SILVER DROPS AGAIN.

Nirk

New York, Sept. 2s.-Silver recorded
a sharp decline of x of II penny to
23fd in London. and liac to Ole in
New York. The highest price during
September WAS reached ON September
2ith, on which day the price was 5IlIc
in New York. The low price of Sep
tember was I'D in London and SIC in
New York.
Commenting upon the decline, the
Evening Post says: The chief reason
for the renewed decline In silver since
last Tuesday is tile growing belief that
the Bank of England's offer to water
It's reserve with silver was made on
the belief that the condition imposed
would render such action impossible.
The price had been advanced ON the
publication of the bank directors let
ter. and was forced up further by Il
shortage Of silver in London for imme-
diate delivery But this weeks mail
ndviccs show that in the second week
of September imports of silver at Lon
don exceeded exports by S1IO.OOO.
Moreover, exports of silver from New
York, which fell from ST43.ODO in the
last week of August to S61G.OD0 in the
second week of September rose aagiu
to SIi5.0nD for the week ending Sep
tember 18Th. and to S913.Oo0 last week.
