SOUTHWESTERN OFFICE,

SOUTH w ESTERN OFFICE,
Shreveport Jan. 20, 1859. {
! The past week has been busy one on the leyee
though our retailers have not enjoyed an unusually
good trade. Many of our best business men regard
their prosperity more apparent than real The fact is
onr merchants do not make the profits upon sales
that they should, and many express the onnon that
they are doing business good deal for buncombe.
Indeed, one firm, who are crowded with business as
sured, us that they were losing money every day
being slowly bat surely eaten I'D by expenses and we
are certain that this was not simply talk We know
from personal observation that the profits upon staple
groceries do not pay the expenses of handling leaving
out OF the question those OF clerks hire house rent
&C. Fifty cents barrel on -four is considered mao
nhcent business; getting out even on salt ditto and
80 clear gain on cask of clear sides is clearly case
of good fortune We do not write this idy but they
are facts patent at least the merchants themselves
How country merchants find it to their advantage
to pass through Shreveport to lay in their stocks puz
zLes us greatly. Nor the profits upon dry goods
much greater twill be by reference to our price
lists that prints and staple dry goods be purchased
here very nearly as cheap as in New York
Our country friends possibly may dscredit this and
fancy that the Shreveport merchants are "devilish
sharp" So they think of the cotton buyers; but they
must recolect that gamblers by nature in one
form or another, and that under the excitement and
stimulus OF competition, business be guilty of
toles as well as other people. The question is whether
their fellow men have moral right to take advantage
of their folly.
The cotton market has 1uctuated very little during
the past week. On Friday middng brought CSC in
curr ency, and indeed, heard of this offer being
made for a rather fancy lot Monday but the ruling
prices for the week the basis of 22c. in cur
'ency and 1870. in gold for middIing.
In response to the bouyancy of the market in Liver
POOL there decidedly upward tendency yesterday.
Three Of prominent cotton factors gave different
quotations, which would to indicate excitement
N the part of buyers -some of whom probably
uying wild. The fact there is very little strictly
niddling cotton that to this market. The fol-
owing is correct quotation in currency could
rrive at: Good ordinary 22@22gc. low middlng
