The member trade statistics are due for publication next week und will probably be unpleasant rending. There is no particularly construc- tive news to warrant buying.

RIGHT OF BLOCKADE IS DENIED
British Answer To Franco
London, Dec. 7. A Note has been received from the Spanish Insurgent authorities re- garding the declaration recently made by radio from Cadiz an the blockade of the coasts of Govern- ment Spain.
In reply to this note the British Ambassador at Hendaye has been instructed to remind General Franco that bigerent rights have not been recognised in the present conflict,
and that therefore the British Gov- ernment cannot recognise any right to declare a blockade of this kind.
British shipping, It is stated, will continue to be protzeted as hereto- fore against Interference when trad- ing with
Spanish ports. A su tion had been made that approaches to the parts of Government Spain would be mined and in this connee- flon altention of the Insurgent authorities is called to the Hague Convention forbidding the laying of mines off the coasts and ports of the enemy with the sole oblation tercepting commercial navigation. The suggested action, therefore, it is pointed out would be breach of international law even if, as is not the ease, belligerent rights had been granted.-British Wireless.

BIG U.S. PURCHASES
The Wall Street Journal under- stands that on Monday with the pur- pose of preventing the collapse of silver on the London market, the United States bought nearly 1,000,000 ounces largely because of the Far East warfare which weakened the market.
The Journal says that since China abandoned the silver standard "the only major demand for silver comes from private holders in India who bought exceptionally heavy In the past two years. Shipments to India, however, declined recently and India on Monday was a heavy seller. At present America is absorbing the bulk of the Mexican output, and there is no indication so far whether she will continue to do so, or whether Mexican silver will be sold to London."
The Journal estimates that 30,000,000 ounces of China silver ar- rived in London during past weeks, apparently to use as a credit base, since it has not yet been offered on the market,
the
The World Telegram understands that 10,707,000 ounces of Chinese silver arrived in New York making total receipts from China on recent movement of 30,000,000 ounces. The newspaper comments "presum- ably this is to be used as collateral credits for the Chinese Government." The newspaper understands that the Japanese captured a considerable quantity of silver, a portion of which was sold "nhead of shipment". Both factors contributed further to markel nervousness,-United Press,
