According to telegraphic advices from authorita- tive sources received in Shanghai to-day, the United States purchased 9,000,000 ounces of silver on Saturday. states a Reuter despatch.
According to despatches from London, India was a heavy seller on Saturday and China also contributed to the unloading total, while America purchased heavily. The silver market closed steady.
In Bombay, Reuter learns, silver dropped from Friday's close of 73 rupees six annas to 70 rupees six annas, which is one of the most rapid declines of recent weeks. There was heavy nervous liquidation and stop- loss orders due to apprehension of sharp decline in
London.
Silver prices were down 5/16tbs spot and 3-8ths forward in Lon- don on Saturday. America's heavy buying was of the large amount offered chielly by India. The market closed steady.
Silver in Bambay declined three rupees on Saturday, but is expected to show a recovery to- day.

NAVY'S TASK ON
CHINA COAST
IS PIRACY PATROL WORTH WHILE?
UNEMPLOYED MIGHT BE USED AS GUARDS
By J. R. LUKE
During the past seven years the British Navy has maintained a continuous patrol along the South China coast in the prevention and suppression of piracy at a cost of something like £3,000 a year.
Is this expenditure justified in the light of past experience?
It will probably be conceded, after taking all aspects of this special service into consideration, that the main- tenance of the patrols in the future, as at present organised, is not worth while. In this I think I am right in claiming the association of those on the China Station who are actively connected with the anti-piracy. service.
