SILVER POSITION
STILL FAVORABLE

Silver's position at the present
time lis admittedly favorable, &C.
cording to the Boston Commercial.
Although the yield of the Cobalt
camp is steadily increasing, the
worlds output as a whole is not
expanding to any material degree.
The production of 1910 increased
only about five per cent over
that Of 1909. 1t is not believed,
that the increase in 1911, for
which definite estimates are still
lacking, will prove to have been
much larger than the gain in the
previous year. On the other hand.
there are indications that the
worlds coinage at present is in
creasing over the abnormaly low
average of the last two years and
it is admitted that the consumption
of silver in the art is growing in
large proportions. Further more
the restoration Of peace in China
is expected to result in an early
putting into effect of the scheme
of currency reform and reorganiza-
tipn on a silver basis with which
the Manchu government was con-
cerned prior to the Republican
uprising.
Abroad. the impression seems to
be growing that the Indian govern
ment cannot remain much longer
a noncoiner Of silver, which at
titude it has maintained since
1907, when the purchases for
government coinage account
ceased. Altogether, therefore. it
is argued that legitimate con-
ditioRs promise to produce q de-
mand for the white metal which
will absorb every ounce Of current
production and lead to a higher
level of prices than has prevailed
in many year. In fact the prospect
of the Indian government again
entering the market as a buyer of
silver has been the inspiration of
a capitalistic syndicate in the far
eastern British dependency which
has been carrying stock of silver
for the lest two orthree cars in
anticipation of substantial ad-
vance. The withholding of this
silver from the market has i'm
parted strength to sthe price in
the last two years, and recently
quotations touched Ia point higher
than at any time since early in
1908.
The amount Of the white metal
held by the so-called Indian pool
is variously estimated, but it dses
not seem to be more than 100000
900 ounces.
The fact that the Hooking up of
less than ten per cent Of the world's
annual pr oduction has carried the
price Of silver up about 8 cents
an ounce in the last few years is
pointed to as an argument that a
moderate-sized combination Of
American capitalists could control
enough of the supply to compel
foreign purchasers to pay cor
siderably more than the preset
figure for the commodity. :.

OF GLOON FOR
ROOSEV
President Makes a Great
Clean-Up of Convention
Delegates.

WARRINGTON, D. C., April 2s-
Ut was a week of gloom for the
Roosevelt camp. the week just
ended-a gloom attributable not
only to the Immediate developments
and results, but also to the pros.
poets dlvulged by a glimpse into the
future.
.F~orty-four delegates were Sc.
lected last week. Senator cummlns
saved four in Iowa and his conven-
tion strength is now 10. Colonel
Roosevelt captured nine -Four OF
them, the Missouri delegates at
large, the Taft managers say were
taken by a resort to treaehery and
breaking of pledges and agreements
on a par with the general character
OF the campaign by and for him,
and which win compeB a contest for
the delegates in question before the
national committee in June. Placing
these four delegates in the Roose!
welt column, the third-term candfs
Idte now controls 2O3 convention
votes,
In all the other contests President
TAFT swept the platter clean. Iowa
instructed its delegates at large for
him. and another Iowa district fell
in line. Five Louisiana districts in
.structed for him. Rhode Islam
came across unanimously. Another
Michigan district spoke out. North
Carolina made its first break for
him, the uninstructed delegation
from the First district being COM
posed of one Roosevelt and one Taft
man. Altogether he took thirty-one
delegates, and the number OF dele
gates now instructed for him or
pledged to him is 421. Fourteen
more we're assured by the primaries
in Nevada and New Hampshire, both
of which resulted in decisive victor
les for the president.
Interest now centers in the Massa-
chusetts primaries Tuesday. Pres
ident Taft has entered into the con-
test in a way to quicken the pulses
of the American public. The fight
ing spirit within him fully aroused,
he struck out from the shoulder and
IN all of his speeches called a spade
a spade. 1t was a proceeding not to
bis liking, but he vas forced into It,
and his words have given the Amer
lean people pause. Unless Colonel
Roosevelt captures the Massachusetts
delegation OF t~hirty-six, his campaign
is at an end.
