Much will depend on the
character of the weather. An idea of another
large crop is being put forth.
Efforts, !" the Colonel says, g are making to
put large crop in the ground.s Undoubtedly
there are bat the efforts are not stronger nor in
advance of last year or the year before. !. An
idea of another large crop is being put forth.
Well, Colonel, seeing that you are somewhat mys.
tilted in what constitutes lare crop what is the
idea Of another large crop, following one Of 3,s5l
600 bales and another Of 4,550,0OO bales or more

expressed about a large crop for ls60-'61, conse
quently we cannot comprehend what the words
idea Of another large crop means-whether it
is to influence the Liverpool market and Lancashire
spinners and send prices down another peg. In
fact, the Colonel puzzles many readers of his cir
cular. Now, then, the talk is, what is the amount
of a crop to be. under the idea Of another large
crop? There was seed enough put in the ground
in the spring Of 1853, one year ago, to raise ten
million bales Of cotton. The frosts of the 29th.
Both and 3lst of October, killed great deal ofcot
ton; the bad weather, the continued rains from
the last of November to the close of December,
1859, washed out and destroyed fully $50 600 bales
Other makers of weekly circulars have been writing
to their correspondents and friends in England that
the maximum Of production (placng this maximum
at 43000 900 to 400 900 bales) has or had been at

It is manifest that business forthe is rap
| idly closing. Every steamer which leaves our
levee takes passengers by scores; the great jack
son Railroad takes hundreds every day; iii fine,
people appear to be leaving about as fast as they
arrived last autumn. There are very few who
expressed themselves to the effect that they would
not return; no. not one.
Although the general exodus is as large as in
former years, there will be d larger population
in our city this season than ever before. We
hope Marshal Kennedy will instruct his assistant
and census takers to be particular and obtain every
resident and if the enrolling has not already been
commenced, that the of the city be taken at
as early day possible, SO that we may have our
| due representation in Congress.
The great cotton suits-the sequestration of parts
of three large cargoes of cotton-the great iveday
lien law, which to instruct the world in regard

States Of America-haye been indefinitely post
poned, and will not in all probability, be brought
up before next November or December. There

State may not be had before the fall of 1s6l-pos-
sibly, by hard pushing, decision may be obtained
next spring. In the meantime the inquiry is made,

costs attending the diseharging of the ships and
the reloading? The lawyers say it is subject to the
decision of the court. That one side; the other
| side says, look out In the meantime it is talked
and limited about that the plaintiffs, the sequestra-
tors are not very anxious to have the suits brought

old fogies hint that some of them seriously believe
that the vendors or plaintiffs have got out of the

There were many complaints on the flags yester-
