RediscOunt Rate Cut.
The Federal Reserve Bank OF
Minneapolis has reduced its redis.
count rate to per cent, the Fed.
eral Reserve Board announced to-
day. Although not officially stated
by the board, it was assumed at
the Treasury that agricultural con-
ditiOns in the Northwest have i'm.
proved to such an extent that the
Minneapolis bank lis now. able to
follow the general trend of reds.
count rate reductions Of the banks
in other reserve districts.
The Minneapolis bank, 1t was re-
called, was compelled to stand the
bulk of the financial difficulties Of
the hanks in it's district growing
out of recent depressed agricultural
conditions. The fact that the Min
neapolis bank has been able to
come within a reasonable basis of
the levels of the rates in other
districts was gratifying to Treasury
officials, since prospects are for a
stronger and prosperous Northwest.
