CONTINUES ITS SENSATIONAL
 UPWARD MOVE6{NT
Y Yesterdays Rise Averaged From $6 to $7 Per Bale on Active and Excited
 Covering

New York, November 6.-There was a further advance of from SC to s7 per bale in the cotton market today on a continuation of the active and excited covering which had started Saturday and assumed sensational 1roportions Monday. January sold up to 29.50o, making an advance of 130 points from Mondays close and of $50 points from the low level of last week That de- livery closed at 29.2Oc with the general list closing steady at q net advance of So to 100 points. The relatively easy ruling of Liverpool over election day led to rather an unsettled opening to- day and first prices were 15 to 42- points lower on the active months Moderate offerings were quickly ab- sorbed. however, and the market firmed up on covering. Denials that government orders for goods were be- ing cancelled and reports of an easier tone in the market for marine war risks. probably served to stimulate tie buying movement There was also scattered buying for southern account on the advance which soon extended some 53 to TO points above Mondays close. The more urgent demand from shorts than seemed to have been pretty well supplied and there were reactions Of 70 to 30 points during the middle of the day under realizing. Otherwise there was very little selling. and the market firmed up agan during the afternoon on renewal of the covcr- ing movement and fresh buying in- spired by reports of a higher spot basis in the southwest. December sold up from 2S.40c, the early low level. to 30.35c. making 8 movement of within points of the permitted daily maximum March sold up to 29.S0c. with active months generally showing net gains of 12S to 140 points. The close was off from the best under realizing, and there appeared to be a good deal of cotton for sale on the basis of 30 cents for December

SILENT RAIDS ARE ;, se VERY DIFFICULT
British Aviator, However, Swooped Down on Mannheim and Did
 Great Damage

London, October 22--(Correspondence of the Associated Press )-Ever since the big Zeppelin raid on London, october F, 1917, the public has, believed that the Zeppelin commanders stopped their en- zines and allowed the giant craft to drift silently with the wind across the city, which was unaware of the enemy s presence until bombs were actually dropped
 But the facts, now made known, were that the apparent silence of the 4eppe- lin engines was due partly to abnormal acoustical conditions, partly to the great height at which the airships flew in or der to be above the range of British anti-aircraft fire, and partly because some of the engines did stop-although not by any desire of their engineers.

New Orleans, November 6.--Liverpool continues to act on peace basis, ana did not follow our advance, as that mar ket looks for a narrower difference on increased prospects of importation.- The adjustment in parity would logically be along the lines of easier tendency in Liverpool against an advance on our side.
 The following are two important com munications from Washington: Wash ington says America and allies planning to cooperate in making available, as far as possible, food and other supplies to civilian populations of conquered en- erny countries" The committee on cot ton distribution makes the following an- nouncement; False rumors are In CIT culation, the effect that extensive can- cellation of contracts for cotton goods for the use of the armies are being made. The matter has been discussed with the purchase, traffic and storage division of the war shipment and with the cotton goods section~ of the war industries board They state that the rumors of cancellation are unfounded and that only such cancellations have been made as have taken place from time to time dur ing the progress of the war by actual consent by reason of necessary changes
 in fabric needs, replacements, varatlon in quality of other desired changes

few engines that stopped, prisoners havo disclosed, did so because the crews were too height sick to operate them.
 Experts say that the abnormal acous- tics of that night are not likely to recur. and there probably will be no return of the silent Zeppelin. Airplanes, on the other hand, are capable of making a si- lent descent upon town, as was proved, it is pointed out. by the raid of British machines on Mannheim on the night of August 25. One pilot glided down to 200 feet from an altitude of 5000. He was enabled to make q direct hit with every bomb and he circled around for seven minutes sweeping the Badisch poison gas factory and other works; also search lights, with machine gun fire, and final ly got away scot free.-s
