CONTINUED BOOM
IN SILVER r1ARkET

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Another slice
was taken off the rapidly narrowing
margin between the bullion. value OF
the Philippine pesos and their face
value yesterday by an advance in the
price of silver bullion in London to
2SA pence per ounce, equivalent, at to-
days rate of exchange to 62.23 cents.
AS the bullion value of the new Phil
ippine pesos and their face value would
be Identical with silver bullion selling
at GAL cents per ounce, the margin OF
difference. which was about 15 cents
per ounce when purchases for the Phil
ippine coinage were commenced last
March, has now dwindled to 1.S7 cents.
The continued advance in the price
of silver, Notwithstanding the with
drawal of the Philippine government
from the bullion market, indicates that
purchases made for the new coinage
were not the most important factor in
bringing about the upward movement
of the market.
1t has gone up almost daily since, in
spite of predictions that it would de-
cline and consequently there is increas-
ed apprehension lest the advance
should continue to such level as to
make it profitable to export the new
coins from the Philippines.
Their expectation will not be profit
able with silver at just GAL cents per
ounce. The price must go somewhat
above this level to make it worth while
for bullion dealers to ship coins to mar
ket in Asiatic ports.
There is much difference of opinion
as to how high silver can go without
starting an outflow of the new coins
from the islands. but the Chinese mer-
chants at Manila can be depended upon
to begin their expectation as soon as
they can see chance to make even a
small margin of profit over the expense
of shipping them.

unIonizinq Railway Employees.

Boston, Oct ia movement is un-
der way, with the consent and cooper
alton of the Boston Elevated Railroad
officials, to unionize the 1000 employees
of the system and affiliate them with
the other labor organizations of the
city, under the Central Labor Union.
Among Boston labor men this is
looked upon as the most notable
achievement in organized labor for
years and labor leaders feel that it
will benefit not only the employees, but
the company, intrenching it strongly
against useless strikes and unreason-
able demands.
