Revelation, Metr6's screen
classic, which shows tomorrow night
at the Palace Airdome, is said to be
one of the finest pictures Of the sea-

There are three reasons given for
this. First, Mabel Wagnall's s story
of the little Partisan model who won
her soul back through the gentle
Influence of posing as the Madonna,
makes ideal screen material, with its
swift action and vivid romance.
Second, the picture has q wonder

along the West Coast of Mexico

are indicative of the work being
done in the Southern Republic.
Figures given out relative to
forthcoming shipments to be
made are proof of the intensive
farming in Sonora and Sinaloa
the past year.
Shipments this year will mean
an increased revenue to this city
in importation duties. It further
signifies that greater attention
is being given agriculture on the
West Coast with increased pay.
rolls and more prosperity for
the Mexican.
The eyes of the American peo.
pie are turning more and more
to the wonderful possibilities of
the West Coast of Mexico and
to the fertile and yielding lands
of that section of Mexico.
With tranquility restored in
Mexico there will be nothing
that will stop the West Coast
farming-the best in the world.

SILVER HOLDS STRONG.

this has been outwardly appar-.
ent in actual price advances.
Transactions have not been rela.

smaller. obviously justifying
higher prices later on.
There have been several inter.
esting developments. Germany

nations; new silver coinage was
issued in Russia ten days ago,
while curtailment of operations
by copper companies in this
country that produce silver as q
bi-product, is reducing available
supplies.
Silver stocks at Shanghai are
about 65, 900, 900 Mexican dollars
compared with about $4,000, 900
month ago. In India paper
rupees have been sold against
sterling purchases and concern
over legislative action on a pro.
posed silver import duty has re.
tarded silver trading there.
Messrs. Kracht & Murphy, bull
lion dealers of New York, call
attention to the fact that silver
shipments from this country for
November, December and Jan.
uary amounted to more than
$21, 5000 against but $780,
600 from London, showing that
New York is the market where
largest supplies are available.
This is further evident in the
fact that London dealers are
now trading against the New
York equivalent London price
or an additional premium; that
is, they are paying the higher
New York price based upon
their own quotations.
It is reported in the press that
the German government would
require about 100000 ounces
for its new silver marks and also
that it was paying q premium in
the London market on new sill.
yer purchases. 1t is quite likely
that organization of the new
gold bank under direction of the
reparations experts will temper
arily delay any large consump.
ton of this character. Germany
is silver buyer in this country
and can secure supplies at the
regular market price so that it
is doubtful that it would pay q
premium in London.
The new Russian silver issue
is in 5, 10 and 20 cent pieces and
will shortly include so and 75-
cent pieces also. Total to be
placed in circulation as soon as
possible, is more than $50, ,000,.
