The Evening Post says: There was
another sharp advance Today III silver
bullion. carrying the local price nearly
4 cents an ounce beyond the quotation
of week ago. 1t is noticeable that
numerous explanations of tine rise have
been suggested other than the very Oh
viOus factor of diminishing production.
1t may. however, lie suspected that the
repuled London sale of the "Balmaceda
silver" of which SO much is said, is as
unduly emphasized now by bulls OH sill

The amount of this disputed CHILEAN
fund was never large, and it is 10y no
means certain that it has been sold at
all. The problem of Tar greater interest
is whether or not a further advance IN
silver would once more stimulate pro-
ductiOn in the shutdown mines.
