EUROPEAN COUNTRIES

One Of the leading authorities on

Of prices In this country naturally

says that the purchases BY the mints

present seem to be what win make
The quotation. He adds:
There ID no doubt that France.
Russia and England will use more
silver for coinage purposes. but from
what We can learn in this country
hey have MOI been large buyers re-
Gently. This may be due to many
factors, but in my opinion the prin.
cipal reason II the high price pre-
gailing. Perhaps those countries are
waiting for the market 70 drop OF
somewhat before they enter again Ar
purchasers, but from all outward ap-
Dearances they viii be compelled to
buy again.
Just when this viii be done DO

they will not delay very long. There
IL one feature Of the recent market
which apparently has been lost sight
Of and that is the inaction on the
part Of India and China. in normal
times te two largest consumers Of
the white metal.
Whether these two countries viii
come In the market soon, or whether
they will hold OF for a long time. Is
a matter OF opinion. But one thing
ID certain, that they win all buy again

might be used in the future than has

GOOD ROAD ACTIVITY PROMlS-
ED WHEN STATE HIGHWAY
COMMISSION BEGINS WORK.

The election of J. Wallace Alexan-
der, president of the Louisiana Good
Roads Association following shortly
after Governor Peasants appointed
him a member Of the State Highway
Commission authorized by the last
legislature, has given added impetus
to the already definite good roads
movement in this state. It was Re-
preventative Alexander who fathered
the $2O,OOO,OOO good roads bond
bill at the last session and which lost
by but two votes. 1t is now the pur-
pose of the commission to make
thorough survey and analysis of the
good roads situation in this state and
report to the legislature of 1913.
With ample time before them and
with men on the commission who
are deeply Interested IN the econo-
mic side of good roads, it is anticipa-
ted their report will go a long way
towards solving the big problem, of
such Importance especially to the
rural districts.
