 The trouble in Mexico, we under stand, curtai1s to some extent the pro duction, but the United States during 1915 produced something like seventy five million ounces of silver, which was five million ounces in excess of 1914, and it is estimated that the output this year is to be still greater.

To offset these various reasons, it is probable that many si1- yer mines which have been in the past unprof1tab1e to work, with silver at the low price that it has been, will be opened up, and that may offset <, We confess ourselves to be, as we think all nanufa cturers are, very much at sea, and really do not know where we are at from day to day, with sil- yer huctuating at it does, but with it all there is a steady and constant ad- vance which we rather expect will be maintained.
