The sudden development of activity and
strength in the principal market leaders
was really the feature of the day. IN TO
Yesterday afternoon the volume of trad
ing in the principal speculative mediums
was comparatively light and the daily
ranges insignificant in comparison with
what might have been expected consider
ing the Importance of the movement taken
as "A whole. Thus on Wednesday trans
actions In Steel common aggregated only
ABOUT one-eighth of the total for the whole
list, an unusually small proportion in an
active market Yesterday the activity in
the leading speculative mediums increased
in marked degree and the price ranges
also enlarged. But in neither case did
either OF these features approach the cir
cumstanccs of the swift uprush from the
June low. when Steel common for three
days in succession monopolizcd the trad
ing to such an extent that for three days
In succession sales in 1T made up more
than one-quarter OF the total. and the

reported "a big increase In the supply and
an almost correspondingly big increase IN

ness of Reading the old rumor that the
Lake Shore and Baltimore and Ohio
roads were marketing their stock cropped
up. 1t was also suggested that tho re-

tant accumulation. But whatever the real

EUROPEAN BANK RATES DROP.
General Reduction in AIT Money
Centres Except Paris.

Owing to the improved monetary sit
uation In Europe, which was due to the
probably complete settlement OF the
Balkan difficulties. the collapse Of the
South African labor troubles and the
ants In interior Europe of late there was
an almost wholesale reduction Of bank
rates yesterday.
The Bank of England reduced its mini
mum rate of discount from VA per cent
TO 4 per cent. Two weeks ago 1t reduced
It's rate from per cent. to Il per cent
This IL the first time since the summer OF
1912 that this institution has had SO low

age proportion Of reserves to liabilities 10
now the strongest that II has been for
some time. namely 57.40 per cent, as COM
pared with 1880 per cent last year at
this time.
The reduction in the discount rate has
been foreseen for some time and has been
discounted In the stock market. An in
creased demand for the investment issues
resulted and a riso In consols IL convinc-
ing Of the improved monetary situation.
The Imperial Bank OF Germany reduced
its rate from per cent to Ala per cent,
bringing II below all other levels since the
summer of 1912. The gold reserve OF this
institution Ut the present time is close TO
its high record The Bank OF Germany s
reduction In it's rate gives rise to a belief
that a lowering of the rate by the Bank
OF France will follow shortly. 1t is also
considered not unlikely that the Bank OF
England may make another reduction.
Other bank rate reductions were made
as follows; The Bank OF Belgium from
s per cent. TO "A per cent. the bank of
Sweden from ~ per cent. to per cent. ;
the Bank OF Denmark from per cent
