Furope's War Debt.

"Wll Europe Repudiate Her war

his belief NAV easily be inferred
Speaking Of what the result OF repuula,,
ton would probably be upon the woTlo

SAYS: 1T is to be borne in nina thaI

ductive or unproductive things that

In this view of the matter default

LONGACRE co. GOES
AHEAD WITH PLANS
Following Decision Arranges to
Sell Electric Light and
Power Here.

Interests identified with the defend
ants in the suit brought by the minor
ity stockholders Of the Manhattan
Transit Company against the lntercity
Power Company, Harvey Fisk e. Sons,
A. b. Leach & Co. and certain direc-
tors of the Manhattan Transit Com
pany 10 set aside a contract by which
the latter concern undertook TO dis
pose of Longacre Electric Light and
Power Company stock, said yesterday
that the decision Of Judge Guy, handed
down on Monday, opens the way to &C
tive competition in the electric light
and power field in New York City.
Judge Guy held that the charges
that the contract in litigation was un-
fair to the Manhattan Transit Com
pany were unfounded. lie also exoner-
ated the defendants, Pliny Fisk, A. B..
Leach & Co. and others. from the
charges of bad faith which had been
brought against them.
The decision. unless reversed by a
higher court, will finally establish the
status of the enterprise undertaken by
Harvey Fiske g. Sons and A. b. Leach
& Co., and removes the last legal OBJ
stacle in the way Of the development
and financing of the Longacre Electric
Light and Power Company, as an &C
tive operating electric light and power
company in this city.
Already plans are under consider
alton for the establishment OF a gener-
ating plant in the Jersey meadows,
from which it is intended that the cur
rent will be brought through the Hud-
son tubes, in which the banking house
of Harvey Fisk & Sons has long been
financially interested.

APPROVE INTER-MET PLAN
Holders Committee Seeking
Proxies for It's Adoption.

The committee formed to represent
holders of lnterborough Metropolitan
common stock voting trust certificates
in addition to Harry Bronner of Hall
garten & Co., II was announced yes
terday, consists Of Willard V. King,
president of the Columbia Trust Com
pany; Daniel +. Pomeroy, vice-presi-
dent Of the Bankers Trust Company,
and Henry r. Winthrop, OF Harris
Winthrop & Co.
In a circular issued by the commit
tee il is stated that after having cx-
amined the financial condition OF the
company and the existing status OF the
common stockholders the committee
has no hesitation in recommending the
approval Of the proposed readjustment
plan. The circular points out that the
present nominal capital of the Inter
borough metropolitan Company is APP
proximately $4,000 900, but under the
proposed capital readjustment the de-
clared capital will be fixed at about
s50.000.000. which is believed to be
well within the net value of the assets
of the consolidated company. The
committee says that the plan to issue
for the old common stock new stock
without par value does not in any way
alter the value of this stock. Proxies
are sought by the committee in favor
of the plan.

EXPORTS SHOW INCREASE
Total for Week, S5S,000,000
Imports Decrease.

Washington. April 27.-The foreign
trade OF the United States for the week
ended April "a showed increases in
exports Of nearly 100000, while An-
ports showed a falling of of approx
mstely SS,s0o,0OO with a decrease in
custom duties of approximately $780,
600. Exports for the week amounted
TO S5s,lS6,S29, while imports amounted
10 SS4,624,745. an excess Of exports of
S20,6ll,6s4. The custom duties collect
ed for the same period amounted to
SS,255.12l.
Taking the four weeks ended with
April "a imports totallcd sl41,524.Sl1;
custom duties, S14 1929, 1884. and exports,
S2l4, lSS,92l. The excess of exports
was S72,S46,1i0. officials of the De
psrtment of Commerce look for a
smaller trade balance for April than
for any of the preceding four months,
the smallest OF which amounted to
SlS0,976,0lS. This is due chiefly to the
increase in imports and the slight drop
in exports for the April period TO last
Saturday.

WILSON UPHOLDS
WILLIAMS COURSE
Saws Controller Did Not Exceed
Powers In Demands on Riggs
Bank Officers.

Washington, April 81. President
Wilson surprised financial Washington,
which believed that the administration
was preparing to step from under
Controller Williams in the Riggs Bank
case. by declaring to-day that in his
opinion the Controller had not ex-
ceeded his authority in making de-
mands for information on the Riggs
officials.
The President was asked II he be-
lieved that the Controller ought to
have such powers, but he refused to
commit himself, saying It was ques-
ton for Congress. He made it clear.
however. that he did not wish the
stand Of the Treasury officials to be
taken as an indication of administra-
ton policies. He said the suit was not
begun by the administration, and so
could not express any administration
policy.
Attorney General Gregory and Post
master General Burleson. both OF
whom have previously consulted with
President Wilson on the case, remained
with the President for a conference
to-day after the Cabinet meeting. The
Attorney General said he had decided
on no new steps He said Samuel
Untermyer had not yet been employed
in the case, but that he could no, say
whether he would be employed later.

