COTTON MARKETS.

New York, Aug l5.-The cotton market was
nervous today and after displaying armness in
the forenoon 1t receded.
There was nothing fresh in the news and the
disposition was apparently to even up commit

Of prices on early marketing. The feeling was
general that decline must come from pres-
sure OF ohsrtne Of the new crops. but Southern
selling remained insignificant
Exports for the day were S.szo bales includ.
ing s.53 bales to Great Britain, l.ss7 bales to
France and 2s45s bales to other points on the
continent. For the season the elearances amount
20 MoS bales. against lE,0a bales in the
same time last year.

Eised. Int sales were LIS bales Spot here
was quiet at an advance Of ten points At s3asc.
