RATES ARE BEING CUT.
London Hotels Not Having the Rush
They Expected.

LONDON, May 2I.-The London hotels
are in a panic over the coronation pros
poets. They counted on rich harvest
and most of them doubled or trebled their
rates. They refused also to let rooms
for less than a week or fortnight. Several
large hotels were specially built for the
occasion. and all have been depending
upon rush of wealthy Americans.
AT the present time. however. ii would
appear that they have overreached them
selves. as the result of their enterprise
has only been to frighten people away.
While Lo!.don has seldom more strangers
within its gates than now. the great
majority of them are colcnials and pro-
vincials. There are thousands of Cana
dians and Australians, but the Amerita an
contingent is not larger than at the same
season in an ordinary year
Already the hotels have beeun to lower
their rates. according to published prices
and are doing everything possible to re
move the impression that it Is difficult to
secure accommodations. Some of the
hotels seem even less full than as usual
and visitors are likely to find plenty of
rooms at reasonable rates.

Officials here declare that the change

The wooden cloth, II is added. is softer
