SouTH-WEsTERN OFFICE,


Shreveport, October 10, 1870.
Although trade improved somewhat during the week
yet has not up the expectations OF merchants
The continued low price of cotton induces planters
hold back for better time, which they hope is coming
We venture to speculate upon the future OF cot
ton though it is certain proposition that it is now de
pendent upon the condition of Europe Antelope, the
reliable (at least generally consdered), New ork
correspondent of the Pcayune thus writes under date
of the 7th, in regard to peace
Certain it is at this hour the world at large IS pro-
foundy ignorant of anything that bears the tantest re-
semblance to peace though the dove might appear at
any moment. The cotton trade and foreign bankers
look at the political horizon with anxious eyes, and
well they may, for millions upon millions are at stake,
and even few weeks will make important differ
ence with them. Cotton kept from France and Ger
many will find its way to Liverpool and what Is feared
is that the stock will up in the latter market
that prices will break beneath the weight, and thus
bring further loss upon not on the Southern States
but upon the North we'll.
In this market low middling has hucuated very little
during the week-l31lc. being the highest quotation
and l2M the lowest Yesterday The market was 'quiet
but firm at the following figures good ordinary l2A

The hange is essentially necessary to the perfection
of the gin, by it each takes the cotton up
into its own department. never allowing it to reach
over to any other saw.
By it also the cotton is kept in contact with the
either side until stripped of the FIBRE and then i'm
mediately discharged, and thus by keeping clean

in given time is increased at least so per cent.

does not require skilled hand to attend it.
