COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK,

NEW YORK. August 2o.-The cotton
market opened very nervous today,
with first prices i: to IS points net
lower. under a furry Of liquidation
which appeared to be inspired by the
sinking of the Arabic, weakness in
Liverpool. the opening decline in the
stock market and the sharp break in
New Orleans. Trading tapered off
after the first rush OF selling orders
had carried prices some Is to II points
net lower. with the market evidently
waiting for more detailed reports con-
corning the Arabic affair in its bearing
upon international relations, but the
undertone was unsettled and there
were only slight rallies during the
early trading.
Futures opened steady; October, OBS;
December. 95S; January, $50; March.
9.01; May, 1915.
Covering became a little more active
as an impression gained ground that
the sinking of the Arabic would lead to
no increased diplomatic difficulties, and
prices worked back to within ! or 8
points Of last nights closing figures.
Buying was checked, however, by reas-
surfing crop advices from the south
west. and trading was very quiet
around midday.
