TALK ON CHANGE.

| Carondelet street was remarkably quiet yester.
day. Col. Baxter's corner was entirely deserted,
nor was there corporate guard Of civilians TO be
| seen the entire length Of Caron1eet from the
| grand boulevard, Canal, to Poydras street. In
and about Major Ayegno's there were some move
ments, but they appeared to be connected with his
battalion Of volunteers en- route for The battlefield
On the grand boulevard, Canal, there was very
little doing. Crinolinedo1n was well represented
Without any large expenditure of the dross; in
fact, the rich and gorgeous stocks of dry-goods,
which look so very inviting, are passed by with
silent indifference. Lnseys, jeans, cottonadeB,
aannels and blankets are much more in request
than silks, mousseliDes, delanes, cambrics, fine
linen and puppies Of Europe.
There was somestalk that in consequence.of the
receipt of twenty-five bales of new crop cotton by
an old house, which refused to sign the cotton
factors circular, and who, it is talked of has an
inclination to defy the express will of nineteen.
twentieths Of the factors who recommended plant
ers not to send cotton to market for the present,
intends to demonstrate its contempt of all concert
of action of his contemporaries. 1t was bruited
about that the Governor would act in the matter,
by issuing proclamation forbidding any cotton
to be forwarded to the city for the present. on ac-
count of the incentive it would give our enemies to
attempt the conquest of our city.
Talking about cotton brought up the following
communicationfroma old factor:
4 aA. Editor-rIt may not be amiss for the benefit
of cotton planters to state through your columns
that the suggestion is made to some of fhem to
omit forthe present, the use of bagging in putting
up their crops, simply using ties, until the
time comes for shipping, when bagging may be
much lower in price, because more abundant. In
the meantime, ihe cotton cannot be injured by ex-
posure, which would not also ipjure the bagging
if covered with it. and it will only require the bales
TO be returned to the press, when about to be ship
ped, and be encased in bagging. 80

while cash IL scaree and supplies costly.
49, COTTON FACTOR. g
= Our correspondent above alludes to cotton ties
made OF iron. We cannot see why iron ties should
now be heldat &c. per Ii, when a year ago they
were a drug at 7t9Sc. The iron mines OF Tennessee
furnish as much mon to-day as they did one year
ago. We have in our day seen cottonseut to market
with simply hoop peles, as the protective of keep
ing intended bales in shape for shipping or
handling. We have also observed thousands on
thousands of bales, or supposed bales, representa-
ton Of bales, landing on our leyee which had no
other covering: than supposed gunuy bag, or two
OF three yards of Lowell cotton.
There was some inquiry how many of our absent
sclulens, VINO so vigorously LETT the South for
summer jaunt Northward are to get back. We
haye the strongest reasons for calling into question
the loyalty of many of tine absentees.s We also
have great doubts about loyaltysto the South OF q
distinguished cotton factor on Grayier street,
though he may be a Director in the Bank of Loui-
siana, a large property holder and so on, and a
large recipient of cotton; yet we have no evidence
ofloyalty, unless decided hostility to the President
of the Southern Gonfederacy comes within the de-
Gnition OF some Southern sentiments. This is the
talk on the flags, aud from our own knowledge we
have no reason to doubt it.
The further talk of the arrest of Lousiauians
In the North, or rather misoalled SO. We, months
ago, called into question the propriety of our ei
zens going North. We have very little doSbt that
the recent law will reach thousands of citizens who
have been conducting business in the South, ac-
cumulated few thousands of this worlds goods,
and then cleared out for Yankeedonl
There are other parties who have the temerity to
4 cross the lines. Among the most important--and
who Is under Arrests that of Lieut. Col Tyler,
said to be OF the Gontederated army We sincerely
hope that there no more such yerdagt officers
as this Lieut. Col, who went after his wife in Gin
cnnat, and is now in Lincotn's Bastile There were
4 also some remarks that there are too many wives
of the officers Of the South following their hus.
