The Mining and Engineering Journal refers to the recent lowering of values with respect to those metals which have attained such remarkably high prices during the war period as follows:
 Some ol lhe metals that scared to phenomenal prices have fallen from their high estate and are going to fall farther That is a safe prophecy when no speci- iication as 10 time nmit is attached It Is obviously matter of time only. for extraordinary profitable prices are bound to stimulate production to an extent that sooner or later will reduce things to a normal basis. The most spectacular de cline has been in quicksilver This metal which ordinarily is worth $l0lt45 Der flask, rose to about $300. but is now down to about S90 in a market that looks none too good The advance was initially well founded. but when il had already gone far the sellers undertook to boost it artificaly and let their greed run away with their good sense.
