NEW YORK. Dec. 22.-There was a rela- lively firm feeling in the cotton future market today at the opening and first prices 3 RIo points higher in consequence of a better run of English prices than looked for New Orleans interests were buyers and the chief line of support came from this source. An in teresting feature was the absence of Suly from the pit and other indifference of many traders in the absence of the leader. On the better prices there was considerable selling for profits and liquidation resulted in some ireactionary movements here and there. The market a whole quiet and the pit in- terests did the bulk of the business for the most part. Spot markets were about steady with . limited demand and moderate offer ings. The indicated falling off for the week in port receipts tended to encourage, certain bull interests On the close the indications pointed to continued feverish fluctuations. The esti- mated port receipts were; 70. 900. against ST. 246 for the same day last year.

 NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-The stock market closed dull and sagging, but 1t Is highly pro- fessional. It is thought that the Western crowd is running a bear campaign fin Rock Island, but we think that more bonds are com ing in. It looks like a dull market until after the holidays. We are inclined to think after that we will have a sagging market as on the advance the outsiders do not come in and the short interest shows marked falling of.

 NEW YORK. Dec. 22.-while the market was lower and higher at times. the general tendency reactionary. Prices have now advanced to a point where such things must be expected. You can't have a market at 3k that is the same as at 9k. Nor is the outlook as certain. We must say the position has two sides where before there but one This cannot be disputed. The fact that it cannot is significant. It means caution and conserva- tism to make any money, and we think the ma Sority of customers have made money on the advance. The question is, will profits be taken or will holders hold on and on over stay the market and finally lose. Our position on the market has been known from the early part of September when news began to change. We have been consistently bullIsh looking for higher prices. But now it is very different. Every one has made money and a lot of peo- pie have not taken profits. This is hardly the part of wisdom. Any day there may be de- velopments which will cut off half a cent or q cent at a clip. All this Is more than pos sible at this level. man should not own any cotton on less than S5 margin for every 100 bales. Men with good profits should take them. If not all. at least a portion of their money. The biggest losses made in specuIa- don made not by those who are wrong on Q market, but by those who have big profits and over stay. This is the great destroyer of uuccess. Do not over-stay Take profits let the price break and then if the situation is Favorable. start again. Take proftA

Announcements Of fhc
 Academy Of Music.

The white deckel edged prospectus with its gold lettering-1903- -19O4-of the Academy of Music. which are being sent out is the handsomest this institution has ever distributed. The school opens September 1.
 Neither the Academy of Music nor It's director, Miss Daisy Rowley, need any introduction to the Birmingham public.
 The academy has for several years been one of the best music schools of the south. The success of the pupils and teachers sent forth each year by Miss Rowley adds to the already well known reputation of the academy, and each succeeding year, as the books show, dou- bles the number of pupils enrolled.
 The branch school of the academy, which also opens September l. on Tenth avenue, South Highlands, will call for Miss Rowley's personal attention on feared Miss Rowley could not find time for this branch school, but with the usual strength and energy always dis played in her business undertakings, she rises to the occasion and declares that no stone shall be left unturned that fur thers the advancement or enlargement of her already prosperous school
 Few persons ever realize success be- yond their hopes, but this director will tell you in a most cheerful way, that her school built upon it's merit without the aid of either friends or money, has al ready far surpassed her dream of what success ever meant
