It is also worth recalling that towards the end of the year, the Polish Government completed arrangements for the purchase of about six and a half million ounces of silver, but most of this was secured from Belgium in the form of demonetised coin. After taking account of all the circumstances, it was found that the Far East con- tinued to be the main outlet for allver, and, as was stated at the re cent Hongkong Bank meeting China's consumption reached a re- cord figure. The bulk of the silver absorbed in China, was minted into dollars, and an important factor for the future will be whether the demand for these coins will con- tinue.
Even such experts as Samuel Montagu and Co. realise that to outline the possible course of silver presents a difficult problém, and they assert that any attempt to forecast would be ill-advised con- sidering the particular facts which, as far as can be seen, aro most likely to govern the situation.
There still looms over the future the probability of further sales by the Indian Government. On the other hand, we have seen how the market has been maintained, in the face of increased supplies, by the capacity of the Far East to consume silver, aud, say these experts, it in the East, particularly China, that will continue to be the dominating in fluence in the trend of ailver prices in the future.
