Washington, Dec. 4.-State and commerce department officials ex pect cotton shipments from America to Germany and Austria to total 75, 000 to 150,000 bales a month as soon as the marine insurance rate can be adjusted more satisfactorily to ship pers. The committees appointed by the secretaries of state, treasury and commerce to consider the foreign cotton market situation today issued the following statemeit: "it is evident there is a Iremen dous demand for cotton in Germany and Austria and prices are high, ranging from 14 to 18 cents a pound. Tie principal difficulty seems to be the high irate of marine insurance. fron the UJite States to E1urope Otherwise the movement of cotton from the .United States to Europe would be facilitated." Efforts will be made whei congress meets to amend iand broaden the 'wnar risk bill. The purpose is to pro vide government insurance on ship melts to belligerents even when the shipments include articles such as cot-ton, which have beei declared non coltraband. * Tihe state and commerce depart metis have beei working out plans for sipping cotton to Germany and Austria. Some of it is going (irect to Bremen, other enrgoes to iotterdam, eiona or other neutral ports and thence into Germany and Austria. The ships will come back bearing potash, ldystuffs and other ebemni cals, which Germany will allow to be exported to this country only in American bottoms.
