The pearl fishing industry of the Philippine Islands, which heretofore has yielded the Govers - mest about $25,000 annual revenue and furnished employ- ment to about 1,010 men, i8 practically ded, as a result of the Ics of the Europeaa market for shell, due to the war. Those interested in the industry are now trying to get the legislature to mcdify the law which authoriseA municipalities to fix the tax apon! pearl fishing within their respec- live jurisdictions. This would permit fishing under more favour- able circumstacres along the coasts in the Visayar. At present the various municipalities act
a licer of tax on pearl fishing, varying from $50 to $500 per year, according to one authority. These rates are considered pro- hibitive, and as a result practical- ly the whole pearl fleet of the islands is confined to the walera about Jolo, At present there is Freotically no activity, Thecom- plaint of the pearl fishere against the municipal licence system row în vogue in the Vayas, is that One licence permite the faber to operate only in the jurisdiction of the municipality suing the licence; whereas the exigencies of fiabing requien frequent shift- ing of positions according to the weather. To pay a new licence to every municipality makes the operation of the law a prohibition on pearl faking in the Visayas.

The Silver Market.
London, Feb. 19-The tone of the silver market has oontioned: good. For a few days the prices remained at about 2zid., and a very fair amount of business was transseted, as there were sel era willing to meet the requiremente of the Continent and Tadis. Since then the cfferings have been very light, and insuficient to meet even the present moderate demand, The quotation in consequence has advanced to 22 15-10d., at which level the morket is quietly steady, bat with no prodorned tendency. A shipment of 150,000 ozs. has been made from San Francisco to Hoogkong.
