SiLTER And PRICES.

Silver has 80 long been low in price Mt Lon
don, and 50 It'll" changed, that few have mo-
tiCed its quotations. But it is interesting and
in connection with other events possibly in
structiye, that the average price Of bar silver
at London for the half year thus far has been
considerably lower than for any previous half
year OF history Early this month the quota
ton was only AZ .O8d. per ounce, and the slight
recovery since leaves the monthly average near
~ the lowest on record In April il was but
l220d in March i2.53d., and for the year
thus far i2.4ld. per ounce. The price has not
yet fallen quite as low as in May last year when
ll.62d. was touched, the lowest quotation ever
known, but the average for the half year has
been sevcntcnths Of u penny lower than for tho
first half Of 1853.
There are many who will instantly connect
the lowest price ever recorded for silver in any
half year with the lowest average Of prices for
all commodities in this country. In May, at
least, the level Of prices has never been as low
as it is now. But the inference 10 which these
facts may seem 10 point il met by the contrary
fact that prices in Great Britain have not only
grown stronger since the year began, but are
considerably higher than they have been at
other times. II silver affects prices in this
country at all, it is through a general influence
on prices in other countries and particularly
in India and England but here the supposed
sequence of events completely fails.
II does not appear that the report Of the
British Gold and Silver Commission last year,
though 1t attracted great attention, has had any
appreiab effect upon the market for silver
u -
only in the usual way and without apparent re.
suits 1t is occasionally urged now, a. in
former times il often has been, that British
agriculture and manufactures both suffer from
the state Of things in India but the earnest
