COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CONTROL OF SILVER PRICES, Plans are under way, according to New York reports, for the creation by leading silver pro- ducing companies of an export combination under the Webb. Law. The New York Times states an endeavour to control- the world price of silver is the objective behind the plans for the formation of a silver export com- pany, now regulated by an arbitrary fixing of values by a committee of three, the "Silver Triumvirate, in London. The reaction of silver from $1.20 per öz, the maximum reached-when the white metal" was thrown into the open market, to $1.10 is be- lieved in the United States to have been brought about by European combination.
STNEL
According to the Osaka Asahi about 7,000 tons of American steel railz are now on the way to Japan by the Blue Funnel steam- er Cyclops, which left Seattle on the 10th ultima: The import; is said to be part of a consignment aggregating: 12,000 tons, which was ordered from America some' time ago and of which 5,000 tons have already arrived in Japan The steamer carries 500 tons of valves and 8,000 bales of raw cotton. The greater part of the consignment will be landed at Yokohama. It may be added that the domestic demand..for 12 lb. rails is large, an the price stands at Y4,200 per mile at present. Sellers are very optimis- tic and are not anxious to dispose of stocks. Their present holdings they bought at about Y800 to ¥1,000 during war time. Both pig iron and bar also enjoy a fairly good demand.
JAPANESE COPPER.
Till very recently, the Japanese copper market was very firm, in view of the expected post-bellum demand. But it is now becoming depressed owing to a discoursg- ing report from England and America Hitherto, the enter- prising Japanese merchants, en- couraged by the tempting price of Y80 per 100 kin have been buying large quantities of the metal in American and English markets. It is said that they have already secured 30,000 tons in those markets which they intended to re-sell in foreign markets, The worst time. however, has now come, sasays the rumour, owing to foreign telegrams reporting that the British and American Govern- ments have decided to put some restrictionts upon the disposal of copper for export, with a view to checking the abnormal rise of the domestic markets. The new rule, ramoor, says is that consignments ordered by Japanese or any other foreigners are not allowed to be resold in Britain or America and but that they must be exported directly to tho countries from which orders have" come. The story sounds more like ose created by the workings of guilty consciences, or perhaps. for still further manipal. ating the market, than an actual fact Such Anglo-American identity of action is, to say the least, rare. On the 29th ultimo, prices dropped to Yil to Y72 from Y80 and yet nobody was anxious. to buy. The market threatens to continue to fall in view of the expected large imports, partical- arly because the recent boom in the Prime Minister introduced in shortage of stocks in Japan bat to Japan was not due to the actual the House of Commons gives all the general expectation of world- the necessary powers.
