New York, Dec. 11-Without warn ing, except that the market for several days appears to have had rather an inactive tone. cotton prices sustained a violent drop this morning.
 The first signs of demoraIization came at the end of ashalf hours trad ing when selling orders began pouring in from the south There was not enough outside speculative buying to absorb these heavy offerings. and prices fell away sharply until January reached 12:10; March I2:33; May 12.54 and July 12:68.
 At these levels, the market was about s5t bale under the highest of the season. The break finally at tracted vigorous covering
 Later the market was irregular without much further change. Trade interests brought on the break but speculative demand showed little confidence and at the close which was barely steady, the market was 24 to 29S points net lower, January being quoted at 12:18; March 12:45; May 12;67 and July 12:77

US. WILL ASK SAFE CONDUCT
 FOR ATTACHES
Secretary Lansing to Visit Allies Embassies in Be
 half of Germans.

Washington. Dec. Secretary Lansing will ask Great Britain and France, through their embassies here for safe conduct of Captains Boy-Ed and Xon Papen, respectively naval and military attaches of the German embassy here,s pursuant to the re- quest of Emperor William who per- sonal1y recalled the officers. With drawaI of the attaches has l&eep re- quested by the Secretary because of their alleged activities which render ed them persona non grata to thE American government.
 Official armour cement of Emperor Williams action was made by Secre- ltary Lansing after %eceiYing a conn munication from the German foreign office through Count von 'Bernstorff, the German ambassador.
 The Emperor also requested safe conduct for the successors of Cap tains Boy-Ed< and Von Papen, who will be named later.
 Action on this, however, will await the naming of the successors.
 There was some speculation here today as to whether Great Britain and France would in case the two German attaches leave this country. demand that they go under parole, .pledging themselves not to participate in the European war. Officials of the German embassy. however, are. said to believe it proper to ask for safe conduct for the attaches without qualification, because the1r successors would remove two fighting officers from Germany.
 Officials were plainly gratified to- day over the outcome of situation which had apparently been fraught with serious difficulties. As result Secretary Lansing now is free to. again take up negotiations with Germany foR& settlement of the Lus1tanla con- troversy and the cases of other for -eign diplomatic and consular offic- CTS. It is expected that the case of Alexander Won Nuber, Austrian consul general at New York, will be the firsr to be acted upon.
