PURCHASES or STIVFR.
Under Carlisle's Construction of the Law

WASHINGTON. July 24-There were
$4,000 ounces Of silver offered Cor sale
at the Treasury Department. at prices
ranging from 1915 to 1860. to-day per
ounce, al OF which was declined. and
$500 rendered
This afternoon 5000 ounces were pur-
chased at this counter offer.
There is no expectation OF purchasing
the fun quota OF 100000 ounces OF silver
per month. Acting Director Preston
states that the department, II II falls to
purchase the full quota this month. Will
not make up the deficit next month. That
is. II only 2,50OO00 ounces OF silver are
purchased this month. the department
will not purchase the 10000 ounces short
this month and the i.JO0OO0 ounces next
month. the usual monthly purchase. Each
months purchase will stand by itself
and thus ~ may happen that at the
end OF the fiscal year the aggregate pur-
ch9ses instead Of being 5i.00O000 ounces.
may be only half that amount.

chased under the law will OF course,
