GERMANY ON CECIL RHODES.
Beouest Shows the Wide Reach of His
 Wonderful Mind.

Berlin. April 6-"This bequest shows the wide reach of Cecil Rhodes mind and his vision of the future" said Emperor William to pr. Von LaCanus, the chief of His Majesty's civil cabinet, who al- luded to the will of MT. Rhodes during an audience with the Emperor vest terday morning.
 It was then pointed out to His Majesty that MT. Rhodes. while leaving precise di- rections ss to the selection of the benefic- iaries of the Rhodes scholarships in other co, ntries. the selection of the benefic- iar.es of the fifteen scholarships set aside for Germans had been left to the discretion of Emperor William.
 The peauests of MT. Rhodes are regard ed at Curt as constituting an enduring impulse to good feeling between Germany, Great Britain and the United States and the colonies of these countries and as giving more substance to the grouping of the Teutonic powers.
 ''rhe earth belongs to the vital, living peoples, and these should act as one when inefficient powers check advance ment," is another utterance attributed to the German Emperor when His Majesty was speaking of Prince Henry's trip and the need of better understanding with the United States.
 The inclusion of Germany in MT Rhodes aims, as set forth in his will, has brought out some considerate expressions concerning his imperial purposes from even the Anglophoebe journals, although most of the commentators on his pur- poses mold him responsible for the B0e' war.
 Why, l have not such ministerp Emperor William Is said to have ex- claimed after an interview with Cecil Rhodes in 1899. This remark is now widely reproduced and it enables the op- position paragra phists to revile the pres ent ministry.

LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.
English Traders Are Wary About Handling American R. R. Stock.

London, April 6.-As was expected the turn of the years first quarter brought somewhat easier money and operators were enabled to repay e3,000,00O to the bank. But with 99,O00,O 900 still owing the budget proposals not yet revealed. and the new loan still undecided, it is hard to gauge accurately the future position. The Stock Exchange has not mprov ed since the Easter holidays. The chief fea- ture last week was a sharp revival in American railroad shares. but the opera tions of Friday revealed total absence of these stocks on this side; consequent ly, even if the trade wanted to take ad- vantage of the rise to sell, there Is no real opportunity and the recollection of the Northern Pacific deal of a year ago, prevents operators from yielding to the temptation of dealing in American stock which they cannot instantly produce when it is needed. Wall street is thus left in unchallenged control of any move- ment it chooses to inaugurate.
 Other sections of the Stock Exchange displayed little interest. The dealings in home rails. home funds and industrial shares were limited.

ENORMOUS EXPORT
 OF FARM PRODUCTS During 1901 Foreign Countries Bought S952,OOO,0 Worth BIG EXCESS OVER IMPORTS Various Products of Agriculture Re- ceived from Foreign Sources in
 1901 Had an Aggregate
 Value of sss2, 100000.
BIG EXCESS OVER IMPORTS

Washington. April 6.-The Department of Agriculture has issued a statement of the foreign trade of the United States in agricultural products. It shows that during the fiscal year, 1901, foreign coun- tries purchased American farm products to the value of S952. .OOO GOO, representing the largest agricultural exports in our history. Compared with the record for 1900 they show an increase of over s1O0,- OO0.OoO
 Our agricultural imports on the other hand, disclose considerable falling off when contrasted with the trade of the year preceding.
 The various products of agriculture re- ceived from foreign sources during 1901 had an aggregate value of only 1892, 900, ,OO0 or s2S,OoOOOO less than in 1900.
 Excess of $56o 100000
 In comparison with the value of our agricultural imports, our agricultural ex- ports shows the exceptionally large ex- cess of $56O,OO0OO0.
 It is further shown that owing to the fact that our imports and export trade with Hawaii and Porto Rico was not included. as previously in the foreign commerce returns of the United States for 1901, a comparison of the statistics for that year and the year preceding is not altogether satisfactory and that to make an accurate comparison of our total agricultural imports and exports for 1901 and the year before, the 1901 figures 0f trade with Hawaii ana Porto Rico but complete statistics as to the value of the products of agriculture exchanged in that trade during 1901 were not to be had. In 19Ul our agricultural imports from Hawaii and Porto Rico were valued at about $24 900, ,OOO and our agricultural exports to those islands at about s5,O0G, UvJ.
 Leading Items.
 The leading items among our agricultur- al imports for 1901 were sugar. coffee, hides and skins, silk, vegetable fibers, fruits and nuts, tobacco, wool, tea, wines, cocoa, vegetable oils, distilled spirits, seeds, vegetables and spices. the com bined value of these items amounting to about $35S, 100000.
 During 1901 for the first time in sev eral years our exports of cotton exceeded in value our exports of breadstuffs. After cotton and breadstuffs, which held the first and second places in our agricul- tural export trade, meat products form ed the largest item formerly. Exports of leading importance as named in the order of their value were live animals, tobacco, vegetable oils. oil cake and oil cake meal, fruits and nuts. dairy pro- ducts and seeds. These ten items com prised in value nearly 97 per cent of our total shipments of the products for 1901

 Buyers were not disposed to follow the upward movement while producers were unable to offer any concessions There was a continued demand from India and some sales to China. but the situation was unsatisfactory. There was also some inquiry for bleaching and printing cloths, but at prices generally below the current demand

BERLIN BoERSE.
All Departments During the WeeI
 Exhibited Stagnaton.

Berlin, April 6.-The phenom enal sue cess of the Russian loan has not infiu- enced the Boerse and all departments during the last week exhibited stagna- tion bordering on lethargy. The hopes of those who looked for an improvement in business with the new quarter have been sharply disappointed. The unfav- orable situation of the coal trade con- tinues to grow and in Westphalia num- erous further discharges of men are heard of through labor troubles. The shares of all banks fell several points during the week. Foreign rentes showed a sporadic activity; Mexicans were very firm and Chinese improved upon the pay ment of an installment of the indemn- ity. The attempts to bull Canadian Paci- fic shares failed Transvaal railway cer- tificates were bought considerably for London account.
 The shares of the North German-Lloyd Steamship Company and the Hamburg American Steam Packet Company weak ened during the week, the increases in the capital of these com panies being un- popular.
 Much attention was given to the plans of the North German-Lloyd company to secure coal mine to furnish its own coal supply. The money market has grown easier. The private rate of discount stood all last week at 1% per cent. Call money reached 3h per cent. Greater ease of the money market is expected. The payment of the Russian loan will scarcely change the situation as this money will remain in the Berlin bank for the present
