Mercier Fears

Silver Dollar Is
Worth Over ST Now

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.---For the
first time in thirty-fve years the metal
in the American silver dollar is worth
more than the face value of the coin.
Sales of the metal were made in
the New York market yesterday at
$1.30A cents an ounce. The gold
parity of the silver do-.ar is $1,2929;
that is, when silver metal sells at that
price the silver in the dollar is worth
a dollar.
With silver selling around the high
price established yesterday it will be
profitable to melt down dollars and
sell them as bullion. Bullion dealers
estimated the melting cost at about
half a cent an ounce. "Goulashing"
of dollars. as the bullion trade calls
melting them down, is not likely to
become much of practice, however,
because of the limited number of dol
lars in circulation. Upward of $780,
100000 worth of silver dollars were
melted down and sold as bullion un-
der the provisions of the wartime
Pittman act. Much or that silver
went to India to pay for war pur-
cilases.
Silver, like most other commodities
has been steadily rising in price since
the war began, and the movement
has been accelerated since the sign
ing of the armistice by reason of the
heavy world demand for the metal
for coinage. With the withdrawal of
gold from circulation in various parts
of the world as a result of the war,
silver has come into greater use, par
ticularly in Europe, where It has tenn
porarily taken the place Of gold as a
hard money.
Since last May, when the United
States lifted the embargo upon ex-
ports of silver from the country,
China has come into this market as a
heavy purchaser, and recently sales
for shipment to the Far East have
been running at the rate of 100000
to 100000 ounces month. In
August exports to China reacl:cd the
larger figure, and in September they
exceeded 100000 ounces. China is
bidling against the world for oliver
at present and is willing to pay a
higher price than England. That is
the principal factor in the market at
the moment, and the demand from
that quarter is expected to continue
heavy for some time.

GOVERNMENT TO RELEASE LARGE sum THROUGHOUT THE J. s
TO ASSIST LOCAL EIERP RISES AFTER STOCK MARKET CRASH
LIQUOR Ban OFF
in Ten Days

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.--There
is decidedly optimistic feeling in Of
fetal and other circles in Washington
that the wartime prohibition ban will
be lifted by presidential proclamation
within ten days. This feeling, admit
tedly, is not based on any authorita-
tive statement from the White House
or any official utterance, but those
familiar by long experience with
"signs" in Washington believe the
signs" point to an early lifting Of
the ban.
One person in close touch with the
administration based his belief on the
early lifting of the ban on the fact
that, despite the adverse opinion of
Attorney General Palmer and owing
to the constant reiteration of members
of Congress that he has the authority
under the food act, President Wilson
is rapidly becoming or the opinion
that Congress, in passing the war pro-
hibition act, intended that he should
have the power to revoke it when the
necessity for which it was enacted has
ceased to exist.
Presidents Attitude Clear
That the President believes that the
purposes for which it was adopted
have been fulfilled cannot be doubt
ed, because of his repeated assertion
Of it and his several appeals to Con-
gress to reproduce it. His veto on
the prohibition enforcement bill and
his reason therefor leaves no doubt
that. he is opposed to continuation of
the act.

Strike Has Cost
Miners $40, ,OOO,O

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Soft
coal miners to date have lost $780,
000,0 in wages and fines due to the
strike which began November /.
Eight full working days have been
lost. During the last two weeks Of
operation the miners earned an av-
erage of $4 day, which was rec
ord. This means each miner lost $50
in wages.
Under the wartime act there is
strike penalty clause that will no
doubt be operative against the min
ers. They will be required to pay
81 per day each for every day they
were idle, the money to go to the
Red Cross.
The bill the miners will have to
pay will be;
