J FINANCIAU London Predicts Higher Silver Prices A report from Lon.lon, England, states that China's decisive action to check exports of silver has thrown the far Eastern t-xchange position into a state of confusion. It comes, of course, as the climax to a sen-j of unsuccessful representations to the United State.' Gove; rrr-nt to modify its â- liver buying policy and may well have far roachinp; result^. What those results may be cannot yet be -au?ed with any dearree ol accuracy, but some immedirfe effects can be stated. The sterling value of the Shant^hai dollar has dropped since last Monday by more than 14 per cent, while the official rate at which sterling is now quoted -s •ijuivalent, with equalization charges for export duty, to approximately 'Jli per cent. This of cour.»e, is quite prohibitive, and the Chirese (.lovernmcml has achieved its objective, stopping silver t^xports in one bouno. The check imposed upon China's export trade by the rise of silver anci consequent appreciation of the Shanghai dollar was an impoi'^ant aspect of the situation in the Kast ignored by silver enthusiasts in the United States, although the Washington administration must have had ample warning ot what might happen long before it finally decided upon its own silver policy. China in effect is now off the silver standard and i? one of tne coun- tries with a managed currency. (Jhina is fighting resolutely to avoid a cur- rency crisis and maybe she has taken the correct action, but for the time being something like chaos exists, and how the situation will finally develop cannot be now estimr/tod. It has been suggested that China mi.trht be driven to adopt the gold standard, but such a sten appears extremely unlikely now. It seems to be established, however, that the argtiment that prosperity would be restored to the Kast by a rise in silver is fallacious. As there is now no direct tie between .silver and Shanghai excnange silver is mo^^ng indepen<'er'lly. Within one month it has advanced 3d, or about 14 per cent, in that period speculation has become world-wide and has been based on the belief now confirmed that China would be forced to place an embargo on silver exports, thus removing one of tne large.-^t sources of supply. The wide fluctuations now occurring clearly indicate extensive specu- lative position, which is more likely to be maintained or even increa-ed rather than checked by China's action and the evident determination of the United States to continue its purchases. Still higher prices are regarded as likely, although the heavy bull position will from time to time cause taharp reactions.

Wellington, N.Z. â€" Unless early and effective mea.'iures are taken to res- cue New Zealand's dairy industry trum its p.eenr state, there will be a general breakdown in financial re- lations between mortgagors and mort- gagees making it impossible for New Zealand to meet overseas debt Inter- est charges, it was declared in the report of the Royal Commlialon which made an exhaustive enquiry into ;he dairy Industry. Conditions confronting the dairy Industry have assumed the propor- tions of a national crisi', the report declared. It mentioned that the Brit- ish market was being flooded by tlie subsidized dairy produce from coun- tries of the northern hemisphere, and .Australia was also increa-'lng ber dajry output. Among other things the oommia- siun suggested that alternative mar. kets be found outside Britain tor New Zealand's produce. It urged early approach to the government of the United Kingdom in order to arrive at a preliminary understanding and provide the basis tor future negoti- ations. The government should also make available at low rates ot In- terest to farmers and dairy produc- ers sufficient funds to eniaibia the modernization of farm and factory equipment and appliance', the report urged.

Figured In terms of Canadian funds, output for the period amounted to ?52,29S.353 as against $37,047,850 last year. The Kirkland Lake camp still leads the way in point of value with total for the nine ruiUhs ot 125,771,430 as compared with Porcupine's $24,440,- 889. North western Ontario figures went over the two million dollar mark an Increase ot around 80 per cent over the 1933 figures and from now on It would seem likely that a steady increase in production may be antic- ipated from this section. Wright Horgreaves Mines In its report (or the fiscal year eding August 31st, Wright Hargreaves Mines Ltd. shows net surplus tor the year of $3,836,131 which to equal to nearly seventy cents per share.

Biit activ- ity still surrounds her. Seven Turbo-generator sets, developing 10,000 kilowatts and forming the greatest power station afloat, will be put in position. Three gigantic funnels, measuring 30 feet in diameter and 100 feet in circumference, fifteen months later will be placed. Simultaneous with this, work is under way on the deck coverings, the ventilating system, erection of cabins and public rooms, laying of teak decks, building of compenionways and ladders, erection of detk machinery, etc. So it would seem that the launching, while oi great interest to the public, is only one of the many details when a great ship is in the making. for the year ending August 31st am- ounted to $275,302 as compared with $286,166 in the previous fiscal period. Increased deduotions for depreciat- ion and bad debts, however reduced the earnings per preferred share to $4.0< as against $4.73 last year. Working capital showed a small in- crease at $965,468 while inventories were up at $1,966,602 an increase of some $342,000. Accounts receivable were reduced to $627,029 as compared with $669,220. Bank loans and ac- counts i>ayable both showed increases at $779,000 and $931,872 reepectlvely. Noranda Rumors Spiked Rumors which were said to origin- ate in New York regarding Canadian copper mines, were promptly given official denial, Insofar as Noranda waa concerned. Mr. J. Y. Murdoch, the President stated that the company has its copper sold in advance and that it is tar ahead in Its sales. At the mine monthly production is running at the rate of about 6.000.000 pounds of copper and gold output is around 19,000 ounces or better per month. It Is estimated that gold pro- duction Is worth approximately $700,- 000 per month at the present price of gold. It seems likely that another divi- dend declaration can be expected when the directors meet early in November. To date this year $1.00 a share has been paid while last year total dlsbursments for the year were $1.60 per share. With profits said to be running well over $2.60 per share daring the current year It would seem Ukely that at least as much as last year may be anticipated before the year closes.
