TALK ON 'CIANGE,

| There was a general turnout yesterday-the
| flags of Carondelet street were well thronged
without any remarkable transactions being carried
| through. Cotton rules supreme, has full sway,
with sales making at i34 cts for very nice parcels
CHASING Good Middling. 1t is believed that the
predictions We made towards the close Of the
month Of December and early in January, that
Mddling cotton would in this month (March) com
mand 12@125 cts, are fully confirmed and some
operators and buyers who were at that time vaci-
lating and who asked our views will recolect that
we told them to buy all they could at 1O01lc. or
at the price then ruling. Cotton is now supreme
it is king and monarch Of all at this time As usual
at this season of the year, the Bears now some
thing in chrysas state, preparing as the spring
time of the year has come, to shed their coats and
appear in short time az sleek roaring Bulls
Parties and woud-be buyers who have been wait
ing for the ten cent mark will have the privilege of
Withdrawing from market. True, we have to re-
eeiye accounts of some strong reaction on the
other side before we can congratulate shippers.
Our last quotations from Liverpool for Mddling
Orleans were G5d.-1@lbd advance is required to
meet our currency, say l2c., freight 3D., exchange
LOG.
Last year, after this time, the receipts to the
close Of the season were 760, 900 bales According
| to some figures exhibited yesterday, it is requisite
to receive from this time to the 3lst August 38l.
| 900 bales to make up crop of 5000 900 bales.
The question is propounded, Z" are there $50 900
bales in the country (inland towns, at shipping
points, to cover these fgures?" On taking
broad and comprehensive view, we readily come
to the conclusion that the Bulls have the call that
Col. Wrong, Messrs. Neill, Freres 4 Co.. can change
their figures without running any material hazard
at oIyino dino ry1o,, F-o,
The Vigo, of the 9Th from Liverpool for New York,
the Portland steamer of the 7th, and the Cunard of
the 9th are all due. There does not appear to be
much anxiety regarding the expected intelligence
Some shippers of cotton are naturally expected to
be on the tenters. There is no further information
regarding the contract for tobacco with the French
reggie.
There were many inquiries regarding the action
of the Convention the Bank bill. It was not
called up. The question of accepting the Constftu-
ton ofthe Conederated States of America occupied
the Convention. The question was put and decided
by tOIerdble positive vote in favor of accepting at
once This result was expected, and meets the
hearty welcome of all true Southerners. The next
important questionable Bank bill-wiIl come up
to-day. A motion will undoubtedly be made to
repeal or abr6gate the article lis of the Constitu
question conformahle to the desires of the adj
vocates of the ordinance which has been under
debate for some days
The movements on the great landing or levee
begin to show some falling off. The receipts of
produce from the great West keep up well, and |
prices for all kinds are well maintained. The |
rivers in the West-the tributaries of the Missis-
sirpi-are rising. We, however, beg our up. coun-
try friends not to be talking of high water over
flows and foundations; that there is an immense
quantity of snow on the mountains, and all this
that aud the other. These heavy SHOWS will dis
solve in May, and come with the June rise from the
Rocky Mountains and the Upper Mississippi. The
Black Republican minions need not attempt to
brighten us with high water accounts, foundations
and oVerfows.
The talk is, the weather is glorious for our plant
ing and agricultural interests; that the planting of
cotton is being pushed forward that an immense
quantity of land has been planted with corn with
out infringing on the quantity of acres devoted to
co'ton; that we are laying the foundation of an
