London, Mar. 20.
The Bank of England'a reduced rate is the sixth change since 'the end of October, having been re- duced by progressive stages from six and a half per cent., which high rate was largely attributable to the speculative boom current at that time. To-day's reduction was generally anticipated by yester- day's investments and securities displaying activity and strength on the Stock Exchange. This ten- dency was also marked this mor ning, when the announcement of the reduction was made.
A three and a half per cent. bank rate is the lowest for seven and a half years.-British Wireless.
(The rate was reduced from 42 to 4 per cent. on March 6.1
