with $14.750.00O silver in this period and India with S7.56O.OOo. She se- cured $3.27O.OOO from France. $1.560.- 00Ofrom this country and sa54.0o0 from France. Apparently the movc- ment of the German national banks silver was from Berlin to Paris and Paris 10 London.
 The movement of silver in and through Europe for the past six weeks was probably 20.oo0.0OO ozs. obtained through the national banks of France and Germany Expor.s out of Europe for the same period are nearly 25.O00.00O ozs.
 Again We insist that the present silver crisis is rather remarkable.
 The daily Press came to the con- clusion towards the end of the week that reports of serious troubles in India were greatly exaggerated. , The bank discount rate at Bombay has declined from 9 to ' per cent. The Chinese markets continue weak. however. due chiefly to the after-e:- fleets of the Japanese financial de- bacle and the consequent disturbance to its silk export trade. It is na- tural that the Japanese situation should have more positive influences in the Far East than in either Europe or this country. but it is character ized as mild hysteria" by those in contact with it rather than 10 se- we're rupture of the commercial struc- ture.
 s R. Wagel. New York bullion dealer and a representative of h. dian and Chinese interests. made the remark to the editor this week that "a natural movement that carried sil- yer from restricted price of $l.0U 10 $l35 in 10 months is more con- yincing than an apparently unreal and false situation that snows re- action from sl26 to s5 cents in six weeks We are not especially dis turbed. the real factors will exer. themselves immediately or later on.'
