TALK ON CHANGE.


zed We may have to record some changes ayerse
u borrowers Our marine list denotes fair NUM-
Der 81 arrivals from the interior, which makes
business active on the great leyee, with cores
bonding movements on Tchoupitaulas, Poydras
ind New LeSee streets. The business or trade
With Alabama via Mobile, Florida and Georgia,
continues free, and with Texas there is no falling
,tf whatever.
The freight market was commented on freely.
There have been very few arrivals of vessels the
past week. Shipmasters and agents do not appear
% be very anxious about entering into engage
nents at the rates ruling yesterday, say oiled. for
Liverpool, and l BIG for Havre. Whether under
the prospect Of at least one million bales Of cotton,
the bulk thereof it can be transported to market
by the shipping or tunnage now in port and ex-
pected to arrive, Is question to be talked about
within a brief time hereafter
Our eonfrere the Sugar Planter, seems to be
somewhat exercised regarding our talk a few days
since on the Importation Of sugar and moasses
from the Island of Cuba. Our respected cotem-
porary seems to harbor our remarks made in
August last on our general talk of the sugar CROP

Of the Sugar Planter or ourselves anticipated,

not more than $4,000 hogsheads on plantations to
meet the half crop estimates. OF molasses. there

count of severe Frost, would be 1852 barrels.
