The announcement of the reduction removed the uneertainty which has been prevalent in the money Market during the past few weeks, the chief factor paving the way to the stagnation in trade and the inflation eof credits through the governhent borrowing. It had been thought that the adverse condi- tions of the United States Fxchange and the unsatisfactory state of {the national finamc2s would prevent a reduction for a time, but jthe rapid easing of money and the necessity of assisting trade as well as of financing the treasury through is- suance of bonds and treasury bills proved the deciding factor. Discounts ;had al- ready eased in anticipation of the reduc- tion and little further adjustment in them will be necessary. This was the second reduction offthe bank rate within a month. The rate was reduced on June 23rd from six and a half to six per cent, the 6% rate had prevailed since April 28th.

Lordon, July 21st.—Editorially the Times today declares that the erux 8f the whole Irish situation is undoubtably the position of Northern Ireland.”” Sinm Fein belief in the essential unity of Ire- lang, says the Times,”” demands formal recognition of that unity as a first step to a settlement. Northern Ireland, con- rcious of irs strength in its new position asserts its right. to a status of equality. If Irishmen themseives can find a me- thod of adjusting these conflicting claims their national problems have been solved. The solution which all might believe ul- timately practiceable, could be made operative by a single act of Parliament and all questions of the relationship of the people’s concerned, both as they may be held to be st time of enact- ment and as they may be constituted by the act iself, could be defined in a single preamble. The respective rights and claims might, for the sake of peace be recognized by common consent only to be surrendered in the same sentence and for the same good reason’’. Bisley Camp, July 22nd.
