NEW YORK,

NEW YORK. February 23.-The cot
ton market was extremely nervous and
unsettled early today owing to appre-
hension that cotton might be declared
cOntraband of war, or that develop

materially interfere with exports. The
Liverpool market made a steady show
Ing. but the opening here was to .
points lower and active months sold 8
to IL points under last nights closing G
figures during the early trading as a
result of liquidation. Houses with
Liverpool connections were sellers
here, and there was also some selling
attributed to exporters.
Futures opened steady: March. sss;
April. s.45: May. $50: June. S.67; July.

IN the morning with the active months
