The Silver Bids.

THE GOVERNMENT PURCHASES OF BULLION.
Bids Offering silver bullion to the government
were opened at the Office of the director OF the
mint. this afternoon at o'clock. AT the request
OF the bidders the amounts offered and the
price at which they We're offered are not made
public. 1t is known, however, that the gov
ernment is getting its bullion now, at
much lower rate than when it was pllrcha-
ser, taking the London price as its standard
All the silver that it wants is being procured at
a price much lower than the London rate. II
mas caused some surprise that bidders have not
been compelled to back down from their Offers
They have not, however, and the government
profits accordingly. The keeping secret OF the
prices at which the government now purchases
its silver defeats one of the objects OF nyi.iDcr
bidS-the establishment of a silver market in
this country. II it is not known What bullion
holders are willing to sell for, there OF course
oe no market for silver. taking these rates as
standard. This leaves Sll other purchasers of
bullion In the same position i'm which they pre-
Vlously stood-that OF having to buy silver at
the LOrdOn rate. 1t is thought that before long
the Injunction OF secrecy win be removed and
the United States, which produces more silver
than all other countries combined, will no longer
be dependent on foreign market for its prices
but Will, on the other hand buy and sell indie
pendently, and perhaps dictate where it is now
dictated TO.
1t has been stated that bullion holders
were going to get up combination to keep
up the price OF silver. The mint bTeau is
prepared TO oppose any such attempt. There
doeS not seem, however, to be any probability
OF the attempt being made
