Shreveport, August 5, 1868.
Business the past week about dull the most
indolent could desire. Nothing whatever doing.
For the want of something BETTER the advancein gold
rather the depreciation of greenbacks, occupied the
attention of some few of the energetic of our
merchants but the lethargy of the majority not
moved. Large balances due Europe, with cotton lower
in Liverpool than New York. compel remittanees to be
made in gold This doubt the prime of the
advance in coin. The amount RENTED last week was
nearly 100000.
COTTON-For the condition Of our cotton market,
we refer to the following;
REPORT OF GREGG & MARrIN-Tuesdav August a.
The transactions in leading staple the past week
have been upon such limited scale that it is hardly
worthy of note It is conceded by those who have given
their attention to the growth and receipts of cotton at
this port that the interior for many years past was
never so bare of cotton at present. We are con-
vinced from diligent inquiry with many of plan
ters that the miller fly and genuine cotton worm have
made their appearance Should the weather continue
unfavorable as the preceding two weeks much dam
age will be the result but it is belived not to the
tent of last season. However, under ordinary crcum-
stances it is estimated that onehaf cotton will
be received at this port than last season. which was
something over IS 900 bales We quote cotton in this
market, nomnally, 24M25c for low middling
