COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, May 16.-The cotton
market opened steady at unchanged
prices to q decline Of points and
during the first few minutes sold about
Z to 8 points net lower under liquida-
ton by yesterdays scattered buyers
and local bear pressure. which was
probably inspired by the failure of the
weather map to show anything more
than comparatively light showers In
the south and favorable Official fore
casts The decline was checked by re-
newed support from some of the big
buyers OF yesterday and prices rallied
or 1 points from the lowest, but the
market during the middle OF the morn
ing was rather nervous and unsettled.
Trading was quiet later in the morning
and the market continued nervous. with
prices at midday about 8 to 10 points net
lower under local selling and scattering
liquidation.
