We were able to put on record yesterday that the price of bar silver was the highest | quotation touched since the sun mer of 1901. The strength of the metal is believed to be the outcome of purchases for the Indian Govern- ment, this impression being confirmed by the amount of the stock of silver in the Currency Department. There has been a marked de- pletion in the silver reserve for some weeks past, and with India in a condition of pros perity, it is incumbent upon the Government to hold a sufficient stock of silver to redeem a considerable portion of its notes should they be presented for payment. Yesterday's spurt naturally gave a fillip to Mexican railway secu rities, a favourable spot in markets with other. wise little that was encouraging,

This situation explains the visit of Eng Hok. Fong, president of the China Commercial Steamship Company, who passed through San Francisco a few weeks ago en route to the City of Mexico. President Eng's company established a line of steamers à few months ago for the purpose of transporting Chinese labourers to Mexico. Manzanillo was made the port of call in Mexico, from which port the steamers have been coming to San Francisco before returning home to pick up cargo for the return trip. The first two steamers that made the trip to Mexico landed in the neighbourhood of 1,300 Chinese labourers. The steamship company had figured on supplying about 8,000 or 10,035 labourers to the Mexican Central and Mexican International railroads; but after the first two cargoes of labourers had been landed the Mexican Government shut its doors lemporarily to further Asialíc. ¡mmigration, owing to the prevalence of pla, ue among the coolies.
