OLD BELLA UNION
 TO BE REOPENED
The Historic Vaudeville Theater to Take Fresh
 Start.
Carpenters and Reftters Will Have It Ready in About a
 Month.

After long siege of idleness, during which rust and general decay have reigned, the notorious old Bella Union is about to be reopened. The contractors decline to say who the new proprietors are.
 score of carpenters and refitters were busy on the old place yesterday, and it is announced that the resort will be opened about the middle of next month as frst-class song and dance house, with refreshments to suit the most fastidious tastes. Many fortunes have been made and lost in the place.
 A bit of history not generally known has just come to light concerning the old house. It is the fact that there was for a long time strong effort to turn the theater into a Chinese resort. Little Pete negotiated with Ned Foster for it's purchase shortly before Foster sold to the brewery syndicate. The sale would have been consummated but for the fact that the theater and all the property in the block are owned by the Alfred Borel banking house. Other tenants refused to pay their rent if the house was trans formed into a Chinese theater, so all ef- forts to that end were suspended. For some weeks the boycott ragged quite fercely, and the bank gave up all idea of allowing a deal to be made.
 Ed Harrigan, the well known Veda sis ters, Lotta, Sam Hickey. and many other well known actors got their start at this famous old vaudeville theater

from that office. J. c. Kirkpatrick has been made second vice-president to take Mills old place; Charles P. Bells has been made third vice-president in the place of I. E. Gates of New York who until the recent election was both an officer and director of the company. but who, in order that d quorum might be had on the Pacific Coast, was relieved from his directorship at the stockhold- CTS meeting on Tuesday, and the title of William M. Thompson has been changed from secretary and auditor" to ''secre tary and controller" With these eXcep- ttons the new officers are the same as the old.
 The stockholders of the Market-street Railway Company held a meeting yes terday to elect a board of directors with the following result: H. E. Huntington, Charles Holbrook, A. Hayward, Charles c. Lathrop. l. w. Hellman. George Crock CT, F. s. Douty, N. T. Smith, J. l.. Will cutt
 This makes the new board of the same composition as the old with one excep- tion. George Crocker was elected to fill the place of H. T. Scott. who resigned for business reasons which had been talked over and mutually agreed on. MT. Scotts resignation is not accompanied from the fact that he has so much other business to attend to that he has not the requisite time to devote to the duties of a director.
 The number of shares voted at the meeting was 152, ,267. The new board of directors will meet to-day and elect off, cers. It is thought that they will make no changes but will simply re-elect the present staff to serve for another year.

NEW YORK STOCKS.

NEW YORK, May stock brokers had a
busy two hours during the short session of
tervals Of idleness. The market was active
! throughout, and the keenness of the stocks
gathered force the session progressed I'M
til it had become very like a scramble to-
wards the close. Occasional offerings by
operators content to take their very substan-
tial profits were swallowed up with almost
no effect on prices.
The element of apprehension which had
caused the reaction at the close yesterday
was cleared up The release of the Lafayette
eliminated the fear of complication with
France over her seizure The reported an
nouncement Of the arrival of the McCulloch
at Hong Kong, with dispatches from Admiral
Dewey relieved the natural uneasiness that
was beinning to be felt over the prolonged
delay in receiving official advces from him.
There was some hesitancy in the trading un-
til an official confirmation had been received
from Washington of the good news from
Manila. The completeness Of the victory and
the safety Of the United States forces empha-
sizes anew the important bearing of the event
upon the prospects of a speedy termination
of the war.
The depression of some American securities
in London before the opening here was ig-
nored, and the advance in price was inaugu-
rated from the opening. Strong intimations
coming from official circles in Washington
that important news is expected from Admiral
Sampson by Sunday, and reports that the
Spanish fleet had been sighted off the French
West Indies aroused an expectation that the
first step towards the destruction Of the Span
ish naval force in the Atlantic was near at
hand and could safely be discounted in the
market.
The advancing price in grain in the West
gave added strength to the stocks OF rail-
roads running through the wheat bet. The
bank statement was also interpreted as dis
tinctly favorable. The decrease in surplus
reserves was due in large part to the increase
in reserve requirements through the addi-
tons to deposits and only partly to decrease
in cash. The net decrease in cash for the
week amounted in fact to only 5000 500 The
force of the upward tendency of prices was
remarkable in the second hour, and the days

was Mr.. Kellogg who followed Dr..
Kelly to Louisville and swore out the

Lower grade horses were sold from $50 to
SIS, and in some instances as low $50,
but these were of very inferior quality.
The Washington Post has this to say in
regard to the activity in the horse market
and the advance in prices:
Horses are going away up nowadays"
said a horse dealer of this city the other
day to a Post reporter. ''and the reason for
the rise in price is the present war; Why,
today l asked man $3.50 for horse which
l could not have had the conscience to ask
$50 for this time last year. and 1 offered
him the horse at comparatively cheap
price, too. Horses all around have gone
up from rs to IS per cent and good horses
are hard to get at any price.
you will remember that horses have
been very cheap for long time now, and
horse breeders have practically gone out
of the business. The consequence is that
the supply Of horses has fallen off very
considerably during the last few years, and
you can hardly get any good horses now.
Then, agricultural products have gone up
in price, and the people in the country need
all of their horses to help plant the crops
they are putting out this season. A re-
markable fact now is that horses are more
valuable in the country at present than
they are in the city. Good work horses
bring better price in the country now
than they have done for the last ten years,
equip many more cavalry troops, there is
no telling where the price of horses will
co.
THE PRODUCE MARKET.
There has been considerable activity in the
local produce market-more, in fact. 1t is said,
than for three or four years past, at this
season of the year A considerable demand
for potatoes has existed, but there was a
slight let-up in orders, the probable result OF
overstocking. Eggs are shade lower, the
increased supply incident to the spring sea-
son rendering them more plentiful, with
fewer orders for shipment to distant points.
Butter has been in good demand with prices
fairly steady. Green vegetables are beginning
to appear from local growers. Fruits are
fairly active. Strawberries of Arkansas
growth are largely in demand. Pineapples
and bananas are arriving. Oranges are rap
idly going cut of the market in connection
with sales in considerable quantities. The in
crease in the nearby demand for choice fruits
which are regarded luxuries is accepted
by dealers as an indication of improved finan-
cial conditions

early in the week. Mr.. Ringer said the
market had not been very active. In his
judgment. scarcity of horses has much to do
with 1t, inasmuch as the supply is difficult
to secure. and advancing prices are inevitable
from this time on, owing to the fact that
stocks are literally run down.
These are some of the representative sales
