men, and attendants in stores, to
obtain a holiday Oh the first day
Of the week, and extensive strikes
are nov threatening to secure this
object. This move is warmly sup
ported by the religious papers
who assert that the working PEG

Shreveport, Nov. "a, 1863. {
The wholesale business during
the past week was only passable.
There was nothing like a rush of
orders or buyers on the spot. The
orders were principally light ones
and the buyers rather chary of
what they bought. The wholesale
erOcers had rather a better trade
than the rag and notion men, ow-
Ing to the presence of a number
Of jefferson merchants, who pur-
chased pretty extensively for
country merchants. The wagon
ers' trade was very good during
the entire week. The retail trade
proper was very fair. We shall
hare to enter the past week as a
tolerable fair one for our mer-
chants. The receipts of cotton
for the week were 1854 bales. The
market last Wednesday was &C.
tive at 163 to 1850. in specie for
low middling; on Thursdays, 164
to TIC; on Friday, 164 to 174c.; on
Saturday, 16a to lie. and on Mon
day 164 to 1899. Gold ruled at
129 to 100. About 1900 bales
changed hands. The receipts yes
terday reached SIS bales, of which
about 300 changed hands. Dur
ing the forepart of the day the
market was rather brisk, but to
wards night there was nothing do
ing, owing to there being no boats
in port to ship on. We quote as
follows: Low middling, in gold,
164 to 1890, and in currency, 81
to 2l3c. Our bankers appear to
be doing well in the this country.
