BAR SILVER GOES UP
Increased Demand For Metal
Causes Marked Rise in Price

New York, August 27.-The sharp ad-
vance in the price Of bar silver in the
London and New York markets dur
ing the past few weeks has carried 1t
to the highest mark since November,
1901. For nearly six months the mar
ket has been on the upward move.
Reports here of the large smelling
interests say the rise is partly due to a
heavy demand from India. Large whole
sale dealers in that country are dis
tributing a good deal of the metal to
the retail trade. In addition, it is be-
lieved that there was recently con-
siderable short interest in the metal.
Silver Is favorlte article OF specu-
ulation among London bullion dealers
1t Is believed by some that the Brit

though this cannot be confirmed. France
is buying rather freely to supply de-

sessions In Asia The position Of China
is not clear at the moment beyond the
fact that, where China at the close of

IRON SUPPLY AND DEMAND
Feeling That Dominates Market

ROCK ISLAND COMING WEST
WILL USE SANTA FE TRACKS BETWEEN
ALBUQUERQUE AND FRISCO

San Francisco, August 2T.-Captain
A. II. Payson and w, A. Bissell, two
leading officials of the Santa Fe on
this coast, admit that the Rock Island
people are negotiating with the Santa
Fe for the privilege of running its OWN
trains over the latter road into San
Francisco from Albuquerque.
The impression prevails that before
the end Of the year the Rock Island
will either have absorbed the Santa
Fe or else obtained contract to run
its trains into this city.
The basis. of the present negotiations
is an exchange Of trackage rights. For
the privilege Of running its solid trains
over the Santa Fe from Albuquerque to
this city the Rock Island is said to be
willing to give the Santa Fe trackage
rights over its system in Southwestern
Kansas, New Mexico, the Texas Pam
handle and Oklahoma.

way more decisive than that OF last

before the expiration Of the time limit
Had the wind freshened 20 minutes
sooner than 1t did the cup series would
have ended today with three straight
wins for the defender.
Fully as discouragirg as the sail

out-maneuvered his rival in pectacu-
lar fight on position at the start as he
