(Chleago Tribune Cable, Copyright, mi.) Berlin. April 12. The former I;aier Wilhelm Hohenzolleni will not enter Germany on the occasion of his wife's burial next Saturday at Potsdam. .. Dispatches rrom his resi dence at Doom in Holland seem definitely to show this is the firul decision of the exiled emperor. Only a few weeks ago, when the death of the kaiserin momentarily was expected, the former kaiser, it tji said, planned to. accompany her v tji said, p I I'UUV LU 111 the imperial tombs near Her- J (in. The monarchists were prepar- nfir a creat demonstration to ex ploit the mourning of the people for the return of the throne. The return '' of King Constantihe to Greece gave them their main assurance. .. Since tha,t time, however, the for mer emperor Charles has been driven out of Hungary under the determin ed pressure of the people and of the entente while Constantine himself is none too sure of his place. More over the Dutch government has no tified the former kaiser that, if he leaves Holland, he will not be per mitted to return. . Under the present arrangements, the bodv of the former kaiserin will be placed tomorrow in a special built automobile which-has been at Doom for considerable time. This automo bile will take the coffin to the rail way station three miles distant There it will be-put on a special train, which by agreement between the Dutch and German governments will be permitted to proceed without delay to Potsdam. The former kaiser ,wi!l ride with the body to the train and will remain on the train until the first stop, which will be at the fron tier. From .there, it is. said, he will return to. Doom.. The members of the royal family and suite will proceed with the body to Potsdam where, the burial will take place on Saturday. The German government has not received ajiy request from the former kaiser to accompany the body. Chicago Judge Rules Friend Wife May "Frisk'' Man's Jeans Chicago,'. April 12.

Charges on Call Money Reduced; Conditions Easier Loans Cut to 4 1-2 and 4 Per Cent Brokers Reported To Have "Barrels of t - Money. . By HOLLAND A few weeks ago James S. . Alex ander, who is president of the Na tional Bank of Commerce, Ventured to predict that the rates charged for the use of money would continue high for along period.. Yet .so wise and experienced a man as Mr. Alex ander whose prediction for contin ued high money was accepted as worthy of serious consideration ap pears to have been in some error when making this forecast. For of a sudden the charges for the use of money lent upon call were reduced to Yi and even 4 per cent. This may be a temporary fluctuation, but !t was one of the unexpected evi dences that, from one point of view, conditions are becoming considerably easier for the time being at least. One report quotes a broker whose business it is to find, a market for call money as having said "there are barrels of money in the banks and yet there seems to be no demand for it." Customarily a reduction in money rates would tempt to specula tion and it is a fact that a certain form of speculation legitimate and honorable might be of avail at this time in bringing about an apprecia tion in the quotation, for securities. Brokers say however, that many of them have been carrying on and are now carrying on a "Woolworth" business. That is to say their prin cipal dealings are in five and 10 shares lots. For that reason proba bly no demand that was noticeable was made for any part of these bar rel of money. ' One Striking Effect. There wu, however, one effect pre sumably due In pert to those low charges for the use of money and It was en effect that wee observed In the bond barket. For a tittle while late In February there cme a falling- off In the marketing of bonds, as compared with the sales aggregating several hundred millions which were made early in the year. Now. however,, there are abundant evidences that bonds are to be marketed upon a large scale. This does not reflect a speculative purpose, but In stead Investment. The principal bond houses of New York would not be aston ished If a very great marketing of bonds took vlace In the remaining months of the spring. - , '. ' Great Store of Wool and Tildes. Reports reached New Tork that in the wool producing nations of South America large surplus stocks of wool and hides are accumulated. That wool surplus will be Increased by the wool clip of this year. - It Is an extraordinary condition. The South American nations are anxious to buy Amer ican commodities and are also anxious to sell their- own raw material, much of which la needed In the United States. But there is a deadlock. This foreign trade is upon a dead center and It la almost with out precedent that a nation which has am ple supplies of raw material and is anx ious to exchange them for American prod ucts finds it Impossible to make this ex change. Unquestionably this difficulty will be solved by and by. Reports which come from New York from other nations, especially from' those which yere our allies during the war, in dicate that their trade is Improving. If only Russia were able fully and fairly to meet