Total
Metal Quotations
in Eastern Markets

A prominent mining operator sgives
his opinion on the recent slump in the
price of silver as beng that the market
dropped because of the curtailment of
buying on both the part of the Orient
and Great Britain. He ventured the
expression that silver would be found
to be fundamentally in sound condi-
tion and the curtailment of the buying
resulted more in the lack of credit
than upon any lack of demand. This
mans Judgment is good and his sources
of information are of the best, so,
| therefore, silver would seem to be a
good commodity to hold in expectation
of higher price.

JEWS IN RUSSIA

London, Oct. 1.-The fate of the
Jews in Russia is anything but an

According to the writer, SO per

Kharkov are Jews, who are treated

Most of the non-Jewish Russian

been able to scrape along, but Rus

of antisemitism, would not tolerate
Jewish settlers among them.

COAL PROFITEERING.

The Federal Trade commission finds that btu
minous coal of a certain grade. assuming that its
figures received are representative of other mines
can be delivered to the railroad f. o. b. for $40
a ton. And the United States Shipping Board has
been paying $40 to $22 for the same coal Many
private consumers have also been charged ex-
orbitant price
The people have depended upon the law of
supply and demand to remedy such wrongs as these.
But an industry like coal may be closely con-
trolled that the law of supply and demand fails to
work.
If the government had threatened to dealers and
spectators that compensation would be fixed or
the coal seized unless prices were made reasonable,
might not have been necessary to take any further
steps But the public will ultimately have to take
a hand
