Silver is nearing the dollar mark.
The latest quotation-96 rs cents per
ounce--is the highest since 1898, when
the Indian minis were closed to free
coinage, but it is by no means the
highest since the civil war, as has
been asserted by careless commenta-
tors. During that war the price was
fairly steady at about $1.34 and 1t
was not until 1885 that il fell below
the dollar, rising subsequently as high
as $1.21 in 1890, when the Sherman
act authorized the purchase of $780,
900 ounces per month so long as the
price did not exceed $1.2929 per ounce.
The repeal Of that act and the clos
ing of the Indian minis started de-
bacle that eliminated on July 20,
1915, when the price reached 1857
cents. During the 20 years preced-
ing 1916 the price averaged IS cents
and in 1916 it was 65.7S. Between the
low figure Of two years ago and the
present quotation there is an advance
of so cents or slightly more than 100
per cent. Even the recent high quo
tation does not reflect the whole adj
vance, for a premium of as much as
Az per cent has been paid at Tor
onto, on purchase of the metal. Here
in San Francisco, premium of 4
cents per ounce has been paid on
purchases for export to China. This
condition of the market is due. TO
causes that are recognized. Not only
has the production decreased, but a
growing demand has been created by
the war. Twenty years ago the
worlds production of silver was 1885,
100000 ounces, of which the United
States contributed '5S,500,000 ounces
and Mexico 41,400,000. In 1916 ths
worlds total was 172,40000O ounces,
of which the United States contribute
ed 72,S00,000 and Mexico 35,000,00O
Thus at then end of the 20year period
the production was actually less than
at the beginning, this being due
chiefly to the disorderly condition of
Mexico, where production declined
from the maximum of S7000,000
ounces in 1911 to S5,O00.000 ounces
last year In 1911 the worlds pro-
duction was at it's highest, namely,
254,214, 900 ounces. During the 20
year period the United States has
shown a steady increase in produc-
ton, the ratio of her yield to the
world total increasing from 81 to AZ
per cent. Since 1906 Canada has be-
come an important source of supply.
Whereas in 1896 Canada produced
only 100000 ounces, in 1916 she pro-
duced 25,500.00G ounces, The out
standing fact, however, is the collapse
OF silver mining in Mexico, which now
produces only 40 per cent of her pre-
vious maximum. Turning from sup.
ply to demand. it is noteworthy that
the United States exported s53.172,-
