SILVER SPECULATION.
1424.
From the latest information to hand it appers (says the Pioneer) that the silver! speculators in Bouky and London have still about four million sterling invested in silver bars. Not in long ago their holdings | considerably excveral that Gigare. When consideration is given to the fact that, out- side silver bars held by varios governs ments for coinage purposes, the vibe supply of that metal Wi recently valued at about seven millions ster ling, the jungnitude of the operations of the speculators is readily seen. Their "rigging" the market has certainly interfered very seriously with legitimate business, A.one dues not know exactly whether to feel glad or sorry to learn that they very nearly over-reached themselves a short time back by "loading up" too $50++). Fortunately or unfortunately an unexpected demand from China relieved the pressure. If the "einer "had failed, As it came within an ace of doing, it is difficult to say now..what would have_bap. poned had the enormous quantity of silver held up. beca suddenly, let loose on the arket, but it in wt at all bupr-bable that the Government of India, wouhl have sapped up some of it Frm coinage Jump if course the game of the specialors is to sit tighs til the Indian Goverb comnes forward us a large pair- eliser, and then to umload at as Jurgo a prits en bompterzu out of the market. It was fully beijavel that purchases for Indian coinage world, have to hay made before the close of1910, nt Sir Guy Fleet- ward Wilson has managed to hold of sa înr, and I left the speculators with an Chamous holding on which they have the pleasure of paying my six per cent. by way of interest, and that percentage per sonum an four millions sterling moun sane- thing difly. So far, however, the specula- tors are not apparently dissatisfied with their lot, and they have by no means lost confidence in their ability to catch the Government of India in the near fuluio, The harvests of both. India and Chica are good and it requires an impicasa amam of silver to finance them, while Bo tendency towards latter governinent in the Celestial Empire is also a tendency towards better traile and prosperity, which, being interpreted, muonaḤ Enore silver, for Hülver and wealth mean the wo thing in China, So in the opinion of the speculatore, the outlook is rony. On the other hand, the title of reckoning will come must come and the fate of the corner will depend on the result. In the.. early spring the demand from Chine Falls alfaff the all-important question in Itin thou in ; In the coming inonsoon to be a Mccess or failura If the falling off in the Chinn deinend is not excesive and if ar next carp-procima to is a good ne then it certainly looks if the poculiters will be able to materialise their hopes and lang" the Government of fndin if otherwise they stand a fair chance of being bagged the mautres..

While a description of Ball's Distemper is no doubt superfluous, we beg to remind Architects, Builders, and flouseholders of the following special paints
It is made in two qualities-The Iaside quality is the modern scientific substitute for wall-paper; it makes a more artistic, practical, and healthier wall covering altogether.
The Outside quality is fully weather resisting, it can be used on wood work, iron work, brick work, atone, etc., and can be pointed or varnished;
Hall's-Distemper no doubt owes a great deal of its popularity to its ease of application and, great covering power, resulting in economy in hoth material and labour costs. I eat, will cover double the surface of 1 cut, pure white lead, it dries evenly, overcoming the difficulty of obtaining a uniform lint on
plain walls.
There is no wall covering so hygienic as Ball's Distemper. It contains n powerful germicide, nullien applied it is instant death to all insect life. It i washable after three weeks by being lighty sponged with warm water.
Special Note-Hill's Distemper should not be confused with the many so call Washable Distempers now offered for sale, nor with that clion of material which requires elalicrate preparation of walls. Fall's Distemper is a unique preparation with entirely distinct advantages, and is made only by Sissons Brothers & Co, Ltd., Hell, and London, Sile Agents for South Chin
