INCREASE IN SILVER
| PRICE IS DISCOUNTED
British Brokers Question Expedi.
ent of Artifcally Raising Quota
tions on White Metal.
By the Associated Press.

Pixley d Abell. leading British bull
lion brokers, declare in their annual
circular on silver that benefits arising
from any sharp artificial rise in price
appear doubtful for some time to come
Exception was made for those ma
tions which already have large stocks
of silver for immediate disposal. such.
for instance. as the governments of
India or Spain''
Referring to the reconciliation of
silver, they stated that we'll meant ef-
forts to accomplish this end in 1882
had less effect in moving prices than
formerly. due possibly to the fact that
the speculative element in the market
is becoming increasingly skeptical Of
results.
It was stated that the British gov
ernment has little faith in the efficacy
of this method of remedy. either In in
creasing her trade with India and
China or in increasing the worlds sup
plies of available gold.
The circular declared that the fact
should net be altogether forgotten that
the gap between production and con-
sumption is being slowly but steadily
lessened by natural means. The fall
in production, owing to the low price
of the metals Of which silver is by
product, as we'll as the low price Of sill
yer itself, has taken some years to
become really noticeable, and when it
is remembered that the fall in price
began as long ago as 1926. since pro-
duction Is comparatively inelastic. 1t
may be assumed that it would take
nearly as long for it to increase again
to anything like the record figures OF
1929" 1t declared

.BR|T0NS SEE NEED
|. OF GOLD STANDARD
Economic Conference May
Discuss Restoration of
Sound Money Base.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER.

Certain British financial quarters are
looking to the forthcoming World Eco
nomic Conference as an opportunity to
lay the foundation for return Of an
international gold standard
Such is the editorial viewpoint of the
London Statist. financial publication of
the Kingdom. which sees restoration Of
the gold base as the essential pre-
requisite of general revival in inter-
national trade"
Hasty Action Opposed.
No suggestion. however. is made that
the former conditions of the British gold
standard of 1925 should be continued if
and when return to gold is effected.
On the contrary. it was declared that
I'VE obviously cannot repeat the mistake
Of 1925 and rush back to gold, leaving
other countries to return later at pari-
ties which gave them widely disturbing
advantages in international markets" !"
Many and varied opinions have been
advanced from time to time by financial
experts Of Britain anent the subject, but
all are agreed that great care should be
exercised If modified restoration Of
gold is to take place. Almost unanimous
Is the declaration that there can be no
doubt that the return to the gold stand
ard until the conditions under which it
is to work have been improved would
do more harm than good
Periodic dispatches which have come
to the attention of the Federal Re
serve Board indicate that England feels
she has the whip hand in the matter.
and there will be no precipitate return
to gold.
One communication. said that ir
many countries the abandonment of
gold was not regarded as a tragedy
from the purely national point Of view.
Hope for Agreement.
Spokesman for the kingdom have de-
clared that If a return to gold is to be
made it must be a fairly general and
simultaneous return, and if. it can be
done at all it can be accomplished only
by international cooperation.
The Statist believes the forthcoming
conference offers the opportunity fol
such international discussion as might
lead to world adoption Of an equitable
gold base.

Foreign Earmarking and Exports
Reduce Stocks During Last
a12 Business Days.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 4.-The reduc-
ton Of gold to the United States
through the medium Of foreign ear
marking" and actual exports, in the
last IL business days has been approx
imately $125.OOo,000 in the aggregate
Most of the loss has been suffered
through earmarking operations. with the
relatively small actual exports having
been represented by shipments Of gold
to the so-called safety" countries
namely, Switzerland, France and Hol-
land.
Despite the frequent reversal Of the
trend of the gold flow in the last two
years. the latest available figures showed
the country's monetary gold stocks at
s4.46O 900 900. or well above the monthly
average of such stocks during 1928 and
1929. when that average stood at $4.-
$50 100000. The subsequent rise and
fall of gold stocks here has reflected
chiefly the frequent transfer Of funds
designed chiefly to seek safety OF capi-
tai by the shippers.
