SILVER SUPPLY
SHOWING SHARP
FALLING OFF
MEXICAN TROUBLES HAVE CUT
orr LARGE SHIPMENTS
or THE METAL.

Silver during the week has shared
TO some extent the glory that sur
rounded copper. both metals having
advanced in response 10 happier
market developments. Financial
America. on July 25. contained the
following article on the position Of
the white metal:
According TO cable adyiees receiy-
ed in this city by prominent inter.
national banking institution, the
stocks OF silver at Shanghai at the
beginning of business on July u
aggregated 45.2OO,OOO taels These
stocks it is said, are the lowest ever
held at that center and compare with
45,l00,000 taels on July IA; 10000
900 taels ON July Z, 41,sOO,OQO taels
on June 20, and 4O,300,000 taels on
June %. While the accumulation OF
the white metal at that center is
doubtless due to the Chinese loan
negotiations, it is believed that China
has been compelled TO buy more lib
orally than it otherwise would have
in order to protect its already sub
stantial holdings The report thai
several provinces have seeded has
not as yet affected the situation mol
is it expected that the new politica
developments in the Chinese republic
viii have any material effect upor
the carrying out of the terms of tn,
loan.
In contrast to the large stocks
of silver at Shanghai which ar,
equivalent to about 47000,000 ounce
of silver, according to some bullion
authorities, is the comparativel
small holding at Bombay. which iron
last accounts were estimated at 290
900 pounds sterling, or about 5000
000 ounces. These low stocks ar
partly accounted for by the fact tina
the Indian government coinage rt
quirements have been practically pre-
vided for, while the uptake has bee
large in connection with the crops
The monsoon has been heavy, ind
cating prolific harvest.
THE feeling among local bullio
dealers appears TO be that the pre-
lent steadiness of the market will b
maintained and that the position {
the white metal is good AT tn
present time the Mexican situation
an important one. While many (
the mines have been in operatio
and producing silver during the pre-
ent revolution, the product is held u
lowing to the liability of the mir
managers to make shipments out
the country. 1t is believed that
large amount of silver consequent
is held off the market.
II 'On the other hand authorities 81
that the month of July is usually
livery quiet period among the ar
and this year has proved no exec
ton to the rule. great many ma
ufacturers are closed or partly
Iby reason of the overhauling n
) lchinery, etc, but the buying fro
this quarter should appear in {
market shortly, in which event t
large supplies of silver believed
be held up in Mexico will be mo
than offset, as it is estimated t.
the arts alone consume about
per cent of the silver mined,

be a feeling of satisfaction amo

M'CABE TO BUILD
new HOTEL ANNEX
Erect Fireproof Structure Ad
joining Colonial at $4,000
Expenditure.

Hon. L. S. McCabe, owner of the
new Colonial hotel, contemplates the
erection of new fire-proof annex just
southwest of the hosiery proper, the
project to involve an expenditure OF
over $4,000. Actual work will be in
augurated before the holidays.
The annex proposition was consid-
cred at the time the Colonial was
planned, but 1t was deemed advisable
to defer operations until such time as
the hotel proper was finished, the idea
being to withhold the work on the new
structure until such time as patronage
warranted the addition. The annex
will contain 70 rooms The capacity
of the present cafe will be doubled
and the new structure will contain Is
large sample rooms. Since the open
ing of the Colonial the patronage has
been so heavy that guests have been
turned away nightly and the new
order of things will lessen this phase

OPERATE ON BOY
AS LAST RESORT
Albert Wallace Fractures Skull
Unconscious for Period
of SO Hours.

Unconscious for over sc hours as
the result of headlong plunge down
a fight of steps Sunday evening, AL
bert, the 9-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs Elmer Z. Wallace, 1241 Thirty
ninth street, was this morning taken
to st. Anthony's hospital to be oper-
ated on. The boys skull is frac-
tured, and attending physicians have
but slight hope for his recovery.
The accident occurred at the home
of George w. -Sewberry. 2412 Eighth
and-a-half avenue, about 1880 p. m.
The Wallace family was visiting there
and the children were playing hide
and-go-seek. Albert crashed into the
cellar door, which gave way, precipi
tating him headlong down a fight OF
steps He struck the concrete floor
with terrific force, and was picked up
unconscious, gaping wound at the
back of his head. Since the time OF
the accident the boy has been in a
state of coma, and today physicians
decided that an operation would be
necessary as a last resort. The vic
tim was placed on the operating table
shortly after II o'clock.

MOVIE DISCUSSION.
Practically all of the rest of the
time of the commission was TAX
en- up with the discussion of the loca-
! ton of a moving picture show on
Thirty-eighth street and Fourteenth
avenue by s. J. Sward. Recently there
was presented a petition of property
owners protesting against the location
| OF the theatre at that point Yester-
day a counter petition in favor of the
I plan was fled with the commission.
When the matter came up a week
ago, it was referred to City Attorney
/ ]. F Witter for an opinion. Yesterday
he was called on for the same, and
stated that two questions were involv-
ed-the granting Of the building per
nit and of theatre license. He stat
ed that the city would have to allow
J the former if the plans and specifica-
tions complied with the city ordin.
| ances, but that the question Of Ii.
| cense to operate a movie attraction
| would be up to the council.
p. J. Carlson addressed the council
I and explained that he was opposing
! the location OF the theatre next to his
home. He said he thought the attrac.
| tion should not be placed in a resi-
dence section of the city, but that it
ought TO be near other business
houses. He felt that the thea.fe would
be nuisance and urged the council
TO have the show located elsewhere.
COUNCIL OPPOSES.
H. F. Paulsen, who has been award
ed the contract for building the Best
theatre. also addressed the meeting
A resolution was introduced by Com
! missioner Jonas Bear that the city re
fuse 10 grant license to conduct a
picture show at the above mentioned
location. Commissioner Archie Hart
brought up the point that no license
had been asked for, and therefore the
commission could not properly refuse
10 grant same until application had
been made. Commissioner Bear with
drew the motion and offered substi
ture, which carried unanimously. tha
