Per Cent.

London, April 1.-THE Bank OF Eng
land rate, as was generally anticipated,
was reduced. today, to Al per cent cents
after the retention of the per cent.
rate for the longest period in hall
century.
The beginning of the Balkan war. ~
October, last, when the financial strain
on the continent of Europe was acute
necessitated 5 per cent. rate. but the
recent improvement in monetary conoi-
lions abroad which allowed the Bank OF
England to absorb the weekly arrivals
of gold and the amelioration in the Bal
kan situation with improving prospects
of peace. have enabled the directors to
make relaxation of per cent from
the abnormal rate of per cent.
This reduction is expected to be fol-
lowed by further diminution as soon as
peace between Turkey and the Balkan
Allies has been signed and money which
is being boarded in all parts of the Euro
pean continent comes more freely into
circulation.
