SHREVEPORT MARKEr.-The following report of
the above market, for the week ending the 3Ist
ult, is taken from Messrs. Thurmond & BoWles'
Price Current Of the LIST inst:
The two most prominent features OF our cotton
market during the week are first the abiding faith
of buyers and jobbers in cotton that it will stiIl
advance, evidenced BY the prices they continue to
give, and secondly the eager disposition upon the
part OF fsctors and outside sellers to ''let CO."
feeling, we think, very justly, that the present
prices pay them to raise it, and to yield Ger.
tsinty for the chances Of very great uncertain
ty, they accept the one and leave the other to the
less wise. The figures during the week have ap-
proxmated la@ll cts. to the New Orleans quo
tations, parties accepting all upon the market
without regard TO classification. For low and
good ordinary cotton this is one Of the best mar
kets in the world. All classes Of merchants are
buying more cotton this than any preceding sea-
son.. BY wedging in few groceries, some dry
for cotton in small lots than would justify regular
buyers. Round lots by this class of dealers are
ignored, but the prices paid in merchandise and
money for the small lots, put the figures so
well upon the legitimate buyers, that their chances
Of profits dwindle into feverish uncertainty, and in
fact have ruled some out Of the market. Texas
very wisely still clings to specie basis of circu-
lation, her people are always ready to accept
gold bids for cotton. The tumble in gold created
quite panic among buyers and the greater part
Of the week lively transactions have been made in
this way-hoping the advantages in gold 10 this
market against New Orleans would indemnify the
high prices paid for cotton. The features In the
general market are active and heavy especially
IN staple groceries and dry goods. The yeomanry
Of the country are here buying in exchange for |
cotton the needful necessaries. Heavy stocks are
being bought and shipped west and the gain of |
time and expense justifying the difference in price
IL any over other markets. Correctly we might |
add trade in every line is liberal. Money abund-
ant. Weather brsciDg. River still declining, yet
coed navigation eleven arrivals and eleven de-. \
partures during the week. Health of the city |
good.
