WHY THE PRICE OF
SILVER IS LOW

Mining and Scientific Press says of
the outlook for the silver market:
while gold has deprecated and
the base metals have exhibited extra
ordinary fluctuations in price, the
quotation for silver has been steadily
downward, until the low record of
46 5.8 cents per ounce was reached
on August 81. However, we do not
doubt that the end of the war will
synchronize with an improved market
for silver, because the precious metal
will be required in large quantities for
subsidiary coinage. In Europe, as In
Mexico, paper has displaced silver as
a medium Of common exchange. The
condition will be reversed, to a large
extent, when normal industry revives
In the regions now subject to lawless-
ness, for to the peaceful dweller in Po-
land the Germans and the Russians
are destroying industry even more of.
fectually than the Carranzistas and
the Zapatlstas In Durango.
"To realize the part that Indiap lays
1t is only necessary to say that India
absorbs 55 per cent Of the worlds an.
nual output OF silver and produces on.
ly 2 per cent, mostly as q by.product

which, for a long time, has been

habits Of the people, the character Of
the climate and the soil unite in re-
ducing the necessities Of life to a min.

small as against their exports. In
