In an oversupply. Reports from that
country received in New York in
dicate that the position in regard to
silver Is just the reverse OF the con-
ditions which existed six months
ago. At that time every branch OF
activity in the empire was demand
Ing silver. Laborers wanted their
pay In silver. planters wanted their
pay in silver; in fact, there was such
a general distrust Of any kind OF
money that silver metal itself was
the only acceptable factor Of ex-
change. Now. according to the re-
ports, this distrust has disappeared
and China found itself with vast
surplus Of silver. and 1t was but
natural that the attempt would be
made to realize on this surplus at
the high. prices which prevailed a
few weeks ago.
India, as a seller. is also not an
unanticipated factor. While India
has always been able to absorb the
metal to almost unlimited amounts
when 1t was at price which made
II profitable, the quotations which
have been In, force were much higher
than the value Of the metal in In
ola. SO that country Joined in the
selling movement which Is Of vaster
extent than the market can stand.

WAR STOCKS.

A report of much interest made
public last week gives an account
Of the disposition of surplus Ameri-
can war stocks in Europe and the
of war claims or ac-
between the allied goveFn-
ments or their nationals and our
own War Department. We refer to
the report to the War Department
of the United States Liquidation
Commission, which was created in
February of last year. The stocks
disposed of were located chiefly in
France. though some were in Bel
sium. Italy. Holland. Germany. and
even in Spain and Portugal. II ap-
pears that out of them 1000. 900 men
were fed, supplied and equipped
pending their return TO this country
at the rate of approximately 25O,O
per month until the return trans
portstion was completed in the lat-.
ter part OF last year. Supplies and
equipment valued at s672 100000
were returned to the United States.
and the balance were sold in Europe
for sS22, ,923.225.S2. France was the
largest customer. taking approxf-
mately s532,O0O.000 worth: Belgium
took about $4,000. 900 worth. and
sales aggregating s14n.10o,0O0 were
made TO Poland. Czecho- -Slovakia.

new BONDS i,
WELL TAKEN
Shrewd Buyers Take Ad-
vantage Of High Interest
Returns Offered.

The manner In which new issuesys
OF securities were absorbed duriAgs
the past week; Notwithstanding the.
higher interest rates obtaining for
money, was somewhat surprising
to those Identified with the bond -
trade and was interpreted as indi-
eating that there is plenty OF mon
ey awaiting investments in securi-
ties Of merit offered at attractive
interest return rates. Almost i'm
mediately following the ANNOUNCE
ments of new issues the bankers
back of such undertakings stated
that they had been successfully
absorbed by investors. The South-ni
ern Pacific bonds were quickly SOLD
as also were the Delaware &
Northwestern bonds and bond men
said that unless new securities are
put out at too frequent intervals"
the market will take them without
becoming clogged. ar
1t is recognized that there is
great deal of new railroad fnanc-'
ing to be accomplished over the.
next few months and if the success
of recent undertakings may be ac.T
cepted as a proper criterion such
issues will meet with unbounded,
success. Not in years have corpo-
rations been called upon to pay
such high interest rates for money.
nor has the public been placed In
a position to obtain such attractive
securities as In recent months. The
outlook for the bond market is
viewed by many bond men with
favor. 1t being pointed out that re-
Gently there has been displayed a
much more favorable tone in senti-
ment and if the expected defiation
in commercial activities actually
takes place, II is felt that improve
ment in the bond market will fol-
low because there will be made
available large amounts of funds
for employment in the purchase of
high grade securities.
Strength in the Anglo French 5
per cent bonds was a feature in
the foreign group and it was re-.
ported that one-half of Ensland's
share of the loan already had been
retired. This was taken to Indicate
that Great Britain had purchased in
the open market at least Sl25.0o9,-
900 OF the $500, 900. 600 issue. which
bonds are being held until the ma
turity date October Is. 1t is un-
| derstood that purchasers of these
bonds for the account of Great.
Britain commenced last February
points below the initial Offering
price five years ago. Just what arr
range have been made for the
| balance of the issue could not be
asCertained, although official an
nouncement was made some time
/ ago that the entire amount would
| be paid off on the maturity date
1t is believed that heavy ship
ments of gold from London to the
( United States or from Ottawa to
the United States will be made be-
/ tween now and October Is In order
! to provide ample funds to meet this
heavy obligation.
! The strength in the Anglo French
issue had a tendency to stimulate
Confidence elsewhere in the foreign
group with the result that prices
were firm throughout the entire
week for practically all of the Sc
curities included in this category.

