COTTON SHOWS
 RENEWED ACT|v|TY
Advance Checked About Midday But Scars Higher at Closing Active Months Sold 113 to 127 Points Net Higher.

New York, Oct. 3.-The cotton mar ket showed renewed activity and ex- citement today with a further ad- vance of more than a cent a pound in prices. December contracts. for in- stance, sold up to 26.15 or -123 points above last nights close and more than $11 bale above Mondays close. Heavy realizing sales were well ab- sorbed on reactions of about 10 points, and December closed at 25.9Sc, with the general list closing steady at net advance of 105 to 125 points.
 Overnight realizing and hedge sell ing was very readily absorbed at an opening advance of 30 to 4S points, and within 15 minutes active months sold 113 to 127 points net higher. The advance was then checked and the volume of business subsided some what around midday, but offerings were well taken on the decline from 26.11 to 25.65 for December and from 25.90 to 25.60 for January.
 The steadiness of the market after this setback evidently inspired anoth- CT wave of buying for long account which sent the prices into new high ground for the day with October sell ing at 26.60, January at 26.0O and March at 2613, or 123 to 13O points above last nights closing figures. Later fluctuations were extremely nervous and irregular, but the market closed within 15 or 16 points of the best. Cotton closed steady.

U.bOAT ACTIVITY
 GREATLY CURED
British Ship Losses Are Small
 est Since the German Ruthless
 Campaign Began-15 Sunk \ the Previous Week.

London, Oct. 3.-Eleven British merchantmen of more than 1 500 tons each and two vessels under 1 ,60O tons were sunk by mines or submarines last week, says the British admiralty statement.
 The statement again lowers the to- tai of merchantmen sunk by mines or submarines during any week since Germany began her intensified subma- rine campaign. As against 15 vessels sunk the previous week, which was the low record since February, only 13 merchantmen were sunk last week.
 The total of all losses to worlds shipping since Germany's ruthless U- boat war went into effect, is about two-thirds of those claimed by the Germans in statement issued Sep tember 1. The Germans said that an average of 900,000 tons had been sunk monthly for seven months.
 The actual totals of tonnage sunk compiled here show that not even dur ing the most successful month for the U-boats-April- have the figures reached any such proportions while the August losses dropped to nearly half the April figure.

Washington, Oct. 3.-The proposal to examine for military service all men registered for the army draft and not yet called was killed today, for the present at least, when the House and Senate conferees eliminated an appropriation for the purpose from the war deficiency bill, the conference report on which was promptly accept ed by the Senate.
 The plan was submitted by the pro- vost marshal generals office so that every registered man might know whether he was liable for service, and if so, the order of his liability. The War Department asked for expres- sions of opinion from the governors of states and only two signified dis approval.
 In passing the deficiency bill the House included the appropriation and the Senate added an amendment linn iting the men to be examined to the number soon to be needed. The con- ferees eliminated the whole provision Their report will be adopted tomorrow by the House.
