 New Orleans, La, Aug. 9-Another improvement to the e2tent of four English points better than expected at Liverpool caused higher levels of val ues in America today, October in New Orleans selling as high as l2. 67 com pared with 12. 50 at the close yesterday, while the September position touched tofore unknown for this pericd of the year. Weather was the domintting influence and Ss Ta-.es, and Tn fact all of the Southwest, was still In the the Mississippi and temperatures, if anything. higher than yesterday. Liv- erpool cabled that market was infuenc- ed by the drouth.
 The general average maximum tenn perature for the district of Oklahoma was 100; for the districts of Galveston. LittleRock, Vicksburg and New Orleans 9S: for the entire belt, 96. vs 95 yester- day
 Advices from Texas, all sections now becoming affected, are getting worse with every additional day of such tor rid weather. It is not only from the Southern and central portions of the State that unfaVorable crop accounts are beng received, as reports from North Texas today are to the effect that the plant is also shedding badly in that section, and not few of such complaints have been sent in from points in Louisiana, Arkansas, the two Territories. Mississippi and Alabama.
 Rumor has 1t that the National Gln- ner's Association, which made condt- ton of crop 75.7 on August l, against 75 by the government, will issue re- port on next Monday, showing conol- ton of the crop on an average date ol August 10. This period will have GOV cred the greater part of the present not wave, and it remains to be seen at to what effect 1t has had upon the crop.
 Traders are exercising caution at this level, realizing that prices. while not relatively high in comparison to the abnormally high quotations for comparatively dear when compnreo with comparative prices on the eve or the marketing of a new crop, and TOT this reason are more inclined to await developments rather than follow the advance any further. However, It IS not a matter of choice, and 1t is prob able that the market will work stiII higher in event of no rellet by ralh over night especially if conditions re- main unchanged over Sunday. If rains should mabe their appearance in Tex as, or in any other section of the Southwest that would cause apprehen- sion lest they visit Texas, the market might experience a sharp break. prob ably 30 or 40 points, and It IS for thls reason that longs have to great eX- tent liquidated their holdings. In the event of rain. a wire from our friends would be appreciated.
 Yours Truly.
