On the Silver Question

OF the silver situation, Bradstreets, has
the following:
Bar silver sold this week in the London
market at sod per ounce, it being the first
time the quotation has reached that level
since 1855. Such has been the immediate
effect on the market value of silver Of the
coinage act, which by the concurrence of
congress and the president has become a
law of the United States. At the same
time the selling price in the New York
market has appropriated close to s.. 10
per ounce, the quotation here being in fact
as has been the case for some time past a
shade IN advance of the London figures.
A good deal of confidence is expressed in
the probability Of further continuance of
the rise, which in the opinion of a good
many will within short time carry the
quotation to about 81. Is here, or sgd or
more in London. The theory on which
this is based is that the 54,000,001 ounces.
the purchase OF which is provided for
under the new act, about equals the entire
yearly silver output of the United States
The former surplus of our own silver pro-
duction being thus eliminated from the
general market, it is argued that even with
some increase in the production of South
America, Mexico and other countries the
supply viii no more than I'LL the actual
demands of the eastern silver-consIming
countries, the use of tie metal in the arts
and the coinage demand OF Europe itself.
But, On the other hand, there are some
doubts not only as regards the immediate
nature of the expected advance, but in re-
lation to It's substantial realization IL the
first place, the act itself leaves margin Of
discretion resident in the secretary OF the
treasury. as 10 the purchase of 1900, 900
ounces of silver monthly. lie is to decide
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1890-08-05

upon the market price at which his pnr-
chases are to be made. This, OF course, IS
intended to guard against a possible cor
nering'' of the available supply Of silver
against the treasury. And taking the
question as a whole, there can be little
doubt that the discretion given to the sec
rotary will, except in such an improbable
contingency. be employed to check the OPP
Grafton of the act. But another matter,
concerning which there is very little real
knowledge, comes into play That is the
possibility that the members of the Latin
union may be judged, by the appreciation
in the price of silver, to become sellers OF
some of their alleged surplus stock, or that
the German government VIII market the
remainder of the holdings which have lain
in its hands since the demonstration,
nearly twenty years ago, of its silver cur
rency. This alleged German hoard of sill
yer has long been one of the unknown
quantities. That it has been diminished
very materially within late years has been
asserted and denied by turns. There is no
authoritative information On the subject
whatever. 1t is, however, the opinion of
those conversant with the subject, that
gradual decrease of the German govern
ment's holdings has taken place within
few years, and that the amount that could
be sold by it would not, save in the first in
stance, seriously affect the market value OF
silver. This, of course, may be mistake,
and the most tangible danger which threat
ems the silver market is such possibility,
as well as the entirely uncertain contin-
genoy in regard to similar action on the
part Of certain members o. the Latin union.
A notable fact in connection with the
movement of the market is that this week
has witnessed the resumption of shipments
of silver to Europe. None have taken
place since April last, and in fact has been
brought from London here. The suppose
ton, however, that this country would re-
main permanently an importer of silver
seems to be untenable. This real fact ap-
pears to be that the London market
throughout the agitation which led up to
the passage of the silver bill has main
tanned an attitude of uncertainty, and has
entertained an idea that action by Congress
might altogether fail. The reduction of
the stock of silver in London has accord
ingly been such that on the resumption of
buying for export to the east it has been
necessary to find further supplies in this
country.
