 NEW YoRK-The rapid advance in the price of silver bullion yesterday, set wall street thinking. At the first of the month the operations of the big French pool in silver were reported Today it was learned that while there were indications that the first pool was liquidating to some extent an- other pool, also European, had begun to work to the same end and ready to take hold where the first pool left of.
