Commercial Intelligence.
SOUTH WESTERN OFFICE,
Shrnvepnrt Fob O 1877

SOUTH w ESTERN OFFICR,
Shreveport, Feb. 9, 1870
The business of the week ending last night has not
footed up entirely the satisfaction of our merchan is
generally, either wholesale or retail Some of the
heavy grocers on the eyee, and one two jobbing
houses on Texas street expressed themselves content
but the retail trade has not been extra good by any
means. This is probably attributable to the fact that
planters are busy making preparations for the new
crop.
Our railroad friends thought we did them some in
justice IN the commercial remarks that appeared in
last weekly ISSUE in speaking of the delays incurred
IN having freight forwarded We think they were
wrong We merely stated fact which they themselves
are free to confess Whilst we would be very far from
writing anything calculated inure the prospects of
the road, we still express the opinion that the
employment of additional hands, and probably clerks,
during the press of the winter months would enable
tnem to give more general satisfaction. Labor is,
however very scarce and it is not altogether certain
that 1t could be procured In evidence of the energy
eVlnced in the management of the road, Mr. John F.
Dickson, Superintendent has kindly sent from
Marshall statement of the business done in January
1870 compared with that of the corresponding month
OF 1869 From it we learn that the earnings for the
month of January, 1862 $23,108 Is and for the
month in 1870 $48 228 49, showing increase of
Bales OF cotton delivered IN shreveport
January, 1862 $685. January, 1870, II ,535-ncrease
of 5432 bales. Tons of freight carried in the former
month, 2413 in the latter, 5,O31an increase off 6l8
tons This certainly speaks well for the prosperity OF
the road and for its management. Notwithstanding
this the fact remains tn merchants and draymen COM
pain-the former of the delay in forwarding, and the
latter of the delay in receiving freights If it were
practicable for this evil to be remedied it would GER
ainly be better for ali partes-merchants, draymen
and railroad company We are aware that these an
1oyances experienced on nearly every road in the
South resulting from the fact that the business of al
most entire year in the cotton region is crowded
nto few months.
In reference to this subject would remark, that
merchant from Sherman in this place yesterday on
lis way to New York, and expressed determination
0 ship his goods up Red River He remarked that the
Texas Central could not begin to do the business, and
hat he has had goods in transit since August. The
