States rose only OIL per cent from Sep

year was "A per cent higher than a
year ago, 24.8 per cent higher than in
the spring of 1888. but 11.6 per cent
lower than in October, 1929.

The index of sundries was O.8 per
cent higher in October than in Sep

to an increase of 81 per cent in the
index of admission charges to mo-
ton picture theaters, information con-
corning which is collected as of Oc-
tober of each year. The cost of sun

Paris Bank Cuts
Discount Rate To
3 Per Cent Level
By the Associated Press.

PARIS. Nov. 12.-The Bank of
France today lowered the discount
rate from 3l2 to per cent.
The change followed reports that
gold is returning in large quantities
to the banks vaults
Advances on securities were brought
down from Az to per cent and on
30-day advances from 81. to 3.
1t was the first time since January
that the banks discount rate had
been lowered to such a point.
The action followed the easy
money" policy of Premier Camille
Chautemps' government and came at
a time when call money was offered
at a rate under 2 per cent-it had
been as high as IA and Is per cent.
Exchange experts said the bank
must have purchased nearly $780,
100000" in the foreign exchange
market and that the market for the
franc now is sufficiently strong to
lower rates.
