TALK ON CHANGE.


The weather yesterday was all that could be de-
sired for the furtherance of business. Our steam
boat register denotes numerous arrivals of steam
boats from the interior with large cargoes. The
receipts of cotton continue heavy. The staple
may be said to be pouring in on us at 2:40 pace,
and there does not appear to be any falling off at
the Atlantic ports. The increase at Charleston up
to the 10th inst. over last season, was, in Uplands
% 097 bales in Sea Islands 2059-total % l56 The
increase at Savannah in Uplands up to the 10th was
81 0l9 bales; increase in Sea Islands 1878 bales
total excess 3S 297 bales The demand is free, and
good prices are realized. The receipts proper are
now approximating fourteen hundred thousand
bales. The weather has been clear for a week,
which will improve the roads in the interior, and
lead to the bringing in of the cotton now in the
country. We desire New York and other distant
operators not to entertain the belief that Harper's
Ferry raids encourages them to expedite their cot
ton to market The New York jockeys can hang
up their harp in that suppostion. Complaints are
received every week of the interior of bales bought
for Good Middling and Middling Fair cotton being
composed of sand and dust.
The Philadelphia Board of Trade last week made
a report on the subject from which we take the
following extract:

From the general report it appears that the cot
ton alluded to was from bales bought in the South
this season, and presumed to be of the growth Of
1859 Qast summer) 1t appears that recommends

the bale, with his name inscribed thereon, has il
some respects been carried out, and proved to be
Of incalculabe advantage. The talk is, that thu
many complaints which have been made have call
ed the attention of large majority of cultyators
and it is sincerely hoped that causes for complain
will not be so numerous hereafter. In the mean
time, planters now in the city can examine somt
dusty and sandy cotton taken out from the eente
of bales purchased as Mddling and hiddling Fair
by calling at No. "a st. Charles street, up stairs
where several packages can be examined as re
