TALK ON ,cHA.NGE.

Il On the Tags OF Carondelet yesterday the gather.
ings3 were fey; and far between. At Col. Baxter's
/ corner something more than bakers dozen con.
fHened, as Were, by chance. or course, the chei
talk WAS about Roanoke and what England and
| France will do. Al drove of turkeys, however,
paraded about this time, Indicating that there
were SOME hopes Of the habitries having an invita-
tion 70 real turkey. Possibly, in the, absence of
in cotton, the turkey dealers think they
have privilege to cry turkey on the grand rue.
we are not advised whether the city officials have
exaoted Of these dealers in turkeys the
customary charges for license. Carondelet street
can put up with q good deal. They are, that is,
the Heqnenters, willing to contribute literally for
al public associations but this cry Of turkeys. at
five dollars per pair, ID rather tantalzing lust at
this moment. Our respected Governor viii not
allow any cotton to Come on the flags therefore
We must cry turkey instead of cotton. There was
seine further evidence Of vitality on the flags.
The grass, the wheat and tile oats were growing
UP very fast between the intefstces Of the square
block pavement. There were also turned out for
shipment in front Of the great carriage depository
three Or four clss which were paid for in cash.
which Is conHrmatory that there are some spare
tnnas yet in the country ontaide Of the Crescent
City, The telegraph wires were very quiet yester-
DAY np 10 the alose Of business. There was some
side talk that there had been decline in cotton in
liverpool o. the Gath; that AIiddling Orleans was
quoted at I3d. This is a very high figure, and
higher shan ever before since the year 1926, when
u the counting Of the old houses, Chopper,
Bensen 81 Co., and Kathbone ;Hod gson q Co., they
figured ont st the close Of the year 1924 that d
short stock Of cotton would follow the commence
snent Of the year 1925, cansing rapid ADVANCE,
and the sending Of special agents to New York
and thence South with orders to buy, up all the
cotton TO be had, sending merchantable cotton il
this market up TO 40, rs and so cents per Mound.
But thesequel Is not necessary to talk Of Suffice
ito say there ere some old habitues whe frequent
the tags daily who remember that disastrous
::ysar. According to the quotations Of Mddlfng

cotton should now he selling in our city at about
