Bank of England
Reduces Discount
Rate to 6M p. C..
Drop From z PC. Not Unex-

Had Looked for Delay;

LONDON, April 2S.-Announcement
wGs made by the Bank Of England to-
day that the bank rate had been re
duced to 61h per cent. For the last
twelve months it has remained at
per cent.
The reduction was a concession to
traders and advocates of cheaper
money, and it came somewhat unex-
pectedly at this time. 1t had been
thought the authorities would await

outcome o. the deliberations of the
The anxiety to ease conditions for the
commercial community and the weight
of favorable factors, however, inhu-
enced the directors of the bank in
their decision to reduce the rate, which
is expected in financial quarters to be
followed by another reduction in the
near future.
The discount market Immediately
adjusted its rates to coincide with the
bank rate, while bankers are consider
ing the ACCESSIBILITY Of lower deposit
rates.
Private cable advices received in
Wall Street banking circles of late
had indicated that the Bank Of Eng
lands rate would likely be reduced
and the announcement yesterday that
such action had finally been taken oc-
caSioned little surprise.
The banking view was that the de-
velopment reflected the stagnation in
British commercial and speculative en-
terprises and 1t was believed that tho

town banking institutions asserted that
the Federal Reserve Bank rediscount
rates should follow the trend in Lon
don with reduction, holding that
such step is warranted by the slack
ening of industry in the United States
and the liquidation Of credit as a re-
suit of the business slump. Rumors
were afloat in Wall Street during the
day that the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York would probably announce
to-day reduction from it's present T
per cent discount rate, but officials of
the local bank would not comment on
the reports.
