Of the old corporation before

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET
Market Was Nervous and Un- settled During the Past Week. and Declines From the Recent High Levels.

New York, Sept. S.-The cotton market has been extremely nervous and unsettled during the past week, and there has been a very sharp break in prices, with December contracts selling at l5.60 this morning, or about $7 a bale under the high record reach ed following the end-August crop report. The appearance of increased Southern offerings seemed to shift the attention of the trade from small crop figures to early marketing conditions, and reports of hedge selling in tn local market have been accompanied by rumors of increased shipments in this direction for delivery on October contracts.
 Increasing receipts also served to stimulate liquidation, as indicating that growers were inclined to rush their cotton to market. and while the movement has pretty well prepared the trade for full ginning returns, to- days report showing S50,000 bales ginned to September 1, or more than 50,000 bales in excess of the previous high record, was made the basis for increased crop estimates in some quar- ters. Better weather advices served to encourage this tendency, but there was less talk of larger crop figures around the ring than of free early marketing, and sellers have appeared to be chiefly influenced by the high level of prices and feeling that they were bringing out cotton more rapidly than it was likely to be absorbed.
