BRILLIANT PROSPECT. b
Popular birmingham Young Lady Developing
Great Histrionic Talent.


DR.. George NJ. Morrow recently visited
New York. and while there he called on
A. M. Palmer, the we1l-known theatrical
manager DR.. Morrow carried a warm
letter of introduction from Governor
Oates, and was cordially received by the
famous theatrical manager. Mr.. Palmer
had recently visited Chicago, and while
there had heard DIR. Morrow's gifted
daughter, Miss Lucy, who appeared in a
dramatic presentation given by Mr.. Con-
ways school. DR.. Morrow asked Mr..
Palmer for his candid opinion as to Miss
Lucy's qualifications for the stage. 10
replied at once that she possessed native
dramatic talent of high order, which
united with her rich voice and pleasing
personality. would insure her success
full and probably a very brilliant career
upon the stage. Acting upon the judy
ment of Mr.. Palmer, DIR. Morrow has vir-
tually consented to allow Miss Lucy to
go to New York and enter upon career
on the stage. and will give her proper
guardianship. 1t is with regret that the
great many friends of Miss Lucy Morrow
suffer the absence of her talents in Birm-
inghams social life, yet all rejoice that
brilliant career has been opened TO her
under ia corabie auspices

RALEIGH MARKET.
HUBBARD BROS, & co.'s. LETTER

HUBBARD BROS, & co.'s. LETTER.
New York May - speciaD
market to-day differs from that of
the preceding days only in thattIt
is dull in contracts with the activity
with the class which prevailed on the
recent advance.
Easier foreign advance and better
crop accounts, accompanied by pre-
dictions of showers throughout the
cotton belt where rain is needed, are
almost without effect upon prices nor
do reports of reductions in wages and
closing of mills by Northern spinners
receive any consideration The at
tention of the trade is concentrated on
the local position and the anticipation
of further advance on the covering
of the short interest which may re-
main in the market after this advance
OF 80 points, until the market is gov
erned by factors which, by their in
fluence upon the mind, produce senti-
ment in either direction in favor of or
against values.
Opinions regarding fluctuations are
without any foundation. This advance
has had one noticeable effect regard
ing the new crop, viz, of bringing to
the front the question of whether, in
view of the small supply, the demand
for the earlier shipments may not
maintain values upon a higher level
than is now thought possible.
A shade lower closing, due more to
feeling of disappointment that the
market was not sustained than to any
sother cause, is the chronicle of
the afternoon session. The trade, how
ever, believes that the bull movement
is by no means over and higher mar
ket is expected tomorrow.
