N e w York, Feb. 26.— Silver bullion
sold at the highest price today that it
has reached in many months. There
was an apparently good consul demand,
which advanced the rate to 70 cents.
The rise was sharp, and in sympathy
with an upward movement in London.
Zimmerman A- For*hay and Handy At
Harman, bullion dealers, and Edward
Bosh, of the Kansas City Smelting A
Refining Company, declared that they
did not know of any definite cause for
the improvement. They did not agree
that the advance was due to specula­
tion, or that it would be sustained.
The facts are that silver sold as low
as 59c, and the price ranged about 60c
for six mouth». There was. by rea­
son of adverse legislation, material cur­
tailment of production.
Shrewd people, who knew the com­
mercial value of silver, began cautious­
ly buying and accumulating bullion.
A large amount has been absorbed for
export, a legitimate Continental de­
mand having prevailed for a long time.
The supply has also been reduced by
the demand for manufacturing pur­
poses.
For ten months the price was fluctu­
ating about 60c, and during the past
three weeks and until yesterday 69c
was the quotation
The advance has
taken so long as to escape general at­
tention. Simultaneously with the ad­
vance came decided improvement in
mining stocks, which is regarded as
significant of a revival of interest in
silver mines and brighter prospects.
Seventy-five cent silver means much to
the great industry and would undoubt­
edly produce another silver boom.
Exchange on India has been keeping
pace with the strong tone of the silver
market, and in Loudon yesterday was
at the top notch. A t the same time
production has not kept pace with the
demand, the miners having turned
their attention to gold-digging.
