TALK ON 'eHAMGE.

4 There was very little talk ontie flags yesterday.
The movements were somewhat in unison with the
weather. thar IL, misty and foggy. There were
some few samples Of cotton on the boards Of two
brokers for sale. The sales Of cotton on planta-
tons, for future delivery, Is to be attended with
some trouble. IN our humble opinion, these sales
had better be avoided il possible. From some in
cidental talk, infer that some diffculy is bound
to arise from this illegftimate course Of making
sales. These sales, though made in regard to the
relations between planter and factor are subject
to other contingencies which may be created from
this novel mode u selling produce on plantations
at certain or stipulated prices, subject TO decision
on the delivery of the cotton Or produce ON call.
The programmes looks well, very well on paper
This mode Of selling for future delivery gives free
scope to ton and arbiIrament. Casting aside
these interlo ntionsss they. may be termed, we
come to the direct talk about TIE blockade. The
inquiry Is, when VIII the blockade be- broken?
