SILVER SITUATION CRITICAL.
Future of White Metal Said to Depend on
United States.

A London dispatch says the outlook
on the stock exchange was somewhat
brighter during the past week. owing
to the message from President Roose-
velt, the speech OF the Prince of Wales
and the unexpectedly heavy captures
in South Africa. These latter also
helped the market for mining shares,
and Kaffirs rose slightly on indefinite
predictions of the termination of the
South African war.
The money situation was satisfac-
tory and there was no prospect of
stringency in New York, Paris and
Berlin bills. 1t is thought this prom
ised situation, com bined with the pres
ent low price of all stocks, will stimu-
late both investment and speculation.
The volume of business to date is
still limited. American securities
were lethargic, in spite of improve
ment of Wall street.
The silver situation is still critical.
although silver has recovered slightly
from its lowest quotations. The future
OF silver is said to depend entirely upon
whether the United States refrains
from pressing further sales.
