Over s. R. stewart's Wire

New Orleans. August 12-The three leading bullish influences, good war news, absence of relief west and consequent expectation of sensational condition fore casts, were still operative at the start of this week, and the market opened about 50 up. Liverpool was very strong. 1y points up on spots and 100 points. the fixed limit, on futures. The advance car ried prices here close to 300 and trading changed to realizing, partly on account of the rapidity of the recent rise in the market, but mainly on the ground of general feeling that soc meets the ex- pectation of producers in wider spheres and that hedge selling against crops will increase; also general realizing to await developments with crops and futures A sharp reaction followed, which carried October back to 29.05c, and soon after to 2s. COG. After such reaction the trading, of course, changed in fav0r or buying and the market steadied.
 New York advised that the Watkins bureau makes the condition 67.2 for the half month, against 7S.8 at the close of July.
 The map shows generally cloudy west ern half. but no rain; generally fair in eastern half, with showers in Mississippi. Florida and generally along the east gulf districts. Temperatures are still high west of the river, but cooler over eastern states. Indications for increasing clouds iress west and the outlook is certainly better for break in the western drouth srell in the near future. Showery weather wil, also prevail over the northeastern quarter of the belt.
 The absence of relief and continued hsgh temperatures over the grain states was considered bearish item with re- spect to cotton.--John F. Clark & Co.
