New York, May 1.
Wall Street students of the silver situation are in- clined to look for a surprise move when the Treasury takes the next step in its silver programme.
While the Treasury is caught between the upheaval caused by the Mexican monetary reforms and heavy- world speculation, it apparently is loath to move hastily. Many authorities wonder whether speculators may not find themselves suddenly stranded with holdings should. the Treasury decide to yield to growing pressure for devaluation of the silver dollar to the same ratio as the gold dollar. This theory finds support in the impossibili- ty to carry out the silver mandate in view of the dwind- ling world supply of the metal and the relative case with which the problem could be solved by fixing the silver price at $2.18 per ounce, with the result that the present
