 Furthermore. the treasury recently put twenty million dollars silver at the disposal Of the federal reserve board for the purpose of stabilizins dollar exchange Most of il probably will be shipped to China.

The treasury has available about fifty mil lion dollars silver additional, which i; cen use to held the price of bullion within a reasonable figure should 1t become necessary.
