The citizens of Raleigh seem to be moving m earnest in the matter of securing the location of the State Inj dnstrial School in that city. As yet ! no town or city in the State has man if ested enodgh of interest in this sub ject to try to comply with the condi tions of the appropriation made by the legislature, and it is not altogether certain that Raleigh will do bo now, though the . movers in the matter seem to be in dead earnest. The act of - the legislature providing for the establishment at an industrial school reads as follows, Section 1. That the board of agri culture is hereby authorized and di rected to seek proposals of donations for the establishment of an industrial school, and when anyjity or town shall donate in lands, buildings, ma chinery or other materials, or money in amount adequate in the Judgment of said board fpr the establishment of said industrial school, it shall' be their duty to locate ihe same at such place. 'And if there be more than one city or town making such .proposals, it shall be the duty of t&e board to locate it at the place offering the greatest inducement. . ' Sec. 2. The board of agriculture shall direct t&e organization v and equipment cf the said school, and shall manage &Qd con urol the same in conjunction with a board of three directors, appointed by the board of aldermen oi the city or town whose proposal is accepted. The local board directors may sit with the board of agriculture m - advisement upon all matters pertaining to . the said school, out shall not have po wer to vote upon questions involving appropriations txotn the xunds ot the department of agriculture. bee 4L Tkat instruction shall be provided in tkis school in woodwork, mining, metallurgy, (practical agrK culture, nd in such ither branches of , industrial ed ucation as may be deemed expedient. tsec. 4. That the board of agncul tare shall apfg3y to the establishment and maintenance of said school such part of their funds as is not required to conduct the regular work of the department. Provided, that no more than .$5,000 of their funds shall be ap plied to the establishment of the school in anyone year. Sec. 5. That this act shall be in force from and after its ratification. In the general assembly, read three times, and ratified this the 11th day of March, A. I 1885. ' In pursuance of this act the board of agriculture have advertised its readiness to receive and consider pro posals, but up to the present time, as far as we know, Raleigh is the only place that had made any proposals worthy of consideration. The Ral eigh stockholders oi the late indus. trial exposition have made a tender to the board of the buildings used for the exposition, which will do for a start. A committee composed of citizens and representatives of the Watauga Club, which is doing a good work, have issued a call for amass meeting to be held Wednesday night to see what further steps may be taken, and additional inducements offered to make the school a success and secure its location at Raleigh. The movers in this enterprise have our heartiest good wishes. We have no particular preference as to the point of location, but desire to see it at soma central point, and as Raleigh shows the vim and interest enough to make the effort to have it there, we hope the movement will succeed, and the school become an established m t . mi A A J . .

M., jnov. 9 The mes seneer who brought news here of the killing of Mrs. Shy and her son Sat urday, was so excited that he gave an incorrect account of the Indian outrage on the Missouri-Florida cat tie company's ranche. - Mr. Shy's house was attacked, but he with his wife and son managed to escape and arrived here today. Only one of the familv was injured, Mr. fejhy's son. who was wounded in the thigh. It appears, however; that John Teater and wife, fromTitt county, Mo., who left here Saturday for the Florida Missouri ranche, were : murdered by Indians within live miles of their des tination. . Capt. Chaffee and the com pany who were sent in pursuit of the marauders were surprised by the In dians. One scout was killed and a soldier wounded. .

Dr. Soetbeer, the eminent authori" ty on the statistics of gold and silver, has recently published in Europe a continuation of his earlier conclu sions, and has brought his figures in regard to the world's production of gold and silver down to the end of 1884: Estimates are given for the production of gold and silver through- in the industrial arts, and for the an-UHt UNUSUAL RSOUCTIOS offend by them last week, nuai uuw ui mo praiuua meiais iu India, which is still the. disturbing factor in the settlement of a commer cial monetary medium. The value of the gold product in 1884 is placed at $93 000,000, and that of silver at 1120,000,000. These figures mean lits tie, except as taken in comparison with those of previous years. The value of the gold production is seen, however, to be 2 per cent, less than that for 1883, 9 per cent, less than that for 1882, and 13 per cent. less than that , for 1881. Between 1851 and 1860 the annual yield was $134, 000,000, or 30 per. cenk more than that for the past year, and in the succeeding decade, 1861-1870, it was 25 per cent.' greater. Thus has the production decreased, not only since tne golden period oi iou, out year by year since 1880. The next vital question to the financier is the use to which this product is put. It' was calculated by Dr. Soetbeer in 1880 that the annual consumption of gold in the industrial arts' among civilized countries amounts to nearly $56,000,000. Of this total sum the United States was credited with less than $9,000,000. The last report of the Director of the Mint (that for 1884) shows that that estimate for the united States - is too small, and, ac cording to his inquiries,. $14,000,000 would be nearer the truth, for that year at all events, if not for the pre- ceeding ones. The sum of $56,000,- 000 may. therefore be regarded as au under-estimate rather than as an exs aggera$ion It this be .true, then there was left of the gold production of 1884, the sum of $37,000,000 to be converted into a monetary instru ment: A large portion of gold goes to India, and apparently finds a per manent abiding-place in that country. Every year the exports of gold from Europe to Asia are largely in excess of the imports. In 1884 the excess of this importation of gold into India over the exportation was - valued at $26,000,000, and in 1883 at $23,000,0001 Since 1870" this movement has been growing stronger and stronger. From 1871 to 1880 tnis average annual exs cess was less man f a.uuu.uuu, ana from that figure it has grown to a sum thrice as large. - ; The fortunes of silver for the same period now deserve consideration.: As ... . . m i we nave seen, ine production oi xnis metal in '84 is valued at $120,000,000. As is well known, the increase in the silver product has been steadily ad vancing, and last year saw no ex ception. While gold production for 1884 was 2 per cent, less than that for 1883 that of silver was 2 per cent. greater. It was also 11 per cent, in advance of that for 1881 and 25 per cent, in excess of the average annual output in the decade 1871-1880. It is unnecessary to go back of the year 1870 to see the enormous develops ments in the mining of silver. Since the decade 1851 60 the gam has been more that 300 per cent. The annual consumption of this metal in the in dustrial arts is reckoned by Dr. Soetbeer at a value of about $20,000,- 000, oronesixth or last years pro duct. Of gold, however, it will be remembered, about two-thirds are converted into purposes of the arts. The flow of silver toward India has not maintained the same uniform current which has been character istic of gold since 1870. From 1871 to 1880 the average annual net impor tation of silver into English India was valued at $27,000,000; in 1881 and 1882 it was considerably less; in 1883 ; it was $35,000,000, while last year it was in the neighborhood of $30,000,000. From one fourth to one- third of the gold product, accompa nied by ne-fourth of the white metal, makes its way into the com mercial prison-house of India, it would not be correct to add to the amount used in the arts the sums carried into India in order to learn what remains for European coinage. A portion of that which is consumed for industrial purposes is included under the figures for India. From the last report of our Director of the Mint we learn that only $67,529 was coined at the India mints in 1883, which would indicate that no incon siderable fraction of the bullion sent eastward was used for other purposes than that of money.
