The st. Louis Republican
suggests the construction of
river steamers with iron hulls.
Iron vessels having been found
as profitable on the ocean as
those of wood, it is inferred
that iron steamboats, might
equally be substituted for the
fiimsily constructed wooden
boats now running, The cata-
logue of frightful disasters by
fire, culminatingin the destruc-
ton of the Stonewall, makes
this inquiry one of the deepest
interest.

LOUISIANA CONGRESSMEN.-A
special dispatch from Washington
states that it is generally believed
there that the Committee on Elec-
tions OF the House of Representa-
tives have concluded to report adj.
versely to the claims of the mem
berS elect, and will recommend
another election for Congressman
to serve the present session. The
full committee will take up the
cases Of the Louisiana members
the first week in December, and
it is expected the decision arrived
at will be adopted by Congress.
In this event there must neces-
sarily be an early election in this
State for representatives.

For the past week the weather
was rather on the changeable or
der. We had at least two cloudy
days altogether, but not enough
rain fell to effect the river. After
a heavy thunder storm yesterday
morning it cleared Off cold with a
strong wind blowing from the
west.
Navigation above this point has
ceased entirely. Boats no longer
even attempt to make the trip to
Cypress bayou, much to the regret
OF the inhabitants of the wilder
ness. The water is still falling,
with a good prospect Of the lakes
going dry.
Between this point and the
mouth Of the river boats, even
with light loads, meet a good deal
Of detention. The worst bars,
COushatta and o. K, only afford
two feet of water and falling. The
best of them only afford three
feet, including the falls at Alexan-
dria. The river below the falls
is about as bad as above.
Since our last weekly report
the river opposite this point re-
coded at the rate Of two inches in
a hours, and last night SO inches
below the lowest water mark of
the season.
Business only tolcrable on the

the water South Western, 18th.

Commercial Intelligence.
SOUTH WESTERN OFFICE,
Shreveport, Nov. II. 1869

The business of the past week
was not quite up to the correspon-
ding week last year. The jobbing
trade was only passable, nothing
near what it should for the stocks
on hand. Large quantities OF
goods could be jobbed off on a
credit, but our merchants prefer
their goods in the store rather
than have them scattered all over
the country. We fear the credit
system is taking hold on many
who have means to pay for what
they need. The wagon trade was
very good most of the week. This
trade is getting to be a considera-
BILE item to our merchants. The
retail trade proper was very fair.
The receipts of the staple tor the
week ending last night, reached
1894 bales, about half of which
changed hands. The market
opened last Wednesday, weak at
20 to 2O4c. in currency for low
middling, since which time the
tendency has been upwards
Thursday, POI to 203; Friday, 2O4
to 208; Saturday, 2O& to q, and
Monday, 2O4 to 2l4c. Yeterday
the receipts reached sol bales.-
The maket was stiff throughout
the day. We quote as follows
for low middiing: In currency, q
to 213c., and in specie, 161 to 1890.
A small lot of middling sold for
lie. in specie. AS a general thing
our bankers keep well supplied
! with funds.
