LONDON, Saturday. Oct 20.The Dlrectore of the Bank of England yes terday raised the official minimum rate of discount to 6 per cent. The financial editor of Times says to-! day: "Any change In fh official rate le moat anuaual except on Thuradays, and the announcement yesterday morning earned a rood deal of question and sur niM. also criticism. "We understand that the movement vm based entirely on the knowledge that a very large number of sovereigns would be taken to-day for Egypt, coupled with the further decline In Now Tork exchange on Thursday, which made It unlikely that the Bank would ebtaia the bar gold due to-day from the Cape, With the Bank's reserve at Its present level, these two new facta made an advance Immediately necessary In the opinion of the CourC and It was accordingly The wisdom of the step waa unques tloned, and the Bank's many critics confined themselves to complaining that it had not been taken on Thurs day.

There Is soma Justification for this complaint, since tt was a matter ef common knowledge that Egypt would take a large amount at the of this week, but the am' crWcd exceededapcTatlonf and the continued adverse movement of Amert can exchange waa an Important factor tn the situation. While the Improvement shown In the Bank return lisued on Thursday might have led to misunder- standings If the advance had been made In conjunction with Its publication. However, the advance baa now been made, 'end with much less adverse ef fect than might have been expected. Ita beneficial results have already shown themselves In the sharp upward move ment yesterday afternoon in Amerloan exchange and the favorable movement Ja most Continental exchangee. The Bank Court has shown that 1 la determined to get gold.

For some time It endeavored to postpone draatla measures out of well-meant considera tion for the trade of the country, but It has now decided that gold must be got. and it means to get It. This decision will no doubt be noted In other centres, especially New York, where. If opera tors find It sufficiently expensive to discount bills and carry stock in London, effective pressure may perhaps be brought to bear on the Secretary of the Treasury and further measurei of relief may be provided." As soon as the Bank of England's ao- tlon waa known the committee of London clearing bankers raised the rate on deposits to 4 per cent, and discount houses raised the rates to-44 at call and iVf at notice. Loan rates were disorganised.

Moat of the lending ar-rangemente had been made before the Bank rate waa raised, and consequently borrowers were generally able to supply themselves at about 4 per cent. Latter on, however, the day-to-day rate rose to About 5 per' cent; and a fair amount was lent by the Bank at 6 per cent for the week. The discount mar ket readily followed the official tnove- ment The growing scarcity of money and the uncertainty tn regard to the future made the demand for bills as limited as the supply. The Stock Exchange was not enor mously excited by the Bank'a action. Prices fell, but they fell gradually, and surprisingly little stock was brought out, the absenoe of flurry demonstrat Ing that commitments were on a mod erate scale and that the markets were tot overloaded.

American shares de clined more rapidly than others, aa It waa evtdent that high contango rates would be charged next week with lew to making New Tork take care of Itself and seek assistance from the United States Treasury rather from London, LOWDOJC. 1The Bank of England raised Ita rate et discount to a pec cent this morning. Ranges In the dis count rate of the Bank on any day ex cpt Thursday have been few and far and not since Friday, Nov. T. lSOOi just before the Baring failure, had tn rate beea put to 9 per cent.

Buttle had' been caught between the guard rails and his leg prac tically cut off when the cars were jammed toaether. i- There were but few passengers on the parlor cars, the only coach that waa filled being the private car of the Turf and Field Club, the last on the train, many of these passengers being bruised and shaken up, though none of them applied for surgical relief when an ambulance from the Nassau Hospital of Mlneola an swered a call. The trainman, tn charge of the sidings and special passenger service said that the accident was due to the fail ure of the mechanism of a temporary switching arrangement, put in while re pairs have been going on.

LONDON. Oct 19. I visited to-day tha homes of several of the men roamed ln the Somerset House record a as share holders of the General industrial Development Syndicate, Limited, owner of the Manhattan Oil Company of Ohio, supposed be a Standard 'property, and found them living as persona live whose financial circumstances compel economy. I ascertained; too, that none fthem la of the Investing class; all hold humble positions tn the business world. It probably would: very ckso to the truth to say that none of these men has any Interest whateyer ln tha Syn dicate of which they are shareholders.

hTverytning indicates that they are dummies, mire and; simple, excepting; only the barrister who figures as sole Director. 1 Londoners who have had more or less to do with holding syndicates are spec ulating considerably the General Industrial Development' 'Syndicate. They wonder whether or not It created by the Standard Oil Company, and. If so, whether it was designed ex preealy to furnish tha ownership of the Manhattan Oil Company. Persona witb whom I have talked do not doubt that it la an American lnstl tutlon, absolutely controlled by the Standard Oil Company, and It la sumed that this view must have been taken by the Jury at Findlay, Ohio, which convicted that company of con' gplraey to restrain trad.

But whether tha syndicate) waa formed, primarily to furnish asylum for the: Manhattan On Company Is quite a different Question. Several persona have said that It waa muoh more probable that the Standard Oil Company has used and was still us Ing tha syndicate for variety, of pur poses. It waa pointed out to ma that there la no difficulty ln establishing an American-owned syndicate In London. It was quits feasible for the Standard Oil Company to Instruct ai London lawyer to organise a syndicate hero and regis ter it: and If we assume that a lawyer waa so Instructed, wo may safely con elude that ha did not have the slightest trouble obeying instructions. In due time he undoubtedly was able to aay to his employers: Gentlemen, your syndicate la ready.
