SILVER.


Considerable interest attaches to the ex-
pected decision as to silver by the British
cabinet, though the prevalent impression
has been that the strong feeling shown
by London commercial and banking in
terests against any concessions or agita-
ton will end in the dropping Of the entire
matter. The immediate effect was to
strengthen the silver market. In fact.
