SILVER STILL ON THE DOWN TRACK
COMMERCIAL BARS GO TO 5'S CENio "'
OUNCE-A DEAL IN THE ANTHhAOiiH
COAL TRADE UNDER WAY

,rhora ,,as .ro,ber heavy break in the price OF
silver yesterday. Commercial bars oloppe"
577s cents an ounce. which was deci"e y. -
cent from the day preceding. The price fell In
London which is recognized as the worlas mar
ket for silver y Of penny TO 26ss pence an ounce.
The price OF Government assay bars in this market
57i2 cents ounce. which made the 'ai"e vi
the silver In a silver dollar A. 40 cents an ounce
As has been explained, the fall In silver 20 'he
lowest prices ever known is due to the lack OF
demand from the East and the large offerings Oh
silver by the American mines. India is obtaining
its supplies of silver largely from China. instead
of from Lonoon. China has a larger supply oi
silver than II requires.
\ deal of Importance in the anthracite coal trade
Is plainly under way. The in the stock
market of the stocks of the anthracite carrying
railroads shows this. The hand Of j. Perpont
Morgan is seen in the work that Is In progress
His efforts In the direction OF concentration OF
the coal interests. AS Is known. he has controi OF
the Philadelphia and Reading and the Lehgh VAL
ley railroads. Another plan of his Is said to be
to the New-York. Susquehanna and West
Road and turn IT TO the Erie Railroad, In
which he Is in authority. The Susquehanna and
Western is a coal road OF some Importance IL ~
also reported that Mr.. Morgan purposes to effect
a lease of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Com
pany to the New-York Central and Hudson River
Railroad The Delaware and Hudson has an en-
;ensive railroad system. and is one OF the largest
of the coal carriers The Nanderbilts already have
practically dominating influence in the Delaware.
Lackawanna and Western Railroad. and the ac-
qusiticn of the Delaware and Hudson by them
would place them in a commanding position In the
coal trade. They. Of course. join with Mr.. Morgan
in whatever he does The Central Railroad OF
New-Jeysey. leading coal carrier, Is controlled
by the First National Bank party" which like
wise co-operates with Mr. Morgan. Mr.. Morgan
may be said to be in position to regulate
the production and prices of coal absolutely He
certainly commands the cooperation Of companies
which handle three-quarters Of the entire output
of anthracite coal 1t is the knowledge by specu-
lators of this situation in the anthracite trade
which has resulted in the activity and advance in
the prices Of the stocks of the coal roads.
The advance in sterling Is ascribed chiefly to the
fact that. as result of easier discount and
rmcr sterling in Paris. the special export point in
New York has been raised. Consequently. bankers
have found 1t necessary advance their asking
rates for bills as preliminary to gold shipments
on Saturday. Whatever gold may be exported
Saturday will go to Paris. There may be German
orders in the market but business in exchange
between bankers and brokers far this week
does not indicate the presence Of any. The ease
Of money tends TO facilitate exports of gold while
il works against bankers wishing to go short Of
exchange.

AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES FOR JAPAN.
AN ORDER FOR TWENTY MORE RECEIVED BY
THE BALDWIN WORKS.

Philadelphia July 2s.-The Baldwin Locomotive
Works Yesterday booked order for twenty loco
motives for Japan. This, with orders already re-
ceived makes a total of fifty for that empire
THIRTY have lust been shipped OF these eighteen
were for the Government roads and twelve for a
private railroad corporation. The order just re-
ceived IS for the japanese Government.
II is said by the officials of the Baldwin works
that there is practically serious European com
petition In this trade. and that prices can be made
much lower than those offered by English, Ger
man or Wrench manufac cturers. The reputation OF
American locomotives in some countries, especla..y
in China and Japan has brought about a compet-
lion there among American manufacturers so
strong that the prices are closer than on loco
