MUCH SILVER EXPORTED
TO IMDIA LAST YEAR
During 1912 I lie government- of
India purchased silver to the val
ue of $30,000,000. As that coun
try is prosperous, it is figured tha4
large adidtional purchases wilt be
made during the present year.
This is one of ihe factors which
it is believed will do much toward
maintaining the present price of
the metal. Another factor of some
importance is the gradual bring
ing of China hack to normal con
ditions, when the commercial
needs of Ihe country will demand
a larger portion of silver. The
finances of Ibis country have re
cently been arranged upon a basis
of 32 to t, which would place an
approximate value upon the sil
ver of around 65 cents an ounce.
Still another factor in the situ
ation is the proposed loan of
$125,000,000 to China. These
factors are lending In hold the
price of silver around Ihe pres
ent (|uoial ion.

NEW YORK CITY
GETS SUBWAYS
Fight of Several Years for Better
Transportation Finally Won
by the People.
New York, March 30.—The
hoard of estimate signed the dual
subway plans calling for two sets
of tunnels, four tracks wide, con
necting all the boroughs of the
city at an expenditure of $300,
000,000, I lie city to pay part of
the cost and the lnterurban &
Brooklyn Rapid Transit company
the balance.
The contract also provides for
the third tracking of the elevat
ed railway system, which is own
ed by the (tonhis and operated by
the lnterurban road. The Goulds,
however, will tight the company
from third-tracking the elevated,
because of the danger to tlie per
petual franchise now owned by
(hem on certain, streets. The
franchise was given in the days
when life franchises were given
by cities and is now of great val
ue and the third tracking would
seriously affect its value.
The Brooklyn railroad lias had
$50,000,000 borrowed for more
than a year upon which the inter
est charges were $5,000 a day and
were unable to use it because of
the dday in signing the con
tracts.
The new subway also connects
with the system now in operation
and also eonneels the Pennsyl
vania station, which formerly had
no connection with I he city sub
way.
The contracl also provide- dial
the city may purchase I tie roads
at llie end of ten years.
