Bank Change to Check
New York Withdrawals

TIE change in the discount rate OF
the Bank of England yesterday was the
frst since August 8, 1914. when 1t was
reduced from 6 TO per cent. previous
70 that. on July 30, 1914 the rate had
been advanced from 70 per cent, ana
the following day. when the German
ultimatum was delivered to Russia de-
harding a cessation of mobilization
activities the bank rate was suddenly
Increased TO 8 per cent. On August l.
on the declaration OF war on kuSsla
by Germany, the rate went TO lo per
cent. Within a week it had gone BACK
10 6 per cent, and soon after to D.
Bankers here saw in the higher rate
q direct reflection of the frmer ten
dencv of the local money market. Rates
here have risen sharply since early
Jnne and the call rate one day this
week went to per cent, due to the
increased demands of business and the
unprecedented requirements OF the nall
yearly settlement period. Moreover;
tho collection of the income tax adced
20 the strain on the market here.
The result of the recent develop
ments on this side has been 70 induce
American bankers who have been car

there TO withdraw their funds in favor

BANK OF ENGLAND
INCREASES RATE
Raises Discounts to 6 Per
Cent to Meet Higher
Money Here.

London, July 13.-Tho rate OF dis
count Of the Bank Of England was
raised from 8 to Q per cent to-day.
The authorities have evidently taken
a long view of the New York money
outlook and imposed the higher bank
rate in fear Of further stringency.
Money and discount rates here were
adjusted to the higher level, although
three months bills at 5s4 per cent were
nominal, awaiting Treasury bill quota
tions tomorrow. Interest on Treasury
deposits was raised to 4 per cent.
The advance in the bank rate came
as no surprise to the money market,
which realized the necessity of watch
ing New York carefully, and the rise
here is purely precautionary meas
ure to protect exchange and retain
balances which would otherwise seek
employment in New York.
The bank rate had been undisturbed
since il was reduced TO five per cent
in August, 1914, and huge financial
operations FOR this country as well as
for the Allies have been transacted on
that basis.
With America doing a good deal OF
financing which would ordinarily be
done here, besides finding money for
its own enormous traue expansion,
money is in greater demand, especially
as the coming crops need financing,
and the authorities here found IT neces-
sary to raise the value of money TO
well over that in New York.
The higher rate causes a good deal
of disturbance in trade and money
circles. necessitates higher deposit
rates, market discounts and probably
Treasury bills, which mean increased
cost of financing the war. At the same
time the six per cent bank rate makes
London the dearest centre and ex-
changes probably will move in favor Of
this country.
The stock market largely discounted
tho higher minimum yesterday with .
general setback In the gilt edged sec
ton, but consols and other low yield
ing securities eased further early to-
day.
Stocks were dull and easier on the
bank rate. Most departments recorded
moderate declines and rubber stocks
were additionally affected by weakness
in the commodity. Consols, after many
fluctuations, closed half a point down,
while shipping and oil shares were
steady. In the American section Can
adian Pacific was weak and the other
issues were dull at about the opening
level.
Money loaned at Az per cent Dis
count rates-Short and three months
bills 5a4 per cent. Gold premium at
Lisbon, $500.
The Bank of England to-day re-
leased $4,000 in sovereigns TO Egypt.
Paris, July 13.-Prices were steady
on the Bourse to-day. Three per cent
rentes were quoted ca francs 40 CEN
times for cash.
Five per cent loan, 80 francs and 30
centimes.
The Bourse will be closed tomorrow,
the national holiday, and Saturday.

MARKS Shining Again.

Exchange on Berlin had another one
Of It's periodical declines yesterday,
and four marks, worth in normal tunes
around 95 cents in American FUNDS,
brought only 72ts cents in the local
foreign remittance market Inc inter
nittent uns and downs of German eX-
change IN recent months have been
something Of a mystery TO the eX-
change men. Only few weeks ago
marks, after falling 20 below " cents
for four, recovered 70 78, but lately
have been slipping again. Early this
week the news Of the safe arrival OF
the German submarine Deutschland
after IT'S voyage across the ocean sent
marks up for a time. but the advance
was apparently due 20 sentimental rea
sons and consequently did not hold.
Most traders in exchange continue
bearish on the outlook for marks, al
though they expect 20 see them rally
as quickly as any other form Of eX-
change when the war ends.
