The price Of silver showed a greater
degree OF steadiness in 1895 than for
several year past. The lowest price of
the year in London, "a S-16d. per ounce
was recorded in January; the highest,
81 3-16d. per ounce, in October. From
the lowest, which was also the opening
price, there was but little variation un-
til March, when the quotation rose TO
29%d. per ounce. In April there was
further rise to 307sd., and from that
time until the opening of December the
variations were between very narrow
limits, the extremes being less than Id.
apart. Early in December there was
slight reaction and the price fell to sod.
per ounce, which was / 3-16d. below
the maximum. From the fall there was
a slight recovery, however. and the
closing quotation is 80 7-16d. per ounce.
The New York price, as usual, fol-
lowed the London quotation closely.
The following table. prepared from the
daily quotations given in the Engineer
ing and Mining Journal shows the av-
erage prices of the year:
