SILVER OF THE WORLD.
CANADA'S PART IN ITS PRODUCTION.
In a recent issue of the Ottawa Journal a merchant interested in trade with China writes:
The recent report of Cobalt production shows that Canada is how the third largest producer of silver in the world, the other three countries being Mexico, the United States and Australia. The world's production may be taken at 200,000,000 ounces, Canada's proportion at Cobalt and in British Columbia for last year exceeded 34,000,000 ounces, of, say, one-sixth of the whole, and if the Cobalt deposits, now found only in diabam and conglomerate, continue as recently reported in the Keewatin forrna- tion, then this proportion will be main- tained, or even exceeded. The question for Canada is therefore most important. The used to which silver are applied are chiefly three:--In the arts" and for domestic appliances there are at least 100,000,000 ounces used per annum, and this is increasing. India and China between them absorb at least 60,000,000 Lomnices. The coinage stock of the world in about 2,700,000,000 ounces, the wastage is about 1.4 per cent. per annum, and the increase of population, say, 1 per cent., may be taken to require an increase of the same, nutnber of ounces. We have | therefore fully 33,000,000 ounces of silver used annually for coinage. Besides the above there are some sundry purposes to which silver is applied, but these do not amount to any quantity which would affect the market price.
The stocks of silver are very large. London and Bombay cach carry about 15,000,000 ounces, in Shanghai fully [31,000,000 ounces is sometimes held, and there is usually at sen about 6,000,000 ounces, making a stack aggregating about 67,000,000 ounces, ΟΥ one-third of an entire year's production.

Some of the buying and selling of silver in London is done by merchants on time bargains as a hedge against possible alterations in the exchange rates with China.
Assuming the circulation only increased by about six cents per bead, it would absorb about fifty million ounces more than at present, about a half of the whole world's production. The future usage of silver in China appears also to be fairly certain. Just before the revolution broke out the Peking Government had arranged for a loan of £10,000,000, Alty million dellars, to introduce a fixed coin- age on a gold basis, but when carried out the actual consumption will still be chiefly silver.

Further.on
"Food of any kind was utterly distaste- ful to me; sickness and suffering both day and night had reduced me to a weak, miserable and irritable invalid."
Little wonder that she regarded her case es "helpless and almost hopeless." The very food which was necessary to sustain life and strength in her was "distasteful," and failed to nourish her.

- FLUCTUATIONS IN PRICE
The fluctuations in the price of silver have been very great. Forty years ago it was worth 81.25 an oz. to-day the
value is about 58 cents. It has been as low as 48 cents, but it is unlikely that the metal will have to again feel such shocks as it experienced in 1893, when the Sherman Act was repealed at Washington and the India mints were closed to free coinage.
