The rapid rise in silver prices has thrown the market here into a state of considerable excitement, opinions varied as to the future trend of the white metal. The general belief, however, is that whilst there may be a temporary set-back, prices will continue to remain high.
It is recognised on all hands that heavy speculative buying and small supplies are responsible for the recent sustained advance in prices, with American buying not a serious factor latterly.
Although a reaction from last night's spectacular advance is expected, silver seems headed for higher prices still so long as the United States continues to carry out its silver purchase programme.

Yesterday's sensational rise in silver on the London Market is partially reflected in the Hong- kong dollar quotation this morning, which rose a halfpenny to 18. Ed. This is the highest rate quoted for the past five years,
Silver rose in London to 24% for the spot quotation, an advance of no less than 1.1/8d., whilst the forward quotation rose 1.3/16d. to 24.5/8d. The advance was due to large apeculative buying und short supplies. China sold at the advance, and the market uncertain.

There were no signs of Ameri- can buying on the London mar- ket yesterday, and it is presumed that speculators bought in order to forestall official American pur- chases, as there was no news to cause the rush of buying. China and India speculators were cape-¦ cially prominent.
