COTTON IS NERVOUS
FOLLOWING FIRMNESS
Disposition to Even Up Com
mitments and Await Effect
of Present Price Level
New York, Aug. 10.

New York, Aug. 10.
The cotton market was nervous today
and after displaying firmness in the
forenoon it receded. There was nothing
specially fresh in the news and the
disposition was apparently to even up
commitments and await the effect of
the present level of prices on early mar
keting.
The feeling was general that a de-
cline must come from pressure of Of
ferings of the new crop, but southern
selling remained insignificant. A rep
resentative of an Atlanta house said
that there was more inquiry from east
ern mills for new crop shipment, but
that it was difficult to get together on
the price.
A cable to the effect that Germany is
open to a reasonable peace offer met
with favorable comment.
The bullish Watkins report placing
the condition of the crop at only 67.2
and indicating a deterioration of over
II per cent for the first half of the
month, and the western belt forecast
for continued dry weather, except pos
sible showers in extreme western Texas,
served to sustain the early market and
send prices some IS to &c points net
higher.
The bulges, however, seemed to meet
increased offerings from one source or
another, including some southern SELL
ing, and the market turned easier.
