bag in first hands. In the meantime, substitutes
have been proposed, among which is named the
okra seed As regards this, the thought of its be-
coming substitute may as well be laid aside OF
once, for there are not twenty-five sacks OF the
seed available. The chief substitute will have to
be rye. This cereal was used during the war OF
1872. In fact, half of the ground coffee which has
been sold in New York and Boston for the last
twenty-five years was composed chiefly OF rye
There are some few sacks of rye now in market.
Coffee drinkers will do well to secure supply, oe-
fore the price advances. The supplies OF bacon,
hams and pork are running low. Hams up to %
cents per pound; lard q to 80 cents, the stock
running very low, We shall have to fall back on
Creole beef and mutton-return to first principles.
Breadstuhs are in good supply and an abundance
in the country. Potatoes and eseulents generally
are scarce, In the country there is an abundance
for home use, but in the city we shall be short, as
is eynced by the prices and scarcity in the differ
eut markets The scarcity will bear heavily on
the Free Market. The planters and others did not
plant to meet the wants of the city, not antici-
pating that they would be called on. OF course
the season is now too far advanced to expect any
extended supplies The sugar planters will have
an abundance of sugar and molasses, which they
will give with their usual generosity. There will
be good crop of rice. The cultivation OF rice IN
our State is confined to those in rather moderate
circumstances, and they cannot be expected to
contribute largely. But we do know who can
come forward with their hundreds and thousands.
They are our new-angled Southerners, who are
now arriving every day to look after their property
and assets. Yet they may excuse themselves
by saying their property is sequestered, which it
will be. In the meantime, we have only to say
that the Free Market needs large contributions,
and that at an early day.

TALK ON CHANGE.

The gatherings on the flags are increasing. Yes
terday there was good spread on CaTondelet.
There were no transactions of note. New corners,
new faces are appearing daily. What brings SO
many people here at this moment? That there is
large number of Black Republicans, perhaps
spies, among them, there is not doubt. 1t will
be well for vendors of Yankee Inventions to be
closely watched. We observed one, two days
since, who was anything but what he pretended to
be-, 1t is astounding to observe how many warm
Southerners we find on our flags, since the passage
OF certain law. The talk is that the numerous
companies of soldiers lacking a few to fill up
ought to be filled up Immediately from the hosts of
ardent southerners who have appeared on our
hags recently. In fine, we did not know the South
had SO many friends. But the eleven foot will
show ITSELF The question is asked, will the author
tiles compel the payment OF debts falling due to
alien enemies, that is, enforce the collection by
coercive measures? On this point, it is presumed
there will be no difficulty in making arrangements
with the Receiver, if necessary. No debtor, owing
a Northerner, can pay his debt or note in bank
If any bank holds note for account of a North
erner, it is under sequestration, by the action of
the statute. Nor can tenants pay their rents for
property owned North, only into the hands of the
Receiver or into the Confederate treasury. Fur
