New York, Dec. 10-(UP)-De- moralization of world silver markets unsettled stock and bond markets today. Silver shares broke 2 to more than 8 points. At London, traders were unable to fix price for silver metal as 100000 to 20.- OOO.OO ounces were offered with no bids. The United States treasury which heretofore has been a lone buyer, apparently was out of the market.
 Montreal silver futures broke 800 points or 5 cents, the limit of fluc- tuation. No price was fixed in Lon don. In New York, Handy & Har- man, bullion brokers, fixed the price at 63% cents an ounce, a decline of a cent from yesterday. Traders an- ticipated further breaks, especially since the Montreal exchange took precautions for such contingency by raising the margin requirements.
 On the stock exchange U. S.. Smelling touched 98% off 8h. American Smelling 581s off As; Cerro De Pasco 58A off As, and Howe Sound 55& off 3as.
 In the Copper group, Anaconda, International Nickel, Chile Copper, and Kennecott declined fractions to 2 points. Colds went higher with Dome Mines setting new high for the year at 447s up B.

ton by Solicitor General Stanley Reed. He said that the court in the past has been so reluctant to curb the power of the federal gov ernment tospend money, that he felt the issue needed little attention.
 Attack of Pepper
 Peppers attack, if sustained, would invalidate the farm program so effectively that its ends could not be attained except by con- Stitutional amendment or some other plan tas yet never considered.
 The frock-coated pleaderS began their argument just after the court had delivered many opinions throughout which it appeared its chief concern had been to avoid giving any indication of its atti- tude toward New Deal legislation.
 When the court struck down a section of the Home Owners Loan Corporation act of 1883, the jurists specifically inserted the statement that they did so without going into any questions of emergency power, eminent domain or the power to regulate interstate and foreign com merce.
 The section involved permitted State Building and Loan Associa- tionS to switch to federal charters without consent of state authorities.
 The day also revealed members of the court in closer accord than then have been this term. There was only one dissent. It was de- livered by the three so-called lib- eral justices, Louis D. Brandeis, Harlan F. Stone and Benjamin N. Cardoza.
 They protested decision in which the majority ruled that con- gress could not impose tax of $l,- 900 on post repeal bootleggers in dry states.
 What Pepper Said
 Attacking the AAA law yesterday, Pepper told the court:
 We do not question that the sec- retary of agriculture. in fixing the amount of the tax, did the very best job he could.
 Our objection to the irregularity of the law goes much deeper. It is use of the regulatory power far beyond the powers of congress to control matters which are wholly within the realm of the state. If beyond the constitutional power, the entire scheme must fail and with them the processin.; tax"
 Reed centered his defense on the processing tax which, he asserted, was 8 proper delegation of power to the secretary of agriculture by congress.

 Among today's rumors was that the United States was negotiating with China for the bulk of that na- tions silver and that Henry Mor- genthau, U. s. secretary of the treasury, had decided to punish" silver spectators. by withdrawal from the market.
 U. S. Facts to Help
 Washington, Dec. 10-(UP)-Mys- tery surrounded the treasury's ap- parent failure to support the Lorl- don silver market today, and unof- ficial experts believed that import ant international issues were in- volved behind the scenes. The Lon- don market collapsed.
 One informed quarter speculated that the treasury had refused to support the London market be- cause large quantities of. silver, smuggled out of China into Japan, had been offered on the market.
 The source said reports from the China sea indicated that silver moving out of China into Japan during November was three times as great as in the same month a year before.
 China has attempted to prevent export of silver which is the basis of its currency, but substantial amounts have left secretly for many months due to the high price it commanded in London where the United States treasury is heavy purchaser
 Recent indicatoin had been that the treasury hoped to keep the silver price relatively steady while China installed new measures to protect it's currency. The United States told China months ago that it would try to conduct its silver

 Washington, Dec. 10.-(UP)- Former Senator George Wharton Pepper, returned to the supreme court today for another onslaught on the AAAs processing taxes life-blood of the New Deals farm relief program.
 Pepper, representing the Hoos&c Mills of Massachusetts, which has brought suit to have the taxes de- clared unconstitutional, opened his case yesterday with an attack on the fundamental plan of voluntary agreements to restrict production. He attempted to convince the nine elderly justices that crop production control, whether voluntary or not, went far beyond the powers of the federal government.
 This plea was given scant atten-
