COTTON MARKET
 IS VERY NERVOUS
New Crop Months Rally, However, on Failure
 of Rains

New York. June 16.-The cotton mar ket was very nervous and unsettled to- day but while old crop positions were relatively weak with July selling into now low ground for the movement new crop months rallied sharply from the low point of yesterday owing to the failure of official weather advices to indicate any further rain of consequence In the western belt. The close was ir- regular at a net decline of to points on the old crop but from 9 to Il points net higher on new crop months.
 The opening was steady at de- cline of points to an advance of I points and during the first few minutes the market sold up to a net advance of about to 12 points on covering by recent sellers and bull support of new crop positions inspired by better cables than due and the showing of the early weather map which indicated no rain except .o4 of one inch in Oklahoma. | The western belt forecast calling for unsettled weather and showers in north ern Arkansas soon encouraged re- newal of local bear pressure and short l7 after the opening prices eased of under selling for both accounts. The weakness of the old crop positions tend cd to unsettle general sentiment ant July contracts broke to 15.10c. or to { net decline of 16 points and to a los of s5 per bale from the high recor' for the season. This was the resul of liquidation of small lots, attributed to trailing longs, but while the ole bull leaders gave the near months nc support they were active buyers o1 new crop positions which were rela' lively steady and after easing off te within a couple of points of last nights finals rallied sharply on the detailed weather report for Texas. showing no precipitation and continued high tenn pcratures. Early sellers became anx- ious when they found very little cot ton for sale on the rally, bullish week end figures helped the old crop positions somewhat and during the afternoon new crop months sold 19 to 20 points net higher on active covering. A re- newal of liquidation in the last hour, however, caused final reactions with the close about 10 points off from the best.

New Orleans, June 16-Cotton fu- lures opened steady, unchanged to 5 points up, compared with yesterdays close Cables were better than expect ed and the weather map was again unfavorable. the only rain reported in the cotton belt being .04 of an inch at Oklahoma City. Yesterdays sellers were the best buyers around the opening today and after the call their demand put the old crops to 9 points over yesterdays close and the new crops ' to Il over. The market dld not have much strength, however. and at the end of the first half hour of business tho list was to points over yester- days final quotations
 The full weather reports of the day did not indicate any change in the weather for the better but this did not stimulate buying and the bears, seeing that the bulls were not disposed to press their advantage, increased their offerings of short cotton. July broke 6 points below yesterdays close and August went points below.
 The new crops at their lowest were still q couple of points over yester- days final quotations. Late in the morn ing the market had somewhat better tone and at noon the old crops were points under yesterdays close, while the new crops were to over.
