OF Augusta, WAS Alonzo NJ. Littleheld.
formerly OF Augusta. But who had not
heen in the city since the days of the
Civil War. Mr.. Littlefield was born at
Abhotts corner. and came to Augusta
for the purpose of looking once more
upon the scenes of his childhood. In
speaking of the old home, he said that
someone had told him that the house
was burned. long ago, but that made
no difference, he said, With tears in his
eyes, for he could go back and find the
cellar, and know that it marked the
spot where once stood the old homa
which held all that was dear to him.
Mr.. I.ittefield was a member ot the
21st Maine Infantry and later of the
I'd Maine Heavy Artillery, and after
ward saw service in the navy. Sine
the war he has lived in different places
in Massachusetts, and has followed the
sea fer many years.

Concessions Made on the Low
Grades April Weather to
Determine Crop Acreage.

MEMPHIS. TENN. March 29.-Sharing
hOnoTs as a market factor with the dis
pOssl of the unsold portion of the crop, is
the weather affecting the new crop start.
During the past few days a new factor
has been thrust into the situation. the
prospect Of floods In the Mississippi valley
and the tremendous losses sustained I'm
various parts Of the country from storms,
floods and fire. While il is too early TO
arrive at any conclusions "a 10 the extent
Of influence on the probable yield Of the
new crop, IL Is realized by students Of
the situation that general business in this
country will feel the effects Of this ca
amity. With the money market already
tight due chiefly to conditions in Europe,
this additional burden can hardly escape
being a factor that will reach the ranks
of cotton consumers. and II may prove
enough TO cause them to reduce their pur-
ChaSeS of raw material.
Demand for spot cotton for the past
week has been fair. though the bad wire
service and unsettled state Of affairs in so
much Of this country has perhaps restrict
ed business TO some extent At this CEN
ter, which has the largest stock OF unsold
cotton in the belt there has been a mod
crate volume of business, with quotations
shaded as a rule 10 induce business.
Middling upland has been quoted at 1850,
but most Of the business has been done
in other kinds, such as creeks and the
lower grades Of staples and benders, and
il mas been on such that concessions in
price have been granted.
After tina contract market advanced on
me news from EUROPE lual peace HtttIit-ti
assured at an early date. and after the
unfavorable weather over the belt, some
disposition was shown by holders to
~tiffen their prices a little, but business
at quotations was not refused. Domestic
spuners have been the hest buyers.
though exporters have been more disposed
To- take a hand since the Liverpool mar

seen its climax, thus giving a basis for
expectations of some revival Of business
i'm quarters where it has been restricted

II is impossible to give anything like
an accurate line on the new crop start.
although advantage has been taken Of the
favora BILE weather of the early part Of
March 20 push preparations as far as
possible. The storms Of the past two
weeks however have complicated the sit
uation and checked work. though chiefly
i'm the lowlands II win he ten days or
two weeks before the extent Of the high
waters can be known, and thus in a large
part Of this section Of the belt there will
be an almost complete stOppage Of work
Should the levees break there win per

year and maybe a decrease, but II they
hold and rains do not continue. there is
ample time 20 get planting done at a

few weeks will be very important and
may be a determinative factor in acre
age devoted to cotton and other crops.
