New Orleans daily crescent., 1861-06-27
TALK ON CHANGE.

The gatherings on the flags yesterday were few
f and far between. There were later advces re-
3 celVed from England, brought by the Europa via
Halifax. These comprise the full details of the
markets for the week ending the 18th inst Mid
: ding Orleans being quoted at Is IGd., say Sd.
plump. Stock OF all kinds OIL hand ,l3l 900 bales
, say SIX months consumption. The general com
mercial adyces are decidedly favorable Provi-
sons and breadsufis were dull, which is much to
the disadvantage of Black Republican shippers in
Northern markets.
OF course, there was no talking about exports
or imports from foreign nations The blockade at
the mouth of the Mississippi, it appears is kept up
by two sloops- of-war. The receipts of baqcing
and rope are prohibited in toto from kentucky. 1t
matters very little about the article of rope. as
! Tennessee can furnish an abundance of iron for
hoops, which will do we'll for substitute As re.
CARDS bagging, the proper course to be adopted
will be to order it from Scotland, to be shipped of
| course, in British vessels. When the month of
/ October arrives, the British Government will un-
doubtedly protect its mercantile interests and put
| bagging and other manufactures through, as bag
gng VIII be most essential article to assist the
cotton trade Kentucky may, however, assert its
| rights -0etore that time. The orders for bagging
from Scotland will have to go forward at an early
| day.
| There was good deal OF talk about the blockade
of Mississippi Sound. The steamer on Sunday last
was five miles inside Of Ship Island harbor-nearer
| TO Cat Island than Ship Island. 1t is useless for
our authorities to be talking of fortifying Shin
Island; in fact, ii is supremely ridiculous Outside
of the Island there are at all times one of the enc
mys vessels off that point. The commander of
the vessel which was in the Sound last Sunday,
we verify believe, is as well posted up in regard
to military movements on Mississippi Sound as
General Twigg5 or Ex-Governor Hebert II is
entirely too late to talk of Ship Island All that is
required is gunboats and field pieces for the troops
now on the sea-shOre. The greatest Joke of the
season is, that on Sunday morning last boats
crew landed at Biloxi, and reported they wanted
hands to work Texas railroad that their vessel
was lying outside the Island. This crew purchased |
fresh provisions, visited the several c0ileeh
and returned to their boat considerably wiser than
when they landed. 1t is OF no use to COMPLAIN;
there has been great neglect of the interests of
New Orleans somewhere. The Governor of Mis-
sissippi has been about four months making ar.
rangements TO fOrtiIy Mississippi Sound. The Gov
efhor OF Louisiana forwarded munitions of war TO
missouri; they had better been sent to Mississippi
oouho' Me desire to suggest to the Commanding
"eneia a. Vi ms Department to furnish some pieces
OF artlllery TO Col. Barrow at once, and abandon
me ioly OF attempting to fortify Ship Island.
From what we observed of the movements of the
enemy on sunday last, and being fully convinced
that steamer and tender we've Off proctoryille on
thursday last we are fully satisfied that all exer.
tons ought to be made to fit out gunboats at once
Ihere are several vessels that can be obtained
which can be converted into gunboats. Each of
them would be more than equal to any of the ten.
oers which we saw tfisking about on Sunday last
Is our authorities have procrastinated so long if
sles commune 70 do SO much longer it will be like
onlp lslana-too late. We are asked, who com.
