COTTON IS NERVOUS
 THROUGHOUT WEEK
Favorable Weather Signal For
 Heavy Selling

NEW YORK, March 2S.-The cotton market has shown continued nervous ness and irregularity. The appearance of more favorable weather conditions in the south seemed the Signal for rather heavy selling at the beginning of the week. Before 1t was absorbed, the price of May contracts had eased off to 26.60c and October to 2405c on Tuesday morning. At this level the creased spot demand and indications that ocean freight room was being en- gagged for the shipment of cotton from New York. For a time the market showed considerable firmness on cover ing and trade buying, but rallies of approximately a cent a pound from the lowest met increased offerings ow- ing to continued complaints of a poor demand for cotton goods and talk of probable increased domestic mill cur tailment. Rallies were not only lost, but prices made new lows for the move ment, with May selling off to 26.45c and October to 23.45c on Thursday. These prices represented declines of very nearly He pound from the high records for the season in the case of old-crop deliveries. The market was rather steadier toward the end of the week on covering promoted by the out look for unsettled weather in the south. It is reported that ocean freight en- agreements indicate that so far between 10000 and 50.000 bales of cotton are to be exported from New York between now and the end of April. As a re- suit of this expected movement of cot ton out of local certified stock, May contracts have been relatively firm on covering by both trade and speculative shorts. H'-
