sufficient ly account for the rise in its
price and it would seem that unless
production shall be so greatly increased
as to result in an over supply there
must be a farther advance in the mar
ket value of the metal.
Should there be such rise in silver
or even the maintenance of current
prices therefor, there viii probably be
a arrangement in the currencies of
those nations which have recently
adopted the gold standard, and that as
one of the measures promotive thereof,
have established the ratio of one ounce
of gold to thirty-two OF silver for such
metallic money. Mexico has already
made provision for the reduction of the
bullion value of those of her subsidiary
coins which will be manufactured after
January LIST next. by lowering the fine
ness of such coins from 800 to 500
When the Philippine currency system
became effective provision was made
for such an amount Of bullion as would
establish the silver coins at a ratio of
thirty-two of silver to one of gold, and
when early this year the value of the
metal began to advance it was feared
that much of the coinage would be eX-
ported because Of its increased bullion
value; there is now, therefore, an i'm
perative need for the revision Of the
coinage ratio, and the most practical
way to effect this change would be to
lower the standard of fineness as has
been decided upon by Mexico. Other
countries which have made similar err
rors in their ratio will probably be com
PEELED TO effect change therein or
sufferer the export of their coins should
the price Of silver continue to appreci-
ate.

THE RISE IN SILVER

The New York Financier: The re-
markable rise in the price of silver
bullion in the chief markets of the world,
which has recently occurred, is attract
ing general attention in this country
and Europe Last week purchases of
silver bullion by the director Of the
mint were effected at 100 cents per
ounce, the highest point reached since
the repeal in 1898 Of the silver purchas-
ing clause of the act of 1890, when the
government ceased buying silver after
having accumulated 1853 IS million
ounces thereof; the lowest price recorded
since such repeal was, it may be noted,
Sill cents in 1902, So that compared
with the lowest there mas now been an
advance of - . cents per ounce. From
the above mentioned low figure there
was a rise in the following year of 10. u.
cents due to a natural reaction;
fall in 1891 of > 80, caused by the pros
pect of decreased consumption as the
result Of changes in the coinage ratio
by various silver using countries and
recovery in 1908 of 3 70 cents, due to
purchase by India, Russia, Japan and
western European nations The buying
this year has been important by India
and by the United States, the latter for
subsidiary coinage.
Purchases by this country Of silver
this year have been made necessary
because of the exhaustion of the ac-
cumulations Of the bullion which was
bought under the act of 1890 After
the repeal in 1893 of the silver purchas-
ing clause of this act the coinage of
standard dollars was restricted until
1900, when the financial act of that
year directed the suspension of such
coinage and required that the remainder
of the silver bullion in the treasury be
coined into subsidiary pieces. Such
manufacture thereof continued until
the exhaustion as above noted Of the
stock of bullion late in 1905. In the
current year there was urgent need for
subsidiary coin, partly as the result of
eI4S hNf ol)Illti1L u DuoiIlCSS dCllAlly
which stimulated an inquiry for small
denominations of money which could
not be met because of the limitation of
the supply thereof, and in the absence
Of authority for the recoinage into sub
sidiary form of abraded stanard dollars.
Secretary Shaw directed the purchase
by the mint of bullion for such sub
sidiary coinage. This form Of money
has been rapidly absorbed as fast as it
was manufactured, thus making neces-
sary the procurement of considerable
amounts of bullion.
India this year made large purchases
of silver for the augmentation of its
reserve bullion fund Mexico, which
early in the year took advantage of the
rise in the price of silver to realize
upon its holdings of pesos, thereby ac-
cumulaCing gold, is now in the market
for bullion in order to increrse its sub
sidiary coinage. Western European
nations are also buying largely for a
like purpose and Russia and Far East
earn countries are increasing their
stocks of silver bullion. These aug
mented requirements for the metal will

There have been several interesting add

There have been received at the Zoo three
looms. These are birds as large as geese
and of black plumase with white spots.
They are otherwise known as the great
northern diver and are very rare and DIFF
fcult to keep In captivity. The Zoo au-
thorities had loon before and II had be-
come fairly tame, when one OF the offers

MORE PATRoLMEN NEEDED.
Reduction of Number of Police De-
tails in Progress.

Acting under orders from the District
Commissioners, Maj. Sylvester has COM
menced the work of reducing the number
of police details in order that the people
OF the city may have the benefit of the
services of more patrolmen. Most of the
details that are considered by the police as
being out of the line of police duty, II Is
stated, have been made from time to time
by direction of the Commissioners, and
Maj. Sylvester says he is only too glad that
he Is to have the benefit of the services OF
these men. About ten men have already
been notified to give up their details and
report for active duty, several of them
being taken from the District building
Major Sylvester has called attention to the
number of details from time to time, and is
anxious that the Commissioners should re-
lease as many of them possible No or
der has yet been issued affecting the detail
of policemen to act as guards at the work
house, or the Police Court detail. 1t Is
thought that the court detail may be cur
tailed and that men who are filing details
connected with work outside the depart
ment will be directed to return to the de-
partment for police duty. The veterinarian
who has been looking after the horses and
other property Of the department has been
ordered to give up his detail and his work
Is to be looked after by the District veter-
marian.
Policeman Heide has been filing this i'm
before and 1t Is the intention of Major Syl-
vester to have him remounted because of his
knowledge Of horses and the good he can
be to the department in addition to his reg
ular duty 1t is also the intention of the
Commissioners to dispense with the serv-
ices of a policeman in charge Of the work
of enforcing the pharmacy laws. They think
that a practical pharmacist is better fitted
for the work and that 1t should be done
under the directions of the health officer.
While, there are a number of policemen
detailed at police headquarters, it is the
belief of the police officials that very few
OF them can be spared without Gripping
the work of the department. 1t is thought,
however, that two or three of the headquar-
tiers detail will have TO return to street
duty
Former Detectives George w. Boyd and
W. T. Tyser were the first detailed men to
be affected by the order. The former was
doing clerical duty in the District build
ing and has been transferred to the fifth
precinct for duty as detective. Mr.. Tyser,
who has been assisting in the work OF keep
Ing the records of pawn brokers and sec
ond-hand dealers at police headquarters, is
to serve rs detective in the eighth precinct,
the position he held prior to the time he
was sent to fill the detail at headquarters.
