A contest to control the silver market
of the world is on between the Ameri-
can Smelling and Refining Company
and the silver brokers of London. At
present the American organization is
gaining the ascendency, and men who
are prominent i'll directing its affairs
talk bluishly of the future, predicting
that the price will go perhaps as high
as 65 cents an ounce within a short
time. This is the news brought from
the East by J. f. Bamberger, manager
of the DAILY West Company.
Mr.. Bamberger has just returned
from a stay of several weeks i'll the
East, spending most of his time in New
York and Boston. He is in close touch
with the officials of the smelling trust,
spending some time with them while in
New York and his information comes
from headquarters.
"As an evidence of the faith of the
officials of the American Smelling and
Refining Company have in silver. said
Mr.. Bamberger yesterday, "they are
buying futures on silver in the London
market. If they did not believe 1t was
going up, they would not be taking
this course.

BASIS OF EXCHANGE.

"The principal reason for this CONN.,
dence is the strong prospect that the
International Silver Conference now in
session in Europe will agree on a ratio
for the exchange of silver between silver
and gold using countries. There Is
every reason to believe that ratio OF
80 to will be agreed on as basis OF
of exchange. This would settle the
price of silver around Go cents per
ounce.
"Another reason for the blush sem
timent is the fact that the production
has been falling off. The statistics
show that less silver was produced IN
the United States last year than the
year before.
"For a good many years the price OF
silver has been controlled by the brokers
in London. For some time now the
American Smelling and Refining Com
pany has held its own agent in London

NO CHANGE IN LEAD.

Mr.. Bamberger thinks that the price
of lead will not change to any great
extent. There began to be a surplus
short time ago, and the price was cut
to stimulate demand. The consump-
ton is at such a point that there is at
least no likelihood of lower prices.
The situation in copper is particularly
interesting in view of the recent shut
down of the Washoe smelter and the
mines in Butte.

mated Company and the Labor Unions.

the Unions have been in control. Ever
since the Standard Oil Company gained

look to see an attempt to cut wages De-
fore the thing is flushed. This means
the closing down of practically all the
mines in Butte and long bitter strug-

crease in consumption on account OF
labor troubles in the East. Building is
