THE COTTON MARKET
New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 22.-Guessing
over the probable outcome Of the first
notice day for January, which is to-
morrow, was the chief occupation OF
! traders in the cotton market today.
More or less liquidation came from
the long side in preparation for the
events Of first notice day and for the
triple holidays which follow the close
tomorrow; at the same time whatever
steadiness the market had was due to
the belief that any January tenders
that appear tomorrow would be quickly
cared for.
Price movements were narrow the
session through. After fall of to s
points around the opening, in sympa-
thy with rather disappointing cables,
the market went to net advances of
to 8 points on reports that the long
end of January was in strong hands.
After small recession, the list moved
up to the highest OF the day just be-
fore noon, on the report that one firm
alone had instructions to stop notices
tomorrow to the extent of $4,000 bales.
The afternoon session brought more
liquidation from the long side, appar-
emily due to claims that tenders to-
morrow might amount to as much as
is, 900 to 10000 bales, which amounts
are possible as the certified stock here
is 6S,711 bales. Late in the session
prices were at their lowest, at net
losses of 4 to 10 points, with January
Off to 1922 which compared with 17.47
as the high price on that month for
the day. The close was 2 points up
to 10 points down, net on the day, dis
tant months being stronger than the
nears.

Music Study Club Holds Splendid
 Meeting Thursday

Never in the history of the Music Study club have the study programs or morning musicals been more con- sistently lovely and interesting than they are proving this season. The meeting on Thursday morning offered another example of this fact. as it was artistic. educational and enjoy- able from start to finish.
 Before beginning the progrem, Mrs Houston Davis, president, an- nounced s concert, to be given by the Treble Clef chorus of the Music Study club on Friday night, December g, at the First Methodist church, which will be open to the public.
 Mrs. Davis also informed those present that through the joint efforts of the Alabama Federation of Music Clubs and the State Teachers asso- ciation, a committee has been ap- pointed to examine teachers of music for public schools. While Birming- ham Is particularly fortunate in hav- ing st the head of public school music Miss Leta Kitts, widely known for her ability and achievements. there are other Alabama schools needing a higher musical standard. which will be required by this newly formed committee. This attainment will give Alabama a prominent place in musical work, and gain the rec ognition of educators throughout the United States.
 The announcement of the subject. Foreign Born American Composers" was made by Mrs. William Hood. leader. who followed 1t with an in- teresting explanation of how ob- staoles to Amerlca's musical growth have been removed, and how musi- clans from all countries are being att tracted to our shores. Mrs, Hood, with characteristic charm, prefaced each number with q short sketch of the composers history.
 Then followed a vocal selection. Revocation" the work of Ernest Block, born in Switzerland in 1880. This is one of four outdoor poems and was beautifully interpreted by Mrs. 0. L. Stephenson. The atmos- phere Of this song was further ern- phasized by visualizing it in 8 de- iightful manner. The stage was ar- ranged to suggest open spaces, into which came virgins in robes of i'm maculate white moving slowly" and carrying burning incense to the all tar, to which was brought the spirit of song.
 The next group was rendered by Mrs. ". D. Fondville. who has re- centIy come from the far west to make her home in Birmingham, and is a welcome addition to musical cir cles. Mrs Fondville was student of Richard Hagerman (born in Hol- land), and his song, Natures Holi- day" was her first offering. This song is descriptive of the coming of spring, and the bird calls were es- peeially lovely.
 In striking contrast to this Joyous outhurst was Mischa Elmans Womans Love-" through which runs

WOMEN's HIGHWAY
 COMMITTEES


 Much activity Is being aroused among the women and citizens gener- ally in regard to beautifying the Bankhead national highway from Washington to San Diego, Cal, &C., cording to the reports that are being received by J. A. Rountree. director general of the Bankhead National Highway association. The 13 states are being thoroughly organized.

 A committee on tree planting to de- eide on the best kind of trees to be planted and to secure the aid of the county commissioners, the property owners and the schools in this work
 A committee on memorials and marking the highway. This commit tee should include members of all the patriotic societies. the Colonial Danes, the D. A. R.'s. tho Daughters of Pa triots and Founders. and the U. D. C.'s whose cooperation we ara most anx- tus to secure.
 A committee on removing unsightly sign boards and all objectional ob jects on the highway.
 A committee on automobile camp sights to secure In every county an automobile camp for tourists.
 A legislative committee that will be alive on the interest of good roads. and to secure proper Legislation for their building and maintenance.

8 note of pathos. Elman is a young Russian American, and well known violin virtuoso. The name, "Vene- ziana," explains the character of the rext interesting song by Pietro A. Yonan, Italian. Mrs. Fondvi1le caught the spirit of each of these differing styles of composition and portrayed them to the delight of the audience.
 An exquisite example of the work of Charles Martin Loefler (Alsace). The Death of Tintagiles." was then presented by Mrs. Hume and Mir. Dunkley in piano arrangement for four hands. This symphonic poem was inspired by one of Maeterlinck's s little dramas for marionettes and runs the gamut of emotions from hope to despair. So excellent was the rendition of this big number the contrasts so well drawn-that fine orchestral effects were ob- tained.
 Always favorite with Birming- ham audiences, Mrs. Holly Cowhert again afforded great pleasure with the beautiful timbre of her voice. and her lovely presentation of three songs by Cecil Forsyths. an English man.
 Birmingham claims as one of her citizens Mir. Ferdinand Dunkley, composer. director, organist and pi- anist, born in England, educated at the Royal College of Music and who has lived in New York. Asheville, New Orleans and Portland. but who, to quote Mrs. Hood. we hope has moved for the last time"
 One of his charming songs, "Thy Dark Eyes to Mine." was sung by Mrs. Stephenson brilliantly and in 8 finished manner.
 Mir. Dunkley then afforded the club members the rare opportunity Of hearing the composers wetks inter- preted by himself.
 His first number was eThe Bells of Youth" rendered in masterful style, unmistakably depicting what the title suggests. The bells rang out joyous ly filled with the strength and as- surance of youth.
 Hills of Dream," next in this group, is lovely conception, dis- tinctly different In character from the preceding number. A composition so delicate as White Star of Time" must have as its originator one with a highly developed spiritual sense.
 The question running through The Unknown Wind" brought to beau- tiful close the mornings program.
