But Ching has been buying extensively 7o "Yet; but he has also been exporting silver to India, partly as a consequence of the demands of the Indian Government, so that really Chinu "has not been taking silver off the world's market to any considerable extent, and the quantity of the metal ship- ptd from this country to China has been comparatively small. It is extremely difficult to ascertain really what the inside position is in the Far East, but, su fer as, one can judge, it ecems improbably that Chine with be a large importer of the metal for some time to come, unless the price falls to a phenainenal extent, and that I think unlikely, though it would not be astonishing."

Incidentally, I may mention that there is a somewhat unusual accumulation of silver in London, and this is having its effect on the market.
