NEW YORK, Nov. 27.--New high records
we're made on the Cotton Exchange at the
opening this morning, first prices showing
gains OF 3 to 81 points The near options
scored the smallest advances. There was
a firm tone all through the call
Spot houses were the leading buyers,
while Southern interests purchased on
moderate scale Liverpool bought the
nearby positions and sold the late months
Commission houses operated on both sides
and a supply came out from uptown inter-
ests. Proht-taltinK by last weeks buyers
also was noted at the start
The early advance TO new high ground
for the season of 100 to 12b points above
the low level OF late last week attracted
heavy general realizing and renewed selling
for a reaction. Nervousness over the posA
siblllty of another submarine raid on this
side and reports that the higher prices were
attracting little more hedge selling seemed
to Increase the disposition to even up ac-
counts for over the approaching holiday,
and the liquidation became more urgent as
prices worked lower January sold of to
20s0 shortly after IL o'clock or about 80
points from the higher level Of the morning
The tone was feverish and unsettled dur
ing the middle of the day. AT times the
local selling was aggressive. The action
of the market recently rendered reaotionIsts
rather more confident, while the appearance
of long liquidation on every little bulge sug-
gested that the technical position here had
weakened. Slight rallies followed second
break to 20.S0 for January contracts but
were not fully maintained during the early
noon hour.

in the party. which Is cruising
through Chesapeake Bay and will
come up TO Wilmington through the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. ar
irving at this city at s o'clock to-
night, if the original schedule is ad-
hered TO.
The idea Of the trip is to acquaint
the members Of the Rivers and Har-
bors committee with the importance
of the canal from a strategic view
point. Il viii also serve TO familiar
ize them with the advantages OF
Lewes Aarbor and OF the canal to the
navy in the event Of war. and as q
part Of the system of national defense.
The Atlantic Deeper Waterways As
sociation has advocated the purchase
OF the canal by the government and
the deepening and widening of the
waterway to make it available for the
use OF vessels of the navy. AS a
means OF defense it is pointed out
that this waterway could be used by
the navy to move submarines or de-
stroyers from the Delaware to the
Chesapeake.
When the party ties up at the
Fourth street wharf tonight it will
be met by a committee from the
Chamber Of Commerce, who will es-
cort the party in automobiles to the
Hotel DUPONT where accommodations
have been engaged. They will have
dined on hoard the police boat, but
the committee will entertain the
party on the roof garden Of the City
Club. This will be in an informal
manner. at a supper narty or some
similar function. Definite arrange
ments as TO the form Of entertain
ment will not be completed until the
guests themselves have been consult
ed as they will probably be too tired

ton
After breakfast at the DUPONT Hotel
J tomorrow morning the party will
/ board the boat again and proceed UP
| the Delaware TO Philadelphia. where
( Mayor Smith will meet them and en-
tertain them at luncheon at the
! Bellevue Stratford. The river will be
/ inspected on the trip up.
Apropos Of the inspection trip. Il

merchandise are handled every year
on rhe waterway According TO Com
missioner George S. Sproule there
