PATROL MISSISSIPPI LEvEE

Vicksburg Miss, April 4.-Day and night patrolling of the levees in the third Mississippi river district started today when the high water in the Mis- sippi passed the forty five-foot mark and the flood stage here.
 The river. continues to rise at the rate of seven-tenths of foot each twenty -four hours, and while stage of fifty-o one feet has been forecast for this point. it is now believed that with the recent rains and the flooded con- dition of all tributary streams that a much higher mark will be reached. All of the government levee crews are at their stations and repairs are being made to all points damaged by the re- cent rains. A large acreage of culti- vated land between the Red river and the Arkansas river is under water and all local boats are busy removing live stock and personal effects to the. city Sacks have been shipped to every sta tion on the levees and there is large supply on hand here for emergency work
 All the lowlands are flooded from the recent heavy rains and as the stage in the Mississippi becomes higher the passage of the water will be delayed until the crest has passed.

Weekly Financial Review

New Orleans, April Alt was princi- paIly a weather market in cotton last week. with the trade chiefly concerned over moisture as the result of the effect of excessive rains in many important sections of the belt. The week closed with sentiment generally bullish because of the further rains that were falling.
 According to official returns the en- tire belt was drenched Wednesday and Wednesday night, with the rains continu-
 ing into Thursday east of the Mississippi river. Buying was based on the mois- ture because of it's probable effect in
 making later start for the new crop all the later. With the adverse weather, however, there were favorable returns from localities here and there in ese southern half of the belt as regards planting and private bureau report is- sued from Washington claimed that preparations were fairly well advanced, on the whole. in northern and central portions of the cotton area
 There was some selling in the early part of the week on the claim from Gen. tral Texas that land in some counties in that section of the state was all ready for the seed but this in the estimation
 Of some traders was balanced by the complaint from Southern Texas that seed was germinating slowly because of cool weather, Planting was reported in
 Louisiana in the Baton Rouge district and rather extensively. at that.
 This week promises to see interest in the new crop situation increase as the stage of the new season has been reached when much seed should be go- ing into the ground. over the greater part of the southern half of the fSlu , Good Friday is quite generally used N the date on which to commence plant ing and if reports of the near, future indicate planting is being hindered the I demand for contracts will be increased. ! On the other hand brokers circulars in- dicate plainly that the trade expects a considerable selling movement should
 weather and crop conditions improve, l The market is now more inclined than l for several years past to get away from outside conditions and to pay more at tention to conditions immediately sur
 rounding the cotton industry, either m i it's manufacturing or growing branches. For this reason political news of late
 has not had the effect such news form 1 erly had.

WATERS DRIVING MANY FROM HOMES
 AT CHATTANOOGA
School Buildings In River Section Filled With Refu- gees and Household
 Goods
By Associated Press

chattanooga. Tenn. April 4-The Tennessee river had reached stage of 42S feet by dark here tonight, was steadily rising and promises to reach the crest of 4S.5 feet sometime before morning.
 Ali during the hours of last night and today families were being moved from their homes as the flood waters took possession. The school buildings were mass of humanity and furni- ture, all worldly possessions of the refugees being carried along.
 All that section including the base ball park and the acres of lowlands north of orchard Knob. headquarters of Gen. Ulysses s. Grant during the battle of Missionary Ridge. was GOV cred by many feet of water, and the residents most of them negroes, were busy moving out all during the day
 In the southern part of the city many
 residences were entirely suomerged' while families could be seen lounging | on their porches at many places With the water literally tapping over the siIls. In this section also several ln- dustrial plants are inundated. All the brick manufacturing plants along the
 river have been forced to shut down 1 Travel by the main pike to Lookout i Mountain and St. Elmo has been halted
 by an overflow at the latter suburb { while all roadways leading to S1Snal Mountain are submerged.
 The sections of the city covered by water have been the mecca for the Easter crowds today, thousands lining the high points and watching the ris- ing tide and the efforts of the victims and activities of the refugees in nov ing from their homes.
 On account of the prompt action of the city authorities there has been
 little suffering among the victims oi the flood, past experiences having mad the problem of handling difficult i situation less difficult.
 Great excitement was caused among threatened residents tonight by rumors
 that dam had broken above the city
 and that deluge of water was pour ing into the already submerged section
 in the eastern outksirts of the city.
 The report probably emanated from
 the fact that the water had broker
 over the railroad tracks at the Citice yards this naturally affecting the sec
 tion south of this point to some extent

RAPID RISE OF NATCHEz

Natchez Miss. April 4.-The rate of rise in the Mississippi here has in- creased to foot a day and the gauge here tonight stands at 4S4 feet, with stage of fifty-one feet expected, which will be close to the high water mark
 The government fleet is fully pre- pared and can reach any point in the district within few hours Engineers are confident that the levees can stand the stage forecast, At Kemps Bend the bank has been cavng but as yet the levee is unaffected. Clear weather is now prevailing but in the Black, ouiehita Little and Tensas rivers the water is still rising on account of the recent rains, and as there are no levees on these streams large amount of low land is under water
