NEW ORLEANS, March t4.-Developments
in connection with the cotton market today
were quite significant, but the average
conduced to quiet tone. Liverpool again re-
fused to slide off uncerenonously and only
reported a decline of 2h-64 in deliveries with
spots marked off 80, which was not SUM-
Gent to stimulate the courage of operators on
this side who were Influenced yesterday to OPP
pose the rise in prices on account OF the
probable strike at Fall River SO that opening
transactions here were in the nature Of re-
peated short covering which established mod
crate Improvement. but subsequently fresh
offerings were attracted by the heavy weekly
movement. though the visible supply showed a
substantial reduction for the week and served
to maintain steady tone. Closing quotations
are LA points higher than yesterday.
The Fall River strike feature is equally dis
quieting to both sides Bulls contend that
hourishing conditions of home business in
manufactured goods will not permit mills. to
remain idle while bears fearful that a
prompt adjustment OF present labor Difficult
ties may be accomplished and exert stirnu-
iating effect on the market. Meanwhile be-
tween the undiminished movement and unani
nous reports of depleted interior stocks in
conjunction with the prevailing level of price
traders are kept In state of uncertainty.

NEW YORK. March l4.-There was plenty
OF bull talk early in the day. but friends Of
cotton were not inclined to be demonstrative
and failed to take advantage of encouraging
cables and a very small movement. prices

smaller movement is beginning TO attract more
attention, but We are far ahead of last

people that the crop will not greatly exceed
the bureau figures. despite the deluse of
ports claiming Early petering out every
where. The more distant positions free
iy sold the first hour, but the general mar
kst kept UP well on the whole The expecta-
tion was that Liverpool would be ruled by
the market here. Closing cables were 2ts
lower. The in sight figures for the week were
ia 600 and had depressing effect. the total
movement having now reached 8. $50 900 since
Sept L. The statistical situation at Liver
pool shows little change during the week.
The stocks OF all kinds increased | | 900 bales
and now 50 900 greater than last year.
The afoat stock lost 5000 bales during the
week and is now j. 900 more than last year.
Numerous Georgia reports indicate decreased
acreage. The, drought in North Texas which
was broken early in the week, appears to
have given an entire different aspect to the
condition in that State, the rainfall having
been high as inches in some sections. The
complete change has had the effect of chang

feared very backward start for the crop

A TRIBUTE OF MEMORY.

l There passed away from life's selfisf | scenes to place where the soul Is saic to dwell, one of Natures noblemen James M. Alston. who died April 17th
 1902. at his home in Montgomery, Ala. The writer had the privilege of his best friendship in those tragic days following the close of our great Elar, in which he was a gallant and conspicuous actor. Laying down our arms as Confederate
 soldiers, only to resume them again in
 defense of a principle that could not rest
 in abeyance, we were thrown much to-
 gether in that section of Georgia, of
 which the Counties of Lee, Sumter and
 Dougherty were the centre. to which as to all the South the theatre of war had
 been tranferred in another form.
 Often have met him. in those times of
 trial His home was our castle. our place of refuge. There he and his three brave
 brothers lived. Young, attractive, by
 birth and education, loyal to the last degree, fearless to thrilling audacity, their home became shrine to which our hearts turned when pressed by dangers too severe to meet alone.
 There men went, who had won the hon. or hy some overt act. pursued by armed minions of the Government, knowing they would find an asylum from which no rescue could be made except at the death of these glorious friends of the | South. f4
 James M. Alston. "Tobe.'' as his friends | knew him. was the next oldest of the l four brothers, and as l see him now | down the vista of those eventful days. he | was a hero among heroes. a born cavalier. Wherever he was liberty abided, faith | was made more enduring. courage was | exalted, and devotion to friends and | country immortalized.
 His material success in life was hin- dered by his heroic ideals. but he has left in the hearts of his friends a memory | doubly dear by reason of the sacrifice | made to preserve a far better heritage | than he lost
 If flowers could spring from hls deeds of virtue. of sacrificial allegiance to the highest form of human duty, and bloom | upon his grave, his last resting place | would present a gem to earth, to conse- l crate itwith it's best possessIon-the body | of . brave Hisn. R- C. II

COLONEL rIsDALE's sUIT.
Court of Appeals Reverses the Low,
 CT Case.

News was received yesterday by the United States District Attorney that the Federal Court of Appeals sitting in New Orleans had reversed the court of this district in the case of the United States against William H. Tisdale.
 Colonel Tisdale was United States Mar shal at Montgomery between 1893 and 1896. He sued the government for certain fees disallowed by the auditing depart ment at Washington. The amount sued for was q. 500 and Colonel Tisdale secured a judgment for about $f.500. The govern ment appealed the case and the decision of the Court of Appeals brings 1t lack to Montgomery for retrial
