lat London
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, July 6-Silver prices
slumped sharply in the London mar
ket today, due to nervousness over
what policy and price would be es-
tablished by the United States
Treasury on foreign purchases.
Spot silver fell 9-l6 1.l9 cents to
177-l6 pence (36.73 cents per ounce,
while the two months forward quo
tation dropped z CLOS cents to II
pence 1851 cents.
There was little general selling.
but virtually no support because of

was persistent feeling in London
that after President Roosevelt signs
into law the monetary compromise
legislation, the Treasury may UNDER
take gradually to reduce its buying
price for foreign silver considerably
below the latest figure of SO cents
