TALK ON CHANGE.

| long. In fact it was decidedly dull day. On
the grand boulevard Canal it was also dull, too dull
| altogether for a remark. The great building Of
| Messrs. Giquel Jamson, intended for the great
| dry goods, is approaching completion. II is q
| great building, considerably in advance Of the
Touro buildings on the north side of the boulevard.
| The adjoining buildings-the Union Bank, Mrs.
I Slocomb's corner, the old Paulding buding-look
very small very diminutive, along side tile five
story, iron front, new building. There is great
room for improvement on Canal street, taking in
the corner here alluded to, then crossing over to
the southeast of Canal and st. Charles
streets, we find four old and modern threestoried
buildings, built in the year 1923 by the late William
Brand, say thirty-seven years ago this summer. IT
is about time they were made to give way to some
thing approximatiDg the age. True, this old block
does pay an enormous interest the first cost OF
the buildings, and the present owners undoubtedly
have kind regard for it, The building on the OPP
posite corner, known as the Merchants Hotel,
erected in the year 1926, say thrty-four years
ago. and was known as " Cotton Brokers' Corner'
for many years. 1t il about time for it to give
way to something conformable to the times. The
Union Bank building was erected in 1924 and oc-
cuped as iirst-class boarding house for some
years. Our old citizen, Cen Pafrey, lived oppo-
| site for some years, and can probably recollect
the noise the young folks then, now waning to-
wards three-score years, made in their conyiyial
| parties about once week, when old Southside
Madeira was obtainable in all its purity and lowell
ness, which cannot be said Of the present day.
The President Of the Union Bank, now absent can
come in for share of participation in those good
| old times. His reverence for the old building,
Bank, will not, it is believed, prevent the present
| owners of the bank from erecting new building,
| in conformity to the age of progress.
We have talked all the way to Camp street. 1t

difference, market value, between the Mexican
eagle dollars and American silver coin, of the coin
age under the act of 1858, of ten per cent.
Well, of course, there was some talk of cotton
and politics. eve don't talk on the latter subject
only in private way.) OF the great staple we
profess to be well posted up, and though another
large yield, equivalent to last year, would prevent
any advance, yet it will be some weeks before our

The intended extension of the Mexican Gul
Railroad is now a fixed fact The proprietors o
the road give notice of their desire to purchase
railroad ties sufficient to extend the road to Min,
Mile Bayou. This is in earnest, and ere twey,
months pass our citizens will have communication
with the Gulf of Mexico in one and half to thre

1t is surmised that new route to New York b.

is great movement going on which will astoun