WHEAT NERVOUS
ON HEAVY SELLING
Movement Inspired by Outlook
for Big Crop-Prices Down
234c at Close.

Chicago, April 27.-Excellent crop
prospects for the United States, pos
siby the best ever known, led TO heavy
selling to-day in the wheat market
here. The outcome was a nervous
close at 1}s to %. net decline. Corn
finished 4 to 1l4G q down, oats off
.1ss to 211Q2ss, and provisions the
same as last night to 7ia higher.
Wheat prices began to break almost
as soon as trading began. Strength in
quotations 1T Liverpool had only a
passing effect here just at the start, re-
ported decreases of Is to 20 per cent
in the acreage of Russia and France
not seeming to cut nearly as much fig
ure on this side of the Atlantic as APP
peared to be the case with the British
trade. On the contrary, attention
quickly centred on flattering advices
regarding he outlook for a big do
nestle yield, especially in the more i'm
portant Western states. the result OF
fine growing weather coming after rea-
sonsbly good rains.
Notable lessening OF urgency in the
export demand, whether for old or for
new crop deliveries Of wheat, tended
much TO emphasiz bearish sentiment,
country offerings of old wheat in
creased and additional quantities were
bought to come here from Kansas.
Messages from the Southwest limited
at the likelihood of.an unusually early
movement OF the new crop. In this
connection there were assertions that
the beginning of the Missouri harvest
would take place within six weeks.
Later advices, too, from Rome and the
Dardanelles were of a sort adverse to
the bulls.
Corn gradully weakened with wheat.
Besides. cash demand was relatively
slow, the weather ideal for planting,
and predictions were current that de-
lyeries on May contracts would be
large. Bears had their own way in the
oats crowd. Field reports were most
promising and terminal stocks big.
Higher values for hogs made pro-
visions firm. The bulk Of the trade
consisted CT changes from nearby OPP
tions TO those more deferred.

Conner Stocks and the Metal.

The rise in the price Of copper metal,
vbicb has carried it within a few
months from about 1919 cents pound
70 10 cents, has carried hopes parncu-
larlv high, especially since an lhlpoiIi
&c.. 49, of that rise has been scored
Within about a week. There is reel
;rr in the Street that the copper stocks
have been outdistanced by the metal
,bat the rise in the former has not
been proportionate 10 the rise IN me
latter. Little attention IS pald 10 nv
rspid increase in the production OF the
metal. The consumption is the great
thing. And so manuals are being over
hauled for evidence of how high at any
time in the last decade the several
stocks have sold, and there are great
predictions for both the metal ana the
stocks. The copper stocks are almost
the whole market for the speculative
community. They were said yesterday
10 be not very difficult to buy.

COTTON BREAKS
ON BEAR RAIDS
Up and Down Market Closes at
Net Losses of 8 to II
Points.

Cotton was nervous and unsettled
yesterday with prices breaking quite
sharply under liquidation and bear
pressure. The close was few points
up from the lowest on covering, win
the tone steady, but last prices stu
showed net losses Of to IL points.
Developments in connection with
May notices were in line with c1pec-
tations and after opening at de-
cline of 4 to 9 points prices rallied TO
within or points of Tuesdays
closing figures. II was estimated that
the notices represented about 3O,0O0
bales of the local stock, but scatter.
ing sales of May were readily ABSORBED
at the prevailing discount under July,
and it was soon evident that local
trade interests were stopping the no
tees, presumably against sales OF
later deliveries. This steadied the
market momentarly as indicated by
the early rally, but prices very quickly
weakened under Liverpool selling ac-
companied by private cables to the
effect that the British Government
had prohibited exports Of raw cotton
to all of Europe except Russia, France,
Spain and Portugal.
Brokers credited with operating for
prominent spot interests were also
sellers, and as prices worked off from
the best scattered realizing or liquid
alton became more active. At de-
cline Of from 10 to 10 points from
Tuesdays closing prices. and OF 30 to
80 points from the high records OF
last week the market met covering and
n little fresh buying, with last prices
showing rallies of some to 10 points
from the lowest.
Sentiment was somewhat unsettled
by the reports concerning Great
Britain's latest ruling with reference
TO exports from the United Kingdom,
but local people in the international
trade appeared to think that this ac-
tion would make no material difference
in the situation. Exports for the day
were small. amounting to only little
over 5000 bales, however, and the ten
dency to increase estimates of the
probable seasons total above 100000
bales has been less in evidence during
the past few days.
Clearing conditions were reported in
the Southwest, but there may have
been some buying OH the decline in
expectation that to-morrow's weekly
weather report would read unfavor-
ably both ms to conditions caused by
recent excessive rainfall in that sec
ton, and owing to continued dry
weather east of the river. Southern
spot markets as officially reported
we're unchanged 20 13 points lower and
sales were generally smaller.
Range of prices:
