NOTES OF THE DAY
SILVER: PRICES.
The announcement that the United States Treasury in in the market for a further thousand million ounces of silver 'fore- shadows automatically a steady rine In the price of the white metal. Careful management may prevent spectacular jumps and so much is promised. It is, however, difficult to understand exactly how It is proposed to prevent specula tive rises, or even put an effective brake upon it. The U.S. Treasury can only refrain from aggravating the market situation by staying out when the bulls are active and. by taking care not to buy too much rising market. Doubtless soma restraint could be guar- anteed if the Government was able to turn seller at its own discretion, but such a step would be inter- preted as running counter to the ratio policy in the Silver Act. There may now appear to be some significance in the fact that this statement of polley is mandatory, not permissive.
