BANK OF ENGLAND DISCOUNT RATE
IS LOWERED TO 3l-2 PER CENT

London, June 15.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press.D-The Bank of England
Thursday lowered its discount rate to
81 per cent. a reduction of one-half
per rent from the figure established
on May ID, 1921.
The bank took Lombard street by
surprise in making the reduction. Its
action is believed to have been due to
a desire to bring the rate more in line

bank rate stood at 4 per cent.
American Effect Felt
Treasury bills were also available

the United States were easier the re-
tention of so high an official rate here
was regarded as unwarranted.
Another reason given for the change
is that the authorities want to assist
