Over S. R. Stewards Wire

New Orleans, August 6.-While gen. eral news was quieter, weather develop ments provided a stronger bullish out look, inasmuch as the tropical storm has apparently passed into the gulf and has taken the usual northeasterly course. So far it is yet pretty we'll out to sea but even if it should not pass inland, it is likely to develop Q period of rainy weather over the Atlantics, which would be unfavorable at this time. The droath situation continues unchanged over the west. There was only a passing light shower at few points in the extreme east of Texas. Indications are for in creasing cloudiness in theA entire belt with Q probable change to rainy weather in the central and eastern states.
 Liverpool advanced about 6 points more than due on new crops, which are so to 90 up, while spot prices were 99 English points up.
 Our market opened to 10 points lower with the opinion that the advance had gone far enough for the present strongly reflected in the trading, as in spite of the bullish weather outlook and the cer- tainty of a very bullish government weekly report tomorrow on the western half of the belt, scattered selling pre- vailed and caused a reaction to around 26. roc for October Why this bearish strain is not easy to see, as spot quota tions show both more activity and greater flrmness in spots and futures are still under spot prices. There was a sharp change towards 10 o'clock on the government forecast for the eastern states saying Increasing winds. becon- ing dangerous for Mississippi Alabama and the Florida coast which would sug gest the approach of the storm to those coasts.

 CONSERVE CREDITS
Professionals Were in Un- certain Mood During the
 Trading Hours

New York, August 6.-The stock mar ket today reflected the more uncertain mood of professional operators, yester- days late advance being partly cancelec. Traders apparently deemed it advisable to adopt a more conservative course in view of the notice issued by the local federal reserve bank urging financial in- stitutions to conserve credits.
 Ion the surface this admonition was without material effect, money rates holding at recent quotations. It was generally believed, however, that time funds may soon be entirely withdrawn from the market, for other than produc- tive purposes.
 Business was broader and more active than on the previous day, but noteworthy movements were again restricted to spe- cialties. General Motors was a notable instance, advancing an extreme of 5l5 points Sumatra Tobacco was less in evidence, yielding a small part of yes terday's gains.
 United States Steel made it's best price at the opening, repeating it's maximum or 11o, but reacting II points, with only nominal rally. Independent steels ana the active equipments lost to 1hs points, Snlpp1nSS apCut iS Hluci anu oii' "SN point, although Mexican Petroleum en- jpyed 8 brief period of strength on It's favorable annual report.
 Rails were in the background until the final hour, when Reading and St. Faui developed moderate activity, but trans portations played no part in the day's dealings. Utilities improved, especially Ohio Gas and Columbia Gas at l to point advances.
 The bond market was mixed, inter nationals showing a stronger trend, while domestic issues eased irregularly. Total sales, par value, aggregated $6,523,- coo. Old United States issues were un- changed on call.

Hubbard Bros. X Co.'S Letter

New York, August 6.--The market to- day was very wild, October selling over 20 cents on buying that was supposed to be covering on the part of the re- maining speculative short interest. We think that thls interest is now very much reduced and we doubt if the mar ket continued to advance as it has done for the last few days. There was some trade demand today, but it was not large in volume ard the American mills, as vet, do not appear especially anxious. Drouth continues in Texas, but the weather bureau predicts strong northerly winds on the coast and there is still a possibility that the gulf storm may tm n inland It is needless to say that re- lief to drouth in the southwest would be 3 most important factor in the mar ket. Clear weather in the Atlantic states has been favorable and crop reports east of the river continue, satisfactory.--Hub- bard Bros. X Go.

Professional Tradesmen Were In an
 Uncertain Mood During Days Session
Rx JOHN c. MOSES


 fleecy staple jumped s7 to $ per bale again yesterday. The general list closed steady, 1S7 to 143 points advance. Many stop orders were uncovered on the mid day advance, sending October contracts up to 29.SSc; December, 2S.90c, and Jan uary, 2S.S5c, or 13S to 145 points above last nights close. There was some talk of Japanese buying. Wall street brokers were heavy buyers on the advance. NO relief is in sight in the drouth-strickeI southwest.
 Bullish effects of the hot wave in the corn belt were sufficiently discounted yesterday to cause a restraining infiu ence in the grain pit. Quotations closed unsettled, 1ssc lower to 1sc gain. Commis' sion houses switched to the selling side in many instances yesterday. Demands came mostly from shorts. Oats simply followed the action of corn. A Trading in provisions was of a scat. tering nature.
