The anticipatdd announcement of a reduction, in
the rate of interest on the Exchequer-bills falling due in
June appeared yesterday. The existing rate is lasd, per
-day, or 2/. ss. Vsed. per annum, and henceforth it is to
be -114 d. per day, or 1/. 18s. friaid. -per annum. The me-
dium course- has, therefore, been taken between Sir Charles
Wood's theory that no reduction of any kind should' be
Made and the principle of adopting at all times the- fair
market rate. In the latter case the descent would have
been to id. per day, or 11. 10a. sd. per annum, at which the
premium would still-have been such as to insure their, circu-
lation under any conceivable change in the money market;
but, aitlfough 33,0001. of the public money has been
sacrificed by not resorting to it, and the credit of the
British Treasury is made to appear much less high than
it actually is, there is a satisfaction in finding that the loss
of double that amount, which was incurred in February, and
which was threatened to be repeated on the present occasion,
has been averted. _The lowest quotation of the June bills.
yesterday was 645.,. being considerably above what has
usually been considered the fair average premium that such
securities should be made to anaintain. At this price the
actual interest they will pay (excluding the contingency of
a further reduction at any future period) wilt he 1/.l6es 10d
per annum. . .
