NEW YORK, April 1J.-Today's market
opened at substantial advances over last
nights closing level and held its position
with the same stubbornness which has
heretofore characterized its daily course.
London's early cables reflected consi,i-ra bic
III gularity at that center, advances of |
per cent in some instances being offset by
declines of equal amount in others.
Spanish bonds moved up slightly and Serv-
ed To make "A background for further peace
arguments.
The coming session of the cortns WAS va
riously construed in financial circles. but
the better tone in the European markets
gave colcr to the presumption that Spain
WAS preparing to n axe further concessions
in the interest of peace.
Local confidence in the avoidance of war
continues to he reflected in current prices
The basis for this belief is not easily
demonstrated. but whether merely instinct
or something more tangible ther. can be
no reasonable dOlot OF its existence. The
market is supported only and not bought
willingly by the larger interests. The al
Nances are nearly always ti1e result of a
professional covering of short contracts
The long account receives few new recruits
but ii loses little from deSprtons. Liqui-
cation is absent and the short interest her

III Is "A comparatively easy TASK 10 Keep
stocks moving about center because Of
these conditions. There is much argument
looking to the proving Of the idea that war
has been discounted. Operators not usual
iy quoted as to their market position are
too openly advocati ting the belief that prices
are at bottom. no matter what may happen.
The market refuses To go DOWN in the
face of bad news. il must be admitted yet
there are few large buying orders reflected
on the tape.
Commission houses advise caution on all
sides. and are united only in the belief that
the wider fuctuation will be upward.
The orders resulting from tn. So argu-
| ments are Invariably put at prices from I
to 3 per cent under the market. From his
fact 1t may seen that the public at least
expect lower prices. The expectation is
based principally the idea that uncer-
tanty Will reach acute stage, resulting
in moderate liquidation.
No war panic is coAtem plated either
among the professional or non-profess:onal al
speculative element. The action Of the
Senate is awaited with more Jnan ordinary
interest, and upon such action the mark;

RED CROSS FUNDS.

OAKLAND. June 22.-The Red Cross League is somewhat divided regarding the scope of it's work. There has been some difference of opinion expressed, and at the meeting yesterday the president, Mrs. Abbott. declared that some remarks made by Mrs. Friend were ''insubordinate. Mrs. Friend is chairman of the Fifth Ward Promoting Committee and she au once resigned and Miss Maria Babson, a member of the executive committee, dld likewise.
 My remarks did not apply to any par tfcular member or committed. said Mrs. Friend nor Miss Babson will resign from the committee, and think when they un- derstand what I really intended by my remarks they will not. There IS a ten dency on the part of some. people to criticize the executive board for with holding its money, but we feel 1t is abso- lutely necessary to watch out for funds closely. We are ordered by the State so- ciety to do so and we must not d1soDey orders. No one has any right to criticize us for obeying orders and 1 mentioned the matter as I thought it proper time to call the attention of the ladies to the fact that we look upon the Red Cross funds as public trust, not to be touched upon lightly. upon the San Francisco Society for $500u and we understand 1t will be our turn to give next, so we must be in readiness to meet the call 1 am sorry that my re- marks have caused any unpleaSantneSs and I will explain matters

each 1900 feet; s. II. Hannon, 800 feet.
 Two most pitiable cases were brought to the Patriotic Home Helpers Society s headquarters yesterday, and while they are only two of many cases now in the hands of the society, their absolute need should appeal to every charitably dis posed person. One is a woman with six children, whose only support, a son, has enlisted in the cavalry. She is abso- lutely destitute, without food or money, her bedding and mattresses having been taken away by the landlord. The other is one of sickness and poverty. The hus- band having enlisted in the navy she is alone and in need of medical attendance. The society does all in it's power to all leviate distress, but each case has to be investigated first, so donations of money and food are most earnestly solicited.
 The two women who are collecting from house to house in the vicinity of Pacific avenue and Jackson street are impostors, and the public is warned by the Red Cross not to aid them.
 The Austrian Military and Benevolent Association will hold its twentieth an- nual family gathering and outing at Ger mania Gardens, near Presidio, next Sun- day, June 25 AS the proceeds of the pie nic will be given to the Red Cross So- ciety of California, the association has made efforts to make this occasion dis tinctly enjoyable one, and expects to be literally patronized.

YUKON VESSELS.
Those Carrying Passengers Hay Soon
 Be Subject to Inspection.

DC SuOJSCL JO luSpecClOu.
 The movement of the Supervisors and the Chamber of Commerce to have sail ing vessels carrying passengers inspected by Federal officials before leaving port is beginning to bear fruit. After num- Der of disasters and mishaps, like those of the Amy and Jane Gray, in which lives were lost, the bodies mentioned came to the conclusion that it was time for all sailing vessels carrying passen- gers to be inspected to determine if they were safe to carry such precious freight. A resolution was sent to Senator Per kins, expressing the desire of having some law passed whereby such ships should be inspected by a Federal officer, the books. Senator Perkins went to work as requested, and what has been accomplished is shown by the following letter, received yesterday:
 WASHINGTON, D. C., June 15, 1s9s

Hugh Craig, President Chamber of Commercially Dear Sir: Your telegram of June 14 relative to supervision by the United States of sailing vessels carrying passengers is at hand and a copy has been placed in the matter has been called to the attention of the Treasury Department and I now preparing a bill bearing on the subject, which will fn- troduce at once