the conditions set forth by Secretary of State Hughes, there might be estab lished a trade with Russia which would be by and by of Immense service in re storing normal economlo conditions. It has been said that the potential production or Russia Is an asset which Is of vital Im portance to the. commercial world and especially to Europe. For Europe cannot aeeure economlo stability until Russia's productivity is restored. And yet, Secretary of Commerce Hoov er has recently stated that the real block ade against trade has been the failure of Russia to produce anything excepting gold and platinum as a basis for tra.de. Russia now possesses' in gold, platinum and Jewelry not less than $60.0Hl,ono and prob ably as much as 1200.000.0000. Large as this sum Is It would be almost' Instantly exhausted were trade. with Russia to be resumed. Observe Increase. But the cations of Europe are gradual ly gaining In their export and- Import trade. This Is done In spite of the high rate of the dollar and In the ease of one of the nations, at least.- to the decline in the price of cotton. Denmark, however, is now able to report a favorable increase In her foreign trade. This increase was ob served In 120 and . is continuing. The unfavorable trade balance of 1111 was de creased In 1920. Little Finland 1 also furnishing an ob lMann worthv of the consideration of this country. The foreign trade of Fin land In 1920 -was 10 times in excess oi us trmAm before the- European war began. Finland sends "word to- the United States that the money value or her imports ana exports almost exactly belance and there Is no other European country of which this can be said. Exports Crowing. Belgium's foreign trade Is Increasing and one of the most interesting reports comes from France, for It states that the eco nomlo situation In that republic has since the first of January well improved. The exports from France are growinj and gradually but surely that country is on the road to the recovery of her foreign trade. This condition is even more marked In Italr. The trade balance of that kingdom. for 1920 was considerable In excess of her trade balance in 1919. It was able to ex port a large amount of merchandise, fqur or five times greater than were its ex ports for 191. . In fact, with On or two exceptions, for eign trade Is certainly Increasing in the nations which a year ago were reported to be In the depthe of despair. One of these days Great Britain is to adopt a policy which when completed will change the motive power upon . her railroads from steam to electricity. This change would already be under way were it not for the cost which electrification entails. But-- In this country the New Haven railroad sys tem, the Et. Paul system, a part of the New York Central system, have discovered that Although the first cost of electrifica tion Is very large, yet the economies which electrification makes possible Justified ex penditure ef the large sums needed tor electrification of their railway systems. . 1 Jiew York Money. .

The United States Steel corporation's announcement of a general reduc tion in its prices, make the cut from the level hithcrjo consistently maintained by the. company since March of 1919, range as high as $5 per tdn on various important prod ucts and on some of them it ap parently brings the prices back to those which prevailed in ' 1916. By people fimiliar with the sit uation, this action has been regard ed as an economic- certainty for many weeks. . No doubt it will be regarded in some quarters, as a cul minating evidence of the industrial depression. But, with the steel trade's present poslt-tun what it is. the reduction can hardly make trade or profits any worse, and the moral effect of reduction of prices In that Industry, when they had long been out of line with other markets, hns, li the long run, almost Invariably been lencflclal. Announcement Surprise. The day's stack market had, as a whole. Indicated no anticipation of the announcement though, the steel company shares were rather conspicuously points of weakness. Klsewhere the familiar Ir regularity of movement continued, eome blocks edvsncing while other declined. The president's message was discussed, biit Mr. Harding's declarations of policy vero neither unexpected nor startling to Wall Street: most of them had been rlearly foreshadowed beforehand from from Washington and none of them throw ary great amount of light on what pre cise legislative or diplomatic measures are to follow. The controversy over for eign rllcles has long since been given up In despair by the financial community as a eotrce of enlightenment. Forotgn exchange moved little; the ad vance of the preceding day was checked. The federal reserve board's report on the country's gold imports up to the close of March gives the rather striking Informa tion that our Importations during last month alone, were no less thsri $100,372. 000. a monthly total never exceeded, ex cept In two months of 1916,' two of 1917 and lest October. , New York Quotations Range of prices of the leading stocks furnished by Logan ft Bryan, Peters Trust building: RAILS.
