NEW YORK, April l6.-The
New York and San Francisco
Federal Reserve Banks have
lowered the discount rate to
member banks from 1A to IA
per cent. effective today.
The action follows a similar
move by the Chicago Federal
Reserve Bank on Tuesday. The
other nine Federal Reserve dis
tricts are expected to follow
suit within the next week.
Directors of the New York
bank were closeted for many
hours before the announcement
was made yesterday. An of1i-
cial said the action definitely
establishes an "easy money
policy by the Federal Reserve.
Financial circles generally re-
gard such a policy as inflation-
ary, tending to raise bond prices
and lower interest rates through
out the economy.
The discount rate is the inter-
est charge at which commercial
banks may borrow from the Fed
eral Reserve and. in turn. make
loans to business or individuals.
In practice. commercial banks
do not take advantage of this
method of raising cash unless
there is an overwhelming de-
mand for loans which cannot be
met in any other way.
