forces would invade his territory so long
as peace and order are preserved therein.
The landing of alien forces In these
provinces. said Minister WI. far from
having a subduing effect on any disorder
that might be brewing under cover, would
bring the fame II the sparks were there.

SILN FIR HIGHER.

Silver has been enhanced in price by
the increased demand from the East, saws
the Baltimore san, and there is said to be
Il prospect of its going higher than it has
been for several years past. The gold
bugs have placed India on the gold basis,
but for all that they have been buying
silver more largely for coinage into rupees.
Making gold the standard has not expel-
cd silver from use in India, any more
than it has in the United States, but on
the contrary, by restoring confidence and
promoting prosperity, has caused an in
creased demand for it for retail transac-
tions. In the five months ended June l
the States exported $25, 1S4, 366 worth, of
which 4,151 ,511 went from San Francisco
direct to China and the rest went to Great
Britain. The latter country is our best
customer for the white metal, as for wheat
and cotton. London took altogether
$3.50, 2O5 worth of silver in the five
months. That city exported $21 sos, $50
worth, of which S12,966, 030 went to India
and S6,2S2 $50 went to China. China
took during the five months some 2S, OOO,-
600 ounces of silver, part of which was
obtained from Australia The building
of railways and employment of coolies
have increased the demand for silver,
which is used for payment of wages and
for supplies. At present a large Euro
pcan military force is assembling on
Chinese soil. 1t will buy supplies locally
so far as practicable and employ ii good
deal of Chinese labor All of which must
tend to increase the demand for silver for
use in the Far East
