ESTIMATE
 SETS UP COTTON
January and March Make New RecOrds-Great Vol
 ume of Offerings Made

New York. November 2o.--A tenden-
 cy to increase estimates of the sea-
 sons exports seemed to be chiefly ac-
 countable for further advance in the
 cotton market early today. Trading
 was not as active as recently, how
 ever, and the only deliveries to make
 new high records were January and
 March deliveries. with January selling
 at 2S.O3c, or 12 points above last
 nights close. That month closed at
 2SS7c, with the general list closing
 steady, at net decline of 1 to ,
 points.
 The market opened at a decline of
 4 to IT points under Wall street and
 commission house selling, attributed
 to profit taking attracted by the new
 high levels of yesterday. The offer
 ings were very well absorbed around
 the initial prices, however, and the
 market soon rallied on trade buying
 of near months and covering The
 relatively easy ruling of Liverpool
 was considered the result of a more optimistic view of shipping conditions and it was reported that the British
 government had allotted 10000 tons of shipping for the importation of cot ton during December, compared with z0,OOO tons durlng NoVemDer. On the surface this looked as though ex- ports might be heavier next month, which the talk of an increased move- ment abroad was also encouraged by reports that submarines were being defeated. and that the worlds ship building yards were turning out new tonnage more rapidly. December sold up from 2S.45c to 2S.65c, while March advanced from 27.45c to 2771c, with active months generally showing net advances of to 12 points before noon. Increased realizing was encountered around 28.03c for January, causing re- actions to nearly the early low level. The disposition to take profits was increased by talk of an easier spot basis in the eastern belt and uncer- tainty as to the showing of the cen sus report tomorrow. There was no great volume of offerings, however { and the close was up from the lowest on the firm tone of the stock market reports of large spot sales in New Orleans and renewed covering.

German and Austrian Diplomats, Given Safe
 Conduct, Ready to Sail

An Atlantic Port, November 2o.-German and Austrian diplomats and consular representatives from Asiatic countries boarded a Norwegian steamship here to- day to return to their native countries under safe conduct granted by the all lied governments. The ship was to have sailed today, but was unexpectedly held at her pier by government authorities, presumably to complete an examination of the baggage of the party, which, in cluding women and children. numbered 6S. 1t was expected the vessel would get away tomorrow.
 The party arrived here from the Pacific coast last Friday and has been stopping at two hotels under the surveillance of agents of the department of justice. The members were driven to their pier in au- tomobiles with drawn curtains. Their departure from their hotels attracted large crowd, the supposition being that a wholesale arrest of Germans was in prog reSS.
 Baron Arthur von Rosthorn, Austrian Hungarian minister to China. who was given his passports when China declared war, was member of the party.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, November 20.-(Speciai) Many conflicting factors were at work today In Liverpool the statement in Parliament yesterday regarding the sub- marine warfare with the more confi- dent attitude toward it's control, to- gether with the announcement of the allotment of 10000 tons of freight to cot ton for December, weakened that mar ket. Arbitrage buying orders from
 there were executed here. English houses in the south were reported as buyers of spots at full prices. While American export houses found it almost
 impossible to do business the market
 touched a new high level on these purchases which, with the buying by To- cal traders. carried the market into new high levels, from which there was i natural reaction on advices from the south that American exporters found it difficult to do business. and that cot ton was accommodating on this level of prices. The market in the afternoon yas a waiting one, looking forward to the ginners' report tomorrow.
