THE INDIAN SILVER QUESTION
Some Phases OF II Discussed In the House
of Lords.

OF Lords.
LONDON. Aug. TN the House Of Lords to-
day the Earl Of North brook. formerly Governor
General OF India. called the attention OF the
House to the existing obstacles to the impor-
tation OF manufactured silver from India
arising from the com oulsory hall. mari king law
in England. He said that the silver In the
hands OF the people Of india was estimated to
amount in value from f13O,0OO.OOO to $780,
100000. Owing to the stoppage Of the free
coinage Of silver by the Indian Government
the people were unable to find a market for
their metal and were sustaining enormous
losses. The abolition of the hallmark law In
England. together with free trade in articles
manufactured from silver. would. he declared.
mitigate the evils brought about by the stop
page OF free coinage.
The Earl OF Kimberley. Secretary OF State
for Indin. admitted that it was desirable to
change the Jaw. Silver manufacturers in Eng
o! the law compelling their goods to bear a hall
mark. He saw no reason why the various
standards Of manufactured silver ought not to
exist in England the same in other coun-
tries.
Lord Herscholl. Lord High Chancellor. said
he had been advised that there were no large
boards Of silver in India. During the famine
sent to the minis. whore they had been con-
verted into rupees The estimate as to the
value of the ornaments among the natives was
"a greatly ov.rrateG one.

DENVER, Aug. I'm reference to the WASH
ington despatch regarding advance money to
Western minis. Chic! Clerk Leech Of the Den
yer Mint said that this advance in the am punt
OF money on hand tecame necessary because
OF the largely increased purchases OF gold
bullion ut this point. The gold purchased at

100000 greater than any previous months

eminent deposits in tho Denver banks for the
use OF the mint were wholly exhausted during
the month. and u call for $4,000 had to h,
made in orde: to meet the purchase OF all gold
presented.
The greatest increase comes from Cripple
Crock, n very large per cent. OF last months
purchases Icing from that camp Gipin and
Boulder counties and the an Juan country
also in 'reased the amount Of gold offered at
tn" mint for purchase. The Denver Mint
shipped S9O.O0O worth Of gold o the Philadel-
phia Mint for coinage on last Saturday. No
silver purchases are made at the Denver Mint
excepting where the gold and silver are mixei
and per cent or over Of the metal pres ented
IL gold. Then the bullion is purchased and
the silver paid for at the Government price at
Washington. This silver is sent with the gold
to the coinage mint. where the separation is
made. Thus far this month the gold pur-
chases show q large increase. md 1t Is ex-
pected at the mint that the volume OF business
done in July will be surpassed this M nth.
