THE NEW YORK COTTON MAR
KET.
Close Steady at Net Decline of 8 to
IL Points.

New York, Aug. 22.-The cotton
market was extremely nervous and
unsettled today, owing to reports OF
better weather in the Southwest, but
Il sharp break under heavy realizing
was followed by a less active bust
Jess, and part of the loss was re-
covered, with the close steady at a net
decline of to IL points. Detailed
weather reports showed no important
precipitation in the Southwest, and
continued high temperatures for the
"a hours ending this morning, but the
official forecast confirmed private pre-
dictions of showers or unsettled con-
ditions, and many private wires were
received reporting showers or rains
at both Texas and Oklahoma points
during the afternoon.
Liverpool was evidently influenced
by the weather news, and prices
there were considerably lower than
due. The local market opened at a
decline of to points in conse-
quence, and quickly broke to a loss
of about 16 points on the active new
crop months. The reaction proved
sufficient to bring in quite a lot of buy
ing orders, which steadied the mar
ket only momentarily, in view of the
improving weather news, and after
AZ rally Of to Z points prices again
eased off with December contracts
selling at l1.38, or IA to Is points net
