NEW YORK, August 7.-lSpecial Telegram
to The BEE. EE.I--STooKs-There was less
bullish feeling in stocks ut the uptown re-
sorts last night and less decisive action in
the general list early to-day. 1t was conced-
ed that much Of the short interest has been
eliminated aud its forco lost on the bull side.
1t was apparent that the leading bulls sold
on the closing decline yesterday; IL was
thought both to take out profits and shake
out u too numerous following. The Chicago
interest is bullish for q long run, and dis
patches indicate that the public may become
buyers to the extent of preventing any more

but Delaware & Hudson was exceptional,
with a rise OF u per cent at l461l. There
were further advances in early dealings Of
small fractions, though In a few cases
marked strength was shown, and Lake Erie
g. Western preferred, after opening up a per
cent at 62. rose ~ per cent TO u, but
afterward lost q portion Of the Improvement.
Chesapeake & Ohio stocks were strong and
first preferred rose X per cent to 6s1s. and
Rock Island rose y per cent. Burlington
moved up u TO i0s16, st. Paul S TO 724,
Missouri Pacific u to II and Union Pacific u
per cent TO 6i. The entire market then re-
acted and most stocks returned to small
fractions below the opening figures. After
the first hour there was a dropping tendency
IN stocks, with slight changes until noon.
During the closing hours there was more de-
cided weakness because of the prospect OF
further disturbances among southwestern
roads. Changes from last night were not
significant except in Chesapeake g. Ohio com.
mon, which was u per cent higher at 251S
for first preferred and u per cent over the

"Ehe Kings FOOI'' at the Grand

"The Kings FOOI'' at the Grand
Opera House Tonight.
There will be series of packed houses
at the Grand Opera House this week, as
there has been continuous rush for
seats for the magnificent production of
The Kings Fool by the Conried Opera
Company. A large corps of carpenters
are at work arranging the stage for the
new scenery used in this production, and
theatre-goers can prepare for delightful
vision when the curtain goes up. With
108 artists in the cast and corps OF 65
young and pretty girls on the stage,
elegantly costumed, Tennyson's "Dream
of Fair Women" will be most adequately
realized.
The marches of the chorus girls are
uniquely beautiful. The evolutions have
been designed by Manager Conried and
copyrighted. They form many beautiful
figures on the stage, and do it 80 quickly
and artistically as to fairly bewilder the
audience.
The music of The Kings Fool is far
above the average of comic opera. 1t is
virtually grand opera in the first two
acts, being happy medium between
Wagner and Won Suppe. The orchestra
tlOu l5 IlCL JuO66
massive and solid chords that delight the
ear of the trained musician.
The extraordinary demand for seats is
an indication that musical and society
folk appreciate Manager Conried's efforts
to give them spectacular musical pa
geant on a grand scale and intend to
liberally patronize it.

The story of The Kings Fool is laid in
the days of the Regent Philip of Spain.
The revenge of the court Jester, whose
father has been tortured to death by
Philip, is the motive which leads to the
unmasking of the Regents villainy in
kidnapping the Prince heir-apparent
when an infant.
The plot turns on the contentious Of
two rival political factions, the Reds and
the Blacks, who are aware that the heir
apparent, Prince Julius, had been kid
mapped and reared as a girl, with the
nieces of the Countess Corisanda, first
lady in waiting for the Regent. Both
factions are anxious to secure possession
of the Prince, in order to overthrow the
Regent. The military party, the Reds,
in the first act try to capture the Prince,
who is still disguised as Princess, and
through an amusing contretemps secure
a veritable Princess, daughter of the
Countess Corisanda.
In the second act the military party
are discovered encamped in beautiful
woodland scene, with cascades of rum
ming water. The Princess Felisa, who
has been mistaken for the Prince, de-
gpitA her avoWals ia forced To apDear in
male attire as their chieftain. In the
finale the real Prince comes to the rescue
of the Princess Felisa, with whom he is
in love.
The Countess Corisanda follows the
Prince to the camp and in a dramatic
scene is called on to decide which is the
real Prince, and on her decision depends
the death of the pretender. 1t will be
readily perceived that this curious COM
plication gives rise to many quaint situa-
tions and denouments.
The third act happily solves all the
vexed problems.
