SILVER SITUATION

It is again reported from Wash ington that the proposal to release large sum of silver dollars, $200,- 900, 900 is mentioned, from the silver certificate reserve of the Treasury, by substituting Federal reserve notes for certif1cats in circulation will be car reid through. A truce is said to have been arranged between the factions which heretofore rushed to arms whenever silver coinage was men toned, by which no objection will be raised to the melting of these dollars upon conditions that they will be re- placed latter and that steps are taken to stabilize the price to producers around $1.00 per ounce for a term of years. The silver is wanted partly for our own coinage, partly to settle our trade balances, and partly to re- lieve the general trade situation with India. The latter country is selling it's wheat, cotton, burlap and other products at prices so high that it has very large balances coming to it which must be settled either in gold or silver. One dollar per ounce for silver is above the India coinage rate, but exchange rates are all abnormal, l and nobody pays much attention to them when goods are wanted as they are now. It is curious situation
 when coin is rated higher for the
 bullion it contains than for its legal
 tender value, but that is the case with the rupee.

STOCK MARKET

New York, April 23.-Opening.-Th most reassuring feature at the irreg- ular opening of todays stock market was the stronger tone of the railroad list. Reading soon advanced point and other high grade railroads showed improvement. Elsewhere gains and losses were evenly distrib- uted, a two point decline in Atlantic Gulf being offset by a gain of as much in Continental Can. Metals were drmer but numerous specialties yielded substantial fractions from yesterdays final quotations.
 Noon.-Dar1y activity was succeeded by dullness and general reactions by the end of the first hour. Railroads forfeited their gains and United States Steel was again under pressure. Mex ican developments were reflected in the heaviest of oils. Shippings and motors manifested their recent back ward tendencies and utilities were lower. The only issues to show strength were Inspiration Copper, Peoples Gas and speciaHies under control of professional interests. Lib erty 3 1-2s sold at 9S.92 to 98.e6, the first 4s at 96.62 to 9666 and the second As at 9664 to 96.H.

Taft Comments the

The Hungarian Aid Association of America, which was recently an- nounced as a purchaser of 3, 900 ma- turity par value of War Savings Stamps, has received the following dent Taft, the head of the Thousand Dollar Club:
 'tAfr. John Dezso, President Hunga- rian Aid Association of America: Dear Sir
 '1t gratifes me very much to re- ceive word that the Hungarian Aid Association of America has purchased $1, 600 worth of War Savings Stamps.
 'T am very glad indeed to have this evidence of the loyalty of the members of your association.
 'RespectfuIly yours,
 tTWUILIAAltH TAFT"
 Arrangements have been made whereby all of the post office sub stations will exchange the War Sav- ings Stamps for Thrift Stamps
 Three new members of the Thou sand Dollar Club are announced as follows: Jas. P. Heron, superintend- ent of Metropolitan Life Insurance O. at 1,024 Main street; Mrs. I. De- Yer Warner of Park place, and Mrs. William A. Grippin of Marina park, The War Savings Committee highly appreciate these new memberships in the Taft Club and hopes that many more people, who are capable of sub. scribing in either $500 or s1, 900 lots, will avail themselves of the oppor- tunity.

The World of Finance

will undoubtedly be swept aside. Many of our laws are even now a dead letter. The Sherman Anti Trust Law and the La Toilette Ship ping Bill are both in the sGrap heap. So is much of our railroad legisla- ton, which has been a nightmarea for years. Of what consequence now is xhe once dreaded Interstate Commerce Commission? Where is the tariff, and what are we going to do with it? What about our foreign treaties and foreign policies after the war? What about the activities of cur Department of Commerce and Department of Agriculture and the
 War Board? How far will they be maintained or expanded? These and many other like problems must
 shortly be met; for we are already
 on the verge of the reconstruction period which means so much for the industrial future of the United States.
 A remarkably steady tone prevail
 ed in the security markets, despite
 unfavorable news from the front
 There was a decided resistance to bad news, and a. readiness to discount
 good news. This could be partly eX-
 plained by the fact that the market is well sold out, that the supply of floating stocks is exhausted, that new offerings have practically ceased, that speculation is at it's lowest ebb, that the railroads are now doing better
 under government protection, and
 that the big war industrials are
 making liberal profits notwithstand- ing war taxes and increased costs of
 production. The reason for this
 confidence in financial circles is also
 partly founded upon the coming of General Foch with French rein
 forcements, and unquenchable faith in an Allied victory; government l bonds of all the Allied nations hay I ing been slightly affected by recent military reverses. Certain it is that | optimism is universal among the in
 ner financial circles, who get no little l inspiration from the magnificent courage of those at the front as well
 as from those who quietly suffer and l endure at home.

COLD MINING COSTS.

The higher costs of cyanide, labor and other mining costs is affecting gold mining rather more unfavorably than any other industry because the gold producer is unable to raise even lightly the price of his product. The humble producer of silver, and of the baser metals, has the advatnage of him there. The larger part of the gold production of the world is from low grade ores, which are treated sue cessful1y on a large scale and a small margin of profit. Not few produc- CTS are kept going when profits are at the vanishing point, always in the hope that conditions may turn more favorable, and when they turn un- favorable these mines are likely to be closed down.
 The gold production of the United States fell off approximately S8,00O,- 900 in 1917, and several large enter priSes with investments running up in- to the millions have been placed in a precarious situation, The California Sgent of the Geological Survey esti mates the increased cost of mining gold in 1917 over 1916 at IS per cent. Tn the principal gold field of the world, the Transvaal, the total quan- tity of ore milled in 1917 was 27,- 862,S51 tons, against 29,175,468 in 1918, and the gold yield declined from s197,424.670 to $191, 1,619,605, reckon ing the pound sterling at $5. The de- cline in output and in profits would have been greater if the yield per ton of ore had not been raised by taking from reserves. The average working costs advanced from S4.40 per ton to $4.89. Several mines were closed dur ing the year.
