NOTES OF THE DAY
SILVER'S FUTURE
The action of the United States In fixing the price of allver at 64% cents per ounce and prohibiting silver trading in America, has not provented the silver miner's bowl from overflowing. To-day, instaad of receiving the 644 cents limit price for his metal, the American miner obtains from the Mint 71 conte an ounce. The price has advanced from a little more than 25 conta an ounce in something": more than two years. It would seem that the battle of the United States silver group in the Senate Is far from lost and that their objective of $1,20 per ounce is not altogether an unlikely figure. Of one thing we must not lose sight Far from controlling the destinies of Aliver, the United States can only attempt to accomplish a form of devaluation by boosting the value of the metal. The price of aliver is still fixed daily in Londnu, and that market is still the main factor in determining the world value of the metal, in spite of arbitrary rates in the United States. Whether Great Britain will be pleased at the increase of the silver price and the consequent strengthening of sterling against the dollar, is uncertain. It seems unlikely. There are reasona to be. lieve that the British Control Fund may be brought into netion to steady the dollar-sterling cross- rate, and though some believe that that Fund has dwindled to a point where it is no longer a factor in Aunncial affairs, we do not belleve J In any event, the use of the Control Fund would not affect the price of silver, and, in so far as that metal governs the value of the Hongkong dollar, there is little

"To-day wo go to the pictures," she decided for both of us.
"But, my dear girl, I um absolutely broke," we protested.
"You are always saying that," this in a bantering tone. "Nevertheless, it is a fact," wo asserted.
Once a female makes up her mind' in belloving what she has assumed, the chances nre that nothing will alter it. It becomes part of her credo—in that con- fession of faith which relegates to a mere male the only role in her existence, namely, the means of satisfying a passion for spending and destroying.
