Suns Cotton Review.


 New York. Jan. 10.-The Suns cotton review says: Cotton advanced 8 to 10 points, closing steady. with sales of 14S,- 500 bales.
 Today's features: Although the re- ceipts at the interior towns for the week are somewhat larger than many had ex- pected; although the interior stocks it was believed would lose from 10000 to 5000 bales for the week. they show a decrease of less than the minimum esti- mate. and although speculation continues on quite a small scale, 1t is none the less true that the market was firm, that there was more disposition to buy cotton than to sell it. that Liverpool was strong, that British consols advanced, that the receipts at the ports and at most of the interior towns were small. that the esti- mated arrivals at New Orleans and Houston tomorrow are quite lights that the south was buying here, and \that there was also more or less buying f local.

Cotton Letter.

Cotton Letter.
 New York, Jan. 10.--(Special) Al though nobody pretends to know how England and Germany are going to get out of the diplomatic deadlock as to the Transvaal, the general impression pre- vailed here today that in some way a conflict would be averted, and cotton ac- cordingly improved. Liverpool showed unexpected strength. and March opened at sos, recedca to S.01, rallied to 8.09 and closed at S06 O7, with the tone steady. There is nothing new to be said about the market everybody is waiting for the skies to clear abroad. The receipts are light enough to warrant an advance, but traders are afraid to buy cotton as long as the war cloud threatens.

In Wall Street.

New York, Jan. 10-After a somewhat irregular opening the stock market de- veloped strength, and at the close the leading issues registered gains of HM2A per cent. The firmness of the market was due to the ease with which money on call can be obtained in pledge or in stock exchange collateral and the light engagements of gold for export to Europe tomorrow. The withdrawal of the Chem ical bank from the Morgan syndicate did not affect the market in any way Neith- CT did the rumors of other important de- fections The street has settled down to the belief that in the end the govern ment will secure the gold it requires whether 1t be through the agency of a combination of bankers or by popular subscriptions At the opening the mar ket was irregular, the railway issues showing weakness. while the industrials were in demand at a higher range. As the day wore along however, the entire list moved up in unison, and better prices were recorded than for some time past Sugar advanced couple of points on favorable advices from Germany regard ing the export bounty question. Leather preferred rose on the denial by Presi- dent Hoyt that the company was in the market as borrower of money The jump in Chicago Gas was on a wild ru- mor that the reorganization certificates were ready for delivery and that the past due dividends on the stock will also be declared at once. In the railway list the anthracites. the grangers. Louisville and Nashville and Western Union gained anywhere from F to 2 per cent. Tn the last hour Leather preferred ran off to 5S% on realizations, but the general list held the early advance and closed firm in tone. The total sales were 159, ,525 shares. including 800 Sugar, F. 800 St, Paul, 16,S00 Leather preferred and II 800 Chicago Cas-

BIRMINGHAM STATE HERALD SATURDAY. JANUARY Il.

the speculative market was fully as strong as in New York. It is not at all surprising under the circumstances that prices here should have risen. Some of the largest operators here are friendly to cotton. They believe that on it's merits it ought to advance and that nothing can prevent an advance, but disturbances in the world of finance and politics. The worst feature of the cotton market at the present time is the smallness of speculation. Still the general sentiment among local operators tonight is bullish.

THE LAND OF CASTLE BUILDING.

AAS bhND Or OhplbE DUlbDlNts
Long before our America was dis
covered and every since it has been
discovered it has been an never end
ing material for castle building. Did
not Columbus build castles about its
existance and weave romance about
its fabulous wealth, did he not Undue
all his listeners with his idea of vast
country beyond comparison, did not
his dreams and mind builded castles
at last become a surety, has there
ever been country that has created
such speculation; and made such a
phenomenal growth, growth of the
highest Of civilization; and is not our
time of the present day also a time Of
castle building and our castles are
not of Sol p bubble texture but build
ed OF material that will show good
composition IN the plan of future rea-
llzatlon. We have bullded no Italy's
or Greece, have painted no Athens IN
our pictures but it has all been for
the good Of something and for some.
body. The Architects that have en-
ployed us in this individual building
have been numerous, and perhaps the
most energetic and untiresome of all
has been ambition, what has it not
done? 1t has been the promulgator
of all enterprises, though it has not
always been the author of success.
Ambition assisted and connected with
all the other up lifting qualities of the
human characted has made this coun-
try what it is. 1t would be superAous
for one to say that no era of the
worlds history has been SO strongly
marked by human progress as these
few last years Of the present century,
and future historians of the coming
ages will dwell long upon this period
and will note the great length of ad-
vancement in everything, especially
in all scientific knowledge and me-
chanical improvement, and if our his
torian of the future be true one he
will not infinitely chronicle all the
wars and political changes aud leave
the minor actions out, SO many Of
