Gates Of deposit against silver has had some
thing to do In stiffening the price 1t has
certainly withdrawn q considerable amount
Of the metal from circulation.
3. Trade dollars are bringing 9494 cents,
and Mexican dollars "a cents. These prices
are usually regulated by the bullion market.
But a short time ago. when silver was lower
than 1t Is now, trade dollars were above par.
The reason was that there happened to be a
scarcity of coins. They were needed for the
settlement OF accounts in China, but the
amount required could not be obtained. The
supply was not equal to the demand, and the
consequence was that trade dollars com
manded higher prices than their bullion
value justified.

Holders who are satisfied to accept about

showing ordinary attractions, appear to be
securing a fair amount of trade, and alto
gether the market does not further lose
ground. Some dealers, in fact insist that
it on the general average of prices. few
sales are occasionally reported on pretty
full basis, but it is claimed that these mostly
have an appendix which, if shown, would
materially alter appearances and leave little
or no margin on the actual cost to the buyer,
As rule, the position may be accepted as
showing steady uniform tone, and

much difficulty, upon about the rates
