American Wooden directors met in

financial district. Only the regular

Fall in Silver
Prices OnHeayy
Selling by India
Metal Is Down More Than
Forty Cents an Ounce
From High Quotation of
Last Year

Heavy selling by the bazaars Of In
dia, according to reports received in
this market, yesterday forced the price
Of silver to the lowest level attained
since free market in the metal was
restored in the United States in May
1919. Having scared as high as 41.87m
an ounce carly this year, che official
CENTS off 8b cents since Saturday.
Tho latest break was reflex Of mar.
ket conditions prevailing In London
and dealers here explained that only
small quantities Of silver sold below 81
an ounce, the price at which the gov
eminent is to buy back silver to re-
place coinage shipped to India during
the war. Cables to the effect that
India was selling silver were supple
mented by local rumors, which could
in Bombay.
Economic conditions In India, It is
pointed out in banking circles in touch
with Asiatic affairs. are not especially
good, as exports have been waning.
The depreciation of the currency Of the
nations of continental Europe has au-
tomatically curtailed their purchases
in India, and the depression in Japan
has recently reduced that country's
demand for Indian cotton and other
products. This shrinkage of foreign
sales in India has been reflected re-
comfy In decline Of Indian exchange,
which has been facilitated by technical
conditions arising from the inability Of
the British government to keep Indian
rupees pegged on the new basis.
Besides reported Indian selling of
silver in London, heavy offerings Of con-
tinental silver coins were made. and
the demand was not especially strong
from any quarter. China Is buying some
silver, but Is low bidder. It's stocks
have been we'll augmented in recent
months.
The United States government, &C.
cording to the dealers, has not been
an important factor recently, despite
the recent announcement that the Di-
rector Of the Mint would begin to buy
back silver under the requirements of
the Pittman act. Up to the present,
as far as can be ascertained, the gov
eminent has only made q purchase con-
sisting of less than 100000 ounces in
San Francisco. Under existing rulings,
dealers declare, 1t is practically i'm
possible to sell silver to the govern
ment, as 1t is necessary to ret af3da-
Wits that the silver was mined, smelted
and refined in the United States.
Because this stringent requirement
is blocking business, dealers believe
that the government will modify It's
rules, as 1t is said that the Administra-
tion is anxious to help tho silver
producer by actually buying silver at
81 an ounce. On the belief that
workable plan will be forthcoming,
from the market, as long as the bids
are below 81, and the present official
rate Is nominal, except for small trans-
actions.

In Wall Street
As the Bankers Sec It

Before any Of the routine confer
ences Of bankers break up these days,
the discussion informally turns to
politics. There is no one candidate on
whom the leading men of Wall Street
agree. Even partners of the large
banking firms and officers of banks
differ with their own associates as to
preference for the next occupant of the
Presidential chair. There seems to be
considerable Wood and Lowden senti-
ment in the financial district and con-
siderable focusing of attention on
Hughes as compromise candidate. At
ore meeting of bankers called to dis
cuss a purely financial problem, those
present indicated an uncompromising
dislike for Johnson, and even went so
far as to assert that they would not
vote for him if nominated. Among the
Democratic aspirants, Ambassador John
w. Davis perhaps meets more favor
than any other candidate.
Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation
According to reports reaching the
financial district, the Bethlehem Ship
building Corporation is planning an in
crease in its stock capitalization from
S15,500,0O0 to $25,OOO,O00 All the
stock, except few directors shares,
are owned by the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation. Just what the purpose of
the reported increase is was not dis
closed at Mr.. Schwab's offices, but in
view Of the fact that so many indus
trial concerns are in need Of funds it
was thought in financial circles that
the capital increase may be for the
purpose Of raising additional working
capital. 1t was stated earlier in the
year that the shipbuilding company had
building or under contract for private
owners 20 steel ships aggregating 1877
730 gross tons.

Mr.. Root holds that there are but
two ways of inserting a prohibition

by transferring nowerHto congress Ia

by calling convention to revise the
constitution, And here again an in

constitution should be 50 amended as
TO confer upon congress the exclusive
power to regulate the liquor traffic
not only between the states, but within
the borders of the states, what would

every other state in the union? If
congress chose to make all the states

have? If congress chose to establish
government dispensaries and open sa =

nue., what could Virginia do? The
government saloons would be here, and
the government would collect the tax
and Virginia would be wet" no mat
