LITTLE CHANGE AT MEMPHIS.
Believed That the Levees Will Hold
 the High Waters.

Memphis, Tenn, March 3.-There is lit- tie change in the river situation tonight, although the waters are stiil slowly rising. The gauge tonight shows a stage of 34,3, a foot and three-tenths above the danger line.
 The weather bureau has given notice that it will hold its facilities in readiness to issue special flood warnings should the situation take a turn for the worse.
 It is expected that the river from Mem phis to Helena, Ark, will show but little change in the next day or two. It is thought very probable at the end of that time that the waters will take a sudden boom and that past records may be smashed and untold damage be done. The engineers are still confident of the levees holding, even if the flood reaches the highest ever recorded. But little ap7 prehension is felt for the old embank, ments. and 1t is thought that should breaks occur they will be on that part of the levee system which has been newly constructed.

At their plantation near Sprague Junction Walter Brothers had made an excep- tionally fine crop. They were able to hold their product and they did so. It was safely housed in Montgomery ware houses and the far-seeing planters watched the market.
 The excitable fluctuations of the cotton market during the past elght months IS matter of history. It went to 1-2, 8, 8 12 and finally to cents. Then it went down again.
 Not for d minute, however, were Wal ter brothers or MT. Underwood tempted to sell. They had declared for 10 cents cotton and their time came.
 Yesterday morning an offer of 10 cents was made by MT. Terrell for the lump lot Waiter brothers lost no time in clinching the trade and MT. Underwood followed suit.
 The deal was consummated in a brief time on Lower Commerce Street and the 2,30O bags of cotton were in the posses sion of MT. Terrell and $l15,o 900 in cash was in possession of Walter brothers and MT. Underwood.
