SoUTH- WESTERN OFFICE,
Shreveport, April 20, 1870.

Shreveport, April ~, 1870. J
Cotton has not fluctuated more
than is its wont, and appearances
would Indicate that the market
will continue in a healthy condi-
ton unto the end. At all events,
there is little prospect of any
marked decline-so say the know
ing ones. Our buyers continue to
pay New Orleans prices, with the
hope of "a rise before their purchase
reaches the city. Complaints of
commission merchants, loss of
weight, 60, &c., have for years
been chronic with buyers and
planters. Indeed, it has always
been remarkable what distrust
OF the commission merchants of
New Orleans prevades the minds
of these two classes--the universal
opinion prevailing that frail hu.
man nature is not competent to
resist the temptations that con-
stantly beset the pathway of the
merchant. But this opinion true
or false, it is certainly desirable
that this region of country should
have more than our market for it's
cotton, as competition would les
sen those restrictions which ham,
per trade and cripple the interests
of shippers. In this connection,
we are pleased to see from the st.
Louis Democrat that an old and
experienced business man there,
expresses the opinion, that the
establishment of O cotton press in
East st. Louis, added to the run
ming OF steamers regularly to Red,
Arkansas and Whiterivers, would
inevitably result in that city be-
coming an important point for the
receipt and sale of cotton.
Business yesterday was by no
means active. Cotton was in fair
demand at the outside figures of
our quotations, though factors
were disposed to hold off for better
price. We repeat our quotations
of yeSterday:
