on MONDAY, the 20th day of April, cabled to them that their sub-1912, at 8 mm. stituted silver, which had beon hurried across land to' Brindisi, had caught safely the P. & 0. stoomer whose cargo would be in time to make good delivery for the Bombay-April ́ søttlement.
"There are two indications that the market is becoming more nor mal. Ono is that the fluctuations in price are less violent and in- cessant; the other, that forward silver commands a premium. In the condition that has obtained for so long, nuinely, the existence of a huge stock of visible silver, it is certainly more natural that the forward price should be quotably botter than the cash price. The fluctuations through- out the week have kept within fairly narrow limits. Since the 20th instant forward silvor has been quoted 1/16d, above silver for delivery within a week.
