THn .alsE IN SILVER.

The steady advance in the price OF
silver, while not attracting 80 much
attention as have the sensational rises
In the baser metals, Is q matter OF ut
most Importance to the financial world
and particularly to the men of the west
where 80 many great silver producing
mines are located. Stocks represent
ing these mines have not experienced,
says Goodwin's Weekly, a strong
enough movement during the rise In
the price OF the metal, probably be-
cause that rise has been so gradual,
but when the public Ia fully cognizant
Of. what will be necessary In the read.
justment OF the monetary situation all
over the world later on. or in other
words, when the war is at an end. we
believe in common with market stu
dents that there will be boom in
silver stocks entirely separate from
that which has affected securities In
any other distinctive class.
The longer the war goes on the
greater Is the possibility OF the remon
citation of silver. There has alread,
been a large absorption of silver fol
coinage purposes due to the withdraw
al OF gold from circulation by the AL
lies, and flnanciers seem agreed thai
there is a strong probability of 1t be
coming question with all the powers
embroiled abroad Of repudiating theil
international obligations II the grea
nations OF the world do not remonetizt
silver or accept 1t on fixed basis a
a much higher value than the present
price OF the metal. There Is no dis
counting the Importance OF the posi-
ton of silver In the world Of financ,
today. and with its strength assured 4
will again be most important facto
in the prosperity Of the entire countr.
and particularly the western states
Surely the outlook for metal mimi,
in the west for 1917 is most propitious
