After fixing the price, gossip in bullion circles turned to the amount of silver which was offered to t taken by the United States yester- day afternoon, estimates varying be- tween 750,000 and. 1,500,000 ounces. Almost immediately after to-day's fx- ing Indis turned buyer, bidding up, the price by an eighth, but sellers were holding off.

Editor's Vision To Be Realized on World Cruise
The above picture showing the Empress of Britain and Sydney's great harbour bridge re- presents the dream of an Australian editor, who in making the composite picture from separate photographs at the time the bridge was opened could not have known that the Empress would ever visit the port "down under" Captioned "Splendid Empire Achievements" the picture showed the greatest single-span bridge ever bulit within the Empire and the occan liner which, launched a year previously was, at the time, the largest ship built in the Empire since the war. Now comes the announcement that the Empress of Britain will visit Sydney during her 1937 Round-the-World Cruise, and with it the realisation that, when the ship is there next April, at least one editur's dream wil have come true.
Not only Sydney will be visited while the big white liner is in the Antipodes; she will also take her cruise members to Melbourne and to the New Zealand ports of Wellligion and Auck- land. Her cruise starts from New York January 8 and will end there on May 16. Until heading for Australia she will follow the usual world cruise course.--Madeira, Gibraltar, Algiers, Naples, Athens, Palestine, Egypt, India, Ceylon, the Straite Settlements. Leaving New Zealand she will go to the Fill Islands, also new territory for her World Cruilse, Honolulu, San Francisco, Los Angelea and the Panama Canal Zone.
