NO EFFECT FROM ENGLAND
Higher Price Charged from Now On
by Bank OF England for Final. Ae-
cOmmOdati0n. Not Due 10 the In
stitutiOn'x Surplus Reserve in the
Past, but by Fear of the Future.

New York. March 1.-THE advance IN
the Bank of Englands discount rate to-
day was SO thoroughly anticipated that
It caused no commotion in the financial
markets. 1t was not, perhaps, generally
expected that the rate would be adj
vanced, as it was. from to per cent,
but sentiment, If anything, seemed to be
favorably impressed by the fact that,
as the directors of the bank had made
so large an advance. the fears were re-
moved for a considerable time to come
OF any further elevation.
The truth was, so far as affairs here
were concerned, that at the close Of
business last night q comparatively large
fall had taken place within a short space
of time in the average price of both the
railway and industrial shares. This is
TO a great extent discounted by the force
OF such an unfavorabie development as
that comprised to-day in the action taken
by the directors OF the Bank of England.
Whether the frmness OF the stock mar
ket to-day can be regarded as an indi-
cation that the path for sustained rallies
in values is now open is. however, an
other question.
Bank of England'S status.
The higher price to be charged from
now on by the Bank of England FOL
final accommodation was brought about
not by any great depletion OF the bank:
surplus reserve in the immediate past
but by fears that such q depletion may
occur in the near future. The banks

matters had not been so unpleasant il

OF the bank would have been inclined to

Run Distance Of Six Miles, Baggage
Clerk Has His Hat Shot Off

st Louis. Jan. 22-With more than
O hundred deputy sheriffs, constables
and special service men In pursuit, 1t
is believed that the four men who
held up Missouri Pacific train No
last night near Eureka, 80 miles
from this city. will be run to earth
today. Bloodhounds were put on the
trail today. the dogs being brought
from Jefferson City.
The safe in the express car resisted
all tho efforts of the robbers to open
II with jimmieS and crowbars, and
they did not attempt to use an ex-
ploslve.
Two Of tho bandits boarded the
train, due In st Louis at 10. 40 o'clock
from Kansas City, at Pacific, nine
miles west OF Eureka. at 1915 o'clock.
The other two tagged the train a
mile east OF Eureka In q lone ly spot
with red lanterns.
As the train slowed down. the two
on board climbed over the tender
and covered the engineer and fire
man.
Tho engine, mail coach, and COM
bination baggage and express cara

senger and mail clerks had been or
dered from their cars.

hesltated about leaving his car. and
a bullet carried away his hat and
lock of hair.
With one OF the robbers at the
throttle. the engine and two cars ran
TO Castlewood. six miles distant,
where the four took their time about
riflIng the mall.
The water was let out OF the boil
er and the engineer and fireman were
ordered TO walk cast for frfteen min
utes under threat OF instant death.
The quartetto then disappeared into
the woods.
The stranded passenger coaches.
three in number, lay on the main
line until o'clock this morning,
when they and the engine. tender.
baggage and mail cars were brought
into st. Louis by a freight train.

the highwaymen.
w W. DlNou, IohlolllCc Inspector Ill
charge at st Louis, announced this
morning that he would offer a reward
of $1,000 each for the capture OF the
robbers. He had just returned from
the scene of the robbery where five
OF his assistants were working
He believes the loot of the robbers
was small So far as he can tell now,
only sixteen registered packages
were taken. Three big registered
pouches were overlooked by the ban
dts.
The bloodhounds, as soon as they
were put on the trail, followed it
east from the scene OF the robbery to
st. Louis county, and
thence along the Manchester road to.

belief that the robbers came here and
the local police have been ordered TO
join in the search.
