New York, March 5.-The advance in the Bank of England's discount rate from to per cent today had been expected in Wall street, since the New York federal reserve bank last week marked lip its rediscount figure from to 3l5 per cent. The changes are expected to aid in the restoration of sterling to par since they actually increase the differential between the London and New York bank rates from 1 to F per cent, and probably will influence the re- tcntion of American balances in London.

DISCOUNT RATE
 UP TO 5 PER CENT
Bank Of England Announces
 Increase Today
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 London. March 5,-The discount rate Of the Bank of England was raised today to i've per cent.
 The raising of the bank rate is only confirmation of the banks action of last Friday. when 1t raised It's loan charges, following the ad- vance of tho rediscount rate by the Federal Reserve bank of New York. It indicates, however, that New York is the world dictator for the time being in monetary matters, and that the arrangements between Montague Norman. governor of the Bank of England, and the Federal Reserve authorities now are working effectively.
 While trade circles deplore the higher bank rate as a handicap in financing trade just when a turn for the better is visible, 1t is considered by financial interests a better policy to stabilize exchange by a higher bank rate and save the country many millions of dollars in the course of payment of interest on the British debt to America.
 Only a small adjustment of mar ket rates was necessary today be- cause of the readjustment made last Friday, but the other banks will raise the interest on deposits from two per cent to three per cent.
 Fears of the transfer of American balances to New York were allayed by the the adjustment of the money rate on both sides of the Atlantic, and provided the exchange rate re- mains comparatively stable 1t Is considered there will be no necessity of further action by the central in- stitution here or by the federal au- thorities in the United States. The raise in the rate had little effect on the stock exchange this forenoon, the prospect of higher rate having been discounted during the past few days.

Washington, March 5.-The in crease in rediscount rate by the Bank of England had been awaited by treasury officials here for several days, the recent trend in commer- cial rates in London together with the Increase two weeks ago in the rediscount rate by the New York re- serve bank having forecast the re" vision.
 It was expected here also that the rate raise in London would have a favorable effect on the British ef- fort to restore the gold basis in that country and might be reflected in ex- change rates in the near future. Treasury officials declined, however, to predict whether the change in exchange quotations of the pound sterling would be important.
 The New York rate increase was from three to three and one-half per cent. At the time that increase was approved by the federal reserve board the belief prevailed here that the bank of" England would counter with an increase In it's rate, but those in touch with the situation Sthought the London increase would be only enough to offset the rise in New York. By raising the rate from four to five or one full percentage point, London has placed one and one-half per cent between the rates in the two money centers.
