 New Orleans, Aug. 29.-There was anoth- CT upward turn in the market today "a result of an increased demand for spot cot ton in England, sales at Liverpool amount Ing to the large total of 14.000 on the ba- sis of 746d for middling, points lower
 Except for a trace at San Antonio, there was rain over night In the district-1of New Orleans. Vieksburg, Little Rock and the maximum temperatures averaged ninety-six degrees except for Little Rock where it averaged 9s vs. 96 yesterday but no returns were received from district of Oklahoma. where the average yesterday fig ured 100 degrees. It Is probable the market would have been more active and perhaps elevated to higher level than attained thus far this season, were it not for the fact that with the expiration of tomorrow both American markets will remain closed until next Tuesday in observance of labor day. At the moment there are no signs observable that will indicate a break in the prevailing dry weather for the entire belt. except part cloudy weather and prob ably showers for West Texas. Under the circumstances It Is probable that deteriora- tfon has begun to set in in the Mississippi valley and may eventually become serious in this important portion of the belt.
 As to conditions west of the Mississippi river there is no doubt of their becoming worse with the existence of such torrid weather which has already taken the vi- tality out of the cotton in two-thirds of Texas However. there may be some liquid ation of long contracts in order to even up accounts over the triple holiday, traders not caring to chance the possibility of raIn in the interval which might occasion an easier market tomorrow unless shorts be- come the more timid by covering to a great CT extent than longs the danger to the bear being as great in event of drought entering September.
 The three days suspension of business makes it more than a speculative risk to carry contracts unhedged until trade Is re- sumed on the 3rd. of next month, conse- uently traders can reasonably expect quite change in prices be 1t in favor. against the market, when operations are resumed next Tuesday.
 Any break of importance we think, should It come to pass. would be short lived for the reason that contracts are already al

Sep tember being lower under some scattering Iluuidatfon, while later months were higher on better cables and expected large English spot sales and bullish crop advices. There was a demand for September right after the opening, in spite of rumors that notices A,gould be neavy tomorrow ard the whole list firIned up during the sarly DeSsion with active months selling eleven joints net higher on covering and bull support. reaction of three to four points was fol- lowed by a second bulge during the middle session which carried the market to within a point or so of yesterdays hign records, but later prices eased off quite sharply un-' der realizing and selling for a turn.

CHtCA9O GHAtN AND fhODuVE.
 Chicago, Aug. 29.--Liquidation In the sep tember option caused a highly nervous mar ket in wheat today At the close Septem- Der wheat was off hc to Nc at se% Ac. Corn was Sc higher. Oats were down Nc. Provisions were 5@30c lower.
 The wheat market opened higher despite general selling in the December option. Sep tember was not sold so heavily at the open ing but later liquidation in this option set in and the market fell off readily Prices did not respond quickly to the buliisn news received Among these were higher Liver pool cables, decrease of 1.200,o ooo bushels at Minneapolis and small shipments from Argentina. Whenever the market advanc- ed slightly in response to these influences, the advance was met by a flood of selling orders that carried prices down again. The decline at the close resulted in good de- mand for export.
 septsmberwheat opened Nc to, 1bc high CT at e1c to 91 hc, sold between Sshc and s1hc and closed weak at S9% O %c.
 The corn market opened firm but declin- ed later in sympathy with wheat. The early bulge followed reports of heavy rains in Iowa and Illinois. which 1t is believed will do no good to the crop at the present time. Cables were higher and far ue- mand was reported.
 september corn opened %c to %c high er at soc to 60Ac, sold between 59%c ana s0Ac.s and closed easy at 5s%c. The oats market was dull all day put prices withstood the bear movement Jar better than any other grain

Southern Railways Expenditures In
crease over $4,000, 600.

The hearing at the Southern Railways
Offices yesterday before a master in
chauccry IN the matter Of the North Car
olina rate act was taken up largely by
the fling Of statements and figures for
which counsel for the State had asked
during cross-examiHatiou, but which took
time for preparation, Probably the most
Interesting Of these figures were those ex-
planning the large increase IN the cost Of
operation for the fiscal year ended June
80. 1866. as compared with the previous
year. The figures show an increase in
gross earnings amounting TO S3.Ol6.5Jj. an
increase in operating expenses amounting
to S47S4. AS. and a decrease in net earn
ings amounting To nearly S2.W0 900.
In the denomination Of Comptroller
Plant, Of the Southern, some questions
were asked critical of the methods
adopted by the road for computing pas
senger and freight earnings and for COM
putting operating expenses. Mr.. Plant
showed that the methods followed were
those prescribed by the North Carolina
corporation commission and by the Inter
