THE FALL IN SILVER.
west Minister Gazette Tells How II

west Minister Gazette Tells How IL
Was Done.
LONDON. Aug. 2l.-The West Minister
Gazette this afternoon in a financial
article attributes the fall in silver to the
inability of Spectators in the United
States to carry silver purchased with
borrowed money and to the scarcity of
buyers. 1t says:
THE quantity of silver lying idle in
the banks of China is large, there being
much less demand for it owing TO the
setback to trade in both China and
Japan due to smallness of purchases of
silk by America and Europe. What the
people are anxious to know is the
amount of silver still carried by specu.
lato in the United States. The price
is now declining and figures may induce
mora active speculation both ia London
and india. .
