much money since the Barring trouble that
their constitution has become very
nervous; still the silver matter Is q very
serious one.
The London Statist to-day fore.hadows
a collapse. wlrile another London paper
remarks that the decline in silver Is due
partly TO the silver law Of 1890 which
will be repealed next December.
The grain and cotton markets are feel
ing the effect Of the depression In silver.
This weeks speculation has been con-
fined Co the farcies and the industrials
