Bank of England Rate, 6 Per Cent.

The discount rate of the Bank of
England was raised yesterday to 6
\ per cent. the first advance in some
years. The proportion of reserve to
liabilities is down to Is n per cent.
Ration of reserve for our regional
federal reserve banks stands at 47A
per cent. being the lowest during the
history of the system.
This would seem to indicate that
the strain on the money market is
world wide, resultant from various
causes. war and the expansion and
speculative high-crest fever that has
resulted.
This is the time of year when New
York banks begin their preparations
Tor January disbursements and in
9erest payments, or rather begin to
plan for these payments. and other
adjustments incident to the end of the
year, so that money furrieS are likely
to disturb the speculative market
from time to time until these matters
are attended to.
So far no general advance in fed
eral reserve rates of discount have
taken place, although the increases
as reported in this column last Tues
day would seem to indicate that the
federal reserve board plans general
increase throughout the system.

KILL 1T.

The president may have lost a
great deal Of his former popu-
larity, but dR is in a good way
10 regain some Of it. Although
he does not specifically mention
the luxury tax" among the
things he would have congress
abolish, yet the inference of his
words sounds that way, and a
hymn of thanksgiving will go
mp from all over the country for
his happy suggestion. 1t is safe
TO say that Of all the methods
devised to fatten the treasury
of the United States against the
demands of the war, the most
obnoxious Of all is this so-called
luxury tax. The added expense
10 the taxpayer is the smallest
objection that can be urged
against it. The tax is not es-
pecially burdensome from a fl
noncial point Of view. 1t has
many inequalities and injustices
but in the main the money
raised by its operation will be
little missed by the customer
while the aggregate will make
eood-sized addition to the ma
lion s cash box.
What hurts most to the gen
oral public is the aggravation oc-
'casioned by providing small
change for every trivial pur-
chase. This is matter which
would adjust itself after while
when people get used to the in
