STOCK MARKET is
KEPT in TURMOIL
Considerable Progress Made in
Adjustment of FinaEcial and
Industrial Prospect

NEW YORK, June 12.-The course of
the rate controversy between the gov
ernment and the railroads was accom-
panied last week by violent speculative
perturbation and wide price fiuctu-
ations.
The foreign market for American
railroad bonds was said to have been
destroyed by the injunction proceed
ings Monday, although a cable dis
patch TO the Associated Press on that
day reported the sale of $25,000,000
Southern Pacific bonds to a group of
German bankers.
The stock market was kept in a tur-
moil by these conflicting views from
sources usually accepted as authorita-
tive. and suspicion was rife of designs
to influence the market movement in
behalf of interrupted operations. The
downward plunge of prices Monday
carried the list to the lowest level of
the year and the rebound of Tuesday
was even wilder.
More substantial factors received
little consideration in the disorder of
the more highly speculative move
ments. The fact remained, however,
that considerable progress was max
ing in the adjustment of the financial
and industrial prospect
The same progress has been going
on i'm the >grain and cotton markets
where it is hoped new price levels will
revive the foreign demand.
Banking centers in the west report
some progress in the reduction of loan
accounts based on farm purchases, al
though that point in the situation, as
well as the status of irrigation prof.
ects, still commands attention.
The easing turn of foreign money
markets affords a gratifying supple
ment to the strengthened position in
this country in view of the require
ments to be met in moving the coming
harVests.
The government crop report for June
was taken as offering good promise
of wheat output of upward of 700,
100000 bushels, and the harvest is not
believed to be threatened by the back
wardness of the growing crop.

YACHTSMEN LOSE
SLOOP ON ROCKS
After Having Mainsheet Carried
Away and Getting Tow to
Safety Vessel Sinks

The 25 foot sloop Lillian, former
California yacht club boat, which was
bought last week by Arthur Munch a
local stationer. was sunk yesterday
afternoon on the rocks off the Alameda
narrow gauge mole The yacht was
brought down from Sheep island last
week and anchored in San Leandro bay.
Yesterday morning Arthur Munich,
John Knottner and George Murray. the
crew of the yacht left their anchor
age for days outing. None of the
crew was familiar with the handling of
a yacht, their only experience having
been with rowboats.
When off Goat island their mainsheet
was carried away and with the wind
blowing a so knot clip they were in
imminent danger of being swamped, as
it beat them broadside toward the
island. The marine lookout on. the
island discovered their helpIessness
and government launch was sent to
their aid.
The launch towed them to the Ala
media mole and left them in apparent
safety, but inexperience again showed
itself when the youths attempted to
drop anchor on the windward side of
the mole instead of on the lee. The
anchor failed to hold and the little
craft was soon swept on the sharp
rocks and in a few moments the boat
foundered and sank. The crew scram-
bled ashore on the rocks, not much the
worse for the ducking
The sloop Merry Widow of the
Aeolian yacht club of Alameda, while
sailing off Aquatic park at the foot of
Van Ness avenue yesterday afternoon,
was driven ashore in front of the Dol
phin boat club house. when the boat
was hit by sudden puff of wind.
1t took the crew and a number of the
Dolphin, South End and Ariels oars
men, assisted by a launch, four hours
TO pull the yacht off. The Widow is
owned by Arthur F. Rousseau and a
few weeks ago was the challenger for
the San Francisco perpetual challenge
cup. The extent of the damages will
not be known until the yacht is put on
the WAYS.

MILITIAMEN TO
HANDLE Big GUNS
Six Companies of Citizen Sol
diers Camped Near FOrtifi-
cations at Preside

Yesterday was visitors day at the
militia camp at the Presidio. where the
six local companies of citizen soldiers
are about to commence a weeks lesson
in working Uncle Sans big guns.
Though the soldiers were given Sunday
as day of rest large crowd visited
the camp and viewed the big guns, an
opportunity accorded visitors only dur
ing the time the militia is in camp.
The camp is located on the parade
ground directly behind Fort Winfield
Scott. The men are housed in army
tents
The regular troops are also camped
by the big guns, their camps being at
Forts Barry, Baker, Miley and Presidio.
The instruction the citizen soldiers will
receive will be from the regulars. To-
days work for the militia will consist
of elementary drill at guns and range
finding stations. 1t is termed progress
sive instruction.
While the men are learning to handle
the guns the officers of the militia will
