INDIA IS SPECULATING
CHINA REQUIRES oNE-THiRD OF
THE SILVER PRODUCT OF
THE WHOLE WORLD.

New York.-Since the beginning OF
the month. bar silver at London has
risen from "a 15-16d an ounce to
&c lid October goth. Edward Brush,
vice president of the American
Smelling and Refining Company.
when asked to explain the more inn
mediate causes affecting silver prices.
said:
The most immediate cause OF the
recent advance Is speculation. Indian
traders are born spectators and they
have attempted, successfully appar-
emily, to anticipate the increase in up
country demand, by accumulation
in unusual quantities. Earlier in the
year they made the first attempt. and,
contrary to the expectations OF many,
who thought they would fail. have
been able to hold their position pend
ing sales for current needs of a popu-
lation numbering something like 300.-
100000 people who have had two
years of good crops following the de-
preston of 1907. Another cause OF
Improvement In the silver market is
the bettering OF commercial condi-
tons in China as we'll as in India.
These two countries are the main
sources Of demand for silver outside
of what is consumed in the arts and
for home coinage Of producing coun-
tries. The latter requirement Is
about one-third of the entire produc-
ton Of the world. The other two
thirds comprise the dominant factor
in the supply represented In the Lon
don quotations for bar silver. The
movement to the Far East is primarily
q commercial matter. China and In
dia have surplus commodities to sell
to the rest of the world and these Gre
ate an exchange demand for silver. be-
cause that commodity is the one
which these peoples can most readily
use. Both countries are now in a
condition In which their exports pre-
ponderate over imports, hence the Inn
provement in the demand for the
metal exchange"

Natural Ga. at Fort Collin.

Fort Collins.-Natural gas and oil
sand have been struck by the La
Porte Oil and Gas Company's drill six
miles northwest OF here. For two
days the drill has been going through
sand which, when washed. gave good
showing OF oil.
The gas came spasmodically. and at
one time produced flame sixteen
feet high. The drill was down only
800 feet when the first showing of oil
came, but at 500 feet it was in the
shale.
The drillers believe that these indi-
cations, so near the surface, means a
good flow at 1900 to 1000 feet.
This is the second well sunk in the
vicinity. The first yielded nothing,
and drilling was abandoned at 1000
feet

saIida Granite Being Recognized.

Salida.-Salida granite is moving.
There seems to be but little doubt as
to the market for our fine monu-

out of Salida within the past few
weeks.
The progress at the Stratton quar-
ries is especially noted because of the
fact that last week 1t became neces-
sary to place an extension boom on
the derrick in order to reach the
stone. The development of the quarry
is bringing them down to the mois-
ture and hence higher grade stone
than ever.
All along the line there is progress
in the granite fields. Most all quar-
ries are working. but the active ship
