BANK OF ENGLAND RATE HIGHER
This Action Caused by the Decreased


Gold Reserve
LONDON, Jan. 14.-The rate of discount of
the Bank of England was raised today from 21a
to per cent. This is the first change since
May 2S of last year.
The increase in the rate generally antici-
pated and was due to the small gold reserve,
which last week stood below S100 600, 900, being
further depleted today by So. 100000 by with
drawals during the last few days for shipment
to South America.
Since these Withdrawals an unexpected influx
of gold from the country raised the reserves as
shown in todays bank return to little above
$lo5, 600. But against the general drain
only small amounts have been coming from
Egypt and for many months the bank has been
unable to obtain the weekly supplies arriving
from the mines, as France has been persistent
buyer Of the metal presumably in preparation
for the new Russian loan. With the banks re-
serve at such low ebb, the high rate is neces-
sary to attract gold imports as well as check
continual demands

Deciduous and citrus Fruits

The situation in fresh fruits remained exactly
the same the preceding days OF the week,
business being of very small proportions, with
what few buyers were around taking barely
enough to tide them over the day There have
been oranges received for several days, but
there is enough of that fruit hand to supply
the market for a week, even under the most
favorable circumstances, and the general feeling
is one Of easiness. weakness at shipping points
being reflected here. Tangerines are doing better
on decreased supplies. and seedless grape fruit
is firmly held, though sales Of both are slow.

Potatoes, Onions and Vegetables

Receipts of garden vegetables from Los Ange-

demand was likewise. prices showed no improve

early train, and there string beans
received. offerings of that description consisting
of few odd sacks that were held over from
the preceding day. Sales of everything were so
slow that dealers made attempt to advance
prices, being content to sell what they could at
the previously quoted rates. Mushrooms sold at
higher range, the receipts being small.
Trade in potatoes was restricted by the late
arrival of the river boats, but the market was
very firm nevertheless. with receivers holding out
for high prices. Several cars of Oregon potatoes
and onions were received, and prices for both
were higher. The latter sold up to $1.90 a
