 Protect Baggage

Washington, Oct 21.-Secretary Colby said today the state depart ment was determined to protect the baggage of the diplomatic represen- tatives of foreign nations from a search of customs officials. He declared that if necessary the de- partment would invoke the principle of international law which he said was older than the constitution of the United States.
 MT. Colby would not say whether the department would have recourse to injunction proceedings, explain ing that the manner of protecting the luggage of foreign envoys re- mained to be determined.
 The State Department issued public appeal Saturday that govern ment agents refrain from exeamin- ing the baggage of diplomats it was stated at the Treasury Department yesterday that the orders to cus- toms officials to make such exami- nations and report violations of the prhibtion law would not be changed.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orlans, Oct. 21.-English la Dor news furnished most of the ac- tive power for the fluctuation in cotton today and it was unfavorable enough to cause wide. declines al- though important buying was felt on all the soft spots and it gave the market recuperative powers such as has not been in evidence for some time. The weakest period came late in the session but it was followed by buying wave, as the tone on the close was officially called very stea- dy. Last prices were AZ to 58 off.
 In the early trading there were de- clines on pessimistic cablegrams from Liverpool regarding the Eng fish labor troubles, but the market came back on speculative demand Then, on the report that the rail waymen in England had joined the coal strikers, there was a sharp break and little later another break followed the report that the dockworkers also had voted to 20 out.

BRITISH LABOR
 FUSS HURTS THE
 COTTON MARKET

New York, Oct. 21.-Increasing nervousness over the British labor situation seemed the dominating in- fluence in the cotton market here today. Reports that British rail- waymen had been ordered to go on strike at midnight, Sunday, should the government fail to settle the coal dispute meanwhile, caused a ve- ry sharp break during the early af- ternoon, but later advices were con- sidered reassuring and the general list closed steady at net losses of 35 to 5 points.
 The market opened steady at a decline owing to weak Liverpool cab les, selling by houses with Liver. pool connections and renewed hedge selling by the south. Trade inter- terests were fair buyers on this ear ly decline, however, while there was considerable covering and prices steadied during the middle of the day on reports of firmer spot bas- is in the southwest and talk of a better demand during the early af- ternoon on the unsettling British la Dor reports. Later reports that there were to be conferences between the British government and the coal min CTS before the end of the week, pro- noted rallies which were encouraged by smaller volume of hedge selling and reports that trade interests were buying on scale down. Port receipts for the day were 35,306. United States port stokes 1,O52,5O5. Exports 16,986 making 765,529 so far this season.

New York, Oct 21.-There was no change in the local raw sugar market today and sentiment was still rather mixed. No fresh business came to light and Cubas were offered at : 3-4 cents, costs and freight, equal to S76 for centrifugals and other su- gars at about the same level, without being taken.
 Refined sugar was unchanged at II to 12 cents for fine granulated.
 There was said to be little bet ter inquiry from country points, al though on the whole the demand seemed to be less than. on the pre. vlous days this week.
 Trading in sugar futures was very quiet and while prices were lower in sympathy with the weakness in oth- CT commodities, the decline was due as much to lack of demand as any. thing else. Closing prices were 12 to 20 points net lower.
