BRITISH BANK RATE
is CUT TO 2 PER CENT
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, June 30-The Bank OF
England today reduced its discount rate
from 215 to per cent.
The bank rate was reduced on May
IL from to 212 per cent. On April 2l
the rate was lowered from 3l2 to per
cent
The reduction on May - was greeted
with cheers in the Stock Exchange, and
gains were Immediately reported on
securities of good yield.
The bank rate stood at 6 per cent
from the time Great Britain went of
the gold standard last Fall until Feb
ruary 18. when a series of cuts was
started which in little more than four
months has brought the rate down
per cent.
Today's reduction brings the rate to
the lowest point since 1897, when 1t
once before reached 2 per cent. The
recent reduction of the Federal Reserve
Bank rate at New York and the con-
tinued fall of discount rates, as well as
slack trade and scarcity of bills in the
money market, were chiefly responsible
for todayS move.
1t also is the continuation OF cam
paign for cheap money begun with the
main object of diverting the flow OF
foreign moneys from short-term oonos
into long-dated stocks in order to help
big conversion schemes and effect
considerable saving on interest pay
ments.

STEEL PRODUCTION
DECREASES FURTHER
Trade Journal Reports Output for
Week at Is Per Cent of
Capacity.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, June 30. - Further
shrinkage in ingot output and addi-
tional declines in steel scrap prices have
given added emphasis t. the negative
features that have characterized the
iron and steel market in recent weeks,
said Iron Age today.
Raw steel production has receded
from national average Of l6 per cent
a week ago to Is per cent and will fall
to still lower levels before the close of
the week.
independence day shutdowns will be
longer and more general than usual.
Many steel plants are scheduled to stop
operations on Thursday and, though
some Of them will resume Immediately
after the holiday. others viii not start
up again until the middle of July, while
one large independent will remain in
active during the entire month.
Holiday suspensions will also be the
rule for numerous steel-consuming
plants, although it is doubtful whether
consumption has ,receded as sharply as
production. Steel shipments of late
have been running heavier than ingot
output, since producers have preferred
to clean up stocks of cold metal rather
than start up furnaces for short runs.
While it is true that nearly all out
lets, including the automobile industry
and public construction, seem to be
closing up, the current level of demand
is so exceedingly low that for that rea-
son alone a rebound is looked for.
But such a pickup will not be imme-
diate. in the opinion of the trade.
While there will naturally be some re-
covery in output after the Fourth of
July shutdown, no real upturn is be-
lieved possible before September at the
earliest"

STOCKHOLDERS SEEK
COMPANY REPORTS
Investors Are Writing to Corpora
tion Heads Requesting Informa-
tion on Dividend Prospects.
BY BERNARD S. O'HARA,
Associated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK, June 80. In happier
days stockholders were sometimes cen
sured for their apparent lack of inter
est in management, but now executives
complain that their desks are piled high
with letters demanding explanation Of
low prices and reduced dividends.
They want the company" said one
leading corporation official, ito assume
the burden of deciding many things
which it cannot possibly do. Some
stockholders request an unequivocal
promise that the dividend will not be
reduced. Others ask us to name time
by which the stock will have recovered
large part of its bear market decline
We are very much concerned over the
anXieties of our stockholders, but about
all we can do is to tell them that We
hope to get through the remainder of
the depression without having to cut
our dividend"
Some old-timers in Wall Street sug-
gest that corporations wishing to culti-
vate the friendly interest of stockholders
should revive the custom which was
popular 20 years ago with some of the
biggest companies of the time. The
United States Rubber Co., for instance
always drew large gathering of stock
holders to its annual meeting. An in
tereSting talk by the then president, the
late Samuel Colt. on the company's busi-
ness and prospects and a well guided
inspection tour of one of the company's
principal plants were part of the pro-
gram.
L. F. Loree, who in those DAYS, as
now, directed the deStinies of the Della

houses. He was always ready to answer
any question that Stockholder cared

The market was not much affected
by the outside news. The Bank of Eng

hol stocks, to the action of the Demo-
cratic convention on prohibition. The
improvement lasted only a half hour
or so, as liquidation was resumed in
Biscuit, Proctor & Gamble and Air Re
duction.
No sooner does Wall street get rid of
one dividend uncertainty than another
arises. Today it was General Motors,
directors of which do not meet until

in National Biscuit and in Proctor g.

the pressure in evidence earlier in the
week. Offerings of Air Reduction had
apparently been delayed until the
stock sold eX-dividend, as it did today.
Another and a new point Of weakness
was Homestake Mining, the stock that
has the distinction of being the only
