ON CARONDELET STREET.

| Yesterday the brokers and solid mel
who are wont to frequent Carondele
street, conceived it to be their duty tt
sink all private considerations and devot'
all their intellectual force to the condition
opportunities and respective merits of thu
European combatants, now shedding
their blood periodically in Alsace and
near the banks of the blue Moselle. A
deal Of military science was wasted upon
the heated air of New Orleans. The poll.
tics Of the European continent for the
last ten years was learnedly and
acutely ventilated. Bismarck and
Olivier could have learned where
to repair their errors, and how to
improve the relations of their respective
governments with other powers, and
might have blushed at the praise,
while they applauded the discrimination
of their respective adherents upon the
flags of Carondelet. Moltke and McMa-
hon would have listened greedily, had
they an mixing of what was going for
ward, to the shrewd suggestions Of what
must be the movements Of the armies
under their command during the present
week. They would have acquired more
information among our fnanciers yester-
day than years of scientific and expert
mental study Of the art of war could pos
sibly impart to them. In fact it is i'm
possible to take our money workers at
fault. All they want is opportunity to
express their views. The world may as
well be quiet while they are at the con-
genial task. Their philanthropy is such
that they neglect their business to instruct
humanity in general. So yesterday they
did nothing in stocks beyond sale of
100 shares of Slaughterhouse at SIG and
so shares of Levee at rate not re-
ported. Before the close of the day, how
ever, the stock was offered at 81.
Saturday 205 shares Of Sugar Shed, not
heretofore reported, were sold at s26 SO.
There is so much uncertainty about the
price Of bank stocks at the present moment
that the patrons of leading brokers are
that their transactions in this
class of securities should be reported.
Sales are continually made, but parties
deem it for their interest to keep the
figures quiet.
Ship Island keeps to its last quoted
figure-say from 60 to 65 cents.
Gold opened in New York, at ten yes
terday, at l19, under the influence of the
per cable of Prussian VIC
tories. The Germans hold so large an
amount Of American bonds, that all their
successes seem destined to affect our fnan-
cial interests favorably. At ten in New
Orleans the precious coin sold at 11S, full |
point below New York, afprding an excel
lent chance for money making to some of
our leading dealers. At half-past ten the
Gotham operators had put their figure up
10 119J, and our crowd followed them as far
IS 11s3. By noon change came DER the
spirit Of their dream in New York, and the |
price was established at 1851. New Orleans
lid not swerve from her half-past ten rate
At three New York dropped half point,
closing at 11Sa, and we modestly ac-
luiesced in her dictum, seeing her figure
md going three-eighths under it. The
lays business in gold was brisk and to a
amount.

According to the Corpus Christi Adrertiser,
the country in that region is drying up.
Cattle are dying by the hundreds and thous-

a gentleman who had just returned from a
stock drive, that the loss for every day that
they are without rain, amounts to over a
thousand head. This is certainly frightful
calamity to the stock raisers there.