England Now Dominant Factor in
Foreign Exchange Situation

The outstanding development In
the situation back of foreign ex-
change transactions in the past
week was the announcement of
Austen Chamberlain, chancellor or
the British exchequer, that the An
French loan payment has been
provided for in New York. Half or
the $250.000.o00 bond issue has
been bought in, the chancellor said,
and provision for the other half is
on the way. The French. he added.
have Undertaken naturally to pro-
vide for their half"
1t comes as no surprise to the
majority Of exchange dealers here
that provisions for this maturity
are so we'll advanced. Yet there is
still room for speculation as to the
British governments further ac-
tions. To some the statement is =
pure argument for greater strength
in sterling. 1T is a bull argu-
ment," said one dealer. ''for 1t
means that the British government
does not have to send more gold"
To any one who has a real interest
in the fundamentals of the interna-
tional situation, a conviction or
this kind is indeed a comforting
one.
British currency has been put on
an inflated paper basis as a result
of treasury note issues originating
in the war and of late weeks the
volume of these notes has been on
the increase. Figures received last
week showed an increase in this
circulation of 100000 pounds over
the week before, while gold secur-
ing these notes decreased to 28.S64,-
900 pounds. The total outstanding
treasury notes number 319,5s6, 900,
new high for the year. In the
same week the Bank of England
notes in circulation increased $751;
900 pounds to 114.367,000 pounds.
while bullion holdings increased
2,248.00o pounds to 11s,706, 900
pounds.
While these figures point out one
of the prime difficulties confronting
England in its postwar adjust
ment, they are not potent factors
in the foreign exchange market.
International bankers believe in
Londons ability to meet its diff
culties, and the fact that further
gold shipments may prove unneces-
sary is cheerfully received here.

This Is not by any means to be
interpreted to mean that sterling
is going to return to par within
the present year, or even next year
IT applies to the summer months
When the cotton and grain exports
reach their climax, the market is
practically unanimously agreed
sterling will be quoting at rates
well below the present.
The character of transactions in
sterling in the latter part of the
week gave indication of substantial
improvement for the near future
One dealer discussed the matter in
these words: Everyone mas been
afraid of sterling. They have sold
what they bought and have carried
very small sterling balances. Now
they are bidding for IL as though
they needed II. With confidence re-
turning they are evidently building
up balances, and this will create a
demand which we have not wit
messed for months. The announce
ment that England has provided
for half the Anglo-French loan has
restored a large degree of conf
dence and the market is Fastening
to adjust itself accordingly"
II this analysis of the market sit
uation is correct we may expect to
see broader. and consequently
steadier market in sterling through
the summer. What remains to be
done In connection with the Anglo
French loan will most likely be Of
nature to help sterling further.
Gold shipments are still looked for
in moderate amounts even though
the end of this particular necessity
Is in sight.
What francs will do through the
summer is problematical. The mar
ket generally believes the recess
sions occurring during the past
week will continue for some time.
But again the optimistic trend of
opinion can be found, which, in this
case, says that the financial desti-
nies of France are too closely
bound up with England for London
to allow a disastrous slump in Par
Is exchange. The same optimism
might be expressed for Italy, but is
not. Even the optimists are per-
suaded by the weeks decline in

Enormous Decline in Price of Siluer
Due to Heavy Selling from Abroad

Selling by India, China and the
Continent Gre given as the causes
Of the sudden break in silver prices
which began on Monday. The SELL
ing by the Continent is the factor
which is regarded as being the most
potent one. India and China have
always been reckoned in as fac
tors in the market but the fact
that the Continent and especially
Germany would suddenly throw 50
much OF the metal was not, antici-
pated by anyone. 1t is pointed out
that silver from the Continent
started the break in prices and an
evident desire by both India and
China connections to realize on
surplus stocks, while the market
was at the peak. brought selling
from these sources. with the result
that the market could not stand the
cumulative offerings.
One Of the best known authori.
ties in New York has estimated the
amount of silver which has been
sold by Germany At 2o.ooo.o0o
ounces The concerted movement
All over the Continent to transfer
every ounce Of available silver into
cash started many weeks ago but
the melting down of ornaments.
table ware and other silver articles
took time so that the full effect of
the movement is just now being
realized.
Selling by China at this time was
not an unexpected development.
China buying was the chief factor
in sending silver prices to unprece-
dented levels during the winter. and
