The High Dollar

At the present time there is good deal of anxiety fell by ex port nerohanta as to the futurs of silvor. A few remarks ther anent may therefore not be out of place. The high rate of or ohange at present ruling in Ulina tends directly against the export- er, while distinctly favouring the importer, but unfortunately for the latter China is now very much overloaded with imports. The question asked at the moment i therefore:"What is to be the fature of silver? The answer is, of course: Nobody can tell with oorisinty. But those who have the ordinary amount of perception, coupled with years. of cxperionos, think that a fall in the price of silver is inevitable. No doubt the Indian Government has and to come into the market for the purchase of silver in London poss of mining rupees to keep up at enhanced prices for the par

the current reserves in Bombay and Calcutta, which reserves are subject to the trade requirementa of the country. The crops in India are reported to be even above the abnormal product of last year, and this prosperous condition of the country's har veste cannot, but cause a greater airculation of rupees. The time must however inevitably arrive when India will beco to a seller of silver instead of a buyer, and when that time arrives unless China, the only silvor standard country now oxisting comes into the market, for the purchase of silver, a heavy fall in the gold price of silver will probably follow.
