FOR 8
HIGH SILVER
Huge Falling Of IN Produt-
ton During Last Few
Years Main Factor.
INCREASED DEMAND.
AS Output Drops, Demand

Natural Result.
INCREASED DEMAND.

For four years preceding the 49,
the worlu's outpUt Of silver per
year averaged 2.s.ssz go 84rees.
In the next four years Il sreraEsd
only ITS.O75.oOo ounee- ara the
output for 1919 was probasiy sot
in excess Of that average. The Meg
lean situation has been chiefly re-.
sponsible for the worlds drop in
silver production.
Mexican mines were PRODUCING
approximately 1900. 900 ounces per
year up to 1915 Since then. owing
TO internal conditions. the Mexican
output has averaged only about 3e.-
100000 ounces a year. During the
war period. therefore. which expeh-
diture was abnormal and the need
for more currency was greatest the
world had to struggle along with
less than its normal new supply 90
silver.
Next came the increased demand.
particularly from India and China
countries in which silver coinage
has the greatest circulation The
demand from India for silver be-
came insistent with the outbreak OF
the war. In three years-frOm 1916
TO l919-India absorbed over 5Oo.-
100000 ounces. a quantity almost
equal to the worlds output during
that period.
In 1918 alone India's requirements
are estimated to have totaled iei.-
0O0. 900 ounces China sold silver IN
the worlds markets during the first
three years Of the war but in 1918
became a heavy buyer. and the re-
cent Chinese demand for the metal
has been a dominant factor in the
market. Silver imports to China
during 1919 are reckoned to have
equalled India's absorption Of lsf.-
100000 ounces in the preceding year.
In other words. China bought silver
equivalent to the output Of the en-
tire world for the year. China and
India are still heavy buyers.
The fall in British exchange has
been another factor influencing the
rise in silver on the London mar
ket. America Is now the crser
source Of the worlds silver supply
and payment ultimately has to be
made for most Of the worlds new
silver on the basis Of the dollar rate
! in London-New York exchange. A
considerable rise or fall in the vaiue
I Of the British pound IL naturally
reflected in London quotations for
silver.
These are chief reasons why sd
. ver. which was selling at about ef
/ pence an ounce before the Wa
. reached the abnormal price Of s.
pence In February last and L. stui
/ selling at approximately 64 pence
an ounce.

CALL MONEY ADVANCED

New York. May 11.-A continual
tion Of tho downward swing marked
proceedings on the New York stock
Exchange today. and in many cases
values were driven below their pre-
yious low levels reached two weeks
ago,
The shorts took advantage of the
many uncertainties now seemingly
surrounding the speculative situa-
ton. and had little dlfnculty in fore
ing q lower price trend during most
Of the days trading. At the close,
however. values strengthened TO
some extent but this It was said.
was the result Of covering on the
part of those wishing to cash in
some Of their paper profits.
Money = Factor.
Shortly after the opening the de-
mand for call funds was largely in
creased, and by noon it was under
stood that practically $4,000, 900
was wanted. This situation natur-
ally had its effect later in the day,
and rates were advanced to IL Der
cent This. to a large extent. is
said to be the reason for the sharp
letup in pooling operations of late.
and little is expected in this d.
rection as long as speculative mon
ey remains tight
The Mexican Situation
The sharp drop in the Mexican oil
issues was the result of reports to
the effect that the Mexican Petro-
ieum Corporation, as well as other
American companies operating in
the Mexican oil felds, had been
forced to suspend operations, at
least for the time being. 1t Is said
that the situation in the Tampico
and Tuxpam fields has reached =
serious stage, and that all Ameri-
can oil producers are taking every
possible step tc protect themselves.
shorts Like studebaker.
Ever since Studebaker's old stock
touched 125. it has been profitable
target for the short seller. Its first
bad break was to 116, at which level
the pool behind the issue brought
on its heavy artillery, and ran the
quotation back to 125. with the one
object in view of frightening the
shorts into covering. However, the
leader of the group behind the SELL
ing in Studebaker. instead of Coz
ering as the pool thought. practi-
cally doubled his commitments on
the selling side, with the result that
the stock gave way rapidly all the
way down to close to par. Since
the stock dividend has been added.
the shorts have repeatedly contin-
ued their bombardment. meetint
with little success. however, until
the past two days. During these
periods the issue again displayed
an extremely soft tendency.

 There are several old students, or, indeed, students of former days, back with us this year. A larger number of new students than is usual are ex- pected this year and already all of the idormitories are full and many will be forced to stay out in town. We are glad to welcome so many old and new men.
 The |. NJ C. A. this year considers the social lie of the institution one of the chief features of the life of the student body and such a view of the situation has caused them to plan many events so that at present the social calendar is rather large. If the men make no complaint, it is the pur- pose of the social committee to make the Hendrix men and the girls of Cen tral and the Normal even more inti- mate.
 Several social events have been planned for the near future but the first one VII be unusual in that it con- tains a financial side.
