somewhat as compared with 1915. ir Colorado, California, Nevada, and some other states, and increasing pos sibIy in Arizona, oregon. the Philip pines, Idaho, Montana New Mexico and elsewhere, will probably reach a total somewhat below the high output of 1915. The production of silver however, will undoubtedly again break all previous records, as the out put of silver ores and of the copper lead, and zinc ores which produce sil- yer in notable quantities will exceed that of any preceding year. owing to steady demand and high prices for all metals.
 Prices of silver were low in the greater part of 1915. The monthly average commercial price at New York, which rose to about 52 cents an ounce in November, however, reached 55 cents in December, and climbed steadily to over "A cents in May, 1916, but fell to about 65 cents in June The sharp increase in prices resulted from strong demand for the Far East at the end of 1915 and abnormally large reduirements by the 'belligerent countries for coinage for the troops in the field These demands found available stocks low, largely because of the great falling off in the Mexican output due to the long continued dis turbance there. With the consequent inevitable rise in prices to domestic producers of silver profited greatly notwithstanding the increased cost o1 labor. and of mining supplies. Silver is in demand not only for coinage but also for sterling and other silver wares as we'll as for drugs and chem icais. The manufacture of silver salts used in photography, particularly ir films for hand cameras and cintema. toeraphs, has vastly increased in re- cent years. The midyear outlook in. dicates continued demand for silver the metal last to behefit by the. gener' al domestic prosperity.
