TRADE WITH THE EAST AFFECTED
BRITISH FIRMS ALARMED AT THE SLUMP
IN SILVER.

London. Nov 26.-The continued decline in
the price of silver causes considerable COM
meut in financial circles. According TO the best
informed houses IL is regarded as being directly
due to China's flooding the market with silver
in payment OF the indemnity to the powers.
Prior to the recent disturbances China was q
large buyer of silver in London. but now the
balance of trade is reversed. and instead Of
China taking silver in return for tea. silk and
other articles imported into the United King
dom she has to ship silver in payment for man
ufactured articles.
This alone. without the large indemnity dis
bursements is considered sufficient TO account
for the depreciation in the value OF the metal
1t is pointed out that even If China paid the
indemnity in gold the result would be the same.
as she would have to send the same quantity
Of silver to Europe in order TO buy gold. The
Chinese contention that China should pay the
indemnity at the higher rate of exchange in
force when the recent peace treaty was signed
finds some support among the leading English
houses who are not only alarmed at the pre-
vailing conditions on account Of their Far East
ern trade, but also on account of their large
commerce with India
Ruuors were rife recently that a large Amer
lean syndicate was unloading silver, and that
this was the cause OF the decline, but these find
no credence among the larger Anglo-American
firms

There has been no cry this yesr for

GREAT WINTER THIS.
It Will Be Either Mild or Severe Ac-
cording to Signs.


All signs point to a remarkable
winter, just what kind prophets DO
not agree. The sages who expect q
mild winter base their prophecies va
riously on the following facts: Corn
husks are thin and well opened at the
end OF the ear; muskrats are building
very small mounds; squirrels are
giving themselves no concern about
future supply Of provisions; cattle
have light coats Of hair; angle-worms
are found near the surface; the wind
was in the south during the autumnal
equinox. All this might seem con-
elusive, but for the array OF contra
dictory evidence brought out BY
farmers who are looking for cold
winter. These point to the TACT that
mice in fodder shocks have built their
nests very high; that Kansas fowl
moulted early this year; that horses
have grown long, thick coats OF hair
apparently in fine scorn Of the cattle
who are described as lending the tes-
timony Of their hides to the other
side); that the fodder crop is unusual
ly heavy; that buffalo grass has q
larger stem than usual; that after the
fall EQUINOX there was Q "ireeze.
