LONDON OPINION.
An opinion against the likelihood of the stabilisation of silver by international agreement is expressed in the annual bullion letter publish- ed by Mesars, Samuel Mon. tagu and Co., the well-known London bullion merchants. On the future outlook, it is pointed out that even in times of undisturbed political conditions it has been a matter of difficulty to attempt a forecast of the trend of silver, and to do so at the present time presents even
more difficulties.
