BILYER MARKET.

LONDON, April 30th. Memre. Montagu's report on the silver market of April 29th says:-The fall of price is due to a sudden cessation of Indian inquiry, apparently owing to the exchange position in China. The United States is said to be overstocked with Eastern come modities, and unsatisfactory conditions in Japan are considered to be against pur"" chases from China and India. As far as can be seen Indie is the only possible absor be of silver, and Europe will continue to have more sellers than buyers. Possibly the United States' quotation will fall to a dolis an ounce when the United Btates mint must purchase silver to to place 500,000,000 ounces sold to the East. This will substantially support the mar

WIRELESS.

ITS PRESENT ATATË AND *FUTURE POSSIBILITIES.

"MARCONI SYSTEM.

[By H: FWyatt.]

The system of wireless telegraphy. best known and most widely estab lished is the Marcon, and one has but to look at the marconi map, showing the wireless stations which the company has formed, to appres ciate the extent to which, the earth has been girdled by an agency in comparison with which the speed of a meteorite is sluggish and slow. At Poldhu in Cornwall, at Vigo and " Cadiz in Spain, at various places or Islands, on or off the west coast of Africa, or far in the Atlantic such as Casablanca, Teneriffe, Bathurst, Sierra Leone, Ascuncion, and St. Helena, the connection is maintained until Cape Town is reached.

From Durban up to Adenin Arabia many a station offers the benefits of wireless to the world's sea borne trade, while from Aden the electrons, or the waves in the ether-whichever be the mode of progression-carry the words by their invisible agency to Karachi, to Bombay, and to Colombo, whence again, the mess ages can be conveyed to the Far East or, through the Cocos Islands down to Fremantle, to Adelaide, and to Melbourne, thus welding into the wireless embrace the continent under the Southern Cross.

If we return now to England and start once more, we find the trans- ocean, service working from Carnar von-in Wales, or Clifden in Ireland, to Glace Bay in Nova Scotia, or to Boston, or (for New York) to Belmar in the United States. In North America numerous are the- centres of wireless activity and the impulses which they generate find their gaols alike in Mexico, in the West Indies, and in South America, while trans missions which bridge. the Pacific take their origin frota San Francisco and Darien, the last named being a private station.

The Marconi system is not the only one extant, but its stations have been instanced in view of their num Ber and of the fame of the Company operating them. One question is likely to arise, and that is the comm parative merit of wireless telegraphy in relation to cables. Briefly, the advantages and the disadvantages may be summed up thus: Wire less" is subject to frequent interrup tion through atmospheric conditions. A thunderstorm for instance, is a temporary impediment. Cables on the other hand are immune against any normal electrical disturbances, ́and apart from some actual break. down in their material, they are hardly able to any interruption other than that caused by a magnetic storm, an event of rare occurrence.

Again, the multiplication of wire- less stations is impeded by the clasă of wireless impulses which may thereby be caused. Yet you can have as many cables as you like: Once more, wireless can be tapped far more easily than cables which, given command of the sea, can hard. ly be interfered with during war, through land wires have no such safety,

Against this, may be set the possibility of sending all wigeleda messages in code. Yet, on the whole, undoubtedly a greater secrecy at taches to the use of cables. – As regards the number of words which can be transmitted in a given time, It may be said that at present hon ours are equal. Cable speed has been doubled by the dupler system

It might perhaps be deduced from this comparison that "wireless" has” few if any points of superiority to the older method of communication, That would be a rash assumption. But even admitting its truth, for the sake of argument, this crucial con sideration remains,that the moral of future Invention, invention which never ceases and which produces im "proved results almost every month. is in the nature of the case Hkely to effect far more for communication without-wires than for communica- tion with them. We are but begin. ning to grasp at the fringe of possibl lity, so to speak, in regard to im- Dukes sent through space, while no - great and sudden advance is to be. expected in regard to cables., Morer over wireless telephony fa fooming, like the shadow of a giant, on the berizon of the future, and great may be the change which It will bring.

TRANSPORT BLOCKAGE

INCREASING.

Since Mr. W. Noble, the Presi dent of the Chamber of Shipping, re- cently stated ther steamers were in many cases only doing from one-half to two-thirds of dicir pre-war work in the carriage of goods, owing mainly toʻ the congestion of the ports and the complete breakdown of the land trans- -port system, - the position has become

worse..

Trade of every description is suffering from increasing paralysis: the railways, which never were in such a state of confusion eving to Government interference with their normal working and with the condi tions of labour, are choked, and at all' the principal ports hundreds of ships are held up, adding enormously to the cost of carriage of everything brought ism or sent out of this country. The carrying capacity of the whole mercan- tile marine, the tonnage being actually, larger than on the eve of the war, is Sustaining, owing to these causes, a loss in efficiency of at least 30 per cent. At the same time the wages of seamen have gone up by "200 per cent, all other running charges have gready increased; and the delays which are being experienced-sinca ships are only remunerative when at sea-sre exaggerating the burden of the

cost of living throughout the country..

The tendency, a correspondent writes, is still upwards, and this move- ment will be accelerated by the un- economic price at which coal, under Government control, is being supplied for maritime purpose. Before the war, bunkers were put on board at about 158. a ton, whereas now the price ranges up to 153s. in London, or £7 15s. When it is remembered that normally 1,000,000 tons of coal are used each month by shipping, the in- Auence of this phenomenal movement under Government control on the crdi. nary family budger will be appreciated. The price of coal used in industry is still only about 405. a mon, so that shipping is heavily-handicapped, with results which must become more ap parent every week, for the trade of the whole country is being paralysed by the chaotic condition and high cost of inland and see transport.

MANCHESTER WEEKLY "MARKET REPORT.

The Weekly Market Report of Messrs. James F. Hatton & Co., Manchester, of March 24 states:

During the past week Auctuations in cotton values have been frequent and of a "fairly wide range. This irregularity has been caused to some extent through the unsented foreign political situation and the uncertainty of the new crop outlook has also led to erratic movements in prices. New York has however been steadily bul- lish in tone owing to unfavourable weather news from the cotton growing States and the further improvement " In sterling exchange. The preliminary final report of the Census Bureau, shewing that up to the end of Febru any the total of 11,258,000 bales had beer ginned, as against 11,906,000 bales a year ago proved slightly higher than expected and a weakness ensued which was however only temporary. At Liverpool also there has been a strong undertone and the stability of values, in face of such adverse in- fluence as a lack of trade demand and the events in Germany, has been marked, prices closing higher than a week ago. In the Egyptian section there has been a considerable easing off of the demand and values have again receded. The quietness 'in 'the yarn and cloth markets has become more pronounced and the business done has been of very limited dimen- sions. Buyers shew much less con- fidence all round and the general dis position is to operate as sparingly as possible for the present. Certainly the tone is less settled and the fluctua tions in sterling exchange rates.com- tinua disturbing, and it is realised ther should the situation with regard to America continue to improve, it is but reasonable to expect cheaper".raw material at Liverpool. The weight of opinion is however Arm in the ballet that the demand for manufactured "tót-- ton goods will remain very healthy' for two years at feist and that the pre- sent Julf is but temporary and due to the uncertainty as to the future lever of values. In spite of the lack of“ business, both yan and cloth prices are well maintained, although, there may be a slightly easier. tone in the few cases where producers are not engaged very far ahead. Enquiry for India has been poor; China has dons but little, and all ourets are quieter. The sliver market has been firmer and a strong tone has developed with India and China buying, prices rising appre elably day by day.
