BAR SILVER BREAKS.
Proposal to Increase Indian Import
Tax Weakens the Metal.

Bar silver quotations in London and New
York declined yesterday 10 the lowest level
OF tho year. the movement being ascribed to
the decision OF the Indian government to
impose heavier tax on imports of the
metal Edward Brush. vice-president Of the
American Smeiting and Refining Company,
makes the following statement regarding
the increased duty and it's possible effect
upon the demand for silver in the East:
The Indian government has thrown a
honnsheil into the silver market. 1t has
apparently come out of a clear sky, as no
intimation whateve has either reached the
general trade or even the large Eastern
banks. The duty FOR the last ten or fifteen
years has been per cent on the value of
Troy ounce Al the present value of sill
yer this Will make a duty OF about IS per
cent. The reasons for this additional duty
are or course, problematical At the time
OF the imposition of the duty of per cent
the matter was thoroughly discussed. and
those IN favor OF the duty favored it be-
cause they desired to discourage the inn
portation OF silver into India II. however,
had no such effect whatever apparently,
and IN the opinion Of students OF the sub
iect who have had wide banking expert
ence in India even the imposition OF q duty
of is per cent will not permanently discour-
age the importation of silver. and its dis
tribution by the bazaars to the natives.
The India man knows no other method OF
stances permit except bv either burying
chunks of silver or manufacturing ii into
bracelets or other ornaments Tor the WoiI-
en- OF India.
The accumulation of silver in India will
be of course, enhanced in value over the
delivery price from London by the amount
OF this duty. and undoubtedly such ac-
emulation as they may now have in India,
which is reported 20 be much less than
that of six months or a year ago, viii be
distributed and consumed before new buy
ing Will take place. For this reason the
London market has broken from q
pence yesterday TO q 7-16 pence to-day. IT.
however, the consumption Of silver in India
is not to be affected by this tax, which un-
doubtedly will be the case unless silver IS
produced in India, then the price of silver
viii not be permanently affected The con-
sumption OF silver in India will simply be
taxed 10 this increased extent. as naturally
the parity of value viii be reached al
London. and the cost of delivery and OF
duty viii be paid by the buyer
At the present time there is a very ilEei5
demand for silver in China. whlen 1s llkelE
TO increase. On account Of the How price
of silver and the high price of common
ties which are usually imported into emma
these imports have been very much re-
stricted and exports have been encouraged
and silver alone can be shipped TO Chlna
to effect the balance Of trade 1t VIII pc
most interesting to note the reasons 10
be given by the India government Tor TINS
added duty and also to note the effect II
any which il will have on the consump-
ton of silver in India.
