REDUCES RATE OF
DISCOUNT TODAY.
Reduction From Five and One
half Per Cent to Five;
Cut Made in July

LONDON, Nov. 3.--The Bank Of
England reduced its rate of discount
to five per cent from five and one.
half per cent this morning The last
reduction in the discount rate was
made on July 81. last when it was
cut from six per cent TO five and
one-half per cent.
Reduction OF the rate OF discount
by the Bank of England follows an
announcement by the United States
Federal Reserve Board yesterday that
the discount rates of Federal Reserve
Banks in eight districts had been
cut. Fluctuations Of the rate estab-
lished by the Bank OF England have
been OF great interest in the United
States. being indications OF the H..
nancial situation in London. The re.
duction OF the discount rate on June
23 to six per cent from six and one.
half per cent was unexpected, as all
indications We're that the six and
tanned for some time.
When the world war broke out in
August 1914. the rate was advanced
to 10 per cent. the highest in the his.
tory Of the Bank Of England, that
point having been touched upon only
on two occasions. during the panics
OF 1857 and 1866. After few days,
however, 1t was reduced TO six per
cent and later to five per cent. 1t
remained at that point until about
the middle OF 1915, when il was ad.
yanced 10 six per cent but 1t was low.
cred TO five per cent in April 1917. On
Nov. 6, 1919, it went up to six per
cent. where it remained until April
10. 1920. II was advanced again 70
seven per cent. on April IS. last,
there was a reduction 70 SIX and one
