Especial to News and Observer
New Orleans. La, June 9.-Early Liv-
erpool advices were disappointing, but
our market opened l to . points higher
on near months and 6 points on late,
owing to the absence of rain throughout
the belt over Sunday. The subsequent
firmness in Liverpool, coupled to reports
from Texas that rain was beginning to
be badly needed caused an additional i'm
provement of to points. After this
demand subsded selling to realize occa-
stoned easiness, making the net gain or
the day to points on old crop months
and TO points on new. Ahe weekly
weather report, which will be issued to-
morrow is expected to be less favorable.
Berlin cables state that the American
financial situation caused renewed con-
cern and particularly as a result of ru-
mors of disagreements in the manage
ment of the United States Steel Corpora
tion. The Galveston News issued a
crop statement today for the State of
Texas, reporting reduction of l 9-10ths
per cent in acreage and the boil weevil
is reported in thirty-seven counties.
Manchester cables state there were no
signs Of the anticipated Improvement in
the cloth market last week. The effec-
tive demand from China was limited. and
the Indian enquirer was largely imprac-
ticable Weather conditions will con-
tinue to regulate values. If rains soon
take place in Texas values will probably
decline and on the other hand con-
tinuance of dry weather in that State
may force prices higher

Battle Ground Made Sacred.

Old soldiers on Memeria. day live
again in the memories of the past.
The fierce battles and weary marcnes
are looked back to with pride. OF
the sanguinary day at Gettysburg an
eastern writer says:
Reader, when you visit the field Of
the first days fight, and you walk
past the spot where reynolds fell,
and enter the woods where every
gnarled tree is torn by shot and shen,
you will see a line of monuments
crossing your pain. Pause wher you
reach them, stand for a time by the
stone that marks the center of the
rwenty-fourth Michigan Regiment
and recall the day of the battle. You
will then be standing near the center
of the Iron Brigade. On the right of
that organization was the brigade OF
Roy Stone, and on the left that OF
Col. Chapman Biddle. Walk the line
of these brigades from right to left
ah, yes, you may walk the line of the
whole First Corps-and you cannot
step without treading upon ground
every inch of which was saturated
and made sacred by the blood of
heroes"

to move along. Shouts of "Hurrah,"
Hurrah!" greeted his ears from every
side. Proudly he lifted his head and
threw his shoulders back with unc
tious military dignity.
The ovation continued with increas-
ed enthusiasm as they passed up the
street. Someone tried to retaliate
with a "Hurrah for the boys OF '61i"
but the voice was lost in the lusty
tide of cheering for THE boys of $751;"
Following the squad of soldiers came
a bicycle brigade, men on horseback,
and, lastly, wagon loads of flower
girls dressed in white-wagons for
strong, healthy girls, while decrepit
old veterans must go afoot.
AS the long line rounded a corner
and passed from the boulevard into an
east and west thoroughfare, Weak
Eyed Jones tottered. Bravely he pull
ed his remaining strength together
and ambled on, his ALTERING footsteps
unable to beat time to the rapid mu-
sic. Many of his comrades, too, had
4.
And how few they numbered now
these veterans!
Mount Zion cemetery was a beauti-
full spot-lifted above woods and sky
just beyond where the lake nestled
quietly between two hillsides-the val
ley, with its ribbon of a rivulet, wind
ing verdure-laden at its woody base,
the azure heavens outlining its great
white gates, its marble monuments,
its Towering shrubbery, its trees of
green, with rare exactness beyond.
Weak-Eyed Jones raised his eyes to
the hill yet in the distance. He could
see but the outline of the hallowed
spot rising against the lurid sky. His
spirit was awed! The heavy march
was telling on his weakened body, his
steps were getting more and more I'M
certain. A momentary dizziness came
over him.
"Hark!" Suddenly the music of the
flies and drums fioated to his ears with
a strangely familiar sound. II took
him back to the front again, back to
the days of '63! Once more he was a
youth-strong, vigorous, in arms!
And could this, then, be Thomas bril-
gade?-and yonder-yonder hill-Mis-
sionary Ridge where, proudly drawn
in battle array, the Confederate
legions awaited them calmly with a
welcome of leaden death?
And whence all this rub-a-dub-dub
rub-a-dub-dub, that fired the very
blood within the veins? All! Foolish
question! Why ask when there was
Soffels, the drummer boy? Nobody
but Soffels could drum like that! Sof-

and true-now gay. gay as the morn
ing sunlight; now sad-sad as the

Take the rifle-pits at the base, then

heard the order as clear as on the
day it fired the souls of thousands of
Union soldiers to battle and to vic
tory. The march OF many feet was
heard; the CLINT of polished bayonets
seen. The stars and stripes stood
