NEW YORK, Dec 9.The reduction IN
the Bank of England official discount
rate today had a strengthening effect
on the securities markets in all the
great financial centers. The open us
count rate in London has been ap-
proximately / per cent below the bank
rate for some time, and this dlscrep-
ancy would ordinarily exclude the
Bank of England from sharing IN
banking profits. It's measures to force
up the money rate and attract gold 10

profitable share in banking business
for the time.
The reduction serves as notice
that the safeguarding measures had
been more than sufficient
The exigencies of the British budget

than was anticipated. The reduction
of the rate came in spite of additional
large Withdrawals from the bank to-
day for shipment to South America.
Halt Shown in Trade Activities
The question presents itself how far
the diminished requirements of the
London money market may be due to
halt In trade activities. The general
effect of the lowered bank rate was
cheering to financial markets and was
a prime factor in the strength of the
New York stock market
The demand which carried prices up
ward was somewhat desultory and
spotty in character. Many stocks not
usually prominent were embraced in
the movement The trunk line group
generally was strong, the differential
lines moving with the main trunk lines.
The rise I'm the Rock Island stocks and
in Wabash preferred gave a new lease
of life to rumors of a combination of
those lines in connection with the in
terest secured In Lehgh Valley by the
Rock Island controlling factors.
Amalgamated Copper and other
metal smelling industrials responded to
reports that preliminary details of the
proposed copper merger were going
forward once more. United States
Steel moved narrowly and Reading
showed constraint in its action. An
extra dividend by one of the leading
copper producers was partly RESPONSE
BILE for the strength in that group. The
closing tone was strong after reaction.
