SILVER CIRCLES CONFUSED
New York, To-day.
Silver circles, both in the United States and Mexico, aré. very confused pending further clarification of future procedure by the US. Treasury as well as the Bank of Mexico regarding Mexican silver.

Private opinions that the Treasury embargo on Mexican silver may be the forerunner of modification of the silver pur- chase programme, appear to be entirely unsubstantiated-Reu- ter
