The Christian knudsen, it appeared
from stories told to-day by her crew,
tried 10 escape when the submarine
caught her at 1880 a. m, fifteen miles
east of the Nantucket Shoals lightshIp.

the torpedoes that the submarine was
only too anxious to save. If none were
sent after her the panic of the crew
was such that the fact was not noticed.
Running along easily where the
Knudsen was shaking herself to piece,

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, September ga re-
newal of yesterdays buying movement
was encouraged by relatively firm
Liverpool cables today and the cotton
market here opened firm at an advance
of to II points, with December con-
tracts selling up to 1892, while jan
uary sold at 1910, or within points of
the seasons high record.
Liverpool was good buyer, particu-
larly of January, while ii seemed that
yesterdays strength had brought in a
good many buying orders from outside
sources, but the further advance at
tracted heavy realizing. Prices turned
easier in consequence and there were
reactions of 9 to 10 points before the
end of the first hour.
Futures opened firm; October, 1909;
December, 1925; January, 1910; March,
1850, and May, 1858.
Rumors that preliminary returns to a
prominent southern statistical bureau
pointed to a condition of Sill, compared
with the 62.7 toward the end of August,
placed the crop outlook in rather a
more favorable light than recent fig
ures. and served to stimulate liguida-
tion during the middle of the morning.
Prices broke back to within a point or
two of last nights closing figures. with
December selling off to 1916 and Janu-
ary 10 1924. Trading then became less
active and prices showed rallies of or
points around midday.
