NEW YORK, October 31.-The fol-

portant corporation news prepared by
Standard Statistics Co. Inc, New York,
for the Associated Press:

The announcement from London that
the Bank of England had reduced its
rediscount rate from 615 to 6 per cent
was a complete surprise, as rate had
been increased from So to 6la per cent
only five weeks ago. The change in
English rate gives color to the report
that the New York Federal Reserve
Bank will reduce its rate at tcday's
meeting from to per cent, the level
prevailing at the other reserve banks.
The outstanding corporate develop
mentS were the announcements by nu-
mercus companies of the cancellation
or extension of rights and the 'declara-
ton of extra dividends by several rep
reSentative concerns. The withdrawal
of offering of rights by Cities Service
Co. 10 additional stock at $45 was the
most prominent example of its kind,
while Bangor & Aroostook, Case
Threshing and Allis Chalmers permitted
extensions. companies IHdklilS SPcSAdA
cash distributions included American
Tobacco, Bon Ami, National Supply
and New Jersey Zinc, while F. 81 w.

was the passing of the Tobacco Prod

siderably lower, being STA 1885, 38.6l.
Total bank clearings in the National
Capital for the first 10 months of the
present year stand at $l,245,054, 1861 .05,
against the lower figure in the CORE
spending period last year of $l,183, 037,-
94486.
The substantial gain in the number
of checks passing through the local
clearing house indicates that business
so far this year has been well ahead
of last year The gain in clearings IN
october. however, may or may not in
dictate an advance in business condi-
tions. A factor that must be taken into
consideration this month is the Wall
Street panic. This set people every
where to making out countless num-
Der of checks to cover margins or buy
stocks at the lower levels.
Below is given comparison of local
bank clearings for the first 10 months
of 1929 and the corresponding period
in 1909.

The race was repetition of the Brook

versed the running over Light Carbine,
which trimmed him last week.
Ironsides and Sepoy jumped on to . fast
lead and attempted to race each other
into defeat. They succeeded. and when
the real test came in the stretch they
both gave way. Light Carbine slipped
through on the inside on the turn and
ran into the lead, but in the final fur
long Maiben let Diavolo run, and the
big horse simply breezed away to win by
a length and half going away. Light

trained thoroughbred horse, General,
set out this morning to beat his oppo-

end of the first hour had covered 10

maintained his pace for almost another
10 miles, but was forced to drop out on
the nineteenth lap of the mile track
with strained muscle.
He was treated for some time by two
Indian trainers, and finally re-entered
the race after the horse had covered
20 miles and was 10 miles ahead of him.
The injured leg, however, was too much

race at the end of the twentieth mile.
The horse then had covered 80 miles.
