EUR0PE'S MONEY MARKET
reduction of London Bank Rate
Marks an Epoch.

London, April 1S.-The reduction of
the pank rate Yesterday from ) to AZ
per cent marks the relaxation Of the
period of abnormal stringency in the
money market. due mainly 10 none
TAR! conditions on the Continent. the
hoarding of gold as a precautionary
measure in view of new war taxes and
10 the unsettled condition of European
politics, but it is also due TO good trade
and to the abnormal demands for new
capital. especially by the Dominion
governments and municipalities. which
will be made when the Balkan cloud is
quite dispersed
There will still remain. however,
other powerful factors and pro-
longed period of comparatively high
rates is not at all improbable. The
huge war taxes in Germany and the
impending big French loan will both
tend 10 divert money. at any rate
temporarily. from its usual courses,
and the loans which Turkey and the
Balkan states will have to raise 70 pay
their war bills will also he disturbing
factors. Then. too. the widening Of the
investment market and the ever grow
ing opportunities for the employment
Of capital is causing higher level for
money TO be established in all drec-
tons.
AS regards the immediate future,
however. il is fully expected that the
AZ per cent rate now in force is mere
ly transitory and that there will be
further reduction TO per cent within
the next few weeks.

for some months past at different times

eulated Usually these rumors have been
oositivelv denied. but the fact remains
rhat foreign countries would provide an
opening for the extension OF American
,obacco business. Notwithstanding the
strong concerns already in that field.
Activity Of Oil Companies.
Since the segregation of the Standard
oil Company more activity has been
shown among the subsidiaries than when
these organizations were all under one
control An evidence of this is in the
movements of the Prairie oil and Gas
Company. which occupies so much OF the
central part of the continent. In 1912 the
COMPANY drew on its stocks every month
except in December TO meet deliveries,
but It has gradually increased its sup
plies Of crude oil TO almost 100000 bar
rsls. and for the first quarter of 1913 has
brought forth a record production. The
company has acquired new producing
companies including the High Grade Oil
COMPANY which was purchased at price
of about 100000 Several other concerns
much smaller have also been purchased.
Probably the incentive for this special &C
tivity is found in the Royal Dutch-Shel
combine. which has been very busy recent
w opening UP operations in territory for
merly the exclusive field of the Standard
company. The Royal. Dutch and Smell
interests are reported 10 have been pur-
chasers Of several properties in the Okla

WIFE MURDERER
MUST Go 10 ITALY

Washington, June l0.-The Unit
ed States supreme court today af-
firmed the decision Of New Jersey
courts in dismissing the application
Of Porter Charlton, who killed his
wife, formerly Mary Scott-Castle OF
San Francisco, for writ of habeas
corpus to prevent his extradition to
Italy TO stand trial.
The decision came three years to
day after Mrs. Charlton's body was
found in a trunk in Lake Como,
Italy.
Charlton's father is Paul Charl-
ton, an intimate friend of Former
President Taft.
The trunk containing Mrs. Charl-
tons body was found floating on, the
waters. She had been beaten into
Inconsistencies, phrust into the
trunk and thrown into the water to
drown. Her death came three
months after her marriage to Charl-
ton. Mrs. Charlton was Mary Helen
Scott. daughter OF II. II. Scott OF
San Francisco. She was one of the
bellies of the Golden Gate city and
prominent in society. In 1897 she
became the wife OF Neville Castle, an
attorney. He lost his fortune in lit
Iigation and his wife went on the
stage in a play called THE Princess
and the Butterfly" which opened al
stockton. Cal. Later she was di-
vorced from Castle who went to
Alaska, where he was appointed
United States district attorney.
Charlton met Mrs Castle in New
York and they were married after
brief courtship. The couple left al
