minimum discount rate from az per

This is the firsC change since April

1t was decided to raise the rate 20 8
per cent owing to the large inroads on
the banks reserve already made by
exports to Egypt for the financing of
the cotton crop and by the Argentine
Withdrawals. The governors were un-
able to offset these by fresh arrivals
from the mines, owing to the sustained
demand from Russia, which absorbed
available quantities week after week,
preventing the bank from building up

A fresh element in the situation,
however, undoubtedly helping the d.

panied by the brides sister, Mrs.

dainty little flower girls who preced-
ed the bride, were her little nieces.
Misses Laura and Lena Keller.
After the conclusion of the cere-
mony, and the usual congratulations
and good wishes had been showered
upon the happy pair, the guests were
invited to the prettily decorated din
ing room, where an elegant luncheon
was served, the menu comprising
