Few plays ever attain the record-

the two years run of “The brent Di

presented by Henry Milter last season
at his Princess Theater, and M as trans
ferred to the historic Daly's Theater
this season, playing In all over 500
performances to the largest receipts of
either house. The announcement that
this attraction wllj be presented next
Friday and Saturday, at the Grand, has
stirred up an unusual amount of Inter

known that “The Great Divide" Is not

After o|>euing 1 to rf poftita lower, a feeble rally occurred, lost the Improvement snd sold off to below Thursday's lor point,
and then, advanced a few points. *
The denfimd for spot cotton continuer gmsl. tho tho tone Is slightly easier. At no point Is a pressure to sell noted.
A prominent s|H»t cotton firm of Montgomery rends out the following wire Thursday morning:
"There has Iteen more buying by Kantcru nud Southern mills III the Inst five days than there has.beau In five weeks previous.
The demand seems to have set In for good, nud luck of iqiot offerings seems the only olistsele to doing s heavy business with the
American mills. Hurope Is still In the market nud what offerings there nre South are quickly accepted. Eleven cents was freely
paid last night In the Interior; In a few Instances llHe, notably In river sections. Houtheni mills report inore^tnqulry for their
goods."
The following from West Point. Gn., la encouraging, and probably holds good In other mill sections of the Pouth:
"The a initial ranting* of the lainctte Cotton Mills. Lunette Bleuchery and Bve Works, the V.eat Point Manufacturing Oom-
E nv, the Itlrerdale Cotton Mills nud the Chattahoochee Valley railroad were held In the office of President J^ Lnnlrr this ntorfk-
an/I the nsmil dividend was dedared. with « large amount added to the undivided imifitl of the various Industries,
“The amount of rattan consumed annually by these mills is 50,000 I axles, and ns soou ns the new dnek mill under construction
Is complete*! the consumption of cottou will l»e 75,000 bales.
"The amount of money paid out Is 1500,000 yearly In pay rolls, and these mills pfty off weekly.
The fiiiniiclul situation Is Improving, ns Indicated by wires from New York. Cotton will follow In the wake of Onnuclfll Im
provement, and In the very near future much better prices nre expected.
