THE SILVER PROBLEM.

The average price. OF silver bullion has been a
little lower In January than In any other month
I'm the whole history Of the trade. In March last
II was n shade lower at London. 2I29d per ounce.
against 1884. in January. but the New-York
average last March was 50 81 cents per ounce. and
this month II has been 1913 cents. For the
whole year 1894 it was only 6332ia cents at New
York and 2s9lied at London. against 3559d. in
1893 80 sod In 1892. 450Sd in 1891. and 4I1ld. In
1890 A fall OF about 20 cents per ounce in four
years gives fresh interest to the question whether
this fall is due to increased production.
The preliminary statement BY Wells Fargo &
Co. Of production OF precious metals In 1894 IA
that the output OF gold was 345 66S. against
only $685. 1913 In 1893 The large Increase Is not
astonishing. in view OF the expected increase in
demand for that metal. The same preliminary
statement makes the output OF silver only s2s.-
72IoI4 and gives the price as 81 cents per ounce.
which is close to the New-York average above
quoted At that rate. the actual production In
1898 was 455Ss9Il ounces. whereas at "A cents per
ounce the WeIls-Fargo statement for 1893 indi-
Gated a Yield Of 20l5, 500 ounces An Increase OF
IS ,per cent In the output Of gold. and decrease
of 1913 per cent In the output OF silver In a single
wear might naturally be expected to raise the
price Of silver compared with gold. and yet the
silver average last year was the lowest on record.
An obvious reason Is the dscontnuance OF Gov
eminent purchases. amounting to 100000 ounces
per month. The exports were Indeed very much
larger exceeding the imports for the calendar
year by s36,54O.194. against $2S.Ol3.9l7 In 1899.
Reckoning at the average price for the two years,
the quantities are 5SOOO,000 ounces last year.
against &c. 900 the year before. and this In
crease of H. 900 900 ounces In the quantity thrown
on the markets OF the world. against a decrease
of only $4,000 ounces in production. Is indeed
enough to account for the heavy decline More
over the exports more than doubled In 1898. rising
from 16 75 900 ounces In 1892 and 100000 ounces
I'm 1891. So tremendous an outpourng Of the
metal could not fail to put down the price. and 1t
will probably he found that In other countries. as
In this. the decrease in production has borne no
proportion to the fan in prices yet. The fact
is that the statistics Of purchases and exports
make It no easy matter TO accept - accurate the

The ambiguous explanations offered by the
officers of the Crathie of their strange conduct
in neglccting to stand 10y the Elbe after the col
lsion are unntegbe except upon the theory
that they arg afraid of duplicating themselves
They assert that when tpe ships were separated
they expected the Cratlile TO sink at any mo-
mcnt. and consequently left the passengers ana
crew Of the Elbe to shift for themselves. III
they thought that their own ship was in danger
of laundering. it is remarkable that they did
not follow closely the other vessel so as to nave
some hope OF rescue. If the Crathies damages
were so serious they ought to have been warned
by their own experience that the other vessel
might be in imminent danger. As the evidence
is critically examined the conclusion Is con-
tirlned that the vessels were within plain sight
and that the collision was clearly preventaD!e
