Immense Shortage Of
Silver Is Noticed to
Meet Demand Of Trade

London. Feb. 2l.-The silver
standard in use i'll oriental countries
coupled with the enormous CONNER,
cial expansion now IN course OF
progress between the west and the
east. indicates that there is an I'M
mense shortage of silver to meet the
I, demands OF trade, says the Amer
ican Chamber of Commerce III Lon
don. A..
One result of this shortage is that
American and Mexican silver mines
nav look forward confidently. to an
era of unprecedented prosperity tor
many years to come. Silver inc
American chamber understands
must also be found to back over
$4,000 900 worth of paper money
issues floating in Europe today, Ill
addition to which Americas increas,,
inc volume of trade with India ana
China calls for almost unlimited
supplies of the metal, =,
The United States and Mexico
furnish nearly three-tourths OF the
worlds yearly output OF silver, the
larger portion coming from the tor
mer. While American and Britsh
trade with the east moqthly attalns
higher levels, oriental exporters
continue to pile up balances owing
them by the western nations, ana as
the nrice of the white metal ad-
yances it has become profitable tor
most countries to convert mlnte1,
silver into bullion. Small change

tinues to disappear on the continent
viii, remarkable rapidity, postage
stamps largely replacing the tormer
silver coin Of sroa value.
Even withou, lis tendency TO-
ward boarding and conversion INTO
bullion of minted silver, the. United
States is believed to be the one
country in position today to buy
silver for coinage without debaslng
~ standard coins. Under circum-
stances such as these it is impossible,
TO foretelf at what point the upward
price of silver will find its limit.

LACK OF CEMENT
IS HOLDING UP
WORK OF CITY
Only One Bidder In Twenty
one Districts and None
In Six for Paving
Street.

"The average annual output OF
cement in this country is approx
mately lOc,OOo,OOo sacks" stated J,
A, Bruce. city engineer, discussing
the Omaha paving situation yester,
dav. THE trade journals state that
work now under contract through
out the country would require z/o'-
100000 sacks OF cement to COM
plete." o..
"The result" he added, is that
much work must be put OFT until
next year. This refers for the most
part to public Improvements, Such
as paving, bridges and sewers
City Needs $4,000 Sacks,
Omaha paving work let last sea
son and not yet started VIII require
100000 sacks OF cement and Dias
opened by the city council t'ls
month cali for $4,000 more sacks
local contractors state they tace
material situation which will force
curtailment of Omaha's paving
nropram this year. OF the Dids
opened February 10 the Hugh Muir
ply company was the only pluuel W
on q districts, and was one OF TWO
bidders on another district. NO Dids
were received for six districts a
somewhat similar condition was, re-
vealed in connection with bids
onened February II for "a paving
districts. Inability to obtain ce-
mcnt is deterring the contractors
from seeking additional work.
Mr.. Bruce will bring this matter
before the city council this week,
and probably will recommend that
ali bids opened February ~ and ~
be rejected and new advertisements
made. when the contractors nave
caught up with the work already
under contract.
Brick Prices Increase.
An increase of about IS per cent
aver last wear is noted in the price
Of yitried brick on bids received TINS
month. this increase amounting 10
so cents per square yard.
"Another feature of the situation,
explained the city engineer, is that
the contractors at this time are at
tracted by the small town work on
account Of the minimum of formall-
ties as against the long procedure
through which an Omaha paving
nroject must go before it hnaiiy
reaches the stage of awarding the
contract"

Rea! Neighborliness

An interesting experiment In neigh
borliness mas been carried ON for near
ly year In . part of Toledo which Is
populated almost exclusively by Polish
Immigrants and their descendants. The
Polish Business Mems club Of the dis
trlct conceived the idea that the needy
Polish families in the community
should be taken care of In a neighbOr-
ly way, rather than by charity organi-
zations. The latter were requested not
to extend aid in the district. but to
notify the cldb, so that II might meet
all emergencies. This is not done from
the club treasury, however. An lnves-
iigation is made TO determine whether
the need is for money, supplies or
work, and the other residents of the
block, including the trndesmen, are
then informed that their neighbOrs
need their assistance, which, the club
reports, is always forthcoming.
