COTTON MARKET
 MAKES RECOVERY General List Closed Firm at a Net Advance of
 59 Points

New York, October 31.-The cotton market developed renewed strength to- day and recovered more than s4 per bale of it's recent losses, with May contracts selling up to 19.41c, and closing at 1935c. The general list closed firm at net ad- vance of 55 to 59 points.
 There was further scattering liquida- tion and local pressure during the early trading. The opening was points higher on December, but generally unchanged to 12 points lower, and active months sold off a point or two during the first few minutes. The offerings, however, were by no means as heavy as recently, and were evidently well taken. Bullish south ern spot advices seemed to give. buyers more confidence and reports of continued firmness in the goods maret, also con- tributed to the advance which became active and excited during the afternoon, owing to continued support from promi- nent bull brokers, covering by Wall street shorts, and re-buying by sold-out longs. January contracts sold up to 19.15c, March to 19.2Sc and July to 19.42c, or 63 to G5 points above last nights closing figures, and 80 points or more above the low level of yesterday.
 There was good deal of realizing around unlS leVel ana closing prices were a few points off from the best.
 Rumors that a bullish crop estimate was to be published by a western au- thority tomorrow morning may possibly have had some influence and there was also talk that ginning for the period ending at the close of business tonight would show a sharp falling off. Trading was comparatively quiet during the earlier stages of the advance, but be- came quite active above 19 cents for Jan- uary.

SUPREME COURT
 ISSUES ORDER IN
 TIDEWATER MERGER
tContinued from Page one)

Tidewater system by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, should not be declared void and of no effect. The petition was entered this morning by Monte Ullman, city attorney of Birmingham.
 .' Constitutionality of the legislative act of August 6. under which the com mission took Jurisdiction of the mat ter,' is attacked on the ground that it violates section 220 of the constitu- tion. The action of the commission it. self in approving the merger is at tackled as violative of the same con- stitutiona1 section on the theory that the consent of the city of Birmingha m was not obtained for the proposed con solidation.
 The supreme court is asked by the city of Birmingham to issue writ of certiorari directed to the Alabama pub lie service commission for the removal of the cause and all the papers con- nected with it to the supreme court, and is prayed that the commissions or der be vacated and quashed.

BALFOUR ADMITS EIGHT SHIPS IN
 ALL WERE SUNK
Report Is Made on Recent German Raid on Trans ports in English
 Channel.

London. October S1.-The loss of six drift net boats. in addition to the sinking of the transport Queen and the torpedo-boat destroyer Flirt in the recent raid by German submarines in the English channel was admitted by A. J. Balfour. first lord of the admir- alty. in the House of Commons today. In answering questions in regard to the raid on the channel transport sery- ice. the first lord said that while the raiders had all the advantages in choosing the moment for attack, in this case it certainly failed.
 The only cross channel steamer to be attacked. Mir. Balfour said, was the empty passenger vessel Queen and she would have been saved. he added, had the captain realized that she would float six hours after the attack. The torpedo-boat destroyer Flirt, he said, was surprised in the darkness by Ger man destroyers. which fired on her at close range and sank her. The de- stroyer Nubian. torpedoed while at- lacking the German squadron, should have been brought to harbor, the first lord asserted but for the gale. He believed that the Nubian can be sal vaged He then admitted that six drift net boats had been lost.
 There is ground for thinking" MT. Balfour declared. that two German torpedo-boat destroyers. after being hit during the action. struck mines and were blown up and probably sunk"
 The above is the first intimation from British sources that any ships ex- cept the Queen. Flirt and Nubian were damaged in the German raid during the night of October 26-27. The Brit ish official statement said that two of the 10 German destroyers had been sunk and the remainder driven off The statement admitted the loss of the Queen. said the Flirt was missing and declared that the Nubian had ground ed after being disabled by a torpedo
 The German official statement on the raid declared that at least Il out post steamers and two or three tor pedo- boat destroyers or torpedo boats were sunk or damaged by the German squadron. The statement added that the German ships had returned safe ly to their base.

SUDDEN REVIVAL OF BULL|SH SENTIMENT Cotton Market Steadied Up on Moderate Fresh
 Buying

New Orleans, October 31.-After losing 3 to points around the opening here to- day in sympathy with poor cables, the cotton market steadied up on moderate fresh buying and advanced to points above yesterdays closing level It was a small market with trading being re- stricted by the holiday here tomorrow 2 Buying orders swelled in volume fol- lowing aggressive support by leading in eterests. Spot accounts from the interior were favorable and much was made of the fact that neither raw cotton nor fin ] ished goods had followed the recent de- cline in futures. Toward noonsprices were 27 to 30 points over yesterdays close.
 The trading of the afternoon was marked by a strong rise and a sudden re- vival in bullish sentiment. At 1:30 trad ing months stood 67 to 6S points over yesterdays final figures.

veloped into spectacular affair be- fore it's close. Big bulls. dormant for the last few days. bid early in the day for cotton in large blocks at va rious times. which encouraged com mission house buying which later. on drove in innumerable local shorts The western element also bought liberally on report that a prominent Chicago house would issue report indicating a crop of around 10.000.000 bales. The bearish sentiment so evident yesterday has given way to the feeling that the recent decline had eliminated all the weak longs and cleared the decks for a resumption of the upward move ment At all events. the closing prices were not far from the top of the day and higher prices are possible early tomorrow. independent of the action of Liverpool. which is due to come 21 to 2S points higher. We are likely to have markets of big swings up and down. Purchases on fair reactions would seem to be the proper policy temporarily. Cotton oil worked within narrow limits Active trading markets are likely-a purchase on moderate de- clines with realizing sales on quick advances.

B. K. Hutton X Co.'S Stock Letter

(By private wire to c. F. Avery.)
 New York, October 31.-Over $S5, ,00O, 900 for Steel company and 1 per cent extra dividendl That ought to satisfy every one 3he market has been entirely given up to specialties. With the exception of Steel, which was fairly active within q small radius, there was no trading in the standard stocks. It is evident that no railroads are for sale. They sell off easily on small trade actions. but any buying brings them right back. Five million more gold yesterday and five mi,- lion more today. The feeling is growing very strong that the election will go for Wilson. The market appreciates this and seems to ignore it, as nearly every one believes that. the market IS founded on economic and not upon political condi- tions. It is unfortunate for the general list to have outside specialties so active when they prevent trading in standard securities. We saw this more than a year ago when Crucible and Baldwin were the whole market Now it Is paper stocks and others of that character. We doubt very much if Steel opens off any tomorrow, as the $l0o. 900 estimates of earnings had been re Iss7 ths 'ast few days and practically as axpected more than was puhlisl
