It la understood t'nat this action will bo followed by other liiRtltutlons. This action created no surprise, ni It was hnown that IV per cent, money has been freely offered on call by vorlous Insti tutions ever alncc tho turn of tho year, but up to now none of the Important banks or trust companies had sent out notices of tho lower rale. It Is expected that other Institutions will now follow suit. The ofTlclal rale was reduced from $ to B per cent on December IS, 19H.
