THE PHILIPPINE CURRENCY.
The Manila Times, of a recent date, reports that there is considerable disappointment in commercial and financial circles because the Philippines Commission adjourned its Benguet sessions without making any announcement as to the plan under which the new curren y is to be introduced and the old currency converted. It is known that the subject was discussed at length by the commissioners but it is im possible to obtain a hit as to the policy upon which they decided. The government is evidently determined to delay action until it is in a position to make the change and in such manner as to protect the general public as far as possible.
Meantime silver continues to advance in the markets of the world and the price is such that silver can be shipped from here in San Francisco and sold at a nice profit. It was worth 30 at San Francisco yesterday and the difference between that price and the Manila rite would readify pay freight and insurance and leave a go d margin of profit besides, There has been a heavy movement of silver away from here but i: has not been as great as the speculative opportunity would see 10 warrant. It is evident that holders of silver here are awaiting the action of the govemment before deciding what they will do with their metal,

situation which confronted the government when
it first made plans for establishing a stable curr. ncy. It was then thought that the government would take a handsome profit in seigniurage but that prospect grows slimmer as the price of the white metal soars upwards. As a matter of fact the price at Manila has not kept pace with the actual price of the metal in the markets which ordinarily control the matter. Yesterday silver sold here at 11 points above the San Francisco price and at varying rates above the price in other cities including those of the Orient. It will therefore be in teresting to know whether the government in fixing the rate of conversion will follow the price here, or elsewhere. Speculation upon the question is rather futile, however, for while the silver market seems very firm now there may be a chance at any time and the govern- ment may decide to cross the bridge only when it reaches it.
