DEMAND FOR COTTON
BETTER; PRICES RISE
Commission Houses and New
Orleans Are Buyers-Liver-
pool Market Weak

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-The opening on
the Cotton Exchange this morning was
steady. with prices of the active issues I
point lower to points higher February
sold at loss Of points, while sale OF
August was made at 20.30, an advance Of
20 points over the final bid Of Tuesday.
There was buying by commission houses
from spot interests, Wall Street and room
traders Liverpool sold the near options
and purchased from March on.
After the call the demand increased. and
at the end Of the first ten minutes prices
were about 0 points over the start.
Liverpool showed losses of 10 TO is
points at tn time OF the opening here. or
about I point less than had been due.
Private cables attributed the decline abroad
to poor reports OF the stock of corn and
cotton here
The market met renewal OF liquidation
above 20.50 for January on the early adj
vance and prices weakened toward the
middle Of the morning. The absence Of
aggressive support suggested that the early
advance had reflected nothing more than
technical conditions following yesterdays
heavy selling, while the reappearance OF
active selling for long account showed that
sentiment was still nervous and unsettled.
Southern spot advices were somewhat
conflicting, with home reports from the
Southwest indicating an easier basis which
may have helped to bring about the re-
newed selling during the middle of the
morning. January broke from 2O56 to
2O3S, or back to within points of last
nights closing figures.
offerings diminished after the break TO
2O.33 for January, and the market was
quiet during the middle of the day, with
prices showing rallies of 8 or points
from the lowest.

Street Hears That Pennsylvania Railroad Is After HALF
Interest in Lehigh and New England, Which
Is Owned by Navigation

Lehigh Coal and Navigation stock was
the big thing IN the trading on the Phila'
delphia Stock Exchange today There
was large amount Of accumulated orders
at the opening and the stock moved up
~ points within very few minutes to the
highest point at which II has sold since
1918, when II reached 93i5. The high
point today, 90, which showed an advance Of
~ points from Saturday, was not held,
however, and before midday there was a
reaction from the best on profittakinR

Since the upward move started in Navi-
gatlon shares there have been many rtimors
in circulation in the Street to account for IT,
Today new story was heard and I'm many
quarters this was regarded as having some.
thing back of t. This story was to the
effect that the Pennsylvania Railroad Is
after half interest in the Lehigh and
New England Railroad which is owned
by the Lehigh Coal and Navigation with
the exception of about forty.fve or fifty
shares.
For half interest in the Lehlgh and
New England II was said that the Penn
sylvania Railroad would pay to the Lehgh
Coal and Navigation $4,000 900 This
amount was paid by the Navigation Com
pany for the underlying company, and this
is the amount at which II is carried on
the books. The Navigation Company un-
der an arrangement Of this kind would still
retain half interest In the Lehigh and
New England, and the cost to It would be
nothing.
This would give the Pennsylvania Rail-
road entrance to South Bethlehem where
Il would procure much freight from the
Bethlehem Steel Company. and II would
also open additional markets for Lehigh
Navigation coal. No confirmation could be
had in official circles.
The placing of the common stock of the
Buffalo and Susquehanna Railroad Corpora
tlon on a six-per-cent basis found reflection
in that stock in the trading on exchange,

Italians
Capture
C0ritZ

ROME, Aug. 1.-Two million
men are battling fiercely on the
Isonzo front in struggle that
may decide the war.
They advance singing gaily UNI
der the hottest fire, with helmets
flower-decked. Scores of huge
guns are pounding Goritz.
The Italians captured that city
today, taking 10000 prisoners.
This great stronghold has pre-
vented the Italian invasion of
Austria for fourteen months.
After seizing the bridgehead, the
Italians stormed the citadel. This
Is the greatest allied victory
since the beginning of the triple
offensive.
Goritza has a population of 3d.
600, and is the capital of the
province. Ii lies on the east
bank of the Isonzo and is sur
rounded by mountains on three
sides, making it natural fort
ress. Its ancient castle is its
most notable building, and it has
also a famous l4th century cathe-
dral and museum.
Fifteen thousand Austrians
have surrendered. Italian cities
are decorated and cheering mobs
parade the streets.
A tremendous wave of en-
thusiasm swept Rome as dis
patches brought fargmentary
details of the new fighting.
A huge crowd gathered at the
Piazza Colonna cheering the
army, the king and Gen. Cadorna.
There were similar demonstra-
lions in the theaters and cafes.
Crowds conducted all-night
patriotic celebrations in Milan.
Bologna, Leghorn and Florence.
The people believe Trieste's
fall is inevitable.
The Newspaper Corriere d'Italia
said:
This is only the beginning Of
operations promising great devel-
opments. The enemy's front is

The attack started Sunday at
daybreak. A steady Italian bonn
bar snent lasted nine hours along
a 20-mile front.
The Italian fleet In the upper
Adriatic shelled the Austrian left
wing. One correspondent wired:
mo such awe-inspiring cascade
of fire was ever witnessed before.
Shells produced incessant, vio-
lent earthquake-like phenomena.
Thousands of Austrians sought
refuge in the vast caverns of the
Carso plateau. Shells caused tre-
mendous landslides.
Tons of debris choked the
caves, which became living
tombs.
At 4 p. m. the bugles sounded
the charge, and hundreds of
thousands of hardy warriors
bounded into the fray. The spec
