Silver Product Will Be Held In
T0nOpah Till Price Advances

experience a temporary inconven-
ience through the present inability
to sell silver, although of course it
will be necessary to only estimate
net profits for the month of July in
asmuch as the greater portion of the
production for that month has not
yet been marketed.
The present condition OF the silver
market which is controlled in Lon
don is unprecented in modern
times.
A large proportion of the silver
produced is used i'll the arts and
manufactures and the fact that the
European war will impoverish thou
sands and therefore reduce the de-
mand for silver articles for use and
ornament, has undoubtedly caused
the present abnormal condition OF
the market.
Silver is, however, a money metal
in every country in the world, and
with gold now at premium, 1t is
reasonable to believe that the price
of silver for coinage purposes will
advance when financial conditions
throughout the world have recovered
from the shock of the outbreak of
the greatest war in history.

ing the situation at Liege, s-ys:
The withdrawal of the Belgian
mobile defense left open all the
spaces between the forts, whereupon
it became easy for the invaders to
get into the town by taking advan-
tage of the woods and hilly ground
1t is unlikely that any considerable
portion of the German army has en-
tered the city. A few hundred men
would be sufficient to keep the civil
population under control, and it would
