ON 'Change-Bu.inv-s News.

The attendance on change was very full yes
terday, and news respecting the re-establishment
of the blockade caused considerable animation.
The Secretary read letters from parties living
along the line Of the Columbus and Ohio rail
road stating that on Tuesday last an agent went
up the road and delivered instructions to each
agent at the various depots prohibiting the
shipment of produce and fully re-estsblishing
the blockade in the same standing it was at first.
If an emergency exists that makes this course
necessary, OF course it viii be cheerfully ac-
guessed in during the existence of that emer-
gency. To establish an embargo for a specific
purpose, as an exigency, is one thing; to 10 the
same without extraordinary reasons, merely to
cheaper prices, then to buy a few hundred
bushels Of corn and grain now and then, and
leave the stacks the rest Of the time to perish by
weavil and be devoured by rats and mice
is another. The effect Of this intelligence
was to stifen prices. Flour, which for days
has been dull and inactive, became in demand,
and sales were made at prices that could not be
obtained the previous day. Corn went up FIVE

1900 sacks Liverpool coarse salt sold (on an
order from the Governor OF Alabama, to be dis
tributed among the planters Of that State at
S9z9.5O per sack, and the latter rate was sub
sequeutly refused for more. The Crescent says
Of this sale The Governor Of Alabama yes
terday purchased in our market seventeen thou
sand sacks at the rate of S949.5O, and eight
thousand more sold at $3.50. Now, people have
been talking for days past that there was no salt
on sale-that it was al gone, dissolved, perhaps
entirely evsporateL Yet, here there were sales
talked of on the fags 70 the extent Of $4,000
sacks yesterday, and these sales at a reduction
from last weeks operations. We beg consumers
not to be alarmed there will be sufficient salt for
this season at least. The very exorbitant prices
are bringing into Use all the salt springs in the
country, and salt watts on the sea shore are being
constructed as fast as circumstances viii admit -"
The same paper states The steady receipts
and sales OF sugar and molasses are greatly re-
ieying the necessities Of those connected with
that branch of trade. The constant inquiry for
molasses would seem to warrant the belief that
the returns for this article will greatly exceed any
former year. The largest returns for molasses
were in lS5s, when they reached 5 1900, 900, the
ruling in February, March and April Of
that year al from % to y cents per gallon"
