TALK ON CHANCE.


The early part of yesterday was attended W''n a
drizzling rain, which somewhat ntcrlercd with 'he
gatherings and congregations on the flags. Inc
great staple was in favor. The falling of in re-
ceipts is attracting notice IT cannot be disguised
that the great cotton market hinges greatly on ihe
political condition Of what was the nation of the
United States Great stress is placed on the seccs
sion of the cotton States 50 says the private cor
responlcnce from the other side. They write from
the other side that the time FOR compEomise is
passed, and rs for reconstruction ofathe Union.
that is not thought of. These views correspond
with the general feeling throughout the cotton
growing region. A return tQNvhat was called the
United States Is not entetained. II is idle to think
of it; and whether tne separation of the States is
effected peaces0iy or otherwise, will not in the
leasI alecS the cultivation Of cotton. There will
pc more land placed in position this spring than
ever before. The only diversion Of labor from the
growing of cotton will be the growing of corn and
cereals in general, and the labor so diverted
will not be equivalent to the natural increase Of
our working subjects. Therefore, we can safely
intimate to our good customers across the Atlantic
not to be alarmed, because, with favorable sea
son. we, that is the cotton States of the Southern
Confederacy, will furnish the cotton.c consuming
world with five millions Of bales. Tho incipiency
of the planting season for 1881 is highly encourag
ing, much more SO than last year at this time.
The Liverpool cotton market at our last dates
was more affected by the depression Of trade in
Manchester than by the complexion of the politi-
cal intelligence from this side.
Some parties were yesterday waiting later ad-
vices from Europe. The Canadian, Of the I4Gh, is
about dGe at Portland. The screw-steamcrs of the
Cunard line, the boats leaving, or which were to
have left every Tuesday, have been withdrawn on
account Of the very light quantities Of freight OR
merchandise being shipped to the United States.
The movements about the sugar depot were
rather light yesterday. The weather was unfayor-
able for the usual display among the gimlet rang
ers The rangers are a patriotic body; they go
for the saccharine and nothing but the sacchariae.
They sell to all who approach them in q civil man
ner, but woeto any Black Republican trader from
the North or the West who comes within the range
Of the rangers, and talks Of Lincoln and his ntents
to coerce our patriotic rangers
While talking about sugar, we we're reminded Ct
the following resolution Of the New York Sugar
Refners:
Resolved, That the Sugar Reiners Of the Atlantic
cities view with alarm the constantly increasing
lQss on hogshead sugar at the usual tare of II get
and feel that action OF theirs Is necessary 10
nut g. stop to the growing evil That the customary
tare Of y yet. on ordinary well filled hogsheads
hayiug been sufficient to cover, we can only look
upA the course pursued by some planters. OF
ordering shocks of weight that cannot possibly
save the purchaser from heavy loss, as deliberate
fraud and calling for determined action on our
part, until more equitable system is devised
That as our claim is only for just weight, we feel
that it is entitled to proper consideration and trust
that some plan will be devised by the planters that

on the hogshead before filing, or by actual tare
when the weight Of the hogthead is over l80 lbs
That on and after February lst, 1861 the Refners
of the Atlantic cities agree to insist making the
minimum weight Of nliaged hogsheads, on which
