BANK RATE -FOUR PER CENT,


NEW YORK. July sS-The Times
London financial correspondent cables;
The Chinese war scare has driven the
bank rate up 10 four per cent, not the
actual position OF the market There
fore for reasons already explained
mainly expenditure and borrowed mon
ey by the government--tlOatlng bali
ances have been cheap and they re.
main cheap, But the bank has lost
eg,00OOoO In gold since the end ot May.
when Il lowered the rate from four
to three and half per cent, and the
prospect is that good deal will be
lost between now and November, There
is the rub.
Perhaps by taking steps SO early Il
may be that the strain put upon US In
the end OF last year will not be repeat
ed. At least this seems TO be certain
that four per cent viii In due course
be followed by five per cent, With
that e9,0OO,COO OF treasury bills to be
offered this week and the 100000 Dor.
rowed from the bank. the government
floating debt win be up to about elS,-
OOO,OOl. and to fund this debt and pay
the expenses OF the war 10 date at
least another $4,000 OF "khakI' stock
must be created. but we have no infor-
nation about what the government dis
bursements may be thus far. and there
is an inclination to postpone telling the
truth as long as possible. SO much
floating debt Is not good for the mar
ket aud increases It's embarrassments,
For the moment. discount has risen
close to four per cent, but the supply
OF mercantile bills is quite moderate
and short credits remain cheap. Mon
ey for the week can still be had ut
3 per cent. Unless. therefore, the Bank
OF England pulls In with one hand what
II Is obliged to pay out with the other,
the four per cent rate cannot be KEEP,
effective. and. even II Il were. Il will
not. The utmost We can hope for Is
that it may prevent the stock OF the
bank from being further trenched upon,
The gold you send does not come
here. and experts think Il would not
come to any extent, even were discount
FIVE per cent
Obviously there can be no large stock
exchange business in present clrcum-
stances. The prevailing heat would
curtail operations. however. enthuslas-
tic the public may be to gamble or
invest. but apart altogether from that,
there is no disposition to buy nor Is
tho public willing to subscribe for new
issues.
These are being poured out with q
geyser-like velocity generated by long
abstention. Huge combinations like
the eight million pound cement corpor-
alton. considerable loans like the gov
ernment's local loans issue and Swedish
and Queensland loans are none OF them
being taken. The local loans Issue has
fallen to discount and was barely COW
cred. The underwriters had TO take
30 per cent Of the Queensland loan and
at least 20 per cent OF the Swedish
