SILVER FLUCTUATIONS.
The Effect ef the Expansion on the Europea



NEW YORK, April 2S.-Bar silver in Lon
don is dull and nominal. New York is also
nominal. at 81 %. 1t is claimed that no
amount of business can be done at ruling
prices. A special cablegram from London
to Oppenheim & Co. says it will be impos-
sible to buy 100000 ounces Of silver at the
ruling prices.
The Mail and Express says: The expan-
sion Of the value of silver has had de-
cided effect on the foreign market, for while
the exchanges of Paris, Vienna and Berlin
were unsettled by fears of trouble with the
pOpulace on account OF the May-day pa
rades, the London market WAS particularly
buOyant. The rise in silver shows how ar
tificial its depression was. A curious COL
