The average yearly production of sill
yer for the entire world during the past
four years was about 100, 900 900 ozs 1t
is estimated that &c, 600 900 ozs annually
is consumed in the arts and moving pic
ture business This leaves but 1870, ,OOO,-
900 ozs. annually to meet the require
ments of the worlds mints for none
tary purposes.
India is known as the "snk' for sill
Yer. The average annual imports of sill
Yer into India for the Is years begin
ming April l, 1901, to March 81, 1916,
was 3.136,00O ozs. The average annual
export of silver out of India for the
same period of time was 67,606,O 600 ozs.
per year. This is why India is known
as the sink for silver, for this metal
never again appears in the markets of
the world. During the is years consid-
cred above. over one billion ounces of
silver has disappeared into this ''snk, =
markets, and this same process has
been going on for much. longer than Is
years, and in all probability will con-
tinue at an Increased rate in the future.
Subtracting the 67.606.oOo ozs absorb
ed yearly by india from the 10000. 900
ozs. of the available worlds supply, af-
ter the demands of the arts and nov
ing picture business have been met, we
have but 62,S94.OOo ozs left with which
to meet the demands of the world for
coinage purposes. How far this amount
will go toward this end is indicated by
the following:
The worlds demand for silver for
coinage purposes. outside the British
Empire. has averaged for the period of
Is years, 150, 600, 600 ozs. annually or
more than twice much as will be
available at the present rate of pro-
duction after the demands of India and
the arts have been satisfied. Re-coin-
age of old and mutilated coins and old
silverware and jewelry has probably
supplied 25.o0o.OoO ozs. OF this demand,
reducing the actual amount to about
