1t was active yesterday in some respects about
town. The advices received by the steamer Amer
lea on the flags at an early hour, and caused
large operations in cotton, the sales going beyond
any day for the season. Though the quotations for
consols show decline in London, cotton figures
exhibit an advance. So much for the influence of
the consol market on the cotton market. Our
young factors need not be under any apprehension
about the price of consos influencing the cotton
market. Therefore, it is suggested to telegraphic
operators that the price of consols can be dispcns
ed with on the flags of New Orleans, as proprietors
of newspapers have to pay sufficient for other non
sense, irregular and useless dispatches.


The weather was favorable for cotton planters,
dry and mild We learn they are picking away
with all the force at their disposal. 1t is hoped
that after the numerous complaints and infringe
ments of faith and honesty, more regard will be
given to the quality of the cotton now in prcpara-
ton for market There have been some recent
discoveries Of false packing and plating. transac-
ton has come to light within the past three days,
which shows that false packing is still continued.
An agent and buyer for several New England
manufactures, who has been purchasing freely,
had occasion to reject parcel of cotton the
ground of being plated. On cutting open the head
of the bale the fraud was at once discovered. The
talk was that the greatest joke of the season has
been attempted by the seller of the cotton contend
ing that the purchaser had no right to cut the head
of the bale or to examine the quality further it is
presumed, than the sample which was in the
office. Possibly the plating was occasioned by
meteorological y events. 1t is about time that
the stigma and tarnish of the New Orleans cotton
market should be removed. The proceedings of
the several meetings which have been held by
buyers agents and brokers, and the recommends
tions to be carried out, will be found in another
column.


There was some further talk on the flags yester-
day regarding the large quantity of cotton now
stored, as it were, on the levee, after being re-
cepted for the several bills preliminary to bills OF
lading being signed.


The question is that cotton, or shipments of any
kind, are not covered by the respective policies Of
insurance until the is slowed on board the
ship. Now, then, there are estimated to be on the
levees and wlarves 25 ,OGO bales of cotton await
