PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT HAS TAKEN THE WORLD. BY SURPRISE IN PROCLAIMING THE NATIONALISATION OF SILVER IN THE UNITED
STATES.
The likely effect on the world price is being closely studied and is the subject of much speculation.
In some local quarters, there is uncertainty whether the price of 50 cents per ounce will apply to foreign as well as domestic silver. In this connection, it is sug- gested that in the improbable event of America pro- hibiting foreign imports of silver, prices outside would naturally fall, but such action would seem most unlikely and illogical, seeing that the Administration's aim is to enhance the world value of silver.
rise in world silver values is to be expected in the near- future, The London price yesterday was well below New York parity, due to the fact that the nationalisation announcement came too late to affect the London mar ket. Price should, however, be up in London to-morrow.
There is again talk of the possibility of China plac ing an embargo on exports, and in view of this, as well as of the confusion which exists regarding the exact meaning of the American policy, there is a re- luctance locally to be too dogmatic in making predictions
