SILVER QUIET FOR
MOST OF THE YEAR
War Great Factor i'm the
Markpt-McXican Mines
Not Producing.
RISE IN LAST FEW WEEKS

For The greater part Of the year 1915
the silver market was dormant. with
the price of the metal steady at approx
imate,y rs pence. This was u to n
certain extent to the fact that Mexican
silver mines were not producing and
that the Cobalt workings were shipping
high grade ore only. as the British
blockade Of German ports ~precluded I'll"
shipping Of the large quantities or low
grade ore purchased by that country
annually. The rise In price for this
metal during the past few months has
been caused by abnormal conditions. and
silver men say that providing thes"
conditions continue w 1916 the active
market of the last few weeks will con-
tiuue.
The low price Of the year was quoted
July y last at 2"AS pence IN London
and AZ. cents Nv New York. while the
high for the year was reached on Mo-
vembcr %. when 27ii pence was tho
London quotation and New York quoted
J6Hs cents.
There is u possibility that silver will
reach a higher level on the present
movement. but tho abnormal conditions
which served to bring about the advance
are recognized a. such and do not 'ncd1
that the advance will he permanent.
viii the closing OF the European war
the causes OF the advance will probably
stop aud 1t is likely hat silver after IN"
interruption Of this year will continue
to decrease IN price.
The causes for the advauo" were.
namely. the demand by ~bclligcrcnt Gov
crnmer,s for silver for coinage purposes
because Of tie increased M in TN
field when have 10 he paid. This -
particularly true Of Great Britai'.
Another reason for the advance has been
the demand for the metal 10 he used for
currency within the belli=creut nations
I'm place OF gold SIN anuther demand y
the increasing one OF tho local jewelr%
trade. Within the las, six weeks the
jewellers have increased their purchases
and indications are that this market VIII
continue. Locally. there has been more
% a call for silver by reason of the in
creased payrolis created IN the Cnltci
States through the year just ended.
According to the following table com
riled BY London bullion brokers tn
steady decline of silver since 1899 is ac-

No Ban on 1915 Auto Plates
Of Other States. Though
Natives Suffer.
POLICE ARREST SCORES

TRENTON. Jan. i.--Correcting an i'm
preston hat New York automobile driv-
crs' licenses fo- 1915 would not be recog-
nized in New Jersey after yesterday
commissioner william /. Din Of the De-
partment of Motor Vehicles said tonight
that he mad notified police departments
throughout the State that New York
licenses Of last year will he valid till
February /. Notices were sent out more
than two weeks ago. and Mr.. Dill said
that no New York mototist has cause
to fear arres, for exercising the usual
reciprocity privileges for a month to
come.
Under the act Of last winter no grace
is allowed to New Jersey motorists. and
1915 licenses were ,eouired to-do:, al
though mos; munlolpiat tiles did not seek
~ eniJrce the law against 1916 licenses.
Mr.. Dill himself spent sis hours motoring
In North jersey to-day I'M during the
whoi time saw only four Jersey 1915
registrations.
The forty agencies in the Stale have
been ISSUING 1916 licenses since Decem-
Der ]. but Notwithstanding all warnings
most motorists deferred taking out liz
censes. tAus causing an unprecedented
rush during the last few days. During
the week all agencies were open till 10
o'clock each nignt and the larger agen-
cies were open al night since Wednes
day. BY this means, Mr.. Dill said. all
motorists applying ID TO this morning
had been accommodated.
NEWARK. Jan. l.-Scores Of automo-
bilists who hid failed to get their 1916
licenses or had forgotten 10 ttach them
to their cars were gathered In by the
police to-day. assisted by members OF
the State squad OF honorary inspectors.
In some cnses the inspectors did not take
the violators to a police station. blu,
instead made them park their machines
at the point arrested and return to their
homes or gIrages for license plates.
As n result OF a misunderstanding OF
orders several Automobiles from other
States. some as far west as Colorado,
were t1ken 10 police stations for display
ing 1915 license plates OF their States,
These mistakes were quickly rectihed
and the persons we're permitted to re-
sumo their journeys.
Jerseymen with old numbers who had
not renewed their licenses will have
to answer In court next week. Those
who simply neglected to make the
changes on their cars were permitted
10 so fer obtaining their plates.

Don't Think the
Gompers Idea Is
Practical Just Now

Correspondence Of The Associated Press)
The Hague. July l0.-"If the inter-
national socialist bureau has not as
yet succeeded in bringing the Austro-
German and allied socialists together,
President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor GER
tainly could not accomplish the
task" says Camille Huysmans, sec
retary of the International Socialist
bureau, to correspondent of the As
sociated Press, in answer to a pro-
posal of Mr.. Gompers to hold a world
labor conference during the progress
of the peace conference following the
war.
Mr.. Huysmans pointed out that any
international conference without the
participation of the British and
French socialists would be farce. in
that its decisions would be entirely
lacking in influence. He asserted his
belief that Mr.. Gompers' proposal at
present is impracticable, and he depre.
Gated the idea of the American or In
ternational Trade union organizations
trespassing on the political domain OF
the Socialist international bureau. He
declared that such conference would
have to be held under the auspices Of
the latter organization, and naturally
he would approve OF such a congress
