TALK ON ,CHAMGE.

I There was good feeling eyinced on the flags yes
| terday in some respects. Cotton factors were in
| good humor; shipSbrokers and agents were rather
depressed at the downward, tendency of freirhts.
5aldls, a'ins9orte, they have had good harvest.
Cotton press representatives did not seem to an.
preeiata comprising at fifty cents per bale for
liverpool and thirty-fye cents per bale for New
| York. In the long run, we do not think cotton
press would make salt at these rates in fact un-
| less there were other charges to be tackled on,
with something liberal allowed for pickngs, cotton
presses ct the present rate Of freights or accord
ing to the tariff established, viii not pay.
Walking Of COMPRISING lin old fogy times the
term was repressing) brought up the question of
tie price Of REFRESHING being for years on years
only seVenty-fiye cents per bales without regard
to the rates Of freights For instance, the Messrs
Frerets for years had the presses on Carondelet
and st- Charles streets, and depressed millions of
bales at75c per bale Garondelet street was all cot
ton yard and presses just the same as it is now the
center Of cottondom. Gen. Palfrey, now located
| at No. 43 Garondelet street, is on the very SPOT
where he had presses and warehouses, and com
pressed hundreds Of thousands Of bales of cotton
atseventy five cents per bale. True, the proprie-
tors Of presses, in oiden times, did now and then

John, and take little southside, with condiments,
(now Moreaus) chat about storage, repressing, old
rope and mending; but it never entered their
heads to make a sliding tariff or combine that
81 SO per bale Should be charged for depressing a
bale Of cotton, even when freights were Id and
&c.
Now, the question is, does it pay vessel to have
cotton repressed when freights rule below I'd. for
toJ, e.
per of the cotton in more respects than one. We
have otmuch sympathy for the Black Republican
vessels which continue to come to our port, but it
would be satisfactory to know what part of the
general warehouse charges, COMPRISING, is paid
by the planters, what part by the shipper or buyer
Of cotton, and what share by the ship. We know
that the ship pays the depressing ostensibiy This
was some Of the talk incidentally brought up.
Towards noon it was announced that the Africa
lad arrived at New York, with dates to the 10th
lit, from Liverpool. The cotton market was in |
good state, with Midalng Orleans ruling at I'D.
The stock on hand was reported to be 100000 |
sales. These fgnrea will do after we have been
eceiying for nearly three weeks figures quoting |
be stock al $4,000, 100000 and ,Os2, 900 bales
The inquiry ID made, how has this deception been
,ronght abonts what does it mean, and who are |
he parties to these gross misrepresentation
hese swindllng fguress What reliance can here
fter be placed on telegraph adyices, particularly
q far az figures are concerned?
The mails By the Canada were received yester-
ay. The private correspo ndence reads on the SO.

Or parties on this side, which implies American
& manifest that the money market is oheapening

ide y checked. The next important news from
he other sfdewi be on the recognition Of the
senfederated States Of Ameriea. The tariffs of
