This phase OF the situation created

to take up the suggestions of help

BANK OF ENGLAND
RAISES ITS RATE
After Prolonged Discussion Directors
Decided to Make II One Half Per
Cent More.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Oct. 2.--After a prolonged
discussion, the directors Of the Bank
Of England today decided to raise the
bank rate from 1-2 to 5 per cent as
a precautionary measure 10 protect the
banks reserve, which had been de-
pleted by over $10,oo0,0o0 by exports to
Egypt. The weekly consjgnments of
gold from South Africa have been abb
sorbed by the continent, where the
scramble for gold continues.
The discount market scarcely ex-
pected the advance today in view of
firmer New York exchange but it was
recognized that some protective
would be necessary in the
near future in order to enable the
Bank of England to get the gold ar
irving from South Africa and build up
it's reserve which has fallen much be-
low that Of last year.
The h igher rate, it is expected, will
serve as a warning to other quarters
to check their prospective gold de-
mands.

cost of purchasing the site and build
In gthe float shed: that the street
shows this year did not break even

and that the failure to make money

pied the carnival He said he favored
the carnival because it keeps Pensaco-
lians at home; because if there is no
carnival in this city citizens will go
to New Orleans or Mobile, where they
would do much purchasing during
their stay. AS an advertising propo-
sition. he said, it is a good one on
account of large banners which are
displayed across the streets in many
OF the big cities announcing the fact
that Pensacola, New Orleans and Mo-
bile would hold carnival. The Car

does not attempt to regulate the acts
OF people in the streets during carni-
val times, but devotes it's time to put
ting on a good, clean show. He ia
vored DIR. Kennedy's suggestion, as
he believed it would be impossible to
raise $500 before the time of holding
the next carnival He said that 1t is
up to the citizens to get together and
pay the debts of the association. TO
raise the $4,000 TO pay the debt of the

entertainments be given or the Car

tions to pay Theo. Weber s4ss due Tor

down hard last election and gave hi-a
only 100000 votes because they did
not like the idea cf Canadian reci-
