SILVER.
Production of silver has been seri-
ously retarded during current year, by
| reason of long curtailment in copper
output In which silver appears as a
y-product.
There has been an enormous demand
for silver, chiefly for coinage purposes
| and to meet the requirements of India.
Large buying of silver for big holiday
trade will further encroach upon our
| limited reserves. ,@
| No definite plans have been COM
| pIeted for protection of silver prices
| in this country as against quotations
made in London and unfavorable ex-
| change conditions. A combination of
| these circumstances has been costly to
| American silver producers during the
past few months. Sellers here were
| forced to follow the exchange trend
rather than the market price abroad for
their commodity. Already silver is SELL
ing at over 1920 an ounce and predic-
/ tion is made that 1t will touch IL not
pass the gold parity point, $1,2929 an
| ounce. but until production of base
i meals such as copper and lead are
i / q gain on a normal basis and labor con-
/ dition more settled there will prob
i ably be no increase In price of silver.
