FOR SILVER.

SILVER mine operators are keenly
interested in the silver market, and
are hoping to e a much higher
level for the metal, says the Chronicle.
The silver market in the past week
has fuctuated around one-eighth of
a cent an ounce below and above the
50-cent an n mark. The reces.
sion in the price was attributed to sew.
eral causes. At recent prices rang
ing between so and 81 cents an ounce,
several large lots OF silver bullion
held by spectators who had bought
at lower prices were offered on the
London market. The selling was most
~inopportune for the reason that the
demand from India shows consider.
able falling off and the bullion mar.
tket in London was not in a position
to absorb for coinage o rexport pur
poses any large amounts of the metal.
The selling of weak speculative
holdings gave, however, to other
spectators an opportunity to pur
chase at below the 50-cent an ounce
mark, Of which they readily awaited
themselves. Much Of this specula'
tive buying came from London, and
there was also in evidence consider,
able absorption by London silver
bullion dealers, who evinced their
willingness to purchase all reasonable
offerings of silver bullion at below SO
cents an ounce. The underlying tone
Of the market Is unquestionably
strong. The best informed authori'
ties on the future Of the silver bullion
market agree that sooner or later a
decided advance must take place
which will eventually carry the price
OF silver to much higher quotations.
Just when the great upward move
ment in silver will come is really de
pendent upon the termination Of the
European war, although 1t is possible
that a moderate advance in the mar
ket may occur as the demand fol
coinage purposes by European ma
tons increases before peace is de
clared.

Waiting for the coming time
With a faith t~ranscendent?

Saw you in the hour Of strife
When fierce war was raging
Him who gave the slaves a life
Full and rich with freedom rife,
All his powers engaging?

terstate commerce commission in it,
first decision under the Panama canal
act, requiring railroad companies to
give up steamship lines except when
Joint rail and steamship ownership -
found to be to public advantage.
The petition of the railroad set forth
that 1t proposed to operate the steam-
ship company In traffic between Sam
Francisco and ports of Mexico. Guata-
mala, Salvador. Honduras, Nicaraugua
and Costa Rica, between Mexican and
Central American ports and Europe,
and between Mexican and Centdal
American ports and the Atlantic and

traffic. the petition said, will be ham
died by the steamship mpany to and
from Balboa and trans shipped in cons
nection with the vessels OF other lineas

1t was said the Southern Pacific proc
posed to give up it's service from San
ridutlSSo " view 4OIk IIlTu Vt0 C81taAAS
and from San Francisco to Europe via
tho canal, because such service might
be held in competition with the South<

"The commission is without power IA

1t shall be made to appear that cer-

Hayre, via Paris, Feb. 13.-Shipping
circles now consider it prac tically GER
tain that the British steamer Oriole
was torpedoed and sunk by German
submarine. The last time the vessel
was known to have been seen was at
p. m, Jan. 80, at Diungeness, with the
London steamer London Trader, which
is also missing.
There is equal certainty that the
London Trader shared the fate of the
Oriole. A telegram from Rouen says
James Cullen, survivor of the Oriole.
was landed there.
The Oriole left London for Havre on
Jan. %, Her crew numbered twenty
one men. The British admiralty ex-
pressed the opinion on Feb. 8 that she
had been struck by a German torpedo.
The Londos Trader was a vessel of
6S4 tons, and built in 1914.
