 MT. Marconi is expected to leave Eu- rope for the United States during the latter part of March. The king of Italy has placed at his disposal the battle ship Carlo Alberto, and if present ar engagements are not interfered with, he will arrive about the 27th proxino, and it is his intention to open up the ser vice commercially between America and England.
 A correspondent of the Montreal Her aid has recently written from London that among the important developments of the Marconi system is mechanical transmitter and receiver by which the speed of transmission is increased to several thousand words.

YESTERDAI'S STOCK MARKET

Feeble Wavering of Prices.
 New York, Feb. 29.-The feeble wav- ering of prices in to-day's stock market represented nothing more than the fat uous attempts of 8 few small room traders to find movable spot in the market for either an upward or down. ward course. The range of the days extreme movement was an average of considerably less than point, and the extreme from Saturdays level was not more than a small fraction. The ag- gregate sales for the day fell to 171,900 shares.
 The opening movement was inclined downwards to-day. Paris was report ed to be in condition of nervous ap- prehension over the preliminaries to the settlement. In this market the Fries were slightly heavier than the average, which was accounted for by the extremely unfavorable showing of net earnings for January, with a fall of nearly 8 million dollars from the lev el of last January, due both to an in- crease in operating expenses and de- crease in gross earnings. Railroad re- ports for the day were generally unfa- vorable with the notable exception of Union Pacific, which was able to show reduction of expenses to help out the increased gross. The stock got no ben eft from it until the pressure upon Erie and the general list was relaxed. The break in the London copper market l hurt Amalgamated Copper in the initial market, but it recovered later. The dread of a Northern Securities decision was plainly an influence in the market, 1 but the postponement, with another period of suspense for the market un- l locked no animation in the trading. Prices hardened appreciably in the af- | ternoon.
 The belief is thus engendered that stocks are in strong hands, but it is equally an article of the faith that those hands are full-at least, that their own CTS are unwilling to take on more at | present. The coal conference over l wages was a oppressive influence. Penn- ] sylvania was notably firm, apparently on the consideration of it's annual statement. United States Steel prefer red was benefited by reports of large purchase of pig iron by the corpora tion. The closing was very firm, but | intensely dull.
 Bonds became irregular after early heaviness. An advance in United States Steel second lives helped the general list. The total sales, par value, aggre- gated $1,315, ,0o0
 United States old fours advanced 4 on call.

 This concert will undoubtedly draw one of the largest audiences of the sea son, for the programme is of unusual interest and. merit containing some of the best works of the greatest compos- CTS.

 Volkmanns aSerenade for String Orr hestra and Cello" is a beautiful com position in a lighter and happier vein than the other orchestral numbers. The solo part will be played by Ludwig Hoffman, an admirable artist, who be- came valuable member of the orches- tra this season.
 Tsehaikowsky's Sixth Symphony, ''The Pathetic" composed in 1893, and the last big work of the great Russian composer, is the orchestral performance of the afternoon to arouse the most hu- man interest and enthusiasm of the audience.
 In securing David Bispham as solo- ist the management offers not only the privilege of hearing one of the greatest of actor-singers, but also one of the greatest Of operatic arias. Wotans Farewell from Die Waulkure' and in the orchestral accompaniment some of Wagner's most startling effects. Some critics consider Die Waulkure' Wag ner's greatest work and the Wotan aria the greatest Of that particular music drama. David Bispham sings the part magnificently, and while it will lose something of the scenic effect this par ticular composition lends itself admir- 1 ably to the concert stage. The orchestra has had to work very hard to encom- pass the extremely difficult music of this work but the last rehearsal did wonders in smoothing out the rough 1 places.

THINKS RISK
IS TOO GREAT

Commissioners of Works Schmitz,
Casey and Maestretti received notth-
cation yesterday from guaranty COM
pany, which is surety on their official
bonds in the sum of $25, 900 each, that
the company desired to withdraw from
their bonds, owing to the fact that
judgments had been obtained from the
Commissioners personally by persons
who had been injured by defective
sidewalks. The company explained
that it desired to be released from re-
sponsibility in the premises, as the FISK
was deemed too great.
The matter was informally discussed
at the meeting of the board, and the
Commissioners agreed that they would
not consent to the company withdraw
ing from the bonds. They claimed that
the charter provision holding them per-
sonally responsible for accidents on
public thorOughfares is illegal.
Complaint was received by the BOARD
that Wetmore Brothers were blasting
for grading purposes on the roadway
of Montgomery street, between Green-
wlch and Lombard. President Sohm,tz
instructed City Engineer Woodward to
stop operations If the complaint is well
founded.
The Board of Works opened bids for
the grading and macadam1zfnS OF
Nineteenth avenue, from Trocadero
culvert OF Ocean road. The lowest
proposal was from G.. W. Cushing,
whose bid of s4115 56 will be accepted
at a future meeting of the board
The board overruled the protests of
property-owners against the sewering
of Park Hill avenue, South Broder1ck
and Tilden streets, and adopted reso-
luton recommending that the work be
ordered by the Supervisors.
James Reavey was appointed assist
ant to Chemist ]. H. Gray at 800 per
month.
The Board of Education sent a re-
quest that the plans and specifications
Of the Washington Grammar and other
schools covered by the bond issue be
completed, and the City Architect was
directed to comply. The request Of the
board that SURVEYS Of all school prop
critics be prepared was referred to the
Supervisors, as there are no funds for
the work.
Attorney Wright appeared before the
board and urged the granting of per-
mits to flower peddlers in accordance
with the ordinance establishing free
flower markets at certain designated
points. Wright was informed that per-
mits would be granted next Monday,
to give Commissioner Casey, who has
Just returned from the East, an oppor-
tunity to study the regulations as sub
mitted by the Merchants Association.
IT will saw" said President Schmitz.

1t was no part of Mrs. Annie Duffy's
wedding compact that she take moth
er-ln-law into her household, but she
hled no objection when her husband
proposed that his maternal relative be
installed as a permanent inmate OF the
new home which he had established in
Guy place. a short cul-de-sac shooting
westward from First street, between
Folsom and Harrison. Although
the young bride had read and heard
much about the discomfort of having
ones husbands mother constantly in
domestic evidence, she had no misgiv-
ing concerning her ability to dwell in
amity with Mamma Duffy, whose tenn
peramental sweetness was enthusias-
ticslly vOuched for by her son.
She is not the mother-in-law depict
ed in the comic papers and described
by the stage monolOgists," said Mr..
Duffy. and you'll find her experience
as a housekeeper of great help to you,
TO say nothing of her charm as a COM
panion while am absent"
So 1t was with a happy heart that
the younger woman welcomed the elder
and exerted herself to make their rela-
tionship mutually pleasant. The best
room was given TO Mamma Duffy, and
Mamma Duffy had the choice seat at
table and the daintiest portions of the
food. There was nothing too good for
Mamma Duffy. All that worried Mrs.
Annie was fear that she might over
look some means by which she could
contribute to Mamma Duffy's bliss.
That care, however. gradually ceased
to canker. the alleviating cause
being Mamma Dufy's conduct.
Mamma Duffy, in fact, proved posses
sion Of all the traits ascribed TO moth
eTs-in-law by the funny writer's and
artists and actors. She likewise re-
vealed a few that were hers exclusive
ly. Among the latter, according to
Mrs. Annie's testimony yesterday be
fore Police Judge Cabaniss, were a pas
sionate fondness for alcoholic stimu-
lants and an annoying habit of bor-
rowing small sums of money and
neglecting to pay her creditors. AS for
nagging, Mamma Duffy fairly reveled
in il.
1T was impossible to put up with
her ways Mrs. Annie testified. Good
ness knows, 1 did my best TO endure
her and preserve peace in the family,
but the more I fOrgave and tried TO
forget the harder she rubbed il in.
When she wasn't drunk she was try

All of which was fully corrObOrated
by William John Duffy. who boards
with Mrs. Annie. but is not related by
blood to any Of the parties in the case.
Then the defendant mounted the wit
ness stand and after winking know

PACIFIC NAIL
SUBMITS PLANS

The matter Of new dock for the Pa
cifc Mail Steamship Company reached
the second stage yesterday, when Gen
eral Manager Schwerin submitted TO
the Board of Harbor Commissioners
suggestions for construction plans.
Some time ago bids were advertised,
opened by the board and the offer ac-
cepted was for 1921, 900 TO build a wharf
and double-story shed covering the
same. The steamship company consid-
cred the cost too great, and suggested
$210, 900 as a more suitable figure.
In his communication yesterday
Schwerin asks for two sets of docks of
two wharves each, the four structures
each to be 500 feet long and 125 feet
wide, to be shielded over for a length
OF 7S0 feet and a width OF ninety feet,
one Of the sheds TO be double decked.
The piers are to stand a tidal strain
of secured ships Of 500 feet in length
storm and winter tides, and the second
story of the shed to stand a stress of
125 pounds TO the square inch.
The Board Of Harbor Commissioners
will prepare plans along the line of
these suggestions and ask for bids.

peka and Santa Fe Railroad Company
