Worlds Market.

The silver dollar has become pre-
cious again. As recently as 1918.
the real value, expressed in the mar

pretty close to the dollar mark
When silver sells at $1,000, the
dollar is really at par with the mar
ket. Our dimes, quarters and half
dollars contain still less silver pro-
portionately to face value. Silver
will have to go to $1.3s23 an ounce,
before their contents are worth Oh
the market as much as their face.
If the price Of silver rises beyond
the face value of coins, the coins are
melted and tine popuiace mas 10 re-

and shipped the bullion to India
during the war, it may sell silver in
the market to keep the price down.
