Emperor Charles is i'll with bronchitis
He is suffering from fever and is hav-

the former King has no appetite and
that he is obliged to remain in bed.
Vienna Doubts Serious Illness
VIENNA, April 3 (By The Associated
Press An Allied physician has been
summoned to go to Steinamanger to
attend former Emperor Charles. There
is some inclination here to regard the
indisposition of Charles as "diplo-
matte illness, contracted in order that
the former Emperor may obtain, further
delay in leaving Steinamanger.
The postponement in the departure
Of Charles is beginning to cause irri-
tation here, as we'll ac in Prague and
Belgrade. According to dispatches from
the latter place, there are indications
hat par CT ho tok To
the departure Of Charles.
The belief prevails in some quarters
that despite his illness Charles may
start for Switzerland tonight, now
that the transportation difficulties have
been settled But this is still con-
tingent on possible developments at
Steinamanger, where it is reported
that large numbers of members of the
nobility are arriving. The little town
is crowded with Hungarian notables
in numbers never before known in its
history.
In foreign circles here it is as
pending Tuesdays meeting of Parlia
ment. Count Andrassy Is said to be
adroitly trying to save the day for
the Hapsburgs by inducing Charles to
abdicate in favor of Archduke Otto,
his -year-old son, under regency.
The difficulty of getting the former
King out of Hungary is said to be due
to differences between the various in
terests in charge of the situation. 1t
is understood that the Socialists have
firmly maintained the position that two
OF their army officers and six men
should accompany Charles in order to
continue the fiction that he is a pris
oner. The Allied officials and the Hun
garians, supported by the Austrian po-
lice, refused this as unnecessarily
complicating matters.
Certain Allied officers last night
agreed to induce their associates and
Hungarians to consent to the Socialist
plan and the Socialists yielded on the
question of the actual presence of the
escort in Charles's compartment.
1t is believed that Charles Will travel
through Bavaria, thus avoiding passing
through Styria and Tyrol, where he

that financial sentiment is very much
mixed over the outlook. On the
favorable side are further marked
Improvement in federal reserve hank

rates on commercial paper. further
progress toward more normal prices
for wheat and some other farm prod
ucts. and better reports regarding
railway trafic and the attitude Of
railway labor toward wage decreases.
On the unfavorable side are the
fresh price cutting in various COM

biles. farm implements, sugar and
steel. accounts Of the steel trade

of any early turn for the better: the
unwillingness of the Mexican govern
ment to consider revising Its onerous

consented to formal recognition; the
reduction and passing of more divi-
dends carrying the fear of still more
to come and finally the acute unset.
tlemen in the foreign exchange. In
the course of which the entire recov-
cry since last December has been
undone.
The stock market has plainly
shown that the unfavorable factors.
for the time being. were in the ascen-
dant. The relaxation in money rates
has. to be sure, removed one Of the
matters which we're causing much
concern week ago. But easy money

Sentiment in speculative circles has
become demorAlfzed by the spectacle
of continuously falling prices. in pre-
cisely the same way as 1t was in
toxicated by the predictions of un-
at the top of it's upward swing. in
October. 1919. Just as the price

tent Of trade imitation and swollen prof.

adjustment demanded by the return to
exaggerating the extent of trade depres-
sion, and giving no thought of the turn
which is bound TO come.
The rise in the federal reserve ratio

other cut before long in oficial dis
count rates. Last time the reduction
WAS from to 81. per cent; this time
it will be drop to 6 per cent. and
both in the call loan department and
in the market for commercial paper
preparations for this lower level al
ready have begun.
That the prospect Of lastingly easier
money rates has not been the stimu-
lus that it ordinarily would be to the
investment market. Is to be explained
first on the ground Of the excessive
output within the last month or so OF
new securities. and second on the
ground of the uncertainty of the new
revenue legislation. While most of
the new syndicate offerings have gone
