of Suffering for Food Has Passed.

Oakland, April 23.-The necessity
of quarantining the refugees in the
Park is yet a possibility. With human
beings, horses and dogs crowded to-
gether in such close quarters e is al
most impossible to prevent the spread
of disease, though the looked for cpl
demic has not developed.
The street railway officials announce
the cars will be operated from the
ferry buildings through some of the
ruined streets at once and within a
few days temporary service establish
ed over the greater part of the city.
The condition Of the homeless was
aggravated this morning by rain. All
houses fit for occupancy are being
utilized to shelter as many as can be
safely placed in them and frame struc-
lures in the parks are being hurried
to completion. Thousands are being
transported across the bay free Of
charge where they will find temporary
homes in other places while the work
of reconstruction is in progress. Gangs
will be set at work at once to clear
the debris from the streets, which will
give employment to thousands Of men.
Many firms have opened up tempora-
rv hrarters in Oakland and announce
that they will care for their employees
until such time as they can be put
back to work.
The danger Of suffering for lack Of
food or clothing is past.

Strength of Cotton Seed Oil.

In explaining the strength Of cotton
seed oil prices, the Oil. Paint and Drug
Reporter declares that consumption
has shown a greater increase than
generally believed, and the quantity
Of oil il possession Of the mills is and
has for some time been much smaller
than supposed, and consequently the
crushers have been disposed to- await
more favorable 2, conditions and have
not offered their Oil as freely at the
current market quotations. There is
probably no question Of shortage, but
the supply is smaller than generally
estimated, and as most Of the mills
have closed for the season, little more
oil will be made this crop year. OF
course many Of the mills will resume
crushing for time later in the season
but the farmers having received good
prices for their seed, have sold it more
closely than usual, and smaller sur

ter seeding is completed. The smaller
stocks in possession Of the crushers,
and the knowledge that there will be
comparatively little seed available for
the second crush, has made the mill
owners firm in their views, and lat
terly Indifferent sellers at prevailing
prices, as they have faith that prices
will later go in their favor. Moreover,
other elements Of strength are the in
creased requirements abroad, the ad-
vance in competing greases, and the
stronger position Of most vegetable
oils in foreign markets For soap
making the requirements have also
increased The supply Of oil in pos

terests is known to be comparatively
light, and they will be compelled to
replenish their supplies sooner or Ia

policy of holding off to compel the
crushers to accept lower offers. Con-
sumption in foreign countries has in
