Manchester Cloth Market.

Manchester, England, November Is
There was poor business in the cloth
market during the past week. The sell
lers of cloth pressed for orders, but the
buyers continued to act cautiously, oc
casionally offering lower prices China
took a few shfrtings and bleaching cloths,
and the Indian business comprised the
best shirtings for Calcutta, while Medt
erranean and South American shippers
bought their usual miscellaneous assort-
ments.
Yarns made no material change. Stocks
are increasing owing to the poor demand,
which runs principally to fine American
and Egyptians.

Par value of bonds sold today, S2,86S, 900,

Silver metal dropped 1ac today, to 4Sc
an ounce. In explaining the reason for
the continued decline in silver, Mr.. Handy
of the firm of Handy & Harmon, dealers
in bullion and specie, and considered by
financiers to be the best authority on sill
yer, said today
1.-THE decline in the price of silver has
been due principally to the commercial
conditions in India and China. The India
famine last year and consequent failure
of crops has resulted in a decreased de-
mand for silver shipments and the ac-
emulation of silver in the India banks,
causing large increase of metaal reserve
and consequent Withdrawal of the India
mint from the market as a purchaser of
silver. On the other hand the supply of
silver has continued nearly constant from
the United States and Mexico, and with
the added output from the Cobalt region,
has resulted in a production of silver in
excess of commercial demands. The effect
has naturally been a falling market"
Silver has not touched so low price
as today since March 2, 1903, when it was
quoted at 4Sc.
