Cotton, in the way Of receipts, begins to fall
very rapidly. 1t is manifest that many planters,
under the depression and general low prices which
ruled from three to four weeks ago, are holding
back 1t would not be matter of much import
ance to our community whether this system is con-
tnued or not, if sufficient cotton was forwarded 10
cover advances. 1t is most ungenerous and IN
just course for those planters who are in debt and
under obligations to withhold their crops or any
part thereof. This is abusing the confidence Of our
factors and many of them have been liberal in the
extreme in according to the wants of their patrons
in the way Of advancing in cash. in supplies for
plantation use, and accepting at specializing rates

The cotton market was active yesterday, and the
great bug-aboo the crisis) was hardly thought of.
Facilities for shipment are free, an abundance Of
tonnage being in port, and no expectation of there
being any want this season. They do talk that the
tobacco receipts will be much less than last year
The usual secresy is maintained in the daily trans
actions and sales of the weed. Perhaps operators
think if they give details the public viii know as
much about their business as they do themselves.
In some respects very sound view taken. There
was large operator last summer who never
acotd disclose his movements; bat the weed itself
smoked the transactions out, as it were, and di-
yulged the reason for secresy and privacy. In the
meantime, the receipts Of the weed for the season
show large falling off from last year, and factors
do say that prices will increase as the season ad
vances.
To-day will be general holiday, created SO by
legislative enactment. The banks will be closed j;
also all public offices. The Custom-house will be
opened until 10 o'clock, the Post-offce will be
closed at IL o'clock, and we shall omit our daily
walks, and wish our friends and readers merry

TALK ON ,CRANGH.


The gatherings on rue Carondelet and enyirons
were large yesterday in fact, the week commenc-
ed auspciously. Not only did cottondom and ex-
changedom feel the elasticity but crossing over to
the grand boulevard, Canal, crinonedom appear
ed to be in motion. All crnolinedom apparently
were the boulevard walk yesterday from an
early hour, even before the Money Kings had
opened their exchangedoms The crowds of shop
pers, buyers in earnest kept up continual throng
throughout the day And though we are passing
through crisis-a money pressure-there was not
the slightest indication observable yesterday but
what prosperous times were prevailing in our
midst. Yesterday active day here, there
and all about our great city, True, there are IN
donhtedly exceptions and that penury and want
do exist in many places unbeknown to the daily
observer OF events. The literally disposed, the
charitable and the benevolent will on the return of
this day find objects worthy of their regard and
charity The day closed, as it opened with multi
tudes of citizens our streets, and every thing
indicated merry Christmas.
Some Of the senile frequenters of the flags ap-
peared to be growing juvenile yesterday they got
to arguing on the great question of the day, and
appeared to be all for direct and immediate seces-
sion, taking the very sensible view of the great
GO.S
might as well go at once, and not be waiting to be
led by the nose, presnming that our good State is
out of its apron strings if not it is about time she
should be- This is the talk among the dealers of
cottondom. Other dealers on the flags appear to
be doing very well in buying cotton at from 1o0ll
cents, and do not appear to continental dol
lar or q red about c6operationsts or secessonists
In the meantime, it is manifest that secession at
once has greatly the call, as will appear about
the close of Monday, the 7th preximo.
Our marine register denotes numerous arrivals
from above, bringing full cargoes of produce,
which comes to good market 1t was active and
brisk on the leyee yesterday, and the movements
on Tehoupitoulas, Poydras and New Levee streets
gave evidence there was no room for grass to
grow, as has been predicted. On the resumption
of intercourse with the Upper Mississippi, we shall
have the pleasure of recording immense quantities
of produce. The granaries and warehouses will
be pouring out their contents in the greatest pro-
fusion, and to this cash market will the greater
share come.
At the sugar depot there appears to be good
stock of the saccharine, and the rangers in general
are in tolerably good humor. The receipts OF both

with big subject and grew more eloquent as he pro-
ceeded; before he got through, tie vast audience

sense Of this meaning was abandantly sustained
by the argument and the historic parallels which

Judge Alexander Walker was the next speaker.
His address, was able and vigorous; 1t was in his
usual taking STYLE and almost more than met the
requirements Of his enthusiastic and patriotic
auditors.
When Judge Walker conaIuded, the meeting ad-
journed, with three times three for the Palmetto
