direct benefit TO silver, but they believe it
will help silver indirectly by increasing
public interest in Europe in the principle
of bin.etalism. They think that the action
on the part of the Bank of England was
taken more to conciliate the growing sill
yer sentiment in Great Britain than as a
result of the visit of the bimctallic COM
mission to England and its conferences
with representatives Of the Government
of Great Britain. Some Of the silver men
rcrard the whole business as nothing more
than a trick on the part of the gold stand

the opinion that En- gland will never will

the way to force it is for the United States

THE BANK OF ENGLAND AND
SILVER.

The announcement that the Bank of
England directors had decided to hold
one fifth of the banks reserve in silver
causes surprise among officials and others
in Washn gton interested in the currency
question. The general opinion is that
the banks action Will not have any impor-
tant bearing upon the future of silver or
upon bimetallism.
Officials of the treasury, from Secretary
Gage down, sec nothing significant in the
reported action of the bank. In the
first place, it is doubted if the Bank of
England has decided on this, and in the
next place, the est-postcd officials cannot
agree as to the motive actuatiny the
decision.
Secretary Cage said that he did not sc,
that the decision, if true, would apprccia
bly, affect the silver market, as it was un,
likely the Bank of England would buy on
market which might rise in view of it,
decision, and then fall after the neces
sary amount Of silver had been procured
-AIIOllItl tuNSllpIl W III llIC ''tII ttdl Wa
whether the silver reserve would be car
ricd in silver coin on in bullion. .
Provided it is the intention of the bank
to buy silver to carry one fifth of its re
serve, the total purchase would amount
| to about .0,0GO,OcO ounces The amount
of silver coin in circulation in the United
! Kingdom is Sl32 ,o0o, oGO To take from
| this amount Il reserve of S:i6 600 900
without paying OFT that amount in gold
would not be the policy which the Banl
of England would be likely to pursue.
For five or six years there has been
talk that the Bank of England woull
carry part Of lis reserve in silver, and OF
several occasions the positive statcmen
has been made that it had decided to do
| 1t is allowed under the law, as is know
to carry one-fourth in silver. As this i
permissible, Secretary Gage would b
| glad to have the bank avail itself of it
! legal prcro@atiye in this direction, bu
