DISCOUNT RATE 7
IIP T05PER CENT
Bank" ol England Announces
Increase Today. .'. .
By Tht Aatselated Prat.
London, March I. The discount
rate of the Bank of England waa
raised today to five per cent.
The raising of the bank rate Is
only a confirmation of the bank'
action of last Frldy, when It raised
Its loan charges, following the ad
vance of the rediscount rate by the
Federal Reserve bank of New York.
It indicates, however, that New
York la 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 crlclea deplore the
higher bank rate aa a handicap in
financing trade just when a turn for
the better la risible, it Is considered
by financial Interests a better policy
to stabilize exchange by a higher
bank rate and aave 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 waa 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 Jfew York were allayed
by the the adjustment of the money
rate on both sides of the Atlantic,
and provided the exchange rats re
mains comparatively stable It 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 atock exchange this
forenoon, the prospect of a 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 hers 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
waa approved by the federal reserve
board the belief prevailed here that
the bank of-England would couater
with an increase in Its rate, but
those in toueh with tho situation
thought the London Increase would
be only enough to offset the rlae 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.
Wall Street Briefs
Despite an Increase of about
$5,000,000 In aalea during 1924, not
profits of Maok Trucks, Inc, do
creased about $500,000 to a total
of $6,::o,ZT$. The earnlnga are
equivalent to $1T.S5 on the common

The first of an expected series of
further crude oil price Increases
took place today when the Marland
Oil Co. advanced quotations on Kay
County Crude 5 to 15 cents a bar
rel. The revision follows the an
nouncement of another decline in
the country's crude oil output last
week.
The diminishing outflow of gild
from the United States, coupled with
the arrival here of a $5,000,000 ship
ment from London, has cauaed Wall
street to speculate on the possibility
of another turn In the movement.
Since last December gold exports
have been heavy, but with the ship
ment of loan proceeds to Germany
completed and current requirement
of India and Australia apparently
satisfied, bankers believe the edge
has been taken off the business of
supplying gold to the rest of the

No Surprise
New York, March 5. The advance
in the Bank of England's discount
rate from 4 to 5 per cent today had
been expected in Wall street, since
the New York federal reserve bank
last week marked up Its rediscount
figure from 3 to 3H 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 114 per cent,
and probably will influence the re
tention of American balances in
London.
