SILVER PURCHASES


Washington, July 24-Bids for supplying
United States mints with silver bullion were
opened at the Office of the director of the
mint yesterday. About 100000 ounces we're
offered. All offers for delivery at PhiladeI.
phia which we're not above market rate were
accepted, and those above rejected. The
offers received from San Francisco were all
in excess of the market rate and were de-
clined by the department. The bidders,
however. were offered the price regarded by
the department to be market rate, but they
all refused to accept, hence no purchases
were made for delivery at San Francisco,
all tho'e made being for the Philadelphia
mint. which aggregate about 300, 900 ounces.
The department anticipate having to do the
largest proportion of silver coinage during
the month of August at the Philadelphia
mint, owing to their inability to procure sill
yer at market rates for the western minis.
