BANK OF ENGLAND
CUTS RATE TO 6 IL
Has Stood at Z Per Cent. for
Year-London Expects
Another Drop.

Loa-poN. April 2S.-Announcement
was made this morning by the Bank OF
England that its bank rate had been
reduced to 6is per cent. For the last
twelve months 1t has remained at 7 per
cent.
The reduction was q concession to the
traders and advocates of cheaper money.
and IL came somewhat Unexpectedly.
1t had been thought the authorities
would await decision of the coal dis
pute and the outcome of the delibera-
tions of the Allied Supreme Council on
Preparations before. making a move. The
anxiety to ease conditions for the COM
mercial community and the weight OF
favorable factors, however. influenced
the directors of the bank in their de-
cison to reduce the rate. which is ex-
pected IN financial quarters to be fol-
lowed soon by another reduction
The discount market Immediately ad-
justed its rates to coincide with the
bank rate, and bankers are considering
the advisability of lower deposit rates.
The reduction of the Bank of Eng
lands discount rate was hailed by local
bankers yesterday as evidence of relax
ing conditions of money and credit in
London and also as sign of confidence
that current labor troubles would be
settled shortly. The change was not un-
expected. The British Treasury lowered
on Wednesday the rate on its short bills
from per cent. to So per cent, which
was its second cut in six weeks. When
the banks rate of minimum discount
was Increased from to per cent on
April 10, 1920. the rate on Treasury
bills was advanced from "a to 6i2 per
cent.
A matter of particular interest now
is the possible effect which the Bank
Of England's action will have on bank
ing officials in other countries. A ratio
of 55 per cent. in cash reserves 20 ue-
posit and note liabilities reported yes
terday by the Reserve System. the high
est figure since August 80, 1918, dis
closed rapid improvement of the bank
position. Commercial paper Is being
discounted at So per cent. for the best
names. against per cent month ago,
which signifies a slackened demand for
mercantile loans. The reserve officials,
however. have not indicated that re-
duction from the present per cent rate
of rediscount for notes secured by mer-
camille bills Is contemplated.
