THE RECENT RISE IN THE BANK
RATE.
FIRST ADVANCE SINCE EARLY DAYS OF WAH
125
The City Editor of a London content fary commecting on the rise last month in the Bank of. Fagland rate of disconat Jem to 6 per cent. remarked -Th
cision of the director of the Bank of England is de solely to the sudden rise in money, rates in New York. In the Erst days of the war the Bash rate was advanced rapidly from 3 to 10 per cent. ; then it fall quickly to 5 per cent., and since. August 8, 1014. no necessity has
arisen to alter the rate froth the last. immed figure.
It must be remembered, that. London ninys the distinction of being the only tree gold, market in the world. This pres ninent position has not been imperiled is the war, and is, not likely to be. As. Inwever, our gold must be protected, there is no other way than to raise the Bauk rate in order to compete with Her existing higher value of money, in Seve York. Over the dringency and deararas there we have no contreb: it is merely-a state of things we must face and wake the best of.
WAE TO KEEP MONEY HERE.
If Americans and others are tempted to take from here the money they are in seating in order to use it more profitably' in New York we trust make itworth their while to keep to here. This can be done only in one way. We mirst compete with New York. The present development is pecially unfortunate if this juncture. when our military successes are growing. hat we must how to becessity. Henée

Should the position change for the bet
