BUSINESS NOTES.
London silver Market - western
UniOn-Brewery stock security
for BiIls-mOney and Ball
road Earnings.

The London silver market remains
strong and shows this week considerable
advance. Indian exchange continues to
improve, the allotments OF Wednesday
last having been awarded at an advance
OF 1-1Gd. per rupee. This in conjunction
with the limited supply OF the white
metal to be found in the market gives Il
more steady market. The price of bar
silver in London, per ounce, during the
week has been as follows:
oct. 30. Nou. /. Nou. 2. Nou. ,. Nor. /. NoU5 &.
459id. 457sd. A. 5-1Gd. 4Gd. 46Bd. 4GBd.
1t was noted that the low prices for sill
yer last summer had the effect Of causing
number of low-grade mines in the
western siver-producing regions to
be shut down, and, as devel-
oped in special reports to Brdd-
streets from the leading centers OF
the mining industry, seemed to be in the
way of a general curtailment of the sill
yer production. To some extent the
actual decrease in the supply and the
prospect OF a further check to production
| had an appreCiable effect in the improve
ment witnessed in the silver market.
Just how great the actual decrease was
is difficult matter to estimate. 1t seems
however, that with the better prices d
more confident feeling has taken hold OF
the mining industry, and greater supply
OF silver is now coming forward, while
many mines which it was understood
would be shut down are continuing oper
atoms, and in some instances work has
been resumed where under influences o.
low prices it had been suspended.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany is preparing to put electric call but
tons in the places of business OF its sub
scribers. When q messenger is needed
to take kilograms to the Western Unior
office or otherwise, all that is required il
to press the button and the messenge
will be forthcoming. You can have
slow or fast one, as you desire. Per
haps within short time the Western
Union will annnunce a reduction in it
charges. This may be done for fey
weeks, when the Postal Company will b
, here, and the public can be bled for con
siderable in the intervening time.
1t is decided by the Attorney-Genera
OF the United States that called bond
upon which interest has ceased to ru
: preliminary to their redemption, will nc
answer as security for National Ban
bills in circulation. That the law cal
for bonds actually drawing interest, an
no other will be accepted by the Cover
ment.
