Good News For
New Mexico
Price Of White Metal Steadily
Advancing With Prospect
Of Continued Active
Demand
REASONS FOR RAPID RISE

NEW YORK. Dec. 30.--The recent
advance in the price Of silver calls
attention to the increasing scarcity
Of the floating supply OF that metal.
Bar silver is quoted at 81 rs today,
while Mexican dollars ranged from
is to As 3-4. These rates, II was
said, were merely nominal and any
great demand for bars would cause
an advance In the price, Conditions
In the silver market are now such
that the consumer waits on the pro.
ducer. The war in the far east, the
steady ABSORPTION In East india and
this country. the increasing trade
with China are responsible, experts
say. for this very complete reversal
of conditions.

Fewer Sheep in

During the past three years there
has been big decrease In the num-

ty," said Mr.. Gallegos. Three years
ago there we're 250,000 sheep in the
county. but according to the official
records there are but $4,000 In the
county at the present time. There
are at least two ways to account for
this falling off. one being the taking
up of good lands by settlers and the
other Is the droughts that have hung
over that country during the past few
years, which cut down the lamb
crops. The latter trouble had bad
effect on the cattle interests. but the
settling up of the country has no such
effect on cattle raising. In fact, in
that country the more 1t becomes
settled up the more cattle they raise,
and while the sheep have decreased
in numbers during the past three
years, cattle have increased In num-
bers. The cattlemen have been ship
