SILVER GOING TO MEXICO.

New YoKK, Jan. 3.-M. Guggen.
helms Sons, Of New York, have dur
ing the last few days shipped large
quantities of bar silver from Oma-
ha, Kansas City, Aurora and New
York city to the City Of Mexico for
coinage by the Mexican govern
mcnt mints into Mexican dollars.
This is like carrying Goals to New
castle They state that inasmuch
as this transaction involves an ex-
pense of nearly 7 per cent, consist
ing of transportation and mintage
charges, it may be considered a
strong illustration Of the effect
which the low price Of silver is hav',
lug on the trade Of silver countries.
Mexico exports large quantities
Of coined silver, and the only condl-
tion which would make the re.im-
portation Of bar silver for coinage
purposes possible would be very
large diminution in exports, coupled
with large increases of exports of
merchandise. This is actually hap
penlng in Mexico, 1t Is significant
as illustrating the tendency on the
part of silver countries to become
more Independent Of gold countries
so far as their supply OF manufac-
tured goods Is concerned, and also
the stimulus which low silver has
given TO the exports from silver
countries,
The Mexican silver dollar ls at a
premium Of about Z per cent and
foreign exchange in Mexico is at a
discount Of about Z per cent, a con
dition the reverse Of that which
now prevails in the United States.

prevalent at all ages than home

GOULD CLAUSE STRICKEN OUT.
Little lock Citizens had to Recede
From Their Former Position.

LITTLE Rock Jan, 2-Several weeks
ago, Governor Fishback, who is
president of the Little Rock Il Pa.
cifc Railroad Company submitted a
proposition to the citizens of Little
Rock to build the road to this city
and locate the shops here if the cit
izens would subscribe 100000 and
donate forty acres of land upon
which to erect the shops, The
Board of Trade and Commercial
League held a joint meeting, at
which the proposition was accepted,
Committees canvassed the city and
met with gratifying success, Pend
ing this action the joint committees
of the commercial organizations adj
opted a clause to be inserted in the
subscription lists, which provides
| that the money subscribed shall be
returned to the doners in case the
road ever falls into the hands of the
| Gould interests, In short no con-
nectiou whatever with the Missouri
Pacific system would be tolerated.
The directors Of the Railrod compa-
NY asked the clause to be stricken
off the lists, on the ground that the
English capitalist who were behind
the scheme would not permit of any
such obstruction. This the Joint
committe refused to do and Gov.
Fishback fought withdrew the

revenue derived from freight traffic
was $699,490,913. During the year
1928 railway employees were killed
and 23,422 were injured, as compared
with 2,727 killed and 81, ITO injured in
1898. This marked decrease in casual
ty Is partly due, the report says, to
the decrease in the number Of men en-
ployed and the decrease in. the volume
Of business handled. The increased use
Of automatic appliances on railway
equipment also may have rendered
railway employment less dangerous.
The number Of passengers killed was
324, an increase Of 25, and the num-
Der injured was 3.O34, decrease Of
1915. TO show the ratio Of casualty, it
may be stated that one employee was
killed out Of every 42S in service and
one injured out Of every 33 employed.
In conclusion, the report statistician
renews the recommendations made in
previous reports in regard to the de-
STABILITY Of requiring annual reports
from express companies, corporations,
companies and persons owning rolling
stock used in Interstate commerce;
corporations, companies and persons
o"H1uS uepot property, SCOck yafuS

that compete with railways for traffic.
reference Is also made to tine question
of requiring the railways to report
freight earnings by commodities. On
account Of the depressed financial con-
dition of railways, it has been decided
to let this matter rest anotrer year,
although there is nc question as to
the desirability Of such reports.

Noticeable Decrease in the Herds Is
Reported by Capt. Hooper.
Washington, June 16. - Capt. Hoop
err, in command of the cutter fleet in
the Boring sea, has reported to the
treasury department that bis observa-
lions south of Unalaska convince him
that the seal herds moving north are
far less numerous than formerly. This
scarcity. it is believed, is entirely due
to the indiscriminate slaughter of the
last two or three years. While pa
trolling the waters of the North Pa
cific Capt. Hooper has boarded and
searched a number Of sealers, both
Canadian and American, but there
was no evidence Of unlawful killing,
and hence they were allowed to pro-
coed. In case Capt. Hooper's observa-
tons in the open sea hold good at the
islands, it Is very probable that the
maximum catch of the North Ameri-
can Commercial company will be ma
terially reduced. even for the last year,
when it reached only about $4,000
skins.
