Silver and Shanghai Cash Position
In our last week's review we point- ed out that Shanghai will have to get accustomed to seeing permanently higher cash balances in the vaults af local banks, habit which is at too difficult to adopt and maintain. But balances here continue to increase to

a considerable extent, while there are
indications as yet of an
outlet of silver. As long as this is the case silver is not likely to rise permanent- ly to any extent. It is thought that the Nanking mint may open shortly and work apart from the Hangchaw mint, which has been in operation for werks.

THE RECENT FAIR AT BIRMINGHAM
Though a pleasant, it has become almost a monotonous duty to record an annual increase in the size of the building required to house the exhibits at the British Industries Fair at Bir mingham, due in no small measure, to the additional demand for space on the part of firms engaged in the en- gineering industry. It would not ba unnatural to assume from this that this industry, in parte deplorable con- was rapid- ly

to seek it is necessary. some other explanation for the phenomenal growth of the buildings at Castle Bromwich. We believe that this will be found in an increasing realisation of the fact that the Fair has special features which differentiate from. other exhibitions held through- out the country, and that comparison with such great Continental fairs as 12 13 that held aimually at Leipzig is more against silver. Conjointly than a mere idle compliment to the there exists a tendency to hoard silver promoters.
The Fair is in a category in times of stress and draw it away from commercial traffic.
