WASHINGTON.
Our Production of the Precious
Metals.
a Falling Off Thirty Million Of Dollars in
the Gold and Silver Mined in
This Country.

WASHINGTON, May 3o.-The Director of the
Mint states that the production of silver and
gold In this country during the past year, as
nearly as can be ascertained, will show large
decrease as compared with last year. The
production OF gold and silver last year was
$95, ,O00. 900. and the estimated production for
the present year Is $G5. .00O, 900, showing de-
crease Of $50,000,000, which is about equally
divided between the two metals. The cause
OF the decrease In silver production is prob
ably accounted for by the falling off in the
yield q the silver mines In this country,
been considerably iessened, the demand OF
late has very perceptibly increased. Russia
and Spain have both recently entered the
silver market, and with the United States
have become purchasers In the London mar
ket. Silver has advanced fifty-one pence per
ounce, and g. the German government has not,
as usual, "beared" the market by throwing In
a supply from the surplus reserve. 1t is
stated that the subsidiary coinage Of Ger
many Will soon be increased, and for that
reason The government iS holding In it's pres
ent supply, which Is now estimated to be about
eighteen millions
The prospect that silver will still advance is
very favorable. and for this reason: Bullion
dealers In San Francisco In their offers to the
treasury last week demand an advance of be-
tween two and three cents on the present quo
tations. The bids were not accepted at this
offerlng, and only very small quantity was
purchased The director of the mint intends
TO give notice to the dealers at San Francisco
that unless their bids are more reasonable he
Will cease to purchase bullion for delivery at
that point.
The superintendent of the mint at San Fran
cisco has however, been directed to purchase
silver bullion in small quantities at that mar
ket price.
