THE HEAVY DECLINE IN THE SILVER MARKET.

ITS EFFECT ON JAPAN.

The Jayan Chronicle of 13th inst. saya; The London silver market, which declined to 361d, on Monday, the lowest point reached this year, declined by id. further on Tuesday making the lowest record since 1925. The rats of exchange upon Shanghai on demand rose to 774 thels, a rise of about 2 tacis in four days, and the market for marine pro- duce (dried Awabi, seaweed, &c.) io Kobe has been seriously affected. As the Chinese mer- chants have been obliged to suddenly stop their purchases by reason of the depreciation in silver, this branch of business is almost at a standstill

In Osaka anxiety has arisen as to the future of cotton yarn, which is ad much affected by

the silver market in China. This has resulted

declins in the market on the Three Articles;

in a

Exchange (Cotton Yarn and Fabrics and Raw Cotton). The low price of cotton yarn has affected the price of spinning, shares on the Stock Exchange, which, combined with the decline in other shares, has resulted in cod siderable depreciation in the value of securities hald by the banks, this of course in turn affect ing the money market,

While the decline in silver restricts exports from Japan to Chipa, it encourages the import from that country. The export of copper 19 China has also bien affected, and the year will close with a large accumulation of stocks. It is expected that the advance in price of commodi ties in Chiua dus to the rise in silver will ultimately affect the export of goods tó japan,

On Tuesday the quotations of yarn on the Osaka Three Articles Exchange for December delivery closed at V17.15; decline of Y1.40 on the rate on the previous day. January de livery was quoted at Y115.00, a decline of of V1.80, and February delivery at Y114.99, & decline of Y 1.95.
