COTTON NERVOUS
 AND UNSETTLED
Prices Lose Part of Tues days Advances-Cl0se
 Barely Steady

New York, May 15.-The cotton market was nervous and unsettled today with prices losing good part of yesterdays advance under realizing by scattered longs or local selling on reports of better weather in the south. The close was barely steady and from to IA points net lower.
 The opening was steady at unchanged prices to decline of points and prices sold to points under the closing fig- ures of yesterday within the first few minutes. There appeared to be a good deal of cotton for sale, and many of yesterdays buyers were said to be liquid- atinE their purchases owing to the failure of Liverpool to advance further than due on the New York close of yesterday and reports of fairly favorable weather in the south. Support from some of the big buyers of the previous day and re- newed covering in fear of a bullish gov ernment report early next month checked the decline and caused a rally of to points during the middle of the morn ing, but the favorable official weather forecasts encouraged selling on the bulge and prices soon weakened. After show ing a net loss of from to Il points the market firmed up again on covering by early sellers and continued bull support with the active months recovering to about the closing figures of last night during the middle of the afternoon. There seemed, however, broadening of outside buying, and the market in the last half hour was weak and unsettled under more aggressive selling for both sides. which appeared to be promoted by favorable crop accounts from the south. The close was at practically the low point of the day.
 The official weather forecast for gen. orally clear weather in the belt except for showers in the Carolinas and Geor- gia were considered favorable. and late in the afternoon reports were received from a travelling crop expert claiming that more cotton was up in northeast Georgia and the Carolinas than there was at this date last year.
 Receipts 4G09 bales against 6943 last week and S294 last year. Today's receipts at Galveston 1855 against 2609 last year. at New Orleans 916 against 29s3 last year and at Houston S53 against 695 last year.
