S|LVER'S ADVANCE
IN TEN MONTHS
COMMENTS BY AUTHORITY ON
WHITE METAL
Increased Demand in India, China and
Mexico-Resumptio of Silver
Mining in Many
Districts

The worldwide attention that the
steady advance in the price of silver
during the past ten months has at
tracted to that community lends in
terest to the following review for the
year 1906, recently published by Pixley
& Abel, the we'll known London author
tiles on the metal:
'The steady advance in the price of
silver during the last three years con-
tinued during 1906. The lowest price
touched, 29d, was on March TO- and the
highest, 331sd, on November II, the lat
ter being the highest level touched since
December, 1898. The years average is
sO%d.
"The important features of the year
have been the large purchases by the
Indian government, which have gone
on with only short intermissions
throughout the year; purchases amount
ing to kilos 265,000 by the Paris mint for
French colonial coinage and, during the
latter part Of the year, buying by the
American and Mexican governments
for their subsidiary coinages. On the
other hand, Mexico has continued to
sell her demonetized dollars in consider
able quantities, and the rise In price of
silver would undoubtedly have been far
greater but for these sales.
Reasons for the Demand
"The unexampled prosperity of India,
owing to the excellent crops of last
season, forced the government to be a
large buyer during the early months Of
the year. The buying was then con-
tinued in order to form the special re-
serve. while the record crops and prices
OF the current season In jute, cotton and
rice are now causing heavy drain on
the currency, and the government finds
itself forced to continue its purchases
on this market with the prospect of re-
quiring further large amounts in the
near future. During the year the In
dian government has purchased about
913.000, 0,000-probably about two-thirds
of the worlds production.
"In August the United States govern
ment announced its intention Of pur-
chasing silver for the first time since
the repeal Of the Sherman act in 1893
Before asking for tenders It had al
ready secured the control Of a consid-
erable quantity of silver. 1t bought
moderately during Augu-t and Sep
tember. but more freely during Oeto-
ber. AS quotations rose 1t stopped
buying, but during December. when
prices fell, 1t was again in the mar
ket. 1t Is estimated that altogether
II has purchased between 5000, 900
and 100000 ounces.
Mexico commenced buying I'm Sep
tember in the United States and has
taken 1000 900 or 5000 900 ounces. II Is
expected that she will require further
quantities during the coming year

Tom OchiItree's Moon.

After Tom Ochiltree, that able con-
gress raconteur and laugh generator
for the afflicted rich, settled in New
York as the amuser of the John w.
Mackay family, he effervesced in a
thousand different directions, and was
as good in some ways as Sam Ward.
One night he escorted John Mackays
friend, the Count de Biscout, down to
the Battery to show the sight of New
York. The moon was grand, and the
count went into raptures as cher
maiden reflection rippled over the
pearly waters" He cried: "Eet ISIS
grand! Eet is grand! Dair ISIS no
such moon in all Italy!" Count"
said Ochiltree, solemnly, as befitted
the occasion, you just ought to see
the moon in Texas!

FAMILY FOOD.

A little boy down in N. c. asked his
mother to write an account of how
Grape-Nuts food had helped their fam
lily.
She says Grape-Nuts was first
brought to her attention on a visit to
Charlotte, where she visited the Mayor
of that city who was using the food by
the advice of his physician. She
says:
They derive SO much good from it
that they never pass a day without
using it. While | was there ! used the

turned home began using Grape-Nuts

ly after being weaned was very i'll
with dyspepsia and teething. She was
sick nine weeks and we tried every
thing. She became so emaciated that
it was painful to handle her and we
thought we were going to lose her.
One day happy thought urged me to
try Grape-Nuts soaked in little warm
milk.

she began taking 1t regularly and i'm
